NOTE 1: BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION – CORPORATE CONTROL

a. Basis of consolidation

The Company has consolidated its balance sheets at March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005 and the statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 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.

Financial statements corresponding to the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 have not been audited. The Company’s management considers they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably show the consolidated results of each period.

Results for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Company’s consolidated results for the 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 at June 30, 2005 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 March 31, 2006 of the 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 financial statements at June, 2005 were reclassified for disclosure on a comparative basis with those for the period ended March 31, 2006.

NOTE 2: CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION

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

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

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

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited financial statements of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1, have been prepared on a consistent basis with those applied by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima. 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.

 

  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 escalation 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

  b. (Continued)

Generally, the Company’s lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months. Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six months, upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, subject to penalties which vary from one to one and a half months rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of its lease, and one month of rent if the tenant rescinds after the first year of its lease. 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.

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. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed, while financing 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.

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.

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 do 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 of 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 Shopping Alto Palermo 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 Statements of Income.

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 real estate property near Puerto Madero denominated “Planta 1” which had been acquired 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 legal proceeding has already practically reached the end of the time allowed to produce evidence. Puerto Retiro S.A. contested the complaint and appealed the provisional remedy, which was dismissed on December 14, 2000. The plea has been duly submitted and is awaiting sentence.

The management and the legal counsels of Puerto Retiro S.A. believe that the extension of the bankruptcy will be dismissed by the Court.

NOTE 16: (Continued)

Hoteles Argentinos S.A. mortgage loan

The Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Hoteles Argentinos S.A. (“HASA”, subsidiary of the company) held on January 5, 2001 approved taking a long-term mortgage loan from Bank Boston N.A. for a total amount of US$ 12,000 to be used to refinance existing debts. The term of the loan was agreed at 60 months payable in 19 equal and quarterly installments of US$ 300 and one final payment of US$ 6,300 in the due date. The agreement was signed on January 26, 2001.

Interest payments must be paid quarterly in arrears at an annual interest rate equivalent to LIBO for 12 months loans plus the applicable mark-up as per the contract, which consists of a variable interest rate applicable in the debt’s interest payment periods.

The guarantee was a senior mortgage on a property owned by Hoteles Argentinos S.A., which houses the Hotel Sheraton Libertador Buenos Aires. As a result of the economic situation of the country, the lack of credit and the crisis of the Argentine financial system, principal installments falling due as from January 26, 2002 and the interest installments 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. for US$ 7,925.

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” within “Other receivables”. If HASA duly complies with the obligations arising from this transaction, the Company will be able to receive a periodical funds flow.

NOTE 16: (Continued)

Subsequently, the debt restructuring and refinancing process started, and in the mentioned refinancing context, after period-end, 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 Amended and Restated Agreement in order to reduce the outstanding amount of the original loan capital to U$S 8,000 and postpone its maturity to March 15, 2010, by subscribing a Modified Loan Contract with CSI having the principal debt cancellation and interest payment terms that follow:

a) Principal cancellations:

 

-    Installment 1    04-21-2006    U$ S 2,000
-    Installment 2    03-15-2008    U$ S 213
-    Installment 3    09-15-2008    U$ S 225
-    Installment 4    03-15-2009    U$ S 239
-    Installment 5    09-15-2009    U$ S 253
-    Installment 6    03-15-2010    U$ S 5,070

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:

 

    Period 03-15-2006 to the effective day of the contract (04-21-2006), interest will be accrued on U$S 8,000 at an annual 12.07% rate. The Company will 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 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 LIBOR, 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 U$S 2,000 made on April 21, 2006, the mortgage was partially cancelled reducing the original amount to the total of U$S 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) indirect minority shareholder of HASA and CSI for 20% of the restructured debt value.

NOTE 16: (Continued)

In line with IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima’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 IRSA for advising, consulting, defending and negotiating the interests of HASA in respect of the debt restructuring. As payment for this professional service, HASA will pay IRSA a fee of U$S 1,377.

In its capacity as shareholder of HASA, Hoteles Sheraton de Argentina S.A.C. has agreed HASA to pay to IRSA a valuable consideration for its management of the debt restructuring process. To such end, Sheraton will loan HASA the amount of U$S 275 (the “Sheraton Loan”), and immediately after having received this loan, HASA will pay IRSA 20% of the fees for services rendered. The remaining 80% will not be immediately cancelled but it will be a loan of IRSA to HASA (the “IRSA Loan”).

The parties will define within 30 days from having subscribed the loan agreement to HASA, the terms and conditions of the IRSA and Sheraton loans, which will be equal as related to interest rates and payment terms. In order to agree the terms in which payments will be effective, the parties will take into account and will prioritize the renewal plan of the Sheraton Libertad Hotel, so that the cancellations of the IRSA and Sheraton Loans allow HASA to count with the funds to carry out such plan.

The Company has classified the debt as current and non-current liability in the general consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 considering the terms and conditions agreed in the debt restructuring occurred subsequent to closing and prior to the issuance of these financial statements.

In April 2006, the Company received U$S 800 for returning the guarantee of fulfillment of the contract.

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 on the basis of the financial statements issued by the trusts.

NOTE 18: SALE IN OWNERSHIP OF BANCO HIPOTECARIO S.A. AMONG SUBSIDIARIES

On August 9, 2005 Ritelco S.A. sold 335,893 shares of Banco Hipotecario S.A. to Buenos Aires Trade and Finance Center S.A. (at that moment 100% subsidiary of the Company) in the total amount of US$ 1,536 (equivalent to market value of US$ 4,57 per share). See Note 18 to the unaudited basic financial statements in connection with the sale of interest in Banco Hipotecario S.A. made by IRSA to Buenos Aires Trade & Finance Center S.A.

As such transactions were made among subsidiaries, in which IRSA holds 100% interest, they do not modify the shareholding and do not affect the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2006, total shareholding in Banco Hipotecario S.A. amounted to 17,641,015.

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 mandatorily 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.

NOTE 19: (Continued)

On August 19, 2005, a share purchase agreement was entered into by and between ITNV, Ritelco S.A. and Dolphin Fund PLC (another shareholder of ITNV) whereby ITNV acquired all the common shares held by those shareholders (4,106,000 and 1,675,000 shares, respectively) for US$ 0.1470333852 per share. The amount of this transaction is US$ 850, of which US$ 604 correspond to Ritelco S.A.

Considering that the above-mentioned transaction occurred subsequent to year-end, but before the issuance of the annual financial statements, Ritelco took up as of June 30, 2005 the investment in ITNV at its equity value up to the limit of its recoverable value. Consequently, Ritelco recorded an income of US$ 604 as of June 30, 2005.

NOTE 22: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Interest rate swaps

Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) has used certain financial instruments to reduce its financing costs. Major financing institutions have been the counterparties of such instruments. APSA has not used derivative instruments with speculative purposes. APSA managed the risk of possible counterparties’ inability to fulfill instrument clauses.

In order to minimize its financing costs, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert a portion of its peso-denominated fixed-rate debt to dollar-denominated floating rate debt.

During the period ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded profits amounting to Ps. 5.22 million related with this contract. This contract expired on 4 April, 2005.

Future contracts to purchase metals

During the present period, Ritelco S.A. entered into future contracts for the purchase of silver and gold and launched call options in Euros. In accordance with its risk management policies, Ritelco S.A. uses future metal contracts for speculative purposes.

As of March 31, 2006 the Company has 27 future contracts for the purchase of 5,000 ounces of silver due in May 2006 at an average market price of U$S 11.52. As collateral for these contracts, the Company has deposits amounting to U$S 91.1 (equivalent to Ps. 277.2).

The difference between the market value and the agreed amount of derived financial instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2006 amounts to U$S 3.2 (equivalent to Ps.9.8). As of March 31, 2006, the Company recorded a realized and non-realized profit for such transactions amounting to U$S 772.7 (equivalent to Ps.2.3) and U$S 34.4 (equivalent to Ps. 98.6), respectively.

NOTE 23:   ALTO PALERMO - ISSUANCE OF NEGOTIABLE OBLIGATIONS CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON SHARES

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 serie 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: July 19, 2006.(1)

 

    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.

(1) 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 financial statements. The Company is currently analyzing the impact of this operation.

At March 31, 2006, certain holders of Negotiable Obligations convertible into APSA common shares, have exercised their right to convert them for a total amount of US$ 2.72 million. As of March 31, 2006, the outstanding balance of APSA Convertible Negotiable Obligations amounted to US$ 47.28 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 March 31, 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.

NOTE 26: (Continued)

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.

A report of the legal advisors states that the balance remains unpaid and outlines that the Company has deposited with the court the debt titles determined in the unpaid balance, and an amount in cash of Ps. 7,191, whereas the unpaid balance approved in the court records was US$ 3,780.

In line with the matters reported by the lawyers in respect of this suit, the Company management recorded a reserve for an amount Ps. 4,519 as of March 31, 2006, which was determined according to the difference between the amount claimed for compensatory and punitive interest of US$ 3,800 and the amount deposited in the court of Ps. 7,191.

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 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 March 31, 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.). The Company is currently awaiting the resolution of the challenges submitted by means of request. In accordance with the probable contingency reported by the lawyers as of March 31, 2006, the Company management has reserved the amount of Ps. 1,942.

NOTE 29: DAMAGES IN ALTO AVELLANEDA

On March 5, 2006 there was a fire in the Alto Avellaneda Shopping produced by an electrical failure in one of the stores. Although there were neither injured persons nor casualties, there were serious property damages and the area as well as certain stores had to be closed for repairs. The total damaged area covered 36 stores and represented 15.7% of the total square meters built. Repair works are currently being carried out in order to re-open the area in two stages, one in June and the other one in August of the current year.

APSA has an all risk insurance coverage for this kind of damage.

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 Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A’s. property, which were capitalized as fixed assets in Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A’s., recognizing the related gain over the term of the contract. At period end, the amount of Ps. 238 was pending of accrual.

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.

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 March 31, 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 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 March 31, 2006 Shopping Neuquén S.A. is negotiating with the Municipality of Neuquén 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 incorporated in a new Municipal Ordinance that will either modify or annul the original one.

If the extension is not approved, the Municipality of Neuquén would be entitled to request that the real estate sold on a timely basis be returned and if such is the case Shopping Neuquén would not recover its original investment.

In turn, on August 15, 2003 APSA was acknowledged that 85.75% of the old shareholders of Shopping Neuquén S.A. filed a claim requesting the collection of the price balance plus interest and legal costs.

The Company management considers that the current undergoing negotiations will be favorable to the Company interest.

NOTE 33: ACQUISITION OF REAL STATE

On December 29, 2005, APSA subscribed a preliminary purchase contract for acquiring a building located in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The price agreed for this transaction amounts to US$ 17.9 million. At present, the amount of US$ 5.4 million has been paid as pre-payment and is shown in Fixed Assets. The remaining amount, that is US$ 12.5 million will be cancelled at the time of signing the deed for final transference, which will happen within 180 days (such term can be postponed) counted as from the date in which the preliminary contract will be signed.

For the nine-month periods beginning on July 1, 2005 and 2004

and ended March, 2006 and 2005

Amounts expressed in thousand

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 financial statements

These unaudited financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos and were prepared in accordance with disclosure and valuation criteria contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, approved with certain amendments by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, in accordance with the resolutions issued by the National Securities Commission.

The Unaudited Financial statements corresponding to the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 have not been audited. The Company’s management considers they include all necessary adjustments to reasonably show the results of each period.

Results for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Company’s results for the fiscal years.

Unification of professional accounting standars

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 March 31, 2006 that the adoption of the new criteria would have generated would be a decrease in shareholders’ equity of approximately Ps. 186,239 with an impact in retained earnings.

 

48


IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the new accounting standards would have in its subsidiary Banco Hipotecario S.A.

1.2. Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited 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 unaudited 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 unaudited 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 unaudited financial statements was discontinued.

This criterion is not in line with current professional accounting standards, which establish that the unaudited 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

Balance sheet items at June 30, 2005 shown in these unaudited financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.

The balances at March 31, 2006 of the Statements of Income, Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows are disclosed in comparative format with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

 

NOTE1: (Continued)

Certain amounts of the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 have been reclassified for the purpose of comparison with the figures of the current period.

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.

 

  f. Other receivables and payables

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

Sundry receivables and payables (asset tax, value added tax, deposits in guarantee, and accounts receivable in trust) disclosed under other current and other non-current receivables and payables, were valued based on the best estimate of the amount receivable and payable, respectively, discounted at the interest rate applicable to freely available savings accounts published by the Argentine Central Bank in effect at the time of incorporation to assets and liabilities, respectively.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

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 period ended March 31, 2006 and the fiscal year June 30, 2005 interest costs of the property called “San Martín de Tours” were capitalized for Ps. 222 and Ps. 418, respectively.

Profits arising from such valuation are shown in the “Gain from valuation of inventories at fair market value” caption of the 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 units relating to the buildings called “Edificios Cruceros” 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:

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 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 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 on indebtedness associated with long-term construction projects. However, as of March 31, 2006 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 no interest costs were capitalized, as the Company considered that there are no work 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 statement of income.

 

    Software obtained or developed for internal use

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 .

  j. (Continued)

 

    Other properties and equipment

Other properties and equipment properties are carried at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation at the end of the period. Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as specified below:

 

Asset

  

Estimated useful life (years)

Leasehold improvements

   On contract basis

Furniture and fixtures

   5

Machinery, equipment and computer equipment

   3

Vehicles

   5

The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of significant renewals and improvements are added to the carrying amount of the respective assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

 

  k. Deferred financing cost

Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of negotiable obligations and proceeds of loans are amortized over the life of the related issuances. In the case of redemption of these notes, the related expenses are amortized using the accelerated depreciation method.

Amortization has been recorded under “Financial results, net” in the 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).

 

55


IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.5. (Continued)

 

  m. (Continued)

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.

 

  n. Asset tax

The Company calculates asset tax by applying the current 1% rate on computable assets at the end of the period. 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 March 31, 2006, the Company has estimated the asset tax, recognizing under “Other receivables” (non-current) 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 assess its non-current assets for recoverability whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable value.

 

56


IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.5 (Continued)

 

  o. (Continued)

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, 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 nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 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.

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. 231 and Ps. 211 for the nine-months periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

  s. Pension information

The Company does not maintain any pension plans. Argentine laws provide for pension benefits to be paid to retired employees from government pension plans and/or privately managed funds plan to which employees may elect to contribute.

 

  t. Derivative financial instruments

  u. Revenue recognition

 

  u.1. Sales of properties

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

 

    the sale has been consummated;

 

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

 

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

 

    the Company has transferred the property to the buyer.

The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting with respect to sales of development properties under construction. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs according to budgeted costs. The Company does not commence revenue and cost recognition until such time as the decision to proceed with the project is made and construction activities have begun. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Company’s management to prepare budgeted costs in connection with sales of properties/units. All changes to estimated costs of completion are incorporated into revised estimates during the contract period.

 

  u.2. Leases

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

 

  v. Cash and cash equivalents

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

 

  w. Monetary assets and liabilities

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

 

  x. Vacation expenses

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

NOTE 13: (Continued)

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

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

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

Convertible negotiable obligations were underwritten in full and were paid in cash and the proceeds used to restructure or partially settle the Company´s financial debt at the time of such subscription.

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 City of Buenos Aires. 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, on September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005 and March 31,2006 due to non-compliance by the debtor of the credit, the Company made a payment to CSI of US$ 126 , US$ 129 and US$ 135, respectively.

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.

Business Overview

(as of March 31, 2006)

Comments on operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006

Calendar year 2006 started with high activity levels for the fourth consecutive year, projecting an annual growth rate close to 7.5%, reassuring that economic expansion will continue throughout the whole 2006. The main causes for GDP growth during the first quarter of 2006 were the increase in private consumption, that was favored by salary rises (which posted a cumulative increase of 3.5%) and higher employment rates. Employment increased 9%, even surpassing employment rates recorded prior to the recession suffered in Argentina since late 1998. As concerns inflation, the leading economic consultants, such as for example Estudio Broda, forecast that the inflation rate will be in the whereabouts of 12% to 13% at the close of 2006.

The public accounts closed the first quarter of calendar year 2006 with a strong fiscal surplus (Ps. 4,909 million) exceeding by 15.7% the revenues obtained in the same period of 2005. The trade balance for the first quarter of calendar year 2006 was positive at US$ 2,356 million, reflecting exports of US$ 9,730 million and imports of US$ 7,374 million. Although exports increased by 16% as compared to 2005, foreign trade income decreased by 4.16%.

The consumer confidence rate (CCR) increased 12.7% at national scale during the first quarter of calendar year 2006 as compared to the previous quarter. The rise in consumer prices was 2.9% during the quarter, and could have been higher if it had not been curbed by the pricing agreement reached with leading consumer product companies, shopping centers and supermarket chains. However, it seems unlikely to project a cumulative inflation rate lower than 12% at the end of calendar year 2006.

Underpinning its role as one of the main engines of the economy, during the first quarter of calendar year 2006 the construction index rose to 20.5% as compared to the previous quarter, considering unseasonalized variables. Backed by the upsurge in the development of residential building projects, land value in the City of Buenos Aires experienced a significant increase due to the shortage of this kind of properties. Moreover, the strong demand for lease properties in category A+ office buildings and existing shortage of supply have been triggering substantial rises in lease prices. Category A offices in the City of Buenos Aires have posted a 30% increase in lease prices during the last quarter. This rise was motivated by the recovery of industrial and business activity and the favorable cost-service ratio offered by the City of Buenos Aires as compared to other cities in Latin America. The increase in the number of mortgage loans disbursed in the last two years has also played a major role in the growth of the real estate industry.

The hotel segment, and five star hotels in particular, have been favored in the last three years by the favorable rate of exchange that followed the 2002 devaluation and the increase in the number of tourists with high purchasing power.

Shopping Center sales during March posted an unseasonalized increase of 0.4% as compared to February, according to data published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC). The trend continues to be promising, as according to the INDEC there was an unseasonalized increase in sales of 16.3% as of March 2006 compared to the same month of the previous year.

In this macroeconomic context, we experienced a significant increase of 44.4% in our operating income, which amounted to Ps.122.9 million as of March 31, 2006, compared to Ps.85.1 million as of March 31, 2005. Operating income over total revenues stood at 32.2% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, compared to 31.3% in the same period of the previous year.

Revenues increased by 40.2%, from Ps. 271.9 million as of March 31, 2005 to Ps. 381.3 million as of March 31, 2006, reflecting (i) an increase of Ps.83.9 million in the shopping center segment; (ii) an increase of Ps.4.4 million in sales and developments segment; (iii) an increase of Ps. 11.4 million in the hotel segment; (iv) an increase of Ps.7.9 million in offices and other lease properties segment; and (v) an increase of Ps.1.7 million in financial and other transactions.

However, net income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 was a profit of Ps.40.9 million compared to a profit of Ps.78.2 million recorded in the same period of fiscal year 2005. The decrease in net income is mainly explained by: (i) the financial losses resulting from lower income from financial transactions and the depreciation of the peso against the dollar and (ii) lower income from our related companies.

Financial results recorded a loss of Ps.42.7 million compared to a loss of Ps.3.3 million as of March 31, 2005. The difference is mainly explained by the lower results from financial transactions, which decreased from a profit of Ps.26.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 to a profit of Ps.9.8 million in the

 

97


nine months ended March 31, 2006. In addition, losses resulting from the effect of changes in the exchange rate were recorded, from a Ps.5.3 million income in the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 to a Ps.17.8 million loss in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, mainly resulting from our exposure to dollar-denominated liabilities.

Finally, results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 reflect to a lower extent the income from our subsidiaries, which amounted to Ps.37.2 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, compared to Ps.58.7 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005. This reduction is mainly explained by the lower income posted by our investment in Banco Hipotecario S.A., measured according to the proportional equity value, which stood at Ps.38.0 million as of March 31, 2006 compared to Ps. 49.4 million recorded as of March 31, 2005.

Third quarter of fiscal year 2006 highlights, including significant operations occurred after the end of the period.

I. Offices and other Rental Properties

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, income from rental properties totalized Ps.21.5 million, an increase of Ps. 7.9 million as compared to Ps.13.6 million in the same period of fiscal year 2005.

Occupancy rate of our office buildings continued to experience a material recovery, reaching 92% during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006 as compared to 85% in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

II. Shopping Centers - Alto Palermo S.A (“APSA”).

The following information relates to data extracted from the financial statement of our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), the company that operates our shopping centers, in which we had a 61.62% interest as of March 31, 2006.

APSA’s net income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006 was Ps.32.5 million, Ps. 11.3 million higher than the Ps.21.2 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. This increase mainly reflects the increase in operating income, which rose 65.0% from Ps. 64.1 million as of March 31, 2005 to Ps. 105.7 million as of March 31, 2006.

Total revenues as of March 31, 2006 were Ps.268.5 million, 66.1% higher than for the same period of the previous year. This increase mainly reflects the excellent sales moment of our shopping centers and the 106.5% increase in revenues from our subsidiary Tarshop S.A. Revenues were also favorably impacted by the contribution from Mendoza Plaza Shopping where we increased our stake as from September 2004, the Rosario Shopping, opened in November 2004, and the sale of the “Alcorta Plaza” site in December 2005.

Gross profit for the period increased by 66.2% from Ps. 98.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 to Ps. 164.4 million in the same period of fiscal year 2006.

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, APSA continued to consolidate the efforts made since the Argentine crisis, obtaining significant results compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. The increase in APSA’s operating income is particularly noteworthy, as it reflects the success of its genuine business hand in hand with the growth in sales and consumption.

Our tenants’ sales have continued to grow at record levels, reaching Ps.1,654 million in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, 32.2% higher than those recorded in the same period of the previous year.

The business success of our tenants continues to increase demand for space at our shopping centers. In this way, we had an occupancy rate of 99.1%, among the highest occupancy levels in our history. 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 our subsidiary APSA holds an 80% interest.

The favorable context and successful performance of our credit card business unit caused it to record an a neigh of Ps.10.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, a 186.7% increase compared to an income of Ps.3.8 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.

Net revenues posted a significant increase of 106.5%, from Ps.43.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 to Ps.90.0 million during the same period of fiscal year 2006. In addition, operating results increased 177.1% to Ps.20.7 million.

The credit portfolio including securitized coupons as of March 31, 2006 was Ps.334.7 million, 86.9% higher than the Ps.169.2 million portfolio recorded as of March 31, 2005.

In the area of collections, short-term delinquency at March 31, 2006 was as low as 3.8%.

III. Sales and Developments

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006, the sales and developments segment recorded revenues of Ps.32.8 million, compared to Ps.28.3 million in the same period of the previous year.

Caballito Project. On May 4, 2006 we entered into a barter agreement with KOAD S.A. in connection with block 36 of the lands we own in the area of Caballito for a total price of US$ 7.5 million. KOAD S.A. will build a residential development consisting of two residential tower buildings of 34 floors each. The units will be one, two and three-room apartments with a floor area of 40 to 85 square meters each. The development will have an estimated total saleable area of 28,000 square meters, out of which we will receive within a term of 39 months, 26.7% of the total floor area and 25% of the parking units of the whole project. In the aggregate we will receive 118 apartments and 55 parking units that will be located in Tower 1. Bonuses have been agreed in the event KOAD S.A. is able to deliver the units before the scheduled date.

Cruceros, Dique 2. In line with the forecasts made in connection with this project, during this quarter we successfully continued sales of the units owned by the Company in Edificios Cruceros.

Torres Renoir. As of March 31, 2006, degree of progress of the works was 23%. The slab has already reached floor 16, i.e. 54 meters of height. The rise in square meter prices in the area of Puerto Madero anticipates the business success of this project.

 

100


The following chart shows the development of the average price per square meter, in the area of Puerto Madero, where our Company is developing the Torres Renoir and Edificios Cruceros’ projects, and where it has the largest land reserve existing in the area. This reserve will be used to build the Santa María del Plata development. The chart illustrates how prices recovered since the downfall experienced during the Argentine crisis of 2001 and even surpassed pre-crisis figures.

El Encuentro, Benavídez. As of March 31, 2006, the prices of lots in the Northern area of the Province of Buenos Aires continued to rise, especially in the nearby areas of the project. These data cause us to have highly promising expectations regarding the sale of the plots receivable under the barter.

Laguna Azul. As of March 31, 2006, the first guidelines for developing the project started to be outlined. The Chilean architecture firm URBE was hired, and 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.

IV. Hotels

Income from the hotel segment posted a significant increase during the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, reaching Ps.79.7 million as compared to Ps.68.3 million recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

This result reflected the increase in average prices. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, rates experienced a substantial increase, with an average price per room of Ps.379 in this period as compared to Ps.325 in the previous period. The occupancy rate remained stable at 79%, equal to the figure recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

The remarkable upsurge in the hotel business in Argentina has led us to increase our investments in this segment. We started works for construction of 42 suites in the Llao Llao Hotel aimed at expanding its current capacity. In addition, in view of the increased number of guests that the hotel will accommodate when construction tasks are completed, we have made works for increasing the hotel’s service infrastructure.

VI. Brief comment on prospects for the next quarter

GDP growth continued to consolidate in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, shored up the strong fiscal surplus and increase in private consumption, which was favored by the higher employment rates and salary rises in real terms. The continued robust growth of the economic indicators along with the satisfactory results attained in our business performance encourage us to continue our policy of developing new investment projects in search of new business opportunities.

We expect to continue expanding business in the office segment, taking advantage of the recovery in demand and prices.

In addition, in view of the consumption boom and the success achieved in the positioning of our Shopping Centers, we plan to keep on offering a broad variety of commercial proposals aiming at satisfying our clients’ needs. We intend to offer more activities, promotions and entertainment options, seeking customer recognition and identification with our proposals, in line with our strategy for the past fiscal years. Moreover, we continue to analyze the investment opportunities that arise in the shopping center industry with a view to increasing or property portfolio.

The upsurge in the hotel industry, which experienced a significant growth during the last three years, along with the spectacular potential for tourism in Argentina causes us to have very promising expectations in this business segment.

During the next quarter we intend to make further progress in our various developments with the aim of completing works as scheduled. Finally, we will continue to evaluate the execution of different projects for developing our land reserves, as well as the purchase of new development lands at attractive prices to add value to our portfolio.

Limited Review Report

To the Shareholders, President and Board of Directors of

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

 

1. We have reviewed the balance sheet of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima at March 31, 2006, and the related statements of income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the complementary notes 1 to 21 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 nine-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, which are presented as supplementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

2. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by Technical Resolution No. 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial statements. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

3. IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries have a significant investment in Banco Hipotecario S.A. (“BHSA”). This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting at the end of the period. The limited review report on the financial statements of BHSA as of March 31, 2006, dated May 5, 2006, mentions that the financial statements of BHSA should be read taking into consideration the level of credit exposure of BHSA to the Public Sector. As of March 31, 2006, the investment in BHSA accounts for approximately 14% and 10% of the total assets and total consolidated assets, respectively, of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima. The auditors’ report on the financial statements of BHSA as of June 30, 2005, dated September 1, 2005, included an explanatory paragraph describing certain uncertainties primarily in connection with the effect of the matters that were still pending resolution by the Government regarding the settlement of the receivables recognized as a result of the asymmetric pesification and indexation. These uncertainties have been resolved at the date of this report.

 

4. As indicated in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements, Alto Palermo S.A. (subsidiary of the Company at 61.62%) recorded a claim receivable against insurance companies amounting to $ 7.4 million, corresponding to the recovery of the loss incurred in the fire at one of its shopping malls. The final amount of the recovery is subject to the final settlement to be made by the insurance companies, which at the date of these financial statements has not yet been completed. After March 31, 2006, Alto Palermo S.A. collected an advance amounting to $ 2.1 million in connection with that claim.
