(PINKSHEETS: FIMA)announced today that through its subsidiary, Garcia & Garcia Constructionand Design, the Company has agreed to terms for the acquisition of twoparcels in the highly sought-after section of Las Palmas in Veracruz,Mexico. Garcia & Garcia have already begun the process of creating plansand architectural renderings for the project, and construction should beable to begin shortly. Zoning and density are not an issue, and theinfrastructure including electrical, water, and sewer are in place,substantially reducing the anticipated costs of construction.According to a FIMA company spokesperson, "The Las Palmas section ofVeracruz is an extremely desirable location, and we are very pleased tohave this opportunity. Veracruz is the number one port in all of Mexico,and one of the country's fastest growing metropolitan areas. Based partlyon the desirability of the location, along with the growing reputation ofGarcia & Garcia in the region as a result of their growing portfolio ofprojects, we expect to be able to pre-sell the units within an extremelyshort time. As a result, our capital expenditure will be minimal. Also,lending policies in Mexico and Latin American have traditionally been muchmore restrictive, so unlike the real estate market in the U.S., that inMexico has been largely unaffected by the subprime fallout. Consequently,we are able to participate in a robust and growing sector that we feelcontinues to present excellent expansion opportunities. We believe thatthis latest project will add to our growing portfolio."
