The accompanying Interim Condensed Stand-Alone and Consolidated Financial Statements (hereinafter «Financial Statements») have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
These Financial Statements do not include all the information required for the preparation of a complete set of annual financial statements and therefore they should be examined in conjunction with the published most recent annual financial statements as of 31 December 2006, which are available on the Company's website (www.ote.gr).
The above Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the available for sale securities, which are at fair value with the changes recognized directly in equity.

The significant accounting policies and accounting estimates adopted by OTE for the preparation of the Financial Statements as of 30 September 2007, are the same with those referred to, in the notes to the financial statements as of 31 December 2006.

• IAS 1 Capital Disclosures (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2007) The Amendment of IAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level of an entity's capital and how it manages capital. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to have a significant effect on the Group's financial statements.
• IFRS 8 Operating Segments (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009)
IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 and specifies how an entity must present information regarding the operating segments in the Financial Statements and following the revision of IAS 34 Interim Financial Presentation, requires an entity to present selected information relating to its operations segments in the Interim Financial Statements. Furthermore it sets the requirements of relevant disclosures for the products and services, the geographical area and the significant clients. The new standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Group's financial statements.
• IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflatory Economies: (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 March 2006)
IFRIC 7 requires entities to apply IAS 29 in the reporting period in which an entity first identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional currency as the economy had always been hyperinflatory. IFRIC 7 is not relevant to the Group's financial statements.
• IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2: (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 May 2006) IFRIC 8 refers to the accounting for payment transactions in shares where some or all of the goods and services which were acquired cannot be specified.

On 28 February 2007, OTE signed a collective labor agreement with OME-OTE, according to which, eligible employees will be entitled to benefits in order to retire up to 30 December 2007. The deadline for the applications' submission on behalf of the employees expired on 31 March 2007 and can not be recalled. The relative total cost was determined to Euro 22.1 and is included in the Nine months 2007 Income Statement.
In May 2007 European Commission by its relevant decision with reference number 2/2006 (ex L 405/2005) judged that Hellenic Republic's proposal to grant a 4% of its ownership to OTE Pension Fund, according to the article 74 of L. 3371/2005 is not against common market regulation as is defined in the article 87 paragraph 3. The total contribution of the Hellenic Republic to OTE Pension Fund according to the above decision could not exceed the amount of Euro 390.4. The exact amount will depend on the timing and the procedures that will be followed by the Hellenic Government for the implementation of the decision.

The following information is provided for the reportable segments, which are separately disclosed in the financial statements and is regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision makers.
Segments were determined based on the Group's legal structure, as the Group's chief operating decision makers review financial information separately reported by the parent company (OTE) and each of the Group's consolidated subsidiaries.
Using quantitative thresholds OTE, COSMOTE and ROMTELECOM, have been determined as reportable segments. Information about operating segments that do not constitute reportable segments have been combined and disclosed in an "All Other" category.
Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those followed for the preparation of the financial statements. The Group evaluates segment performance based on operating income before depreciation and amortization, operating income and profit for the period.

Fees paid to the members of the Board of Directors and key management personnel compensation charged in the Income Statements of the nine months 2007 and 2006, amounted to Euro 3.6 and 2.8, respectively.
OTE's repeating General Assembly of 3 April 2007 approved the Board of Directors' decision to adopt a management stock option plan (the "Option Plan") based on performance conditions for OTE's management personnel and Directors of subsidiaries.
More specifically, the beneficiaries are entitled to obtain a certain number of options of the Company for a predefined price (Exercise price), by the end of a certain period of time, based upon the satisfaction of certain criteria of performance, individual and of the Company, during the respective period.
The Option Plan's is expected to be implemented in 2007. The Option Plan, permits our Board of Directors to grant Option Rights to eligible employees on an annual basis. Upon their initial participation in the Option Plan, eligible employees become entitled to a number of initial options ("Basic Option Rights"), while, in subsequent years, the Board may also grant to eligible employees further option ("Additional Option Rights") on an annual basis.
Basic Option Rights vest in stages over a three-year period (40%, 30% and 30% upon the first, second and third anniversaries, respectively, of the commencement of the Plan), while Additional Option Rights vest 100%, upon the third anniversary of the commencement of the Plan.
Each Option Right represents the right to one share. Beneficiaries may exercise vested Option Rights within the first four years from the vesting date of such rights for the first vested Option Rights under the Option Plan, the exercise price will be equal to the average closing price of our shares in the second half of the year immediately preceding the date on which the Board of Directors recommended the Option Plan to the General Assembly for approval. As for subsequent implementations, the exercise price will be equal to the average closing price of the shares during the month immediately preceding the date on which the Board of Directors granted such rights.
The number of granted Rights for the first implementation of the Option Plan, is adjusted according to the beneficiary's seniority level, as follows:
| Beneficiaries | Maximum number of Basic Rights per beneficiary in the first three years ("Basic Option Rights") |
Maximum number of Additional Rights per beneficiary By the end of the third year ("Additional Option Rights") |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Managing Directors of Subsidiaries |
35,000 | 7,000 | |
| Directors | 18,000 | 4,500 | |
| Deputy Directors | 9,500 | 3,100 |
The maximum number of Option Rights to be granted to each beneficiary in subsequent plans may be adjusted by the Board of Directors. The General Assembly of the shareholders may suspend, cancel or amend the Option Plan at any time.
On 26 July 2007 the Hellenic Telecommunications & Post Commission (HTPC) imposed a series of fines on OTE, of total amount Euro 27.35.
OTE has filed lawsuits before the Athens Court of Appeals against this decision demanding its annulment and the hearing of the lawsuits is scheduled for 16 January 2008.
Apart from the above case there are no significant developments in the litigation and claims, as compared with the cases that have been disclosed in the notes to the 31 December 2006 financial statements. Appropriate provisions have been established in relation to litigation and claims, the outcome of which can be reasonably estimated and is expected to be unfavorable for the Company.
The most significant events that have occurred after 30 September 2007, are the following:
a. A share buy back program, of OTE in accordance with the article 16 of the Law 2190/1920 of up to 1/10 of the total OTE share capital, with the highest price set at €35 and the minimum price set at €15, with a concurrent suspension of the relevant decision of the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of OTE on 21 June 2007.
b. Amendments to the current Articles of Association: Addition of article 5a (Shares), amendments of articles 8 (Board of Directors), 10 (Composition and Operation of the Board of Directors), 17 (Invitation - Agenda of the General Assembly of Shareholders) and 21 (Special Quorum and Majority).
From the above date until 26 November 2007, OTE acquired through Athens Stock Exchange 68,040,309 shares with corresponding voting rights. Following these transactions OTE holds 88.16% of the total voting rights of COSMOTE.
The proceeds of the loan were on lent by OTE PLC to OTE through an intercompany loan of equivalent amount, signed also on 9 November 2007 and includes similar terms and conditions.
The loan agreement includes standard restrictions and among others, a Change of Control clause. This clause is triggered in case there is a change of control in OTE, and as a result of this change the credit rating of OTE or the surviving entity is downgraded below BBB/Baa2. In the event that this clause is triggered, OTE should proceed with mandatory prepayment of the loan of Euro 2.7 billion.
