NOTE 1:

  (Continued)

 

 

b.      Comparative Information

  Balance sheet items as of June 30, 2006 shown in these unaudited consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual consolidated financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.
  The balances at March 31, 2007 of the unaudited Statements of Income, Changes in Shareholders´ Equity and Cash Flows are disclosed in comparative format with the same period of the previous fiscal year.
  Certain amounts in the unaudited financial statements at March 31, 2006 were reclassified for disclosure on a comparative basis with those for the period ended March 31, 2007.
NOTE 2:   CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION
  The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in constant monetary units, reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. From that date and until December 31, 2001 the government discontinued the restatement of the financial statements due to a period of monetary stability. From January 1, 2002 up to February 28, 2003 the effects of inflation were recognized due to the existence of an inflationary period. As from that date, the restatement of the financial statements was discontinued.
  This criterion is not in line with current professional accounting standards, which establish that the financial statements should be restated through September 30, 2003. However, due to the low level of inflation rates during the period from March to September 2003, this deviation has not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
  The rate used for restatement of items is the domestic wholesale price index published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.
NOTE 3:   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  The unaudited financial statements of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1, have been prepared on a consistent basis with those applied by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima. The Note 1 to the unaudited basic financial statements details the most significant accounting policies applied and mentions the recently approved unification of accounting standards that will be applicable at the beginning of the next fiscal year. Below are the most relevant accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries, which are not included in that note.

  a. Banco Hipotecario S.A. shares

Banco Hipotecario S.A. shares were valued by using the equity method of accounting by the end of the period. See Note 1.5.i. to the unaudited basic financial statements.

 

  b. Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenues mainly stem from office leases, shopping center operations, development and sale of real estate and hotel operations.

 

   

Leases and services from shopping center operations

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 gross sales (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 8% of tenant’s gross sales).

Furthermore, pursuant to the rent adjustment clause in most leases, the tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 4% and 7% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of sales or based on a percentage of sales volume above a specified threshold. The Company determines the compliance with specific targets and calculates the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided for in the contracts. Thus, these contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.

Generally, the Company’s lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months. Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial nine 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 during the first year of its lease, and one month of rent if the tenant rescinds after the first year of its lease.

Additionally, the Company monthly charges its tenants administration fees, which are prorated among the tenants according to their leases and varies from shopping center to shopping center, relating 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.

NOTE 3:

  (Continued)

 

  b. (Continued)

Administration fees are recognized monthly when accrued. In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged “admission rights”, 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

Revenues derived from credit card transactions include commissions and financing income, charges to users for life and disability insurance and statements of accounts. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed, while the remaining income is recognized at the time it is accrued.

Property development expenses

Expenses incurred related to the selling of development properties, including advertising, commissions and other expenses, are charged to net income for the period in which the corresponding income is accrued, based on the percentage of completion method.

The value of these assets does not exceed its estimated recoverable value at the end of each period.

 

  d. Goodwill

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the market value of net assets of the subsidiaries at the percentage participation acquired over the acquisition cost. Goodwill has been restated following the guidelines mentioned in Note 2 and amortization has been calculated by the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life, considering the weighted-average of the remaining useful life of identifiable assets acquired subject to depreciation.

Additionally, also included was the goodwill from the subsidiary APSA, originating from the purchase of shares of Tarshop S.A., Fibesa S.A., Panamerican Mall S.A., Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. EMPALME and Emprendimiento Recoleta S.A., which is amortized through the straight-line method over a period that not exceeds 10 years.

Goodwill corresponding to the acquisition of Panamerican Mall S.A. has been valued at cost, calculated as the difference between the value paid for such investment and the estimated current value of the assets acquired.

The goodwill for the acquisition of the controlled companies Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. and Palermo Invest S.A. has been valued at cost, calculated as difference between the value paid for such investment and the book value of the participation acquired. The Company is currently analyzing the current value of assets and liabilities acquired in line with Technical Resolution No. 21.

Amortization has been classified under “Amortization of goodwill” in the Unaudited Statements of Income.

Puerto Retiro S.A.

 

 

On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. (indirect subsidiary of the Company) 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. Concurrently with the complaint, 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 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, this being 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. believe that there are legal and technical issues sufficient to consider that the request for postponement of 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.

 

 

Hoteles Argentinos S.A. mortgage loan

 

 

The Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Hoteles Argentinos S.A. (“HASA”, subsidiary of the company) held on January 5, 2001 approved taking a long-term mortgage loan from Bank Boston N.A. for a total amount of US$ 12,000 to be used to refinance existing debts. The term of the loan was agreed at 60 months payable in 19 equal and quarterly installments of US$ 300 and one final payment of US$ 6,300. Such loan accrued LIBO rate plus a variable spread to be applied in the different periods. The agreement was signed on January 26, 2001.

 

 

As a result of the economic situation of the country, the lack of credit and the crisis of the Argentine financial system, principal installments of US$ 300 each falling due as from January 26, 2002 and the interest installments for a total amount of US$ 2,459 falling due as from July 29, 2002, were not paid by HASA.

On December 16, 2004 Ritelco S.A. purchased the loan of US$ 12,951 that the Company’s controlled subsidiary Hoteles Argentinos S.A. (80%) owed Marathon Master Fund, Ltd.

  

 

On March 23, 2005 Ritelco S.A. sold to Credit Suisse International (“CSI” formerly Credit Suisse First Boston) the loan agreement.

  

 

The board of directors of HASA, in the meeting held on April 17, 2006, made an evaluation of the matters related to the original debt refinancing and decided to modify and amend the original loan agreement (Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) in order to reduce the outstanding amount of the original loan capital and postpone its maturity to March 15, 2010.

 

   On April 21, 2006, HASA and CSI, entered into a Modified Loan contract in the following terms:
  

 

As condition precedent for carrying out the mentioned re-structuring, Credit Suisse compelled the payment of US$ 2,000 for partial cancellation of the matured and unpaid original debt. Also, the payment capital conditions of the modified loan and interest were agreed as follows:

 

   a) Principal cancellations:

   US$ 239

- 09-15-2009

   US$ 253

- 03-15-2010

   US$  5,070

 

   b) The principal installments will be paid with interest on the outstanding principal loan to be amortized as stated in clause 2.3 of the Modified Loan Contract, according to the following detail:
  

 

¡      Period 03-15-2006 to the effective day of the contract (04-21-2006), interest was accrued on US$ 8,000 at an annual 12.07% rate. HASA did not pay any other interest accrued up to the effective date, including interest on loan arrears.

 

  

¡      From 04-21-2006 to 09-15-2006, interest was accrued on the outstanding principal at an annual 12.07% rate.

 

  

¡      As from 09-15-2006, the loan will accrue:

  

 

(A)   Interest at an annual rate equal to six-month LIBO, as determined by CSI the second working day prior to each interest period, plus the applicable margin of 7,0% (the “Interest Rate”), and

 

  

(B)   Interest will accrue as from the first day of each interest period inclusive and will be payable twice a year on arrears on each interest payment date.

Once HASA has credited the amount of US$ 2,000 made on April 21, 2006, the mortgage was partially cancelled reducing the original amount to the total of US$ 6,000. Consequently, the fourth paragraph of such instrument was changed and it was established that the asset mortgaged assure the proper compliance in time of all the Obligations arising from the Modified Loan Contract.

 

 

In addition to the Modified Loan Contract entered into with HASA and its financial creditor CSI, two credit default swaps were subscribed. One between IRSA and CSI for 80% of the restructured debt value, this being an amendment of the previous one signed, and the other one is a credit default swap between Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. (Starwood) and CSI for 20% of the restructured debt value. Under these contracts, both companies (IRSA and Starwood) are able to protect CSI in case of non-compliance with HASA’s obligations. For valuable consideration, the Company and Starwood will be paid a coupon on a periodical basis.

CPs are subordinated securities which entitle the CP holders to share pro rata in the cash flows of the securitized credit card receivables, after principal and interest on the TDFs and other fees and expenses have been paid. During the revolving period no payments are made to TDF and CP holders. Principal collections of the underlying financial assets are used by the Trust to acquire additional credit card receivables throughout the revolving period. Once the revolving period ends, a period of liquidation occurs during which: (i) no further assets are purchased, (ii) all cash collections are used to fulfill the TDF service requirements and (iii) the remaining proceeds are used to fulfill the CPs service requirements.

 

 

In consideration of the receivables transferred to the Trusts, which have been eliminated from the APSA´s balance sheet, Tarshop received cash (arising from the placement of the debt securities by the Trusts) and CPs issued by the trusts. The latter are recorded at their equity values at the closing of the period/year on the basis of the financial statements issued by the trusts.

 

 

Tarshop S.A. subsidiary of APSA, agreed on a Securitization Program of consumption portfolio for the purpose of securing long-term financing and the possibility of direct access to the capital market.

 

 

Under this Securitization Program, on March 31, 2007, Tarshop S.A. transferred to financial trusts the total amount of Ps. 597.7 million of credits receivable originated in the use of its clients’ credit cards and personal loans carrying promissory notes. Consequently, TDF Series “A” were issued for Ps. 510.0 million, Series “B” for Ps. 35.9 million, CP Series “C” for Ps. 51.6 million, and CP Series “D” for Ps. 0.2 million. On the other hand, Tarshop S.A. acquired all the CP Series “C” in an amount equal to its nominal value, and all the remaining TDF and CP were placed to investments through a public offer in Argentina. As credit protection to investors, Tarshop S.A. has made a cash reserve for losses in the amount of Ps. 12.4 million.

  As such transactions were made among subsidiaries, in which IRSA holds 100% interest, they do not modify the shareholding and do not affect the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
  Consequently, total shareholding in Banco Hipotecario S.A. amounted to 17,641,015.
  As of March 31, 2007, total shareholding amounts to 176,410,150 shares, because as from February 15, 2007, the change in the nominal value of the share of Banco Hipotecario S.A. from Ps. 10 to Ps. 1 was made effective.

  INVESTMENT IN IRSA TELECOMUNICACIONES N.V. (ITNV)
  At June 30, 2005, Ritelco held an investment in ITNV representing 49.36% of its common shares. Ritelco had discontinued in prior years the application of the equity method for valuing this investment because there were mandatory redeemable preferred shares issued by ITNV, as Ritelco had not secured ITNV obligations, nor had it agreed to provide financial support to that company. For this reason, the investment in ITNV was valued at zero.
  On August 19, 2005, a share purchase agreement was entered into by and between ITNV, Ritelco S.A. and Dolphin Fund PLC (another shareholder of ITNV) whereby ITNV acquired all the common shares held by those shareholders (4,106,000 and 1,675,000 shares, respectively) for US$ 0.1470333852 per share. The amount of this transaction is US$ 850, of which US$ 604 correspond to Ritelco S.A. On that date, ITNV cancelled the total amount of the transaction.
  Considering that the above-mentioned transaction occurred subsequent to the prior fiscal year end, but before the issuance of the annual financial statements, Ritelco took up as of June 30, 2005 the investment in ITNV at its equity value up to the limit of its recoverable value. Consequently, Ritelco recorded an income of US$ 604 as of June 30, 2005.

  Main issue terms and conditions of the Convertible Negotiable Obligations are as follows:
 

•     Issue currency: US dollars.

 

•     Due date: On May 2, 2006, the Meeting of Shareholders decided to postpone the date of original maturity to July 19, 2014 this being the reason for the Convertible Negotiable Obligations (CNO) to be classified as non-current in these unaudited financial statements.

•     Payment currency: US dollars or its equivalent in pesos.

 

•     Conversion right: the notes can be converted at any time at the option of each holder into ordinary shares at a conversion price equivalent to the higher of the result from dividing the nominal value of the Company’s shares (Ps. 0.1) by the exchange rate and US$ 0.0324, which means that each Note is potentially exchangeable for 30.864 shares of Ps. 0.1 par value each.

 

•     Right to collect dividends: the shares underlying the conversion of the negotiable obligations will be entitled to the same right to collect any dividends to be declared after the conversion as the shares outstanding at the time of the conversion.

  PROVISION FOR UNEXPIRED CLAIMS AGAINST LLAO LLAO HOLDING S.A.

The company Llao Llao Holding S.A. (in the process of dissolution due to merger with IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima), predecessor of Llao Llao Resorts S.A. in the operation of the hotel complex “Hotel Llao Llao”, which was awarded by Resolution No. 1/91 issued by the National Parks Administration, was sued in 1997 by that Administration to obtain collection of the unpaid balance of the additional sale price, in Argentine external debt securities amounting to US$ 2,870. 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 the mentioned amount in Argentine external debt securities available at the date of the ruling, plus interest accrued through payment, and compensatory and punitive interest and lawyers´ fees.

The unpaid balance approved in the court records, carried out by the plaintiff as of June 30, 2001, includes face value bonds of US$ 4,127, plus compensatory and punitive interest, payable in cash, in a total amount of US$ 3,800.

On March 2, 2004, such company made a deposit of Ps. 7,191 in Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires in favor of the National Parks Administration and a transfer of Argentine external debt securities class FRB - FRB L+13/16 2005 for a total nominal value of US$ 4,127, equivalent to Ps. 1,964. The total amount settled on that date was Ps. 9,155.

The intervening court served notice to the plaintiff of payment made, and on June 30, 2004 the plaintiff presented a writing rejecting that payment, considering it partial settlement of the debt arising from the firm judgement filed in the records of the case, and requested the setting up of a time deposit with the funds paid, automatically renewable every thirty days, until final payment of the total debt.

The Court resolved the matter by considering notice to have been served; as regards the amount due, the plaintiff must conform the claim to current regulations. Until final resolution of the matter, Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires was instructed to appropriate the funds to a renewable time deposit.

In accordance with the legal advisors´ report, the plaintiff has yet neither initiated the execution of the sentence nor liquidated its credit.

In line with the matters reported by the lawyers in respect of this suit, such company management recorded a reserve for an amount Ps. 4,588 as of March 31, 2007, which was determined according to the difference between the amount claimed for compensatory and punitive interest of US$ 3,800 and the amount deposited in the court of Ps. 7,191.

Five of the six plaintiff’s lawyers filed a motion in relation to their fees in the case, as they understood that the amount agreed should have been paid in U.S. dollars and not in pesos. In a provisional remedy, due to the unpaid balance carried out in the court records under the claims of two of the lawyers, an order was issued to attach the company’s bank current accounts, which occurred in March 2005. As of March 31, 2007, such attached funds amounts to Ps. 861.

Such company legal advisors challenged the unpaid balance carried out in the court records based on several reasons (payments performed prior to the pesification, unlawful and exorbitant interest, etc.). This case is carried out by two legal advisors. In accordance with the probable contingency reported by the lawyers as of March 31, 2007, such company management has reserved the amount of Ps. 1,023. An accord and satisfaction agreement was settled with the other three litigant lawyers, by which it was agreed to pay the amount of U$S 68 to each one of them, in installments, the last becoming due in February 5, 2008. One of these agreements was signed on September 29, 2006 and the other two on October 17, 2006.

The sixth female attorney, who had not appealed the resolution that provided for the conversion into pesos of the attorney´s fees, submitted a note to this file arguing that the resolution of the appeal of her colleagues is also applicable in her case and determined the amount in US$ 95. The Company has challenged the claim in the understanding that the Court resolution is not applicable and that the conversion into pesos is final. The claim is not yet solved. According to the Company´s legal advisors, as of March 31, 2007 an allowance of Ps. 86 has been recorded for this claim for adjustment of the referential stabilization coefficient applicable to the credit as from the fourth installment (from a total of twelve installments).

  CONTRIBUTED LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENT AND UNREALIZED GAINS

Operadora de Estaciones de Servicios S.A. (O.P.E.S.S.A.) made leasehold improvements on the property of Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A., which were capitalized as fixed assets., recognizing the related gain over the term of the contract. At period end, the amount of Ps. 191 was pending of accrual.

In March 1996 Village Cinema S.A. opened ten theatres with the multiplex cinema system, with an approximate surface of 4,100 sq. m. This improvement of a building of Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A., was capitalized as a fixed asset, with a balancing entry as unrealized gains and unrealized improvements made by third parties, recognizing the depreciation charges and the profits over a 50-year period. At period end, the amount of Ps. 10,569 was pending of accrual. The lease agreement is for a period of 10 years, renewable for 4 consecutive equal periods, at the option of Village Cinema S.A.

Also, gains to be accrued related to the construction of installations made by APSA by a lessee in the Abasto Shopping Center area, are included. APSA has recorded such installations as fixed assets based on the construction costs with the liability. Improvements are depreciated in net income accounts during the term of the rental. Such net depreciation of the improvement by third parties was not significant during the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

On February 2, 1999 Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A. entered into a contract with Riocruz S.C.S. (C & A Shop), granting the latter a mutual right of way in perpetuity, for valuable consideration for the first ten years and subsequently free of charge. The price agreed for this easement is US$ 2,926 which was accrued over the amortization period of the property, as from April 1999, date on which it was registered with the Real Estate Record Office.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

 

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

and ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

In thousand of pesos (Note 1)

 

NOTE 1:   ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
  Below are the most relevant accounting standards used by the Company to prepare these unaudited financial statements:
 

1.1.  Preparation and presentation of unaudited financial statements

  These unaudited financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos and were prepared in accordance with disclosure and valuation criteria contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, approved with certain amendments by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, in accordance with the resolutions issued by the National Securities Commission.
  The financial statements corresponding to the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 have not been audited. The Company´s management believes they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably show the results of each period.
  Income statement for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 do not necessarily reflect the portion of the Company´s results for such complete years.
  Unification of professional accounting standards
  The National Securities Commission has issued General Resolutions 485 and 487 on December 29, 2005 and January 26, 2006, respectively.
  Such resolutions have adopted, with certain modifications, the new accounting standards recently issued by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aries through its Resolution CD 93/2005. These standards are to the obligatorily applied for fiscal years or interim periods corresponding to fiscal years started as from January 1, 2006.
  The principal change that the application of these new standards has generated relates to the treatment of the adjustment for inflation in calculating the deferred tax which can be taken as a temporary difference, according to the Company’s criteria. At present the adjustment for inflation is considered as a permanent difference in the deferred income tax calculation. The Company in accordance with the new accounting standards has decided not to recognize the deferred liability generated by the effect of the adjustment for inflation on the fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. The estimated effect as of March 31, 2007 that the adoption of the new criteria would have generated would be a decrease in shareholders’ equity of approximately Ps. 193.9 millions, which should be recorded in the income

NOTE 1:

  (Continued)

 

statement accounts of previous years for Ps. 188.4 million (loss) and in the income statement accounts of the period for Ps. 5.5 million (loss).

In accordance with the Company’s management the potential effect that the new accounting standards would have in its subsidiary Banco Hipotecario S.A. would not be significant on the amount of the Company’s investment.

The above-mentioned liability would probably turn to the previous position according to the detail that follows:

 

Item

   Up to 12
months
   From 1 to 2
years
   From 2 to 3
years
   Over 3
years
   Total

Amount in millions

   3.7    7.9    7.8    174.5    193.9

 

  1.2. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management, at a specific date, to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Company’s Management makes estimates for example when accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies. Future actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions made at the date of these unaudited financial statements.

 

  1.3. Recognition of the effects of inflation

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in constant currency, reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. From that date and until December 31, 2001 the Company discontinued the restatement of the financial statements due to a period of monetary stability. From January 1, 2002 up to February 28, 2003 the effects of inflation were recognized due to the existence of an inflationary period. As from that date, the restatement of the financial statements was discontinued.

This criterion is not in line with current professional accounting standards, which establish that the financial statements should have been restated through September 30, 2003. However, due to the low level of inflation rates during the period from March to September 2003, this deviation has not had a material effect on the unaudited financial statements taken as a whole.

The rate used for restatement of items in these unaudited financial statements is the domestic wholesale price index published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.

  1.4. Comparative information

Balances items at June 30, 2006 shown in these unaudited financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.

The balances at March 31, 2007 of the unaudited Statements of Income, Changes in Shareholders´ Equity and Cash Flows are disclosed in comparative format with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

  1.5. Valuation criteria

 

  a. Cash and banks

Cash on hand has been valued at face value.

 

  b. Foreign currency assets and liabilities

Foreign currency assets and liabilities were valued at each period-end exchange rates. Operations denominated in foreign currency are converted into pesos at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of settlement of the operation.

 

  c. Current investments

Current investments in debt securities and mutual funds were valued at their net realization value.

 

  d. Mortgages and lease receivables and trade accounts payable

Mortgages and lease receivables and trade accounts payable have been valued at the price applicable to spot operations at the time of the transaction plus interest and implicit financial components accrued at the internal rate of return determined at that moment.

 

  e. Financial receivables and liabilities

Financial receivables and payables have been valued at the amount deposited and collected, respectively, net of operating costs, plus financial results accrued based on the internal rate of return estimated at that time.

 

  f. Other receivables and payables

Sundry current assets and liabilities have been valued at face value plus the financial results accrued at the closing of the corresponding period.

Sundry receivables and payables (asset tax, deposits in guarantee, and accounts receivable in trust) disclosed under other current and other non-current receivables and payables, were valued based on the best estimate

of the amount receivable and payable, respectively, discounted at the interest rate applicable to freely available savings accounts published by the Argentine Central Bank in effect at the time of incorporation to assets and liabilities, respectively.

As established by the regulations of the National Securities Commission, deferred tax assets and liabilities have not been discounted.

Liabilities in kind:

Liabilities in kind corresponding to obligations to deliver units to be built are value at the higher of amounts received or the estimated cost of building of the units plus additional costs to transfer the assets to the creditor.

 

  g. Balances corresponding to financial transactions and sundry receivables and payables with related parties

Receivables and payables with related parties generated by financial transactions and other sundry transactions were valued in accordance with the terms agreed by the parties.

 

  h. Inventories

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

Properties classified as inventories have been valued at acquisition or construction cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. The Company maintains allowances for impairment of certain inventories for those ones which market value is lower than cost (See Exhibit E). Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs, construction overhead costs, interest on indebtedness and real estate taxes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 interest costs of the property called “San Martín de Tours” were capitalized for Ps. 222. During the nine- month period ended March 31, 2007 there were no items charged to assets.

NOTE 1:

1.5. (Continued)

 

  h. (Continued)

 

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 its fair market value. Profits arising from such valuation are shown in the “Gain from valuation of inventories at fair market value” caption of the unaudited Statement 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.

Credits in kind:

The Company has credits in kinds related to rights on the reception of certain units.

The units relating to the buildings called “Terreno Caballito”, and “Dique III” have been valued according to the accounting measuring standards corresponding to inventories receivable and there have been disclosed under “Inventories”.

 

  i. Non-current investments

 

   

Investments in debt securities:

Investments in debt securities were valued based on the best estimate of the discounted amount receivable applying the corresponding internal rate of return estimated at the time of incorporation to assets, as the Company will hold them to maturity. The value thus obtained does not exceed the respective estimated recoverable value at the end of the period.

 

   

Investments in subsidiaries and related companies:

Current investments in subsidiaries and related companies detailed in Exhibit C, have been valued by using the equity method of accounting based on the financial statements at March 31, 2007 issued by them. The accounting standards used by the subsidiaries to prepare their financial statements are the same as those used by the Company. The accounting standards used by the related companies to prepare their financial statements are those currently in effect.

This item also includes the lower or higher value paid for the purchase of shares in subsidiaries and related companies assignable to the assets acquired, and goodwill related to the subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A., Palermo Invest S.A. and the related company, Banco Hipotecario S.A.

The Company has an important investment in Banco Hipotecario S.A. This investment is valued according to the equity method due to the significant influence of the economic group on the decisions of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and to the intention of keeping said investment on a permanent basis.

In accordance with the regulations of the BCRA and the contracts signed as a result of Banco Hipotecario S.A.’s financial debt restructuring process, there are certain restrictions on the distribution of profits by Banco Hipotecario S.A. to the Company.

 

   

Certificates of participation in IRSA I financial trust:

The certificates of participation in IRSA I financial trust have been valued at the amount resulting from apportioning the participation certificate holding to the trust assets.

 

   

Undeveloped parcels of lands:

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

Land held for development and sale and improvements are stated at cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.3. or market value, whichever is lower. The Company maintains allowances for impairment of certain parcels of undeveloped land for which their market value is lower than cost. (See Exhibit E).

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

The values thus obtained, net of the allowances recorded, do not exceed their respective estimated recoverable values at the end of period.

 

  j. Fixed assets

Fixed assets comprise primarily of rental properties and other property and equipment held for use by the Company.

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

 

   

Rental properties

Rental properties are carried at acquisition and/or construction cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment at the end of the period. The Company capitalizes accrued interest costs associated with long-term construction projects. However, during the period ended March 31, 2007 and in fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 no interest costs were capitalized, as the Company considered that there are no works in progress.

Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 50 years for buildings. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to results in the period incurred.

The Company has allowances for impairment of certain rental properties as disclosed in Exhibit A. Increases and decreases of such allowances are disclosed in Exhibit E.

Significant renovations 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 unaudited statement of income.

 

   

Software

The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with the development of computer software for internal use. Such costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis since its implementation.

Other properties and equipment

Other properties and equipment properties are carried at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation at the end of the period. Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as specified below:

 

Asset

   Estimated useful life (years)

Leasehold improvements

   On contract basis

Furniture and fixtures

   5

Machinery, equipment and computer equipment

   3

Vehicles

   5

The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred.

The cost of significant renewals and improvements are added to the carrying amount of the respective assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

 

  k. Deferred financing cost

Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of negotiable obligations and proceeds of loans are amortized over the life of the related issuances. In the case of redemption of these notes, the related expenses are amortized using the accelerated depreciation method.

Amortization has been recorded under “Financial results, net” in the unaudited statements of income as a greater financing expense.

 

  l. Customer advances

Customer advances represent payments received in advance in connection with the sale and rent of properties.

 

  m. Income tax

The Company has recognized the charge for income tax by the deferred tax liability method, recognizing timing differences between measurements of accounting and tax assets and liabilities (see Note 14).

To determine deferred assets and liabilities, the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of reversal or use has been applied to timing differences identified and tax loss carry forwards, considering the legal regulations approved at the date of issuance of these unaudited financial statements.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1:

  (Continued)

 

1.5. (Continued)

 

  m. (Continued)

 

Since it is unlikely that future taxable income will fully absorb tax loss carry forwards, the Company has recorded an impairment on a portion of that credit.

 

  n. Asset tax

The Company calculates asset tax by applying the current 1% rate on computable assets at the end of the year. This tax complements income tax. The Company’s tax obligation in each period will coincide with the higher of the two taxes. However, if asset tax exceeds income tax in a given period, that amount in excess will be computable as payment on account of income tax arising in any of the following ten years.

At March 31, 2007, the Company has estimated the asset tax, recognizing under “Other receivables” the amount estimated to be offset as payment on account of income tax in future years in accordance with current regulations, and expensing the remaining balance.

 

  o. Allowances and Provisions

Allowance for doubtful accounts: the Company provides for losses relating to mortgages, lease and other accounts receivable. The allowance for losses is recognized when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the agreements. The allowance is determined on a one-by-one basis considering the present value of expected future cash flows. While management uses the information available to make assessments, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the assessments. Management has considered all events and/or transactions that are subject to reasonable and normal methods of estimations, and the unaudited financial statements reflect that consideration.

For impairment of assets: the Company regularly asses its non-current assets for recoverability whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable value.

In such cases, for rental properties, the Company first makes a comparison between the asset carrying amount and its undiscounted value in use. If, as a result of that comparison, the carrying amount of an asset

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1:

  o. (Continued)

 

exceeds its value in use, in order to measure the loss impairment, a second comparison is made with the higher of discounted value in use and market value (recoverable value). Value in use is determined based on estimated future cash flows. For the rest of the assets (inventories and undeveloped parcels of land) the Company 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, the Company will record the corresponding reversals of impairment loss as required by accounting standards.

Increases and decreases of allowances for impairment of assets during the period ended March 31, 2007 and during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 are detailed in Exhibit E.

For lawsuits: the Company has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor and other matters. The Company 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, the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of these matters and the Company’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 a effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

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

 

  p. Shareholders’ equity accounts

Amounts of shareholders’ equity accounts have been restated following the guidelines detailed in Note 1.3. until February 28, 2003. Subsequent movements are stated in the currency of the month to which they correspond.

  q. Results for the period

The results for the period are shown as follows:

Amounts included in unaudited Income Statement are shown in currency of the month to which they correspond.

Charges for assets consumed (fixed asset depreciation, intangible asset amortization and cost of sales) were determined based on the values recorded for such assets.

Results from investments in subsidiary and affiliated companies was calculated under the equity method, by applying the percentage of the Company’s equity interest to the results of such companies, with the adjustments for application of Technical Resolution 21.

 

  r. Advertising expenses

The Company generally charges the advertising and publicity expenses to results when they are incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses were approximately Ps. 780 and Ps. 231 for periods March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

  s. Pension information

The Company does not maintain any pension plans. Argentine laws provide for pension benefits to be paid to retired employees from government pension plans and/or privately managed funds plan to which employees may elect to contribute.

 

  t. Derivative financial instruments

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge the risks of fluctuation in interest rates related to its financial debt which accrues interest at variable rate. See Note 16 for details.

 

  u. Revenue recognition

u.1. Sales of properties

The Company 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; and

 

   

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 commence revenue and cost recognition until such time as the decision to proceed with the project is made and construction activities have begun. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the 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.

 

  u.2. Leases

Revenues from leases are recognized on a straight –line basis over the life of the related lease contracts.

 

  v. Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers, for cash flow purposes, all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, consisting primarily of mutual funds, as cash equivalents.

 

  w. Monetary assets and liabilities

Monetary assets and liabilities are stated at their face value plus or minus the related financial gain or loss.

 

  x. Vacation expenses

Vacation expenses are fully accrued in the period in which the employee renders services in order to be able to take such vacation.

(1) Corresponds to an unsecured loan for a total amount of US$ 51 million, which falls due on November 20, 2009, with the principal being amortized in 20 quarterly installments with a two-year grace period. US$ 35 million of the principal accrue interest at the LIBO rate over three months plus 200 basis points, and US$ 16 million accrue interest at a fixed rate that is progressively increased. On July 25, 2003 the Company redeemed the mentioned US$ 16 million for US$ 10.9 million. In addition, on March 17, 2004, the Company redeemed US$ 12 million for a total amount of US$ 8.6 million. Additionally, the Company settled nine installments amounting to US$ 5.7 million. Therefore, at March 31, 2007 the balance of principal amounts to US$ 14.5 million which matches the US$ 17.2 million discounted considering a market rate equivalent to 8% per year.

The terms of the loan require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and conditions, specific debt/equity ratios, moreover, they also restrict certain investments, the making of payments, the procurement of new loans and the sale of certain assets and other capital investments.

At this date, the Company has settled nine installments amounting to US$ 9.3 million. Consequently, at March 31, 2007 the Company recorded a total balance of US$ 23.6 million, which corresponds to US$ 28 million discounted at a market rate equivalent to 8% per year.

The terms of the loan require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and conditions, specific debt/equity ratios; they also restrict certain investments, the making of payments, the procurement of new loans and the sale of certain assets and other capital investments.

(3) According to Note 13, these relate to convertible negotiable obligations (CNB) issued for a total amount of US$ 100 million, which at period end amounted to US$ 23.6 million, net of issue expenses amounting to Ps. 0.08 million. Part of convertible negotiable obligations are held by shareholders and related parties. (See Note 10).
(4) Corresponds to the Negotiable Obligations described in Note 25, in the amount of US$ 150 million that become due on February 2, 2017, accruing interest on a six-month basis at a fixed rate of 8.5% a year, net of issuance expenses in the amount of $8.7 million.

NOTE 13:   NEGOTIABLE OBLIGATIONS CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON SHARES

On March 8, 2002, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders resolved:

 

  a) Approving the issuance of Negotiable Obligations Convertible into Common Shares of the company (“CNO”) for up to a face value of US$ 100,000 (one hundred million dollars), for a term of 5 (five) years, at a fixed interest rate of 6% to 12% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears.

 

  b) Approving a subscription option for the CNO holders to subscribe common shares of the company at 1 (one) share per Ps.1 (one peso) of CNO face value, paying in cash Ps.1 (pesos one) as subscription price, during 15 days after the conversion term has expired, including the corresponding capital increase.

 

  c) Suppressing the preferential subscription and accretion rights, or reducing the term to exercise the preference, as provided by section 12 of the Negotiable Obligations Law and other applicable regulations.

 

  d) Amending Article nine (9) of the bylaws to partially adapt its contents to the market circumstances arising from the amendment approved, by replacing 1) the 20% percentage referred to in the amendment to the bylaws, by the percentage indicated in Decree 677/01, i.e., 35%; and 2) eliminating the negotiable obligations or other convertible debt securities, as well as the warrants, from the calculation mentioned in Article nine (9) of the Bylaws.

The public offering and listing of the above-mentioned negotiable obligations was approved by Resolution No. 14,316 of the National Securities Commission dated September 24, 2002 and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, authorizing the issuance for up to US$100,000 of securities consisting of negotiable obligations convertible into common shares, bearing interest at an annual rate of 8% and falling due in 2007 and which, at the time of their conversion, provide the right to options to subscribe 100,000,000 common shares (warrants).

As a result of the distribution of 4,587,285 treasury stock, the Company has adjusted the conversion price of its Convertible Negotiable Obligations and the exercise price of the warrants in accordance with the terms of the issue. Thus, the conversion price of the Negotiable Obligations fell from US$ 0.5571 to US$ 0.54505 and the exercise price of the warrants dropped from US$ 0.6686 to US$0.6541. Said adjustment came into force as from December 20, 2002.

  ADCQUISITION OF THE DOCK DEL PLATA BUILDING

On June 2, 2005 a contract called “Credit Default Swap” was entered into with Credit Suisse International (“CSI”, formerly Credit Suisse First Boston) by which the Company is committed to acquire in specific circumstances for US$ 10.0 million, a loan with a mortgage guarantee on an office building in the Buenos Aires City. This loan has a nominal value of US$ 12,812, such entity being the creditor. To guarantee the fulfillment of said contract, the Company transferred as guaranty the amount of US$ 4.0 million.

This contract was rescinded on November 15, 2006 and the Company received from CSI the amount of US$ 4.0 million, which had been previously transferred as guarantee for such transaction. The Company recorded this amount to the partial payment of the purchase price that, added to the transference of US$ 4.8 million, completed the total price of US$ 8.8 million paid for the purchase of the office building covering 8,900 square meters of surface area called “Dock del Plata” in Puerto Madero, City of Buenos Aires. The title deed was signed on the same day. Through the payment of these amounts the mortgage on these units became extinguished and the Company acquired them free of mortgage.

 

NOTE 16:

  SWAP OF INTEREST RATES WITH DEUTSCHE BANK AG

The Company agreed with the Deutsche Bank AG on June 16, 2005 two LIBO rate swap arrangements aiming at covering the risk of increased interest rates that the Company must pay on the unsecured loan and the non-convertible secured negotiable obligations (both to be due in November 2009, which at June 30, 2005 had a capital balance of US$ 21,850 and US$ 35,511 respectively, and which accrue a variable interest rate equivalent to the three month LIBO rate added 200 basic points).

By means of both contracts, the Company was compromised to pay every three months to the Deutsche Bank AG cash flows calculated on the basis of a fixed rate of 4.27% on the balances of each debt. In turn, the Company received quarterly payments calculated on the basis of the three-month LIBO rate on balances established at the beginning of each quarter.

The purpose of such swap arrangements was to fully cover the risk of interest rates of the above-mentioned debts. The amortization scheme, the dates for payment of interest and principal, the dates for determining interest rates, the referential index for calculating interests and the calculation basis for the interest agreed in both swap contracts totally coincided with the issuance conditions of each one of the mentioned liabilities.

On October 24, 2005 the Company fully cancelled in advance both swap arrangements. Due to the increase shown by the temporary structure of the interest rates, a gain of US$ 402 was obtained for such cancellations.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

(As of March 31, 2007)

Having shown robust growth for yet another year, the year-on-year GDP variation in the Argentine economy at the end of the first quarter of calendar 2007 was 8.2%, which evidences that the economy is posed for its fifth year in a row of growth in excess of 8% and the accumulated variation for the period stands at 48.7%.

The performance shown by public finances continued to be favorable during the first quarter of calendar 2007. Although public revenues increased by 35.7% year-on-year and public expenditures increased by 43.6%, the margin in the primary result of public accounts was 3.6% of GDP. Additionally, debt services increased by 46.8%. As a result of this situation, surplus for the first quarter of calendar 2007 was 0.6%. This budget improvement in the public sector compared to the 2.0% financial deficit in GDP during the 2002 crisis sets the stage for a conservative profile in debt amortizations for the coming years.

Once again monetary policy was focused on promoting aggregate demand through low interest rates and increased monetary aggregates which in turn also translated into a higher accumulation of reserves by the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA). The reserves held by the Central Bank as of March 31, 2007 amounted to US$ 36,849 million.

As regards external accounts, during the first quarter of calendar 2007 Argentina posted a trade balance surplus in the amount of USD 1,817 million. The components of this surplus are an increase in exports from USD 9,872 million for the first quarter of calendar 2006 to USD 10,976 million for the first quarter of calendar 2007, i.e., an 11.2% positive variation and an increase in imports from USD 7,371 million for the first quarter of calendar 2006 to USD 9,159 million for the first quarter of calendar 2007 which translated into a positive 24.3% variation.

Total consumption is the largest portion of the growth in GDP as it contributed 77% to the performance of this indicator for the first quarter of calendar 2007. Total consumption accumulated a 35% increase for the four-year period following the 2002 crisis and shows record highs. Within private consumption, one of the main drivers of this growth figure have been sales at Shopping Centers which grew by 15.1% year-on-year when measured at current prices adjusted for seasonality, and when measured on an accumulated basis, growth for the last four calendar years and the first quarter of calendar 2007 has been 102.4%. To a large extent this is due to improved access for the middle-low income segments of population to shopping centers and to loans, as well as to a significant increase in the number of foreign tourists.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) prepared by INDEC showed as of March 31, 2007 an accumulated year-on-year variation of 9.1%. Worth emphasizing in this respect are the 13.4% increase in Apparel and the 11.3% in Education prices. In spite of signs of a slow-down in this index according to government-endorsed data, economic pundits continue to regard inflation as one of the main challenges for the government in the coming years as government endeavors to control price levels are starting to give rise to increasing distortions.

Construction continues to be one of the main contributors to growth, as it stands for 60% of total investment for the first quarter of calendar 2007 and explains 58% of the accumulated increase in investments for the last four calendar years. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, the summary indicator of construction activities (ISAC in Spanish) prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC)1 showed an accumulated increase for the first quarter of calendar 2007 of 3.6%.

 

107


Shopping center sales rose by 24.1% compared to February 2007. This points to a 12.4% accumulated annual variation for the first quarter of calendar 2007.

Given this macroeconomic context, income increased by 36.9%, from Ps.381.3 million as of March 31, 2006 to Ps.521.9 million as of March 31, 2007, explained by the following increases (i) Ps.42.7 million in the Shopping Centers segment, (ii) Ps. 59.6 million in the Credit Card segment, (iii) Ps.7.2 million in the Sales and Developments segment, (iv) Ps.14.7 million in the Hotels segment, (v) Ps.16.4 million in the Offices and Other Rental Properties segment and (vi) Ps.0.1 million in Financial Operations and Others segment.

Our operating income improved significantly and as of March 31, 2007 it stood at Ps.159.8 million compared to Ps.122.3 million as of March 31, 2006, i.e., a 30.7% increase. When measured against total revenues, operating income is 30.6% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 whilst in the same period of the previous year it had been 32.1%.

In addition, net income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 amounted to Ps.113.9 million income, compared to Ps.40.9 million income in the same period of fiscal 2006. The 178.3% increase in net income compared to the same period of the previous year is undoubtedly outstanding, and was driven by the improvement in both operating income and financial results.

Financial results have posted a Ps.23.6 million gain compared to a Ps.42.7 million loss as of March 31, 2006. The reason for this difference is mainly the increase in the financial operations result, which rose from Ps.9.8 million income for nine-month period ended on March 31, 2006 to Ps.54.2 million income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007. Furthermore, the exchange difference losses fell from a Ps.17.8 million loss in the first nine-month period of fiscal 2006 to a Ps.2.1 million loss for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007.

Finally, the results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 were driven to a lesser extent by the gain generated by our related companies, which fell from a Ps.37.2 million gain as of March 31, 2006 to a Ps.25.4 million gain for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007. This decrease is mainly attributable to lower results generated by our related company Banco Hipotecario S.A. which were Ps.26.6 million as of March 31, 2007 compared to Ps.38.0 million as of March 31, 2006.

Highlights for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, including references to relevant events subsequent to March 31, 2007.

I. Offices and Other Rental Properties

During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, income from rental properties totaled Ps.37.9 million, i.e., a Ps.16.4 million increase compared to the Ps.21.5 million income for the same period of fiscal 2006.

Occupancy levels of our office buildings continued to recover significantly, reaching 98.9% during the first nine months of fiscal 2007, compared to 92% for the first nine months of the previous fiscal year.

 

108


The sustained increase in demand for rental space and the scarce supply of new spaces gave rise to a recovery in the price of the square meter for rentals of premium office space, which presently ranges from US$/sqm. 30 to US$/sqm. 35, quite close to the prices prevailing prior to the Argentine economic crisis in 2001. Foreign capital companies have demanded greater space in our properties, in line with the market trends that reflect the renewed interest of foreign capital companies in establishing offices and branches in Argentina or in expanding their activities in Argentina in the light of the opportunities offered by the country. Among the benefits provided by the city of Buenos Aires, the following should be highlighted: the significant training and professionalism of the local work force, the higher security offered by our city as compared to other Latin American cities, the similarity of the time zones as compared to the main U.S. cities, and the comparative advantages as regards operation costs.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2007 we executed the deed on the acquisition of Edificio Bouchard Plaza:

Execution of Title Deed to Bouchard Plaza Building. On December 28, 2006 Irsa Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima as Agent made an offer to Banco Rio de la Plata S.A., acting as trustee of the “Fideicomiso Financiero Edificio La Nación”, to purchase the Bouchard Plaza Building which represents the main asset of the above-mentioned trust. The offer was to acquire the building as agent and become the assignee of any lease contract in force at the time of the purchase, for any and all parts of the building. Also on December 28, 2006 we were informed that our offer had been accepted. The price we bid was US$ 84.1 million and at the time of submission of our bid we paid US$ 15.0 million. On March 15, 2007 the title deed was executed and the balance outstanding of the purchase price of US$ 69.1 million was cancelled. This property, also called “Edificio Bouchard” or “Edificio La Nación”, is a 20-storey high AAA-office building located in downtown Buenos Aires with 33,324 sqm. in gross rental area.

The brand-new acquisitions conducted during fiscal 2007 have increased our portfolio by more than 70% for the office rental area at the A and AAA level and therefore the Company’s market share in this segment now stands at 20%.

Below is detailed information on our office space as of March 31, 2007.

II. Shopping Centers - Alto Palermo S.A (“APSA”).

The following information relates to data extracted from the balance sheet of our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), our shopping center operator in which we had a 62.36% interest as of March 31, 2007.

 

110


Net income for the nine-month period was Ps. 53.3 million, compared to Ps. 32.5 million income in the same period of the previous year. In terms of percentages, this improvement stands for a 63.6% increase.

Total revenues as of March 31, 2007, amounted to Ps. 347.8 million, i.e., 29.5% higher than the total revenues recorded in the same period of the previous year. This increase is mainly due to the excellent situation currently experienced by our shopping centers and to a 66.2% increase in the income generated by our subsidiary Tarshop S.A.

Gross profit for the period showed a major 40.8% increase from Ps. 164.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 to Ps. 231.8 million in the same period for fiscal year 2007. Thus, consolidated operating income for the period amounted to income for Ps. 126.0 million compared to Ps. 105.7 million obtained in the same period of the previous year, which stands for a 19.2%.

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 the Company continued to strengthen the efforts it has been making since the Argentine economic crisis and posted outstanding results in comparison to the same period of the previous fiscal year. Principally, it is the increase in operating income that deserves special mention as it reflects the success attained by the Company’s genuine business hand in hand with growth in sales and consumption.

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 our tenants continued to see an increase in sales, which amounted to Ps. 2,031.8 million. In nominal terms, these are 22.8% higher than the sales recorded for the same period of the previous year.

The business success of our tenants continues to increase demand for space at our shopping centers. In this way, we managed to maintain occupancy at our shopping centers at 98.7%. The evolution of this variable shows not only an improvement in our business but also the excellent quality of our portfolio of shopping centers.

Tarjeta Shopping

Tarshop S.A. is a credit card company in which our subsidiary APSA holds an 80% interest.

The favorable context and the successful performance showed by our credit card business unit were the reason why profit for the nine-month period of fiscal 2007 amounted to Ps. 13.4 million, i.e., a 22.22% increase compared to the Ps. 10.8 million profit obtained for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Net revenues showed a significant 62.1% increase, from Ps 58.4 million during the nine-month period of fiscal 2006 to Ps. 94.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. In addition, operating income increased by 32.9% to Ps. 27.5 million.

The credit portfolio including securitized coupons as of March 31, 2007 amounted to Ps. 633.1 million, 89.2% higher than the Ps. 334.7 million portfolio as of March 31, 2006.

In addition, as regards collections, short-term delinquency as of March 31, 2007 was 3.8%.

III. Sales and Developments

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, the sales and developments segment showed revenues for Ps. 40.0 million, compared to Ps.32.8 million in revenues for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Below a description of the Company’s main developments:

Barrio Chico (formerly San Martín de Tours). This is a unique project in Barrio Parque, the most exclusive residential area in the city of Buenos Aires. Sales in this project were launched in May last year, with a high degree of success. Previously, efforts were made to develop the image of the product, choosing the name “Barrio Chico”, accompanied by advertising in the most important printed media. As of March 31, 2007 the project has been finished and three units are pending sale.

Cruceros, Dique II. This is a unique project in Puerto Madero area consisting in an apartment building with a surface area of 6,400 sqm. of which 3,633 sqm. are owned by the Company. Works are fully completed. As of March 31, 2007, five units are pending sale.

Torres Renoir, Dique III. In view of the steady increase in the demand for residential properties in the area of Puerto Madero, during fiscal year 2006 we closed swap agreements that allowed us to start the construction of these two exclusive residential buildings of 37 and 40 floors. Given the development boom in this area, the project has aroused great expectations in the market thanks to its outstanding features. On September 30, 2006, in view of the market’s interest in this project, sales were launched in Tower 1. The degree of progress at these works is 74%, and during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 bills of sale were entered into for 39% of the units available. As regards Tower 2, the project plans were filed with the Municipality.

Caballito. On May 4, 2006 we entered into a US$7.5 million swap agreement with Koad S.A. (Koad) whereby we transferred title of block 36 of the property “Terrenos de Caballito” to Koad in order for it to develop at its sole expense, cost and liability, a residential complex known as “Cabalito Nuevo”. In consideration for it, Koad paid to us US$ 0.05 million while the US$7.45 million balance will be repaid through the delivery of 118 apartment units and 55 parking spaces. The final number of units to be received will depend on the date of actual delivery by Koad, as the agreement provides for rewards for prompt delivery.

Besides, Koad created a US$7.45 million mortgage on the property as security for the transaction and took two performance bonds for US$2.0 million and US$0.5 million.

Benavidez, Tigre. Benavidez is an undeveloped 99.8 hectare plot located in the area of Tigre, 35 kilometers north from downtown Buenos Aires. In this property the gated residential complex “El Encuentro” is being developed. It will have a privileged front access to Highway No. 9, allowing an easy way to and from the city. Given the rise in the values of land in the Northern area of the Province of Buenos Aires, particularly in the area in which the development is located, our expectations regarding the sales of the lots to be received pursuant to the swap agreement are highly positive. The launch of sales of our units is planned for late fiscal 2007.

Canteras Natal Crespo, Provincia de Córdoba. During the last semester, 34,710 shares of the company Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. were acquired for an aggregate price of Ps.1.83 million. Therefore, our Company holds a 55.93% interest in said company. En April 27, 2007, the Company sold to ECIPSA 5.93% of the shares for a total agreed price of US$0.3 million, therefore reducing the Company’s interest in Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. to 50%. Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. is a company domiciled in the province of Córdoba, whose main corporate purpose shall be the urbanization of own or third-party lands, gated communities, lots for sale or lease, development of quarries, real estate transactions and construction of housing units.

The preliminary guidelines for the development of the project have already been laid down. With the engagement of the Chilean architecture firm URBE a Master Plan has been developed. The preliminary filings with the Municipality of La Calera and with the Provincial Regulatory Entity have already been made. The uniqueness of this undertaking shall rest upon an attractive and varied offer of residential plots, areas of low and medium density housing, as well as commercial and social areas. Each of the neighborhoods will have full-service infrastructure. The project will stand out for being embedded in the unique hillside setting of Sierras Chicas, in the Province of Córdoba.

Vicente Lopez Residential Project. On April 6, 2006, we entered into an agreement, as agent, in connection with the purchase of all the shares of Rummaala S.A., whose main asset is a plot with a net area of 13,651 sqm. located in Vicente Lopez, Province of Buenos Aires, and another agreement with Verdier S.A. in connection with the acquisition of plot of land with a net area of 8,412 sqm. adjacent to Rummaala’s plot. The closing of both transactions was subject to, among other conditions

 

113


precedent, the approval of the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (Federal Trade Commission), which was granted on December 27, 2006. On January 16, 2007, the company appointed one of its subsidiaries, Patagonian Investment S.A., as principal to acquire 90% of Rummaala S.A., and Ritelco, to acquire the remaining 10%; furthermore, Rummaala S.A. was appointed as principal to acquire the Verdier S.A.’s plot. For Patagonian Investment S.A. to be able to proceed with the purchase of Rummaala S.A. and of the real property bought from Verdier S.A. we granted a loan to Patagonian Investment S.A., which loan has been offset, plus interest and taxes, with the delivery to us of the whole shareholding in Rummaala held by Patagonian Investment S.A. On March 16, 2007, we acquired from Ritelco S.A. the whole shareholding it had in Rummaala S.A. As a result of all the transactions above described, as of March 31, 2007 we hold 100% of Rummaala S.A.’s capital stock.

In both real properties, already unified, we plan to develop a new concept of residential complex, which will allow for the expansion of the public spaces. Such project shall be one of the most significant residential developments in the Province of Buenos Aires.

Dique IV. This is a 18,370 sqm. plot located in Puerto Madero area, on which an 8-floor class A+ office building will be built. Works will commence during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. In the light of the development boom in Puerto Madero area, we expect this project will be successful.

El Rancho, San Carlos de Bariloche. On December 14, 2006, we acquired through our hotel operator subsidiary Llao Llao Resorts S.A., a 129,533 sqm. plot located in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, in the Province of Rio Negro. The total price for the operation amounted to US$7.0 million, of which US$4.2 million were paid in cash and the balance of US$2.8 million was financed through a mortgage payable in 36 equal, consecutive and monthly installments of US$0.086 million each. The plot is located in the shore of Gutiérrez Lake, in an unequalled natural frame, and has a 1,000 sqm. chalet designed by architect Ezequiel Bustillo.

Below is a detail of the properties being developed by IRSA as of March 31, 2007.

IV. Hotels

Income from the hotels segment showed an outstanding rise from Ps.79.7 million for the first nine-month period of fiscal 2006 to Ps.94.4 million for the same period this year.

A major factor contributing to the above result has been the increase in the average price of hotel rooms. During the first nine months of fiscal 2007 prices have shown favorable performance and in the period under study the average price per room has been Ps.481 compared to Ps.379 for the previous period.

The outstanding increase in hotel activities has encouraged us to step up investments in this segment. Proof of this is the construction of 42 suites at Hotel Llao Llao aimed at enhancing current capacity. In addition, the increased number of guests that the hotel will host once the new rooms are ready has also led to improvements in the hotel’s service infrastructure. These enhancements and improvements shall not only raise the occupancy rate but also the average price charged by the hotel. As of March 31, 2007, the degree of progress of these works was 65%.

Issuance of Notes. In the framework of the Global Program for the issuance of Notes approved by the General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on October 31, 2006, on February 2, 2007 we issued Series 1 Notes for US$ 150 million at an annual 8.5% interest rate (payable on a half-yearly basis) and maturing on February 2, 2017. The issuance price was 100% of nominal value and at the cut-off rate bids were received for up to US$ 529 million (3.5 times the amount offered) as proof of the strong support by the investor community to the Company’s business plan.

Series 1 Notes for up to US$150 million have been rated A-(arg), at local level, and B, at international level, by Fitch Argentina Calificadora de Riesgo S.A. In addition, the Series 1 Notes have been rated B+, at international level, and raA+, at local level, by Standard & Poor’s.

These ratings are based on the strong competitive position of the Company, consolidating as a real estate market leader in Argentina. Besides, the Company has moderate levels of consolidated indebtedness as compared to its sound asset base which is reflected in the quality and excellent location of its property portfolio. Finally, both rating companies consider that the proceeds derived from the issue of Notes shall be allocated to the financing of investment opportunities which shall provide significant income for the Company, due to the positive evolution evidenced by the different businesses in which the Company takes part and to the favorable medium-term outlook for the real estate sector.

VI. Brief comment on prospects for the next quarter

The Company has embarked in a strong investment plan tending to increase future cash flow in all its business lines adding constant value for its shareholders.

Based on the favorable prospects offered by the real estate market, the expansion of the office business mainly through the acquisition of Dock del Plata as well as through the transactions related to Edificio República, Edificio Bouchard Plaza, and Edificio Intercontinental Plaza, should be highlighted. Such acquisitions will imply an increase of more than 70% in the AAA office rental area, and thus the Company’s market share in this segment will be 20%.

 

119


The success attained in the placement of the two series of notes shall help to consolidate our dominant position in the Shopping Center segment. As part of this strategy, the following properties were added to our asset portfolio: Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera, a shopping center development in the province of Neuquén and the Shopping General Paz development. The latter will occupy a strategic location in the City of Buenos Aires and it will be the biggest shopping center to be developed by the Company, bigger even than Abasto Shopping which is presently the Company’s biggest shopping center. In addition, in order to continuously improve our portfolio, we are working on refurbishments that will change the image of most of our shopping centers.

Based on the hotel activity development, which showed a significant growth during calendar year 2006, and the spectacular tourist potential offered by Argentina, we continue to harbor very favorable expectations in connection with this business sector.

Finally, and as a result of the renewed strategy adopted by the Company, we are analyzing several projects to be carried out in our land reserves taking advantage of any opportunity that might arise, as well as the incorporation of new plots at attractive prices adding value to our portfolio.
