At the end of the last Balance Sheet, it existed an appropriate relation between current assets and short-term liabilities, although these last ones overcame the total of own resources. Therefore it had an unbalanced economic-financial position.


The reached income level overcame the 2004 ones, obtaining finally a very good final profitability, having therefore a balanced performance.
