Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in millions, except otherwise indicated)
Free translation from the original prepared in Spanish for publication in Argentina
 
1.
The Group’s business and general information
 
These Financial Statements have been approved for issuance by the Board of Directors, on February 28, 2019.
 
IRSA was founded in 1943, and it is engaged in a diversified range of real estate activities in Argentina since 1991. IRSA and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as “the Group”. Cresud is our direct parent company and IFIS Limited is our ultimate parent company.
 
The Group has established two Operations Centers, Argentina and Israel, to manage its global business, mainly through the following companies:
(*) See note 4.G. to the Annual Financial Statements for more information about the changes within the Operations Center in Israe
 
2.
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
2.1.
Basis of preparation
 
The CNV, in Title IV "Periodic Information Regime" - Chapter III "Rules relating to the presentation and valuation of financial statements" - Article 1, of its standards, has established the application of the Technical Resolution No. 26 (RT 26) of the FACPCE and its amendments, which adopt IFRS, issued by the IASB, for certain companies included in the public offering regime of Law No. 26,831, either because of its stock or its non-convertible notes, or that have requested authorization to be included in the aforementioned regime.
 
For the preparation of these financial statements, the Group has made use of the option provided by IAS 34, and has prepared them in condensed form. Therefore, these financial statements do not include all the information required in a complete set of annual financial statements and, consequently, their reading is recommended together with the annual audited financial statements as of June 30, 2018.
 
The management of the Group has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles established by the CNV, which are based on the application of IFRS, in particular of IAS 34.
 
Additionally, the information required by the CNV indicated in article 1, Chapter III, Title IV of General Resolution N° 622/13 has been included. This information is included in a note to these financial statements.

IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. To do so, in general terms, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be calculated by non-monetary items. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements.
 
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as high inflation in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of an accumulated inflation rate in three years that is approximate or exceeds 100%. Accumulated inflation in Argentina in three years is over 100%. It is for this reason that, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentina is considered a high inflation economy starting July 1, 2018.
 
In addition, Law No. 27,468 (published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018), amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, and established that the derogation of all the laws or regulations imposing or authorizing price indexation, monetary restatement, cost variation or any other method for strengthening debts, taxes, prices or rates of goods, works or services, does not extend to financial statements, as to which the provisions of Section 62 in in line with the General Companies Law No. 19,550 (1984 revision), as amended, shall continue to apply. Moreover, the referred law repealed Decree No. 1269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated to the Argentine Executive Branch the power to establish, through its controlling agencies, the effective date of the referred provisions in connection with the financial statements filed with it. Therefore, under General Resolution 777/2018 (published in the Official Gazette on December 28, 2018) the CNV ordered that issuers subject to its supervision shall apply the inflation adjustment to present the financial statements in terms of the current measuring unit set forth in IAS 29 in their annual, interim and special financial statements closed on or after December 31, 2018.
 
Pursuant to IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a high inflationary economy should be reported in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements. All the amounts included in the statement of financial position which are not stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements should be restated applying the general price index. All items in the statement of income should be stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements, applying the changes in the general price index recorded from the date on which the revenues and expenses were originally recognized in the financial statements.
 
Adjustment for inflation in the initial balances has been calculated considering the indexes reported by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) based on the price indexes published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC).
 
The principal inflation adjustment procedures are the following:
 
-
Monetary assets and liabilities that are recorded in the current currency as of the balance sheet’s closing date are not restated because they are already stated in terms of the currency unit current as of the date of the financial statements.
-
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded at cost as of the balance sheet date, and equity components are restated applying the relevant adjustment ratios.
-
All items in the statement of income are restated applying the relevant conversion factors.
-
The effect of inflation in the Company’s net monetary position is included in the statement of income under Financial results, nets, in the item “Inflation adjustment”.
-
Comparative figures have been adjusted for inflation following the procedure explained in the previous paragraphs.
 
Upon initially applying inflation adjustment, the equity accounts were restated as follows:
-
Capital was restated as from the date of subscription or the date of the most recent inflation adjustment for accounting purposes, whichever is later. The resulting amount was included in the “Capital adjustment” account.
-
The translation differences was restated to reflect the real terms.
-
Other comprehensive income / (loss) was restated as from each accounting allocation.
-
The other reserves in the statement of income were not restated as of the initial application date, i.e., June 30, 2016.

2.2.
Significant accounting policies
 
The accounting policies applied in the presentation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements, as described in Note 2 the Annual Financial Statements except for what is mentioned in Note 2.1 to these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
As described in Note 2.2 to the Annual Financial Statements, the Group adopted IFRS 15 “Revenues from contracts with customers” and IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” in the present fiscal year using the cumulative effect approach, so that the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognized in retained earnings at the beginning of the period, and the comparative figures have not been modified due to this adoption.
 
The main changes are the following:
 
IFRS 15: Revenues from contracts with customers
 
The standard introduces a new five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers:
1.
Identifying the contract with the customer.
2.
Identifying separate performance obligations in the contract.
3.
Determining the transaction price.
4.
Allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations.
5.
Recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.
 
 
IFRS 9: Financial instruments
 
The new standard includes a new model of "expected credit loss" for receivables or other assets not measured at fair value. The new model presents a dual measurement approach for impairment: if the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, an allowance for impairment will be recorded in the amount of expected credit losses resulting from the possible non- compliance events within a certain period. If the credit risk has increased significantly, in most cases the allowance will increase and the amount of the expected losses should be recorded.
 
In accordance with the new standard, in cases where a change in terms or exchange of financial liabilities is immaterial and does not lead, at the time of analysis, to the reduction of the previous liability and recognition of the new liability, the new cash flows must be discounted at the original effective interest rate, recording the impact of the difference between the present value of the financial liability that has the new terms and the present value of the original financial liability in net income.
 
The effect on the income statement for the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 for the first implementation of IFRS 15 is as follows:

Comparability of information
 
Balance sheet items as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 presented in these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for comparative purposes arise from the financial statements as of and for such periods restated according to IAS 29. Certain items from prior periods have been reclassified for consistency purposes regarding the loss of control in Shufersal. See note 4.G. to the Annual Financial Statements.
 
2.4.
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires Management to make estimations and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these interim financial statements. In the preparation of these interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same as the ones applied by the Group in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements described in Note 3 to those Annual Financial Statements.
 
3.
Seasonal effects on operations
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
The operations of the Group’s shopping malls are subject to seasonal effects, which affect the level of sales recorded by lessees. During summer time in Argentina (January and February), the lessees of shopping malls experience the lowest sales levels in comparison with the winter holidays (July) and Christmas and year-end holidays celebrated in December, when they tend to record peaks sales revenue. Apparel stores generally change their collections during the spring and the fall, which impacts positively on shopping mall sales. Sale discounts at the end of each season also affect the business. As a consequence, for shopping mall operations, a higher level of business activity is expected in the period ranging between July and December, compared to the period between January and June.

Dividend distribution
 
On October 29, 2018, the Shareholders’ meeting was held, whereby the distribution of a dividend in kind for an equivalent of Ps. 1,412 payable in shares of IRSA CP was resolved. For the distribution, the value of IRSA CP share was taken as of October 26, 2018, which was Ps. 220 per share. The number of shares distributed amounted to 6,418,182. This transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction generating a decrease in the equity attributable to holders of the parent for Ps. 709, restated as of the date of these interim financial statements.
 
Operations Center in Israel
 
A.
Possible sale of a subsidiary of IDB Tourism
 
On August 14, 2018, the Board of Directors of IDB Tourism approved its engagement in a memorandum of understanding for the sale of 50% of the issued share capital of a company which manages the incoming tourism operation which is held by Israir for a total consideration of NIS 26 million (approximately Ps. 260 as of the date of the transaction). This transaction does not change the intentions of selling the whole investment in IDBT, which the management of the company expects to complete before June 2019.

Puerto Retiro (joint venture):
 
At present, this 8.3 hectare plot of land, which is located in one of the most privileged areas of the city, near Catalinas, Puerto Madero and Retiro and is the only privately owned waterfront property facing directly to Río de la Plata, is affected by a zoning regulation defined as U.P. which prevents the property from being used for any purposes other than strictly port activities.
 
The Company was involved in a judicial bankruptcy action brought by the National Government, to which this Board of Directors is not party. Management and legal counsel of the Company believe that there are sufficient legal and technical arguments to consider that the petition for continuation of the bankruptcy case will be dismissed by the court. However, in view of the current status of the action, its result cannot be predicted.

Moreover, Tandanor filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro S.A. and the other defendants in the criminal case for violation of Section 174 (5) based on Section 173 (7) of the Criminal Code of Argentina. Such action seeks -on the basis of the nullity of the decree that approved the bidding process involving the Dársena Norte property- the restitution of the property and a reimbursement in favor of Tandanor for all such amounts it has allegedly lost as a result of a suspected fraudulent transaction involving the sale of the property. Puerto Retiro has presented the allegation on the merit of the evidence, highlighting that the current shareholders of Puerto Retiro did not participate in any of the suspected acts in the criminal case since they acquired the shares for consideration and in good faith several years after the facts told in the process. Likewise, it was emphasized that the company Puerto Retiro is foreign to the bidding / privatization carried out for the sale of Tandanor shares. The dictation of the sentence is expected.
 
On September 7, 2018, the Oral Federal Criminal Court No. 5 rendered a decision. According to the sentence read by the president of the Court, Puerto Retiro won the preliminary objection of limitation filed in the civil action. However, in the criminal case, where Puerto Retiro is not a party, it was ordered, among other issues, the confiscation (“decomiso”) of the property owned by Puerto Retiro known as Planta I. The grounds of the Court`s judgement will be read on November 11, 2018. From that moment, all the parties will be able to file the appeals. Although there are solid arguments to try to refute the disposed seizure, this can be affirmed with a greater degree of certainty after the publications of the fundamentals of the ruling, at this time only the resolute part of this ruling is known.
 
In the criminal action, the claimant reported the violation by Puerto Retiro of the injunction ordered by the criminal court consisting in an order to stay (“prohibición de innovar”) and not to contract with respect to the property disputed in the civil action. As a result of such report, the Oral Federal Court (Tribunal Oral Federal) No. 5 started interlocutory proceedings, and on June 8, 2017, it ordered and carried out a foreclosure of the property that was subject to lease agreements with Los Cipreses S.A. and Flight Express S.A. with the aim of enforcing the referred order. As a result, the proceedings were forwarded to the Criminal Court for it to appoint the court that will investigate the alleged commission of the crime of contempt.
 
Faced with the evolution of the legal cases that affect it and based on the reports of its legal advisors, Puerto Retiro Management has decided to register an allowance equivalent to 100% of the book value of its investment property, without prejudice to reverse it when a favorable ruling is obtained in the interposed actions.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at their amortized cost does not differ significantly from their book value, except for borrowings (Note 16). The fair value of payables approximates their respective carrying amounts because, due to their short-term nature, the effect of discounting is not considered significant. Fair values are based on discounted cash flows (Level 3).
 
The valuation models used by the Group for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments are no different from those used as of June 30, 2018.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
 
As of December 31, 2018, there have been no changes to the economic or business circumstances affecting the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group.
 
The Group uses a range of valuation models for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments, details of which may be obtained from the following table. When no quoted prices are available in an active market, fair values (particularly with derivatives) are based on recognized valuation methods.

Other relevant events of the period
 
IRSA Class action
 
On September 10, 2018, the New York Court issued an order granting the motion to dismiss the IRSA Case in its entirety.
 
On September 24, 2018, Plaintiff in the Cresud Case filed a document acknowledging that the Cresud Class Action complaint should be dismissed for the same reasons set forth in the Court’s September 10, 2018 order in the IRSA Case, subject to a right of appeal.

On October 9, 2018, the Plaintiff in the IRSA Case filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On December 12, 2018, Plaintiff in the Cresud Case filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, with prejudice. On December 13, 2018, Plaintiff moved to dismiss the appeal of the IRSA Case in the Second Circuit upon agreement with IRSA and Cresud that the parties shall bear their own costs and fees in the litigation, including the appeal, and that no fees are due. Accordingly, the Second Circuit dismissed Plaintiff’s appeal on December 18, 2018.
 
The IRSA Case is fully and finally resolved. The Cresud Case awaits an entry of judgment by the court and the companies hold that such allegations are meritless and will continue making a strong defense in that action.
 
DIC class action
 
On October 3, 2018, the DIC plaintiffs field a motion to a class action status (jointly – the "Motion"), with the District Court of Tel Aviv Yafo (the "Court") against the Group; and enjoining Mr. Eduardo Elsztain, the controlling person of the Company (the "Controlling Person"), who serves as chairman of the Company's board of directors; directors serving in the Group who have an interest in the Controlling Person; and additional directors and officers of the Company (all jointly – the "Respondents"), in connection with the exit of the Company's share, on February 1, 2018, from the TA 90 and TA 125 indices, whereon it had been traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. up to that date (the "Indices"), by an applicant alleging to have held the Group's shares prior to February 1, 2018 and thereafter (the "Applicant").
 
In the Motion, the Court is requested, inter alia, to approve the action as a class action and to charge the Respondents with compensating the members of the Group according to the damage caused them. The estimated amount in dispute is approximately NIS 17.6 million.
 
The Company believes that it acted lawfully and as required counterpoint to the claims in the Motion, and accordingly, after having preliminarily reviewed the Group's Motion, has concluded that it is unfounded.
 
IDBD class action
 
On October 3, 2018, an action and a motion to approve a class action had been filed with the District Court in Tel Aviv Yafo (jointly – the "Motion"). The Motion had been filed, against IDBD, against Dolphin IL, Mr. Eduardo Elsztain and the Official Receiver, and in it, the court was requested to hold that the Transaction was not in compliance with the provisions of the Centralization Law, to appoint a trustee over DIC's shares owned by the respondents and to order the payment of monetary damages to the public shareholders in DIC for the alleged preservation of the pyramidal structure in IDBD, at a scope of between NIS 58 and 73 million.
 
The bulk of the Applicant's allegations is that the Group continues to be the Controlling Person of DIC (potentially and effectively) even after the completion of the sale of DIC shares to DIL as described in Note 4 to the Annual Financial Statements (the “Transaction”) and that the controlling person of IDBD (in his capacity as chairman of the board of directors and controlling person of DIC as well) had a personal interest separate from the personal interest of the minority shareholders in DIC, in the manner of implementation of the Centralization Law's provisions, and that he and the Group breached the duty of good faith and the duty of Loyalty owed to DIC and its shareholders’, and additionally the controlling person of IDBD breached his duty of trust and duty of care toward DIC, this being, allegedly, due to the fact that the decision regarding the preferred alternative for complying with the Centralization Law's Provisions was not brought before DIC's general meeting of shareholders’. The Applicant further alleges deprivation of the minority shareholders in DIC.
 
Having preliminarily reviewed the Motion, the Group’s Management estimates that it is unfounded and that it will not change the fact that after following consummation of the Transaction, IDBD complies with the provisions of the Centralization Law, all as set forth in the Company's reports.

Subsequent events
 
Partial sale of Clal
 
On January 2, 2019, continuing with the instructions given by the Commissioner of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings of Israel, IDBD sold an additional 4.5% of its stake in Clal through a swap transaction on the same conditions that applied to the swap transactions performed in the months of May and August 2017 and, January, May and August 2018 described in Note 4 to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. The consideration was set at an amount of approximately NIS 127 million (equivalent to approximately Ps. 1,270 as of the transaction date). After the completion of the transaction, IDBD’s interest in Clal was reduced to 25.3% of Clal’s share capital.
 
Additionally, on January 2, 2019, the swap transaction was completed with respect to 555,788 shares of Clal, which constitute 1% of the issued capital of Clal. It is hereby clarified that the terms of the swap transaction will remain in effect with respect to the balance of shares of Clal which are the subject of the swap transaction, which constitute in aggregateapproximately 29% of the issued capital of Clal as of the date of these interim financial statements.
 
DIC buy back plan
 
As indicated in Note 4 to these interim financial statements, DIC’s Board of Directors approved a plan to buy back DIC shares. During January and February of 2019, DIC acquired 10.1 million additional shares for total consideration of NIS 96 (approximately Ps. 969 as of the date of these financial statements), and the publicly held shares after these repurchases amounted to 15.92 % of DIC’s shares outstanding.
 
Sale of Tarshop
 
On February 14, 2019, the Group sold its entire stake in Tarshop to BHSA. With this acquisition, BHSA became the holder of 100% of the capital of Tarshop. The price of the operation was established at USD 0.1, which have already been received.
 
The parties agreed that the seller will be entitled to a variable compensation, if the buyer, in a period not exceeding 2 years, sells all or part of the participation to a third party.
 
The result transcended to third parties for this transaction was approximately Ps. 66.

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED
 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Legal address: Bolivar 108 – 1° floor
Autonomous City Buenos Aires
Tax Code No. 30-52532274-9
 
 
 
Introduction
 
We have reviewed the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries (hereinafter “the Company”) which included the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2018 and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income for the six-month period and three-month period ended December 31, 2018, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes.
 
The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and the interim periods within that fiscal year are an integral part of these financial statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to those financial statements.
 
 
Management responsibility
 
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) as professional accounting standards and added by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and , for this reason, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements above mentioned in the first paragraph according to the International Accounting Standard No 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34).

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED
 INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
 
 
Scope of our review
 
Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established in the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as a review standard in Argentina in Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE, without modification as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries of persons responsible for the preparation of the information included in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated statements of financial position, the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company.
 
Conclusion
 
Nothing came to our attention as a result of our review that caused us to believe that these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements above mentioned in the first paragraph of this report have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Separate Financial Statements
(All amounts in millions, except otherwise indicated)
Free translation from the original prepared in Spanish for publication in Argentina
 
1.
General information and company’s business
 
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“IRSA” or “The Company”) was founded in 1943, it is primarily engaged in managing real estate holdings in Argentina since 1991.
 
IRSA is a corporation incorporated and domiciled in Argentina. The registered office is Bolívar 108, 1st. Floor, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
 
The Company owns, manages and develops, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, a portfolio of office and other rental properties in Buenos Aires. In addition, IRSA through its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures manages and develops shopping malls and branded hotels across Argentina, and also office properties in the United States of America and Israel.
 
These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on February 28, 2019.
 
2.
Basis of preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements
 
2.1. 
Basis of preparation
 
The National Securities Commission (CNV), in Title IV "Periodic Information Regime" - Chapter III "Rules relating to the presentation and valuation of financial statements" - Article 1, of its standards, has established the application of the Technical Resolution No. 26 (RT 26) of the FACPCE and its amendments, which adopt IFRS, issued by the IASB, for certain companies included in the public offering regime of Law No. 26,831, either because of its share capital or its non-convertible notes, or that have requested authorization to be included in the aforementioned regime.
 
For the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements, the Company has made use of the option provided by IAS 34, and has prepared them in a condensed form. Therefore, these financial statements do not include all the information required in a complete set of annual financial statements and, consequently, it is recommended that they be read together with the annual financial statements as of June 30, 2018.
 
The Company´s management has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles established by the CNV, which are based on the application of IFRS, in particular of IAS 34.
 
Additionally, the information required by the CNV indicated in article 1, Chapter III, Title IV of General Resolution N ° 622/13 has been included. Such information is included in a note to these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements.
 
IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. To do so, in general terms, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be calculated for non-monetary items. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements.
 
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as a high inflation one, in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of an accumulated inflation rate in three years that approximates to or exceeds 100%. Accumulated inflation in Argentina in three years is over 100%. For this reason, in accordance with IAS 29, the Argentine economy must be considered as a high inflation economy starting July 1, 2018.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
 
In addition, Law No. 27,468 (published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018), amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, and established that the derogation of all the laws or regulations imposing or authorizing price indexation, monetary restatement, cost variation or any other method for strengthening debts, taxes, prices or rates of goods, works or services, does not extend to financial statements, as to which the provisions of Section 62 in fine of the General Companies Law No. 19,550 (1984 revision), as amended, shall continue to apply. Moreover, the referred law repealed Decree No. 1269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated to the Argentine Executive Branch the power to establish, through its controlling agencies, the effective date of the referred provisions in connection with the financial statements filed with it. Therefore, under General Resolution 777/2018 (published in the Official Gazette on December 28, 2018) the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) ordered that issuers subject to its supervision shall apply the inflation adjustment to reflect the financial statements in terms of the current measuring unit set forth in IAS 29 in their annual, interim and special financial statements closed on or after December 31, 2018.
 
Pursuant to IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a high inflationary economy should be reported in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements. All the amounts included in the statement of financial position which are not stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements should be restated applying the general price index. All items in the statement of income should be stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements, applying the changes in the general price index occurred from the date on which the revenues and expenses were originally recognized in the financial statements.
 
Adjustment for inflation in the initial balances has been calculated considering the indexes reported by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) based on the price indexes published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC).
 
The principal inflation adjustment procedures are the following:
 
-
Monetary assets and liabilities that are recorded in the current currency as of the balance sheet’s closing date are not restated because they are already stated in terms of the currency unit current as of the date of the financial statements.
-
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded at cost as of the balance sheet date, and equity components are restated applying the relevant adjustment ratios.
-
All items in the statement of income are restated applying the relevant conversion factors.
-
The effect of inflation in the Company’s net monetary position is included in the statement of income under Financial results, net in the item “Inflation adjustment”.
-
Comparative figures have been adjusted for inflation following the procedure explained in the previous paragraphs.
 
Upon initially applying inflation adjustment, the equity accounts were restated as follows:
 
-
Capital was restated as from the date of subscription or the date of the most recent inflation adjustment for accounting purposes, whichever is later. The resulting amount was included in the “Capital adjustment” account.
-
The conversion difference was restated in real terms (as applicable).
-
Other comprehensive income / (loss) was restated as from each accounting allocation.
-
The other reserves in the statement of income were not restated as of the initial application date, June 30, 2016.
 
2.2. Significant accounting policies
 
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the Annual Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018. The principal accounting policies are described in Note 2 of those Annual Financial Statements, except for what is mentioned in Note 2.1 to these financial statements.
 
As described in Note 2.2 to the Annual Financial Statements, the Group adopted IFRS 15 “Revenues from contracts with customers” and IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” in the present fiscal year using the modified retrospective approach, so that the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognized in the retained earnings at the beginning, and the comparative figures were not modified due to this adoption.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
 
The main changes are the following:
 
IFRS 15: Revenues from contracts with customers
 
The standard introduces a new five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers:
1.
Identifying the contract with the customer.
2.
Identifying separate performance obligations in the contract.
3.
Determining the transaction price.
4.
Allocating the transaction price to separate performance obligations.
5.
Recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.
 
IFRS 9: Financial instruments
 
The new standard includes a new model of "expected credit loss" for receivables or other assets not measured at fair value. The new model presents a dual measurement approach for impairment: if the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, an allowance for impairment will be recorded in the amount of expected credit losses resulting from the possible non- compliance events within a certain period. If the credit risk has increased significantly, in most cases the allowance will increase and the amount of the expected losses should be recorded.
 
In accordance with the new standard, in cases where a change in terms or exchange of financial liabilities is immaterial and does not lead, at the time of analysis, to the reduction of the previous liability and recognition of the new liability, the new cash flows must be discounted at the original effective interest rate, recording the impact of the difference between the present value of the financial liability that has the new terms and the present value of the original financial liability in net income.
 
The effect for the first implementation of IFRS 15 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 generates an increase in gross margin and result from participation in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of Ps. 213 and Ps. 150 respectively and a decrease of the income tax of Ps. 44. The result of the period yields a profit of Ps. 319.
 
The effect on the retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 for the first implementation of IFRS 9 and 15 is as follows:

Comparability of information

2.4.            
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of Financial Statements at a certain date requires Management to make estimates and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements. In the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements, the main significant judgments made by Management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the major sources of uncertainty were the same that the Company used in the preparation of the Separate Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, described in Note 3.

Seasonal effects on operations
 
See Note 3 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Significant acquisitions and disposals of the Company and/or its subsidiaries for the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 are detailed in Note 4 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
5.            
Financial risk management and fair value estimates
 
The Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures of the risk management, so they should be read together with the Annual Separate Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018.
 
There has been no changes in the risk management or risk management policies applied by the Company since the end of the annual fiscal year.
 
Since June 30, 2018 there have been no significant changes in business or economic circumstances affecting the fair value of the Company's financial assets or liabilities (either measured at fair value or amortized cost). See notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Furthermore, there have been no transfers between the different hierarchies used to assess the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost does not differ significantly from their book value, except for borrowings (Note 14). The fair value of payables approximates their respective carrying amounts because, due to their short-term nature, the effect of discounting is not considered significant.
 
As of December 31, 2018, there have been no changes to the economic or business circumstances affecting the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Company.

CNV General Resolution N° 629/14 – Storage of documentation
 
On August 14, 2014, the CNV issued General Resolution N° 629 whereby it introduced amendments to rules related to storage and conservation of corporate books, accounting books and commercial documentation. In this sense, it should be noted that the Company has entrusted the storage of certain non-sensitive and old information to the following providers:
 
Storage of documentation responsible
 
Location
Iron Mountain Argentina S.A.
 
Av. Amancio Alcorta 2482, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
Pedro de Mendoza 2143, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
Saraza 6135, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
Azara 1245, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
Polígono industrial Spegazzini, Autopista Ezeiza Km 45, Cañuelas, Province of Buenos Aires
 
 
Cañada de Gómez 3825, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
It is further noted that a detailed list of all documentation held in custody by providers, as well as documentation required in section 5 a.3) of Section I, Chapter V, Title II of the CNV RULES (2013 as amended) are available at the registered office.
 
On February 5, 2014 there was a widely known accident in Iron Mountain’s warehouse. Such company is a supplier of the Company and Company’s documentation was being kept in the mentioned warehouse. Based on the internal review carried out by the Company, duly reported to the CNV on February 12, 2014, the information kept at the Iron Mountain premises that were on fire do not appear to be sensitive or capable of affecting normal operations.

To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Legal address: Bolivar 108 – 1° floor
Autonomous City Buenos Aires
Tax Code No. 30-52532274-9
 
 
Introduction
 
We have reviewed the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (hereinafter “the Company”) which included the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of financial position as of December 31, 2018, and the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of income and other comprehensive income for the six-month period and three-month period ended December 31, 2018, the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes.
 
The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and the interim periods within that fiscal year are an integral part of these financial statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to those financial statements.
 
Management responsibility
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) as professional accounting standards and added by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and , for this reason, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements above mentioned in the first paragraph according to the International Accounting Standard No 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34).

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED
INTERIM SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
 
Scope of our review
Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established in the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as a review standard in Argentina in Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE, without modification as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries of persons responsible for the preparation of the information included in the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the separate statements of financial position, the separate statements of income and other comprehensive income and the separate statement of cash flows of the Company.
 
Conclusion
Nothing came to our attention as a result of our review that caused us to believe that these unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements above mentioned in the first paragraph of this report have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

I. Brief comment on the Company’s activities during the period, including references to significant events occurred after the end of the period.
 
 
Financial Statements adjusted for inflation
 
 
IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. To do so, in general terms, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be calculated by non-monetary items. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements.
 
 
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as high inflation in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of an accumulated inflation rate in three years that is approximate or exceed 100%. Accumulated inflation in Argentina in three years is over 100%. It is for this reason that, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentina must be considered a country with high inflation economy starting July 1, 2018.
 
 
In addition, Law No. 27,468 (published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018), amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, and established that the derogation of all the laws or regulations imposing or authorizing price indexation, monetary restatement, cost variation or any other method for strengthening debts, taxes, prices or rates of goods, works or services, does not extend to financial statements, asto which the provisions of Section 62 in fine of the General Companies Law No. 19,550 (1984 revision), as amended, shall continue to apply. Moreover, the referred law repealed Decree No. 1269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated to the Argentine Executive Branch the power to establish, through its controlling agencies, the effective date of the referred provisions in connection with the financial statements filed with it. Therefore, under General Resolution 777/2018 (published in the Official Gazette on December 28, 2018) the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) ordered that issuers subject to its supervision shall apply the inflation adjustment to reflect the financial statements in terms of the current measuring unit set forth in IAS 29 in their annual, interim and special financial statements closed on or after December 31, 2018.
 
 
Pursuant to IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a high inflationary economy should be reported in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements. All the amounts included in the statement of financial position which are not stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements should be restated applying the general price index. All items in the statement of income should be stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements, applying the changes in the general price index occurred from the date on which the revenues and expenses were originally recognized in the financial statements.
 
 
Adjustment for inflation in the initial balances has been calculated considering the indexes reported by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) based on the price indexes published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC).
 
 
The principal inflation adjustment procedures are the following:
 
 
-
Monetary assets and liabilities that are recorded in the currency current as of the balance sheet’s closing date are not restated because they are already stated in terms of the currency unit current as of the date of the financial statements.
 
 
-
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded at cost as of the balance sheet date, and equity components are restated applying the relevant adjustment ratios.
 
 
-
All items in the statement of income are restated applying the relevant conversion factors.
 
 
-
The effect of inflation on the net monetary position of the Company is included in the statement of comprehensive income, under "Financial results, net", in the item “Inflation adjustment”.
 
 
-
Comparative figures have been adjusted for inflation following the procedure explained in the previous paragraphs.

Upon initially applying inflation adjustment, the equity accounts were restated as follows:

-
The conversion difference was re expressed in real terms.
 
 
-
Other comprehensive income / (loss) was restated as from each accounting allocation.
 
 
-

See Point XIX: EBITDA Reconciliation
 
Company’s income increased by 17.5% during the first half of fiscal year 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased 13.1% mainly due to “Shopping Malls” and “Sales and Developments” segments in Argentina Business Center, which decreased 9.8% and 158.5%, respectively.
 
 
Profit for the period under review reached an ARS 5,447.0 million loss, 144.9% lower than the gain registered in the same period of 2018, mainly explained by a higher change in the fair value of investment properties in Argentina Business Center.
 
 
It should be noted that under the adjustment for inflation methodology, the result from the valuation at fair value of the investment properties must be segregated in its two effects: i) adjustment for inflation and ii) loss or gain from adjustment at real fair value. In the current semester, the inflationary effect exceeds the fair value appreciation of the investment properties, for this reason it is necessary to recognize a loss for change in the fair value of the investment property of ARS 5,451.0 million. Likewise, in the previous fiscal year we had recognized a higher value due to changes in the Income Tax Law.

II. Shopping Malls (through our subsidiary IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.)
 
 
Shopping malls operated by us comprise 332,119 square meters of GLA, decreasing by approximately 13,000 sqm due to the end of concession of Buenos Aires Design in November 2018. Total tenant sales in our shopping malls, as reported by retailers, were ARS 29,620.3 million for the first semester of FY 2019, which implies a decrease, in real terms, of 12.5% when compared to the same period in FY 2018.
 
 
The occupancy rate stood at very high levels, reaching 94.9%.

Gross leasable area was 83,213 sqm as of the second three-month period of fiscal year 2019, slightly below to the same period of the previous year due to the sale of a floor of the Intercontinental tower.
 
 
Portfolio average occupancy diminished at 90.0% regarding the same period of previous fiscal year, mainly due to the two floors vacancy in República Tower and another two floors in Dot Building. The average rental price raised to USD 27.0 per sqm because of the floors vacancy mentioned above, that had a lower average rent per square meter.

In real terms, during the first semester of fiscal year 2019, revenues from the offices segment increased by 42.9% compared to the same period of 2018. Although the effect of the exchange rate depreciation in Argentina in our dollar-denominated contracts would have been almost 100%, the effect is reduced when adjusting comparative information by inflation.
 
 
Adjusted EBITDA from this segment grew 45.6% in real terms compared to the same period of the previous year. EBITDA margin was 74.9% in line with the first semester of fiscal year 2018.

Shopping Mall Expansions
 
 
During fiscal year 2019, we will add approximately 15,000 sqm from current malls’ expansions. We will soon add an approximately 12,800 sqm Sodimac store in Mendoza Plaza Shopping while expanding its Falabella store and 2,000 sqm of expansion in Alto Rosario, where we have recently opened a big Zara store.
 
 
In September 2018, we launched the works of expansion of Alto Palermo shopping mall, the shopping mall with the highest sales per square meter in our portfolio, that will add a gross leasable area of approximately 4,000 square meters and will consist in moving the food court to a third level by using the area of an adjacent building acquired in 2015.
 
 
First Stage of Polo Dot – Zetta Building
 
 
The project called “Polo Dot”, located in the commercial complex adjacent to our shopping mall Dot Baires, has experienced significant growth since our first investments in the area. The total project will consist in four office buildings (one of them could include a hotel) in land reserves owned by the Company and the expansion of the shopping mall by approximately 15,000 square meters of GLA. At a first stage, we developed an 11-floor office building with an area of approximately 32,000 square meters on an existing building, in respect of which we have already executed lease agreements for the total surface and whose units have already been delivered to their tenants "Mercado Libre" and "Falabella" for its conditioning prior to the inauguration. The total estimated investment amounts to ARS 1,425 million and as of December 31, 2018, degree of progress was 98%.
 
 
Catalinas building – 200 Della Paolera
 
 
The building to be constructed will have 35,000 sqm of GLA consisting of 30 office floors and 316 parking spaces, and will be located in the “Catalinas” area in the City of Buenos Aires, one of the most sought-after spots for Premium office development in Argentina. The total estimated investment under IRSA Commercial Properties as of December 31, 2018 amounts to ARS 2,510 million and, work progress was 35%. IRSA Propiedades Comerciales owns 87% of the building's surface while the remaining 13% is owned by Globant.

Revenues from the “Sales and Development” segment decreased 29.1% during the first semester of fiscal year 2019 compared to the same period of previous year, due to lower sales of Astor Beruti units by our subsidiary IRSA Commercial Properties. Adjusted EBITDA of the segment was ARS 166.0 million loss mainly due to the provision of ARS 102.0 million that adjusts the accounting value of “Puerto Retiro" plot of land originated in the litigation that exists over it (see Note 7 to the Financial Statements).
 
 
VI. Hotels
 
 
In the first semester of fiscal year 2018, the Hotels segment recorded an increase in revenues of 30.6% mainly due to the positive impact of the depreciation of the exchange rate in Argentina in dollarized rates. The segment’s EBITDA reached ARS 305 million during the period under review highlighting the performance in the second quarter because of the impact of the G-20 in Intercontinental as well as the event of the Emir of Qatar in Llao Llao.

Revenues and operating income of the Real Estate segment through the subsidiary PBC reached in the 6-month period ended December 31, 2018 an amount of ARS 6,020 million and ARS 3,750 million, respectively, and for the same period ended on December 31, 2017, reached ARS 3,723 million and ARS 4,068 million respectively. This is mainly due to an average real depreciation of 17% of the Argentine peso against the Israeli shekel, an increase of approximately 25,000 sqm compared to December 2017 and an increase in the value of the rent.
 
 
Additionally, as explained in note 2.2. to the financial statements, the group adopted IFRS 15 in the current fiscal year, which allows it to recognize the sales of properties under development according to the degree of progress of the work. Said standard was not in effect for the comparative period and it has not been restated. With respect to the variation in operating income, in the six-month period ended December 31, 2018, the impact of the result from fair value adjustment of investment properties was a gain of ARS 780 million, while for the same period of the previous year was a gain of ARS 1,747 million, this is due to the fact that property valuations in Israel were advanced by May 2018, so they are included in the year ended June 30, 2018, while for the comparative period were not advanced yet, so the effect of these valuations was recorded in September 2017.

The Telecommunications segment carried out by "Cellcom" reached ARS 15,641 million of revenue and an operating loss of ARS 314 million in the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. For the period ended December 31, 2017, revenues were ARS 14,088 million and operating loss was ARS 314 million. This is mainly due to an average real depreciation of 17% of the Argentine peso against the Israeli shekel and to the constant erosion in revenues from mobile services, which was partially offset by an increase in revenues related to landlines, television and the internet. In addition, content costs for television and internet increased more than the revenues generated, as well as an increase in marketing expenses, in order to attract more customers. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, Cellcom sold its interest in the subsidiary Rimon, for which it recorded a gain in "other operating results, net" of approximately ARS 217 million adjusted for inflation.

During the same period ended December 31, 2017, it reached revenues of ARS 501 million and an operating gain of ARS 83 million. This is mainly due to an average real depreciation of 17% of the Argentine peso against the Israeli shekel, a decrease in Epsilon's revenues and the result of the sale of Cyber Secdo by Elron as of December 31, 2018, which generated an approximate gain of ARS 252 million, while as of December 31, 2017 it has sold Cludyn for an amount of ARS 390 million adjusted for inflation.

EBITDA Reconciliation
 
 
In this summary report we present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as profit for the period excluding: (i) interest income, (ii) interest expense, (iii) income tax expense, and (iv) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA minus (i) total financial results, net excluding interest expense, net (mainly foreign exchange differences, net gains/losses from derivative financial instruments; gains/losses of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; and other financial results, net) and minus (ii) share of profit of associates and joint ventures and minus (iii) net unrealized gains from fair value adjustment of investment properties.
 
 
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide investors supplemental measures of our financial performance that may facilitate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from time to time, among other measures, for internal planning and performance measurement purposes. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to profit from operations, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities, in each case, as determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The table below presents a reconciliation of profit from operations to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated:

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Business Summary as of December 31, 2018
  "Reseña Informativa"

XX. Brief comment on future prospects for the Fiscal Year
 
 
Our businesses in Argentina and Israel have posted sound results for the first 6 months of fiscal year 2019. We believe that the diversification of our business, with real estate assets in Argentina and abroad, favorably positions us to face all the challenges and opportunities that may arise in the coming years.
 
 
As concerns our Argentina Business Center, our subsidiary IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. has showm a deceleration in consumption in its shopping malls, whose sales dropped in real terms by 16%. The rest of fiscal year 2019 will be a challenge for the consumption in shopping malls given the context of economic recession and high inflation. The office business continues solid with dollar tied revenues that allows IRCP to partially offset the effect of the recession.
 
 
Regarding investments, during the current fiscal year, IRSA CP plans to incorporate approximately 15.000 sqm of the expansion works in progress of some of its shopping malls highlighting the work of Alto Palermo’s third level, which foresees to add 4,000 sqm of GLA in FY 2020 to the most profitable shopping mall in the portfolio. Also, it will put into operation the "Zetta Building", of 32,000 sqm of GLA, located in the commercial complex adjacent to Dot Baires shopping mall, whose units have already been delivered to the tenants "Mercado Libre" and "Falabella" for its conditioning prior to the inauguration. Additionally, IRSA CP will advance in the development of 35,468 sqm of GLA of the "Catalinas" building located in one of the most premium areas for the development of offices in Argentina.
 
 
In addition to the projects in progress, the company has a large reserve of land for future developments of shopping malls and offices in Argentina in a context of a high potential industry. We hope to have the economic, financial and governmental conditions to be able to execute the growth plan of our subsidiary IRSA Propiedades Comerciales.
 
 
In relation to the investment in the Israeli IDBD and DIC companies, we will keep working in 2019 to continue reducing the company's debt levels, sell the non-strategic assets of the portfolio and improve the operating margins of each of the operating subsidiaries. Likewise, we will work on the fulfilment of the second stage of requirement of the Concentration Law, which requires eliminating one more of public company level before December 2019 and on the sale or control permits of the insurance company, Clal.
 
 
Taking into account the quality of the real estate assets in our portfolio, the Company’s financial position and low indebtedness level and its franchise for accessing the capital markets, we remain confident that we will continue consolidating the best real estate portfolio in Argentina and Israel. Moreover, in line with our continuous pursuit of business opportunities and having in mind the general and specific conditions of the national and international markets, we keep evaluating different actions to optimize our capital structure.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2018 compared to six months ended December 31, 2017
 
Revenues
 
Revenue from sales, leases and services, according to our income statement, increased by Ps.4,417 million, from Ps.23,732 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.27,879 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 (of which Ps.22,149 million come from the Operations Center in Israel and Ps.5,730 million come from the Operations Center in Argentina). Excluding revenues from the Operations Center in Israel, revenues from sales, leases and services increased by 5.7% during the period.

Revenues from expenses and the Collective Promotion Fund decreased by 14.5%, from Ps.1,336 million (of which Ps.1,324 million are attributable to the Shopping Malls segment and Ps.12 million to the Office segment of the Operations Center in Argentina) during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, to Ps.1,142 million (of which Ps.1,064 million are attributable to the Shopping Malls segment and Ps.78 million to the Office segment) during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018.
 
Revenues from our joint ventures decreased by 35.6%, from Ps.45 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 (of which Ps.27 million are attributable to the Shopping Malls segment; Ps.10 million to the Offices segment; and Ps.8 million to the Sales and Developments Segment of the Operations Center in Argentina) to Ps.29 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 (of which Ps.23 million are attributable to the Shopping Malls segment and Ps.6 million to the Offices segment).
 
Revenue from inter-segment operations remained unchanged for the periods presented.
 
Based on the segment information (taking into account revenue from our joint ventures and without considering the revenues corresponding to the expenses and Collective Promotion Fund or inter-segments revenue), revenue increased by Ps.4,325 million, from Ps.22,448 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.26,773 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 (of which Ps.22,149 million derived from the Operations Center in Israel and Ps.4,624 million come from the Operations Center in Argentina). Excluding income from the Operations Center in Israel, revenue by segment increased by 11.8% during the period.
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
Shopping Malls. Revenues from the Shopping Malls segment decreased by 6.7% from Ps.2,939 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.2,741 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. This decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease of Ps.217 million in revenues from base and variable rents as a result of a 12.5% decrease in our tenants’ total sales, which decreased from Ps.33,861 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.29,620 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018, slightly offset by extraordinary revenues of Ps.88.4 million as compensation for the termination of the Walmart least at the Dot Baires Shopping.
 
Offices. Revenues from the Offices segment increased by 42.9% from Ps.382 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.546 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. This increase is mainly a result of the 45% increase in rental revenues, from Ps.361 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.522 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018, mainly due to the depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. dollar.
 
Sales and Developments. Revenues from the Sales and Developments segment registered a decrease of 29.1%, from Ps.86 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.61 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. This segment often varies significantly from period to period due to the unpredictable nature of completed sales over time. This decrease is due to the reduction in sales of apartment units and parking lots at the Beruti property, partially offset by the sale of San Mart’n de Tours properties and the recognition of the sale to Globant of the Catalinas properties.
 
Hotels. Revenues from our Hotels segment increased by 30.6% from Ps.725 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.947 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018, mainly due to an increase in the average room rate of our hotel portfolio (measured in pesos). There was also an increase in revenues from the Qatar event and the G-20 event.
 
International. Revenues from our International segment increased by 100% - there were no revenues during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 - to Ps.279 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018, due to the sale of the Zetol and RES LLC properties.
 
Corporate. Revenues from our Corporate segment did not present variations for the periods presented.

Others. Revenue from our Others segment increased by 1,150.0%, from Ps.4 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.50 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. These are mainly due to the 80% increase in rental income at La Adela during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 and revenues from events organized by Entertainment Holding S.A.
 
Operations Center in Israel
 
Real estate. Revenues from the Real estate segment increased from Ps.3,723 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.6,020 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. This variation was due to (i) a 66% nominal revaluation of the NIS compared to the Argentine peso which, considering the adjustment for inflation and the restatement of the comparative balances, shows a 17% real revaluation, (ii) an increase in the rentable square meters, (iii) an increase in the average price per square meter leased properties and (iv) the impact of adoption of IFRS 15.
 
Telecommunications. Revenues from the Telecommunications segment increased from Ps.14,088 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.15,641 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. This variation was due to a 66% nominal revaluation of the NIS compared to the Argentine peso which, considering the adjustment for inflation and the restatement of the comparative balances, shows a 17% real revaluation, partially offset by the constant erosion in the revenues of mobile telecommunications services which was partially offset by an increase in revenues related to fixed lines, television and internet services.
 
Others. Revenues from the Others segment decreased from Ps.501 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.488 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018. This variation was due to (i) a 66% nominal revaluation of the NIS compared to the Argentine peso which, considering the adjustment for inflation and the restatement of the comparative balances, shows a 17% real revaluation and (ii) the decrease in income of Bartan and Epsilon.
 
Costs
 
Total consolidated costs, as recorded in the income statement, registered an increase of Ps.2,862 million, from Ps.13,421 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 to Ps.16,283 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2018 (of which Ps.14,305 million derived from the Operations Center in Israel and Ps.1,978 million from the Operations Center in Argentina). Excluding costs from the Operations Center in Israel, costs decreased by 9.8% during the period.
