During 2007, the Company made good progress in consolidating its position as a major investor in the Ukrainian real estate market. The placing and admission to AIM in August 2007, in which an additional $33.1m was raised from institutional investors, has enabled the Company to advance its portfolio of development projects as well as execute on its strategy of concentrating on attractive office, residential and warehouse developments in Ukraine. At 31 December 2007, the Company's interest in the portfolio projects was valued at $57.6m. Operational Review The Ukrainian property market continues to benefit from strong long-term fundamentals driven by high economic growth, urbanisation, and a shortage of high quality commercial and residential property. In particular, the demand for quality logistics facilities is high and the Company has seen considerable interest in its two logistics projects. Overall, the Company currently has investments in five development projects and an outdoor advertising business, all of which were advanced significantly during 2007 with respect to local planning. In addition the Investment Manager has progressed its other pipeline opportunities. A summary of the status of each of the existing five projects and Aisi Outdoor is given below: Terminal Brovary Currently under construction, this is Aisi's most advanced project.

In November 2007, building approval was received from Brovary City Council of Kiev Region, allowing the commencement of construction. A building contractor has been chosen and construction work is now in progress, with completion expected during H2 2008.

All valuations were carried out by appropriately qualified valuers. The valuers' opinion of the Market Value of each property has been primarily derived using comparable recent market transactions on an arm's length basis and an estimate of the future potential net income generated by use of the properties because their specialised nature means that there is no market based evidence available. Project related prepayments include advances for contractors and consultants on works preceding development of properties. In May 2007 the Group sold its interest in Tarasovskaya project. In October 2007 the Group obtained building permit for one of its projects which was reclassified from Investment Property to in Property under development according to IAS 40. 12.

Contingencies The Group is a party to a litigation matter related to complaints filed by the Group's former employee. As at 31 December 2007 there were several litigation cases which indirectly involve Aisi Realty Public Limited as a shareholder of Aisi Taurus LLC and Aisi Ukraine LLC. Since the outcome of this litigation and the range of any possible loss cannot be estimated, no accrual has been in the Group's financial statements. Management does not believe the results of legal proceedings will have a material effect on the Group's financial position or results of operations. Under certain conditions, as defined in the respective purchase and sale agreement, the Group has a put option that would allow the Group to sell its interest back to seller at the price higher than the original purchase price. The fair value of this option is not considered to be material. The Group has an obligation to purchase the remaining minority interests in the event that certain conditions, as defined in the relevant sale and purchase agreement, arise. The directors have considered the likelihood of these conditions arising and consider them to be remote. A number of the land leases are held for relatively short term and place an obligation upon the lessee to commence development prior to expiration date of the lease agreement. In the event that a development has not commenced upon the expiry of a lease the City Authorities are entitled not to extend lease agreement on the basis that the land is not used in accordance with its designation. Furthermore, in order to extend lease agreement all necessary permissions and consents for development have to be presented to the authorities. However the management believes that the possibility of such action is remote and was made only under limited circumstances in the past. In undertaking the valuations reported herein, DTZ Kiev have made the assumption that no such circumstances will arise to permit the City to rescind the land lease or to not grant a renewal. 22. Commitments Operating lease commitments The future aggregate minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows: 2007 2006 US$ US$ Within one year 310.968 144.116 Between one and five years 441.185 592.878 After five years 42.945 57.260 ---------- ---------- 795.098 794.254 =========== =========== 23. Post balance sheet events In December 2007 the Company entered into 2 preliminary agreements for the acquisition of 80% of the charter capital of two Ukrainian Companies, for the total consideration of US$4.8 million and US$3.12 million respectively. Subject to conditions precedent the Company expects to complete those acquisitions by mid 2008. In accordance with the Annual General Meeting held on 3 March 2008, the directors express their plans to increase the Share Capital of the Company in the near future.
