CLR: Six-month results 2008 – Redenomination of capital

We wish to inform you that at the meeting held on Thursday, July 31, 2008, the Board of Directors of CLR Capital Public Ltd examined and approved the six-month report, which includes the interim financial statements and the interim management statement.

The interim management statement refers to the annual accounts for 2007 and the guarantee of €9.2 million that the Company had granted in 2003. In its consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2007 the guarantee was included in the “Contingent Liabilities”, a well-grounded registration due to the controversial legality of the guarantee. It is noted that the Company continues to dispute the legal entity of the guarantee. However, after SEC’s remark and despite the fact that there was no change with regard to the reasons for which the guarantee was presented as contingent liability in the financial statements of 2007, the Company decided to proceed with the provision of the sum of €9,622,517 in the profit and loss account with regard to the above guarantee.

The interim consolidated profit and loss account and the interim management statement will be published in newspaper X press Economiki on Friday, August 1, 2008. Copies will be available free of charge at the Company’s registered office, 26 Vironos, CLR House, Nicosia, tel. 22898600.
