Financial Performance
for Fiscal Year
2009
2009 started with a serious global economic slowdown and a strong liquidity restriction in Costa Rica
due to a prevailing lack of confidence throughout most of the developed world’s financial sectors.
The anti-cyclical measures taken by most nations began to have the desired effect as of the second
quarter of 2009, but it was only in September that signs of revival were noticed in the United States and in Costa Rica, as well.
The guidelines issued by Grupo Financiero Improsa’s Board of Directors, starting in mid-2008,
established robust bases for dealing successfully with the difficult situation prevailing throughout
2009, and prepared the ground for renewed growth in 2010.
Final earnings for 2009 reached ¢1,595 million – a positive figure, if we consider the measures taken
to mitigate the year’s risks (such as keeping high levels of liquidity and applying more conservative
provision policies) and deal with shriveled demand for credit and other financial services. The
intermediation margin, expressed as a percentage of earning assets, was 5.82%, down from the
6.97% of 2008 but up from the 5.33% obtained in 2007.

Expenses for reserves and loan portfolio sale losses, generated by several of GFI’s business units, fell
from ¢4,436 million in December 2008 to ¢3,612 million in December 2009 – reflecting adequate
asset quality, even in times of crisis.
Net operating income finished at ¢5,692 million, a drop of 22.1% from last year. Of note was a steep
plunge in other operating income, deriving from a smaller volume of leasing as a result of the
economic recession affecting Central America and Panama.

commitment to manage with austerity and contain expenses without impacting strategic GFI projects.

Grupo Financiero Improsa • Annual Report 2009
GFI’s loan portfolio assets tumbled 23.3%, ending the year at ¢146,815 million. The downward trend
since the second half of 2008 is a direct result of the sharp drop in demand for credit and the loan
placement policies adopted by GFI to maintain portfolio quality. The policies helped GFI close 2009
with stronger liquidity, as disposable assets and investments jumped from 14.2% of all assets in 2008
to 26.0% in 2009.

GFI has managed its loan portfolio to include a high percentage of real guarantees (some 90% of its
overall portfolio has real collateral), making it one of the leading financial groups in terms of real
guarantee coverage.
Public deposit obligations rose by 5.6% compared to last year, finishing at ¢101,560 million. This
figure breaks down into ¢25,344 million in demand obligations – a rise of 3.72% for the year – and
¢74,738 million in term obligations – up 5.87% from last year.

In addition, as part of its strategy to diversify funding, GFI has signed loan agreements with financial
institutions, including correspondent banks and multilateral development institutions, for over $40
million, broken down as follows: $20 million at 5 years from IFC (International Finance Corporation);
$9.4 million at 3 years from CAF ( Andean Development Corporation); $10 million at 10 years from
WBC-OPIC (World Business Capital – Overseas Private Investment Corporation); and $3.2 million at 3
years from Cobank (a US cooperative bank serving agriculture).
Thus Grupo Financiero Improsa, through its subsidiaries, continues to demonstrate its capacity to
obtain short, medium and long-term funding for matching maturities with the various credit products
it has on offer.
The leverage indicator at 2009 was 5.54, only 0.64 of a point below the 2008 figure of 6.18.
Finally, Grupo Financiero Improsa’s equity climbed to ¢34,464 million, the result of a ¢2,347 million
increase for the year less payment of ¢1,443 million in preferred and common stock dividends for
2008. The increase is largely explained by real estate reappraisals, valuation of investments and
earnings generated for the year, after payment of dividends.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the General Superintendence of Financial Entities, the Stockholders,
and the Board of Directors of Grupo Financiero Improsa, S.A. & Subsidiaries
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Grupo Financiero
Improsa, S.A. and Subsidiaries, which are comprised by the consolidated balance sheet as at 31
December 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statement of income, changes in equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory notes. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008 of the investment funds: Fondo de Inversión de Desarrollo Inmobiliario Improsa, Fondo
de Invesión Inmobiliario Gibraltar, Fondo de Inversión Inmobiliario Los Crestones and Fondo de
Inversión de Desarrollo Inmobiliario Improsa Dos, were audited by other independent auditors.
The audit reports of Fondo de Inversión Inmobiliaria Gibraltar and Fondo de Inversión
Inmobiliaria Los Crestones were issued on January 29, 2010; they express an unqualified opinion
on these financial statements. The audit report of Fondo de Inversión de Desarrollo Inmobiliario
Improsa Dos was issued on February 8, 2010, and it presents a qualified opinion due to the fact
that the Fund properties’ value has dropped up to 30%, and this situation has made that the lands
and facilities of Cala Luna are in function of their present use, and for that situation, they could
not be considered as new constructions, which limits the development for which the property was
acquired. Regarding the Fondo de Inversión de Desarrollo Inmobiliario Improsa, the audit report
had not been issued as of the date of the audit report.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions set out by the
National Financial System Supervisory Board (CONASSIF), the General Superintendence of
Financial Entities (SUGEF), and by the General Superintendence of Securities (SUGEVAL),
which are described in Note 2, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.

28 Audited Financial Statements
Grupo Financiero Improsa • Annual Report 2009
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated
financial position of Grupo Financiero Improsa, S.A. and Subsidiaries as of 31 December 31
2009 and 2008, and of their financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in
accordance with the legal and regulatory provisions established by the National Financial System
Supervisory Board (CONASSIF) and the General Superintendence of Financial Entities
(SUGEF), which are detailed in Note 2.
Financial system regulations
Grupo Financiero Improsa, S.A. and Subsidiaries is regulated by the General Superintendence of
Financial Entities (SUGEF). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with the formats, disclosure standards, and regulations issued by the
National Financial System Supervisory Board and by the SUGEF.
Matters that do not affect the opinion
The other auditors’ report on the financial statements of the Fondo de Inversión de Desarrollo
Inmobiliario Improsa Dos (Fondo Cala Luna) discloses that the Fund has been facing legal issues
regarding environmental feasibilities, construction permits and market situations that limit credit
and the possibility of placing participation certificates, which raises doubts on the Fund’s
possibility to continue as a going concern.
The subsidiary denominated Improsa Sociedad Administradora de Fondos de Inversión, S.A.
registered in the financial statements as of December 31, 2009 capital contributions for the sum
of ¢50.000.000. The approval of the Stockholders´ Meeting is from January 18, 2010.
During 2009, management of Improactiva, S.A. determined to change the course of the business;
therefore, it stopped issuing a new loan portfolio; the portfolio already placed is being
administered, and services are being provided to related companies through their call center.
As indicated in Note 3.24 to the financial statement, the Group makes significant transactions
with related entities.
