We have also discussed these documents with certain individuals as needed for the review. This report (this "Report") has been prepared in connection with our review. We have not expanded the scope of our review beyond these specific requests. tis beyond the scope of this Report to analyze the complete history of HASDC's formation and the reasons for it, or the advisability of continuing or discontinuing HAS's participation in HASDCS activities. We are available to share any observations we made during our review. METHODOLOGY We asked representatives of HASDC to provide us with all documents related to projects for which HAS has provided services to HASDC through various technical services agreements. We were provided the opportunity to review the following materials: = compact disk prepared by the law firm Allen & Overy LLP containing a complete set of the documents associated with the concession to design, build and operate a new airport (the "New Airport") to replace the Mariscal Sucre Intemational airport (the "Old Airport") in Quito, Ecuador; and = compact disk prepared by a representative of HASDC containing certain documents associated with Partnership (as defined herein) that closed on April 20, 2009, and its acquisition of an interest in the concession for the San Joe Airport (as defined here). The HASDC representatives represented to us that they did not have all of the documents relating to this transaction but that they had provided to us all of the documents relating to this matter that were in their possession. At the time of our review, HASDC only had possession of the agreements to which HASDC is a party. Therefore, not all documents associated with the Partnership and the San Jose Airport transaction were available to us. Nevertheless, HASDC representatives accommodated our requests for specific additional documents. We believe we have reviewed the pertinent documents associated with the Partnership and the San Jose Airport transaction. The materials provided above were reviewed on computer screens in the presence of HASDC representatives at our Houston offices on July 27, 28 and 29 and August 5, 7 and 29, during normal business hours.
