BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT

Concerning the Financial Statements for the period 1st January – 30 June 2008

Kifissia, 30 July 2008

Dear Shareholders,

According to the law 3556/2007 and the executive decisions of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, we submit for the period of the First Half of 2008 (1st January – 30th June 2008) the present semi annual report of the board of Directors referring to the consolidated and parent company financial data.

1) Important Events during the First Half of 2008

During the 1st Half of 2008 Frigoglass proceeded with the acquisition of the controlling stake in SFA SOGUTMA SANAYI IC VE DIS TICARET A.S., a Turkish cooler manufacturer. Frigoglass now owns 86% of the share capital of SFA, having paid a net consideration of €51.2 million (including debt but excluding acquisitions costs).

SFA is one of the leading exporting suppliers of ICMs in the region with a particularly strong presence in the brewery, dairy and juice segments. 2008 Sales are expected to be around €50 million. SFA has been successful in developing a blue-chip customer portfolio across different segments through an exciting range of products. Frigoglass would be focusing on further enhancing the relationship with the new SFA accounts and of course, extending our collaboration with existing ones. The production facilities in Turkey further provide an excellent base for the promising markets of Central Asia and the Near East.

SFA contributed €42.2 million to Cool Operations in the first half, driven primarily by sales to breweries, resulting in reported Cool Operations Sales of €305.4 million, representing a 17.1% year-on-year increase. EBITDA relating to SFA amounted to €4.0 million, implying reported EBITDA for Cool Operations of €67.2 million. Net Profit derived from SFA equated to €0.3 million, with reported Net Profit for Cool Operations therefore amounting to €39.0 million.

2) Operational Review

Frigoglass reported Consolidated Sales growth of 16.5% in the first half of 2008, to €338.4 million, of which SFA contributed €42.2 million. Underlying Sales increased 1.9% to €296.2 million.

In Cool Operations, underlying volumes rose 6.9%, with a lower mix resulting in Sales, excluding the impact of SFA, increasing by 0.9% in the first half to €263.2 million, representing 89% of underlying Group Sales. Underlying Net Profit declined 1.3% to €38.7 million.

In geographic terms, Sales in Europe declined 4.8%, owing primarily to lower Sales than expected in Russia and Germany. However, Sales growth in the emerging regions of Africa/Middle East and Asia/Oceania was notable, increasing 44.7% and 13.8% respectively. The markets which contributed the most incrementally to Sales in the first half were Poland, the Ukraine, Greece and Morocco, with noteworthy contributions from Serbia, Romania, Nigeria and Switzerland.

In terms of Sales by customer group, Sales to Coca-Cola Hellenic increased by 10.8% in the first half, (now representing 39.1% of Cool Operations Sales compared to 35.6% in the respective period last year), due to strong placements in Poland, the Ukraine and Romania, whilst Sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers declined 8.9%, (with this segment now accounting for 22.3% of Cool Operations Sales compared to 24.7% last year). Sales to breweries decreased by 1.1%, with the respective contribution to Cool Operations Sales at 29.6% versus 30.2% in the first half of last year. However, Sales growth to the dairy segment witnessed strong growth of 158.3%, increasing the contribution to Cool Operations Sales to 1.3% compared to 0.5% in the first half last year.

Nigeria Operations continues to see strong momentum, realising a Sales increase of 6.3% in Euro terms to €29.8 million in the first half; this equates to a 7.3% increase in local currency terms. Growth was driven by a strong performance in Glass, where Sales increased by 19.6% in Euro terms to €21.7 million. This division represents 10% of underlying Group Sales. Net Profit for Nigeria Operations increased by 156.9% in Euro terms in the first half, to €2.9 million. In Plastics Operations, Sales in the first half continued to demonstrate strong growth, increasing 47.5% to €4.2 million, with Net Profit growth of 137.6% to €0.7 million.

Underlying Operating Profit (EBIT) increased 6.2% to €65.0 million, with the respective Operating Profit margin increasing 80 bps to 21.9% despite a 1.9% increase in the Cost of Goods Sold. Adjusting for the divestment of PET and TSG in Nigeria, Operating Profit (EBIT) increased by 2.8%.

Underlying Net Profit increased 4.0% to €42.3 million in the first half, aided by a lower effective tax rate compared to the same period last year, and despite increased exchange losses and financial expenses. SFA contributed €0.3 million to Reported Consolidated Net Profit.

Cash flow pre-working capital for the first half of 2008, including SFA, was down €4.2m to €65.4m owing to a negative €5.4m swing in exchange rate changes. Together with the assumption of trade debtors from SFA, as well as the cash purchase of SFA, net cash flow after operational and investing activities decreased from an outflow of €6.8 million in the first half of 2007 to a cash outflow of €44.8 million.

Net Sales

Underlying Consolidated Net Sales increased 1.9% to €296.2 million, with Cool Operations Sales increasing 0.9%, and with the ongoing strong momentum of Glass in Nigeria Operations and of Plastics Operations.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit increased 2.0% on an underlying basis in the first half, to €89.3 million. The Cost of Goods Sold rose 1.9%, in line with Sales, and therefore the respective margin remained flat at 30.1% year-on-year. Frigoglass mitigated the effect of rapidly rising input costs in the first half through prebuying the majority of its raw material requirements at the end of 2007.

Operating Profit (EBIT)

Underlying Operating Profit increased 6.2% in the first half, to €65.0 million, with the respective margin improving 80 bps to 21.9%. Adjusting for the proceeds from the divestment of PET, underlying EBIT increased 2.8% to €62.9 million. Operating Expenses increased only by 1.1%, with the OpEx margin declining 10 bps to 9.3% owing to ongoing cost management initiatives.

Net Profit

Underlying Net Profit increased 4.0% for the first half, to €42.3 million. Financial Expenses increased 73.3% in the period, owing to seasonal outflows from increased trade debtors and additional pre-buying of raw materials. Exchange losses also increased, mainly relating to the US Dollar, South African Rand, Romanian Lei and Russian Rouble. However, the effective tax rate for the period decreased from 28.5% to 27.0%.

Cash flow (reported)

Net cash generated from operations decreased from €8 million in the comparable period of 2007 to an outflow of €22.2 million. This was driven by a negative development in exchange rates and increased trade debtors (mainly owing to assumption of SFA debtors).

The acquisition of SFA, offset marginally by the proceeds from the sale of the PET operation in Nigeria, increased the decline in net cash after operational and investing activities decline from an outflow of €6.8 million in the first half of 2007 to an outflow of €44.8 million

Balance Sheet (reported)

The above mentioned increase in trade debtors together with the SFA acquisition saw net debt rise to €148.2 million compared to €142.3 million at the end of the first quarter 2008. Thus, Frigoglass' net debt to equity ratio has remained largely unchanged at 67.1% compared to 67.2% at the end of the first quarter 2008. In line with our unusual trading patterns, we expect our trade debtors' position to reverse in the second half.

Average NWC/NTS ratio increased 3.3% to 48% versus 47% the same period last year mainly due to increased inventories.

Capital Expenditure

During the first half of 2008, Frigoglass incurred capital expenditure of €11.4 million on an underlying basis with the majority attributed to Cool operations (€6.7 million) towards Russia, China, Romania and India plants. Nigeria operations capex amounted to €4.2 million.

4) Parent Company Financial Data

The Company's Net Sales remained at the same levels of € 67m.

Gross Profit increased 7% to €12.7m compared to previous year.

Earnings Before Interest Tax & Depreciation reached €12m, increased by 12% compared to previous year.

Earnings after Tax decreased by 14% y-o-y reaching €6.4m.

5) Main Risks and uncertainties for the Second Half of 2008

Raw Material Price Volatility

Raw material costs headwinds as copper, steel, aluminium and PVC are our main raw materials and therefore we have adopted policies to mitigate this risk.

We negotiate volume, not just price.

We keep strategic inventory reserves at the supplier, at our plants, and in finished goods, to guarantee availability.

We set up contracts with suppliers that are long enough to satisfy production plans but short enough to permit adjustment if prices start to decline.

We have also negotiated prices as of the beginning of the year for main components.

Product Demand

Possible demand slowdown for ICM's due to rising economic uncertainties. We expand business into New Markets and attract new customers in existing Markets.

FX rate exposure

The Group/Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Nigerian naira, South African rand, Indian rupee, Norwegian Krone, Swedish Krona, Russian rubble and the Chinese Yuan.

Entities in the Group use natural hedging, transacted with the Group Treasury, to hedge their exposure to foreign currency risk in connection with the presentation currency.

Significant customer dependency

Significant customer dependence on CCH.

A percentage of 30.45 of 2008 first half group sales are coming from CCH. Efforts during the past year have reduced our dependency. Continuous ongoing effort to broaden our client base.

Political instability in emerging markets.

• Penetration of organized crime in the global economy increases significantly over a 10-year period, weakening state authority, worsening the investment climate and slowing growth.

• Multiple developed economies take steps (tariffs, WTO disputes) which retard existing trade and further undermine talks on increased global integration.

• Multiple significant emerging economies advance policies that harm foreign direct investment and slow the engine of global growth.

Risk of natural disasters mostly in S.E. Asia. (lack of infrastructure)

Extreme weather events linked to climate change and other natural disasters (i.e. earthquakes) will impact businesses and society at large.

We are adopting full business continuity plans to protect against business interruption arising from natural disasters.

Nigeria Division

Customs related restrictions which imply the risk of delay in imports of raw materials.

Raw material price pressure, associated with glass (natural gas) as it is the main energy source for all of our three plants, and soda ash, raw material for our glass companies.

Freight cost increase.

6) Important Transactions with Related Parties

The important transactions of the Group and the Company with related parties are presented analytically in Note 20 of the Interim Financial Statements.

7) Other information

No significant events have occurred from the end of the fiscal period under consideration to the date of this report, that have any affect on the reported fiscal period.

No significant losses are present at the time of our report's submission, nor are any expected to occur in the future as a result of possible events.

Report on review of interim financial information

To the Shareholders of Frigoglass S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying company and consolidated condensed balance sheet of Frigoglass S.A. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as of 30 June 2008, the related company and consolidated condensed statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended which also include certain explanatory notes, that comprise the interim financial information and which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007. The Company's Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and as applicable to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim 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" to which Greek Auditing Standards refer to. 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 Greek Auditing Standards 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.

Review conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Reference to Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In addition to the interim financial information referred to above, we reviewed the remaining information included in the six-month financial report as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007 as well as the information required by the relevant Decisions of the Capital Markets Committee as set-out in the Law. Based on our review we concluded that the financial report includes the data and information that is required by the Law and the Decisions referred to above and is consistent with the accompanying financial information.

Frigoglass Group

1. Notes to the financial statements

1.1 General Information

These financial statements include the financial statements of the parent company FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. (the "Company") and the consolidated annual financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group").

Frigoglass S.A.I.C. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacturing, trade and distribution of commercial refrigeration units and packaging materials for the beverage industry. The Group has manufacturing plants and sales offices in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and based in Kifissia, Attica. The Company's' shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.

The address of its registered office is:

15, A. Metaxa Street GR 145 64, Kifissia Athens, Hellas

The company's web page is: www.frigoglass.com

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on the 30th of July 2008.

2. Basis of Preparation

This condensed interim financial information for the three months ended 30 June 2008 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The interim condensed financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 that is available on the company's web page www.frigoglass.com

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in preparing this condensed interim financial information are consistent with those described in the Company and Group annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.

There have been no changes in the accounting policies used from those that were used for the preparation of the annual financial statements prepared by the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2007.

This condensed interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the financial derivatives which are recognized on the basis of fair value in the Income Statement.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Moreover, it requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparation of interim financial information and the reported income and expense amounts during the reporting period. Although these estimates and judgments are based on the best possible knowledge of Management with respect to the current conditions and activities, the actual results can eventually differ from these estimates.

Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and corresponding amounts in the notes results from rounding differences.

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 these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards effective for year ended 31 December 2008

No new standards have been issued that are mandatory for the current financial year end.

Interpretations effective for year ended 31 December 2008

IFRIC 11 - IFRS 2: Group and Treasury share transactions

This interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007 and clarifies the treatment where employees of a subsidiary receive the shares of a parent. It also clarifies whether certain types of transactions are accounted for as equity-settled or cash-settled transactions. This interpretation is not expected to have any impact on the Group's financial statements.

IFRIC 12 - Service Concession Arrangements

This interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008 and applies to companies that participate in service concession arrangements. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 14 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction

This interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008 and applies to post-employment and other long-term employee defined benefit plans. The interpretation clarifies when refunds or reductions in future contributions should be regarded as available, how a minimum funding requirement might affect the availability of reductions in future contributions and when a minimum funding requirement might give rise to a liability. As the Group does not operate any such benefit plans for its employees, this interpretation is not relevant to the Group.

Standards effective after year ended 31 December 2008

IFRS 8 - Operating Segments

This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and supersedes IAS 14, under which segments were identified and reported based on a risk and return analysis. Under IFRS 8 segments are components of an entity regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker and are reported in the financial statements based on this internal component classification. The Group will apply IFRS 8 from 1 January 2009.

Amendments to IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs

This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and replaces the previous version of IAS 23. The main change is the removal of the option of immediately recognising as an expense borrowing costs that relate to assets that need a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. The Group will apply IAS 23 from 1 January 2009.

Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements'

IAS 1 has been revised to enhance the usefulness of information presented in the financial statements and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The key changes are: the requirement that the statement of changes in equity include only transactions with shareholders, the introduction of a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all items of income and expense recognised in profit or loss together with "other comprehensive income", and the requirement to present restatements of financial statements or retrospective application of a new accounting policy as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period. The Group will apply these amendments and make the necessary changes to the presentation of its financial statements in 2009.

Amendments to IFRS 2 'Share Based Payment' – Vesting Conditions and Cancellations

The amendment, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, clarifies the definition of "vesting condition" by introducing the term "non-vesting condition" for conditions other than service conditions and performance conditions. The amendment also clarifies that the same accounting treatment applies to awards that are effectively cancelled by either the entity or the counterparty. The Group does not expect that these amendments will have an impact on its financial statements.

Revisions to IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' and IAS 27 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements'

A revised version of IFRS 3 Business Combinations and an amended version of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. The revised IFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations which will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. Such changes include the expensing of acquisition-related costs and recognizing subsequent changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the profit or loss. The amended IAS 27 requires that a change in ownership interest of a subsidiary to be accounted for as an equity transaction. Furthermore the amended standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. The changes introduced by these standards must be applied prospectively and will affect future acquisitions and transactions with minority interests. The Group will apply these changes form their effective date.

Amendments to IAS 32 and IAS 1 Puttable Financial Instruments

The amendment to IAS 32 requires certain puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation to be classified as equity if certain criteria are. The amendment to IAS 1 requires disclosure of certain information relating to puttable instruments classified as equity. Both amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The Group does not expect these amendments to impact the financial statements of the Group.

Interpretations effective after year ended 31 December 2008

IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes

This interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008 and clarifies the treatment of entities that grant loyalty award credits such as ''points'' and ''travel miles'' to customers who buy other goods or services. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 15 - Agreements for the construction of real estate

This interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 and addresses the diversity in accounting for real estate sales. Some entities recognise revenue in accordance with IAS 18 (i.e. when the risks and rewards in the real estate are transferred) and others recognise revenue as the real estate is developed in accordance with IAS 11. The interpretation clarifies which standard should be applied to particular. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 16 - Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation

This interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008 and applies to an entity that hedges the foreign currency risk arising from its net investments in foreign operations and qualifies for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. The interpretation provides guidance on how an entity should determine the amounts to be reclassified from equity to profit or loss for both the hedging instrument and the hedged item. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group as the Group does not apply hedge accounting for any investment in a foreign operation.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances.

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year concern income tax.

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required by the Group Management in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. If the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax.

The calculation of the goodwill arising on the acquisition of SFA Sogutma Sanayi Ic Ve Dis Ticaret A.S. (Constantinople, Turkey) has been made provisionally based on the carrying amounts at the date of the acquisition (note 23).

4.2 Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies

There are no areas that Management required to make critical judgements in applying accounting policies.

The extent of Group and parent company, exposure to fluctuations of interest rate,

is consider to be for periods less than six months when repricing occurs.

The fair value of current and non current borrowings closely approximates their carrying value,

since the company borrows at floating interest rates, which are repriced in periods shorter than six months.

The total value of pledged group assets as at 30/06/2008 was €16.1 m. (31/12/2007: € 15.8 m. ) There are no pledged assets for the parent company.

The increase in borrowings on 30/06/2008 compared to 31/12/2007 is due to the acquisition of SFA Sogutma Sanayi Ic Ve Dis Ticaret A.S. (note 23) as well as due to the fact that the Group's operations exhibit seasonality, consequently the level of the working capital required during the first half varies significantly compared to 31/12/2007.

A statutory reserve is created under the provisions of Hellenic law (Law 2190/20, articles 44 and 45) according to which, an amount of at least 5% of the profit (after tax) for the year must be transferred to this reserve until it reaches one third of the paid share capital. The statutory reserve can not be distributed to the shareholders of the Company except for the case of liquidation.

The Stock option reserve refers to a stock option program with beneficiaries the Company's BoD and employees and is analysed in note 28 of the annual financial statements.

The Company has created tax free reserves, taking advances off various Hellenic Taxation laws, during the years, in order to achieve tax deductions, either by postponing the tax liability till the reserves are distributed to the shareholders, or by eliminating any future income tax payment by issuing new shares for the shareholders of the company. Should the reserves be distributed to the shareholders as dividends, the distributed profits will be taxed with the rate that was in effect at the time of the creation of the reserves. No provision has been created in regard to the possible income tax liability in the case of such a future distribution of the reserves the shareholders of the company as such liabilities are recognized simultaneously with the dividends distribution.
