The strong growth in both residential and commercial rental income was primarily due to the significant increase in assets owned by the Company, which has proceeded with numerous acquisitions in 2006. At 1 January 2007, the value of Group assets had increased by 65% in value compared to the Group structure at 1 January 2006.
At the same time, Management fees increased by 22%, thanks to the sustained level of activity of SCPIs managed by Paref Gestion (Pierre 48, Novapierre 1, Interpierre).
The decrease in revenue from the property dealing activity, non-strategic for PAREF Group, resulted from the completion of the sale of a building.( Note: building sales are now presented separately. 2006 financial statements have been restated accordingly).
PAREF recently launched a € 39 million share capital increase in two separate transactions. A prospectus filed with the AMF on 24 April 2007 and registered under number 07-134, comprising the PAREF reference document filed with the AMF on 24 April 2007 under number R.07-041 and the information note relating to the share capital increase with maintained pre-emption subscription right and the accompanying free share subscription warrant allocation is available on the PAREF website ( www.paref.com ), as well as on the AMF website ( www.amf-france.org ).
