However, we have refocused our growth strategy, remain debt-free and intend to complete our first commercial project in the fourth quarter of this year, which should start generating cash in Q1 2010. As a result, we remain well-placed to take advantage of the long-term drivers in the Ukrainian real estate market once the economic uncertainty dissipates and market fundamentals regain momentum.”
