Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three-month periods beginning on July 1, 2006 and 2005

and ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and June 30, 2006

 

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a consequence of the application of the unifying accounting standards aproved by the Comisión Nacional de Valores (C.N.V.), which require that consolidated Financial Statements be presented as established by Technical Resolution No. 21 of the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (F.A.C.P.C.E.), the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the Statements of Income and the Statements of Cash Flows for the three-month 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. Additionally, proportional consolidation has been applied for investments in which it has joint control (see Notes 1.b and 1.c to the basic financial statements).

The Company also applied Technical Resolution No. 21 as concerns the proportional consolidation with Cactus Argentina S.A. on a 50% basis on account of the joint control held, and applied the same percentage for elimination of balances existing between them.

The financial statements of the subsidiary companies Inversiones Ganaderas S.A., Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A., Agropecuaria Cervera S.A. and Cactus Argentina S.A. as of September 30, 2006 and 2005 have been used in order to determine the investment at its equity value, line by line consolidation and proportional consolidation.

For purposes of comparability, certain reclassifications have been made on the information as of June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.

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

NOTE 8: “EXAGRIND S.A. – ESTANCIA SAN RAFAEL AGAINST TALI SUMAJ AND OTHER DAMAGES AND LOSSES” LAWSUIT

Exagrind S.A. has filed a lawsuit against Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. (IGSA) on claims for damages and losses produced by a fire in Estancia San Rafael, which is close to Tali Sumaj, Province of Catamarca. The fire took place on September 6, 2000.

The estimated amount of the legal action is Ps. 2,914,000 at the date the claim was filed.

In turn, IGSA filed an extraordinary appeal with the High Court of the Province of Catamarca, requesting to be given the 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 IGSA is awaiting the decision of the Court of Cassation.

 

NOTE 9: ACQUISITIONS AND SALES OF FARMS

On August 28, 2006, IGSA signed a preliminary sale contract of 1,800 hectares of the establishment called “El Recreo” of its property, in the amount of US$ 0.3 million. As advance payment the Company has received US$ 0.05 million. This sale has not been shown in the Financial Statement as the property of the land has not yet been transferred.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

and the year ended June 30, 2005

 

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Below 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, 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 (F.A.C.P.C.E.), as approved, with resolutions issued by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A.) and the Comisión Nacional de Valores (C.N.V.).

 

  b. Unifying of accounting standards

On July 8, 2006, the F.A.C.P.C.E. and the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A. entered into an agreement with the purpose of unifying technical standards. The latter council issued Resolution CD 93/05 on August 10, 2005 adopting the accounting standards approved by the former including the changes up to April 1, 2005.

The standards referred to above became effective for annual or interim periods financial statements of years commenced on January 1, 2006. On the other hand, the C.N.V. has adopted the same standards including certain modifications, and has also established their applicability for the years started as from January 1, 2006 as well.

The changes introduced due to the unifying of accounting standards that have generated significant effects on the Company´s financial statements are:

    In accordance with the new accounting standards, the Company has decided not to recognize the deferred liabilities generated by the adjustment for inflation on fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. Consequently, additional information on this issue is stated in Note 6.

 

    The balance of the “Transitory Convertion Differences” account has to be shown in the statement of changes in stockholders´ equity as from the time the unifying accounting standards became effective.

The financial statements for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 have not been audited. The Company´s management estimates that such statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the income accounts of each period, which do not necessarily show the proportion of the Company´s profits and losses for the entire periods.

 

  c. The effects of inflation

The financial statements have been prepared in constant currency units by recognizing the effects of inflation up to August 31, 1995. As from this date and up to December 31, 2001 the restatement of the financial statements has been discontinued due to that period of monetary stability. As from January 1, 2002 and up to March 2003 the effects of inflation were recognized as it was an inflationary period. As from such date, in line with Resolution 441 issued on

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   These shares were placed in conjunction with the Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse (Brasil) S.A. in the Brazilian market by applying an investment mechanism ruled by the control authorities and with a sales effort abroad, all in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and other regulations established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The amount initially offered amounted to 432 million Reais, equivalent to 432,000 common registered shares of 1,000 Reais per share of BrasilAgro.

 

   In accordance with the practice of the Brazilian market, BrasilAgro had an option to increase the size of the issue by 20% and Credit Suisse Investment Bank had another option for increasing the issue by 15% (Green shoe). As the placement had demand in excess, both BrasilAgro and Credit Suisse exercised such option up to 583,200 shares equivalent to Reais 583.2 million, which were fully placed.

 

   In addition to the funds originally contributed Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. made contributions during the offer for a total amount of Reais 42.4 million (approximately US$ 20.6 million). In line with such contribution Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. has a total of 42,705 shares equivalent to 7.3% of BrasilAgro capital.

 

   As a contribution for having founded the company, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. received 104,902 purchase options to subscribe additional BrasilAgro shares for 15 years at no cost and at the same price of the original offer of shares that is Reais 1,000 adjusted by the IPCA inflation index. Should such option be exercised, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. will be able to acquire 59,850 additional shares and its holding would then be 14.1% of BrasilAgro diluted capital stock. These options may be exercised as follows: a third part as from the first anniversary of the placement, another third as from the second year and the balance as from the third year.

 

   In addition, Cresud received with no cost a second series of options totaling 104,902, which can only be exercised at the option of Cresud whenever a third party makes an offer to purchase the BrasilAgro shares. The exercise price of these options will be the same price as the purchase offer referred to in the previous paragraph. The second series of options matures in year 2021.

 

   As of September 30, 2006, the Company has not registered any value for the holding of such options.

 

   In order to finance the investment in Brazil, on May 2, 2006, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. obtained a US$ 8 million loan from Credit Suisse, for a 30 months term accruing interest at the three months LIBOR rate plus 375 basic points. This loan had been initially secured by means of a swap operation with Convertible Negotiable Obligations of IRSA in a total amount of US$ 10 million, which were later replaced by 1,834,860 ADRs of IRSA plus an amount in US dollars that fluctuates according to IRSA´s share price. As of September 30, 2006, the amount of US$ 0.3 million had been deposit to such purpose. In addition, to complete its investment, Cresud used short-term loans and own funds (Note 19)

   BrasilAgro has acquired two first properties in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

 

   The country estate called “Sao Pedro” located in Chapadao do Sul (MS) covering 2,443 hectares was purchased for U$S 4.7 million. This country estate is located 1,000 km far from one of the main ports, and it was acquired at a significant lesser price than the average in the region. The area´s potential production is 1,740 hectares and we believe that the land will be highly appreciated due to the sugar cane installations estimated in the region.

 

   The country estate “Cremaq” is located in Bahia Grande do Riberio (Piaui). This property was acquired for U$S 19.7 million and it covers 23,375 hectares, 3,000 of which are already in production and 16,000 hectares have been cleared. The estimated production area will probably cover 23,000 hectares. “Cremaq” is close to the Itaqui port and to the Norte-Sul railway. Both the weather and the landscape are highly attractive for sowing, especially soy, corn and cotton. This land was also acquired at a lesser price than the average of the area and it has a high appreciation potential.

   In accordance with the terms approved at the referred Shareholders’ Meeting, from a legal standpoint the implementation of the Plan is made by means of the transfer of the Shares in trust. From this balance, two thirds of the options relating to the Shares under the Plan were allocated for distribution by the Company’s Board of Directors among certain executive officers. The remaining third was set aside for allotment by the Company’s Board of Directors among any employees or executives at the time of allotment and 6 (six) months after the initial allotment, and up to 3 (three) months before the expiration of the exercise period.

   COMPENSATIONS BY THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TO FINANCIAL ENTITIES AS A RESULT OF THE ASYMMETRIC “PESIFICATION”

 

   The National Government, through Decree 905, provided for the issuance of “National Government Compensating Bonds”, to compensate financial entities for the adverse equity effects generated due to the conversion into pesos, under various exchange ratios, of the credits and obligations denominated in foreign currency as established by Law 25,561, Decree 214 and addenda. Decree 905 also provided for covering the negative difference in the net position of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities resulting from its translation into pesos as established by the above-mentioned regulations, and entitled the Argentine Republic Central Bank to determine the pertinent rules.

 

   After several submissions, Banco Hipotecario S.A. submitted the last presentation as regards sections 28 and 29 of Decree 905 - Compensation to Financial Entities, as follows:

 

    National Government Compensation Bond - US$ 2012 (section 29, points b, c and d): compensating bond – difference between “pesified” assets and liabilities at $ 1.00 for the rate of exchange difference of $ 0.40, translated at $ 1.40 per US$ dollar: US$ 360,811.

   EXPOSURE TO THE NON-FINANCIAL PUBLIC SECTOR

 

   Banco Hipotecario S.A. keeps recorded in its financial statements assets with the Non-Financial Public Sector amounting to $ 3,515,250. On the other hand, liabilities to the Argentine Central Bank recorded as of September 30, 2006 amount to $ 166,931 being the credit balance related to advances to subscribe BODEN 2012 in line with sections 28 and 29 of Decree 905/02.

 

   The net exposure with the Public Sector, without considering liquid assets in accounts authorized by the Argentine Central Bank, amount to $ 3,348,319 and $ 2,584,169 as of September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

 

   Banco Hipotecario S.A. intends to allocate assets portfolio of the Public Sector as guarantee for the application of the advancement to finance the coverage bonds subscription, as provided for in section 29 of Decree 905/02.

 

   As from January 1, 2006, the dispositions of point 12 of Communication “A” 3911 (Communication “A” 4455) became effective, as regards that the assistance to the Public Sector (average measured) cannot exceed 40% of total Assets of the last day of the previous month. Through Communication “A” 4546 of July 9, 2006, it was established that as from July 1, 2007, such limit was modified to 35%.

 

   The exposure of Banco Hipotecario S.A. to the Public Sector originated in compensations granted by the National Government as a result of year 2002 crisis, principally related to the asymmetric “pesification” of assets and liabilities.

 

   To such extent and considering that assets to the Public Sector exceed the mentioned limit (representing 39% and 49%, approximately, of Assets as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively), as of January 19, 2006, Banco Hipotecario S.A. reported to the Argentine Central Bank that it will gradually decrease the proportion of assets subject to the exposure to the Public Sector, in line with the amortization and cancellation made by the Government of the bonds received for asymmetric compensation in the currency of issuance. To date, no objections to this issue have been received.

 

NOTE 17: FINANCIAL LOANS

 

   In line with the outstanding investment opportunities that became definite during the last year, such as our participation in BrasilAgro, and the acquisition of land and the develop investments in Norwest zone during the current year. The company contracted debt in higher levels than those incurred in previous years. As of September 30, 2006 our debt, without considering our convertible negotiable obligations, amounts to Ps. 100.8 million.

 

   On analyzing the breakdown of such debt, we note the Credit Suisse loan to finance our investment in BrasilAgro for Ps. 23.9 million (Note 12) and Ps. 13.3 million to finance our crop production, the remaining balance, Ps. 63.6 million, are concentrated in the short-term.

 

   Our aim for next year will be to adjust these maturities so as to generate cash in the Company, without putting aside a reduction of debt in line with future cash income arising from the regular business trend, the sale of assets or due to exercising options adhered to our convertible negotiable obligations.

NOTE 18: IGSA’S TAX DEFERRAL

 

   On December 19, 1996, under Decree 1968/96 the province of Catamarca approved the investment project submitted by Inversiones Ganaderas S.A., and conferred to it the benefits of Law 22,021 as amended by Law No. 22,702 subject to the conditions and scope detailed in the referred Decree.

 

   The project is oriented towards the livestock business, and requires a total minimum investment of Ps. 1,600,002 to be made over a three year term. The investor is given the choice of deferring the payment of the amounts payable as income tax and value added tax. The amount of the deferred tax will be equal to 75% the direct capital contribution, i.e Ps. 1,200,000. Deferred amounts do not accrue interest and are repayable in five consecutive annual payments as from the sixth fiscal year following the start-up date of the project that enjoys the benefit.

 

   On October 15, 2002, Cresud S.A. deferred the balance assessed in the value added tax return for fiscal period 9/2002 for the sum of Ps. 540,000.

 

   On December 30, 2003, given the significant benefit granted under Decree 384/2003 to those taxpayers who early repay deferred tax liabilities, Cresud S.A. repaid the deferred amount, for the sum of Ps. 249,317. To date it has still not made use of the remaining sums available under the project.

Business Highlight (Continued)

Buenos Aires, November 10, 2006 - Cresud S.A.C.I.F.y A. (Nasdaq: CRESY - BASE: CRES), one of the leading agricultural companies in Argentina, announces today the results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 ended September 30, 2006.

Results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 showed a net profit of Ps.1.9 million compared to a Ps. 11.0 million profit posted the same period of the previous fiscal year. The decrease in net results is mainly due to the results generated through the sale of farms, amounting to Ps. 9.9 million during the same period of fiscal year 2006.

Consolidated net sales for the period amounted to Ps. 23.4 million, 7% lower than those posted for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Noteworthy in this respect is the increase in Feed Lot sales, in excess of 100% when compared to the first quarter of 2006.

Gross profit during the first quarter of FY 2007 amounted to Ps. 0.3 million as compared to the Ps. 4.5 million gross profit posted during the same period of the previous year.

This decrease in gross profit is partly due to the decrease in the volume of crops sold, as most of the inventories were sold at the close of fiscal year 2006.

Operating results showed for the quarter ended on September 30, 2006 a Ps. 2.8 million loss mainly due to the drought sustained in winter, which had an adverse impact on milk production and on the beef cattle business. In September the situation started to normalize with the arrival of rains.

Results from related companies showed a Ps. 6.8 million profit mainly due to our equity interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. as of September 30, 2006.

Summary of operations

Crops

Crops sales for the quarter totaled Ps. 8.4 million, compared to sales for Ps. 10.8 million in the previous fiscal year. The volume of crops sold was 20,229 tons at an average price per ton of Ps. 391 compared to the 39,622 tons sold and the average price of Ps. 272 in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The decrease in the tons sold is mainly due to the fact that a major part of production was sold during the last weeks of June 2006, which resulted in a reduction in the stock available for the current period.

Our crop stock at the close of the quarter amounted to 9,756 tons, of which 4,179 tons were soybean, 3,121 were corn and 2,264 were wheat.

Gross profit in the segment for the period ended September 30, 2006 was Ps. 0.7 million, compared to the Ps. 1.5 million profit for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

For the current season we have assigned 48,015 hectares to agriculture, 25,307 hectares of which are leased from third parties. Compared to the previous fiscal year, we have increased the number of total hectares assigned to agriculture by 11,328.

Beef Cattle

As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s cattle stock was 86,614 head, i.e., a figure quite similar to that posted for the same period of the previous year, with a total of 119,361 hectares assigned to beef cattle activities.

Livestock sales amounted to Ps. 10.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, when a total of 4,578 tons were sold, whilst, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 the tons sold had amounted to 4,800. The 4% price increase sustained by beef cattle stock, when compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, allows this business unit to maintain its level of revenues, in spite of the decrease in the tons sold. This variation was due to a decrease in cattle stock basically due to the effect of the drought that affected the supply of grazing fields which had an adverse impact particularly on the cattle stock in breeding fields.

Therefore, the result for this segment was a Ps. 0.67 million loss and beef cattle production amounted to 1,754 tons, i.e., a 30% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year.

Prospects for the Argentine market are good. In September the Government increased exports of beef cattle cuts to 50% and the strengthening of Argentina’s standing as a country free of foot and mouth disease due to vaccination translated into a re-opening of almost all foreign markets. Additionally, global demand continued to grow, especially in the European Union, Asia and Russia, which would represent a major driver for the price of beef cattle.

We estimate that in the absence of further restrictions by the Government, the price of steer per kilogram should recover the value export it had prior to the restrictions imposed in 2005 (US$ 0.85). In this respect, the price of the kilogram of live steer in Argentina could result in a figure close to the price of the kilogram of live steer in Uruguay, where the export value is currently 31% higher than the price for the local market.

Milk

Milk production increased by 11% in the quarter, from 3.5 million liters as of September 30, 2005 to 3.9 million as of September 30, 2006.

Although the price decreased by 6%, the production of milk increased by a higher proportion and therefore sales totaled Ps. 2 million, slightly higher than the production obtained in 2005 for the same period.

Gross profit as of September 30, 2006 amounted to a Ps. 0.15 million loss. This loss is mainly due to the increases in costs at the “El Tigre” farm, which was adversely affected by the drought sustained in winter. As a result and with a view to obtaining significant milk production in the spring, higher costs were incurred in order to supplement feeding. The situation is normalizing with the first rains of September and the production of milk starts to show a significant increase.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 we had 5,074 head of cattle in 1,505 hectares assigned to milk production. For the current period, these figures have increased to 6,606 in 2,376 hectares.

At present, the Company’s dairy farms are located in “La Juanita”, where the feeding system is based solely on pastures (with lower costs) and in “El Tigre”, a dairy farm equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

Feed Lot

In the quarter ended on September 30, 2006, the 170-ha Feed Lot located in the Province of San Luis, in which the Company holds a 50% equity interest through Cactus Argentina S.A., continued to play a major role in our Company’s cattle beef production thereby helping to strengthen its growth.

During the quarter, gross profit for Cactus Argentina S.A. was Ps. 0.7 million, thereby maintaining the same levels reached in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. In addition, net result for the quarter was a Ps. 0.1 million profit.

The Company has built a reputation in the market for consistency in the end product obtained from Feed Lot finished animals: purchasers obtain a high quality product and sales prices are thus better.

Prospects for the coming periods are very promising as purchase values are appealing and policies applied to beef cattle are expected to be more favorable to the industry. However, it is to be noted that an increase is expected in production costs as a result of the continuous rise in the price of corn.

Purchase and sale of farms

In September 2005, we signed the deed for the acquisition of a 6,022-hectare farm, “San Pedro”, located in the Department of Concepción del Uruguay, Province of Entre Ríos. The purchase price was agreed at US$ 16 million, paid as follows: US$ 9.5 million upon execution of the deed, US$ 4.0 million on December 14, 2005, and US$ 1.05 paid on September 1, 2006. The amount outstanding is US$ 1.4 million and it shall be paid in September 2007.

Inversiones ganaderas S.A. (“IGSA”), a Cresud subsidiary, executed on August 28, 2006 a preliminary purchase and sale agreement over 1,800 hectares at the “El Recreo” farm owned by IGSA, for US$ 0.3 million.-. Over that price the Company has collected US$ 0.05 million.- as a down payment. This sale has not been reflected yet in the Financial statements as possession over the lot acquired has not yet taken place.

Development of marginal lands

We consider the potential offered by the sector to lie on the development of marginal under-used areas as has been the case in various countries worldwide. With current state-of-the-art technology, similar yields can be obtained with larger profits than those registered in nucleus areas.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, development activities continued at our “Los Pozos” farm located in the Province of Salta: 25,000 hectares prepared for agricultural and/or cattle beef production activities. Additionally, 13,500 hectares at Cervera Agropecuaria have been developed for production: over 3,000 hectares will be ready for sowing this year.

As of September 30, 2006 Cresud owned 250,722 hectares as land reserves, acquired at very attractive prices. We are convinced that with the development of such areas and the aid of technological breakthroughs, the value of land will show an upward trend which will result in significant revenues for the company.

Investments in other companies

Expansion to Brazil

The public offering of BrasilAgro’s shares was launched on May 2, 2006 at the Novo Mercado of the Brazilian Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) under the AGRO3 ticker symbol and in compliance with the highest Corporate Governance standards currently in force in Brazil. Shares were paid in and subscribed for a total of Reais 42.4 million (approximately US$ 20.6 million). As from the moment the pertaining amounts were paid in, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. holds a total of 42,705 shares equivalent to 7.3% of BrasilAgro’s capital stock. As compensation for having founded the Company, Cresud received 104,902 purchase options to subscribe additional BrasilAgro shares for 15 years at no cost and at the same price as that bid in the initial public offering, i.e., Reais 1,000 adjusted by the IPCA inflation index. Should it decide to exercise such option, Cresud might acquire 59,850 additional shares, thereby becoming the holder of 14.1% of BrasilAgro’s diluted capital stock. One third of this option may be exercised as from the second year and the balance as from the third year.

In addition, Cresud received at no cost a second series of options for a total of 104,902, which may be exercised at Cresud’s option only if a third party makes a tender offer in respect of BrasilAgro’s shares. The exercise price of these options will be equal to the one specified in the tender offer mentioned above. The second series of options matures in 2021.

BrasilAgro acquired its first 2 properties during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The “Sao Pedro” farm, located at Chapadao do Sul (MS), with a surface area of 2,443 hectares was acquired for Reais 9.5 million (approximately US$ 4.7 million). The farm is located 1,000 km from one of the main harbors and it was acquired for a price significantly lower than the average in the region. The potential area for production is 1,773 hectares: production there will start with cotton and crops and will subsequently migrate to sugar cane.

The “Cremaq” farm is located in Bahía Grande do Ribeiro (Piaui). The property was acquired for Reais 42.1 million (approximately US$ 19.7 million) and its surface area is 32,375 hectares, 3,000 of which are already in production, 16,000 hectares are under development and the total production surface area is estimated to reach 23,000 hectares. The farm is quite close to the Itaqui harbor and to the Norte-Sul railway. The weather and topography are highly attractive if we consider crops particularly of soybean, corn and cotton. Additionally, the property was acquired for an amount lower than average for the region and it has huge potential for appreciation.

BrasilAgro will continue to focus on Real Estate for farming purposes and the development of its main four business lines: sugar cane; crops and cotton; forestry and beef cattle.

Results from IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.

The net income derived from our equity interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones (NYSE: IRS – BASE: IRSA) for the quarter ended on September 30, 2006 totaled a Ps. 15.6 million profit compared to a Ps. 18.6 million profit recorded for the same period in fiscal year 2006. This result is mainly due to the following:

Operating income grew by 54.5%, from Ps. 33.4 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 to Ps. 51.7 million, for the same period of fiscal year 2007, mainly driven by an improved performance in income, which grew by 60.1% totaling Ps. 169.6 million compared to the amount of Ps. 106.0 million recorded in fiscal year 2006. The share of each segment in the net sales was as follows: sales and development, Ps. 29.7 million; offices and other property for lease, Ps. 9.5 million; shopping centers, Ps. 101.1 million; hotels Ps. 28.6 million and financial operations and others, 0.7 million.

Results from related companies (income) decreased from Ps. 19.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 to Ps. 1.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2007, mainly due to a decrease in the result from our interest in Banco Hipotecario. In addition, income tax increased, from Ps. 13.3 million in the quarter ended on September 30, 2005 to Ps. 18.9 million in the quarter ended on September 30, 2006.

IRSA is Argentina’s leading real estate company, with a totally diversified portfolio of properties. IRSA’s market share spans over the following business segments:

 

  Office rental and other properties with more than 193,075 m2 of premium offices for lease.

Financial Indebtedness

As a result of the excellent investment opportunities seized in the course of the previous fiscal year, such as our ownership interest in BrasilAgro, the acquisition of farms and the increasing amount of our investments in NW Argentina during the current fiscal year, we have assumed indebtedness for levels higher than those incurred in previous fiscal years, totaling as of September 30, 2006 indebtedness in the amount of Ps. 100.8 million, exclusive of our convertible notes.

An analysis of the structure of such indebtedness shows a loan granted by Credit Suisse for the purpose of financing our investment in BrasilAgro for Ps. 23.9 million and Ps. 13.3 million for the purpose of financing our crop production, the remaining balance, i.e. Ps. 63.6 million is concentrated in the short term.

For the coming fiscal year we intend to adjust these maturities to the Company’s cash flows and do not rule out a reduction in the indebtedness as a result of future cash inflows arising from our habitual businesses, the sale of assets or the exercise of options embedded in our convertible notes.

The exchange rate considered for US$-denominated loans was 1US$= Ps. 3.104, corresponding to the selling exchange rate published by Banco de la Nación Argentina prevailing as of September 30, 2006.

Prospects for the coming quarter

International and Argentine economic conditions continue to lead the agricultural sector and our Company towards a position favorable to taking advantage of arising opportunities. On top of the growing global demand for agricultural products to be used as food there is a demand for cereals, oilseed and sugar to produce biofuels.

In this sense, we will continue with our strategy consisting in supplementing agricultural activities in our own farms with agricultural activities in leased farms, as long as the return on the investments for such activities amounts to the minimum levels required for the business, thereby seeking to atomize production risks and dilute overhead.

Conditions in the crops segment are highly promising. Prices have been steadily increasing since September and high prices are expected to continue to be stable or either increase further. Prospects are very good in relation to corn, mainly as a result of the increase in the demand for corn in the US (increased demand for domestic consumption and for energy production). The stock/consumption ratio reflects the decreased historical value at a global level and gives rise to an upward trend in prices at the global level. In the past two moths corn has increased by 40% driving the rest of the crops market. In addition, the increasing demand for soybean and unprecedented prices of wheat over the last 10 years, on top of the decreased production of wheat in Australia and Eastern Europe allow us to estimate that markets will continue to show upward trends.

As regards the beef cattle segment, there has been a stepwise re-opening in exports, which we expect to intensify in the coming year. We consider that as a result of the restrictions imposed by the Government in the past the market has already reflected all the reductions in prices and that given a context of growing demand for cattle beef and control over animal health in Argentina, the prospects for the sector continue to be good and we will therefore focus on continuing to increase our production levels.

As regards commercial efforts, we are entering into agreements with slaughterhouses engaged in exporting activities to slaughter our own herds and export on behalf of third parties. For this purpose we have obtained a butcher’s license.

At the local level, we shall continue with the development of our Los Pozos farm adding more space for agricultural and cattle beef production starting with the development of the third module. In turn, we shall continue to develop new hectares applied to agricultural production in the concession over the Agropecuaria Cervera farm.

We will continue to make efforts to develop a business line oriented to the supply of services to the agricultural sector which will comprise the production of specialties, and seeds for the main seed producers and exporting companies.

Additionally, we shall start with the development of a new dairy farm at La Juanita, in the Province of Buenos Aires, which will have milking capacity for 1,200 cows per day and we are planning to open it in March 2007.

We are developing a system migration consisting in the integration of different interfaces and existing processes in the different areas of our company. As a result of these improvements, the organization will be more flexible, efficient and agile to respond to the requirements of the business and the organization as a whole will be more competitive. Consequently, this integration strategy will allow the organization to automate, standardize and formalize processes.

In the future, we will continue to keep a watchout for opportunities arising in the market, selling properties with mature businesses resulting in good yields for the Company and acquiring farms mainly located in marginal areas with a high productive potential.

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.

  b) The comparative information included in the basic and consolidated balance sheets and the suplementary notes and schedules to the attached financial statements arise from Company financial statements at June 30, 2006.

 

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

 

  a) the financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its consolidated financial statements have been transcribed to the “Inventory and Balance Sheet Book” and comply, within the field of our competence, with the Corporations Law and pertinent resolutions of the National Securities Commission;
