Summary Highlights Operating Results Lopes Itaú Joint Venture Financial Results

In addition, the acquisition of Patrimóvel, (a large brokerage company based in Rio de Janeiro), gave the Company absolute leadership in that market. In an unprecedented transaction in the real estate market, in 2007 Lopes and Banco Itaú agreed to a joint venture that will permit both companies to operate jointly in the Brazilian real estate financing market. 4Q07 contracted sales totaled R$2.2 billion, an increase by 147% from 4Q06, where revenues from contracted sales in the São Paulo market accounted for R$1.7 billion, in the Rio de Janeiro market accounted for R$330.5 million and in other state markets accounted for R$ 268.6 million.  Contracted sales for 2007 amounted to R$5.2 billion, an increase by 83% from 2006, with the São Paulo operations having accounted for R$4.3 billion, Rio de Janeiro operations for R$625.7 million and other state markets for  R$359.8 million.

Two seasonality components: Natural variation in sales related to holidays or vacation periods over the year.  The first quarter is more significantly affected by summer vacations and the week of Carnival celebrations. Variations in sales stemming from the sales pipeline in the real estate development market, in which projects launched are subject to licensing and permit requirements, which account for significant distortions in a quarter-over-quarter comparison. Contracted Sales Seasonality Unstable sales behavior in each quarter accounts for variations in yearly sales
