2. LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,
 
During this fiscal year we have made great achievements and addressed several challenges as well.  Our rental businesses, which account for near 60% of our assets, experienced very good results, led by shopping centers and offices which continued to grow at levels comparable to those of the last two years. Commercial and residential real estate values kept their rising trend, showing that real estate continues to be a great option for safeguarding value and the preferred choice for investment, as reflected by the highly attractive prices obtained from our sales of certain assets in our portfolio.
 
Our revenues totaled Ps. 1,567.3 million, representing a 8.7% annual increase, mainly explained by our shopping center and office segment while EBITDA reached Ps. 911.3 million (20.6% higher than in the previous fiscal year). Net income for the period 2012 was Ps. 280.1 million.
 
At country level, 2012 continued to exhibit satisfactory economic indicators, as activity levels reached a growth rate higher than 7%, driven again by consumption and higher purchasing power. These conditions favored retail sales in general and shopping center sales in particular.
 
Our tenants’ sales in shopping centers totaled Ps. 9,966.4 million, representing a 28% increase; we improved our portfolio’s occupancy, which stood at 98.4%, and revenues from this segment reached Ps. 871.7 million (29.2% higher than in the previous fiscal year). EBITDA from this segment reached Ps. 688.4 million, whereas the EBITDA/revenue margin was 79%.
 
During this year we added to our portfolio La Ribera shopping center, through the acquisition of a 50% interest in Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe, owner of this shopping center which features approximately 8,000 square meters of gross leaseable area and 50 stores and is located in Dock I of the City of Santa Fe’s harbor. In this way, APSA started to operate its thirteenth shopping center, as part of its expansion strategy to the provinces in the interior of Argentina.
 
Moreover, in December 2011 we started the works for rearranging the retail store mix in our Soleil shopping center located in Greater Buenos Aires, purchased by the Company in July 2010 with the aim of positioning it as the first Premium Outlet in Argentina. The current degree of progress of the works is 80%. This has been one of the cases in which our management has shown its vast experience and operating capacity, as may be seen by the significant improvement in results achieved after two years of operations.
 
Also in December 2011 we started to develop our “Arcos” project located in the neighborhood of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires. This project, which will follow a urban space model, aspires to be a distinct proposal, offering a variety of premium brands in an open-air environment. This new shopping center is expected to open in the spring of 2013, and it will add approximately 13,000 square meters of gross leaseable area and 70 stores to APSA’s portfolio, featuring its fourteenth shopping center. We hope that this new proposal, which also introduces a cultural space in the retail concept, will achieve the success of our latest developments, such as Dot Baires Shopping, which already ranks # 3 in our portfolio in terms of sales and aspires to position itself even better as it progresses in its maturing process.
 
On the other hand, we continue working on the first stage of development of a new shopping center in the City of Neuquén. We hope to have suitable business, financial and governmental conditions for speeding up progress in this development during the next fiscal year.
 
The Shopping Center segment is our main business and where we expect to continue expanding our current portfolio. We have reserves for future developments in the City of Paraná, the City of Tucumán and the neighborhood of Caballito, City of Buenos Aires. In addition, in various of our shopping centers we have the chance to increase their footage. We are studying the best timing for launching these and other new projects, as our management team’s vision is focused on the growth and development of this industry.
 
In addition, as part of this strategy we increased our equity interest in APSA from 94.9% to 95.6%.
 
Our Premium Office portfolio had a very good performance in 2012, showing rising occupancy levels and rental prices that recorded a slight increase in US$ per sqm. Having attained 100% occupancy in the Dot Building in the first quarter of this fiscal year, occupancy rates continued to rise during the rest of the year, reaching 98% at year-end, 7 points higher than at the closing of 2011. Therefore, during fiscal year 2012, this segment posted revenues for Ps. 192.3 million (16.8% higher than in the past year), an EBITDA of Ps. 130.0 million and an EBITDA margin of 68%.
 
The Hotel market in the City of Buenos Aires has shown sustained growth during fiscal year 2012. Supply has risen, reflecting higher competition but also a growing trend of investments and confidence in the industry’s sustainability. The year closed with favorable revenue indicators in our Sheraton and Intercontinental hotels.
 
Our hotel Llao Llao, in the City of Bariloche, posed the greatest challenge to us during this year. Bariloche was paralyzed after the eruption of the Puyehue volcano in June 2011, as the city was declared in state of emergency and tourism activity fell dramatically. Throughout that year, the hotel’s occupancy rate fell to 21.5% and rates were also revised downwards so as to attract tourists in spite of the weather problems caused by the volcano. In January 2012, airport operations in the City of Bariloche were resumed and occupancy rates in our hotel started to improve.
 
The Argentine real estate sector continues to show the strength that has characterized it during the last years, mainly because the industry has garnered investments from both individuals and corporations, who consider real estate to be a good value reserve in light of the financial markets’ volatility. In the past months, the Argentine Government has heightened restrictions on capital transfers abroad from Argentina and imposed limitations on the purchase of foreign currency notes. These measures have taken their toll on the real estate market, in which transactions have historically been made in dollars.
 
 
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Annual Report
 
We believe that there is still potential for a higher growth in real estate values in the long term, as in Argentina the vast majority of properties are free from indebtedness. This is reflected by the Argentine macroeconomic figures: the stock of mortgages accounts for less than 2% of the Argentine GDP. Besides, there is a nationwide deficit of more than 4 million houses. For this reason, if the mortgage market regains momentum, we expect a higher demand that will lead to increased industry activity.
 
Our Development and sale of properties segment has reported an EBITDA of Ps. 91.3 million. During this fiscal year we focused on both residential development activities and the sale of offices, stores and plots of land that are not strategic for the Company’s portfolio. As concerns our “Horizons” project, preliminary sales agreements have been executed for 100% of the units subject to sale. Construction of the towers in both blocks has been completed and the deeds of conveyance of their units are being executed, and we expect to finish delivering the last units during the next fiscal year. On the other hand, we have increased the sales of units in our “Caballito Nuevo” project, 89% of which has been sold, and in the “El Encuentro” suburban development, 96% of which has been sold.
 
As part of the process of rebalance of our portfolio started some years ago, we have continued to sell certain non-strategic assets of the Company, such as the Yacht V & VI building in the “Puerto del Centro” complex, located in Dock IV, Puerto Madero. The transaction price was Ps. 69.0 million, representing a value of US$ 3,250 per sqm. The book value of the property was Ps. 18.1 million. In this way, the Company leverages on the market value of its assets and real estate in general, which continues to be the main source of saving and value reserve in Argentina.
 
We have also sold several functional units in the “Palacio Alcorta” commercial property located in Av. Figueroa Alcorta for US$ 5.2 million. This price represented a value of US$ 6,800 per sqm, evincing the square meter value of retail properties in Buenos Aires.
 
Another major transaction closed in fiscal year 2012 was the transfer and sale of 50% of the stock capital of Quality Invest S.A. to our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. Quality Invest S.A. had purchased Nobleza Picardo’s industrial plant located in the District of San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires, in March 2011 and has recently obtained the consent of the Municipality of San Martin to broaden the range of intended uses of the site, adding as designated uses the commercial use.  Based on these considerations, we decided to sell this property to APSA in order for it to develop a shopping center in the future.
 
As concerns the sale of land reserves, we have sold a 7.9 hectare plot located in the District of San Justo, for a price of US$ 4.7 million. The land reserve had a book value of approximately US$ 0.91 million as of June 30, 2011.
 
All these are examples of the significant value of real estate and our asset portfolio in Argentina. It should be noted that part of our portfolio includes different land reserves in the City of Buenos Aires and other cities in Argentina which, although not directly reflected in our balance sheet, benefit from the upsurge in real property prices experienced in the Argentine market.
 
As regards our ownership interest in Banco Hipotecario, it has favorably impacted on our results, contributing Ps. 105.0 million in income during the fiscal year, an increase of 37% compared to the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the improvement in the bank’s financial margin. Banco Hipotecario ranks in a leading position in terms of solvency and liquidity levels; in turn, it has continued to grow in the segment of non-mortgage financial products and services and maintains a diversified, partially secured loan portfolio with a low degree of leverage. In addition, it has made progress in its policy of diversifying its funding sources, with a rise in the number of deposits used for funding, and has gained access to new forms of financing in the local capital market. We are confident of the bank’s future performance and potential synergy for financing the Company’s projects.
 
As concerns our investments outside Argentina, during this year our buildings in New York exhibited improved operating indicators, reflecting our management’s expertise in managing real estate assets. The Madison building, in which IRSA held a 49% interest as of June 30, currently features a 93% occupancy compared to 69% when we took over possession of the property. Rental prices also rose from US$ 40 to 45/sqm.  Besides, the Lipstick Building reached 86% occupancy as of the closing of 2012, generating an average monthly rent higher than US$ 63.0 per square meter.
 
We retained our interest in Hersha Hospitality Trust, a REIT listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which has proved to be a great investment in light of its current stock price. During this fiscal year, our 9.13% interest in Hersha has generated a gain of Ps. 13.7 million.
 
In line with our strategy, during this year we executed an agreement with Supertel Hospitality Inc. whereby we acquired 3,000,000 convertible preferred shares in which IRSA invested an aggregate amount of approximately US$ 20 million. Supertel is a Real Estate Investment Trust listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SPPR”, which started operations at the end of 1970 and went public in 1994. The company is focused on middle-class and long-stay hotels in 23 states in the United States of America, which are operated by various operators and franchises such as Comfort Inn, Days Inn, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn, Sleep Inn and Super 8, among others.
 
During this fiscal year we consummated the largest issue of bonds in the local capital market in the last years, reaching an amount of Ps. 300 million, thanks to the market’s excellent demand. We had a much favorable participation of retail and private banking investors, which enabled us to restructure short-term debt maturities at highly convenient rates. We also paid cash dividends to our shareholders in two opportunities for a total amount of Ps. 310.6 million.
 
Contributing to the resolution of problems related to education, health and environment is one of our company’s long term concerns and an aspect that is taken into account and included upon devising our business strategy. Aside from our daily relationship with all the communities, we carry out various specific actions in both IRSA’s buildings and our shopping centers aimed at arousing awareness on several matters. The actions carried out during this period include Road Safety, Give Away + Help, Waste Separation, Toner Cartridge Recycling, Sustainable Design Fair, Butterfly Garden and WEEE Recycling programs, among many others.
 
So as to promote the development of actions aimed at addressing these issues, it is vital for the Company to assume an active role. To this end, it will be necessary to work as a team, through the joint endeavors of our Shareholders, Creditors, Directors, Customers, Tenants, Suppliers, Employees and the Community at large, who also happen to play the leading roles in the development of our organization. It is to all of them that I wish to extend my gratefulness for their unwavering support and commitment to the organization’s goals.

3. Macroeconomic Context

International Outlook

During 2011, the global economy continued its recovery after the 2008 financial crisis. According to International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) data, in the year 2011, the world’s Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) rose 3.9% and accumulated an annualized growth of 3.6% in the first quarter of 2012. GDP in the developed countries increased by 1.6% in 2011, whereas in the developing countries’ markets, it soared 6.2%.

During fiscal year 2012, the financial markets’ outlook was gloomy. At global level, the MSCI All Countries index dwindled by 8.68% when measured in US Dollars; the MSCI World (representative of developed markets) dropped 7.99% whilst the MSCI Emerging Markets fell 17.87%. Except for the S&P500, which rose 4.04%, the performance of most of the markets was negative: the FTSE 100 fell by 5.13%, the Nikkei by 7.81%, the Bovespa by 11.96% and the Merval by 28.85%.

According to the IMF, inflation at global level was 4.5% in 2011, 1 percentage point higher than in 2010. In line with the growth rate observed, inflation in the emerging markets was 7.1%, higher than the one recorded in developed countries, which stood at 2.7%.

During 2011 and the first six months of 2012, the commodities markets were uneven. On the one hand, the GSCI All Metals Industrial index shows that metal prices fell 20.56% in 2011 and 7.24% in the first six months of 2012. The price of energy, as measured by the GSCI Energy index, increased by 11.4% in 2011 and shrunk by 5.54% in 2012. Finally, the GSCI Agriculture saw a decline in the prices of agricultural commodities, which dropped 14.12% in 2011, a trend that was substantially reverted in 2012 as they increased 22.27%.

According to the IMF, the improvement in the USA’s activity levels during the second half of 2011 and the adoption of adequate policies in the eurozone in response to the deepening of the economic crisis reduced the threat of a sharp global deceleration. However, the IMF estimates that world growth will contract from 3.9% in 2011 to 3.5% in 2012 but will then recover until reaching a growth rate of 4% in 2013. It is estimated that due to the problems in Europe, activity levels will continue to be in the doldrums for developed economies as a group, where expansion will reach only 1.5% in 2012 and 2% in 2013.

On the side of the emerging economies, the real GDP growth rate is expected to decelerate from 6.2% in 2011 to 5.75% in 2012, and then rebound until reaching 6% in 2013 (thanks to the implementation of more lenient macroeconomic policies and the strengthening of external demand).

The IMF considers that the most immediate concern continues to be the chance that the deepening of the crisis in the eurozone could lead to a massive run to lower-risk assets. Other latent risks are presumed to be the disturbances in the world bond and currency markets due to the budgetary deficits in Japan and the United States and the plunging of certain emerging economies.

One of the most noteworthy policy responses adopted during the last fiscal year was the recent decision to combine the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) with the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), a positive fact that will strengthen the European mechanism for controlling the crisis. In the United States and Japan, the fiscal tightening policy to be implemented in the short term appears to be enough; yet, it is still necessary to set targets that help achieve sound and sustained fiscal consolidation in the medium and long term.

Looking ahead, the main challenges for developed countries are focused on making further progress in consolidating fiscal accounts (including a sweeping reform in social security systems) and making structural reforms to stimulate potential output.

As concerns the emerging or developing economies, the main challenges are adequately calibrating economic policies to withstand the significant deceleration risks coming from developed economies. Another priority is to prevent economic overheating due to the strong credit growth, volatile cash flows, still high levels of raw material prices and the reemergence of energy price risks that impact on inflation and fiscal balances.

Annual Report

The Argentine Economy

As concerns the Argentine economy, during 2011 the GDP maintained the high growth rate experienced in 2010 (when it increased 9.2%). According to the Ministry of Economy, while in the third quarter of 2011 it recorded a year-on-year growth of 9.3%, during the fourth quarter a slight deceleration was observed, translated into a 7.3% growth rate. In this way, in 2011 GDP grew by 8.9%. In the year to date, a deceleration in economic activity levels is noted, although the same positive trend is maintained. For the first 5 months of 2012, the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator (EMAE), usually used to predict the GDP, recorded a year-to-date increase of 3% compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, showing a downward trend.

Once again, the main component of aggregate demand that largely explains the growth in activity levels has been private consumption, along with the increase in purchasing power. In this regard, private consumption recorded an annual growth of 10.7% in real terms, accounting for 66.1% of the GDP.

On the side of supply, during the second half of 2011 there was an annual deceleration in the goods-producing industries, whose main sectors, industry and construction, were the ones most severely affected. In turn, agricultural production fell for the third consecutive quarter.

In connection with the labor market, in 2011 the unemployment rate declined slightly to 6.7% of the active population, compared to 7% in 2010. On the salary side, the average salary in the Argentine economy accumulated a 29.45% raise in 2011, way above the official figures for retail inflation and even private sector inflation estimates. According to the INDEC’s salary index, the accumulated increase in the first half of 2012 was 11.53%.

In 2011, Argentina’s fiscal situation deteriorated slightly as compared to 2010. Although the primary balance was still a Ps. 4,920.6 million surplus (0.3% of GDP), this figure was far below the Ps. 25,115 million recorded in 2010. On the other hand, fiscal deficit reached Ps. 30,663.9 million (-1.7% of GDP).

Argentina’s external sector showed a surplus trade balance during 2011, with exports for US$ 83.9 billion and imports for US$ 73.9 billion according to official data. The negative balances for the third and fourth quarters curbed the current account surplus for 2011 to almost nil, ending with a positive balance of only US$ 17 million.

During fiscal year 2011, Argentina’s country risk as measured by its five-year Credit Default Swap (“CDS”) for senior US$ -denominated indebtedness increased significantly, maintaining a spread that is high when compared to the most solid countries in the region, Brazil and Chile. The surcharge Argentina pays for its debt stood at 1,238 points as of July 2012, compared to Brazil’s 150 points and Mexico’s 141 points. The difference between the CDS in Argentina and Brazil or Mexico is high compared to historical values.

In the local financial markets, the interest rate showed a slight increase from 9.43% as of July 2011 to levels close to 11.87% for June 2012. In turn, the Private Badlar rate in pesos increased from 11.37% to 13.25%.

As in the past years, the BCRA continued its controlled flotation policy. The foreign exchange rate depreciated by 10% in the period June 2011 through June 2012 and the level of reserves was maintained at US$ 46.3 billion (a reduction of US$ 5,769 million compared to the previous year).

Mention should be made of the current status of Argentina’s gross sovereign debt: according to data from the Ministry of Economy, as of December 31, 2011 it amounted to US$ 178,963 million (41.8% of Argentina’s GDP). During 2011, sovereign debt as a percentage of GDP decreased by 3.5 percentage points as compared to 2010. This reduction was basically led by the dynamics with the private sector, which recorded a fall of US$ 5,524 million in its stock of debt for 2011 as compared to 2010. In this way, the stock of debt held by the private sector stood at 13.5% of the GDP, representing a fall of 4 percentage points as compared to 2010.

 
                                 Source: Argentine Ministry of Economy

As of December 31, 2011, the composition of Argentina’s sovereign debt was as follows: 53.8% was held by governmental agencies, 13.9% by multilateral and bilateral credit agencies, while the remaining 32.3% corresponded to private-sector portfolio financing (mainly government securities).

During 2011, the multilateral real exchange rate was also affected by the difference between the depreciation of the Peso compared to the basket of currencies that make it up and the inflation sustained by the Argentine economy. There was a 0.7% appreciation, deflated by INDEC’s CPI; yet, the figures released by private sources point to an even higher real appreciation. The Peso/U.S. Dollar real exchange rate experienced a 1.4% depreciation, whereas the Peso appreciated 3.75% vis-à-vis the Brazilian currency.

According to official data, Gross Domestic Fixed Investment (“GDFI”), measured in real terms, was in the region of 24.45% of GDP for 2011 with the following distribution: 10.51% for the durable goods sector and 12.33% for the construction sector.

The use of industrial installed capacity was 73.1% in May 2012, 5% lower than the level posted in the same month of 2011. In general, the sectors that experienced the worst performance were the automobile manufacturers (with a 17% fall) and the mechanic steel industry (which recorded a 12% decrease in the use of installed capacity).

Our Segments
 
The Shopping Centers sector exhibited major sales growth in the first four months of 2012. Shopping Centers’ turnover benefited greatly from the expansion that is being perceived in consumption. Based on the information released by INDEC, sales recorded a cumulative increase of 27% for the 12 months to April 2012 compared to the same period of 2011, boosted by the good mood amongst consumers and the tangible improvements in household nominal income.

Most of the retail offering sectors exhibited outstanding dynamism in that period. The principal increases were in “Food Courts and Food”, “Apparel” and in “Entertainment and Leisure”, with increases in excess of 30%.

Economic indicators pointed to favorable performance in fiscal year 2011, which ensured good sales figures in Shopping Centers. According to official figures, the GDP’s growth was 8.9% in 2011 and it has risen 3% for the first 5 months of 2012 (according to EMAE). Private consumption recorded a cumulative growth of 8.96% from June 2011 to March 2012, whereas public consumption increased 10.23%.

Although forecasts for 2012 are not as favorable as in the past, economic activity levels will continue to grow, which augurs well for the Company’s business in so far as consumption and inflation accompanied by salary raises are the main propellers of sales in the Company’s Shopping Centers.

As concerns the office market, Cushman & Wakefield’s latest market report shows that by the end of March the general vacancy rate of class A buildings in Buenos Aires was 8% (one percentage point below last year’s figures) while rental prices per square meter per month reached US$ 30.
 

The report shows that as the current vacancy levels are low, prices would remain stable and could even rise a little as a result of the inflationary scenario, although this trend could be counterbalanced if the exchange rate varies significantly. On the other hand, absorption remains stable, and it is expected that more square meters will be delivered than in the previous year (a new inventory of 60 thousand square meters is estimated), which could result in a larger number of transactions.
 
 
New Inventory vs Absorption
 
 
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Annual Report
 
The prices of class A assets remained stable during the last quarters. However, according to Cushman & Wakefield the gap between minimum and maximum values has broadened.
 
Rents vs Vacancy

According to Cushman & Wakefield’s estimations, vacant space has increased due to the shift away from important submarkets, such as 9 de Julio, and the new inventory entering the market. In this way, rental prices would remain unchanged as compared to the last quarters.
 
 

The construction industry showed great dynamism during the second half of 2011, although the outlook turned less promising for the first half of 2012, mainly due to the more restrictive exchange rate controls implemented by the end of 2011. According to INDEC’s Summary Construction Activities Indicator (ISAC, as per the initials in Spanish), the construction industry grew by 8.7% in 2011, whereas it posted a cumulative increase of only 0.6% for the first half of 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011.

According to ISAC, the surface area covered by the permits granted for private construction works decreased 4.2% in June 2012 compared to the previous month. Moreover, as compared to the same month of the previous year, this figure declined by 14.1%. However, in the aggregate, the cumulative value for the first half of 2012 records a fall of 0.1% as compared to the same period of 2011.

In connection with the Hotel sector, the Argentine Ministry of Tourism reported that 5,693,738 tourists visited Argentina in 2011, an increase of 6.9% as compared to 2010. During 2012, there has been an upsurge of domestic tourists, which had grown 7.7% as of June 2012 compared to the previous year.
 
According to official data, Argentina is the country with the largest influx of travelers from South America. The Brazilian market has contracted slightly if we compare the first half of 2011 vs. the first half of 2012, although Brazil is still leading the ranking of tourists arriving in Argentina. It is followed by the countries of the Rest of America, the United States and Canada and to a lesser extent, Europe.

·  
the acquisition, development and operation of shopping centers, including consumer finance activities,
·  
the development and sale of residential properties,
·  
the acquisition and development of office and other non-shopping center properties primarily for rental purposes,
·  
the acquisition and operation of luxury hotels,

the acquisition of undeveloped land reserves for future development or sale, and
·  
selected real estate investments outside Argentina.
 
We are the only Argentine real estate company whose shares are listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and whose GDSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
 
As of June 30, 2011 and 2012, we had total assets of Ps. 6,315.3 million and Ps. 6,612.2 million, respectively and shareholders’ equity of Ps. 2,481.8 million and Ps. 2,337.8 million, respectively. Our net income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2011, and 2012 was Ps. 334.5 million, Ps. 282.1 million and Ps. 282.9 million, respectively.
 
Shopping centers
 
We are engaged in purchasing, developing and managing shopping centers through our subsidiary, Alto Palermo S.A. (“APSA”) (“Alto Palermo”). Alto Palermo operates and owns majority interests in thirteen shopping centers in Argentina, eight of which are located in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, and the other five are located in the Provinces of Mendoza, Santa Fe, Córdoba and Salta. APSA has recently started to operate, through a concession, its 13th Shopping Center in the Province of Santa Fe. Our Shopping center segment had assets of Ps. 2,234.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and Ps. 2,286.5 million as of June 30, 2012, representing 35.4% and 34.6%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of Ps. 385.1 million and Ps. 549.9 million during our 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively, representing 65.8% and 74.9%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.
 
 
Consumer Finance
 
We have developed a consumer finance business through our subsidiaries Tarshop S.A. (“Tarshop”) and APSA Media. As of fiscal year-end, we had sold 80% of our interest in Tarshop to Banco Hipotecario and we had a majority equity interest in APSA Media. Tarshop and APSA Media’s operations consist primarily of lending and servicing activities relating to the credit card products we offer to consumers at shopping centers, hypermarkets and street stores. A substantial part of our credit card advances is financed through securitization of the receivables underlying the accounts originated. Our revenues from credit card operations are derived from interest income generated by financing activities, merchants’ fees, insurance charges for life and disability insurance, and fees for data processing and other services. As from September 1, 2010, Tarshop was deconsolidated from our financial statements, leaving a marginal activity in this segment. The Consumer Finance segment had assets of Ps. 48.7 million as of June 30, 2011 and Ps. 62.5 million as of June 30, 2012, which represented 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated an operating income of Ps. 19.0 million and Ps. 2.7 million for our 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively, representing 3.2% and 0.4%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.

Development and Sale of Properties
 
Our activity of sale of commercial properties, office buildings and land reserves is reflected in this segment.The acquisition and development of residential apartment complexes and other residential communities for sale is another of our core activities. Our development of residential apartment complexes consists of the construction of high-rise towers or the conversion and renovation of existing structures, such as factories and warehouses. For the development of residential communities in general, we acquire vacant land, develop infrastructure such as roads, utilities and common areas, and sell plots of land for construction of single-family homes. Our Development and sale of properties segment had assets of Ps. 712.5 million as of June 30, 2011 and Ps. 747.9 million as of June 30, 2012, representing 11.3% of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of Ps. 85.1 million and Ps. 91.2 million during our 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively, representing 14.5% and 12.4%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.
 
Office buildings
 
As of June 30, 2012, we directly and indirectly owned a majority interest in 19 office buildings and other non-shopping center rental properties in Argentina that in the aggregate represented 287,912 square meters of gross leaseable area. Our Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segment had assets of Ps. 1,412.6 million as of June 30, 2011 and Ps. 1,363.1 million as of June 30, 2012, representing 22.4% and 20.7%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of Ps. 84.1 million and Ps. 105.1 million during our 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively, representing 14.4% and 14.3%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.
 
Hotels
 
We own a 50% equity interest in Hotel Llao Llao, located in the outskirts of Bariloche, a 76.34% equity interest in Hotel Intercontinental in the City of Buenos Aires, an 80% equity interest in Hotel Sheraton Libertador, also in Buenos Aires, and through our subsidiaries, we hold a 49% interest in hotel “Esplendor Savoy” in the City of Rosario, and an interest in Hersha Hospitality Trust and Supertel Hospitality Inc., which hold several hotel franchises in the United States of America.  Our Hotels segment had assets of Ps. 509.1 million as of June 30, 2011 and Ps. 727.2 million as of June 30, 2012, representing 8.1% and 11%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of Ps. 12.2 million and an operating loss of Ps. 14.4 million during our 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, representing 2.1% and -2.0%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.
 
Banco Hipotecario
 
During fiscal year 2012, we maintained our 29.77% equity interest in Banco Hipotecario, held in the form of Class D shares, which are currently entitled to three votes per share, affording us, as of this fiscal year end, a right to 46.46%1 of the total votes that can be cast at Banco Hipotecario’s shareholders’ meetings. As of June 30, 2012, our investment in Banco Hipotecario represented 15.5% of our consolidated assets, and during our fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2011 and 2012, this investment generated income for Ps. 151.6 million, Ps. 76.7 million and Ps. 105.0 million, respectively.

5. Business Strategy
 
As a leading company in Argentina dedicated to acquiring, developing and managing real estate, we seek to (i) generate stable cash flows through the operation of our real estate rental assets (shopping centers, office buildings, hotels), (ii) achieve long-term appreciation of our asset portfolio by taking advantage of development opportunities, and (iii) increase the productivity of our land reserves and enhance the margins of our Development and sale of properties segment through partnerships with other developers.
 
Shopping centers.
 
Our main purpose is to maximize our shareholders’ profitability. By using our know-how in the shopping center industry in Argentina as well as our leading position, we seek to generate a sustainable growth of cash flow and to increase the long-term value of our real estate assets.
 
We attempt to take advantage of the unsatisfied supply in different urban areas of the region, as well as of our customers’ purchase experience. Therefore, we seek to develop new shopping centers in urban areas with attractive prospects for growth, including Buenos Aires’ Metropolitan area, some cities in the provinces of Argentina and possibly, other places abroad. To achieve this strategy, the close business relationship we have had for years with more than 1000 retail companies and trademarks composing our selected group of tenants is of utmost importance, as it allows us to offer an adequate mix of tenants for each particular case.
 
Development and Sale of Properties.
 
We seek to purchase undeveloped properties in densely-populated areas and build apartment complexes offering “greenspace” for recreational activities. We also seek to develop residential communities by acquiring undeveloped properties with convenient access to the City of Buenos Aires, developing roads and other basic infrastructure such as power and water, and then selling lots for the construction of residential units. After the economic crisis in 2001 and 2002, the scarcity of mortgage financing restricted the growth in middle class home purchases, and as a result, we mainly focused on the development of residential communities for middle and high-income individuals, who do not need to finance their home purchases.
 
Office buildings.
 
Since the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002, there has been limited investment in high-quality office buildings in Buenos Aires and, as a result, we believe there is currently substantial demand for those desirable office spaces. We seek to purchase and develop premium office buildings in strategically-located business districts in the City of Buenos Aires and other strategic locations that we believe offer return and potential for long-term capital gain. We expect to continue our focus on attracting premium corporate tenants to our office buildings. Furthermore, we intend to consider on a selective basis new opportunities to acquire or construct new rental office buildings.
 
Hotels.
 
We believe our portfolio of three luxury hotels is positioned to take advantage of future growth in tourism and travel in Argentina. We seek to continue with our strategy to invest in high-quality properties which are operated by leading international hotel companies to capitalize on their operating experience and international reputation.
 
Banco Hipotecario.
 
We currently seek to keep our investment in Banco Hipotecario, as we believe that Argentina has a low level of mortgages outstanding measured in terms of GDP and as a result, our investment in Banco Hipotecario is interesting in the long term.
 
Land reserves.
 
We seek to continue to acquire undeveloped land at locations we consider attractive inside and outside Buenos Aires. In each case, our intention is to purchase land with significant development or appreciation potential for subsequent sale. We believe that holding a portfolio of desirable undeveloped plots of land enhances our ability to make strategic long-term investments and affords us a valuable “pipeline” of new development projects for upcoming years.
 
International.
 
We have recently acquired through our subsidiary, in which we hold a 49% equity interest, an office building located at Madison Avenue in the City of New York; we also have a 49% interest in a US company, whose main asset is the so-called “Lipstick” office building located in the City of New York. In addition, jointly with subsidiaries, we acquired and then partially sold equity interests in a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), called Hersha (NYSE: HT), which holds a controlling interest in 64 hotels in the United States, totaling around 9,221 rooms. As of June 30, we hold a 9.13% stake in the company. We intend to continue evaluating -on a selective basis- real estate investment opportunities outside Argentina as long as they offer attractive investment and development options.

6. Description of Operations
 
Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties
 
We are engaged in the acquisition, development and management of Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties in Argentina. As of June 30, 2012, we directly and indirectly owned interests in 19 office and other rental properties in Argentina, which comprised 287,912 square meters of gross leaseable area. Out of these properties, 12 were office properties, which comprised 145,126 square meters of gross leaseable area. For fiscal year 2012, we had revenues from Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties of Ps. 192.3 million.
 
All our office rental property in Argentina is located in Buenos Aires City. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the average occupancy rate for all our properties in the Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segment was approximately 98.1%. Seven different tenants accounted for approximately 45.0% of our total revenues from office rentals for fiscal year 2012: Exxon Mobile Business, Price Waterhouse, Grupo Total Austral, La Nación, Sibille S.C. (KPMG), Grupo Danone Argentina and Apache Energía Argentina.
 
Management.
 
We generally act as the managing agent of the office properties in which we own an interest. These interests consist primarily of the ownership of entire buildings or a substantial number of floors in a building. The buildings in which we own floors are generally managed pursuant to the terms of a condominium agreement that typically provides for control by a simple majority of the interests (based on the area owned) in the building. As the managing agent of operations, we are responsible for handling services, such as security, maintenance and housekeeping. These services are generally outsourced. The cost of the services is passed-through and paid for by the tenants, except in the case of our units not rented, in which case we absorb the cost. Our leaseable space is marketed through commissioned brokers, the media and directly by us.
 
Leases.
 
We usually lease our offices and other rental properties by using contracts with an average term of three years, with the exception of a few contracts with terms of five years. These contracts are renewable for two or three years at the tenant’s option. Contracts for the rental of office buildings and other commercial properties are generally stated in U.S. dollars, and in accordance with Argentine law they are not subject to inflation adjustment. Rental rates for renewed periods are negotiated at market value.

Annual Report
 
Principal Terms of the Leases
 
Under Argentine Law, terms of commercial leases must be between three to ten years, with most leases in the shopping center business having terms of no more than five years. Alto Palermo’s lease agreements are generally denominated in Pesos.
 
Leaseable space in Alto Palermo’s shopping centers is marketed through an exclusive arrangement with its real estate brokers, Fibesa S.A. (“Fibesa”) and Comercializadora Los Altos S.A. (merged with Fibesa S.A. as of July 1, 2009). Alto Palermo has a standard lease agreement, the terms and conditions of which are described below, which it uses for most tenants. However, Alto Palermo’s largest tenants generally negotiate better terms for their respective leases. No assurance can be given that lease terms will be as set forth in the standard lease agreement.
 
Alto Palermo charges its tenants a rent which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly gross sales in the store (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross sales). Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 12% each year on an annual and cumulative basis as from the thirteenth (13th) month of the lease effective term. Although many of our lease agreements contain readjustment clauses, these are not based on an official index nor do they reflect the inflation index. In the event of litigation, no assurance can be given that Alto Palermo may be able to enforce such clauses contained in its lease agreements.
 
In addition to rent, Alto Palermo charges most of its tenants an admission fee, which is required to be paid upon entering into a lease agreement and upon a lease agreement renewal, which is negotiated with each of the tenants. The admission fee is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. If the tenant pays this fee in installments, it is the tenant’s responsibility to pay for the balance of any such amount unpaid in the event the tenant terminates its lease prior to its expiration. In the event of unilateral termination and/or resolution for breach of duties by the tenant, a tenant will not be refunded its admission right without Alto Palermo’s consent.
 
Alto Palermo is responsible for supplying each shopping center with the electrical power connection and provision, a main telephone switchboard, central air conditioning connection and a connection to a general fire detection system. Each rental unit is connected to these systems. Alto Palermo also provides the food court tenants with sanitation and with gas systems connections. Each tenant is responsible for completing all the necessary installations within its own rental unit, in addition to payment of the direct expenses generated by these items within each rental unit. These direct expenses generally include: electricity, water, gas, telephone and air conditioning. Tenants must also pay for a percentage of total charges and general taxes related to the maintenance of the common areas. Alto Palermo determines this percentage based on several factors. The common area expenses include, among others, administration, security, operations, maintenance, cleaning and taxes.
 
Alto Palermo carries out promotional and marketing activities to increase visits to its shopping centers. These activities are paid for with the tenants’ contributions to the Common Promotional Fund (“CPF”), which is administered by Alto Palermo. Every month tenants contribute to the CPF an amount equal to approximately 15% of their rent (Base Rent or Percentage Rent, as applicable), in addition to rent and expense payments. Alto Palermo may increase the percentage that tenants must contribute to the CPF, but the increase cannot exceed 25% of the original amount set forth in the corresponding lease agreement for the contributions to the CPF. Alto Palermo also may require tenants to make extraordinary contributions to the CPF to fund special promotional and marketing campaigns or to cover the costs of special promotional events that benefit all tenants. We may require tenants to make these extraordinary contributions up to four times a year provided that each such extraordinary contribution may not exceed 25% of the preceding monthly rental payment of the tenant.
 
Each tenant leases its rental unit as a shell without any fixtures. Each tenant is responsible for the interior design of its rental unit. Any modifications and additions to the rental units must be pre-approved by Alto Palermo. Alto Palermo has the option to decide tenants’ responsibility for all costs incurred in remodeling the rental units or for removing any additions made to the rental unit when the lease expires. Furthermore, tenants are responsible for obtaining adequate insurance for their rental units, which must include, among other things, coverage for fire, glass breakage, theft, flood, civil liability and workers’ compensation.

La Ribera Shopping, City of Santa Fe. On June 15, 2011, Alto Palermo S.A.

(NPSF), a company that is the tenant of a property where it constructed the shopping center and where the shopping center currently operates.
 
The price agreed upon for such acquisition of a 50% interest is US$ 4.5 million payable in 19 monthly installments without recognizing financing interest, and the last installment is due in February 2013.
 
The purchase of NPSF's shares was conditional upon Ente Administrador Puerto Santa Fe approving the change in the shareholding structure of NPSF and Caja de Asistencia Social Lotería de Santa Fe not raising any objection thereto. As such conditions were met, on August 18, 2011, the shares were transferred. Furthermore, NPSF and Casino Puerto Santa Fe (CPSF) executed a sub-concession agreement which replaces the previous lease agreement held by NPSF.
 
Accordingly, APSA became the owner of 33.33% and its controlled company Torodur became the owner of 16.66% of the shares, which in the aggregate account for 50% of the capital stock and voting rights of NPSF. In turn, GRAINCO S.A. became the owner of the remaining 50% interest.
 
La Ribera Shopping is located in an area of  43,219 square meters, with 48 retail stores and one 7-screen 2D and 3D multiplex movie theatre, the last screening room of which was opened in August 2012 and features state-of-the-art sound and image technology.

Its influence area represents a potential market consisting of over one million people.

Development and Sale of Properties and Land Reserves
 
Residential Development Properties
 
The acquisition and development of residential apartment complexes and residential communities for sale is one of our core activities. Our development of residential apartment complexes consists of the new construction of high-rise towers or the conversion and renovation of existing structures such as factories or warehouses. In connection with our development of residential communities, we frequently acquire vacant land, develop infrastructure such as roads, utilities and common areas, and sell plots of land for construction of single-family homes. We may also develop or sell portions of land for others to develop complementary facilities such as shopping areas within residential developments.
 
In fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, revenues from the Development and sale of properties segment amounted to Ps. 328.4 million, compare to Ps. 341.1 million posted in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
 
Construction and renovation works on our residential development properties are currently performed, under our supervision, by independent Argentine construction companies that are selected through a bidding process. We enter into turnkey contracts with the selected company for the construction of residential development properties pursuant to which the selected company agrees to build and deliver the development for a fixed price and at a fixed date. We are generally not responsible for any additional costs based upon the turnkey contract. All other aspects of the construction, including architectural design, are performed by third parties.
 
Another modality for the development of residential undertakings is the exchange of land for constructed square meters. In this way, we deliver undeveloped pieces of land and another firm is in charge of building the project. In this case, we receive finished square meters for commercialization, without taking part in the construction works.

In the apartment building market, we acquire undeveloped properties strategically located in densely populated areas of the City of Buenos Aires, particularly properties located near shopping centers and hypermarkets or those to be constructed. We then develop multi-building high-rise complexes targeting the middle- and high- income market. These are equipped with modern comforts and services, such as open “green areas,” swimming pools, sports and recreation facilities and 24-hour security. In the loft buildings market, our strategy is to acquire old buildings no longer in use located in areas with a significant middle and upper-income population. The properties are then renovated into unfinished lofts allowing buyers the opportunity to design and decorate them according to their preferences.

Apartment Projects Currently Under Development
 
Torre Caballito, City of Buenos Aires. This property, with a surface of 8,404 square meters, is situated in the northern area of Caballito’s residential neighborhood in the City of Buenos Aires. On May 4, 2006, IRSA and KOAD S.A. (“KOAD”), an Argentine developer, entered into an asset exchange agreement valued at US$ 7.5 million pursuant to which it sold to Koad plot number 36 of “Terrenos de Caballito” whereby KOAD has agreed to develop a residential complex called “Caballito Nuevo”, at its costs, consisting of two 34-story towers containing 220 apartments each, consisting of one, two and three bedroom residential units with surface areas ranging from 40 to 85 sqm, totaling approximately 28,000 saleable sqm. The project offers a wide variety of amenities and services. As a result of this transaction, Koad delivered to IRSA 118 apartments and 61 parking lots in the first tower, representing 25% of the total square meters for sale. As of June 30, 2012, 9 apartments and 11 parking spaces are still pending sale.
 
Horizons Project, Vicente López, Olivos, Province of Buenos Aires. In January, 2007, we acquired the total shares of Rummaala S.A., the main asset of which is a plot of land located in Vicente Lopez, Province of Buenos Aires. The purchase price was US$ 21.17 million, payable as follows: (i) US$ 4.25 million in cash and (ii) delivery of certain units of the building to be constructed in the land owned by Rummaala in the amount of US$ 16.92 million, within a 4-year term as from the later of the approval date of the plans by the competent authorities or the date on which the property is vacated. As security for compliance with the construction of the future building and transfer of the future units, the shares acquired were pledged.
 
Simultaneously with the foregoing transaction, Rummaala acquired a plot of land adjacent to its own property for a total purchase price of US$ 15.0 million, payable as follows: (i) US$ 0.5 million in cash; (ii) through the delivery of certain units of buildings Cruceros I and II in the amount of US$ 1.25 million and (iii) trough the delivery of certain units of the building to be constructed in the land acquired for a total purchase price of US$ 13.25 million, within a 40-month term as from the later of the approval date of the plans by the competent authorities or the date on which the property is vacated. As security for compliance with the construction of the future building and transfer of the future units, the property located at Suipacha 652 was mortgaged.
 
In April 2007, we created CYRSA S.A. (“CYRSA”) in order to have a corporate vehicle to facilitate the development of a specific project together with one or more investors having in-depth knowledge and vast experience in the industry. To that end, we contributed 100% of the capital stock in Rummaala S.A. and the debt in kind associated to the acquisition of the land to CYRSA for a net amount of $ 21.5 million, whereas CYRELA contributed $ 21.5 million (an amount equivalent to the value of the shares that we contributed).
 
We entered into an agreement with Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Partiçipacões for the development of residential projects in the Republic of Argentina through CYRSA, which will operate under the name of IRSA - CYRELA.
 
IRSA-CYRELA’s development project in this plot made up by two adjacent blocks in the Vicente López neighborhood, was launched in March under the name “Horizons”. It is one of the most significant developments in Greater Buenos Aires, which entailed a new concept in residential complexes given its emphasis on the use of common spaces. This project includes two complexes with a total of six buildings; one of them facing the river with three 14-floor buildings (the “River” complex) and the other on Avenida del Libertador with three 17-floor buildings (the “Park” complex), totaling 59,000 sqm of constructed surface area for sale distributed in 467 units (to the exclusion of the units to be delivered in exchange for the acquisition of land). With its unique and innovating style in residential complexes, Horizons has 32 amenities, including a meeting room; a work zone; heated swimming pools; club house and spa, sauna, gym, children room, teen room; theme-park areas; and aerobic trail, to name but a few. The showroom was opened to the public in March 2008 with immediate success.
 
As of June 30, 2012, preliminary sales agreements had been executed for 100% of our own units on sale. The Towers located in both blocks are completed and the title deeds of its units are being executed. Delivery of the last units is expected to be completed during fiscal year 2012-2013.

Private Residential Communities
 
In the residential communities market, we acquire undeveloped properties located in suburban areas or neighborhoods near the large cities to develop private neighborhoods and country clubs in which to sell vacant lots for the construction of single family homes. In these properties we build streets and roads and arrange for the provision of basic municipal services and amenities such as open spaces, sports facilities and security. We seek to capitalize on improvements in transportation and communication around the City of Buenos Aires, the growing suburbanization of the region and the shift of the population moving to countryside-type residential communities.
 
An important factor in the trend towards living in suburban areas has been the improvements and additions to the Autopista Panamericana, Avenida General Paz and Acceso Oeste highways, which significantly reduce traveling time, encouraging a significant number of families to move to the new residential neighborhoods. Furthermore, improvements in public train, subway and bus transportation since their privatization have also influenced the trend to adopt this lifestyle.
 
As of June 30, 2012, our residential communities for the construction of single-family homes for sale in Argentina had a total of 5,137 square meters of saleable area in Abril, and 26,373 sqm of saleable area in “El Encuentro” (Benavidez). Both residential communities are located in the province of Buenos Aires.
 
Abril, Hudson, Greater Buenos Aires. Abril is a 312-hectare private residential community located near Hudson City, approximately 34 kilometers south of the City of Buenos Aires. We have developed this property into a private residential community for the construction of single family homes targeting the upper-middle income market. The project includes 20 neighborhoods subdivided into 1,273 lots of approximately 1,107 square meters each. Abril also includes an 18-hole golf course, 130 hectares of woodlands, a 4,000-square meter mansion and entertainment facilities. A bilingual school, horse stables and sports centers and the construction of the shopping center were concluded in 1999. The neighborhoods have been completed, and as of June 30, 2012, 99.6% of the property had been sold for an aggregate of over Ps. 240 million, with 5,137 square meters available for sale.
 
El Encuentro, Benavidez, Tigre. In the district of Benavidez, Municipality of Tigre, 35 kilometers north from downtown Buenos Aires, a 110-hectare gated residential complex known as “El Encuentro” is located, consisting of a total of 527 lots with a total saleable area of 610,785.15 sqm with two privileged front accesses: the main one to Vía Bancalari and the service one to Highway No. 9, allowing an easy way to and from the city. On May 21, 2004 an exchange deed was signed for the original lot whereby DEESA agreed to pay US$ 4.0 million to our subsidiary Inversora Bolívar, of which US$ 1.0 million were paid in cash and the balance of US$ 3.0 million was paid on December 22, 2009, with the transfer of 110 residential plots already chosen, totaling a saleable area of 127,795 sqm. The development of the project is completed and equipped with power supply, water, sewage, effluent treatment plant, public lighting, finished driveways and accesses, buildings, sports facilities, etc.
 
As of June 30, 2012, after having started its commercialization in March 2010, 84 units have been sold; there are reserves for 6 units for an amount of US$ 0.82 million, and 22 units are available for sale.
 
Land Reserves
 
We have acquired large undeveloped properties as land reserves located in strategic areas for the future development of office and apartment buildings, shopping centers and single family housing. We have acquired what we believe to be two of the largest and most important undeveloped river front plots in Buenos Aires, Puerto Retiro and Santa María del Plata, for the future development of residential and office spaces. In addition, we have benefited from the improvement of land values during periods of economic growth. As of June 30, 2012, our land reserves totaled 25 properties consisting of approximately 2,160 hectares (including the lot in Caballito, and the air space over Coto C.I.C.S.A. - “Coto”- where we hold interests through our subsidiary Alto Palermo).

Land Reserves in the City of Buenos Aires
 
Solares de Santa Maria, City of Buenos Aires, (formerly Santa María del Plata).  Solares de Santa María is a 70-hectare property facing the Río de la Plata in the south of Puerto Madero, 10 minutes from downtown Buenos Aires. Through our subsidiary Solares de Santa María S.A. (“Solares de Santa María”) we are owners of this property. We intend to develop this property for mixed purposes, i.e. our development project involves residential complexes as well as offices, stores, hotels, sports and sailing clubs, services areas with schools, supermarkets and parking lots.
 
As part of the project, we had sold 10% of Solares de Santa María capital stock for US$ 10.6 million to Mr. Israel Sutton Dabbah, who is part of the Sutton Group. An initial payment of US$ 1.5 million was made and the balance of US$ 9.1 million was due on December 23, 2009. In order to secure his obligations under the share purchase agreement, the buyer created a pledge on certain assets owned by it for our and our subsidiary, Palermo Invest S.A.’s benefit.
 
On the first days of September 2010, and after the end of fiscal year 2010, we acquired (through E-commerce Latina S.A.) a 100% interest in Unicity for the sum of US$ 2.5 million. The main asset of Unicity includes 31,491,932 shares representative of 10% of Solares de Santa María S.A.’s stock capital and pursuant to which it held liabilities with IRSA for the purchase price balance, which as of even date amounts to US$ 9.1 million. On September 28, 2010 such liabilities were capitalized and we received in exchange 36,036,000 shares accounting for 88.61% of Unicity, and the remaining balance of 11.39% is held by E-Commerce Latina S.A.
 
In 1997 we acquired the site which the National Executive Branch had assigned to be the Olympic village of the Olympic Games in case Buenos Aires was chosen as host city to hold the Olympic Games. A rule passed by the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires in 1992 provided general urban standards to the site, and stated that the “Site urban design” was to be submitted for approval of the Environmental Urban Plan Council (Consejo de Planificación Urbana - “COPUA”). As from the acquisition of this property, we have been seeking the municipal approvals necessary for the development of a mixed project in the area.
 
In the year 2000, we filed a master plan for the Santa María del Plata site, which was assessed by COPUA and submitted to the Town Treasurer’s Office for its consideration. In 2002, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires issued a notice of public hearing and in July 2006, the COPUA made some recommendations about the project, and in response to the recommendations made by COPUA to the project on December 13, 2006, we filed an amendment to the project to adjust it to the recommendations made by COPUA, making material amendments to our development plan for the Area, which amendments included the donation of 50% of the site to the City of Buenos Aires for public use and convenience and a perimetrical pedestrian lane along the entire site on the river bank.
 
In March 2007, a committee of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, composed of representatives from the Legislative and Executive Branches, issued a report stating that such Committee had no objections to our development plan and requested that the General Treasury render a decision concerning the scope of the development plan submitted for the project.
 
In November 2007, 15 years after the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires granted the general zoning standards for the site, the Government Chief of the City of Buenos Aires executed Decree No. 1584/07, which passed the specific ruling, set forth certain rules for the urban development of the project, including types of permitted constructions and the obligation to assign certain spaces for public use and convenience.
 
Notwithstanding the approval of Decree No. 1584/07 in 2007, several municipal approvals are still pending and in December 2007, a municipal court rendered a decision restricting the implementation of our proposed development plan due to objections made by a legislator of the City of Buenos Aires, alleging the suspension of Decree No. 1584/07 and each construction project and/or the municipal permits granted for business purposes. Notwithstanding the legality and validity that has the referred decree for the company, alternatively, Agreement 5/10 was executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, which has been sent with a legislative bill to the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires under number 976-J-2010, for approval. Once approved, these regulations will have the hierarchy of a law.
 
Puerto Retiro. Puerto Retiro is an 8.2 hectare undeveloped riverside property bounded by the Catalinas and Puerto Madero office zones to the west, the Retiro railway station to the north and the Río de la Plata to the south and east. One of the only two significant privately owned waterfront properties in the City of Buenos Aires, Puerto Retiro may currently be utilized only for port activities, so we have initiated negotiations with municipal authorities in order to rezone the area. Our plan is to develop a 360,000 sqm financial center. The launching date has not been settled and consequently, the estimated cost and financing method are not decided yet. We own a 50% interest in Puerto Retiro.

Caballito lot, Ferro Project. This is a property of approximately 23,791 sqm in the City of Buenos Aires, neighborhood of Caballito, one of the most densely populated of the city, which Alto Palermo purchased in November 1997. This plot would allow developing a shopping center having 30,000 sqm, a hypermarket, a cinema complex, and several recreation and entertainment activity areas. At present, the legislature of the City of Buenos Aires has received a legislative bill to approve the zoning parameters corresponding to this property which already has the consent of the Executive Branch.
 
Beruti plot. During June 2008, APSA acquired a plot of land situated at Beruti 3351/3359, between Bulnes and Avenida Coronel Díaz in Palermo, a neighborhood in the City of Buenos Aires quite close to our Shopping Center known as “Alto Palermo Shopping”. The transaction involved a surface area of 3,207 sqm for a price of US$ 17.8 million. This has been a significant acquisition because of the strategic location of the property, in the immediate vicinity of our main shopping center.
 
In October 2010, the lot was sold to TGLT for US$ 18.8 million. As consideration for the sale, APSA received US$ 10.7 million in cash upon the execution of the preliminary sales agreement. As consideration for the balance, APSA will receive 17.33% of the apartments’ saleable area, 15.82% of the residential parking spaces and 170 business parking spaces located in the first and second underground levels. As security for the transaction, TGLT delivered to APSA a performance bond for US$ 4.0 million and a first-degree mortgage in the name of APSA for US$ 8.1 million, over the lot. Delivery is expected to take place in November 2013.
 
Terreno Paraná. On June 30, 2009, Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) executed a “Letter of Intent” whereby it stated its intention to acquire a plot of land of approximately 10,022 sqm in the City of Paraná, Province of Entre Ríos, to be allocated to the construction, development and exploitation of a shopping center or mall. The purchase price was US$ 0.5 million, out of which at the beginning of July 2010, the sum of US$ 0.05 million was paid as advance payment, in August 2010 US$ 0.1 million was paid, and the remaining US$ 0.35 million will be paid upon the execution of the title deed. The certificate of possession of the Lot was executed on December 29, 2012.
 
Caballito plot. During this fiscal year, we and TGLT executed a barter deed pursuant to which we transferred to TGLT under a swap agreement the property detailed in the deed as described below, which has a total surface area of 9,784 sqm: plot of land, designated as Parcel ONE L, in block 35, facing Méndez de Andes street between Rojas and Colpayo streets in the Caballito neighborhood.
 
In turn, TGLT agreed to carry out in the property a real estate development for residential use. In exchange for the transfer of the property, APSA will receive non-cash considerations equivalent to US$ 12.75 million, which consist in transferring under barter to APSA certain home units in the buildings to be built which will represent 23.1% of the saleable area and 21.1% of the parking spaces area. As security for the transaction, TGLT has granted to IRSA a first-degree mortgage over the property in the amount of US$ 12.75 million.
 
Pursuant to the Barter Deed executed by the parties the units in Tower 1 will be delivered in October 2014, the units in Tower 2 will be delivered in April 2015 and the units in Tower 3 will be delivered in October 2015.
 
Coto Residential Project. Alto Palermo owns approximately 24,000 sqm in air space over the top of the Coto hypermarket that is close to the Abasto Shopping Center in the heart of the City of Buenos Aires. Alto Palermo S.A. and Coto Centro Integral de Comercialización S.A.

Sale of Pereiraola, Hudson. Directly and indirectly through Inversora Bolivar, we had a 100.0% interest in Pereiraola S.A., a company whose principal asset is a 130-hectare undeveloped property adjacent to Abril, a private residential community developed by IRSA.
 
On April 21, 2010, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a third party whereby IRSA agrees to sell 100% of Pereiraola S.A.’s shares. The total price of the transaction was established at US$ 11.8 million plus VAT, which meant a gain of Ps. 21.7 million over book value.
 
On June 25, 2010, we accepted a purchase bid for US$ 11,786,972, to be paid partly in cash and partly in kind. For the cash-based payment, the buyer has paid us US$ 1,940,000. The US$ 7,760,000 balance will be paid in 4 half-yearly, equal and consecutive installments of US$ 1,940,000 each. As to the non-monetary part of the transaction, the buyer will transfer ownership to us over certain lots within 36 months starting on the date its bid is accepted.
 
Late in July 2012, the buyer paid the monetary portion of consideration and therefore only delivery of the promised lots is pending.
 
To secure payment of the price, the buyer sets up a pledge over Pereiraola’s shares, which remain in our custody. Besides, the buyer created a first-degree mortgage in our favor over the property.
 
Pilar. Pilar is a 74-hectare undeveloped land reserve property located close to the city of Pilar, 55 kilometers northwest of downtown Buenos Aires.

We are considering several alternatives for this property including the development of a residential community or the sale of this property in its current state and, therefore, we do not have a cost estimate or financing plan. The plot’s book value is estimated to be Ps. 3.4 million as of June 30, 2012.

Acquisition of companies in the real estate business in the Republic of Uruguay
 
In the course of fiscal year 2009 we acquired a 100% ownership interest in Liveck S.A. ("Liveck"), a company organized under the laws of Uruguay, in exchange for a token consideration. In June 2009, Liveck had acquired a 90% stake in the capital stock of Vista al Muelle S.A. and Zetol S.A., two Uruguay-based real estate companies, for US$ 7.8 million. The remaining 10% ownership interest in both companies is in the hands of Banzey S.A. (Banzey). These companies have undeveloped lands in Canelones, Uruguay, close to the capital city of Uruguay, Montevideo.

The total purchase price for Zetol was US$ 7.0 million; there has been a down payment for US$ 2.0 million and it has been agreed that the balance shall be paid in 5 installments of US$ 1.0 million each, accruing interest at an annual 3.5% rate on outstanding balances, against the consummated launches of the projected construction or within a maximum term of 93 months counted as from the date of acquisition by the Company. The sellers may choose to receive, in lieu of cash for the outstanding balances (principal plus interest), ownership over units in the buildings to be constructed in the land owned by Zetol equivalent to 12% of the total marketable meters to be constructed.

The total price for the acquisition of Vista al Muelle was US$ 0.83 million, as follows: there has been a US$ 0.5 million down payment and it has been agreed that the balance will be paid within a maximum term of two years plus an annual 8% interest rate on balances.

To secure compliance with the obligations assumed by Liveck in connection with the above-mentioned transactions, Ritelco S.A. has tendered a surety bond to secure 45% of the price balance, interest, and the sellers’ option rights.

There is a mortgage over the land bought, which means that the sellers rely on a dual guarantee. As of June 30, 2009, the Company sold a 50% stake in Liveck to Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A for US$ 1.3 million.

Under the agreement for the purchase and sale of Zetol and Vista al Muelle and its respective addenda, Liveck has undertaken to acquire the shareholding held by Banzey (or by Ernesto Kimelman or by an entity owned by him, as applicable) in those companies and Banzey has agreed to sell the shares for the amount in US Dollars or in Uruguayan Pesos, as applicable, that any of them would have actually contributed to Zetol and Vista al Muelle, until the transaction is consummated.

In December 2009, Vista al Muelle acquired other real property totaling US$ 1.9 million; there has been a US$ 0.3 million down payment and the balance shall be discharged through the delivery of housing units and/or storefronts to be constructed and equivalent to 12% of a 65.54% portion of the sum of the prices of all the units covered by the Launching Price List for Sector B (the parties have already signed a plat of subdivision to this end).

In February 2010, it acquired additional real estate for a total of US$ 1.0 million in exchange for a down payment of US$ 0.15 million with the balance to be paid in 3 consecutive and equal installments maturing on December 31, 2011, June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2014 and accruing an annual 3% interest rate on the outstanding balance, payable quarterly and in arrears as from December 31, 2009.
 
On December 17, 2010, IRSA and Cyrela executed a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which IRSA purchased from Cyrela a 50% stake in Liveck S.A. for US$ 2.7 million. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2012, IRSA’s stake, through Tyrus, in Liveck is 100%.
 
We intend to carry out an urban project consisting in the construction of apartment buildings to be subsequently sold. The project has been granted the requisite “urban feasibility” status by the Mayor’s Office of the Canelones department and by its local legislature.

Lipstick building, New York, United States
 
In July 2008, IRSA (through its subsidiaries) acquired a 30% equity interest in Metropolitan, whose net equity is mainly an office building known as “Lipstick Building”, and the debt related to this asset. The transaction included the acquisition of (i) put rights effective July 2011 over 50% of the interest purchased for a price equal to the amount invested plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum and (ii) a right of first offering for the acquisition of 60% of the 5% equity interest. The price paid for the transaction was US$ 22.6 million.
 
During fiscal year 2011, as a result of negotiations successfully undertaken, an agreement was reached to restructure Metropolitan’s debt as follows:
 
(i) the mortgage debt was reduced from US$ 210.0 million to US$ 130.0 million at a Libor rate + 400 basis points, subject to a cap of 6.25% and a 7-year maturity term;
 
(ii) the junior debt, amounting to US$ 45.0 million (excluding accrued interest) was repaid with the payment of US$ 2.25 million; and
 
(iii) the existing ground leases will be maintained under the same terms and conditions as they were granted, in principle for a remaining period of 66 years.
 
This restructuring took place on December 30, 2010. On such date, a principal payment of US$ 15.0 million (previously contributed by IRSA) was made under the new restructured mortgage debt, reducing it from US$ 130.0 million to US$ 115.0 million.
 
Following such closing, IRSA indirectly holds 49% of New Lipstick LLC, a holding company that is owner of Metropolitan, and under the scope of these agreements, it cancelled the put option for 50% of the equity interest initially acquired.
 
The Lipstick Building is a landmark building in the City of New York, located on Third Avenue and 53rd Street in Midtown-Manhattan, New York. It was designed by architects John Burgee and Philip Johnson (Glass House and Seagram Buildings among other remarkable works) and its name is due to its original elliptic form and the reddish color of its façade. Its gross leaseable area is around 57,500 sqm distributed in 34 stories.
 
As of June 30, 2012, this building had an occupancy rate over 86% generating average revenues above US$ 63.0 per sqm per month.
 
In the last year 5 new lease agreements were executed in respect of an area equal to 1547 sqm, generating average monthly revenues of US$ 74.5/sqm. In addition, 3 agreements were renewed in respect of an area of 808 sqm with average monthly revenues of US$ 69.5/sqm. While the building net absorption rate was somewhat negative (-2.57%), the average rental amount compared to the previous year rose by 5% (from US$ 60/sqm to US$ 63/sqm).
 
In respect of the “turn key” offices constructed on floor 26, 3 of them were occupied, and the last one is available for lease. Going ahead with the turn key office development program, designs are in progress to build more spaces on floors 17, 19, 27 and 31, which were also entrusted to the architecture firm Gensler. In addition, in July remodeling of the exterior of the Lobby was completed and a photo exhibition about the life of Philip Johnson was inaugurated and curated by Hillary Lewis; both works were entrusted to the renowned firm Moed de Armas & Shannon.

7. COMPETITION
 
Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties
 
Substantially all of our office and other non-shopping center rentals are located in developed urban areas. There is a great number of office buildings, shopping malls, retail and residential premises in the areas where our properties are located. This is a highly fragmented market, and the abundance of comparable properties in our vicinity may adversely affect our ability to rent or sell office space and other real estate as well as the sale and rental price of the properties.
 
In the future, both national and foreign companies may participate in Argentina’s real estate development market, competing with us for business opportunities. Moreover, in the future we may participate in the development of real estate in foreign markets, potentially encountering well established competitors.
 
Shopping centers
 
Because most of our shopping centers are located in highly populated areas, there are competing shopping centers within, or in close proximity to, our targeted areas. The number of shopping centers in a particular area could have a material effect on our ability to lease space in our shopping centers and on the amount of rent that we are able to charge. We believe that due to the limited availability of large plots of land and zoning restrictions in the City of Buenos Aires, it will be difficult for other companies to compete with us in areas through the development of new shopping center properties. Our principal competitor is Cencosud S.A. which owns and operates Unicenter shopping center and the Jumbo hypermarket chain, among others.

10. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS
 
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the fiscal years ended on such dates should be read in conjunction with our “Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”.
 
Variability of Results
 
Income derived from the lease of office space and retail stores and sales of properties are two core sources of income. The historical results of our Company’s operations have varied over different periods based on the prevailing opportunities in connection with the sale of properties. No assurance can be given that our results will not continue to be influenced by the periodical sale of properties.
 
Consolidation
 
We have consolidated our Balance Sheets, Statements of Income and Cash Flow statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 line by line with the financial statements of our controlled companies in accordance with the procedure set forth in Technical Resolution No. 21 of Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (“F.A.C.P.C.E.”), approved by Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (“CPCECABA”) and Comisión Nacional de Valores (National Securities Commission). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made from the financial statements as of June 30, 2011 originally released for purposes of their comparison with the figures as of June 30, 2012.
 
The financial statements have been prepared in constant currency, recognizing the overall effects of inflation until August 31, 1995. From that date to December 31, 2001, the financial statements’ restatement was discontinued due to the existence of a monetary stability period. From January 1, 2002 to February 28, 2003, the effects of inflation were recognized due to the existence of an inflationary period. Inflation accounting was again discontinued as from that date.
 
This criterion represents a departure from the generally accepted accounting principles, which required that the financial statements be restated up to September 30, 2003. However, due to low inflation rates during the period from March to September 2003, this departure did not have a material effect on the financial statements taken as a whole.
 
The index used for the restatement of accounts was the wholesale domestic price index published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census.
 
Progress made in compliance with IFRS Implementation Plan
 
On April 29, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a specific plan for implementing the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the application of which shall be mandatory as from the next fiscal year starting on July 1, 2012. In conformity with such plan, the Company has completed personnel training and the initial diagnosis of the differences between standards, and it is currently implementing the required changes in processes and systems to make them consistent with the new standards.
 
Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements explains the main effects from the change in standards on information related to the Company's Shareholders' Equity including reconciling the shareholders' equity notes, income for the year, other comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows reconciliation notes which show the impacts caused by the new valuation method applicable under IFRS with respect to Argentine professional accounting standards.
 
Having monitored the specific plan for implementing the IFRS, our Board has not become aware of any circumstance calling for changes in the plan and/or hinting at any potential deviation from the stipulated objectives and terms.
 
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Annual Report
Revenue Recognition
 
We primarily derive our revenues from Argentina-based office space and shopping center rentals and operation, development and sale of residential properties, consumer financing and Hotels operations. This section reflects our revenue recognition policies and those of our controlled and jointly-controlled subsidiaries.
 
Development and sale of properties. We recognize income from the sale of properties when all the criteria listed below are met:
 
- the sale has been consummated (sales are not considered to have been consummated until (i) the parties are bound by the terms of an agreement, (ii) all valuable considerations have been exchanged, (iii) any permanent financing to be granted by the seller has been agreed upon, and (iv) all the conditions previous to the closing of the deal have been met);
 
- we have determined that the initial and continued investment by the buyer is adequate evidence of a commitment to pay for the property (the adequacy of a buyer’s initial investment is measured based on (i) its components and (ii) its size compared to the price of the property);
 
- we have a receivable not subject to future subordination (our receivable shall not occupy a rank, class o position than the remaining of the buyer) and
 
- we have transferred to the buyer the risks and benefits inherent in ownership and we no longer hold a continued ownership interest over the property.
 
We generally enter into purchase and sale agreements with purchasers of units in our residential development properties prior to the commencement of construction. Pursuant to this practice, we initiate our marketing and sales efforts on the basis of already-commissioned architectural designs and model units. As a general rule, purchasers pay a booking charge for the units and subsequently enter into fixed price purchase and sale agreements. The balance of the purchase price is due upon delivery of the constructed and completed unit.
 
Construction of such residential development properties is done pursuant to “turn-key” contracts with major Argentine and South American construction companies that provide for construction to be completed within a prescribed period and budget, subject to customary exceptions.
 
We use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting with respect to sales of development properties under construction effected under fixed-priced contracts. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs applied to the total contract price. It is not until construction works have been significantly commenced and the down payments received are substantial as per our own parameters that we recognize revenues.
 
The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires management to prepare budgeted costs (i.e., the estimated costs of completion) in connection with sales of properties and/or units. All changes to estimated costs of completion are incorporated into revised estimates during the contract period.
 
Under this method of accounting, revenues for work completed may be recognized in the statement of income prior to the period in which actual cash proceeds from the sale are received. In this situation, a deferred asset is recorded. Alternatively, and as it is more common for us, where property and/or unit purchasers pay us an advance down-payment and monthly cash installments prior to the commencement of construction, a liability is recorded. This is recorded as a customer advance in the financial statements.
 
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Annual Report
 
Office and other non-shopping center rental properties leases and services. We account for our leases with tenants as operating leases. We charge tenants a base rent on a monthly basis. We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and unpaid leases are included in the receivables account from sales, leases and services in the financial statements.
 
Shopping center operations, leases and services. We account for our leases with tenants as operating leases. We generally charge tenants a rent which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly gross sales (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross sales). Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most leases, the tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 12% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is accounted for on an accrual basis.
 
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. We determine the compliance with specific targets and calculate the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided for in the contracts. Thus, contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.
 
In general, our 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 that range from one to one and a half month 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.
 
We also charge our tenants a monthly administration fee, prorated among the tenants according to the amounts established in their leases, which vary 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 entirety of the shopping centers operations. We recognize administration fees monthly as they accrue. In addition to rent, we generally charge tenants “admission rights”, a non-reimbursable admission fee that they may be required to pay upon entering into a lease or upon lease renewal. An admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. We recognize admission rights using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements.
 
We also derive revenues from parking lot fees charged to visitors. We recognize parking revenues as services are performed.
 
In addition, we act as lease agents by contacting potential tenants of available spaces in our shopping centers. As a result, we principally obtain revenues from fees charged by us for the execution of lease agreements, which are calculated as a percentage of rental income and admission rights. This income is accounted for at the time of successful conclusion of the transaction.
 
Consumer financing. We derive revenues from consumer financing transactions with credit cards which primarily are comprised of (i) merchant discount fees which are recognized when transactional information is received and processed by us; (ii) data processing services which consist of processing and printing cardholders account statements, and which are recognized as services are provided; (iii) life and disability insurance charges to cardholders which are recognized on an accrual basis and (iv) income from interest arising from financing and loan activities.
 
Hotel operations. We recognize revenues from room service, catering services, and restaurant as earned on the close of each business day.

12. Operating Costs and Expenses
 
Allocation of expenses and other income to business segments
 
Allocation of selling expenses to business segments.
 
Selling expenses directly attributable to the Shopping centers, Consumer financing and Hotel operations segments are allocated to these business units. These expenses are incurred individually by each segment. All other selling expenses are allocated respectively to the remaining segments according to the segment which has specifically incurred each expense.
 
Allocation of administrative expenses to business segments.
 
Administrative expenses directly attributable to the Shopping centers, Consumer financing and Hotel operations segments are allocated to these segments. These expenses are incurred individually by these segments. All other administrative expenses are prorated among the Development and sale of properties segment and the Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segments based on the percentage of the operating assets and revenues generated by each segment. Accordingly, 47.2% and 52.8% of administrative expenses (excluding expenses directly attributable to the Shopping centers, Consumer financing and Hotel operations segments) are allocated to the Development and sale of properties segment and to the Office and other non-shopping center rental properties segment, respectively.
 
Allocation of net gain from recognition of inventories at net realizable value
 
These results are allocated to the Development and sale of properties segment.
 
Allocation of net gain from retained interest in securitized receivables (Consumer finance)
 
These results are allocated to the Consumer financing segment.
 
Allocation of net gain from operations and holding of real estate assets

Annual Report
14. Results of IRSA’s Operations for fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
Revenues
 
Revenues grew by 8.7%, from Ps. 1,441.9 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 1,567.3 million in the fiscal year 2012 due to the increases in revenues posted by our Shopping Centers, Office and other non-shopping center rental properties segments, except for the Consumer financing, Hotel operations and Development and sale of properties segments that will be further discussed below.
 
Development and sale of properties
 
This segments’ revenues often exhibit major variations between periods by reason of (i) the non-recurrent nature of real estate purchase and sale transactions and the price obtained from them, (ii) the quantity of construction works in progress and (iii) the date of completion of these construction works projects. The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment decreased by 3.7% from Ps. 341.1 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 328.4 million for fiscal year 2012.
 
The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment for fiscal year 2011 included, mainly:
·  
Ps. 92.4 million as income from the sale of completed units of Horizons;
·  
Ps. 91.8 million as income from the sale and barter of Caballito lots;
·  
Ps. 75.4 million as income from the sale and barter of Terreno Beruti;
·  
Ps. 22.9 million as income from the sale of parcels of Rosario’s lots; and
·  
Ps. 20.7 million as income from the sale of lots of "El Encuentro".


The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment for fiscal year 2012 included, mainly:
·  
Ps. 124.2 million as income from the sale of completed units of Horizons;
·  
Ps. 69.0 million as income from the sale of offices known as "Costeros Dique IV";
·  
Ps. 20.0 million as income from the sale of the Thames property;
·  
Ps. 10.6 million as income from the sale of home units in the Libertador 498 building;

Annual Report
 
Office and other non-shopping center rental properties
 
The revenues from our segment Office and other non-shopping center rental properties were up by 16.8%, from Ps. 164.6 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 192.3 million for fiscal year 2012. This increase in the volume of business in the office segment is mainly due to full occupation of the new “Dot Building”, the occupation rate of which was already 100% as of July 31. Some floors in "La Nación" building which had been vacant as of the end of fiscal year 2011 were also occupied in this year.
 
The portfolio occupation rate was 96%, six percentage points above the occupation rate posted as of the end of fiscal year 2011. The rent for the entire portfolio remained at about 27 US$/leased sqm.

Shopping centers
 
The revenues from our Shopping centers segment grew by 29.2%, from Ps. 674.8 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 871.7 million for fiscal year 2012. Such variation was mainly generated by a Ps. 154.2 million increase in revenues from fixed and variable leases, explained in turn by: (i) a 28.3% increase in our lessees’ total sales, which rose from Ps. 7,766.3 million during the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2011 to Ps. 9,966 million in the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2012 and (ii) an increase in the average price per square meter.

Hotel Operations
 
The revenues from our Hotel Operations segment decreased by 11.9% from Ps. 192.9 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 170.0 million for fiscal year 2012, mainly owing to the fact that our Llao Llao Hotel suffered the consequences of the eruption of the Chilean volcano which prevented tourists from visiting the City of Bariloche for as long as the airport was closed. In fiscal year 2012, the hotel occupation rate has begun to recover and reached about 21.5%, and the prices were also adjusted downwards in order to attract tourists in spite of the climate conditions caused by the volcano. On the other hand, our hotels in Buenos Aires have offset in part the decrease in the business volume of Llao Llao Hotel, reaching occupation rates of 80% and charging higher prices.

Consumer Financing
 
The revenues from our Consumer Financing segment declined by 92.9%, from Ps. 68.6 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 4.8 million for fiscal year 2012 as a result of the sale of Tarshop S.A.’s 80% interest (deconsolidation of its income as from September 1, 2010).

Annual Report
 
Costs

Our consolidated costs, as a percentage of our consolidated income, decreased from 41.7%, for fiscal year 2011 to 35.1%, for fiscal year 2012.

Development and sale of properties
 
This segments’ costs often exhibit major variations between periods by reason of (i) the non-recurrent nature of real estate purchase and sale transactions and the price obtained from them, (ii) the quantity of construction works in progress and (iii) the date of completion of these construction works projects. The costs associated to our Development and sale of properties segment decreased by 11.0%, from Ps. 244.8 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 217.8 million for fiscal year 2012.
 
The costs incurred by our Development and sale of properties segment for fiscal year 2011 primarily included:

·  
Ps. 24.0 million as costs related to the sale of the property known as Museo Renault; and

Office and other non-shopping center rental properties
 
Depreciation accounts for the largest portion of this segments’ costs. The costs of our Office and other non-shopping center rental properties segment grew by 2.4%, from Ps. 32.6 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 33.3 million for fiscal year 2012, mainly owing to an increase in the maintenance expenses of properties for rent and increased depreciation costs of Dot Baires’ offices and the San Martín property, both of them recently added to the office portfolio.
 
The costs associated to our Office and other non-shopping center rental properties segment as a percentage of this segments’ revenues decreased from 19.8% for fiscal year 2011 to 17.3% for fiscal year 2012.
 
Shopping centers
 
The costs of our Shopping centers segment decreased by 0.5% from Ps. 181.5 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 180.6 million for fiscal year 2012. Such decrease was mainly attributable to: (i) a reduction in costs related to non-recovered common maintenance expenses by Ps. 12.2 million; (ii) lower lawsuit-related contingency charges of Ps. 1.8 million; (iii) lower claim and legal costs charges of Ps. 1.0 million; (iv) a decrease in the cost of available units by Ps. 0.9 million; partially offset by (v) an increase by Ps. 4.5 million in parking costs; (vi) an increase in maintenance and repair costs by Ps. 1.7 million and (vii) an increase in depreciation and amortization by Ps. 1.3 million.

The costs associated to our Shopping centers segment as a percentage of this segments’ revenues declined from 26.9% for fiscal year 2011 to 20.7% for fiscal year 2012.

Hotel Operations
 
The costs of our Hotel operations segment decreased by 2.1%, from Ps. 119.5 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 117.0 million for fiscal year 2012, mainly by reason of a Ps. 2.4 million rise in tax benefits pursuant to Decree No. 814, mainly explained by an increase in such benefit.

Consumer Financing
 
The costs of our Consumer Financing segment shrank by 92.9%, from Ps. 22.5 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 1.6 million for fiscal year 2012. Such decrease is primarily due to the sale of Tarshop S.A.’s 80% interest (deconsolidation of its income as from September 1, 2010).

As a result of the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, gross profit increased by 20.9%, from Ps. 841.2 million for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 1,016.9 million for fiscal year 2012, primarily on account of an increase in the gross profit of our Shopping Centers, Office and other non-shopping center rental properties, and Development and sale of properties segments, partially offset by a decline in the gross profit posted by our Consumer Financing and Hotel operations segments. When measured as a percentage of our revenues, gross profit increased from 58.3% for fiscal year 2011 to 64.9% for fiscal year 2012.

a Ps. 106.7 million loss for foreign exchange differences, both in fiscal year 2012 and compared to the previous fiscal year due to a greater variation in the US Dollar offer rate throughout fiscal year 2012 (it rose from Ps. 4.110 at June 30, 2011 to Ps. 4.527 at June 30, 2012), in contrast to the situation a year earlier when the US$/Ps. exchange rate had slightly varied (up from Ps. 3.931 at June 30, 2010 to Ps. 4.110 at June 30, 2011).

Gain on equity investees
 
Gain on equity investees declined by Ps. 21.7 million, from Ps. 138.4 million income for fiscal year 2011 to Ps. 116.8 million income for fiscal year 2012.

On July 19, 2002, APSA issued US$ 50.0 million in unsecured Convertible Notes in exchange for cash and the settlement of certain liabilities owed to its shareholders. The proceeds received by APSA were used to repay short term bank loans for Ps. 27.3 million and to redeem secured notes issued by APSA for Ps. 52.8 million. The notes accrue interest (payable semi-annually) at a 10.0% fixed interest rate per annum and are convertible at any time at the holder’s option into shares of common stock of Ps. 0.10 par value each. The conversion rate per U.S. dollar is the lower between (i) Ps. 3.08642 and (ii) the result from dividing the exchange rate prevailing on the conversion date by APSA’s common shares’ par value. The convertible notes’ original maturity date was July 19, 2006, but the noteholders’ meeting held on May 2, 2006 extended the initial maturity date to July 19, 2014. The rest of the terms and conditions remained unaltered. During fiscal years 2011, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003, holders of US$ 18.3 million convertible notes of APSA exercised their conversion rights. Consequently, APSA issued 477,544,197; 101,582; 1,539,000; 52,741,373; 22,852,514; and 4,829,745 common shares, respectively. On September 22, 2011, APSA reported that one holder of convertible Notes exercised its conversion right, and 277,777 common shares of Ps. 0.1 par value each were issued, and thus Notes for a principal amount of US$ 9,000 were canceled. Following such conversion, the total number of shares increased from 1,259,608,411 to 1,259,886,188. If all the holders of Convertible Notes exercised their conversion rights, APSA’s total amount of outstanding shares would increase from 1,259.9 million to 2,239.7 million.

16. CORPORATE SERVICE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO WITH CRESUD S.A.C.I.F. Y A. AND APSA
 
 
In view of the fact that our Company, CRESUD and APSA have developed operating areas with certain similarities, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to implement alternative initiatives aimed at reducing certain fixed costs in its activities in order to reduce their impact on operating results, thereby taking advantage of and optimizing individual efficiencies of each company in the different areas of operations management.
 
Accordingly, on June 30, 2004, the Company entered into a “Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services” (the “Agreement”) with Cresud and APSA, which was subsequently amended on August 23, 2007, August 14, 2008, November 27, 2009 and July 11, 2011.
 
The Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services executed by and between us, CRESUD and APSA currently applies to the following areas in the exchange of services: Human Resources, Finance, Institutional Relations, Administration and Control, Systems and Technology, Insurance, Messenger Services, Contracts, Audit and Control, Technical, Infrastructure and Services, Purchases, Architecture and Design, Development and Works, Real Estate, Hotels and Tourism, Assistance to Board of Directors and Safety.
 
The exchange of services consists in the provision of services for value in relation to any of the above mentioned areas, carried out by one or more of the parties to the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services on behalf of the other party or parties, invoiced and payable primarily through offsetting based on the provision of services in any such areas, and secondarily in cash, in case of a difference in value of the services provided. Under such agreement, the companies hired an external consulting company to review and evaluate on a six-month basis the criteria used in the settlement of corporate services, as well as the bases of distribution and supporting documentation used in the process, to be reflected in a report prepared and delivered for each six-month period.
 
On March 12, 2010 we entered into a new amendment to the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services with CRESUD and APSA so as to simplify the issues arising from the consolidation of the financial statements resulting from the increase of Cresud’s investment in our Company. In this regard, our Board of Directors deemed it convenient and advisable for achieving such simplification, to unify in Cresud a part of the operations by transferring to it our and APSA’s employment agreements. Effective since January 1, 2010, labor costs of such employees were transferred to Cresud’s payroll, which will continue to be distributed with us and APSA pursuant to the conditions of the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services.
 
In the future, and in order to follow the policy of making the most efficient distribution of corporate resources among the different areas, the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services may be extended or amended in respect of other areas shared by the Company with Cresud and APSA.
 
It should be noted that, notwithstanding this procedure, the Company, Cresud and APSA maintain total discretionary independence in their strategic and commercial decisions, and confidentiality, and that the allocation of costs and income is performed based on operating efficiency and equity principles, without pursuing individual economic benefits for each company. The implementation of this project has not impaired the identification of the economic transactions or services involved, or the effectiveness of internal control systems or internal and external audit work of each company, or the disclosure of the transactions subject to the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services in accordance with Technical Resolution No. 21 of the FACPCE. Furthermore, Mr. Alejandro Gustavo Elsztain has been appointed to the position of General Coordinator, whereas Cedric Bridger has been charged with the operation and implementation of the agreement on behalf of our Company, Daniel E. Mellincovsky shall represent Cresud and Abraham Perelman shall represent APSA. All these individuals are members of the Audit Committees of their respective companies.

Annual Report
Internal Control
 
Management uses the Integrated Framework-Internal Control issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Report”) to assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
 
The COSO Report sets forth that internal control is a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the entity’s objectives in the following categories:
 
·  
Effectiveness and efficiency of operations
 
·  
Reliability of financial reporting, and
 
·  
Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
 
Based on the above, the company’s internal control system involves all the levels of the company actively involved in exercising control:
 
·  
the board of directors, by establishing the objectives, principles and values, setting the tone at the top and making the overall assessment of results;
 
·  
the management of each area is responsible for the internal control in relation to objectives and activities of the relevant area, i.e. the implementation of policies and procedures to achieve the results of the areas and, therefore, those of the entity as a whole;
 
·  
the other personnel play a role in exercising control, by generating information used in the control system or taking action to ensure control.

Compensation
 
Directors
 
Under the Argentine Business Corporations Law (Law No. 19,550), if the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee is not established in the by-laws of the Company, it should be determined by the shareholders’ meeting. The maximum amount of total compensation to the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee, including compensation for technical or administrative permanent activities, cannot exceed 25% of the earnings of the company. That amount should be limited to 5% when there is no distribution of dividends to shareholders and will be increased in proportion to the distribution up to such limit if all earnings are distributed. For purposes of applying this provision, the reduction in the distribution of dividends derived from reducing the Board of Directors’ and Supervisory Committee’s fees will not be considered.
 
When one or more directors perform special commissions or technical or administrative activities, and there are no earnings to distribute, or they are reduced, the shareholders meeting may approve compensation in excess of the above mentioned limits. The compensation of our directors for each fiscal year is determined pursuant to the Argentine Business Corporations Law and taking into consideration whether the directors performed technical or administrative activities and our fiscal year’s results. Once the amounts are determined, they are considered at the shareholders’ meeting.
 
In the course of our shareholders’ meeting held on October 31, 2011, the shareholders approved total compensation in the amount of Ps. 23.4 million for all our directors for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2011. At the end of this fiscal year, these amounts had been totally paid.
 
Senior Management
 
We pay our senior management pursuant to a fixed amount, established by taking into consideration their background, capacity and experience and an annual bonus which varies according to their individual performance and our overall results. The total and aggregate compensation paid to our Senior Management for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was Ps. 13.2 million.

Supervisory Committee
 
The shareholders meeting held on October 31, 2011, approved by majority vote the decision not to pay any compensation to our Supervisory Committee.
 
Audit Committee
 
The members of our Audit Committee do not receive compensation in addition to that received for their service as members of our board of directors.
 
Compensation plan for executive management
 
During this fiscal year, we are developing a special compensation plan for key managers by means of contributions to be made by the employees and by the Company.
 
Such Plan is directed to key managers selected by us and aims to retain them by increasing their total compensation package through an extraordinary reward, granted to those who have met certain conditions.
 
Participation and contributions under the Plan are voluntary. Once the invitation to participate has been accepted by the employee, he or she may make two kinds of contributions: monthly contributions (salary based) and extraordinary contribution (annual bonus based). The suggested contribution to be made by Participants is: up to 2.5% of their monthly salary and up to 7.5% of their annual bonus. Our contribution will be 200% of the employees’ monthly contributions and 300% of the extraordinary employees’ contributions.
 
The funds collected as a result of the Participants’ contributions are transferred to a special independent vehicle created in Argentina as an Investment Fund approved by Comisión Nacional de Valores. Such funds are freely redeemable upon request of the Participants.
 
The funds collected as a result of our contributions are transferred to another independent vehicle separate from the previous one. In the future, participants will have access to 100% of the benefits of the Plan (that is, including our contributions made on the participants’ behalf to the specially created vehicle) under the following circumstances:
 
· ordinary retirement in accordance with applicable labor regulations;
· total or permanent incapacity or disability; and
· death.
 
In case of resignation or termination without cause, the Participant may redeem amounts contributed by us only if he or she has participated in the Plan for at least 5 years subject to certain conditions.

Annual Report
Long-term Incentive Program
 
The Company has developed a long term incentive and retention stock program for its management team and key employees under which contributions are made by both the program participants and the Company. At its sole discretion, the Company plans to repeat the plan for an additional fiscal year (2012-2013) under the same or other conditions, with the possibility of providing an extraordinary reward consisting of freely available shares payable on a single opportunity in September 2014.
 
The beneficiaries under the Plan are invited to participate by the Board of Directors and their decision to access the Plan is voluntary. Once an officer agrees to participate, he or she may make a single annual contribution (based on their annual bonus). The suggested contribution is up to 7.5% of their bonus, and in the first year the contribution made by the Company is ten times the amount of the employee’s contribution. The contributions and/or shares of the Company that are purchased with these funds will be transferred to special purpose vehicles.
 
The contributions for the next fiscal years will be defined after the closing of each fiscal year.
 
In the future, the Participants or their successors in interest will have access to 100% of the benefit (the Company’s contributions made in their name) in the following cases:

·  
if an employee resigns or is dismissed for no cause, he or she will be entitled to the benefit only if 5 years have elapsed from the moment of each contribution
·  
retirement
·  
total or permanent disability
·  
death

 
Code of Ethics
 
The Code of Ethics is effective as from July 31, 2005 with the aim of providing a wide range of guidelines as concerns accepted individual and corporate behavior. It is applicable to directors, managers and employees of the Company and its controlled companies. The Code of Ethics that governs our business, in compliance with the laws of the countries where we operate, may be found on our website www.irsa.com.ar.
 
A Committee of Ethics composed of three Board members is responsible for providing solutions to issues related to the Code of Ethics and is in charge of taking disciplinary measures in case of breach of the Code.

Annual Report
 
Dividends and Dividend Policy
 
Pursuant to Argentine law, the distribution and payment of dividends to shareholders is allowed only if they result from realized and net earnings of the company pursuant to annual financial statements approved by our shareholders. The approval, amount and payment of dividends are subject to the approval by our shareholders at our annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting. The approval of dividends requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
In accordance with Argentine corporate laws and our by-laws, net and realized profits for each fiscal year are required to be allocated as follows:
 
·  
5% of such net profits should be allocated to our legal reserve, until such reserve amounts to 20% of our capital stock;
·  
a certain amount determined at a shareholders’ meeting is allocated to compensation of our directors and the members of our Supervisory Committee;
·  
additional amounts may be allocated for the payment of optional reserve funds, to establish contingency reserves, to a new account or for whatever other purpose our shareholders may determine.
 
According to rules issued by Comisión Nacional de Valores, cash dividends must be paid to shareholders within 30 days of the resolution approving their distribution. In the case of stock dividends, the shares must be delivered to shareholders within three months of the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting that approved them.
 
On February 2, 2007 we issued our 2017 fixed-rate notes for a total amount of US$ 150.0 million at an annual interest rate of 8.5% payable semi-annually and due on February 2, 2017. These notes limit our ability to pay dividends, which may not exceed the sum of:
 
·  
50% of our cumulative consolidated net income; or
·  
75% of our cumulative consolidated net income if the consolidated interest coverage ratio is at least 3.0 to 1; or
·  
100% of our cumulative consolidated net income if the consolidated interest coverage ratio is at least 4.0 to 1.
·  
100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds (with certain exceptions) and the fair market value of property other than cash received by the Company or by its restricted subsidiaries from (a) any contribution to the Company’s capital stock or the capital stock of its restricted subsidiaries or issuance and sale of the Company’s qualified capital stock or the qualified capital stock of its restricted subsidiaries subsequent to the issue of the Company’s notes due 2017, or (b) issuance and sale subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s notes due 2017 or its indebtedness or the indebtedness of its restricted subsidiaries that has been converted into or exchanged for qualified capital stock of the Company, (c) any kind of reduction in the Company’s indebtedness or the indebtedness of any of its restricted subsidiaries; or (d) any kind of reduction in investments in debt certificates (other than permitted investments) and in the return on assets; or (e) any distribution received from an unrestricted subsidiary.
 
Our dividend policy consists in the distribution of an amount not to exceed the higher of a) twenty percent (20%) of the Sales, leases and services of “Offices and other Non-Shopping Center Rental Properties” segment, defined in Segment information, as of June 30 of each year, or b) twenty percent (20%) of Net income defined in the Consolidated Statements of Income as of June 30 of each year. This policy requires that we must at all times comply with the covenants imposed by our financial obligations.

19. PROSPECTS FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR
 
In 2012, the Company achieved highly satisfactory results in all its segments and consolidated its lines of business even further. The combination of real estate assets in Argentina and offshore diversification through its investments in the United States place it in a favorable position to face next fiscal year 2013.

As concerns the Shopping Center segment, we expect to continue growing by rolling out new developments and redistributing leaseable areas in our current shopping centers. These improvements will allow us to take best advantage of their GLA potential and to furnish them with increased functionality and appeal for the benefit of consumers and retailers alike. In this respect, in the next fiscal year we expect to make further progress in the restyling works of Soleil Shopping Center and build 6 additional cinema screens, which will attract more public and sales, optimizing this shopping center’s performance.

We plan to make progress in the development of our “Arcos” project located in the district of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires. This project, started to be built in December 2011, will follow a urban model, offering a variety of premium brands in an open-air environment. We expect to open it in September 2013, adding approximately 13,000 square meters of GLA and 70 stores to APSA’s portfolio, and featuring its fourteenth shopping center. We hope that this new proposal, which also introduces a cultural space in the retail concept, will achieve the success of our latest developments.

On the other hand, we continue working on the first stage of development of a new shopping center in the City of Neuquén. We hope to have suitable business, financial and governmental conditions for speeding up progress in this development during the next fiscal year.

Regarding the Offices for Rental business, we will continue working towards consolidating the best premium portfolio in the City of Buenos Aires. Thus, we expect to continue our sales of non-strategic portfolio assets for attractive prices, and we are evaluating the development of a building in Catalinas on a plot of land that the Company acquired in December 2009. Moreover, we will strive to achieve maximum occupancy in our buildings and the best possible lease agreements, trying to attract new firms whishing to relocate in the spaces we offer.

We hope that in 2013 the Llao Llao hotel becomes again a premier tourist destination and recovers its usual income and occupancy levels. We trust that it will be so, as in January 2012 the City of Bariloche resumed airport activities and the winter season started with outstanding results.
 
Regarding the Development and sale of properties segment, we expect to continue selling non-strategic assets and small land reserves and make progress with the sales of the units received following barter agreements in the residential projects Caballito Nuevo, Torres Rosario and El Encuentro.

Finally, as concerns opportunities outside Argentina, we will continue our efforts towards optimizing the operation of the Lipstick Building and the building at 183 Madison Avenue. We expect these assets to continue improving their operating results during the next fiscal year. Also we aim to continue looking for selective investments that serve as hedge against future inflation and which involve high quality assets with attractive prices or capital structures with potential for improvement.

Given the quality of the real estate assets in our portfolio, the Company’s financial position and low indebtedness level, its experience in taking advantage of market opportunities and its credentials in the capital markets, we believe that we are on the right way to continue increasing our property holdings and consolidating the best real estate portfolio of Argentina.

20. Corporate Governance Report

General Resolution CNV 606/2012 of the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV)
 
Following the guidelines set by Decree No. 677/01, which established the Regime of Transparency in Public Offerings, the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) has issued General Resolution No. 606/2012 for enforcing good corporate governance practices and providing a legal framework rooted in its former General Resolution No. 516/07, which is amended and replaced by General Resolution No. 606/2012.

The purpose of General Resolution 606/2012 is to protect the interests of investors, creditors and the public in general and prevent the information available to investors from being inconsistent with the required transparency standards relating to internal and external corporate controls and in particular the disclosure of information that should be known by the market and its players.

In its capacity as control agency, the CNV believes, based on national and international evidence, that good corporate governance practices will mitigate the occurrence of conflicts of interest and will positively impact on the companies’ performance and their valuation in the market.

Moreover, the CNV understands that having in place a Corporate Governance Code provides an instrument for review by potential investors and reduces such entities’ financing costs. It is structured on the basis of principles and recommendations or minimum good practices, that provide general concepts which frame and incarnate every good corporate governance system, and the recommendations contained in Resolution 606/2012 offer an adequate framework for issuers to apply those principles within their companies, which should be enforced and updated on an annual and quarterly basis.

As concerns its initial effective date, its provisions should be observed on an annual basis by issuer companies with fiscal years starting as from January 1, 2012.

These companies are:

1) publicly traded companies;

2) companies that apply for authorization to offer their securities to the public.

a) On an annual basis, the companies shall:

Forward, in addition to the documents required under the applicable laws, together with the Annual Report on the company’s performance for the fiscal year, and in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 66 of Law No. 19,550, a separate exhibit containing a report on the degree of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code.

In such filing, the Board of Directors shall:

(i) report whether it observes all the principles and recommendations included in the Corporate Governance Code, and how it does so; or

(ii) explain the reasons why it observes only in part or fails to observe such principles and recommendations and report whether in the future the Issuer plans to include those aspects which are not currently adopted.

b) Every three months:

In addition to the requirements set forth in the applicable laws, Issuers shall submit their interim financial statements prepared in accordance with sections 62 to 65 of Law No. 19,550 and, as concerns their preparation, in compliance with the provisions contained in Exhibit I to Decree 606/12. If a company prepares its financial statements applying International Financial Reporting Standards, it may present its interim financial statements in condensed form, as set forth in International Accounting Standard No. 34.

In addition, it provides that the Supervisory and/or Surveillance Committee shall have responsibility for verifying the truthfulness of the information supplied as concerns the degree of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code, and it establishes that its assessment must be reflected in its fiscal year-end report.

At present, the Company is actively working on adapting its internal regulations to the contents included in CNV’s Resolution 606/2012.

This notwithstanding, already on September 8, 2010, our Board of Directors approved the report prescribed by the Code, which constitutes an integral part of these financial statements and whose material contents are transcribed below:
 
 
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Annual Report
 
SCOPE OF APPLICATION

1.) Relationship between the Issuer and the Conglomerate. The Board must thoroughly report any policies applicable to the relationship between the issuer and the conglomerate as such and its integral parts, if any.
In particular, the Board must report the transactions with affiliates and related companies and, in general, those that might be relevant to determine the degree of effectiveness and compliance with the loyalty, diligence and independence duties. Furthermore, the Board must report the transactions conducted with shareholders and management.

In connection with related companies, it is Company policy to enter into transactions in arm’s length conditions.

The transactions with related parties are, as prescribed by the law, subject to the Audit Committee’s opinion. The Audit Committee analyzes the reasonableness of transactions in the terms of Executive Decree No. 677/01 and issues reports in this respect.
In the event of the Company conducting transactions with its shareholders or management, it shall abide by and apply the provisions under Law No. 19,550, section 271.

2) Inclusion of Corporate Governance matters in the Company’s By-laws. The Board must assess whether its Corporate Governance Code provisions are to be reflected, in whole or in part, in the Company’s by-laws, including the Board’s specific and general duties.
The Board must make sure that the Company’s By-laws should lay down rules to compel directors to disclose any personal interests related to the decisions submitted to Board consideration in order to avoid conflicts of interest.
 
The Board of Directors considers that some of the provisions referred to in the Corporate Governance Code (hereinafter, the “Code”) are already included in the Company’s by-laws and in other cases they are already within the scope of Argentina’s currently applicable corporate law legislation.
However, the Board understands that other Code provisions should not be included in the current wording of the By-laws because if they were changed and/or fine-tuned in the future, the need would arise for amending the By-laws accordingly and this would be burdensome and costly. It is thus the Board’s understanding that the configuration of the new Code as a body separate from the By-laws would help to its enforcement and contribute to a more agile review and adaptation of provisions, as necessary, based on whether the law mandates such inclusion or whether conduct of business calls for it.

As regards the Directors’ duty to avoid conflicts of interest, the Board has considered that its actions are aligned to the Argentine Companies Law, Sections 272 and 273, and specifically to the provisions concerning this matter and that the Company’s Code of Ethics (hereinafter “Ethics”) deals specifically with this matter. Additionally, the Company’s transactions are underpinned by counterparty analyses, including suppliers, in order to identify potential related parties and thus prevent conflicting interests.

ABOUT THE BOARD IN GENERAL
3) The Board is responsible for the Company’s Strategy. The Board of Directors is in charge of managing the Company and approving the general policies and strategies appropriate to the different phases in the Company’s life cycles and in particular:
a) The strategic and/or business plan, as well as management objectives and annual budgets;
b) Investment and funding policies;
c) Corporate Governance policies;
d) Enterprise Social Responsibility policies;
e) Risk control and management policies as well as any other policy aimed at a regular follow-up on the Company’s internal reporting and control systems; and
f) The implementation of continuous education programs targeted at directors and management executives.
 
Being an essential part, and the raison d'être, of its management actions, the strategic and business plan for the Company is laid down by the Board. The Board also lays down and sets, together with the appropriate departments, management objectives and the annual budget.

In harmony with the preceding sub-paragraph, the Board considers, on an annual basis, the Company’s planned investments and the appropriate financing requirements.

The Company has in place Corporate Governance policies (in accordance with the Argentine Executive Decree No. 677/01 and/or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) and the Board has approved the report on the Corporate Governance Code.

The Company has in place policies in this respect, such as those implemented through donation to non-profits as would be the case of the donations channeled through the IRSA foundation. The Company also has in place policies to recycle paper and other reusable materials such as plastics and disposable packaging.

The Company enforces the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act as concerns business controls, corporate level controls and general controls through information technology. In this respect, the Board is permanently updated of the company’s management control policies. The same holds true in connection with internal reporting and control systems, which are deployed by the IT, Organization and Methods and Internal Audit departments, responsible in turn for keeping the Board abreast of new developments.

There are continuous education programs for management executives, as discussed in further detail in paragraph 11).-

4) Management Control. The Board is duty-bound to verify that the above-mentioned strategies and policies are implemented, that the budget and the operations plan are met and to control management performance, i.e., to make sure that management meets the objectives laid down, including expected profits, in furtherance of the Company’s corporate interest.
 
The Company has in place a management control system pursuant to which each department is responsible for administering its budget and for seeing to it that it is duly executed; mandatory signature authority levels are assigned based on transaction amounts, etc. This control system is permanently monitored by the Internal Audit Department.

On a quarterly basis, the Board assesses the degree of compliance with the annual budget, analyzes the potential causes of any deviations from budget and recommends to management any necessary corrective measures in furtherance of the Company’s corporate interest in order to align them with each matter’s best practices.

5) Reporting and Internal Control. Risk Management. The Board must report on whether it relies on risk control and management policies, stating also whether these are permanently updated in line with the applicable best practices and also on whether it relies on other policies which, in the same nature, are aimed at a periodical follow-up on the Company’s internal information and control systems.
 
The Company enforces these policies.
In this respect, there are internal committees, such as IT Security and Risks, that are permanently updating their activities in line with the best practices criteria.

6) Audit Committee. The Board of Directors must state whether the Audit Committee members are nominated by any of its members or only by its Chairman.
 
The Company has had an Audit Committee in place which has had an active role since the year that audit committees became a legal requirement. At present, the Company’s Audit Committee is made up by three independent members as prescribed by the applicable legal provisions.
The members of the Audit Committee are nominated by the Board in its entirety, in line with the provisions under Executive Decree No. 677/01 and they are chosen by a unanimous vote.

7) Number of Board Members. The Board of Directors is made up by the directors appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting, or, if applicable, by the Supervisory Committee, in accordance with the requirements laid down in the Company’s By-laws.
The Board of Directors must determine, on a case-by-case basis, in harmony with the size of the issuer and abiding by the decision-making procedure, if its numerical composition is adequate so that, should the need arise, a well-grounded proposal should be submitted to the Shareholders’ Meeting to request a change in the Board’s numerical composition.
The numerical composition of the Board must include a sufficient number of independent directors. The Board must create a sufficient number of committees to carry out its mission effectively and efficiently.

As provided by the Argentine Companies Law, the Board of Directors is appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
As a matter of principle, the Board is made up by reliable prominent individuals of integrity, reputation and demonstrated ethics. Besides, they must be free from conflicts of interest and have enough time available to discharge their functions, which must be performed in full observance of the Company’s values; they should have demonstrated skills in the matters concerning their missions, master the best practices in corporate governance, be seasoned in legal entities management and possess a full understanding of the role to be played by a publicly traded company.
It is the Board’s understanding that in the light of the current circumstances and the size of the issuer, the number of directors laid down in the Company’s by-laws is fit and sufficient for the Company to conduct business guided by its management objectives for the fiscal year.
Besides, the Company has established several committees to focus closely on various aspects which require specific attention in light of corporate management.

8) Board Membership. The Board of Directors must determine whether the enforcement of a policy geared towards the involvement of former executives in management is in the Company’s best interest and make any relevant recommendations.

The Board understands that for the time being there is no need to establish an express policy to permit former executives to participate in management. However, it does not rule it out either in so far as these executives’ knowledge of the Company and their experience add a plus to their qualifications as directors, which are estimated to contribute to more efficient management.

9) Multiple Directorships. The Board must examine the advisability of directors and/or statutory auditors serving as such on a limited number of entities or the relevance of this aspect and make any recommendations it may see fit.
 
The Board finds it advisable for its members and statutory auditors to serve on the board of other companies making up the same conglomerate/group of companies as it helps to add synergies, reduce operating costs and ensure harmonious operation in the various companies, on top of the advantages this lends to management activities themselves.

10) Board Performance Assessment. The Board of Directors must, before holding the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting called to consider and adopt resolutions concerning the matters detailed in the Argentine Companies Law section 234, sub-sections 1 and 2, evaluate its own performance. To that end, the Board must prepare, in writing, a guide for assessing and laying down the criteria necessary to measure its performance.
 
As mandated by the Argentine Companies Law, the Board submits its own actions to the consideration by the Shareholders’ Meeting. The Company drafts an annual report that is made available to the shareholders, corporate governance bodies and regulators, in advance as prescribed by the applicable statutory terms and along the lines established by current rules and regulations, prior to the date set for the shareholders’ meeting.
The Board of Directors considers that such time is sufficient for those concerned to duly weigh the information.

11) Director Training and Development. The Board must establish a continuous education program for its members and management executives in order to maintain and refresh their knowledge and skills and to boost Board efficacy overall.
 
The Company encourages its Board and senior management to take part in training and professional update activities. In the Board’s opinion, it is vital to improved business management that the Company’s officers should be permanently trained and take part in local and international congresses and events in their respective fields of expertise.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE CRITERIA
12) Independent Directors. The Board of Directors must determine if the party that nominates a director is duty-bound to outwardly express, for public disclosure, sufficient evidence in support of his/her independence and make any relevant recommendations.

When it comes to director independence criteria, independent director nominations are accompanied by the reasons and sufficient expression of their condition as independent, as it arises from the minutes, which are widely disclosed through publication in the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) Financial Information Highway and in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

13) Appointment of Management Executives. The Board of Directors must determine, in connection with the selection, nomination and/or appointment of management executives if it is advisable to outwardly express the reasons underpinning the nomination and to disclose them to the public at large.
 
It is the Board’s opinion that there is no need, for the time being, to publicly disclose the reasons why management executives are appointed. This notwithstanding, and on account of the company being listed not only on the local securities exchange but also on other international securities markets, as has already been indicated, this recommendation is deemed to have been fully heeded.

14) Proportion of Independent Directors. The Board of Directors must outwardly express –and, if applicable, provide a description- whether it has in place a policy to maintain a proportion of independent directors on the total number of directors. There is also the duty to publicly disclose the proportion of executive directors, of non executive directors and of independent directors and to state the status of each Board member in this respect.

The proportion of independent directors in the Company’s board of directors is adequate as per the Argentine Securities Commission and the SEC requirements.
 
When it comes to the classification of directors as executive and non-executive, the Board understands that there is no need to implement those statuses for the time being.
The above notwithstanding, investors may rely on the so-called “20F” form, which contains an in-depth, personalized description by function of each one of the directors as well as the roster of the Executive Committee’s members.

15) Independent Directors’ Meetings. The Board must determine the suitability of holding Independent Directors-only meetings. When the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, the independent directors must appoint a lead independent director to coordinate its committees operations, prepare Board meeting agendas and hold specific independent directors’ meetings.

At the date of this report, the Chairman of the Board is a non-Independent Director and the Board’s independent directors share in the mission to safeguard observance of the Company’s agenda together with the Board’s chair and the remaining Board members.
Given that the Audit Committee is entirely made up by independent directors and that it sessions at regular intervals, we consider that any minimum requirements in this respect have been met.

RELATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

16) Information to Shareholders. The Board must report whether it encourages periodical informational meetings with shareholders other than shareholders’ meetings.

The Board of Directors maintains its shareholders informed through various means, mostly, electronic. Thus, for instance, meeting attendance by remote communication equipment allows the Company to provide details and/or further explanation to foreign shareholders at the time of releasing its quarterly and annual financials.
The Company also has a web-site where it posts updated information. Ever since 2003 the Company has been publishing in its web-site annual reports on financial statements and special quarterly earnings reports with a focus on those matters that can be of special interest to shareholders and investors.
In addition, the Company arranges presentations to the market and road shows concerning debt instrument issuances to respond to shareholders and investors’ enquiries.

17) Response to shareholders’ concerns and enquiries. The Board of Directors must specify whether the Company relies on a specific office for dealing with shareholders’ concerns and enquiries, except for those that may affect the Company’s future strategy or plans.
If any such arrangements were in place, the Board is to report on its duty to produce periodical reports on the matters consulted to be subsequently disclosed to shareholders, corporate governance bodies and regulators.
 
The Company has appointed an officer in charge of shareholders’ concerns and enquiries. The job title is Investors Relations Officer and has been appointed from amongst the staff of the Corporate Finance Department.
The Board analyzes the advisability and suitability of preparing general periodical reports to post in its website which could be of general interest to its shareholders in view of the concerns and enquiries voiced by investors, and always exercising care so that the Company’s strategic position is not adversely affected.

18) Minority Shareholder Presence at Shareholders’ Meetings. The Board of Directors is to render a well-grounded opinion as to the advisability of taking particular action to foster minority shareholder attendance at shareholders’ meetings.

The Company complies in full with the Argentine Companies Law and with the regulations laid down by local regulators (CNV) and the US regulators (SEC): such rules and regulations provide for multiple mechanisms for minority shareholder attendance at shareholders’ meetings. Their attendance at shareholders’ meetings is strictly accounted for and they exercise their rights to vote and to voice their opinions.
Additionally, as soon as the shareholders’ meetings are called, the Company performs a survey and a control of its minority and institutional shareholders, through Caja de Valores S.A. (shares) and Bank of New York Mellon (ADRs), proactively encouraging them to timely obtain any certification they may need to attend general and/or special shareholders’ meetings in due time.

19) The market for Tender Offers. The Board of Directors must analyze, based on the interests of minority shareholders, the advisability of resorting to the market for tender offers. If so, it must recommend specific measures to be adopted by the Company to foster the formation of such mechanism.
In particular, the Board is to primarily furnish grounds for its decision to adhere or not to the mandatory public tender offer regime (tag-along provisions).
 
Even though the Company resorted to tender offers in the past, in instances known by the controlling authorities, in the light of the conditions prevailing in the market and to safeguard the interests of shareholders, the Board of Directors does not think it advisable that tag-along provisions and/or a market for tender offers should be in place.
Pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Company’s shareholders’ meeting, the Company does not adhere to the mandatory public tender offer regime. The Board does not deem it necessary to recommend changes in this respect for the time being.

20) Dividend Policy. The Board of Directors must assess, in accordance with the Company’s particular conditions, the suitability of establishing policies for payment of cash dividends and must explain the conclusions reached and the reasons
for such conclusions. If applicable, it must describe the mechanism applied to propose to the Shareholders’ Meeting whether or not to pay dividends.
 
The Company is subject to certain restrictions on the payment of dividends derived from certain financial covenants, as it is known by the market. Our dividend policy consists in distributing ratably among the shareholders the higher of: a) 20% of sales, rental payments and services from the “Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties” segment as reflected in the Segment Information of the Statement of Income (Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) as of June 30 of each year; or b) 20% of the net income as reflected in the Consolidated Income Statement as of June 30 of each year. This policy reflects the Company’s compliance with its financial obligations as in effect from time to time.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS

21) Internet Communications. The Board of Directors must report whether the Company has its own, freely accessible web-site, where it posts information that is updated, easy to understand, sufficient and differentiated by target audience and whereby the Company provides information and responds to user concerns.

The Company has its own web-site http://www.irsa.com.ar/ to receive users’ inquiries, complaints and reports.

22) Web-site requirements. Should the Company rely on a web-site, the Company must guarantee that the information transmitted through electronic media should meet the highest confidentiality and integrity standards whilst simultaneously preserving information and maintaining any requisite logs.

The Company guarantees that the information posted in the web-site meets the standards that are customary in these types of web-sites.

COMMITTEES

23) Committee to be chaired by an Independent Director. The Board of Directors must render an opinion as to the advisability of the Audit Committee being at all times chaired by an independent member.

The Board of Directors has decided as from the creation of its Audit Committee that it must be chaired by an independent director.

24) Rotation of Statutory Auditors and External Auditors. The Board of Directors must analyze the advisability of the Company having in place specific policies concerning rotation in Supervisory Committee membership and/or rotation of External Auditors; and in connection with the latter, whether the rotation includes the external audit firm or only the individuals.
The Audit Committee must assess on an annual basis the skills, independence and performance of the external auditor and of the members of the audit committee.

The Company complies with the rotation requirement mentioned above, which, according to the rules and regulations of the CNV and the standards laid down by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires, is mandatory. The Audit Committee assesses on annual basis the performance of the External Auditor and of the members of the audit team as per applicable rules and regulations and issues the respective reports to be submitted to the consideration of the Shareholders’ Meetings.

25) Dual capacity as Statutory Auditor and as External Auditor. The Board of Directors must consider if it is advisable that the members of the Supervisory Committee should also discharge functions as external auditors and/or belong to the firm that renders external audit services to the Company.

The Board of Directors considers that such dual capacity is admissible. And that is also the position adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting that is required to consider, on an annual basis, such circumstance upon considering performance for the year and appointments.

26) Compensation Systems. The Board of Directors is to render an express pronouncement on whether it is adequate or not to rely on a Remuneration Committee made up by non-executive directors and entrusted with the mission to establish clear director remuneration policies with special focus on respect for by-laws and/or contractual limitations based on the availability or not of profits.
If created, the Remuneration Committee is responsible for laying down Company policy concerning remuneration and benefits and it is therefore equally responsible for:
a) Reviewing and assessing its internal regulations on an annual basis and submitting any changes to consideration by the Board for its approval.
b) Reporting every year to the Board of Directors the valuation guidelines followed to determine the level of remuneration of the Company’s directors, senior management, advisors and consultants compared to companies sampled as comparable and recommending the amount of the remuneration to be paid to the Company’s directors, senior management, advisors and consultants;
c) Reviewing the competitive position of the Company’s policies and practices in connection with remunerations and benefits and approve any requisite changes;
d) Managing the stock option system;
e) Having a minimum numerical composition of three members;
f) Having a majority of independent directors;
g) Regularly reporting to the Board of Directors on the actions taken and the issues discussed in their meetings;
h) Meeting at least twice a year;
i) Requesting external advice if necessary;
j) Reporting the guidelines for determining the retirement plans of directors and of senior management.
The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee must be available to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting convened to approve Board remuneration in order to explain the Company’s policies.
Each member of the Remuneration Committee must evidence sufficient skills and experience in human resources, compensation policies and risk management.

The Board of Directors deems it adequate not to create a Remuneration Committee for the time being since, given its inherent nature, it establishes the remuneration of its officers in full compliance with the Argentine Companies Law.
In order to foster the continued development of its human capital and to fill vacant job positions with the persons fittest for the position from within the Company’s own ranks or from outside the Company, the Human Resources department has as a priority to train, to foster career advancement and to determine a competitive compensation package in harmony with the market conditions which are periodically monitored.

27) Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee must lay down the standards and procedures inherent in the selection of directors and key executives and must determine the Company’s Corporate Governance policies and oversee their enforcement.
To that end it must:
a) Review and assess every year its internal regulations and propose to the Board any changes necessary for the Board’s approval;
b) Lay down the criteria that will guide the selection of new directors, the CEO and key executives;
c) Design the succession plans for the CEO and for key executives;
d) Identify and recommend the candidates for Board membership to be proposed by the Committee to the Shareholders’ Meeting;
e) Recommend the directors proposed for membership in the various Board committees;
f) Lay down the policies and procedures to assess the performance of the CEO and of the key executives;
g) Recommend and draft the standards and procedures that will guide the Company’s Corporate Governance practices and supervise their enforcement considering that all the aspects herein included must be contemplated;
h) Recommend alternatives for improving the performance of the Board of Directors and its Committees; and
i) Suggest mechanisms for improving relations and communications between the Company and its shareholders.

The Shareholders’ Meeting is responsible for choosing the regular and alternate directors according to current rules and regulations.
In turn, the Board is responsible for performing the functions that are conferred to it pursuant to the rules and regulations in force as detailed in the heading.
As of the date hereof, the Company does not have in place a Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee.

28) Policy of Non-discrimination in Board membership. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is to take all measures necessary so that the appointment of members to the Board should not be impeded on account on any form of discrimination.

The Company abides fully by Argentine rules and regulations that repudiate all types of discrimination.

Additional information about Tarshop S.A.´s sale

On September 13, 2010, APSA sold 80% of Tarshop S.A.. (see Note 22.B.3.).

NOTE 2:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Statements of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1 a., have been prepared on a consistent basis with those applied by the Company, except for those mentioned in Notes 1.5.i and 1.5.o. to the Basic Financial Statements). Note 1 a to the Basic Financial Statements details the most significant accounting policies. Below are the most relevant accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries, which are not included in that note.

In addition to the description in the Basic Financial Statements:

a.  
Revenue recognition

· Revenues from admission rights, leases and services

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 revenues (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross revenues).

Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 12% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is recognized on the accrued criteria.

Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of revenues or based on a percentage of revenues volume above a specified threshold. APSA 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, APSA’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.

a.  
(Continued)

Additionally, APSA charges its tenants a monthly administration fee related 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. The administration fee is prorated among the tenants according to their leases, which varies from shopping center to shopping center. Administration fees are recognized monthly when earned.

In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged “admission rights”, a non-refundable admission fee 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 using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements.

·  
Lease agent operations

Fibesa S.A. ("Fibesa"), company in which APSA has shares of 99.99996%, acts as the leasing agent for APSA bringing together APSA and potential lessees for the retail space available in certain of the APSA’s shopping centers. Fibesa’s revenues are derived primarily from collected commissions calculated as a percentage of the final rental income value, admission rights and from rental of advertising spaces. Revenues are recognized at the time that the transaction is successfully concluded.

·  
Consumer Financing operations

Revenues derived from credit card transactions consist of commissions and financing income, charges to clients for life and disability insurance and for statements of account, among others. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed, while the rest financing income is recognized when accrued. Income generated from granting consumer loans mainly includes financial interests, which are recognized by the accrual method during the fiscal year, irrespective of whether collection has or has not been made (see Note 22.B.11).

(Continued)

·  
Rental of advertising space

Apsamedia S.A., subsidiary of APSA, is a lesser of advertising spaces in the group’s shopping centers. Revenues derived from this activity are recognized using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements.

· Hotel operations

The Company recognizes revenues from its rooms, catering and restaurant facilities of their hotels as accrued on the close of each business day.

 
b.
Investments

·  
Equity investees and other non-current investments

The interests held in entities over which the Company does not exert control, joint control or significant influence have been measured for accounting purposes at cost plus any declared dividends.

Given the sale of 80% of Tarshop S.A.’s shares described in Note 22 B.3., as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, APSA maintains a 20% investment in Tarshop S.A. that is valued by the equity method due to the existence of significant influence by the group of companies on Tarshop S.A.’s decisions and the intention to keep it as a long-term investment.

The equity investments in TGLT S.A. and Hersha Hospitality Trust were valued at their acquisition cost.

The preferred shares and warrants of Supertel Hospitality Inc. (“SHI”) explained in Note 22.A.9.  have been recorded as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, as per the provisions of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, which were complementarily applied to Argentine accounting standards.

The acquisition cost of such instruments has been segregated into preferred shares and warrants based on the estimated relative fair value of both instruments upon acquisition. In estimating such fair value, the valuation techniques used include parameters such SHI common shares market price, information not based on observable market data, probabilistic information, etc. The fair value estimated through these techniques exceeds the acquisition cost. In line with the international standards indicated above, the Company, through its subsidiaries, has recorded the investment at acquisition cost and has not recognized the day-one gain that would result from the difference between the price paid and the estimated fair value, because this estimation includes information not based on observable market data.

Consequently, any changes in the fair value of preferred shares and warrants are recognized in the period they occur under the item “Other holding results”, included in “Other financial and holding results”. No material changes have occurred in the fair market value of the instruments between the acquisition date and June 30, 2012. The financial information related to this investment is included in Note 5.

As regards to the acquisition of Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. (“NPSF”), Quality and the acquisition of additional shares of Arcos del Gourmet S.A.(“AGSA”), APSA has considered them to be business acquisitions and, as such, it has accounted for them at acquisition cost.

In that respect, APSA identified the assets and liabilities acquired, including fixed assets and intangible assets such as: rental agreements acquired which did not meet arms’ length principle, saved costs and rentals earned by acquiring an already operating shopping center and services concessions.

The process of identification and the determination of the purchased price paid is a matter that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.

APSA uses the information contained in valuations estimated by independent appraisers as primary base for assigning the price paid for the buildings acquired.

NOTE 2:
(Continued)

 
b.
(Continued)

As it was provided by Technical Resolution No. 21, should the acquisition cost exceed the amount of net identifiable assets, such excess shall be accounted for as positive goodwill. In the acquisitions indicated above, the Company has recorded positive goodwill. The positive goodwill derived from the acquisition of NPSF is written down over the term of the subconcession contract; the positive goodwill derived from the acquisition of Quality is written down over a term of 24 years. Positive goodwill derived from the acquisition of AGSA is amortized over the term of the concession until the works are completed.

Values thus obtained do not exceed the respective estimated recoverable values at year end.

The Company´s equity participation in Don Mario S.G.R., (“Don Mario”) was valued at acquisition cost as of June 30, 2012 based on the financial statements as of that date, and as such the provisions of Technical Resolution No. 21 of the F.A.C.P.C.E. have been applied.

·  
Risk Fund of the reciprocal guarantee company.

The risk fund created in the reciprocal guarantee company Don Mario has been accounted for at nominal value as of year-end, plus the yield reported by the Board of Directors of the reciprocal guarantee company as of that date (see Note 22 B.13).

 
c.
Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are carried at restated cost less accumulated amortization and corresponding allowances for impairment in value, if applicable. Included in the intangible assets caption are the following:

· Concession

Intangible assets include AGSA’s concession right, which will be amortized over the life of the concession agreement (see Notes 22 B.1. and 24 B.5.), after the opening of the shopping center.

· Trademarks

Trademarks include the expenses and fees related to their registration.

c.
(Continued)

· Pre-operating and organization expenses

These expenses are amortized by the straight-line method in 3 years, starting upon the opening of the shopping center.

The net carrying value of these assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at year end.

· Non-compete agreement

These expenses were amortized by the straight-line method in 28 months, starting upon December 1st, 2009.

Under the agreement executed with Banco Hipotecario S.A. for the sale of Tarshop S.A.’s shares, APSA has signed a non-compete agreement in favor of BHSA and has thus written off this intangible asset. (See Note 22 B.3.).

 
d.
Negative Goodwill, net

Amortizations were calculated through the straight-line method on the basis of an estimated useful life considering the weighted average of the remaining useful life of the assets acquired.

The residual value of goodwill arising from the acquisition of net assets and shares in companies has been shown in the “Negative goodwill, net” caption. Amortizations were classified in the “Amortization of the negative goodwill, net” caption of the Statement of Income. Goodwill related to the acquisition of interest in subsidiaries is included in non-current investments.

Values thus obtained do not exceed the respective estimated recoverable values at year end.

 
e.
Liabilities in kind related to barter transactions

Liabilities in kind corresponding to obligations to deliver units to be built are valued considering the value of the assets received or the cost of construction of the units to deliver plus necessary additional costs to transfer the assets to the creditor, the largest, thus reducing its value pro rata the units that are granted notarial titled deed. Liabilities in kind have been shown in the “Trade accounts payable”.

In November 1997, Llao Llao Holdings S.A. bought the Hotel Llao Llao from Administración de Parques Nacionales (APN). In that same year, the company Llao Llao Resorts S.A. (successor of Llao Llao Holding S.A.) was sued by APN in order to enforce collection of the unpaid balance of the additional price for such acquisition.

NOTE 21:
RESTRICTED ASSETS

A.  
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

(i)       Puerto Retiro S.A.

On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. (indirect subsidiary of IRSA) was notified of a filing made by the National Government, through the Ministry of Defense, to extend the petition in bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. (Indarsa) to Puerto Retiro S.A.. Concurrently with the complaint, at the request of plaintiff, the bankruptcy court granted an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro S.A. to sell or dispose in any manner the acquired real estate property from Tandanor S.A. in June 1993.

Indarsa had acquired 90% of the capital stock of Tandanor S.A. to a formerly estate owned company privatized in 1991, engaged in the shipyard industry.

Indarsa did not comply with the payment of the outstanding price for the acquisition of the stock of Tandanor, and therefore the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa, pursuing to extend the bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro S.A.

The evidence steps of the legal procedures have been completed. Puerto Retiro S.A. appealed the precautionary measure, being the same confirmed by the Court on December 14, 2000. The parties have submitted their claims in due time. The file was passed for the judge to issue a pronouncement, this being a decree adjourning the summoning of decisions to pronouncement in the understanding that there exists pre-judgment in respect of the penal cause filed against ex-officers of the Ministry of Defense and ex-directors of the Company. Consequently, the matter will not be solved until there is final judgment in penal jurisdiction.

(i)
(Continued)

Notice has been served upon the commercial court that the criminal cause of action was declared extinguished by operation of the statutes of limitation and that the accused were acquitted. However, this ruling was challenged by filing an appeal in cassation, which is why the other decision is still not final.

The Management and legal advisors of Puerto Retiro S.A. estimate that there are legal and technical issues to consider that the request for bankruptcy will be denied by the court. However, taking the particular characteristics into account and the progress of the legal action, this position cannot be considered conclusive.

 
(ii)
Loan of Hoteles Argentinos S.A.

In March 2005, Credit Suisse First Boston (“CSFB”) acquired a loan for US$ 11.1 million of Hoteles Argentinos S.A. (“HASA”), which had been in non-compliance since January 2002. In April 2006, HASA reduced the capital amount payable to US$ 6.0 million. The balance accrued a 6 months LIBROR interest plus 7.0%.

Jointly, a credit default swap was subscribed by the Company for 80% of the restructured debt value in order to protect CSFB in case of non-compliance with HASA’s obligations. As compensation, the Company received a coupon on a periodical basis. Additionally, the Company has deposited as guarantee the amount of US$ 1.2 million.

With the last installment of the loan received having been repaid on March 15, 2010, CSFB reimbursed the deposit to the Company. Simultaneously, HASA borrowed a new loan from Standard Bank Argentina S.A., for a total amount of Ps. 19.0 million, which accrued interest at a fixed rate, payable on a quarterly basis and the capital maturing on March, 2011. During that month, HASA refinanced the mentioned loan agreement, as per the following detail: US$ 0.4 million at a fixed rate (capital plus interest) to be paid on September 6, 2012; US$ 0.4 million at a fixed rate (capital plus interest) to be paid on March 14, 2012 and Ps. 15.8 million at a fixed rate, with capital to be paid on March 14, 2012 and interests payable on a quarterly basis.

On March 14, 2012, HASA refinanced the loan with Standard Bank Argentina S.A. for Ps. 15.8 million through a bank checking account overdraft agreement with such entity. This agreement provides for a fixed interest rate and a monthly renewal of the agreement term.

Acquisition of Lipstick Building, New York

In July 2008, the Company (through its subsidiaries) acquired a 30% interest in “Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue LLC” (“Metropolitan, which main asset (through its subsidiaries) was a rental office building in New York City known as the “Lipstick Building” and the debt related to that asset. The transaction included the acquisition of (i) a put right exercisable until July 2011 to sell a 50% of the interest acquired at the same value paid plus interest at 4.5% per annum and (ii) a right of first offer to acquire a 60% portion of the 5% interest of the shareholding. The total price paid was US$ 22.6 million.

During 2009, and in the context of the financial crisis and shrinkage of the real estate market in New York, Metropolitan incurred in significant losses, which resulted in negative equity mainly due to an impairment recognized in connection with the building. Since the Company’s share in Metropolitan’s losses exceeded its equity interest; the Company recognized a zero value on its investment and a liability of US$ 1.5 million which represented the Company’s maximum amount commitment to fund Metropolitan’s operations.

In December 2010, the negotiations geared towards restructuring the amounts owed under mortgage to the Royal Bank of Canada came to a successful conclusion. The debt was reduced from US$ 210.0 million to US$ 130.0 million (excluding accrued interest) at a Libor plus 400 basic points rate, which may not exceed a maximum rate of 6.25% and with a maturity date fixed at seven years. The junior indebtedness owed to Goldman, Sachs & Co., which had amounted to US$ 45.0 million (excluding accrued interest), was cancelled through a US$ 2.25 million payment.

Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold LLC (“Metropolitan Leasehold”) will maintain the existing ground leases in the same terms and conditions in which they had been initially agreed upon, for a remaining 66 years’ term. The final consent to this restructuring has already been tendered by all the parties concerned and the closing was consummated on December 30, 2010, as that is when the company New Lipstick LLC (“New Lipstick”), the new Metropolitan Leasehold holding company, made a US$ 15.0 million principal payment as repayment of the newly restructured mortgage debt, thus reducing it from US$ 130.0 million to US$ 115.0 million.

As a consequence of said closing, the Company has indirectly – through New Lipstick – increased its equity interest in the Lipstick Building to 49%. This increase originated in a US$ 15.3 million capital contribution and in the fact that the put option for 50% of the shareholding initially acquired in Metropolitan, which had amounted to approximately US$ 11.3 million plus accrued interest, has been rendered ineffectual. Besides, the above-mentioned commitment, for US$ 1.5 million, ceased to be in effect.

Acquisition of the building known as Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos (City of Córdoba)

On November 20, 2006, APSA acquired the building known as Edificio Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos (Patio Olmos), located in the city of Córdoba through a public bidding in the amount of Ps. 32,522.

The building is under a concession agreement effective for 40 years, falling due in February 2032, which grants the concession holder the commercial exploitation of the property. Such agreement provides for paying a staggered fee in favor of the concession principal which shall be increased by Ps. 2.5 every 47 months. As of the issuance date of these financial statements, the concession is at the 244 month, with a current monthly fee of Ps. 15.1 while the next increase is scheduled for the 281 month.

On September 25, 2007, the transfer deed for the building was signed with the Government of the Province of Córdoba and the transference of the respective concession contract.

Afterwards, the government of the Province of Córdoba declared the property to be of public use and subject to partial expropriation in order to be used exclusively for the Libertador San Martin theater. APSA has answered a complaint in an action and to challenge the law that declared such public interest on unconstitutional grounds. In the alternative, it has challenged the appraisal made by the plaintiff and, additionally, it has claimed damages not included in the appraisal and resulting immediately and directly from expropriation.

APSA has recorded this transaction as non-current investments.

On July 19, 2002, APSA issued Series I of Convertible Notes (“ONC”) for up to US$ 50 million with a face value of Ps. 0.1 each., maturing on July 19, 2014.

The ONC accrue interests at a fixed nominal rate of 10% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually. They can be converted at any time by choice of each Corporate Noteholder into common shares at a conversion price which is the higher of: (i) the result of dividing the Company’s shares face value (Ps. 0.1) by the exchange rate, and (ii) US$ 0.0324, which means that each ONC can be turned into 30.864 shares of Ps. 0.1 face value. The shares underlying the conversion of the notes 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.

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.

On October 7, 2010, holders of ONC for a face value of US$ 15.5 million exercised their conversion rights. Consequently, the Company issued 477,544,197 shares of common stock with a face value of Ps. 0.1 each. As from the conversion and issuing of the shares, common stock of APSA increased from 782,064,214 to 1,259,608,411 shares.

Therefore, as from the program issuing date until June 30, 2012, the ONC holders have exercised their right to convert in APSA common shares for a total amount of US$ 18.3 million.

On April 30, 2010, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of Banco Hipotecario resolved to delegate upon the Board of Directors the decision to pay with the treasury shares in portfolio the StAR coupons resulting from the debt restructuring as advisable based on the contractually agreed valuation methods and their actual market value after allowing the shareholders to exercise their preemptive rights on an equal footing.

On June 16, 2010, the Board of Directors of Banco Hipotecario offered to sell 36 million of its treasury Class D shares to its existing shareholders. On July 26, 2010, in the framework of the offering, the Bank sold approximately 26.9 million of its treasury Class D shares. On August 3, 2010, the Bank applied the proceeds from the offering and the remaining Class D shares to the cancellation of the StAR coupons maturing on that date.

On April 13, 2011, Banco Hipotecario´s Special Shareholders Meeting decided to authorize the Board of Directors to sell treasury shares in the open market, reducing to ten days the term established for the exercise of pre-emptive rights, which term is not applicable where the sale of shares does not exceed 1% of the Company's capital stock in any given period of 12 months.

The Company’s Banco Hipotecario treasury shares still in its portfolio amount to 36.6 million and entail an increase in the Company’s ownership interest. As considered for valuation purposes, they have risen from 29.77% to 30.51%.

NOTE 26:                        ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRS”)

The National Securities Commission, (“CNV”, as per its Spanish acronym), through General Resolutions No. 562/9 and 576/10, has provided for the application of Technical Resolutions No. 26 and 29 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“F.A.C.P.C.E.”, as per its Spanish acronym), which adopt the IFRS, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), for companies subject to the public offering regime ruled by Law 17,811, due to the listing of their shares or corporate notes, and for entities that have applied for authorization to be listed under the mentioned regime.

Therefore, the Company is required to adopt IFRS as published by the IASB as from the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012, being the financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the first interim financial statements prepared under IFRS as published by the IASB. The Company’s transition date for the adoption of IFRS is July 1, 2011.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in Argentina, as set forth by the FACPCE and as implemented, adapted, amended, revised and/or supplemented by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (“CPCECABA”) (collectively “Argentine GAAP”), and in accordance with the regulations of the CNV; which differ from IFRS as to measurement and presentation.

The items and/or amounts in the reconciliations included below are subject to change and should only be deemed final when the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS for the first time as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013 are issued.

IFRS 1 allows entities adopting IFRS for the first time to consider certain one-time exemptions. Additionally, IFRS 1 requires the application of certain mandatory exceptions. These exemptions have been foreseen by the IASB to simplify the first-time application of certain IFRS, relieving the obligation of retrospective application of the standards.
 
 
Following is a summary of the exemptions and exceptions included in IFRS 1 applicable to the Company in the transition from Argentine GAAP to IFRS:

1. Optional exemptions to IFRS

Below is a detail of the optional exemptions applicable to the Company under IFRS 1

NOTE 26:(Continued)

1.1.  
Exemption for business combinations

IFRS 1 provides the option to apply IFRS 3 “Business combinations” prospectively from the transition date or from a specific date prior to the transition date. This provides relief from full retrospective application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date. The Company elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively to business combinations occurring after its transition date. Business combinations occurring prior to the transition date have not been restated.

The business combination exemption applies equally to acquisitions of investments in associates or joint ventures. The Company elected not to restate the acquisitions of investments in associates or joint ventures prior to transition date.

1.2.  
Exemption for deemed cost

IFRS 1 allows previous GAAP revaluations to be used as deemed cost under IFRS if those valuations were, at the time of the valuation, equivalent to fair value or depreciated cost adjusted to reflect changes in a price index. The Company elected to measure certain items of property, plant and equipment and investment property at price-adjusted values as of July 1, 2011.

In addition, IFRS 1 allows the carrying values of the assets and liabilities immediately following a business combination to be deemed cost for any cost-based measurement going forward from the date of the combination. The Company adopted a cost-based policy for all of its assets. As such, the Company used the previous fair values recognized in past business combinations (not restated as per the business combination exemption above) for certain items of investment property and property, plant and equipment (primarily shopping centers, office buildings and hotel buildings) as deemed cost at the date of transition. All depreciation methods were already in compliance with those required by IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”.

NOTE 26:(Continued)

1.3.  
Exemption for compound financial instruments

IFRS 1 establishes that if the liability component of a financial instrument is no longer outstanding at the date of transition to IFRS, first-time adopters do not have to separate it from the equity component. The Company elected not to restate convertible debt instruments no longer outstanding at the date of transition.

1.4.  
Exemption for borrowing costs

IFRS 1 allows not restating borrowing cost capitalized at the date of transition under the previous GAAP. The Company elected to apply the requirements of IAS 23 “Borrowing costs” prospectively from the date of transition.

1.5.  
Exemption for assets and liabilities of subsidiaries

In accordance with IFRS 1, if a parent company adopts IFRS later than its subsidiary, associate or joint venture, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, associate or joint venture shall be measured in the consolidated financial statements at the same carrying amounts as in the financial statements of the subsidiary, associate or joint venture, adjusted to reflect changes in the Company’s accounting policy when consolidating, if applicable. The Company’s associate, Tarshop S.A., adopted IFRS for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

1.6.  
Exemption for cumulative translation

IFRS 1 permits cumulative translation gains and losses to be reset to zero at the transition date. This provides relief from determining cumulative currency translation differences in accordance with IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, from the date a subsidiary or equity method investee was formed or acquired. The Company elected to reset all cumulative translation gains and losses to zero in opening retained earnings at its transition date.

The Company has not used other optional exemptions available in IFRS 1.

2. IFRS mandatory exceptions

The mandatory exceptions to IFRS No. 1 applicable to the Company are detailed below:

NOTE 26:(Continued)

2.1.  
Exception for estimates

The estimates made by the Company under IFRS at July 1, 2011 are consistent with the estimates made at the same date under Argentine GAAP. Therefore, an estimate made by the Company under previous GAAP has not been revised for application of IFRS except where necessary to reflect any difference in accounting policies.

2.2.  
Exception for non controlling interests

IFRS 1 establishes that an entity must apply the requirements in IFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements” for accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control prospectively. Under previous Argentine GAAP, the Company accounted for acquisitions of non controlling interests that did not result in change of control as business combinations. Furthermore, under previous Argentine GAAP, the Company accounted for disposals of non controlling interests based on its carrying value at the date of disposal, recognizing any difference between the carrying value of the non controlling interest and the consideration received in the statement of income. The Company did not restate these acquisitions or disposals prior to transition date.

IFRS 1 establishes that an entity must apply the requirements in IFRS 10 for accounting for a loss of control over a subsidiary prospectively. Under previous Argentine GAAP, the Company recognized any non controlling equity investment retained under the equity method at the date control was lost.

The other compulsory exceptions of IFRS 1 have not been applied, as these are not relevant to the Company.

3. Mandatory reconciliations

In accordance with the requirements of Technical Resolution No. 26 (as subsequently amended by Technical Resolution No. 29), set out below are the reconciliations of shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2012 and July 1, 2011, and the reconciliations of net income, other comprehensive income and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2012. The reconciliations included below were prepared based on the IFRS standards that are estimated to be applicable for the Company for the financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013. The items and/or amounts in the reconciliations included below are subject to change and should only be deemed final when the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS for the first time as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013 are issued.

The items and/or amounts included in the reconciliations could be modified to the extent that, when preparing financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, applicable standards are different.

3.4.5.
Disclosure reclassifications that affect the statement of cash flow for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2012

Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, the Company proportionally consolidated the joint ventures’ accounts, which as of June 30, 2012 are Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A., Cyrsa S.A., Canteras Natal Crespo S.A., Quality Invest S.A., Baicom Networks S.A. and Puerto Retiro S.A.. Consequently, there were some differences between the amount of cash and cash equivalents reported in the main statement of cash flows and the amount of cash and cash equivalents that would be reported in the statement of cash flows prepared under IFRS.

Additionally, pursuant to Argentine GAAP, revenue derived from property, plant and equipment (including properties classified as investment property under IFRS) was reported as operating activities. In accordance with IFRS, revenue derived from investment property and property, plant and equipment is reported as investment activities.

Finally, according to Argentine GAAP, the acquisition of non controlling interests was reported as investment activities, while under IFRS this transaction would have been classified as financing activities.

Thus, cash flows generated by or used in operating, investment and financing activities were different in the statement of cash flow prepared.

4.  
Explanation of the transition to IFRS

(a) Revenue recognition – “scheduled rent increases”

Argentine GAAP – Revenue from “non-cancelable” leases subject to scheduled rent escalation clauses is recognized when the escalated payments are due. Therefore, revenue does not include an averaging of rental income. Rent-free periods, reduced rent or other tenant incentives, if any, are recognized in the period in which these incentives are provided.

IFRS – The Company applied IAS 17 “Leases”. As a result, lease income from operating leases with scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. All tenant incentives, if any, are treated as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

As a consequence, the Company recognized a receivable for rent averaging of Ps. 52.0 million and Ps. 78.5 million as of July 1, 2011 and as of June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 52.0 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 26.5 million gain was recognized in the statement of income.

NOTE 26:(Continued)

(b) Revenue recognition – “letting fees”

Argentine GAAP – The Company does not generally use the services of a third-party lease agent for its shopping center properties. Rather, the Company acts as its own leasing agent and earns letting fees. Letting fees are recognized at the time a transaction is successfully completed. A transaction is considered successfully completed when both parties (the tenant and the Company) have signed the related lease contract.

IFRS – The Company considers that in these circumstances payments received from tenants for “letting fees” are not different from other payments received such as admission rights. Accordingly, revenue from letting fees is recognized under the straight-line method over the lease term.

As a result, payments received from tenants for “letting fees” of Ps. 35.5 million and Ps. 44.5 million were deferred as of July 1, 2011 and as of June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 35.5 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 9.0 million loss was recognized in the statement of income.

(c) Trading properties

Argentine GAAP – Trading properties are stated at the lower of cost adjusted for inflation or net realizable value. Additionally, trading properties are measured at net realizable value when contracts are exchanged for which a non-refundable deposit has been received securing the sale in advance of legal completion (i.e. transfer of deed of title and significant risk and rewards). This form of sale fixes the price of the property and the terms and conditions of the contract providing reasonable certainty about the closing of the transaction and realization of the gain. Accordingly, these transactions are deemed consummated for Argentine GAAP purposes and revenue is recognized at the time the contract is signed.

IFRS – Trading properties are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Revenue from the sale of properties is recognized only when the significant risks and rewards have transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place with the notarial title deed.

NOTE 26:(Continued)

(c) (continued)

As a result, the Company eliminated the effect of inflation adjustment on trading properties for an amount of Ps. 12.9 million and Ps. 9.4 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 12.9 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 3.6 million gain was recognized in the statement of income.

On the other hand, the Company adjusted the revaluation of trading properties based on sales agreements subscribed before the fiscal year end and for which title had not been transferred as of that date, for an amount of Ps. 16.4 million and Ps. 9.6 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized a gain for an amount of Ps. 6.8 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 16.4 million against retained earnings.

(d) Pre-operating and organization expenses

Argentine GAAP – Under Argentine GAAP, pre-operating, organization expenses and other start-up costs (mainly related to the opening of new shopping centers) are capitalized and amortized under the straight-line method generally over a period of three to five years.

IFRS – IFRS prescribes that pre-operating expenses cannot be attributed to the cost of property, plant and equipment, investment properties, trading properties or the formation of intangible assets and are immediately recognized as expenses.

As a result, the balances of pre-operating, organization expenses and other start-up costs capitalized under Argentine GAAP were derecognized under IFRS for an amount of Ps. 22.0 million and Ps. 22.1 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized a gain for an amount of Ps. 0.1 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 22.0 million against retained earnings.

NOTE 26:(Continued)

(e) Goodwill

Argentine GAAP – The Company accounted for acquisitions of businesses and non controlling interests under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on the respective fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net identifiable assets and is amortized under the straight-line method over the weighted average useful life of the tangible assets acquired. Goodwill does not exceed its respective estimated recoverable value at year-end.

IFRS – As noted in Note 26.1.1., the Company has applied the exemption in IFRS 1 for business combinations. Also, as noted in Note 26.2.2., the Company has applied the exception in IFRS 1 for acquisitions of non controlling interests.

Consequently, business combinations and acquisitions of non controlling interests completed prior to July 1, 2011 have not been restated and the carrying amount of goodwill under IFRS as of July 1, 2011 is equal to the carrying amount under Argentine GAAP as of that date. There were no previously recognized intangible assets under Argentine GAAP that did not qualify for separate recognition under IFRS.

In accordance with IFRS, goodwill is not amortized; it is, instead, tested for impairment annually. Goodwill has been tested at transition date and no impairment has been recognized. The amortization charge has been adjusted in the statement of income.

Negative goodwill

Argentine GAAP – Under Argentine GAAP, when the amount paid in a business combination or acquisition of a non-controlling interest was lower than the carrying amount of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the Company recognized such amount as negative goodwill on the statement of financial position (as a deduction to non-current assets) and amortized it over the period considered to justify negative goodwill not exceeding 20 years. However, under Argentine GAAP, when negative goodwill exists, acquired intangible assets which otherwise would be recognized are reduced to absorb the negative goodwill even if they are then assigned a zero value.

NOTE 26:(Continued)

(e) (Continued)

Additionally, where the amount paid for the acquisition of associates and/or joint ventures is lower to the investor's share in the net fair values of the associate and/or joint venture's identifiable assets and liabilities, the Company recognized such amount as negative goodwill on the statement of financial position and amortized it over the period considered to justify negative goodwill not exceeding 20 years.

IFRS – As noted in Note 26.1.1., the Company has applied the exemption in IFRS 1 for business combinations. Also, as noted in Note 26.2.2., the Company has applied the exception in IFRS 1 for acquisitions of non controlling interests. Consequently, business combinations and acquisitions of non-controlling interests completed prior to July 1, 2011 have not been restated. In accordance with IFRS, negative goodwill is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

Additionally, acquisitions of associates and/or joint ventures are initially recorded at cost of the investment. Any difference between the cost of the investment and the investor's share in the net fair values of the associate's and/ or joint venture’s identifiable assets and liabilities is goodwill. Negative goodwill is taken to the income statement in the period when the associate and/or joint venture is acquired.

As a result, the balances of negative goodwill recognized in the statement of financial position under Argentine GAAP were derecognized under IFRS for an amount of Ps. 425.8 million and Ps. 406.5 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized a loss for an amount of Ps. 19.3 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 425.8 million against retained earnings and the amount of Ps. 0.1 in the other comprehensive income.

(f)  Non-current investments – financial assets

Argentine GAAP –The Company holds investments in listed shares with readily determinable fair values, namely TGLT S.A. and Hersha Hospitality Trust. Under Argentine GAAP, these investments were carried at acquisition cost since they are not held for the purpose of trading in the short term.

NOTE 26:(Continued)

(f) (Continued)

IFRS – Under IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”, all equity investments are measured at fair value. Equity investments held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, the Company can make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. The Company has elected to recognize changes in fair value of such equity securities in the statement of income.

As a result, the Company adjusted the value of these equity securities to fair value by Ps. 151.4 million and Ps. 138.2 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 151.4 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 13.2 million loss was recognized in the statement of income.

(g) Initial direct costs on operating leases

Argentine GAAP - Under Argentine GAAP, certain initial direct costs (i.e. legal, commissions and other fees) paid to third parties for arranging a lease (when the Company is a lessor) are recognized as an immediate expense when incurred.

IFRS – Initial direct costs incurred by lessors in arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased assets (i.e. investment properties) and are recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

As a result, Ps. 0.7 million and Ps. 0.9 million, as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively, were added to “Investment properties”. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 0.7 million was recognized against retained earnings and Ps. 0.2 million gain were recognized in the statement of income.

(h) Tenant deposits

Argentine GAAP - The Company obtains deposits from tenants as a guarantee for returning the property at the end of the lease term in a specified good condition or for the lease payments for a period of generally three years. The deposits generally amount to one month of lease rentals. These deposits are treated as liabilities under Argentine GAAP and measured at the amount received by the tenants.

NOTE 26:(Continued)

(h)  (Continued)

IFRS - Tenant deposits are treated as both a financial asset and a financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9, and they are initially recognized at fair value. The difference between fair value and cash received is considered to be part of the minimum lease payments received for the operating lease. The deposits are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

As a result, the Company adjusted the financial liability from tenant deposits for an amount of Ps. 0.1 million and Ps. 0.3 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized a gain of Ps. 0.2 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 0.1 million against retained earnings.

(i) Impairment of financial assets

Argentine GAAP – As of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, the Company maintains balances relating to credit card loans, which are carried at their amortized cost. Under Argentine GAAP, the Company determined an allowance for loan losses based on specific criteria set forth for financial and banking institutions.

IFRS - The Company applied the impairment provisions in IFRS 9.

As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of Ps. 2.1 million and Ps. 0.5 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 2.1 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 1.6 million gain was recognized in the statement of income.

(j) Present value accounting – tax credits

Argentine GAAP – Under Argentine GAAP, certain long-term tax credits are present-valued as of year-end.

IFRS – Under IFRS, there is no requirement to discount long-term tax credits. The Company elects to measure tax receivables and payables at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities and thus, not discounting long-term tax credits.

(j)  (continued)

As a result, the Company eliminated the effect of discounting tax credits for an amount of Ps. 11.2 million and Ps. 5.9 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 11.2 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 5.3 million loss was recognized in the statement of income.

(k) Impact of IFRS adjustments on investment in associates

Argentine GAAP - Investments in entities in which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is recorded at original cost and periodically increased (decreased) by the investor's proportionate share of earnings (losses) of the investee and decreased by all dividends received from the investor by the investee. The Company applied its percentage ownership interest to the financial statements of its equity method investments prepared under Argentine GAAP.

IFRS - The Company assessed all of its interests in the entities mentioned in the paragraph above and determined that the Company exercises significant influence over them. Accordingly, under IFRS, the Company also accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. However, the Company has assessed the impact of IFRS adjustments on the financial statements of these investments prepared under Argentine GAAP prior to the application of the equity method.

As of June 30, 2012, the associates of the Company are Banco Hipotecario S.A., BACS – Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A., New Lipstick LLC, Rigby 183 LLC, Tarshop S.A., Bitania 26 S.A. and Manibil S.A..

Following is a description of the most significant IFRS adjustments to the net equity and income of associates. For ease of presentation and to facilitate an understanding of the nature of the IFRS adjustments, associates were grouped by business activities. Associates are not discussed below when IFRS adjustments were not significant to the Company or no IFRS adjustments were identified.

Banking:

The Company assessed the financial statements of the associates related to the banking business and determined the following adjustments to IFRS as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012:

- Under Argentine GAAP, revenues from life and disability insurance and loan origination fees are recognized on an up-front basis. Under IFRS, these revenues are recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the respective underlying receivables.

- Under Argentine GAAP, the allowance for loan losses are recognized based on specific criteria as set forth by the Central Bank for financial and banking institutions. Under IFRS, the associate applied the impairment provisions in IFRS 9.

- Under Argentine GAAP, receivables transferred to trusts in securitization programs are treated as sales and a gain or loss is recognized on the sale. Usually the transferor retains an interest in the trust and maintains a cash reserve which serves as collateral for payments of amounts due under the debt securities issued by the trust. Under IFRS, following the provisions of IFRS 9, the associate is not able to derecognize financial assets with these characteristics. As a result, the associate continues recognizing the receivables and a liability for the consideration received upon transfer. The receivables recognized are then tested for impairment following the IFRS 9 criteria.

- Under Argentine GAAP, the calculation of the insurance technical reserves is recognized following the regulations issued by the National Insurance Superintendence. Under IFRS, following the guidance of IFRS 4 “Insurance contracts”, the associate measured the insurance technical reserve in accordance with the “best estimation” approach.

Investment properties:

The Company assessed the financial statements of the associates related to the investment property business and determined the following adjustments to IFRS as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012:

- Under Argentine GAAP, revenue from non-cancelable leases subject to scheduled rent escalation clauses is recognized when the escalated payments are due. Therefore, revenue does not include an averaging of rental income. Rent-free periods, reduced rent or other tenant incentives, if any, are recognized in the period in which these incentives are provided. Under IFRS, lease income from operating leases with scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. All tenant incentives, if any, are treated as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

- Under Argentine GAAP, lease expense where the entity is the lessee under an operating ground lease agreement subject to escalation clauses is recognized when the escalated payments are due. Therefore, lease expense is not straight-lined. Under IFRS, lease payments for operating leases with scheduled rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases.

As a result, the net equity of these associates was reduced by Ps. 56.2 million and Ps. 152.2 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 56.2 million was recognized against retained earnings, an amount of Ps. 89.9 million loss was recognized in the statement of income, and an amount of Ps. 6.1 million was recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income.

(l) Impact of IFRS adjustments on investment in joint ventures

Argentine GAAP - Investments in entities in which the Company exercises joint control are accounted for under the proportionate consolidation method. Under the proportionate consolidation method, the financial statements of the Company reflect the Company’s pro-rata equity interest in the jointly controlled entities on a line-by-line basis. The Company applied its pro-rata equity interest to the financial statements of its jointly-controlled entities prepared under Argentine GAAP.

IFRS –The Company assessed all of its interests in joint arrangements and determined that they are joint ventures under IFRS 11 “Joint arrangements”. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company has assessed the impact of IFRS adjustments on the financial statements of joint ventures prepared under Argentine GAAP prior to the application of the equity method.

As of June 30, 2012, the joint ventures of the Company are Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A., Cyrsa S.A. Canteras Natal Crespo S.A., Quality Invest S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A. and Baicom Networks S.A..

Following is a description of the most significant IFRS adjustments to the net equity and income of the joint ventures.

Investment and development properties:

- Under Argentine GAAP, tenant deposits are treated as liabilities and measured at the amount received by the tenants. Under IFRS, tenant deposits are treated as both a financial asset and a financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9, and they are initially recognized at fair value. The difference between fair value and cash received is considered to be part of the minimum lease payments received for the operating lease. The deposits are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

- Argentine GAAP – Revenue from “non-cancelable” leases subject to scheduled rent escalation clauses is recognized when the escalated payments are due. The Company applied IAS 17 “Leases”. As a result, lease income from operating leases with scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases.

- Under Argentine GAAP, certain long-term tax credits are present-valued as of year-end. Under IFRS, there is no requirement to discount long-term tax credits. The joint venture elects to measure tax receivables and payables at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities and thus, not discounting long-term tax credits. As a result, the joint ventures eliminated the effect of discounting tax.

- Under Argentine GAAP, the joint venture has historically accounted for revenues and therefore profits from all property sales on a percentage of completion basis once contracts for the sale of a property have been exchanged and only if the eventual profit from that property can be foreseen with reasonable certainty. Under IFRS, the joint venture has applied IFRIC 15 “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate”. The Company assessed the contractual terms of the agreements and concluded that revenue from open market sales of real estate should be accounted for on legal completion of the properties in accordance with IAS 18 “Revenue”. As a result, the joint venture recognizes revenue from the sale of private homes and commercial units entirely at the point of legal completion in accordance with IAS 18.

NOTE 26(Continued)

(l) (Continued)

The most significant impact of IFRIC 15 is therefore the deferral of profits previously recognized from the point of exchange of contracts onwards until the point of legal completion. All of these profits are now recognized at a later date.

As a result, the net equity of the Company’s joint ventures was decreased by Ps. 16.7 million and Ps. 11.2 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 16.7 million was recognized against retained earnings, an amount of Ps. 5.5 million gain was recognized in the statement of income.

(m)  Acquisition of non controlling interests

As explained in Note 26.2.2., the Company has applied the exemption in IFRS 1 for accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control. Consequently, acquisitions of non controlling interests concluded prior to July 1, 2011 have not been restated.

The IFRS adjustments below relate to acquisitions of non controlling interest occurring on or after July 1, 2011.

Argentine GAAP - Under Argentine GAAP, the Company accounted the acquisition of the non controlling interests under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the purchase price paid is allocated to the net assets acquired based on its fair value. Assets, including goodwill, and liabilities of the acquired business are recognized using a cost accumulation approach (i.e. for the previous equity interests acquired). These acquisitions generated goodwill since the cost of acquisition exceeded the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

IFRS – Under IFRS, the Company applied the principles of IFRS 10 in accounting for changes in ownership interests. As per IFRS 10, when an additional interest is obtained and control is maintained, the transaction is accounted for as an equity transaction. The Company does not recognize any additional acquisition adjustments to reflect the subsequent purchase of additional shares in the subsidiary if there is no change in control.

Under IFRS, the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the related carrying value of the non controlling interest acquired is recognized in the controlling interest’s equity as a credit or debit to share premium. Therefore, no gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income and no additional goodwill is recognized. The carrying value of the non controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the non controlling interest’s ownership interest in the subsidiary.

NOTE 26(Continued)

(m) (Continued)

As a result of the above explanation, as of June 30, 2012, the Company: (i) derecognized goodwill for an amount of Ps. 15.2 million, (ii) recognized a decrease in non controlling interest for an amount of Ps. 1.2 million, (iii) recognized a decrease in net assets for Ps. 9.0 million, and (iv) recognized a debit of Ps. 16.4 million in shareholders’ equity.

(n) Amortization of transaction costs on borrowings

Argentine GAAP - Under Argentine GAAP, transactions costs directly attributable to the acquisition of borrowings are amortized under the straight-line method over the contract term.

IFRS – Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of borrowings are deducted from the fair value at which the financial liability is initially recognized. Subsequently, they are amortized using the effective interest method over the contract term.

As a result, the Company adjusted the carrying value of borrowings for an amount of Ps. 0.11 million and Ps. 0.12 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 0.11 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 0.01 million gain was recognized in the statement of income.

(o)  Foreign currency translation

Argentine GAAP - Foreign operations shall be classified as integrated or non-integrated entities depending if their activities are carried out as an extension of the reporting entity. Exchange differences resulting from the translation of integrated entities are recognized in the statement of income under the line item “Financial results, net”. Exchange differences resulting from the translation of non-integrated entities are recognized in a separate reserve in equity.

IFRS – Exchange differences resulting from the translation of foreign operations are recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income and depend on its functional currency.

As a result, the Company reclassified an amount of Ps 32.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2012 against the line item “Finance income” in the statement of income and the line item “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in the statement of other comprehensive income.

NOTE 26: (Continued)

(p)  Deferred income tax

Argentine GAAP - The Company accounts for income taxes using the deferred tax method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax based assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. Argentine GAAP does not prescribe detailed specific guidance related to the recognition of a valuation allowance. The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance based on several factors including but not limited to current projections, legal expiration periods and others.

IFRS – There is no difference in the determination of deferred income taxes. However, deferred tax assets are recognized when it is considered probable (defined as “more likely than not”) that sufficient taxable profits will be available to utilize the temporary difference or unused tax losses. IFRS does not allow the recognition of valuation allowances.


IFRS establishes more specific and strict procedures to assess whether a deferred tax asset should be recognized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a deferred tax asset should be recognized. Judgment must be used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The more negative evidence that exists (a) the more positive evidence is necessary and (b) the more difficult it is to support a conclusion that a deferred tax asset can be recognized.

As a result, on transition to IFRS, the Company has not recognized deferred tax assets relating to any carry forward losses and other temporary differences for an amount of Ps. 16.5 million and Ps. 18.8 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 16.5 million was recognized against retained earnings, a loss of Ps. 2.8 million in the statement of income and an amount of Ps. 0.5 million gain was recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income.

In addition, the Company has assessed the impact of all IFRS adjustments on deferred income taxes. As a result, the Company recognized an adjustment to deferred income taxes of Ps. 0.8 million and Ps. 5.6 million as of July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the year ended June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 0.7 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 6.4 million loss was recognized in the statement of income.

(q)  Non-controlling interest

Differences for non-controlling interest include the effect of recording, where applicable, the corresponding effect of other differences between Argentine GAAP and IFRS.

NOTE 27:                        SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of equity interest in Rigby 183

IRSA, through its subsidiary IRSA International LLC, has contractually agreed to purchase the whole 33.36% interest that Rigby Madison LLC holds in Rigby 183, owner of the building identified as Madison 183 in Manhattan.  As a result, IRSA’s interest in Rigby 183 will increase to 82.36% of its capital stock.

The amount of the transaction was US$ 32.5 million, of which US$ 5.0 million have been paid while the remaining balance is to be paid upon closing of the transaction in the month of October 2012.

Acquisition of shares of APSA

During August, 2012, E-Commerce acquired through successive purchases 37,814 shares of APSA’s capital stock, equal to a 0.03% equity interest, for a total value of US$ 0.124 million. As a result of such acquisition, IRSA’s direct and indirect ownership in APSA amounts to 95.64%.

Partial payment of debt owed by Quality

On August 31, 2012, Quality made a partial payment of US$ 2 million on account of the second installment of the purchase price agreed upon for the property sold by Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y F. (See Note 22 A.7.).

On July 25, 2012, APSA acquired Corporate Notes Class II (US$) from IRSA for a total amount of US$ 0.88 million (See Note 17.1 to the basic financial statements)

NOTE 1:
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Below are the most relevant accounting standards used by the Company to prepare these financial statements:

1.1.         Preparation and presentation of financial statements

These financial statements are stated in thousands of Argentine pesos and were prepared in accordance with disclosure and valuation criteria contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas, approved with certain amendments by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, in accordance with the resolutions issued by the National Securities Commission.

 
1.2.
Use of estimates

The preparation for financial statements requires the Company’s 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. The Company’s Management makes estimations to calculate, for example, the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, the impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes, contingencies allowances, fair value of assets acquired in a business combination, the fulfillment of certain conditions for valuation of inventories to its net realizable value and fair value of transaction of exchanges (barters). Future actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions made at the date of these financial statements.

1.3.         Recognition of the effects of inflation

The financial statements have been prepared in constant Argentine Pesos, 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 financial statements taken as a whole.

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

1.4.  
Comparative information

Balances items as of June 30, 2011 shown in these financial statements for comparative purposes arise from annual financial statements for the year then ended.

Certain reclassifications of prior year information have been made to conform to the current year presentation, which resulted mainly for the recognition of deferred tax liabilities derived from an adjustment for inflation of fixed assets and other non-monetary assets (see Note 1.5.o).

1.5. Significant accounting polices

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 year end exchange rates.

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

c. Current investments

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

d.     Accounts receivable, net and trade accounts payable

Accounts receivable, net and trade accounts payable have been valued at nominal value. Values obtained by this do not differ significantly from those that had been valued at the estimated 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 payables

Financial receivables and payables have been valued at nominal value plus accrued interest at the end of the year. Values obtained by this do not differ significantly from those that had been valued at the amount deposited and collected, respectively, net of the cost of the transaction, plus financial results accrued based on the internal rate of return estimated at the time of initial recognition.

The Company has recognized various Lease agreements such as finance leases; as a result, it has recorded leased property under fixed assets at the respective contractual values against banks and financial loans on the liability side of the balance sheet.

1.5.  (Continued)

f.     Other receivables and liabilities

Other receivables and other liabilities have been valued at face value plus the financial results accrued at the closing of the corresponding year. The figures thus obtained are not significantly different from those that would have been obtained if valued on the basis of the best possible estimate of the amounts receivable and payable, respectively, discounted by application of a rate that reflects the time value of money and the specific risks inherent in the transaction as estimated at the time of recognizing the item in assets and liabilities, respectively.

Certain receivables and liabilities disclosed under other non-current receivables and liabilities, were valued based on the best estimate of the amount receivable and payable, respectively, discounted at an interest rate that reflect the value-time of money and the estimate specific transaction risks at the time of incorporation to assets and liabilities, respectively.

As established by the regulations of the accounting professional standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities and minimum presumed income tax (MPIT) have not been discounted.

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 market value, whichever is lower. Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs, construction overhead costs, financial costs and real estate taxes.

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 net realizable value. Profits arising from such valuation are shown in the “Gain from recognition of inventories at net realizable value” caption of the Statements 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 year.

·  Units to be received

The Company has rights to receive certain property units to be built. These rights have been valued according to the accounting measuring standards corresponding to units receivable (the price established in the deed) and these have been disclosed under “Inventories”.

i.  Non-current investments

·  Investments in debt securities:
Investments in debt securities were valued at their net realizable value.

·  Investments in subsidiaries and equity investments:
Non-current investments in subsidiaries and equity investments have been valued by using the equity method of accounting based on the financial statements issued by them. The accounting standards used by the subsidiaries and related companies to prepare their financial statements are similar to the ones used by the Company. For controlled and related companies, there is no binding requirement to recognize deferred tax liabilities derived from the adjustment for inflation of fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. IRSA has considered such adjustment in accounting for its interest in such companies.

This item includes the lower or higher value paid for the purchase of shares in subsidiaries and affiliated companies assignable to the assets acquired, and goodwill related to the subsidiaries and affiliated companies acquired.

Fixed assets, net

Fixed assets comprise primarily of rental properties and other properties 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 year.

·  
Rental properties:
Rental properties are carried at acquisition and/or construction cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment at the end of the year. The Company capitalizes the financial accrued costs associated with long-term construction projects.

Depreciation was computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset applying annual rates in order to extinguish their values at the end of its useful life. The Company revises the useful life of the assets periodically.

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 renewals 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 Statements of Income.

l.  
Business combinations

Significant entities or net asset acquired by the Company are recorded in line with the “purchased method” set forth in Technical Resolution No. 18 and Technical Resolution No. 21. All assets and liabilities acquired to third independent parties are adjusted to show their fair value. The Company identifies the assets and liabilities acquired, that included intangible assets such as: lease agreements acquired for prices and terms that are either higher or lower than in the market; costs of executing and delivering the lease agreements in force (costs that the Company avoids incurring as a result of acquiring effective lease agreements); the value of acquired brands, the value of any deposits associated to the investment and the intangible value inherent to customer relations.

The process of identification and the determination of the purchase price paid is a matter that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.

The Company uses the information contained in valuations estimated by independent appraisers as primary base for assigning the price paid for the land, buildings and shopping centers. The amounts assigned to all the other assets and liabilities are based on independent valuations or on the Company´s own analysis on comparable assets and liabilities.

If the price paid is larger than the value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as identified, the excess is considered to be goodwill.

The negative goodwill represents the excess market value of net assets from those subsidiaries acquired at the equity percentage above the acquisition cost.

m.  
Debt issuance costs

Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the related issuances. In the case of redemption or conversion of these notes, the related expenses are amortized using the accelerated depreciation method.

Amortization has been recorded under “Financial results and holding gain/loss, net” in the Statements of Income as a greater financing expense.

n.  
Customer advances

Customer advances represent payments received in connection with the sale and rent of properties and has been valued according to the amount of money received.

o.     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 15).

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 carryforwards, considering the legal regulations approved at the date of issuance of these financial statements. As stated by National Securities Commission’s (CNV) rules, deferred income tax has been presented at its nominal value.

The Company had decided not to recognize the deferred tax liability arising from the inflation adjustment of fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. The National Securities Commission (CNV) issued General Ruling 592 and provided that issuers who have chosen to disclose the deferred tax liabilities arising from the inflation adjustment in the notes to the financial statements should recognize such liabilities against retained earnings for purposes of implementing the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These liabilities may be recognized as of any interim or annual financial statement date through the fiscal year closing immediately before the first period of mandatory application of the IFRS.

For this reason, and for purposes of complying with the rulings of the National Securities Commission, the Company has recorded an adjustment to recognize the relevant deferred tax liability. The breakdown of adjustment to retained earnings, following the application of accounting standards required by the National Securities Commission is shown in the table below:

Item

p.
MPIT

The Company calculates MPIT 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 MPIT 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.

The Company has recognized MPIT accrued in the year and paid in previous years as credit, because the Company estimates that in the future years it may be computable as prepayment of income tax.

 
q.
Allowances and Provisions

Changes in provisions are showed in Exhibit E

·  
 Allowance for doubtful accounts:
The allowance for losses is recognized when, based on current information and events, it is probable that will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the agreements. The allowance is calculated based on an individual analysis of the recoverability of the accounts receivable.

The estimate of the amount and the possibility of fulfillment are made considering the opinion of the legal counsels. When it comes to its mortgage-secured receivables, the Company applies the collateral’s realization value upon analyzing the recoverability of receivables with hints of uncollectibility.

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 financial statements reflect that consideration.

·  
For impairment of assets:
The Company regularly asses its non-current assets for recoverability at the end of every year.

The Company estimates the recoverable value of rental properties based on their economic use value, which is determined based on estimated future cash flows discounted. For the rest of the assets (inventories and undeveloped parcels of land) the Company makes a comparison with market values based on values of comparable properties. If the recoverable value of assets, which had been impaired in prior years, increases, the Company records the corresponding reversals of impairment loss as required by accounting standards.

·  
For lawsuits:
The Company has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor issues. 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 an effect on the Company's future results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

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

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”.

"Cumulative translation adjustments" corresponds to exchange rate differences generated by those investments in foreign companies that have been classified as non-integrated to the Company’s transactions.

“Long-term incentive program reserve”, corresponds to contributions accrued by the Company and its subsidiaries (at the participation rate), following the Long-term Incentive Program mentioned on Note 23.

The reimbursement of APSA’s expired dividends has been booked against “Retained earnings” proportionally to the Company’s interest (See Note 24 B.6 to the consolidated financial statements).

 
s.
Profit and loss accounts

The profit and loss for the year are shown as follows:

Amounts included in Statements of Income 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 equity investments were 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 No. 21.

Revenue recognition

t.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.
· 
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 recognize results until 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.

 
t.2.
Revenues from leases

Revenues from leases are recognized considering its terms and conditions and over the life of the related lease contracts.

In May 2006, Koad S.A. (“Koad”) and the Company entered into an asset exchange agreement valued at US$ 7.5 million pursuant to which the Company delivered to Koad a parcel in Caballito for the construction of a building complex to be named “Caballito Nuevo.”. As consideration therefore, Koad S.A. made a down payment of US$ 0.05 million and agreed to cancel the US$ 7.4 million balance by delivering 118 apartments and 68 parking spaces. To secure this transaction, Koad raised a US$ 7.5 million mortgage on the parcel that constitutes its subject matter and posted a surety bond for US$ 1.0 million. On October 15, 2010, Koad conveyed to IRSA full title, possession and ownership over the units agreed in the barter deed and the security interests that had been set up in that respect were cancelled.
 
During the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2011, several sale agreements had been subscribed, which measured the properties at their net realizable value and for which all deeds have been issued. During the fiscal years ended on June 30, 2012 and 2011 Ps. 1,415 and Ps. 5,790, respectively, were generated on this concept. As of June 30, 2012 the sale had been perfected upon execution of the deed of conveyance of 109 units and 50 parking spaces for which the respective preliminary sales agreements had been signed.

In March 2004, the Company sold (through subsidiaries) a parcel in Benavidez to Desarrolladora El Encuentro S.A. (DEESA) in exchange for (i) US$ 1.0 million in cash and (ii) 110 residential lots in the parcel to be subdivided by DEESA for US$ 3 million. On December 22, 2009 DEESA delivered the residential lots. In addition preliminary sales agreements have been signed which were recognized at their net realizable value, and recorded a gain of Ps. 1,369 and 3,732 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 the property rights has been recorded as public deed for 82 residential lots.

(Continued)

Proceeds from the contributions made by participants are transferred to an independent financial vehicle, especially organized and located in Argentina as Investment Fund approved by the National Securities Commission (CNV). Such funds are freely redeemable at the participant’s request.

Proceeds from the contributions made by the Company are transferred to another financial vehicle independent of and separate from the previous one. In the future, participants will have access to 100% of the plan benefits (i.e. including the Company’s contributions made in favor of the financial vehicle created ad hoc) under the following circumstances:

•     Regular retirement under applicable labor regulations
•     Full or permanent disability or incapacity
•     Demise

In the case of resignation or dismissal without just cause, the participant will obtain the amount resulting from the Company’s contributions only if they have participated in the plan for a minimum five-year term subject to certain conditions.

As of June 30, 2012 the Company had made contributions to the capitalization program for executive management for an amount of Ps. 380.

Long-Term Incentive Program

The Company has developed a long-term shared-based incentive and retaining plan for managers and key personnel, by means of contributions that will be made by the mentioned employees together with the Company. The Company intends, at its sole decision, to repeat the plan for one or two fiscal years with the same or different conditions, with the possibility of granting a share-based unrestricted extraordinary compensation to be paid uniquely in September 2014.

Participation in this plan comes from an invitation from the Board of Directors and it can be freely accepted by the invited participants. Once an employee accepts their invitation, they will be able to make a single annual contribution (based on their annual bonus). The suggested contribution is up to 7.5% of their bonus, being the Company’s contribution for the first year 10 times the employee’s contribution. Contributions and/or the Company’s shares purchased with these funds will be transferred to vehicles specially constituted with this purpose. The Company’s and employees’ contributions for the following fiscal years will be defined after the fiscal year-end.

NOTE 25:
ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRS”)

The National Securities Commission, (“CNV”, as per its Spanish acronym), through General Resolutions No. 562/9 and 576/10, has provided for the application of Technical Resolutions No. 26 and 29 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“F.A.C.P.C.E.”, as per its Spanish acronym), which adopt the IFRS, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), for companies subject to the public offering regime ruled by Law 17,811, due to the listing of their shares or corporate notes, and for entities that have applied for authorization to be listed under the mentioned regime.

Therefore, the Company is required to adopt IFRS as published by the IASB as from the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012, being the first interim financial statements as of September 30, 2012 and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

As specified by Technical Resolution No. 26 (“RT 26”) the Company will prepare separate financial statements by applying IFRS on an integral basis, with the exception established in RT 26 as to long-term investments. Such exception provides that investments in controlled companies, joint ventures and associated companies (entities where there is material influence, but there neither control nor joint control) are to be accounted for under the equity method described by IAS 28 “Investments in Associates”. This criterion differs from the provisions of paragraph 38 of IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements”, whereby such investments are to be stated at cost or fair value.

This difference with the IFRS is intended to have the same amounts of shareholders equity and net income resulting from a majority interest both in consolidated financial statements and the individual financial statements.

The items and/or amounts in the reconciliations included below are subject to change and should only be deemed final when the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS for the first time as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013 are issued.

IFRS 1 allows entities adopting IFRS for the first time to consider certain one-time optional exemptions to the retrospective application of certain IFRS for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. These exceptions have been foreseen by the IASB to simplify the first-time application of certain IFRS.

In Notes 26.1 and 26.2 to the consolidated financial statement there is a summary a of the optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions included in IFRS 1 applicable in the transition from Argentine GAAP to RT 26.

Report of Independent Auditors


To the Shareholders, President and Board of Directors of
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
Bolivar 108 – 1st floor - Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
C.U.I.T.: 30-52532274-9


1.  
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima at June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the years then ended and the complementary Notes 1 to 26 and Exhibits A to I. Furthermore, we have audited the consolidated financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries for the year ended on June 30, 2012, which are presented as complementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 
2.  
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards in force in Argentina. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and to form an opinion on the reasonableness of relevant information contained in the financial statements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We consider that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

3.  
As mentioned in Notes 26 to the consolidated financial statement and 25 to the basic financial statements attached, the items and figures reconciled in those notes are subject to changes and may only be considered final upon preparation of the annual financial standards for the year on which the International Financial Reporting Standards are applied for the first time.

4.  
In our opinion:

 
a)
the financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima set out in point 1. present fairly, in all material respects, its financial position at June 30, 2012 and the results of its operations, the changes in its shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Argentina approved by the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

 
b)
the consolidated financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries set out in point 1. present fairly, in all material respects, their consolidated financial position at June 30, 2012 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Argentina approved by the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

 
Report of Independent Auditors (Cont.)



5.  
On September 8, 2011 we issued our unqualified report on the balances at June 30, 2011, which are presented for comparative purposes. The figures corresponding to such fiscal year have been adjusted taking into account the criterion adopted in this fiscal year leading to the effects described in Note 1.5.o to the basic financial statements attached. We share that criterion since it matches the professional accounting standards in force in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
 
 
6.  
In accordance with current regulations we report that:

 
a)
the financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its consolidated financial statements have been transcribed to the “Inventory and Balance Sheet Book” and comply, as regards those matters that are within our competence, with the Corporations Law and pertinent resolutions of the National Securities Commission;

 
b)
the financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima arise from official accounting records carried in all formal respects in accordance with legal requirements that maintain the security and integrity conditions based on which they were authorized by the National Securities Commission;

 
c)

d)
at June 30, 2012, the debt accrued in favor of the Integrated Pension and Survivors’ Benefit System according to the accounting records and to the calculations performed by the Company amounted to Ps. 341,764, which was not claimable at that date.
