REPORT OF THE CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of
ATTICA ENTERPRISES HOLDINGS SA AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
We have audited, in accordance with the provisions of article 108 of Company Law 2190/1920, the 12th consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated profit and loss account as well as the related notes to the financial statements of ATTICA ENTERPRISES HOLDINGS SA and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2003. We applied the auditing procedures which we deemed necessary for the purpose of our audit and which are in accordance with the principles and standards of auditing of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Greece and we verified the contents of the consolidated directors report with the related consolidated financial statements.
The following matters resulted from our audit:
1). In accordance with the provisions of article 12 of L. 3193/2003, during the current year the Group of “STRINTZIS LINES SHIPPING SA and its subsidiaries” reduced the purchase prices of its vessels. The difference which resulted from the revaluation of € 65 million was transferred directly to the account “Differences arising from the revaluation of sundry fixed assets”. In accordance with Company Law 2190/1920 this amount should have been transferred to Profit and Loss account.
2). The Group of “STRINTZIS LINES SHIPPING SA and its subsidiaries” have not made a provision for receivables totaling € 726.000 which are in our view doubtful.
3). In December 1998 the Competition Committee of the European Union levied a fine on a number of shipping companies including the Group company STRINTZIS LINES SHIPPING SA. The fine which was finally imposed on the company in December 2003 based on a decision of the European Court amounts to approximately € 1.5 million against which a provision has been made of € 750.000 because the company’s legal counsel believes that a positive outcome is possible on the appeal which will be filed by the company.
4). The parent company and its subsidiary STRINTZIS LINES SHIPPING SA have not made a provision of € 5 million (of which € 2.6 million refers to the current year) which relates to the possible cost of repayment of the Bond Loans in the case the option to convert the loans into shares is not exercised because management believe that it is very likely that at the expiry date of the Bond Loans the conversion option will be preferred.
5). The companies of the Group have not been audited by the tax authorities for the years 2002 and 2003 with the exception of BLUE STAR FERRIES SHIPPING SA which has not been audited for the years 1993 to 2003 and as a result of this, their tax liabilities for these years have not become definite.
In our opinion, subject to the effect of the matters referred to above, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Company Law 2190/1920 and present the property structure, the financial position and the results of all the companies which are included in the consolidation of 31 December 2003, in accordance with the related statutes and the accounting methods and principles which are applied by the parent Company and which have been generally accepted and do not differ from those applied in the previous year.
