(ALI) said its net income in the first quarter of this year is expected to slightly exceed the P500-million profit posted in the same period last year, driven by the continued growth in its core revenue base of commercial center rentals and property sales.

ALI president Francisco Licuanan said that despite the tough economic environment weighed down by concerns of war in the Middle East and the security situation in Mindanao, rental income from its malls showed improvement, mainly due to the opening of the redeveloped Greenbelt area.

In a financial report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, MPC said that while it was able to pay off P1.2-billion worth of debts during the first nine months of the year, this was largely offset by the reclassification of its convertible preferred shares amounting to P720 million and the restructuring of about P227 million of unpaid interest into long term debt.
