Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

  a) Basis of consolidation

Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud” or “the Company”) consolidated on a line by line basis the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Statements of Income and the Statements of Cash Flows for the periods ended as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 Argentina S.A. (Cactus) and IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“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 December 23, 2010, Cresud made a capital contribution to Cactus in the amount of Ps. 16 million, including additional paid in capital. As a result of such capital contribution, our shareholding interest increased to 80% as of December 31, 2010.

As from December 31, 2010 Cresud consolidates its financial statements with those of Cactus, pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standard Technical Resolution N° 21. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 do not include consolidated information with Cactus.

The consolidated income statement as of March 31, 2011 includes income made by Cactus between January 1 and March 31, 2011.

On September 13, 2010, Alto Palermo S.A. (“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 APSA held control over it. Therefore, the compatibility of consolidated financial statements is affected.

NOTE 3: (continued)

 

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)

 

Investments on equiry investees and other non-current investments

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.

The equity interest in Rigby 183 LLC, New Lipstick LLC and the acquisition of the additional ownership interest in APSA 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.

NOTE 3: (continued)

 

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 and/or trade commence.

The obtained values, 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 “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.

NOTE 3: (continued)

 

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.

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.

NOTE 3: (continued)

 

  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. When it comes to its mortgage-secured receivables, the Company applies the collateral’s realization value upon analyzing the recoverability of receivables with hints of uncollectibility.

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.

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.

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

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.

The Company 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. The Company does not recognize results until construction activities have begun. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Company’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.

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

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.

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

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 99.999%, 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.

 

  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.

NOTE 6: (Continued)

 

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.

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.

NOTE 6: (Continued)

 

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, 2010 the case was elevetad to the Court of Appeals. On November 29, 2010 the proceedings were brought to a settlement stage between the parties. On February 3, 2011 the Court of Appeals granted the appeal filed by LLR as regards the restatement of interest in the amount of US$ 659. As a result, the judgment rendered by the trial court was reversed and LLR’s debt was considered paid off as regards the settlement amount approved in the proceedings, with court costs being awarded to the plaintiff. Furthermore, the appeal remedy regarding fees awarded to the auctioneer, which were reduced from Ps. 1.8 million to Ps. 1.1 million.

Since LLR had a credit balance as regards the deposit made pursuant to settlement approved in the proceedings, on February 18, 2011 LLR filed a remedy for relief whereby it requested that the Court of Appeal issue a decision on the amount deposited in excess and order the eventual repayment to the defendant.

The case was remanded to the Court of Appeals on February 22, 2011 and is awaiting a decision.

Based on the information provided by the legal advisors litigating these proceedings, LLR has booked under “Other current liabilities – Payables to National Parks Administration”, the fees that refer in the previous paragraph.

  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.

 

  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 six months plus 7.0%, being the last of US$ 5.07 due in March 2010.

  b. Acquisition of shares in 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 and March 2011, IRSA through its subsidiaries sold 1,500,000 and 738,800 common shares, respectively, in Hersha for a total of US$ 14.3 million, which resulted in approximately US$ 10.1 million gain.

As of March 31, 2011 IRSA´s direct and indirect interest in Hersha represents 9.39%. 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 12.34%. IRSA accounts for its investment in Hersha at cost while the call option has been accounted for at its fair value.

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 78 hotels throughout the United States of America totaling approximately 10,443 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 bp 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, Sachs & Co., which had amounted to US$ 45.0 million (excluding accrued interest), was cancelled through a US$ 2.25 million payment.

Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold LLC (“Metropolitan Leasehold”) 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 Leasehold 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 ownership 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 in Metropolitan, 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 in Banco Hipotecario S.A.

During the last fiscal years and in the current fiscal year, IRSA has been conducting different purchase and sale transactions of BHSA shares, as a result of which, as of March 31, 2011, IRSA´s ownership interest in BHSA is 29.77% of BHSA´s capital stock (without considering treasury shares).

 

  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.

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 anannual 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 of all the shares in 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.

NOTE 8: (Continued)

 

In the framework of the purchase agreement 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 the transaction.

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. (Cyrela) for a price of US$ 1.3 million.

In December 2009, Vista al Muelle acquired other properties totaling US$ 2.7 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).

In February 2010, it acquired additional real estate for a total of US$ 1.0 million in exchange for a down payment of US$ 0.15 million with the balance to be paid in 3 consecutive and equal installments maturing on December 31, 2011, June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2014 and accruing an annual 3% interest rate on the outstanding balance, payable quarterly and on arrears as from December 31, 2009.

On December 17, 2010, IRSA and Cyrela signed a stock purchase agreement whereby a 50% interest in Liveck’s capital stock was reacquired from Cyrela for US$ 2.7 million. 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.

The acceptance of the bid grants IRSA the right to exercise the purchase option mentioned above until August 31, 2010, which term may be extended until November 30, 2010 subject to compliance with certain conditions.

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 nine-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 nine-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 September 30, 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 March 31, 2010, and the results for the period ended March 31, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010 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 March 31, 2011 are not comparable with those issued as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

 

  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.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

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.

 

   

Negative goodwill

The negative goodwill represents the excess market value of net assets from those subsidiaries acquired at the equity percentage above the acquisition cost. Negative goodwill has been restated following the guidelines mentioned in Note 1.b. to the financial statements and amortization has been calculated by the straight-line method based on estimated useful life, considering the weighted-average of the reaming useful life of identifiable assets acquired subject to depreciation, or in an accelerated way the proporcional parts corresponds to the negative goodwill, when the subsidiaries required disposed theirs issues.

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).

 

  k. Other investments

 

   

Investments in debt securities

IRSA and APSA’s non-convertible notes 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.

 

  l. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment were valued at its acquisition cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.b., less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciations have been calculated by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of each asset, applying annual rates sufficient to extinguish their values at the end of its useful life.

The value of these assets does not exceed its economic use value as of period/fiscal year-end.

 

  m. Intangible assets

Pre-operating expenses resulted from developing new activities in Bolivia and Paraguay. Such expenses were valued at acquisition cost less the respective accumulated amortization, as disclosed in Schedule B.

Amortizations were calculated through the straight-line method on the basis of an estimated useful life of five years.

Amortizations were classified in “Gain on equity investees” in the statement of income.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

  u. Minimum presumed income tax

The Company determines the minimum presumed income tax applying the prevailing rate of 1% on computable assets at period-end. This tax is supplementary to the income tax. The Company’s tax liability for each period/year will be the higher of these two taxes.

However, if the minimum presumed income tax exceeds the income tax in any fiscal year, such excess may be computed as payment on account of the income tax that may be payable in any of the following 10 (ten) fiscal years.

The Company has recognized the minimum presumed income tax accrued in the period and paid in previous years as a credit, because it considers that it may be computed as payment on account of income tax in future periods.

NOTE 17 EXAGRIND S.A. LAWSUIT – SAN RAFAEL AGAINST TALI SUMAJ AND OTHER DAMAGES AND LOSSES

 

Because of the merge with IGSA, Note 14.1, the Company has been demanded by Exagrind S.A. on claims for damages and losses produced by a fire in “Estancia San Rafael”, which is close to Tali Sumaj farm, Province of Catamarca. The fire took place on September 6, 2000.

The estimated amount of the legal action is Ps. 2,915 at the date the claim was filed.

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 18 COUNTING AT ESTANCIA LOS POZOS

During the annual cattle count held at Estancia Los Pozos, with the occasion of end of fiscal year 2010, it was detected that the number of head of cattle had decreased. As the Company had filed a report with Unidad Regional No. 5, in Joaquín V. González, Province of Salta, involving procedures by the Criminal Court No. 1, Metán, Province of Salta seeking to find out the reason for such decrease.

In this sense, the Company is currently providing the information and documentation requested by the judge hearing such case. Although such procedure is at the initial stage, the effects of the previously mentioned difference were recognized in the previous fiscal year.

NOTE 19 BUYBACK OF TREASURY STOCK

 

On August 26, 2008, the Company’s board of directors decided to acquire treasury stock under section 68, Law No. 17,811 and CNV regulations for a maximum amount of Ps. 30,000 and 10,000,000 shares of common book-entry shares of face value of Ps. 1 per share and entitled to 1 vote. Later, both the maximum amount and the number of shares were increased to Ps. 82,000 and 30,000,000, respectively

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.

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. As a result of this assigment, the Company keeps 754 treasury shares that have not been allocated that are added to the 5,000,000 treasury shares already held by the Company.

On October 29, 2010, the Regular and Special Shareholders’ Meeting decided, by majority of votes, to postpone the decision on the treatment to be afforded to treasury shares until the following Shareholders’ Meeting corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

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.

In case of resignation or dismissal without justifiable cause, the participant will be entitle to collect the amounts from the contributions made by Company only if the beneficiary has been in the program for at least five years, subject to certain conditions.

During the current period, the Company has made contributions to the Program for an amount of Ps. 2,234.

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, the Company is 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 significant departure from the proposed goals and terms.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

 

Buenos Aires, May 12, 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 nine months of fiscal year 2011 ended March 31, 2011.

Consolidated agribusiness sales for the period amounted to Ps. 310.0 million, 94.4% higher than those posted for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year. This increase was caused mainly by a 63% rise in the sales of crops and a 108.3% increase in the sales of beef cattle compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Agribusiness production revenues amounted to Ps. 156.4 million in the period ended March 31, 2011, 94.7% higher than those recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The increase is explained mainly by a 105.1% rise in crop production and a 128.8% increase in the beef cattle segment.

Consolidated sales in the real estate business were Ps. 1,013.5 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2011. This represents a 5.1% improvement from the Ps. 964.1 million in sales for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Gross profit during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 amounted to Ps. 721.4 million compared to Ps. 621.5 million during the same period of the previous year, driven by the increase in the gross profit from the agribusiness segment.

Operating results for the period showed a Ps. 512.6 million profit, composed of operating income of Ps. 411.7 million in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“IRSA”)’s segments for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 and an Ps. 109.8 million profit from Cresud’s agribusiness activities for the same period. This represents an improvement of Ps. 96.0 million as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, explained mainly by an increase of Ps. 77.2 million in agribusiness operating results as a consequence of the sale of the “La Juanita” farm, previously reported, and higher prices and margins in the beef cattle segment.

Net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 amounted to Ps. 141.8 million, compared to an Ps. 184.7 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

 

   

According to the USDA, Argentine soybean production for this season is expected to reach 49 million tons. Corn production is estimated at 22 million tons, whereas wheat would reach 15 million. In terms of planted surface area, the area planted with soybean is expected to remain steady at 18.6 million hectares during the 2011/12 season.

 

   

We have 58,301 hectares in operation in our own farms, 52,205 hectares in leased farms and 10,401 hectares in farms under concession, totaling approximately 120,907 hectares.

 

   

During this season we planted approximately 8,000 hectares of wheat, 43,000 hectares of soybean and 34,000 hectares of corn in Argentina. In Bolivia, thanks to double harvesting we were able to plant during the summer season, reaching approximately 15,500 hectares of soybean and 4,000 hectares of corn.

 

   

As of May 12, 2011, the date of this earnings release, harvesting activities are at an advanced stage. We have harvested 71% of the hectares planted with soybean, 34% of the hectares planted with corn and 100% of the hectares planted with wheat and sunflower with plentiful yields; therefore, a large portion of the crop production results will be recorded during the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.

 

   

If we consider the exploited hectares operated by BrasilAgro and AgroUranga S.A., the aggregate planted surface area would stand at approximately 187 thousand hectares, an increase of more than 20% compared to the hectares in operation in the previous season.

 

   

Production revenues rose 105.1%, from Ps. 49.3 million to Ps. 101.1 million. This increase reflects a 68.0% increase in production amounts and to a 22.0% extent, higher prices, reaching an average price per ton of Ps. 745.0. In this way, we achieved a production result of Ps. 23.8 million.

 

   

Sales revenues rose 63.0% as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 83.6 million to Ps. 136.2 million. This increase is explained by a 31.1% improvement in sales volumes and to an 24.3% extent, by higher prices, achieving an average sales price of Ps. 839 per ton. Therefore, income from sales tripled as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 6.2 million to Ps. 19.2 million.

 

   

Gross profit for the period increased significantly, from Ps. 6.1 million to Ps. 43.1 million.

Beef Cattle

 

   

During this nine-month period live steer prices increased by 50% in Argentina. This improvement in prices has resulted in a reduction in heifer slaughtering rates, which experienced a year-on-year decrease of 15% in February5.

 

   

As of March 31, 2011 we had 102,245 hectares allocated to beef cattle production.

 

   

Sales revenues doubled as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 21.1 million to Ps. 44.0 million. This increase is explained by a 12.1% improvement in amounts sold and to an 85.8% extent, by higher prices, achieving an average sale price of Ps. 7.10 per kg.

 

   

Production revenues increased by 128.8% as compared to the same period of the previous year, from Ps. 13.5 million to Ps. 30.8 million. This increase is explained by a 20.1% improvement in amounts produced and to a 90.6% extent, by higher prices.

 

   

Gross profit improved from an Ps. 0.7 million loss in the first nine months of the previous fiscal year to an Ps. 13.4 million profit in this period, explained by an improvement in production margins.

 

   

Apart from the improvement in operating margins shown by this segment, strong holding results have been posted again, thanks to the appreciation of the stock experienced as a consequence of higher beef cattle prices.

Milk

 

   

Prices showed a year-on-year increase of 39%6.

 

   

Gross profit in the milk segment amounted to an income of Ps. 6.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2011, compared to an income of Ps. 3.4 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This improvement is explained by higher production revenues, as the 2.0% fall in the liters of milk produced was more than offset by a rise of approximately 42.8% in average milk prices during the period as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year.

 

   

The drop in milk production is explained by the sale of the “La Juanita” farm; however, we have optimized our herds, concentrating milk production in the “El Tigre” dairy facility.

Purchase and Sale of Farms

On March 2, 2011, the Company executed a title deed whereby it purchased a 40% interest in a rural property located in the District of Perdriel, Department of Luján de Cuyo, Province of Mendoza, with an area of approximately 943 hectares.

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

International Expansion

BrasilAgro

BrasilAgro has ended its summer planting for the 2010/2011 crop season with 58,575 hectares planted, as per the following breakdown: 39,201 hectares of soybean, 6,430 of corn, rice and cotton, 4,405 of pastures and 8,539 hectares of sugar cane.

During this nine-month period, BrasilAgro increased its net sales of crops by 18.7% as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, from BRL 18.7 million to BRL 22.2 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 BRL 21.4 million.

On January 3, 2011, BrasilAgro filed a prospectus with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) for the primary public offering of common shares. The capital increase related to such offering must be dealt with and approved by the CVM and the Board of Directors of BrasilAgro.

Execution of Addendum to Stock Purchase Agreement with Tarpon

In October 2010, Cresud directly and indirectly purchased 9,581,750 common shares of BrasilAgro - Companhia Brasileira Propiedades Agrícolas (“BrasilAgro”). As consideration, Cresud paid BRL 76.1 million between October and December, and the price balance, of BRL 52.6 million, was paid on April 27, 2011. 64,000 first issue warrants and 64,000 second issue warrants were also purchased. Therefore, at present Cresud holds a 35.75% interest in BrasilAgro.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

As of March 31, 2011, our equity interest in IRSA was 57.5%.

IRSA is one of Argentina’s leading real estate companies in terms of total assets. IRSA is engaged, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries and joint ventures, in a range of diversified real estate related activities in Argentina, including:

Financial Debt from the Agribusiness Segment

Cresud

As of March 31, 2011 Cresud had borrowed a total of USD 206.7 million equivalent, without consolidating IRSA. The following table contains a breakdown of Cresud’s indebtedness.

 

7 

EBITDA represents operating income plus depreciation and amortization (included in operating income). Our presentation of EBITDA does not reflect the methodology suggested by its acronym. We believe EBITDA provides investors with meaningful information with respect to our operating performance and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results. However, our EBITDA measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to net income or as an indicator of our operating performance or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under Argentine GAAP. Some of these limitations include:

 

   

it does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

   

it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

   

it does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements to service the interest or principal payments of our debt;

 

   

it does not reflect any cash income taxes or employees’ profit sharing we may be required to pay;

 

   

it reflects the effect of non-recurring expenses, as well as investing gains and losses;

 

   

it is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in restatements of changes in financial position; and

 

   

other companies in our industry could calculate this measure differently than we do, which may limit its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, our EBITDA measure should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. EBITDA is not a recognized financial measure under Argentine GAAP. You should compensate for these limitations by relying principally on our Argentine GAAP results and using our EBITDA measurement supplementally.

On March 3, three new series of notes were issued under Cresud’s USD 15,000,000 Global Note Program, for an amount equivalent to Ps. 255,726,138.

Interest Rate Swap

During March 2011, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of changes in the interest rate agreed for the Series V Notes issued by Cresud. The average fixed rate payable is 14.117%.

Payment of Cash Dividends

On March 11, 2011, the Company’s board of directors approved the reallocation as interim dividends for the current fiscal year, of the item that had given rise to the dividend resolved upon by the shareholders’ meeting dated December 9, 2010. Such dividends were paid on January 7, 2011. The reallocation was ratified by the shareholders’ meeting dated April 12, 2011.

Prospects for next quarter

At global level, crop prices have shown a pause in their upward trend, experiencing a sideways movement in the past months. Grain inventory stocks relative to consumption levels are at historically lows in the United States. Over the next months, the final planted acreage in the northern hemisphere croplands will be defined, which will allow to forecast production for the next season.

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

At production level, Cresud’s prospects for the season’s end are positive. Expected crop yields for the harvest currently in progress will be good despite the La Niña weather effect, which was in turn offset by our products’ higher prices. Harvesting activities and sales are at an advanced stage as of the date of this release. Besides, the recovery in beef cattle and milk prices has propped up the margins from those activities.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

 

As concerns our dairy business, we have concentrated milk production in our state-of-the-art dairy facility in El Tigre, where we have optimized our herds, focusing on improving production quality.

During this season we have increased our planted hectares, and we are developing more than 16,000 additional hectares to be placed into production in 2012 in our farms in Salta and Paraguay. In Argentina, we are making progress in our strategy of supplementing agriculture in our own farms with agricultural activities in leased farms, achieving satisfactory results in an attractive price environment.

As concerns Cresud’s regional expansion, 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 an improved market price scenario, in line with our objective of forming a regional portfolio with significant development and appreciation potential.
