Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002

 

NOTE 1: ARGENTINE ECONOMIC CONTEXT

 

Argentina’s current economic situation is highly sensitive, its main indicators being high levels of external indebtedness, a financial system in critical conditions, sovereign risk at unprecedented high levels and an economic recession that has been going on for over 5 years. This situation has brought about a major fall in the demand for goods and services, a significant increase in unemployment and a deterioration in the Argentine Government’s ability to honor its commitments: at the end of fiscal 2001, Argentina announced that it would default on the services of the public debt. In late April 2003 presidential elections were held, and the new government will be inaugurated in late May 2003.

 

In response to the economic crisis, in December 2001, the Government restricted the free availability and circulation of cash as well as remittances abroad. Starting January 2002, laws were enacted, decrees issued and regulations imposed that dramatically changed the economic model in force until that time. These changes included the flotation of the exchange rate, which led to a significant devaluation of the Argentine Peso in the first months of fiscal 2002, the re-denomination into Pesos of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and held in Argentina and the resulting increase in domestic prices.

 

Impact on the Company’s economic situation

 

Following the devaluation of the Argentine Peso and the increase in the profitability of the agricultural-livestock business, the demand for land has begun to increase, which led to a considerable rise in US Dollar prices, which are now at levels comparable to those prior to the Argentine crisis. Given this scenario, the Company’s Board of Directors will be in a position to identify market opportunities for purchases and sales of land.

 

The evolution of the economic crisis may require the Government to modify some of the measures already taken or to issue additional regulations. Therefore, the Company’s financial statements must be read in the light of these circumstances.

 

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

As a consequence of the application of General Resolution No. 368/2001 of the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission, which requires that the Consolidated Financial Statements be presented as established by Technical Pronouncement No. 4 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2003 and 2002 and the Income Statements and the Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal periods then ended were consolidated on a line by line basis with the financial statements of such companies in which it holds a majority of the voting shares.

 

The Financial Statements of the Subsidiary Companies Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. and Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A. as of March 31, 2003 and 2002 have been used to determine the proportional equity value and carry out the consolidation. For purposes of comparability, reclassifications have been made on the information at March 31, 2002 to show it on a basis consistent with that for the current period.

 

These Financial Statements and the corresponding notes and schedules are prepared in Argentine Pesos.

NOTE 4: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Financial Statements of the Subsidiary Companies mentioned in Note 3 have been prepared based on accounting principles consistent with those followed by Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria for the preparation of its Financial Statements, as detailed in Note 3 of the individual financial statements.

 

The most significant valuation criteria used for the preparation of the Financial Statements of the Subsidiary Companies not detailed in the valuation criteria of the Parent Company were as follows:

 

Intangible Assets – Development expenditures

 

This line corresponds to website organization and development expenses incurred through March 31, 2001. These expenses are amortized by the straight-line method over thirty nine months as from April 1, 2001, and have been restated into period-end currency.

NOTE 2: PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN CONSTANT PESOS

 

a. Presentation standards

 

These financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos, and have been prepared in accordance with the disclosure and valuation accounting standards contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, as approved, with certain amendments, by the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires and the Argentine Securities Commission.

 

Financial Statements corresponding to the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 have not been audited. The management believes that all necessary adjustments should be carried out in order to reflect the results of the period.

 

The results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003 is not necessarily indicative of the results of the company for the whole fiscal year.

 

b. Accounting for inflation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Resolution M.D. 3/02 of the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires, which has established the application of Technical Resolution No. 6, as amended by Technical Resolution No. 19 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, as from fiscal years or interim periods ended on or after March 31, 2002.

 

As from March 1, 2003, Resolution 441/03 of the Argentine Securities Commission dated April 8, 2003, established that the method of restatement of financial statements in constant currency set forth in Technical Resolution No. 6, as amended by Technical Resolution No. 19, both issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.), was no longer applicable.

 

As a consequence of the above, the Company’s financial statements are presented in constant currency as of February 28, 2003, having considered the accounting measurements restated by the changes in the purchasing power of the currency until interruption of the adjustment and those arising in the period of stability, restated into currency of December 2001.

 

The impact of not applying inflation adjustment during the month of March 2003 does not imply any material adjustments in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2003.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

The coefficients prepared based on the domestic wholesale price index have been applied for purposes of the abovementioned restatement.

 

Amounts corresponding to the nine-period ended on March 31, 2002 have been restated at February 28, 2003 for purposes of presentation on a comparative basis.

 

c. New Accounting Standards

 

The Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires enacted the following technical resolutions: N° 16: “Conceptual regime for professional accounting regulations”; N° 17: “Professional accounting regulations: development of matters of general application”, N° 18: “Professional accounting regulations: development of some matters of particular application” and N° 19 “ Modifications to technical resolutions N° 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 14 and 20 “Derivative instruments and hedging transactions”, through Resolutions C 238/01, C 243/01,C 261/01, C 262/01 and C 187/02, respectively; establishing that such technical resolutions and the modifications incorporated, will be in force for fiscal years initiated as from July 1, 2002 (other than Technical Resolution No. 20, which shall become effective for fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2003).

 

The Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission, through Resolution N° 434/03 has adopted such technical resolutions with some exceptions and modifications, which will be in force for fiscal years initiated as from January 1, 2003. Consequently, the Company has filed the present accounting statements according to Resolutions N° 368/01 and 415/02 as established in Note 2, which do not include such changes and differ from the accounting principles in force at the moment of submitting the accounting statements.

 

The main modifications included by the above mentioned technical resolutions, which would imply significant adjustments on the company’s accounting statements, are related with the registration of the income tax under the deferred taxing method. The main changes basically result from the registration of income tax under the deferred tax method, as concerns agreements involving derivative instruments and the valuation of receivables and payables with no stated rate at their current value.

 

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The principal valuation and disclosure criteria for the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a basis consistent with respect to the last fiscal period, are as follows:

 

a. Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are used when accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

At March 31, 2002, our investment in IRSA was valued by the equity method of accounting as a result of a change of strategy according to which those shares are carried as a long-term investment. This decision was made as a result of the impact of the recent economic measures on the financial markets, which modified the original budget with respect to these types of investments.

 

Current valuations and economic conditions reduce the risks inherent to long-term investment opportunities and increase the possibility of obtaining significant return in the long term. In view of these circumstances: (i) the value of the investment was set at market value; (ii) the value of the investment was calculated by the equity method of accounting; and (iii) the difference between (i) and (ii) was recognized as negative goodwill to be amortized over 20 years, and is shown under Other liabilities.

 

  2.   Other securities

 

  -   Investments in Convertible Bonds

 

       Investments in IRSA’s convertible bonds has been valued at its cost plus accrued interest considering the exchange rate prevailing at the closing of the period.

 

  -   Other investments

 

       The remaining investments correspond to non-listed securities, which were valued at their restated cost.

 

g. Fixed assets

 

  -   Purchase value:

 

       Valued at cost restated into period-end currency applying the coefficients mentioned in Note 2, based on the corresponding dates of origin.

 

  -   Depreciation

 

       Calculated by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as from the period of addition.

 

  -   The carrying value

 

       The carrying value of such fixed assets does not exceed their recoverable values.

 

h. Intangible assets

 

The goodwill corresponding to the purchase of the subsidiary company “Futuros y Opciones.com S.A.” is valued at restated cost, which was calculated as the difference between the amount paid for that investment and its proportional equity value calculated at the time of the purchase, restated into period-end currency applying the coefficients mentioned in Note 2.


 

Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial,

Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 3: (Continued)

Amortization is determined based on the estimated useful life of the goodwill, which is five years.

 

i. Loans with local financial institutions (Note 8.g.)

 

Financial liabilities in US currency, according to our legal counsellors advice, are included within the provisions of Decree 214 of February 3, 2002 and are not subject to the exceptions established by means of Decree 410 dated March 1, 2002, therefore these liabilities have been valuated at a $1 to US$ 1 rate.

 

j. Shareholders’ equity

 

The balances at the beginning of the period and the movements for the period were restated into period-end currency.

 

k. Results for the period

 

The results for the period were adjusted as follows:

 

Income accounts were restated by applying adjusting coefficients to historical amounts.

 

The financial result was calculated at its actual value, net of the effect of inflation, and the result of exposure to inflation of net monetary positions is the counterpart of the adjustments made to all non-monetary balance sheet and income statement accounts, which were restated into period-end currency.

 

Financial results and the result of exposure to inflation were segregated into results generated by assets and those generated by liabilities.

 

l. Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized on sales of products when the customer receives title to the goods, generally upon delivery.

UNAUDITED BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

 

The financial statements as of March 31, 2003 have been prepared recognizing the effects of inflation as of February 28, 2003, i.e., the date on which the application of the method to restate financial statements in constant currency was discontinued according to the provisions of the Comisión Nacional de Valores. The amounts for the period ended March 31, 2002 have been restated in currency as of February 28, 2003 for comparison purposes, using a 1.664 coefficient.

 

The net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2003 amounted to Ps. 44.0 million, compared to a loss of Ps. 49.2 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

The improvement in the Company’s net income is due to the increase in operating income caused by the impact of the devaluation on the agricultural sector, by the result obtained in livestock holdings and the contribution of the income generated by related companies.

 

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003 operating income showed profits for Ps. 22.4 million compared to a Ps. 0.8 million loss shown for the same period of the prior year.

 

The results of investments in related companies generated income for Ps. 50.2 million, mainly due to the result generated by our 24.01% interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones SA. In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2002, this result had been strongly affected by the economic situation, which had a negative impact on the value of our holding of IRSA’s shares

 

Consolidated net sales for the period amounted to Ps. 51.1 million, i.e., 6.9% lower than the sales recorded for the same period of the prior year, mainly due to a decrease in livestock sales.

 

Gross income in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 amounted to Ps. 15.5 million compared to Ps. 17.7 million obtained for the same period of the prior year, which represents a 12.9% decrease. The main factor determining this reduction was the decrease in the gross income obtained in the grains sector. This activity had been extraordinarily favored during the previous season because supplies had been bought at the US$ 1 = Ps. 1 exchange rate and the production had been valued and sold at a considerably higher exchange rate.

Sales accumulated during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 amounted to Ps. 37.9 million compared to Ps. 31.6 million recorded during the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2002 was due to the increase in the volumes sold and in the average price per ton sold.

 

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003, the total amount of grains sold was 88,499 tons, which represents a 5.7% increase compared to the 83,752 tons sold during the first nine months of fiscal 2002.

 

The average price per ton sold amounted to Ps. 428 compared to Ps. 377 recorded during the nine months of the prior fiscal year.

Gross income amounted to Ps. 7.4 million, compared to Ps. 13.2 million profit recorded during the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease is mainly due to the fact that most of the supplies used in the prior campaign were acquired at the US$ 1 = Ps. 1 exchange rate whilst those bought in the current campaign were acquired at a clearly higher exchange rate.

 

In the course of the quarter we have finished harvesting our wheat crops. Total production was 9,397 tons, with an average yield of 26 quintals/hectare. In addition, as of the date of these financial statements we have finished the sunflower harvest, with a production of 2,904 tons and a yield of 15 quintals/hectare.

 

At present, global stocks of grains are low, and there have been announcements on the part of countries such as the US, that they have decided to increase their reserves. This fact, plus the expected increases in consumption in South East Asia as a result of the economic recovery of the region predict favorable prospects for grains prices. In addition, the appreciation of the Euro will contribute to strengthen European demand even more.

 

II. Beef cattle

 

The beef segment showed gross income for Ps. 8.3 million compared to income for Ps. 5.6 million for the same period of the prior year.

 

Sales totaled Ps. 11.4 million compared to Ps. 20.1 million in the same period ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in sales in comparison to the prior year is due to a decrease in the volumes sold: average prices per ton were slightly higher in this period.

 

The total amount of beef sold during the current period was 6,124 tons, a 52.7% decrease compared to the 12,961 tons sold during the first nine months of fiscal 2002. This decrease is partly due to a drop in the production of beef. Production amounted to 7,477 tons during the first nine months of fiscal 2003, i.e., 23.4% lower than production for the same period of the prior year, mainly due to the lower amount of livestock finished in feed lot and to the 2.0% decrease in the cattle herd.

 

The average price of steer in the Liniers market for the month of March was Ps. 2.03 per live kilogram, compared to Ps. 1.59 per live kilogram in June 2002. The increase in prices resulted in income for livestock holdings in the amount of Ps. 12.6 million.

 

Over a year after the most recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease which entailed the closure to Argentine beef of a major part of international markets, some have started to reopen: as of the date of this report 53 new destinations have reopened. However, major importers, such as the US, Mexico and Canada, have not yet lifted their barriers and they are expected to do so in the coming months.

 

This reopening in international markets is highly beneficial for the local market as the price of livestock denominated in US Dollars, even after the increase shown in recent months, is very low compared to our main competitors at the global level. The price of steer is close to US$ 0.65 per live kilogram.

III. Milk

 

The milk segment showed Ps. 0.6 million gross income compared to a loss of Ps. 0.6 million in the first nine months of the prior year.

 

Sales decreased by 10.2% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2002 as a result of a 16.2% drop in the volume sold. This decrease is mainly offset by an increase in the prices per liter in the region of 7.2%. The drop in milk production is due to a decrease in the number of cows in the milking process, caused in turn by the sale of a part of La Adela dairy parlor and a decrease in the individual production per cow induced by a shift towards a more economical feeding system.

 

The average price per liter sold amounted to Ps. 0.363, higher than the price during the first nine months of fiscal 2002, when it had amounted to Ps. 0.339.

 

Other income/expenses

 

Selling expenses amounted to Ps. 2.8 million, Ps. 2.1 million out of which correspond to agriculture and Ps. 0.7 million to livestock. In connection with sales, livestock related selling expenses accounted for 6.1% comparative with 6.6% recorded in the same period of the prior year.

 

Administrative expenses during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 were Ps. 2.8 million, 44.3% lower than those obtained during the same period of the prior year. This decrease is due to the fact that most of the items of this caption, such as payroll and fees did not increase in line with inflation.

 

Financial results

 

During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2003, the financial results amounted to Ps. 17.0 million. This is basically due to the fact that our dollar-denominated assets (US$ 64,3 million) were affected by the appreciation of the peso by 22% generating exchange gains/losses in the amount of Ps. 45.4 million, partially offset against income in the amount of Ps. 30.2 million derived from the exposure of our liabilities denominated in US dollars (US$ 54.8 million).

 

Gain / (loss) from related companies

 

The results of investment in related companies implied income in the amount of Ps. 50.2 million during the nine-month period of fiscal 2003, Ps. 47.5 million out of which correspond to our 24.01% ownership interest in IRSA, the main Argentine company engaged in the real estate business.

 

7,036 hectares increase in our portfolio of farms

 

In line with our strategy of reorganizing our activities, we sold the farms “Los Maizales” covering 618 hectares located in Teodelina, Province of Santa Fe and “San Luis” covering 706 hectares, located in O’Higgings, Province of Buenos Aires.

UNAUDITED BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)

 

“Los Maizales” was part of a group of farms originally owned by the Company, mainly destined to the agricultural activity. The sale was agreed in the amount of US$ 1.9 million, which was paid off upon executing the title deed. This sale generated income in the amount of Ps. 4.3 million, which will be recorded in the last quarter of this year.

 

“San Luis” had been acquired in year 1997 and it was also mainly destined to the agricultural activity. The selling price was agreed at US$ 2.2 million, which was paid off upon executing the title deed. This sale generated income in the amount of Ps. 0.5 million and will be recorded in the last quarter of this year.

 

The crops to be harvested in both farms during season 2002-2003, the reaping of which will be made from May to June, will be owned by Cresud.

 

The sale of these farms generated income in the amount of Ps. 4.8 million.

 

In addition, we continue consolidating our position in the production of grains reinvesting the amounts obtained from the sale of these farms in the purchase of a farm covering 8,360 hectares, located in Trenel, Province of La Pampa. This farm is currently destined to the agricultural and livestock business but it has a 100 % agricultural potential if it is worked under direct sawing, which will allow us to increase profitability and value in the future. The transactions were agreed in the amount of US$ 9.3 million, which has been fully paid off and the title deed has been executed.

 

The average proceeds collected by the two farms sold totaled US$ 3,100 per hectare, whereas for we paid the amount of US$1,100 per hectare for the farm indicated in the preceding paragraph.

 

The three transactions generated an increase of 7,036 hectares in Cresud portfolio through a net investment of US$ 5.2 million.

 

Feed lot Cactus Argentina

 

During this quarter Feed Lot, Cactus Argentina, in which we have a 50% interest, kept on consolidating its growth operating at a 100% of its capacity and generating significant cash flows. In addition, during the last quarter, an agreement was entered into with one of the leading supermarkets for the direct selling of part of Feed Lot production.

 

At present, and as consequence of the excellent results obtained in the first Feed Lot, Cactus is assessing the possibility of developing a second enterprise.

 

Clearance operations

 

For the purpose of maximizing the high profitability of the agricultural-livestock business, during this quarter we started the first stage of new investments consisting in the clearance of 1,000 hectares in our farmland “Los Pozos”, which can be extended to 14,000 hectares and 1,100 hectares in “Agroriego”.

Convertible negotiable obligations (CNO)

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the holders of CNO exercised their conversion right. The total amount of converted negotiable obligations amounted to 184,084 units with a nominal value of US$ 1 each, whereas the ordinary shares issued in this regard amounted to 362,510 with a nominal value of Ps. 1.0 each.

 

Thus, the quantity of outstanding CNO amounted to US$ 49,815,916, whereas the number of Company’s shares varied from 124,284,392 to 124,646,902, which accounts for a 0.3% increase.

 

Prospects for the following quarter

 

Macroeconomic context

 

During this quarter, fundamental political definitions for the future of the country are to take place, where a dull context might undermine the slight economic recovery of the country. Fortunately, elections have been carried out without any difficulties, which allow us to be optimistic.

 

The government agenda of the next President of the Republic of Argentina will have a lot of pending issues. It should include governance agreements to achieve the goals proposed. The measures, among others, should include: an agreement with credit multilateral organizations including tax covenants and public policies to decrease poverty ratios. In addition, a successful rescheduling of the foreign debt and the renegotiation of the contracts with privatized utilities will be critical to manage the country’s fate.

 

Our business operations

 

The agricultural and livestock sector, and particularly the agricultural sector proved to be one of the most prosperous sectors of the new Argentine economy. As a result of the new rules of the game imposed after devaluation, operations are highly profitable, even though the activity is subject to tax withholdings. We are confident that the new President will not dramatically change the rules, so that we can continue consolidating our operations and taking advantage of the new business opportunities.

 

To date, corn and soybean harvests are in progress, and we expect that they be completed by the last quarter of the year. Yields obtained are very good and we hope that this trend be kept with regard to the remaining hectares.

 

Our feed-lot, Cactus Argentina, improves its performance on a daily basis. The average number of heads of fattening cattle and its operating result have kept on growing without any discontinuance since the opening thereof, which allow us to plan the enlargement of the operation.

UNAUDITED BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS (Continued)

 

After the Peso devaluation and the increase in the agricultural and livestock business profitability, there is a growing demand for lands, which caused a considerable increase in prices reaching levels in dollars comparable to those prevailing prior to the Argentine crisis. Within this context, we believe that our experience will allow us to identify better opportunities for both purchase and sale of real estate.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

Free translation from the original prepared in Spanish for the publication in Argentina

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial,

Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

 

1.   We have reviewed of the quarterly balance sheets of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria at March 31, 2003 and 2002, as well as the related Statements of Income, of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and of Cash Flows for the nine-month periods then ended, together with the corresponding Notes 1 through 14 and Schedules A, B, C, E, F, G and H, Summary of Activity and the additional information to the notes of the financial statements required by Section 68 of the Regulations of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys’ management.

 

2.   We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by Technical Resolution No. 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial statements. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

3.   The Company has prepared the financial statements following the valuation criteria established by the Comisión Nacional de Valores, which as explained in Note 2.c differ from certain aspect of prevailing accounting standards in Argentina. The effect on the financial statements arising from the different valuation criteria have not been quantified by the Company and we have not been able, through the performance of other auditing procedures, to estimate the impact on the financial statements of this divergence from professional accounting standards in Argentina.

 

4.   As detailed in Note 1, as a result of the economic crisis in Argentina, the period under consideration was affected by the series of measures adopted to date by the National Government. The future evolution of the economic crisis may require the Government to modify some measures adopted or issue additional regulations. Consequently, the Company’s financial statements must be read in the light of these circumstances.

 

5.   Based on the work done and our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the years ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, on which we issued our qualified report dated September 9, 2002, we report that the financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria at March 31, 2003 and 2002 and the consolidated financial statements at those dates, prepared in accordance with accounting standards of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, consider all significant facts and circumstances of which we have become aware and regarding them we have no other observations to make that those mentioned in paragraph 4.

 

6.   In accordance with current regulations, we report that:

 

a)   The financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria are transcribed in the “Inventory and Balance Sheet” Book and are in accordance with the Commercial Companies Law.

 

b)   The financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria’s financial statements arise from accounting records carried in all formal respects in accordance with legal requirements;


c)   We have read the business overview report and the additional information to the notes to the financial statements required by sect. 68 of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange Regulations, on which, as regards those matters that are within our competence, we have no observations to make.

 

d)   At March 31, 2003, the debt accrued by Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria towards the Integrated Pension and Survivors’ Benefit System according to the accounting records amounted to $57,925.51, (fifty-seven thousand nine hundred and twenty-five pesos and 51/100) wich is not yet due.
