NOTE  1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  a) Basis of consolidation

The company consolidated on a line by line basis the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and June 30, 2010, the Statements of Income and the Statements of Cash Flows for the periods ended as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 with the financial statements of subsidiaries, following procedures established by Technical Resolution No. 21 of the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (FACPCE), aproved by Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires and Comisión Nacional de Valores.

Significant transactions and balances with subsidiaries have been eliminated from the consolidation.

The financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and June 30, 2010 of the subsidiary companies Northagro S.A. (“Northagro”), Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A. (“FyO.Com”), Agrotech S.A. (“Agrotech”), Pluriagro S.A. (“Pluriagro”), FyO Trading S.A. (“FyO Trading”), Agrology S.A. (Agrology), Cactus S.A. (Cactus) and IRSA have been used in order to determine line by line consolidation.

These Financial Statements and the corresponding notes are presented in thousand of Argentine Pesos.

On September 13, 2010, APSA sold its 80% interest in Tarshop S.A. Consequently, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of this closing does not include Tarshop and the unaudited statements of income and the unaudited statement of cash flows include such company only for the two-month period when Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) held control over it. Therefore, the compatibility of consolidated financial statements is affected.

Relevant totals from the Company’s consolidated financial statements assuming that the sale of share of Tarshop S.A. had taken place on June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 disclosed comparatively are shown in the following chart:

On December 23, 2010, Cresud made a capital contribution for Ps. 16 million to Cactus, including an additional paid-in capital Thus, as of December 31, 2010, our direct interest increased to 80%.

As from December 31, 2010, Cresud presents its financial statements consolidated with those of Cactus as provided by Technical Resolution No. 21. Consequently, the Company’s financial statements consolidated as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 do not include information consolidated with Cactus.

NOTE  3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Statements of the Subsidiaries mentioned in Note 2 have been prepared based on accounting principles consistent with those followed by the Company for the preparation of its financial statements, as detailed in Note 2 of the basic financial statements.

High relevant valuation and disclosure criteria applied in preparing the financial statements of consolidated companies and not explained in the valuation criteria note of the holding company are as follows:

 

  a) Inventories

 

   

Real Estate Business

A property is classified as inventories upon determination by the Board of Directors that the property is to be marketed for sale in the normal course of business over the next several years.

Properties classified as inventories have been valued at acquisition or construction cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.b. to the basic financial statements or estimated market value, whichever is lower. Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs, construction overhead costs, financial costs and real estate taxes.

Inventories on which advance payments that establish price have been received, and the operation’s contract terms and conditions assure that the sale will be effectively accomplished and that the income will be realized, are valued at net realizable value. Profits arising from such valuation are shown in the “Gain from valuation of assets at net realizable value” caption of the Statements of Income.

Properties held for sale are classified as current or non-current based on the estimated date of sale and the time at which the related receivable is expected to be collected by the Company.

The amount recorded in inventories, net of allowances set up, does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at the end of the period/year.

Property units to receive:

IRSA has rights to receive certain property units to be built. The units have been valued according to the accounting measuring standards corresponding to inventories receivables (the price established in the deed or net realizable value, as applicable) and there have been disclosed under “Inventories”.

NOTE  3: (continued)

 

  b) Current investments

 

   

Real Estate Business

As of June 30, 2010, current investments included retained interests in securitized receivables pursuant to the securitization programs of Tarshop S.A. and Metroshop S.A. with a realization term not exceeding twelve months, which have been accounted for under the equity method, net of the corresponding allowances for impairment. In addition, it includes public bonds, mutual funds and mortgage bonds carried at market value at the end of the year.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, this includes participation certificates in the framework of the program for the securitization of receivables arising from the credit card transactions conducted by Metroshop S.A. (a company proportionally controlled by APSA) maturing within a term of up to 12 months and measured by application of the equity method which does not exceed its recoverable value.

 

  c) Non-current investments

 

   

Real Estate Business

Investments in debt securities:

Investments in debt securities were valued based on the best estimate of the discounted amount receivable, applying the corresponding internal rate of return estimated at the time of incorporation to assets.

Investments on controlled and related companies and other non-current investment

As of June 30, 2010, included retained interests in securitized receivables of Tarshop S.A., which have been accounted for under the equity method, net of the corresponding allowances for impairment, if applicable. In addition, the interests held in entities over which the Company does not exert control, joint control or significant influence have been measured for accounting purposes at cost plus any declared dividends.

Given the sale of 80% of Tarshop S.A.’s shares described in Note 8 B.2.b, as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, APSA maintains a 20% investment in Tarshop S.A. which has been recognized by application of the equity method on account of the economic group being able to exercise significant influence on its decisions and of the economic group’s intention to maintain it as a long-term investment.

The equity investments in TGLT S.A. and Hersha Hospitality Trust were valued at their acquisition cost.

NOTE  3: (continued)

 

The equity interest in Rigby 183 LLC (“Rigby 183”), 49% of which had been channeled through IMadison LLC (“IMadison”) and 8% of which had been channeled through Real Estate Strategies (“RES”), has not been consolidated on a line-by-line basis because the Company is currently negotiating the sale of the 8% interest held by RES.

The equity interest in Rigby 183, Metropolitan and the acquisition of the additional equity interest in Alto Palermo S.A. are currently undergoing the analysis of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities that have been acquired in accordance with the guidelines under Technical Resolution No. 21, paragraph 1.3.1.

Banco Hipotecario S.A. and Banco de Crédito & Securitización S.A.:

The Financial Statements of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and Banco de Credito & Securitización S.A. are prepared in accordance with the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (“BCRA”) standards. For the purpose of the valuation of the investment in IRSA, adjustments necessary to adequate the financial statements to the professional accounting standards have been considered.

In accordance with the regulations of the BCRA, there are certain restrictions on the distribution of profits by Banco Hipotecario S.A. to IRSA.

Tyrus S.A. and Torodur S. A.:

Uruguay-based Tyrus S.A. and Torodur S.A. have been classified as not integrated into the IRSA’s operations in relation to its subsidiaries whose operations are carried out fully abroad.

Tyrus’s and Torodur’s assets and liabilities were converted into Pesos at the exchange rate in force at the closing of the fiscal period/year. The Statement of Income accounts have been converted into Pesos at the exchange rates in force at the time of each transaction. Foreign exchange gains/losses arising from the conversion have been charged to the Shareholders’ equity caption in the line “Translation Differences”.

Undeveloped parcels of lands:

IRSA acquires undeveloped land in order to provide an adequate and well-located supply for its residential and office building operations. IRSA’s strategy for land acquisition and development is dictated by specific market conditions where IRSA conducts its operations.

Land held for development and sale and improvements are stated at cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.b. to the basic financial statements or market value, whichever is lower.

Land and land improvements are transferred to inventories or fixed assets when construction commences or their trade is decided.

NOTE  3: (continued)

 

The values thus obtained, do not exceed their respective estimated recoverable values at the end of the period/year.

 

  d) Business combinations

 

   

Real Estate Business

Significant entities on net asset acquired by the Company were recorded in line with the “purchased method” set forth in Technical Resolution No. 18. and Technical Resolution No. 21. All assets and liabilities acquired to third independent parties were adjusted to show their fair value. IRSA identified the assets and liabilities acquired including intangible assets such as: lease agreements acquired for prices and terms that are either higher or lower than in the market; costs of executing and delivering the lease agreements in force (costs that IRSA avoids incurring as a result of acquiring effective lease agreements); the value of acquired brands, the value of any deposits associated to the investment and the intangible value inherent in customer relations.

The process of identification and the determination of the purchased price paid is a matter that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.

IRSA uses the information contained in valuations estimated by independent appraisers as primary base for assigning the price paid for the land, the building and the shopping centers. The amounts assigned to all the other assets and liabilities are based on independent valuations or on the IRSA´s own analysis on comparable assets and liabilities. The current value of tangible assets acquired considers the property value as if it was empty.

If the price paid is larger than the value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as identified, the excess is considered to be goodwill.

 

  e) Property and equipment, net

 

   

Real Estate Business

Fixed assets comprise primarily of rental properties and other properties and equipment held for use by IRSA.

Fixed assets value, net of allowances set up, does not exceed estimated recoverable value at the end of the period/year.

NOTE  3: (continued)

 

Rental properties

Rental properties are carried at acquisition and/or construction cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.b. to the basic financial statements, less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment at the end of the period/year. IRSA capitalizes the financial accrued costs associated with long-term construction projects.

Accumulated depreciation had been computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset, applying annual rates in order to extinguish their values at the end of its useful life.

IRSA has allowances for impairment of certain rental properties.

Significant renewals and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the assets are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is disclosed in the Statement of Income.

Other properties and equipment

Other properties and equipment properties are carried at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.b. to the basic financial statements, less accumulated depreciation at the end of the period/year. Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

  f) Intangible assets

 

   

Real Estate Business

Intangible assets are carried at restated cost as mentioned in Note 1.b. to the basic financial statements, less accumulated amortization and corresponding allowances for impairment in value, if it applicable. Included in the Intangible assets caption are the following:

Concession

Intangible assets include Arcos del Gourmet S.A.´s concession right, which will be amortized over the life of the concession agreement once it opens to the public (see Note 8.B.2.d.).

Trademarks

Trademarks include the expenses and fees related to their registration.

Pre-operating expenses

Those expenses were amortized by the straight-line method in 3 years, beginning as from the date of opening.

The net carrying value of the intangible assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at the end of the period/year.

Non-Compete Agreement

These expenses were amortized by the straight-line method in 28 months period starting upon December 1st, 2009.

NOTE  3: (continued)

 

In the framework of the agreement executed with Banco Hipotecario S.A. for the sale of Tarshop S.A.’s shares, APSA has signed a non-compete agreement in favor of BHSA and has thus considered this intangible asset to be non-recoverable.

 

  g) Goodwill, net

 

   

Real Estate Business

Amortizations were calculated through the straight line method on the basis of an estimated useful life considering the weighted average of the remaining useful life of the assets acquired.

The residual value of goodwill arising from the acquisition of net assets and shares of companies has been shown in the “Goodwill, net” caption. Amortizations were classified in the “Amortization of goodwill” caption of the statement of income. Goodwills related to the acquisition of interests in subsidiaries is included in non-current investments.

Values thus obtained do not exceed the respective estimated recoverable values at the end of the period/year.

 

  h) Customer advances

 

   

Real Estate Business

Customer advances represent payments received in connection with the sale and rent of properties and has been valued according to the amount of money received.

 

  i) Allowances

 

   

Real Estate Business

Allowance for doubtful accounts: IRSA allows for losses relating to trade receivables, leases and other accounts receivable. The allowance for losses is recognized when, based on current information and events, it is probable that IRSA will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the agreements. The allowance is determined on a one-by-one basis considering the present value of expected future cash flows.

While Management uses the information available to make assessments, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the assessments. Management has considered all events and/or transactions that are subject to reasonable and normal methods of estimations.

NOTE  3: (continued)

 

For impairment of assets: IRSA regularly asses its non-current assets for recoverability at the end of every period.

IRSA has estimated the recoverable value of rental properties based on their economic use value, which is determined based on estimated future cash flows discounted. For the rest of the assets (inventories and undeveloped parcels of land) IRSA makes a comparison with market values based on values of comparable properties. If the recoverable value of assets, which had been impaired in prior years, increases, IRSA records the corresponding reversals of impairment loss as required by accounting standards.

For lawsuits: IRSA has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor issues. IRSA accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date, IRSA’s estimates of the outcomes of these matters and IRSA’s lawyers’ experience in contesting, litigating and settling other matters.

As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined, there may be changes in the estimates of future costs, which could have an effect on IRSA’s future results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

At the date of issuance of these financial statements, IRSA’s Management understands that there are no elements to foresee other potential contingencies having a negative impact on these financial statements.

 

  j) Liabilities in kind related to barter transactions

 

   

Real Estate Business

Liabilities in kind corresponding to obligations to deliver units to be built are valued considering the cost of the assets received or the cost of construction of the units to deliver plus necessary additional costs to transfer the assets to the creditor, the major. Liabilities in kind have been shown in the “Trade accounts payable”.

  k) Revenue recognition

 

   

Real Estate Business

 

  1) Revenue recognition of IRSA

Sales of properties

IRSA records revenue from the sale of properties when all of the following criteria are met:

 

   

The sale has been consummated.

 

   

There is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the buyer’s ability and commitment to pay for the property.

 

   

The Company’s receivable is not subject to future subordination.

 

   

The Company has transferred the property to the buyer.

IRSA uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting with respect to sales of development properties under construction. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs according to budgeted costs. IRSA does not commence gain or loss such time as the decision to proceed with the project is made and construction activities have begun. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the IRSA’s Management to prepare budgeted costs in connection with sales of properties/units. All changes to estimated costs of completion are incorporated into revised estimates during the contract period.

Revenues from leases

Revenues from leases are recognized considering its term and conditions and over the life of the related lease contracts.

Hotel operations

IRSA recognizes revenues from its rooms, catering and restaurant facilities as accrued on the close of each business day.

Net operating results from each business unit are disclosed in Note 5.

  2) Revenue recognition of Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA)

Revenues for admission rights and rental of stores and stands

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Tenants are generally charged a rent, which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly revenues (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross revenues).

Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most leases, the tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 12% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is recognized following on the accrued criteria.

Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of revenues or based on a percentage of revenues volume above a specified threshold. APSA determines the compliance with specific targets and calculates the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided in the contracts. Thus, these contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.

Generally, APSA’s lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months. Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six months, upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, subject to penalties which vary from one to one and a half months rent if the tenant rescinds after the first year of its lease, and one month of rent if the tenant rescinds after the first year of its lease.

Additionally, APSA charges its tenants monthly administration fees related to the administration and maintenance of the common area and the administration of contributions made by tenants to finance promotional efforts for the overall shopping centers operations. The administration fees are prorated among the tenants according to their leases which vary from shopping center to shopping center. Administration fees are recognized monthly when earned.

In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged “admission rights”, a non refundable admission fee, that tenants may be required to pay upon entering into a lease or upon lease renewal. Admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. Admission rights are recognized in earnings using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements.

Credit card operations “Consumer Financing”

Revenues derived from credit card transactions consist of commissions and financing income, charges to clients for life and disability insurance and for statements of account, among other. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed, while the rest financial income is recognized when accrued. Income generated from granting consumer loans mainly includes financial interests, which are recognized by the accrued method during the period whether collection has or has not been made.

Lease agent operations

Fibesa S.A., company in which APSA has an interest of 99.99996%, acts as the leasing agent for APSA bringing together the Company and potential lessees for the retail space available in certain of APSA’s shopping centers. Fibesa S.A.’s revenues are derived primarily from collected commissions calculated as a percentage of the final rental income value, admission´s rights and commissions for rental of advertising space. Revenues are recognized at the time that the transaction is successfully concluded.

NOTE  6: LAWSUITS AND CLAIMS IN COURSE

 

  A. Agricultural Business

 

  1. Ongoing litigation with the city of Villa Mercedes.

The Misdemeanours Court Judge to the city of Villa Mercedes issued resolution No. 2980/08 about the situation of Cactus in such city, determining that the Company had a 36-month term to stop operating and transferring the establishment located on the Provincial Route 2B.

In such 36-month period, the Company shall not host over 18,500 head of cattle.

Such brief was appealed by Cactus before the Municipality, which was negatively answered on April 7, 2009, by means of Decree No. 0662/09, thus ratifying the Misdemeanour Court Judge’s ruling. Under the administrative justice of the city of Villa Mercedes, Cactus would have until April 7, 2012 to conclude its operations and transfer the establishment.

Cactus has filed appeals with the High Court of Justice of the Province of San Luis, objecting the lawfulness of the rulings entered by the Misdemeanours Court Judge of Villa Mercedes. The appeals are pending and the High Court has not ruled on them.

The Company’s legal advisors are optimistic about the possibilities of reversing the Misdemeanours Court Judge’s ruling.

Irrespective of the above, Cactus is carrying out a plan to improve its relationship with the community of Villa Mercedes, seeking to strengthen the company’s position as a valuable member in the social and economic activity in the region, whose purpose is that the scheduled moving be reconsidered by municipal authorities.

NOTE  6: (continued)

 

  B. Real Estate Business

 

  1. Provision for unexpired claims against Llao Llao Holding S.A.

The Llao Llao Holding S.A. (“LLH”) Company (in liquidation process following the merger with and into the Company), predecessor of Llao Llao Resorts S.A. (“LLR”) as operator of the Llao Llao Hotel, was sued in 1997 by the National Parks Administration seeking collection of the unpaid balance of the additional sale price,

in Argentine External Debt Bond (“EDB”) amounting to US$ 2.9 million. A ruling of the court of original jurisdiction sustained the claim. That ruling was appealed and the Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment of the court of original jurisdiction, demanding payment from the company of US$ 3.8 million, plus interest accrued through payment, punitive interest and attorney’s fees. In March 2004, LLH paid Ps. 9,156 in cash and EDB.

The plaintiff requested the court of original jurisdiction to initiate an incidental procedure for execution of sentence by performing a settlement through the Ministry of Economy, the procedure has been questioned by LLR. In view of the fact that the information provided was not sufficient to evaluate the amount settled by the Ministry of Economy, it was requested that the execution be suspended until there is a sentence on the complaint recourse filed to the National Supreme Court for the denial of the extraordinary recourse soliciting that the debt be converted to pesos.

In July 2008, the Court of Appeals notified LLR that by means of a resolution dated June 18, 2008 it had confirmed the settlement approved by the court of original jurisdiction.

On March 17, 2009, the National Supreme Court admitted the incidental procedure and decided to suspend the enforcement of the judgment in so far as the extraordinary appeal lodged by LLR is not resolved.

On February 23, 2010, the Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the action, which rendered the judgment final and compelled LLR to pay the amount calculated by the State. On April, 2010 LLR paid Ps. 13,122 in cash and bonds.

After LLR’s filing was duly notified to the plaintiff, the latter in turn stated that the amounts deposited were in line with the settlement that, having taken place on June 30, 2007, was eventually approved in the framework of these proceedings on December 5, 2007. As a result, the Argentine Agency of National Parks argued that the interest accrued until actual payment were to be adjusted by application of the Argentine Central Bank’s borrowing interest rate. As estimated by the Argentine Agency of National Parks, the outstanding balance, to be deposited by LLR would amount to US$ 659.

NOTE  6: (continued)

 

On June 10, 2010, LLR was notified of the newly-performed settlement: LLR filed an objection against it in due time and manner. On June 17, 2010, the court ordered that the plaintiff was to be served notice of the objection.

On August 6, 2010, the plaintiff filed a response to the most recent service of process. On September 10, 2010, the trial court judge resolved that the amount deposited by Llao Llao Resorts S.A. is not sufficient to cover the amount of the payment order. An appeal against this resolution was filed on behalf of Llao Llao Resorts S.A. alleging that there has been a material error incurred by the trial court.

In addition, on September 22, 2010, the judge calculated that the fees payable to the auctioneer who took part in the proceedings amount to Ps. 1.8 million. LLR lodged an appeal against the award for considering the amount excessively high. The auctioneer, in turn, lodged his appeal against the award for considering the amount excessively low. On November 26, the proceedings file was sent to the Appellate Court. By November 29, and agreement was reached.

Based on the information provided by the legal advisors litigating these proceedings, LLR has booked Ps. 2,618 under “Other current liabilities – Payables to National Parks Administration”, that is, the amount in Pesos equivalent to the abovementioned interest claimed by the plaintiff plus the amount of fees described in the above paragraph, which in total amounts to Ps. 4,418.

Pledge on BrasilAgro’s shares and warrants

Based on Note 8.A.1, as guarantee for the payment of the outstanding balance from the acquisition of BrasilAgro’s shares and warrants, 3,864,086 shares and 37,325 warrants from the first issue are pledged.

 

  B. Real Estate Business

 

  1. IRSA

 

  a. Puerto Retiro S.A.

On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A (indirect subsidiary of IRSA) was notified of a filing made by the National Government, through the Ministry of Defense, to extend the petition in bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. (Indarsa) to Puerto Retiro S.A. At the request of plaintiff, the bankruptcy court granted an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro S.A. to sell or dispose in any manner the acquired real estate property from Tandanor S.A. in June 1993.

Indarsa had acquired 90% of the capital stock of Tandanor S.A. to a formerly estate owned company privatized in 1991, engaged in the shipyard industry.

Indarsa did not comply with the payment of the outstanding price for the acquisition of the stock of Tandanor, and therefore the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa, pursuing to extend the bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro S.A.

The evidence steps of the legal procedures have been completed. Puerto Retiro S.A. appealed the precautionary measure, being the same confirmed by the Court on December 14, 2000. The parties have submitted their claims in due time. The file was passed for the judge to issue a pronouncement, the judge issued a decree adjourning the summoning of decisions to pronouncement in the understanding that there exists pre-judgment in respect of the penal cause filed against ex-officers of the Ministry of Defense and ex-directors of the Company. Consequently, the matter will not be solved until there is final judgment in penal jurisdiction.

The Management and legal advisors of Puerto Retiro S.A. estimate that there are legal and technical issues sufficient to consider that the request for bankruptcy will be denied by the court. However, taking the circumstances into account and the progress of the legal action, this position cannot be considered final.

NOTE 7: (continued)

 

  b. Mortgage guaranteed loan Hoteles Argentinos S.A.

In March 2005, Credit Suisse First Boston (“CSFB”) acquired the debt for US$ 11.1 million of Hoteles Argentinos S.A. (“HASA”), which had been in non-compliance since January 2002. In April 2006 HASA made a payment reducing the capital amount payable to US$ 6.0 million. The balance accrued interests at a LIBO rate 6 months plus 7.0%, being the last of US$ 5.07 due in March 2010.

Jointly, IRSA subscripted a credit default swap for 80% of the restructured debt value in order to protect CSFB in case of non-compliance with HASA’s obligations. As compensation, IRSA will receive a payment of a coupon on a periodical basis. In addition, to support the obligations assumed, IRSA deposited as guarantee the amount of US$ 1.2 million.

With the last installment of the loan received having been repaid on March 15, 2010, CSFB reimbursed the deposit to IRSA. In connection with this matter, HASA borrowed funds from Standard Bank Argentina again, in the amount of Ps. 19,000, which will accrue interest at a fixed nominal 16.25% interest rate per annum, payable on a quarterly basis and with principal becoming due on March 15, 2011.

As a security interest for this transaction, IRSA entered into a put option agreement with Standard Bank whereby the Bank receives the right to sell to IRSA, which in turn agrees to purchase, 80% of the credit rights arising from the loan in the event of HASA’s default.

  2. Expanding business into the Republic of Paraguay

Under the framework of a series of transactions that constitute for Cresud a new expansion of the agricultural and livestock businesses in South America, on September 3, 2008, the Company executed jointly with Carlos Casado S.A., an Argentine company owning large stretches of land in southern Paraguay, a framework agreement by which it was decided to generate synergy between both companies to do business on the real estate, agricultural and livestock, and forestry markets, as well as series of related agreements aiming at formalizing the productive coalition between both companies.

Within such context, Cresud participates together with Carlos Casado (with a 50% interest each) in Cresca S.A. a stock company organized under the law of the Republic of Paraguay, under which Cresud will assume the capacity of advisor under an advisory agreement, for the agricultural, livestock and forestry exploitation of an important rural area in Paraguay and possibly of up to 100,000 hectares also located in Paraguay, which are derived from the purchase option granted by Carlos Casado to Cresca S.A. It should be mentioned that this option was exercised on September 3, 2008.

The advisory agreement shall be valid for 10 year terms as from the date the framework agreement is executed and will automatically renewed for two additional 10-year period as from maturity date of the original period, in turn being able to be renewed after the expiration of the additional period.

Cresud has additionally executed a pre-purchase agreement as committed to acquire for a 50% interest in 41,931 hectares in Paraguay, owned by Carlos Casado S.A. for a total and agreed-upon amount of US$ 5.2 million in turn, to be contributed in kind to the Company aiming at developing the agricultural and forestry business in the neighboring country.

NOTE 8: (continued)

 

On January 23, 2009, Agrology S.A. directly and indirectly controlled by 99.99% by Cresud made a contribution in kind to the Paraguayan company, Cresca S.A. Such contribution is made up of undivided 50% of five plots of land with whatever they have on, located in Mariscal José Félix Estigarribia, Dept. of Boquerón, Chaco Paraguayo, Republic of Paraguay, for 41,931 hectares, acquired from the Company Carlos Casado S.A.

Consequently, together with Carlos Casado S.A.’s contribution, the total contribution to Cresca S.A. stands at US$ 10.5 million.

On February 3, 2009, the previously called general shareholders’ meetings were held at Cresca S.A. headquarters, whose agenda included among other matters, the capital increase and the issuance of shares of such company as well as the ratification of those agreements that are among the transactions that together with Carlos Casado S.A. had been planned and that at present Cresud will develop through its affiliate, Agrology S.A.

Likewise, on that date, the amount of US$ 5.2 million was paid for the balance of the price originated by the capital contribution made by Carlos Casado S.A. to Cresca S.A. on behalf of Agrology S.A. and which resulted from the in-kind contribution of five plots of land located in The Republic of Paraguay, as it was mentioned opportunately.

On March 19, 2010 and in connection with the option already exercised related to the Option Property, Cresca S.A. required from Carlos Casado S.A. that 3,614 hectares (out of which 1,807 hectares belonging to Agrology S.A.) be transferred to it.

  B. Real Estate Business

 

  1. IRSA

 

  a. Constitution of CYRSA – Horizons Project

In January 2007, IRSA acquired two adjacent plots of land adjacent located in Vicente López, Province of Buenos Aires (one of them through the acquisition of the total share of Rummaala S.A, actually merged with CYRSA). The purchase price was US$ 36.2 million, from which US$ 30.3 million will be canceled by handing over certain units of the building to be constructed. As security for compliance, Rummaala S.A. shares were pledged and the Building located in Suipacha 652 (owned property) was mortgaged.

In April, 2007, IRSA constituted CYRSA S.A. (“CYRSA”), and in August 2007, CYRELA was incorporated with the ownership of 50% of CYRSA capital stock. IRSA contributed with the plots of land and the liability in kind related in the amount of Ps. 21,495 and CYRELA contributed Ps. 21,495 in cash.

Then, a major real estate development known as “Horizons” was launched on the two plots of land mentioned.

From May 2008, CYRSA continued the marketing process of the building units to be constructed on the plot referred to above. Certain clients had made advances by means of signing preliminary sales contracts, reaching 100% of the units to be marketed, which are disclosed in “Customer advances”.

The purchase-sale price set forth in these preliminary sales contracts are made of a fixed and determined portion and another portion to be determined in line with the future construction expenses.

The buyer can choose from the following purchase plans:

 

   

The balance is cancelled in installments and is fully paid at the time of transfer and signature of deeds, 02.

 

   

Partial cancellation will be on installments payable up to the time of transfer/signatures of deeds, the remaining balance to be financed during 90 months´ term with units having mortgaged guarantees.

Through preliminary sales agreements, CYRSA has committed to transfer the functional units before February 2011 to the latest. However, there is a six-month grace period for that duty.

As of December 31, 2010, the percentage of completion of the Horizons project was 93.24% considering the cost incurred in relation to the total estimated project costs.

 

  b. Acquisition of shares of Hersha Hospitality Trust (“Hersha”)

On August 4, 2009, IRSA, through Real Estate Investment Group L.P. (REIG) acquired 5.7 million shares representing approximately 10.4% of Hersha´s common stock and a call option that matures on August 4, 2014 to purchase an additional 5.7 million shares at an exercise price of US$ 3.00 per share. Under the agreement, if starting on August 4, 2011 the quoted market price of Hersha´s share were to exceed US$ 5.00 per share during 20 consecutive trading sessions, Hersha may settle the call option by issuing and delivering a variable amount of shares to be determined in accordance with certain market values. The total purchase price paid was US$ 14.3 million. As part of the agreement, IRSA´s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, has been appointed to Hersha’s Board of Trustees.

In January 2010, March 2010, and October 2010, REIG purchased 11,606,542 additional shares of Hersha’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of US$ 47.9 million. (4,789,917 for US$ 3.00 per share and 3,864,000 for US$ 4.25 per share and 2,952,625 a US$ 5.80 per share).

During December 2010, REIG sold 1,500,000 common shares of Hersha for a total of US$ 9.8 million, which resulted in approximately US$ 6.9 million gain.

As of December 31, 2010 IRSA´s interest in Hersha represents 10.72%. On the other hand, upon exercise of the call option and assuming any Company´s interest is not diluted due to newly issued shares, IRSA´s interest in Hersha would be 13.63%. IRSA accounts for its investment in Hersha at cost while the call option has been accounted for at its fair value.

NOTE 8: (continued)

 

Hersha is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the “HT” symbol that holds majority interests in 77 hotels throughout the United States of America totaling approximately 9,951 rooms. These hotels are rated as “select service” and “upscale hotels” and they are mainly located in the Northeast coast of the US, including New York, New Jersey, Boston, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, whilst a few are located in northern California and some others in Arizona. These properties are operated under franchises that are leaders and enjoy widespread recognition in their markets, such as Marriot International, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Starwood Hotels, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Global Hyatt Corporation and Choice Hotels International.

 

  c. Acquisition Lipstick, New York Building

In July 2008, IRSA (through its subsidiaries) acquired a 30% interest in Metropolitan 885 “Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue. LLC” (o “Metropolitan”), through its subsidiaries which main asset is a rental office building in New York City known as the “Lipstick Building” and debt related to that asset. The transaction included the acquisition of (i) a put right exercisable until July 2011 to sell a 50% of the interest acquired at the same value paid plus interest at 4.5% per annum and (ii) a right of first offer to acquire a 60% portion of the 5% interest of the shareholding. The total price paid was US$ 22.6 million.

During 2009, Metropolitan incurred significant losses, which resulted in negative equity mainly due to an impairment recognized in connection with the building. Since IRSA’s share in Metropolitan’s losses exceeded its equity interest; IRSA recognized a zero value on its investment although a liability of US$ 1.5 million was booked representing it’s maximum commitment to fund Metropolitan’s operations.

In December 2010 the negotiations geared towards restructuring the amounts owed under mortgage to Royal Bank of Canada came to a successful conclusion. The debt was reduced from US$ 210.0 million to US$ 130.0 million (excluding accrued interest) at a Libor plus 400 basic points rate, which may not exceed a maximum rate of 6.25% and with a maturity date fixed at seven years. The junior indebtedness to Goldman, Sach & Co., which had amounted to US$ 45.0 million (excluding accrued interest), was cancelled through a US$ 2.25 million payment.

NOTE 8: (continued)

 

Metropolitan will maintain the existing ground leases in the same terms and conditions in which they had been initially agreed upon, for a remaining 66 years’ term. The final consent to this restructuring has already been tendered by all the parties concerned and the closing was consummated on December 30, 2010, as that is when the company New Lipstick LLC (“New Lipstick”), a new Metropolitan holding company, made a US$ 15.0 million principal payment as repayment of the newly restructured mortgage debt, thus reducing it from US$ 130.0 million to US$ 115.0 million.

As a consequence of said closing, the Company has indirectly – through New Lipstick – increased its equity interest in the Lipstick Building to 49%. This increase originated in a US$ 15.3 million capital contribution and in the fact that the put option for 50% of the shareholding initially acquired, which had amounted to approximately US$ 11.3 million plus accrued interest, has been rendered ineffectual. Besides, the above-mentioned commitment, for US$ 1.5 million, ceased to be in effect.

 

  d. Acquisition of shares of Banco Hipotecario S.A.

In fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2009, IRSA (through its subsidiaries) acquired, in arm’s length conditions, from Dolphin Fund PLC and from Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A., the equivalent of 143,627,987 shares of Banco Hipotecario S.A. (BHSA) in exchange for Ps. 107.6 million of which 78.8 million were paid in July, 2009. The transaction was recognized by the “acquisition method” (see Note 2.j.2. to the Unaudited Basic Financial Statements) generating a gain of Ps. 133.0 million, each year. As a result of these acquisitions, as of June 30, 2009 IRSA had a 21.34% interest in BHSA’s capital stock (excluding treasury shares).

During the year ended June 30, 2010, IRSA (through its subsidiaries) acquired the equivalent of 100,417,816 shares of BHSA for an amount of Ps. 118.7 million of which Ps. 112.6 million were paid as of June 30, 2010 and the balance was paid during this present period. The transaction was recorded by application of the “acquisition method” (See Note 2.j.2. to the Unaudited Basic Financial Statements), a gain in the year of Ps. 70.4 million. As result of this transaction, as of June 30, 2010, the IRSA ownership interest in BHSA was 28.03% (without considering treasury shares).

During the present period, IRSA exercised its preemptive rights and took part in the offer mentioned in Note 12.B.1 acquiring 26,197,564 Class D shares totaling Ps. 36.2 million.

During November 2010, E-Commerce S.A. sold in the market 75,000 Class D shares of BHSA for a price of Ps. 3.2867 per share, which totaled Ps. 0.2 million.

NOTE 8: (continued)

 

After the above-mentioned purchases, as of December 31, 2010, IRSA’s ownership interest in BHSA increased from to 29.77% of BHSA´S capital stock (without considering treasury shares).

On July 26, 2010, in the framework of an offer launched by BHSA’s Board of Directors for the sale to existing shareholders of 36.0 million of its treasury Class D shares in portfolio, Banco Hipotecario S.A. sold approximately 26.9 million of said shares.

Exercising its preemptive right, IRSA took part in the offer and acquired 4,352,243 Class D shares totaling Ps. 6.0 million. As a result of this transaction, as of the date of issuance of these Financial Statements, IRSA’s equity interest in BHSA increased from 5% to 5.29% (excluding the treasury shares in portfolio). By virtue of the provisions arising from the Bank’s by-laws, the shares acquired do not entitle holders to vote or to collect dividends and/or any other distributions.

On January 7, 2011, IRSA sold to Palermo Invest S.A. the equivalent of 4,352,243 Class D ordinary shares of BHSA for US$ 3.3 million. As a result of the sale, IRSA’s interest in BHSA is once again 5% (without considering the treasury shares in portfolio) and thus outside the scope of the restrictions imposed by the by-laws previously discussed.

 

  e. Acquisition of companies in the Oriental Republic of Uruguay

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, IRSA (through Tyrus) acquired by a minimum payment a 100% stake in Liveck S.A. (Liveck), a company organized under the laws of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay.

At the same time Liveck acquired, a 90% interest over the shares of the companies Zetol S.A (Zetol) and Vista al Muelle S.A. (Vista al Muelle), both property owners in Uruguay´s Canelones Department. The remaining 10% ownership interest in the capital stock of both companies is held by Banzey S.A. (Banzey).

IRSA and its shareholders intend to develop an urban project that will consist in the construction of apartment buildings to be subsequently sold. The project has already been conferred the “Urban Feasibility” status by Canelones’ Mayor’s Office and its Legislative Council.

NOTE 8: (continued)

 

The total price for the purchase of Zetol was US$ 7.0 million, of which US$ 2.0 million were paid, the balance will be paid in 5 installments of US$ 1.0 million each with an annual 3.5% compensatory interest calculated on the total outstanding amount tied to the consummation of the release to the market of the real estate projects or within a maximum term of 93 months counted as from the date of acquisition of IRSA. The sellers of the shares of Zetol may choose to receive, in lieu of the amounts outstanding in cash (capital plus interest) the ownership rights to the units to be built in the real estate owned by Zetol representative of 12% of the total marketable square meters to built.

The total price for the purchase and sale of all the shares of Vista al Muelle amounted to US$ 0.83 million, and accrued an annual 8% interest on the total outstanding amount. As of September 10, 2010 this operation was completely paid.

To guarantee compliance with the duties agreed by Liveck in the above transactions, Ritelco S.A. has tendered a surety bond guaranteeing payment of 45% of the outstanding balance, interest thereon and the option rights of the sellers.

In the framework of the agreement for the purchase and sale of Zetol and Vista al Muelle and their respective addenda, Liveck has agreed to buy the shares held by Banzey (or by Ernesto Kimelman or by a company owned by Ernesto Kimelman, as applicable), of Vista al Muelle and Zetol and the latter have agreed to sell them, in exchange for the amount of US Dollars or Uruguayan Pesos, as the case may be, that Banzey (or by Ernesto Kimelman or by a company owned by Ernesto Kimelman, as applicable), would have actually contributed to Zetol and Vista al Muelle until the execution of said purchase and sale.

Both parties have agreed that all the obligations mentioned above shall be rendered ineffectual if the parties entered into a shareholder agreement no later than July 1st, 2011. If no such shareholder agreement is signed, this sale shall be executed and delivered on July 11, 2011.

Later, in June 2009, IRSA sold 50% of its stake in Liveck to Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. for a price of US$ 1.3 million.

In December 2009, Vista al Muelle acquired other properties totaling US$ 1.9 million in exchange for a US$ 0.3 million down payment, with the balance to be cancelled through the delivery of home units and/or stores to be built and equivalent to 12% out of 65.54% of the sum of the prices of all of the units covered by the Launching Price List for Sector B (the parties have already signed a plat of subdivision to this end).

This amount is equivalent to the contributions made in Liveck by Cyrela. Therefore, IRSA´s interest in Liveck amounted to 100% (through Tyrus).

As part of the agreement, IRSA agreed to hold Cyrela harmless in the event of claims asserted by Zetol’s sellers. Besides, if within a term of 24 months as from the date of the agreement Cyrela were not released from the guarantee tendered in favor of the above-mentioned sellers, IRSA will be obliged to post a new guarantee in favor of Cyrela, equivalent to 45% of the price balance, interest thereon and the option rights to which Zetol’s sellers are entitled.

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Below there is a description of the most relevant accounting standards used by the Company in the preparation of these Financial Statements, which have been applied on a consistent basis from the previous period.

 

  a. Presentation standards

These financial statements are stated in Argentine Pesos (Ps.) and have been prepared in accordance with the disclosure and valuation accounting standards contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (FACPCE), as approved, with resolutions issued by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CPCECABA) and the Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV).

The Company’s results for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 have not been audited. The Company’s management estimates that they include all the adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for each period.

The Company’s six-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 results do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Company’s full-year results.

 

  b. The effects of inflation

The financial statements have been prepared in constant currency units recognizing the effects of inflation up to August 31, 1995. As from this date and under professional accounting standards and as required by the enforcement agency, financial statements as of December 31, 2001 were no longer restated. As from January 1st, 2002 and under professional accounting standards, effects for inflation restarted to be recognized considering that accounting measurements restated for the change in the currency purchasing power until August 31, 1995, as those whose original date fell between such date and December 31, 2001, were stated in pesos as of such last date.

On March 25, 2003, the Federal Executive issued Decree No. 664, which established that the financial statements for year ended after such date should be stated in nominal currency. Consequently, in conformity with Resolution No. 441/03 issued by the CNV, the Company discontinued the restatement of financial statements as from March 1, 2003. Such method does not agree with current professional accounting standards, which require that financial statements should be restated until December 31, 2003. However, given the little significance of inflation rates from March through September 2003, this departure has not generated a significant effect on the financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE  1: (continued)

 

The rate used for restatement of items until February 28, 2003 was the domestic whole revenue price index published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.

 

  c. Comparative Information

Amounts as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results for the period ended December 31, 2009, which are disclosed in these financial statements for comparative purposes have been taken from the financial statements as of such dates.

The financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 originally issued have been subject to certain reclassifications required in order to present these figures comparatively with this period.

These financial statements have been prepared giving effect to the spin-off - merger mentioned in Note 14.2; consequently, the stand-alone financial statements as of December 31, 2010 are not comparable with those issued as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

 

  d. Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assessments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at that date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.

Estimates are used when accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciations and amortizations, income taxes, deferred liabilities, translation differences, provisions for lawsuits and contingencies, accrual for expenses and assets’ recoverable value and classification of the current and non-current assets and the current value of the assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

  e. Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards

The National Securities Commission, through the Resolution 562, has mandated that the Technical Resolution No. 26 of the FACPCE is to be applied by the companies admitted to the public offering system under Law No. 17,811 in connection with either their capital stock and/or negotiable obligations, and/or by the companies that have applied for admission to the public offering system. FACPCE’s Technical Resolution No. 26 adopts the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Company shall apply the IFRS as from the fiscal year beginning on July 1st, 2012.

  2. Acquisitions of equity interests in companies

The significant acquisitions of companies are booked according to the “acquisition method” as established by Technical Resolution No. 18 and Technical Resolution No. 21. This implies identifying and determining the current values of assets and liabilities acquired, a process requiring complex judgments and significant estimations.

As regards the acquisition of BrasilAgro’s shares and the increase in the interest in Cactus during the current year, the Company is in the process of analyzing the current values of the assets and liabilities acquired identifiable as provided by Technical Resolution No. 21, point 1.3.1.

 

  3. Goodwill

 

   

Goodwill

The goodwill represents the excess acquisition cost above the market value of net assets from those subsidiaries acquired at the equity percentage.

The residual value of the goodwill generated by acquiring interests in the companies has been disclosed in the Investments on controlled and related companies account (Schedule C).

Upon defining the useful life, the following factors have been considered: (i) nature and expected life of acquired businesses; (ii) stability and expected life of the respective industry branch; (iii) effects that the obsolescence of products, changes in demand and other economic factors may have on the acquired business; (iv) feasibility of maintaining the required disbursement value to obtain future economic benefits from the acquired business and (v) the control period over the acquired business and legal or contractual provisions that may affect its useful life.

Based on these factors, the Company has estimated that it is not possible to estimate the specific useful life for the goodwill generated by applying the “acquisition method” provided by Technical Resolution No. 18, and it has therefore determined that they shall have an undefined useful life.

The values thus obtained, do not exceed their respective estimated recoverable values at the end of the period/fiscal year.

It should be considered that the allocation of net funds obtained from the offer has been and may continue occasionally to be influenced by current market conditions and, consequently, in the section “Allocation of funds” in the capital increase issuance prospectus, we have reserved the right to reallocate the whole or a portion of such anticipated uses to other uses that we consider consistent with our strategy.

NOTE  17: (Continued)

 

In turn, the Company has filed an extraordinary appeal to the High Court of the Province of Catamarca, requesting for a remainder term to answer the lawsuit as, at the time of revoking the first instance judge decision that postponed the terms to answer until a new notice was dispatched, such period had not yet expired. The management of the Company is awaiting the decision of the High Court of the Province of Catamarca.

Additionally, in March 2007 -under the request of Exagrind S.A.- the court in charge of the case seized an inhibition of assets. This decision was lifted in June 2007 and Tali Sumaj farm on attachment has been accepted in replacement.

It should be noted that during fiscal year 2010, it was executed the title deed for the sale of such establishment and because as of the closing date of these financial statements the attachment-in-aid-of-execution had not been lifted, the Company assumed certain obligations and provided a surety insurance to guarantee its obligation on behalf of the purchaser (Note 12).

NOTE  19: (Continued)

 

This decision was taken to contribute to the decrease in the draw down and reduction of fluctuations in the listed price of the Company’s shares aiming at contributing to strengthening the shares on the market, minimizing possible temporary imbalances that there may be between the supply and demand on the market, considering the excessive cost of capital that the current listed prices showed.

Later, the terms and conditions for the acquisitions were amended on many occasions by the Board of Directors due to the plummeting market and worsened in turn by the general context in international. Some amendments were:

 

   

The maximum amount to be invested was increased to Ps. 82,000.

 

   

The maximum amount of shares subject to acquisition to up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock, face value of Ps. 1 per share and entitled to 1 vote per share, in shares or American Depositary Shares (“ADR´s”) representing 10 shares each as provided by applicable regulations.

 

   

The price to be paid for the shares was established between a minimum Ps. 1 per share and up to Ps. 3.50 per share.

 

   

The deadline to make acquisition was successively extended.

As of June 30, 2009, purchases of proprietary shares amounted to 2,935,641 ADRs and 643,590 shares of common stock paying an amount of US$ 21 million and Ps. 1,745, respectively.

In accordance with the law of commercial companies, the Board of Directors shall dispose of the shares acquired within a period of one year unless an extension is provided for a Shareholders meeting. On November 13, 2009, the Board of Directors seeking to comply with the mandate granted by the Shareholders meeting held on October 29, 2009, resolved to start attributing and assigning on a prorate basis 25,000,000 proprietary treasury shares with a face value of Ps. 1 entitled to 1 vote each. Such assignment was made as from November 23, 2009, at 0.5301792784 shares per share with a face value of Ps. 1 each and 0.5301792784 shares per ADR. As upon making the attribution calculation, it yielded the need to distribute fractions of shares, they were settled in cash under the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange Regulations. Therefore, 754 shares have not been attributed and they remain in the Company’s treasury together with previously existing 5,000,000 shares.

NOTE  21: (continued)

 

For the purposes of determining the concession fee, 2,000 hectares in the southern area rented out to Compañía Argentina de Granos are excluded.

On August 29, 2008, the Memorandum of Understanding was approved by Decree No. 3,766 of the Executive Power of the Province of Salta. Consequently, the disposals contained in the mentioned decree will have effect from the referred date.

NOTE  22: CAPITALIZATION PROGRAM FOR EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT

The Company together with its related Company IRSA has developed a capitalization program for executive management staff through contributions made by employees and by the Company (the “Plan”).

The Plan is addressed to employees selected by those Companies with the purpose of keeping them in the company and increasing their total compensation through an extraordinary reward, provided that certain specific conditions are complied with.

Participation and contributions to the Plan are on a voluntary basis. Once the beneficiary (the “Participant”) has accepted, he will be able to make two types of contributions: a monthly one (based on the salary) and an extraordinary one (based on the annual bonus). The suggested contribution is up to 2.5% of the salary and up to 15% of the annual bonus. On the other hand, the Company contribution will be 200% of the monthly contributions and 300% of the employee´s extraordinary contributions.

Funds collected from participants´ contributions will initially be sent to an independent financial means especially created for such purpose and placed in Argentina as a Common Investment Fund, which will be approved by the C.N.V. Such funds will be freely redeemed under the requirement of the participants.

The funds arising from the Company contributions will flow to other independent financial means separated from the previous one.

In the future, the participants or their successors will have access to 100% of the Program Benefits (that is, including Company contributions made in favor of the financial means especially created) under the circumstances that follow:

 

   

ordinary retirement in line with the applicable working regulations

 

   

total or permanent disability or inability

 

   

death.

Progress in complying with the IFRS implementation plan

On April 29, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a specific plan to implement the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). As established in such plan, the Company started training its personnel from its accounting and tax areas, and the personnel from most of its affiliates and related companies, planning to complete this training during fiscal year 2011. On the other hand, it started working on the initial process to diagnose differences in standards.

As a result of monitoring the specific IFRS implementation plan, the Board of Directors has not become aware of any circumstance requiring amendments to such plan or indicating a potential departure from the proposed goals and terms.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Buenos Aires, February 11, 2011 - Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (Nasdaq: CRESY – BASE: CRES), one of the leading agricultural companies in Argentina, announces today its results for the first semester of fiscal year 2011 ended December 31, 2010.

Consolidated agribusiness sales for the period amounted to Ps. 257.9 million, 116.1% higher than those posted for the first six months of the previous fiscal year. This increase was caused mainly by farm sales of Ps. 71.1 million resulting from the sale of “La Juanita” farm, a 54.6% increase in the sales of crops and a 272.5% increase in the sales of beef cattle compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Agribusiness production revenues amounted to Ps. 89.9 million in the period ended December 31, 2010, 112.0% higher than those recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The increase is explained mainly by a 122.8% rise in grain production and a 166.9% increase in the beef cattle segment.

Consolidated sales in the real estate business were Ps. 698.0 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010. This represents an improvement from the Ps. 664.6 million in sales for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Gross profit during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 amounted to Ps. 505.9 million compared to Ps. 426.4 million during the same period of the previous year. The increase of Ps. 79.5 million in the gross profit between both periods mainly reflects an improvement of Ps. 78.3 million in the agribusiness segment and of Ps. 1.2 million in the real estate business.

Operating results for the period showed a Ps. 359.4 million profit, composed of operating income of Ps. 294.1 million in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. (“IRSA”)’s segments for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 and a Ps. 65.3 million profit from Cresud’s agribusiness activities for the same period. This represents an improvement of Ps. 79.0 million as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. This is explained mainly by an increase of Ps. 70.3 million in agribusiness operating results, prompted by higher prices and margins in the beef cattle segment, and the gain resulting from the sale of “La Juanita” farm.

Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 amounted to Ps. 107.0 million, compared to a Ps. 141.8 million income posted in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This is explained mainly by the higher financial burden resulting from the issuance of debt securities by our subsidiary IRSA and lower results from our interest in subsidiaries.

Summary of Operations

Crops

In Argentina, although the drought conditions affected production forecasts, lowering them by 6% for corn and 3% for soybean according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the wheat harvest has hit record figures. The expected reduction in production at country level, which is not as serious as in the 2008 season, has been largely offset by the increase in prices, which rose 90% for corn and 48% for soybean during this period, according to CBOT quotations.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

 

For this season we have 59,561 hectares in operation in our own farms, 51,927 in leased farms and 10,467 in farms under concession, totaling approximately 122 thousand hectares.

In Argentina, we have already planted approximately 8,060 hectares of wheat, 28,238 hectares of soybean and 29,948 hectares of corn. In Bolivia, thanks to double harvesting we were able to plant during the summer season, reaching approximately 15,566 hectares of soybean and 3,940 hectares of corn.

If we consider the exploited hectares operated by BrasilAgro and AgroUranga S.A., the aggregate planted surface area would stand at approximately 184 thousand hectares, an increase of more than 20% compared to the hectares in operation in the previous season.

Production revenues rose 122.8%, from Ps. 25.5 million to Ps. 56.9 million. This increase reflects a 103% increase in production amounts and to a 10% extent, by higher prices, reaching an average price per ton of Ps. 649. In this way, we achieved a production result of Ps. 8.7 million, spurred mostly by the international segment thanks to double harvesting.

Sales revenues rose 55% as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 69.7 million to Ps. 107.9 million. This increase is explained by a 31% improvement in sales volumes and to an 18% extent, by higher prices, achieving an average sales price of Ps. 799 per ton. Therefore, income from sales tripled as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 5.9 million to Ps. 15.4 million.

The lower increases in sales and production prices compared to the general evolution of commodity prices in the past year were motivated by a change in the production and sales mix, in which corn has increased its share.

Gross profit for the period quadrupled, from Ps. 6.0 million to Ps. 24.1 million.

Beef Cattle

During this semester live steer prices increased by 103% in Argentina according to figures released by the Ministry of Agriculture. This improvement in prices has resulted in a reduction in heifer slaughtering rates, showing a reversion in the trend which had brought Argentine cattle stocks down to an all-time low since 1989.

As of December 31, 2010 we had 101,722 hectares allocated to beef cattle production.

Sales revenues increased 273% as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 10.0 million to Ps. 37.4 million. This increase is explained by a 47% improvement in amounts sold and to a 153% extent, by higher prices.

Production revenues increased by 167% as compared to the same period of the previous year, from Ps. 5.5 million to Ps. 14.7 million. This increase is explained by a 34% improvement in amounts produced and to a 99% extent, by higher prices.

Gross profit improved from a Ps. 4.8 million loss in the first semester of fiscal year 2010 to a Ps. 2.0 million profit in this period, explained by an improvement in production margins.

Operating results of the beef cattle segment tripled as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, up from Ps. 13.1 million to Ps. 41.8 million. This improvement was caused mainly by holding results for Ps. 47.8 million, resulting from the strong appreciation of the stock experienced recently as a consequence of the improvement in beef cattle prices.

Milk

Prices have shown signs of stability, underpinned in part by the high international prices of powder milk.

Operating results in the milk segment amounted to an income of Ps. 3.1 million gain in the first semester of fiscal year 2011, compared to a Ps. 0.6 million loss in the same semester of the previous fiscal year. This improvement is explained by higher production revenues, which were spurred by a 5.5% increase in the liters of milk produced and an improvement of approximately 53.0% in average milk prices during the period, as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Sale of Farms

On September 3, 2010, Cresud executed a title deed whereby it sold and surrendered possession of the “La Juanita” farm.

The transaction was agreed for a total price of US$ 18.0 million. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately Ps. 49.4 million.

Within the framework of the transaction, the Company signed a commodatum agreement until January 10, 2011 on some fractions of the abovementioned property, with the intention to continue with productive activities there until such date.

BrasilAgro has ended its summer planting for the 2010/2011 crop season with 58,500 hectares planted, as per the following breakdown: 39,200 hectares of soybean, 6,400 of corn, rice and cotton, 4,400 of pastures and 8,500 hectares of sugar cane.

During this semester, BrasilAgro increased its net sales of crops by 186% as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, from R$ 5.5 million to R$ 15.7 million, as a result of the increase in planted areas and yields. In addition, sugar cane was added during this season, resulting in net sales of R$ 17.5 million. All of this favorably impacted on Cresud, with positive results of Ps. 1.2 million.

On January 20 an appraisal of BrasilAgro’s farms was made, which resulted in an amount of R$ 816 million, 109% higher than the aggregate amount invested in such farms.

On January 3, 2011, BrasilAgro filed its issuance prospectus with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) for it to review the registration of a primary public offering of common shares issued by the Company (“Offer” and “Shares”), whose related capital increase will be resolved upon by its Board of Directors in due course.

Sale of IRSA’s Series I Notes

During November and December 2010, the company sold in the over-the-counter market IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima’s Series I Fixed Rate Notes due 2017 for a principal amount of US$ 33,152,000. As a result of this sale, the Company’s received US$ 34,097,674 in proceeds, on account of principal and interest coupons.

Collection of Cash dividends

On November 23, 2010, $ 60,720,150 were collected as cash dividends paid by IRSA to its shareholders.

Payment of Cash dividends

On December 9, 2010, the company’s board of directors approved the distribution of cash dividends for $ 69,000,000. They were made available on January 7, 2011.

Capital Increase in Cactus Argentina

On December 23, 2010, Cactus Argentina increased its capital stock by $ 16,000,000, including issue premium. Therefore, Cresud’s interest in Cactus reached 80%.

Prospects for next quarter

At global level, crop prices have increased sharply in the recent months. In Chicago, soybean price rose 25.9% during the second quarter of this fiscal year.

There is a correlation between these increases and the USDA’s downward revisions of U.S. crop forecasts. The lower than expected supply and the firm demand prompted by the growth experienced in the large emerging economies have had a strong impact on prices. Grain inventory stocks relative to consumption levels are at historically lows (reaching the lowest figures for the past 15 and 30 years in the case of corn and soybean, respectively), another factor that squeezes future supply even further, fueling price increases.

On the other hand, the uncertainty related to the value of fiduciary currencies resulting from the various monetary flexibilization programs implemented by central banks at world level boosts the potential for appreciation of the real assets in Cresud’s portfolio: commodities and real estate.

At production level, prospects are promising. The wheat season has been excellent and the potential reduction in soybean and corn yields due to the La Niña weather effect has been offset by higher prices. In addition, we continue to increase our planted hectares, which have risen by 20% to 184 thousand in the current fiscal year, including Brasilagro. In this sense, the consummation of our purchase of Brasilagro’s stake marks a continuation in our strategy to penetrate in the region and increase production volumes, in line with our objective of forming a regional portfolio with significant development and appreciation potential.

In Argentina, we are making progress in our strategy of supplementing agriculture in our own farms with agricultural activities in leased farms and farms under concession. As regards leases, we have focused on renting lands in more centric areas, seeking to stabilize yields and supplement our development activities in our own farms.

As concerns transforming and adding value to our own hectares, we will continue developing our farms in Salta and Paraguay, where we expect to develop 16 thousand additional hectares to be placed into production in fiscal year 2012.

Finally, as concerns our dairy business, following the sale of the “La Juanita” establishment we will focus on milk production in our state-of-the-art dairy facility in El Tigre, which we plan to operate at full capacity. In this way, the actions described above related to the expansion of planted areas and the increase in Brasilagro’s stake are aimed at obtaining higher volumes in a scenario of attractive market prices.
