The BoD President and CEO of P.P.A. SA George Anomeritis characterized the financial year of 2010, for which the final results will be presented at the next Board of Directors Meeting in early March, as “profitable”. The reversal from the last year loss to profit is attributed to the reduction in the weighted average of total Company’s expenses by 12%. This decrease resulted from:

It is noted that 2011 will be a year of positive evolutions due to:
(a) the participation of P.P.A.SA as a leader to the Attica Port System , (b) the expansion of its operations with new revised tariffs, (c) the full operation of the Company’ subsidiaries, and (d) the restructure of its operating model .
