During the first half of 2009, the company confronted the difficult conditions that have arisen in the East European markets. The consequences of the undergoing financial crisis are more than clear and they are depicted on the financial results of the real estate development companies. On the face of these events, it has been decided to shift the commencement of construction works of "Rodopolis" project in German, Bulgaria and the suspension of activities of the subsidiary company "Michaniki Belarus".
On the company's domestic construction sector during the first half of 2009, there were only a few tenders for new public projects, however a boost is expected to take place from the new projects that will be put on the bidding process, projects like the Metro extensions for the city of Athens and Thessaloniki, and supplemental road projects in Attica region as they are announced from the Ministry for the Environment, Physical Planning and Public Works. Michaniki S.A. has filled its interest and participation documents for the extension of Thessaloniki's Metro network. Moreover, the beginning of the National Strategic Reference Framework (ESPA) 2007-2013 will contribute to the increment of the company's backlog. Furthermore, it has been decided that the company will participate on the biddings for Public Private Partnership's infrastructure projects since the institutional environment of these construction projects is now mature and the company's involvement will yield revenues in the future.
The management of Michaniki S.A. continued the cutback of expenses in all areas of activities, the well-disciplined use of capital and the strict management of the sight accounts during the first half of 2009. In combination with the reduced cost of raw materials and services, the company is taking significant discounts on the construction of the real estate development projects abroad and by this way the stable course of business activities is secured. On this current context, the management of the company continued the purchase of own shares, supporting in deed the stock of the company.
