NOTE 1: BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION – CORPORATE CONTROL

 

  a. Basis of consolidation

The Company has consolidated its unaudited balance sheets at September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006 and the unaudited statements of income and cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 line by line with the financial statements of its subsidiaries, following the procedure established in Technical Resolution No. 21 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences and approved by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and by the National Securities Commission.

Consolidated Financial statements corresponding to the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 have not been audited. The Company´s management believes they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably show the consolidated results of each period.

Consolidated Results for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 do not necessarily reflect the portion of the company´s consolidated results for such complete years. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 September 30, 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 September, 2005 were reclassified for disclosure on a comparative basis with those for the period ended September 30, 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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 Company’s revenues mainly stem from office leases, shopping center operations, development and sale of real estate, hotel operations and, to a lesser extent, from e-commerce activities.

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 tenant’s monthly gross retail sales (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 8% of tenant’s gross sales).

Furthermore, pursuant to the rent adjustment clause in most leases, the tenant’s 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 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 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. The Company also charges its tenants a monthly administration fee, prorated among the tenants according to their leases, which 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. Those expenses are amortized by the straight-line method in 3 years for each one of the shoppings centers, 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 that not exceeds 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. and Emprendimiento Recoleta S.A., which is amortized through the straight-line method over a period that not exceeds 10 years.

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 Company’s 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.

NOTE 16: (Continued)

A privileged first grade mortgage was granted on the property of Hoteles Argentinos S.A., where the Buenos Aires Sheraton Libertador is functioning.

As a result of the economic situation of the country, the lack of credit and the crisis of the Argentine financial system, principal installments of US$ 300 each falling due as from January 26, 2002 and the interest installments for a total amount of US$ 2,459 falling due as from July 29, 2002, were not paid by HASA.

On March 5, 2004, BankBoston N.A. formally notified HASA that as from March 10, 2004 it assigned to Marathon Master Fund Ltd., domiciled at 461 Fifth Avenue, 10th floor, New York, NY 10017, USA, all the rights and obligations arising from the loan agreement entered into on January 26, 2001 with HASA as borrower and BankBoston N.A., as lender, together with all the changes, guarantees and insurance policies related to that contract.

Consequently, all pending obligations of HASA must be fulfilled in favor of the assignee, Marathon Master Fund Ltd.

On December 16, 2004 Ritelco S.A. purchased the loan of US$ 12,951 that the Company’s controlled subsidiary Hoteles Argentinos S.A. (80%) owed Marathon Master Fund, Ltd.

On March 23, 2005 Ritelco S.A. sold to Credit Suisse International (“CSI” formarly Credit Suisse First Boston) the loan agreement for US$ 8,000 in cash and the Company entered into an agreement with CSI pursuant to which, among other things, the Company guarantees the payment of the debt owed by HASA and in the event of non-compliance the Company shall repurchase the loan agreement mentioned. As guarantee for this transaction, the Company made a payment of US$ 2,000 to CSI which is disclosed as a “guarantee of defaulted credit”. If HASA punctually complies with its obligations, the Company will receive for this transaction periodical funds flow.

In the mentioned refinancing context the board of directors of HASA, in the meeting held on April 17, 2006, made an evaluation of the matters related to the original debt refinancing and decided to modify and amend the original loan agreement (Amended and Restated Loan Agreement) in order to reduce the outstanding amount of the original loan capital and postpone its maturity to March 15, 2010.

On April 21, 2006, HASA and CSI, entered into a Modified Loan contract in the following terms:

As condition precedent for carrying out the mentioned re-structuring, Credit Suisse compelled the payment of US$ 2,000 for partial cancellation of the matured and unpaid original debt. Also, the payment capital conditions of the modified loan and interest were agreed as follows:

  b) The principal installments will be paid with interest on the outstanding principal loan to be amortized as stated in clause 2.3 of the Modified Loan Contract, according to the following detail:

 

    Period 03-15-2006 to the effective day of the contract (04-21-2006), interest was accrued on US$ 8,000 at an annual 12.07% rate. The Company did not pay any other interest accrued up to the effective date, including interest on loan arrears.

 

    From 04-21-2006 to 09-15-2006, interest was accrued on the outstanding principal at an annual 12.07% rate.

 

    As from 09-15-2006, the loan will accrue:

 

  (A) Interest at an annual rate equal to six-month LIBO, as determined by CSI the second working day prior to each interest period, plus the applicable margin of 7,0% (the “Interest Rate”), and
  (B) Interest will accrue as from the first day of each interest period inclusive and will be payable twice a year on arrears on each interest payment date.

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. Consequently, the fourth paragraph of such instrument was changed and it was established that the asset mortgaged assure the proper compliance in time of all the Obligations arising from the Modified Loan Contract.

In addition to the Modified Loan Contract entered into with HASA and its financial creditor CSI, two credit default swaps were subscribed. One between IRSA and CSI for 80% of the restructured debt value, this being an amendment of the previous one signed, and the other one is a credit default swap between Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. (Starwood) and CSI for 20% of the restructured debt value.

In line with the Company’s labor and experience in financial matters and in debt restructuring and –having already acted in favor of HASA in the negotiations with the previous creditors of the Original Loan- HASA hired the services of the Company for

advising, consulting, defending and negotiating the interests of HASA in respect of the debt restructuring. As payment for this professional service, HASA agreed with the Company a fee of US$ 1,377 plus taxes.

In its capacity as shareholder of HASA, Hoteles Sheraton de Argentina S.A.C. has agreed HASA to pay to the Company a valuable consideration for its management of the debt restructuring process. To such end, on August 8, 2006 Sheraton entered into a loan agreement with HASA for US$ 341 (the “Sheraton Loan”), destinated by HASA to a partial payment (20%) of the IRSA´s fee.

HASA binds itself to pay the debt to Sheraton in five semi-annual consecutive installments, as follows:

 

Installment I

   09.15.2006    US$ 62

Installment II

   03.15.2007    US$ 65

Installment III

   09.15.2007    US$ 68

Installment IV

   03.15.2008    US$ 71

Installment V

   09.15.2008    US$ 75

Together with each capital installment, HASA will pay a semi-annual interest service, except for the first installment for which the interest service was the period extending from 08.18.2006 to 09.15.2006. For the period starting 09.15.2006 and the next ones the capital will accrue an interest equivalent to LIBO rate for 180 days effective at the 48 bank working hours immediately prior to the date of maturity of the immediate prior installment, plus 450 basic percent points.

On August 18, 2006, the Company and Hoteles Argentinos S.A. entered into a “Debt Acceptance and Payment Commitment” contract by which HASA accepts that it owes the payment of fees at the mentioned date in the amount of US$ 1,366. Under the requirement of HASA, the parties agreed in refinancing the debt in five semi-annual consecutive installments, in accordance with the following dates and amounts:

 

Installment I

   09.15.2006    US$ 247

Installment II

   03.15.2007    US$  260

Installment III

   09.15.2007    US$ 273

Installment IV

   03.15.2008    US$ 286

Installment V

   09.15.2008    US$ 300

The Debt Acceptance and Payment Commitment entered into with the Company contains identical terms of applicable rate and dates for interest service that those of the Sheraton Loan Contract.

The Company and Sheraton, when agreeing the terms in which HASA will pay, have taken into account and given priority to the Sheraton Libertador Hotel restoration plan, so that cancellation of both obligations allow HASA to count with the funds to carry out such a plan.

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

APSA has ongoing revolving period securitization programs through which Tarshop S.A., a majority-owned subsidiary of APSA, transfers a portion of its customer credit card receivable balances to trusts that issues certificates to public and private investors.

Under the securitization programs, Trusts may issue two types of certificates representing undivided interests in 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.

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.

Under this Securitization Program, on September 30, 2006, Tarshop S.A. transferred to Trusts the total amount of Ps. 476.6 million of credits receivable originated in the use of its clients´ credit cards. Consequently, CP and TDF Series “A” were issued for Ps. 344.6 million, Series “B” for Ps. 30 million, CP Series “C” for Ps. 50.3 million, and Series “D” for Ps. 0.4 million. On the other hand, Tarshop S.A. acquired all the CP Series “C” in an amount equal to its nominal value, and all the remaining TDF and CP were placed to investors through a public offer in Argentina, with the exception of Ps. 3 million of a TDF Series “B” that Tarshop S.A. had acquired. As credit protection to investors, Tarshop S.A. has made a cash reserve for losses in the amount of Ps. 5.3 million.

NOTA 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 July 19, 2002, Alto Palermo S.A. issued Series I of Negotiable Obligations up to US$ 50,000 convertible into common shares, par value of Ps. 0.10 each. This series was fully subscribed and paid-up.

This issuance was resolved at the Ordinary and Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders held on December 4, 2001, approved by the National Securities Commission Resolution No.14,196 dated March 15, 2002 and authorized to list for trading on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange on July 8, 2002.

Main issue terms and conditions of the Convertible Negotiable Obligations are as follows:

 

    Issue currency: US dollars.

 

    Due date: On May 2, 2006, the Meeting of Shareholders decided to postpone the date of original maturity to July 19, 2014 this being the reason for the Convertible Negotiable Obligations (CNO) to be classified as non-current in these unaudited financial statements. Since the conditions of the CNO have not substantially modified, the postponement of the original maturity have not had an impact on these unaudited financial statements.

 

    Interest: at a fixed nominal rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually.

 

    Payment currency: US dollars or its equivalent in pesos.

 

    Conversion right: the notes can be converted at any time at the option of each holder into ordinary shares at a conversion price equivalent to the higher of the result from dividing the nominal value of the Company’s shares (Ps. 0.1) by the exchange rate and US$ 0.0324, which means that each Note is potentially exchangeable for 30.864 shares of Ps. 0.1 par value each.

 

    Right to collect dividends: the shares underlying the conversion of the negotiable obligations will be entitled to the same right to collect any dividends

 

    to be declared after the conversion as the shares outstanding at the time of the conversion.

At September 30, 2006, certain holders of Negotiable Obligations convertible into APSA common shares, have exercised their right to convert them for a total amount of US$ 2.77 million, with the consequent issuance of common stock of nominal value $0.1 per share. As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance of APSA Convertible Negotiable Obligations amounted to US$ 47.23 million, of which US$ 31.74 million correspond to IRSA’s holding which is eliminated in the consolidation process.

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, the 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 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.

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, the Company management recorded a reserve for an amount Ps. 4,603 as of September 30, 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.

The plaintiff’s lawyers (five complainants) 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, estimating the difference, in comparison with the amount already paid, in US$ 384. In a provisional remedy, due to the unpaid balance carried out in the

NOTE 26: (Continued)

court records under the claims of two of the lawyers, an order was issued to attach the Company’s current accounts, which occurred in March 2005 in the amount of Ps. 788. As of September 30, 2006, such attached funds amounts to Ps. 861.

The 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 September 30, 2006, the Company management has reserved the amount of Ps. 1,024. 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.

NOTE 27: OPTION FOR THE ACQUISITION OF BENAVIDEZ

In March 2004, DEESA notified Inversora Bolívar S.A. and the latter accepted the exercise of the mentioned option.

NOTE 30: CONTRIBUTED LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENT AND UNREALIZED GAINS

Operadora de Estaciones de Servicios S.A. (O.P.E.S.S.A.) made leasehold improvements on the property of Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A., which were capitalized as fixed assets., recognizing the related gain over the term of the contract. At period end, the amount of Ps. 215 was pending of accrual.

In March 1996 Village Cinema S.A. opened ten theatres with the multiplex cinema system, with an approximate surface of 4,100 sq. m. This improvement of a building of Mendoza Plaza Shopping, was capitalized as a fixed asset, with a balancing entry as unrealized gains and unrealized improvements made by third parties, recognizing the depreciation charges and the profits over a 50-year period. The lease agreement is for a period of 10 years, renewable for 4 consecutive equal periods, at the option of Village Cinema S.A. At period end, the amount of Ps. 10,702 was pending of accrual.

Also, gains to be accrued related to the construction of installations made by APSA by a lessee in the Abasto Shopping Center area, are included. APSA has recorded such installations as fixed assets based on the construction costs with the liability. Improvements are depreciated in net income accounts during the term of the rental. Such net depreciation of the improvement by third parties was not significant during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

On February 2, 1999 Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A. entered into a contract with Riocruz S.C.S. (C&A Shop), granting the latter a mutual right of way in perpetuity, for valuable consideration for the first ten years and subsequently free of charge. The price agreed for this easement is US$ 2,926 which was accrued over the amortization period of the property, as from April 1999, date on which it was registered with the Real Estate Record Office. On September 16, 2005 Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A. acquired the real estate that belonged to Riocruz S.C.S. (C & A Shop) and the easement right was left ineffective. Therefore, Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A. reflected for this operation an income of $2,428 as accelerated amortization which is shown in “Other income and expenses, net” of the unaudited statement of income.

NOTE 32: NEUQUEN PROJECT

On July 6, 1999 APSA acquired a 94.6% share in Shopping Neuquén S.A. amounting to Ps. 4.2 million. APSA paid Ps. 0.9 million on September 1, 1999 and the remaining Ps. 3.3 million were to be paid on July 5, 2001 or at the time of the opening of the shopping center to be constructed in the building owned by Shopping Neuquén S.A., whichever happened first. As of September 30, 2006 the remaining amount had not been paid yet.

The only asset of Shopping Neuquén S.A. is a plot of land of 50,000 square meters approximately, in which a shopping center would be built. The project included the building of a shopping center, a hypermarket, hotel and housing building. During June 2001 Shopping Neuquén S.A. requested to the Municipality of Neuquén an extension of the original construction schedule, and an authorization to transfer to third parties certain plots in which the land is divided so that each participant of the commercial development to be constructed would be able to build on its own land. The time extension should be approved by the Legislative Council of the Municipality of Neuquén.

On December 20, 2002 the Municipality of Neuquén issued Decree 1,437/02 by which the request of Shopping Neuquén S.A., in respect of extending the time term to build the development and the authorization to transfer a part of the plots to third parties, was denied. Also, the extinction of the rights arising from Ordinance number 5,178 was stated, terminating the purchase-sale contracts of land with loss both of improvements carried out and expenses incurred, in favor of the Municipality of Neuquén, having Shopping Neuquén S.A. no right to claim any indemnities.

Shopping Neuquén S.A. submitted a response to the above-mentioned Decree and requested on January 21, 2003 that the administrative action be revoked, and offered and attached a proof document including the reasons to request such annulment. It also requested to be allowed to submit a new schedule of time terms, which would be prepared in line with the current scenario and including reasonable short and medium term projections.

The Municipal Executive rejected the recourse referred to above through Decree 585/2003. Consequently, on June 25, 2003 Shopping Neuquén S.A. filed an “Administrative Procedural Action” with the High Court of Neuquén requesting among other issues, the annulment of Decrees 1,437/2002 and 585/2003 that the Municipal Executive issued.

On December 21, 2004 Shopping Neuquén was notified of a resolution of the High Court of Neuquén communicating the expiry of the administrative procedural action that the Company had filed against the Municipality of Neuquén. Such Court decision is not final.

As of September 30, 2006 Shopping Neuquén S.A. have an understanding with the Municipality of Neuquén with respect to the subscription of an agreement to establish the terms and conditions to re-activate the development and construction of the commercial business. Such terms and conditions will be necessarily incorporated in a new Municipal Ordinance that will either modify or annul the original one. The above-mentioned understanding provides for a new schedule for the enterprising development, as well as the possibility to transfer to third parties plots of land to be used for various purposes (hypermarkets, hotels, housing).

As part of the agreement, the Company will transfer to the Municipality of Neuquén a plot of land of its property.

Also, steps are being taken together with the appointed professionals as regards the new project that will be submitted to the Municipality of Neuquén, and to finally define the hypermarket operator who has ratified his will to participate in the project.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

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

and ended September 30, 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.

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 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, 2006 that the adoption of the new criteria would have generated would be a decrease in shareholders’ equity of approximately Ps. 188.2 millions with an impact in retained earnings.

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:

   9.9    9.7    9.7    158.9    188.2

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, 2006 shown in these unaudited financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.

1.4. (Continued)

The balances at September 30, 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.

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-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.

accounts published by the Argentine Central Bank in effect 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 have not been discounted. This criterion is not in accordance with current accounting standards in effect in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, which require those balances to be discounted. However, the effect resulting from this difference has not had a material impact on the unaudited financial statements.

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”.

g. Balances corresponding to financial transactions and sundry receivables and payables with related parties

Receivables and payables with related parties generated by financial transactions and other sundry transactions were valued in accordance with the terms agreed by the parties.

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 acquisition or construction cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. The Company maintains 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 interest costs of the property called “San Martín de Tours” were capitalized for Ps. 222. During the period ended September 30, 2006 there were no items charged to assets.

NOTE 1: (Continued)

1.5. (Continued)

h. (Continued)

Inventories on which advance payments that establish price have been received, and the operation’s 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”.

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.

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 financial statements at September 30, 2006 issued by them. The accounting standards used by the subsidiaries to prepare their financial statements are the same as those used by the Company. The accounting

 

53


IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

NOTE 1: (Continued)

1.5. (Continued)

i. (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.

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 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 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 September 30, 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.

•    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:

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.

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.

 

56


IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

NOTE 1: (Continued)

1.5. (Continued)

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, 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 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,

 

57


IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

NOTE 1: (Continued)

1.5. (Continued)

o. (Continued)

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 September 30, 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 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

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 under “Inflation adjustment of common stock” forming part of the shareholders’ equity.

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 Company’s 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. 92 and Ps. 119 for periods ended September 30, 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:

•    the sale has been consummated;

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

u. (Continued)

u.1. (Continued)

•    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 seven installments amounting to US$ 4.03 million. Therefore, at September 30, 2006 the balance of principal amounts to US$ 16.5 million which matches the US$ 19 million discounted considering a market rate equivalent to 8% per year.

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

 

(2) Corresponds to Negotiable Obligations secured by the assets described in Note 12.b. for US$ 37.4 million, which mature on November 20, 2009 with partial periodic amortization, and have quarterly interest payments at the LIBO rate over three months plus 200 basis points. At this date, the Company has settled seven installments amounting to US$ 6.5 million. Consequently, at September 30, 2006 the Company recorded a total balance of US$ 26.8 million, which corresponds to US$ 30.8 million discounted at a market rate equivalent to 8% per year.

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 (CNB) issued for a total amount of US$ 100 million, which at period end amounted to US$ 27.6 million, net of issue expenses amounting to Ps. 0.12 million.

NOTE 13: (Continued)

 

  b) Approving a subscription option for the CNO holders to subscribe common shares of the company at 1 (one) share per Ps.1 (one peso) of CNO face value, paying in cash Ps.1 (pesos one) as subscription price, during 15 days after the conversion term has expired, including the corresponding capital increase.

 

  c) Suppressing the preferential subscription and accretion rights, or reducing the term to exercise the preference, as provided by section 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.

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. This loan has a nominal value of US$ 12,812, such entity being the creditor. To guarantee the fulfillment of said contract, the Company transferred as guaranty the amount of US$ 4.0 million. If the debtor of such loan does not pay interest to CSI, the Company should pay quarterly interest at a LIBO rate added 450 basic points on a principal amount of US$ 6.0 million. Under such contract, during fiscal year 2006, due to non-compliance by the debtor of the credit, the Company made a payment to

NOTE 15: (Continued)

CSI of US$ 535. On October 2, 2006 the Company paid U$S 157 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

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 September 30, 2006)

Comment on operations during the quarter ended September 30 2006

After four years of strong growth, at the end of calendar 2006 the Argentine economy will show a significant 8.9%1 variation in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The main drivers of this expansion process are investment and private consumption. As a result of this expansion, in calendar 2006 unemployment will have decreased to 8.9%, the lowest level in the past 13 years.

The consumer confidence rate2 (ICC in Spanish) has remained stable at a high level. During the September measurement, the consumer confidence rate at the national level showed a monthly 5.5% increase which is 18.1% above the measurement posted in the same month of the previous year. Supermarket and shopping center sales are a clear example of this confidence: according to the figures recorded, sales in these segments for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 were 17.5% and 25.7% above the measurements posted for the same period of the previous calendar year.

Construction continues to be one of the main drivers of the Argentine economy. In the first nine months of calendar 2006 the summary indicator of construction activities (ISAC in Spanish) prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC in Spanish) showed a 20% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.

Prospects in the construction industry continue to be promising, given the results of the qualitative poll made by the INDEC in this sector. The INDEC inquired industry firms and analysts on the prospects for the fourth quarter of 2006. Among the entrepreneurs engaged in the development of private projects who were consulted, 73.1% answered that activity levels will remain steady during the October-December period; 23.1% consider that they will rise, while the remaining 3.8% believe they will decrease.

The hotel segment, and five stars hotels in particular, have been favored in the last four 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 19.6% during the first six months of calendar 2006, resulting in a 9.1% growth in the demand for four and five star hotels. In addition, there was a 19.1% increase in expenses incurred by high category hotel guests. In addition, the office segment is also thriving, hand in hand with the good performance of the economy. According to Cushman & Wakefield, Class A office leases are being renewed at prices ranging from US$/sq.m. 22 to US$/sq.m. 26.

Public finances continued to show a favorable evolution during the first nine months of calendar 2006, mainly due to the steady pace of growth in income. The primary result on a cash basis obtained by the National Non-Financial Public Sector was 8.4% above the figure for the same period in 2005. Measured in relation to the GDP, the primary surplus accumulated over the last 12 months amounted to 3.5%. This figure allowed the Government to comfortably pay the financial services corresponding to the interest accrued by the National Public Debt. Consequently, the financial result on a cash basis was 37.4% above the level obtained for the same period of the previous year.

In an attempt to curb spiraling inflation, the government made pricing agreements, mainly with the food and textile industries. Cumulative increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)3 for the January-September 2006 period was 11.2% (9.8% for goods and 13.4% for services). In addition, the Argentine Central Bank is also committed to reducing inflation rates through a strong deceleration in money stock growth.

As regards external accounts, Argentina will post a US$ 11.2 billion surplus in its trade balance during calendar 20064. According to the forecasts available, exports will increase by 13.1% whilst imports will increase by 19.2% thanks to the recovery in private consumption and to investment. In addition, the current account of the balance of payments will not only continue to be positive but will also increase by 17.4%.

In this context, net results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 showed a Ps.15.6 million profit compared to a Ps.18.6 million profit recorded in the same period of fiscal year 2006. This income may be explained as follows:

Operating income increased 54.5%, from Ps.33.4 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2006, to Ps.51.7 million in the same period of fiscal year 2007, mainly driven by improved revenues, which grew by 60.1% to Ps.169.6 million as compared to Ps.106.0 million recorded in fiscal year 2006. The participation of the different segments in net revenues was: sales and developments, Ps.29.7 million; offices and other lease properties Ps.9.5 million; shopping centers, Ps.101.1 million; hotels Ps.28.6 million; and financial and other transactions, Ps.0.7 million.

However, results from related companies (profit) reflected a quarter-on-quarter decrease, from Ps.19.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 to Ps.1.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2007, mainly due to lower results from our interest in Banco Hipotecario. In addition, income tax increased from a Ps.13.3 million loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to a Ps.18.9 million loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

First quarter of fiscal year 2007 highlights, including significant operations occurred after the end of the period.

I. Offices and Other Rental Properties

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, income from rental properties totaled Ps.9.5 million, compared to Ps.6.5 million in the same period of fiscal year 2006, mainly due to the sustained increase in occupancy levels and rates in our buildings.

Occupancy of our office buildings remains high, reaching 96.1% during the first three months of fiscal year 2007 compared to 95% in the first three months of the previous fiscal year.

The sustained increase in demand for rental space and scarce supply of rental properties has bolstered the recovery in prices. Although we are still far from our historical records of almost US$/sq.m. 30.0 (for class A spaces, recorded in 2000) there is a clearly rising trend. It should be noted that as most lease agreements are executed for a 36-month term, the effect of this recovery will be shown in the results for the successive years. At present, new lease agreements entered into by us reach approximately US$/sq.m. 24 for the class A segment.

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.

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 that operates our shopping centers, in which we had a 61.60% interest as of September 30, 2006.

Net income for the quarter was Ps. 19.3 million, compared to Ps. 9.3 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. In terms of percentages, this improvement stands for a 107.9% increase.

Total revenues as of September 30, 2006, amounted to Ps. 101.1 million, i.e., 37.2% higher than the total revenues recorded in the same period of the previous year. This increase is mainly due to the excellent situation currently experienced by our shopping centers throughout Argentina and to a 63.9% increase in the income generated by our subsidiary Tarjeta Shopping.

Gross profit for the period showed a major 47.9% increase, from Ps. 45.4 million in the first quarter of

 

105


fiscal year 2006 to Ps. 67.1 million in the same period for fiscal year 2007. Thus, consolidated operating income for the period amounted to income for Ps. 44.1 million compared to Ps. 28.7 million obtained in the same period of the previous year, which stands for a 53.5% increase.

EBITDA5 (consolidated net income plus interests, taxes, depreciations and amortizations) for the quarter totaled Ps. 60.2 million representing a 35.3% increase compared to the EBITDA for the same period of the previous year.

Our tenants’ sales have continued to grow, reaching Ps.199.3 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, 26.6% higher in nominal terms than those recorded in the same period of the previous year.

In addition, the business success of our tenants continues to increase demand for space at our shopping centers. In this way, we have reached an occupancy rate of 99.2%, even surpassing pre-crisis figures. The evolution of this variable not only shows an improvement in our business, but also the excellent quality of our shopping centers’ portfolio.

Tarjeta Shopping

Tarshop S.A. is a credit card company in which APSA holds a 80% interest.

The favorable context and successful performance of our credit card business unit caused Tarshop S.A. to record an income of Ps.7.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, a 92% increase compared to an income of Ps.3.7 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.

Net revenues posted a significant increase of 63.9%, from Ps.24.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 to Ps.40.2 million in the same period for fiscal year 2007. In addition, operating results increased 100.2% to Ps.10.7 million.

The credit portfolio including securitized coupons as of September 30, 2006 was Ps.439.1 million, 82.4% higher than the Ps.240.6 million portfolio recorded as of September 30, 2005.

In the area of collections, short-term delinquency at September 30, 2006 was as low as 3.9%.

III. Sales and Developments

In the three-month period ended September 30, 2006, the sales and developments segment recorded revenues of Ps.29.7 million, compared to Ps.0.5 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 are owned by the Company. Works are fully completed. As of September 30, 2006, 10 units are available, which we plan to sell in the next quarter.

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 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. As of September 30, 2006, in view of the market’s interest in this project, sales were launched in Tower 1, whose degree of progress was 57.14%, and bookings started to be accepted in October. In connection with Tower 2, the project plans were filed with the Municipality.

In addition, on July 17, 2006 we executed the deed of conveyance of title and delivery of possession of the third and last plot6 of our land reserves in Dique III, whereby Alvear Palace Hotel S.A. purchased two thirds of the undivided interests and Desarrollos Premium Plus S.A. purchased the remaining third. Under this transaction we received US$ 2.15 million on the date of execution of the preliminary sales contract, a down payment of US$ 1 million in January 2006, and the remaining balance of US$ 5.35 million upon the execution of the deed of conveyance of title.

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. As of September 30, 2006 the project was in its final stage. Sales in this project were launched in May this 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, 2006, preliminary sales agreements had been executed for 70% of the total units, and sales are estimated to be completed in the coming quarter.

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 within a term of 1,188 days. 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 part of the Province of Buenos Aires, above all 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, Provincia de Córdoba. As of September 30, 2006, we held 43.43% of the equity of Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. is a company located 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, and 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.

Below is a detail of property being developed by IRSA as of September 30, 2006.

IV. Hotels

Income from the hotel segment was Ps.28.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to Ps.24.9 million recorded in the same period of fiscal year 2006.

Higher income reflected mainly increases in rates, which were up 36.6% compared to the same period of the previous year. Average rates increased to Ps.470 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, compared to Ps.344 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

In view of the sustained boom 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.

In addition, interest payments of US$ 0.58 million and US$ 0.36 million, respectively, were made.

Exercise of warrants. On September 30, 2006, warrants issued by our company were exercised for a total of US$ 0.75 million par value, resulting in the issue of 1.37 million shares. Total proceeds from this transaction were US$ 0.9 million.

Amendment of certain terms and conditions of the indebtedness. On August 2, 2006, two agreements were executed for the purpose of amending certain terms and conditions in the Company’s indebtedness agreements, Secured Notes and Unsecured Loan. The amendments mentioned, that came into force as from July 17, 2006 and mainly provide the Company with higher operating and financial flexibility, come as a result of obvious improvements in the Company’s financial condition and the extraordinary recovery in the Argentine macroeconomic context.

Upgrading in the risk rating of our US$ 250 Million Global Note Program (with 30.8 million still outstanding). In August 2006, Fitch Argentina Calificadora de Riesgo S.A. rating company upgraded the rating of our US$ 250 Million Global Note Program from BB+ (Arg) to BBB (Arg). In this manner, IRSA has reached Investment Grade once again at the local level.

The upgrade is based on the positive evolution shown by the various businesses in which the Company is engaged and in the favorable prospects for the real estate sector in the medium term. This translates into an expected increase in IRSA’s cash flows, both in those generated directly by office rentals and the sales and development segment and in those received from its share in the robust business of shopping centers through its controlled company APSA. In addition, the upgrade in the rating is also based on the low level of indebtedness in relation to the assets held by the Company.

Acquisition of Palermo Invest S.A. stock from GSEM/AP Holdings L.P. On October 4, 2006, we acquired 26,083,596 common, registered, non-endorsable Class B shares of one peso par value each and entitled to one vote per share of Palermo Invest S.A. from GSEM/AP Holdings, L.P., for a total price of US$ 18.0 million. Upon execution of the agreement the sum of US$ 9.0 million was paid, and the balance will be paid in three equal, consecutive installments of US$ 3.0 million each, to fall due in October 2007, 2008 and 2009, accruing interest at 9% per annum, payable every three months.

Simultaneously, a share assignment agreement was entered into between IRSA (assignor) and Patagonian Investment S.A. (assignee), whereby the assignor sells, assigns and transfers to the assignee 1,565,016 common, registered, non-endorsable Class B shares of one peso par value each and entitled to one vote per share in Palermo Invest S.A. The contract price is US$ 1.08 million, and will be paid by Patagonian Investment S.A. within 90 days counted as from the agreement’s execution date.

After the referred transactions, IRSA is holder of 98% of Palermo Invest S.A. while Patagonian Investment S.A. owns the remaining 2%.

Nuevas Fronteras S.A. capital reduction. On August 25, 2006, the General Shareholders’ Meeting of our subsidiary Nuevas Fronteras S.A., owner of the Intercontinental hotel, resolved to reduce its cash stock capital by Ps.17.0 million, down from Ps.92.0 million to Ps.75.0 million.

Therefore, it was resolved to distribute and make available to the shareholders an amount of Ps.17.0 million, or its dollar equivalent at an exchange rate of Ps.3.10 per dollar, according to the respective interest percentages held by them.

Creation of Global Note Program. The General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, held on October 31, 2006, approved by majority vote the creation of a Global Program for the issuance of unsecured, unconvertible Notes for a principal amount of up to U$S 200 million or its equivalent in other currencies, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 23,576 (Negotiable Obligations Law) as amended and supplemented.

APSA – Acquisition of Córdoba Shopping. On July 7, 2006, our shopping center subsidiary APSA entered into an agreement with Grupo Roggio to start a process that, subject to a due diligence process, will conclude in the transfer to APSA of all the shares of Empalme S.A., owner of Shopping Villa Cabrera.

Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera is a shopping center that has a total area of 35,000 sq.m., with 160 shops, 12 cinemas and parking space for 1,500 vehicles, and is located in the Villa Cabrera neighborhood of the City of Córdoba.

If the transaction is consummated and the various conditions to which it is subject are satisfied and the consent of the Antitrust Agency is obtained, this investment will be an opportunity for APSA to grow in the shopping center segment, in line with its strategy of expanding and gaining foothold in the main markets of the Argentine provinces.

APSA – Distribution of dividends and creation of Global Note Program. The General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of our subsidiary APSA, held on October 31, 2006, approved by majority vote the distribution of a cash dividend in the amount of Ps.47.0 million and the allocation of Ps.2.2 million to the legal reserve. In addition, the meeting approved the creation of a Global Program for the issuance of unsecured, unconvertible Notes for a principal amount of up to U$S 200 million or its equivalent in other currencies, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 23,576 (Negotiable Obligations Law) as amended and supplemented.

APSA – Financial Debt. As of September 30, 2006, the financial debt of APSA, our shopping center subsidiary, is among the lowest levels in the last years. At present the composition of such indebtedness is as follows:

Description

   Outstanding
Amount
   Rate   Maturity

Syndicated Loan

   Ps. 25,000,000    Encuesta Rate + 3%   Apr-07

Convertible Notes

   USD 47,227,934    10%   Jul-14

During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, APSA made the last payment to Deutsche Bank relating to the debt restructuring of Mendoza Plaza Shopping. The outstanding balance at the beginning of the fiscal year of US$ 3.0 million was repaid on August 1, 2006.

As regards the Ps. 50 million-syndicated loan obtained in fiscal year 2005, Alto Palermo S.A. repaid the third principal installment on October 5, 2006, after the close of the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, for Ps. 12.5 million. The outstanding balance as of such date amounts to Ps. 12.5 million and this indebtedness accrues interest at the Encuesta rate + 3%.

As regards the Series I Convertible Notes for up to a face value of US$ 50 million, on May 2, 2006 during an extraordinary meeting of noteholders a resolution was adopted to extend the maturity date to July 19, 2014. The total outstanding amount is US$ 47,227,934 whereas the amount of shares in the Company amounts to 782,064,214 and its capital stock to 78,206,421.

VI. Brief comment on prospects for the next quarter

Economic activity in Argentina has continued to grow at high rates for four years in a row, without showing signs of deceleration. This growth is mainly driven by consumption and investment, especially in the construction industry. These variables have a very positive impact on our business; therefore, prospects for all our business segments for the coming quarters of fiscal year 2007 are more than promising.

As regards offices and other properties for rental, the current full occupancy levels and the constant appreciation of the square meter price for office rentals, currently ranging in 24 US$/sqm for class A buildings, encourages us to continue to increase our portfolio of premium buildings. In addition, this appreciation of the price per square meter has not yet been fully reflected in our Financial Statements as there has been no adjustment yet in the rates of the lease agreements for most of the properties in our portfolio of assets, with very good prospects for this business segment in 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 2006 recorded an increase of almost 20% 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 had 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 Cordoba among others. In the future we will continue developing these land reserves mainly through residential

and office developments, shopping centers, hotels and the large amount of new projects we have in mind, with the goal of adding value to our asset portfolio.

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 September 30, 2006, and the related statements of income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the supplementary notes 1 to 24 and exhibits A, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. Furthermore, we have reviewed the consolidated financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima with its subsidiaries for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, which are presented as supplementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. The financial statements of Tarshop S.A., IRSA indirect subsidiary, were reviewed by Abelovich, Polano & Asociados, who have issued their report with no observations. Consequently, this report, in so far as it refers to the amounts included for the above company, is based on the report issued by Abelovich, Polano & Asociados.

 

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. We consider that our review, and the report issued by Abelovich, Polano & Asociados (exclusively for PricewaterhouseCoopers) mentioned in point 1., provide a reasonable basis for our report.

 

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. The limited review report of the external auditors on the financial statements of Banco Hipotecario S.A. 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 10% of consolidated assets at September 30, 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 and on the report of Abelovich, Polano & Asociados mentioned in point 1., we report that:
