CUSIP No. 226406106 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 6 of 21 Pages |
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons received Cresud Convertible Notes from the dividend distribution from IFIS, which may be converted into Shares.
On December 22, 2005 the shareholders of Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. (IFISA) approved the distribution of dividends in kind for a face value of US$3.5 million Convertible Notes of Cresud, as provided by applicable law and its memorandum of incorporation.
Accordingly, IFIS received from IFISA Convertible Notes of Cresud for a Face Value of US$2.975 million. As resolved by the Board of Directors of IFIS and approved by its principal shareholders, IFIS distributed capital and dividends in kind to its shareholders for a total face value of US$ 2.975 million 8% Convertible Notes of Cresud. In addition, Consultores Venture Capital received 525,000 million 8% Convertible Notes of Cresud of the dividends in kind distributed by IFISA. Those assets were distributed during January 2006.
According to their ownership, our directors E. Elsztain received 722,626 Units, Alejandro G. Elsztain received 35,729 Units, and Duriland received 75,430 Units. In addition, Dolphin Fund, an investment company incorporated in the Isle of Man that is managed by Consultores Venture Capital and controlled by Eduardo Elsztain received 503,435 Units.
As of March 31, 2006, resulting from either the conversion of the Notes or the exercise of the Warrants, Mr. Elsztain owned 1,429,360 shares of Cresud Common Stock. Alejandro G. Elsztain owned 159,430 shares of Cresud Common Stock and 35,729 Units of Cresuds Convertible Notes. Duriland owned 75,430 Units of Cresuds Convertible Notes. Consultores Venture Capital Limited owned 525,000 Units of Cresuds Convertible Notes, and Dolphin Fund Plc., owned 1,459,800 shares of Cresud Common Stock, which together represent 2,889,160 shares of Cresud Common Stock and 600,430 Units of Cresuds Convertible Notes.
Additionally, those Units may be converted into an amount of 1,252,775 Shares of Cresud Common Stock (assuming all Notes are converted). Moreover, have the right for 636,159 Warrants, which give the right to purchase 1,252,775 additional Shares. Total Shares resulting from the conversion of the Units and the exercise of the Warrants give Mr. Elsztain a beneficial ownership of 5,554,139 Shares representing a 1.7% equity interest in Cresud on a fully diluted basis.
Elsztain is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of IFIS, IFISA, Cresud and IRSA. Elsztain is the beneficial owner of 43.7% of the Shares of IFIS. Elsztain owns directly 24.3% of IFIS and indirectly 2.5% through Duriland S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Uruguay, and 16.9% through Dolphin Fund plc, an Isle of Man limited liability company. IFIS owns 99.975% of IFISA and Consultores Venture Capital Limited own the remaining 0.025%. Elsztain owns 85.0% of Consultores Venture Capital Limited, a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. By virtue of his beneficial ownership of IFISA, IFIS and Elsztain are beneficial owners of all the Shares of Cresud Common Stock held for the account of IFISA, which represents 34.4% of the fully total Shares of Cresud Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.
Certain shareholders of IFIS gave a power of attorney to IFIS to sell their Cresud Shares resulting from the conversion of Cresud Convertible Notes and the exercise of Warrants, which totaled 951,437 Cresud Convertible Notes.
As of March 31, 2006, IFIS sold in behalf of certain IFIS shareholders the equivalent of 1,873,640 Shares of Cresud Common Stock and exercised the totality of the Warrants.

Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer
As of March 31, 2006, assuming the full conversion of Cresuds Notes and Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons as described in Item 6, IFISA would own 116,087,450 Shares of Cresud Common Stock, representing 36.1% on a fully diluted basis.
The following is a detailed description of the Reporting Persons beneficial ownership and their relationship with Cresud:

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Pursuant to a Prospectus (the Prospectus), dated October 11, 2002, contained in Cresuds Registration Statement on Form F-3 No. 333-90476, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 2002, Cresud offered (the Offering) rights to subscribe for an aggregate amount of 50,0000,000 Units (Units), each consisting of US$1.00 principal amount of Cresuds 8% Convertible Notes due 2007 (each, a Note) and one non-detachable warrant (each, a Warrant) to purchase Shares of Cresud Common Stock, for an aggregate amount of US$50,000,000. All information included in this Schedule 13D pertaining to the Offering, Units, Notes and Warrants is based on information provided in the Prospectus, the indenture governing the Notes and the warrant agreement governing the Warrants.
After December 13, 2002, holders of the Notes may convert, subject to certain conditions, such Notes into Shares of Cresud Common Stock at a conversion price of US$0.5078 per share. The initial conversion price of the Notes is subject to adjustment as described in the Prospectus. The Notes mature on November 14, 2007. Each Warrant is exercisable only if the Note to which such Warrant is attached has been converted, and such Warrant is exercisable on the last day of each quarter following such conversion until expiration of the Warrants on November 14, 2007. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase such number of Shares of Cresud Common Stock equal to the number of Shares for which the attached Note was converted. The exercise price for the Warrants is US$0.6093 per share of Cresud Common Stock. Neither the Notes nor the Warrants are separately transferable until, in each case, the Note to which a Warrant is attached is converted.
As described in the Prospectus, pursuant to Argentine law and Cresuds bylaws, Cresud was required to first offer the subscription rights contained in the Prospectus to all of Cresuds existing holders of Shares or ADSs. The subscription period for such holders expired on November 13, 2002.
CUSIP No. 226406106 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 9 of 21 Pages |
Thereafter, Cresud was permitted to sell any unsubscribed Units to third parties. On November 20, 2002 (the Issuance Date), the Reporting Persons purchased 23,848,296 Units for an aggregate purchase price of US$23,848,296. In addition, from December 2002 until April 2004 the Reporting Persons purchased 389,234 Units for an aggregate purchase price of US$720,791.01 and sold 284,505 Units for an aggregate selling price of US$335,490.40. Such Units became convertible (in the case of the Notes) commencing on December 14, 2002 and the Warrants are exercisable on the last day of the fiscal quarter following such conversion. On October 19, 2005, 2,982,384 Units were converted into 5,873,146 Shares and 2,982,384 warrants were added to the portfolio. In January 2006, IFIS distributed 2,975,000 Units to shareholders. Therefore, as of March 31, 2006, the remaining Units amounted to 19,058,237, which may be converted into an amount of 37,530,991 Shares of Cresud Common Stock (assuming all Notes are converted) and have the right to purchase 19,058,237 warrants. Total warrants owned by the Reporting Persons amounted to 21,089,184, which give the right to purchase 41,530,492 Shares. Total Shares resulting from the conversion of the Units and the exercise of the warrants give the Reporting Persons a total of 79,061,483 Shares representing a 24.6% equity interest in Cresud on a fully diluted basis. In the case that IFISA decided to exercise the Warrants, IFISA will have to pay an exercise price of US$0.60936 for each Warrant representing a total amount of US$25,307,021. Other than as set forth above or otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to any securities of Cresud to which the Reporting Persons is a party.
