MORGAN STANLEY INTERNATIONAL LTD, a shareholder of MÕÔÉLINEOS GROUP S.A., announced with a letter to the Capital Market Committee, the purchase of additional shares of the above company thus raising its stake in MYTILINEOS GROUP S.A. from 9.98% to 10.34%.

JUMBO S.A. : Impressive is the increase of net profits after taxes by 41.5% for the Jumbo Group accounting statements, concerning the 9-month period (from July, 1, 2005 to March, 31, 2006) of the current financial year (July 1, 2005 - June, 30, 2006).

The Group's management describe the net profits after taxes for the said 9-month period, amounting to 33.85 million Euro, as "exceptionally good" and estimates that the astonishing improvement rate of the figures will remain unchanged up to the end of the current financial year, which closes in the end of June, since the 11-month period which has already elapsed and which included the Easter period, which is of great importance for the overall result, remained intensely growing. In particular, as per the International Accounting Standards, the Group's accounting statements for the 9 months from July 2005 - March 2006 feature an impressive increase of the gross profit margin by 168 base points, which resulted in the sales increasing at a rate of 21.46% to 213.83 million Euro, and in the net profit before taxes improving by 33.14% to 47.56 million Euro. Iin combination with the decrease of tax rates, the above implies an improvement of the net profit after taxes by 41.52% to 33.86 million Euro against 23.92 million Euro of the previous relevant 9-month period. During the current financial year 2005-2006, the Jumbo stores' network expanded by 4 new ultra-modern sales, and customer service sites, in Corfu (privately-owned), Patras (second store), Alexandroupolis and N. Ionia Attikis. Today the Group commands a powerful network of 41 retail sales points, of 261,350 m2 total surface.

Appraising both the Group's and the Parent Company's results, the President and Managing Director of Jumbo Group, Mr. Apostolos Vakakis, noted the following: "The systematic collective effort of both the management and the employees resulted in this year's exceptional profitability. The shareholders have every right to rejoice in the prospect of dividend rates and the overall course of the share's price. During the last 5 years, our figures have been steadily increasing by double-digit percentages. We continue to regard our shareholders as participants and partners. We have thus to sensitize them to the possibility that the auspices for the following financial year will not be as prosperous as in the past. The consumers shall face both increased interest rates and inflationary pressures. The economic growth in the Eurozone countries is not yet the expected one. In the domestic market, the prospects may be better, but, within the two next years, the Jumbo Group will attempt an impressive qualitative jump, by creating 5 giant metropolitan hyper-stores in Attica basin. Due precisely to their size, the new investments shall be completed and will operate after at least 18 months, fact that leads the management to delimit the budget, for the following year, to +9-10% as regards the Group's turnover, and to remain in cardinal numbers at the same levels with the current prospective high profitability".

ARCADIA METAL IND. C. ROKAS S.A. : Comments on a published article

In response to an article published in a weekly newspaper dated 20-21 May 2006, which referred to "illegal activities of ROKAS" with respect to an investment in a Wind Farm located at Skorponeria, we would like to point out the following, without prejudice to our legal rights:
1. Our Company has not engaged in any illegal activity whatsoever; on the contrary, it has taken all the necessary steps to protect the environment and has obtained all permits required by all the competent authorities.
2. The site where the Wind Farm is being installed is outside any residential areas or any approved or proposed urban development plan, and there are no agricultural establishments, poultry farms or industrial plants whatsoever approved for the said site. The site where the Wind Farm is being installed was never a forest, but is a semi-rocky, uncultivated land where only bushes and dry-leaved shrubs grow.
3. Indeed, an Appeal for the Cancellation of the installation and production licenses has been filed with the Council of State, on the grounds of alleged environmental damage. It is worth pointing out, however, that the parties "interested" in the protection of the environment are, based on their own statement, real estate developers, i.e. technical and construction companies, which have been turning parts of the site where our investment is located into building plots and then erecting buildings for resale. The companies in question have demanded that the restrictions imposed on thousands of acres of forested areas are lifted for development purposes; namely they wish to have the said forested areas turned into building plots and erect buildings, whereas our Company engages in the generation of renewable energy without wasting any type of conventional energy, causing any pollution, or producing any waste, while also ensuring foreign exchange benefits for our country. In view of the above, it is easy to discern the motive behind such actions taken by parties interested in turning the area into building plots, which undoubtedly will have no effect whatsoever on any court of law.
