Overview
The Board of Aisi is pleased to report its maiden full year results since its
admission to AIM on 1 August 2007. 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. As one of
Ukraine's first Class A logistics warehouses situated approximately 30
kilometres north-east of Kiev it will feature some 42,800 square metres of
modern warehouse space.
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.
In addition, Aisi increased its shareholding to 100% in Terminal Brovary through
the acquisition of the 40% stake owned by the original vendors for a total of
$1.7m in accordance with the sales and purchase agreement entered into in
September 2006.
Bela Logistics Park, Odessa
A logistics complex situated approximately 15km from Odessa and comprising three
independent warehouse buildings constructed with a gross area of 108,000 sq. m.
incorporating approximately 11,000 sq. m. of chilled storage.
All the necessary permissions and approvals have been obtained and an agreement
with a general contractor for the building construction has recently been
signed. Construction should commence imminently and it is expected that it will
be completed within 18 months.
Kiyanivsky Lane
Kiyanivsky Lane, a residential development overlooking the historic Podil
district of Kiev, is in the final permitting stage and is expected to commence
construction in the second half of 2008.
Tsimliansky Lane
Tsimlyansky Lane, a residential development in the Podil district of Kiev, is
also in the final permitting stages and expects to be breaking ground in the
second half of 2008.
Podil Residential
A residential development situated in the Podil district of Kiev. The Company
has extended the term of the loan for this project till June 30, 2008, by which
date it anticipates that the loan will convert to equity once all necessary
permits are obtained and confirmed by the legal due diligence or that the loan
will be repaid with interest.
Aisi Outdoor
In September 2007, Aisi acquired an outdoor advertising business and its
property assets in Kiev for a total consideration of $2.1m for the business and
associated property assets.
Aisi intends to grow this business organically through the addition of suitable
advertising sites and improving utilization of existing assets. Since
acquisition, the Company has met utilization targets, and has continued its
growth from adding new sites from its internally generated cash flow.
Completed Investments
In May 2007, the company sold Aisi Taurus with its 60.6% interest in
Tarasovskaya residential project for $3m, realizing net gain of $1.2m, and
Internal Rate of Return of 43%.

non-executive director of the Company. He has extensive experience in Central
and Eastern Europe and is a founding partner and executive director of Mezzanine
Management GmbH, the manager of Accession Mezzanine Capital, which is the
leading fund provider of subordinated debt to businesses in Central and Eastern
Europe.
Outlook and Pipeline

real estate market in Ukraine, particularly for development projects, remains
strong.

office sites for construction in Kiev, two office sites in Odessa, and six

On acquisitions dates and as at December 31, 2007, the property was valued by
DTZ Kiev B.V ('DTZ'), an external valuer. 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.

In October 2007, the Group entered into a Preliminary agreement with the
intention to subsequently enter on a Definitive Agreement for the purchase of
all the equity of an English property holding Group. A condition precedent for
concluding the above Agreement is the receipt of a satisfactory due diligence
report on compliance on UK and Ukrainian legislation. As part of this
transaction the Group has signed an Escrow Agreement and deposited US$1million
with the Bank of Cyprus who is acting as a Custodian in this transaction.
VAT is levied at a 20% rate on Ukrainian domestic sales and imports of goods,
works and services. A VAT credit is the amount that a taxpayer is entitled to
offset against its VAT liability in the reporting period. Rights to VAT credit
arise on the earlier of the date of payment to the supplier or from the date
when good are received.

21. 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

leases are as follows:

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.
