We are now reaping the benefit of this experience as we expand into new countries such as India, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukraine and Russia. We continue to drive our acquisitions programme as shown by the three projects acquired since the year end and have built an exciting pipeline of assets, which we expect to bring to fruition during 2008 and in the following years. 'As a result of our disposals we are delighted to be in a position to announce our first dividend payment, expected to be â‚¬0.14 per share, payable in June. We continue to make excellent progress with our core strategy of offering western-style shopping and entertainment facilities to a growing middle class and an increasingly affluent consumer base and look forward to the future with considerable excitement and confidence.' Ran Shtarkman, the Company's President and CEO, added: 'Despite the global economic slowdown, we continue to see strong demand for our high quality shopping and entertainment centres, from both tenants and investors. This has ensured that we have successfully been able to progress our business model and drive to expand our international presence. 'With current cash balances of circa. â‚¬400 million, we see exciting opportunities for Plaza to expand its portfolio and to take part in attractive new investments in real estate, broadly unaffected by conditions in the current credit markets. 'Our diversification into India also creates the opportunity for Plaza to continue to expand and enjoy high rates of return as demonstrated in the past. A middle class population of over 250 million can support such expansion and returns for many years. 'We also continue to examine other future emerging market opportunities, which we consider to offer strong potential consumer demand for Plaza's development projects. We are confident that the Company will achieve its goal to complete at least four to five developments each year and, thereby, deliver strong income and capital growth for our shareholders. We look forward to continued progress in 2008.'

(www.plazacenters.com) is a leading emerging markets developer of shopping and entertainment centres. It focuses on constructing new centres and, where there is significant redevelopment potential, redeveloping existing centres in both capital cities and important regional centres. The Company is dual listed on the Main Board of the London Stock Exchange and, as of 19 October 2007, the Warsaw Stock Exchange (LSE:'PLAZ', WSE: 'PLZ/PLAZACNTR'). Plaza Centers N.V. is an indirect subsidiary of Elbit Imaging Ltd. ('EI'), an Israeli public company whose shares are traded on both the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in Israel and the NASDAQ Global Market in the United States. Plaza Centers is a member of the Europe Israel Group of companies which is controlled by its founder, Mr Mordechay Zisser. It has been active in real estate development in emerging markets for over 12 years. CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT We are delighted to report excellent progress across all Plaza's operations in the year ended 31 December 2007 and in the period since the Company's year end. During this time, we have not only consolidated our strong position in our established markets, but also secured sites in new locations such as Serbia and Bulgaria, and entering a new continent with our investments in India. All the countries share demographic and socio-economic changes which support our business rationale for entering these promising markets. In many senses, Plaza has achieved some major milestones in the period since 1 January 2007: â€¢ We extended our portfolio of projects to 30; â€¢ We have continued successfully to source exciting new opportunities across all our target markets; â€¢ Through the sale and completion of assets - most notably Arena Plaza - we achieved a profit before tax of â‚¬227 million; â€¢ Through a period of challenging conditions in the financial markets, we have raised substantial support through the bond market in Israel in two over-subscribed offerings; â€¢ The strength of the Company's performance and financial position has enabled us to meet our strategic promise to pay our first dividend to shareholders - subject to their approval - expected in June 2008; and â€¢ In the last quarter of the year, we achieved a dual listing of our shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, thereby cementing our presence in Poland. Results We ended 2007 with gross revenues of â‚¬510 million and a net profit of â‚¬227 million, resulting mainly from the sales of Arena Plaza in Budapest, Hungary, the Rybnik, Sosnowiec and Lublin Plazas in Poland and the Duna Plaza offices in Budapest, Hungary. The resulting rise in basic and diluted EPS was 190% to â‚¬0.78 and â‚¬0.77, respectively. In this era where many companies present profits which result mainly from accounting revaluations, the Group has maintained its policy of not revaluing its inventory of real estate under construction. The result is that our profits are derived from pure cash gains that constitute real value to shareholders. During the year, we invested heavily in existing assets under construction as well as continuing to acquire sites to build a substantial future pipeline. Our total investment in real estate inventories under construction ('trading properties') at year end 2007 amounted to â‚¬298 million and we expect to present significant revenues out of these inventories in 2009 and onwards. Plaza has a current cash position of â‚¬400 million as at today's date, arising mainly from the gross proceeds of approximately â‚¬137 million from the recent bond issue in Israel and the receipt of â‚¬265 million from the sale of Arena Plaza, net of investments in current projects and new pipeline projects. It is gratifying that, in the face of tightening conditions in the world's financial markets, the Company continues to be very strongly placed to develop out its existing portfolio of projects and acquire new sites, thereby ensuring its ability to create and deliver value to its shareholders. NAV The Company's portfolio as at December 31, 2007 was valued by King Sturge LLP and their summary valuation is shown below. The Company saw a significant increase in the value of some of its assets, especially in regard to the Arena Plaza in Budapest which was valued at â‚¬333 million at IPO and was sold to aAIM for circa â‚¬381 million. The three shopping and entertainment centres sold in Poland were also handed over at a price higher than their value estimated at IPO. All shopping malls were 100% let on opening, resulting in a higher closing consideration paid to the Company than disclosed in the Company's Prospectus and a combined total market value for the three properties of â‚¬129.1 million (Plaza's share), an increase of â‚¬26.6 million compared to the estimated value at the time of the Company's IPO. In addition, nine new assets were acquired and valued post the prior valuation which was done as at June 30, 2007 and by December 31, 2007, which resulted in a substantial increase in the Company's Net Asset Value. The Company's NAV was calculated as follows: Use EUR (Thousand) Market value of land and projects by King Sturge LLP (1) 802,530 Assets minus liabilities as at December 31, 2007 (2) 260,058 Total 1,062,588 (1) per valuation attached below (2) excluding book value of assets which were valued by King Sturge LLP The resulting NAV per share is Â£2.68 (30 June 2007: Â£2.37), a 41% increase compared to the IPO value and a 13% increase compared to 30 June 2007. Strategic direction The Company has been active in emerging markets in the CEE since 1996, when it pioneered and opened the first western-style shopping and entertainment centre in the CEE in Hungary and began to implement its vision of offering western-style shopping and entertainment facilities to a growing middle class and an increasingly affluent consumer base. The strategy set out in the Company's Admission Document remains unchanged. We aim to: â€¢ develop four to five modern western-style shopping and entertainment centres per year in the capital and regional cities of selected countries, primarily in CEE (focusing on the medium term in Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Greece) and mixed use developments in Ukraine, Russia and India for the medium and long term; â€¢ acquire operating shopping centres that show significant redevelopment potential (either as individual assets or as portfolios) for refurbishment and subsequent re-sale; â€¢ pre-sell, where prevailing market and economic conditions are favourable, the centres prior to, or after, commencement of construction or redevelopment; and â€¢ where the opportunity exists in CEE and India, extend its developments beyond shopping and entertainment centres by leveraging its strengths and drawing upon the experience and skills of the Company's executive management team and the Europe Israel Group to participate in residential, hotel, offices and other development schemes where such developments form part of integrated large scale business and leisure developments. Examples include Dream Island, with 350,000 sqm GBA which will be developed as a major hotel, recreation facilities, casino, business and leisure complex and is located on the southern end of Obuda Island in the Danube River in central Budapest. Unlike the rest of the world, which has several substantial gambling led leisure and entertainment resorts such as Las Vegas and Macau, Europe still lacks these types of destinations, mainly due to bureaucratic issues which prevent permits being granted. Our Dream Island development is in a prime location in the middle of Continental Europe, which over 350 million people can access within two hours flying time. During 2008, we are tendering for the casino permits from the Hungarian state for the development. As soon as those are received, we will proceed with our development in a highly focused manner and will thereby create a leading resort which will have a high impact throughout Continental Europe. Apart from this, our next priority is the Casa Radio mixed use project which comprises a total of 360,000 sqm GBA in Bucharest's city centre and will include one of the largest and most prestigious shopping centres in the CEE. We look forward with confidence to building upon our proven and successful business model to expand the Company's activities both within the CEE region and in new territories such as India and thereby driving income and capital growth on behalf of our shareholders. Key events Since its Admission to the LSE in November 2006, Plaza has invested all of the gross proceeds from its IPO, totalling Â£166 million, through the acquisition of 19 projects and from capital expenditure on the construction and delivery of our existing schemes. In October, Plaza shares were listed in Poland, becoming the first property company to achieve a dual listing on the Main Board of the London Stock Exchange and The Warsaw Stock Exchange. This dual listing is aimed to generate increased liquidity in the shares, and to enable the growing investor appetite both in Poland and the wider CEE region, to invest in the Company through a local stock exchange. Earlier in the year, Maalot, The Israeli affiliate of Standard & Poor's Rating Services, approved a rating of 'A+/positive', for Plaza to raise new debt up to the amount of US$400 million. This enabled the company to raise â‚¬53.3 million, via the private issuance of unsecured non-convertible Notes to institutional investors in Israel. Since the year end, the Company has raised a further â‚¬137 million, via a public offering of Notes to Israeli investors. This raising of debt, in increasingly uncertain credit markets shows the confidence from investors in our ability to deliver on our goals, and provides us with substantial additional financial flexibility and firepower to continue with our acquisition and development programme. Plaza today, equipped with high cash balances and ability to raise additional debt, is extremely well positioned in these times of liquidity shortage in the financial markets in Europe. We forecast that the current financial crises will present significant opportunities to acquire real estates assets in attractive terms, and Plaza is highly positioned to enjoy such opportunities. Portfolio progress The Company is currently engaged in 30 assets and projects under development located across the Central and Eastern European region and in India. The location of the assets under development, as well as office buildings, is summarised as follows: Number of assets Location Under development Offices Romania 7 1 Poland 5 - Czech Republic 5 (*) 1 Hungary 4 1 Serbia 3 - India 3 - Greece 1 - Latvia 1 - Bulgaria 1 - Total 30 3 (*) including Pilzen which was completed and is pre-sold to Klepierre, handover is anticipated soon. The Company invested a total of â‚¬152 million in 13 acquisitions and joint ventures during the year. These were a shopping & entertainment development scheme in Torun in Poland; two joint venture projects in India; an existing shopping centre in Budapest, Hungary which shows significant redevelopment potential for refurbishment and subsequent sale; a residential project in Roztoky in the Czech Republic; and the acquisition of four sites in Romania at Timisoara, Miercurea Ciuc, Slatina and Iasi for shopping and retail-led mixed use developments. In addition, Plaza has penetrated into two new countries, Serbia and Bulgaria with four new developments. The Serbian projects include two in Belgrade (totalling GLA of 130,000 sqm) and one in Kragujevac (24,500 sqm), while the Bulgarian project comprising GLA of 18,000 sqm is located in Shumen. In addition, the Company created the Plaza-BAS joint venture with 50.1% stake to construct residential units and office space in Romania, currently the venture holds stakes in seven developments in three major cities in Romania. Subsequent to the year end, we have acquired additional three plots for shopping & entertainment developments: one in Kielce, Poland and two in Romania- in Honedoara and in Targu Mures. We are extremely enthusiastic about our entry into the dynamic Indian market with three large-scale retail led mixed used developments, and we expect to continue to significantly expand our portfolio there over the next coming years. In general, the scale of our developments in India is larger than that in the CEE, due to the country's enormous population. In India, there are approximately 250 million middle class people and it is our belief that this serves as a sound base for many years of Plaza operating profitably in that emerging market. In addition, in a busy period of disposals, Plaza has undertaken a number of significant transactions. The most important of these was the sale of Arena Plaza in Budapest, the largest shopping centre in Hungary and amongst the largest in Central and Eastern Europe, to Active Asset Investment Management Plc ('aAIM'). The transaction price amounted to â‚¬381 million compared to the estimated value at the time of the Company's London IPO of â‚¬333 million. In addition, we have sold our 50% stake in Lublin Plaza, as well as our stakes in Rybnik Plaza and Sosnowiec Plaza in Poland to Klepierre SA. All three were 100% let on opening in 2007 and had a market value of â‚¬129.1 million (Plaza's share) compared to the estimated value of approximately â‚¬102.5 million at the time of the Company's IPO. Since November 2006, Plaza has utilised 100% of the IPO proceeds for its active acquisitions programme and the ongoing delivery and completion of its development schemes. During 2007, Plaza invested gross sums as follows: Use EUR (m) Finance of current developments 265 Acquisition of pipeline projects in the CEE 130 Expansion of operations in India 30 Total 425 Dividend Policy The basis of the Company's stated dividend policy is to reflect the long-term earnings and cash flow potential of the Group, taking into account the Group's capital requirements, while at the same time maintaining an appropriate level of dividend cover. In Plaza's Interim Results announcement in September 2007, the Directors outlined their intention to make distributions based on the annual net profits of the Group starting with the 2007 financial year. In light of the Company's strong performance, owing to the highly profitable disposal of assets, the Board of Directors will seek shareholders' approval at the annual general meeting on 27 May, 2008 for a maiden dividend of â‚¬57 million, representing circa Â£0.14 per share. If approved, the first dividend is expected to be paid in June 2008, with an ex dividend date of May 28, 2008 for shareholders on the register at May 30, 2008. Outlook Plaza has become a significant force over the last twelve years in our established markets in Central and Eastern Europe, where we were the first company to develop western style shopping and entertainment centres. We are now reaping the benefit of this experience as we expand into new countries such as India, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukraine and Russia and are delighted to be reporting excellent profits for the year to 31 December 2007. Although the Company's exact financial performance will vary, according to our development cycle which is on average between two to four years per project, we are pleased with the current diversity and timescale of our pipeline. We also continue to drive our acquisitions programme, as shown by the three projects acquired since the year end, and have built an exciting pipeline of assets, which we expect to bring to fruition during 2008 and in the following years. The diversification of our portfolio into India places Plaza in a strong position to maintain its rapid growth over the past years. Our activity in both the CEE and India establishes Plaza, in my opinion, as having one of the most compelling development portfolios of any European property company. As a result of our disposals we are delighted to be in a position to announce our first dividend payment, expected to be Â£0.14 per share, payable in June. On an ongoing basis, we expect to continue our completion programme which we anticipate, in line with our stated goals, which we anticipate will result in strong income and capital growth for our shareholders. We look forward to the future with considerable excitement and confidence. Mordechay Zisser Chairman 27 March 2008 CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW Over the last year Plaza has maintained its exemplary track record and delivered strong returns for its shareholders. In line with our strategy for the year, we have opened five shopping and entertainment centres; three in Poland, one in Hungary and one in the Czech Republic, all of which were 100% occupied upon opening. We also successfully sold our landmark Arena Plaza scheme in Budapest at a fantastic 5.9% gross yield and totalling circa. â‚¬381 million, â‚¬48 million more than the project's value at our Admission, reflecting the highest volume transaction and circa 20% of all real estate transactions done in Hungary in 2007. For 2007 we are presenting record profits of circa 227 million, resulting mainly from pure cash gains from our exits, with no accounting (IFRS) revaluation gains. Our understanding of local markets and the requirements and aspirations of potential tenants and visitors is key to our success. Plaza as a brand continues to grow in repute and plays a major role in our ability to source opportunities and work closely with local authorities and communities. Through applying these same principles and our business model consistently, we have been able to achieve considerable international expansion, not least in the months since our IPO in London in November 2006. 2007 and the period since the year end have been highly active for Plaza across all areas of its business. Particular highlights include: â€¢ Completion of developments: successful openings of Rybnik, Sosnowiec and Lublin shopping and entertainment centres in Poland, Arena Plaza in Hungary and Plzen Plaza in the Czech Republic, all 100% let upon opening; â€¢ Exits: Handover of the interests in the above mentioned Polish centres to Klepierre and the sale of Arena Plaza at terms more favourable than those reflected in our Prospectus; â€¢ Acquisition of pipeline: 16 new developments acquired (19 since IPO) including first acquisitions in Serbia and Bulgaria; â€¢ Local presence: further expanded with commencement of operations in Ukraine and Russia; â€¢ Investments: Total gross investment in current projects and new pipeline in 2007 of â‚¬425 million; â€¢ Financial strength and flexibility: High cash balances and an A+/ positive rating granted by the Israeli affiliate of Standard & Poor's for the raising of up to $400 million notes at favourable interest rates, followed by an updated rating of Aa3 by the Israeli affiliate of Moody's. Approximately â‚¬53 million was raised in July 2007 and an additional â‚¬137 million was raised in February 2008. Current cash balances stand at circa â‚¬400 million; â€¢ Stock Exchange listing: Achieving dual listing on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange ('WSE'). Plaza is the first property company to achieve a dual listing on both the London Main Board and the WSE. Plaza's shares were the best performing real estate company on the London main market during 2007, recording an 18% increase and outperforming all real estate indices (EPRA Global, Europe, UK). To date, Plaza has been involved in the development of 30 schemes in nine countries, of which seven are located in Romania, five in Poland, five in the Czech Republic (including Pilzen Plaza which was completed and will be handed over soon to Klepierre), four in Hungary, three in Serbia, three in India, one in Latvia, one in Greece and one in Bulgaria. In addition, Plaza holds three additional office buildings in Budapest, Prague and Bucharest. The projects are at various stages of the development cycle, from the purchase of land through to the planning and completion of construction. In addition, Plaza is negotiating to purchase sites for the development of several additional schemes throughout the CEE region and India.

During 2007, Plaza continued to develop and completed the Arena Plaza, its landmark shopping centre scheme in central Budapest, comprising approximately 66,000 sqm GLA, making it one of the biggest in CEE. The mall was pre-sold to aAIM in August 2007. The mall was opened to the public in November 2007 with 100% occupancy on opening and has been successfully handed over to aAim. In addition, Plaza holds a 30% stake in Dream Island, a prestigious development on the Obuda Island in central Budapest, with a land area of 320,000 sqm, which is intended to be developed as a major resort area including hotels, recreation facilities, a casino and a business and leisure complex with a development budget of over â‚¬1.2 billion and 350,000 sqm GBA. Preliminary design and excavation works are already underway. Two further projects are in feasibility and planning stages, namely the extension of the Duna Plaza and the Arena Plaza, both of which are located in central Budapest. In accordance with its strategy to acquire operating shopping centres that show significant redevelopment potential for refurbishment and subsequent sale, in September 2007, the Company bought a 35% stake in the Uj Udvar shopping centre in Budapest, Hungary. The Group continues to own its office building in Budapest, David House on Andrassy Boulevard. Poland Between 2001 and 2005, Plaza built, managed and, in 2005, sold four shopping centres located across Poland. In 2007, the Company completed the construction of three shopping centres in Rybnik (approximately 18,000 sqm GLA), Sosnowiec (approximately 13,000 sqm GLA) and Lublin (50% held, approximately 26,000 sqm GLA). All three were 100% let upon opening and have all been handed over to Klepierre on better terms than those mentioned in our Prospectus. In addition, Plaza continued the feasibility and planning of its developments scheme in Lodz (designated for residential use) and Suwalki (designated for retail use), as well as an acquisition of an additional plot of land for a planned shopping centre in Torun (comprising approximately 45,000 sqm of GLA) and in Zgorzelec (comprising approximately 15,000 sqm of GLA). Since the year end, Plaza has acquired another development in the city of Kielce (comprising approximately 40,000 sqm of GLA) Czech Republic Construction of the Plzen Plaza (approximately 20,000 sqm GLA) commenced in 2006 and was completed in Q4 2007. Plaza has purchased 39,000 sqm of private land in Roztoky, a town close to Prague, which includes a valid planning permit for 81 family homes. It is intended to commence construction in 2008. The Company continues to own an income-yielding office building in Prague which is being re-zoned for a scheme of 61,600 sqm of residential units. Romania In November 2006, Plaza acquired a 75% interest in a company which has entered into a public-private partnership agreement with the Government of Romania to develop the approximately US$1 billion budget Casa Radio (Dambovica) scheme in Bucharest, the largest development plot available in the city centre. The Romanian Government will remain a 15% partner in the scheme. The development of Casa Radio comprises approximately 360,000 sqm of GBA, including a 120,000 sqm GLA shopping mall and leisure centre (one of the largest in Europe), residential units, offices, hotel, casino, hypermarket and convention and a conference hall. The Group continued its rapid expansion in Romania, with the purchase of four strategically important sites in 2007 and two more in 2008. It has acquired a plot in Timisoara for the development of a mixed use project comprising approximately 41,000 sqm GLA of shopping space and 30,000 sqm GLA of office space; a plot in Iasi for the development of a mixed use project providing approximately 41,000 sqm GLA and 30,000 sqm of office space; a site in Miercurea Ciuc which will be developed into a shopping centre with approximately 14,000 sqm of GLA; a site of 20,000 sqm and another site in Slatina for the development of a shopping and entertainment centre of GLA 21,000 sqm. In addition, Plaza has a 50.1% stake in the Plaza-BAS joint venture. Currently the joint company holds seven projects in Bucharest, Brasov and Ploiest with a budget of â‚¬290.4 million and expected sales value of â‚¬410.6 million: Fountain Park Acacia Carino Tower Green Poiana Brasov Primavera Tower Pinetree Total Park Land Glade Location Bucharest Ploiest Ploieast Ploieast Brasov Brasov Brasov - Plaza-Bas 25% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% - Share Nature Residential Residential Offices Residential Residential Offices Residential - Size (sqm) 18,000 30,000 9,600 24,000 130,000 10,000 35,000 256,600 Budget (MEUR) 17.7 27.4 18.4 20.7 155 17.6 33.6 290.4 Sales value 19.9 34.1 29.1 27.7 236 22 41.8 410.6 (MEUR) Any additional value above book value of the Plaza-BAS venture assets has not been included in the NAV and was not valued by King Sturge. In light of this, we believe they offer a future potential uplift in value for shareholders. Since the year end, Plaza has acquired its sixth and seventh developments in Honedoara (comprising approximately 20,000 sqm of GLA) and Targu Mures (comprising approximately 30,000 sqm of GLA). Latvia Construction works started in March 2007 on the Riga Plaza project comprising approximately 49,000 sqm of GLA in Riga, Latvia (a 50% holding). The scheme is located on the western bank of the river Daugava by the Sala Bridge and Plaza expects this project to be completed during 2009. Serbia Serbia is one of the Eastern European nations where Plaza sees strong potential for future investment opportunities. During 2007, Plaza successfully established its presence in Serbia with the acquisition of three new plots. The first of these was a state-owned plot and building in Belgrade, Serbia, which Plaza secured in a competitive tender. The building was formerly occupied by the federal ministry of internal affairs in the former Yugoslavia, and is located in the centre of Belgrade in a neighbourhood of government offices and foreign embassies. Plaza believes that the Belgrade market offers particular potential, with a catchment area of approximately 2.5 million people. Additionally, as Belgrade has not to date benefited from institutional grade investment in retail or commercial real estate, this development will have particular significance in terms of providing a new commercial and cultural destination for both domestic and international visitors. Plaza has partnered a local Serbian developer for the project who will be entitled to participate in up to 10% of the project, subject to certain conditions, with project management handled solely by Plaza. The development will comprise a shopping gallery, offices and hotel totalling circa 90,000 sqm of GBA. In December 2007, the Company won a second competitive public auction announced by the Government of Serbia for the development of a new shopping and entertainment centre with a total GLA of approximately 40,000 sqm in Belgrade, Serbia. The site is located on one of the main roads leading into the centre of Belgrade. The site also has the potential for additional residential and office development as part of the shopping and entertainment centre. An additional development in Serbia is located in Kragujevac, a city of 180,000 inhabitants. Kragujevac is the administrative centre of the Sumadija district and the fourth largest city in Serbia. The planned shopping and entertainment centre will comprise approximately 24,500 sqm GLA and will include a cinema complex, fashion retailers, a food court, restaurants and parking places for approximately 900 cars. Greece Plaza owns a 15,000 sqm plot of land centrally located in Piraeus Avenue, Athens. Plaza is currently working on securing building permits for the construction of a shopping centre, or alternatively an office complex, totalling approximately 35,000 sqm of GLA. Russia and Ukraine New country directors have been appointed to these countries to focus on possible investments and to gain deeper understanding of the local market. Negotiations are currently underway to purchase plots in the major cities of these countries. India As outlined in its Prospectus, Plaza has identified strong potential in India and, during the reporting period, acquired two development projects in 50-50 Joint Venture in the Kharadi district of Pune, totalling approximately 225,000 sqm of GBA and in Trivandrum, the capital city of the State of Kerala, of approximately 195,000 sqm GBA. Both projects are for mixed use development (shopping centre, offices, hotel and serviced apartments), with Kharadi featuring 120,000 sqm of shopping space, office space of approximately 81,000 sqm and 24,000 sqm of serviced apartments. The project in Trivandrum will provide shopping space of some 67,000 sqm, an office complex of 90,500 sqm and 37,500 sqm of serviced apartments. Prospects Despite the global economic slowdown, we continue to see strong demand for our high quality shopping and entertainment centres, from both tenants and investors. This has ensured that we have successfully been able to progress our business model and drive to expand our international presence. With current cash balances of circa. â‚¬400 million, we see exciting opportunities for Plaza to expand its portfolio and to take part in attractive new investments in real estate, broadly unaffected by conditions in the current credit markets. Our diversification into India also creates the opportunity for Plaza to continue to expand and enjoy high rates of return as demonstrated in the past. A middle class population of over 250 million can support such expansion and returns for many years. We also continue to examine other future emerging market opportunities, which we consider to offer strong potential consumer demand for Plaza's development projects. We are confident that the Company will achieve its goal to complete at least four to five developments each year and, thereby, deliver strong income and capital growth for our shareholders. We look forward to continued progress in 2008. Ran Shtarkman President and CEO 27 March 2008 FINANCIAL REVIEW Results The 2007 financial statements reflects the completion of five shopping and entertainment centres, the realization of four shopping and entertainment centres and one office building, as well as substantial investment in current projects and in new pipeline of additional 13 projects acquired during the year. In line with the Group's commercial decision to focus its business more on the development and sale of shopping and entertainment centres, the Group is classifying its current projects under development as trading properties rather than investment properties. Accordingly, revenues from the sale of trading properties are presented at gross amounts. The Group is not revaluating its trading properties and therefore profits from these assets represent actual cash-based profits due to realizations. Revenues for the year ended 31 December 2007 increased to â‚¬510 million (2006: â‚¬74 million), mainly due to the sale of Arena Plaza in Budapest, Rybnik Plaza, Sosnowiec Plaza and Lublin Plaza in Poland. Gains from the sale of investment property decreased to â‚¬2.1 million (2006: â‚¬13.7 million), mainly due to the policy of the Group to classify properties as trading properties. The gain in 2007 represents the net result from the sale of the Duna Plaza Offices in Budapest, while the 2006 gain was mainly from the Poznan Plaza price adjustment. The cost of operations is attributable to the cost of projects sold mentioned above (Arena, Rybnik, Sosnowiec and Lublin) which were classified as trading properties (inventories). Administrative expenses increased to â‚¬23 million (2006: â‚¬8 million), mainly due to an increase in the Company's volume of activities, including moving into new markets, and to non-cash share-based payments (â‚¬7.6 million) (2006: â‚¬1.2 million) which were not in place for most of 2006 (most options were granted at the IPO date, in late October 2006). In addition, the options are amortized in the profit and loss statement using the conservative graded vesting method as required by IFRS. Using this method, the majority of the expense (approximately 60%) is recognized during the first year of vesting, i.e most of the expenses for the options granted at IPO are reflected in the 2007 financials statements. Additional reasons for the increase of the administrative expenses are the costs for the registration of the company's shares in the Polish Stock Exchange (circa â‚¬800,000) and the costs of the openings of the five shopping and entertainment centres which were opened to the public in 2007 (approximately â‚¬2.5 million). These costs are included as administrative expenses under IFRS and are not part of the construction of the relevant asset. Net finance was positive in 2007 at â‚¬9.3 million (2006: â‚¬0.6 million) due to higher cash balances and more favourable lending terms achieved. Tax expenses continue to remain very low at â‚¬90,000 (2006: â‚¬1.6 million), reflecting less than 1% (2006: 11%) of profits before tax and resulting from the Group's favourable tax structure. Profit for the period amounted to â‚¬227 million in 2007, above market expectations, compared to â‚¬14.7 million in 2006 and again reflects the sale of five assets as mentioned above in comparison with the one asset sold in 2006 (Novo Plaza in Prague). Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2007 were â‚¬0.78 and â‚¬0.77, respectively (2006: both â‚¬0.27). The increase is not proportional to the increase in Profits, as the public share offering that took place only in late 2006 when the number of outstanding shares was increased significantly. Balance sheet and cash flow The balance sheet as at 31 December 2007 showed current assets of â‚¬721 million compared to current assets of â‚¬414 million at the end of 2006. This rise primarily results from Plaza's realization of five assets and investment in our substantial pipeline of development projects. The cash position of cash and short term deposits decreased to â‚¬93 million (2006: â‚¬219 million), mainly due to acquiring 13 pipeline projects during the period and completion of construction of current projects, net of receipts from the five trading properties and one investment property sold. As of today and following the collection of the Arena sale proceeds and the Notes issuance affected in February 2008, the Company has cash balances of approximately â‚¬400 million. Investment properties decreased to â‚¬13 million (2006: â‚¬26.6 million), due to the sale of Duna Plaza Offices. Currently only the Prague 3 logistic building is classified as an investment property. Total bank borrowings (long and short term) decreased to â‚¬6 million (2006: â‚¬57 million) reflecting the repayment of the loans used to construct the five trading properties subsequent their sale. Long term debentures reflects bonds issued in July 2007 in Israel, hedged to the EUR and bear an effective interest rate of Euribor+1.69%. Trade payables and other liabilities increased to â‚¬19 million and â‚¬52 million, respectively (2006: â‚¬16 million and â‚¬3 million, respectively), due to the increase in the volume of construction activities. Related Party balances are presented gross (both in the assets and in the liabilities sections of the balance sheet) as the balances are with different Plaza group subsidiaries and therefore netting was not possible under IFRS. However, the net balance of the Plaza Group with its controlling shareholders is approximately â‚¬5.4 million (liability), from which â‚¬1.9 million is due to a provision in respect of project management fees charged by the Control Centers group, relating to project supervision services granted in respect of the extensive development of projects within the Group. In addition, the balance also includes re-charge of expenses paid on behalf of Plaza by its parent company, mainly in India. In conclusion, Plaza's balance sheet reflects significant strength. Our increasing balance of inventories under construction will result in successful yield in the near future and will generate substantial revenues in the upcoming years. Plaza has proven to be able to generate substantial profits, which arise from actual cash realization of assets and not from revaluations. Our high level of liquid balances, supported by the ability to raise additional Notes and bank financing, will enable us to bring the current portfolio into fruition and to expand our portfolio with additional exciting developments in current and future additional markets and to generate substantial added value to our shareholders.
