Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Financial Statements of the Subsidiary Companies mentioned in Note 2. have been prepared based on accounting principles consistent with those followed by Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria for the preparation of its Financial Statements, as detailed in Note 2. of the basic financial statements.

 

On December 27, 2005, Agropecuaria Cervera S.A. (ACER) was purchased. Therefore, such company´s balance sheets have been consolidated line by line. Profits and losses of ACER between the date of purchase and the date of closing of the financial statements have not been significant and have, therefore, not been included in the Statement of Income.

 

High relevant valuation and disclosed criteria applied in preparing ACER’s financial statements and not explained in the significant accounting policies note of the holding company are as follows:

 

Valuation criteria-inventories

 

The tree plantations included in the caption have been valued at replacement cost in accordance with the Tree Plantation Increase Report made in December 2003 by a forestry expert at the request of ACER´s previous shareholders.

 

ACER former board of directors based on such report as well as on own estimates accepted the value of Ps. 4,320,000 and recorded an equal amount in other reserves in shareholders equity.

 

ACER’s current board of directors and shareholders, who took control of the company at period end, will request the opinion of an independent skilled appraisal so as to verify the above mentioned valuation and be able to apply it to current accounting standards.

 

Other considerations – new concessions

 

Among other goods and rights ACER has the concession for planning the execution of an integral development project including biological, economy and social issues on several real estates located in the department of Anta, province of Salta. The company is also properly authorized to perform a significant agricultural, cattle farming and forestry project which was awarded under resolution No. 190/99 and bidding No. 58/98 of the Ministry of Production and Employment.

 

Such concession was granted for a 35 year term with a postponement option of 29 additional years by ACER.

 

Among other obligations ACER has to invest Ps. 16 million in agriculture, cattle farming, hydraulic resources, continuing education, forestry development, forest planting, fauna, natural reserve and eco-tourism, and has to pay an annual US$ 60,000 cannon to the province of Salta to be paid as from the 20th year as from the commencement of the concession.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

For the six-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

 

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 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 C.N.V.

 

  b. Applied Accounting Standards

 

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

 

The C.N.V., through Resolution No. 434/03 has adopted such technical resolutions with some exceptions and modifications, which have been in force for fiscal years initiated as from January 1, 2003.

 

The last changes basically result from the registration of income tax under the deferred tax method, as concerns agreements involving derivative instruments at their fair value and the valuation of receivables and payables with no stated rate at their discounted value.

 

As at February 19, 2003, the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A., enacted Technical Resolution No. 21 “Proportional value- consolidation of financial statements- information to provide on related parties” through Resolution M.D. No. 5/2003.

 

The above mentioned Technical Resolution and the amendments introduced became effective for fiscal years ended as from April 1, 2003. Furthermore, The C.N.V. has adopted such Technical Resolution, through Resolution No. 459/04 introducing some modifications, which will be in force for fiscal years started as from April 1, 2004, consequently the Company has considered their application.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

On January 12, 2005, the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A. approved Technical Resolution No. 22, “Professional accounting rules: agricultural business” under its Resolution M.D. No. 01/2005 effective for fiscal years starting as from July 1, 2005. The C.N.V. adopted such Technical Resolution through its Resolution No. 485 of December 29, 2005, effective for complete or interim periods of fiscal years commencing as from January 1, 2006. In accordance with the Company´s evaluation, the application of such resolution will not produce an impact on respect of the valuation of biological assets and it represents an improvement in the exposure. To such extent, production of meet is shown in these financial statements in Schedule F.

 

On August 10, 2005, the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires (C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A.) through its Resolution CD 93/2005 approved the consolidation of the professional accounting principles of its jurisdiction with those issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences.

 

For the purpose of such Resolution, the issuance of reports from Certified Public Accountants on Financial Statements, Audit Standards, Statutory Audit Committee Standards and Professional Accounting Principles which are to be applied on a mandatory basis in the City of Buenos Aires, are contained in:

 

  a) Technical Resolutions 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21 and 22 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences including the changes therein made by such entity up to April 1, 2005;

 

  b) Resolution No. 287/03 of the Governing Body of such Federation;

 

  c) Other interpretations of the accounting and audit standards 1, 2, 3 and 4 of such Federation with the changes therein made by such entity up to April 1, 2005

 

The above-mentioned standards will become effective for complete or interim periods of fiscal years commencing as from January 1, 2006 their anticipated application being admitted, and will substitute those standards contained in Resolutions CD No. 87/2003 and MD No. 1/2005 of the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires.

 

On December 29, 2005, through Resolutions 485 and 487, the National Securities Commission (CNV) adopted with certain changes the standards of the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A. The standards adopted will become effective for the Company on July 1, 2006 (date of beginning of the next fiscal period). The principal change arising from the consolidation of the accounting standards is related to the treatment given to the adjustment for inflation in the calculation of the deferred tax, which can be taken as a temporary difference, according to the Company´s criteria. The adjustment for inflation is currently considered as a permanent difference in the calculation of the deferred tax. The Company is currently analyzing if it will change said accounting criteria and will report to the controlling authorities the decision before March 31, 2006.

 

The financial statements for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 have not been audited. The Company management estimates that all necessary adjustments are included to reasonably present the income statements accounts of each year. The six-month periods´ income statements accounts as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Company´s income statements accounts for the complete fiscal years.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  c. Accounting for inflation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Resolution M.D. 3/02 of the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A., which has established the application of Technical Resolution No. 6, as amended by Technical Resolution No. 19 of the F.A.C.P.C.E., as from fiscal years or interim periods ended on or after March 31, 2002.

 

On March 25, 2003, the National Executive Power issued Decree No. 664 establishing that financial statements for fiscal years ended as from that date should be stated in nominal currency.

 

Therefore, in accordance with Resolution No. 441 issued by the C.N.V. on April 8, 2003, the Company discontinued restatement of its financial statements effective March 1, 2003. This criteria does not comply with Resolution M.D. 041/2003, enacted by the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A., by means of which the restatement of financial statements as of October 1, 2003 is no longer compulsory. However, as of December 31, 2005, this deviation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

As a consequence of the above mentioned, the initial balances at the Company’s financial statements are presented in constant currency as of February 28, 2003, having considered the accounting measurements restated by the changes in the purchasing power money until interruption of the adjustment and those arising in the period of stability, restated into currency of December 2001. Transactions subsequent to February 28, 2003 have been recorded at their historical values.

 

The coefficients prepared based on the domestic wholesale price index, published by the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos, have been applied for purposes of the abovementioned restatement of comparative information.

 

  d. Comparative Information

 

For comparison purposes, reclassifications have been made as of December 31, 2004.

 

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  a. Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Estimates are used when accounting for the conversion of convertible bonds into shares of stock, investments, doubtful accounts, depreciation, income taxes, deferred liabilities and provisions for contingencies, accrual for expenses, donations and recoverable value of the current and non-current assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  b. Local currency assets and liabilities

 

       The local currency assets and liabilities are stated at period-end nominal currency.

  2. Goodwill

 

The goodwill relating to the purchase of the subsidiary Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A. has been valued at its restated cost as of February 28, 2003, calculated as the difference between the price paid for such investment and its equity value calculated at the time of purchase, which was also restated as of that date (Note. 1.c.).

The negative goodwill corresponding to the investment in Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. had been valued at cost restated as of February 28, 2003, and calculated as a difference between the market value of such investment and its equity value at the time of changing the March 2002-valuation method, and in each one of the purchases restated, if any, at that same date (Note 1.c).

 

Depreciation is calculated in accordance with the estimated useful life, which is 20 years and has been classified under Gain from controlled companies and related companies in the statement of income.

 

Current valuations and economic conditions tend to make less risky any permanent investment opportunity and also help increasing the possibility to obtain significant long-term profits through IRSA shares.

 

The goodwill of the business (positive) for the purchase of the subsidiary Agropecuaria Cervera S.A. (ACSA) has been valued at cost value, which was calculated as a difference between the value paid for such investment and the estimated current value of the assets added.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

  o. Results for the period

 

Charges for assets consumed are calculated considering the values of the assets.

 

Holding gain and loans of livestock are disclosed in one line in the Income Statement and in Schedule F and is calculated as explained in note 2.j.1.

 

Cost of sale is calculated by inventory difference and cattle and corns production is disclosed in Schedule F (see notes 2.j.1 and 2.j.2)

 

The remaining results for the period are disclosed in the paid cost.

 

The income statement shows the financial gains and losses, discriminating those generated by assets and those generated by liabilities.

 

  p. Income Tax

 

The Company has recognized the income tax on the basis of the deferred tax liability method, thus considering temporary differences between registration of assets and liabilities for accounting and tax purposes. The principal temporary differences originate in the valuation of livestock and the sale and replacement of fixed assets.

 

In order to determine deferred assets and liabilities the tax rate expected to be in effect at the temporary of reversal or use has been applied on the temporary differences identified and tax loss carryforwards, considering the laws enacted as of the date of issuance of these financial statements (35%).

 

Assets and liabilities generated by the application of the deferred tax method have been valued at face value.

 

  q. Tax on minimum presumed income

 

The Company determines the tax on minimum presumed income 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 will be the higher of these two taxes. However, if the tax on minimum presumed income exceeds the income tax in any period, such excess may be computed as payment on account of the income tax that may be payable in any of the following ten fiscal years.

 

  r. Revenue recognition

 

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

Unaudited Business Highlight

 

Buenos Aires, February 10, 2006 - Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (Nasdaq: CRESY – BCBA: CRES), one of the leading agricultural companies in Argentina, announced today its results for the six-month period of fiscal year 2006, ended December 31, 2005.

 

The results for the first six-month period of 2006 showed a net profit of Ps. 23.9 million compared to the Ps. 9.5 million profit for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

This increase in the net result is mainly due to: (i) a major increase in sales in the first six-month period ended December 31, 2005, (ii) the results from the sale of farming establishments, which amounted to Ps. 9.9 million in the current period, (iii) an increase in results as a consequence of exchange gains/losses generated by financial assets and liabilities, which rose from a Ps. 0.96 million loss in the first six-month period of fiscal 2005 to a Ps. 2.2 million profit for this six-month period, and (iv) the results from the sale of previously acquired Bonds which amounted to Ps. 14.9 million.

 

Consolidated net sales for the period were Ps. 54.7 million, 55.2% higher than consolidated net sales for the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to increases in the sales of crops and milk for the first six-month period of 2005.

 

Gross profit for the first six-month period of fiscal 2006 was Ps. 12.0 million as compared to Ps. 6.4 million gross profit for the same period of the previous year.

 

This rise in gross profit is due to an increase in the sales of crops, which offset the impact of the lower average price per ton compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

There was also an increase in the production of milk as a result of the start-up of production activities in the new dairy facilities in our El Tigre farm. The production of milk rose by 123% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, with a highly positive impact in the margin of the segment.

 

Operating results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 were a Ps. 14.7 million profit, compared to the Ps. 7.1 million profit for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

Results from related companies were a Ps. 7.5 million profit, mainly due to our ownership share in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. as of December 31, 2005.

Summary of operations

 

Crops

 

Crop sales totaled Ps. 28.9 million for this six-month period, compared to Ps. 11.2 million crop sales for the previous period. Crop sales amounted to 86,347 tons at an average price per ton of Ps. 335 compared to 31,906 tons sold at an average price of Ps. 352 during the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

At December 31, 2005, 66% of the 5,513 hectares sown with wheat had been harvested. The yield obtained was way above expectations. Sunflower and soybean crops have also been showing satisfactory performance.

 

Our crop stock totaled 19,318 tons at the end of the six-month period, from which 14,051 tons were of wheat and 4,443 tons were of corn.

 

In the period ended December 31, 2005 gross profit in this segment was Ps. 5.3 million compared to a loss of Ps. 0.2 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Gross profit in this segment rose as a result of the boost in crop sales and an overall increase in the price of crops. In turn, at the close of the period accumulated stocks were favored by an increase in real terms in the average prices of the different crops.

 

In the current season, our agricultural activities extend over a surface area of 37,022 hectares, 17,004 of which are leased from third parties. The total number of hectares devoted to agricultural activities has risen by 1,174 compared to the previous year, mainly as a result of the acquisition of the “El Invierno” farm, which boosted the number of own hectares in operation, and of the increase in land leased from third parties.

 

Beef Cattle

 

At December 31, 2005, the Company had a 93,242-head cattle stock, 7% lower than at December 31 of the previous year. The total surface area devoted to beef cattle activities is 129,946 hectares.

 

Livestock sales decreased by 7.6% compared to the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 18.7 million at December 31, 2004 to Ps. 17.3 million at December 31, 2005. During the first six-month period of the current fiscal year sales totaled 7,792 tons, compared to the 8,953 tons sold in the first six-month period of fiscal 2004: this segment shows a 13% decrease.

 

Gross profit in the cattle beef segment was Ps. 2.7 million, compared to Ps. 4.0 million for the first six-month period of the previous fiscal year. This drop in the business unit’s gross profit is mainly due to the drop in sales, which was partially offset by a higher average price in livestock.

 

Cattle beef production was 4,532 tons, a 24% decrease compared to the previous fiscal year. This variation was due to a decrease in cattle stock derived from the sale of two farms and the effects of the drought that particularly impacted the province of Catamarca.

Milk

 

Milk production increased by 123% in the six-month period, from 3.5 million liters at December 31, 2004, to 7.9 million liters at December 31, 2005.

 

Gross profit at December 31, 2005 was Ps. 2.0 million, 186% higher than the profit for the same period of the previous year. This increase reflects higher production resulting from the start-up of operations at the new dairy facilities in the “El Tigre” farm and the higher average price per liter of milk, which rose from Ps. 0.44 to Ps. 0.54.

 

The “El Tigre” dairy farm, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, started to operate on March 1, 2005. This dairy farm can process 2,000 heads and its production capabilities can deliver up to 32,000 liters of milk per day. Forecasts for this business segment estimate yields even higher than those projected for the agricultural segment. The investment required by this project was U$S 1.0 million.

 

At present, the Company has another dairy farm in La Juanita, whose feeding system is mainly pasture-based. This feeding system implies lower costs.

 

The milk business in Argentina has undergone major oscillations in recent decades: there was a sustained growth until 1999 and afterwards, as a direct consequence of the economic crisis in 2001, there was a major drop in production. At present, thanks to attractive prices, the segment has become an interesting alternative again and the quantities of dairy products exported in 2005 have reached record high levels.

 

Feed Lot

 

The Company has a 50% equity interest in Cactus Argentina S.A., which in turn operates a 170-hectare Feed Lot in the province of San Luis: during the six-month period ended December 31, 2005 the Feed Lot continued to play a key role in our company’s cattle beef production which helped strengthen growth in the segment.

 

Cactus Argentina S.A.’s gross profit for the six-month period was Ps. 1.2 million, 140% higher than for the same six-month period of the previous fiscal year. The net result for the six-month period was a Ps. 0.1 million profit compared to a Ps. 0.1 million loss for the period ended December 31, 2004. This result is mainly due to the increase in the volume of food sold in the hosting service caused by admission of bigger animals and the increased profitability yielded by the Company’s own beef cattle.

 

Feed-lot fed animals yield consistently standard-end products, therefore buyers obtain high quality, which facilitates trading activities, increases prices and enhances access to the European market.

 

Prospects for the coming period are highly encouraging. Occupation levels may, despite the increase in corn prices, yield significant increases as a result of a Resolution issued by the Argentine Government and pursuant to which slaughtering of cattle below 300 kg is suspended for the purpose of meeting an increasing demand for beef, both domestic and foreign.

 

Purchase and sale of farms

 

In September 2005 we signed the title deed for the acquisition of “San Pedro”, a 6,022-hectare farm located in the Department of Uruguay, province of Entre Ríos. The purchase price was agreed at U$S 16 million, of which U$S 9.5 million were paid upon execution of the title deed, U$S 4.0 million were canceled during the quarter and the remaining U$S 2.5 million matures in September 2006.

Development of marginal lands

 

We believe that the potential of the segment lies on the development of marginal land, as has been the case in various countries worldwide. With the help of state-of-the-art technology we can obtain yields similar to, and returns better than, those in the core areas.

 

During the first six-month period of fiscal 2006, development efforts continued at our “Los Pozos” farm located in the province of Salta, foresting the addition, during the current fiscal year, of 6000 additional hectares destned to the cattle beef activity which already have grass sowed.

 

At December 31, 2005 Cresud’s land reserves amounted to 258,477 hectares, which had been acquired at very low prices. In our opinion, the development of these areas, accompanied by technological breakthroughs will contribute to appreciate the value of land which will in turn imply significant gains for the Company.

 

Investments in Other Companies

 

On December 27, 2005, Cresud and its subsidiary IGSA bought 100% of the shares in Agropecuaria Cervera S.A. (ACER) pursuant to a swap agreement. ACER has, among other assets and rights, the concession of the start-up of production activities in the framework of a comprehensive development project that comprises biological, economic and social aspects over various properties in the Anta department, province of Salta. ACER has been duly authorized to carry out a major agriculture, livestock and forestry project.

 

In consideration for this swap, Cresud transferred 3.6 million Bonds which may be converted into ordinary shares issued by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. and paid Ps. 0.96 million, while IGSA paid Ps. 0.1 million and U$S 0.7 million.

 

Expansion to Brazil

 

Based on an analysis of the potential offered by the Brazilian agricultural market, the Company decided to move forward with the possibility of investing in Brazil through a special purpose vehicle/entity. For that purpose, proceedings have been started to create a company under the name of “BrasilAgro - Companhia Brasileira de Propiedades Agrícolas” and funds have been contributed in the amount of Ps. 0.6 million. Such exposure in the Brazilian market by no means alters the Company’s priorities in its current and future investments in Argentina.

 

Brazil was chosen as a target for new investments taking into consideration the very special features of the market, which afford an outstanding opportunity to apply the know-how developed by our company.

 

Internet

 

The Company holds a 70% equity interest in Fyo.com, an Internet site. Fyo.com’s position as leader in the farming sector continues to strengthen on the basis of the broad range of business services offered to the sector and Fyo.com’s role in direct sales of supplies and crop brokerage services.

 

At present, Futuros y Opciones.com S.A. has a database of over 40,000 users and more than 5,000 farmers authorized to carry out business. The strategy implemented consists in focusing on business services to farmers by leveraging on Cresud’s experience and operating capacity in the business, with Fyo.com being the link with customers.

Results from IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.

 

The result derived from our equity interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones (NYSE: IRS – BCBA: IRSA) showed a Ps. 29.0 million profit compared to a Ps. 56.8 million profit at December 31, 2004.

 

IRSA’s results are basically due to the following circumstances: revenues increased by 38.4% from Ps. 185.2 million at December 31, 2004 to Ps. 256.4 million at December 31, 2005, accounted for by the following increases (i) Ps. 57.9 million in the shopping center segment, (ii) Ps. 0.2 million in sales and developments, (iii) Ps. 7.7 million in the hotels segment, (iv) Ps. 4.5 million in offices and other lease properties, and (v) Ps. 0.9 million in financial and other operations.

 

IRSA is Argentina’s leading real estate company with a fully diversified portfolio of properties.

 

IRSA participates in the following business segments:

 

    Office rental with more than 98,100 m2 for lease of premium offices.

 

    Operation of Shopping Centers through its 61.62% equity interest in Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) (Nasdaq: APSA, BCBA: APSA). APSA is one of the leading operators of shopping centers in Argentina and owns or has majority interests in 9 shopping centers with 212,159 m2 of Gross Leasable Area.

 

    Holding and operation of luxury hotels through its equity interest in 3 five-star hotels.

 

Besides, IRSA owns residential properties for sale and land reserves for current and future developments valued at Ps. 402.6 million.

 

Additionally, IRSA has an 11.8% ownership interest in Banco Hipotecario, the leading Argentine mortgage bank whose net worth amounts to Ps. 2,217 million. This amount has been calculated in accordance with the regulations of the Argentine Central Bank on the basis of temporary amounts as at the time of issuance of IRSA’s financial statements at December 31, 2005, Banco Hipotecario S.A. had not yet completed the issuance and approval of its financial statements.

 

IRSA’s total consolidated assets amount to Ps. 2,622.7 million and its shareholder’s equity amounts to Ps. 1,301.3 million.

 

At December 31, 2005, the amount of outstanding Bonds and warrants was U$S 56.98 million and 57.75 million, respectively. Outstanding shares at that date were 368,447,883.

 

At December 31, 2005, our equity interest in IRSA amounted to 21.1% of its total outstanding shares. In addition, our holdings of Convertible Bonds issued by IRSA amount to U$S 33.0 million. These Convertible Bonds bear an option to purchase additional shares in IRSA. Should the option and conversion rights be exercised on equal footing with all remaining bondholders, Cresud would become owner of 34.3% of IRSA’s capital stock. Our ownership interest in IRSA is currently valued by application of the equity method.

Reduction of debt due to the conversion of notes and exercise of Warrants

 

As of the date of this report, Cresud’s indebtedness resulting from the issuance of Convertible Bonds diminished by U$S 13,023,213, from the U$S 50,000,000 originally issued, as a result of the conversions received.

 

In addition, as of the date this report, a total amount of 9,799,343 Warrants have been exercised, which generated income for the company in the amount of U$S 11.8 million.

 

Therefore, after giving effect to all the conversions received and warrants exercised, the amount of Bonds outstanding as of the date of this report is U$S 36,976,787 and the amount of outstanding warrants is 40,200,657. The amount of shares issued was 44,943,917, which raised the company’s total outstanding shares to 169,228,309.

 

At December 31, 2005, the Company’s holdings in IRSA’s Convertible Bonds amounted to U$S 33.0 million. The interest rate accrued by these bonds is the same as that accrued by the bonds issued by Cresud. During this period Cresud swapped 3.6 million IRSA Bonds, which resulted in a Ps. 14.9 profit.

 

The following is a detail of the past, present and potential situation of the Convertible Bonds issued on November 14, 2002 under the laws of the State of New York at an 8% interest rate (payable on a half-yearly basis) maturing on November 14, 2007 and convertible at a price of U$S 0.5078 per share of 1.00 par value (1.9693 shares for each Convertible Bond). The Convertible Bonds also have a warrant attached that allows its holder to purchase 1.9693 shares of $1.00 par value at a price of U$S 0.6093 each per Convertible Bond.

Dividend Distribution

 

On November 29, 2005 the Company’s Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved the distribution in cash of Ps. 10.0 million as dividends or Ps. 0.0591 per share of Ps. 1.00 par value (Ps. 0.591 per ADR). Dividends were effectively paid as from December 22, 2005.

 

Perspectives for the coming quarter

 

Prospects for the coming quarter are quite encouraging: the prices of commodities continue to be very firm and therefore we expect an increase in our returns. Prospects are also favorable as regards progress in soybean and sunflower harvesting activities for next quarter. In relation to the budget, both crops are showing optimum performance as of the date of this report. In the case of corn, we estimate a loss ranging from 5% to 10% resulting from droughts, which will be nonetheless offset by the increase in prices.

 

In accordance with our strategy to develop new agricultural projects, we are working on a possible expansion to Brazil; we do not rule out the possibility of moving forward with these projects in the current fiscal year.

Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Shareholders, President and Board of Directors of

Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial,

Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

 

1. We have reviewed the balance sheets of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the complementary notes 1 to 19 and schedules A, C, E, F, G and H. Furthermore, we have reviewed the consolidated financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria, which are presented as complementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

2. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by Technical Resolution N° 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial statements. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
