Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

and ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and June 30, 2006

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a consequence of the application of the unifying accounting standards aproved by the Comisión Nacional de Valores (C.N.V.), which require that consolidated Financial Statements be presented as established by Technical Resolution No. 21 of the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (F.A.C.P.C.E.), the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the Statements of Income and the Statements of Cash Flows for the six-month periods then ended were consolidated on a line by line basis with the financial statements of such companies in which it holds a majority of the voting shares. Additionally, proportional consolidation has been applied for investments in which it has joint control (see Notes 1.b and 1.c to the basic financial statements).

The Company also applied Technical Resolution No. 21 as concerns the proportional consolidation with Cactus Argentina S.A. on a 50% basis on account of the joint control held, and applied the same percentage for elimination of balances existing between them.

The financial statements of the subsidiary companies Inversiones Ganaderas S.A., Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A., Agropecuaria Cervera S.A. and Cactus Argentina S.A. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 have been used in order to determine the investment at its equity value, line by line consolidation and proportional consolidation.

For purposes of comparability, certain reclassifications have been made on the information as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

These Financial Statements and the corresponding notes and schedules are presented in Argentine Pesos.

NOTE 8: “EXAGRIND S.A. – ESTANCIA SAN RAFAEL AGAINST TALI SUMAJ AND OTHER DAMAGES AND LOSSES” LAWSUIT

Exagrind S.A. has filed a lawsuit against Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. (IGSA) on claims for damages and losses produced by a fire in Estancia San Rafael, which is close to Tali Sumaj, Province of Catamarca. The fire took place on September 6, 2000.

The estimated amount of the legal action is Ps. 2,914,000 at the date the claim was filed.

In turn, IGSA filed an extraordinary appeal with the High Court of the Province of Catamarca, requesting to be given the remainder term to answer the lawsuit as, at the time of revoking the first instance judge decision that postponed the terms to answer until a new notice was dispatched, such period had not yet expired. The management of IGSA is awaiting the decision of the Court of Cassation.

NOTE 9: ACQUISITIONS AND SALES OF FARMS

On August 28, 2006, IGSA signed a preliminary sale contract of 1,800 hectares of the establishment called “El Recreo” of its property, in the amount of US$ 0.3 million. As advance payment the Company has received US$ 0.05 million. This sale has not been shown in the Financial Statement as the property of the land has not yet been transferred.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

and the year ended June 30, 2005

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Below is a description of the most relevant accounting standards used by the Company in the preparation of these Financial Statements, which have been applied on a consistent basis from the previous period.

 

  a. Presentation standards

These financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos, and have been prepared in accordance with the disclosure and valuation accounting standards contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.), as approved, with resolutions issued by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A.) and the Comisión Nacional de Valores (C.N.V.).

 

  b. Unifying of accounting standards

On July 8, 2006, the F.A.C.P.C.E. and the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A. entered into an agreement with the purpose of unifying technical standards. The latter council issued Resolution CD 93/05 on August 10, 2005 adopting the accounting standards approved by the former including the changes up to April 1, 2005.

The standards referred to above became effective for annual or interim periods financial statements of years commenced on January 1, 2006. On the other hand, the C.N.V. has adopted the same standards including certain modifications, and has also established their applicability for the years started as from January 1, 2006 as well.

The changes introduced due to the unifying of accounting standards that have generated significant effects on the Company’s financial statements are:

 

   

In accordance with the new accounting standards, the Company has decided not to recognize the deferred liabilities generated by the adjustment for inflation on fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. Consequently, additional information on this issue is stated in Note 6.

 

   

The balance of the “Transitory Convertion Differences” account has to be shown in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity as from the time the unifying accounting standards became effective.

The financial statements for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 have not been audited. The Company’s management estimates that such statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the income accounts of each period, which do not necessarily show the proportion of the Company’s profits and losses for the entire periods.

 

  c. The effects of inflation

The financial statements have been prepared in constant currency units by recognizing the effects of inflation up to August 31, 1995. As from this date and up to December 31, 2001 the restatement of the financial statements has been discontinued due to that period of monetary stability. As from January 1, 2002 and up to March 2003 the effects of inflation were recognized as it was an inflationary period. As from such date, in line with Resolution 441 issued on

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

April 8, 2003 by the National Securities Commission, the Company discontinued the restatement of its financial statements. This criterion does not agree with the terms of Resolution MD 941/2003 of the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires (CPCECABA), by which the restatement of financial statements was discontinued as from October 1, 2003. As of December 31, 2006, this change has not generated any significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

  d. Comparative Information

For comparison purposes, certain reclassifications have been made as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  a. Use of estimates

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

 

  b. Local currency assets and liabilities

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

 

  c. Foreign currency assets and liabilities

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency have been valued at the amount of such currency as of the date of the financial statements, converted at the buying and selling exchange rate, respectively, prevailing at period-end.

 

  d. Temporary investments

The units of ownership of common investment funds, the mortgage certificates, nobacs and bonds were valued at quotation value at year-end net of sales expenses. Temporary investments do not exceed their recoverable value at the date of the financial statements.

 

  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.

These transitory differences result from the exchange differences shown in the conversion of the financial statements of BrasilAgro from brazilian reais to Argentine pesos.

 

  q. Results for the period

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

Inventory holding gains or losses are disclosed in one line in the Income Statement and in Schedule F and are calculated as explained in note 2.j.5.

Cost of sales is calculated by inventory difference and the results of cattle, crops and milk productions are disclosed in the Income Statement.

  r. Income Tax

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

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

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

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

NOTE 12: (Continued)

These shares were placed in conjunction with the Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse (Brasil) S.A. in the Brazilian market by applying an investment mechanism ruled by the control authorities and with a sales effort abroad, all in compliance with the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and other regulations established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The amount initially offered amounted to 432 million Reais, equivalent to 432,000 common registered shares of 1,000 Reais per share of BrasilAgro.

In accordance with the practice of the Brazilian market, BrasilAgro had an option to increase the size of the issue by 20% and Credit Suisse Investment Bank had another option for increasing the issue by 15% (Green shoe). As the placement had demand in excess, both BrasilAgro and Credit Suisse exercised such option up to 583,200 shares equivalent to Reais 583.2 million, which were fully placed.

In addition to the funds originally contributed Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. made contributions during the offer for a total amount of Reais 42.4 million (approximately US$ 20.6 million). In line with such contribution Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. has a total of 42,705 shares equivalent to 7.3% of BrasilAgro capital.

As a contribution for having founded the company, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. received 104,902 purchase options to subscribe additional BrasilAgro shares for 15 years at no cost and at the same price of the original offer of shares that is Reais 1,000 adjusted by the IPCA inflation index. Should such option be exercised, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. will be able to acquire 59,850 additional shares and its holding would then be 14.1% of BrasilAgro diluted capital stock. These options may be exercised as follows: a third part as from the first anniversary of the placement, another third as from the second year and the balance as from the third year.

In addition, Cresud received with no cost a second series of options totaling 104,902, which can only be exercised at the option of Cresud whenever a third party makes an offer to purchase the BrasilAgro shares. The exercise price of these options will be the same price as the purchase offer referred to in the previous paragraph. The second series of options matures in year 2021.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company has not registered any value for the holding of such options.

In order to finance the investment in Brazil, on May 2, 2006, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. obtained a US$ 8 million loan from Credit Suisse, for a 30 months term accruing interest at the three months LIBOR rate plus 375 basic points. This loan had been initially secured by means of a swap operation with Convertible Negotiable Obligations of IRSA in a total amount of US$ 10 million, which were later replaced by 1,834,860 ADRs of IRSA plus an amount in US dollars that fluctuates according to IRSA´s share price.

NOTE 12: (Continued)

BrasilAgro has acquired two first properties in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

The country estate called “Sao Pedro” located in Chapadao do Sul (MS) covering 2,443 hectares was purchased for U$S 4.7 million. This country estate is located 1,000 km far from one of the main ports, and it was acquired at a significant lesser price than the average in the region. The area´s potential production is 1,740 hectares and we believe that the land will be highly appreciated due to the sugar cane installations estimated in the region.

The country estate “Cremaq” is located in Bahia Grande do Riberio (Piaui). This property was acquired for U$S 19.7 million and it covers 23,375 hectares, 3,000 of which are already in production and 16,000 hectares have been cleared. The estimated production area will probably cover 23,000 hectares. “Cremaq” is close to the Itaqui port and to the Norte-Sul railway. Both the weather and the landscape are highly attractive for sowing, especially soy, corn and cotton. This land was also acquired at a lesser price than the average of the area and it has a high appreciation potential.

The country estate “Engenho” is located in Maracaju, state of Mato Grosso do Sul. This property was acquired for US$ 4,7 million and it covers 2,022 hectareas. Actually this property has been leasing and generate for the company equivalent amount of 7,5 or 8 year´s tons of sugar cane for hectares. The Company is planning to develop the production of sugar cane, once the current leasing contracts are expired.

NOTE 13: STOCK OPTION PLAN

As resolved upon at the General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting at second call held on November 19, 2001 and in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors at its meeting dated December 7, 2001, the shareholders approved a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) relating to the shares that would remain after the shareholders exercised their pre-emptive rights to acquire treasury stock (the “Shares”) during a 30-day period covering 4,614,643 shares.

The stock balance remaining after expiration of the preemptive and accretion periods is intended to be offered under the Incentive Plan approved at the above mentioned Shareholders’ Meeting, at Ps. 1 (one peso) par value, plus interest accrued as from actual exercise at a six-month LIBOR rate per annum.

In accordance with the terms approved at the referred Shareholders’ Meeting, from a legal standpoint the implementation of the Plan is made by means of the transfer of the Shares in trust. From this balance, two thirds of the options relating to the Shares under the Plan were allocated for distribution by the Company’s Board of Directors among certain executive officers. The remaining third was set aside for allotment by the Company’s Board of Directors among any employees or executives at the time of allotment and 6 (six) months after the initial allotment, and up to 3 (three) months before the expiration of the exercise period.

In January 2002 an aggregate of 2,353 shares of Ps. 1 par value each were issued under the preferred offering of treasury stock.

COMPENSATIONS BY THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT TO FINANCIAL ENTITIES AS A RESULT OF THE ASYMMETRIC “PESIFICATION”

The National Government, through Decree 905, provided for the issuance of “National Government Compensating Bonds”, to compensate financial entities for the adverse equity effects generated due to the conversion into pesos, under various exchange ratios, of the credits and obligations denominated in foreign currency as established by Law 25,561, Decree 214 and addenda. Decree 905 also provided for covering the negative difference in the net position of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities resulting from its translation into pesos as established by the above-mentioned regulations, and entitled the Argentine Republic Central Bank to determine the pertinent rules.

After several submissions, Banco Hipotecario S.A. submitted the last presentation as regards sections 28 and 29 of Decree 905 - Compensation to Financial Entities, as follows:

 

  - National Government Compensation Bond - US$ 2012 (section 29, points b, c and d): compensating bond – difference between “pesified” assets and liabilities at $ 1.00 for the rate of exchange difference of $ 0.40, translated at $ 1.40 per US$ dollar: US$ 360,811.

 

  - National Government Compensation Bond coverage - US$ 2012 (section 29 point e). Coverage bond – difference between assets and liabilities in US dollars net of the compensating bond: US$ 832,827.

In September 2002 and October 2005, the Argentine Central Bank credited US$ 344,050 and US$ 16,761 in BODEN 2012 respectively, for compensation.

NOTE 16: (Continued)

EXPOSURE TO THE NON-FINANCIAL PUBLIC SECTOR

Banco Hipotecario S.A. keeps recorded in its financial statements assets with the Non-Financial Public Sector amounting to $ 3,515,250. On the other hand, liabilities to the Argentine Central Bank recorded as of September 30, 2006 amount to $ 166,931 being the credit balance related to advances to subscribe BODEN 2012 in line with sections 28 and 29 of Decree 905/02.

The net exposure with the Public Sector, without considering liquid assets in accounts authorized by the Argentine Central Bank, amount to $ 3,348,319 and $ 2,584,169 as of September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively.

Banco Hipotecario S.A. intends to allocate assets portfolio of the Public Sector as guarantee for the application of the advancement to finance the coverage bonds subscription, as provided for in section 29 of Decree 905/02.

As from January 1, 2006, the dispositions of point 12 of Communication “A” 3911 (Communication “A” 4455) became effective, as regards that the assistance to the Public Sector (average measured) cannot exceed 40% of total Assets of the last day of the previous month. Through Communication “A” 4546 of July 9, 2006, it was established that as from July 1, 2007, such limit was modified to 35%.

The exposure of Banco Hipotecario S.A. to the Public Sector originated in compensations granted by the National Government as a result of year 2002 crisis, principally related to the asymmetric “pesification” of assets and liabilities.

To such extent and considering that assets to the Public Sector exceed the mentioned limit (representing 39% and 49%, approximately, of Assets as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively), as of January 19, 2006, Banco Hipotecario S.A. reported to the Argentine Central Bank that it will gradually decrease the proportion of assets subject to the exposure to the Public Sector, in line with the amortization and cancellation made by the Government of the bonds received for asymmetric compensation in the currency of issuance. To date, no objections to this issue have been received.

NOTE 17: FINANCIAL LOANS

In line with the outstanding investment opportunities that became definite during the last year, such as our participation in BrasilAgro, and the acquisition of land and the develop investments in Norwest zone during the current year. The company contracted debt in higher levels than those incurred in previous years. As of December 31, 2006 our debt, without considering our convertible negotiable obligations, amounts to Ps. 102.4 million.

On analyzing the breakdown of such debt, we note the Credit Suisse loan to finance our investment in BrasilAgro for Ps. 24.5 million (Note 12b) and Ps. 17.4 million to finance our crop production, the remaining balance, Ps. 59.8 million, are concentrated in the short-term.

Our aim for next year will be to adjust these maturities so as to generate cash in the Company, without putting aside a reduction of debt in line with future cash income arising from the regular business trend, the sale of assets or due to exercising options adhered to our convertible negotiable obligations.

Such funds will be freely redeemed under the requirement of the participants. The funds arising from the Company contributions will flow to other independent financial means separated from the previous one.

Buenos Aires, February 12, 2007 - Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (Nasdaq: CRESY – BCBA: CRES), one of the leading agricultural companies in Argentina, announced today its results for the first six-month period of fiscal year 2007, ended December 31, 2006.

The results for the first six-month period of fiscal year 2007 showed a net profit of Ps. 17.0 million compared to the Ps. 23.9 million profit for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Consolidated net sales for the period showed Ps. 41.4 million, 24.3% lower than consolidated net sales for the same period of the previous year.

The decrease in net results and net sales is basically attributable to a decrease in the tons of crops sold, mainly due to the fact that a significant part of the production was sold during the last weeks of June 2006, leaving a lesser available stock for the current period.

For this same reason, gross profit for the six-month period of fiscal year 2007 was Ps. 5.9 million as compared to Ps. 10.0 million gross profit for the same period of the previous year.

Operating results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2006 showed a Ps. 0.4 million loss, as compared to the Ps. 14.7 million profit for the same period of the previous fiscal year. This difference is mainly attributable to a Ps. 9.9 million profit recorded in the prior fiscal year as a result of the sale of “El Gualicho” farm.

Results from related companies showed a Ps. 23.0 million profit, recording a 200% increase as compared to the same period of fiscal year 2006, mainly due to our interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. as of December 31, 2006.

Summary of operations

Crops

Crops sales totaled Ps. 13.2 million for this six month period, as compared to Ps. 28.9 million crop sales for the previous period. Crops sales amounted to 31,256 tons at an average price per ton of Ps. 423.5 compared to 86.347 tons sold at an average price of Ps. 335 during the same period of the previous fiscal year. The decrease in tons sold is mainly due to that a significant part of the production was sold in the last weeks of June 2006, leaving a lesser available stock for the current period. However, the average price increase per ton of more than 25% should be highlighted.

At December 31, 2006, 100% of the 7,107 hectares sown with wheat had been harvested. Corn, sunflower and soybean crops have also been showing a satisfactory performance.

Our crop stock, mainly made up by 12,905 tons of wheat and 816 tons of corn, totaled 14,481 tons at the end of the six-month period. The rest pertains to soybean, peas and sorghum.

In the period ended December 31, 2006, the gross results in this segment were a Ps. 3.4 million loss compared to a Ps. 3.5 million profit for the same period of the previous fiscal year. The decrease is basically due to the fact that 90% of our crops have not been harvested yet, and so the results thereof shall be recorded in the next semester.

In the current season, our agricultural activities extend over 48,015 hectares, 25,307 of which were leased from third parties. The total number of hectares devoted to agricultural activities has risen by 10,993 compared to the previous year, mainly as a result of the increase in land leased from third parties.

Beef Cattle

At December 31 2006, the Company had a 95,010-head cattle stock. The total surface area devoted to beef cattle activities was 119,361 hectares.

Livestock sales decreased by 10.8% compared to the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 17.3 million at December 31, 2005 to Ps. 15.4 million at December 31, 2006. During the first six-month period of the current fiscal year, sales totaled 6,696 tons, compared to 7,792 tons sold in the first six-month period of fiscal year 2006, showing a 14% decrease.

Gross profit in the cattle beef segment was Ps. 3.5 million, compared to Ps. 2.6 million for the first six-month period of the previous fiscal year, generating a 35% improvement.

Cattle beef production was 5.200 tons, showing a 14.7% increase as compared to the previous fiscal year.

Milk

Milk production increased by 13.1% in the six-month period, from 7.9 million liters at December 31, 2005 to 8.9 million liters at December 31, 2006.

Gross profit as of December 31, 2006 amounted to Ps. 1.9 million, maintaining the same level recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Although the price per liter of milk kept steady, milk production rose in a greater proportion, so the sales for the six-month period totaled Ps. 4.6 million, showing a 7.6% increase as compared to the same semester of fiscal year 2006.

At present, the Company has two dairy farms: “El Tigre”, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and “La Juanita”, where the feeding system is mainly pasture-based (implying lower costs).

The Company is making investments in the premises of a second dairy farm at La Juanita; the works are expected to be finished by mid-March 2007. This would be the second dairy farm at La Juanita, with a capacity to milk 1,200 cows per day. Productive capacity of this farm is expected to rise approximately by 24,000 liters per day, thereby generating more than 40,000 liters of milk per day.

Feed Lot

The Company has a 50% equity interest in Cactus Argentina S.A., which in turn operates a 170-hectare Feed Lot in the province of San Luis; during the six-month period ended December 31, 2006, the Feed Lot continued to play a key role in our Company’s cattle beef production, thereby consolidating its growth.

Cactus Argentina S.A.’s gross profit for the six-month period was Ps. 0.9 million, showing a 31% decrease as compared to the same semester of the previous fiscal year. Net result for the same period amounted to Ps. 0.2 million profit, maintaining the same level recorded in the six-month period ended December 31, 2005.

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

Furthermore, the recent association with Tyson foods Inc. constitutes the first Argentine livestock vertically integrated project, which shall produce beef cattle cuts for the Argentine consumer and shall have access to the European market and other international markets.

Purchase and sale of farms

In September 2005, we signed the title deed for the acquisition of “San Pedro”, a 6,022-hectare farm located in the Department of Concepción del Uruguay, province of Entre Ríos. The purchase price was agreed at US$16.0 million, of which US$9.5 million were paid upon execution of the title deed, US$4.0 million were canceled on December 14, 2005, and US$1.05 were cancelled on September 1, 2006. The remaining US$1.4 million matures in September 2007.

Development of marginal lands

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

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, development efforts continued at our “Los Pozos” farm located in the province of Salta, where 32,000 hectares have already been prepared for agricultural and/or livestock activities. A further 32,000 hectares continue to be developed.

Furthermore, 5,700 hectares of Cervera Agropecuaria have been prepared for production activities, and a further 30,000 hectares continue to be developed.

At December 31, 2006, Cresud’s land reserves amounted in the aggregate to 250,722 hectares, which had been acquired at very low prices. In our opinion, the development of these areas, accompanied by technological breakthroughs will contribute to appreciate the value of land which will in turn imply significant gains for the Company.

Investments in other companies

Cresud, through its subsidiary Cactus Argentina S.A., together with Tyson Foods, Inc. and Cactus Fedeers Inc, has commenced an entrepreneurship in Argentina that will be the first Argentine livestock vertically integrated project.

Therefore, the capital stock of Cactus Argentina is comprised as follows: Cactus Feeders Inc. 24%; Cresud SACIF y A 24%; and Tyson (through Provemex Holdings LLP) 52%.

This development will produce cattle beef cuts for the Argentine consumer and shall have access to the European market and other international markets.

Cactus and Cresud have successfully operated the feed lot located in Villa Mercedes, San Luis, since 1999. Actually, the feed lot can lodge 25,000 heads, but the capacity shall be enlarged during this new stage. Furthermore, Cactus Argentina has acquired a slaughter house “Exportaciones Agroindustriales Argentina S.A.” located in Santa Rosa, La Pampa. Such plant can process 9,500 heads per month, but can be expanded up to 15,000 head per month with a limited capital investment. The plant is fully licensed to export to the European Union and other international markets.

Cresud’s ability in the agricultural and livestock market, Cactus experience in the feedlot business and Tyson’s success in the production and marketing of beef cattle shall create a new leading company that will produce beef cuts both for the domestic and foreign market.

Expansion to Brazil

On May 2, 2006, BrasilAgro –Compañía Brasileira de Propriedades Agrícolas- shares began to be listed on Novo Mercado de la Bolsa de Valores Brasileña (BOVESPA) under the symbol AGRO3 meeting the highest standards of the Brazilian Government. Shares were paid in and subscribed for an aggregate amount of Reales 42.4 million (approximately US$20.6 million). As from such subscription, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. holds an aggregate number of 42,705 shares, equal to 7.3% of BrasilAgro’s equity. As consideration for founding the company, Cresud S.A.C.I.F y A. received, at no cost, 104,902 purchase options to subscribe additional shares of BrasilAgro during 15 years at the same price offered in the initial offering, i.e. Reales 1,000 adjusted by the IPCA inflation index. In the event of exercise of the option, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. may acquire 59,850 additional shares, increasing to 14.1% its interest in BrasilAgro’s diluted capital. The third part of this option may be exercised upon the second anniversary, and the balance upon the third anniversary.

Furthermore, Cresud received, at no cost, a second series of options for an aggregate of 104,902, which may be exercised at the election of Cresud in the event that a third party makes an offer to acquire the BrasilAgro shares. The exercise price of these options shall be the same price of the acquisition offer mentioned above. The second series of options matures on 2021. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has not recorded any amount in connection with the holding of such options.

BrasilAgro continues to acquire properties. On December 2006, the company added the “Engenho” farm to the ones recently acquired (“Sao Pedro”, located at Chapadao do Sul (MS) with an area of 2,443 hectares and “Cremaq”, located at Bahía Grande do Ribeiro (Piauui) with an area of 32,375 hectares). “Engenho” is located in Maracaju, state of Mato Grosso do Sul and has an area of 2,022 hectares. The real property was acquired for Reales 10.1 million (approximately US$4.7 million1). Currently, the property is operated under a lease agreement by the factory Maracaju which will provide the company with 7.5 or 8 tons of sugar cane per hectare per year. The company expects to develop sugar cane activities upon the termination of the lease agreements.

BrasilAgro will continue to focus its activities on the el agricultural Real Estate and on the development of its four main business lines: sugar cane; crops and cotton; forestry and livestock.

Internet

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

At present, Futuros y Opciones.com S.A. has a database of 60,000 users and more than 7,000 farmers authorized to carry out business. The strategy implemented consists in focusing on business services to farmers by leveraging on Cresud’s experience and operating capacity in the business, with Fyo.com being the link with customers.

During the period ended December 31, 2006, Futuros y Opciones.com S.A. posted income for Ps. 2 million, 40% higher than the income for the same period of the previous fiscal year. Net results for the period were a Ps. 0.05 million profit, as compared to the Ps. 0.26 million loss for the same period in fiscal year 2006.

4. In accordance with current regulations, we report that:
