The responsibility for the compilation of the financial statements lies with the management of the company in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as these are adopted by the European Union and are applied in the interim period (IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim summary financial information based on the conducted review. Scope of the review We conducted our review in accordance with the International Review Standard 2410 Review of Interim Financial Reporting Conducted by an Independent Auditor of the Financial Unit, on which the Greek Reviewing Standards are based. The review consists of the implementation of procedures for the establishment of information, mainly from individuals who are responsible for financial and accounting issues and the implementation of critical analysis and other review procedures. The scope of a review is substantially limited compared to an audit conducted based on the Greek Auditing Standards, and thus it does not provide us the ability to gain reassurance that all significant issues have come to our knowledge that would be noted in an audit. Thus the present report does not constitute an audit report. Opinion Based on the conducted review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial statements have not been prepared, from any view, according to IAS 34. Without reservation as to the review s conclusions, we draw your attention to note 9 that is THRACE PLASTICS Co. SA INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (PARENT AND CONSOLIDATED) AS OF

The outcome of the tax audit can not be estimated at the current stage, and thus no relevant provision has been made in the financial statements.

This change was necessary due to the consolidation that took place between companies belonging in different sectors, in order for better information to be provided. The comparative statements of the previous period were restated in order to become comparable with current statements. The Rigid Packaging sector corresponds to the Rigid Packaging sector of the previous year, the Industrial Packaging correspond to FIBCs and the Technical Woven to Woven and nonwoven. It is also noted that during the current period, given that new companies were added in the, as these are reported in note 15, the figures reported are not directly comparable to those reported in comparative financial statements. 8. Earnings, after tax, per share The earnings after tax per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue, excluding the s own shares Earnings after tax attributed to shareholders 6,123 6, ,885 Number of shares (weighted) 45,500 45,177 45,500 45,177 Basic earnings per share (euros in absolute amounts) The weighted number of current shares is the same and is applied as it stands for the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share. There is no obligation for the issue of new shares in the future.

16 9 Income tax According to the Greek Law, the income tax for the Greek companies is calculated based on the rate of 25% for fiscal year 2007 and after. The tax rate used to calculate the deferred tax is the one tht is estimated to prevail by the time the temporary tax differences would be reversed. For the companies operating in Greece this rate is 25% The analysis of income tax charged on the results is as follows: Income tax (1,863) (2,267) (309) (1,337) Deferred tax income/(expense) Total (1,801) (2,066) (188) (976) In Greece, the results reported to tax authorities are deemed temporary and are subject of examination by the tax authorities. Therefore, for the non-examined fiscal years there is the possibility for additional tax at the time the tax authorities will examine them. The final tax outcome is not possible to be estimated at this stage and therefore no provision is made in the Financial Statements.
