NOTE 1: BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION – CORPORATE CONTROL

 

  a. Basis of consolidation

 

The Company has consolidated its balance sheets at March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004 and the statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 line by line with the financial statements of its controlled companies, following the procedure established in Technical Pronouncement No. 21 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences and approved by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and by the National Securities Commission.

 

The consolidated financial statements for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 have not been audited. The Company’s management considers that they include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results for the periods referred to.

 

The consolidated results for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 do not necessarily reflect proportionality the Company’s consolidated results for the complete fiscal years.

 

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statements presented in comparative form were restated accordingly.

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  b. Acquisition and consolidation of related companies

 

On September 29, 2004, Alto Palermo (APSA) entered into a purchase-sale agreement for the purchase of 49.9% of the capital stock of Perez Cuesta S.A.C.I.. The transaction was approved by the National Commission for the Defense of Competition on November 17, 2004. As a result of this acquisition, Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) holds 68.8% of the capital stock of that company, the main activity of which is the operation of the Mendoza Plaza Shopping mall in the city of Mendoza.

 

Until the date of the above transaction, APSA held a 18.90% participation in the capital stock of Perez Cuesta S.A.C.I.

 

For purchase details, see Note 27.

 

NOTE 2: CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION

 

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

 

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

 

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

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

Comparative information

 

Balance sheet items at June 30, 2004 shown in these unaudited consolidated financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual consolidated financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.

 

The balances at March 31, 2005 of the Statements of Income, Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows are disclosed in comparative format with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

Certain amounts in the financials statements at June 30, 2004 and at March 31, 2004 were reclassified for disclosure on a comparative basis with those for the period ended March 31, 2005.

 

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

  a. Shares of Banco Hipotecario S.A.

 

Since June 30, 2004, as a consequence of the situation described in Note 17, the Company and Ritelco S.A. value the shares of Banco Hipotecario S.A. by the equity method of accounting.

 

  b. Revenue recognition

 

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

 

See Note 4 for details on the Company’s Operating business segments. As discussed in Note 1, the consolidated statements of income were prepared following the guidelines of Technical Resolution No. 21 of the F.A.C.P.C.E..

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

  b. (Continued)

 

  Leases and services from shopping center operations

 

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Tenants are generally charged a rent, which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly gross retail sales (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 8% of tenant’s gross sales).

 

Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 4% and 7% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of sales or based on a percentage of sales volume above a specified threshold. The Company determines the compliance with specific targets and calculates the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided for in the contracts. Thus, these contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.

 

Generally, the Company’s lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months. Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six months, upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, subject to penalties which vary from one to one and a half months rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of its lease, and one month of rent if the tenant rescinds after the first year of its lease. The Company also charges its tenants a monthly administration fee, prorated among the tenants according to their leases, which varies from shopping center to shopping center, relating to the administration and maintenance of the common area and the administration of contributions made by tenants to finance promotional efforts for the overall shopping centers operations.

 

Administration fees are recognized monthly when earned. In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged “admission rights”, that tenants may be required to pay upon entering into a lease and 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. Furthermore, the lease agreements generally provide for the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, advertising and certain common area maintenance costs. These additional rents and tenant reimbursements are accounted for on the accrual basis.

  Credit card operations

 

Revenues derived from credit card transactions consist of commissions and financing income. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed, while financing income is recognized when earned.

 

  Hotel operations

 

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

 

  c. Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets are carried at cost adjusted for inflation as mentioned in Note 2, less accumulated amortization. Included in the Intangible Assets caption are the following:

 

  Trademarks

 

Trademarks include the expenses and fees related to their registration.

 

  Pre-operating expenses

 

This item reflects expenses generated by the opening of new shopping malls. Those expenses are amortized by the straight-line method in periods ranging from 2 to 3 years for each shopping mall, beginning as from the date of inauguration.

 

  Property development expenses

 

Expenses incurred in relation to the selling of development properties, including advertising, commissions and other expenses, are charged to the results for the period in which the corresponding income is accrued, based on the percentage of completion method.

 

  d. Goodwill

 

The negative goodwill represents the market value of net assets of the subsidiaries at the percentage participation acquired in excess of acquisition cost. The goodwill has been restated following the guidelines mentioned in Note 1.4. to the basic financial statements and amortization has been calculated by the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of 20 years,

considering the weighted-average of the remaining useful life of identifiable assets acquired subject to depreciation.

 

Additionally, also included was the goodwill from the controlled company APSA, originating from the purchase of shares of Tarshop S.A. and Fibesa S.A., which is amortized through the straight-line method over a period of not more than 10 years.

 

Amortization has been classified under “Amortization of goodwill” in the Statements of Income.

 

NOTE 4: SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting. Accordingly, the Company has five reportable segments. These segments are Development and sale of properties, Office and other non-shopping center rental properties, Shopping centers, Hotel operations, and Others. As discussed in Note 1, the consolidated statements of income were prepared following the guidelines of Technical Resolution No. 21 of the F.A.C.P.C.E..

 

A general description of each segment follows:

 

  Development and sale of properties

 

This segment includes the operating results of the Company’s construction and ultimate sale of residential buildings business.

 

  Office and other non-shopping center rental properties

 

This segment includes the operating results of the Company’s lease and service revenues of office space and other non-retail building properties from tenants.

 

  Shopping centers

 

This segment includes the operating results of the Company’s shopping centers principally comprised of lease and service revenues from tenants. This segment also includes revenues derived from credit card transactions that consist of commissions and financing income.

  Financial operations and others

 

This segment primarily includes revenues and associated costs generated from the sale of equity securities, other securities-related transactions and other non-core activities of the Company. This segment also includes the results in equity investees of the Company relating to the banking activity, internet, telecommunications and other technology-related activities of the Company.

 

The Company measures its reportable segments based on operating income. Inter-segment transactions, if any, are accounted for at current market prices. The Company evaluates performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating income. The Company is not dependent on any single customer.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements and in Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 15: RESTRICTED ASSETS

 

On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. (indirect subsidiary of The Company) was notified of a filing made by the National Government, through the Ministry of Defense, to extend the petition in bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. (Indarsa) to Puerto Retiro S.A. Concurrently with the complaint, at the request of plaintiff, the bankruptcy court granted an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro S.A. to sell or dispose in any manner the real estate property near Puerto Madero denominated “Planta 1” which was acquired from Tandanor S.A. in June 1993.

 

Indarsa had purchased 90% of the capital stock of Tandanor, a formerly state owned company privatized in 1991, engaged in the shipyard industry.

 

Indarsa did not comply with the payment of the outstanding price for the purchase of the stock of Tandanor, and therefore the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Since the only asset of Indarsa was the shareholdings in Tandanor, the Ministry of Defense is pursuing to extend the bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro S.A..

 

The legal proceedings have practically reached the end of the time allowed to produce evidence. Puerto Retiro S.A. answered the complaint and appealed the provisional remedy, which was dismissed on December 14, 2000. The next steps will be the allegations and the handing down the sentence in original jurisdiction.

 

Management and the legal counsel of Puerto Retiro S.A. believe that the extension of the bankruptcy will be dismissed by the Court.

NOTE 15: (Continued)

 

As a result of the economic situation, the lack of credit and the crisis of the Argentine financial system, principal installments of US$ 300 falling due on January 26, April 29, July 29 and October 26, 2002; January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29, 2003; January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29, 2004 and the interest installments totaling US$ 1,515 falling due on July 29 and October 26, 2002; January 29, April 29, July 29 and October 29, 2003; January 29, April 29, July 29, and October 29, 2004; January 29 and April 29, 2005 were not paid. Although Hoteles Argentinos’ Management is renegotiating the debt with its creditors, as failure to pay the installments when due entitles the creditors to require acceleration of principal and interest maturities, the loan has been classified and is shown under current financial loans. On March 5, 2004, BANKBOSTON N.A. formally notified Hoteles Argentinos S.A. that as from March 10, 2004 it assigned to Marathon Master Fund Ltd., domiciled at 461 Fifth Avenue, 10th floor, New York, NY 10017, USA, all the rights and obligations arising from the loan agreement entered into on January 26, 2001 between Hoteles Argentinos S.A. as borrower and BankBoston N.A., as lender, together with all the changes, guarantees and insurance policies related to that contract.

 

On December 16, 2004 Ritelco S.A. purchased the loan of US$ 12,951 that our controlled company (80%) Hoteles Argentinos S.A. owed Marathon Master Fund, Ltd. for US$ 7,925.

 

On March 23, 2005 Ritelco S.A. sold the above loan to Credit Suisse First Boston (“CSFB”) for US$ 8,000, signing a Credit Default Swap contract between CSFB and the Company, which guarantees the payment of HASA’s debt and in the event of non-compliance establishes that the Company must repurchase this credit. In guarantee of compliance with the contract, the Company made a payment of US$ 2,000 to CSFB which is disclosed in the Other Non-current Credits caption.

 

Hoteles Argentinos S.A. has begun the process of restructuring and refinancing its debt, for which it must present a plan for the restructuring of the total debt prior to September 15, 2005, which will expire on March 23, 2009.

NOTE 16: TARSHOP CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLE SECURITIZACION

 

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

 

Under the securitization programs, the trust may issue two types of certificates representing undivided interests in the trust - Títulos de Deuda Fiduciaria (“TDF”) and Certificados de Participación (“CP”), which represent debt, and equity certificates, respectively. Interest and principal services are paid periodically to the TDF holders throughout the life of the security. CPs are subordinated securities which entitle the CP holders to share pro rata in the cash flows of the securitized credit card receivables, after principal and interest on the TDFs and other fees and expenses have been paid. During the revolving period no payments are made to TDF and CP holders. Principal collections of the underlying financial assets are used by the trust to acquire additional credit card receivables throughout the revolving period. Once the revolving period ends, a period of liquidation occurs during which: (i) no further assets are purchased and (ii) all cash collections are used to fulfill the TDF service requirements and (iii) the remaining proceeds are used to fulfill the CPs service requirements.

 

In consideration of the receivables transferred to the trusts, which have been eliminated from the Company’s balance sheet, Tarshop received cash (arising from the placement of the debt securities by the trusts) and the certificates issued by the trusts. The latter are recorded at their equity values at the closing of the period on the basis of the financial statements issued by the trusts.

 

NOTE 17: INCREASE IN OWNERSHIP OF BANCO HIPOTECARIO S.A.

This transaction implied a total disbursement of US$ 11.1 million.

 

Furthermore, on February 2, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary Ritelco S.A. exercised a substantial portion of the options acquired mentioned above, jointly with the options held before the end of the year. Accordingly, 4,773,853 shares for a total of Ps. 33.4 million were acquired.

NOTE 18: INVESTMENT IN IRSA TELECOMUNICACIONES N.V.

 

In the fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 2000, Ritelco S.A. had invested US$ 3.0 million, in the form of irrevocable capital contributions, into two unrelated companies, namely, Red Alternativa S.A., a provider of satellite capacity to Internet service providers, and Alternativa Gratis S.A., an Internet service provider (referred to herein as the “Companies”). At that date, the Companies were development stage companies with no significant operations.

 

Between July 2000 and August 2000, Ritelco S.A., together with Dolphin Fund Plc, increased their respective investments in the above mentioned Companies, in exchange for shares of common stock. In a series of transactions, which occurred between August 2000 and December 2000, (i) Ritelco S.A. formed IRSA Telecomunicaciones N.V. (“ITNV”), a holding company organized under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles, for the purposes of completing a reorganization of the Companies (the “Reorganization”) and (ii) Ritelco S.A., Dolphin Fund Plc and the previous majority shareholder of the Companies contributed their respective ownership interests in the Companies into ITNV in exchange for shares of common stock of ITNV.

 

In September and December 2000, Ritelco S.A. had made additional contributions to ITNV for US$ 3 million.

 

On December 27, 2000, the shareholders of ITNV entered into an agreement with Quantum Industrial Partners LDC (“QIP”) and SFM Domestic Investment LLC (“SFM” and together with QIP referred to herein as the “Investors”) (the “Shareholders Agreement”), under which the Investors contributed US$ 4.0 million in cash in exchange for 1,751,453 shares of Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and an option to purchase 2,627,179 additional shares of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, options were granted for a period up to five years and at an exercise price equal to the quotient of US$ 6.0 million by 2,627,179 preferred shares.

NOTE 18: (Continued)

 

As a result of the Reorganization, the Companies are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of ITNV and Ritelco S.A. holds a 49.36% interest in ITNV.

 

On or after December 27, 2005, ITNV might be required, at the written request of holders of the then outstanding Series A preferred stock to redeem such holders’ outstanding shares of series A preferred stock for cash at the greater of (i) 200% of the original issue price multiplied by the number of preferred stock to be redeemed, and (ii) the fair market value of the common shares each holder of Series A preferred stock would have been entitled to receive if such holder had converted the number of Series A preferred stock to be redeemed into common stock at the redemption date; plus in the case of (i) and (ii), any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends.

 

The investment in ITNV is valued at zero at the closing of the reported periods.

 

NOTE 19: MORTGAGE RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION

 

The Board of Directors of IRSA, in the meeting held on November 2, 2001, authorized the setting up of a financial trust for the securitization of Company receivables. The trust program for issuing participation certificates, under the terms of Law No. 24.441, was approved by the National Securities Commission by means of Resolution No. 13.040, dated October 14, 1999, as regards the program and in particular as regards the Trust called IRSA I following a decision of the Board of Directors dated December 14, 2001.

 

On December 17, 2001, IRSA, Inversora Bolívar S.A. and Baldovinos S.A. (hereinafter the “Trustors”) and Banco Sudameris Argentina S.A.

NOTE 21: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

Interest rate swaps

 

Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) uses certain financial instruments to reduce its global financing costs. Furthermore, APSA has not used the financial instruments to hedge future operations or commitments.

 

At March 31, 2005 and 2004, APSA held only one derivative financial instrument outstanding, an interest swap valued at its estimated settlement cost. The changes in this market value are computed in results.

 

In order to minimize its financing costs, APSA entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert a portion of its peso-denominated fixed-rate debt to peso-denominated floating rate debt. At March 31, 2001 the Company had an interest rate swap agreement outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of Ps. 85.0 million with maturity in April 2005. This swap agreement initially allowed APSA to reduce the net cost of its debt. However, subsequent to June 30, 2001, APSA modified the swap agreement due to an increase in interest rates as a result of the economic situation. Under the terms of the revised agreement, APSA converted its peso-denominated fixed rate debt to U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate debt for a notional amount of US$ 69.1 million with maturity in April 2005. As of March 31, 2005 the interest rate swap had an estimated settlement cost (fair value) of US$ 45.0 million (liability). This balance was totally paid on April 1, 2005 with the use of the guarantee deposit of US$ 50.5 million, with APSA collecting the difference of US$ 5.5 million in cash. During the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded profits amounting to Ps. 5.2 million and Ps. 13.9 million, respectively.

 

Options and future contracts to purchase metals

 

During the current period, Ritelco S.A. entered into future contracts for the purchase of silver. In accordance with its risk administration policies, Ritelco S.A. enters into future metal contracts for speculative purposes.

 

In guarantee of futures transactions, Ritelco S.A. maintains a guarantee deposit of Ps. 1,664 (Ps. 1,231 net of the holding results generated by the transactions).

 

Additionally, Ritelco S.A. signed purchase option contracts for metals for Ps. 1,253 with a market value at closing amounting to Ps. 337.

NOTE 25: PROVISION FOR UNEXPIRED CLAIMS AGAINST LLAO LLAO HOLDING S.A.

 

The company Llao Llao Holding S.A. (in the process of dissolution due to merger with IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima), predecessor of Llao Llao Resorts S.A. in the operation of the hotel complex “Hotel Llao Llao”, which was awarded by Resolution No. 1/91 issued by the National Parks Administration, was sued in 1997 by that Administration to obtain collection of the unpaid balance of the additional sale price, in Argentine external debt securities amounting to US$ 2,870. A ruling of the court of original jurisdiction sustained the claim. That ruling was appealed, and the Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment of the court of original jurisdiction, demanding payment from the company of the mentioned amount in Argentine external debt securities available at the date of the ruling, plus interest accrued through payment, and compensatory and punitive interest and lawyers’ fees.

NOTE 25: (Continued)

 

On March 2, 2004, the Company made a deposit of Ps. 7,191 in Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires in favor of the National Parks Administration and a transfer of Argentine external debt securities class FRB - FRB L+13/16 2005 for a total nominal value of US$ 4,127, equivalent to Ps. 1,964. The total amount settled on that date was Ps. 9,155.

 

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

 

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

 

The plaintiff’s lawyers filed a motion in relation to their fees in the case, as they understood that the amount agreed should have been paid in U.S. dollars and not in pesos, estimating the difference, in comparison with the amount already paid, in US$ 384. In a provisional remedy, an order was issued to attach the Company’s current accounts, which occurred in March 2005 in the amount of Ps. 788. These frozen funds are disclosed in the Other Current Receivables caption.

 

At March 31, 2005 the Company had an allowance set up for Ps. 4,643 as a result of an assesment made of the status of the lawsuit and on the basis of the estimates made by Management. The allowance recorded reflects the probable loss to be incurred as a result of the differences in the settlement of interest and expenses past due and unpaid.

For the nine – month periods beginning on

July 1, 2004 and 2003

and ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Amounts expressed in thousand

 

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

  1.1. Preparation and presentation of financial statements

 

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

 

The unaudited financial statements corresponding to the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 have not been audited. The Company´s Management estimates that all the necessary adjustments have been made to fairly present the results of each period.

 

The results for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 do not necessarily reflect proportionately the Company’s results for the complete fiscal years.

 

  1.2. Issuance of new technical pronouncement

 

On February 19, 2003, the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires approved Technical Pronouncement No. 21: “Equity Method Value – consolidation of financial statements – information to disclose on related parties” through Resolution M.D. No. 5/2003. This Technical Pronouncement and the modifications it amendments there to, became effective to the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Furthermore, the National Securities Commission has adopted that standard, making certain changes and establishing that it is applicable to fiscal years commenced as from April 1, 2004, admiting early application.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.3. Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management 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. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies. Future actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions prepared at the date of these unaudited financial statements.

 

  1.4. Recognition of the effects of inflation

 

The financial statements have been prepared in constant monetary units, reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. From that date and until December 31, 2001 the 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 must be restated through September 30, 2003. However, due to the low materiality 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 unaudited financial statements is the domestic wholesale price index published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.

 

  1.5. Comparative information

 

Balance sheet items at June 30, 2004 shown in these financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the audited annual financial statements corresponding to the year then ended.

 

Balances at March 31, 2005 shown in the Statement of Income, Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash flows are shown on a comparative basis with those for the same period of the previous year.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

 

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.6. Valuation criteria

 

  a. Cash and banks

 

Cash on hand has been valued at face value.

 

  b. Foreign currency assets and liabilities

 

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

 

Operations denominated in foreign currency are converted into pesos at the rates of exchange in effect at the date of settlement of the operation. Operations in foreign currency are shown in the Statement of Income under “Financial results, net.”

 

In accordance with Decree 214/02, certain assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars or other foreign currencies existing at January 6, 2002 were converted into pesos at the parity of Ps. 1 per US$ 1 and adjusted through application of the reference stabilization index (CER).

 

  c. Short-term investments

 

Time deposits have been valued at placement value plus financial results accrued based on the internal rate of return determined at that moment.

 

Short-term investments in debt securities and mutual funds were valued at their net realization value, except for the AR Discount bonds, corresponding to the participation in the exchange of the sovereign debt carried out by the Government, that were valued at their acquisition value as the issue of these bonds, originally envisaged for March 31, 2005 has been suspended as a result of a lawsuit that is being heard by the Court of Appeals of the Second District of the State of New York, United States of America.

 

  d. Trade receivables and accounts payable

 

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

 

  e. Financial receivables and payables

 

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

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.6. (Contd.)

 

  f. Other receivables and payables

 

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

 

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

 

As established by the regulations of the National Securities Commission and as mentioned above, deferred tax assets and liabilities have not been discounted. This criterion is not in accordance with current accounting standards in effect in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, which require that those balances be discounted. The effect resulting from this difference has not had a material impact on the financial statements.

 

Credits in kind:

 

The units relating to the building called “Edificios Cruceros” have been valued according to the accounting measuring standards corresponding to inventories receivable and it has been disclosed under the current portion of “Other Receivables”.

 

Liabilities in kind:

 

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

 

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

 

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

  h. Inventory

 

A property is classified as available for sale 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.

 

Residential, office and other non-retail properties completed or under construction are stated at cost, adjusted for inflation as mentioned in Note 1.4., or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs, construction overhead costs, interest on indebtedness and real estate taxes. Selling costs are deferred and charged to expense in the period in which the related revenue is earned, as determined under the percentage-of-completion method. Total contract costs are charged to expense in the period in which the related revenue is earned, as determined under the percentage-of-completion method. During the period ended March 31, 2005 interest costs of the property called “San Martín de Tours” were capitalized for Ps. 260. Previously in the financial period ended June 30, 2004 there have been no capitalizations of this item.

 

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.

 

At March 31, 2005, the Company maintains allowances for impairment of certain inventories, totaling Ps. 901 (identified as, Minetti D, Torres Jardín, Madero 1020 and parking lots in Dock 13).

 

The accounting value of inventories, net of allowances set up, does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at the end of the period.

 

  i. Long -term investments

 

  Investments in debt securities:

 

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

  i. (Contd.)

 

  Investments in shares of subsidiaries and related companies:

 

The long-term investments in subsidiaries and related companies detailed in Exhibit C have been valued by using the equity method of accounting based on the financial statements at March 31, 2005 issued by them. The accounting standards used by the subsidiaries to prepare their financial statements are the same as those used by the Company. The accounting standards used by the related companies to prepare their financial statements are those currently in effect.

 

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

 

As a result of the purchase of shares and the exercise of the options mentioned in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has reevaluated the accounting criterion used for the valuation of its participation in Banco Hipotecario S.A. and subsidiaries (Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A.), originally recognized at net realization value and restated acquisition cost, respectively. Taking into account the current participation of the Company in these entities, the exercise of significant influence on their decisions and the intention to maintain the participation as a long-term investment, the Company has valued its investment in these companies by the equity method of accounting. In accordance with the regulations of the BCRA and the contracts signed as a result of Banco Hipotecario S.A.’s financial debt restructuring process, there are certain restrictions on the distribution of profits by Banco Hipotecario S.A. to the Company.

 

  Certificates of participation in IRSA I financial trust:

 

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

  Undeveloped parcels of lands:

 

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

 

Land held for development and sale and improvements are stated at cost adjusted for inflation as mentioned in Note 1.4., or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Land and land improvements are transferred to inventories when construction commences.

 

At March 31, 2005 the Company maintains allowances for impairment of certain parcels of undeveloped land totaling Ps. 8,253 (identified as Padilla 902, Torres Jardín IV, Constitución 1111).

 

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

 

  j. Fixed assets

 

Fixed assets, net comprise primarily of rental properties and other property and equipment held for use by the Company.

 

Fixed assets value, net of allowances set up, does not exceed estimated recoverable value at the end of the period.

 

  Rental properties

 

Rental properties are carried at cost, adjusted for inflation as mentioned in Note 1.4., less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment at the end of the period. Costs incurred for the acquisition of the properties are capitalized. Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 50 years for buildings. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to results in the period incurred. Significant renovations and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the assets are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is disclosed in the statement of income.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

 

  k. Deferred financing cost

 

Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of debt and proceeds of loans have been deferred and are being amortized using the interest method over the life of the related issuances. In the case of redemption of these notes, the related expenses are amortized using the proportional method.

 

Amortization has been recorded under “Financial Results” in the statements of income as a greater financing expense.

  l. Customer advances

 

Customer advances represent payments received in advance in connection with the sale and rent of properties.

 

  m. Income tax

 

The Company has recognized the charge for income tax by the deferred tax liability method, recognizing timing differences between measurements of accounting and tax assets and liabilities (see Note 13).

 

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 unaudited financial statements.

 

Since it is unlikely that future taxable income will fully absorb tax loss carryforwards, the Company has recorded an impairment on a portion of that credit.

 

  n. Asset Tax

 

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

 

At March 31, 2005, the Company has estimated the asset tax, recognizing under “Other receivables” (non-current) the amount estimated to be offset as payment on account of income tax in future years in accordance with current regulations, and expensing the remaining balance.

  o. Allowances and Provisions

 

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

 

For impairment of assets: the Company regularly evaluates its non-current assets for recoverability. The Company considers that an impairment loss is recorded whenever the recoverable value is lower than book value. Impairment losses must be expensed against the result for the period. The recoverable value is mainly calculated using independent appraisals or projections of future cash flows. At the closing of last fiscal years, the Company determined the recoverable values of its non-current assets, recording a result for impairment of value or reversing the allowance that had been set up.

 

For lawsuits: the Company has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor and other matters. The Company accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date, the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of these matters and the Company’s lawyers’ experience in contesting, litigating and settling other matters.

 

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

 

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

  p. Shareholders’ equity accounts

 

Movements in shareholders’ equity accounts have been restated following the guidelines detailed in Note 1.4. until February 28, 2003. Subsequent movements are stated in the currency of the month to which they correspond.

 

The “Common stock” account was stated at historical nominal value. The difference between value stated in constant currency, following the guidelines detailed in Note 1.4., and historical nominal value is shown under “Inflation adjustment of common stock” forming part of the shareholders’ equity.

 

  q. Results for the period

 

The results for the period are shown as follows:

 

Income accounts 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 controlled and affiliated companies was calculated under the equity method, by applying the percentage of the Company’s equity interest to the results of such companies, with the adjustments for application of Technical Pronouncement 21.

 

  r. Advertising expenses

 

The Company generally charges the advertising and publicity expenses to results when they are incurred. Advertising and promotion expenses were approximately Ps. 251 and Ps. 165 for the periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

  t. Derivative financial instruments

 

In the past the Company used certain financial instruments to administer the risk related to its net investments in foreign activities and also as a complement to reduce its net financial costs. At present, the Company does not have operations with derivatives.

 

  u. Revenue recognition

 

u.1. Sales of properties

 

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

 

  the sale has been consummated;

 

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

 

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

 

  the Company has transferred the property to the buyer.

 

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

 

u.2. Leases

 

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

 

  v. Cash and cash equivalents

 

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

1. Corresponds to an unsecured loan for a total amount of US$ 51 million, which falls due on 20 November 2009, with the principal being amortized in 20 quarterly installments with a two-year grace period. US$ 35 million of the principal accrue interest at the LIBO rate over three months plus 200 basis points, and US$ 16 million accrue interest at a fixed rate that is progressively increased.

The Company settled the installment that fell due on February 22, 2005 amounting to US$ 0.9 million. Consequently, at March 31, 2005 the Company recorded a total balance of US$ 32 million, which correspond to US$ 36.5 million discounted at a market rate equivalent to 8% p.a.

The terms of the loan require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and conditions, specific debt/equity ratios; they also restrict certain investments, the making of payments, the procurement of new loans and the sale of certain assets and other capital investments. At March 31, 2005 the Company was in compliance with the requirements of the covenants established in the contract.
