The agency and brokerage business generated a combined pre-tax profit of €298,640 compared to the €352,687 achieved during 2009. On the other hand, during 2010 the investment services division incurred a loss amounting to €557,836 compared to a loss of €1.3 million in 2009. Activity from the property division was scaled down during the year under review as the Group restructured its senior management as a key element of its continued effort to grow revenue, manage expenses and create value for shareholders within its core financial services business.
