ΝOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The parent company of the MOTOR OIL Group (the Group) is the entity under the trade name "Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A." (the Company), which is registered in Greece as a public company (Societe Anonyme) according to the provisions of CL 2190/1920, with headquarters in Maroussi of Attica, 12Α Irodou Attikou street, Athens 151 24. The Group operates in the oil sector with its main activities being oil refining and oil products trading.

Major shareholders of the Company are "Petroventure Holdings Ltd" and "Petroshares Ltd", holding 51% and 10.5% of Company shares respectively. It is noted that on 23 March 2006 "Petroshares ltd" sold 5.9% of its shares through an accelerated book building process to international and domestic institutional investors.

These financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Foreign operations do not exist.

As at December 31st 2006 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 1,411 and 1,197 persons respectively. (31/12/2005: Group: 1,369 persons, Company: 1,157 persons)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which are effective at the date of preparing these financial statements as issued by the IASB and adopted by the European Union (EU). The Group is not affected by the sections not adopted by the EU which relate to hedging of deposit portfolios as stated in IAS 39.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

Νew and revised standards and interpretations

Certain new standards, interpretations and revisions to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for financial years beginning on or after May 1, 2006. Management's estimation of the impact and adoption of these are as follows:

IFRS 7, "Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and a complementary amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements" Capital Disclosures (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2007) IFRS 7 provides for further disclosures in relation to financial instruments in order to improve the information about the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information for exposure to risks arising from financial instruments such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (sensitivity analysis to market risk). The amendment to IAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level and the way an entity's manages its capital. The Group will apply IFRS 7 and the amendment to IAS 1 for the year commencing 1.1.2007 and will present the additional disclosures.

IFRS 8, "Operating Segments" (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 "Segment Reporting" and adopts a management approach to segment reporting. The information reported would be that which management uses internally for evaluating the performance of operating segments of a group. This Standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of this new standard and will apply it when necessary as well as the Group estimates that there will be no material changes from the corresponding current information.

IFRIC 7, Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 March 2006) IFRIC 7 requires entities to apply IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies in the reporting period in which an entity first identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional currency, as if the economy had always been hyperinflationary. IFRIC 7 is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 8, Scope of IFRS 2 "Share-based payments" (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 May 2006). IFRIC 8 clarifies that IFRS 2 will apply to any arrangement when equity instruments are granted or liabilities (based on the value of an entity's equity instruments) are incurred by an entity, when the identifiable consideration appears to be less that the fair value of the instruments given. IFRIC 8 is not relevant to the Group's operations as there are no share based payments.

IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 June 2006) IFRIC 9 requires an entity to assess whether a contract contains an embedded derivative at the date an entity first becomes a party to the contract and prohibits reassessment unless there is a change to the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows. IFRIC 9 is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 Νovember 2006). IFRIC 10 prohibits the reversal of impairment losses recognised in the interim financial statements in relation to available for sale equity investments, unquoted equity instruments carried at cost and goodwill. This Interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU however the Group will apply IFRIC 10 from 1.1.2007 and it is not expected to have any financial impact on the financial statements.

IFRIC 11, IFRS 2-Group and Treasury Share Transactions (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 March 2007) This Interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity's equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by an entity even if the entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments from another party, or the shareholders of the entity provide the equity instruments needed. The Interpretation also extends to the way in which subsidiaries, in their separate financial statements, account for schemes when their employees receive rights to equity instruments of the parent company. This Interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU and is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2008). IFRIC 12 provides for an approach to account for contractual arrangements arising from entities providing public services. IFRIC 12 has not yet been endorsed by the EU and is not relevant to the Group's operations as the Group is not involved in the provision of public services.

The principal accounting policies adopted which are consistent with those of the prior year are set out below:

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) at the end of each respective period. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

On acquisition, the assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired (i.e. discount on acquisition) is credited to profit and loss in the period of acquisition.

The accounting policies of the subsidiary used for are in line with those used by the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Investments in Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence, but not control or joint control, through participation in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting unless these investments are classified as available for sale. Investments in associates are carried in the balance sheet at cost as adjusted by post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of the associates in excess of the Group's interest in those associates are not recognized.

Profits or losses arising on transactions among associates and companies included in the consolidated accounts are eliminated to the extent of the Group ´s share in the associates. Losses may be an indication of impairment of the asset, in which case a relevant provision is accounted for.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated in the Companies stand alone Balance Sheets at cost.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or jointly controlled entity recognized at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and sales related taxes.

Sales of goods are recognized when goods are delivered and ownership has passed.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

AVIN OIL S.A., a subsidiary of Motor Oil (Hellas), leases under long-term operating leases (approx. 10 years), immovable property for use as gas stations, which in turn are subleased to physical/legal persons for a corresponding period for the operation of fuel and lubricants stations under the "Avin" trademark.

The Group as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group's general policy on borrowing costs (see below).

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the period.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Government Grants

Government grants towards staff re-training costs are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs and are deducted from the related expense.

Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are treated as deferred income and released to profit and loss over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.

Retirement Benefit Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement plans are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the Group's obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Past service cost is recognized immediately in the profit or loss to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.

Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax payable and deferred tax, reduced by any discount obtained for paying previous year taxes in one lump sum, plus any additional tax from the prior years tax audit.

The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognized on differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the balance sheet at their cost amounts less any subsequent accumulated depreciation.

Properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment loss.

Fixed assets under finance leases are depreciated over the same useful lives as the Group owned fixed assets.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets, other than land and properties under construction, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases:

Fixed Assets category Useful lives (yrs)
Land Indefinite
Buildings 40
Plant & machinery 7-30
Transportation equipment 15-20
Fixtures and equipment 4-20

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Internally-generated Intangible Assets - Research and Development Expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the Group's development is recognized only if all of the following conditions are met:

  • an asset is created that can be identified (such as software and new processes);
  • it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits; and
  • the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Internally-generated intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Other intangible assets

Other Intangible Assets include the Group's software as well as rights to operate gas stations on property leased by its subsidiary, Avin Oil and the Company's emission rights.

These assets are initially recorded at acquisition cost and then depreciated, using the straight-line method, based on expected useful lives in respect of software, and in respect of leasing/emission rights, over the period the Group entitled to the rights.

The useful life of these assets is noted bellow:

Intangible assets years
Software 3 – 8
Leasing Rights (average) 9

Emission Rights

Emission Rights are accounted under the net liability method, based on which the Company recognises a liability for emissions when the emissions are made and are in excess of the allowances allocated. Emission Rights acquired in excess of those required to cover the relevant shortages are recognized as an intangible asset at cost. Profit and/or loss arising on sale of emission rights is recognized in the Income Statement.

Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds

The Company is a member of ΙOPC Fund (International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund) an international organisation for the protection of the environment from oil pollution. The Company is obliged to pay contributions to this organisation in case of a relevant accident. These liabilities are accounted for according to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" while any refund is accounted for upon receipt.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprise direct materials and where applicable, direct labor costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Group's balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are interest free and are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits with original maturity of 3 months or less.

Available for sale investments

Investments in unlisted equity shares are classified as available for sale and are stated at cost as their fare value cannot be reliably estimated.

Bank borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded according to the amounts received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accrual basis to the profit and loss account using effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.

Trade payables

Trade payables are interest free and are stated at their nominal value.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the Group management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

Provisions for restructuring costs, if any, are recognized only when the entity has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and have announced details of plan to the involved parties.

Main sources of uncertainty in accounting estimations.

The preparation of the financial statements presumes that various estimations and assumptions are made by the Group's management which possibly affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the required disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities as well as the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The use of adequate information and the subjective judgment used are basic for the estimates made for the valuation of assets, liabilities derived from employees benefit plans, impairment of receivables, unaudited tax years and pending legal cases. The estimations are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ than the above estimations. The major sources of uncertainty in accounting estimations by the Group's management, concern mainly the legal cases and the financial periods not audited by the tax authorities, as described in detail in note 30.

Other sources of uncertainty relate to the assumptions made by the management regarding the employees benefit plans such as payroll increase, remaining years to retiring, inflation rates etc and other sources of uncertainty is the estimation for the fixed assets useful life. The above estimations and assumptions are based to the up todate experience of the management and are re-evaluated so as to be updated to the current market conditions.

3. REVENUE

An analysis of the revenue, is as follows:

The Group operates a partially funded defined benefit plan for qualifying employees who work for Motor Oil and its subsidiary Avin Oil. Under the plan, the employees are entitled to retirement benefits which are dependent on each employee's final salary upon attainment of retirement age (on average between 55 and 58) and the years of service with the Group. In addition the Company is obligated to pay retirement compensation to its employees in accordance with law 2112/12, based on the above mentioned rights and retirement age limits. No other post-retirement benefits are provided.

The most recent actuarial valuations of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation as well as of the obligation for retirement compensation to personnel were carried out at 31 December 2006 by PHOENIX METROLIFE company. The present value of the defined benefit obligations, and the related current service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

35. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

a. Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 21, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 24, 25, 27 and 28 respectively. The Group's management reviews the capital structure on a frequent basis. As a part of this review, management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group's intention is to balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

35. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS (continued)

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Treasury function reports on a frequent basis to the Group's management that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

c. Market risk

The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (d) below), interest rates (see (e) below) and to the volatility of the oil prices. The Company addresses the fluctuation of oil prices by monitoring minimum inventory levels. There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

d. Foreign currency risk

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Company minimises foreign currency risks through natural hedges, mostly by monitoring purchases and sales as well as assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to succeed borrowings with very competitive interest rates and terms. Because of this operating expenses and cash flows from financing activities are not affected materially from interest rates fluctuations.

f. Credit risk

The Group's credit risk is primary attributable to its trade and other receivable as the Group´s cash equivalents are deposited with well known banks.

The Group's trade receivables are concentrated to a significant degree, as the parent company has a limited number of customers who comprise a large percentage of the trade receivable balance who are, mostly, internationally reputed oil companies and consequently credit risk is minimized. The Group companies have contracts for transactions with their clients, where the product prices are determined according to the corresponding current prices in the international oil market during the period of transactions. In addition the parent company as a policy, receives letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables. As far as receivables by "Avin Oil" these are spread in a wide number of customers and in this way there is no material concentration and material credit risk.

35. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS (continued)

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and the bank loan facilities granted. In order to address such risks the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and secures available bank loans facilities.

36. PRIOR YEAR RESTATEMENTS

Last year cash flow statement accounts of "New bank loans raised" and "Repayments of borrowings" were equally restated for the Group and the Company by the amount of € 2,336,254 thousand and € 2,196,828 thousand respectively. These restatements were done in order for these accounts to be comparable with the current year's ones that represent the net receipts and repayments of loans.

TRANSLATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of MOTOR OIL HELLAS CORINTH REFINERIES S.A

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Motor Oil Hellas Corinth Refineries S.A. ("The Company") and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("The Group"), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2006, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as these were adopted by the European Union. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Greek Auditing Standards which are harmonised with the International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and that of the Group as of December 31, 2006, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as these were adopted by the European Union.

Without qualifying our report we draw your attentions to note 30 to the financial statements which refers to the tax position of the Company and the Group and especially the unaudited tax years. The liability, if any, that may result from such audits cannot be estimated with reasonable accuracy.
