  b. Comparative Information

Certain amounts in the unaudited financial statements at September 30, 2006 were reclassified for disclosure on a comparative basis with those for the period ended September 30, 2007.

 

NOTE 2: CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in constant monetary units, reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. From that date and until December 31, 2001 the government discontinued the restatement of the financial statements due to a period of monetary stability. From January 1, 2002 up to February 28, 2003 the effects of inflation were recognized due to the existence of an inflationary period. As from that date again, 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 was the domestic whole revenue 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 by the Company. Below are the most relevant accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries, which are not included in that Note.

 

  a. Banco Hipotecario S.A. shares

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

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

  b. Revenue recognition

In addition to the description in the unaudited basic financial statements:

 

   

Net income for admission rights and rental of stores and stands

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Tenants are generally charged a rent, which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly gross sales (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross sales).

Furthermore, pursuant to the rent adjustment clause in most leases, the tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 12% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of sales or based on a percentage of sales volume above a specified threshold. The Company determines the compliance with specific targets and calculates the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided for in the contracts. Thus, these contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.

Generally, the Company’s lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months. Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six 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.

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.

Lease agent operations

FIBESA S.A. and Comercializadora Los Altos S.A. (formerly Altocity.com S.A.), companies in which APSA have shares of 99.9999% and 100% respectively, act as the leasing agents for APSA bringing together that company and potential lessees for the retail space available in certain of APSA’s shopping centers. FIBESA’s and Comercializadora Los Altos S.A. (formerly Altocity.com S.A.) revenues are derived primarily from collected fees calculated as a percentage of the final rental income value. Revenues are recognized at the time that the transaction is successfully concluded. A transaction is considered successfully concluded when both parties have signed the related lease contract.

 

   

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.

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/year.

 

  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, that in no case exceed 20 years, 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. and Emprendimiento Recoleta S.A., which is amortized through the straight-line method over a period that not exceeds 10 years.

Goodwill corresponding to the acquisition of Panamerican Mall S.A. has been valued at cost, calculated as the difference between the value paid for such investment and the estimated current value of the assets acquired. The goodwill for the acquisition of the controlled companies Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. and Palermo Invest S.A. has been valued at cost, calculated as difference between the value paid for such investment and the book value of the participation acquired. The Company is currently analyzing the current value of assets and liabilities acquired in line with Technical Resolution No. 21. The goodwill originated for the acqusition of Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. shares is amortized over 17 years. Amortization has been classified under “Amortization of goodwill” in the Statements of Income.

NOTE 4: NET OPERATING INCOME BY BUSINESS UNIT

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting. Accordingly, the Company has six reportable segments.

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 S.A. 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.

NOTE 17: TARSHOP S.A. CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION

Tarshop 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 Trusts - Títulos 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 Company´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.

NOTE 25: 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 S.A.), 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 U.S. dollars 2,870. A ruling of the court of original jurisdiction sustained the claim. That ruling was appealed, and the Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment of the court of original jurisdiction, demanding payment from the company of the mentioned amount in Argentine external debt securities available at the date of the ruling, plus interest accrued through payment, and compensatory and punitive interest and lawyers´ fees.

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

On March 2, 2004, such Company made a deposit of Ps. 7,191 in Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires in favor of the National Parks Administration and a transfer of Argentine external debt securities class FRB—FRB L+13/16 2005 for a total nominal value of U.S. dollars 4,127, equivalent to Ps. 1,964. The total amount settled on that date was Ps. 9,156.

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

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

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

In line with the matters reported by the lawyers in respect of this lawsuit, the company management recorded a reserve for an amount Ps. 4,778 as of September 30, 2007, which was determined according to the difference between the amount claimed for compensatory and punitive interest of US$ 3,800 and the amount deposited in the court of Ps. 7,191.

Five of the six plaintiff’s lawyers filed a motion in relation to their fees in the case, as they understood that the amount agreed should have been paid in U.S. dollars and not in pesos. In a provisional remedy, due to the unpaid balance carried out in the court records under the claims of two of the lawyers, an order was issued to put a lien on the company’s current banks accounts, which occurred in March 2005. As of September 30, 2007, such put a lien on funds amounts to Ps. 861.

The Company´s 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 September 30, 2007, the Company Management has reserved the amount of Ps. 1,116.

The Company settled a transactional agreement with the other three litigant lawyers, by which it was agreed to pay the amount of US$ 68 to each one of them, in installments, maturing through February 5, 2008. One of these agreements was signed on September 29, 2006 and the other two on October 17, 2006.

The sixth female attorney, who had not appealed the resolution that provided for the conversion into pesos of the attorney´s fees, submitted a note to this file arguing that the resolution of the appeal of her colleagues is also applicable in her case and determined an amount due of US$ 95. The Company has challenged the claim in the understanding that the Court resolution is not applicable and that the conversion into pesos is final. The claim is not yet solved. According to the Company´s legal advisors, as of September 30, 2007 an allowance of Ps. 158 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) equivalent to US$ 50.

During the month of June 2007, the Company and PISA made irrevocable contribution for Ps. 4,578 y Ps. 241, respectively, which were fully capitalized.

As a result of these capitalizations, the Company holds 299,173,356 shares representing 95% of the capital stock, and PISA holds 15,745,966 shares equivalent to the remaining 5% of the shareholding.

On June 26, 2007, the Company and PISA subscribe a parchase-sale contract of shares, by which each company sold 5% of the shareholding to Israel Sutton Dabbah, in commission, equivalent to 31,491,932 shares of SOLARES.

Subsequent to such operation and as of closing of the current period, the Company owns 90% of SOLARES represented by 283,427,390 common nominative non-endorsable shares, and Israel Sutton Dabbah, in commission, the remaining 10%.

Note 51: Principal differences between Argentine GAAP and US GAAP for transactions occurred in the three-month period ended September 30, 2007

Pro-rata consolidation of CYRSA

As discussed in footnote (2) of Note 1. under Argentine GAAP the Company consolidates the accounts of CYRSA on a pro-rata basis. Under US GAAP proportionate consolidation is not appropriate since the Company does not exercise control over this joint venture. As such, the interest in the joint venture will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting under US.GAAP. The classification differences are not material for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007.

and ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

In thousand of pesos

 

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.

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 N° 93/2005. These standards are to the obligatorily applied for fiscal years or interim periods corresponding to fiscal years started as from January 1, 2006.

The principal change that the application of these new standards has generated relates to the treatment of the adjustment for inflation in calculating the deferred tax which can be taken as a temporary difference, according to the Company’s criteria. At present the adjustment for inflation is considered as a permanent difference in the deferred income tax calculation. The Company in accordance with the new accounting standards has decided not to recognize the deferred liability generated by the effect of the adjustment for inflation on the fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. The estimated effect as of September 30, 2007 that the adoption of the new criteria would have generated would be a decrease in shareholders’ equity of approximately Ps. 169.5 million, which should be recorded in the income statement accounts of previous years for Ps. 188.4 million (loss) and in the income statement accounts of the period for Ps. 18.9 million (gain).

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

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

   Total

   9.9    9.8    9.8    140.0    169.5

1.2. Use of estimates

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

1.3. Recognition of the effects of inflation

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

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

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

1.4. Comparative information

Balances items at June 30, 2007 shown in these unaudited financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.

Certain amounts in the unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2006 were reclassified for disclosure on comparative bases with those for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007.

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

1.5. Valuation criteria

 

  a. Cash and banks

Cash on hand has been valued at face value.

 

  b. Foreign currency assets and liabilities

Foreign currency assets and liabilities were valued at each period/year-end exchange rates.

Operations denominated in foreign currency are converted into pesos at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of settlement of the operation.

 

  c. Current investments

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

 

  d. Mortgages and lease receivables and trade accounts payable

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

 

  e. Financial receivables and liabilities

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

 

  f. Other receivables and payables

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

Sundry receivables and payables (value added tax, deposits in guarantee, and accounts receivable in trust) disclosed under other current and other non-current receivables and payables, were valued based on the best estimate of the amount receivable and payable, respectively, discounted at an interest rate that reflect the value-time of money and the estimate specific transaction risks at the time of incorporation to assets and liabilities, respectively.

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

  h. Inventories

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

Properties classified as inventories have been valued at acqisition or construction cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., or estimated market value, whichever is lower. As of June 30, 2006u the Company maintained allowances for impairment of certain inventories for those ones which market value is lower than cost (See Exhibit E). Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs, construction overhead costs, interest on indebtedness and real estate taxes. During the year ended June 30, 2007 there were no items charged to assets.

The amount recorded in inventories, net of allowances set up, does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at the end of the period/year.

Credits in kind:

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

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

 

  i. Non-current investments

 

   

Investments in debt securities:

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

 

   

Investments in subsidiaries and related companies:

Current investments in subsidiaries and related companies detailed in Exhibit C, have been valued by using the equity method of accounting based on the unaudited financial statements at September 30, 2007 issued by them. The accounting standards used by the subsidiaries to prepare their unaudited financial statements are the same as those used by the Company. The accounting standards used by the related companies to prepare their unaudited financial statements are those currently in effect.

The unaudited Financial Statements of Banco Hipotecatrio S.A. and Banco de Crédito y Securitizatión S.A. are prepared in accordance with the BCRA standards. For the purpose of valuation of the investment in the Company adjustments necessary to adequate the unaudited financial statements to the professional accounting standards have been considered.

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

  i. (Continued)

 

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

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

Corporations purchased by the Company were recorded in line with the “acquisition method” set forth in Technical Resolution No. 18. All assets and liabilities acquired to third independent parties were adjusted to show their fair value. The Company identified the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets like leasing contracts acquired in higher or lesser conditions to market conditions, costs included in entering into current lease contracts (the last being the market cost that the Company avoids paying for acquiring leasing contracts in operation) and intangible value of relations with customers. The process of identification and the determination of the price paid is a matter that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.

The Company used the information contained in valuations estimated by independent appraisers as primary base for assigning the price paid for the land and the building acquired. The amounts assigned to all the other assets and liabilities were based on independent valuations or in the Company´s own analysis on comparable assets and liabilities. The current value of tangible assets acquired considers the property value as if it were empty.

Under the terms of Technical Resolution No. 21, taking into account that the market value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities identified exceed the price paid, the intangible assets acquired were not recognized as the would give rise to an increase of the negative goodwill at the time of purchase.

 

   

Certificates of participation in IRSA I financial trust:

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

Undeveloped parcels of lands:

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

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

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

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

 

  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/year.

 

   

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/year. The Company capitalizes accrued interest costs associated with long-term construction projects. However, during the period ended September 30, 2007 and in fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 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 each asset. 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.

 

   

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/year. 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 or conversion 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.

 

  n. Asset tax

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

At September 30, 2007, the Company has estimated the asset tax, recognizing under “Other receivables” the amount estimated to be offset as payment on account of income tax in future years in accordance with current regulations, and expensing the remaining balance.

 

  o. Allowances and Provisions

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

  o. (Continued)

 

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, the Company has estimated the recoverable value of rental properties based on their economic use value, which is determined based on estimated future cash flows discounted. 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 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 September 30, 2007 and during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 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. The Company accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date, the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of these matters and the Company’s lawyers’ experience in contesting, litigating and settling other matters.

As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined, there may be changes in the estimates of future costs, which could have a effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

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

 

  p. Shareholders’ equity accounts

  u. Revenue recognition

 

  u.1. Sales of properties

The Company records revenue from the sale of properties when all of the following criteria are met:

 

   

the sale has been consummated;

 

   

there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the buyer’s ability and commitment to pay for the property;

 

   

the Company’s receivable is not subject to future subordination;

and

 

   

the Company has transferred the property to the buyer.

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting with respect to sales of development properties under construction. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs according to budgeted costs. The Company does not commence revenue and cost recognition until such time as the decision to proceed with the project is made and construction activities have begun.

The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Company’s Management to prepare budgeted costs in connection with sales of properties/units. All changes to estimated costs of completion are incorporated into revised estimates during the contract period.

 

  u.2. Leases

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

 

  v. Cash and cash equivalents

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

 

  w. Monetary assets and liabilities

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

 

  x. Vacation expenses

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

(1) Corresponds to an unsecured loan for a total amount of US$ 51 million, which falls due on November 20, 2009, with the principal being amortized in 20 quarterly installments with a two-year grace period. US$ 35 million of the principal accrue interest at the LIBO rate over three months plus 200 basis points, and US$ 16 million accrue interest at a fixed rate that is progressively increased. On July 25, 2003 the Company redeemed the mentioned US$ 16 million for US$ 10.9 million. In addition, on March 17, 2004, the Company redeemed US$ 12 million for a total amount of US$ 8.6 million. Additionally, the Company settled eleven installments amounting to US$ 6.9 million. Therefore, at September 30, 2007 the balance of principal amounts to US$ 12.2 million which matches the US$ 14.9 million discounted considering a market rate equivalent to 8% per year (See Note 25 to the unaudited financial statements).

At this date, the Company has settled eleven installments amounting to US$ 13.0 million. Consequently, at September 30, 2007 the Company recorded a total balance of US$ 19.9 million, which corresponds to US$ 24.3 million discounted at a market rate equivalent to 8% per year (See Note 25 to the unaudited financial statements).

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

(3) According to Note 13, these relate to Convertible Negotiable Obligations (CNO) issued for a total amount of US$ 100 million, which at period end amounted to US$ 0.86 million, net of issue expenses. Part of Convertible Negotiable Obligations are held by shareholders and related parties. (See Note 10).

12 of the Negotiable Obligations Law and other applicable regulations.

 

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

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

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

The holder is entitled to exchange each Negotiable Obligation issued by IRSA for 1.8347 shares (0.1835 GDS) and has an option to purchase the same number of shares at the exercise price set for the warrant.

Convertible Negotiable Obligations and options will fall due on November 14, 2007.

Convertible negotiable obligations were underwritten in full and were paid in cash and the proceeds used to restructure or partially settle the Company’s financial debt at the time of such subscription. Consequently, Note 7 to the unaudited financial statements shows the Company’s financial debt after the restructuring and placement mentioned above.

This figure may vary according to the future conversion of the negotiable obligations and the exercise of warrants for subscription of shares outstanding issued in 2002.

 

   

That such issuance be offered in subscription to the Shareholders in line with their right of first refusal or preferential and right to exercise purchase option. In case of a remnant, the Board is entitled to decide the allocation of such amount, that is, to cancel it or to place it either totally or partially with the investors. In this last assumption, the issuance conditions cannot be more favorable to such subscribers than the subscription terms offered to the shareholders.

 

   

That the determination of the subscription price of the first refusal and the definitive price of subscription (face value plus premium) of the new shares be delegated to the Board of Directors, taking into account a range of prices that will be fixed between the minimum and the maximum price of the Company´s listing of shares during a period from 5 to 180 day prior to the reference and definitive pricing.

 

   

That both the reference subscription price and the definitive subscription price be reported as established in the Listing Rules of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange. The Board of Directors will fix the definitive subscription price during the preference subscription period. To such extent, the definitive subscription price will be valid and applicable as regards all the new shares subscribed on exercising the right of first refusal and right to exercise purchase option regardless the reference subscription price.

 

   

That due to the potential damage that could be inflicted on the holders of the warrants issued in 2002 as they cannot entirely exercise the preferential subscription rights on the new shares, the extension of the term for exercising the warrants allowing, consequently, their exercising as from the next October 16 to the day of maturity on November 14, 2007, and with the purpose of participating in the current capital stock increase through the exercise of preferential subscription, the holders of warrants should exercise same until the 7th stock-market day prior to the beginning of the preferential subscription period.

 

   

The possibility to establish an incentives system for encouraging the subscription, which consists in the subscriber receiving per share subscribed a warrant with no additional charge that will give him the future right to subscribe a fraction of 0.3334 shares, that is, to acquire a new share, three warrants should be exercised.

 

   

That the newly issued shares for exercising the warrants have the same rights than the shares outstanding at the time of exercising such warrants.

 

   

As regards dividends, the right will be only on the dividends approved subsequent to exercising the warrant.

 

   

The capital stock increase that would be necessary due to exercising the warrants, delegating in the Board of Directors their effective registration.

 

   

That the determination of the remaining terms and conditions of offering of the warrants including, without limitation, the manner, time of issuance and price of exercise, different version of prospectus, executive notices and any other documentation deemed necessary for implementing the resolution of the Meeting of Shareholders, be delegated on the Board of Directors.

 

   

That such price consists of the definitive subscription price of the new shares added a premium equivalent to no more than 100% of such definitive subscription price.

SUMMARY as of September 30, 2007

Economic activity in Argentina has continued to grow at high rates for the fourth consecutive year, with no signs of deceleration.

Public accounts have remained in surplus: in the September 2006 – August 2007 period, the cumulative primary surplus accounted for 3.9% of the GDP, whereas the financial surplus reached 1.8% of the GDP for the same period. Central Bank reserves have stood at high levels (around 43 billion dollars).

In this context the economy seems steady and more resistant to potential external shocks.

The Salary Variation Coefficient experienced a 15.7% year to date increase in 2007 and the unemployment rate for the second quarter of this year went down to 8.5%, bolstering consumption, which will be reflected in higher activity levels in our shopping centers.

Consumption has continued on the rise. Considering the average for the first 8 months of 2007, shopping center sales have shown a positive development in the whereabouts of 27.9% compared to the same period of the previous year. The positive expansion of these indicators is testament to the good momentum of our tenants’ stores in the various shopping centers.

Construction rates have shown increasing costs (the construction cost rate projects a 20% annual increase for 2007) and the growth rate of the summary indicator of construction activities (ISAC in Spanish), although positive, is lower than the one recorded in the past years. This shows the higher competition recently observed in the industry, a factor that weighted in our decision to make progress in the organization of IRSA-Cyrela, an alliance through which we seek to take advantage of our partners’ know-how of the building industry and develop our future projects even more efficiently.

The hotel segment, and five stars hotels in particular, have been favored in the last five years by the increase in the number of tourists with high purchasing power. According to data released by the INDEC, the inflow of foreign tourists to Argentina increased 14% during the first six months of calendar 2007 compared to the same period of the previous year, resulting in a 25.8% growth in the tourists’ total spending during the period. In addition, the demand for four and five star hotels increased 8.3%, whereas high category hotel guests’ spending reached 9.4%.

One of the bottlenecks faced by the industry is the shortage of mortgage loans, which the group will attempt to consolidate in the next years through Banco Hipotecario. The Argentine mortgage market is still undeveloped, as shown by its meager 1.98% share of the GDP in August 2007 compared to countries such as Spain, Ireland, Holland, England, the United States and Denmark which have mortgage levels accounting for 50% to 100% of the GDP, showing the growth potential this business segment has.

In turn, in various Latin American countries there is a favorable macroeconomic context for the development of real estate projects, given the strong demand for shopping center stores and rental office space and the growth and stability path these economies have been enjoying in recent years. For this reason, we are evaluating certain projects in countries of the region, capitalizing on our experience in the management of office and retail spaces.

Comments on results for the quarter ended September 30 2007

Net results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 showed a Ps.30.0 million loss compared to a Ps.15.6 million profit recorded in the same period of fiscal year 2007. Rather than a deficiency in operating performance -which quite the opposite, improved its results- this result reflects the increase in financial expenses and results from other companies.

In the first place, operating income increased 7.6%, from Ps.51.3 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2007 to Ps.55.2 million in the same period of fiscal year 2008, mainly driven by improved revenues, which grew by 15.3% to Ps.195.6 million as compared to Ps.169.6 million recorded in the same period of fiscal year 2007. The participation of the different segments in net revenues was: sales and developments, Ps.1.2 million; offices and other lease properties Ps.20.7 million; shopping centers, Ps.80.1 million; hotels Ps.35.3 million; credit cards, Ps.58.0 million; and financial and other transactions, Ps.0.3 million.

Secondly, results generated by assets decreased while those generated by liabilities rose quarter-on-quarter, increasing the net financial loss to Ps.40.7 million compared to the Ps.3.0 million loss recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Several factors contributed to these results. On the one hand, financial transactions


experienced a loss, mainly due to the drop in the market value of our interests in investment funds. On the second hand, the dollar exchange rate depreciated by 1.8% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, increasing the peso value of foreign denominated liabilities and exchange losses. Finally, IRSA’s and APSA’s Notes issued in fiscal period 2007 generated interest that translated into higher financing expenses.

Finally, results from related companies showed a loss of Ps.19.5 million compared to a profit of Ps.1.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2007, mainly due to the loss derived from our interest in Banco Hipotecario.

First quarter of fiscal year 2008 highlights, including significant operations occurred after the end of the period.

I. Offices and Other Rental Properties

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, income from rental properties totaled Ps.20.7 million, compared to Ps.9.5 million in the same period of fiscal year 2007. This substantial growth was mainly due to the improvement in the rental prices of our buildings and the addition of new square meters resulting from our recent purchases.

Our office buildings, which total 154,137 sqm. of leaseable area, continue to have full occupancy rates, reaching 99.1% during the first three months of fiscal year 2008 compared to 96.1% in the first three months of the previous fiscal year, representing a 0.9% vacancy rate in our offices, way below the market rate, which stands at almost 3% according to Colliers International records, evidencing the high quality of our properties and the Company’s strong position. Moreover, these figures are far below those recorded during the convertibility period, which exceeded 6%.

The sustained increase in demand for rental space and scarce supply of rental properties have bolstered the recovery in prices, which have already reached and even surpassed in dollar terms the levels reached during the convertibility period. The average rental price of class A offices stands at US$/sqm. 23 per month according to Colliers International, and at US$/sqm. 30 per month for class AAA offices according to L.J. Ramos Brokers Inmobiliarios. It should be noted that as most lease agreements are executed for a 36-month term, the effect of this recovery will be shown in the results for the successive years. At present, our office portfolio stands at US$/sqm. 16 per month, which value will be gradually updated as our lease agreements are renewed.

The promising future in this business segment encourages us to continue studying the possibility of adding new spaces to our portfolio, either through construction or purchase of built properties with proven yield, in top-rated locations. Our future projects include the addition of 11,000 sqm. of leaseable area in Dique IV in Puerto Madero, currently under construction, which implies a total investment of approximately Ps. 45 million. Work progress is 15%, and completion is scheduled for December 31, 2008.

In addition, on August 28 of this fiscal year we executed the deed of purchase of 50% of the property known as “Edificio Bank Boston”, located in the exclusive area of Catalinas. This property is one of the most modern and emblematic office buildings in Buenos Aires, designed by the renowned architect César Pelli, and the purchase price has been paid in full.

In addition, since December 2006 we have a purchase option in respect of the building known as “Edificio República”, located in the intersection of Tucumán and Bouchard streets, which has 21 floors of luxury office space. This property is one of the most important office buildings in the City of Buenos Aires, and like Edificio Bank Boston, it was also designed by the eminent César Pelli. We expect to exercise this purchase option in the next months.

II. Alto Palermo S.A (“APSA”): Shopping Centres and Tarjeta Shopping

The following information relates to data extracted from the balance sheet of our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), the company that operates our shopping center and credit card business, in which we had a 62.5% interest as of September 30, 2007.

Net income for the quarter was Ps. 21.1 million, compared to Ps. 19.3 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. In terms of percentages, this improvement stands for a 9.4% increase.

Total revenues as of September 30, 2007, amounted to Ps. 138.1 million, i.e., 36.7% higher than the total revenues recorded in the same period of the previous year. This increase mainly results from the consumer spending momentum, which has fostered sales in our shopping center and credit card segments.

Gross profit for the period showed a noteworthy 27.3% increase, from Ps.67.2 million as of September 30, 2006 to Ps. 85.5 million as of September 30, 2007. Thus, consolidated operating income for the period amounted to Ps.47.2 million compared to Ps.44.1 million obtained in the same period of the previous year, which stands for a 7.1% increase.

EBITDA1 for the quarter totaled Ps.66.8 million representing a 11% increase compared to the EBITDA for the same period of the previous year.

Our tenants’ sales have continued to grow, reaching Ps.852.8 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, 33.2% higher in nominal terms than those recorded in the same period of the previous year.


1

EBITDA represents the operating income plus depreciation and amortization charges.

EBITDA is not regarded as a generally accepted accounting measure and should therefore not be used to measure financial or operating performance.


In addition, the business success of our tenants continues to increase demand for space at our shopping centers. In this way, we have maintained an occupancy rate of 97.2%. The evolution of this variable also evidences the excellent quality of our shopping centers’ portfolio.

Panamerican Mall Project, City of Buenos Aires. In December 2006 we entered into several agreements for the construction, marketing and management of a new shopping center to be developed in the neighborhood of Saavedra, City of Buenos Aires, by Panamerican Mall S.A., a recently organized company in which we hold a 80% interest. The project includes the construction of a shopping center, a hypermarket, a cinema complex and an office building and/or a residential building. This is one of the Company’s most important projects. In March 2007 we started to build the shopping center, which we expect to open between November 2008 and April 2009.

Purchase of plot in Córdoba. On September 25 last, the Company signed with the Government of the Province of Córdoba the title deed of one of the plots where the Patio Olmos Shopping Center is currently operating. In addition, the relevant concession agreement was also transferred, and the agreed purchase price balance of Ps.22.7 million was paid. Management of this shopping center is vested in a third party, who has been granted a concession for its operation until the year 2032.

Neuquén Project. On September 20, 2007, the Municipality of Neuquén approved the feasibility of our new urban project and environmental impact study for the development of the Company’s residential project in the City of Neuquén.

In the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, the sales and developments segment recorded revenues of Ps.1.2 million, compared to Ps.29.7 million in the same period of the previous year.

Cruceros, Dique II. This is a unique project in the Puerto Madero area consisting in an apartment building with a surface area of 6,400 sqm of which 3,633 sqm were owned by the Company. As of September 30, 2007 works have been fully completed and there is only one unit 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 construction of these two exclusive residential buildings of 42 and 51 floors. In the light of the development boom in this area, the project has aroused great expectations in the market, given its outstanding features. As of September 30, 2006, in view of the market’s interest in this project, sales were launched in Tower 1, whose current degree of progress is 81.7%. As of September 30, 2007, 76.4% of our units had been sold, with four units pending sale. In connection with Tower 2, as of September 30, 2007, the preliminary building tasks had started, and the degree of work progress was 17.5%. After the closing of the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, on November 2, 2007, the Company and the developer decided to replace the swap agreement for Tower 2 for a payment of US$18.2 million, US$4.6 million of which were paid on that date and the balance will be received by the Company over the next six months. The income resulting from this transaction, amounting to approximately US$4.7 million, will be reflected in the results for the next quarter.

Barrio Chico (formerly San Martín de Tours). This is a unique project in Barrio Parque, the most exclusive residential area in the city of Buenos Aires. Sales in this project were launched in May last year, with a high degree of success. Previously, efforts had been made to develop the image of the product, in whose context the designation chosen was “Barrio Chico” and was accompanied by advertising in the most important printing media. As of September 30, 2007, the project had been completed and three units were pending sale.

Caballito. On May 4, 2006 we entered into a US$7.5 million swap agreement with Koad S.A. 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 risk, a residential complex known as “Caballito Nuevo” that will include two apartment towers of 34 floors each, with 1, 2 and 3 room units of 40 to 85 sqm. surface area, including a wide variety of amenities and services. 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 based on terms of delivery. At present, the degree of progress is 8.0% and marketing is expected to be launched during this fiscal year. In connection with the required consents, qualification of the development under the condominium property regime has been obtained and the related registration with the Real Estate Registry has been made.

Benavidez, Tigre. In the district of Benavidez, Municipality of Tigre, 35 km north from downtown Buenos Aires, we are developing a 99.8 hectare gated residential complex known as “El Encuentro”. It


will have a privileged front access to Highway No. 9, allowing an easy way to and from the city. Given the rise in the values of land in the Northern area of the Province of Buenos Aires, particularly in the area in which the development is located, our expectations regarding sales of the lots to be received pursuant to the swap agreement are highly positive. As of September 30, 2007, the degree of progress of the works was 93.0% and preliminary marketing tasks had already started.

Canteras Natal Crespo, Province of Córdoba. The preliminary guidelines for the development of the project have already been laid down. With the engagement of the Chilean architecture firm URBE a Master Plan has been developed. Filing of the applications for preliminary approval is underway, and the Municipality of La Calera has already approved the feasibility of the location for the projected real estate development and the feasibility of its electric power requirements. The project will be characterized by its attractive and varied offer of residential plots and areas of low and medium density housing. 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.

Solares de Santa María, City of Buenos Aires, (formerly, Santa María del Plata). Solares de Santa María is a 70-hectare property facing the River Plate, located in the south border of Puerto Madero (at 10 minutes’ distance from the Government House) where we plan to start developing an urban project through our subsidiary Solares de Santa María S.A. (Solares), in which we hold a 90% equity interest. The project has been designed with a residential profile and also features mixed uses, including offices, retail stores, hotels, sports and sailing clubs and service support areas such as a school, supermarket, parking areas, etc., and has been conceived as a new neighborhood in the City of Buenos Aires.

So as to optimize and achieve project start-up, while the consents and authorizations from the Buenos Aires Government are obtained the Company has made contacts with investors with international experience in this kind of real estate developments.

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 purchase price was US$7.0 million, US$4.2 million of which were paid in cash and the balance of US$2.8 million was financed through a mortgage payable in 36 equal, consecutive, monthly installments of US$0.086 million each. The plot is located on the shore of Gutierrez Lake, in the surroundings of the Llao Llao Hotel, in an unequalled natural frame, and has a 1,000 sqm. chalet designed by architect Ezequiel Bustillo. The Company is evaluating the possibility of developing a condo hotel on the site.

Organization of IRSA-CYRELA and Vicente Lopez residential project. The Company entered into an agreement with Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Partiçipacões for the development of residential projects in the Republic of Argentina through CYRSA S.A., which will operate under the name of IRSA—CYRELA. IRSA-CYRELA (CYRSA) will develop high-quality real estate projects targeted at different publics under a new concept of common installations and facilities that will allow its customers to enjoy a new lifestyle, based on security, comfort and service. At this stage, CYRSA will start operations with an initial investment of US$60 million committed equally by both partners.

In August 2007, IRSA contributed to CYRSA 100% of the stock capital of Rummaala, valued at $21.5 MM. Rummaala’s main asset is a plot of land located in the district of Vicente López, where the first IRSA-CYRELA real estate project will be developed. CYRELA made a contribution in the Company for the same amount. Both contributions were capitalized, resulting in the following capital stock structure in CYRSA: IRSA: 50% and CYRELA: 50%.

Below is a detail of the sales and properties being developed by IRSA as of September 30, 2007.

IV. Hotels

Income from the hotel segment for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 amounted to Ps.35.3 million, compared to Ps.28.6 million recorded for fiscal 2007.

Higher income reflected mainly increases in rates, which were up 14.2% compared to the same period of the previous year. Average rates increased to Ps.537 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, compared to Ps.470 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

In view of the consolidation of the excellent performance of the hotel business fueled by local and international tourism, during this quarter we continued works for the construction of 42 new rooms in the Llao Llao hotel, a first-class resort, unique in Argentina both for its services and location. Also in this respect we have started improvement and refurbishment works at the Sheraton Libertador Hotel, located in the downtown area of Buenos Aires.

Approval of stock capital increase after the closing of the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. On October 10, 2007 the Shareholders’ Meeting approved a stock capital increase for up to Ps.280 million par value, through the issuance of up to 280 million new common, book-entry shares of Ps.1.00 par value each and carrying one vote per share, entitled to dividends under the same conditions as the shares that are outstanding at the time of their issuance, to be publicly offered in Argentina or abroad.

We expect to use the proceeds of the offering to finance an increase in our shareholding interest in Banco Hipotecario to up to 29.0% of its Class D shares and to make future investments in the real estate business, in line with our business strategy, both in Argentina and in other Latin American countries such as Brazil, Peru, Uruguay and Colombia.

VI. Brief comment on outlook for the next quarter

Economic activity in Argentina has continued to grow at high rates for the fourth consecutive year. The main drivers of this expansion process are consumption and investment, variables that have a highly positive impact on our business, causing the outlook for the next quarters of fiscal year 2008 to continue being favorable.

Regarding the office market, given the shortage of square meters available and few developments under construction, we will make further progress in our policy of consolidation in the A and AAA segment through the purchase of built surface area and the development of new projects. Along these lines, in August 2007 the Company executed the deed of purchase of 50% of the property known as “Edificio Bank Boston” and has a purchase option in respect of the building known as “Edificio República”, two of the most modern and emblematic office buildings in the City of Buenos Aires, both of them designed by the renowned architect César Pelli. Also noteworthy is the fact that the projected appreciation of the price per square meter has not been fully reflected in our financial statements, as the rates of the lease agreements for most of the properties in our asset portfolio have still not been reviewed. Consequently, we consider that the evolution of income from this business segment will be much favorable over the next quarters of this fiscal year.

The success obtained in the positioning and in the sales of our Shopping Centers encourages us to continue improving our vast variety of commercial proposals, subject to the needs of consumers and latest trends. During this fiscal year we intend to continue to increase our portfolio of assets in this segment.

The number of tourists visiting Argentina in the first half of calendar 2007 recorded an increase of almost 15% compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase is mainly due to the numerous attractions that Argentina offers to tourists and the favorable exchange rate. These circumstances have helped the hotel industry to thrive, encouraging us to introduce improvements in the infrastructure of our hotels in order to continue to supply them with excellent service.

Finally, we must mention the concealed value of our Company which is materialized in its strategically located land reserves, such as the plots in Puerto Madero, Caballito, Neuquén, Rosario and Córdoba, among others. In the future we will continue developing these land reserves mainly through residential and office developments, shopping centers and hotels. In this regard, as concerns the residential market, we entered into an agreement with Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Partiçipacões for the development of residential projects in the Republic of Argentina through CYRSA S.A., which will operate under the name of IRSA – CYRELA. IRSA-CYRELA (CYRSA) will develop high-quality real estate projects targeted at different publics under a new concept of common installations and facilities that will allow its customers to enjoy a new lifestyle based on security, comfort and service.


APPENDIX

Result of the Operations for the three month-periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

All references made below to 2007 and 2006 are to the Company’s three month-periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Revenue

Revenue increased by 15.3%, that is from Ps. 169.6 million in 2006 to Ps. 195.6 million in 2007, principally due to an increase in revenue of our Credit Card, Commercial Centers, Office and other and Hotels segments, partially offset by a reduction in revenue from Sales and developments and Financial operations and other operations segments.

Sales and developments

Revenue from Sales and developments segment decreased by 95.9% from Ps. 29.7 million in 2006 to Ps. 1.2 million in 2007. This business segment does not show recurrent revenue due to its nature; consequently the comparison between periods may vary significantly in accordance with the projects that the Company is developing and its development stage. The decrease of revenue of this segment was principally due to: (i) the absence in 2007 of the Ps. 29.7 million recognized during 2006 principally arising from the following operations: 1) revenue of Ps. 26.2 million for the sale of plot Z, Dock III; and 2) revenue of Ps. 2.8 million for the sale of Edificios Cruceros units. The absence of revenue of Ps. 29.7 million mentioned above was partially offset by revenue recognized during 2007 of Ps. 0.9 million arising from the sale of the San Martín de Tours units.

Office and other

Revenue from our Office and other segment increased by 117.8% going from Ps. 9.5 million in 2006 to Ps. 20.7 million in 2007. This increase was principally due to an increase of Ps. 11.6 million in revenue for rental of offices that is from Ps. 8.7 million in 2006 to Ps. 20.2 million in 2007. This increase was due to: (i) rental revenue of Ps. 6.7 million from new class A office buildings, of which Dock del Plata, acquired in November 2006, generated revenue for Ps. 1.9 million; Bouchard 551, acquired in March 2007, generated revenue for Ps. 3.4 million; and Della Paolera 265, acquired in August 2007, generated revenue for Ps. 1.4 million. All the buildings are fully occupied; and (ii) an increase in office rentals of Ps. 4.9 million as a result of the increase in prices per square meter and to greater occupation rates of our rental buildings, which increased from 92% in 2006 to 99% in 2007.

Commercial centers

Revenue from our Commercial center segments increased by 31.7% from Ps. 60.9 million in 2006 to Ps. 80.1 million in 2007. Such increase was principally due to and increase of Ps. 15.8 million of the revenue for rentals and admission rights as a consequence of 28.8% increase in the total sales of our lessees, which increased from Ps. 660.2 million in 2006 to Ps. 850.5 million in 2007 resulting in larger revenue per percentage of rentals. The average occupation rate of our Commercial Centers decreased from 99.2% in 2006 to 97.9% in 2007.

Hotels

Revenue from our hotel operations increased 23.3% from Ps. 28.6 million in 2006 to Ps. 35.3 million in 2007, principally due to an increase of 14.3% in the average price per room in our hotels of Ps. 470.0 in 2006 to Ps. 537.0 in 2007. Increases in revenue in 2007 compared to 2006 from the following hotels amounted to Ps. 3.3 million from Hotel Llao Llao, Ps. 2.6 million from Hotel Intercontinental, Ps. 0.8 million from Hotel Sheraton Libertador. These increases are accompanied by an increase in the average occupation rates from 68.1% during 2006 to 73.6% in 2007.


Revenue from our Credit card operations recorded 44.1% increase passing from Ps. 40.2 million during 2006 to Ps. 58.0 million during 2007. Such increase resulted from: (i) the favorable macroeconomic conditions during 2007, that was shown in the increase of commissions for sales in supermarkets and shops; (ii) the issuance of 12,944 new credit cards; (iii) the continuing expansion of our services; (iv) an increase in interest revenue in connection with financing granted to our clients; and (v) an increase of 28.4% in revenue from our credit card, Tarjeta Shopping, and an increase of 31.8% in the shops that accept our credit card.

Financial operations and other operations

Revenue from our Financial Operations and other operations segment decreased Ps. 0.5 million from 0.7 million in 2006 to Ps. 0.3 million in 2007. Revenue included in this segment represents fees for services with no specific imputation to any of the prior segments.

Cost of sales, rentals and services

Our costs increased 0.1% from Ps. 81.3 million in 2006 to Ps. 81.4 million in 2007 as a result of an increase in cost of Credit Cards, Commercial Centers, Office and Others and Hotels segments; partially offset by a reduction in the cost of Sales and Developments and Financial Operations and others segments.

Total costs as percentage of revenue decreased from 47.9% in 2006 to 41.6% in 2007.

Sales and developments

Costs related to Sales and developments decreased 96.4% from Ps. 28.5 million in 2006 to Ps. 1.0 million in 2007. This business segment does not show recurrent costs due to its nature; consequently the comparison between periods may vary significantly in accordance with the projects that the Company is developing and its development stage. The decrease in costs during 2007 was the result of the absence of 28.5 million costs of 2006 arising from the following operations: (i) Ps. 26.2 million related to the sale of plot 1.d “Z” of Dock III; and (ii) Ps. 1.7 million related to the sale of Edificio Cruceros units and the absence of 28.5 million above mentioned costs were partially compensated with the costs incurred in 2007 of Ps. 0.6 million related to the sale of San Martin de Tours units. Costs included in this segment as percentage of revenue decreased from 95.8% in 2006 to 83.2% in 2007.

Office and other

The costs of the Office and other segment increased 208.3% from Ps. 2.5 million in 2006 to Ps. 7.8 million in 2007. The principal cost component in the office segment is the depreciation of buildings rented. The increase during 2007 in comparison to 2006 was mainly due to: (i) an increase in amortization expense of Ps. 2.9 million as a result of the incorporation of three new buildings assigned to rental revenue, Bouchard 551, Della Paolera 265 and Dock del Plata; and (ii) an increase in amortization of Ps. 1.6 million, as a result of a change in the remaining useful lives of rent buildings, which was reduced from an average of 496 months in 2006 to an average of 253 months in 2007.

Commercial centers

Costs related with Commercial centers increased 38.3% from Ps. 18.7 million in 2006 to Ps. 25.9 million in 2007. This increase principally originated in: (i) increase in costs for not recovered expenses of Ps. 2.4 million; (ii) a higher depreciation and amortization charge of Ps. 2.2 million; (iii) an increase in costs related to reforms and modifications in Locative areas of 1.4 million; and (iv) an increase in contingency costs of Ps. 0.8 million. The cost of the Commercial center segment as percentage on revenue from the same business unit increased from 30.8% in 2006 to 32.3% in 2007.


Hotels

Costs of Hotel operations increased 25.9% from Ps. 15.7 million in 2006 to Ps. 19.8 million in 2007 principally due to an increase in salaries and social security charges, assets depreciation, food and beverages, fees for commissions and services. Costs of Hotel Llao Llao increased Ps. 1.6 million, of Hotel Intercontinental Ps. 1.5 million and of Hotel Sheraton Libertador Ps. 1.0 million. Costs of hotel operations as percentage of revenue of this segment increased from 54.9% in 2006 to 56.0% in 2007.

Credit cards

The cost of the Credit cards segment increased 74.8% from Ps. 15.4 million in 2006 to Ps. 26.8 million in 2007. Increases were principally due to: (i) an increase of Ps. 3.8 million in expenses for interest and commissions due to the outsourcing of collections and money transportation; (ii) an increase of Ps. 3.6 million in the cost of salaries and social security charges as a result of 30% increased in personnel; (iii) an increase in the charge for fees and services to third parties of Ps. 1.3 million; (iv) higher charges for taxes, rates, contributions and services of Ps. 1.3 million; and (v) an increase in charges for leases, rates and services of Ps. 1.0 million.

The cost of Credit cards as percentage of revenue of such segment increased from 38.2% in 2006 to 46.3% in 2007.

Financial operations and other operations

The cost of the Financial Operations and other operations segment decreased Ps. 0.4 million from Ps. 0.5 million in 2006 to Ps. 0.1 million in 2007. Costs included in this line represents expenses not related to any of our other segments.

Gross profit

As a result of the above, gross profit increased 29.3% from Ps. 88.4 million in 2006 to Ps. 114.2 million in 2007, mainly as a result of the improvement of the gross profit of Commercial Centers, Credit Cards, Office and others and Hotels segments, which was partially offset by a decrease in the gross profit of Sales and Developments, Financial operations and other operations segments. The gross profit, calculated as a percentage of revenue, increased from 52.1% in 2006 to 58.4% in 2007.

Gain from recognition of inventories at net realizable value

This line was generated due to having valued at net realization value inventories in respect of which we received a purchase price or pre-payments for rentals that fix prices, and the contract conditions of the operations that establish the concretion of the sales and the profits. This business segment does not show recurrent revenue; consequently the comparison between periods may vary significantly in accordance with the projects that the Company is developing and its development stage. During 2007 Ps. 1.9 million were recorded accepted and mainly applied to the following developments: “Dock III – Plot X” for Ps. 1.8 million.

During 2006 the Company recorded a gain of Ps. 2.2 million mainly related to “San Martin de Tours” for an amount of Ps. 1.9 million and “Dock III – plot X” for an amount of Ps. 0.3 million.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses increased 78.0% from Ps. 14.8 million in 2006 to Ps. 26.3 million in 2007 principally due to an increase in the selling expenses of the Credit cards, Commercial centers and Hotels segments. Selling expenses as percentage of revenue increased from 8.7% in 2006 to 13.5% in 2007.
