Dr. Georgios Stamatiou Chairman of the Group, commenting on the aforementioned results stated the following:

“The increase of Earnings before and after taxes and the Turnover's maintenance at the same level with the corresponding previous fiscal period, for the parent company and the group, is the result deduced by the financial figures-results of the first half of 2013. The results justify the laborious efforts of the people constituting “IASO's family”. I am confident that, at these tough and uncertain social and financial circumstances, IASO's people will demonstrate (even) more strength and will continue working with the same commitment to the goals, the main of which are:

• Maintaining and increasing the number of clients'/patients' in combination with further raise of their satisfaction level.
• The enhancement of the IASO – Physicians' liaison, in order to jointly improve the status, the efficiency and the tender to people and society.
• The further rationalization of the operating cost.
• New services development, incorporating new techniques of medicine.
• Seek out of opportunities, for any kind of new acquisitions.
• Cash liquidity enhancement as well as the decrease of Group's borrowings and it's cost.”
