Notes to the condensed consolidated and Company interim financial information

This condensed interim financial information includes the interim financial information of the company LAMDA Development S.A. (the "Company") and the interim consolidated financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries (together "the Group"). The names of the subsidiaries are presented in note 7 of this financial information.

The main activities of the Group are the investment, development and maintenance of innovative real estate projects and marine services.

The Group is activated in Greece and in other neighbour Balkan countries mainly Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro and its shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Greece. The address of its registered office is 16 Laodikias & Nimfeou Str., 11528, Athens and its website address is www.Lamda-development.net. The company is controlled by Consolidated Lamda Holdings S.A. which is domiciled in Luxembourg and therefore Group's financial information is included in its consolidated financial information. The company Consolidated Lamda Holdings S.A. is controlled by Latsis family.

This financial information was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on November 7, 2008.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

The interim financial information of LAMDA Development SA cover the nine month period ended 30 September 2008. It has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 which are available on the website address www.Lamdadevelopment.net.

2.2 Accounting policies

The accounting principles that have been used in the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information are in accordance with those used for the preparation of the Company and Group annual financial statements as of December 31, 2007. New standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards that are mandatory for financial year ending 31 December 2008, as they were described in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007 either were not relevant to the Group's operations or did not have a significant impact on the financial information.

This condensed interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the investments in property, the available for sale financial assets and the derivative financial instruments, which after the initial recognition, are carried at fair value.

The preparation of financial information in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Moreover, the use of estimates and assumptions that have an influence on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparation of financial information and the reported income and expense amounts during the reporting period, are required. Although these estimates are based on the best possible knowledge of management with respect to the current conditions and activities, the real results can eventually differ from these estimates.

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current reporting period or subsequent reporting periods. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards mandatory effective for the annual period ending on 31 December 2008

New standards or amendments that are mandatory effective for financial years beginning during the current period have not been published.

Interpretations mandatory effective for the annual period ending on 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 postemployment 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 mandatory effective for the annual periods beginning after 31 December 2008

IAS 23 (amendment) "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.

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.

IAS 1 (amendment) "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.

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, as the Group does not have any share-based payments.

IFRS 3 (revision) "Business combinations" and IAS 27 (amendment) "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 is 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.

IAS 32 (amendment) "Financial Instruments: Presentation" and consequential IAS 1 (amendment) "Presentation of Financial Statements Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation"

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 mandatory effective for the annual periods beginning after 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.

The effective weighted average interest rates at 30 September 2008 are as follows:

Bank borrowings (current) 6.46%
Bank borrowings (non-current) 6.02%
Bonds (current) 5.47%
Bonds (non-current) 5.60%

By taking into account the participation interest held of each company, it is noted that on 30 September 2008, the average base effective interest rate that the Group is borrowed is 4.65% and the average bank spread is 1.01%. Therefore, the Group total effective borrowing rate is 5.66%.

The Company, during the first quarter of 2008, signed a non-current bond loan of € 50m with Emporiki Bank (5 year, 3 month interest period, floating rate of 3 month Euribor, spread 0.90% and capital repayment at the maturity date). Also, the Company used the overdraft bank account which constitutes current borrowing from Bank of Cyprus, amounting to € 8m with floating rate of each interest period and spread 1.20%.

In addition, during the third quarter of 2008, the Company received non-current bond loans of € 20m, € 50m and € 12m from ALPHA Bank, Piraeus Bank and EFG Eurobank respectively with floating rate of 3 month Euribor, altered spread from 0.90% to 1.25%, 3 month interest period and capital repayment at the maturity date. The intention of the afore-mentioned loans is to cover middle- non-current financial needs.

The Company loans have to fulfil the following financial covenants: at Company level (issuer) the total borrowings (current and non-current) to total equity should not exceed 1.5 and at Group level the total borrowings to total equity should not exceed 3.

Also, the subsidiary "LAMDA Hellix SA" at 31 March 2008, due to the repayment of the purchase of investment property in Koropi from the Company, signed a bond loan amounting to € 3m with EFG Eurobank Ergasias, with 3 month interest period, floating rate based on 3 month Euribor plus margin 1%. The property is secured with pre-notice. Also, the associate "LAMDA Olympia Village SA" repaid € 25m as part of the non-current bond loan with "HSBC Bank plc".

During the three month period ended on June 30, 2008 the Company's subsidiary "PYLEA SA" received € 39 m bank loan from Eurohypo AG which constitutes increase in borrowings and alteration of the current loan (€ 70m). The increase in borrowings was completed without the alteration of the financial covenants that must be fulfilled. In specific, as forecasted in the initial contract, the loan to value for the first five years should not exceed 80%. Also, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) should be higher or equal to 120%.

Moreover, the Company's subsidiary "LAMDA Domi SA" enforced the current borrowings by € 43.5m using the overdraft bank account in Alpha Bank and therefore the balance amounts to € 50m with average 1 month Euribor plus margin from 1.05% to 1.25%.

Finally, the subsidiary "LAMDA Prime Properties SA" received a bond loan of € 10m from ALPHA Bank. The margin is formed at 1.25% for the first year of the loan and onwards is decreased to 1% until its maturity date on September 26, 2018.

There is no further alteration on the fulfilment of financial covenants, which remain the same as in the previous reporting period.

Other Liabilities include pledged shares of subsidiaries. According to the terms of the pledge, the assigned right of the pledge extends to the potential revenues of such shares.

Part of the borrowings € 50m that have been given to subsidiaries and associates have been granted from the parent company.

In addition to the issues mentioned above there are also the following particular issues:

  • The Company has been tax audited until the year 2005. "LAMDA Estate Develoment SA" has been tax audited until the year 2006. "LAMDA Prime Properties SA" has been tax audited until 2004. The rest of the Group's subsidiaries have not been audited for tax purposes since 2003. Consequently, the Group tax obligations have not been defined permanently.
  • At the subsidiary company "LAMDA Olympia Village SA" (ex DIMEPA) a property transfer tax of € 9,8m approximately has been imposed. The Company has appealed to the administrative courts, paying during 2005 € 836k and € 146k approximately during 2006 and € 27k during 2007 (which is included in Deposits and Other Debtors). The estimate of the management is that the imposition of the income tax is without base due to the special law provisions on the law for Olympic works. In any case, if the outcome of the case is negative, according to the share sale agreement between the Municipality of Amaroussion and the Company, the total obligation will be on the Municipality, as it relates to transfers of properties before the acquisition of the shares of the subsidiary by the Company.
  • There are disagreements between Company's subsidiary "PYLAIA SA" and the constructing company "MHXANIKH SA", concerning the evaluation of constructing company's works at the trading center of "PYLAIA SA", the imposition of penalties due to "MHXANIKH SA" partial and final delay of the undertaken project's completion, and the compensation that "PYLAIA SA" is entitled to receive because of working imperfection / deficiency for "MHXANIKH SA". Lawsuit and agreements about the height of claims have been made. "PYLAIA SA" legal consultants estimate that their claims are far greater than "MHXANIKH SA" ones.
  • At the subsidiary "LAMDA TechnolFlisvos Marina", there stand in front of the State of Council requests for cancellation of the environmental terms for the development and refurbishment of Flisvos Marina and the decision of the Ministry of Development with which the existing water base has been surveyed. Those requests are expected to be judged during January 2009. The Group foresees a favorable outcome on these cases. Nevertheless, a negative outcome might have an impact on the completion of works on Flisvos Marina.

  • Five (5) petitions of annulment have been filled and are pending before the State Council for the subsidiary company "LAMDA Olympia Village SA", in relation to the plot of land where the Olympic Press Village (or "Olympiako Chorio Typou") and the Commercial Centre "The Mall Athens" were built. More specifically: the first of these petitions was heard on 03.05.2006 and the decision no 391/2008 of the Fifth Department of the State Council was issued committing for the Plenary Session of the State Council. The hearing for the second petition has been scheduled for 02.12.2009. The hearing for the other petitions has been arranged for 07.11.2008. In accordance with the Company's legal consultants, should the State Council uphold its jurisprudence to date, the aforesaid petitions are not expected to be successful.

  • In the subsidiary company "LAMDA Domi SA" the following are pending: a) five petitions before the Plenary Session of the State Council for annulment which have been scheduled to be heard on the 07.11.2008. The first petition for annulment turns against an agreement executed by and between "OLYMPIC PROPERTIES SA", the second petition turns against the validity of 101576/22.02.2008 common decision of Ministry for the Environment, Physical Planning and Public Works and Ministry of Culture, regarding the approval of the environmental conditions of the project, the third, fourth and fifth petitions turn against the afore-mentioned decision as well as the building permit for the refit of the building to Complex. The applicant of the third petition for annulment exercised a petition for suspension, which included a request for the issuance of an interim order for the suspension of the execution of works. This petition was rejected by the Chair of the State Council. Furthermore, the applicant of the fifth petition for annulment has exercised a petition for suspension, which included a request for the issuance of an interim order for the suspension of the execution of works, but this petition has not been discussed yet. Given the fact that the respective petition of the third applicant was rejected by the Chair of the State Council, according to the assessment of the Company's legal consultants, this new petition will be rejected too, as both petitions for suspension (and the respective petitions for annulment) turn against the same actions with similar reasoning, b) before the Athens Administrative Court of Appeals, a petition for annulment which seeks the annulment and contests the validity of the original building permit for which no hearing has been scheduled yet. It is noted that for this petition, a request for the issuance of an interim order for the suspension of the execution of works. This request was rejected according to the decision 178/2008 of the judge of the Administrative Court of Appeals. According to the legal counsels who represent the company in these cases, if the State Council upholds its jurisprudence on the admissibility for hearing of a petition for annulment, the petition is not likely to be successful.

Additionally, there are various legal cases of the Group's companies, which are not expected to create material additional liabilities.
