Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

Corresponding to the periods beginning as from July 1, 2004 and 2003

and ended on September 30, 2004 and 2003

 

NOTE 1: STANDARDS ACCOUNTING

 

  a. Presentation standards

 

These financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos, and have been prepared in accordance with the disclosure and valuation accounting standards contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas, as approved, with certain amendments, by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires and the Comisión Nacional de Valores.

 

  b. New Accounting Standards

 

The Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires enacted the following technical resolutions: N° 16: “Conceptual regime for professional accounting regulations”; N° 17: “Professional accounting regulations: development of matters of general application”, N° 18: “Professional accounting regulations: development of some matters of particular application” and N° 19 “ Modifications to technical resolutions N° 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 14” and N° 20 “Derivative instruments and hedging transactions”, through Resolutions C 238/01, C 243/01,C 261/01, C 262/01 and C 187/02, respectively; establishing that such technical resolutions and the modifications incorporated, will be in force for fiscal years initiated as from July 1, 2002 (other than Technical Resolution No. 20, which shall become effective for fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2003).

 

The Comisión Nacional de Valores, through Resolution N° 434/03 has adopted such technical resolutions with some exceptions and modifications, which have been in force for fiscal years initiated as from January 1, 2003.

 

Additionally, the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, enacted Technical Resolution N° 21 “Proportional value- merge of financial statements- information to provide on related parties” through Resolution M.D. N° 5/2003. Furthermore, The Comisión Nacional de Valores has adopted such Technical Resolution, through Resolution Nª 459/04 introducing some modifications, which will be in force for fiscal years started as from April 1, 2004, consequently the Company has considered their application.

 

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

 

Financial statements corresponding to the three month economic periods ended to September 30, 2004 and 2003 have not been audited yet. The management believes they include all necessary settlements to reasonably show the results of each period. Results for the three month economic periods ended to September 30, 2004 and 2003 do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the company’s result for such complete years.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  c. Accounting for inflation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Resolution M.D. 3/02 of the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, which has established the application of Technical Resolution No. 6, as amended by Technical Resolution No. 19 of the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas, as from fiscal years or interim periods ended on or after March 31, 2002.

 

On March 25, 2003, the Poder Ejecutivo Nacional issued Decree No. 664 establishing that financial statements for fiscal years ended as from that date should be stated in nominal currency. Therefore, in accordance with Resolution No. 441 issued by the Comisión Nacional de Valores on April 8, 2003, the Company discontinued restatement of its financial statements effective March 1, 2003. This criteria does not comply with Resolution M.D. 041/2003, enacted by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, by means of which the restatement of financial statements as of October 1, 2003 is no longer compulsory. However, as of September 30, 2004, this deviation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

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

 

The coefficients prepared based on the domestic wholesale price index have been applied for purposes of the abovementioned restatement of comparative information.

 

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The principal valuation and disclosure criteria for the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a basis consistent with respect to the last fiscal period.

 

  a. Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

Estimates are used when accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes, deferred liabilities and allowances for contingencies, accrual for expenses and assets’ recoverable value. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

  b. Local currency assets and liabilities

 

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

 

  c. Foreign currency assets and liabilities

 

Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at the official rate of exchange in effect at September 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

  d. Temporary investments

 

Investments of funds in foreign currency were valued at their placement value plus interest accrued at year-end at the buyer exchange rate quoted by Banco Nación at the fiscal period-end closing date.

 

Mutual funds and notes are carried at market value as of period-end.

 

Temporary investments do not exceed their recoverable value estimated at fiscal period-end.

 

  e. Trade accounts receivable and payable

 

Trade accounts receivable and payable have been valued at their cash price estimated at the time of the transaction, plus interest and implied financial components accrued on the basis of the internal rate of return determined at such time, provided they are significant.

 

  f. Credits and loans

 

Credits and loans have been valued in accordance with the sum of money delivered and received, respectively, net of transaction costs, plus financial results accrued on the basis of the rate estimated at such time as of period-end. Credits and loans in foreign currency have been valued at their amount in such currency at the fiscal period-end closing date, converted to the buyer and seller exchange rate, respectively, prevailing at the fiscal period-end closing date.

 

  g. Futures and Options

 

Futures relate to cereal commitments deliverable at a previously agreed price (see Note 4) and are carried at market value at fiscal period-end. Options correspond to premiums collected or paid and have been valued at their market value (see Note 4) at the closing of the period.

Consolidated financial statements with Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. and Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A. at September 30, 2004 and 2003 are presented as complementary information.

 

Current valuations and economic conditions reduce the risks inherent to long-term investment opportunities and increase the possibility of obtaining significant return in the long term. In view of these circumstances: (i) the value of the investment was set at market value; (ii) the value of the investment was calculated by the equity method of accounting; and (iii) the difference between (i) and (ii) was recognized as negative goodwill to be amortized over 20 years.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

As of September 30, 2004, the Company recorded as negative goodwill the difference between the prices of conversions of warrants into IRSA’s shares and the value assigned according to the calculation of the proportional equity value. In such negative goodwill the impact of IRSA’s results from third-party dilutions resulting from the exercise of conversion and warrants for shares will be recognized. Therefore, such amount will not be subject to amortization.

 

  2. Other Investments

 

  Investments in debt securities

 

IRSA’s Convertible Bonds were valued taking into account the amount existing at period-end in dollars, at the sellers’ exchange rate plus interest accrued as of the closing date of these financial statements.

 

  Other investments

 

The remaining investments correspond to non-listed securities, which were valued at their restated cost as of February 28, 2003 (Note 1.c.).

 

  Goodwill

 

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

 

Depreciation is calculated in accordance with the estimated useful life, which is 5 years and has been classified under Result from interest in subsidiaries and related companies in the statement of income.

 

  l. Fixed assets

 

  Purchase value:

 

Valued at cost restated into period-end currency applying the coefficients mentioned in Note 1. c., based on the corresponding dates of origin.

 

  Depreciation

 

Calculated by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as from the period of addition.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

  m. Shareholders’ equity

 

Initial balances have been restated into period-end currency following the criteria set forth in Note 1.c. Movements for the period are recorded at their historical values.

 

  n. Results for the period

 

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

 

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

 

  o. Income Tax

 

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

 

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

 

  p. Tax on minimum hypothetical income

 

The Company determines the tax on minimum hypothetical income applying the prevailing rate of 1% on computable assets at fiscal period-end. This tax is supplementary to the income tax.

 

The Company’s tax liability for each period will be the higher of these two taxes. However, if the tax on minimum hypothetical income exceeds the income tax in any fiscal year, such excess may be computed as payment on account of the income tax that may be payable in any of the following ten fiscal years.

 

  q. Revenue recognition

 

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

Buenos Aires, November 10, 2004 - Cresud S.A.C.I.F.y A. Nasdaq: CRESY - BASE: CRES), one of the leading agricultural companies in Argentina, announces today the results corresponding to the first quarter Fiscal Year 2005 ended September 30, 2004.

 

Results for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2005 showed a net profit of Ps. 1.0 million as compared to a Ps. 2.0 million loss registered during the same period of the previous Fiscal Year.

 

The increase in the net result is a consequence of the higher results registered in our cattle stock holdings (generated by a stronger market value) and the performance of our share in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S. A. (NYSE: IRS) (BCBA: IRSA).

 

The operating result showed for the three month period ended on September 30, 2004 a Ps. 1.1 million profit, compared to a Ps. 1.4 million profit registered during the same period of the previous Fiscal Year.

 

Consolidated net sales for the period amounted Ps. 19.6 million, 60% higher than those registered during the same period of the previous Fiscal Year, mainly due to the higher volume of crops and cattle sold during the quarter.

 

Gross loss during the first three months of Fiscal Year 2005 amounted to Ps. 2.1 million as compared to Ps. 2.1 million gross profit registered during the same period of the previous Fiscal Year. The main cause of this reduction was the higher cost of the products sold (mainly crops and cattle) due to the higher market value of cattle. However this appreciation also generated positive holding results.

 

Furthermore, the rise in costs was generated by an increase in the amounts of cattle heads produced in our Cactus feed lot, where fattening costs are higher than the pasture based feeding system. However, the use of the feed lot allows the Company a higher rotation of the production, which is reflected in the rising amount of cattle sales.

 

Results from related companies generated a Ps. 4.6 million profit, mainly due to our 28% share ownership in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.

 

Summary of operations

 

Crops

 

During the quarter, the harvest corresponding to the 2003/2004 campaign was completed reaching a total production of 74,021 tons, of which 41 % corresponded to corn, 28% to soybean, 23% to wheat, 4% to sunflower and the rest to other crops.

 

Crop sales for the quarter amounted to Ps. 7.9 million as compared to Ps. 4.9 million registered during the previous year.

The volume of crops sold reached 19,350 tons at an average price of Ps. 410 per ton as compared to 12,230 tons sold at an average price of Ps. 401 per ton during the same quarter of the previous Fiscal Year.

 

Our crop stock at the closing of the quarter amounted to 16,267 tons of which 2,236 tons correspond to soybean and 13,226 to corn.

 

Gross loss corresponding to this segment for the quarter ended on September 30, 2004 resulted in a Ps. 1.9 million as compared to a Ps. 0.4 million gross profit registered during the same period of the previous Fiscal Year.

 

Forecasts for the price of crops are conservative due to substantial increases from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimations regarding the US production for the current campaign. However, the advance of Latin American harvests is yet unknown, since unfavorable climatic conditions would not satis Fiscal Year the growing global demand (mainly China) therefore affecting the final price.

Corn

   277    295    6.5 %

Soybean

   65.5    84.5    29.0 %

 

For the current campaign we have destined 35,370 hectares to agriculture, of which 15,664 hectares were leased from third parties. Compared to the previous year the total area destined to agriculture rose significantly 13,664 hectares, mainly due to the commencement of operations in El Tigre farm which increases own land under production and due to the greater surface leased from third parties.

 

Most of the land leases were agreed at a fixed price prior to harvest and only a small percentage was leased under crop sharing agreements.

 

The reason for the increase in the amount of land leased from third parties for Company’s production, is that after the drop in the price of crops, many farm owners decreased their economic pretensions, therefore allowing higher potential yields.

During the previous campaign, and in the face of the rise in the prices of productive land, the strategy adopted by the Company was not to follow market trends and only to lease land at prices which would allow the Company to obtain appropriate margins without speculating with the price commodities could reach in the future.

 

Beef Cattle

 

As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s cattle stock amounted to 94,348 heads (13% higher than at September 30, 2003) with 126,794 hectares destined to this activity.

 

Livestock sales increased significantly 84% from Ps. 5.5 million as of September 30, 2003 to Ps. 10.2 million as of September 30, 2004. During the quarter a total of 4,916 tons were sold, while during the first three months of Fiscal Year 2004 tons sold amounted to 3,048. The sustained increase which beef cattle prices have been experiencing was also determinant for increasing Company’s revenues within this business unit.

 

Gross loss for the cattle beef segment amounted to Ps. 1.1 million, as compared to Ps. 0.9 million profit registered during the first quarter of the previous Fiscal Year. This decrease in the profit was a consequence of the increase in the costs of the merchandise sold, due to the appreciation of cattle beef, which was higher to the increase in the value of the cattle sold.

 

Beef cattle production amounted 1,727 tons, representing a 17% decrease compared to the previous Fiscal Year, mainly due to a longer accumulated period with draughts in areas where most of our cattle stock production is located (north of Santa Fe and Chaco), generating higher feeding cots of the cattle.

Livestock prices had a favorable evolution during the course of the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2005. After the advance of the agriculture business over the cattle beef business, livestock offers experienced sever cuts, therefore helping to push up rising prices of livestock.

 

Additionally, there are promising perspectives for this market, mostly referring to reductions in commercial barriers worldwide, which would make for a better use of the cattle cuts and a higher final price for the cattle producer. September 2004, marked the anniversary of the appearance of the last foot and mouth disease focus within the country, shortly enabling the restoration of country free of foot and mouth disease status with vaccination on behalf of the Animal Health Organization (OIE), which will grant a plus when seeking new markets, such as the US and Canada, were initial correspondence has taken place.

 

Likewise, the price of livestock in Argentina could result in similar prices to those found in Uruguay (which is actually 36% above local prices) whose evolution after the opening of international markets had a positive outcome. In that sense, and in order to sustain its offer, Uruguay started importing livestock from Argentina, therefore arbitrating cattle markets.

 

Milk

 

Milk production decreased 18% during the quarter from 1.8 million liters as of September 30, 2003 to 1.5 million liters as of September 30, 2004.

 

However, gross profit as of September 30, 2004, increased to Ps. 0.3 million, 15% higher than the profit obtained during the same quarter of the previous Fiscal Year, mainly due to a reduction in the production costs deriving from a change to pasture based feeding systems for milking cows. Additionally, market prices for milking cows, experienced appreciations, generating positive stock holding results for the Company.

 

Currently the Company’s only dairy farm is located at La Juanita, where the feeding system is based solely on pastures. This feeding system, of lower cost, allows an enhancement of milk margins as compared to systems based on grains.

 

The milk business in Argentina went through severe oscillations during the course of time, from the euphoria of 1997 and 1998 to the 2001 crisis. Actually, with firm prices, this segment is once again attractive.

 

Coinciding with the foregoing, the Company is currently building a state of the art dairy farm facility. In this sense, it would increase the actual productive capacity in approximately 36,000 liters daily. We are forecasting for this business yields above those of the agriculture segment. The estimated investment in this project amounts US$ 1.0 million.

Clearing and development of marginal land

 

We believe that the business’s potential, as has happened in various countries worldwide, relies on the development of marginal land; using state of the art technology, yields comparable to those of the nucleus area can be obtained.

 

For the current campaign, to the 12,700 productive hectares destined to cattle in our Los Pozos farm, located in Salta, we have added 4,000 additional hectares, while 1,300 hectares are destined to agriculture.

 

Besides, clearing works on 6,000 additional hectares for cattle are being performed. Currently, Los Pozos’ farm shows the highest returns in the cattle business for the Company’s and is above the industry’s average.

 

Additionally, the 1,185 hectares already developed in our AgroRiego San Luis farm, located in the province of San Luis, for crop irrigation, will enter into production the current campaign.

 

Cresud’s land reserves amount to 263,000 hectares which were acquired at very low prices. We believe that with the development of these areas, together with proper technology, the value of land will rise generating interesting returns for the Company.

 

Sale of farms

 

At the end of Fiscal Year 2004 and commencement of Fiscal Year 2005 bills of sale for the farms Ñacurutu and San Enrique were signed which will result in profits for the Company amounting US$ 2.7 million and US$ 4,3 million respectively, thus positively impacting on future financial statements corresponding to the current Fiscal Year. The produce of such operations will suppose a yield close to 100 % in the first case and margin record of approximately 750 % in the second case. These transactions, besides confirming the excellent Company’s background regarding such operations, are clear examples of the hidden value of corporate assets.

 

Feed Lot

 

During the quarter, our 170-hectare Feed Lot, located in the province of San Luis, where the Company’s equity interest through Cactus Argentina S.A. is 50%, continued with high occupation levels.

 

Due to the consistent occupation level the Feed Lot has been registering quarter after quarter we plan the development of a second enterprise of similar characteristics.

The uniformity obtained in the final product of the feed lot cattle has granted buyers a high quality product, making its commercialization easy and obtaining higher prices at the moment of selling.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2004, Cactus Argentina S.A.’s net income amounted to Ps. 3,4 million, 25% lower than that registered during the same quarter of the previous Fiscal Year.

Results from IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.

 

The result derived from our equity interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S. A. (NYSE: IRS – BCBA: IRSA) showed a Ps. 4.4 million profit for the quarter compared to a Ps. 3.5 million loss as of September 30, 2003.

 

IRSA’s result was strongly influenced by an increase in the operative result which grew 83%, from Ps. 10.5 million for the first three months of Fiscal Year 2004 to Ps. 19.1 million for the same period of the current Fiscal Year, mainly due to the better performance of revenues, which grew 26% amounting Ps. 70.9 million compared to the previous Ps. 56.3 million. The following is the share of the different segments in revenues from net consolidated sales: sales and development Ps. 1.4 million, offices and other property for lease Ps. 4.3 million, shopping centers Ps. 45.3 million and hotels Ps. 19.8 million.

Unaudited Business Highlight (Continued)

 

At the light of such circumstances, Cresud decided to accompany exercising 5.0 million of IRSA Warrants held, amounting a total US$ 6.0 million, matching the situation described above. Concurrently, the Company maintains its long term strategy consolidating its share in IRSA, which presents excellent growth perspectives towards the future.

 

As of September 30, 2004, our equity interest in IRSA amounted to 28.3% of the shares outstanding. Additionally, we own US$ 45.3 million Convertible Notes issued by IRSA which have a Warrant attached to purchase additional shares of the Company. If both the Convertible Notes and Warrants are exercised like the rest of the other bearers, Cresud would own 41% of IRSA Equity. Currently, our equity interest in IRSA is valued through the proportional equity value method.

 

Other relevant highlights

 

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

 

At present, our debt under Convertible Notes, which originally was US$ 50,000,000, was reduced by US$ 6,996,986 as a consequence of the exercise of conversion rights.

 

Moreover, as of today, 6,714,134 Warrants have been exercised, resulting in an inflow of US$ 8.1 million in the Company.

 

In this way, considering all conversions and exercise of warrants, the number of outstanding Convertible Notes as of today has reached US$ 43,003,014 while the number of outstanding Warrants amounts to 43,285,866. 27,000,985 shares were issued, increasing the Company’s total number of outstanding shares to 151,050,377.

 

It should be noted that since the Company holds Convertible Bonds issued by IRSA for a total 45.3 million, which bear interest at the same rate as those issued by us, funds to be collected from our holding in IRSA exceeds from those required to cover payment of our Convertible Notes.

 

The following graphics show past, actual and potential situation in the future of the Convertible Notes issued by Cresud on November 14, 2002, under New York Law, at an interest rate of 8% (paid semiannually), due to November 14, 2007, which are convertible at a price of US$ 0.5078 per share of face value Ps. 1.00 (1.9693 shares of face value Ps. 1.00 per Note). Additionally, each Convertible Note holds a warrant which allows the holder to obtain for each Convertible Note 1.9693 shares, of face value Ps. 1.00, at a price of US$ 0.6093 for each.
