Report 2006
The Aldesa Group closed the 2006 financial year in an entirely positive economic position, the year representing milestone in terms of the growth experienced, showing that our group inspires confidence and is
perfectly capable of handling projects of any scale and complexity.
The Group’s results for the past year show that our construction business continued the positive, upward
trend of previous years, and that in addition our affiliates continued to make a significant contribution to
earnings and increasing value.
Letter from the
Chairman
The keys to the continued success in our construction business can be found in two factors, added to the
buoyant economic situation in the country. One of these is our ability to adapt to, understand and meet the
extraordinary demand in the sector, which comes both from an increase in demand for residential construction and the general policy of the authorities to develop the country’s transport infrastructure. The second
is our focus on business management, based on appropriate contracting for projects, the efficient management of schedules and the ongoing search for improvements to processes.
Over the past year, Aldesa has consolidated its position as the tenth construction group in Spain, although
we are now in eighth place in Civil Engineering and in ninth in Building.
Our forecasts for 2007 point to increasing turnover due mainly to contracts won over the last year, amounting to 988 million euros. Furthermore, our country is currently experiencing extraordinary levels of transport
infrastructure development, including the construction of new High Speed Train Lines, the plan to renovate
the first generation of motorways and investment in metropolitan light railways by local authorities. These
initiatives mean that Aldesa will be working in close collaboration with a range of public bodies throughout
Spain.
Three years ago, as part of our ongoing commitment to growth and adding value to the Group, the Company
committed itself to diversifying its construction business, which currently accounts for 16% of the Group’s
revenue. Our plans for the next four years include an increase in revenue from our affiliates and getting a
foothold in new related strategic business, to increase diversification to 25% of the Group total. As a result,
in addition to Construction and Concessions, the Group now has four further divisions which focus on Installation and Assembly, Energy, Real estate and Services.
In 2006, the construction company PAI and the Ingesa Group were added to the Group’s Construction and
Concessions Division; to strengthen our position in Installations we bought ACISA and the companies Meyvat,
Suelin and Electro Valencia, through the AMS Group. Furthermore, the commitment to renewable energies led
us to acquire the Tharsis wind farm and the company Prealsa. In addition, we have incorporated new companies, such as Concentra, which is dedicated to Facility Management services as part of our Services sector
operations, and Aldesa Turismo, mainly devoted to the construction and operation of a tourist development
in Mexico. At this point, I should mention our strong commitment to international development, as we are
involved in construction projects in various European Union countries.
Finally, I would once again like to recognise the great efforts made by each and every person working for the
Aldesa Group, whose invaluable professionalism is vital to us meeting the challenges that we face on a daily
basis and consolidating our organisation. Likewise, I would like to give my sincere thanks to the financial
institutions, insurance companies, suppliers, subcontractors and, of course, our private clients and the Public
Authorities which have continued to show their confidence in us.

Aldesa Group
Report 2006
In 2005, Aldesa developed a strategic plan
having the main goals of doubling the
Group’s billing to reach 1,100 million euros
in 2008 as well as increasing EBITDA to 63
million euros.
Said plan has three strategic planks:
Strategy
- Continued growth in the Construction sector until turnover is doubled, placing particular emphasis on civil engineering, and
business development through both organic
growth and the acquisition of value-creating
company. Particularly important in this area
is the importance we place in bidding for
tenders as the future pillar of the construction business.
- The creation of three new business divisions:
Real Estate, Energy and Services, which in turn
are contributing significantly to the Group’s
growth.
- The pursuit of organic growth and an acquisition plan for the Installation and Assembly Division, and getting a foothold in sectors
which offer synergies with the construction
sector in order to offer the client a more
comprehensive solution, to obtain greater
growth and ensure our ability to win con-
With the acquisitions made by the Group, and
based on forecast results, it is highly possible
that the objectives set for 2008 will be met
a year early.
It should be pointed out that, despite the
significant investment made, net corporate
cash flow has barely decreased, having fallen
from 148 million euros in 2005 to 140 million euros at the end of 2006. As a result the
Aldesa Group’s balance sheet remains very
healthy, with considerable financial capacity
for exploiting new business opportunities as
they arise.
In addition to the strategic growth plan, the
company is committed to the implementation of a group management model which
guarantees the effective integration of the
acquisition plan which is being carried out.
Meanwhile, we should not forget the integration into said model of our environmental and social responsibilities through the
commitments undertaken by every company
within the Aldesa Group.

Aldesa Group
Report 2006
The Aldesa Group reported consolidated revenue of EUR 772.9 million in 2006, disregarding other companies not included in the
scope of consolidation, implying a 26% rise
on the EUR 613.3 million production figure
reached the year before.
Group
Results
Consolidated revenue, considering the entire
accounting period of the companies acquired
in 2006 totalled EUR 895 million, up 46% on
2005, with EBITDA of EUR 60 million, which
is 58% higher than in 2005.
The figure achieved in 2006 consolidates the
Group in the tenth position of the Spanish
construction industry and enables it to be
ranked number eight in Civil Engineering
Works (gained in 2004) and number nine in
Building Construction. It is number one in the
National Association of Independent Builders
(ANCI), of which it was a founder member.
At year end, the backlog exceeded EUR 1,341
million, which guarantees very competitive
growth with respect to the industry average.
The significant growth of the Aldesa Group
–which was much higher than that of the
overall construction industry in Spain- was
due to organic growth and, especially, to the
acquisition and integration of new companies in the Group.
ted 50.3% of the Group’s total production.
Secondly, they concentrated on major civil
engineering contracts, mainly with various
Public Authorities, which account for 33.6%
of the overall total. Last but not least was the
ever greater presence of the Group in activities other than construction, such as real
estate development, applied engineering,
water treatment and infrastructure maintenance and operations, which accounted for
the remaining 16.1%.

EBITDA increased to 50.4 million euros, representing a margin of 6.5% of turnover, evidence of the excellent management of the
Group in recent years and 32.5% higher than
in the previous year. Despite greater profitability in areas other than construction (with
levels approaching 10%), the costs of acquisitions and integration of new subsidiaries
resulted in a relative decline in the percentage of income, from 6.7% individual to 6.5%
on a consolidated basis. It is forecast that in
Diversification towards new activities gained
speed in 2006. This was evidenced by the
performance of the contracted backlog (nonconstruction) which rose from EUR 12 million
in 2005 to EUR 119 million in 2006. Construction activities have also been bolstered
by the acquisition of construction companies
located in geographical areas in which Aldesa traditionally had a small presence and/or
which perform key stages of the production
process which it previously subcontracted.
In 2006 the Group’s activities were focused,
first of all, on projects carried out for private
clients (basically residential, commercial and
industrial building projects), which represen-

2007, when the integration process of the
subsidiaries has been completed, EBITDA will
see significant growth. Net income was 29.1
million euros, 10% higher than the figure for
the previous year.
Depreciation and amortisation increased by
232.7%, from 1.9 million euros in 2005 to 6.5
million euros in 2006. This was due mainly to
the accelerated depreciation of a tunnelling
machine purchased for the San Pedro high
speed railway project in Madrid province, and
the integration of machinery intensive subsidiaries, such as Ingesa.
Financial income for the year was 2.16 million
euros, a fall of 24.77% compared to 2005.
However, investments in the year exceeded
100 million euros, with the acquisition of
companies accounting for around 70%
of this total figure, with the remaining
30% accounted by the acquisition of land,
various items of machinery and productive
equipment.
In this respect, it is worth mentioning hat
three years ago, Aldesa implemented a
growth strategy through the incorporation

of new companies into the Group and the
diversification of its businesses and investments into businesses both distinct from
and, on one occasion, complementing, the
construction business. As a result, the Group
is sufficiently solvent to face any changes in
market trends, in particular in the area of
public works due to the ending of European
funds in 2007, which will affect the structure
of construction demand in Spain in the coming years.
and the companies Meyvat, Suelin and
Electro Valencia, through the AMS Group.
In addition, it incorporated new companies,
such as Concentra, which is dedicated to the
services and maintenance sector (cleaning,
real estate and installation maintenance,
gardening, security and auxiliary services),
which is now part of the Group’s Services
division; Aldesa Turismo, mainly dedicated to
the construction and operation of a tourist
development in Mexico; and Aldesa Polska,
which is dedicated to the development of
real estate projects in Central and Eastern
Europe.
As a result of its business performance, the
Group’s equity increased to 83.5 million
euros, an increase of 42.65% on the 58.5
million euros recorded in 2005.

Following the incorporation of new
companies into the Group, the business has
been divided into five divisions: Construction
and Concessions, Installation and Assembly,
Real Estate, Energy and Services. In 2006,
Aldesa acquired the Catalan construction
company PAI and the Ingesa Group, which
is involved in special foundations and
geotechnical reconnaissance. In addition,
the Group has committed itself to the
strategic business of alternative energy
by purchasing the Tharsis wind farm from
Gamesa Energía and acquiring 100% of
the company Sociedad Promociones Eólicas
del Altiplano (Prealsa). The Installation and
Assembly division was strengthened through

Construction was particularly booming in
2006 since it accounted for 17.8% of total
GDP in Spain, created 186,000 new jobs and
employed over 2.5 million people, almost 8%
more than in 2005. This figure confirms the
growth trend in employment over the last
four years. In fact, one of the factors which
ascertain the importance of the industry in
the Spanish economy as a whole is the multiplication in job creation. i.e. for each direct
job, 0.44 jobs are created in related industries.
In 2006 the volume of public tenders amounted to EUR 46,690 million, almost 19%
higher than in the previous year. 68.8% of
this volume relates to civil engineering works,
in which particular mention should be made
to the transport industry compared to 2005,
and 31.2% relates to building construction,
where the most significant increase was recorded in the social infrastructure segment.
As regards the General Government, which
launched tenders for construction projects
totalling EUR 15,769 million, the Ministry of
Public Works ended the year with the award
of contracts amounting to EUR 11,120 million, up 18.7% on 2005. It should be noted
that the Ministry of the Environment increased its public tenders by 124%, contributing
5.75% to the General Government total. The

construction sector in Europe has not contracted in any of the last 13 years; nevertheless, there were two periods of stagnation,
the most recent of which was between 2001
and 2003. Since this trough, the sector has
enjoyed a period of recovery, with 2006 seeing the highest level of growth at 3.2%.
The division of activity by sub sectors shows
that building represents 75% of total production, compared to 24% for civil engineering,
an increase of 5.4% and 7.5% respectively
compared to production in 2005.
In 2006, civil engineering showed at the same
rate of expansion as in recent years, as the
constant growth in the transport infrastructure market was supplemented by increased
in water infrastructure. Public tenders for
water projects increased by 50% compared
to the previous year, while there was an increase of 19.4% in the transport segment.

show that this was not the case, or at least
the impact was not sufficient to put a brake

Experts consider that the real estate market will enjoy robust health and predict it to
continue in the coming years; accordingly,
there should be no need to consider the risks
that would result from a sudden deceleration
in investment in real estate in our country.
Furthermore, experts consider that the socalled “real estate bubble” is not in reality a
bubble, and that the most probable scenario is a correction of the market as long as
current favourable economic conditions in
the country continue. In fact, in 2006, the
price of empty real estate per square metre
increased by 9.1% compared to 2005, compared to increases in previous years of 11.1%
and 17.3%. As a result, it will be necessary
for the economy to maintain a growth rate
of around 3.5% in the coming years as a result of employment and demand for housing
from the immigrant population. Based on
these factors, companies in the sector are
committing themselves to foreign markets,
and in particular to countries in Eastern
Europe, taking advantage of the benefits
of the relative immaturity of these markets,
significant tax benefits and the positive im-
pact on their economies of entry into the
European Union.

the building sector are continued growth in
the area of residential real estate, despite the
effect of the Technical Building Code (Código
Técnico de Edificación) and the recovery of
the non-residential building sub sector due
to private demand. The key to the civil engineering sector continues to be activity driven
by regional authorities through public tendering and the concession model.

Report 2006
Conditions in other sectors where the
Aldesa Group operates
As a natural development of its construction
activity, the Aldesa Group has been becoming progressively more involved in one of
the most active sectors in Spain, the real estate sector. Despite a slowdown in this business, due to factors such as slower increases
in house prices and declining sales (in particular with regard to existing housing stock),
figures from the Housing Ministry show that
in the country as a whole over 900,000 properties were sold, almost 6% more than in
2005. As a result, the total number of homes
in Spain amounted to 24.6 million in 2006,
an increase of 3.5% on the previous year. This
trend could have been influenced by factors
such as the acquisition of real estate by the
immigrant population, a reduction in average
family size and the demand for second homes
by foreign nationals, in particular from Great
Britain and Germany.
In addition, in 2006 the Aldesa Group made
a strong commitment to the wind energy
sector. Spain is currently a global leader
in the development of this energy source, based on production figures for recent
years, which now exceed those for hydraulic
power, with 11,615 Mw of power generated
in 2006. In terms of Autonomous Communities, Galicia, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y
Leon and Aragon easily exceeded 1,000 Mw
of installed wind farm potential in 2006,
whilst Murcia and the Balearic Islands did
not reach 100 Mw.
According to the Wind Energy Association
(Asociación de Energía Eólica), this sector generates 36,000 jobs directly, invests around
2,000 million euros on an annual basis and
saved the emission of 16 million tonnes of
CO2 in 2006.
The 2005-2010 Renewable Energy Plan
approved in Spain has set a challenge for the
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
The keys to this growth are strong residential
demand, both domestically and internationally for first and second homes, together with
the acquisition strategy for companies related to the construction sector.
The Aldesa Group operates in this sector

contributing major added value to the projects developed by the Group.

sector, as it establishes the need to develop
over the next few years the same capacity
as that which has accumulated historically. Hydroelectric power from large dams
and wind power is hoped to provide 30% of
electrical power in Spain by 2010. This plan
assigns a key role to wind power, intended
to provide double the capacity of hydroelectric power, targets being set at 45.5 Tw/h
and 25 Tw/h respectively, making them large scale energy producers. Within the European Union, problems relating to increasing
fuel prices and security of supply will have
an increasing influence on the promotion of
renewable energy and, in particular, the development of wind power.
CONSTRUCTION AND CONCESSIONS
The basic construction and concession business carried out by the Aldesa Group include both Civil Engineering and Building. In
2006, the first of these represented 33.6% of
the Group’s business and the second 50.3%.
Whilst Civil Engineering continues to be a
basic pillar of the Group, Building has continuously grown over the years to its current
levels, showing considerable growth in 2006.
Aldesa complements its general construction
activities with specialisation in the railway
industry through the company Coalvi, which
has its headquarters in Zaragoza. In 2003,
this company was fully integrated into the
Aldesa Group, contributing its specialisation
in railway projects (track, electrification,
tunnels, and infrastructure) and increasing
turnover through substantial investment
in heavy track machinery. In addition to its
railway construction, repair and maintenance activities, Coalvi is also involved in the
road sector, hydraulic projects and one-off
projects of all kinds. The company owns a
wide range of specialised heavy machinery
for various types of work involving track and
overhead power cables, which require continual renovation and expansion, and plans
to acquire new equipment with a value of
around 20 million euros in the coming years.
In 2006 it generated revenue of 30.8 million
euros, 39% more than in the previous year.
Proacon, which has its head offices in Seville, was created by Aldesa in 2006 to carry
out underground work for Aldesa, replacing
the specialist companies that the Group
had previously contracted for this type of
work. Proacon’s business includes building
and civil engineering, and it is involved in
real estate development projects, such as
the Águilas Residencial project. Its 2007
business plan includes offering individual
projects throughout the whole country as
a company which specialises in tunnels and
large channels. In the last year, Proacon invested over one million euros in machinery.

The headquarters of the Ingesa Group are in
Madrid and it was incorporated into the Aldesa Group in 2006. It complements the construction business with specialist foundations
and geotechnical reconnaissance, mainly for
the parent company. The implementation in
2006 of new pile driving equipment, for both
Building and Civil Engineering, has, together
with the growth of traditional businesses, resulted in 26% growth in turnover compared
to the previous year.
In 2006, the Aldesa Group also acquired Construccions PAI, a company with a long experience in residential building, and which is
based in Barcelona. During this period it was
incorporated into the Civil Engineering segment, which will result in growth of around
30% in 2007. Another objective for this year is
to expand the portfolio of private clients with
major real estate developers. Construccions
PAI’s turnover in 2006 was 86.3 million euros,
46% higher than in 2005, which makes it one
of the major medium sized construction companies in Catalonia.

other projects carried out in 2006, this company was involved in maintenance work on a

involved the participation of Maquivías
which, prior to the work being carried out,
manufactured four levelling gantries which

solenoid valves.
In addition, work began on the Riera de Riudecanyes-Barranco Les Paisanes stretch of
the rail connection for the Mediterranean
corridor of the Madrid-Barcelona high speed
rail line connection for the Railways Division
of the Public Works Ministry. The project includes the construction of 6 km of banking
for the high speed rail line, eight viaducts
and a station at Cambrils (Tarragona).
Aldesa won various contracts in 2006 for
projects related to High Speed Rail Lines including, among others, the construction of
banking for several stretches, including the
new high speed rail access Madrid-Castilla La Mancha- Valencia region–Murcia region. ADIF awarded a 10.86 km stretch from
Cuenca-Olalla to the joint venture formed
by Aldesa, Proacon and Areinsa Arquitectos
e Ingenieros. The project includes the cons-

High Speed Line Atlantic Axis
truction of a tunnel of over 2 km in length
and four viaducts. In addition, it will build
the 5.7 km long Novelda-Monforte del Cid
sub-stretch in Alicante for ADIF.
The joint venture with Corsan-Corviam was
awarded a 3.45 km urban stretch from the
Pocomaco industrial estate in La Coruña to
San Cristóbal station; this will enable high
speed trains to enter the city from the Atlantic route. This stretch forms part of the
Zamora-La Coruña rail line, and the project
includes the doubling of the current line.

Coalvi, which in 2006 resulted in the construction in the Hortaleza area in Madrid of
new depots for rolling stock from the Line 1
underground line for Madrid Council. These
depots can house up to 33 trains consisting
of 6 carriages each, and consist of a set of 19
lines, 12 of which are for parking the trains
and the remaining seven are for maintenance, together with a 4,300 m2 building for the
workshops, offices and other uses.
In 2006, in a joint venture with the company
MAN, from the Balearic Islands, Aldesa worked on Phase III of the Palma-Universidad
stretch of the Balearic Islands underground
rail line, which was put out to tender by
Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca. The stretch
awarded to Aldesa’s joint venture is 3.5 km
long (practically half the length of the new
underground line) and the project also includes construction of the Son Sardina and
Universidad stations. Another project in 2006
involved a joint venture with the company
Romymar for the Regional Government of
Valencia on the Orriols (Valencia) line, co-
Aldesa, with Coalvi, was chosen by the public
company Zaragoza Alta Velocidad 2002 to
construct the 5.3 km long Eastern Connection
of the Extension of Zaragoza South Circular
Rail line, and the structures required for this
to cross the high speed rail line at different
levels. The structures which will be built under the two lines consist of two underpasses
in the form of frameworks prefabricated on
site. The Ingesa group is also involved in work
on the piles for this project.

In the last year, the joint venture involving
Aldesa and Coalvi and the local companies El
Partal and Vialobra won a contract from GIASA (Gestión de Infraestructuras de Andalucía
S.A.), a public sector body which reports to
the Andalusian regional government, for civil engineering work on five stretches of the
future light rail line in Granada, between Albolote and Maracena. The stretch to be completed is entirely above ground and is 3.44
km long. A new car park with space for 296
vehicles will be built next to the Juncaril station in order to facilitate the use of this new
public transport system in the city.
Roads and Motorways
Aldesa carried out several conventional rail
projects for various public administration bodies. Among these, one of the major projects

doubling of the carriageway on the Jerez de
la Frontera-Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cadiz)
road, a 13 km stretch which will convert this
road into the A-480 motorway.
One unique project was the remodelling of
the link between the M-30 ring road and
Avenida de América (A-2) in Madrid, for the
public body Madrid Calle 30, S.A. which reports to the city council. This was the first
work on the M-30 to come into service following twelve months of execution under
extremely difficult conditions resulting from
the heavy traffic on this road. Even so, the
project was completed almost three months
ahead of schedule. The project basically comprised two new bridges, with spans of 65 and
55 metres over the M-30, two tunnels of 35
and 45 metres under the A-2 and a third, 25
metre long, tunnel to provide access to Arturo Soria Street. The total area affected was
340,000 m2, of which 285,000 was road and
55,000 land which required environmental
treatment of some description.
In addition, Aldesa took part in the construction of two stretches of the A-8 Cantabria
motorway in Asturias: Novellana-Ballota and
Ballota-Cadavedo, with a combined length
Bridge over Umia River on the Pontearnelas Variant

Road lane duplication on the A-480 Jerez- Sanlúcar

of around 10 km. The project consisted of
the construction of a new road parallel to
the existing one, with the execution of new
earthworks, improvements to links, crossings
at different levels, duplication of a false 200
metre long tunnel and seven viaducts to
overcome the difficult terrain in Asturias.
Of particular interest, and also particularly
spectacular, is the extension of the surface of
the Pintor Fierros viaduct, which comprises
an arch with a 194 metre span, where traffic
was not affected by the work due to a six
metre wide carriageway being kept open.

to work as smoothly as possible. The project

Aldesa Group
Report 2006
In 2007 Aldesa will continue to undertake
various important public sector projects,
some of the most important of which are
construction of the Polytechnic University
of Valencia’s library and the new Courts in
El Vendrell (Tarragona) and Manresa (Barcelona). Aldesa and PAI won the tender for
the Concession of Surface Rights awarded by
GISA for the construction and maintenance services for both these developments for
a period of 27 years. The total area of the
Manresa and El Vendrell court buildings will
be 15,545 m2 and 10,131 m2, respectively.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
The Aldesa Group’s Installation and Assembly
division includes a range of highly qualified
and specialised affiliates.
The AMS Group, which has its registered
headquarters in Mairena de Aljarafe (Seville),
specialises in applied engineering, electrical
installations, telecommunications, climate
control and security and communications
infrastructure. The company has broad
experience in undertaking large scale
projects, such as electronic signs for the Sierra
Electro Valencia Headquarters
33
Nevada motorway access, instrumentation
for the Aceca Toledo combined cycle plant
for Iberdrola, control equipment for the
production line of the Citroën factory in Vigo,
and the installation of a fibre optic network
for the Metro Sur rail development in Madrid,
among others.
In 2006 it acquired a number of companies:
Electro Valencia, which is located in the Valencia region, and Meyvat and Suelin, both of
which have their headquarters in La Llagosta
(Barcelona), are dedicated to the installation
and maintenance of electricity distribution
networks, transformer and interconnection
stations, the electrification of industrial buildings, electrical cogeneration, photovoltaic
solar energy and fire detection and fighting
installations. Another important development
for the AMS Group in 2006 was the development of a new business division, Instalaciones
Fotovoltaicas, which has already signed important project contracts. The turnover of the
AMS Group in 2006 was 42.5 million euros.
Maquivías, with headquarters in Alcalá de
Henares (Madrid), and 100% owned by Aldesa, has established itself as a benchmark in
its sector in Spain. It carries out design and
construction activities for standard and custom auxiliary machinery and the laying and
maintenance of railway lines, and this supports the railway projects in which Aldesa
Construcciones and Coalvi are involved. Important events in the year for this company
include the signing of a contract with Fenoco
(the Northern Colombia Railway Body) for the
supply of five tamping machines and auxiliary
equipment.
In 2006, Maquivías’ turnover was 3.3 million
euros, an increase of 36.7% compared to
the figure for 2005. The company’s strategic
objectives include extending its activities to
countries in Eastern Europe, Latin America
(machinery has been sold to Chile and Colombia in recent years) and to the Far East,
China in particular. As a result of this major
expansion programme, in 2006 the company

ENERGY
The Aldesa Group operates in the energy
sector though its subsidiary Aldesa Energías
Renovables, which is responsible for managing all business related to alternative energies: the promotion, design, construction and
operation of renewable energy projects. At
the close of 2006, Aldesa Energías Renovables was involved in the promotion of wind
farm projects and thermo-solar and photovoltaic installations throughout the country.
Nevertheless it is currently considering new
opportunities outside Spain (Eastern Europe and Latin America) and other interesting
projects in the biocombustible and biomass
fields.
This new subsidiary, incorporated in 2006
and having its headquarters in Madrid, is
playing its part in the diversification strategy the company has undertaken in recent
years. This has strengthened the position of

three years.
SERVICES
In 2006, the Aldesa Group entered the Services and Maintenance segment through a
subsidiary operating under the Concentra
trademark. This business is based in Madrid
and carries out Facility Services: cleaning
activities, such as general cleaning, window
cleaning, cleaning of surfaces at altitude,
building and installation maintenance, gardening, security and auxiliary services.
The key to the future success of this new
company is the current trend in the business
world towards the outsourcing of activities
which are outside the scope of the core
business, resulting reduction of costs, the
growing power of multi-service companies
in the market, and the centralisation of all
such services in a single supplier.
Concentra signed its first continuity contract with Madrid’s Funeral Services Company (Empresa Mixta de Servicios Funerarios de Madrid), to provide daily cleaning
services for offices and buildings in the Sur,
Carabanchel and La Almudena cemeteries,
together with the cleaning of surfaces in
the morgues of these cemeteries. The contract was awarded by tender and will last
for three years.

RESPONSIBILITY
Corporate
Responsibility
Report
The Aldesa Group has been working for many
years to make its economic development
compatible with the integration of environmental and social concerns into its business
model. The growth and diversification experienced by the company in recent years
means that it is necessary to pay ever closer
attention to the consequences of its activities having an impact on society.
The Aldesa Group has set a series of strategic
Corporate Responsibility targets, which range from the application of R+D+I projects
on building sustainability and the improvement in quality of life for dependant people,
to investment in renewable energy and waste management to encourage recycling, and
the extension of the safety in the workplace
plan to employees of subcontractors.
The Group’s Corporate Responsibility strategy, which is contained in its slogan “Building
confidence” is based on a range of corporate
values which cover all levels of the organisation, and which go beyond mere image,
and represent a real commitment to all interest groups: clients, employees, partners,
suppliers, subcontractors, users and society
in general.
fied technical personnel in all business areas.
The basic pillars of the Company’s Human
Resources policy include internal promotion
and specialist training.
39
High levels of safety in the workplace.
Safety is one Aldesa’s key commitments
and underlies every activity in which it is
involved, being understood to be an integral aspect of production. The company is
committed to safety and prevention of risk
in the workplace, and has drawn up a series of commitments and guidelines which
must be complied with by all employees,
and which make them active participants in
safety management.
Application of sustainability and new
construction technology. Aldesa has the capacity to use the most advanced techniques
when carrying out its projects, and carefully
selects the most appropriate technology. In
addition, it studies a range of technological
options to improve construction methods,
paying particular attention to efficient processes and sustainable building.
These values are applied through a range of
management systems and divisions which
are responsible for the implementation of
the corresponding policies and action plans
for effective compliance with all such commitments.
A commitment to highly qualified technical
Human Resources. Aldesa is well aware that
its success has been enabled by the people
who work for it. As a result, the inclusion of

Compliance with the strictest quality requirements. For over a decade now, Aldesa has
been certifying its quality management, thus
ensuring customer satisfaction and compliance with their requirements, as well as legislation and regulations on the reduction of
accidents, and establishing a framework for
continuous improvement in the company’s
processes. Aldesa’s quality policy includes

202 have management or oversight responsibilities, 178 occupy administrative roles and
the remaining 527 are general staff.
Strict compliance with agreed delivery
deadlines. No detail is omitted in the planning required for each project, and if the
periodic checks on progress detect even the
slightest issue which could cause delay, the
company will increase the workforce assigned on the job and shift patterns. As a result,
Aldesa meets agreed handover deadlines in
98% of cases.
These recent additions to the Group have
contributed to the expansion of its business
scope, together with the possibilities for
professional development and internal promotion and it is precisely this development
which brings with it the need for ongoing recruitment of professional staff in all areas of
the Company’s business.
Respecting the Environment. Aldesa’s environmental policy places particular emphasis
on prevention and continuous improvement
in the company’s environmental behaviour.
Since 2000, Aldesa has held ISO 14001:2004
certification for Environmental Management
from AENOR; this certifies compliance with
the applicable environmental legislation and
together with the use of processes which reduce and control pollution.
HUMAN RESOURCES
What differentiates the Aldesa Group from
the competition is its workforce. In 2006,
the Group increased its workforce to 2,820
employees, of whom around 1,000 are
technicians with mid or high level qualifications, whilst the remainder are operators
and people with no specialist qualifications;
this is an increase of 68% compared to the
previous year.
Of the total number of employees, 1,301 are
employed by the Group’s affiliates, and 1,519
are employed by the Company, of whom 612

This substantial growth in the total number of
Group employees compared with 2005 is due
to the incorporation of the companies acquired during the last year: PAI, Electro Valencia,
Meyvat and Suelin, which together brought
around 800 employees to the Group.
With regard to its future employees, both in
respect of its policy on scholarships and attracting professional personnel with experience, Aldesa seeks professionalism, dedication and leadership. Its Human Resources
policy involves the creation of value for the
company and its personnel, through welcome plans, continuous training, internal
development and promotion and incentive
systems.
of its teams. In 2006, the number of grants
awarded by the Company increased to 53, and
15% of those who received grants went on to
receive a contract.
HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE
WORKPLACE
The Company’s greatest asset is its people,
and as a result Health and Safety is key to
all it does, and is as important as profitability, quality and production. Aldesa’s commitments and guidelines related to the prevention of risks in the workplace are contained
in the Health and Safety Policy, which makes
the whole organisation responsible for safety
management.
Training and university grants
The knowledge and experience of the
Company’s team is continuously strengthened by the Training Programmes being offered on an ongoing basis by the company, and
aimed at technical training in subjects such
as Health and Safety, IT, Quality and the Environment, Management Skills, and so on.
In 2006, the foundation was laid for continued reduction in accident rates to reach
a final target of “Zero Accidents”. Accident
rates in 2006 were down considerable, with
a Frequency Index of 42 and a Seriousness Index of 0.45, which are well below the average
for the construction sector in Spain.
In 2006, over 250 training courses were given
to over 600 people, covering a wide range of
subjects related to construction quality, environmental management, prevention of risks
at work, site management, information technology, management skills and other specialist courses. The total amount invested in this
training was over 200,000 euros, and involved a total of 5,862 hours of training.
The Aldesa Group’s Human Resources policy
is fundamentally based on internal development. One of its main goals is to involve students in the final years of their academic study as part of the Annual Grants Plan. In recent
years, over 200 students have benefited from
this Programme, of which over 40 have gone
on to be hired by the company to join one

One of the main activities in this regard is
the development and implementation of the
Health and Safety Management System, in
accordance with OHSAS 18.001 specifications. AENOR certification was attained in
May 2007, and was awarded to both Aldesa Construcciones and Coalvi. In addition,
another relevant event was the Legal Audit
carried out on all companies in the Aldesa
Group and which form part of the Joint Prevention Service.
As part of the Health and Safety Plan for
each project, Aldesa establishes a Safety
Plan which must be approved by the safety coordinator before the workplace can be
opened. In addition, each project must have
its own health and safety file containing all
documentation relating to the prevention of
risks, together with a folder for controlling
subcontractors. It should be mentioned in
this regard that Health and Safety Committees also act as a communication channel
between Aldesa and subcontractors, in which
actions, time frames and those responsible
for each issue are jointly defined.
Another preventative action introduced by
Aldesa has been Site Safety Visits. These visits
aim to find any anomalies relating to accident prevention so that they can advise the
In addition, Aldesa understands that training
workers in the risks they are exposed to in
their job is not only a legal requirement, but
also a priority. As a result, in addition to an
initiation course for all workers on the dangers of the project, Aldesa gives specific courses on risks or activities (working at heights,
loads, excavations, etc) together with basic
courses on the Prevention of Risks in the
Workplace.
To promote the prevention of risks in areas
with the highest risk, such as for example on
the sites where the company carries out its
productive activity, Aldesa has established an
annual Safety in Civil Engineering Prize and
a Building Safety Prize; these prizes assess up
to 10 parameters, such as documentation,
individual and collective protection, organisation, cleanliness, fines, etc. The sum of the
points scored on these parameters demonstrates the interest taken in meeting safety
regulations on the job. Any job which has
been fined by the Health and Safety Authorities will be disqualified.
The IV Safety Prizes were awarded in 2006
and recognised the work of the teams involved in the following projects: The Civil Engineering First Prize went to the AVE Requena
(Valencia) high speed rail line joint venture,
and the Building First Prize went to the Viviendas Vega project (Almería); the second
prize for Building went to the Viviendas de
Sabadell project (Barcelona).

Aldesa Group
Report 2006
In order to meet the requirements of this
standard, Aldesa draws up an Environmental Management Plan for each job which,
in addition to identifying and evaluating
the environmental issues generated by activities on the job (waste, atmospheric emissions, noise, etc), identifies the applicable
environmental legislation and ensures full
compliance with all such legislation and regulations by the Company itself and its subcontractors, and establishes an objective for
environmental improvement.
In addition, the Group establishes direct environmental improvement actions for each
of its projects, by setting environmental
objectives. The main impact of construction
work is the quantity of inert waste generated (those materials which are not physically,

chemically or biologically transformed in any
way), such as the material from excavations
or demolition, rubble, wood and scrap metal.
As part of its environmental commitment,
the Company is working to reduce continuously the amount of such waste that is sent to
landfill sites.
The Company seeks alternatives, such as recycling on the job itself by looking at other
options to the original plans; or, in the case of
excavations, sending the material excavated
to other projects which require earth, thus
avoiding the need for new quarries. Another
alternative to depositing waste in a landfill

which, whether because of the topography
of the terrain or because of their use, are not
appropriate for farming. In such cases, following flattening, depositing and conditioning
of the layers of material left over from the
job, the land can subsequently be used by its
owner for farming purposes. Waste wood and
metal is handed over to authorised bodies for
recycling.
To practically implement these policies, Aldesa has drawn up various good practice manuals which are given to the relevant workers.
The Company also shares its environmental
concerns with its suppliers and other companies it works with, particularly when their
activities could have a significant impact on
the job, ensuring that their employees have
the appropriate training and environmental
awareness to carry out their tasks.
As a result of all these actions, the Company
set itself a target of recycling over 20% of
waste material from excavations and demolitions between 2004 and 2006; by July 2006 it
had achieved 45.48%, involving the recycling
of around 4,198,000 m3 of waste material.

potentially dangerous for health and the Environment, such as empty spray, paint, resin,
foam and silicate containers, and waste from
machines, such as brake oil, filters, used oil,
etc – are separated and managed for each job
by companies authorised by the competent
authorities. To this end, exclusive areas are
set aside on site for the storage of such waste
materials, which are signposted and labelled
for each type of “RP” (Dangerous Waste).
In addition, in order to ensure that there is
no spillage on site, anti-spill measures are

AUDITORS’ REPORT

AUDITORS’ REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Economic and
Financial Report
To the Shareholders of
ALDESA CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A.:
1. We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ALDESA CONSTRUCCIONES, S.A. AND
SUBSIDIARIES (ALDESA CONSTRUCCIONES GROUP) comprising the consolidated balance sheet
at 31 December 2006 and the related consolidated income statement and notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year then ended. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements is the
responsibility of the Parent’s directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole based on our audit work performed in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, which require examination, by means of selective tests, of the evidence
supporting the consolidated financial statements and evaluation of their presentation, of the accounting
policies applied and of the estimates made. Our work did not include an examination of the financial
statements of certain subsidiaries and associates, whose assets and aggregate net profit, in absolute terms,
represent 2.42% and 7.12%, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. The financial statements of
these companies were audited by other auditors (see Notes 2 and 3) and our opinion as expressed in this
report on the consolidated financial statements of the ALDESA CONSTRUCCIONES GROUP is based,
with respect to the ownership interests in these companies, solely on the report of the other auditors.
2. As required by Spanish corporate and commercial law, for comparison purposes the directors present,
in addition to the 2006 figures for each item in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income
statement, the figures for 2005. Our opinion refers only to the 2006 consolidated financial statements. On
19 May 2006, we issued our auditors’ report on the 2005 consolidated financial statements, in which we
expressed an unqualified opinion.
3. In our opinion, based on our audit and on the report of the other auditors indicated in Notes 2 and 3, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2006 present fairly, in all material respects, the equity and financial position of the ALDESA CONSTRUCCIONES GROUP at 31 December 2006 and the
results of its operations in the year then ended, and contain the required information, sufficient for their
proper interpretation and comprehension, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
and standards applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
4. The accompanying consolidated directors’ report for 2006 contains the explanations which the directors
of the Parent consider appropriate about the Group’s situation, the evolution of its business and other matters, but is not an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. We have checked that the accounting information in the consolidated directors’ report is consistent with that contained in the consolidated
financial statements for 2006. Our work as auditors was confined to checking the directors’ report with
the aforementioned scope, and did not include a review of any information other than that drawn from the
Group’s accounting records.

accordance with current Spanish corporate
and commercial law, the Spanish National Chart of Accounts and Royal Decree
1815/1991, of 20 December, approving
the rules for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Additionally,
since construction is the companies’ core
business activity, the group applied the
accounting standards contained in the Ministry of Economy and Finance Order dated
27 January 1993, approving the rules for
the adaptation of the Spanish National
Chart of Accounts for construction companies, and, in relation to real estate activity,
the standards included in the Ministry of
Economy and Finance Order dated 28 December 1994, approving the rules for the

a) Fair presentation
The consolidated financial statements are
presented in accordance with Royal Decree 1815/1991, of 20 December 1991,
approving the rules for the preparation of
consolidated financial statements, and with
Royal Decree 1643/1990, of 20 December 1990, approving the Spanish National
Chart of Accounts.
The figures included in these notes to the
financial statements are expressed in thousands of euros.
c) Comparative information
The information relating to 2006 is comparable with that of 2005, there being no
reason preventing comparability between
the two years.
The basis of consolidation was as follows:
• Companies which are directly and/or
indirectly more than 50% owned by Aldesa Construcciones, S.A. or companies
which are 50% owned and over which
Aldesa Construcciones, S.A. exercises effective control, holds a majority of the voting
rights in their representation bodies or
which constitute a single decision-making
unit as defined by Article 42 of the Spanish
Commercial Code, were fully consolidated.
• Companies which are directly and/or
indirectly 50% owned by Aldesa Construcciones, S.A. but over which effective
control is not exercised although they are
jointly managed, and companies which are less than 50% owned directly and
indirectly and are jointly managed in conformity with the articles of association or
because agreements exist that entitle the
shareholders to exercise their right to veto
corporate decisions (jointly controlled entities), were proportionately consolidated.
• Companies in which there is significant
influence but not ownership of a majority
of the voting rights, and over which effective control is not exercised, are accounted
for using the equity method, provided that
they are not jointly managed and taking
into account that the Group does not own
ownership interests in listed companies.
d) Basis of consolidation
The business and tax year of all the consolidated companies coincides with the
calendar year.
The consolidated financial statements at
31 December 2006 include the individual
financial statements of Aldesa Construcciones, S.A. and of the directly and indirectly
owned subsidiaries over which the Group
exercises effective control or which constitute a single decision-making unit as
defined by Article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code.
The differences between the acquisition
cost of the investments in consolidated
companies and their underlying carrying
amount at the date of first-time consolidation or at the closest date on which
reasonably prepared financial statements
were obtained, are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at 31
December 2006 under “Reserves at Fully/
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
Proportionately Consolidated Companies”,
“Reserves at Companies Accounted for
Using the Equity Method” and “Goodwill
on Consolidation”.
Goodwill arising on consolidation is amortised on a straight-line basis from the date
of first-time consolidation, over the period
in which it is estimated that it will contribute to the generation of profit, not
exceeding ten years.
The share of minority interests of the
equity and profit for the year of fully consolidated subsidiaries’ is presented under
“Minority Interests” on the liability side of
the consolidated balance sheet and under
“Profit Attributed to Minority Interests” in
the consolidated income statement, respectively.
Intra-group balances and transactions were
eliminated on consolidation. Transactions between fully consolidated companies
were eliminated in full and those between
proportionately consolidated companies
were eliminated in proportion to Aldesa
Construcciones, S.A.’s ownership interest in
their share capital.
In order to uniformly present the items included in the consolidated financial
statements, the accounting policies and
standards adopted by the Parent were
applied to all the consolidated companies.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries
and associates relate to the same closing
date and period as the consolidated financial statements. For the Mexican and Polish
companies, historical financial statements
were used on consolidation without taking
into account, for consolidation purposes,
the adjustment for inflation required to be
made at 31 December 2006, by companies
located in these countries in accordance
with current local legislation.
Internal dividends are deemed to be those
recognised as period revenues by a Group
Aldesa Group
Report 2006

company which have been distributed by
another Group company.
The dividends received by Group companies
out of prior years’ distributed profit are eliminated and deemed to be reserves of the
company receiving them, and are included
in “Other Reserves” or “Reserves at Consolidated Companies” under “Shareholders’
Equity” in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet, depending on whether the
beneficiary of the dividend is the Parent
or a subsidiary. Interim dividends are offset against the debit account representing
them at the distributing company.
6 > Accounting policies and
measurement bases
These consolidated financial statements
were prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and measurement bases
contained in the Spanish National Chart of
Accounts, in its adaptations for the construction and real estate industries and in
Royal Decree 1815/91, of 20 December,
approving the rules for the preparation of
consolidated financial statements.
The principal accounting policies and measurement bases used by the Group in the
preparation of its consolidated financial
statements for 2006 were as follows:
a) Start-up costs
Start-up costs, which comprise pre-opening
and capital increase expenses, are stated at
cost and are amortised on a straight-line
basis over five years.
valued at acquisition or production cost and
is allocated to specific projects until they
are completed, provided that the financing
required to complete them is reasonably
assured and that there are sound reasons
to foresee the technical success of these
projects. These expenses are amortised over
three years.
Computer software. Computer software is
stated at acquisition or production cost
and is amortised over three years.
Finance leases. The rights under finance
lease agreements are recognised at the cash
cost of the related assets at the acquisition
date, and the total debt for lease payments
plus the amount of the purchase option are
recognised as a liability. The initial difference between the total debt and the cash
cost of the asset, which represents the interest cost on the transaction, is recognised
as a deferred expense and is allocated to
income over the lease term using the interest method. These assets are amortised on a
straight-line basis over their useful lives by
the same methods as those used to depreciate property, plant and equipment. When
the purchase option is exercised, the cost
and accumulated amortisation of these assets are transferred to the related property,
plant and equipment accounts.
Assets held under finance leases are amortised on the same basis as property, plant
and equipment items of a similar nature.
b) Intangible assets
The Company recognises its intangible assets as follows:
Research and development expenditure.
Research and development expenditure is
Description
c) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried
at acquisition or production cost, including
any additional expenses that might have
been incurred until their entry into operation.
The production cost of the assets constructed by the Company is obtained by adding
to the acquisition cost of the raw materials
and other consumables the costs directly
allocable and the portion that reasonably
relates to the indirectly allocable costs.
The costs of renovation, expansion or improvement are capitalised on the basis of
their acquisition or production cost, insofar
as they lead to increased capacity or productivity or to a lengthening of the useful
lives of the assets and provided that the
carrying amount of the assets replaced is
known or can be reasonably estimated.
Upkeep and maintenance expenses which
do not extend the useful lives of the assets
are expensed as incurred.
Finance costs incurred on external financing are not capitalised until the assets
financed are ready to come into service.
The items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated by the straight-line
method from the date they are ready to
come into service or from the date of their
acquisition, on the basis of the years of estimated useful life of each asset or class of
asset, as follows:
Depreciation Rate
Plant and machinery
5% - 30%
Transport equipment
8% - 40%
Other fixtures, tools and furniture
10% - 30%
Computer hardware
25%
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
d) Long- and short-term investments
Investments in associates are accounted
for using the equity method and the other
investments are recognised as follows:
Loans and credit facilities. Short- and
long-term loans granted by the Company
are recognised in the balance sheet at the
principal amount. The interest included in
the principal of the loans and credit facilities maturing at over one year is recognised
in the balance sheet as “Deferred Income”
and is taken to the income statement each
year using the interest method.
Security deposits and guarantees. These are
recorded at the amount delivered.
Term deposits. These are recognised at acquisition cost and the related interest is
recognised in the income statement in the
year in which it is earned.
Fixed income and similar securities. These
include mainly the investments in fixed-income financial assets stated at the lower of
cost or market.
e) Inventories
Raw materials, consumables and merchandise are recognised at cost, which includes
all the expenses incurred until the assets
reach the warehouse, calculated using the
weighted average cost method. Work in
progress and finished goods are recognised
at production cost, which includes the cost
of the materials used, the costs directly
attributable to the product and the reasonable portion of any indirectly attributable
costs incurred during the production period.
Land and building plots included in “Inventories” are recognised at acquisition cost,
increased by the costs directly related to
the purchase (transfer tax, registration expenses, etc.) and by the land preparation
costs.
The cost of developments in progress and
completed developments includes the land
development costs incurred to year-end,
the costs of construction or acquisition
of real estate developments, increased by
the expenses directly attributable thereto
(costs of construction subcontracted to
third parties, construction fees and professionals’ fees in site management projects)
and by the reasonable portion of any costs
indirectly attributable to the assets concerned incurred during the development
period, and the finance costs incurred during the construction period.
Construction work in progress is recognised
as “Short-Cycle Construction Work in Progress” or “Long-Cycle Construction Work in
Progress” depending on whether the construction period for the work in progress is
under or over 12 months, respectively.
When the market value of an asset is lower
than its acquisition or production cost, the
related allowance is recognised.
f) Trade and other receivables
These are recorded at their nominal value.
The related allowances are recognised on
the basis of the collectibility risk, taking into
account the age of the past-due amounts
and the debtor’s creditworthiness.
g) Provisions for contingencies and
charges
These provisions are recognised to cover
expenses, losses or possible debts incurred
during the year or in prior years, whose nature is clearly specified and which are probable
or certain, but whose exact amount cannot
be determined or whose date of payment is
uncertain at the balance sheet date.
The additions to this account are recognised based on the best estimates of annual
accrual or when the liability or obligation
giving rise to the indemnity or payment arises.
69
h) Operating allowances
These allowances are recognised to cover
indemnity expenses on completion of the
work, the estimated amount of the expenses to be incurred in the period from
completion of the work through its final
settlement, other expenses for site maintenance during the warranty period, and
expenses incurred in site clearance, removal of installations and settlement. If
necessary, these allowances also include
provisions to cover the estimated losses on
uncompleted projects.
i)
Termination benefits
Under current labour legislation, the Company is required to pay termination benefits
to employees terminated without just cause. The Company’s directors consider that
no unusual terminations of permanent
employees are likely to arise in the future
and, accordingly, the financial statements
do not include any provision in this connection.
“Operating Allowances” on the liability
side of the accompanying balance sheet at
31 December 2006 includes provisions of
an amount sufficient to cover the legally
stipulated costs of terminating temporary
employment contracts.
j)
Current/Non-current classification
of debt
Debts are recognised at the repayment
amount and the difference between this
amount and the amount received is recognised on the asset side of the balance sheet
as deferred interest, which is recognised in
the income statement using the interest
method.
Debts maturing within 12 months from
year-end are classified as current liabilities
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
and those maturing within more than 12
months as non-current liabilities.
k) Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are recognised at the exchange rate prevailing at the
transaction date. At year-end, the existing
foreign currency balances are calculated
at the exchange rates then prevailing. Any
resulting positive exchange differences are
recognised as deferred income and any negative exchange differences are changed
to the income statement.
l) Recognition of revenue and expenses
The Group recognises each year as the
outcome of its construction contracts the
difference between production (valued at
the sale price of the work completed in
the period, per the main contract entered into with the owners or per approved
amendments or addenda thereto, or at the
sale price of completed projects which, although they have not yet been approved,
are reasonably certain to be billed) and the
costs incurred in the year.
The difference between the amount of
production from inception of each project and the amount billed in each case to
the reporting date is recognised in “Trade
Receivables in respect of Amounts to Be Billed for Work Performed” under “Accounts
Receivable – Trade Receivables for Sales
and Services”, or in “Advances Received
on Orders” under “Current Liabilities”, as
appropriate.
The revenue from the sale of property developed by the Group is recognised when the
property is delivered. The amount collected
or instrumented in notes of the contracts
entered into until year-end relating to property not yet delivered is recognised under
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
“Advances Received on Orders” or “ NonCurrent Liabilities” on the liability side of
the accompanying balance sheet, depending on whether they mature within less or
more than 12 months, respectively.
The costs incurred for work performed are
recognised when incurred.
In general, revenue and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis, i.e. when the
actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting
monetary or financial flow arises.
m) Income tax
Income tax is calculated individually on the
profit of each company, based on its own
parameters, adjusted as appropriate by the
differences between taxable profit and accounting profit. The applicable tax relief
and tax credits are treated as a reduction
of the accrued tax.
The difference between the income tax
payable and the income tax expense is
recognised as a deferred tax asset or liability.
Unused tax loss carryforwards and deferred tax assets are recognised if they are
expected to have some impact on the future tax charge. If doubts exist as to their
future recovery, they are not recognised, in
accordance with the accounting principle
of prudence.
It is assumed that the future realisation of
deferred tax assets is not sufficiently assured when they are expected to be recovered
over a period of more than ten years from
the balance sheet date, unless there are deferred tax liabilities of the same or a higher
amount and their reversal period is the
same as that of the deferred tax assets.
Aldesa Group
Report 2006

n) Consolidation of joint ventures
The transactions carried out by joint ventures (UTEs are consolidated and recognised
in the companies’ balance sheet and income statement by including the portion
of the balances recognised in the joint
venture’s balance sheet that corresponds
to the ownership interest, after making
the necessary temporary and valuation adjustments in accordance with the criteria
adopted by the Group and after eliminating any unrealised gains or losses arising
from transactions between the companies
and the joint ventures and reciprocal asset
and liability balances.

granted subject to certain conditions being
met is no longer classified as refundable,
the balance is transferred to “Grants”. A
grant ceases to be refundable when the
conditions established for its obtainment
have been fulfilled or, where applicable, no
reasonable doubts exist as to their fulfilment in the future. A grant received which
is not subject to any condition and is therefore non-refundable is credited directly
to “Grants Related to Assets”.

Year Ended 31 December 2006
Construction industry in Spain
The trend of recent years in 2006 in the
construction industry persisted, as this industry continued to be the principal driver
of growth in the Spanish economy, up 6%
on 2005, (compared to 3.9% GDP), with
production exceeding EUR 185,200 million. Of the 25 countries in the EU, Spain
is ranked third in the construction industry,
behind Germany and France and followed
closely by the United Kingdom.
Construction was particularly booming
in 2006 since it accounted for 17.8% of
total GDP in Spain, created 186,000 new
jobs and employed over 2.5 million people,
almost 8% more than in 2005. This figure
confirms the growth trend in employment
over the last four years. In fact, one of the
factors which ascertain the importance of
the industry in the Spanish economy as a
whole is the multiplication in job creation.
i.e. for each direct job, 0.44 jobs are created in related industries.
In 2006 the volume of public tenders
amounted to EUR 46,690 million, almost
19% higher than in the previous year.
68.8% of this volume relates to civil engineering works, in which particular mention
should be made to the transport industry compared to 2005, and 31.2% relates
to building construction, where the most
significant increase was recorded in the
social infrastructure segment. As regards
the General Government, which launched
tenders for construction projects totalling
EUR 15,769 million, the Ministry of Public
Works ended the year with the award of
contracts amounting to EUR 11,120 million,
up 18.7% on 2005. It should be noted that
the Ministry of the Environment increased
its public tenders by 124%, contributing
5.75% to the General Government total.
The Autonomous Communities launched
tenders for public works totalling EUR
15,944 million, 30.4% more than in 2005,
and the municipal councils EUR 14,976 million, down 1.7% on 2005.
By Autonomous Community, growth in
production was above average in Cantabria,
Cataluña, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, La Rioja and Murcia while Andalucía,
Aragón, the Baleares Islands, the Canarias
Islands, Castilla y León, Madrid, Navarra
and the País Vasco were below average. The
European construction industry has not reported a slowdown for 13 years; however,
there were two periods of stagnation, the
last one from 2001 to 2003. Following this
rough patch, the industry recovered and
in 2006 growth reached a record high of
3.2%.
The distribution of activity by subsector
indicates that building construction accounts for 75% of total production and
civil engineering works for 24%, showing
an increase of 5.4% and 7.5%, respectively,
with respect to production in 2005.
In building construction, residential construction accounts for 36%, followed by
building refurbishment and maintenance
at 24% and non-residential building construction is the subsector with the least
weight representing 16% of total production. In building construction, the keys lie
in maintaining growth in residential construction, despite the impact of the Spanish
Technical Construction Code; and the recovery of the non-residential construction
subsector due to private demand, while
civil engineering work is still boosted by
regional governments through public tenders and concessions.
With regard to housing start-ups, growth
was as expected, approximately 9% up on
2005 and stood at 660,000. Completed
housing units rose to 585,000, an 11.5%
increase with respect to 2005. Investment
in housing as a percentage of total investment in construction was 52%, similar to
the European average. Residential construction expected interest rate rises to
act as a deterrent to purchasers-investors.
However, according to 2006 data, this did
not take place or was severe enough to halt
new production. The increase in housing
prices remained moderate in 2006, reporting the lowest growth since 2000.
In 2006 civil engineering works experienced the same growth trend as witnessed in
recent years, since the ongoing growth in
transport infrastructure markets was on a
par with the strength of the water infrastructure segment. In this regard, worthy
of mention is that the public tenders for
waterworks rose by 50% in comparison
with 2005, compared to 19.4% recorded by
the transport segment.
Group results
The Aldesa Group reported consolidated
revenue of EUR 772.9 million in 2006, disregarding other companies not included in
the scope of consolidation, implying a 26%
rise on the EUR 613.3 million production
figure reached the year before.
Consolidated revenue, considering the entire accounting period of the companies
acquired in 2006 totalled EUR 895 million,
up 46% on 2005, with EBITDA of EUR 60
million, which is 58% higher than in 2005.
The figure achieved in 2006 consolidates
the Group in the tenth position of the Spa-
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
nish construction industry and enables it to
be ranked number eight in Civil Engineering Works (gained in 2004) and number
nine in Building Construction. It is number
one in the National Association of Independent Builders (ANCI), of which it was a
founder member. At year end, the backlog
exceeded EUR 1,341 million, which guarantees very competitive growth with respect
to the industry average.
The significant growth of the Aldesa Group
–which was much higher than that of the
overall construction industry in Spain- was
due to organic growth and, especially, to
the acquisition and integration of new
companies in the Group.
Diversification towards new activities gained speed in 2006. This was evidenced by
the performance of the contracted backlog (non-construction) which rose from
EUR 12 million in 2005 to EUR 119 million
in 2006. Construction activities have also
been bolstered by the acquisition of construction companies located in geographical
areas in which Aldesa traditionally had a
small presence and/or which perform key
stages of the production process which it
previously subcontracted.
In 2006 the Group’s activities were focused, first of all, on major civil engineering
contracts, mainly with public agencies, including most notably the high-speed railway
works, which accounted for slightly more
than 51% of the Group’s total production;
secondly, on building construction work
performed principally for private-sector
customers (mainly residential, commercial
and industrial construction), which accounted for 34% of the total; and last, but
not least, on the increasingly important
presence of the Group’s fledgling nonconstruction businesses, such as real estate
development, applied engineering, water
treatment and infrastructure maintenance
and operation, which accounted for the remaining 15%.
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
EBITDA at EUR 50.43 million represented
a 6.5% return on revenue which testifies
to the Group’s excellent management in
recent years and a 32.5% increase with
respect to 2005. Although average profitability levels are higher in non-construction
activities (almost 10%), the costs of acquisition and integration of new subsidiaries
have lowered, in relative terms, the return
on revenue from 6.7% at individual level to
6.5% at consolidated level. Once the integration of the subsidiaries is completed, in
2007 EBITDA is expected to increase considerably in relative terms.
Net profit stood at approximately EUR
29.13 million, up 10.08% on 2005. This
growth was slower than that of EBITDA due
to lower finance income and to extraordinary income reported in 2005 which did
not recur in 2006 (in 2005 goodwill writedowns at Coalvi and GTT were reversed).
Depreciation and amortisation increased
by 232.7% from EUR 1.96 million in 2005
to EUR 6.52 million in 2006. This rise was
due mainly to the accelerated depreciation
of the tunnelling machine acquired for the
San Pedro high-speed railway works in the
province of Madrid and to the integration
of machinery-intensive subsidiaries, such
as Ingesa.
Financial profit amounted to EUR 2.16
million which was 24.77% lower than in
2005.
Investments in 2006 exceeded EUR 100
million with company acquisitions representing almost 70% of this total figure,
while the remaining 30% related to land
acquisition (for real estate activities), and
to machinery and production equipment.
Worthy of mention is that three years ago,
Aldesa implemented a growth strategy
through the incorporation of new com-

panies in the Group and diversification
of its businesses and investments towards
non-construction and supplementary construction activities. Consequently, the Group
is in a position to successfully address the
foreseeably changing trends, especially in
public works, since EU funds will cease to
be received in 2007, which will affect demand for construction in Spain in coming
years.
As a result of the entry of new companies
in the Group, five business divisions were
defined: Construction and Concessions,
Installations and Assembly, Real Estate,
Energy and Services. In 2006 Aldesa purchased the Catalan construction company
PAI and the Ingesa Group, engaged in the
manufacture of special foundations and
the performance of geo-technical inspections. The Group also showed keen interest
in strategic businesses such as alternative
energies and purchased the Tharsis wind
farm from Gamesa Energía and acquired a
100% ownership interest in Promociones
Eólicas del Altiplano (Prealsa). The Installations and Assembly area was bolstered
by the purchase of all the share capital of
Aeronaval de Construcciones e Instalaciones S.A. (ACISA) and of Meyvat, Suelin and
Electro Valencia, through the AMS Group.
It also set up new companies such as Aldesa
Turismo, the star project of which will be
the construction and operation of a tourist
resort in Mexico; and Concentra, which
operates in the services and maintenance
industry (cleaning, maintenance of real
estate and installations, gardening, security and ancillary services). Both companies
were included in the Services division, set
up in 2006.
Thanks to these business results, the
Group’s shareholders’ equity increased by
42.65% to EUR 83.51 million compared to
EUR 58.54 million in 2005.

Research and development activities
The Company has an R+D+I department
which in 2006 worked on different projects
related to information and communications technologies in the home (application of
domotics to the home) and the Construction industry.
Aldesa participates in several technological
initiatives with entities of renowned prestige such as the Eduardo Torroja Institute,
which belongs to the Spanish High Council
for Scientific Research. In this connection,
in 2006 Aldesa joined a select group of
companies involved in the INVISO Project
on “Optimisation of Housing Construction,
Industrialisation, Efficiency and Sustainability” , backed by the Institute. The objective
of this project is to investigate in the technological possibilities available to improve
construction methods and allow greater
systematisation and industrialisation of
tasks involved in the building process, placing special emphasis on process efficiency
and on construction sustainability, from
the socio-economic and energy standpoint.
Aldesa’s participation is focused specifically on improving the functionality and
sustainable use of residential dwellings
and on the execution and automation of
the construction thereof.
Aldesa also forms part of the AIVI project
consortium (Intelligent Spaces for Independent Lives), led by Acciona, which is
developing procedures and technology
in order to improve, through Information
Technologies, the qualify of life of people
which reduced mobility, considering architectonic aspects and breakthroughs in
construction, placing special emphasis on
their application to residential dwellings.
Different universities such as Universidad
de Valladolid, la Universidad Politécnica de
Zaragoza and Universidad Politécnica de
Madrid, participate in this project, supported by the Ministry of Industry.
The technology developed by Aldesa and
Universidad Politécnica de Madrid applied
to domotics led to the development of another important project in 2006: Redesign of
the radio modem circuit which can be integrated into different devices in order to
guarantee communication and the remote
reading of sensors and actuators in household and industrial environments. This new
circuit will be used to control ventilation
in tunnels, measure traffic flow at difficult
access points, in sensorisation systems, for
civil engineering structures, optimisation
of detection systems and occupational risk
prevention.
Acquisition of treasury shares
In 2006 the Parent did not acquire any
treasury shares and no treasury shares were
held at year end.
Business risks
The Group assigns importance to risks that
are likely to compromise return on its business activity, its financial solvency and its
employees’ integrity. The most significant
risks are:
- Risks relating to deficiencies or delays
when executing construction projects
or providing services to customers and
users
- Environmental risks
- Financial risks
- Occupational health and safety risks.
The Group is equipped with control systems to evaluate, prevent and mitigate each
of the risks described. In this connection
it has been awarded the AENOR Quality
Management Certificate based on the ISO
9001:2000 quality standard which ensures compliance of customer requirements
in terms of their level of satisfaction, in
Aldesa Group
Report 2006
addition to the legal and regulatory requirements in order to reduce errors and
establish a framework of continuous improvement of company processes. In 2000
Aldesa was awarded the AENOR Certificate
for Environmental Management, in accordance with the ISO 14001:2004 quality
standard, which ensures the compliance of
applicable environmental legislation and
regulations and the use of processes which
avoid, reduce and control pollution, placing special emphasis on prevention and
establishing ongoing improvement in the
company’s environmental performance.
The Group also has supervisory systems
and mechanisms to control financial risks, with Deloitte as auditor of its financial
statements. Aldesa has also developed and
implemented an Occupational Health and
Safety Management System based on the
OHSAS 18.001 standard and establishes the
preparation of a Safety Plan for each construction project as an essential requirement
prior to the opening of a work centre.
- On 30 March 2007, the Aldesa Group,
through its subsidiary Servicios Concentra,
purchased all the shares of Técnicas de Administración y Mantenimiento Inmobiliario
(TMI), a Realia real estate group company,
which engages mainly in the integrated
management and global maintenance of
buildings and real estate resources, This
company’s revenue amounted to EUR 16.9
million in 2006 and has a headcount of 290
employees.
