For the first nine months of this year revenues decreased by US$ 53.9 million to US$ 27.9 million, which represents a 66% decline compared to the same period in 2004. The reason for the decrease is the continued high level of work in progress which resulted in no sales of completed premises during the reporting period.

Retail

Revenues for the retail business more than doubled to US$ 103.1 million, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 from US$ 50.9 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was mostly generated by revenues of our new retail outlets retail outlet npunto de venta

The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  Generally Accepted Accounting Principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting
 (US GAAP), as well as other non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered as an addition to, but not as a substitute for, information prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

OIBDA is operating income before depreciation and amortization and the OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA as a percentage of net revenues. These measures are included in this results statement in order to provide additional information regarding the Group's ability to meet future debt service payments, capital expenditure and working capital requirements Capital requirements

Financing required for the operation of a business, composed of long-term and working capital plus fixed assets.
, and as a metric to evaluate profitability. OIBDA is not a measure of financial performance under US GAAP, and is not an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, these items primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation The apportionment or designation of an item for a specific purpose or to a particular place.

In the law of trusts, the allocation of cash dividends earned by a stock that makes up the principal of a trust for a beneficiary usually means that the dividends will be treated as
 of costs arising from the acquisition or development of long term assets in prior periods. OIBDA is commonly used as a criterion for evaluation of operating performance by credit and equity investors and analysts. The calculation of OIBDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and comparability may therefore be limited. OIBDA can be reconciled to the Group's consolidated statements as follows:
