Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
NOTE 1: | (Continued) |
b. | Comparative Information |
Balance sheet items as of June 30, 2006 shown in these unaudited consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual consolidated financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.
The balances at December 31, 2006 of the unaudited Statements of Income, Changes in Shareholders´ Equity and Cash Flows are disclosed in comparative format with the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Certain amounts in the unaudited financial statements at December 31, 2005 were reclassified for disclosure on a comparative basis with those for the period ended December 31, 2006.
NOTE 2: | CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION |
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in constant monetary units, reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. From that date and until December 31, 2001 the government discontinued the restatement of the financial statements due to a period of monetary stability. From January 1, 2002 up to February 28, 2003 the effects of inflation were recognized due to the existence of an inflationary period. As from that date, the restatement of the financial statements was discontinued.
This criterion is not in line with current professional accounting standards, which establish that the financial statements should be restated through September 30, 2003. However, due to the low level of inflation rates during the period from March to September 2003, this deviation has not had a material effect on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
The rate used for restatement of items is the domestic wholesale price index published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.
NOTE 3: | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The unaudited financial statements of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1, have been prepared on a consistent basis with those applied by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima. The Note 1 to the unaudited basic financial statements details the most significant accounting policies applied and mentions the recently approved unification of accounting standards that will be applicable at the beginning of the next fiscal year. Below are the most relevant accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries, which are not included in that note.

NOTE 3: | (Continued) |
a. | Banco Hipotecario S.A. shares |
Banco Hipotecario S.A. shares were valued by using the equity method of accounting by the end of the period. See Note 1.5.i. to the unaudited basic financial statements.
b. | Revenue recognition |
The Companys revenues mainly stem from office leases, shopping center operations, development and sale of real estate and hotel operations.
| Leases and services from shopping center operations |
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Tenants are generally charged a rent, which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the Base Rent) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenants monthly gross sales (the Percentage Rent) (which generally ranges between 4% and 8% of tenants gross sales).
Furthermore, pursuant to the rent adjustment clause in most leases, the tenants Base Rent generally increases between 4% and 7% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of sales or based on a percentage of sales volume above a specified threshold. The Company determines the compliance with specific targets and calculates the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided for in the contracts. Thus, these contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.
Generally, the Companys lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months. Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial nine months, upon not less than 60 days written notice, subject to penalties which vary from one to one and a half months rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of its lease, and one month of rent if the tenant rescinds after the first year of its lease. Additionally, the Company monthly charges its tenants administration fees, which are prorated among the tenants according to their leases and varies from shopping center to shopping center, relating to the administration and maintenance of the common area and the administration of contributions made by tenants to finance promotional efforts for the overall shopping centers operations.

NOTE 3: | (Continued) |
b. | (Continued) |
Administration fees are recognized monthly when accrued. In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged admission rights, that tenants may be required to pay upon entering into a lease or upon lease renewal. Admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. Admission rights are recognized in earnings using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements.
| Credit card operations |
Revenues derived from credit card transactions include commissions and financing income, charges to users for life and disability insurance and statements of accounts. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants transactions are processed, while the remaining income is recognized at the time it is accrued.
| Hotel operations |
The Company recognizes revenues from its rooms, catering, and restaurant facilities as accrued on the close of each business day.
Net operating results from each business unit are disclosed in Note 4.
c. | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets are carried at cost restated as mentioned in Note 2, less accumulated amortization and corresponding allowances for impairment in value. Included in the Intangible Assets caption are the following:
| Trademarks |
Trademarks include the expenses and fees related to their registration.
| Pre-operating expenses |
This item reflects expenses generated by the opening of new shopping malls restated as mentioned in Note 2. Those expenses are amortized by the straight-line method in 3 years, beginning as from the date of opening of the shopping center.

NOTE 3: | (Continued) |
c. | (Continued) |
| Property development expenses |
Expenses incurred related to the selling of development properties, including advertising, commissions and other expenses, are charged to net income for the period in which the corresponding income is accrued, based on the percentage of completion method.
The value of these assets does not exceed its estimated recoverable value at the end of each period.
d. | Goodwill |
Negative goodwill represents the excess of the market value of net assets of the subsidiaries at the percentage participation acquired over the acquisition cost. Goodwill has been restated following the guidelines mentioned in Note 2 and amortization has been calculated by the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life, considering the weighted-average of the remaining useful life of identifiable assets acquired subject to depreciation.
Additionally, also included was the goodwill from the subsidiary APSA, originating from the purchase of shares of Tarshop S.A., Fibesa S.A., Panamerican Mall S.A., Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. EMPALME and Emprendimiento Recoleta S.A., which is amortized through the straight-line method over a period that not exceeds 10 years.
The goodwill for the acquisition of the controlled companies Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. (Empalme) and Palermo Invest S.A. has been valued at cost, calculated as difference between the value paid for such investment and the book value of the participation acquired. The Company is currently analyzing the current value of assets and liabilities acquired in line with Technical Resolution No. 21.
Amortization has been classified under Amortization of goodwill in the Unaudited Statements of Income.
NOTE 4: | OPERATING INCOME BY BUSINESS UNIT |
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Companys method of internal reporting. Accordingly, the Company has five reportable segments. These segments are Sale and development of properties, Office and others, Shopping centers, Hotel and financial operations and others. As mentioned in Note 1, the unaudited consolidated statements of income were prepared following the guidelines of Technical Resolution No. 21 of the F.A.C.P.C.E.

NOTE 16: | RESTRICTED ASSETS |
Puerto Retiro S.A.
On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. (indirect subsidiary of the Company) was notified of a filing made by the National Government, through the Ministry of Defense, to extend the petition in bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. (Indarsa) to Puerto Retiro S.A. Concurrently with the complaint, at the request of plaintiff, the bankruptcy court granted an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro S.A. to sell or dispose in any manner the acquired real estate property from Tandanor S.A. in June 1993.
Indarsa had acquired 90% of the capital stock of Tandanor to a formerly estate owned company privatized in 1991, engaged in the shipyard industry.
Indarsa did not comply with the payment of the outstanding price for the acquisition of the stock of Tandanor, and therefore the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa, pursuing to extend the bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro S.A.
The evidence steps of the legal procedures have been completed. Puerto Retiro S.A. appealed the precautionary measure, being the same confirmed by the Court on December 14, 2000. The parties have submitted their claims in due time. The file was passed for the judge to issue a pronouncement, this being a decree adjourning the summoning of decisions to pronouncement in the understanding that there exists pre-judgment in respect of the penal cause filed against ex-officers of the Ministry of Defense and ex-directors of the Company. Consequently, the matter will not be solved until there is final judgment in penal jurisdiction.
The management and legal advisors of Puerto Retiro S.A. believe that there are legal and technical issues sufficient to consider that the request for postponement of bankruptcy will be denied by the court. However, taking the circumstances into account and the progress of the legal action, this position cannot be considered final.

Once HASA has credited the amount of US$ 2,000 made on April 21, 2006, the mortgage was partially cancelled reducing the original amount to the total of US$ 6,000.

NOTE 17: | TARSHOP S.A. CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION |
APSA has ongoing revolving year securitization programs through which Tarshop S.A., a majority-owned subsidiary of APSA, transfers a portion of its customer credit card receivable balances to master trusts that issues certificates to public and private investors.
Under the securitization programs, Trusts may issue two types of certificates representing undivided interests in the TrustsTítulos de Deuda Fiduciaria (TDF) and Certificados de Participación (CP), which represent debt, and equity certificates, respectively. Interest and principal services are paid periodically to the TDF holders throughout the life of the security. CPs are subordinated securities which entitle the CP holders to share pro rata in the cash flows of the securitized credit card receivables, after principal and interest on the TDFs and other fees and expenses have been paid. During the revolving period no payments are made to TDF and CP holders. Principal collections of the underlying financial assets are used by the Trust to acquire additional credit card receivables throughout the revolving period. Once the revolving period ends, a period of liquidation occurs during which: (i) no further assets are purchased, (ii) all cash collections are used to fulfill the TDF service requirements and (iii) the remaining proceeds are used to fulfill the CPs service requirements.
In consideration of the receivables transferred to the Trusts, which have been eliminated from the APSA´s balance sheet, Tarshop received cash (arising from the placement of the debt securities by the Trusts) and CPs issued by the trusts. The latter are recorded at their equity values at the closing of the period/year on the basis of the financial statements issued by the trusts.
Tarshop S.A. subsidiary of APSA, agreed on a Securitization Program of consumption portfolio for the purpose of securing long-term financing and the possibility of direct access to the capital market.

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

NOTE 26: | PROVISION FOR UNEXPIRED CLAIMS AGAINST LLAO LLAO HOLDING S.A. |
The company Llao Llao Holding S.A. (in the process of dissolution due to merger with IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima), predecessor of Llao Llao Resorts S.A. in the operation of the hotel complex Hotel Llao Llao, which was awarded by Resolution No. 1/91 issued by the National Parks Administration, was sued in 1997 by that Administration to obtain collection of the unpaid balance of the additional sale price, in Argentine external debt securities amounting to US$ 2,870. A ruling of the court of original jurisdiction sustained the claim. That ruling was appealed, and the Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment of the court of original jurisdiction, demanding payment from the company of the mentioned amount in Argentine external debt securities available at the date of the ruling, plus interest accrued through payment, and compensatory and punitive interest and lawyers fees.
The unpaid balance approved in the court records, carried out by the plaintiff as of June 30, 2001, includes face value bonds of US$ 4,127, plus compensatory and punitive interest, payable in cash, in a total amount of US$ 3,800.
On March 2, 2004, such company made a deposit of Ps. 7,191 in Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires in favor of the National Parks Administration and a transfer of Argentine external debt securities class FRBFRB L+13/16 2005 for a total nominal value of US$ 4,127, equivalent to Ps. 1,964. The total amount settled on that date was Ps. 9,155.
The intervening court served notice to the plaintiff of payment made, and on June 30, 2004 the plaintiff presented a writing rejecting that payment, considering it partial settlement of the debt arising from the firm judgement filed in the records of the case, and requested the setting up of a time deposit with the funds paid, automatically renewable every thirty days, until final payment of the total debt.

NOTE 26: | (Continued) |
The Court resolved the matter by considering notice to have been served; as regards the amount due, the plaintiff must conform the claim to current regulations. Until final resolution of the matter, Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires was instructed to appropriate the funds to a renewable time deposit.
In accordance with the legal advisors report, the plaintiff has yet neither initiated the execution of the sentence nor liquidated its credit.
In line with the matters reported by the lawyers in respect of this suit, such company management recorded a reserve for an amount Ps. 4,443 as of December 31, 2006, which was determined according to the difference between the amount claimed for compensatory and punitive interest of US$ 3,800 and the amount deposited in the court of Ps. 7,191.
Five of the six plaintiffs lawyers filed a motion in relation to their fees in the case, as they understood that the amount agreed should have been paid in U.S. dollars and not in pesos. In a provisional remedy, due to the unpaid balance carried out in the court records under the claims of two of the lawyers, an order was issued to attach the companys bank current accounts, which occurred in March 2005 in the amount of Ps. 788. As of December 31, 2006, such attached funds amounts to Ps. 861.
Such company legal advisors challenged the unpaid balance carried out in the court records based on several reasons (payments performed prior to the pesification, unlawful and exorbitant interest, etc.). This case is carried out by two legal advisors. In accordance with the probable contingency reported by the lawyers as of December 31, 2006, such company management has reserved the amount of Ps. 1,010. An accord and satisfaction agreement was settled with the other three litigant lawyers, by which it was agreed to pay the amount of U$S 68 to each one of them, in installments, the last becoming due in February 5, 2008. One of these agreements was signed on September 29, 2006 and the other two on October 17, 2006.
The sixth female attorney, who had not appealed the resolution that provided for the conversion into pesos of the attorneys fees, submitted a note to this file arguing that the resolution of the appeal of her colleagues is also applicable in her case and determined the amount in US$ 95. The Company has challenged the claim in the understanding that the Court resolution is not applicable and that the conversion into pesos is final. The claim is not yet solved. According to the Companys legal advisors, as of December 31, 2006 an allowance of Ps. 86 has been recorded for this claim for adjustment of the referential stabilization coefficient applicable to the credit as from the fourth installment (from a total of twelve installments).

Notes to the unaudited financial statements
For the six-month periods beginning on July 1, 2006 and 2005
and ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
In thousand of pesos (Note 1)
NOTE 1: | ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
Below are the most relevant accounting standards used by the Company to prepare these unaudited financial statements:
1.1. Preparation and presentation of unaudited financial statements
These unaudited financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos and were prepared in accordance with disclosure and valuation criteria contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, approved with certain amendments by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, in accordance with the resolutions issued by the National Securities Commission.
The financial statements corresponding to the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 have not been audited. The Company´s management believes they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably show the results of each period.
Income statement for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 do not necessarily reflect the portion of the Company´s results for such complete years.
Unification of professional accounting standards
The National Securities Commission has issued General Resolutions 485 and 487 on December 29, 2005 and January 26, 2006, respectively.
Such resolutions have adopted, with certain modifications, the new accounting standards recently issued by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aries through its Resolution CD 93/2005. These standards are to the obligatorily applied for fiscal years or interim periods corresponding to fiscal years started as from January 1, 2006.
The principal change that the application of these new standards has generated relates to the treatment of the adjustment for inflation in calculating the deferred tax which can be taken as a temporary difference, according to the Companys criteria. At present the adjustment for inflation is considered as a permanent difference in the deferred income tax calculation. The Company in accordance with the new accounting standards has decided not to recognize the deferred liability generated by the effect of the adjustment for inflation on the fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. The estimated effect as of December 31, 2006 that the adoption of the new criteria would have generated would be a decrease in shareholders equity of approximately Ps. 202.3 millions, which should be recorded in the income

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)
NOTE 1: (Continued)
statement accounts of previous years for Ps. 188.4 million (loss) and in the income statement accounts of the period for Ps. 13.9 million (profit).
In accordance with the Companys management the potential effect that the new accounting standards would have in its subsidiary Banco Hipotecario S.A. would not be significant on the amount of the Companys investment.
The above-mentioned liability would probably turn to the previous position according to the detail that follows:
Item |
Up to 12 months |
From 1 to 2 years |
From 2 to 3 years |
Over 3 years |
Total | |||||
Amount in millions |
5.1 | 7.9 | 7.8 | 181.5 | 202.3 |
1.2. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management, at a specific date, to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Companys Management makes estimates for example when accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies. Future actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions made at the date of these unaudited financial statements.
1.3. Recognition of the effects of inflation
The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in constant currency, reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. From that date and until December 31, 2001 the Company discontinued the restatement of the financial statements due to a period of monetary stability. From January 1, 2002 up to February 28, 2003 the effects of inflation were recognized due to the existence of an inflationary period. As from that date, the restatement of the financial statements was discontinued.
This criterion is not in line with current professional accounting standards, which establish that the financial statements should have been restated through September 30, 2003. However, due to the low level of inflation rates during the period from March to September 2003, this deviation has not had a material effect on the unaudited financial statements taken as a whole.
The rate used for restatement of items in these unaudited financial statements is the domestic wholesale price index published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.

Liabilities in kind:
The Company records a liability in kind corresponding to an obligation to deliver units to be built in relation to the San Martín de Tours property. This liability was valued at the higher of amounts received or the estimated cost of building of the units plus additional costs to transfer the assets to the creditor, and is shown as a current liability under Mortgages payable.

NOTE 1: (Continued)
1.5. (Continued)
h. (Continued)
Inventories on which advance payments that establish price have been received, and the operations contract terms and conditions assure that the sale will be effectively accomplished and that the income will be realized, are valued at its fair market value.
Profits arising from such valuation are shown in the Gain from valuation of inventories at fair market value caption of the unaudited Statement of Income.
Properties held for sale are classified as current or non-current based on the estimated date of sale and the time at which the related receivable is expected to be collected by the Company.
The amount recorded in inventories, net of allowances set up, does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at the end of the period.
Credits in kind:
The Company has credits in kinds related to rights on the reception of certain units.
The units relating to the buildings called Terreno Caballito, and Dique III have been valued according to the accounting measuring standards corresponding to inventories receivable and there have been disclosed under Inventories.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)
NOTE 1: (Continued) |
1.5. (Continued)
j. (Continued)
standards used by the related companies to prepare their financial statements are those currently in effect.
This item also includes the lower or higher value paid for the purchase of shares in subsidiaries and related companies assignable to the assets acquired, and goodwill related to the subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. and the related company, Banco Hipotecario S.A.
The Company has an important investment in Banco Hipotecario S.A. This investment is valued according to the equity method due to the significant influence of the economic group on the decisions of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and to the intention of keeping said investment on a permanent basis.
As of December 31, 2006, the equity value was applied on preliminary amounts since at the date of these financial statements Banco Hipotecario S.A. had not completed the issuance and approval of its financial statements.
In accordance with the regulations of the BCRA and the contracts signed as a result of Banco Hipotecario S.A.s financial debt restructuring process, there are certain restrictions on the distribution of profits by Banco Hipotecario S.A. to the Company.
| Certificates of participation in IRSA I financial trust: |
The certificates of participation in IRSA I financial trust have been valued at the amount resulting from apportioning the participation certificate holding to the trust assets.
| Undeveloped parcels of lands: |
The Company acquires undeveloped land in order to provide an adequate and well-located supply for its residential and office building operations. The Companys strategy for land acquisition and development is dictated by specific market conditions where the Company conducts its operations.
Land held for development and sale and improvements are stated at cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.3. or market value, whichever is lower. The Company maintains allowances for impairment of certain parcels of undeveloped land for which their market value is lower than cost. (See Exhibit E).
Land and land improvements are transferred to inventories or fixed assets when construction commences or their trade is decided.

1.5. (Continued)
i. | (Continued) |
The values thus obtained, net of the allowances recorded, do not exceed their respective estimated recoverable values at the end of period.
j. | Fixed assets |
Fixed assets comprise primarily of rental properties and other property and equipment held for use by the Company.
Fixed assets value, net of allowances set up, does not exceed estimated recoverable value at the end of the period.
| Rental properties |
Rental properties are carried at acquisition and/or construction cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment at the end of the period. The Company capitalizes accrued interest costs associated with long-term construction projects. However, during the period ended December 31, 2006 and in fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 no interest costs were capitalized, as the Company considered that there are no works in progress.
Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 50 years for buildings. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to results in the period incurred.
The Company has allowances for impairment of certain rental properties as disclosed in Exhibit A. Increases and decreases of such allowances are disclosed in Exhibit E.
Significant renovations and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the assets are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is disclosed in the unaudited statement of income.
| Software |
The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with the development of computer software for internal use. Such costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis since its implementation.

NOTE 1: (Continued)
1.5. (Continued)
j. | (Continued) |
| Other properties and equipment |
Other properties and equipment properties are carried at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation at the end of the period. Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as specified below:
Asset |
Estimated useful life (years) | |
Leasehold improvements | On contract basis | |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 | |
Machinery, equipment and computer equipment | 3 | |
Vehicles | 5 |
The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of significant renewals and improvements are added to the carrying amount of the respective assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
k. | Deferred financing cost |
Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of negotiable obligations and proceeds of loans are amortized over the life of the related issuances. In the case of redemption of these notes, the related expenses are amortized using the accelerated depreciation method.
Amortization has been recorded under Financial results, net in the unaudited statements of income as a greater financing expense.
l. | Customer advances |
Customer advances represent payments received in advance in connection with the sale and rent of properties.
m. | Income tax |
The Company has recognized the charge for income tax by the deferred tax liability method, recognizing timing differences between measurements of accounting and tax assets and liabilities (see Note 14).
To determine deferred assets and liabilities, the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of reversal or use has been applied to timing differences identified and tax loss carry forwards, considering the legal regulations approved at the date of issuance of these unaudited financial statements.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)
NOTE 1: | (Continued) |
1.5. (Continued)
m. | (Continued) |
Since it is unlikely that future taxable income will fully absorb tax loss carry forwards, the Company has recorded an impairment on a portion of that credit.
n. | Asset tax |
The Company calculates asset tax by applying the current 1% rate on computable assets at the end of the year. This tax complements income tax. The Companys tax obligation in each period will coincide with the higher of the two taxes. However, if asset tax exceeds income tax in a given period, that amount in excess will be computable as payment on account of income tax arising in any of the following ten years.
At December 31, 2006, the Company has estimated the asset tax, recognizing under Other receivables the amount estimated to be offset as payment on account of income tax in future years in accordance with current regulations, and expensing the remaining balance.
o. | Allowances and Provisions |
Allowance for doubtful accounts: the Company provides for losses relating to mortgages, lease and other accounts receivable. The allowance for losses is recognized when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the agreements. The allowance is determined on a one-by-one basis considering the present value of expected future cash flows. While management uses the information available to make assessments, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the assessments. Management has considered all events and/or transactions that are subject to reasonable and normal methods of estimations, and the unaudited financial statements reflect that consideration.
For impairment of assets: the Company regularly asses its non-current assets for recoverability whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable value.
In such cases, for rental properties, the Company first makes a comparison between the asset carrying amount and its undiscounted value in use. If, as a result of that comparison, the carrying amount of an asset
61
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)
NOTE 1: | (Continued) |
1.5. (Continued)
o. | (Continued) |
exceeds its value in use, in order to measure the loss impairment, a second comparison is made with the higher of discounted value in use and market value (recoverable value). Value in use is determined based on estimated future cash flows. For the rest of the assets (inventories and undeveloped parcels of land) the Company makes a comparison with market values based on values of comparable properties. If the recoverable value of assets, which had been impaired in prior years, increases, the Company will record the corresponding reversals of impairment loss as required by accounting standards.
Increases and decreases of allowances for impairment of assets during the period ended December 31, 2006 and during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 are detailed in Exhibit E.
For lawsuits: the Company has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor and other matters. The Company accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date, the Companys estimates of the outcomes of these matters and the Companys lawyers experience in contesting, litigating and settling other matters.
As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined, there may be changes in the estimates of future costs, which could have a effect on the Companys future results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.
At the date of issuance of these unaudited financial statements, Management understands that there are no elements to foresee other potential contingencies having a negative impact on these unaudited financial statements.
p. | Shareholders equity accounts |
Amounts of shareholders equity accounts have been restated following the guidelines detailed in Note 1.3. until February 28, 2003. Subsequent movements are stated in the currency of the month to which they correspond.
Common stock account was stated at historical nominal value. The difference between value stated in constant currency, following the guidelines detailed in Note 1.3., and historical nominal value is shown

q. | Results for the period |
The results for the period are shown as follows:
Amounts included in unaudited Income Statement are shown in currency of the month to which they correspond.
Charges for assets consumed (fixed asset depreciation, intangible asset amortization and cost of sales) were determined based on the values recorded for such assets.
Results from investments in subsidiary and affiliated companies was calculated under the equity method, by applying the percentage of the Companys equity interest to the results of such companies, with the adjustments for application of Technical Resolution 21.
r. | Advertising expenses |
The Company generally charges the advertising and publicity expenses to results when they are incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses were approximately Ps. 568 and Ps. 210 for periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
s. | Pension information |
The Company does not maintain any pension plans. Argentine laws provide for pension benefits to be paid to retired employees from government pension plans and/or privately managed funds plan to which employees may elect to contribute.
t. | Derivative financial instruments |
The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge the risks of fluctuation in interest rates related to its financial debt which accrues interest at variable rate. See Note 16 for details.
u. | Revenue recognition |
u.1. | Sales of properties |
The Company records revenue from the sale of properties when all of the following criteria are met:

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)
NOTE 1: | (Continued) |
1.5. (Continued)
u. | (Continued) |
u.1. | (Continued) |
| the sale has been consummated; |
| there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the buyers ability and commitment to pay for the property; |
| the Companys receivable is not subject to future subordination; |
and
| the Company has transferred the property to the buyer. |
The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting with respect to sales of development properties under construction. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs according to budgeted costs. The Company does not commence revenue and cost recognition until such time as the decision to proceed with the project is made and construction activities have begun. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Companys management to prepare budgeted costs in connection with sales of properties/units. All changes to estimated costs of completion are incorporated into revised estimates during the contract period.
u.2. | Leases |
Revenues from leases are recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the related lease contracts.
v. | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company considers, for cash flow purposes, all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, consisting primarily of mutual funds, as cash equivalents.
w. | Monetary assets and liabilities |
Monetary assets and liabilities are stated at their face value plus or minus the related financial gain or loss.
x. | Vacation expenses |
Vacation expenses are fully accrued in the period in which the employee renders services in order to be able to take such vacation.

NOTE 15: | CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP CONTRACT WITH CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON |
On June 2, 2005 a contract called Credit Default Swap was entered into with Credit Suisse International (CSI, formerly Credit Suisse First Boston) by which the Company is committed to acquire in specific circumstances for US$ 10.0 million, a loan with a mortgage guarantee on an office building in the Buenos Aires City.

NOTE 16: | SWAP OF INTEREST RATES WITH DEUTSCHE BANK AG |
The Company agreed with the Deutsche Bank AG on June 16, 2005 two LIBO rate swap arrangements aiming at covering the risk of increased interest rates that the Company must pay on the unsecured loan and the non-convertible secured negotiable obligations (both to be due in November 2009, which at June 30, 2005 had a capital balance of US$ 21,850 and US$ 35,511 respectively, and which accrue a variable interest rate equivalent to the three month LIBO rate added 200 basic points).
By means of both contracts, the Company was compromised to pay every three months to the Deutsche Bank AG cash flows calculated on the basis of a fixed rate of 4.27% on the balances of each debt. In turn, the Company received quarterly payments calculated on the basis of the three-month LIBO rate on balances established at the beginning of each quarter.
The purpose of such swap arrangements was to fully cover the risk of interest rates of the above-mentioned debts. The amortization scheme, the dates for payment of interest and principal, the dates for determining interest rates, the referential index for calculating interests and the calculation basis for the interest agreed in both swap contracts totally coincided with the issuance conditions of each one of the mentioned liabilities.
On October 24, 2005 the Company fully cancelled in advance both swap arrangements. Due to the increase shown by the temporary structure of the interest rates, a gain of US$ 402 was obtained for such cancellations.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
(As of December 31, 2006)
We are very pleased to announce the results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, since once again we can inform a significant improvement in the results for the period as well as new acquisitions and developments of our business lines: office buildings, shopping centers, developments and undeveloped parcels of land and hotels. These significant investments are the result of the expansion strategy informed in the last fiscal years, as well as of the positive trend of the Argentine economy.
As regards the Office segment, through the acquisition of Dock del Plata, the purchase option entered into in connection with Edificio República and the offer submitted and accepted as regards the purchase of Bouchard Plaza, three premium office buildings in the City of Buenos Aires will allow us to achieve a 20% market share. In turn, during the next months, we will begin to develop a new office building in Dique IV in one of our undeveloped parcels of land. The important growth of prices in the office market is closely related to the scarce availability of class A or higher class offices which has generated a very significant sustained growth of the rent since the 2001 Argentine crisis. However, as of the date hereof, rental prices are below pre-crisis levels.
In line with the growth strategy of the Shopping Center segment, our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), has acquired Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera in the city of Córdoba. Furthermore, APSA purchased the real estate property on which part of the shopping center Patio Olmos operates. Once again, continuing with the turnover of our land reserves, we will develop, through Panamerican Mall S.A. (a company recently incorporated in which we have an 80% interest) a shopping center and residential complex in the neighborhood of Saavedra, in the City of Buenos Aires. This development is one of the most significant projects of the Company.
As regards the hotel business unit, the Company has made several investments in the two hotels that it controls in the City of Buenos Aires in order to improve their image. We also continued with the enlargement works at Llao Llao Hotel, through the construction of 52 new suites.
Finally, and taking advantage of the significant growth of the local market, we are preparing to launch new housing projects which accelerate the turnover of our undeveloped parcels of land portfolio. To commence with such process, we have acquired, through our subsidiaries, two adjacent plots in Vicente López, Province of Buenos Aires, which have an aggregate area of 22,063 sqm. In both real properties, already unified, we plan to develop a new concept of residential complex, which will allow for the expansion of the public spaces. Such project shall be one of the most significant residential developments in the Province of Buenos Aires. Taking into account the sustained increase in the demand of residential spaces in Puerto Madero area, we launched the sale of Tower 1 of Torres Renoir, Dique III, where the first bills of sale have been entered into.
The above mentioned investments, particularly the ones in the office and shopping center segments, as well as the new residential developments will generate significant additional income and will further consolidate our position in the Argentine real estate market.
Macroeconomic Context
After another year of strong growth, at the end of calendar year 2006, the Argentine economy showed an 8.4% increase in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, the GDP consolidates its fourth consecutive year of growth over 8%, with an accumulated variation of 40.5% during such period.
Public finances continued to show a favorable evolution during calendar year 2006. Public income recorded a 26.6% inter-annual increase, while the spending recorded a 28.8% increase, generating a margin in the primary result of the public accounts of 3.5% of the GDP. On the other hand, debt services decreased 0.7%. As a result of these factors, the consolidated public sector registered a 1.7% financial surplus during the 2006 calendar year as compared to the 2.0% financial deficit as a percentage of GDP registered in calendar year 2002. This improvement in the public sector budget gives rise to moderate financial obligations during the next years.
Once again, the monetary policy focused on the encouragement of the aggregate demand through low interest rates and an increase in money stocks, which also translated into a greater accumulation of reserves by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA). The level of reserves as of December 31, 2006, amounted to US$32.037 billion.
As regards external accounts, Argentina registered during calendar year 2006 a US$12,410 billion surplus in its trade balance. Such surplus is comprised of an increase in exports from US$40,013 billion in calendar year 2005 to US$46,569 billion in calendar year 2006, which implied a 16.4% positive variation, and of an increase in imports from US$28,691 billion in calendar year 2005 to US$34,159 billion in calendar year 2006, which translated into a 19% positive variation.
The aggregate consumption is once again the largest component of the GDP growth, with a contribution of 68% in its variation during calendar year 2006. Aggregate consumption accumulates a 35% increase for the four-year period after the 2002 crisis and reaches record levels. Within private consumption, one of the main drivers of this expansion were the sales in the Shopping Centers, which registered a 24.6% inter-annual growth at current seasonal prices, accumulating a 90% growth during the last four calendar years. This is mainly due to the medium-low income population sectors greater access to such centers, as well as the significant growth of foreign tourism.
The consumer price index (CPI) published by the INDEC registered a 9.8% accumulated annual variation as of December 31, 2006; in this context, the 19.9% increase in Education and the 14.6% in Clothing should be highlighted. Notwithstanding a significant 2.5% improvement as compared to the 12.3% inflation rate registered in calendar year 2005, the economic analysts continue to observe the inflation problem as one of the main challenges for the government during the next years, while its efforts to control price levels create more distortions.
Construction continues to be one of the main components of growth, representing 68% of total investment during calendar year 2006 and explaining the 58% accumulated increase therein during the last four calendar year years. In the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006, the summary indicator of construction activities (ISAC in Spanish) prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC) showed a 15.2% increase as compared to the same period of the previous year.
The hotel segment, and five stars hotels in particular, have benefited in these last four years by the favorable exchange rate resulting from the 2002 devaluation and by the increase in the number of tourists with high purchasing power. As regards the office segment, the occupancy rate registered an increase with its consequent positive impact in rental prices. This phenomenon was due to the recovery in the industrial and commercial activity and to the favorable relation between the cost and the services supplied by the city of Buenos Aires as compared with other Latin American cities.
The non-seasonal sales at constant prices in Shopping Centers registered a 0.5% decrease as compared to November 2006. However, the trend continues to be promising, since the inter-annual evolution registered a 4.8% positive variation.
In this macroeconomic context, we registered a significant improvement in our operating results which amounted to Ps.105.9 million as of December 31, 2006, as compared to Ps.85,6 million as of December 31, 2005. This represents a 23.7% increase.
The Companys revenues increased 56.1%, from Ps.256.4, million as of December 31, 2005 to Ps. 400.2 million as of December 31, 2006, as a result of an increase of (i) Ps.61.0 million in the Shopping Center segment, (ii) Ps.63.0 million in the sales and developments segment, (iii) Ps.9.6 million in the hotel segment, (iv) Ps.9.6 million in the office and other rental properties segment and (v) Ps. 0.6 in financial and other operations.
As a result of the increase in our main business segments, the net results for the six-month period ended December 31, 2006 registered a Ps.66.1 million gain as compared to a Ps.29.0 million gain registered during the same period of fiscal year 2006. This increase in net results is mainly due to: (i) a financial gain derived from an increase in the financial operations results and a lesser exchange difference loss as a result of the appreciation of the peso against the dollar during the second quarter of the fiscal year under consideration, and (ii) a lesser result derived from our interest in our subsidiaries.
Financial results registered a Ps.12.1 million gain as compared to a Ps.32.3 million loss registered in the same semester of fiscal year 2006. The difference is mainly explained by a significant increase in the financial operations results, which increased from a Ps.4.7 million gain recorded during the first semester of fiscal year 2006 to a Ps.28.4 million gain recorded during the six-month period ended December 31, 2006. Furthermore, there was a significant decrease in the exchange difference losses, from a Ps.13.3 million loss registered during the first semester of fiscal year 2006 to a Ps.0.3 million loss for the six-month period ended December 31, 2006, mainly as a result of the exposure of our liabilities in dollars.
Finally, the results of this semester were driven in a lesser extent by the gain generated by our related companies, from a gain of Ps.28.5 million as of December 31, 2005 to a gain of Ps.15.0 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2006. This decrease is mainly attributable to lower results generated by our related company Banco Hipotecario S.A., which amounted to Ps.15.5 million as of December 31, 2006 as compared to Ps. 27.7 million registered as of December 31, 2005.
First semester of fiscal year 2007 highlights, including significant operations occurred after the end of the period.
I. Offices and Other Rental Properties
During the six-months period ended December 31, 2006, income from rental properties totaled Ps.23.0 million, registering a 71.6% increase as compared to Ps.13.4 million registered in the same period of fiscal year 2006. Occupancy levels of our office buildings continued to recover significantly, reaching 98% as of December 31, 2006, as compared to 92% registered as of the same date of the previous year.
The sustained increase in demand for rental space and the scarce supply of new spaces gave rise to a price recovery. Foreign capital oil companies and service companies demanded greater spaces in our properties, which demand is in accordance with market trends that reflect a largest interest of foreign companies to establish offices and branches or to expand their activities in Argentina based on the opportunities offered by the country. Among the benefits provided by the city of Buenos Aires, the following should be highlighted: the significant training and professionalism of the local work force, the higher security offered by our city as compared to other Latin American cities, the similarity of the time zones as compared to the main U.S. cities, and the comparative advantages as regards operation costs.
The promising future of this business segment encouraged us to make significant acquisitions during the first semester, adding the following properties to our office portfolio:
Dock del Plata. On November 15, 2006, we acquired for an aggregate price of US$ 8.8 million, offices, stores and parking lots pertaining to Edificio Dock del Plata. This is a class A+ property with a 7,921 sqm. gross rental area located in the exclusive Puerto Madero area. Simultaneously, the Credit Default Swap agreement with Credit Suisse was cancelled, allocating to the purchase of this real property the US$4.0 million related to such agreement. The remaining balance was paid in cash.
Edificio República. On December 22, 2006, we entered into a purchase option with Banco Comafi S.A., as trustee of Fideicomiso República trust, for US$74.0 million in connection with a building located in the city of Buenos Aires known as Edificio Tucumán 1 República, recently acquired by the trustee through a public auction. This is a 20-storey class AAA office building designed by architect Cesar Pelli which constitutes a true has ship feature of the City of Buenos Aires. The building has a 19,800 sqm. gross rental area. This option is subject to certain conditions: (i) the option shall be exercised within a 60-day term as from the fulfillment of certain requirements as regards the trustees ownership of the building, (ii) the title deed shall be executed within a 90-day term as from the exercise of the option, and (iii) 50% of the purchase price shall paid on the date of execution of the title deed and the remaining 50% shall be paid in five annual installments, with a fixed 8% interest rate, payable semi-annually, and a mortgage shall be created on the real property. Furthermore, during the term of this option, the trustee also has an option to sale Edificio República to our Company under the same conditions described above.
Edificio Bouchard Plaza. On December 28, 2006, we submitted a bid, as agent, before Banco Rio de la Plata S.A., in its capacity as trustee of Fideicomiso Financiero Edificio La Nación, to acquire Edificio Bouchard Plaza, the main asset of the trust. The offer consists in the acquisition, as agent, of the building, and the assumption, as assignee, of all the rental agreements in force as of the date of the acquisition in relation to all and every part of the building. On the same date, we were informed about the acceptance of our offer. The price offered by us amounted to US$84.1 million, of which Ps.46.2 million were paid at the time of the offer. The title deed shall be executed by the parties no later than March 2007. As of the date hereof, the Company has not appointed principals in connection with the acquisition and is analyzing several alternatives in connection with this real property, including the possibility to purchase it in association with third parties. This real property, known as Edificio Bouchard or Edificio La Nación, is a 20-storey class AAA office building, located at downtown Buenos Aires, and has a 33,324 sqm. gross rental area.
Edificio Intercontinental Plaza. As a result of the transaction entered into with GSEM/AP Holding L.P., the Company acquired 33% of Edificio Intercontinental Plaza, which has a 22,535 sqm. leaseable area. This is a 24-storey building located next to Hotel Intercontinental, in the historical neighborhood of Monserrat, at downtown Buenos Aires, and has an average area of 900 square meters per floor, with 324 parking lots.
It should be highlighted that these acquisitions will imply an increase of more than 70% in the A and AAA office rental area of our portfolio, and thus the Companys market share in this segment will be 20%. To have an idea of the volume and significant impact of these acquisitions on the Companys results, we can take into account that the monthly rent per square meter of premium offices with similar characteristics to the ones purchased has a current value of US$/sqm. 30 to US$/sqm. 35, similar values to those registered before the 2001 Argentine crisis.

II. Shopping Centers - Alto Palermo S.A (APSA).
The following information relates to data extracted from the balance sheet of our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), the company which operates our shopping centers, in which we had a 61.67% as of December 31, 2006.
Net income for the semester was Ps.40.2 million, compared to Ps. 23.3 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. In terms of percentages, this improvement stands for a 72.6% increase.
Total revenues as of December 31, 2006, amounted to Ps. 282.4 million, i.e., 53.1% higher than the total revenues recorded in the same period of the previous year. This increase is mainly due to the income derived from the sale of the General Paz plot, the excellent situation currently experienced by our shopping centers and to a 61.8% increase in the income generated by our subsidiary Tarshop S.A.
Gross profit for the period showed a major 35.6% increase, from Ps. 109.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 to Ps. 148.5 million in the same period of fiscal year 2007. Thus, the consolidated operating income for the period registered a gain of Ps. 84.9 million as compared to Ps. 73.7 million registered in the same period of the previous year, which stands for a 15.1% increase.
EBITDA1 for the six-month period totaled Ps. 117.6 million representing a 11.7% increase as compared to the EBITDA for the same period of the previous year.
During the six-month period ended December 31, 2006, our tenants sales have continued to grow, reaching Ps. 1,422.5 million, 22.5% higher in nominal terms than those recorded in the same period of the previous year.
The business success of our tenants continues to increase demand for space at our shopping centers. In this way, we had been able to maintain an occupancy rate of 99.1%. The evolution of this variable not only shows an improvement in our business, but also the excellent quality of our shopping centers portfolio.
New commercial project. During December 2006, Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) entered into several agreements in connection with the construction, marketing and management of a new commercial project that will be developed in the neighborhood of Saavedra, City of Buenos Aires, by Panamerican Mall S.A. (PAMSA), a recently incorporated company in which APSA has an 80% interest.
In connection with this new development, Alto Palermo S.A. made a capital contribution to PAMSA for Ps.158.3 million and sold to such company the plot of land on the streets Posta, Pico and Arias (timely acquired from Philips Argentina S.A.) for an amount of Ps.59.9 million. Furthermore, APSA has committed to make future capital contributions to PAMSA for a maximum amount of up to US$37.8 million, in order to finish the works and secure the start-up and operation of the Shopping Center.
The other shareholder of PAMSA is Centro Comercial Panamericano S.A., who holds the remaining 20% of the shares. This company sold to PAMSA the plot located on the streets Melian, Vedia and Arias (adjacent to the plot sold by APSA) for an aggregate amount of Ps.61.5 million and committed to make capital contributions in connection with the termination of the works and the start-up of the Shopping Center, for a maximum amount of up to US$9.4 million.
The project includes the construction of a shopping center, a supermarket, cinemas and an office building. This development is one of the most significant projects to be conducted by the Company.
Acquisition of Córdoba Shopping. On July 7, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Grupo Roggio, by means of which, subject to a due diligence process, all the shares of Empalme S.A., owner of Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera, were transferred to APSA and Shopping Alto Palermo S.A. (subsidiary of APSA).
On December 18, 2006, the operation was approved by the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (Federal Trade Commission) through resolution SCI No. 67 of the Trade Secretariat and, therefore, the Company began to manage the premises.
The price of the transaction was set in a gross amount of US$12.0 million, plus a variable amount derived from the post-closing adjustment (originally set forth in the agreement) which was established in the sum of Ps.4.0 million. As of the date of these financial statements, APSA and SAPSA have paid the amount of US$4.0 million and the amount pertaining to the post-closing adjustment; the outstanding balance amounts to US$8.0 million.
Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera has a total area of 35,000 sqm., with 160 shops, 12 cinemas and parking space for 1,500 vehicles and is located in Villa Cabrera neighborhood in the city of Córdoba. This investment is an opportunity for APSA to grow in the shopping center segment, in line with its strategy of expanding and gaining foothold in the main cities of the Argentine provinces.
Acquisition of a real estate property in the Province of Córdoba. In November 2006, Alto Palermo S.A. participated in a public bid conducted by Corporación Inmobiliaria Córdoba S.A. in connection with the sale of the property known as Edificio Ex Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos, located in the city of Córdoba. The building has a 5,147 sqm. area where part of the Patio Olmos shopping center operates, developed in four commercial floors and two parking basements. The shopping center, which also occupies two adjacent properties, has cinemas and a commercial annex, both linked to the bid sector which are related by easement agreements.

EBITDA represents the net results plus the accrued interest charge, income tax, depreciation and amortization charges, income/(loss) from permanent investments, third parties interests in subsidiaries and all the items not entailing movements of funds and any extraordinary or non-recurring income/(loss) . |
EBITDA is not regarded as a generally accepted accounting measure and should therefore not be used to measure financial or operating performance.
The offer submitted by the Company for the purchase of this real property amounted to Ps. 32.5 million. On November 20, 2006, we were notified of the award of the bid to APSA. Ps. 9.8 million, pertaining to 30% of the aggregate amount to be disbursed, were timely paid, in accordance with the bidding terms. The balance shall be paid at the time of execution of the title deed, which, as of the date of these financial statements, has not been granted.
Furthermore, on January 15, 2007, we were notified by the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (Federal Trade Commission) about two claims filed with this authority by an individual and by the licensee of the shopping center in connection with this operation. On February 1, 2007 we answered such claims. As of the date hereof, we have not been informed of any decision in this regard.
Tarjeta Shopping
Tarshop S.A. is a credit card company in which we have an 80% interest.
The favorable context and successful performance of our credit card business unit caused Tarshop S.A. to record a gain of Ps. 9.0 million for the first semester of fiscal year 2007, representing a 28.6% increase as compared to a gain of Ps. 7.0 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.

III. Sales and Developments
In the six-month period ended December 31, 2006, the sales and developments segment recorded a significant growth in revenues of Ps.90.7 million, as compared to Ps.27.7 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, representing a 227.2% increase as compared with the same period of fiscal year 2006. Below is a description of the main developments of the Company:
Barrio Chico (formerly San Martín de Tours). This is a unique project in Barrio Parque, the most exclusive residential area in the city of Buenos Aires. Sales in this project were launched in May 2006, with a high degree of success. Previously, efforts were made to develop the image of the product, choosing the name Barrio Chico, accompanied by advertising in the most important printed media. As of December 31, 2006, the project has been finished and four units are pending sale.
Cruceros, Dique II. This is a unique project in Puerto Madero area consisting in an apartment building with a surface area of 6,400 sqm. of which 3,633 sqm. are owned by the Company. Works are fully completed. As of December 31, 2006, three units are pending sale.
Torres Renoir, Dique III. In view of the steady demand for residential properties in the area of Puerto Madero, during fiscal year 2006 we closed swap agreements that allowed us to start the construction of these two exclusive residential buildings of 37 and 40 floors. In the light of the development boom in this area, the project has aroused great expectations in the market, given its outstanding features. On September 30, 2006, in view of the markets interest in this project, sales were launched in Tower 1, whose degree of progress was 65%, and during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 the first bills of sale were entered into. As regards Tower 2, the project plans were filed with the Municipality.
Caballito. On May 4, 2006 we entered into a US$7.5 million swap agreement with Koad S.A. (Koad) whereby we transferred title of block 36 of the property Terrenos de Caballito to Koad in order for it to develop at its sole expense, cost and liability, a residential complex known as Cabalito Nuevo. In consideration for it, Koad paid to us US$0.05 million, while the US$7.45 million balance will be repaid through the delivery of 118 apartment units and 55 parking spaces. The final number of units to be received will depend on the date of actual delivery by Koad, as the agreement provides for rewards for prompt delivery.
Besides, Koad created a US$7.45 million mortgage on the property as security for the transaction and took two performance bonds for US$2.0 million and US$0.5 million.
Benavidez, Tigre. Benavidez is an undeveloped 99.8 hectare plot located in the area of Tigre, 35 kilometers north from downtown Buenos Aires. In this property we plan to develop a gated residential complex that will have a privileged front access to Highway No. 9, allowing an easy way to and from the city. Given the rise in the values of land in the Northern area of the Province of Buenos Aires, particularly in the area in which the development is located, our expectations regarding the sales of the lots to be received pursuant to the swap agreement are highly positive.
Canteras Natal Crespo, Province of Córdoba. During the quarter under consideration, 34,710 shares of the company Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. were acquired for an aggregate price of Ps.1.83 million. Therefore, our Company holds a 55.02% interest in said company. Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. is a company domiciled in the province of Córdoba, whose main corporate purpose shall be the urbanization of own or third-party lands, gated communities, lots for sale or lease, development of quarries, real estate transactions and construction of housing units.
The preliminary guidelines for the development of the project were designed during the period. As from the moment in which the Chilean architecture firm URBE was hired, progress was made in the design of the Master Plan draft project. The development will offer a luring, diversified suite of residential plots and low and medium density housing areas, social and commercial areas. Each of the neighborhoods will have full-service infrastructure. The project will stand out for being embedded in the unique hillside setting of Sierras Chicas, in the Province of Córdoba.
Vicente Lopez Residential Project. On April 6, 2006, we entered into an agreement, as agent, in connection with the purchase of all the shares of Rummaala S.A., whose main asset is a plot with a net area of 13,651 sqm. located in Vicente Lopez, Province of Buenos Aires, and another agreement with Verdier S.A. in
connection with the acquisition of plot of land with a net area of 8,412 sqm. adjacent to Rummaalas plot. The closing of both transactions was subject to, among other conditions precedent, the approval of the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (Federal Trade Commission), which was granted on December 27, 2006. On January 16, 2007, the company appointed one of its subsidiaries, Patagonian Investment S.A., as principal to acquire 90% of Rummaala S.A., and Ritelco, to acquire the remaining 10%; furthermore, Rummaala S.A. was appointed as principal to acquire the Verdier S.A.s plot. In both real properties, already unified, we plan to develop a new concept of residential complex, which will allow for the expansion of the public spaces. Such project shall be one of the most significant residential developments in the Province of Buenos Aires.
Dique IV. This is a 18,370 sqm. plot located in Puerto Madero area, on which an 8-floor class A+ office building will be built. Works will commence during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007. In the light of the development boom in Puerto Madero area, we hope that this project will be successful.
El Rancho, San Carlos de Bariloche. On December 14, 2006, we acquired through our hotel operator subsidiary Llao Llao Resorts S.A., a 129,533 sqm. plot located in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, in the Province of Rio Negro. The total price for the operation amounted to US$7.0 million, of which US$4.2 million were paid in cash and the balance of US$2.8 million was financed through a mortgage payable in 36 equal, consecutive and monthly installments of US$0.086 million each. The plot is located in the shore of Gutiérrez Lake, in an unequalled natural frame, and has a 1,000 sqm. chalet designed by architect Ezequiel Bustillo.

IV. Hotels
Revenues from the hotel segment recorded a 18.2% increase, from Ps.53.0 million in the first semester of fiscal year 2006 to Ps.62.7 million in the same period of this fiscal year.
This rise was due to both the occupation and the average price rate increase. During the first six months of fiscal year 2007, the accumulated average occupancy rate in our hotels was 74.5%. Price rates were very favored being the average price per room being Ps.470 during this period as compared to Ps.357 during the previous period.
As a result of the purchase of a 33% interest of Sociedad Palermo Invest S.A., our interest in Hotel Intercontinental recorded a 25.45% increase, from 50.89% as of the end of the first semester of fiscal year 2006 to 76.34% for the same period of fiscal year 2007.
The enlargement works at Llao Llao Hotel are going on as expected. 52 new suites are being built with the usual characteristics of such hotel. Therefore, the hotel will have 200 rooms.

Approval of a Global Note Program.

Issue of Notes. Under the Global Note Program approved by the Shareholders Meeting, on February 2, 2007 we issued Series 1 Notes for an amount of US$150 million at a interset rate of 8.5% per annum (payable semi-annually) maturing on February 2, 2017. The issue price was 100% of the nominal value and as of the cut rate offers were received for up to US$529 million (3.5 times the offered amount), demonstrating the strong support of the investment community to the Companys business plan.
Series 1 Notes for up to US$150 million have been rated A-(arg), at local level, and B, at international level, by Fitch Argentina Calificadora de Riesgo S.A. In addition, the Series 1 Notes have been rated B+, at international level, and raA+, at local level, by Standard & Poors.
These ratings are based on the strong competitive position of the Company, consolidating as a real estate market leader in Argentina. Besides, the Company has moderate levels of consolidated indebtedness as compared to its sound asset base which is reflected in the quality and excellent location of its property portfolio. Finally, both rating companies consider that the proceeds derived from the issue of Notes shall be allocated to the financing of investment opportunities which shall provide significant income for the Company, due to the positive evolution evidenced by the different business in which the Company takes part and to the favorable medium-term outlook for the real estate sector.

APSA Financial Debt. To finance the acquisitions made during the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, we have incurred in an additional short-term debt amounting to 167.2 million.

VI. Brief comment on prospects for the next quarter
The Company has embarked in a strong investment plan tending to increase future cash flow in all its business lines adding constant value for its shareholders.
Based on the favorable prospects offered by the real estate market, the expansion of the office business through the acquisition of Dock del Plata as well as through the transactions related to Edificio República, Edificio Bouchard Plaza, and Edificio Intercontinental Plaza, should be highlighted. Such acquisitions will imply an increase of more than 70% in the AAA office rental area, and thus the Companys market share in this segment will be 20%.
Furthermore, the Company continues to consolidate its significant position in the Shopping Center segment. Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera, the development of a shopping center in the Province of Neuquén and the development of Shopping General Paz have been added to the asset portfolio. The later shall be strategically located in the city of Buenos Aires and shall be the largest shopping center to be developed by the Company, exceeding Abasto Shopping, the largest shopping center that we own as of the date hereof. Furthermore, in order to constantly improve our portfolio, certain refurbishments are been conducted in order to change the image of almost all our shopping centers.
Based on the hotel activity development, which showed a significant growth during calendar year 2006, and the surprising tourist potential offered by Argentina, we have very favorable expectations in connection with this business sector.
Finally, and as a result of the renewed strategy adopted by the Company, we are analyzing several projects to be carried out in our land reserves taking advantage of any opportunity that might arise, as well as the incorporation of new plots at attractive rates adding value to our portfolio.
To face such investments, the Company resolved to finance part of the transactions through the issue of negociable obligations. In January 2007 the company issued Series 1 Notes for US$150 million, which have been successfully placed both in terms of rate and number of offers received.

Limited Review Report
To the Shareholders, President and Board of Directors of
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
C.U.I.T.: 30-52532274-9
1. | We have reviewed the balance sheet of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima at December 31, 2006, and the related statements of income, of changes in shareholders equity and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the supplementary notes 1 to 25 and exhibits A, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. Furthermore, we have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima with its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006, and the consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, which are presented as supplementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. |
2. | We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by Technical Resolution No. 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial statements. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. |
3. | IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries have a significant participation in Banco Hipotecario S.A. (the Entity), which is recorded at equity value at period-end. At December 31, 2006 the equity value was applied to provisional amounts since, at the date of issuance of this limited review report, the Entity had not completed the process for the issuance and approval of its financial statements. The limited review report of the external auditors on the financial statements of the Entity at September 30, 2006 dated November 8, 2006 states that the financial statements should be read considering the level of exposure of the Entity to the Public Sector. The participation of the Company in the Entity as a whole represents approximately 14% of basic assets and 9% of consolidated assets at December 31, 2006. |
4. | Based on our work and examinations of the financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, on which we issued our unqualified report on September 8, 2006, we report that: |
