on projects under development, and for which either there is no construction license or the budget is not yet<br />

The amount of Euro 4,064,360 recorded under caption “Investment Properties at cost” refers to the write-off<br />

of the capitalized costs regarding projects which the Group may abandon, due to their non-viability, being<br />

the most significant: project Puerta Granada, in Spain, in the amount of Euro 2,065,706 and projects Centro<br />

Bordalo and Setúbal Retail Park in Portugal, in the amounts of Euro 534,711 and Euro 603,589,<br />

respectively.<br />

By the end of 2008, the subsidiary Project <strong>Sierra</strong> Spain 3, S.A. (PSS3) paid to Inversiones Tobet-3, SL<br />

(Tobet) the amount of Euro 10,765,000 (amount corresponding to the proportion held by the Group) under a<br />

conditional share-purchase agreement of two parcels of land in Pulianas (Granada), on which was intended<br />

to build a shopping center (project Puerta Granada). By the time of the contract elaboration, Tobet provided<br />

a bank guarantee in the same amount to ensure compliance with the pre-conditions set out in the<br />

agreement. As those conditions were not met, the Group decided to abandon the project, having the bank<br />

guarantee been executed on 21 July <strong>2009</strong>. The guaranteed amount has however still not been received due<br />

to an injunction approved by a court in Granada due to a lawsuit initiated by Tobet against PSS3.<br />

In addition, due to a promissory share-purchase agreement, for a future plot, between PSS3 and Ikea<br />

Ibérica, SAU (IKEA), the Group received until 2008 an advance from IKEA in the amount of Euro 1,725,000<br />

(amount corresponding to the proportion held by the Group), and PSS3 provided a bank guarantee to IKEA.<br />

In July <strong>2009</strong>, it was decided to cancel the agreement and the amounts received from Ikea were reimbursed<br />

by PSS3.<br />

The amount of Euro -1,161,825 under caption “Adjustment to fair value” refers to the gain/loss with the<br />

transfer of investment properties “Manauara” (Euro -4,479,854) and “Torre Oriente” (Euro 3,318,029) from<br />

“In progress at fair value” to “In operation”.<br />
