Group turnover decreased by € 942,999 thousand or 34.17% compared to the respective six month period of 2008 a development accounted for by the notable drop of the sales prices of petroleum products (50% approximately) which was partly offset by the sales volume increase and the strengthening of the US Dollar (average parity) in relation to the Euro (15% approximately). The analysis reaffirms the exporting profile of the Group (international sales accounted for 43.07% of turnover compared to 41.72% in the same period of 2008) and the key contribution of refining activity (amounted to 70.5% of turnover, same percentage as in H1 2008).

Company turnover decreased by € 952,183 thousand or 37.46% compared to the respective six month period of 2008 a development attributed to the impact of the same parameters already mentioned which influenced the development of Group turnover.

The analysis of Company sales data reaffirms the exporting profile of the Refinery (international sales accounted for 49.12% of turnover compared to 44.32% in the same period of 2008) and the key contribution of refining activity (amounted to 80.56% of turnover compared to 76.55% in H1 2008).

The total quantity of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company during the first six month period of 2009 compared to the respective quantities of the first six month period of 2008 is analysed hereunder:

Τons Τons
For the six month period ended
30 June 2009 30 June 2008
Crude oil 2,534,911 2,544,775
Fuel Oil –

Gas Oil 561,969 529,414
Others 103,737 22,044
Total 4,017,836 3,757,983

It is noted that due to the scheduled maintenance shutdown works in the units of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking and the Hydrocracker Complex, effected in June 2008, the volume of Fuel Oil processed in H1 2008 was lower than the volume processed in H1 2009.

2. Cost of Sales (before depreciation) - Gross Profit

Gross Profit for the Group in the six month period of 2009 amounted to € 176,750 thousand compared to € 196,945 thousand in the first six month period of 2008, which denotes a 10.25% decrease, while Gross Profit for the Company amounted to € 149,394 thousand compared to € 170,918 thousand, which denotes a 12.59% decrease.

The percentage decrease of Gross Profit was lower than the percentage decrease of Turnover since the percentage drop of the average prices of crude (in US Dollars per barrel) was greater than the percentage drop of the average prices of petroleum products (52.2% compared to 50.7% ).

The development of the Gross Profit Margin of the Company in USD/MT for the first six month period of 2009 and 2008 is shown below:

For the six month period ended
Gross Profit Margin (USD/ΜΤ) 30 June 2009 30 June 2008
Company Blended Profit Margin 57.1 77.3

3. Administrative and Selling Expenses (before deprec. & amortiz.) – Other Operating Income

Group operating expenses (Administrative and Selling) increased by € 2,999 thousand or 7.2% while Company operating expenses increased by € 2,070 thousand or 10.78%.

Other Operating Income relates mainly to the net difference of foreign exchange gains and losses which evolve from the receivables and payables of the Group and of the Company. Given the 1.54% devaluation of the US Dollar in relation to the Euro in H1 2009, compared to a 6.62% devaluation in the respective period of 2008, the foreign exchange gains were lower by Euro 12,354 thousand or 36.33% for the Group and by Euro 11,895 thousand or 37.83% for the Company.

4. Earning before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

Subsequent to the above developments, Group EBITDA in H1 2009 amounted to Euro 153,546 thousand compared to Euro 189,094 thousand in H1 2008 while Company EBITDA amounted to Euro 147,682 thousand compared to Euro 183,171 thousand.

5. Income from Investments – Financial Costs

In H1 2009 a net financial income of Euro 9,579 thousand was generated for the Group compared to net financial expenses of Euro 17,509 thousand in H1 2008. An analysis of this variation is offered in the following table:

For the six month period ended Variation
Amounts in Euro 000s 30 June 2009 30 June 2008 Amount %
Gain recognized on deemed disposal of
interest in former subsidiary
(16,846) 0 (16,846) -

Total Finance
Cost -
(income)/expenses
(9,579) 17,509 (27,088) (154.71%)

We hereby note that the "Gain recognized on deemed disposal of interest in former subsidiary" amounting to Euro 16.8 million arose from the loss of control in the 100% subsidiary "KORINTHOS POWER S.A.". Furthermore, an amount of Euro 2.4 million is included in "Investment Income / share of profit of associates" and relates to the gain from bargain purchase of additional shareholding percentage in "OLYMPIC FUEL COMPANY S.A.". The Group's shareholding participation to this company amounts now 92.06%.

Respectively for the Company the net finance costs (expenses) decreased by Euro 7,365 thousand. An analysis of this variance is offered in the following table:

For the six month period ended Variation
Amounts in Euro 000s 30 June 2009 30 June 2008 Amount %
Investment income (156) (196) 40 (20.41%)
Interest income (254) (884) 630 (71.27%)
Interest expense

Total Finance
cost (income)/expense
7,263 14,628 (7,365) (50.35%)

The decrease in interest expenses of the Group and the Company is attributed to the fall of the prices of crude, resulting to lower working capital requirements, in conjunction with the lower LIBOR and EURIBOR.

The "Investment Income" relates to the net amount of dividend received from the year 2008 earnings of the "Athens Airport Fuel Pipeline Company S.A.".

6. Earnings before Tax – Earnings after Tax

The Earnings before Tax (EBT) for the Group in H1 2009 amounted to Euro 135,227 compared to Euro 145,703 thousand in H1 2008 and for the Company to Euro 115,259 thousand compared to Euro 144,947 thousand.

The Earnings after Tax (EAT) for the Group in H1 2009 amounted to Euro 105,201 thousand compared to Euro 109,333 thousand in H1 2008 and for the Company to Euro 86,154 thousand compared to Euro 108,707 thousand.

ΙΙ. PROSPECTS

The operations of the oil refining and marketing companies, as well as their profitability, depend upon a series of exogenous parameters and mainly the prices of crude, the refining margins, the Euro / US Dollar parity and the development of interest rates.

Nevertheless, through its strategy of "continuous investments" the Group aims to exploit its organic growth potential and be well placed at the beginning of the cycle in order to deliver solid refining margins at the top end of the sector.

Furthermore, within 2009 the Group set the foundations for further development and diversification of its operations as these are described in summarised form in the section under the caption "significant events".

Subsequently to the above, and given that the highly complex and technologically advanced parent company Refinery facilitates the adjustment of the production mix to the market needs as these arise, its is anticipated that in terms of sales volume the operations of the Group will develop adequately during H2 2009 while no estimate can be offered whatsoever as regards the refining margins (a key determinant influencing the level of profitability), which, mainly due to economic uncertainty, may demonstrate high volatility.

ΙΙΙ. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

During the first half of 2009 the Company capital expenditure amounted to Euro 88.3 million the bulk of which is analysed as follows: a) an amount of Euro 66 million was absorbed by the New Crude Distillation Unit with a capacity of 60,000 barrels per day. The project entered its construction phase at the end of 2008. b) an amount of approximately Euro 10 million was spent on several projects aiming to increase the storage capacity of the Refinery. In more detail, the storage capacity increase project is mainly comprised of the construction of tanks. c) an amount of Euro 1.6 million concerned the upgrade of the lube production complex.

From the abovementioned analysis it is concluded that the Company capital expenditure for the full fiscal year 2009 will exceed the initial estimate for Euro 100 million mainly due to the acceleration of the rate of execution of the construction works of the new CDU (following its addition it is estimated that the annual capacity of the Refinery will increase by approximately 25% – to MT 9 million from MT 7.2 million currently) in order to secure the commencement of its operation at the earliest possible in 2010.

IV. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

During H1 2009 the Group proceeded with two important business undertakings.

In April 2009, and following the Joint Venture Agreement signed in November 2008 with "MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A.", "ARGYRITIS LAND S.A." (100% subsidiary of "MYTILINEOS HOLDINGS S.A.") acquired, through a cash share capital increase, a 65% shareholding percentage in "KORINTHOS POWER S.A." for an amount of Euro 59.4 million. The Company remains shareholder of "KORINTHOS POWER S.A." with a shareholding percentage of 35%.

Furthermore, KORINTHOS POWER awarded to the company METKA S.A. of the MYTILINEOS Group the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract of a total cost of Euro 285 million for the construction of a combined cycle power production plant fuelled with natural gas which will be located within the facilities of MOTOR OIL at Agii Theodori of Korinthos. The construction of the plant is expected to be completed within 2011.

In May 2009, and following the relevant approval by the Governmental Privatization Committee in April of the same year, the transaction for the purchase of 64.06% of the share capital of "OLYMPIC FUEL COMPANY (OFC) S.A." by MOTOR OIL Group was concluded at a cost of € 6.6 mil. As a result, the participation of the Group in the share capital of OFC has become 92.06% with the parent company MOTOR OIL and its subsidiary AVIN OIL A.V.E.N.E.P. owning 46.03% each.

In July 2009, the Company participated in the establishment of "NUR-MOH HELIOTHERMAL S.A." with a 50% shareholding percentage at a cost of Euro 200 thousand. The above mentioned company's activities will be the exploitation and operation of heliothermal stations.

Apart from the above, no events have occurred that could have a material impact on the Group's and the Company's financial structure or operations up to the date of writing the present report.

V. 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, un-audited tax years and pending legal cases. The estimations are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ from the above estimations. The major sources of uncertainty in accounting estimations by the Group's management, concern mainly the legal cases and the financial years not audited by the tax authorities, as described in detail in note 20 of the financial statements,

Other sources of uncertainty relate to the assumptions made by the management regarding the employee benefit plans such as payroll increase, remaining years to retiring, inflation rates etc. Another source of uncertainty regards the estimation for the fixed assets useful life. The above estimates and assumptions are based on the up to date experience of the management and are reevaluated so as to reflect the prevailing market conditions.

VΙ. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

a. Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that Group companies will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings. The Group's management monitors the capital structure on a frequent basis. As a part of this monitoring, the management reviews 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.

Gearing Ratio

The Group's management reviews the capital structure on a frequent basis. As part of this review, the cost of capital is calculated and the risks associated with each class of capital are assessed.

The gearing ratio as of 30/6/2009 and 31/12/2008 was as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
In 000´s Euros 30/06/2009 31/12/2008 30/06/2009 31/12/2008
Bank loans 654,563 670,790 528,816 559,250
Cash and cash equivalents (57,464) (9,208) (43,068) (7,982)

Bank Borrowings
597,099 661,582 485,748 551,268
Shareholders' Equity 371,589 309,586 356,201 314,360
Net Bank Debt /
Shareholders' Equity
1.61 2.14 1.36 1.75

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury division 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

Due to the nature of its activities the Group is exposed 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 oil prices mainly due to the obligation to maintain certain level of inventories. The Company in order to avoid significant fluctuations in the inventories valuation is trying, as a policy, to keep the inventories at the lowest possible levels. Furthermore, any change in the pertaining refinery margin, denominated in USD, affects the Company's gross margin. 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

Due to the use of the international Platt's prices in USD for oil purchases/sales, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations may arise for the Company's profit margins. The Company minimises foreign currency risks through physical hedging, mostly by monitoring assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.

In addition, part of the Company's liabilities is expressed in CHF which is considered as not having a material risk since the amount is not material.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to have borrowings with very competitive interest rates and terms. Hence, the operating expenses and cash flows from financing activities are not materially affected by interest rate fluctuations.

f. Credit risk

The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables.

The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well known oil companies. None of them accounted for more than 10% of Group turnover for the period 1/1/2009 – 30/6/2009. Consequently the credit risk is very limited. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices.

In addition the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 30/06/2009 amounted to € 26,743 thousand, As far as receivables of "Avin Oil S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide base of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is very limited.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and the bank loan facilities granted, used or unused, In order to address such risks, the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and cash equivalents and ensures available bank loans facilities in conjunction with the fact that cash and cash equivalents are deposited in well known banks.

VII. QUALITY – ENVIRONMENT- HEALTH & SAFETY

We are committed to our core goal of satisfying society's energy needs while contributing to economic and community prosperity, respecting the principles of Sustainable Development and minimizing the impact on the environment resulting from our business operations. This commitment is expressed in our policy for Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental Protection.

The Company Quality Management System was certified initially in 1993 according to the ISO 9002 standard and the system reformation commenced in 2002 in order to develop a new one meeting the standards of the new ISO 9001:2000 which was certified by Bureau Veritas in January 2003. In March 2006 the system was recertified with validity until March 2009 when its recertification was renewed with validity until 2012.

The commitment of the management of the Company and its personnel to the continuous development of quality is universal. Within this framework, the Refinery Chemical Laboratory was accredited with the ISO / IEC 17025 by the National Accreditation System (ESYD) in September 2006. This accreditation has validity until September 2010.

The Company Environmental Management System was initially certified compliant with the ISO 14001:1996 standard in the year 2000 for all refinery operations. Since 2004, the Company has been compliant with the more strict ISO 14001:2004 standard certified by Bureau Veritas and this system was recertified in March 2007 with validity until 2010. Our environmental policy includes the firm commitment to constant improvement and dissemination of information relating to the impact of our activities on the environment. Within the framework of this commitment, and beyond our legal obligations, we decided to adopt and implement, on a voluntary basis, the non-mandatory Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) specified in EU directive 761/2001.

We recently issued our third in succession annual Environmental Statement, according to the EMAS (Eco-Management & Audit Scheme) regulation, on a voluntary basis. Furthermore, in May 2008 the Company Refinery was connected with the Natural Gas National Grid and in the same year the operation of a new low energy consumption unit of sea water desalination took place, thus eliminating any need to import fresh water to cater for the refinery requirements.

It is worth noting that, in the oil refining and marketing sector, the triple combination of ISO 14001:2004 and EMAS certification for the environment and ISO 9001:2000 certification for quality, is particularly important and provides multiple advantages. Such certification is rarely encountered in European refineries of a similar complexity level as the MOTOR OIL refinery,

MOTOR OIL is also committed to incorporate the Health & Safety requirements in its planning, decision making and Refinery operation always considering all stakeholders.

Within the context of this commitment, the Health & Safety Management of the Refinery was revised thoroughly and was certified by Bureau Veritas according to the international standard OHSAS 18001:2007 in December 2008. This certification has a three year validity.

(the Company), which is registered in Greece as a public company (Societe Anonyme) according to the provisions of Company Law 2190/1920, with headquarters in Maroussi of Attica, 12Α Irodou Attikou street, Athens 151 24.

Major shareholders of the Company are "Petroventure Holdings Limited" and "Petroshares Limited", holding 51% and 10.5% of Company shares respectively.

2. Basis of Preparation, Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim financial reporting" and should be read in combination with the 2008 annual financial statements.

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

The accounting policies adopted in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 except for the following:

IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). IFRS 8 is a disclosure Standard that requires the redesignation of the Group's reportable segments (see notes 3 & 4), but has had no impact on the reported results or financial position of the Group.

IAS 1 (revised 2007) "Presentation of Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The revised Standard has introduced a number of terminology changes (including revised titles for the condensed financial statements) and has resulted in a number of changes in presentation and disclosure. The revised Standard has had no material impact on the reported results or financial position of the Group.

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. According to this IFRIC the entities should not account for a fixed asset but rather for a financial asset and/or an intangible asset. IFRIC 12 has been endorsed by the EU on 25 March 2009 and is relevant to the Group's operations in the newly acquired subsidiary "Olympic Fuel Company S.A.".

IFRS 3 (revised 2008) "Business Combinations" (effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The revised IFRS 3 introduces a series of changes in the accounting treatment of business combinations that will affect the amount of recognized goodwill, the results of the current period where the acquisition took place and future results. These changes include expenses related to the acquisition and the recognition of future changes in the fair value of the contingent price. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of this new standard and will apply it when necessary.

IAS 27 (revised 2008) "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The revised IAS 27 requires transactions that lead to changes in investing shares in subsidiaries to be accounted for in the net equity section and amends the accounting treatment in the case of losses in a subsidiary as well as on the loss of control in a subsidiary. These changes may affect future acquisitions and transactions with non-controlling interests' holders. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of this new standard and will apply it when necessary.

IAS 28 (2008) "Investments in Associates" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The principle adopted in IAS 27 (2008) that a change in accounting basis is recognized as a disposal and re-acquisition at fair value is extended by consequential amendments to IAS 28 such that, on the loss of significant influence, the investor measures at fair value any investment retained in the former associate. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of this new standard and does not expect to have a material impact to the financial statements to be reported.

3. Operating Segments

The Group has adopted IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" effective as of 1 January 2009. IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The adoption of IFRS 8 has had no material impact on the reported segments already disclosed since the Group's basic activities are oil refining and oil product trading as well as the sale of related services due to the newly acquired subsidiary "Olympic Fuel Company S.A.".

All of the Group's activities take place in Greece, given that all Group Companies included in the consolidation, have their headquarters in Greece and no branches abroad.

All operational segments fall under one of three distinct activity categories: Refinery's Activities, Sales to Gas Stations and Services.

Segment information is presented in the following table:

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

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

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed stand alone and consolidated statements of financial position of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2009 and the related condensed stand alone and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and selective explanatory notes which comprise the interim condensed financial information, which represents an integral part of the six month financial report as provided by Law 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and applicable to interim financial reporting ("IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

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

Report on Other Legal Requirements

Based on our review we noted that the content of the six month financial report as provided by article 5 of Law 3556/2007 is consistent with the accompanying interim condensed financial information.
