1.  
General information

1.1  
The Group’s business and general information

Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud” or the “Company”) was founded in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company primarily engaged in providing rural and urban loans in Argentina and administering real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, the shares of Cresud were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders. From the 1960s through the end of the 1970s, the business of Cresud shifted exclusively to agricultural activities.

In 2002, Cresud acquired a 19.85% interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“IRSA”), a real estate company related to certain shareholders of Cresud. In 2009, Cresud increased its ownership percentage in IRSA to 55.64% and IRSA became Cresud’s principal subsidiary.

Cresud and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Group. See Note 1.3 of Exhibit I included in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 for a description of the Group’s companies.

As of December 31, 2012, the Group operates in two major lines of business: (i) Agricultural business, (ii) Investment and Development Properties business. See Note 6 of Exhibit I included in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 for a description of the Group’s segments.

The Group’s Agricultural business operations are comprised of crop production, cattle feeding, raising and fattening, milk production, sugarcane production and brokerage activities. The Group’s Agro-industrial business operations are conducted through its subsidiary, Cactus Argentina S.A., and are engaged in cattle feeding services in specialized feedlots primarily for third parties. Feedlots provide accommodation, health care and animal feeding services based on specialized diets. Cactus also uses the feedlot to finish own cattle prior to slaughter in owned slaughtering houses. The Group currently has agricultural operations and investments in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.

The business line known as urban property and investments also includes the Group’s financial transactions. The Group’s Investment and Development Properties business operations are conducted primarily through its subsidiary IRSA and IRSA’s principal subsidiary, Alto Palermo S.A. (“APSA”). Through APSA, the Group primarily owns, manages and develops shopping centers across Argentina. APSA has also a 20% stake in a credit card company. Through IRSA, the Group primarily owns, manages and develops a portfolio of office and other rental properties in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. Through IRSA or APSA, the Group also develops residential properties for sale. The Group, through IRSA, is also involved in the operation of branded hotels. The Group uses the term “real estate” indistinctively in these consolidated financial statements to denote investment, development and/or trading properties activities

General information (Continued)

In 2009, IRSA entered into the US real estate market, mainly through the acquisition of non-controlling interests in US assets, primarily office properties and hotel investments.

The Group’s financial transactions and transactions in other businesses are carried out mainly through its subsidiary IRSA and through APSA, which is IRSA’s main subsidiary. IRSA has also a 29.77% interest (without considering treasury shares) in Banco Hipotecario S.A. (“BHSA”). BHSA is a commercial bank offering a wide variety of banking activities and related financial services to individuals, small and medium-sized companies and large corporations, including the provision of mortgaged loans. BHSA’s shares are listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange. Additionally, APSA holds a participating interest of 20 % in Tarshop S.A. (“Tarshop”), whose main business comprises extending loans and credit cards.

Cresud’s and APSA’s shares are listed and traded on both the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (“BASE”) and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”). IRSA´s shares are listed and traded on both the BASE and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Cresud is the ultimate parent company and is a corporation incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of Argentina. The address of its registered office is Moreno 877, 23rd Floor, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

These consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2013.

2.  
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”)

2.1.
Basis of preparation and transition to 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (“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.

The Group is required to adopt IFRS as from the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012, being the current financial statements the first interim financial statements prepared under IFRS. Consequently, The Group’s transition date for the adoption of IFRS is July 1, 2011. This transition date has been selected in accordance with IFRS 1, “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”.

2.  
Basis of Preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and IAS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that the Group expects to adopt in its annual consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013. The accounting policies are based on IFRSs issued by the IASB and the interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretation Committee that the Group expects to become applicable on such date.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group were prepared in accordance with the Argentine accounting standards (Argentine GAAP) in force, which differ from IFRS in some areas. To prepare these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the Management of the Company has modified certain valuation and presentation accounting policies that were previously applied under Argentine accounting standards in to comply with the IFRS.

Comparative figures and the corresponding as of the transition date (July 1, 2011) have been modified to reflect such adjustments. The notes below include a reconciliation of shareholders’ equity figures of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the Argentine GAPP on the transition date (July 1, 2011), on the adoption date (June 30, 2012) and on the closing date of the comparative period (December 31, 2011) and the statement of income and other comprehensive income figures for the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2012 and for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, and those presented in accordance with the IFRS in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as well as the effects of the adjustments to cash flow.

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read together with the annual financial statements of the Group as of June 30, 2012 prepared in accordance with Argentine GAAP in force. Exhibit I included in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statement as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, present additional information as of June 30, 2012 and July 1, 2011 under the IFRS which is considered necessary to understand these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Argentine Pesos.

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements corresponding to the six-month periods ended as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 have not been audited. The management believes they include all necessary settlements to fairly present the results of each period. Results for the six-month periods ended as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 do not necessarily reflect proportionally the Group’s results for the complete fiscal years.

2.  
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

The format of the primary financial statements under Argentine GAAP is governed by Technical Resolutions 8 and 9 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Science (as per its Spanish acronym “FACPCE”) and Resolutions of the CNV. IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” requires certain disclosures to be made on the face of the primary statements and other required disclosures may be made in the notes or on the face of the financial statements, unless another standard specifies otherwise. The transition to IFRS has resulted in the Group changing the format of its statement of income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows, as well as the disclosure of certain line items not prescribed by Argentine GAAP.

2.2.
IFRS optional exemptions

As a general rule, the Group is required to establish its IFRS accounting policies for the year ended as of June 30, 2013 and apply these retrospectively. However, advantage has been taken of certain exemptions afforded by IFRS 1 “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” as further described below:

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 Group 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 Group elected not to restate the acquisitions of investments in associates or joint ventures prior to transition date.

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 Group elected to measure certain items of property, plant and equipment and investment property at price-adjusted values as at July 1, 2011.

2.  
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

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 Group adopted a cost-based policy for all of its assets. As such, the Group 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, and office 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”.

Exemption for cumulative translation/differences

IFRS 1 allows cumulative translation differences to be reset to zero on the transition date. This provides relief from determining accumulated exchange differences in accordance with IAS 21 “The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates”, from the moment a subsidiary or equity method investee was formed or acquired. The Group chose to reset all cumulative translation/differences to zero on the transition date.

Exemption for compound financial instruments

IFRS 1 provides 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 Group elected not to restate convertible debt instruments that were not outstanding at the date of transition.

Exemption for borrowing costs

IFRS 1 has been amended to permit first-time adopters not to restate borrowing costs capitalized at transition date under previous GAAP. The Group elected to apply the provisions of IAS 23 “Borrowing costs” prospectively from the date of transition.

Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

Exemption for assets and liabilities of subsidiaries

In accordance with IFRS 1, if a parent company adopts IFRS subsequent to its subsidiary, associate or joint venture adopting IFRS, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, associate or joint venture are to be included 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 for the Group’s accounting policies upon consolidation, as applicable. The Group’s associate, Tarshop, adopted IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Group´s joint venture, Cresca, adopted the IFRSs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Exemption for share-based payments

IFRS 2 – “Share Based Payments” applies to situations where an entity grants shares or share options to employees or to other parties providing goods and services and requires these payments to be recognized as an expense in the entity’s financial statements. A first time adopter is encouraged to apply IFRS 2 retrospectively. However, an entity may elect not to retrospectively apply IFRS 2 to equity instruments (equity settled transactions) granted on or before November 7, 2002. Similarly, while IFRS 1 encourages a first time adopter to apply IFRS 2 to equity instruments that were granted after November 7, 2002 and that vested before the later of (i) the date of transition and (ii) January 1, 2005, an entity may elect not to retrospectively apply IFRS 2 to these equity instruments. However, a first time adopter can only elect to retrospectively apply IFRS 2 to such equity instruments if it had previously disclosed publicly the fair value of those equity instruments, determined at the measurement date.

Based on this exemption, the Group did not apply IFRS 2 to equity instruments granted after November 7, 2002 and vested prior to transition date, i.e. July 1, 2011, as the fair value of those equity instruments had not been publicly disclosed.

The group has not used other optional exemptions of IFRS 1.

2.3.
IFRS mandatory exceptions

Set out below are the applicable mandatory exceptions in IFRS 1 applied in the transition from Argentine GAAP to IFRS:

Therefore the estimates made by the Group under previous GAAP were not revised for application of IFRS except where necessary to reflect any difference in accounting policies.

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 GAAP, the Group accounted for acquisitions of non-controlling interests that did not result in change of control as business combinations. Furthermore, under Argentine GAAP, the Group 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 Group did not restate these acquisitions 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 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 Group.

2.4.
Reconciliations of Argentine GAAP to IFRS

In accordance with the requirements of Technical Resolution No. 26 and No. 29 of FACPCE., set out below are the reconciliations of shareholders’ equity from Argentine GAAP to IFRS as of June 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and July 1, 2011, and the reconciliations of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the year ended as of June 30, 2012 and for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011. 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 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.

2.4.6. Presentation reclassifications affecting the statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 and for the year ended as of June 30, 2012

Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, the Company proportionally consolidated the joint ventures’ accounts. Consequently, a difference is generated between the amount of cash and cash equivalents reported in the main statement of cash flows under the Argentine GAAP and the amount of cash and cash equivalents that would be reported in the statement of cash flows prepared under IFRS.

On the other hand, under the Argentine GAAP, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents were disclosed as operating activities and not by presenting a fourth cash flow statement category as required by the IFRSs.

Additionally, pursuant to Argentine GAAP, proceeds from disposal of property, plant and equipment (including properties classified as investment properties under IFRS, were reported as operating activities. In accordance with IFRS, proceeds from disposal of investment properties and property, plant and equipment are reported as investing activities.

Finally, pursuant to Argentine GAAP, acquisition of non-controlling interest was reported as investing activities, whereas, in accordance with IFRS, it must be reported as cash flows from financing activities.

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

2.4.7. Explanation of the transition to IFRS

Argentine GAAP differs in certain significant respects from IFRS. Such differences involve methods of measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as further described below:

2.
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

 
(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 Group 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 result, the Group recognized a receivable for rent averaging of Ps. 52.0 million, Ps. 65.2 million and Ps. 78.5 million in the line item “Trade and other receivables” as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and as at June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 52.0 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 13.2 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 52.0 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 26.5 million was recognized in the statement of income.

 
(b)
Revenue recognition – “letting fees”

Argentine GAAP – The Group does not generally use the services of a third-party lease agent for its shopping center properties. Rather, the Group 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 Group) have signed the related lease contract.

IFRS – The Group 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.

2.
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

As a result, payments received from tenants for “letting fees” of Ps. 35.4 million, Ps. 39.5 million and Ps. 44.4 million were deferred in the line item “Trade and other payables” as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and as at June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 35.4 million was recognized against retained earnings and a loss of Ps. 4.1 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 35.4 million was recognized against retained earnings and a loss of Ps. 9.0 million was recognized in the statement of income.

 
(c)
Biological assets and agriculture produce at the point of harvest

Argentine GAAP – Technical Resolution No. 22 “Agriculture activities” establishes a hierarchy for the valuation of biological assets. The Group has several classes of biological assets.

Biological assets in the form of unharvested crops are measured at replacement cost less any impairment losses. Biological assets in the form of livestock held for sale or for meat production are measured at net realizable value. Biological assets in the form of breeding or dairy cattle are measured at replacement cost. Tree plantations are measured at cost. Argentine GAAP does not prescribe a separate measurement for agriculture produce at the point of harvest.

IFRS – The Group applied IAS 41 “Agriculture”. Under IAS 41, biological assets and agriculture produce at the point of harvest are measured at fair value less costs to sell on initial recognition and at each statement of financial position date, except where fair value cannot be reliably measured. Cost approximates fair value when little or no biological transformation has taken place since the costs were originally incurred or the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material. Changes in fair value less cost to sell are charged to income as incurred.

As a result, the Group adjusted all of its biological assets on the statement of financial position at fair value less costs to sell for an amount of Ps. 58.7 million, Ps. 19.5 million and Ps. 38.5 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized (i) a loss of Ps. 38.5 million in the statement of income, (ii) an amount of Ps. 0.8 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in statement of comprehensive income, and (iii) the remaining amount of Ps. 58.7 million against retained earnings. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group recognized (i) a loss of Ps. 17.0 million in the statement of income, (ii) an amount of Ps. 3.2 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in statement of comprehensive income, and (iii) the remaining amount of Ps. 58.7 million against retained earnings.

(d)
Inventories

Argentine GAAP – Inventories, primarily agricultural supplies, are valued at replacement cost. Changes in replacement cost are charged to income as incurred and disclosed on the face of the income statement in the line item titled “Unrealized gain on inventories”. In addition, harvested crops for the Group’s operations in Bolivia are measured at net realizable value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss.

IFRS - Consumable supplies are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of consumable supplies is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of hotel inventories is determined using the method first in–first out. In addition, harvested crops for the Group’s operations in Bolivia are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value because there is no an active market.

As a result, the Group reduced inventories by Ps. 6.7 million, Ps. 6.5 million and Ps. 5.4 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized: a gain of an amount of Ps. 0.2 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 6.7 million against retained earnings. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group recognized a gain for an amount of Ps. 1.3 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 6.7 million against retained earnings.

 
(e)
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 on unconditional exchange of contracts (transfer of title deed). For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.

As a result, the Group eliminated the effect of inflation adjustment on trading properties for an amount of Ps. 12.9 million, Ps. 10.2 million and Ps. 9.4 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 12.9 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 2.7 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 12.9 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 3.5 million was recognized in the statement of income.

On the other hand, the Group adjusted the revaluation of trading properties due to property contracts exchanged prior year-end and for which title had not been transferred as of that date, for an amount of Ps. 16.4 million, Ps. 27.1 million and Ps. 9.5 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized: a loss for an amount of Ps. 10.7 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 16.4 million against retained earnings. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group recognized an amount of Ps. 6.9 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 16.4 million against retained earnings.

 
(f)
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 for an amount of Ps. 22.8 million, Ps. 20.8 million and Ps. 22.8 million, as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively, were derecognized under IFRS. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized: a gain for an amount of Ps. 2.0 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 22.8 million against retained earnings. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group recognized an amount of Ps. 0.01 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 22.8 million against retained earnings.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Argentine GAAP – The Group accounted for acquisitions of businesses and non-controlling interests under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Group 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 2.2., the Group has applied the exemption in IFRS 1 for business combinations. Also, as noted in Note 2.3., the Group 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 totaling Ps. 29.1 million. There were no previously recognized intangible assets under Argentine GAAP that did not qualify for separate recognition under IFRS.

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 Group 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.

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 Group recognizes such amount as negative goodwill on the statement of financial position and amortizes it over the period considered to justify negative goodwill not exceeding 20 years.

Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

IFRS – As noted in Note 2.2., the Group has applied the exemption in IFRS 1 for business combinations. Also, as noted in Note 2.3., the Group 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 negative goodwill under IFRS as of July 1, 2011 is equal to the carrying amount under Argentine GAAP as of that date. 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 associates 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.

The Group adjusted the value of such goodwill for an amount of Ps. 770.8 million, Ps. 750.7 million and Ps. 709.4 million as of July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized (i) a loss of Ps. 19.1 million in the statement of income, (ii) an amount of Ps. 1.0 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in the statement of comprehensive income, and (iii) the remaining amount of Ps. 770.8 million against retained earnings. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group recognized (i) a loss of Ps. 60.4 million in the statement of income, (ii) an amount of Ps. 1.0 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in the statement of comprehensive income, and (iii) the remaining amount of Ps. 770.8 million against retained earnings.

 
(h)
Non-current investments – financial assets

Argentine GAAP – The Group holds investments in quoted equity securities 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.

2.
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

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

As a result, the Group adjusted the value of these equity securities to fair value by Ps. 151.4 million, Ps. 113.7 million and Ps. 138.2 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 151.4 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 37.8 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 151.4 million was recognized against retained earnings and a loss for an amount of Ps. 13.2 million was recognized in the statement of income.

 
(i)
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 Group 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, Ps. 0.9 million and Ps. 0.9 million, as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively, were added to investment property. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 0.7 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 0.2 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 0.7 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 0.2 million was recognized in the statement of income.

(j)
Tenant deposits

Argentine GAAP - The Group 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 3 years. The deposits generally range from one to three months of lease rentals. These deposits are treated as liabilities under Argentine GAAP and measured at the amount received by the tenants.

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 (deferred income). The deposits are subsequently measured at amortized cost, and deferred income is amortized under the straight line method over the lease term.

As a result, the Group adjusted the financial liability from tenant deposits within trade and other payables for an amount of Ps. 0.1 million, Ps. 0.2 million and Ps. 0.3 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized: a gain of Ps. 0.1 million in the statement of income and the remaining amount of Ps. 0.1 million against retained earnings. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group 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.

 
(k)
Commodity linked debt

Argentine GAAP – Under Argentine GAAP, there is no requirement to separate embedded derivatives from host contracts and account for them as derivatives. Borrowings are valued based on the best estimate of the discounted value of the amounts expected to be paid, using the interest rate effective at the time of the initial measurement.

2.
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

IFRS – IFRS 9 requires that an embedded derivative should be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if certain conditions are met. On September 7, 2011, the Group issued Class VIII NCN which are denominated in US$ for a nominal amount of US$ 2.1 million. Class VII notes accrue interest at a floor rate of 4% plus a premium factor equivalent to 40% of the increase in the price of soy during the period from March 2011 to March 2013. Under IFRS, the commodity-indexed feature is an embedded derivative that is not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument because the risks inherent in the derivative (price of soy) and the host are dissimilar. Therefore, the Group separated the commodity-indexed feature and classified it as a derivative liability. The Group measured the carrying value of the debt host contract at initial recognition as the difference between the consideration received and the fair value of the embedded derivative. Subsequently, the Group measured the host foreign-currency debt at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and then retranslated it at each reporting date using the closing US$/Peso exchange rate. The Group recognized changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative in profit or loss for the period / year.

As a result, the Group adjusted borrowings for an amount of Ps. 0.1 million, Ps. 0.1 million and Ps. 0.1 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 0.1 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 0.004 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 0.1 million was recognized against retained earnings and a loss of Ps. 0.03 million was recognized in the statement of income.

 
(l)
Impairment of financial assets

Argentine GAAP - As at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012 the Group maintains a balance of credit card loans. These loan receivables are carried at amortized cost. Under Argentine GAAP, the Group determined an allowance for loan losses based on specific criteria set forth for financial and banking institutions.

IFRS – The Group applied the impairment provisions in IFRS 9.

As a result, the Group recognized an impairment loss of Ps. 2.1 million, Ps. 2.3 million and Ps. 0.5 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 2.1 million was recognized against retained earnings and a loss of Ps. 0.2 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 2.1 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 1.6 million was recognized in the statement of income.

Present value accounting – tax credits

Argentine GAAP – Under Argentine GAAP, certain long-term tax credits are measurement at present-valued.

IFRS – Under IFRS, there is no requirement to discount long-term tax credits. The Group 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 Group eliminated the effect of discounting tax credits for an amount of Ps. 14.6 million, 11.7 million and Ps. 10.9 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 14.6 million was recognized against retained earnings and a loss of Ps. 2.9 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 14.6 million was recognized against retained earnings and a loss of Ps. 3.7 million was recognized in the statement of income.

 
(n)
Impact of IFRS adjustments on investment in associates

Argentine GAAP - Investments in entities in which the Group 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 Group applied its percentage ownership interest to the financial statements of its equity method investments prepared under Argentine GAAP.

As at June 30, 2012, the associates of the Group were Banco Hipotecario S.A. (BHSA), Banco de Crédito y Securitización (BACSA), Manibil S.A., New Lipstick LLC, Rigby 183 LLC, Tarshop S.A. and AgroUranga S.A., Agro Managers S.A. y Bitania 26 S.A..

IFRS - The Group has assessed all of its interests in the entities mentioned in the paragraph above and determined that the Group exercises significant influence over them. Accordingly, under IFRS, the Group also accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. However, the Group 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.

Following is a description of the most significant IFRS adjustments to the equity and comprehensive income of its 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 Group or no IFRS adjustments were identified:

Banking:

The Group assessed the financial statements of these associates as of July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012 and determined the following adjustments to IFRS:

- 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 has 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, December 31, 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 not recognized on a straight-line basis 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 reduction by Ps. 56.2 million, Ps. 92.9 million and Ps. 151.9 million as of July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized (i) an amount of Ps. 56.2 million against retained earnings, (ii) a loss of Ps. 34.7 million in the statement of income and (iii) an amount of Ps. 2.0 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in the statement of comprehensive income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group recognized (i) an amount of Ps. 56.2 million against retained earnings, (ii) a loss of Ps. 89.6 million in the statement of income and (iii) an amount of Ps. 6.1 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in statement of comprehensive income.

 
(o)
Impact of IFRS adjustment on 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 Group reflect the Group´s pro-rata equity interest in the jointly controlled entities on a line-by-line basis. The Group applied its pro-rata equity interest to the financial statements of its jointly-controlled entities prepared under Argentine GAAP.

Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

IFRS – The Group has assessed all of its interests in joint arrangements and determined that they are joint ventures under IFRS 11. Accordingly, the Group accounted for its joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Group 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 at June 30, 2012, the joint ventures of the Group are Cyrsa S.A., Cresca S.A., Canteras Natal Crespo S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A., Baicom Networks S.A., Quality Invest S.A., and Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A.

Following is a description of the most significant IFRS adjustments to the net equity and income of the joint ventures. For ease of presentation and to facilitate an understanding of the nature of the IFRS adjustments, joint ventures were grouped by business activity. Joint ventures are not discussed below when IFRS adjustments were not significant to the Group or no adjustments were identified:

- 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 Group 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. 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 Group´s joint ventures was decreased by Ps. 16.5 million, Ps. 16.2 million and Ps. 11.3 million as of July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 16.5 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 0.3 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 16.5 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 5.2 million was recognized in the statement of income.

(p)
Acquisition of non-controlling interest

As stated in Note 2.3., the Group has applied the exception provided by IFRS 1 for accounting for changes in the interest in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control. Consequently, acquisitions of non-controlling interests concluded prior to July 1, 2011 have not been restated.

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

Argentine GAAP – Under Argentine GAAP, the Group accounted for 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. Additionally, goodwill generated by the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Cactus Argentina S.A. was impaired and recognized as an expense in the statement of income under Argentine GAAP.

IFRS – Under IFRS, the Group has 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 Group does not recognize any additional acquisition adjustments to reflect the subsequent acquisition 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 a reserve in net equity. 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 of the subsidiary.

Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

As a result, as of December 31, 2011, the Group (i) derecognized goodwill for an amount of Ps. 26.5 million, (ii) recognized a decrease in non-controlling interest for an amount of Ps. 22.6 million, (iii) recognized a decline of Ps. 9.0 million in net assets acquired measured at fair value under Argentine GAAP in force and (iv) recognized a debit in shareholders’ equity under IFRS of Ps. 14.9 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, the Group: (i) derecognized goodwill for an amount of Ps. 39.8 million, (ii) recognized a decline of Ps. 26.2 million in non-controlling interest, (iii) recognized a decline of Ps. 9.0 million in net assets acquired measured at fair value in accordance with Argentine GAAP in force, and (iv) recognized a debit of Ps. 22.6 million in shareholders’ equity.

Additionally, for the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group reversed the impairment charge on goodwill generated by the acquisition of the non-controlling interest in Cactus Argentina S.A. recognized under Argentine GAAP for an amount of Ps. 10.5 million.

 
(q)
Disposal of non-controlling interest

As explained in Note 2.3., the Group has applied the exception provided by IFRS 1 for accounting for changes in the interest in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control. Consequently, disposals of non-controlling interests concluded prior to July 1, 2011 have not been restated.

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

Argentine GAAP – Under Argentine GAAP, the Group 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.

IFRS – Under IFRS, the Group has applied the principles of IFRS 10 in accounting for changes in ownership interests. As per IFRS 10, when there is a disposal of non-controlling interests that do not result in a change in control, the transaction is accounted for as an equity transaction. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received and the related carrying value of the non-controlling interest disposed is recognized in the controlling interest’s equity as a credit or debit. Therefore, no gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income. The carrying value of the non-controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the non-controlling interest of the subsidiary.

Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

As a result, as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Group reversed a loss for an amount of Ps. 2.7 million in the statement of income, and recognized a debit of Ps. 2.7 million in shareholders’ equity.

 
(r)
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 Group adjusted the carrying value of borrowings for an amount of Ps. 0.1 million, Ps. 0.7 million and Ps. 0.4 million as of July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As of July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 0.1 million was recognized against retained earnings and an amount of Ps. 0.6 million gain were recognized in the statement of income. For the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 0.1 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 0.3 million was recognized in the statement of income.

 
(s)
Settlement of BrasilAgro warrants

Argentine GAAP – Payments made by the Group for the settlement of BrasilAgro warrants were capitalized in the statement of financial position.

IFRS – In accordance with IFRS 2 “Share-based payments”, any payment made to a counterparty on the cancellation or settlement of a grant of equity instruments, even if this occurs after the vesting date, are accounted for as a repurchase of an equity interest (that is, as a deduction from equity), except to the extent that the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instruments repurchased, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

As a result, the Group adjusted the balance for an amount of Ps. 2.7 million as of June 30, 2012, against a deduction in the shareholders’ equity. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, no warrants issued by Brasilagro have been cancelled.

(t)
Cumulative translation adjustment

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. 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.
 
As a result, for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 the Group reclassified an amount of Ps. 12.7 million against the statement of income and the statement of other comprehensive income, related foreign operations. Additionally, the Group reclassified an amount of Ps. 32.5 million for the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2012 against the statement of income and the statement of other comprehensive income.

 
(u)
Deferred income taxes

Argentine GAAP – The Group 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 Group 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.

2.
Basis of preparation and adoption of international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) (Continued)

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 Group has not recognized deferred tax assets relating to any carry forward losses and other temporary differences for an amount of Ps. 16.5 million, Ps. 13.0 million and Ps. 18.8 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized (i) an amount of Ps. 16.5 million against retained earnings, (ii) a loss of Ps. 3.2 million in the statement of income, and (iii) an amount of Ps. 0.4 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in statement of comprehensive income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, the Group recognized (i) an amount of Ps. 16.5 million against retained earnings, (ii) a loss of Ps. 2.8 million in the statement of income, and (iii) an amount of Ps. 0.5 million against “Exchange differences on translating foreign operations” in statement of comprehensive income.

In addition, the Group has assessed the impact of all IFRS adjustments on deferred income taxes. As a result, the Group recognized an adjustment to deferred income taxes of Ps. 17.4 million, Ps. 3.9 million and Ps. 16.7 million as at July 1, 2011, December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively. As at July 1, 2011, the adjustment was recognized against retained earnings. For the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 an amount of Ps. 17.4 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 13.4 million was recognized in the statement of income. For the year ended as of June 30, 2012, an amount of Ps. 17.4 million was recognized against retained earnings and a gain of Ps. 0.6 million was recognized in the statement of income.

 
(v)
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.

2.5.  
Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the information under IFRSs as of June 30, 2012, which is described in Exhibit I included the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, and are based upon such IFRSs expected to be in force as of June 30, 2013. Most significant accounting policies are described in Exhibit I included in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2012 and 2011.

2.6.  
Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires the Management to make estimations and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these financial statements.

In the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same applied by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended as of June 30, 2012 which are described in Exhibit I included in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2012 and 2011.

3.  
Seasonal effects on operations

The operations of the Group’s agricultural business are also subject to seasonal effects. The harvests and sale of grains (corn, soybean and sunflower) generally take place between February and June every year. Wheat is generally harvested between November and January. In Bolivia, weather conditions make it possible to have two soybeans, corn and barley seasons and, therefore, these crops are harvested in April and October, whereas wheat and sunflower are harvested in August and September, respectively. Other segments of the agricultural business, such as beef cattle and milk production tend to be more stable. However, beef cattle and milk production is generally larger during the second quarter, when conditions are more favorable. As a result, there may be material fluctuations in the agricultural business results across quarters.

3.  
Seasonal effects on operations (Continued)

The operations of the Group’s shopping centers are also subject to seasonal effects, which affect the level of sales recorded by lessees. During summer time (January and February), the lessees of shopping centers experience the lowest sales levels in comparison with the winter holidays (July) and December (Christmas) when they tend to record peaks of sales. Apparel stores generally change their collections during the spring and the fall, which impacts positively on shopping mall sales. Sale discounts at the end of each season also affect the business. As a consequence, a higher level of revenues is generally expected in the second half of the year rather than the first in shopping center operations.

4.           Acquisitions and dispositions

Sale of farm

On November 14, Vargas Derka SH made an irrevocable offer to Cresud to purchase a portion of “La Suiza” farm ranch (5,600 hectares) to be good through January 31, 2013.

The offer price amounts to US$ 6.7 million to be paid in 6 installments every six months. The first installment is due on January 31, 2013 and bears interest at a 12% rate.

As bid bond, Cresud has received checks in the amount of US$ 0.3 million or 5% of the transaction price.

The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest in IRSA as of the acquisition date was Ps. 948 (representing an equity interest of 35.8%). This resulted in a decrease in non-controlling interest of Ps. 8.0 million and an increase in equity attributable to owners of the parent of Ps. 8.0 million. The effect of changes in the ownership interest of IRSA on the equity attributable to owners of the group during the period is summarized as follows:

Acquisitions and disposals (Continued)

Acquisition of equity interest in joint venture

On November 29, 2012 APSA acquired shares of common stock, representing 50% of Entertainment Holdings S.A. (“EH”)´s capital stock and votes for Ps. 32 million. APSA exercises joint control over EH together with shareholders owners of the remaining 50%.

EH’s core asset is a 50% indirect interest in La Rural S.A. (“LRSA”)’s capital stock and votes. EH exercises joint control over LRSA, together with Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA), the owner of the remaining 50% interest in LRSA.

Therefore, APSA´s indirect interest in LRSA amounts to 25% as of the date of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

LRSA is mainly engaged in the operation of Predio Ferial de Buenos Aires, a fairground located in an area surrounded by Cerviño, Sarmiento, and Santa Fe Avenues and Oro Street, City of Buenos Aires (the “Fairground”). LRSA is the beneficiary of said Fairground under a usufruct agreement executed with the owner thereof, SRA, in 1999.

Purchase of financial assets

During this period the Group purchased the following corporate notes from:

a) The Government of the City of Buenos Aires, for a nominal value of Ps. 19.0 million. These notes accrue interest at an annual 7.95% fixed rate, payable semi- annually and maturing on April 29, 2014.

b)  Banco Hipotecario for Ps. 5 million, which accrue interest at an annual 18.75% fixed annual rate, payable semi- annually and maturing on August 8, 2013.

Disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

In September 2012 the Group sold 2,000,000 ordinary shares of Hersha, Hospitality Trust (Hersha) for a total amount of US$ 9.7 million. Therefore, the Group’s interest in Hersha’s capital stock decreased from 9.13% to 8.12% as of September 30, 2012. This percentage has remained unchanged as of the date of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the Group disposed of an additional number of Hersha’s shares. See Note 33.

Significant sale of investment properties

On August 31, 2012, the Group sold through IRSA sold certain functional units of the building “Libertador 498” in the city of Buenos Aires. The total price of the transaction amounted to Ps. 15 million and was paid on the execution of the title conveyance deeds. This transaction generated a gain of Ps. 12.7 million.

On September 14, 2012, IRSA sold certain functional units on floors 18 and 19, as well as parking areas, of the building Bouchard 551. The total price of the transaction was US$ 8.5 million paid upon execution of the conveyance deed. This transaction generated a gain of Ps. 18.4 million.

On October 4 and 11, 2012, IRSA signed the deeds of conveyance for the sale of certain units (offices and parking spaces) at the “Libertador 498” building. The prices for the transactions were set in Ps. 29.4 million, an amount that has been totally collected. The transaction yielded profits for Ps. 24.9 million.

Subsequent to December 31, 2012, IRSA disposed of other investment property.

Acquisition of Rigby 183 LLC

On June 30, 2012, the Group held, through its subsidiary IMadison LLC, a 49% equity interest through its subsidiary IMadison LLC in the capital stock of Rigby 183 LLC (“Rigby”), a company that owns office buildings for rental at Madison Avenue 183, New York, USA. On November 27, 2012, the Group, through its subsidiary IRSA International LLC, purchased an additional 25.5% equity interest in Rigby’s capital stock, thus taking control over said company. As a result of the acquisition, the Group expects to increase its footprint in the US real estate market. The goodwill from the acquisition, which amounts to Ps. 45.7 million, is attributable to the synergies expected to be achieved by combining the Group’s and Rigby’s operations.

The acquisition-related costs (which amount to Ps. 2.5 million) were charged to income under “General and Administrative Expenses”.

The fair value of the investment property acquired for Ps. 679.2 million was assessed by a qualified independent appraiser. The fair value of trade receivables and other receivables amounts to Ps. 14.1 million, including trade receivables in the amount of Ps. 0.1 million. As of the acquisition date, the Group estimates that these receivables are recoverable. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Rigby, an unlisted company, has been determined on a proportional basis to the fair value of Rigby's net acquired assets.

The Group recognized income of Ps. 124.1 million derived from the reassessment of the fair value of the 49% interest held in Rigby before the business combination. In addition, all exchange gains (losses) accumulated in shareholder’s equity from the interest held in Rigby before the business combination (Ps. 12.9 million) were charged to income. These gains were disclosed under "Other operating income, net" in the income statement.

If Rigby had been included in the consolidation since July 1, 2012, the consolidated income statement would have shown pro-forma revenues in the amount of Ps. 1,101.4 million and pro-forma net income of Ps. 244.2 million.

Interests in joint ventures

As of December 31, 2012 the joint ventures of the Group are Cresca, Canteras Natal Crespo S.A., Cyrsa S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A., Baicom Networks S.A., Quality Invest S.A., Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. (NPSF) and Entertainment Holdings S.A.. The shares in these joint ventures are not publicly traded.

As of June 30, 2012, the joint ventures of the Group were Canteras Natal Crespo S.A., Cyrsa S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A., Baicom Networks S.A., Quality Invest S.A. and NPSF.

As noted Note 4, APSA acquired shares of common stock, representing 50% of Entertainment Holdings S.A. (“EH”)´s capital stock and votes and as a consequence APSA holds a jointly indirect interest in LRSA of 25% which operates the fairground Predio Ferial de Buenos Aires.

In connection with the Fairground, as publicly known, in December 2012 the Executive Branch issued Executive Order 2552/12 that annulled an executive order dated 1991 which approved the sale of the Fairground to the SRA; the effect of this new order was to revoke the sale transaction. Subsequent to December 21, 2012, the Executive Branch notified the SRA of said executive order and further ordered that the property be returned to the Federal Government within 30 subsequent days. Then, the SRA issued a press release publicly disclosing the initiation of legal actions.

Neither has APSA been served notice formally nor is it a party involved in the legal actions brought by the SRA.

As of the date of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the above mentioned legal matters resulted in certain delays in gathering the information necessary to register the acquisition pursuant to IFRS 3. Therefore, APSA has prudently decided to record its investment at cost. APSA expects to complete the fair value computation on net assets acquired during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Current income tax                                                                            
    (115,044 )     (113,599 )
Deferred income tax                                                                            
    85,714       91,192  
Minimum Presumed Income Tax ("MPIT")                                                                            
    -       (233 )
Income tax expense                                                                            
    (29,330 )     (22,640 )

June 30, 2012
 
Beginning of the period/year                                                                            
    (549,337 )     (746,027 )

End of the period/year

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of Ps. 41.3 million and Ps. 48.9 million as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Although management believes that it will become profitable in the foreseeable future, as a result of the history of recent losses incurred during the development phase of the different Group’s business operations and the lack of verifiable and objective evidence due to the limited operating history of the Group itself, the Board of Directors has determined that there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to utilize the losses within a reasonable timeframe, therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized in relation to these losses.

Legal address: Moreno 877 - 23° floor - Autonomous City of Buenos Aires


1.  
We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of income, unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2012, and unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of changes of shareholders’ equity and unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 and selected explanatory notes. The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and the interim periods within that fiscal period are an integral part of these financial statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to these financial statements.

2.  
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board were adopted as accounting standards by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences and incorporated by the National Securities Commission to its regulations.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on the review that we have performed with the scope detailed in paragraph 3.

3.  
We conducted our review in accordance with Technical Resolution No. 7 issued by the FACPCE for a review of interim financial statements. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is to express an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

4.  
As mentioned in Note 2.1 to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 will be the first year of application of IFRS. The adjustments and other effects of the transition to IFRS are presented in Note 2.4 to these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The amounts included in the reconciliations shown in Note 2.4 are subject to change as a consequence of potential changes in IFRS which may occur until June 30, 2013, and should only be considered as final upon issuance of the annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

1.  
General information

1.1  
The Group’s business and general information

Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud” or the “Company”) was founded in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company primarily engaged in providing rural and urban loans in Argentina and administering real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, the shares of Cresud were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders. From the 1960s through the end of the 1970s, the business of Cresud shifted exclusively to agricultural activities.

Cresud is a company organized and domiciled in the Republic of Argentina. The address of its registered office is Moreno 877, 23rd Floor, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on February 18, 2013.

2.  
Basis of preparation and adoption of Technical Resolution No. 26 (“RT 26”)

2.1.
Basis of preparation and transition to RT 26

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 International Financial Reporting Standards (“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.

The Company is required to adopt IFRS as from the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012, being these financial statements the first interim financial statements for the six-month periods prepared under IFRS. The Company’s transition date for the adoption of IFRS as defined by IFRS 1, First time adoption of IFRS, is July 1, 2011.

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements of the Company for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with RT 26 of F.A.C.P.C.E., adopted by CNV. This Technical Resolution differs from International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, issued by IASB, in reference to the accounting measurement criteria of the investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, which are 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 measured at cost or fair value.

2.  
Basis of preparation and adoption of Technical Resolution No. 26 (“RT 26”) (Continued)

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies that the Company expects to adopt in its annual consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013. The accounting policies are based on IFRSs issued by the IASB and the interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”) that the Group expects to become applicable on such date.

The separate consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with the Argentine accounting standards (Argentine GAAP) in force, which differ from IFRS in some areas. To prepare these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements, the Management of the Company has modified certain valuation and presentation accounting policies that were previously applied under Argentine accounting standards in order comply with the IFRS.

Comparative figures and figures as of the transition date (July 1, 2011) have been modified to reflect such adjustments. The notes below include a reconciliation of shareholders’ equity figures of separate financial statements prepared in accordance with the Argentine GAAP on the transition date (July 1, 2011), on the adoption date (June 30, 2012) and on the closing date of the comparative period (December 31, 2011) and the statement of income and other comprehensive income figures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011, and those presented in accordance with the RT 26 in these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements, as well as the effects of the adjustments to cash flow.

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements should be read together with the annual financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2012 prepared in accordance with Argentine accounting standards in force. Exhibit I, included in Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statement as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, presents additional information as of June 30, 2012 and July 1, 2011 under IFRS which is considered necessary to understand these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements. These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements are expressed in Argentine Pesos.

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements for the six-month periods ended as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 have not been audited. The Company´s management believes they include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period. Results for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 do not necessarily reflect proportionally the Company´s results for the complete fiscal year.

2.  
Basis of preparation and adoption of Technical Resolution No. 26 (“RT 26”) (Continued)

The format of the primary financial statements under Argentine GAAP is governed by Technical Resolutions 8 and 9 of the “FACPCE” and Resolutions of the CNV. IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements requires certain disclosures to be made on the face of the primary statements and other required disclosures may be made in the notes or on the face of the financial statements, unless another standard specifies otherwise. The transition to Technical Resolutions No. 26 has resulted in the Company changing the format of its Statement of Income, statement of financial position and statement of cash flows, as well as the disclosure of certain line items not prescribed by Argentine GAAP.

2.2. 
Initial elections upon adoption of Technical Resolution No. 26 (“RT 26”)

As a general rule, the Company is required to establish its IFRS accounting policies for the year ended as of June 30, 2013 and apply these retrospectively. However, advantage has been taken of certain exemptions and exceptions afforded by IFRS 1.

In Notes 2.2. and 2.3. to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company indicates the exemptions and exceptions that are applicable in IFRS 1 and that have been applied in the transition from Argentine GAAP to RT 26.

2.3. 
Reconciliations of Argentine GAAP to Technical Resolution No. 26 (“RT 26”)

In accordance with the requirements of Technical Resolution No. 26 and No. 29 of FACPCE., set out below are the reconciliations of shareholders’ equity in accordance with Argentine GAAP and RT 26 as of June 30, 2012, as of December 31, 2011 and as of July 1, 2011, and the reconciliations of comprehensive income and cash flows for the year ended as of June 30, 2012 and for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011. 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 amounts in the reconciliations included below are subject to change and should only be deemed final when the consolidated financial statements prepared under RT 26 for the first time as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013 are issued.

The items and 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.

The first reconciliation provides an overview of the impact on equity of the transition as of July 1, 2011, as of December 31, 2011 and as of June 30, 2012 (Note 2.3.1). The second reconciliation provides an overview of the impact on net income for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 and for the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2012 (Note 2.3.2). The third reconciliation provides an overview of the impact on comprehensive income for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 and for the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2012 (Note 2.3.3).

2.3.6.  
 Presentation reclassifications affecting the statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2011 and for the year ended as of June 30, 2012

Under the Argentine GAAP, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents were disclosed as operating activities and not by presenting a fourth cash flows statement category as required by RT. 26.

Pursuant to Argentine GAAPs, collected from the sale of property, plant and equipment (including properties classified as investment property under RT No. 26) was reported as operating activities. In accordance with RT No. 26, collected from the sale of property, plant and equipment are reported as investment activities.

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

(g) Impact of RT 26 adjustments on investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

Argentine GAAP - Investments in entities in which the Company exercises 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.

RT 26 – As in mentioned in Note 2.1 the Company also accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting. However, the Company has assessed the impact of RT 26 adjustments on the financial statements of these investments prepared under Argentine GAAP prior to the application of the equity method.

To the Shareholders, President and Board of Directors of

CUIT: 30-50930070-0
Legal address: Moreno 877 - 23° floor - Autonomous City of Buenos Aires


1.  
We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited condensed interim separate statement of financial position of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria as of December 31, 2012, and the related unaudited condensed interim separate statements of income, unaudited condensed interim separate statements of comprehensive income for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2012, and unaudited condensed interim separate statements of changes of shareholders’ equity and unaudited condensed interim separate statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 and selected explanatory notes. The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and the interim periods within that fiscal period are an integral part of these financial statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to these financial statements.

2.  
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements in accordance with professional accounting standards of Technical Pronouncement No. 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences added by the National Securities Commission to its regulations. Those standards differ from the International Financial Reporting Standards and, especially, from the International Accounting Standard No 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) approved by the International Accounting Standard Board and used for the preparation of the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria with its subsidiary as to the aspects mentioned in note 2.1 to the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements attached. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on the review that we have performed with the scope detailed in paragraph 3.

3.  
We conducted our review in accordance with Technical Resolution No. 7 issued by the FACPCE for a review of interim financial statements. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is to express an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

►  
Income before financial income / (loss) and income tax recorded an increase close to 52.2%, up from ARS 374.1 million to ARS 569.5 million for the first six months of 2013. This is mainly explained by a 20.9% increase in gross income, reflecting the positive performance of the Agricultural and Urban segments, which rose ARS 112.0 million.
►  
In addition, there was increase of ARS 29.0 million in Results from sale of investment properties from our subsidiary IRSA and of ARS 26.2 million in Results from sale of farms from BrasilAgro.
►  
On the other hand, during this semester Other operating income grew by ARS 95.3 million, explained mainly by results derived from the business combination in IRSA, which has started to consolidate the entire building located in Madison 183, City of New York, during this quarter.
►  
There was an increase in the negative impact of Financial income / (loss), net, which rose from a loss of ARS 328.1 million in the first six months of 2012 to a loss of ARS 363.4 million in the first six months of 2013, mainly due to losses from exchange rate differences and higher interest charges, offset by positive results from the valuation of financial assets held by our subsidiary IRSA (mainly Hersha and Supertel).
►  
As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to Cresud’s shareholder totaled ARS 60.7 million during this period, compared to a loss of ARS 20.7 million in the first six months of 2012.

►  
As results are reported in compliance with the IFRS, total segment income / (loss) differs from total consolidated results. This is due to the fact that results by segment include consolidated results from our joint businesses. This consolidation is made proportionally according to our interest in each business. The impact refers mainly to our agricultural businesses in Paraguay and various urban real estate businesses related to our subsidiary IRSA.
►  
Gross income from the Agricultural segment increased 55.5%, up from ARS 69.7 million during the first six months of 2012 to ARS 108.5 million during the first six months of 2013, mainly due to an increase of ARS 32.0 million in the Grains segment, an increase of ARS 21.5 million in the Sugarcane segment, a fall of ARS 11.6 million in the Beef Cattle segment, a fall of ARS 5.6 million in the Milk segment and an increase of ARS 2.6 million in the other Agricultural segments. In turn, gross income from the Urban segment showed a stable growth of 17.5%.
►  
On the other hand, we recorded a higher Result from sale of farms thanks to the sale of the “Horizontina” establishment owned by our subsidiary BrasilAgro, compared to the sale of the “Sao Pedro” farm occurred during the first six months of 2012.
►  
This was offset by other operating losses related to hedge transactions carried out by our subsidiary BrasilAgro, which had generated income for approximately ARS 25.0 million during the first six months of 2012 compared to income for ARS 0.8 million during the first six months of 2013. It should be noted that these results refer to futures executed to hedge against production for this season.
►  
Therefore, operating income grew from a loss of ARS 4.8 million in the first six months of 2012 to an income of ARS 2.4 million for the first six months of 2013 in the Agricultural segment.
►  
Through the Urban segment, our subsidiary IRSA recorded significant operating income, which increased 52.0%, to ARS 562.6 million. This increase derives mainly from the Sales and Developments segment and the Shopping Centers segment.
►  
In addition, operating income rose driven by income from interests in equity investees and joint businesses, reaching a total segment income of ARS 572.3 million, 49.8% higher than in the last fiscal year.

►  
The increase of ARS 32.0 million in Gross Income from the Grains segment is explained by higher holding results close to ARS 18.2 million, higher income from sales of ARS 4.4 million and higher production results for ARS 9.4 million.
►  
Out of the ARS 18.2 million increase in holding results, ARS 12.0 million refer to operations in Argentina, reflecting the rise in the corn valuation prices considering export prices vs. the values of the same crop in the domestic market, while the balance refers to BrasilAgro, thanks to the rise in corn and soybean prices in general.
►  
Income from sales derives mostly from the businesses in Argentina (increase of ARS 9.3 million) offset by a fall in the businesses in Brazil (fall of ARS 5.3 million). In general, this is due to higher sales of grains in Argentina, which grew by 3.9% reaching 222,692 tons, accompanied by higher commodity prices.
►  
Production results rose nearly ARS 9.4 million, thanks to an increase of ARS 3.2 million from Argentina and ARS 7.2 million from Brazil, offset by a loss of ARS 1.0 million from Bolivia. Although production amounts fell in general, positive results were recorded thanks to the increase in prices and projected results from sowings.
►  
The higher Gross Income in the grains segment was offset by results from hedge transactions carried out by our subsidiary BrasilAgro, which had generated income for approximately ARS 25.0 million during the first six months of 2012 compared to income for ARS 0.8 million during the first six months of 2013. It should be noted that these results refer to futures executed to hedge against production for this season.
►  
The Sugarcane segment increased ARS 21.5 million, mainly due to production results that consider projected income from production of this crop in the farms purchased in Bolivia during the past season. During the 2011-2012 season, production of sugarcane in our farms in Bolivia was still incipient. Following land preparation and the implementation of this business model, during the 2012-2013 season we started production with a larger number of hectares assigned to this crop.

The area in operation projected for the crops segment increased by 7.0%, reaching 214,855 hectares. This was mainly due to an increase in the area in operation in our own farms, close to 6.4% and the increase in the area consisting of leased farms and under concession (4.9% and 25.3% respectively). Additionally, area of own farms and farms under concession leased to third parties grew by 7.9% compared to last season.
►  
The area of own farms increased mainly due to the expansion in productive areas in Argentina and Brazil. In the case of Argentina, it involved an expansion made in Los Pozos and in La Suiza. Part of the new agricultural areas in Los Pozos were given on lease to third parties. In Brazil, it involved an expansion, a part of which was given on lease to third parties. Additionally, we have an expansion projected in Paraguay.
►  
This was offset by less areas sown for second harvest and by the sell of a farm in Bolivia that took place during Fiscal Year 2012.
►  
We have increased the area in operation assigned to agricultural production in the farms of Agropecuaria Anta (long term concession granted to Cresud) with more than 11,000 hectares in operation in this farm during this season. In addition, in this farm we gave 10,785 agricultural hectares on lease to third parties.

►  
The fall in Gross Income from the Beef Cattle segment is explained on the one hand by the negative effect in holding results, and on the other, by lower results from sales and production.
►  
The fall in holding results reflects the lower beef cattle prices prevailing in the market as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
►  
During the first six months of 2012 we sold live beef cattle to realize income derived from the increase in prices; however, during the first six months of 2013 our sales were lower as prices were less attractive. In addition, the fall in beef cattle production is mainly explained by lower stocks.

►  
The decrease in the area is explained by the transformation of areas assigned to beef cattle that were converted into agricultural areas in Los Pozos farm and because we leased to third parties areas in La Suiza that we operated last season.
 
 
►  
Additionally, we developed new areas in Preferencia that were given as lease to third parties for pastures. As a consequence the areas leased to third parties reached almost 14,000 hectares.

Land transformation, in general, led to a fall of 2.6% in the total area assigned to beef cattle production.

►  
The decrease in gross income from the milk segment is mainly due to the lower productivity levels of our milking facility, principally caused by excessive rainfall levels recorded in the area, which affected our operations.
►  
On the other hand, costs increased due to inflation, whereas prices for the sale of milk grew at a lower rate.
►  
There has been a slight fall in the production of milk by milking cow per day. This notwithstanding, the levels of more than 20 liters by milking cow per day still exceed the targets set following the consolidation of operations in our state-of-the-art milking facility.

►  
Under Result from sale of farms we recognized the sale of “Sao Pedro” farm owned by our subsidiary BrasilAgro during the first quarter of the previous fiscal year, and the sale of the “Horizontina” farm during the second quarter of this fiscal year. Both farms belonged to our subsidiary BrasilAgro.
►  
In October, the sale of the “Horizontina” farm, with a surface area of 14,359 hectares, located in the State of Maranhão, was announced. The transaction was agreed upon for a total amount of BRL 75.0 million, BRL 27 million of which were collected upon consummating the sale, and the balance of BRL 48.0 million was paid in January 2013. As of June 30, 2012, the asset was valued at BRL 46.0 million, the results from the sale were ARS 53.9 million. This transaction reflects a full development cycle, in which the acquisition, development, production and sale stages generated an Internal Rate of Return (real estate + production) of approximately 27%.
►  
In February 2013, Cresud executed a preliminary sale agreement for a portion of the “La Suiza” farm, which has an area of 5,613 hectares allocated to beef cattle operations and 36,380 hectares intended for mixed activities. The total transaction amount was fixed in the sum of USD 6.7 million, USD 2.7 million of which have been already paid and the balance is payable as follows: (i) USD 1.0 million, upon executing the title deed, in June 2013; (ii) the balance of USD 3.0 million, secured by mortgage, is payable in 3 equal, consecutive, semi-annual installments, with the last installment falling due on January 31, 2015. The accounting result of this transaction will be recorded upon executing the title deed whereby possession of the property will be delivered.

Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A.
Summary as of December 31, 2012
 
Prospects for the next quarter
 
The context looks appealing for the agricultural segment in the region. After experiencing a severe drought in 2012 that later extended to the north region of the continent, commodity prices, mainly soybean, evidenced an upward trend, reaching values higher than 500. Moreover, we expect the annual output to be highly satisfactory, reflecting the suitable rainfall levels forecasted. USDA projections for Argentina point to 27 million tons of corn and 53 million tons of soybean during this season, whereas for Brazil, USDA projects 72.5 million tons of corn and 83.5 million tons of soybean during this season. We expect to plant crops in approximately 203,000 hectares in the whole region.
We expect the beef cattle segment to record good output levels, high prices and controlled costs again this year. As concerns the milk business, we will maintain our milk production in our El Tigre state-of-the-art milking facility, where we operate at very high production levels.
As concerns land transformation and value-adding activities, we will make progress in the development of our farms in Salta, Paraguay and Brazil. In our farms located in Salta, we developed 10,007 hectares in 2012 and we expect to develop approximately 7,634 additional hectares during this fiscal year. In Paraguay, we will develop 1,000 hectares and we expect to improve yields even further. In Brazil, we will develop 15,504 hectares. Moreover, we will continue to rotate selectively our regional portfolio as it reaches optimum appreciation levels.  We still see sustained prices in land values accompanying the growth in crop prices.
In Argentina, we will continue with our strategy of supplementing agriculture in own farms with agriculture in leased farms and farms under concession. As regards our feedlot and meat packing business, we will continue operations in the expectation that market conditions will be more favorable and the segment becomes profitable again.
Looking ahead to 2013, prospects for the agricultural business are interesting, and Cresud, with its long track record and expertise in the industry, will have excellent chances to take advantage of the best opportunities available in the market.
