At the same time, the 'BBB+' long-term and 'A-2' short-term corporate credit ratings were affirmed. The ratings on VINCI reflect its strong market positions in a wide variety of concession and construction activities, with the stable and profitable concession businesses making a considerable contribution to group cash flows from operations before tax and financing costs (62.9% in first-half 2008). The ratings are also supported by VINCI's prudent debt management policy with limited refinancing needs, solid cash position, and abundant long-term committed bank facilities. These strengths are mitigated by the capital-intensive nature of the concessions business and</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">FRA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">20103010 201030 2010 20</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">VINCI S.A.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">338059</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EUROMIDAFR</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">DG@FP</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">RESUPD</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_seccountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">FRA</spcred:index_entry_seccountry><spcred:index_entry_seccusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">F05334</spcred:index_entry_seccusip><spcred:index_entry_seccusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">F36876</spcred:index_entry_seccusip><spcred:index_entry_secgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">20305020 203050 2030 20</spcred:index_entry_secgics><spcred:index_entry_secissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Autoroutes du Sud de la France S.A.</spcred:index_entry_secissuer><spcred:index_entry_secissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Cofiroute</spcred:index_entry_secissuer><spcred:index_entry_secissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">306184</spcred:index_entry_secissuerid><spcred:index_entry_secissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">360316</spcred:index_entry_secissuerid><spcred:index_entry_secreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EUROMIDAFR</spcred:index_entry_secreg><spcred:index_entry_secticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">80439Z@FP</spcred:index_entry_secticker><spcred:index_entry_secticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ASF@FP</spcred:index_entry_secticker><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">STRUC</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ABS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Capital</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Transportation</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp;

There we go.  I would like to apologize to you all for organizing this meeting today which means that you probably had to come back from your vacations earlier and the weather is really awful today. And we did also ask you to wake up really early on a Monday morning. But as I said, these are all things that are beyond our control.

Anyway I'd like to thank you all for coming along and thank you for coming along to see our presentation on our half yearly results. You'll see these results are very encouraging. I think that they really show us just how solid our business model is, based on first of a great variety of different business lines and areas of expertise.
