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

 

   

The Company’s revenues increased by 46.8% from Ps. 738,8 million during fiscal year 2007 to Ps. 1,084.2 million, during fiscal year 2008. The operating results increased by 28.4% to Ps. 254.8 million, due to the increase in the operating results of the Company’s rent segments, such as 46% Shopping Centers, 166.4 % Office Rent and 23% in Hotels.


   

The Shopping Centers segment continues growing in its cash flow, showing a solid performance, due toits operating results increased by 46% over the growth rate in income which was 28%. Occupancy continues in a high level reaching up to 99.3% at the end of fiscal year, and the Company’s tenants increased their sales by 31%.

 

   

The Company continues consolidating its position in the shopping centers segment, through acquisitions, development, improvements, optimization of leasable areas and the optimization of the tenant mix. The Company continues with its main development through Panamerican Mall S.A. and has agreed to acquire a shopping mall located in San Isidro. The Company expects that both shopping malls can start operating during this fiscal year.

 

   

The office rent segment continues showing high levels of occupancy and its rents revenues have risen by 81.4%, from the past fiscal year due to the production of new square meters, and due to the readjustment of its rents produced at the same time renewals tend to equal the Company’s square meter revenues to markets value.

 

   

During this fiscal year, we have purchased two A class buildings: Torre Bank Boston and Edificio Republica, both designed by Cesar Pelli. By the time of the acquisition Edificio Repulica had two large vacant surfaces that currently are being rented between US$ 37 and US$ 40 per square meter. The Company has also made the appreciation of its assets within this segment, through the sale of almost 30% of the Edificio La Nacion. As a result of these transactions, the Company´s offices leasable gross area has increased up to 18%, and reached 163,725 square meters. By the end of the construction works of the office building located at Dique IV, the Company will incorporate 11,000 square meters in addition to its portfolio during the present fiscal year.

 

   

The Company has relaunched the sales and developments segment through the partnership with Cyrela Brazil Realty to develop a new concept of housing in Argentina, with an innovative financing and sales policy.
