DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors presents its annual report and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIESThe principal activity of the Company continues to be that of an investment holding company. Other activities include the provision of credit facilities for investments in quoted shares. Since March 2005 K+G Complex Public Company Limited (K+G) has become a subsidiary company. The principal activities of this subsidiary are the construction and sale of residential units and the development and sale of land located in the Amathus area of Limassol, the sale of shops and flats in the Galatex Beach Centre in the tourist area of Yermasoyia, Limassol and the holding of investments. Since August 2007, The Cyprus Cement Public Company Limited (CCC Ltd) has become a subsidiary company as a result of the increased shareholding of K+G in the share capital of CCC Ltd. The principal activities of CCC Ltd are the manufacture and sale of cement and the acquisition of strategic investments in companies operating in related and other fields of business, including quarrying, industrial laundry and dry-cleaning and hotel and tourism. REVIEW OF CURRENT POSITION AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEThe consolidated financial results for the year and the Group’s position at 31 December 2007 are presented on pages 7 and 11 of the financial statements, respectively. The net profit for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Company amounted to £12.510.998, compared to £1.646.150 in 2006. Total equity at 31 December 2007 amounted to £148.897.197 (2006: £26.907.044).The consolidated turnover amounted to £13.512.457 in 2007, compared to £163.001 in 2006. At the same time, consolidated cost of sales increased from £52.055 in 2006 to £10.166.450 in 2007. As a result of the above, the consolidated gross operating profit increased from £110.946 in 2006 to £3.346.007 in 2007.After the deduction of administration, selling and distribution and other operational expenses, totaling £1.677.707 (2006: £629.309), the net operating profit for the year amounted to £1.728.273, compared to a loss of £497.973 in 2006. After deducting net financing costs (including exchange differences) and the results of associated companies, the profit for the year before taxation amounted to £13.003.401 (2006: £1.488.490).DEVIATION FROM THE INDICATIVE RESULTS FOR THE YEARThe deviation of the final results for the year of £12,82 million from the indicative results of £20,35 million announced on 3 March 2008, is due to recalculation of the negative goodwill.The original provisional calculation of negative goodwill was based on the total number of shares held by the Company while the revised calculation is based on the shares acquired during the year 2007, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS3.The net asset value of the Group is not affected by the above change because the difference between the fair value of net identifiable assets attributable to the shares held prior to 1 January 2007 and the carrying amount of the investment has been transferred to capital reserve as revaluation reserve.BOARD OF DIRECTORSThe present membership of the Board of Directors is set out on page 1. There were no changes in the assignment of responsibilities and the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors during the year under review.In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association Messrs Vassos Lazarides and Costas St. Galatariotis retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election, while Mr. Tasos Anastasiou retires and offers himself for election.DIVIDENDSThe Board of Directors does not recommend the payment of a dividend.SHARE CAPITALThere were no changes in the issued share capital of the Company during the year under review and up to the date of the financial statements.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Cont’d)

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIESThe activities of the Group are subject to various risks and uncertainties related to the construction and tourism industries in general. These activities are influenced by a number of factors which include, but are not restricted to, the following:o National and international economic and geopolitical factors;o The growth of the construction and real estate sectors;o The impact of war, terrorist acts, diseases and epidemics which are likely to influence tourists’ arrivals on the island;o Increases in labour and energy costs;o Increased domestic competition as well as competition from neighboring countries.In addition, the land of K+G is located in short distance from Ancient Amathounda where the discovery of antiquities is probable. In such a case, part of the land owned by the subsidiary will have to be expropriated and the subsidiary will be compensated on the basis of the current market value of the land.Details of the Group’s exposure to credit, interest and foreign currency risks are given in note 6 to the financial statements.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The performance of the parent company is not expected to change significantly in the foreseeable future. The separation of part of the land of K+G into plots for sale has been completed and they are now available for sale. K+G also proceeds with the development of four new luxury villas for sale. Except as mentioned in the following paragraph, the Board of Directors does not expect any significant changes in the activities of the Group in the foreseeable future.

On 1 January 2008, date of introduction of the Euro as the new official currency of the Republic of Cyprus, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries changed from Cyprus pounds to the Euro. As a result of this change, as from 1 January 2008 all assets and liabilities of the Group have been converted using the fixed conversion rate of €1=£0,585274.

This land is registered in the name of the Government of the Republic for the account of CCC Ltd.

Report on the Consolidated and Company’s separate Financial Statements

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of C.C.C. Holdings & Investments Public Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) and the Company’s separate financial statements on pages 7 to 46, which comprise the balance sheets of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2007, and the income statements, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements of the Group and the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Board of Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated and Company’s separate financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ Responsibility

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

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

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

1. REPORTING ENTITY AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

C.C.C.

(ii) Standards and Interpretations in issue but not yet effective:

As at the date of approval of these financial statements the following Standards and Interpretations, relevant to the Group’s operation were in issue but not yet effective:Standards and Interpretations adopted by the EU

Notes to the consolidated financial statementsYear ended 31 December 2007

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION (cont’d)

(b) Basis of preparation and measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, modified to include the fair value of available-for-sale investments and property, plant and equipment. The accounting policies followed by the Group have been consistently applied by the Group companies.The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 5.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group companies operate (“the functional currency”). These statements are presented in Cyprus pounds (£), which is the Group companies’ functional currency.

(d) Use of estimates and judgementsThe preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(a) Basis of consolidation(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control effectively commences until the date that control effectively ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.

(ii) Associates (equity accounted investees)

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Associates are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognized at cost. The Group’s investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses and equity movements of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

(iii) Transactions eliminated on consolidationIntra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized gains arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the enterprise against the investment in the associate. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains except that they are only eliminated to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(b) Foreign currency transactionsTransactions in foreign currencies are translated to Cyprus pounds at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Cyprus pounds at the exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arizing on translation are recognized in the income statement for the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Cyprus pounds at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction.

(c) Financial instruments(i) Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables.Non- derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value thought profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and cash in hand. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part to the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than twelve months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets.Borrowing are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.Accounting for finance income and expense is discussed in note 4(r) below:Investments in equity and debt securities are accounted for as follows: Available-for-sale financial assets

The Group’s investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classified as available for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (see note 4(k)) and foreign exchange gains and losses on available-for-sale monetary items (see note 4b) are recognized directly in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to profit or loss.

Investments in subsidiaries:In the Company’s financial statements, investments in subsidiaries (refer to accounting policy 4a (i)) are carried at cost less any amounts written off to recognize declines, other than temporary, in the value of the investment (refer to accounting policy 4(k)).Investments in associates:Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements under the equity method (refer to accounting policy 4a(ii)) and in the Company’s financial statements at cost, less impairment losses (refer to accounting policy 4(k)).

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)(c) Financial instruments (cont’d)(i) Non-derivative financial instruments (cont’d)

Held-to-maturity investments

If the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then they are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Financial assets at fair value thought profit or loss:

An instrument is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Financial instruments at fair value, through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.

Other

Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses (refer to accounting policy 4(k)).

(ii) Share capital

Ordinary Shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity.

Repurchase of share capital (treasury shares)

When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as reserve for own shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When repurchased shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/from retained earnings.

(d) Property, plant and equipment (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost or revaluated amounts less accumulated deprecation and accumulated impairment losses (refer to accounting policy 4(k)(ii)).

(ii) Cost

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, labour and any other cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the side on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment. Borrowing costs related to acquisition or construction of qualifying assets is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives they are accounted for as separated items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(d) Property, plant and equipment (cont’d) (iii) Revaluation

When an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is credited directly to equity under the heading of revaluation reserve. The increase is recognized in the income statement for the year to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in the income statement. When an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognized in the income statement for the year. However, the decrease is debited directly to equity to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve in respect of that asset.

(iv) Subsequent expenditure

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The cost of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(v) Disposal

Gains and losses of disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

(vi) Depreciation

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Assets are depreciated from the year of acquisition or, in respect of self-constructed assets, from the year the asset is completed and put into use. Land is not depreciated and no amortization or depletion is provided in relation to the extraction of marl from the Group’s quarries for production purposes. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Buildings 25 to 50 years Plant and machinery 10 to 20 years Motor vehicles 5 to 8 years Furniture and equipment 5 to 20 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. (e) Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), it is recognized immediately in the income statement.

Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses (refer to accounting policy 4(k)(ii)). Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment. In respect of associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.

(f) Loans granted to third partiesLoans granted to third parties are stated at nominal value less writedowns for any amounts considered to be irrecoverable.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)(g) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recorded at the proceeds received. The total finance cost represents the interest on the outstanding amount of the debt and is charged to profit or loss as it accrues.

(h) InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. In general, cost includes all direct expenditure and other related overheads. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less applicable variable selling expenses.

(i) Trade and other receivablesTrade and other receivables are stated at their nominal value less impairment losses (refer to accounting policy 4(k)).

(j) Creditors and other payablesCreditors and other payables are stated at their cost.

(k) Impairment (i) Financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. An impairment loss in respect of an available-for-sale financial asset is calculated by reference to its fair value.Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.All impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any cumulative loss in respect of an available for-sale financial asset recognized previously in equity is transferred to profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognized in profit or loss. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognized directly in equity.

(ii) Non financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non financial assets, other than inventories (refer to accounting policy 4(h)) and deferred tax assets (refer to accounting policy 4(s)) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assesssed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(l) Non – current assets and disposal groups held for saleNon-current assets (or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities) that are expected to be recovered primarily though sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets (or components of a disposal Group) are remeasured in accordance with the Groups accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill and then to remaining assets, deferred tax and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and employee benefits assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

(m) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Group contributes to the Provident Fund of its employees and to the Provident Fund of its management team which are defined contribution plans. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss when they are due.

(ii) Share-based compensation

A subsidiary has a Share Options Scheme in place (the Scheme) whose beneficiaries are the top management team of the subsidiary. Under the terms and condition of the scheme the beneficiaries are granted share options at the absolute discretion of the Administrative Committee which has been set up for this purpose. The beneficiaries will have the right to exercise the share options granted to them on predetermined dates being January 2008 and January 2009. The exercise price of the share options will be the market value of the shares at the time of granting the options and will always be at least equal to the nominal value of the share. The share options can be exercised within six years from the start date of the Scheme for each of the years in which the Scheme will be implemented. The total number of the new shares that will be issued under the terms of the Scheme will not exceed 4% of the subsidiary’s issued share capital. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. It recognizes the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, and a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.

(n) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as result of past event , the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the liability.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(o) Revenue

(i) Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized as turnover in the income statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Specifically, turnover represents the amounts invoiced in respect of goods sold to customers during the year and it is stated net of trade discounts and returns.

(ii) Income from services

Income from services rendered is recognized in the income statement as it is earned on the basis of the services rendered up to the balance sheet date.

(p) Government grantsGovernment grants are recognized initially as deferred income when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognized. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

(q) Operating lease paymentsPayments made under operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.

(r) Finance income and expenses

Finance income and expenses include exchange differences, interest payable on borrowings and overdue amounts, as well as dividend income, interest receivable from customers, on funds deposited with banks and on advances to related companies. Interest is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

(s) TaxationTaxation on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax comprises corporation tax payable on the taxable profit for the year using the applicable tax rates and any adjustment of tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years, as well as special contribution to the defence fund on interest received on deposits with banks.Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes, except differences relating to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities using the tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date. The effect on deferred tax of any changes in tax rates is charged to the income statement to the extent that it does not relate to items previously charged or credited directly to equity.A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses and credits can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(t) Earnings per shareThe Group presents basic and diluted earning per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

(u) Segment reportingA segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards different from those of other segments.Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

(i) Business segments

The Group presents information with respect to its business segments which are determined on the basis of the type of goods/services sold. As a result, sales and cost of sales as well as the assets and liabilities of the Group are analysed on the basis of the following business segments:- Cement production- Industrial laundry and drycleaning - Hotel and tourism- Property development and sales

(ii) Other analyses

No other analysis other than by business segment, as described above, is provided since any other analysis will be of no additional significant benefit.

(v) Deferred expenditure (i) Overburden removal

Deferred expenditure includes amounts paid for the removal of overburden in the quarries and are recognized at cost. These costs relate to a predetermined process which is technically and commercially feasible and for which the Group has sufficient resources to complete the process and to utilize commercially the resulting product. These costs are capitalized provided the income resulting from the commercial use of the product will cover the said costs and are written off in the income statement over a period of five years.

(ii) Royalty fees

Annual commercial contribution fees are based on annual turnover and are written off to the income statement so as to match this expenditure against the income it relates to.

(iii) Impairment

The carrying value of deferred expenditure is reviewed regularly to determine whether there is any indication of impairment (refer to accounting policy 4(k)(ii)).

(w) ComparativesWhere necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

5. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods described below. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(i) Property, plant and equipment The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognized as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the market prices for similar items.

(ii) InventoriesThe fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories.

(iii) Investments in equity and debt securities The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and available for sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted bid price or, if not listed, by reference to professional valuations at the reporting date. The fair value of held-to-maturity investment is determined for disclosure purposes only.

(vi) Trade and other receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

(v) Non – derivative financial liabilitiesFair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

(vi) Share-based payment transactionsDue to the proximity of the year end date to the exercise date the fair value of the shares less the exercise price of the options was used as an approximation of the fair value of the stock options for the purpose of the calculations.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

OverviewThe Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

● credit risk● liquidity risk● market risk

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements.The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview (Cont’d)The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Board of Directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. Credit riskCredit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.Trade and other receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country, in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. The Board of Directors has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, where available, and in some cases bank references. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a cash on delivery basis.In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are an individual or legal entity, whether they are a wholesale or retail customer, geographic location, industry, ageing profile, maturity and existence of previous financial difficulties. The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main component of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individual transactions with customers with whom the Group is in litigation or that have declared bankruptcy and are n the process of liquidation. Guarantees

The Group’s policy is to provide financial guarantees to subsidiaries as well as to government departments that may require such guarantees in relation to the Group’s operations. At 31 December 2007 guarantees of 7.900.000 were outstanding (31 December 2006: 9.062.000).

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group constantly assesses its funds requirements, which assists it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising its cash return on investments. Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. In addition, the Group maintains the following lines of credit: £2,95 million overdraft facility that is secured. Interest would be payable at basic rate plus 150 basis points. £8,3 million overdraft facility that is secured. Interest would be payable at basic rate plus 120 basis points. £0,11 million overdraft facility that is secured. Interest would be payable at basic rate plus 200 basis points £0,90 million overdraft facility that is secured. Interest would be payable at basic rate plus 100 basis points. £0,25 million overdraft facility that is unsecured. Interest would be payable at basic rate plus 150 basis points.

From the total overdraft facilities of more than £12 million, the Group had withdrawn as at 31 December 2007 £3,9 million.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)

Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.Currency riskThe Group is exposed to currency risk on purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Cyprus pound, primarily the euro (€), but also the U.S. dollars (USD), the pound sterling (GBP) and the Swiss Franc (CHF). Interest rate riskInterest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Group has no significant interest bearing assets. The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to its borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rate expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group’s management monitors the interest rate fluctuations on continuous basis.Industry risk The activities of the Group are subject to various risks and uncertainties related to the construction and tourism industries in general. These activities are influenced by a number of factors which include, but are not restricted to, the following:o National and international economic and geopolitical factors;o The growth of the construction and real estate sectors;o The impact of war, terrorist acts, deceases and epidemics which are likely to influence tourists’ arrivals on the

island;o Increases in labour and energy costs;o Increased domestic competition as well as competition from neighboring countries.

Operational riskOperational risk is the risk that derives from the deficiencies relating to the Group’s information technology and control systems as well as the risk of a human error and natural disasters. The Group’s systems are evaluated, maintained, and upgraded continuously.Compliance riskCompliance risk is the risk of financial loss, including fines and other penalties, which arises from non-compliance with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Cyprus and the European Union. The risk is limited through the monitoring controls applied by the Group.Litigation riskLitigation risk is the risk of financial loss which arises from the interruption of the Group’s operations or any other undesirable situation that arises from the possibility of non-execution or violation of legal contracts and consequently from lawsuits. The risk is restricted through the contracts used by the Group to execute its operations.ReputationThe risk of loss of reputation arising from the negative publicity relating to the Group’s operations (whether true or false) may result in a reduction of its clientele, reduction in revenue and legal cases against the Group.Capital management The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital which the Group defines as total shareholders’ equity, excluding minority interests, and the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade and related party receivables during the year was as follows:

The Group The Company2007 2006 2007 2006

£ £ £ £Balance at 1 January 175.935 - - -Impairment loss recognized 36 .491 - - - Balance at 31 December 212 .426 - - -

The allowance accounts in respect of trade and related party receivables are used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible. At that point the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the financial asset directly.In determining the recoverability of trade and related party receivables, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. Based on the above and past experience, the Group believes that no additional impairment allowance is necessary in respect of receivables past due but not impaired.

Sensitivity analysis

A 10 percent and 2 percent strengthening of the Cyprus pound against the US$ and CHF, respectively, at 31 December would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown above. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

A 10 percent and 2 percent weakening of the Cyprus pound against the US$ and CHF respectively at 31 December would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.The analysis above does not include any sensitivity effect for Euro dominated financial liabilities, as the Group does not expect any currency risk with respect of the Euro as from 1 January 2008, due to the introduction of the Euro as the new official currency of the Republic of Cyprus, which will result in a change in the functional currency of the Group from £ to the Euro.

37. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

LitigationAs at 31 December 2007, a legal action is pending against the subsidiary company, K+G Complex Public Company Limited in relation to work certified for contracting services for the amount of £85.684. The amount of C£54.827 is included in the Group’s liabilities in relation to retentions of work billed by the contractors. The subsidiary company recognises this liability but is claiming back the amount of C£112.487 as a compensation for contract violation (delays) and the amount of C£4.211 as a compensation for poor workmanship.In addition, there are a number of pending litigation cases against CCC Laundries (Paphos) Limited (CCCLP) by its minority shareholder (plaintiff).In the first case the minority shareholder seeks compensation from CCCLP and its majority shareholder, CCC Laundries Limited (CCCL), for alleged oppression of a minority shareholder. No provision has been made in the financial statements in respect of this claim as the Group’s legal advisors believe that the case will be in CCCL’s favour. The case was heard in 2007 but the court had not issued its final ruling by the date of approval of these financial statement.In the second case the minority shareholder demands the dissolution of CCCLP or the purchase of its shares by CCCL at a price to be determined by the court. CCCL has filed an objection and the case has not yet been tried by the court. No provision has been made in the financial statements in respect of this claim as the outcome is uncertain. The plaintiff also secured an injunction stopping the sale for £540.000 of a part of the immovable property of CCCLP in Paphos. A sales agreement was signed with The Cyprus Import Corporation Limited and the relevant capital gains tax was paid. The sale however did not materialize since the plaintiff did not consent to the sale. No profit was recognized in the consolidated financial statements as the transaction is not considered realized. Further to the above legal cases a minority shareholder of CCC Ltd filed a personal lawsuit for criminal charges against CCCLP and its directors regarding the sales agreement mentioned above. The case is due to be heard in July 2008.
