The Group continues to pursue its asset concentration strategy, through both arbitrage and development of pipeline projects (creation, refurbishment and extension).
In late September, the Group delivered the eastern extension of Espace Gramont in Toulouse, thus completing refurbishment of this regional shopping center. Espace Gramont now features more than 110 shops and medium-size stores.
The next deliveries are scheduled for 2013:
In accordance with the strategy announced, Rue du Commerce continues to reorient its own-brand distribution model (mainly high-tech products) towards the general-merchandise centered marketplace ("Galerie Marchande"), which generates commissions on the revenues of merchants hosted on the site.

Cogedim reported a 20% decline in reservations for Q3 2012. Reservations are on track to recovery following a pronounced wait-and-see attitude early in the year due to election season in France (cumulated drop of 29% since early 2012).
The overall decrease in reservations can also be attributed to a reduction in sales to institutional investors compared to 2011 reservations, which were characterized by a high volume of sales to medical establishments in the Paris Region.

In a context of palpable uncertainty, Cogedim continues to manage its commitments, as well as the volume of properties for sale. At the same time, it maintains a pipeline sufficient to provide solutions suited to market developments in terms of both products and volume.
As a result of the current economic context that underscores the need for affordable housing and household solvency, recent launches have focused on entry-level and mid-scale products. These products accounted for half of properties for sale at 9/30/2012.
The stock of unsold completed apartments remained close to zero due to a rigorous risk management policy.
5 First-time homeowners and private investors
6 The pipeline is composed of revenues (incl. tax) of the properties for sale plus the land portfolio, which represents all the land under option (generally at purchaser's hand).
