We can remark the following activities during the period:

Among the activies developed during the fiscal year, the following may be highlighted:

 

   

Operating results grew 30.7%, from Ps.122.3 million as of March 31, 2006 to Ps.159.8 million as of March 31, 2007. EBITDA was Ps.223.5 million, 22.1% higher than in the same period of the previous fiscal year.


   

The net results of the nine-month period ended on March 31, 2007 registered a profit of Ps. 113.9 million, an 178.3% increase from Ps. 40.9 registered on the same period on fiscal year 2006. This important increase in the net results of the Company is principally due to an improvement in the operating and financial results.

 

   

Occupancy at our office buildings continues to experience a material recovery, reaching 98.9% during the first nine months of fiscal year 2007, compared to 92.0% recorded in the first nine months of the previous fiscal year. In addition, revenues from this sector increased from Ps. 21.5 million as of March 31, 2006 to Ps. 37.9 million as of March 31, 2007.

 

   

On March 15, 2007, we signed the deed for the AAA office building Bouchard Plaza, which has 33,324 square meters of rental space and is located in downtown Buenos Aires. This brand new acquisition, together with the acquisition of Dock del Plata and the option to purchase Edificio República (another AAA office building in downtown Buenos Aires), allows the Company to consolidate its leadership in this business segment.

 

   

Sales and development segment amounted Ps. 40.0 for the nine-month period ended on March 31, 2007, compared to Ps. 32.8 million registered for the same period in the fiscal year 2006.

 

   

Revenues from the hotel segment posted a significant increase of 18.4%, from Ps. 79.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 to Ps. 94.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2007. The increase mainly reflects the rise in average prices per room, which improved from Ps.379 to Ps.481. In addition, we continue the construction of 42 new suites in Hotel Llao Llao, and the improvements in Hotel Sheraton Libertador.

 

   

Alto Palermo’s operating results were 19.2% higher than the results from the same period in the previous fiscal year, amounting Ps. 126.0. EBITDA was Ps.176.1 million, 14.9% higher than in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

   

Our tenants’ sales increased by 22.8% in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, and occupancy at our shopping centers reached 98.8%.

 

   

On May 11, 2007, Alto Palermo issued two new note series for a total amount of US$ 170 million. Series 1 Notes amount US$ 120 million due on May 11, 2017, with a fixed interest rate of 7.875% payable semiannually, and its principal payable on May 11, 2017. Series 2 Notes amount Ps. 154 million (equivalent to US$ 50 million) due on June 11, 2012, with a fixed interest rate of 11.000% payable semiannually, and its principal will be paid in seven installments every six months, commencing on June 11, 2009.
