3 Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
The financial statements of the Company were approved by Management on March 10, 2008.
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, based on the determinations of the Brazilian Corporate Law and standards established by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM.
(a) The use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates to account for specific assets, liabilities and other transactions. Therefore, these financial statements include estimates for the selection of useful lives of property and equipment and for the provisions required for contingent liabilities, doubtful accounts and asset of deferred income tax. As these are estimates, actual results may differ in relation to the estimates upon the realization or settlement of the corresponding assets and liabilities.
(b) Determination of net income
Net income for the period is determined on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues and costs arise substantially from the operation of shopping malls. The Company records proportionally to its share in rents paid and corresponding costs passed on by the condominium association, based on the shareholding of the Company in these enterprises.

I have a degree in language and arts, a certificate of Proficiency in English taken in London and a translation course at the University of Westminster. Recently I have finished a two year course in Conference Interpreting at PUC Rio. I have 10 years of experience as a translator.
I have worked as an in house translator for an IT company, for a company in the education sector and for an audit and consulting firm. As a result I was granted an excellent grasp of different areas of knowledge.
Above all, my experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers broadened my interests so as to encompass a variety of areas such as finance, legal terms, complex businesses operations of all clients of the Co. I was in charge of translating reports, proposals, agreements and financial statements into English.
I am also familiar with environment, scientific and artistic terms as well as with other areas. I am most excited about learning more about related topics.
I have a multicultural background, excellent spoken, written and listening skills in English. I am a results orientated person, concerned about the flow of a job and its connection within a team. I am dedicated and committed to the job, focused on delivering a carefully crafted work. Above all I am forever interested in learning about all areas.
