In the first half of 2018 the turnover of the Group increased by an amount of Euro 677 million or 18.08% compared to the corresponding period of 2017. The increase of the consolidated turnover is accounted for by the increase of the average prices of petroleum products (denominated in US Dollars) by approximately 32% and the increase of the sales volume by 4.14% (from ΜΤ 7,193,786 to ΜΤ 7,491,875) while part of the increase was offset by the weakening of the USD against the EURO (first half 2018 average parity EURO/USD = 1.21 compared to 1.08 in the first half of 2017) by approximately 12%.

The Group had revenues from services (storage fees) rendered by "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A." both in the first half of 2018 and the first half of 2017.

The breakdown of the consolidated sales volume confirms the exporting profile of the Group given that export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 78.00% of the aggregate sales volume in the first six months of 2018 compared to 79.78% in the first six months of 2017 as well as the high contribution of refining activities (85.97% of the aggregate sales volume in the first half of 2018 compared to 87.92% in the first half of 2017).

The noted in the first half of 2018 decrease of Interest Expenses & bank charges, both at consolidated and at parent company level, is attributed to: a) the refinancing of € 350 mil. Senior Notes due 2019 at a coupon of 5.125% per annum with new Senior Notes due 2022 at a coupon of 3.250% per annum which took place in April 2017 (Issuer of the notes: MOTOR OIL FINANCE PLC.) b) the decrease of bank loans (Group borrowings: Euro 924.6 mil. on 30.06.2018 compared to Euro 1,138.6 mil. on 30.06.2017 – Company: Euro 586,6 mil. on 30.06.2018 compared to Euro 806.5 mil. on 30.06.2017) and c) the improvement of the relevant terms which the Group is in a position to attain.

ΙΙ. PROSPECTS

The operations as well as the profitability of the companies engaging in the sector of "oil refining and marketing of petroleum products" are influenced by a series of external parameters and mainly the prices of crude oil, the refining margins, the EURO/US Dollar parity and the development of the interest rates (reference to the latter two parameters is made in the section "Management of Financial Risks").

During the first half of 2018 the price of Brent traded within the 60-80 USD/barrel range (max price 80.29 USD/barrel – min price 61.52 USD/barrel – average price 70.61 USD/barrel). In the period after June 30th (closing price 77.90 USD/barrel) the price of Brent has been trading within the narrower range of 70-80 USD/barrel (max price 77.67 USD/barrel – min price 68.87 USD/barrel – average price 73.18 USD/barrel) and at least in the short term no noticeable volatility is anticipated because of the seemingly sufficient supply of crude oil at international level.

It is hereby noted that, as a representative of the energy sector, the Company is treated with priority by the Banking Transactions Approval Committee of the Greek Ministry of Economy regarding the purchase of crude oil and of raw materials from abroad so as to secure the sufficiency of the Country with reference to petroleum products. Moreover, through its exports which historically constitute the majority of its sales, the Company is in a position to finance the purchases of crude oil further securing the uninterrupted supply of its Refinery with raw material, without being affected by the capital controls imposed in Greece.

For the second half of 2018 the operating results of the Company are expected satisfactory considering the capability of the Refinery to deliver refining margins at the top end of the sector, combined with the continuation of the level of activities of the Company at a high level and the de-escalation of its financial costs (i.e. interest expenses).

ΙΙΙ. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

In the first six months of 2018 the Company carried out investments of Euro 30.6 million the greater part of which (Euro 29.8 million) concerned projects of the Refinery of MOTOR OIL as follows:

a) An amount of Euro 14.8 million was spent on regular maintenance at the existing Refinery units and on a series of miscellaneous small scale projects relating to the improvement of health and safety conditions of the Refinery, the improvement of its environmental terms as well as the attainment of high level of operability and flexibility of production.

b) An amount of Euro 15 million was spent on the so-called major investment projects the most notable ones being: the processing capacity increase of the Lubricants Complex, the construction of new storage tanks at the area freed as a result of placing the overhead Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE) high voltage lines underground, the enhancement of the energy efficiency of the Refinery

(Power Plant upgrade and GT-3 major field inspection), and the improvement of the infrastructure of the Refinery (installation of a new multi buoy mooring system in the proximity of the existing piers in order to enhance the flexibility of the uploading of crude oil vessels for the Refinery supply).

It must be noted that the major investment projects of the Company also include the undertaking for the connection of its Refinery with the HELLENIC RAILWAYS ORGANIZATION (OSE) railway network (more information is available in the section "Significant Events"). The amount spent on the OSE project during H1 2018 was Euro 2.3 million.

Furthermore, it must be noted that the amount of Euro 12.6 million for the purchase of an 85,645 square meter (approximately 21 acres) plot of land located adjacently to the Refinery area (please see section "Significant Events") will be included in the capital expenditure of the 3rd quarter of 2018.

Subsequent to the above, the Company's capital expenditure for the fiscal 2018 might exceed the initial estimate of Euro 70 million.

IV. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

The most important events for the Company and the Group during the first half of 2018 until the time of the writing of the present half year financial report are presented hereunder:

On May 14, 2018 the 90,000 ordinary registered dematerialized senior notes issued by CORAL A.E. (a wholly owned subsidiary of MOTOR OIL) commenced trading in the Fixed Income category of the Organized Market of the Athens Exchange. More specifically, CORAL A.E. raised the amount of Euro 90 million through the public offering of 90,000 senior notes of nominal value Euro 1,000 each due 2023 at a fixed interest rate of 3% per annum. The net proceeds of the offering were used by CORAL A.E. for the repayment of part of an existing bond loan of Euro 120 million terminating on 28 September 2019 thus securing the extension of the maturity profile of the medium term loans of the company and the uninterrupted financing of its working capital needs.

On May 29, 2018 MOTOR OIL entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the HELLENIC RAILWAYS ORGANIZATION (OSE) regarding an investment project concerning the modernization of the part of the approximately 9.5 km long existing railway line connecting the Company's Agioi Theodoroi Refinery with the Isthmos station at Korinthos. More specifically, the Company has undertaken the task to turn the currently metric width railway line into a regular width railway line in accordance with the international railway standards. The project (estimated capital expenditure Euro 13 million) will be effected by MOTOR OIL under the technical supervision of OSE staff. Upon completion of the project, the railway line will belong to OSE and form part of the National Railway Infrastructure.

The modernization of the railway line is expected to facilitate the transportation of petroleum products to Northern Greece, Balkan countries and Central Europe through the Rail Freight Corridor 7 of which OSE is a member.

On June 21, 2018 MOTOR OIL entered into a share sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of a 90% stake of the company NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A. (registered address: Maroussi, GREECE). The selling shareholder will be the Cyprus based company NRG GLOBAL ENERGY TRADING HOUSE LTD which is the sole shareholder of NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A. Following the completion of the transaction the stake of NRG GLOBAL ENERGY TRADING HOUSE LTD in NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A. will be reduced to 10%.

NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A. commenced its activities in 2012 in the energy sector as electrical energy supplier while its current domestic market share is above 1%. The portfolio of NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A. includes large business groups, small and medium sized enterprises, as well as household customers.

The purchase of the above mentioned stake in NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A. (the transaction is subject to the approval by the competent authorities) will enable MOTOR OIL to extend its activities by entering the market of electrical energy supply.

On June 26, 2018 the Ordinary Resolution of the Shareholders of the company MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED decided a share capital increase in cash issuing additional 2,000 ordinary shares of nominal value Euro 1 each at a subscription price of Euro 1,750 each. From the share capital increase referred to above, an amount of Euro 2,000 was booked for the payment of the nominal value of the shares and the remaining amount of Euro 3,498,000 was booked as share premium. The payment of the Euro 2,275,000 amount corresponding to the participation of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. in the above share capital increase was effected on 12th July 2018.

Following the corporate action referred above, the share capital of MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED is Euro 14,000 divided into 14,000 ordinary shares of nominal value Euro 1 each. MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. owns 65% of the shares of MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED and the total amount it has injected through consecutive share capital increases since June 2016 amounts to Euro 12,675,000. MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED is based in Cyprus and its corporate objective is the exploration and production of potential new oil resources (upstream).

In July 2018 MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. proceeded with the purchase of an 85,645 square meter (approximately 21 acres) plot of land for the amount of Euro 12.6 million. This plot of land is located adjacently to the Refinery premises thus securing sufficiency of space for infrastructure enhancement projects, logistics optimization as well as expansion prospects.

There are no events that could have a material impact on the Group's and the Company's financial structure or operations that have occurred since 1/7/2018 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.

V. MAIN SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements presumes that various estimates 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 estimates are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ from the above estimates. The major sources of uncertainty in accounting estimates 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 19 of the financial statements.

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

VΙ. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

The Group's management has assessed the impacts on the management of financial risks that may arise due to the challenges of the general business environment in Greece. In general, as it is further discussed in the management of each financial risk below, the management of the Group does not consider that any negative developments in the Greek economy in connection with the capital controls of the Greek banks may materially affect the normal course of business of the Group and the Company.

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 borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, 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. The Group through its 100% subsidiary "Motor Oil Finance plc" that is based in London, has already issued, since 2014, bond loans through the offering of Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and also maintains access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives. A possible exit of Great Britain from EU (Brexit) is not expected to have any impact in this subsidiary or in the Group.

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 30/6/2018 and 31/12/2017 was as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
(In 000's Euros) 30/06/2018 31/12/2017 30/06/2018 31/12/2017
Bank loans 924,617 994,065 586,616 667,375
Cash and cash equivalents (758,368) (714,026) (678,057) (638,815)
Net debt 166,249 280,039 (91,441) 28,560
Equity 1,043,605 1,018,883 908,138 881,837
Net debt to equity ratio 0.16 0.27 (0.10) 0.03

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury department 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 department 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 these risks. Considering the conditions in the oil refining and trading sector, as well as the negative economic environment in general, we consider the course of the Group and the Company as satisfactory. The Group also through its subsidiaries in the Middle East, Great Britain, Cyprus and the Balkans, aims to exploit its endeavors at international level and to further strengthen its already solid exporting orientation. Moreover, the instability in the domestic market, in connection with the capital controls, is not expected to create problems to the normal course

of business of the Company, which due to its strong exporting orientation generates adequate cash flows to cover the necessary imports of crude oil for the refinery activities. Furthermore, crude oil prices are determined in the international markets and are not affected so by any domestic market turbulences.

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.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to have borrowings with 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. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. 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 30/6/2018 amounted to Euro 27.3 million. As far as receivables of the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL A.E.", "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." and "L.P.C. S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide range of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is limited. The Group manages its domestic credit policy in a way to limit accordingly the credit days granted in the local market, in order to minimise any probable domestic credit risk.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and available bank loan facilities. In order to address such risks, the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and cash equivalents and ensures available bank loans facilities, maintaining also increased cash balances. Moreover, the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.

As at today the Company has available total credit facilities of approximately € 1 billion of which € 587 million have been withdrawn and total available bank Letter of Credit facilities up to approximately € 400 million.

Going Concern

The Group's management considers that the Company and the Group have adequate resources that ensure the smooth continuance of the business of the Company and the Group as a "Going Concern" in the foreseeable future.

VII. QUALITY – ENVIRONMENT- HEALTH & SAFETY

The commitment of the Group to the fulfillment of its main goal, which involves its engagement in the wider energy sector catering for the energy needs of society while contributing to the economic and community prosperity, respecting the principles of Sustainable Development and minimizing the impact on the environment resulting from its operations, is reflected on its policy for Quality, Environmental Protection and Health & Safety.

The Quality Management System of the Company was certified initially in 1993 according to the ISO 9002 standard while the reformation of the system commenced in 2002 aiming at the development of a new one meeting the standards of the (then) new ISO 9001:2000 which was certified by Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI) in January 2003. In March 2006 the system was recertified with validity until March 2009 when it was certified according to the new version of the standard ISO 9001:2008 and validity until February 2012 when its certification was renewed with validity until February 2015. In December 2014, within the context of the simultaneous evaluation of Company certifications, the ISO 9001:2008 standard was recertified with validity until December 2017.

In December 2017 the Quality Management System of the Company was certified with the currently most recent standard ISO 9001:2015 with validity until December 2020.

The commitment of the management as well as the personnel of MOTOR OIL to the continuous quality development is universal. In September 2006 the Refinery Chemical Laboratory was accredited by the National Accreditation System (ESYD) with the ISO / IEC 17025 standard initially with validity until September 2010. Since then, the validity of the accreditation was extended until September 2014 when it was extended once more until September 2018.

The Environmental Management System (EMS) of the Refinery was initially certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the ISO 14001:1996 standard in December 2000. In March 2007 the system was certified according to the more stringent standard ISO 14001:2004 and validity until January 2010. In March 2010 the system was recertified with validity until January 2013 when its certification was renewed with validity until January 2016. In December 2014, within the context of the simultaneous evaluation of Company certifications already mentioned, the Company EMS was recertified with validity until December 2017.

In December 2017 the Environment Management System of the Company was certified with the currently most recent standard ISO 14001:2015 with validity until December 2020.

Additionally, in November 2017 the Refinery Energy Management System was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (B V Cert.) according to the ISO 50001:2011 standard with validity until November 2020.

By implementing this system MOTOR OIL is committed to effectively use energy so as to preserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to abate the repercussions on climate change. Energy consumption data are utilized in a systematic way, planning changes in the operation and the equipment as a means to achieve continuous improvement of the energy performance and the relative economic indicators.

Furthermore, in July 2007, and given the firm commitment of the Company to the continuous improvement of environmental management and the dissemination of information regarding the impact of its operations on the environment, MOTOR OIL voluntarily adopted the European Regulation (ER) 761/2001 EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) and since then has been issuing an annual Environmental Statement certified by Bureau Veritas. The annual Environmental Statements for the fiscal years 2006-2009 were compiled according to the above mentioned European Regulation standard EMAS II 761/2001 while these of the fiscal years 2010-2017 according to the more recent European Regulation standard EMAS III 1221/2009. The year 2017 Environmental Statement was submitted to the MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY in May 2018 bearing the Protocol Number 31060/24.05.2018.

The annual Environmental Statements EMAS which, through appropriate indices and measurements and other nonfinancial data and indices pertaining to the refining sector, offer a thorough assessment of the environmental performance of the Refinery as well a detailed description of the Emergency Plans set out by the Company, their effectiveness displayed by the absence of environmental incidents / accidents, are available through the Company's website www.moh.gr at the particular option Environment & Society / Environment and Sustainable Development / EMAS Environmental

Statements. MOTOR OIL is registered in the European System of Eco-Management and Audit Scheme while its Refinery is registered in the Hellenic Register of EMAS Registered Organizations.

The triple combination of certifications, ISO 14001:2015 & EMAS (for the environment) and ISO 9001:2015 (for quality), is of the utmost importance and is only met in a handful of European refineries such high level of complexity similar to that of the Refinery of MOTOR OIL.

MOTOR OIL is also committed to incorporate 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 certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the international standard OHSAS 18001:2007 in December 2008. This certification initially had a three-year validity. In December 2011 the OHSAS 18001:2007 was recertified with validity until December 2014 when it was recertified with validity until December 2017.

In December 2017 the validity of the OHSAS 18001:2007 certificate of the Company was extended until December 2020.

Moreover, in November 2017 the Management System for Private Security operations of the Refinery was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (B V Cert.) according to the standard ISO 18788:2015 with validity until November 2020.

This standard sets the requirements and provides the guidelines for organizations conducting or contracting security operations. It stipulates a business and risk management framework for the effective conduct of security operations. The purpose is to improve and demonstrate consistent and predictable security operations maintaining the safety and security within a framework that aims to safeguard the respect for human rights, national and international laws and fundamental freedoms.

The above presuppose the utilisation of tactics, techniques, procedures, training and equipment in such a way so as to attain the operational as well as the risk management objectives.

Since 2002 MOTOR OIL compiles each year a Sustainability Report which describes in detail, through representative to the refining sector indices and measurements and other nonfinancial data, all activities of the Group relating to its commitment to the Environment, Health & Safety and Employees. These Sustainability Reports also provide an analysis regarding the allocation of the Social Product among selected stakeholder groups: Personnel, State, Shareholders, Banks, Suppliers (not including suppliers of crude oil, other raw materials and finished products), Society at large (donations and sponsorships) as well as expenditure for Health & Safety and the Environment, insurance premium for Company installations and premises, repairs and preventive maintenance. The Sustainability Reports are available through the Company website www.moh.gr at the particular option Environment & Society / Sustainability Reports.

Νotes to the Condensed Financial Statements

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 Company Law 2190/1920, with headquarters in Maroussi of Attica, 12Α Irodou Attikou street, 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 Limited" holding 40% and "Doson Investments Company" holding 5.9%.

These financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Amounts in these financial statements are expressed in € 000's unless otherwise indicated. Any difference up to €1,000 is due to rounding.

As at 30 June 2018 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 2,162 and 1,251 respectively (30/6/2017: Group: 2,153 persons, Company: 1,228 persons).

2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

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 2017 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 2017 except for the following: a) Changes in accounting policies due to the new impairment rules based on IFRS 9 and b) adoption of new standards, amendment to existing standards and interpretations.

a) Changes in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" on the group's financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.

Impact on Financial Statements

As a result of the changes in the entity's accounting policies, opening equity in financial statements had to be restated. As explained below, IFRS 9 was adopted without restating comparative information. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new impairment rules are therefore not reflected in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2017, but are recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 January 2018.

The following tables show the adjustments recognised for each individual line item. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included. As a result, the sub-totals and totals disclosed cannot be recalculated from the number provided.

The adjustments of the Group and the Company's accounting figures because of the adoption of new and revised IFRSs, are pictured in the following table:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Impact of adoption

A) IFRS 9 Changes

IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.

In particular, IFRS 9 provides the following for the Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets:

Classification of Financial Assets

IFRS 9 introduces a comprehensive classification model based on which the financial assets are classified into three categories:

  • Financial assets at Amortized Cost
  • Financial Assets at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVTOCI")
  • Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL")

Financial assets that give rise to cash flows, consisting only of payments of principal and interest, are classified by considering the business model for holding these instruments. Financial assets that are held in a business model with the objective to hold them until maturity and collect the contractual cash flows, are measured at amortized cost. If the business model comprises the intention to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows but expects to sell these financial assets when this is necessary (e.g. to fulfill a specific need for liquidity), then these instruments are measured at FVTOCI.

Financial assets that contain cash flows other than those of principal and interest, such as interests in money-market funds or derivatives including separated embedded derivatives, are measured at FVTPL. However, especially for equity instruments, IFRS 9 optionally allows their measurement at FVTOCI.

Measurement of Impairment of Financial Assets

IFRS 9 introduces the expected credit loss ("ECL") approach to be applied on all financial assets at Amortized Cost or at FVTOCI (with the exception of equity securities). Whereas under IAS 39, only incurred losses should be recognized as impairment of financial assets, under the ECL approach, estimation of the future credit losses should be performed, using three stages, as follow:

Stage 1: Measurement of the ECL for the next twelve months. It includes all financial assets with no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and it usually entails financial assets with ageing lower than 30 days past due date. The portion of the lifetime expected credit losses resulting from default events possible within the next 12 months is recognized.

Stage 2: Measurement of ECL over the lifetime – not credit impaired. If a financial asset has a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but is not yet credit impaired, it is classified at Stage 2 and measured at lifetime expected credit loss, which is defined as the expected credit loss that results from all possible default events over its expected life.

Stage 3: Measurement of ECL over the lifetime – credit impaired. If a financial asset is defined as credit impaired, it is transferred to Stage 3 and measured at lifetime expected credit loss. Objective evidence for a credit-impaired financial asset includes ageing more than 90 days past due and other information about significant financial difficulties of the borrower.

B) Adoption of IFRS 9 by the Group and the Company

The adoption of IFRS 9 by the Group and the Company since 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out below. In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated. Therefore:

  • i. Any adjustments to carrying amounts of financial assets or liabilities are recognised at the beginning of the current reporting period, with the difference recognised in opening retained earnings,
  • ii. Financial assets are not reclassified in the statement of financial position for the comparative period,
  • iii. Provisions for impairment of financial assets have not been restated in the comparative period.

On that ground, the total impact on the Group's and the Company'sretained earnings as at 1 January 2018 is as follows:

Amounts in thousand Euros GROUP COMPANY
Closing retained earnings as at 31 December 2017 844,303 744,190
Increase in allowance for doubtful debts
of trade and
other receivables
(17,612) (322)
Decrease of deferred tax liabilities 5,076 93
Opening retained earnings 1 January 2018 -
IFRS 9
831,767 743,961

Given that IFRS 9 was adopted without restating comparative information, the reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the IFRS 9 provisions, are not reflected in a restated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, but are recognized in the opening balances of the financial assets for the period starting as at 1 January 2018.

In detail, the effect in the Financial Assets of the Group and the Company, as of 1 January 2018, is presented by the following table:

Unlisted equity securities have been reclassified from "Investments Available for Sale" to FVTOCI, as the Group and the Company have irrevocably elected to classify them at transition date to this category. In compliance with IFRS 9, the Group and the Company consider that the cost of these unquoted equity instruments represents an appropriate estimation of their fair value.

Measurement of Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company has one type of financial assets that is subject to the IFRS 9 ECL approach: "Trade and other receivables".

The Group and the Company apply the IFRS 9 simplified model to estimate the ECL of trade and other receivables, classifying them either at Stage 2 or at Stage 3 and measuring lifetime ECL.

To measure the ECL, the trade and other receivables have been grouped based on their credit risk characteristics and their ageing (days past due) at the reporting date. This measurement is based on specific credit risk metrics (i.e. probability of default, loss given default), which are calculated based on historical data, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

The allowance for doubtful debts of trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2017, reconcile to the opening allowance on 1 January 2018, as follows:

Amounts in thousand Euros Group Company
Allowance for doubtful debts as of 31 December 2017 (under IAS 39) 65.376 0
Additional impairment losses at transition date (under IFRS 9) 17.612 322
Allowance for doubtful debts
as of 1 January 2018 (under IFRS 9)
82.988 322

New Standards and Amendments to Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1 st 2017

IAS 12 (Amendment) "Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses''

Amends IAS 12 Income Taxes in order to clarify that unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument's holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use. The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits and estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilisation of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type. The amendment has been endorsed by the EU in November 2017 and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IAS 7 (Amendment) "Disclosure Initiative''

Amends IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows in order to clarify that entities shall provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.

The amendment has been endorsed by the EU in November 2017 and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2018

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

IFRS 15 provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps in the model are as follows: Identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts, recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Guidance is provided on topics such as the point in which revenue is recognised, accounting for variable consideration, costs of fulfilling and obtaining a contract and various related matters. New disclosures about revenue are also introduced. The standard has been endorsed by the European Union and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 15 (Amendment) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

Clarifications to IFRS 15 amend three areas and specifically regard changes that clarify the application of the concept of 'distinct' in the context of performance obligations identification, changes that clarify the application of the principal of 'control' in making the determination of whether an entity is acting as principal or agent and changes that assist in determining whether an entity's activities 'significantly affect' intellectual property during the period for which it has been licensed to a customer. The amendment has been endorsed by the EU in October 2017 and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 is the first Phase of the Board's project to replace IAS 39 and deals with: the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment of financial assets, hedge accounting, derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The standard has been adopted by EU.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Hedge accounting and amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS7 and IAS 39"

The IASB has published IFRS 9 Hedge Accounting, the third phase of its replacement of IAS 39 which establishes a more principles based approach to hedge accounting and addresses inconsistencies and weaknesses in the current model in IAS 39. The second amendment requires changes in the fair value of an entity's debt attributable to changes in an entity's own credit risk to be recognised in other comprehensive income and the third amendment is the removal of the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9. These amendments have been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 4 (Amendment) "Applying IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' with IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts"

Amends IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts' to provide two options for entities that issue insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4: a) an option that permits entities to reclassify, from profit or loss to other comprehensive income, some of the income or expenses arising from designated financial assets; this is the so-called overlay approach; b) an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 for entities whose predominant activity is issuing contracts within the scope of IFRS 4; this is the so-called deferral approach. Deferral approach effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and only available for three years after that date. The application of both approaches is optional and an entity is permitted to stop applying them before the new insurance contracts standard is applied. Overlay approach to be applied when IFRS 9 is first applied. The amendment is has been endorsed by the EU in November 2017 and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 2 (Amendment) "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions"

Amends IFRS 2 to clarify the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions with respect to a) the accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition; b) the classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features; and c) the accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendment is has been endorsed by the EU and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration"

The interpretation addresses foreign currency transactions or parts of transactions where i) there is consideration that is denominated or priced in a foreign currency; ii) the entity recognises a prepayment asset or a deferred income liability in respect of that consideration, in advance of the recognition of the related asset, expense or income; and iii) the prepayment asset or deferred income liability is non-monetary. The Interpretations Committee concluded that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability and in case there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The interpretation is has been endorsed by the EU and the Group will estimate any impact of this standard in the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

IAS 40 (Amendment) "Investment Property"- Transfers of Investment Property

Amends IAS 40 Investment Property to state in paragraph 57 that an entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is evidence of a change in use. A change of use occurs if property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property. A change in management's intentions for the use of a property by itself does not constitute evidence of a change in use. The list of examples of evidence in paragraph 57 (a) – (d) is now presented as a non-exhaustive list of examples instead of the previous exhaustive list. The amendment is has been endorsed by the EU and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2019

IFRS 16 "Leases''

IFRS 16 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, with the objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant information that faithfully represents those transactions. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16's approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. The standard has been endorsed by the EU in October 2017. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments"

The interpretation sets out how to determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12 Income Taxes. The Interpretation requires an entity to a) determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or as a group; and b) assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings. If yes, the entity should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If no, the entity should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax position. The standard is not yet endorsed for use in the EU. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IAS 28 (Amendment) "Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures"

The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. Detailed amendments to the initial IAS text are provided. Not yet endorsed for use in the EU. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 9 (Amendment) "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation"

The amendment addresses concerns about how IFRS 9 Financial Instruments classifies particular prepayable financial assets. Ιt amends the existing requirements in IFRS 9 regarding termination rights in order to allow measurement at amortised cost (or, depending on the business model, at fair value through other comprehensive income) even in the case of negative compensation payments. In addition, the IASB has clarified an aspect of the accounting for financial liabilities following a modification. It clarifies that an entity recognises any adjustment to the amortised cost of the financial liability arising from a modification or exchange in profit or loss at the date of the modification or exchange. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IAS 19 (Amendment) "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement"

The Amendments to IAS 19 clarify that in case a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement. In addition Amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling.

The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

Amendments to standards being part of the annual improvement program of 2017 of the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) 2015 – 2017 Cycle.

The following amendments describe the most important changes brought to the IFRS due to the results of the annual improvement program of the IASB published in December 2017. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the E.U.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements"

The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.

IAS 12 "Income Taxes"

The amendments clarify that all income tax consequences of dividends (i.e. distribution of profits) should be recognised in profit or loss, regardless of how the tax arises.

IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs"

The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2021

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts"

IFRS 17 requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfillment value and provides a more uniform measurement and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts as of 1 January 2021. The standard is not yet endorsed for use in the EU and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

3. Operating Segments

The major part of the Group's activities takes place in Greece, given that most Group Companies included in the consolidation, are based in Greece, while those having activities abroad are few with limited operations for the time being.

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

Segment information is presented in the following table:

More specifically the Company has undertaken the task to turn the currently metric width railway line into a regular width railway line in accordance with the international railway standards. The project estimated at € 13 million will be effected by MOTOR OIL under the technical supervision of OSE staff. Upon completion of the project, the railway line will belong to OSE and form an integral part of the National Railway Infrastructure.

18.2 "NRG TRADING HOUSE ΕΝΕΡΓΕΙΑΚΗ Α.Ε."

Within June 2018 the Company has entered into a share sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of a 90% stake of the company "NRG TRADING HOUSE S.A." with registered offices in Maroussi, Greece which engages in the energy sector as electrical energy supplier. The agreement is subject to the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities. Following the conclusion of the acquisition of this stake the Group will expand its activities through the entry in the electric power market.

19. Contingent Liabilities/Commitments

There are legal claims by third parties against the Group amounting to approximately € 15.5 million (Company: approximately € 11.7 million). There are also legal claims of the Group against third parties amounting to approximately € 19.9 million (Company: approximately € 0.1 million). No provision has been made as all above cases concern legal claims where the final outcome cannot be currently estimated.

The Company and, consequently, the Group in order to complete its investments and its construction commitments, has entered into relevant contracts with construction companies, the non-executed part of which, as at 31/3/2018, amounts to approximately € 6.8 million.

The Group companies have entered into contracts to purchase and sell crude oil and fuels, at current prices in line with the international market effective prices at the time the transaction takes place.

The bank accounts of the subsidiary "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A." are pledged as collateral for its bond loan repayment.

The total amount of letters of guarantee given as security for Group companies' liabilities as at 30/6/2018, amounted to € 112,998 thousand. The respective amount as at 31/12/2017 was € 123,307 thousand.

The total amount of letters of guarantee given as security for the Company's liabilities as at 30/6/2018, amounted to € 12,115 thousand. The respective amount as at 31/12/2017 was € 19,795 thousand.

Companies with Un-audited Fiscal Years

The tax authorities have not performed a tax audit on "CYTOP SA" for the fiscal years 2012 up to and including 2014 as well as for "KEPED SA" and "ELTEPE SA" for the fiscal years 2012 up to and including 2016. Thus the tax liabilities for those companies have not yet finalized. At a future tax audit, it is probable for the tax authorities to impose additional tax which cannot be estimated at this point of time. The Group though estimates that this will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.

The tax audit for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 for CORAL GAS AEBEY has been completed based on temporary tax audit reports and there are no material additional taxes expected for those years upon the finalization of the tax audits. For the fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 MOH group companies that were obliged for a tax compliance audit by the statutory auditors, have been audited by the appointed statutory auditors in accordance with L2190/1920, art. 82 of L 2238/1994 and art. 65A of L4174/13 and have issued the relevant Tax Compliance Certificates. In any case and according to Circ.1006/05.01.2016 these companies for which a Tax Compliance Certificate has been issued are not excluded from a further tax audit by the relevant tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may perform a tax audit as well within the eligible deadlines. However, the group's management believes that the outcome of such future audits, should these be performed, will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group or the Company.

Up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the group companies' tax audit, by the statutory auditors, for the fiscal year 2017 is in progress. However, it is not expected that material liabilities will arise from this tax audit.

In general, as it is further discussed in the management of each financial risk below, the management of the Group does not consider that any negative developments in the Greek economy in connection with the capital controls of the Greek banks may materially affect the normal course of business of the Group and the Company.

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 borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, 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. The Group through its 100% subsidiary "Motor Oil Finance plc" that is based in London, has already issued, since 2014, bond loans through the offering of Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and also maintains access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives. A possible exit of Great Britain from EU (Brexit) is not expected to have any impact in this subsidiary or in the Group.

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 at the period end was as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
(In 000's Euros) 30/6/2018 31/12/2017 30/6/2018 31/12/2017
Bank loans 924,617 994,065 586,616 667,375
Cash and cash equivalents (758,368) (714,026) (678,057) (638,815)
Net debt 166,249 280,039 (91,441) 28,560
Equity 1,043,605 1,018,883 908,138 881,837
Net debt to equity ratio 0.16 0.27 (0.10) 0.03

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury department 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 department reports on a frequent basis to the Group's management that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures.

21. Management of Financial Risks (continued)

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 these risks. Considering the conditions in the oil refining and trading sector, as well as the negative economic environment in general, we consider the course of the Group and the Company as satisfactory. The Group also through its subsidiaries in the Middle East, Great Britain, Cyprus and the Balkans, aims to exploit its endeavors at international level and to further strengthen its already solid exporting orientation. Moreover, the instability in the domestic market, in connection with the capital controls, is not expected to create problems to the normal course of business of the Company, which due to its strong exporting orientation generates adequate cash flows to cover the necessary imports of crude oil for the refinery activities. Furthermore, crude oil prices are determined in the international markets and are not affected so by any domestic market turbulences.

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.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to have borrowings with 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. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. 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 30/6/2018 amounted to Euro 27.3 million. As far as receivables of the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL A.E.", "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." and "L.P.C. S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide range of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is limited. The Group manages its domestic credit policy in a way to limit accordingly the credit days granted in the local market, in order to minimise any probable domestic credit risk.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and available bank loan facilities. In order to address such risks, the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and cash equivalents and ensures available bank loans facilities, maintaining also increased cash balances. Moreover, the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.

As at today the Company has available total credit facilities of approximately € 1 billion of which € 587 million have been withdrawn and total available bank Letter of Credit facilities up to approximately € 400 million.

Going Concern

The Group's management considers that the Company and the Group have adequate resources that ensure the smooth continuance of the business of the Company and the Group as a "Going Concern" in the foreseeable future.

22. Events after the Reporting Period

Within July 2018 the Company proceeded with the acquisition of installations with a cost of € 12.6 mil. consisting of approx. 85.6 thous. square meters land, buildings and equipment next to the refinery in Aghii Theodoroi. This acquisition will optimize the refinery's operation and storage capacity as well as its expansion capabilities. Besides the above, there are no events that could have a material impact on the Group's and Company's financial structure or operations that have occurred since 1/7/2018 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.

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 separate and consolidated statement of financial position of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A., as of June 30, 2018 and the related condensed separate 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 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 as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation 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 and Regulatory Requirements

Our review has not revealed any inconsistency in the content of the management half year financial report provided by article 5 of Law 3556/2007 when compared to the accompanying interim condensed financial information.
