DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “Safe Harbor” for forward looking statements.
This annual report contains or incorporates by reference statements that constitute “forward-looking statements,” regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our directors and officers with respect to our future operating performance. Such statements include any forecasts, projections and descriptions of anticipated cost savings or other synergies. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. You should be aware that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors (including, without limitations, the actions of competitors, future global economic conditions, market conditions, foreign exchange rates, and operating and financial risks related to managing growth and integrating acquired businesses), many of which are beyond our control. The occurrence of any such factors not currently expected by us would significantly alter the results set forth in these statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely include, but are not limited to:
•
|
changes in general economic, business or political or other conditions in Argentina or changes in general economic or business conditions in latin america; and other countries in which we have direct and/or indirect operations and/or investments.
|
|
|
•
|
changes in capital markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes toward lending to Argentina or Argentine companies;
|
|
|
•
|
inflation, changes in exchange rates or regulations applicable to currency exchanges or transfers;
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to integrate our business with companies and/or assets we may acquire;
|
|
|
•
|
unexpected developments in certain existing litigation;
|
|
|
•
|
current and future laws and governmental regulations applicable to our business;
|
|
|
•
|
increased costs;
|
|
|
•
|
fluctuations and reductions on the value of Argentina’s public debt;
|
|
|
•
|
unanticipated increases in financing and other costs or the inability to obtain additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms;
|
|
|
•
|
force majeure; and
|
|
|
•
|
the risk factors discussed under Item 3 (d) Risk Factors.
|
You should not place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date that they were made. Our independent public accountants have not examined or compiled the forward-looking statements and, accordingly, do not provide any assurance with respect to such statements. These cautionary statements should be considered in connection with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we might issue in the future. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements after filing of this Form to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Exchange Rates
In April 1991, the Convertibility Law No. 23,928 (the “Convertibility Law”) was enacted, which statutorily obligated the Argentine Central Bank to sell U.S. dollars to any individual at a fixed exchange rate of Ps.1.00 per US$1.00. On January 7, 2002, the Argentine congress enacted Law No. 25,561 (the “Public Emergency Law”), setting aside more than ten years of Peso against U.S. Dollar fixed parity. After devaluing the Peso and setting the official exchange rate of Ps.1.40 per U.S. Dollar, on February 11, 2002, the government allowed the free float of the Peso against the U.S. dollar. The shortage of U.S. dollars and their heightened demand caused the Peso to depreciate significantly in the first half of 2002. As of October 27, 2014 the applicable exchange rate was Ps. 8.50 = US$1.00 as quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina at the U.S. dollar selling rate. During 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Argentine Central Bank indirectly affected the exchange rate market, through active participation with the purpose of isolating external effects and maintaining a stable parity. On January 22, 2014, the official exchange rate of the Argentine peso had weakened by 25 cents to Ps.7.14 to the dollar, its biggest daily decline since the crisis of 2002. On January 23, 2014, the peso fell by over 86 cents to Ps. 8 against U.S. Dollar in the retail market, and by even more in the wholesale market. The Argentine Central Bank eventually intervened to stabilize the market at Ps.7.79 against U.S. Dollar, nonetheless, the Peso suffered a devaluation of over 15% in 48 hours. During February 2014 the Peso slightly strengthened to Ps. 7.8 against U.S. Dollar, before weakening to Ps. 8. The U.S. Dollar increased to Ps. 8.42 in September 2014 from Ps. 8.40 in August 2014. As from January, 2014, until October, 2014, the Peso suffered a devaluation of 22%.
The following table presents the high, low, average and period closing exchange rate for the average ask / bid of U.S. dollars stated in nominal Pesos per U.S. dollar.

Risks Related to Argentina
Argentina’s growth may not be sustainable.
The Argentine economy has experienced significant volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or negative growth, high inflation and currency devaluation. During 2001 and 2002, Argentina experienced a period of severe political, economic and social crisis, which caused a significant economic contraction and led to radical changes in government policies. Although the economy has recovered significantly since then. During 2014, the Argentine economy has shown signs of slowdown due to the increase in the applicable exchange rates and the decrease in the commodity prices the argentine economy has slowdown. Argentine economy is suffering high inflation and an increasing need of capital investment, with many sectors, particularly the energy sector, operating near full capacity.
During 2013, the Argentine GDP increased by 2.9%, according to data published by the National Institute of Statistics (“Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos” or the “INDEC”). For the six months ended June 30, 2014, GDP increased 0,0% relative to the same period the prior year, according to data published by the INDEC. As of August 30, 2014, the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator (“Estimador Mensual de Actividad Económica” or the “EMAE”) decreased 1.2%, relative to the same period the prior year, according to data published by the INDEC.
The economic and financial slowdown in certain European countries, the United States, and certain other important commercial partners of Argentina, may imply a decline in the international demand for Argentine products, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of operations. Moreover, the country’s relative stability since 2002 has been affected by increased political tension and government intervention in the economy. Additionally, as of the date of this annual report the negotiations of the argentine government with the holdouts of Argentina’s sovereign debt remain unresolved, which may adversely affect the growth of the country. For more information see “Risks Factors Relating to Argentina - Argentina’s ability to obtain financing from international markets is limited, which may impair its ability to implement reforms and foster economic growth.”
Our business depends to a significant extent on macroeconomic and political conditions in Argentina. We cannot assure you that Argentina’s recent growth will continue. Deterioration of the country’s economy would likely have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Continuing inflation may have an adverse effect on the economy.
In fiscal years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, inflation according to the INDEC was 11.0%, 9.7%, 9.9%, 10.5% and 15.0% (Since January 2014, the Argentine government established a new consumer price index (“IPCNu”) which more broadly reflects consumer prices by considering price information from the 24 provinces of Argentina. Therefore, the consumer price index for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 only takes notice for a six month period after IPCNu was introduced) Until 2013 inflation has been controlled in part due to actions implemented by the Argentine government to control inflation, including limitations on exports and price arrangements agreed with private companies. During 2014 inflation has accelerated mainly due to the devaluation process carried out by the Argentine Central Bank. The uncertainty surrounding future inflation may impact the country’s growth.
In the past, inflation has undermined the Argentine economy and the government’s ability to create conditions conducive to growth. A return to a high inflation environment would adversely affect the availability of long-term credit and the real estate market and may also affect Argentina’s foreign competitiveness by diluting the effects of the Peso devaluation and negatively impacting the level of economic activity and employment.
Additionally, high inflation would also undermine Argentina’s foreign competitiveness and adversely affect economic activity, employment, real salaries, consumption and interest rates. In addition, the dilution of the positive effects of the Peso devaluation on the export-oriented sectors of the Argentine economy will decrease the level of economic activity in the country. In turn, a portion of the Argentine debt is adjusted by the Coefciente de Estabilización de Referencia, (“CER Index”), a currency index that is strongly tied to inflation. Therefore, any significant increase in inflation would cause an increase in Argentina’s debt and, consequently, the country`s financial obligation.
The government has taken certain measures in order to control the inflation, such as implementing a fair price program, by virtue of which supermarkets have to offer certain products at a determined price, and sectoral agreements in order to implement salaries increases. Additionally, on September 19, 2014 the Argentine government has amended Law No. 20,680 (the “Supply Law”), which enables the federal government to intervene the markets when it considers that any party to such market is trying to impose prices, or supply restrictions over such market. The Supply Law provides among others pecuniary sanctions, suspension, seizure of operations, and confiscation of goods.
If inflation remains high or continues to rise, Argentina’s economy may be negatively impacted and our business could be adversely affected.
There are concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation statistics.
In January 2007, the INDEC modified its methodology used to calculate the consumer price index, which is calculated as the monthly average of a weighted basket of consumer goods and services that reflects the pattern of consumption of Argentine households. Several economists, as well as the international and Argentine press, have suggested that this change in methodology was related to the policy of the Argentine government intended to curb the increase of inflation and consequently reduce payments on the outstanding inflation-linked bonds issued by Argentina. At the time that the INDEC adopted this change in methodology the Argentine government also replaced several key officers at the INDEC, prompting complaints of governmental interference from the technical staff at the INDEC. In addition, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) requested to clarify its inflation rates several times.
On November 23, 2010, the Argentine government began consulting with the IMF for technical assistance in order to prepare a new national consumer price index with the aim of modernizing the current statistical system. During the first quarter of 2011, a team from the IMF started working in conjunction with the INDEC to create such an index. Notwithstanding the foregoing, reports published by the IMF state that its staff also uses alternative measures of inflation for macroeconomic surveillance, including data produced by private sources, and such measures have shown inflation rates that are considerably higher than those issued by the INDEC since 2007. Consequently, the IMF called on Argentina to adopt remedial measures to address the quality of its official data. In its meeting held on February 1, 2013, the Executive Board of the IMF found that Argentina’s progress in implementing remedial measures since September 2012 had not been sufficient. As a result, the IMF issued a declaration of censure against Argentina in connection with the breach of its related obligations to the IMF under the Articles of Agreement and called on Argentina to adopt remedial measures to address the inaccuracy of inflation and GDP data without further delay.
In order to address the quality of official data, the IPCNu was put in place on February 13, 2014. The IPCNu represents the first national indicator to measure changes in prices of final consumption by households. While the previous price index only measured inflation in the urban sprawl of the City of Buenos Aires. The IPCNu is calculated by measuring prices on goods across the entire urban population of the 24 provinces of Argentina. Pursuant to these calculations, the new consumer price index rose by 10% during the first quarter of 2014. The IMF has declared that it will review later in 2014 Argentina’s reports on progress in revising its inflation and gross domestic product statistics.
The ability of Argentina to access credit in the capital markets could be limited not only by the global economic conditions, the current negotiations of Argentina with the holdouts, but also by the uncertainty relating to the inaccuracy of the economic indexes and rates in question which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions.
Argentina’s ability to obtain financing from international markets is limited, which may impair its ability to implement reforms and foster economic growth.
Between 2005 and 2010, Argentina restructured part of its sovereign debt that had been in default since the end of 2001. As a result of the restructuring the Argentine government announced that it had approximately US$ 129.2 billion in total gross public debt, restructuring over 92.4% of the defaulted debt eligible for the 2005 and 2010 exchange offers. Certain bondholders that did not participate in that restructuring, mainly from the United States, Italy and Germany, filed legal actions against Argentina in order to collect on the defaulted bonds. Many of these proceedings are still pending as of the date of this annual report and holdout creditors may initiate new suits in the future, which may impose in precautionary measures on assets outside of Argentina.
On January 3, 2006, Argentina repaid in full its debt of approximately US$ 9.8 billion with the IMF.
In September 2008, Argentina announced its intention to cancel its external public debt to Paris Club creditor nations using reserves of the Argentine Central Bank in an amount equal to approximately US$ 6.5 billion. In 2010, the Argentine Government announced a new round of negotiations with the Paris Club to cancel such debt, which then totaled approximately US$ 8.0 billion, without the intervention of the IMF. In May 2014, the Argentine Government agreed with the Paris Club concerning the consolidated amount of debt that on 30 April, 2014 rose to US$ 9.7 billion, that it will be cancelled completely within the next 5 years, with an initial payment in principal of US$ 659 million in June, 2014. The agreed sum for interest amounts to 3% for capital balances during the first 5 years, while the agreement also establishes a minimum payment that will face Argentina each year and determines a payment criteria if additional investments come from member countries of the Paris Club. The agreement also provides that if during the period of 5 years additional investments are insufficient, Argentina may delay the payments two years totaling seven years later, with the consequent increase in the financial cost of around an additional 1% for the total period.
In addition, foreign shareholders of several Argentine companies have filed claims before the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) alleging that certain government measures adopted during the country’s 2001 crisis were inconsistent with the fair and equitable treatment standards set forth in various bilateral investment treaties to which Argentina is a party. Since May 2005, the ICSID tribunals have issued several awards against Argentina. Only the cases “CMS v. Argentina”, “Azurix v. Argentina” and “Vivendi v. Argentina” are currently final. As the date of this annual report, there are still 45 complaints filed by the ICSID against Argentina which are yet to be resolved and whose outcome is still unknown.
Moreover, under the arbitration rules of the Commission of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law ("UNCITRAL"), certain arbitral courts condemned Argentina to pay to British Gas (shareholder gas company Metrogas Argentina), and National Grid plc. (Transener’s shareholder, the transport company for argentine electricity). Argentina filed with the Federal District Court of the United States of America for the District of Columbia ordering cancellation of both rulings. The annulment of the ruling in relation to National Grid plc. was rejected by the District Court. Furthermore, on March 5, 2014 the Supreme Court of the United States delivered its judgment regarding the appeal filed by British Gas to the judgment of the Court of Appeals in Washington, rejecting the request made by British Gas based on the fact that it must have incurred the courts of Argentina prior to the commencement of the arbitral body established in 2002. The judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States, by a vote of 7-2, reversed the decision of the Court of Appeal of Washington and ordered Argentina to pay the sum of US$ 185 million in compensation for paying the debt back in a foreign currency to the British company, then controlling Metrogas, during the crisis of 2002 and as a consequence the freezing of fees charged by the Government to Metrogas. At the date of issue of this annual report , the Argentine Government made no public statements relating to the way the country should give effect to the judgment against it.
During the month of October 2013, the Argentine Government reached an agreement with five companies – four of which litigate in the ICSID (CMS Gas, Azurix, Vivendi and Continental Casualty) and the fifth, National Grid, litigating under the arbitration rules of the UNCITRAL, whereby Argentina made the payment to which it was permitted a cut of 25%, engaging companies to invest in public securities issued by the Argentine government, among others.
At the end of December 2012, Argentina filed a request with the applicable district court in New York in order to reopen the restructuring of its defaulted debt to some of the holdouts who were left out of previous exchanges. This exchange offer was part of a filing made by Argentina in the New York Court of Appeal requesting the review of the judgment made by the judge which ordered Argentina to pay US$1.3 billion with interest in favor of the holdouts. Argentina also said in its presentation (which was in the same terms and conditions of the 2010 restructuring), that referred judgment violated the pari passu clause.
On September 23, 2013, Law No. 26,886 (the “2013 Restructuring Law”) was enacted. The 2013 Restructuring Law provides that holders of government securities that were eligible for the 2005-2010 restructuring, if willing could participate in a new restructuring, waiving all their rights under these securities they hold, including those recognized by judicial or administrative judgments, or arbitrary rulings, releasing Argentina from any judicial, administrative, arbitral proceedings or otherwise, initiated or to be initiated in the future with respect to such securities or obligations arising in a new restructuring therfrom, including any action destined to receive service of capital or interest of such securities. Also 2013 Restructuring Law states that the financial terms and conditions offered may not be better than those offered to creditors in 2003-2010 restructuring.
The holdouts have obtained favorable judgments ordering the payment of owed original capital with interest, and compliance with the pari passu clause concerning future payments. Such decisions were appealed by Argentina. The Court of Appeal of New York confirmed the same on several occasions, and ordered Argentina to pay US$ 1.3 billion with interest accrued from the date of judgment in favor of the holdouts, suspending the execution of the judgment at first instance until the Supreme Court of Justice of the United States pronounce it. The chamber´s judgment (equal to the judgment of first instance) has a "stay", this being an injunction suspending the payment. The chamber´s judgment was appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, who on January 10, 2014 agreed to take the case. On June 16, 2014 the Supreme Court of the United States refused to address the Argentine case against holdouts by debt default and removed the "stay".
The decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of the United States to dismiss the appeals filed by the Argentine government confirmed the decisions of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan, which in principle requires the Argentine goverment to pay US$ 1.3 billion enabling other holdouts to request their payment on the same terms (estimated at a total of approximately US$ 15 billion). While the Argentine government has indicated on several occasions its intention to pay the full amount to the creditors who accepted the terms of 2003-2010 restructuring, the decisions of the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan, confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States of America, implies that any potential payment of restructured debt, which is not accompanied by a payment to the funds obtained in the aforementioned rulings could be repossessed. On June 30, 2014 the payment of the coupon of the Discount bonds expired. The government wired the respective sums of money to the trustee of such bonds in order to perform the payment but the court blocked such payment. On July 30, 2014 the grace period under the terms of such bonds expired, notwithstanding the foregoing payment has not yet been performed as of the date of this annual report as a consequence of not reinstating the stay and preventing banks from transferring funds deposited by Argentina, which are requesting the payment of funds together with the payment to restructured bondholders.
On September 11, 2014 the Argentine government enacted Law No. 26,984 by which changed the paying agent of the 2003-2010 restructuring, and establishing Buenos Aires as the domicile of payment for the bonds issued under each restructuring. With this law the government seeks to create a new voluntary exchange of restructured debt. Additionally, during August, 2014 the Argentine Central Bank revoked the authorization of Bank of New York Mellon to act in Argentina, the current payment agent of Argentina´s sovereign debt. In September 29, 2014, Thomas Griesa proclaimed to Argentina in contempt, considering that ignored the payment ordered to the holdouts.
During August and September 2014, the District Court of the Southern District of New York, authorized Citibank N.A. to pay creditors who held debt issued under Argentine Law but payable on New York. As of the date of this annual report, it is still under analysis of the District Court of the Southern District of New York the possibility for a third exception to be made on December 2014 in order to allow payment. However, motions filed by debt holders under U.S., European or Japanese law to allow payment by Citibank N.A. where rejected.
The lawsuits filed by the holdouts against the Argentina government could result in the freezing or precautionary measures taken on assets of, or that are considered of, Argentina, that could be able to have a materially adverse effect on the economy of the country and affect our ability to access international financing or repay our debts. As a result of Argentina’s failure to restructure completely its remaining sovereign debt and fully negotiate with the holdout creditors, the Argentine government may not have the financial resources necessary to implement reforms and foster economic growth, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the country’s economy and, consequently, our businesses and results of operations. Furthermore, Argentina’s inability to obtain credit in international markets could have a direct impact on our own ability to access international credit markets to finance our operations and growth, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
During both debt restructuration proceedings carried out by Argentine government on 2005 and 2010, a termination of the rights upon future offers clause (the “RUFO Clause”) was incorporated. The RUFO Clause states that if any debt holder receives any improvement, every other debt holder is entitled to receive the same conditions. The payment to the holdouts could potentially be interpreted as a condition for the application of such clause and allow the rest of the debt holders to claim the amount originally owed to them. After December 31, 2014, once the RUFO clause expires, the Argentine government could be in condition to make any potential offer to the holdouts, without receiving any potential reclaim from the rest of the bond holders.
Significant fluctuation in the value of the Peso may adversely affect the Argentine economy as well as our financial performance.
Despite the positive effects of the real depreciation of the Peso in 2002 on the competitiveness of certain sectors of the Argentine economy, it has also had a far-reaching negative impact on the Argentine economy and on businesses and individuals’ financial condition. The devaluation of the Peso has had a negative impact on the ability of Argentine businesses to honor their foreign currency-denominated debt, initially led to very high inflation, significantly reduced real wages, had a negative impact on businesses whose success is dependent on domestic market demand, such as utilities and the financial industry, and adversely affected the government’s ability to honor its foreign debt obligations. During January and October 2014, the Argentine government has devaluated significantly the Peso. If the Peso continues to devaluate significantly, all of the negative effects on the Argentine economy related to such devaluation could recur, with adverse consequences on our business. Moreover, it would likely result in material adverse effect in our business as a result of the exposure to financial commitments in US Dollar.
On the other hand, a substantial increase in the value of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar also presents risks for the Argentine economy. The appreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar negatively impacts the financial condition of entities whose foreign currency denominated assets exceed their foreign currency-denominated liabilities, such as us. In addition, in the short term, a significant real appreciation of the Peso would adversely affect exports. This could have a negative effect on GDP growth and employment as well as reduce the Argentine public sector’s revenues by reducing tax collection in real terms, given its current heavy reliance on taxes on exports. The appreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar could have an adverse effect on the Argentine economy and our business.
Certain measures that may be taken by the Argentine government may adversely affect the Argentine economy and as a result our business and results of operations
During recent years, the Argentine government has increased its direct intervention in the economy, including through the implementation of expropriation and nationalization measures, price controls and exchange controls.
In November 2008, the Argentine government enacted Law No. 26,425 which provided for the nationalization of the Administradoras de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones (the “AFJPs”). More recently, beginning in April 2012, the Argentine government provided for the nationalization of YPF S.A. and imposed major changes to the system under which oil companies operate, principally through the enactment of Law No. 26,741 and Decree No. 1277/2012. In February 2014, the Argentine government and Repsol (which was the principal shareholder of YPF S.A.) announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of the compensation payable to Repsol for the expropriation of the YPF S.A. shares. Such compensation totals US$ 5 billion, payable by delivery of Argentine sovereign bonds with various maturities. Additionally, on December 19, 2012, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 2552/2012 which, in its article 2, ordered the expropriation of the “Predio Rural de Palermo”. However, on January 4, 2013, the Federal Civil and Commercial Chamber granted an injunction that has temporarily blocked the application of Decree No. 2,552/2012. This Decree may indirectly affect APSA’s investment in Entertainment Holding S.A. (“EHSA”) (For more information see Item 4 – A. History and Development of the Company – Significant acquisitions, disposition and development of businesses “La Rural”). We cannot assure you that these or other measures that may be adopted by the Argentine government, such as expropriation, nationalization, forced renegotiation or modification of existing contracts, new taxation policies, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting foreign trade, investment, etc., will not have a material adverse effect on the Argentine economy and, as a consequence, adversely affect our financial condition, our results of operations and the market value of our shares and ADSs.
The Argentine government may order salary increases to be paid to employees in the private sector, which would increase our operating costs.
In the past, the Argentine government has passed laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to maintain minimum wage levels and provide specified benefits to employees and may do so again in the future. In the aftermath of the Argentine economic crisis, employers both in the public and private sectors have experienced significant pressure from their employees and labor organizations to increase wages and to provide additional employee benefits. Due to the high levels of inflation, the employees and labor organizations have begun again demanding significant wage increases. It is possible that the Argentine government could adopt measures mandating salary increases and/or the provision of additional employee benefits in the future. Any such measures could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Exchange controls and restrictions on transfers abroad and capital inflow restrictions have limited, and can be expected to continue to limit, the availability of international credit.
In 2001 and 2002, Argentina imposed exchange controls and transfer restrictions substantially limiting the ability of companies to retain foreign currency or make payments abroad. On June 2005, the government issued decree No. 616/2005, which established additional controls on capital inflow, including the requirement that, subject to limited exemptions, 30% of all funds remitted to Argentina remain deposited in a domestic financial institution for one year without earning any interest. On October 2011, new exchange controls measures that restrict foreign exchange inflows and outflows of capital have been implemented, among them it was established as a requirement for the repatriation of the direct investment of the non-resident (purchase of shares of local companies and real estate), the demonstration of the income of the currency and its settlement in the single free exchange market “Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios”. This measure increases the cost of obtaining foreign funds and limits access to such financing.
Additionally, on July 12, 2012, the Argentine Central Bank issued Communication “A” 5318, which among others, suspended the access to MULC for residents for external assets without a specific purpose. Through resolution 3210/2011 of the AFIP and the Communications "A" 5239, 5240, 5242 and 5245 and its amendments of the Argentine Central Bank, the "Consultation of Exchange Operations Programme," was established, a system by which an assessment will be made at the time of each transaction, in order to have the possibility to acquired US Dollars for tourism purpose. The system analyze the consistency with tax information of each currency buyer, and validate or invalidate the transaction.
In January 2014, the Argentine Central Bank established by Communication "A" 5526 that the resident individuals in the country will be able to access the local exchange market for purchases made by the concept "buy for the possession of foreign currency in the country" according to their income declared to the AFIP and other quantitative parameters established in the framework of exchange rate policy. In this sense, the AFIP established through its General Resolution No. 3583/2014 a parameter of 20% of the monthly income of the taxpayer validating the exchange transaction, with a minimum amount of monthly income of $ 7,200 (two minimum, living and mobile wages) and a monthly cap of US$ 2.000. The purchase amount that individuals can access this concept can be found through the “Exchange Operations Consultation Program", available on the corporate website of the AFIP.
Additionally, on July 10, 2014, by means of Communication "A" 5604 the Argentine Central Bank amended Communication "A" 5526 (which regulates access to MULC by residents for the purchase of foreign currency for their application to specific destinations in local assets) establishing the possibility that local governments and/or residents of the nonfinancial private sector issue new bonds and other debt securities with a public offering, can access the MULC simultaneously to the liquidation of the funds they receive for these emissions, to purchase foreign currency notes, for up to 90 % of the amount liquidated in the MULC. To do this, they must meet the other requirements in the Communication "A" 5604 and allocate foreign currency acquired for determined purposes. On October 9, 2014, such possibility was extended to the funds received from external financial loans and direct investments in accordance with Communication “A”·5643.
The Argentine government may, in the future, impose additional controls on the foreign exchange market and on capital flows from and into Argentina, in response to capital flight or depreciation of the Peso. These restrictions may have a negative effect on the economy and on our business if imposed in an economic environment where access to local capital is constrained. For more information, please see Item 10 (d) “Exchange Controls”.
The Rural Land Law and its application
On December 22, 2011, the Argentinean Congress passed passed the Rural Land Law in order to protect the ownership and sovereignty of certain rural areas of Argentina (the “Rural Land Law”). The Rural Land Law sets limits to the domain of rural land by foreign individuals or legal entities acting in Argentina ("Foreign Persons"), setting a maximum allowable percentage of ownership for foreigners of 20% in the rural areas of Argentina. Additionally, only 30% of the aforementioned 20% may be held by Foreign Persons of the same nationality, and from the date of enactment of the Rural Land Act, Foreign Person may not own more than 1,000 hectares throughout Argentine territory. The Rural Land Law states that it will not affect any rights previously acquired by Foreign Persons.
For the purposes of the Rural Land Law, the definition of Foreign Person includes Argentine companies in which a percentage higher than 51% of the outstanding capital stock is owned by foreign individuals or legal entities, or lower rates if the entity meets the proportions necessary to form the social will. The following also falls within the definition of Foreign Person (among others): (a) entities controlled by a percentage greater than 25% by a foreign company, or regardless of participation when such company holds enough votes to form the social will of that company; (b) companies that issued convertible notes, where a Foreign Person may exert over 25% of the voting power necessary to form the social will; (c) transfers for trusts whose beneficiaries are Foreign Persons in a percentage higher than 25%, (d) joint ventures, holding companies and any other legal persons present or in the future, and (e) foreign legal persons under public law.
On February 29, 2012, Executive Branch Decree No. 274/12 was published regulating the Rural Land Law. The aforementioned decree established a deadline of 60 days to the provinces to report the total area of their departments, municipalities or political divisions equivalent discriminating rural and urban land and rural properties subject to the Rural Land Law and consequently owned by Foreign Persons. Additionally, provinces should report the complete list of foreign companies registered in their respective jurisdictions. The decree also provides that foreign holders must report their holdings within 180 days from the date of enactment of regulations in the national register of rural land.
Payment of dividends to non-residents has been limited in the past and may be limited again.
Beginning in February 2002, the payment of dividends, irrespective of amount, outside Argentina required prior authorization from the Argentine Central Bank. On January 7, 2003, the Argentine Central Bank issued communication “A” 3859, which is still in force and pursuant to which there are no limitations on companies’ ability to purchase foreign currency and transfer it outside Argentina to pay dividends, provided that those dividends arise from net earnings corresponding to approved and audited financial statements. In spite of the lack of restriction to access the MULC in order to transfer those profits, there might be delays to exchange them for US Dollars or any other currency and the consequent transfer of the earnings to the shareholders.
In the future, government or the Argentine Central Bank could impose new restrictions to the payment of dividends abroad or impose additional requirements. Any restrictions on transferring funds abroad imposed to us by the government could undermine the ability to receive dividend payments to our holders of our GDSs.
Property values in Argentina could decline significantly.
Property values are influenced by multiple factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that property values will increase or that they will not be reduced. Many of the properties we own are located in Argentina. As a result, a reduction in the value of properties in Argentina could materially affect our business.
The Argentine economy could be adversely affected by economic developments in other global markets.
Financial and securities markets in Argentina are influenced, to varying degrees, by economic and market conditions in other global markets. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investors’ perception of the events occurring in one country may substantially affect capital flows into other countries, including. Lower capital inflows and declining securities prices negatively affect the real economy of a country through higher interest rates or currency volatility. The Argentine economy was adversely impacted by the political and economic events that occurred in several emerging economies in the 1990s, including those in Mexico in 1994, the collapse of several Asian economies between 1997 and 1998, the economic crisis in Russia in 1998 and the Brazilian devaluation in January 1999.
In addition, Argentina is also affected by the economic conditions of major trade partners, such as Brazil and/or countries that have influence over world economic cycles, such as the United States. If interest rates rise significantly in developed economies, including the United States, Argentina and other emerging market economies could find it more difficult and expensive to borrow capital and refinance existing debt, which would negatively affect their economic growth. In addition, if these developing countries, which are also Argentina’s trade partners, fall into a recession the Argentine economy would be affected by a decrease in exports. All of these factors would have a negative impact on us, our business, operations, financial condition and prospects.
Moreover, several European Union members have been obliged to reduce their public expenditures due to their high indebtedness rates, which had a negative impact on the economy of the Euro zone.
The situation of global economics on Argentina could imply in a reduction in the exports and foreign direct investment, and a decline in the national tax revenues and the inability to access to the international capital markets, which could adversely affect our business and results of our operations.
If prices for Argentina’s main commodity exports decline, such decline could have an adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth and on our business.
Argentina’s economy has historically relied on the export of commodities, the prices of which have been volatile in the past and largely outside its control. Argentina’s recovery from the financial crisis in 2001 and 2002 has depended to a significant extent on the rise in commodity prices, particularly prices of its main commodity exports, such as soybeans. High commodity prices have contributed significantly to government revenues from taxes on exports. Fluctuations in prices for commodities exported by Argentina and a significant increase in the value of the Peso (in real terms) may reduce Argentina’s competitiveness and significantly affect the country’s exports. During 2014, global commodity prices have presented a significant drop. A decrease in exports could affect Argentina’s economy, have a material adverse effect on public finances due to a loss of tax revenues, cause an imbalance in the country’s exchange market which, in turn, could lead to increased volatility with respect to the exchange rate. In addition, and more importantly in the short term, a significant appreciation of the Peso could materially reduce the Argentine government’s revenues in real terms and affect its ability to make payments on its debt obligations, as these revenues are heavily derived from export taxes (withholdings). This could worsen the financial condition of the Argentine public sector, which could adversely affect the Argentine economy, as well as our financial condition and operating results.
Restrictions on the supply of energy could negatively affect Argentina’s economy.
As a result of prolonged recession, and the forced conversion into Pesos and subsequent freeze of gas and electricity tariffs in Argentina, there has been a lack of investment in gas and electricity supply and transport capacity in Argentina in recent years. At the same time, demand for natural gas and electricity has increased substantially, driven by a recovery in economic conditions and price constraints, which has prompted the government to adopt a series of measures that have resulted in industry shortages and/or costs increase. In particular, Argentina has been importing gas in order to compensate the shortage in local production. In order to pay for those importations, the Argentine government has frequently used the Argentine Central bank reserves due to absence of incoming currencies from investment. If the government is unable to pay for the gas importation in order to produce electricity, business and industries may be affected.
The federal government has been taking a number of measures to alleviate the short-term impact of energy shortages on residential and industrial users. If these measures prove to be insufficient, or if the investment that is required to increase natural gas production and transportation capacity and energy generation and transportation capacity over the medium-and long-term fails to materialize on a timely basis, economic activity in Argentina could be curtailed which may have a significant adverse effect on our business.
As a first step of these measures, subsidies on energy tariffs were withdrawn to industries and high income consumers. Additionally, since 2011, a series of rate increases and the reduction of subsidies mainly amongst industries and high-income consumers occurred. As a result, energy costs raised significantly, which could affect substantially and adversely the Argentine economy, as well as business operations and results of our transactions.
Risks Relating to Brazil
The Brazilian government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over the Brazilian economy, which combined with Brazil’s political and economic conditions may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is dependent to a large extent on the economic conditions in Brazil. As from June 30, 2011 we consolidate our financial statements with our subsidiary Brasilagro-Companhia Brasileira de Propiedades Agricolas (“Brasilagro”).
Historically, the Brazilian government has occasionally made significant changes to the monetary, credit, tariff, and other policies to influence the course of Brazil’s economy. Such government actions have included increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies, price controls, currency devaluations, as well as other measures such as imposing exchange controls and limits on imports and exports.
Our operations in Brazil may be adversely affected by changes in public policy at federal, state and municipal levels with respect to public tariffs and exchange controls, as well as other factors, such as:
·
|
fluctuation in exchange rates in Brazil;
|
·
|
exchange controls and restrictions on remittances outside Brazil, such as those which were imposed on such remittances (including dividends) in 1989 and early 1990;
|
·
|
liquidity of the Brazilian financial, capital and lending markets;
|
·
|
fiscal policy and tax regime in Brazil; and
|
·
|
other political, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.
|
Recent examples of legal changes include the imposition of the Tax on Foreign Exchange Transactions (Imposto sobre Operações Financeiras), or IOF/Exchange tax, which was raised from zero to 6% on October 20, 2009. The IOF/Exchange tax is levied on funds transferred to Brazil by non-resident holders for investments in Brazilian financial and capital markets and transactions related to the constitution of initial or additional guarantee margins before the BOVESPA. As of December 1, 2011, certain investments were excluded from the 6% tax and subject instead a 2% IOF/Exchange tax. The Tax on Bonds and Securities Transactions, or IOF/Securities tax, was increased from zero to 1.5% on shares issued by a Brazilian company and listed on a Brazilian stock exchange for the purpose allowing depositary receipts traded outside Brazil to be issued. The IOF/Securities tax was increased from zero to 1% on currency-related derivative transactions resulting in an increase of the short position exposure in foreign currency or in a decrease of the long position in foreign currency. As of June 30, 2014, all these IOF rates were reduced to zero, exception made for loans with payment in less than 360 days which are currently taxed at 6% IOF rate.
Actions of the Brazilian government in the future could have a significant effect on economic conditions in Brazil, which could adversely affect private sector companies such as our subsidiary Brasilagro, and thus, could adversely affect us.
Although inflation in Brazil has stabilized in the past years, an increase in inflation could adversely affect the operations of Brasilagro which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Brazil has experienced high and generally unpredictable rates of inflation in the past. Inflation itself, as well as governmental policies to combat inflation, has had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy in general. Inflation, government efforts to control inflation and public speculation about future governmental actions have had, and can be expected to continue to have, significant impact on the Brazilian economy and on our operations in Brazil. As measured by the Brazilian Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor (National Consumer Price Index), or INPC, inflation in Brazil was 6.5%, 4.1%, 6.5%, 6,1%, 6.2% and 5.91% in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Inflation in 2014 is expected to be 6.39%. We cannot assure you that levels of inflation in Brazil will not increase in future years having a material adverse effect on our business, on the financial condition or, the results of operations. Inflationary pressures may lead to government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that could adversely affect the results of operations of Brasilagro.
The Brazilian real is subject to depreciation and exchange rate volatility which could adversely affect Brasilagro’s financial condition and results of operations.
Brazil’s rate of inflation and the government’s actions to combat inflation have also affected the exchange rate between the real and the U.S. dollar. As a result of inflationary pressures, the Brazilian currency has been devalued periodically during the last four decades. Throughout this period, the Brazilian federal government has implemented various economic plans and utilized a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly), floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. During 2009 and 2010 the real appreciated 24.9% and 4.6%, respectively, against the U.S. Dollar. While during 2011, 2012 and 2013 the real depreciated 13.3%, 9.6% and 15.5%, respectively, against the U.S. dollar. In the six months ended June 30, 2014, the real appreciated 7.3% against the U.S. dollar. There can be no assurance that the rate of exchange between the real and the U.S. dollar will not fluctuate significantly in the future. In the event of a devaluation of the real, the financial condition and results of operations of our Brazilian subsidiary could be adversely affected.
Depreciation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar may increase the cost of servicing foreign currency-denominated debt that our subsidiary may incur in the future, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, depreciation of the real creates additional inflationary pressures in Brazil that may adversely affect our results of operations. Depreciation generally curtails access to international capital markets and may prompt government intervention. It also reduces the U.S. dollar value of Brasilagro’s revenues, distributions and dividends, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the market price of our common shares. On the other hand, the appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar may lead to the deterioration of Brazil’s public accounts and balance of payments, as well as to lower economic growth from exports, which could impact the results of our subsidiary Brasilagro.
The Brazilian government imposes certain restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad which could affect the timing and amount of any dividend or other payment we receive.
Brazilian law guarantees foreign shareholders of Brazilian companies the right to repatriate their invested capital and to receive all dividends in foreign currency provided that their investment is registered with the Banco Central do Brazil. We registered our investment in Brasilagro with the Brazilian Central Bank on April 28, 2006. Although dividend payments related to profits obtained subsequent to April 28, 2006 are not subject to income tax, if the sum of repatriated capital and invested capital exceeds the investment amount registered with the Brazilian Central Bank, repatriated capital is subject to a capital gains tax of 15%. There can be no assurance that the Brazilian government will not impose additional restrictions or modify existing regulations that would have an adverse effect on an investor’s ability to repatriate funds from Brazil nor can there be any assurance of the timing or duration of such restrictions, if imposed in the future.
Widespread uncertainties, corruption and fraud relating to ownership of real estate may adversely affect our business.
There are widespread uncertainties, corruption and fraud relating to title ownership of real estate assets in Brazil. In Brazil, ownership of real property is conveyed through filing of deeds before the relevant land registry. In certain cases, land registry recording errors, including duplicate and/or fraudulent entries, and deed challenges frequently occur, leading to judicial actions. Disputes over title ownership of real estate assets are frequent, and, as a result, there is a risk that errors, fraud or challenges could adversely affect us, causing the loss of all or substantially all of our properties.
In addition, our land may be subject to expropriation by the Brazilian government. An expropriation could materially impair the normal use of our lands or have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, social movements, such as Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra and Comissão Pastoral da Terra and the Argentinean Rural Land Law, among others, are active in Brazil. Such movements advocate land reform and mandatory property redistribution by the government. Land invasions and occupations of rural areas by a large number of individuals is common practice for these movements, and, in certain areas, including some of those in which we are likely to invest, police protection and effective eviction proceedings are not available to land owners. As a result, we cannot give you any assurance that Brasilagro properties will not be subject to invasion or occupation by these groups. A land invasion or occupation could materially impair the normal use of Brasilagro lands or have a material adverse effect on us or the value of our common shares or ADSs.
The lack of efficient transportation, and adequate storage or handling facilities in certain of the regions in which Brasilagro operates may have a material adverse effect on our business.
One of the principal disadvantages of the agriculture industry in some of the regions where Brasilagro operates is that they are located a long distance from major ports in some cases, nearly 1,500 kilometers. Efficient access to transportation infrastructure and ports is critical to the profitability in the agricultural industry. Furthermore, as part of our business strategy, we intend to acquire and develop land in specific areas where existing transportation is poor. A substantial portion of agricultural production in certain of the regions where we operate is currently transported by truck, a means of transportation significantly more expensive than the rail transportation available to the U.S. and other international producers. As a result, we may be unable to obtain efficient transportation to make our production reach our most important markets in a cost-effective manner, if at all, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of our operations.
Risks Relating to Our Region
Our business is dependent on economic conditions in the countries where we operate or intend to operate.
We made investments in farmland in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia and we may possibly make investments in other countries in and outside latin america. Because demand for livestock and agricultural products usually is correlated to economic conditions prevailing in the local market, which in turn is dependent on the macroeconomic condition of the country in which the market is located, our financial condition and results of operations are, to a considerable extent, dependent upon political and economic conditions prevailing from time to time in the countries where we operate. Latin American countries have historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth, as well as recession, periods of high inflation and economic instability. Certain countries have experienced severe economic crises, which may still have future effects. As a result, governments may not have the financial resources necessary to implement reforms and foster growth. Any of these adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We face the risk of political and economic crises, instability, terrorism, civil strife, expropriation and other risks of doing business in emerging markets.
In addition to Argentina and Brazil, we conduct or intend to conduct our operations in other Latin-American countries such as, Paraguay and Bolivia, among others. Economic and political developments in the countries in which we operate, including future economic changes or crises (such as inflation or recession), government deadlock, political instability, terrorism, civil strife, changes in laws and regulations, expropriation or nationalization of property, and exchange controls could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Although economic conditions in one country may differ significantly from another country, we cannot assure that events in one country alone will not adversely affect our business or the market value of, or market for, our common shares and/or ADSs.
Governments in the countries where we operate or intend to operate exercise significant influence over their economies.
Emerging market governments, including governments in the countries where we operate, frequently intervene in the economies of their respective countries and occasionally make significant changes in policy and regulations. Governmental actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by changes in government policies or regulations, including factors, such as:
•
|
exchange rates and exchange control policies;
|
|
|
•
|
inflation rates;
|
|
|
•
|
interest rates;
|
|
|
•
|
tariff and inflation control policies;
|
|
|
•
|
import duties on information technology equipment;
|
|
|
•
|
liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;
|
|
|
•
|
electricity rationing;
|
|
|
•
|
tax policies; and
|
|
|
•
|
other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting the countries where we intend to operate.
|
An eventual reduction of foreign investment in any of the countries where we operate may have a negative impact on such country’s economy, affecting interest rates and the ability of companies to access financial markets.
Local currencies used in the conduct of our business are subject to exchange rate volatility and exchange controls.
The currencies of many latin american countries have experienced substantial volatility in recent years. Currency movements, as well as higher interest rates, have materially and adversely affected the economies of many latin american countries, including countries in which account for or are expected to account for a significant portion of our revenues. The depreciation of local currencies creates inflationary pressures that may have an adverse effect on us generally, and may restrict access to international capital markets. On the other hand, the appreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar may lead to deterioration in the balance of payments of the countries where we operate, as well as to a lower economic growth.
In addition, we may be subject to exchange control regulations in these latin american countries which might restrict our ability to convert local currencies into U.S. dollars.
Inflation and certain government measures to curb inflation may have adverse effects on the economies of the countries where we operate or intend to operate our business and our operations.
Most countries where we operate or intend to operate, historically, experienced high inflation rates. Inflation and some measures implemented to curb inflation have had significant negative effects on the economies of latin american countries. Governmental actions taken in an effort to curb inflation, coupled with speculation about possible future actions, have contributed to economic uncertainty at times in most latin american countries. The countries where we operate or intend to operate may experience high levels of inflation in the future that could lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, if any of these countries experience high rates of inflation, we may not be able to adjust the price of our services sufficiently to offset the effects of inflation on our cost structures. A high inflation environment would also have negative effects on the level of economic activity and employment and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Developments in other markets may affect the latin american countries where we operate or intend to operate, and as a result our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
The market value of securities of companies such as us may be, to varying degrees, affected by economic and market conditions in other global markets. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investors’ perception of the events occurring in one country may substantially affect capital flows into and securities from issuers in other countries, including latin american countries. Various latin american economies have been adversely impacted by the political and economic events that occurred in several emerging economies in recent times. Furthermore, latin american economies may be affected by events in developed economies which are trading partners or that impact the global economy and adversely affect our activities and the results of our operations.
Land in latin american countries may be subject to expropriation or occupation.
Our land may be subject to expropriation by the governments of the countries where we operate and intend to operate. An expropriation could materially impair the normal use of our lands or have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, social movements, such as Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra and Comissão Pastoral da Terra in Brazil, are active in certain of the countries where we operate or intend to operate. Such movements advocate land reform and mandatory property redistribution by governments. Invasions and occupations of rural areas by a large number of individuals is common practice for these movements, and, in certain areas, including some of those in which we are likely to invest, police protection and effective eviction proceedings are not available to land owners. As a result, we cannot assure you that our properties will not be subject to invasion or occupation. A land invasion or occupation could materially affect the normal use of our properties or have a material adverse effect on us or the value of our common shares and our ADSs.
We may invest in countries other than Argentina and Brazil and cannot give you any assurance as to the countries in which we will ultimately invest, and we could fail to list all risk factors for each possible country.
We have a broad and opportunistic business strategy therefore we may invest in countries other than Argentina and Brazil including countries in other emerging markets outside latin america for example in Africa. As a result, it is not possible at this time to identify all risk factors that may affect our future operations and the value of our common shares and ADSs.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Fluctuation in market prices for our agriculture products could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Prices for cereals, oilseeds and by-products, like those of other commodities, can be expected to fluctuate significantly. The prices that we are able to obtain for our agriculture products depend on many factors beyond our control, including:
•
|
prevailing world prices, which historically have been subject to significant fluctuations over relatively short periods of time, depending on worldwide demand and supply;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in the agricultural subsidy levels in certain important countries (mainly the United States and countries in the European Union) and the adoption of other government policies affecting industry market conditions and prices; and
|
|
|
•
|
demand for and supply of competing commodities and substitutes.
|
Our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if the prices of our agricultural products decline.
Unpredictable weather conditions may have an adverse impact on our crop and cattle production.
The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail, or floods, is unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact upon our crop production and, to a lesser extent, our cattle and wool production. The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions may reduce yields on our farmlands or require us to increase our level of investment to maintain yields.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) estimates, Argentina’s crops output (wheat, corn and soybean) for the 2014/2015 season are expected to be slightly better than in the previous cycle. They forecast not only an increase in the sown area in the case of soybean and wheat (corn shows a slightly fall due to higher costs), but a general increase in the expected yields in comparison with the previous campaign. The estimated production of soybean is supposed to reach 54 million tons, the wheat production 12 million tons and the corn production 26 million tons.
We cannot assure you that the current and future severe adverse weather conditions will not adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Diseases may strike our crops without warning potentially destroying some or all of our yields.
The occurrence and effect of crop disease and pestilence can be unpredictable and devastating to crops, potentially destroying all or a substantial portion of the affected harvests. Even when only a portion of the crop is damaged, our results of operations could be adversely affected because all or a substantial portion of the production costs for the entire crop have been duly incurred. Although some crop diseases are treatable, the cost of treatment is high, and we cannot assure that such events in the future will not adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our cattle are subject to diseases.
Diseases among our cattle herds, such as tuberculosis, brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease, can have an adverse effect on milk production and fattening, rendering cows unable to produce milk or meat for human consumption. Outbreaks of cattle diseases may also result in the closure of certain important markets, such as the United States, to our cattle products. Although we abide by national veterinary health guidelines, which include laboratory analyses and vaccination, to control diseases among the herds, especially foot-and-mouth disease, we cannot assure that future outbreaks of cattle diseases will not occur. A future outbreak of diseases among our cattle herds may adversely affect our cattle and milk sales which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We may be exposed to material losses due to volatile crop prices since a significant portion of our production is not hedged, and exposed to crop price risk.
Due to the fact that we do not have all of our crops hedged, we are unable to have minimum price guarantees for all of our production and are therefore exposed to significant risks associated with the level and volatility of crop prices. We are subject to fluctuations in crop prices which could result in receiving a lower price for our crops than our production cost. We are also subject to exchange rate risks related to our crops that are hedged, because our futures and options positions are valued in U.S. dollars, and thus are subject to exchange rate risk.
In addition, if severe weather or any other disaster generates a lower crop production than the position already sold in the market, we may suffer material losses in the repurchase of the sold contracts.
The creation of new export taxes may have an adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.
In order to prevent inflation and variations in the exchange rate from adversely affecting prices of primary and manufactured products (including agricultural products), and to increase tax collections and reduce Argentina’s fiscal deficit, the Argentine government has imposed new taxes on exports. Pursuant to Resolution No. 11/02 of the Ministry of Economy and Production, as amended by Resolution No. 35/02, No. 160/2002, No. 307/2002 and No. 530/2002, effective as of March 5, 2002, the Argentine government imposed a 20%, 10% and 5% export tax on primary and manufactured products. On November 12, 2005, pursuant to Resolution No. 653/2005, the Ministry of Economy and Production increased the tax on cattle exports from 5% to 10%, and on January 2007 increased the tax on soybean exports from 23.5% to 27.5%. Pursuant to Resolutions No. 368/07 and No. 369/07 both dated November 12, 2007, the Ministry of Economy and Production further increased the tax on soybean exports from 27.5% to 35.0% and also the tax on wheat and corn exports from 20.0% to 28.0% and from 20.0% to 25.0%, respectively. In early March 2008, the Argentine government introduced a regime of sliding –scale export tariffs for oilseed, grains and by-products, where the withholding rate (in percentage) would increase to the same extent as the crops’ price. Therefore, it imposed an average tax for soybean exports of 46%, compared to the previous fixed rate of 35%. In addition, the tax on exports of wheat was increased, from a fixed rate of 28% to an average variable rate of 38%, and the tax on exports of corn changed from a fixed rate of 25% to an average variable rate of 36%. This tariff regime, which according to farmers effectively sets a maximum price for their crops, sparked widespread strikes and protests by farmers whose exports have been one of the principal driving forces behind Argentina’s recent growth. In April 2008, as a result of the export tariff regime, farmers staged a 21-day strike in which, among other things, roadblocks were set up throughout the country, triggering Argentina’s most significant political crisis in five years. These protests disrupted transport and economic activity, which led to food shortages, a surge in inflation and a drop in export registrations. Finally, the federal executive branch decided to send the new regime of sliding-scale export tariffs to the federal congress for its approval. The project was approved in the lower chamber of the national congress but rejected by the Senate. Subsequently, the federal government abrogated the regime of sliding-scale export tariffs and reinstated the previous scheme of fixed withholdings.
Export taxes may have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations. We produce exportable goods and, therefore, an increase in export taxes is likely to result in a decrease in our products’ price, and, therefore, may result in a decrease of our sales. We cannot guarantee the impact of those or any other future measures that might be adopted by the Argentine government on our financial condition and result of operations.
An international credit crisis could have a negative impact on our major customers which in turn could materially adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.
The last international credit crisis had a significant negative impact on businesses around the world. Although we believe that available borrowing capacity under the current conditions and proceeds resulting from potential farmland sales will provide us with sufficient liquidity through the current economic environment, the impact of the crisis on our major customers cannot be predicted and may be quite severe. A disruption in the ability of our significant customers to access liquidity could cause serious disruptions or an overall deterioration of their businesses which could lead to a reduction in their future orders of our products and the inability or failure on their part to meet their payment obligations to us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.
Government intervention in the markets may have a direct impact on our prices.
The Argentine government has set certain industry market conditions and prices in the past. In order to prevent a substantial increase in the price of basic products as a result of inflation, the Argentine government is adopting an interventionist policy. In March 2002, the Argentine government fixed the price for milk after a conflict among producers and the government. Since 2005, the Argentine government, in order to increase the domestic availability of beef and reduce domestic prices, adopted several measures: it increased turnover tax and established a minimum average number of animals to be slaughtered. In March 2006, the registries for beef exports were temporarily suspended. This last measure was softened once prices decreased. There can be no assurance that the Argentine government will not interfere in other areas by setting prices or regulating other market conditions. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to freely negotiate all our products’ prices in the future or that the prices or other market conditions that the Argentine government could impose will allow us to freely negotiate the price of our products.
We do not maintain insurance over all our crop storage facilities; therefore, if a fire or other disaster damages some or all of our harvest, we will not be completely covered.
We store a significant portion of our grain production during harvest due to the seasonal drop in prices that normally occurs at that time. Currently, we store a significant portion of our grain production in plastic silos. We do not maintain insurance on our plastic silos. Although our plastic silos are placed in several different locations, and it is unlikely that a natural disaster affects all of our plastic silos simultaneously, a fire or other natural disaster which damages the stored grain, particularly if such event occurs shortly after harvesting, could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
Worldwide competition in the markets for our products could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We experience substantial worldwide competition in each of our markets in which we operate, and in many of our product lines. The market for cereals, oil seeds and by-products is highly competitive and also sensitive to changes in industry capacity, producer inventories and cyclical changes in the world’s economies, any of which may significantly affect the selling prices of our products and thereby our profitability. Argentina is more competitive in the oilseed market than in the market for cereals. Due to the fact that many of our products are agricultural commodities, they compete in the international markets almost exclusively on the basis of price. Many other producers of these products are larger than us, and have greater financial and other resources. Moreover, many other producers receive subsidies from their respective countries while we do not receive any such subsidies from the Argentine government. These subsidies may allow producers from other countries to produce at lower costs than us and/or endure periods of low prices and operating losses for longer periods than we can. Any increased competitive pressure with respect to our products could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to maintain our relationship with our customers, particularly with the single customer who purchases our entire raw milk production each month, our business may be adversely affected.
Our cattle sales are diversified, notwithstanding the aforementioned, we are and will continue to be significantly dependent on a number of third party relationships, mainly with our customers for crop and milk sales. During the fiscal year 2014, we sold our products to approximately 300 customers. Sales of agricultural products to our ten largest customers represented approximately 85% of our net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. During fiscal year 2014, our biggest three customers were Bunge Alimentos S.A., Louis Dreyfus Commodities y Molinos Río de la Plata S.A., which represented, in the aggregate, approximately 48% of our net sales in agricultural products, while the remaining seven customers in the aggregate represented approximately 52% of our net sales in the fiscal year 2014.
In addition, we currently sell our entire raw milk production to one customer in Argentina, Mastellone Hnos. S.A. For the year ended June 30, 2014, these sales represented approximately 4.8% of our agricultural business revenues. We cannot assure you that this customer will continue to purchase our entire raw milk production in the future or that, if it fails to do so, we could enter into satisfactory sale arrangements with new purchasers in the future.
We sell our crop production mainly to exporters and manufacturers that process the raw materials to produce meal and oil, products that are sent to the export markets. The Argentine crop market is characterized by a few purchasers and a great number of sellers. Although most of the purchasers are international companies with strong financial conditions, we cannot assure you that this situation will remain the same in the future or this market will not get more concentrated in the future.
We may not be able to maintain or form new relationships with customers or others who provide products and services that are important to our business. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our existing or prospective relationships will result in sustained business or the generation of significant revenues.
Our business is seasonal, and our revenues may fluctuate significantly depending on the growing cycle.
Our agricultural business is highly seasonal due to its nature and cycle. The harvest and sale of crops (corn, soybean and sunflower) generally occurs from February to June. Wheat is harvested from December to January. Our operations and sales are affected by the growing cycle of the crops we process and by decreases during the summer in the price of the cattle we fatten. As a result, our results of operations have varied significantly from period to period, and are likely to continue to vary, due to seasonal factors.
The restrictions imposed on our subsidiaries’ dividend payments may adversely affect us.
We have subsidiaries, and therefore, dividends in cash and other permitted payments of our subsidiaries constitute a major source of our income. The debt agreements of our subsidiaries contain covenants that may restrict their ability to pay dividends or proceed with other types of distributions. If our subsidiaries are prevented from making payments to us or if they are only allowed to pay limited amounts, we may be unable to pay dividends or to repay our indebtedness.
Our principal shareholder has the ability to direct our business and affairs, and its interests could conflict with ours.
As of June 30, 2014, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, is the beneficial owner of 39,33% (on a fully diluted basis) of our common shares. As a result of his significant influence over us, Mr. Elsztain, by virtue of his position in Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. (“IFISA”), has been able to elect a majority of the members of our board of directors, direct our management and determine the result of substantially all resolutions that require shareholders’ approval, including fundamental corporate transactions and our payment of dividends by us.
The interests of our principal shareholder and management may differ from, and could conflict with, those of our other shareholders. Pursuant to a consulting agreement we pay a management fee equal to 10% of our annual net income to Consultores Asset Management S.A., formerly known as Dolphin Fund Management S.A. (“Consultores Asset Management”), a company whose capital stock is 85% owned by Eduardo Elsztain and the remaining by Saúl Zang, our vice-chairman. This performance based fee could be viewed as an incentive for Consultores Asset Management to favor riskier or more speculative investments than would otherwise be the case. In addition, as of June 30, 2014 Mr. Elsztain was the beneficial owner, due to his indirect shareholding through us of 65.9% of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima ("IRSA"), an Argentine company that currently owns approximately 95.7% of the common shares of its subsidiary Alto Palermo Sociedad Anónima (APSA) (“Alto Palermo” or “APSA”) whose chief executive officer is Mr. Alejandro G. Elsztain, Mr. Eduardo Elsztain’s brother. We cannot assure you that our principal shareholders will not cause us to forego business opportunities that their affiliates may pursue or to pursue other opportunities that may not be in our interest, all of which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and the value of our common shares and the ADSs.
We could be adversely affected by our investment in IRSA if its value declines.
Our investment in IRSA is exposed to the common risks generally inherent in investments in the real estate industry, many of which are outside IRSA’s control. Any of these risks could adversely and materially affect IRSA’s businesses, financial position and/or results of operations. Any available returns on capital expenditures associated with real estate are dependent upon sales volumes and/or revenues from leases and the expenses incurred. Besides, there are other factors that may adversely affect the performance and the value of a property, including the local economic conditions prevailing in the area where the property is located, macroeconomic conditions in Argentina and in the rest of the world, competition from other companies engaged in real estate development, IRSA’s ability to find lessees, non-performance by lessees and/or lease terminations, changes in legislation and in governmental regulations (including those governing the use of the properties, urban planning and real estate taxes), variations in interest rates (including the risk of an increase in interest rates causing a reduction in the sales of lots in properties intended for residential development) and the availability of funding. In addition, and given the relative illiquidity of the real estate market, IRSA could be unable to effectively respond to adverse market conditions and/or be compelled to undersell one or more of its properties. Broadly speaking, some significant expenses, such as debt services, real estate taxes and operating and maintenance costs do not fall when there are circumstances that reduce the revenues from an investment.
These factors and/or events could impair IRSA’s ability to respond to adverse changes in the returns on its investments thus causing a significant reduction in its financial position and/or the results of its operations, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position and the results of our operations.
We could be materially and adversely affected by our investment in Brasilagro.
We consolidated our financial statements with our subsidiary Brasilagro. Brasilagro was formed on September 23, 2005 to exploit opportunities in the Brazilian agricultural sector. Brasilagro seeks to acquire and develop future properties to produce a diversified range of agricultural products (which may include sugarcane, grains, cotton, forestry products and livestock). Brasilagro is a startup company that has been operating since 2006. As a result, it has a developing business strategy and limited track record. Brasilagro’s business strategy may not be successful, and if not successful, Brasilagro may be unable to successfully modify its strategy. Brasilagro’s ability to implement its proposed business strategy may be materially and adversely affected by many known and unknown factors. If we were to write-off our investments in Brasilagro, this would likely materially and adversely affect our business. As of June 30, 2014, we owned 39.63% of the outstanding common shares of Brasilagro.
We are subject to extensive environmental regulation.
Our activities are subject to a wide set of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, which impose various environmental obligations. Obligations include compulsory maintenance of certain preserved areas in our properties, management of pesticides and associated hazardous waste and the acquisition of permits for water use. Our proposed business is likely to involve the handling and use of hazardous materials that may cause the emission of certain regulated substances. In addition, the storage and processing of our products may create hazardous conditions. We could be exposed to criminal and administrative penalties, in addition to the obligation to remedy the adverse effects of our operations on the environment and to indemnify third parties for damages, including the payment of penalties for non-compliance with these laws and regulations. Since environmental laws and their enforcement are becoming more stringent in Argentina, our capital expenditures and expenses for environmental compliance may substantially increase in the future. In addition, due to the possibility of future regulatory or other developments, the amount and timing of environmental-related capital expenditures and expenses may vary substantially from those currently anticipated. The cost of compliance with environmental regulation may result in reductions of other strategic investments which may consequently decrease our profits. Any material unforeseen environmental costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.
As of June 30, 2014, we owned land reserves extending over more than 352,928 hectares that were purchased at very attractive prices. In addition, we have a concession over 109,014 hectares reserved for future development. We believe that there are technological tools available to improve productivity in these farmlands and, therefore, achieve appreciation in the long term. However, current or future environmental regulations could prevent us from fully developing our land reserves by requiring that we maintain part of this land as natural woodlands not to be used for production purposes.
Increased energy prices and fuel shortages could adversely affect our operations.
We require substantial amounts of fuel oil and other resources for our harvest activities and transport of our agricultural products. We rely upon third parties for our supply of the energy resources consumed in our operations. The prices for and availability of energy resources may be subject to change or curtailment, respectively, due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, worldwide price levels and market conditions. The prices of various sources of energy may increase significantly from current levels. An increase in energy prices could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We depend on our chairman and senior management.
Our success depends, to a significant extent, on the continued employment of Eduardo S. Elsztain, our chairman, and Alejandro G. Elsztain, our chief executive officer, and second vice-chairman. The loss of their services for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business. If our current principal shareholders were to lose their influence on the management of our business, our principal executive officers could resign or be removed from office.
Our future success also depends in part upon our ability to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel, or that any of our personnel will remain employed by us.
The Investment Company Act may limit our future activities.
Under Section 3(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, an investment company is defined in relevant part to include any company that owns or proposes to acquire investment securities that have a value exceeding 40% of such company’s unconsolidated total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items). Investments in minority interests of related entities as well as majority interests in consolidated subsidiaries which themselves are investment companies are included within the definition of “investment securities” for purposes of the 40% limit under the Investment Company Act.
Companies that are investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, and that do not qualify for an exemption from the provisions, are required to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are subject to substantial regulations with respect to capital structure, operations, transactions with affiliates and other matters. In the event such companies do not register under the Investment Company Act, they may not, among other things, conduct public offerings of their securities in the United States or engage in interstate commerce in the United States. Moreover, even if we desired to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company, we could not do so without an order of the Commission because we are a non-U.S. corporation, and it is unlikely that the Securities and Exchange Commission would issue such an order.
In recent years we made a significant investment in the capital stock of IRSA. As of June 30, 2014, we owned approximately 65.45% of IRSA’s outstanding shares. Although we believe we are not an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act, our belief is subject to substantial uncertainty, and we cannot give you any assurance that we would not be determined to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. As a result, the uncertainty regarding our status under the Investment Company Act may adversely affect our ability to offer and sell securities in the United States or to U.S. persons. The United States capital markets have historically been an important source of funding for us, and our future financing ability may be adversely affected by a lack of access to the United States capital markets. If an exemption under the Investment Company Act is unavailable to us in the future and we desire to access the U.S. capital markets, our only recourse would be to file an application to the SEC for an exemption from the provisions of the Investment Company Act which is a lengthy and highly uncertain process.
Moreover, if we offer and sell securities in the United States or to U.S. persons and we were deemed to be an investment company under the investment company act and not exempted from the application of the Investment Company Act, contracts we enter into in violation of, or whose performance entails a violation of, the Investment Company Act, including any such securities, may not be enforceable against us.
We hold Argentine securities which might be more volatile than U.S. securities and carry a greater risk of default.
We currently have and in the past have had certain investments in Argentine government debt securities, corporate debt securities, and equity securities. In particular, we hold a significant interest in IRSA, an Argentine company that has suffered material losses, particularly during the fiscal years 2001 and 2002. Although our holding of these investments, excluding IRSA, tends to be short term, investments in such securities involve certain risks, including:
·
|
market volatility, higher than those typically associated with U.S. government and corporate securities; and
|
Some of the issuers in which we have invested and may invest, including the Argentine government, have in the past experienced substantial difficulties in servicing their debt obligations, which have led to the restructuring of certain indebtedness. We cannot assure that the issuers in which we have invested or may invest will not be subject to similar or other difficulties in the future which may adversely affect the value of our investments in such issuers. In addition, such issuers and, therefore, such investments, are generally subject to many of the risks that are described in this section with respect to us, and, thus, could have little or no value.
Risks relating to our investment in IRSA.
IRSA’s performance is subject to risks associated with its properties and with the real estate industry.
IRSA’s economic performance and the value of their real estate assets, and consequently the value of the securities issued by them, are subject to the risk that if IRSA’s properties do not generate sufficient revenues to meet its operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, their ability to pay distributions to their shareholders and our cash flow will be adversely affected. Events or conditions beyond IRSA’s control that may adversely affect its operations or the value of its properties include:
•
|
downturns in the national, regional and local economic climate;
|
|
|
•
|
volatility and decline in discretionary spending;
|
|
|
•
|
Changes in trends in consumption.
|
|
|
•
|
competition from other shopping centers and office, industrial and commercial buildings;
|
|
|
•
|
local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for office, or other commercial or industrial space;
|
|
|
•
|
decreases in consumption levels;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in interest rates and availability of financing;
|
|
|
•
|
the exercise by IRSA’s tenants of its legal right to early termination of its leases;
|
•
|
vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space;
|
|
|
•
|
increased operating costs, including insurance expense, salary increases, utilities, real estate taxes, state and local taxes and heightened security costs;
|
|
|
•
|
civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses;
|
|
|
•
|
significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from a property;
|
|
|
•
|
declines in the financial condition of its tenants and its ability to collect rents from its tenants;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in its ability or its tenants’ ability to provide for adequate maintenance and insurance, possibly decreasing the useful life of and revenue from property; and
|
|
|
•
|
changes in law or governmental regulations (such as those governing usage, zoning and real property taxes) or government action such as expropriation or confiscation.
|
If any one or more of the foregoing conditions were to affect IRSA’s business, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
IRSA’s investment in property development, redevelopment and construction may be less profitable than we anticipate.
IRSA is a company engaged in the development and construction of office space, retail and residential properties, shopping centers and residential apartment complexes, frequently through third-party contractors. Risks associated with our development, re-development and construction activities include the following, among others:
·
|
abandonment of development opportunities and renovation proposals;
|
·
|
construction costs of a project may exceed IRSA’s original estimates for reasons including raises in interest rates or increases in the costs of materials and labor, making a project unprofitable;
|
·
|
occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, resulting in lower than projected rental rates and a corresponding lower return on our investment;
|
·
|
pre-construction buyers may default on its purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon completion of construction;
|
·
|
the unavailability of favorable financing alternatives in the private and public debt markets;
|
·
|
sale prices for residential units may be insufficient to cover development costs;
|
·
|
construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;
|
·
|
impossibility to obtain, delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, or building moratoria and anti-growth legislation;
|
·
|
significant time lags between the commencement and completion of projects subjects IRSA to greater risks due to fluctuation in the general economy;
|
·
|
construction may not be completed on schedule because of a number of factors, including weather, labor disruptions, construction delays or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, or man-made or natural disasters (such as fires, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods), resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;
|
·
|
general changes in IRSA’s tenants’ demand for rental properties outside of the city of Buenos Aires; and
|
·
|
IRSA may incur capital expenditures that could result in considerable time consuming efforts and which may never be completed due to government restrictions.
|
In addition, IRSA may face contractors’ claims for the enforcement of labor laws in Argentina (sections 30, 31 and 32 under Law No. 20,744), which provide for joint and several liability. Many companies in Argentina hire personnel from third-party companies that provide outsourced services, and sign indemnity agreements in the event of labor claims from employees of such third company that may affect the liability of such hiring company. However, in recent years, several court rulings have denied the existence of independence in those labor relationships and declared joint and several liabilities for both companies.
While IRSA’s policies with respect to expansion, renovation and development activities are intended to limit some of the risks otherwise associated with such activities, nevertheless IRSA is subject to risks associated with the construction of properties, such as cost overruns, design changes and timing delays arising from a lack of availability of materials and labor, weather conditions and other factors outside of its control, as well as financing costs, may exceed original estimates, possibly making the associated investment unprofitable. Any substantial unanticipated delays or expenses could adversely affect the investment returns from these redevelopment projects and harm its operating results.
The real estate industry in Argentina is increasingly competitive.
IRSA’s real estate and construction activities are highly concentrated in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, where the real estate market is highly competitive due to the scarcity of properties in sought-after locations and the increasing number of local and international competitors.
Furthermore, the Argentine real estate industry is generally highly competitive and fragmented and does not have high barriers to entry restricting new competitors. The main competitive factors in the real estate development business include availability and location of land, price, funding, design, quality, reputation and partnerships with developers. A number of residential and commercial developers and real estate services companies compete with it in seeking land for acquisition, financial resources for development and prospective purchasers and tenants. Other companies, including joint ventures of foreign and local companies, have become increasingly active in the real estate business in Argentina, further increasing this competition. To the extent that one or more of IRSA’s competitors are able to acquire and develop desirable properties, as a result of greater financial resources or otherwise, its business could be materially and adversely affected. If IRSA is not able to respond to such pressures as promptly as its competitors, or the level of competition increases, its financial condition and results of its operations could be adversely affected.
In addition, many of IRSA’s shopping centers are located in close proximity to other shopping centers, numerous retail stores and residential properties. The number of comparable properties located in the vicinity of its property could have a material adverse effect on its ability to lease retail space at its shopping centers or sell units in its residential complexes and on the rent price or the sale price that IRSA is able to charge. IRSA cannot assure you that other shopping center operators, including international shopping center operators, will not invest in Argentina in the near future. As additional companies become active in the Argentine shopping center market, such increased competition could have a material adverse effect on IRSA’s results of operations.
IRSA faces risks associated with property acquisitions.
IRSA has in the past acquired, and intends to acquire, properties, including large properties (such as the acquisition of Edificio República, Abasto de Buenos Aires, or Alto Palermo Shopping) that would increase its size and potentially alter its capital structure. The success of their past and future acquisitions is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the risk that:
•
|
IRSA may not be able to obtain financing for acquisitions on favorable terms;
|
|
|
•
|
acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;
|
|
|
•
|
the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than its estimates;
|
|
|
•
|
acquired properties may be located in new markets where it may have limited knowledge and understanding of the local economy, absence of business relationships in the area or unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures; and
|
|
|
•
|
IRSA may not be able to efficiently integrate acquired properties, particularly portfolios of properties, into its organization and to manage new properties in a way that allows it to realize cost savings and synergies.
|
Some of the land IRSA has purchased is not zoned for development purposes, and it may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in obtaining the necessary zoning permits and other authorizations.
IRSA owns several plots of land which are not zoned for the type of projects it intends to develop. In addition, IRSA does not yet have the required land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. IRSA cannot assure you that it will continue to be successful in its attempts to rezone land and to obtain all necessary permits and authorizations, or that rezoning efforts and permit requests will not be unreasonably delayed or rejected. Moreover, IRSA may be affected by building moratorium and anti-growth legislation. If it is unable to obtain all of the governmental permits and authorizations it needs to develop its present and future projects as planned, IRSA may be forced to make unwanted modifications to such projects or abandon them altogether.
Acquired properties may subject IRSA to unknown liabilities.
Properties that IRSA acquires may be subject to unknown liabilities for which it would have no recourse, or only limited recourse, to the former owners of such properties. As a result, if a liability were asserted against it based upon ownership of an acquired property, IRSA might be required to pay significant sums to settle it, which could adversely affect its financial results and cash flow. Unknown liabilities relating to acquired properties could include:
•
|
liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination;
|
|
|
•
|
law reforms and governmental regulations (such as those governing usage, zoning and real property taxes); and
|
|
|
•
|
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.
|
Some potential losses are not covered by insurance, and certain kinds of insurance coverage may become prohibitively expensive.
IRSA currently carries insurance policies that cover potential risks such as civil liability, fire, loss of profit, floods, including extended coverage and losses from leases on all of its properties. Although IRSA believes the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are generally customary, there are certain types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims, terrorism and acts of war that generally are not insured. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, IRSA could lose all or a portion of the capital it has invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. In such an event, IRSA might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. IRSA cannot assure you that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt its operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Moreover, IRSA does not purchase life or disability insurance for any of our key employees. If any of its key employees were to die or become incapacitated, it would experience losses caused by a disruption in its operations which will not be covered by insurance, and this could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, IRSA cannot assure you that it will be able to renew its insurance coverage in an adequate amount or at reasonable prices. Insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts and mold, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive.
IRSA’s dependence on rental income may adversely affect its ability to meet its debt obligations.
The substantial part of IRSA’s income is derived from rental income from real property. As a result, IRSA’s performance depends on its ability to collect rent from its tenants. IRSA’s income and funds for distribution would be negatively affected if a significant number of its tenants or any of its major tenants (as discussed in more detail below):
•
|
delay lease commencements;
|
|
|
•
|
decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;
|
|
|
•
|
fail to make rental payments when due; or
|
|
|
•
|
close stores or declare bankruptcy.
|
Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenants’ leases and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases. In addition, IRSA cannot assure you that any tenant whose lease expires will renew that lease or that we will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms. The loss of rental revenues from a number of our tenants and our inability to replace such tenants may adversely affect our profitability and our ability to meet debt and other financial obligations.
Demand for IRSA’s premium properties which target the high-income demographic may be insufficient.
IRSA has focused on development projects intended to cater to affluent individuals and has entered into property swap agreements pursuant to which IRSA contributes its undeveloped properties to ventures with developers who will deliver to its units in premium locations. At the time the developers return these properties to it, demand for premium residential units could be significantly lower. In such case, IRSA would be unable to sell these residential units at the estimated prices or in the time frame it estimated, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly and transfer restrictions apply to some of IRSA’s properties.
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and this tends to limit its ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changes in the economy or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with each equity investment, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in income from a certain investment. If income from a property declines while the related expenses do not decline, IRSA’s business would be adversely affected. Some of its properties are mortgaged to secure payment of its indebtedness, and if IRSA is unable to meet its mortgage payments, it could lose money as a result of foreclosure on such mortgages and even lose such property. In addition, if it becomes necessary or desirable for it to dispose of one or more of the mortgaged properties, IRSA might not be able to obtain a release of the lien on the mortgaged property without payment of the associated debt. The foreclosure of a mortgage on a property or inability to sell a property could adversely affect its business. In the type of transactions of this kind, IRSA may also agree, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell the acquired properties for significant periods of time.
An adverse economic environment for real estate companies and the credit crisis may adversely impact our results of operations and business prospects significantly.
The success of IRSA’s business and profitability of its operations are dependent on continued investment in the real estate markets and access to capital and debt financing. A long term crisis of confidence in real estate investments and lack of available credit for acquisitions would be likely to constrain our business growth. As part of our business goals, IRSA intends to increase our properties portfolio with strategic acquisitions of core properties at advantageous prices, and core plus and value added properties where IRSA believes it can bring necessary expertise to enhance property values.
In order to pursue acquisitions, IRSA may need access to equity capital and/or debt financing. Recent disruptions in the financial markets, including the bankruptcy and restructuring of major financial institutions, may adversely impact IRSA’s ability to refinance existing debt and the availability and cost of credit in the near future. Any consideration of sales of existing properties or portfolio interests may be tempered by decreasing property values. IRSA’s ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance its obligations with respect to indebtedness depends on its operating and financial performance, which in turn is subject to prevailing economic conditions. If a recurrence of the disruptions in financial markets presents itself in the future, there can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will restore investor confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit.
IRSA’s level of debt may adversely affect its operations and its ability to pay its debt as it becomes due.
IRSA had, and expects to continue to have, substantial liquidity and capital resource requirements to finance its business. As of June 30, 2014, IRSA’s consolidated financial debt was Ps. 4,493 million (including short-term and long-term debt, accrued interest and deferred financing costs).
Although IRSA is generating sufficient funds from operating cash flows to satisfy its debt service requirements and its capacity to obtain new financing is adequate given the current availability of credit lines with the banks, IRSA cannot assure you that it will maintain such cash flow and adequate financial capacity in the future.
The fact that we are leveraged may affect our ability to refinance existing debt or borrow additional funds to finance working capital, acquisitions and capital expenditures. In addition, the recent disruptions in the global financial markets, including the bankruptcy and restructuring of major financial institutions, may adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt and the availability and cost of credit in the future. In such conditions, access to equity and debt financing options may be restricted and it may be uncertain how long these circumstances last.
This would require IRSA to allocate a substantial portion of cash flow to repay principal and interest, thereby reducing the amount of money available to invest in operations, including acquisitions and capital expenditures. Its leverage could also affect its competitiveness and limit its ability to react to changes in market conditions, changes in the real estate industry and economic downturns.
IRSA may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy its debt service requirements or to obtain future financing. If IRSA cannot satisfy its debt service requirements or if IRSA default on any financial or other covenants in its debt arrangements, the lenders and/or holders of its debt will be able to accelerate the maturity of such debt or cause defaults under the other debt arrangements. IRSA’s ability to service debt obligations or to refinance them will depend upon its future financial and operating performance, which will, in part, be subject to factors beyond its control such as macroeconomic conditions (including the recent international credit crisis) and regulatory changes in Argentina. If it cannot obtain future financing, it may have to delay or abandon some or all of its planned capital expenditures, which could adversely affect its ability to generate cash flows and repay its obligations.
IRSA may be negatively affected by a financial crisis in the U.S., the European Union and global capital markets.
IRSA must maintain liquidity to fund its working capital, service its outstanding indebtedness and finance investment opportunities. Without sufficient liquidity, IRSA could be forced to curtail its operations or may not be able to pursue new business opportunities.
The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption during the last credit crisis. If IRSA´s current resources do not satisfy IRSA´s liquidity requirements, IRSA may have to seek additional financing. The availability of financing will depend on a variety of factors, such as economic and market conditions, the availability of credit and IRSA´s credit ratings, as well as the possibility that lenders could develop a negative perception of the prospects of IRSA or the industry generally. IRSA may not be able to successfully obtain any necessary additional financing on favorable terms.
The recurrence of a credit crisis could have a negative impact on its major customers, which in turn could materially adversely affect its results of operations and liquidity.
The recent credit crisis had a significant negative impact on businesses around the world. The impact of a crisis on its major tenants cannot be predicted and may be quite severe. A disruption in the ability of its significant tenants to access liquidity could cause serious disruptions or an overall deterioration of its businesses which could lead to a significant reduction in its future orders of its products and the inability or failure on its part to meet its payment obligations to us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on IRSA’s results of operations and liquidity.
Adverse incidents that occur in IRSA´s shopping centers may result in damage to IRSA´s image and a decrease in IRSA´s customers.
Given that shopping centers are open to the public, with ample circulation of people, accidents, theft, robbery and other incidents may occur in IRSA´s facilities, regardless of the preventative measures which may be adopted. In the event such an incident or series of incidents occurs, shopping center customers and visitors may choose to visit other shopping venues that they believe are safer and less violent, which may cause a reduction in the sales volume and operating income of IRSA´s shopping centers.
IRSA is subject to risks inherent to the operation of shopping centers that may affect its profitability.
Shopping centers are subject to various factors that affect their development, administration and profitability. These factors include:
•
|
the accessibility and the attractiveness of the area where the shopping center is located;
|
|
|
•
|
the intrinsic attractiveness of the shopping center;
|
|
|
•
|
the flow of people and the level of sales of each shopping center rental unit;
|
|
|
•
|
increasing competition from internet sales;
|
|
|
•
|
the amount of rent collected from each shopping center rental unit;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in consumer demand and availability of consumer credit, both of which are highly sensitive to general macroeconomic conditions; and
|
|
|
•
|
the fluctuations in occupancy levels in the shopping centers.
|
An increase in operating costs, caused by inflation or other factors, could have a material adverse effect on IRSA if its tenants are unable to pay higher rent due to the increase in expenses. Moreover, the shopping center business is closely related to consumer spending and to the economy in which customers are located. All of IRSA’s shopping centers are in Argentina, and, as a consequence, their business could be seriously affected by potential recession in Argentina. For example, during the economic crisis in Argentina, spending decreased significantly, unemployment, political instability and inflation significantly reduced consumer spending in Argentina, lowering tenants’ sales and forcing some tenants to leave IRSA’s shopping centers. If the international financial crisis has a substantial impact on economic activity in Argentina, it will likely have a material adverse effect on the revenues from the shopping center activity.
The loss of significant tenants could adversely affect both the operating revenues and value of IRSA’s shopping center and other rental properties.
If some of IRSA’s most important tenants were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn of business, or if it simply failed to retain its patronage, IRSA’s business could be adversely affected. IRSA’s shopping centers and, to a lesser extent, its office buildings are typically anchored by significant tenants, such as well-known department stores who generate shopping traffic at the mall. A decision by such significant tenants to cease operations at IRSA’s shopping centers or office buildings could have a material adverse effect on the revenues and profitability of the affected segment and, by extension, on its financial condition and results of operations. The closing of one or more significant tenants may induce other major tenants of an affected property to terminate their leases, to seek rent relief and/or cease operating their stores or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the property. In addition, key tenants at one or more properties might terminate their leases as a result of mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or bankruptcies in the retail industry. The bankruptcy and/or closure of one or more significant tenants, if IRSA is not able to successfully re-lease the affected space, could have a material adverse effect on both the operating revenues and underlying value of the properties involved.
IRSA’s future acquisitions may be unprofitable.
IRSA intends to acquire additional shopping center properties to the extent that they will be acquired on advantageous terms and meet our investment criteria. Acquisitions of commercial properties entail general investment risks associated with any real estate investment, including:
•
|
IRSA estimates of the cost of improvements needed to bring the property up to established standards for the market may prove to be inaccurate;
|
|
|
•
|
properties IRSA acquire may fail to achieve within the time frames IRSA projects the occupancy or rental rates IRSA projects at the time IRSA makes the decision to acquire, which may result in the properties’ failure to achieve the returns IRSA projected;
|
|
|
•
|
IRSA’s pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs, which could significantly increase its total acquisition costs; and
|
|
|
•
|
IRSA’s investigation of a property or building prior to its acquisition, and any representations IRSA may receive from the seller of such building or property, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase IRSA’s acquisition cost.
|
If IRSA acquires a business, it will be required to integrate the operations, personnel and accounting and information systems of the acquired business. In addition, acquisitions of or investments in companies may cause disruptions in IRSA’s operations and divert management’s attention away from day-to-day operations, which could impair IRSA’s relationships with its current tenants and employees.
IRSA’s ability to grow will be limited if they cannot obtain additional capital.
IRSA´s growth strategy is focused on the redevelopment of properties IRSA already owns and the acquisition and development of additional properties. As a result, IRSA is likely to depend to an important degree on the availability of debt or equity capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms. IRSA cannot guarantee that additional financing, refinancing or other capital will be available in the amounts IRSA desires or favorable terms. IRSA´s access to debt or equity capital markets depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of IRSA´s growth potential, IRSA´s ability to pay dividends, its financial condition, its credit rating and its current and potential future earnings. Depending on the outcome of these factors, IRSA could experience delay or difficulty in implementing its growth strategy on satisfactory terms, or be unable to implement this strategy.
Serious illnesses and pandemics, such as the 2009 outbreak of Influenza A H1N1 virus (the “Swine Flu”), have in the past adversely affected consumer and tourist activity, may do so in the future and may adversely affect our results of operations.
As a result of the outbreak of Swine Flu during the winter of 2009, consumers and tourists dramatically changed their spending and travel habits to avoid contact with crowds. Furthermore, several governments’ enacted regulations limiting the operation of schools, cinemas and shopping centers. Even though the Argentine government only issued public service recommendations to the population regarding the risks involved in visiting crowded places, such as shopping centers, and did not issue specific regulations limiting access to public places, a significant number of consumers nonetheless changed their habits vis-a-vis shopping centers and malls. In addition, as of the date of this annual report, a remote but possible outbreak of ebola may endanger our activities if such outbreak actually occurs and the government decides to take measures to limit interaction between large concentrations of people. We cannot assure you that a new outbreak or health hazard will not occur in the future, or that such an outbreak or health hazard would not significantly affect consumer and/or tourist activity, and that such scenario would not adversely affect our businesses.
IRSA is subject to risks inherent to the operation of office buildings that may affect its profitability.
Office buildings are subject to various factors that affect their development, administration and profitability. The profitability of IRSA’s office buildings may be affected by:
•
|
a decrease in demand for office space;
|
|
|
•
|
a deterioration in the financial condition of IRSA´s tenants, which may result in defaults under leases due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity or for other reasons;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties or delays renewing leases or re-leasing space;
|
|
|
•
|
decreases in rents as a result of oversupply, particularly of newer buildings;
|
•
|
competition from developers, owners and operators of office properties and other commercial real estate, including sublease space available from our tenants; and
|
|
|
•
|
maintenance, repair and renovation costs incurred to maintain the competitiveness of our office buildings.
|
IRSA is subject to risks affecting the hotel industry.
The full-service segment of the lodging industry in which IRSA’s hotels operate is highly competitive. The operational success of IRSA’s hotels is highly dependent on its ability to compete in areas such as access, location, quality of accommodations, rates, quality food and beverage facilities and other services and amenities. IRSA’s hotels may face additional competition if other companies decide to build new hotels or improve their existing hotels to increase their attractiveness.
In addition, the profitability of IRSA’s hotels depends on:
•
|
IRSA’s ability to form successful relationships with international and local operators to run its hotels;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in tourism and travel patterns, including seasonal changes and changes due to pandemic outbreaks, such as the A H1N1 virus; or weather phenomenon or other natural events, such as the eruption of the Puyehué volcano in June 2011;
|
|
|
•
|
affluence of tourists, which can be affected by a slowdown in global economy; and
|
|
|
•
|
taxes and governmental regulations affecting wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs.
|
An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the policies on IRSA’s properties could subject to lost capital or revenue on those properties.
Under the terms and conditions of the leases currently in force on IRSA’s properties, tenants are required to indemnify and hold harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, or property, on or off the premises, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from our negligence or intentional misconduct or that of its agents.
Tenants are generally required, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and property damage insurance policies. In addition, IRSA cannot assure the holders that the tenants will properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles.
Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, IRSA could lose all or part of its capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
IRSA’s business is subject to extensive regulation and additional regulations may be imposed in the future.
IRSA´s activities are subject to federal, state and municipal laws, and to regulations, authorizations and licenses required with respect to construction, zoning, use of the soil, environmental protection and historical patrimony, consumer protection and other requirements, all of which affect its ability to acquire land, buildings and shopping centers, develop and build projects and negotiate with customers. In addition, companies in this industry are subject to increasing tax rates, the creation of new taxes and changes in the taxation regime. IRSA is required to obtain licenses and authorizations with different governmental authorities in order to carry out IRSA´s projects. Maintaining IRSA´s licenses and authorizations can be a costly provision. In the case of non-compliance with such laws, regulations, licenses and authorizations, IRSA may face fines, project shutdowns, and cancellation of licenses and revocation of authorizations.
In addition, public authorities may issue new and stricter standards, or enforce or construe existing laws and regulations in a more restrictive manner, which may force IRSA to make expenditures to comply with such new rules. Development activities are also subject to risks relating to potential delays in obtaining or an inability to obtain all necessary zoning, environmental, land-use, development, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. Any delays or failures to obtain government approvals may have an adverse effect on IRSA´s business.
In the past, the Argentine government imposed strict and burdensome regulations regarding leases in response to housing shortages, high rates of inflation and difficulties in accessing credit. Such regulations limited or prohibited increases on rental prices and prohibited eviction of tenants, even for failure to pay rent. Most of IRSA´s leases provide that the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to their respective leased areas. In the event of a significant increase in the amount of such costs and taxes, the Argentine government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby negatively affecting IRSA´s rental income. IRSA cannot assure you that the Argentine government will not impose similar or other regulations in the future. Changes in existing laws or the enactment of new laws governing the ownership, operation or leasing of properties in Argentina could negatively affect the Argentine real estate market and the rental market and materially and adversely affect IRSA´s operations and profitability.
Argentine Lease Law No. 23,091 imposes restrictions that limit IRSA´s flexibility.
Argentine laws governing leases impose certain restrictions, including the following:
•
|
lease agreements may not contain inflation adjustment clauses based on consumer price indexes or wholesale price indexes. Although many of IRSA’s lease agreements contain readjustment clauses, these are not based on an official index nor do they reflect the inflation index. In the event of litigation these provisions may not be enforceable and therefore it may be impossible for IRSA to adjust the amounts owed to IRSA under its lease agreements;
|
|
|
•
|
residential leases must comply with a mandatory minimum term of two years and retail leases must comply with a mandatory minimum term of three years except in the case of stands and/or spaces for special exhibitions;
|
•
|
lease terms may not exceed ten years, except for leases regulated by Law No. 25,248 (which provides that leases containing a purchase option are not subject to term limitations); and
|
|
|
•
|
tenants may rescind commercial and office lease agreements after the initial six-month period.
|
As a result of the foregoing, IRSA is exposed to the risk of increases of inflation under its leases and the exercise of rescission rights by IRSA´s tenants could materially and adversely affect its business, therefore IRSA cannot assure you that its tenants will not exercise such rights, especially if rent values stabilize or decline in the future or if economic conditions deteriorate.
Eviction proceedings in Argentina are difficult and time consuming.
Although Argentine law permits a summary proceeding to collect unpaid rent and a special proceeding to evict tenants, eviction proceedings in Argentina are difficult and time-consuming. Historically, the heavy workloads of the courts and the numerous procedural steps required have generally delayed landlords’ efforts to evict tenants. Eviction proceedings generally take between six months and two years from the date the suit is filed to the time of actual eviction.
IRSA usually attempts to negotiate the termination of lease agreements with defaulting tenants after the first few months of non-payment in order to avoid legal proceedings. Delinquency may increase significantly in the future, and such negotiations with tenants may not be as successful as they have been in the past. Moreover, new Argentine laws and regulations may forbid or restrict eviction proceedings, and in such case, they would likely have a material and adverse effect on IRSA´s financial condition and results of operation.
IRSA is subject to great competitive pressure.
IRSA´s principal properties are located in Argentina. There are other shopping centers and numerous smaller retail stores and residential properties within the market area of each of IRSA´s properties. The number of competing properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on IRSA´s ability to lease retail space at its shopping centers or sell units in its residential complexes and on the amount of rent or the sale price that IRSA is able to charge. To date, there have been relatively few companies competing with IRSA´s for shopping center properties. However, if additional companies become active in the Argentine shopping center market in the future, such competition could have a material adverse effect on IRSA´s results of operations.
IRSA’s assets are concentrated in the Buenos Aires area.
IRSA´s principal properties are located in the City of Buenos Aires and the Province of Buenos Aires and a substantial portion of its revenues are derived from such properties. For IRSA´s fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, approximately 83% and 84% of IRSA´s consolidated revenues were derived from properties in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area including the City of Buenos Aires. Although IRSA owns properties and may acquire or develop additional properties outside Buenos Aires, IRSA expects continued dependence to a large extent on economic conditions affecting those areas, and therefore, an economic downturn in those areas could have a material adverse effect on IRSA´s financial condition and results of operations.
IRSA faces risks associated with the expansion to other latin american markets.
From 1994 to 2002, IRSA had substantial investments outside of Argentina, including Brazil Realty, which was sold in 2002, and Fondo de Valores Inmobiliarios in Venezuela, which was sold in 2001.
IRSA continue to believe that Brazil, Uruguay and other latin american countries offer attractive growth opportunities in the real estate sector. IRSA will continue to consider investment opportunities outside of Argentina as they arise.
Investments in Brazil and other latin american countries are subject to significant risks including sovereign risks and risks affecting these countries’ real estate sectors. These risks include competition by well-established as well as new developers, unavailability of financing or financing on terms that are not acceptable to IRSA, exchange rate fluctuations, lack of liquidity in the market, rising construction costs and inflation, extensive and potentially increasing regulation and bureaucratic procedures for obtaining permits and authorizations, political and economic instability that may result in sharp shifts in demand for properties, risks of default in payment and difficulty evicting defaulting tenants.
In 2009, IRSA has acquired a property in Partido de la Costa, Department of Canelones, Uruguay, near Montevideo, where IRSA plans to develop a real estate housing units and commercial premises.
IRSA faces risks associated with its expansion in the United States.
On July 2, 2008, we acquired 30% interest in Metropolitan 885 LLC (“Metropolitan”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, United States of America. During fiscal year 2011, as a result of certain negotiations, an agreement was reached to restructure Metropolitan’s debt; After the consummation of the aforementioned restructuring, we indirectly hold 49% of New Lipstick LLC (“New Lipstick”), a holding company which is the owner of Metropolitan. Metropolitan’s main asset is the Lipstick Building, a 34-story building located on Third Avenue between 53 and 54 streets in Manhattan, New York. Metropolitan has incurred in a secured loan in connection with the Lipstick Building. For more information about Metropolitan, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”.
Since August 2009 we acquired and subsequently sold part of our equity interests in Hersha Hospitality Trust (“Hersha”). Hersha´s main assets are hotels, most of them are located in the east coast of the United States. On June 17, 2013, through our subsidiaries, we sold 13,282,218 common shares of Hersha Hospitality Trust. Accordingly, our indirect interest in Hersha decreased from 7.19% to 0.49%, with our holding a residual interest of 1,000,000 common shares. After fiscal year-end we sold our its residual interest in Hersha for US$ 6.74 per share. As a result we do not longer hold any interest in Hersha.
In December 2010, through Rigby 183 LLC (“Rigby”), in which we indirectly hold a 49% equity interest through IMadison LLC (“Imadison”), jointly with other partners, we acquired a building located at 183 Madison Avenue, Midtown South, Manhattan, New York. On November 27, 2012, we increased our interest in Rigby to 74.50%, thus consolidating the results of the investment in the company’s statement of income. On September 29, 2014, we closed the sale of the Madison 183 building, for more information plase see “Recent Developments”.
In March 2012, through our subsidiary Real Estate Strategies, L.P. (“RES”), we acquired 3,000,000 Series C convertible preferred shares issued by Supertel Hospitality Inc. (“Supertel”) in an aggregate amount of US$ 30,000,000, a REIT focused in middle-class and long-stay hotels in 20 states in the United States of America.
IRSA face risks associated with its investment in Israel
On May 7, 2014, IRSA, acting indirectly through Dolphin Netherlands B.V. (“Dolphin Netherlands”), subsidiary of Dolphin Fund Limited (“DFL”), an investment fund incorporated under the laws of the Island of Bermuda, acquired, jointly with C.A.A. Extra Holdings Limited (“ETH”), 106.6 million common shares in IDB Development Corporation Ltd. (“IDBD”) representing in the aggregate 53.33% of IDBD’s issued and outstanding capital stock, pursuant to an arrangement (approved by the competent court) of IDBD’s holding company, IDB Holdings Corporation Ltd. with its creditors (the “IDBD Investment”). Under the terms of the shareholders´ agreement between DFL and E.T.H. M.B.M. Extra Holdings Ltd., a controlled company of Mordechay Ben Moshé, to which Dolphin Netherlands and ETH acceded, Dolphin Netherlands and certain other third party investors acquired a 50% interest in half of the shares representing 53.33% of IDBD and ETH acquired the half of such shares. The aggregate amount initially invested by Dolphin Netherland and ETH was NIS 950 million, equivalent to approximately US$272 million at the exchange rate prevailing on that date. As of June 30, 2014, IRSA’s aggregate indirect interest in IDBD represented 23% of its issued and outstanding capital stock.
The terms of the arrangement (approved by the competent court) include further obligations to be performed by Dolphin Netherlands , including additional contributions in future rights offerings of IDBD and the launching of certain tenders offers to acquire additional shares of IDBD in the market prior to 2015 and 2016 at a fixed price as set forth in the arrangement (approved by the competent court). In connection therewith, IRSA is subject to the fluctuation of the market value of the IDBD’s shares traded in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange prevailing on the date of the launching of each tender offer. In addition, as security for the performance of the obligation to launch the required tender offers, Dolphin Netherlands have pledged a significant portion of its shares of IDBD in favor of its creditors. If Dolphin Netherlands does not perform its obligations, Dolphin Netherlands' pledged shares may be foreclosed upon and therefore IRSA may lose a significant portion of its investment in IDBD.
Following the closing of IRSA’s initial investment in IDBD in May 2014,Dolphin Netherlands increased its interest in IDBD through the participation in the rights issuance published by IDBD in June 2014 and purchases of shares in market transactions.
IDBD is one of the largest business groups in Israel. Particularly, due to the limited size of the Israeli market and due to the high level of regulation, IDBD and its group of companies may be limited to expand its business in the future, to form joint ventures and strategic alliances. In addition, pursuant to the regulatory framework IDBD may be obliged to sell, transfer or dispose any of its assets. Furthermore, IDBD is a holding corporation. Changes in the prices of the securities of IDBD’s subsidiaries and of companies held by them can affect, directly or indirectly, the business results, shareholders' equity, cash flows, the value of IDBD and/or the equity value; they can also have an impact on the possibilities and terms of realization of these assets, on the ability to distribute dividends, on the availability of credit and financing and the terms thereof. IDBD is indirectly exposed and mainly through its major investments and their investee companies, to changes in the prices of raw materials, the prices of securities, other prices and other economic indices, which may have a material impact on the assets and liabilities of the companies, including the liabilities of the companies to vendors, customer debts to the companies, the value of inventories held by the companies and of other assets and liabilities.
In addition, there are several risks associated with IDBD´s (including its subsidiaries) operations in Israel.
Conditions in Israel may limit the ability of IDBD to develop and sell products, which could result in a decrease of revenues.
IDBD´s corporate headquarters and a substantial business are located in Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries, as well as incidents of terror activities and other hostilities. Political, economic and security conditions in Israel could directly affect IDBD´s operations. IDBD could be adversely affected by hostilities involving Israel, including acts of terrorism or any other hostilities involving or threatening Israel, the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners, a significant increase in inflation or a significant downturn in the economic or financial condition of Israel. Any on-going or future armed conflicts, terrorist activities, tension along the Israeli borders or political instability in the region could disrupt international trading activities in Israel and may materially and negatively affect IDBD´s business and could harm the results of its operations.
Certain countries, as well as certain companies and organizations, continue to participate or may decide to participate in a boycott of Israeli companies, companies with large Israeli operations and others doing business with Israel and Israeli companies. The boycott, restrictive laws, policies or practices directed towards Israel, Israeli businesses or Israeli citizens could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on IDBD´s business in the future.
The rights and responsibilities of IDBD´s shareholders are governed by Israeli law and differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders under U.S. law.
IDBD is incorporated under Israeli law. The rights and responsibilities of holders of the ordinary shares of IDBD are governed by IDBD´s articles of association and by Israeli law. These rights and responsibilities differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations. In particular, a shareholder of an Israeli company has a duty to act in good faith in exercising his or her rights and fulfilling his or her obligations toward the company and other shareholders and to refrain from abusing his power in the company, including, among other things, in voting at the general meeting of shareholders on certain matters. Israeli law provides that these duties are applicable in shareholder votes at the general meeting with respect to, among other things, amendments to a company’s articles of association, increases in a company’s authorized share capital, mergers and actions and transactions involving interests of officers, directors or other interested parties which require the shareholders’ general meeting’s approval. In addition, a controlling shareholder of an Israeli company or a shareholder who knows that he or she possesses the power to determine the outcome of a vote at a meeting of IRSA’s shareholders, or who has, by virtue of the company’s articles of association, the power to appoint or prevent the appointment of an office holder in the company, or any other power with respect to the company, has a duty of fairness toward the company. The Israeli Companies Law does not establish criteria for determining whether or not a shareholder has acted in good faith.
If the bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. is extended to IRSA´s subsidiary Puerto Retiro, IRSA will likely lose a significant investment in a unique waterfront land reserve in the City of Buenos Aires.
On November 18, 1997, IRSA, in connection with the acquisition of its subsidiary Inversora Bolívar S.A. (“Inversora Bolívar”), indirectly acquired 35.2% of the capital stock of Puerto Retiro. Inversora Bolívar purchased such shares of Puerto Retiro from Redona Investments Ltd. N.V. in 1996. In 1999, IRSA, through Inversora Bolívar, increased its interest in Puerto Retiro to 50.0% of its capital stock. On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro received notice of a complaint filed by the Argentine government, through the Ministry of Defense, seeking to extend the bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. (“Indarsa”). Upon filing of the complaint, the bankruptcy court issued an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro to dispose of the real property it had purchased in 1993 from Tandanor S.A. (“Tandanor”). Puerto Retiro appealed to the restraining order which was confirmed by the court on December 14, 2000.
In 1991, Indarsa purchased 90% of Tandanor, a formerly government-owned company, which owned a large piece of land near Puerto Madero of approximately 8 hectares, divided into two spaces: Planta 1 and 2. After the purchase of Tandanor by Indarsa, in June 1993 Tandanor sold “Planta 1” to Puerto Retiro, for a sum of US$18 million pursuant to a valuation performed by J.L. Ramos, a well-known real estate brokerage firm in Argentina. Indarsa failed to pay to the Argentine government the outstanding price for its purchase of the stock of Tandanor. As a result, the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Since the only asset of Indarsa was its holding in Tandanor, the Argentine government is seeking to extend Indarsa’s bankruptcy to the companies or individuals, which, according to its view, acted as a single economic group. In particular, the Argentine government has requested the extension of the bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro, which acquired Planta 1 from Tandanor.
The time for producing evidence in relation to these legal proceeding has expired. The parties have submitted their closing arguments and are awaiting a final judgment. However, the judge has delayed his decision until a final judgment in the criminal proceedings against the former Defense Minister and former directors of Indarsa has been delivered. It should be noticed, regarding the above mentioned criminal procedure that on February 23, 2011 it was resolved to declare its expiration, and to dismiss certain defendants. However, this resolution is not final because it was appealed. IRSA cannot give you any assurance that the company will prevail in this proceeding.
Property ownership through joint ventures or minority participation may limit IRSA´s ability to act exclusively in its interest.
IRSA develops and acquires properties in joint ventures with other persons or entities when IRSA believes circumstances warrant the use of such structures. For example, in its Shopping Center segment, as of June 30, 2014, IRSA owned approximately 95.7% of Alto Palermo. Through its subsidiary Alto Palermo, IRSA own 80% of Panamerican Mall S.A., while another 20% is owned by Centro Comercial Panamericano S.A and 50% of Quality Invest S.A.. In IRSA´s Sales and Developments segment, IRSA has ownership of 50% in Puerto Retiro and 50% in Cyrsa S.A. In IRSA´s Hotels segment, IRSA owns 50% of the Llao Llao Hotel, while the other 50% is owned by the Sutton Group. IRSA owns 80% of the Hotel Libertador, Hoteles Sheraton de Argentina S.A. owns 20%.
IRSA owns 76.34% of Hotel Intercontinental. In the Financial Operations and Others segment, IRSA owns approximately 29.77% of Banco Hipotecario, while the Argentine government has a controlling interest. Finally, IRSA owns a 49% interest in Metropolitan, 49% in a building located at Madison Avenue in New York (for more information see “Recent Development”), and holds voting rights with respect to a 34% interest in Supertel Hospitality Inc. and an indirect interest in IDBD of 23%.
IRSA could engage in a dispute with one or more of its joint venture partners that might affect its ability to operate a jointly owned property. Moreover, its joint venture partners may at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with its objectives, including objectives that relate to the timing and terms of any sale or refinancing of a property. For example, the approval of certain of the other investors is required with respect to operating budgets and refinancing, encumbering, expanding or selling any of these properties. In some instances, its joint venture partners may have competing interests in its markets that could create conflicts of interest. If the objectives of its joint venture partners are inconsistent with its own objectives, IRSA will not be able to act exclusively in its interests.
If one or more of the investors in any of its jointly owned properties were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn of business, there could be an adverse effect on the relevant property or properties and in turn, on its financial performance. Should a joint venture partner declare bankruptcy, IRSA could be liable for its partner’s share of joint venture liabilities.
IRSA is dependent on its board of directors and certain other senior managers.
IRSA´s success depends on the continued employment of Eduardo S. Elsztain, its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and certain members of its board of directors and senior management, who have significant expertise and knowledge of its business and industry. The loss of or interruption in his services for any reason could have a material adverse effect on its business. IRSA´s future success also depends in part upon its ability to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel. IRSA cannot assure you that we will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel. A failure to hire or retain qualified personnel may have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
Due to the currency mismatches between assets and liabilities, IRSA may have a significant currency exposure.
As of June 30, 2014, the majority of IRSA´s liabilities, such as its 8.5% and 11.5% notes due 2017 and 2020 respectively, Alto Palermo’s Series I Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars, while a significant portion of its revenues and assets as of June 30, 2014, are denominated in Pesos. This currency gap exposes IRSA to a risk of exchange rate volatility, which would negatively affect its financial results if the Dollar were to appreciate against the Peso. Any further depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. dollar will correspondingly increase the amount of its debt in Pesos, with further adverse effects on its results of operation and financial condition and may increase the collection risk of its leases and other receivables from its tenants and mortgage debtors, most of whom have Pesodenominated revenues.
The shift of consumers to purchasing goods over the Internet may negatively affect sales in IRSA´s shopping centers.
During the last years, Internet retail sales have grown significantly in Argentina, even though the market share of Internet sales related to retail sales is still not significant. The Internet enables manufacturers and retailers to sell directly to consumers, diminishing the importance of traditional distribution channels such as retail stores and shopping centers. IRSA believes that its target consumers are increasingly using the Internet, from home, work or elsewhere, to shop electronically for retail goods. IRSA believes that this trend is likely to continue. If e-commerce and retail sales through the Internet continue to grow, consumers’ reliance on traditional distribution channels such as IRSA´s shopping centers could be materially diminished, having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.
Risks Related to IRSA´s Investment in Banco Hipotecario
IRSA’s Investment in Banco Hipotecario
As of June 30, 2014, IRSA owned approximately 29.77% of the outstanding capital stock of Banco Hipotecario, which represented 12.35% of IRSA’s consolidated assets as of such date. Substantially all of Banco Hipotecario’s operations, properties and customers are located in Argentina. Accordingly, the quality of Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio, financial condition and results of operations depend on economic, regulatory and political conditions prevailing in Argentina.
These conditions include growth rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, changes to interest rates, changes to government policies, social instability and other political, economic or international developments either taking place in, or otherwise affecting, Argentina.
Risks Relating to the Argentine Financial System
The short term structure of the deposit base of the Argentine financial system could lead to a reduction in liquidity levels and limit the long-term expansion of financial intermediation.
After the 2001 crisis, the volume of financial activity regarding deposits and loans was severely reduced. Between 2003 and 2007, a gradual and increasing recovery of deposits levels took place. But because of the global financial crisis, these levels were reduced during 2008 and further improved during the last semester of 2009, until the present date.
The argentine financial system growth strongly depends on the deposits levels, due to the small size of its capital markets and the absence of foreign financings during the last years. In the medium term, the growth of credit could depend on the growth of the deposits levels. During the last three years (2011-2013) credit was able to grow at a higher rate than deposits, by consuming the liquidity excesses of financial institutions. This scenario seems no longer possible; therefore from now on, credits growth will depend on deposits levels. This adjustment is currently taking place with an interest rate increase.
The liquidity of the argentine financial system at the present date is reasonable, due to the high level of mandatory deposits reserves of argentine financial entities. Notwithstanding that, because most deposits are short term deposits, a substantial part of the credits must have the same maturity, and there is a small proportion of long term credit lines, such as mortgages. Moreover, the restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency naturally reduce the volatility of the local currency deposits.
Although at the present date liquidity levels are reasonable, no assurance can be given that this levels will not be reduced due to a future negative economic scenario. Therefore, there is still a risk of low liquidity levels that could increase funding cost in the event of a withdrawal of significant portions of the deposit base of the financial system, and limit the long-term expansion of financial intermediation.
The instability of the regulatory framework, in particular the regulatory framework affecting financial entities, could have a material adverse effect in financial entities activities, such as Banco Hipotecario.
Since the beginning of Cristina Kirchner’s second term as President, a series of new regulations have been issued, mainly regulating the foreign exchange market and new capital requirements for financial institutions. In this regard, Communications “A” 5272 and 5273 of the Central Bank, dated February 1, 2012, increased the capital requirements for financial institutions carrying out activities in Argentina. These Communications require certain minimum capital levels in order to support operational risks and the distribution of dividends, and an additional capital buffer equivalent to 75% of the total capital requirements. The Central Bank has stated that these new requirements are based on the credit risk measure required by Basel II.
Moreover, a new law was approved by the Congress introducing amendments to the Central Bank ´s charter. The principal issues addressed by this bill are the use of Central Bank’s reserves for the cancellation of public debt together with the implementation of polices by the Central Bank in order to interfere in the fixing of interest rates, and terms of loans to financial institutions.
The Central Bank issued two Communications, “A” 5319 and “A” 5380 dated July 5, 2012 and December 21, 2012 respectively, and Communication “A” 5516 dated December 27, 2013, whereby it is mandatory for banks to grant credit lines for productive purposes.
On October 1, 2013 Central Bank issued Communication “A” 5460, as amended, granting a broad protection to consumers of financial services including among other aspects, the regulations of fees and commissions charged by financial institutions for services provided. Therefore, fees and charges must represent a real, direct and demonstrable cost and should have technical and economic justification. Moreover, Communication “A” 5514 issued an exception for the enforcement of Communication “A” 5460, for certain credit agreements which have pledges as collateral and are issued before September 30, 2019.
On February 4, 2014 Central Bank issued Communication “A” 5536 limiting foreign currency positions of financial entities at a 30% of the adjusted stockholder’s equity of each entity. On August 4, 2014 the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 5611 and decreased such limit to 15%.
During June 2014, the Argentine Central Bank issued new regulations regarding the interest rate of loans given by financial entities. Such rates, according to Communication “A” 5590 and its current amendments, shall not exceed the result that arises from the internal rate of return of Treasury Securities (“LEBAC”) with a 90 days maturity multiply for factor set between 1,25 and 2 depending on the particular kind of loan involved and the type of financial institution. These yearly rates usually will be set between 33% and 54%, as a consequence. So, as there is a cap on the rate that banks can charge on their clients, their profit margin might be affected. In order to compensate that, others areas of the financial system might get their rates increased. As a result, the whole financial system might suffer consequences.
The absence of a stable regulatory framework could result in significant limits to the financial institutions’ decisions, such as Banco Hipotecario, regarding asset allocation, which could cause uncertainty with respect to the future financial activities and result of operations.
Financial institutions’ asset quality is exposed to the non-financial public sector’s indebtedness.
Financial institutions carry significant portfolios of bonds issued by the Argentine Government and provincial governments as well as loans granted to these governments. To an extent, the value of the assets in the hands of Argentine banks, as well as their capacity to generate income is dependent on the creditworthiness of the non-financial public sector, which is in turn tied to the Argentine Government’s ability to foster sustainable long-term growth, generate fiscal revenues and cut back on public expenditure.
Summary actions for collection as a means of enforcing creditors’ rights in Argentina may be limited.
In order to protect the debtors affected by the 2001 economic crisis, starting in 2002 the Argentine government adopted measures that suspended proceedings to enforce creditors’ rights (mortgage foreclosures and bankruptcy petitions) in the event of defaults by debtors.
Although as of the date of this Annual Report, those measures were no longer in force, the Banco Hipotecario may not assure you that they will not be reinstated in the future, or that the government will not take other measures that limit creditors’ rights. Any such measures could have a material adverse effect on the enforceability of creditor’s rights.
Consumer protection laws may limit the enforceability of certain of Banco Hipotecario’s rights.
Argentine Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240, as supplemented or amended (the “Consumer Protection Law”) establishes a number of rules and principles for the defense of consumers’ interests. The Consumer Protection Law does not contain specific provisions for its enforcement in relation to financial activities, but it does contain general provisions that might be used as grounds to uphold such enforcement, as it has been previously interpreted in various legal precedents.
Banco Hipotecario may not assure you that the judgments passed by the courts and/or the resolutions handed down by administrative authorities in connection with the measures adopted by Argentina’s Secretary of Home Trade and other competent authorities will not increase in the future the degree of protection afforded their debtors and other clients or that they will not favor the claims filed by groups or associations of consumers. This could affect the ability of financial institutions, including the Bank’s, to freely collect charges, commissions or fees for their services and/or products as well as their amounts, and consequently affect their business and the results of their operations.
Since 2013, the Argentine Central Bank has issued certain regulations in order to protect users of services grantes by financial institutions, such as Banco Hipotecario. For more information see “ The instability of the regulatory framework, in particular the regulatory framework affecting financial entities, could have a material adverse effect in financial entities activities, such as Banco Hipotecario”.
Class actions against financial institutions for unliquidated amounts may adversely affect the financial system’s profitability.
Certain public and private organizations have initiated class actions against financial institutions in Argentina. The Argentine National Constitution and the Consumer Protection Law contain certain provisions regarding class actions. However, their guidance with respect to procedural rules for instituting and trying class action cases is limited. Nonetheless, through an ad hoc doctrine, Argentine courts have admitted class actions in some cases, including various lawsuits against financial entities related to “collective interests” such as alleged overcharging on products, interest rates and advice in the sale of public securities, etc. If class action plaintiffs were to prevail against financial institutions, their success could have an adverse effect on the financial industry in general and indirectly on the Banco Hipotecario’s business.
Banco Hipotecario operates in a highly regulated environment, and its operations are subject to regulations adopted, and measures taken, by several regulatory agencies.
Financial institutions are subject to a major number of regulations concerning functions historically determined by the Argentine Central Bank and other regulatory authorities. The Argentine Central Bank may penalize Banco Hipotecario in the event that it breaches any applicable regulation. Similarly, the CNV, which authorizes securities offerings and regulates the public markets in Argentina, has the authority to impose sanctions on the Banco Hipotecario and its board of directors for breaches of corporate governance. The Financial Information Unit (“UIF”) regulates matters relating to the prevention of asset laundering and has the ability to monitor compliance with any such regulations by financial institutions and, eventually, impose sanctions.
The Banco Hipotecario may not assure you that none of such regulatory authorities will commence proceedings against the Bank, its shareholders or directors nor penalize Banco Hipotecario. This notwithstanding, in addition to “Know Your Client”, Banco Hipotecario has implemented other policies and procedures to comply with its duties under currently applicable rules and regulations.
In addition to regulations specific to its industry, Banco Hipotecario is subject to a wide range of federal, provincial and municipal regulations and supervision generally applicable to businesses operating in Argentina, including laws and regulations pertaining to labor, social security, public health, consumer protection, the environment, competition and price controls. Banco Hipotecario may not assure that existing or future legislation and regulation will not require material expenditures by Banco Hipotecario or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Banco Hipotecario’s consolidated operations.
Risks Relating to the Bank’s Business
The quality of Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio could be impaired if the Argentine private sector continues to be affected in the event of a decrease in the level of activity .
Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio is concentrated on recession-sensitive segments and it is to a large extent dependent upon local and international economic conditions. This in turn might affect the creditworthiness of Banco Hipotecario's loan portfolio and its results of operations.
Increased competition and M&A activities in the banking industry may adversely affect Banco Hipotecario.
Banco Hipotecario foresees increased competition in the banking sector. Additionally, if the trend towards decreasing spreads is not offset by the increase in lending volumes, the ensuing losses could lead to mergers in the industry. These mergers could lead to the establishment of larger, stronger banks with more resources than Banco Hipotecario. Therefore, although the demand for financial products and services in these markets continues to grow, competition may adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s results of operations, shrinking spreads and commissions.
Reduced spreads without corresponding increases in lending volumes could adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s profitability.
In recent years, the Argentine financial system has seen a reduction in the spreads between the interest rates accrued on assets and liabilities as a result of increased competition in the banking sector, the Argentine Government’s tightening of the monetary policy in response to inflation concerns and certain regulations limiting interest rates, which may continue in the near future. Although there has been a reversal in this trend, Banco Hipotecario may not assure you that the interest rate spreads will continue to rise. However, if spreads continue to decrease, Banco Hipotecario’s profitability may be adversely affected. We cannot assure that any changes in the regulations and the policies will not adversely affect financial institutions in Argentina, including Banco Hipotecario, its business, financial condition, and the results of its operations.
Differences in the accounting standards between Argentina and certain countries with developed capital markets, such as the United States, may make it difficult to compare Banco Hipotecario’s financial statements and those prepared by companies from these other countries.
Publicly available information about Banco Hipotecario in Argentina is presented differently from the information available for registered public companies in certain countries with highly developed capital markets, such as the United States. Except as otherwise described herein, Banco Hipotecario prepares its financial statements in accordance with Argentine Central Bank GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from Argentine GAAP and from U.S. GAAP.
The effects of the legislation that restricts Banco Hipotecario’s ability to pursue mortgage foreclosure proceedings could adversely affect the Bank.
As is also the case with other mortgagees, the ability to pursue foreclosure proceedings through completion in order to recover on its defaulted mortgage loans has an impact on the Bank’s activities. On December 13, 2006 and pursuant to Law No. 26,177, the “Restructuring Unit Law” was created to allow all the mortgage loans to be restructured between debtors and former Banco Hipotecario Nacional in so far as they had been granted previous to the entry into force of the Convertibility Law.
Law No. 26,313, the “Pre-convertibility Mortgage Loans Restructuring Law” was enacted by the Argentine Congress on November 21, 2007 and partially signed into law on December 6, 2007 to lay down the procedure to be followed in restructuring the mortgage loans within the scope of Section 23 of the Mortgage Refinancing System Law in accordance with the guidelines established by the Restructuring Unit Law. To this end, a new recalculation was established for certain mortgage loans originated by the former Banco Hipotecario Nacional before April 1, 1991.
Executive Branch Decree No. 2107/08 issued on December 19, 2008 regulated the Pre-convertibility Mortgage Loans Restructuring Law and established that the recalculation of the debt applies to the individual mortgage loans from global operations in force at December 31, 2008 and agreed upon previous to April 1, 1991, and in arrears at least since November 2007 and remaining in arrears at December 31, 2008. In turn, Executive Branch Decree No. 1366/10, published on September 21, 2010, expanded the universe of Pre-convertibility loans subject to restructuring to include the individual mortgage loans not originating in global operations in so far as they met the other requirements imposed by Executive Branch Decree No. 2107/08. In addition, Law No. 26,313 and its regulatory decrees also condoned the debts on mortgage loans granted before the Convertibility Law in so far as they had been granted to deal with emergency situations and in so far as they met the arrears requirement imposed on the loans subject to recalculation.
Subject to the Argentine Central Bank’s supervision, Banco Hipotecario has implemented the recalculation of mortgage loans within the scope of the above-discussed rules by adjusting the value of the new installments to a maximum amount not in excess of 20% of the household income. In this respect, Banco Hipotecario estimates that it has sufficient loan loss provisions to face any adverse economic impact on the portfolio involved.
However, Banco Hipotecario may not assure you that the Argentine Government will not enact new additional laws restricting Banco Hipotecario’s ability to enforce its rights as a creditor and/or imposing a condonation or a reduction of principal on the amounts unpaid in Banco Hipotecario’s mortgage loan portfolio. Any such circumstance might have a significant adverse effect on Banco Hipotecario’s financial condition and on the results of operations.
The Argentine Government might prevail at Banco Hipotecario’s General Shareholders’ Meetings.
By virtue of Law No. 23,696 (the “Privatization Law”) there are no restrictions on the Argentine Government’s ability to dispose of its Class A shares and all those shares minus one could be sold to third parties through public offering. Banco Hipotecario’s By-laws set forth that if at any time Class A shares were to represent less than 42% of Banco Hipotecario’s shares with right to vote, Class D shares automatically lose their triple vote right, which could result in the principal shareholders losing control of Banco Hipotecario. Should any such situation materialize and should the Argentine Government retain a sufficient number of Class A shares, the Argentine Government could prevail in Shareholders’ Meetings (except for some decisions that call for qualified majorities) and could thus exert actual control on the decisions that must be submitted to consideration by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
Banco Hipotecario may consider in the future new business opportunities which could turn out to be unsuccessful.
In recent years Banco Hipotecario has considered some business acquisitions or combinations and it plans to continue considering acquisitions that offer appealing opportunities and that are in line with Banco Hipotecario’s commercial strategy. However, Banco Hipotecario may not assure you that such businesses could deliver sustainable outcomes or that Banco Hipotecario will be able to consummate the acquisition of financial institutions in favorable conditions. Additionally, Banco Hipotecario’s ability to obtain the desired outcome as a result of said acquisitions will be partly dependent upon Banco Hipotecario’s ability to follow through with the successful integration of the businesses. To integrate any acquired business entails major risks, including:
•
|
Unforeseen difficulties in integrating operations and systems;
|
•
|
Problems inherent in assimilating or retaining the target’s employees;
|
•
|
Challenges associated to keeping the target’s customers;
|
•
|
Unforeseen liabilities or contingencies associated to the targets; and
|
•
|
The likelihood of management having to take time and attention out of the business’s day-to-day to focus on the integration activities and the resolution of associated problems.

Risks Related to Our ADSs and Common Shares.
Shares eligible for sale could adversely affect the price of our common shares and American Depositary Shares.
The market prices of our common shares and American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) could decline as a result of sales by our existing shareholders of common shares or ADSs in the market, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales also might make it difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.
The ADSs are freely transferable under U.S. securities laws, including shares sold to our affiliates. IFISA as of June 30, 2014, owned approximately 39.33% of our common shares (on a fully diluted basis) (or approximately 191,777,216 common shares which may be exchanged for an aggregate of 19,177,721 ADSs), is free to dispose of any or all of its common shares or ADSs at any time in its discretion. Sales of a large number of our common shares and/or ADSs would likely have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and the ADSs.
We are subject to certain different corporate disclosure requirements and accounting standards than domestic issuers of listed securities in the United States.
There may be less publicly available information about the issuers of securities listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange than publicly available information about domestic issuers of listed securities in the United States and certain other countries. In addition, all listed Argentine companies must prepare their financial statements in accordance with regulations of the CNV and IFRS, as issued by the IASB, except for financial institutions and insurance companies which must comply with the accounting standards issued by Argentine Central Bank and the National Insurance Superintendance, respectively, which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. For example, we are exempted from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempted from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. For this and other reasons, the presentation of Argentine financial statements and reported earnings may differ from that of companies in other countries in this and other respects.
We recently identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting related to the accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions in one of our subsidiaries.
Our management recently concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report were not effective, because management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions in one of our subsidiaries. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. See Item 15. Controls and Procedures - A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Any failure to implement and maintain improvements in the controls over our financial reporting, or difficulties encountered in the implementation of such improvements, could result in a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and/or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations under applicable securities lawsand could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a adverse impact on the trading price of our shares or the ADSs.
Investors may not be able to effect service of process within the U.S., limiting their recovery of any foreign judgment.
We are a publicly held stock corporation (sociedad anónima) organized under the laws of Argentina. Most of our directors and our senior managers, and most of our assets are located in Argentina. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against us or them in United States courts judgments obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws. There is doubt whether the Argentine courts will enforce, to the same extent and in as timely a manner as a U.S. or foreign court, an action predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or other foreign regulations brought against such persons or against us.
If we are considered to be a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of our common shares of ADSs would suffer negative consequences.
Based on the current and projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), for United States federal income tax purposes for the tax year ending June 30, 2014, and we do not currently expect to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition or if our projections are not accurate. The volatility and instability of Argentina’s economic and financial system may substantially affect the composition of our income and assets and the accuracy of our projections. In addition, this determination is based on the interpretation of certain U.S. Treasury regulations relating to rental income, which regulations are potentially subject to differing interpretation.If we become a PFIC, U.S. Holders (as defined in “Taxation—United States Taxation”) of our shares or ADSs will be subject to certain United States federal income tax rules that have negative consequences for U.S. Holders such as additional tax and an interest charge upon certain distributions by us or upon a sale or other disposition of our shares or ADSs at a gain, as well as reporting requirements. Please see ‘‘Taxation—United States Taxation’’ for a more detailed discussion of the consequences if we are deemed a PFIC. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your particular circumstances.
Under Argentine law, shareholder rights may be fewer or less well defined than in other jurisdictions.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our by-laws and by Argentine corporate law, which differ from the legal principles that would apply if we were incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, such as the States of Delaware or New York, or in other jurisdictions outside Argentina. In addition, your rights or the rights of holders of our common shares to protect your or their interests in connection with actions by our board of directors may be fewer and less well defined under Argentine corporate law than under the laws of those other jurisdictions. Although insider trading and price manipulation are illegal under Argentine law, the Argentine securities markets are not as highly regulated or supervised as the U.S. securities markets or markets in some other jurisdictions. In addition, rules and policies against self−dealing and regarding the preservation of shareholder interests may be less well defined and enforced in Argentina than in the United States, putting holders of our common shares and ADSs at a potential disadvantage.
The protections afforded to minority shareholders in Argentina are different from and more limited than those in the United States and may be more difficult to enforce.
Under Argentine law, the protections afforded to minority shareholders are different from, and much more limited than, those in the United States and some other latin american countries. For example, the legal framework with respect to shareholder disputes, such as derivative lawsuits and class actions, is less developed under Argentine law than under U.S. law as a result of Argentina’s short history with these types of claims and few successful cases. In addition, there are different procedural requirements for bringing these types of shareholder lawsuits. As a result, it may be more difficult for our minority shareholders to enforce their rights against us or our directors or controlling shareholder than it would be for shareholders of a U.S. company.
Holders of common shares may determine to not pay any dividends.
In accordance with Argentine corporate law we may pay dividends to shareholders out of net and realized profits, if any, as set forth in our audited financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The approval, amount and payment of dividends are subject to the approval by our shareholders at our annual ordinary shareholders meeting. The approval of dividends requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to generate enough net and realized profits so as to pay dividends or that our shareholders will decide that dividends will be paid.
Our shareholders’ ability to receive cash dividends may be limited.
Our shareholders’ ability to receive cash dividends may be limited by the ability of the depositary to convert cash dividends paid in Pesos into U.S. dollars. Under the terms of our deposit agreement with the depositary for the ADSs, to the extent that the ADS depositary can in its judgment, and in accordance with local exchange regulations, convert Pesos (or any other foreign currency) into U.S. dollars on a reasonable basis and transfer the resulting U.S. dollars abroad, the ADS depositary will promptly as practicable convert or cause to be converted all cash dividends received by it in Pesos on the deposited securities into U.S. dollars. If in the judgment of the depositary this conversion is not possible on a reasonable basis (or is not permitted by applicable Argentine laws, regulations and approval requirements), the ADS depositary may distribute the foreign currency received by it in Pesos in Argentina or in its discretion hold such currency uninvested for the respective accounts of the owners entitled to receive the same. As a result, if the exchange rate fluctuates significantly during a time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the dividend distribution.
Our ability to pay dividends is limited by law and economic conditions.
In accordance with Argentine corporate law, we may pay dividends in Pesos out of retained earnings, if any, to the extent set forth in our audited financial statements. Our ability to generate retained earnings is subject to the results of our operations. During 2014 inflation has accelerated mainly due to the devaluation process carried out by the Argentine Central Bank. The uncertainty surrounding future inflation may affect our results and as a result our ability to pay dividends. If the Peso continues to devaluate significantly, all of the negative effects on the Argentine economy related to such devaluation could recur, with adverse consequences on our business and as a result on the results of our operations and our ability to pay dividends.

We assume no responsibility for the information contained on these sites.
History
We were incorporated in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company engaged in the business of providing rural and urban loans in Argentina. We were incorporated to administer real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier which was liquidated in 1959, and as a part of such liquidation, our shares were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders, and in 1960 our shares were listed on the BASE. During the 1960s and1970s, our business shifted exclusively to agricultural activities. During 1993 and 1994, Consultores Asset Management acquired on behalf of certain investors approximately 22% of our shares on the BASE. In late 1994, an investor group led by Consultores Asset Management (including Dolphin Fund plc.) acquired additional shares increasing their aggregate shareholding to approximately 51.4% of our outstanding shares. In 1995, we increased our capital through a rights offering and global public offering of ADRs representing our common shares and listed such ADRs on the NASDAQ. We started our agricultural activities with 7 farmlands and 20,000 hectares under management.
As of June 30, 2014, we have invested approximately Ps. 1,026.8 million to acquire our current 65.45% equity interest in IRSA (without considering treasury shares). IRSA is one of Argentina’s largest real estate companies. IRSA is engaged in a range of diversified real estate activities including residential properties, office buildings, shopping centers and luxury hotels in Argentina. A majority of our directors are also directors of IRSA.
In line with our international expansion strategy, on September of 2005 we participated in the creation of Brasilagro with the purpose of replicating our business model in Brazil. We created BrasilAgro together with our partners, Cape Town Llc, Tarpon Investimentos S.A., Tarpon Agro LLC, Agro Investments S.A. and Agro Managers S.A.
On May 2, 2006, BrasilAgro’s shares were listed in the Novo Mercado of the Brazilian Stock Exchange (“BOVESPA”) with the symbol AGRO3. BrasilAgro’s shares were placed jointly with Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse (Brazil) S.A. in the Brazilian market through investment mechanisms regulated by controlling authorities and with sales efforts pursuant to an exception from registration under the US Securities Act of 1933. The amount originally offered was R$ 532 million, equivalent to 532,000 common shares at a price of R$ 1,000 per share of BrasilAgro.
In addition, we purchased shares in the offering for R$ 42.4 million (approximately US$ 20.6 million). Following such contribution we held a total amount of 42,705 shares, equivalent to 7.4% of BrasilAgro’s capital stock. On October 31, 2007, BrasilAgro carried out a 1-for-100 share split approved at the special shareholders' meeting held on March 15, 2007 and ratified at the annual shareholders' meeting held on October 29, 2007. Following this split, BrasilAgro's capital stock was composed of 58,422,400 common shares.
On October 20, 2010 and on December 23, 2010, along with Tarpon we executed two amendments to the share purchase agreement dated as of April 28, 2010, under which we acquired 9,581,750 shares of common stock of BrasilAgro, representing 16.40% of the outstanding stock. Consequently, on October 20, 2010 we paid R$25.2 million and on December 23, 2010 we paid R$50.8 million, and the price reminder of R$52.6 million was paid on April 27, 2011.
Consequently, as of the date of this annual report, we hold 20,883,916 shares or 39.64% of BrasilAgro’s outstanding capital stock. It should be noted that such acquisition of shares does not imply any change of control within the shareholders’ group of BrasilAgro according to the legal regime in Brazil; Additionally, we own 168,902 BrasilAgro’s first issuance warrants and 168,902 BrasilAgro’s second issuance warrants.
In addition, during the last quarter of calendar year 2010, we entered into an agreement by means of which we assigned all equity and political rights related to 2,276,534 shares of BrasilAgro for two years. The agreement also provides a promise to sell, under which the assignee may at any time request the sale of BOVESPA’s shares or the transfer of shares on its behalf. In consideration for the assignment, we paid a fixed value of US$0.8 million and additionally, in the event the assignee requested the sale or transfer of share, it should paid US$7.15 per share sold or transferred. On June 27, 2012, we agreed together with Mr. Elie Horn and Cape Town Llc. to terminate the shareholder’s ageerrment.
In March 2008 we concluded a capital increase of 180 million shares. As a result, 180 million shares offered at the subscription price of US$ 1.60 or Ps. 5.0528 per share were fully subscribed, in the local and international markets. In addition, each shareholder received, without additional cost, one warrant for each share subscribed. See Item 9 “The Offer and Listing – A. Offer and Listing Details - Stock Exchanges in which our securities are listed”. This capital increase allows us to expand our international operations to Paraguay and Bolivia.
In the context of operations that represent a new expansion of our agricultural business in south america, on September 2008, we entered into several agreements to carry out real estate and agricultural, livestock and forestry activities in the Republic of Paraguay. Under these agreements, a new corporation was organized together with Carlos Casado S.A. (“Carlos Casado”) under the name Cresca, in which we hold a 50% equity interest. Additionally, we provide consulting services for the agricultural, livestock and forestry development of a rural property of 41,931 hectares.
We entered into an agreement to purchase a 50% interest in a rural property located in Mariscal José Felix Estigarribia, Department of Boquerón, Chaco Paraguayo, Republic of Paraguay, owned by Carlos Casado, for a price of US$5.2 million, in order to contribute them to the new company organized. The contribution was made on January 26, 2009, and the title deed to the property was executed on February 3, 2009. Therefore, jointly with the contribution made by Carlos Casado, the total value of the contributions in Cresca is US$10.5 million. In addition, Cresca has an option granted by Carlos Casado for the purchase of 100,000 additional hectares located in Paraguay.
On March 19, 2010 the option granted under the agreement dated September 3, 2008 was partially exercised, whereby 3,614 hectares, valued at US$350 each, were transferred to Cresca. Finally, on June 29, 2010, the title deed was executed, involving the conveyance of 3,646 hectares.
During fiscal year 2012 Cresca added 1,347 hectares to the area under operation and expects to add 3,187 more hectares during the next season. As of June 30, 2012, Cresca had 1,084 hectares intended for cattle, 8,378 hectares intended for agriculture and 36,116 hectares of natural woodlands for future developments.
During fiscal year 2013 Cresca added 937 hectares to the area under operation and expects to add 1,000 more hectares during the next season. As of June 30, 2013, Cresca had 12,330 hectares intended for agriculture and cattle.
In December 2013, we sold our entire interest in Cresca, in which we held 50% of its stock capital, to our subsidiary Brasilagro for US$ 18.5 million, thus adding 145,000 hectares in the Paraguayan Chaco to its land portfolio intended for development.
In the framework of a series of transactions that represent a new expansion of our agribusiness operations in South America, in line with our business plan, we have incorporated companies that own land in the Republic of Bolivia during 2008 and in 2009 we have acquired a company in the Republic of Uruguay.
For such purposes, the following companies were incorporated: Agropecuaria Acres del Sud S.A (“Acres del Sud”), Ombú Agropecuaria S.A.(“Ombú”), Yatay Agropecuaria S.A. (“Yatay”) and Yuchan Agropecuaria S.A. (“Yuchan”). The preceding Bolivia-based companies acquired land for agricultural operations. We maintain a 100.00% ownership interest in the capital stock of those companies, all engaged in agricultural operations.
In addition, during October 2008, we acquired, a company named Helmir S.A. (“Helmir”), domiciled in the Republic of Uruguay and incorporated with a broad-ranging corporate purpose.
In line with our international expansion strategy, we have entered into a number of agreements to formalize our position in various South American countries. In July 2008, we, executed several promise to purchase agreements for an aggregate of 12,166 hectares in the Republic of Bolivia for a total price of US$28.9 million.
In connection with these lands, on November 20, 2008, two purchase instruments including delivery of possession were executed, as part of the process of casting into public deed and filing of deeds with the relevant registries, involving the purchase of 883, 2,969 and 3,748 hectares in “San Cayetano,” “San Rafael” and “La Fon Fon” farmlands, respectively, located in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
On January 22, 2009, we executed a deed of purchase for 4,566 hectares in Las Londras farmlands, located in the Province of Guarayos, Republic of Bolivia. On that date, the sum of US$3.8 million was paid, representing 42.9% of the total agreed price. The remaining balance is payable in two annual installments: the first one was paid during the 2010 fiscal period, and the second one was paid in fiscal year 2011.
During fiscal year 2010, 10,800 hectares of the farmlands located in Bolivia were sown. This region has traditionally achieved double harvesting of soybean, which means that better results can be obtained per hectare during a single season; yet, the weather conditions that prevailed during the last year have not allowed double harvesting.
In June 2011, we entered into a purchase agreement for two agricultural parcels located at Santa Cruz, Republic of Bolivia, with a total surface of 5,000 hectares, which are used for agricultural exploitation: (i) The first parcel has a surface of approximately 2,660 hectares for sugar cane exploitation purposes. The purchase price was US$8.4 million which was fully paid, and (ii) the second parcel has a surface of approximately 2,340 hectares for soybeans exploitation purposes. The purchase price was US$4.9 million which was fully paid.
Additionally, we have agreed to sell a parcel of La Fon Fon with a surface of 910 hectares for US$3.64 million.
On May 27, 2014 Ombú executed a purchase and sale agreement involving a sale subject to retention of title covering 883 hectares of “San Cayetano I” for an aggregate amount of US$ 4.2 million.

Under the purchase agreement, Dolphin Netherlands and ETH have promised to participate on a joint and several basis in any capital increases resolved by IDBD’s Board of Directors in order to implement its business plan for 2014 and 2015, for at least NIS 300 million in 2014 and NIS 500 million in 2015 (equivalent to approximately US$ 87.4 million and US$ 145.7 million at the exchange rate prevailing as of June 30, 2014). To date, Dolphin Netherlands and ETH have contributed NIS 231.09 million of the NIS 300 million committed for 2014.

In addition, the purchase agreement provides that Dolphin Netherlands and ETH shall jointly and severally pay to the creditors who are parties to the above mentioned restructuring agreement an additional amount of NIS 100 million (equivalent to approximately US$ 29.1 million at the exchange rate prevailing as of June 30, 2014) in the event that IDBD consummates the sale of its interest in its subsidiary Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd. before December 31, 2014 and always provided that: (i) the sales price is not less than NIS 4,200 million (equivalent to approximately US$ 1,223.8 million at the exchange rate prevailing as of June 30, 2014); and (ii) the closing of the transaction occurs before June 30, 2015, with IDBD having received by this last date a payment of not less than NIS 1,344 million (gross) (equivalent to approximately US$ 391.6 million).
On May 12, 2014, IDBD’s shares became listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, Israel. Consequently, all the shares (including the pledged shares) were deposited in escrow with Bank Leumi Le-Israel as security in compliance with the lock-up provisions set forth in Chapter D of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Regulations which provide that initially listed shares may not be disposed of for a term of 18 months and allow the release of 2.5% per month beginning on the fourth month since the initial listing date.
Pursuant to the provisions of IDBD’s rights offering memorandum dated June 9, 2014, on June 26, 2014, 1,322,500 rights to subscribe for shares and warrants were granted by IDBD to Dolphin Netherlands at a ratio of 1 for every 40 shares held, which were exercised after year-end, on July 1, 2014. Later on, during IDBD’s rights issuance process, Dolphin Netherlands and ETH acquired 0.89 million additional rights for NIS 2.83 million, equivalent to approximately US$ 0.83 million, out of which 50% correspond to Dolphin Netherlands and 50% to ETH pursuant to the above mentioned agreement signed between them. These rights are recognized at their fair value and are recorded in the balance sheet in the line derivative financial instruments.
In July 2014, the rights offered by IDBD under the scope of the offering allowed to subscribe for 13 common shares of IDBD for a price of 65 NIS (5 NIS per share) and 27 warrants, 9 of each series (series 1, 2 and 3) to be issued by IDBD, at no cost. Each warrant issued by IDBD will allow to acquire one common share in IDBD. Series 1 matures on November 1, 2014 and is exercisable at 5.50 NIS per warrant. Series 2 matures on May 1, 2015 and is exercisable at 6 NIS per warrant. Series 3 matures on December 1, 2015 and is exercisable at 6.50 NIS per warrant.
As a result of the exercise of the rights received as mentioned above, consummated on July 1, 2014, Dolphin Netherlands received 17.32 million shares and 11.99 million warrants under Series 1, 2 and 3. ETH received the same number of rights and therefore acquired the same number of shares and warrants as Dolphin Netherlands. In addition, as a result of the exercise of the rights purchased, consummated on July 1, 2014, Dolphin Netherlands acquired 5.79 million shares and 4.01 million warrants under Series 1, 2 and 3. ETH also acquired the same number of shares and warrants as Dolphin Netherlands.
As a result of the IDBD’s rights offering, the number of pledged shares as security for IBDB’s tender offers assumed by Dolphin Netherlands was increased to an aggregate of 29,937,591. In addition, pursuant to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange regulations, 53,784,922 shares and 335,715 warrants under each of Series 1, 2 and 3 remained in escrow under the terms mentioned above.
After year-end, during the period from July 9 to July 14, 2014, Dolphin Netherlands acquired through transactions in the open market 0.42 million shares and 0.34 million additional Series 2 warrants for NIS 1.77 million, equivalent to approximately US$ 0.52 million. 50% of such shares and Series 2 warrants were sold to ETH pursuant to the provisions of the above mentioned agreement signed between the parties.
As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, Dolphin Netherlands held an aggregate of 76,620,163 shares, 15,998,787 Series 1 warrants, 16,170,392 Series 2 warrants and 15,998,787 Series 3 warrants of IDBD, resulting in an undiluted holding of 28.99% and a fully diluted holding of 31.37% in IDBD.
IDBD’s Board of Directors is composed of nine members, three of whom were appointed by Dolphin Netherlands, namely, Eduardo Elsztain, Alejandro Elsztain and Saúl Zang.
As DFL is a subsidiary that qualifies as a VCO under the exemption contained in IAS 28 mentioned in Note 2.3 (d), IRSA have valued its interest in IDBD at fair value with changes in the income statement.
Acquisition of common shares of Supertel Hospitality, Inc.
On January 9, 2014, through Real Estate Strategies L.P. (“RES”), we granted a loan to Supertel Hospitality Inc. (“Supertel”) for an amount of US$ 2 million. This loan included a conversion option whereby RES was allowed to apply the aggregate amount of the loan to purchase common shares of Supertel under a “Subscription Rights Offering” or convert the loan directly into common shares of Supertel. Additionally, as from February 2012, we hold two financial instruments in Supertel, preferred shares and warrants which are still held on the balance sheet date (see acquisitions in the fiscal year 2012 below for a description of such acquisition).

Acquisition of joint venture
On November 29, 2012 APSA acquired shares of common, representing 50% of EHSA capital stock and votes for Ps. 25.9 million. Under the acquisition agreement, APSA is entitled to exercise joint control over EHSA. Additionally, APSA paid Ps. 6.1 million, subject to the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the shares of La Rural S.A. According to contract’s terms, the amount paid will be returned to APSA, in case the mentioned acquisition is not completed. EHSA is an Argentine company whose main asset consists of an indirect interest of 50% in the capital and voting rights of La Rural S.A. (“LRSA”), whereby it has joint control over this company together with Sociedad Rural Argentina (“SRA”), who owns the remaining 50%. Thus, APSA is owner of an indirect interest of 25% in LRSA, whose main asset consists on right of use on the “Predio Ferial de Palermo” (the “Fairground”) in the City of Buenos Aires, located between Cerviño, Sarmiento, Santa Fé Avenues and Oro street, in the City of Buenos Aires entered into in 1999 with SRA, owner of such Predio Ferial.
The SRA had bought the Fairground from a former Administration of the National Government by an Executive Order in 1991 (the “1991 EO”). Immediately after APSA acquired the right of use on the Fairground, in December 2012, the current Administration of the National Government reviewed the contracts signed by the former Administration and the SRA twenty years ago and issued an Executive Order – Decree No. 5,552/2012 (the “2012 EO”) seeking to declare null and void the former 1991 EO. The 2012 EO demanded the return of the Fairground to the State.
The 2012 EO neither addresses the right of use of the Fairground nor any action that the owner of the ground might have taken while in possession. According to the information provided by the SRA, they obtained a stay from Argentine Court freezing the 2012 EO, and, although the National Government appealed the ruling, the appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court of Justice in 2013.
APSA, as well as the joint venture EHSA, was neither defendant in the legal case initiated by SRA nor were mentioned and/or addressed in any respect in the 2012 EO. APSA acquired the interest in the entity that has the right to use the Fairground as a good faith purchaser, entity that had acquired the right to use the Fairground in good faith as well. The 2012 EO, if sustained by the Supreme Court of Justice in the future, will have no effect in the legal structure of EHSA and on its acquisition of EHSA. However, if sustained, it might have an impact to the underlying asset acquired (the right to use), in the event a final judgment declares null and void all acts performed by the SRA with the Fairground, including granting a right to use it to third parties.
Notwithstanding the above, as from the acquisition date to the date of this annual report, none of the judicial measures initiated by the owner of the Fairground and/or the National Government, or the appeals and rulings thereof, had any effect on our effective use of the Fairground.
On September 25 of 2013, Sociedad Rural Argentina (“SRA”), La Rural de Palermo S.A. (“LRPSA”), Boulevard Norte S.A. (“BNSA”), Ogden Argentina S.A., EHSA, Entretenimiento Universal S.A., and La Rural, entered into an agreement that mainly consist of an amendment to the preexisting agreements under the joint venture pursuant to which they agreed to revise, amend and/or clarify certain provisions.

The acquisition-related costs (which amount to Ps. 2.6 million) were charged under “General and Administrative Expenses” line in the income statements.
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. 2.3 million, including trade receivables in the amount of Ps. 0.1 million. As of the acquisition date, we estimate 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 net acquired assets.
We recognized gains 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 results, net" line in the income statements.
The incomes Rigby has generated since November 27, 2012 and that have been disclosed in the consolidated income statements amount to Ps. 40.9 million. Rigby has also run a net gain of Ps. 8.1 million during said period. If Rigby had been included in the consolidation since July 1, 2012, the consolidated income statements would have shown pro-forma revenues in the amount of Ps. 2,202.9 million and pro-forma net income of Ps. 297.5 million.

Our “Agro-industrial” segment consists of feedlot farming for slaughtering process in our own packing plant or for cattle finishing services to third parties. Feedlot farming is distinctive and requires specific care and diets, which differ from those, provided to free-range cattle. We assess this activity separately due to the distinctive characteristics of the cattle feedlot system and its integration with industrialized meat processing. Our Agro-industrial segment had assets of Ps. 41.8 million and Ps. 30.7 million as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing 1% and 1% of our agricultural business assets at such dates, respectively. Our Agro-Industrial segment generated operating income of Ps. 1.8 million for the financial year ended June 30, 2014, representing (5%) of our consolidated operating income from Agricultural Business for such year, and operating loss of Ps. 29.5 million and Ps. 15.9 million for the financial years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing (84%) and 16%, of our consolidated operating income from Agricultural Business for such years, respectively.

Strategy
We seek to maximize our return on assets and overall profitability by (i) identifying, acquiring and operating agricultural properties having attractive prospects for increased agricultural production and/or medium or long-term value appreciation and selectively disposing of properties as appreciation is realized, (ii) optimizing the yields and productivity of our agricultural properties through the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies and agricultural techniques and (iii) preserving the value of our significant long-term investment in the urban real estate sector through our subsidiary IRSA.
Focus on maximizing value of our agricultural real estate assets
We conduct our agricultural activities with a focus on maximizing the value of our agricultural real estate assets. We rotate our portfolio of properties over time by purchasing properties which we believe have a high potential for appreciation and selling them selectively as opportunities arise to realize attractive capital gains. We achieve this by relying on the following principles:
•
|
Acquiring under-utilized properties and enhancing their land use: We seek to purchase under-utilized properties at attractive prices and develop them to achieve more productive uses. We seek to do so by (i) transforming non-productive land into cattle feeding land, (ii) transforming cattle feeding land into land suitable for more productive agricultural uses, (iii) enhancing the value of agricultural lands by changing their use to more profitable agricultural activities; and (iv) reaching the final stage of the real estate development cycle by transforming rural properties into urban areas as the boundaries of urban development continue to extend into rural areas. To do so, we generally focus on acquisitions of properties outside developed agricultural regions and/or properties that we believe will increase in value due to their proximity to existing or expected infrastructure.
|
|
|
•
|
Applying modern technologies to enhance operating yields and property values. We believe there is an opportunity to improve the productivity and long-term value of inexpensive and/or underdeveloped land by investing in modern technologies, such as genetically modified and high-yield seeds, direct sowing techniques, machinery, crop yield optimization through land rotation, irrigation and the use of fertilizers and agrochemicals. To enhance our cattle production, we use genetic technology and have a strict animal health plan, controlled periodically through traceability systems. In addition, we have introduced a feedlot to optimize our cattle management and modern milking technologies in our milk business.
|
|
|
•
|
Anticipating market trends. We seek to anticipate market trends in the agribusiness sector by (i) identifying opportunities generated by economic development at local, regional and worldwide levels, (ii) detecting medium- and long-term increases or decreases in supply and demand caused by changes in the world’s food consumption patterns and (iii) using land for the production of food and energy, in each case in anticipation of such market trends.
|
|
|
•
|
International expansion. We believe that an attractive opportunity exists to acquire and develop agricultural properties outside Argentina, and our objective is to replicate our business model in other countries. Although most of our properties are located in different areas of Argentina, we have begun a process of expansion into other latin american countries, including Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay.
|
Increase and optimize production yields
We seek to increase and improve our production yields through the following initiatives:
Implementation of technology.
•
|
To improve crop production, we use state-of-the-art technology. We invest in machinery and the implementation of agricultural techniques such as direct sowing. In addition, we use high-potential seeds (GMOs) and fertilizers and we apply advanced land rotation techniques. In addition, we consider installing irrigation equipment in some of our farmlands.
|
•
|
To increase cattle production we use advanced breeding techniques and technologies related to animal health. Moreover, we optimize the use of pastures and we make investments in infrastructure, including installation of watering troughs and electrical fencing. In addition, we have one of the few vertically integrated cattle processing operations in Argentina through Cactus, a feedlot and slaughterhouse operator.
|
|
|
•
|
In our milking facility, we have implemented an individual animal identification system, using plastic tags for our cattle and “RFID” tags. We use software from Westfalia Co. which enables us to store individual information about each of our dairy cows.
|
Increased production.
Our goal is to increase our crop, cattle and milk production in order to achieve economies of scale by:
•
|
Increasing our owned land in various regions by taking advantage of attractive land purchase opportunities. In addition, we expand our production areas by developing lands in regions where agricultural and livestock production is not developed to its full potential. We believe in the use of technological tools for improving the productivity of our land reserves and enhancing their long-term value. However, current or future environmental regulations could prevent us from fully developing our lands by demanding us to maintain part of them as natural woodlands not allocated to production.
|
|
|
•
|
Diversifying our production and the weather risk by leasing farmlands, thus expanding our product portfolio and optimizing our geographic focus, in particular in areas that are not appealing in terms of land value appreciation but with attractive productivity levels. We believe that this diversification mix mitigates our exposure to seasonality, commodity price fluctuations, weather conditions and other factors affecting the agricultural and livestock sector.
|
|
|
•
|
Moreover, we believe that continuing to expand our agricultural operations outside of Argentina will help us improve even more our ability to produce new agricultural products, further diversifying our mix of products, and mitigating our exposure to regional weather conditions and country-specific risks.
|
Diversifying market and weather risk by expanding our product and land portfolio.
•
|
We seek to continue diversifying our operations to produce a range of different agricultural commodities in different markets, either directly or in association with third parties. We believe that a diversified product mix mitigates our exposure to seasonality, commodity price fluctuations, weather conditions and other factors affecting the agricultural and livestock sector. To achieve this objective in Argentina, we expect to continue to own and lease farmlands in various regions with differing weather patterns and to continue to offer a range of diversified products. Moreover, we believe that continuing to expand our agricultural operations outside of Argentina will enhance our ability to produce new agricultural products, further diversifying our mix of products and mitigating our exposure to regional weather conditions and country-specific risks.
|
Focus on preserving long-term value of our investment in our real estate subsidiary IRSA
We seek to maintain the long-term value of our significant investment in the urban real estate sector through IRSA. We believe that IRSA is an ideal vehicle through which to participate in the urban real estate market due to its substantial and diversified portfolio of residential and commercial properties, the strength of its management and what we believe are its attractive prospects for future growth and profitability.
•
|
Shopping Centers Properties. We believe that the Argentine shopping center sector offers attractive prospects for long-term growth due to, among other factors, a continuing evolution of consumer preferences in favor of shopping malls (away from small neighborhood shops) and a low level of shopping center penetration compared to many developed countries. Our main objectives are to generate sustained cash flow growth from our shopping centers and increase their value in the long-term, while maintaining a leading position in Argentina’s shopping center industry by developing new shopping centers in urban areas with attractive prospects for growth, including the Buenos Aires’ Metropolitan area, Argentine provinces and abroad.
|
|
|
•
|
Development and sale of properties. We seek to purchase undeveloped properties in densely-populated areas and build apartment complexes offering green space for recreational activities. We also seek to develop residential communities by acquiring undeveloped properties with convenient access to Buenos Aires, developing roads and other basic infrastructure such as power and water, and then selling lots for the construction of residential units. After the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002, the scarcity of mortgage financing restricted the growth in middle class home purchases and, as a result, we mainly focused on the development of residential communities for middle and high-income individuals, who do not need to finance their home purchases. In addition, we seek to develop residential properties for other segments of the residential market in Argentina and during the first quarter of the 2000 fiscal year, we entered into a partnership with Cyrela Empreendimentos e Participações (“Cyrela”), a leading Brazilian residential real estate developer, to penetrate new market segments.
|
|
|
•
|
Offices. Since the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002, there have been limited investments in high-quality office buildings in Buenos Aires and, as a result, we believe there is currently substantial demand for more desirable office spaces. We seek to purchase and develop premium office buildings in strategically-located business districts in Buenos Aires and other strategic locations that we believe offer attractive returns and potential for long-term capital gain. We expect to continue our focus on attracting premium corporate tenants to our office buildings. Furthermore, we intend to selectively consider new opportunities to acquire or construct new rental office buildings.
|
|
|
•
|
Hotels. We believe our portfolio of three luxury hotels is positioned to take advantage of the future growth in tourism and business travel in Argentina. We seek to continue with our strategy to invest in high-quality properties that are operated by leading international hotel companies to capitalize on their operating experience and international reputation. We also seek to continue to invest in improvements for our hotels.
|
•
|
Banco Hipotecario. Banco Hipotecario is a full-service commercial bank offering a wide variety of banking activities and related financial services to individuals, small- and medium-sized companies and large corporations. Among these services, Banco Hipotecario stands out as a leader in mortgage loans in Argentina. Since 1999, Banco Hipotecario’s shares have been listed on the BASE, and since 2006 it has obtained the Level 1 ADR program from the Bank of New York Mellon. We currently seek to keep our investment in Banco Hipotecario, as we believe that Argentina has a low level of mortgages outstanding measured in terms of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”).
|
|
|
•
|
Land reserves. We seek to continue to acquire undeveloped land at locations we consider attractive within and outside Buenos Aires metropolitan area. In each case, our intention is to purchase land with significant development or appreciation potential to resell. We believe that holding a portfolio of desirable undeveloped plots of land enhances our ability to make strategic long-term investments and affords us a valuable pipeline of new development projects for upcoming years.
|
|
|
•
|
International. In this segment, we seek investments that represent an opportunity of capital appreciation potential in the long term. After the international financial crisis in 2008, we took advantage of the price opportunity in the real estate sector in the United States and invested in two office buildings in Manhattan, New York. We have a 74.5% interest in the office building located at 183 Madison Avenue in the City of New York. For more information about Madison please see “Recent Developments”. We also have a 49.9% interest in a US company, whose main asset is the so-called “Lipstick Building” an office building located in the City of New York. In addition, jointly with subsidiaries, we hold 34% of Supertel voting rights (NASDAQ: SPPR) and we have recently acquired, through Dolphin Fund (controlled by IRSA) in partnership with Extra Holding Limited, 57.8% of the Israeli company IDBD, a large and diversified Israeli company, which, through its subsidiaries, participates in numerous markets and industry sectors, including real estate, retail, agroindustry, insurance, telecommunications, etc. We intend to continue evaluating -on a selective basis- investment opportunities outside Argentina as long as they offer attractive investment and development opportunities.
|
Our Principal Business Activities
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, we conducted our operations on 32 owned farmlands and 71 leased farmlands. Some of the farmlands we own are engaged in more than one productive activity at the same time.

We seek to diversify our mix of products and the geographic location of our farmlands to achieve an adequate balance between the two principal risks associated with our activities: weather conditions and the fluctuations in the prices of commodities. In order to reduce such risks, we own and lease land in several areas of Argentina with different climate conditions that allow us to sow a diversified range of products. Our leased land for crops is mostly located in the Pampas region, a favorable area for crop production. The leased farmlands are previously studied by technicians who analyze future production expectations based on the historic use of the land. The initial duration of lease agreements is typically one or three seasons. Leases of farmlands for production of crops generally consist of lease agreements with payments based on a fixed amount of Pesos per hectare or crop sharing agreements (“sharecropping”) with payments in kind based on a percentage of the crops obtained or a fixed amount of tons of grains obtained or their equivalent value in Pesos. The principal advantage of leasing farmlands is that leases do not require us to commit large amounts of capital to the acquisition of lands but allow us to increase our scale in the short term and reduce the risk of inclement weather. The disadvantage of this strategy is that the cost of leasing can increase over time, in part, because increased demand for leased land increases the price of leased land.
In order to increase our production yields, we use, besides state-of-the-art technology, labor control methods which imply the supervision of the seeding’s quality (density, fertilization, distribution, and depth), crop monitoring (determination of natural losses and losses caused by harvester) and verification of bagged crop quality. In this way, we work jointly with our suppliers to achieve the best management of inputs, water and soil.
Wheat seeding takes place from June to August, and harvesting takes place from December to January. Corn, soybean and sunflower are sown from September to December and are harvested from February to August. Grains are available to be sold as commodities after the harvest from December to June and we usually store part of our production until prices recover after the drop that normally takes place during the harvesting season. A major part of production, especially soybean, wheat and sunflower seeds, corn and sorghum, is sold and delivered to buyers pursuant to agreements in which price conditions are fixed by reference to the market price at a specific time in the future that we determine. The rest of the production is either sold at current market prices or delivered to cover any futures contract that we may have entered into.
Agro-Uranga S.A.
We have a 35.7% interest in Agro-Uranga S.A. (“Agro-Uranga”). This company optimizes production processes and attains excellent results, with special emphasis in soil conservation, the application of rational techniques and care of the environment.
Agro-Uranga has two farmlands: Las Playas and San Nicolás, with a combined area of 8,305 hectares, located in the core region of the Pampas prairies.
57% of the revenues from Agro-Uranga’s crop production derives from its special products division, including popcorn, chickpeas, peas and lentils, whereas the remaining 43% derives from commodities, such as soybean, corn and wheat.
At present, with the assistance of its foreign trade team it is seeking to develop new products so as to significantly increase export volumes, encouraged by the world’s growing demand.
Lease of Farmlands
We conduct our business on owned and leased land. Rental payments increase our production costs, as the amounts paid as rent are accounted for as operating expenses. As a result, production costs per hectare of leased land are higher than for the land owned by us.
Our land leasing policy is designed to supplement our expansion strategy, using our liquidity to make production investments in our principal agricultural activities. On the other hand, our leasing strategy provides us with an added level of flexibility in the share of each of our products in total production, providing for greater diversification.
The initial duration of lease agreements is typically one crop season. Leases of farmlands for production of crops consist in lease agreements with payments based on a fixed amount of Pesos per hectare or crop (sharecropping”) with payments in kind based on a percentage of the crops obtained or a fixed amount of tons of grains obtained or their equivalent value in Pesos. Leases of farmlands for cattle breeding consist in lease agreements with fixed payments based on a fixed amount of Pesos per hectare or steer kilograms or capitalization agreements with payments in kind or in cash based on the weight gain in kilograms.
During fiscal year 2014, we leased to third parties a total of 71 fields, covering 76,579 hectares, including 17,699 hectares in Brazil. Out of the total leased area, 58,030 hectares were assigned to agricultural production, including double crops, and 18,549 hectares to cattle raising. The properties for agricultural production were leased, primarily, for a fixed price prior to harvest and only a small percentage consisted of crop sharing agreements.
The following table shows a breakdown of the number of hectares of leased land used for each of our principal production activities:

Due to the rise in the price of land, we adopted a policy of not validating excessive prices and applying strict criteria upon adopting the decision to lease, selecting those lands with values that would ensure appropriate margins.

In Argentina, the 2013/2014 season was favored by the rains of January and February, which helped in the recovery of soybean production. On the other hand, in Bolivia and Brazil, planted acreage and plantings of certain crops decreased due to weather difficulties (excessive rainfall in the first case and droughts in the second one, mainly in the area of Bahia, Brazil).
Cattle
Our cattle production involves the breeding and fattening of our own animals. In some cases, if market conditions are favorable, we also purchase and fatten cattle which we sell to slaughterhouses and supermarkets. As of June 2014, our cattle aggregated 65,536 heads, and we had a total surface area of 95,160 hectares of own and leased lands devoted to this business activity. In addition, we have leased to third parties 5,495 hectares assigned to these activities.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, our cattle activities generated sales of Ps. 90.3 million, representing 5% of our total consolidated sales from the agricultural business, and our production was 7,380 tons, a decrease of 10% compared to the previous fiscal year. This fall was mainly due to adverse weather conditions that affected our cattle’s fattening capacity.
The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years indicated below, the cattle production volumes measured in tons:

Production measured in tons of live weight. Production is the sum of the net increases (or decreases) during a given period in live weight of each head of cattle owned by us.
|
Management by lot in our pastures is aided by electrical fencing which may be easily relocated to supplement our land-rotation cycles. Our cattle herd is subject to a 160 kg to 360 kg fattening cycle by grazing in pastures located in our north farmlands, where conditions are adequate for initial fattening. For fattening above 360 kg, cattle are fattened in our feedlot facilities located in our Los Pozos and La Suiza farmlands, in Chaco, until they reach 430 kg. The feedlot fattening system leads to homogeneity in production and beef of higher quality and tenderness because of the younger age at which animals are slaughtered.
Our cattle breeding activities are carried out with breeding cows and bulls and our fattening activities apply to steer, heifers and calves. Breeding cows calve approximately once a year and their productive lifespan is from six to seven years. Six months after birth, calves are weaned and transferred to fattening pastures. Acquired cattle are directly submitted to the fattening process. Upon starting this process, cattle have been grazing for approximately one year to one and a half year in order to be fattened for sale. Steer and heifers are sold when they have achieved a weight of 380–430 kg and 280–295 kg, respectively, depending on the breed.
Pregnancy levels, which have been improving over the years, showed satisfactory levels of efficiency notwithstanding the adverse weather conditions. Genetics and herd management are expected to further improve pregnancy levels in the coming years. Reproductive indicators improved thanks to the implementation of technologies, which have included handling techniques and females artificial insemination with cattle genetics especially selected for the stock which is purchased from specialized companies in quality semen elaboration for meat production. We use veterinarian products manufactured by leading national and international laboratories. It is important to emphasize the work of a veterinarian advising committee, who are external to us and visit each establishment monthly to control and agree tasks.
Currently, the cattle raising farmlands are officially registered as export farmlands pursuant to the identification and traceability rules in force in Argentina. Animals are individually identified, thus allowing for the development of special businesses in this area.
Our cattle stock is organized into breeding and fattening activities. The following table shows, for the fiscal years indicated, the number of head of cattle for each activity:

(1) For classification purposes, upon birth, all calves are considered to be in the breeding process.
(2) Does not include heads of cattle from Agro-Uranga S.A.
We seek to improve cattle production and quality in order to obtain a higher price through advanced breeding techniques. We cross breed our stock of Indicus, British (Angus and Hereford) and Continental breeds to obtain herds with characteristics better suited to the pastures in which they graze. To enhance the quality of our herds even further, we plan to continue improving our pastures through permanent investment in seeds and fertilizers, an increase in the watering troughs available in pastures, and the acquisition of round bailers to cut and roll grass for storage purposes.
Our emphasis on improving the quality of our herd also includes the use of animal health-related technologies. We comply with national animal health standards that include laboratory analyses and vaccination aimed at controlling and preventing disease in our herd, particularly Foot-and-mouth disease (“FMD”).
Direct costs of beef production consist primarily of crops for feeding and dietary supplementation purposes, animal health and payroll costs, among others.

Dairy
As of June 30, 2014, we conducted our milk business in the dairy facility located in “El Tigre” farmland in La Pampa, Argentina. We have a capacity of 2,588 cows in milking per day and seek to increase total productivity through the application of new technologies including improved genetic management for milk production, feeding strategic planning based on cattle specific requirements and the use of individual traceability to know the productivity history of each animal. Also we use computer science in milk business to make more efficient the manual labor by surveying the information supplied by the farmland.
Within the process of de-commoditization and technological innovation, we implemented an identification and tracking system in compliance with European and SENASA standards. We also obtained Global Gap and HCCP certification. Our goal in this respect is to distinguish our production and obtain higher prices in production sales.
Our milk production is based on a herd of Holando Argentina dairy cows, genetically selected through the use of imported frozen semen of North American Holando bulls. Male calves are sold, at calving, for a given amount per head, whereas female calves are weaned after 24 hours, spend approximately 60 days in raising and approximately 100 days being fed on the basis of grass, grains and supplements. Young heifers then graze for an additional 12 to 15 month period, prior to artificial insemination at the age of 18 to 20 months and they calve nine months later. Heifers are subsequently milked for an average of 300 days. Milking dairy cows are once again inseminated during the 60 to 90 day subsequent period. This process is repeated once a year during six or seven years. The pregnancy rate for our dairy cows is 80-90%.
Our dairy herd is milked mechanically twice a day. The milk obtained is cooled to less than five degrees centigrade to preserve quality and is then stored in a tank for delivery once a day to trucks sent by buyeRs. Dairy cows are fed mainly with grass, supplemented as needed with grains, hay and silage. We have invested in certain technologies that focus on genetic improvement, animal health and feeding in order to improve our milk production. These investments include imports of top quality frozen semen from genetically improved North American Holstein bulls, agricultural machinery and devices such as feed-mixer trucks, use of dietary supplements and the installation of modern equipment to control milk cooling. We are currently acquiring dietary supplements for our dairy cows and have made investments with the aim of increasing the quantity and quality of forage (pasture, alfalfa and corn silage) in order to reduce feeding costs.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the average number of our dairy cows, average daily production per cow and our total milk production:

Agricultural Rentals and Services
We lease own farmlands to third parties for agriculture, cattle breeding and seed production, mainly in two types of farmlands. On the one hand, we lease our farmlands under irrigation in San Luis (Santa Bárbara and La Gramilla) to seed producers. These farmlands are ideal for obtaining steady production levels, given the quality of their soil and the weather conditions of the area, along with the even humidity provided by irrigation.
On the other hand, we lease farmlands recently put into production after agricultural development. In this way we manage to reduce our production risk, ensuring fixed rental income until the new farmlands reach stable productivity levels.
In addition, in this segment we include the irrigation service we provide to our own farmlands leased to third parties.

Acquisition, Sale and Transformation of Lands
Land Acquisitions
We intend to increase our farmland portfolio by acquiring large extensions of land with high appreciation or production potential. We also intend to transform the land acquired from non-productive to cattle breeding, from cattle breeding to farming, or applying technology to improve farming yields so as to generate higher land appreciation.
In our view, the sector’s potential lies in developing marginal areas and/or under-utilized areas. As a result of current technology, we may achieve similar yields with higher profitability than core areas; this may result in the appreciation of land values.
At present, prices of farmlands used in agricultural production have increased in the southern hemisphere (mainly south america) but continue to be relatively low compared to the northern hemisphere (U.S. and Europe). Our financial strength relative to other Argentine producers gives us the chance to increase our land holdings at attractive prices, improve our production scale and create potential for capital appreciation.
Several important intermediaries, with whom we usually work, bring farmlands available for sale to our attention. The decision to acquire farmlands is based on the assessment of a number of factors. In addition to the land’s location, we normally carry out an analysis of soil and water, including the quality of the soil and its suitability for our intended use (crops, cattle, or milk production), classify the various sectors of the lot and the prior use of the farmland; analyze the improvements in the property, any easements, rights of way or other variables in relation to the property title; examine satellite photographs of the property (useful in the survey of soil drainage characteristics during the different rain cycles) and detailed comparative data regarding neighboring farmlands (generally covering a 50-km area). Based on the foregoing factors, we assess the farmland in terms of the sales price compared against the production potential of the land and the appreciation potential of the capital. We consider that competition for the acquisition of farmlands is, in general, limited to small farmers for the acquisition of smaller lots, and that there is scarce competition for the acquisition of bigger lots.
In addition, we may consider the acquisition of farmlands in marginal zones and their improvement by irrigation in non-productive areas as well as the installation of irrigation devices in order to obtain attractive production yields and create potential for capital appreciation.
The following chart shows, for the fiscal years indicated below, certain information concerning our land acquisitions for each of the last fifteen fiscal years ended on June 30:

Land Sales
We periodically sell properties that have reached a considerable appraisal to reinvest in new farmlands with higher appreciation potential. We analyze the possibility of selling based on a number of factors, including the expected future yield of the farmland for continued agricultural and livestock exploitation, the availability of other investment opportunities and cyclical factors that have a bearing on the global values of farmlands.
The following chart shows, for the fiscal years indicated below, certain information concerning our land sales for each of the last 15 fiscal years ended on June 30:

On May 27, 2014, Ombú executed an agreement for the sale, subject to retention of title, of an 882,955 hectare property in the “San Cayetano I” farmland for a total price of US$ 4.2 million. Out of this amount, the sum of US$ 1 million has been collected and the balance is payable in 5 consecutive, semi-annual installments, the last of which is due in November 2016. The agreement provides that title conveyance will be registered once the full price has been paid. Possession was surrendered on the date of execution of the agreement. The Company recorded a gain of US$ 1.8 million (equal to Ps. 15.6 million) for this sale.
In June 2014, through Brasilagro, we sold a new fraction of 1,164 hectares in the “Araucaria” farm located in the municipal district of Mineiros, State of Goias. The sale price was 735,000 bags of soybean or Rs. 41.3 million (Rs. 45,000 per hectare). From this amount 75,000 bags of soybean were received, for Rs. 4.5 million, and the balance is payable in 4 (four) annual installments. This asset was valued at Rs. 10.7 million (purchase cost plus investments made).
In July 2014 we sold to our subsidiary IRSA the “La Adela” farmland. For more information please see “Recent Developments”.
Farmland Development
We consider that there is great potential in farmland development where, through the use of current technology, we may achieve similar yields with higher profitability than in core areas.
As of June 30, 2014, we owned land reserves in the region extending over more than 352,928 hectares that were purchased at very attractive prices. In addition, we have a concessions for over 109,014 hectares reserved for future development. We believe that there are technological tools available to improve productivity in these farmlands and, therefore, achieve appreciation in the long term. However, current or future environmental regulations could prevent us from fully developing our land reserves by requiring that we maintain part of this land as natural woodlands not to be used for production purposes.
We conducted our land development business in Argentina mainly in the “Anta” farm located in Las Lajitas, province of Salta, Argentina. During fiscal year 2014, we developed 1,458 hectares intended for agricultural production and 660 hectares intended for cattle raising, reaching 22,986 hectares in operation.
Furthermore, during fiscal year 2014 we continued with the development of our “Agro Riego” farm in the province of San Luis, Argentina where we developed 260 hectares intended for agriculture including spray irrigation infrastructure, reaching 4,302 hectares in operation.
In connection with our business in Paraguay, in the next fiscal year Cresca plans to continue to develop 2,400 hectares for cattle and 1,975 for agricultural production. Our developments in Brazil, through our subsidiary Brasilagro, consisted of 13,000 hectares of developed land.

Agro-industrial Activities
This segment consists in the fattening of cattle in feedlots and the slaughtering and processing of beef in meat packing plants. Feedlot cattle breeding requires specific care and diets that differ from those applicable to natural grass-fed cattle breeding.
Our feedlot operations are developed through our subsidiary Cactus Argentina S.A. and take place in a 170-hectare farm located in Villa Mercedes, Province of San Luis, Argentina, which started to operate in September 1999. Cactus has been a pioneer in feedlot services with 18,000 heads of cattle capacity, depending on the size of the cattle.
Towards the end of this fiscal year, given the closeness of the feedlot facility to the district of Villa Mercedes, we decided to discontinue the livestock fattening business there.
Moreover, through our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas S.A. (“Carnes Pampeanas”) we own a meat packing plant in Santa Rosa, Province of La Pampa, with capacity to slaughter and process approximately 9,600 cattle heads per month.
During the last years, the smaller supply of cattle has adversely affected the value chain by reducing cold-storage plant utilization. This has left several plants struggling to remain operational in view of the poor returns and shortage of raw materials. Our investment in Carnes Pampeanas has not escaped unscathed of this situation.
Since December 2011, the packing plant had remained closed due to the difficult situation experienced by the industry. With the support of the Provincial Government of La Pampa and the Federal Government, combined with our confidence that the business could be successfully resumed, in August 2012 the packing plant was reopened and restarted production.
Fiscal year 2013 was a tough year for this segment due to an unfavorable market scenario. In fiscal year 2014, the segment recorded net income for Ps. 1.9 million, mainly due to a significant increase in the share of cuts intended for export during the second and third quarters. In addition, average slaughtering reached 6,700 heads per month, compared to 3,600 in fiscal year 2013.

Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A.
In May 2000, we acquired 70% of the shares of FyO for Ps. 3.5 million. The site was launched in November 1999 and was aimed at becoming the most important agriculture business community in latin america. FyO launched its e-commerce strategy in March 2001, in order to sell products, buy inputs, arrange loans, and obtain insurance, among other things. Currently, the main activity of FyO is grain brokerage.
The areas with the greatest potential for growth are: input commercialization and grain brokerage. Regarding input commercialization, the business volume was concentrated in a small number of suppliers, the agreements with the suppliers were improved in order to increase the margin of the business, and contracts of direct distribution were achieved. In terms of cereals, the grain trading unit was created, with the purpose of participating directly in the business by trading and offering services.
During fiscal year 2007, FyO started to trade futures and options: it acquired a share in the Buenos Aires futures and options exchange market (“MATBA”) and has also become a dealer. The service consisting in hedging with futures has consolidated into an essential tool for our customers to manage their price risks.
FyO is committed to excellence through quality and continued improvement. For this reason, since 2008 all its business and administrative processes have been certified under ISO 9001:2008 standards.
As of June 30, 2014, our interest in FyO was 59.59%.
As of the end of fiscal year 2014, the company’s total revenues from its grains brokerage business unit were Ps. 45.4 million with a trading volume of 1.9 million tons, in line with the volume traded in the 2013 period despite the lagging of the harvesting activities in the whole territory of Argentina. The main crops traded were corn and soybean, and to a lesser extent, wheat and sunflower.
At the closing of fiscal year 2013, the company acquired Granos Olavarría S.A., by purchasing a 96.37% interest in it. This company is engaged in cereal storage and brokerage activities, and since its acquisition, it has traded approximately 0.3 million tons during the fiscal year.
As concerns its supplies business, it recorded a strong growth, generating revenues for Ps. 67.5 million, an increase of 55% as compared to the revenues generated in the previous fiscal year. The sector added a new proprietary product line and has developed new strategic alliances with first class companies that do business in different regions of the world.
FyO’s internet business is one of the most comprehensive and better positioned businesses in the sector, as it offers a full suite of products and services for customers and users. It has the leading portal in agricultural trading and in the social networks it has the largest community in the farming industry. Moreover, it leads the mobile sector through its two apps. In November of 2014 the business will reach its fifteenth anniversary. From its onset, it has been adding to its customer portfolio leading international and domestic companies and reaching an increasing number of users and ascending presence in search engines such as Google. In August 2013, it revamped its site and launched new products, becoming one of the sites with the most advanced technology and innovations in the industry. At the closing of this fiscal year, it has reached over 900,000 visits per month, 120,000 users per month and 70 clients per year.
FyO’s goal is to continue consolidating itself as a leading company in the grains brokerage business, standing out from its competitors by offering a full suite of advisory services to its clients and contributing its broad experience in the industry along with its staff’s expertise.

Land Management
In contrast to traditional Argentine farmlands, run by families, we centralize policy making in our Executive Committee that meets on a weekly basis in the City of Buenos Aires. Individual farm management is delegated to farm managers who are responsible for farm operations. The Executive Committee lays down commercial and production rules based on sales, market expectations and risk allocation.
We rotate the use of our pasture lands between agricultural production and cattle feeding and the frequency depends on the location and characteristics of the farmland. The use of preservation techniques (including exploitation by no till sowing) frequently allows us to improve farm performance.
Subsequent to the acquisition of the properties, we make investments in technology in order to improve productivity and increase the value of the property. It may be the case that upon acquisition, a given extension of the property is under-utilized or the infrastructure may be in need of improvement. We have invested in traditional fencing and in electrical fencing, watering troughs for cattle herds, irrigation equipment and machinery, among other things.
Principal Markets
Crops
Our crop production is entirely sold in the local market. The prices of our grains are based on the market prices quoted in Argentine grains exchanges such as the Bolsa de Cereales de Buenos Aires and the Bolsa de Cereales de Rosario that take as reference the prices in international grains exchanges. The largest part of this production is sold to exporters who offer and ship this production to the international market. Prices are quoted in relation to the month of delivery and the port in which the product is to be delivered. Different conditions in price, such as terms of storage and shipment, are negotiated between the end buyer and ourselves.
Cattle
Our cattle production is sold in the local market. The main buyers are slaughterhouses and supermarkets.
Prices in the cattle market in Argentina are basically fixed by local supply and demand. The Liniers Market (in the City of Buenos Aires) provides a standard in price formation for the rest of the domestic market. In this market live animals are sold by auction on a daily basis. At Liniers Market, prices are negotiated by kilogram of live weight and are mainly determined by local supply and demand. Prices tend to be lower than in industrialized countries. Some supermarkets and meat packers establish their prices by kilogram of processed meat; in these cases, the final price is influenced by processing yields.
Dairy
During fiscal year 2014, 2013 and 2012, we sold our entire milk production to the largest Argentine dairy company, Mastellone Hnos. S.A., which in turn manufactures a range of mass consumption dairy products sold in Argentina and abroad. The price of the milk we sell is mainly based on the percentage of fat and protein that it contains and the temperature at which it is cooled. The price we obtain from our milk also rises or drops based on the content of bacteria and somatic cells.
Customers
For the fiscal year 2014 our sales from the agribusiness segment (excluding sales of farmlands) were made to approximately 500 customers. Sales to our ten largest customers represented approximately 45% to 50% of our net sales. Of these customers, our biggest three customers were Bunge Alimentos S.A., Brenco Companhia Brasileira de Energia Renovável and Molinos Río de la Plata S.A. We have signed non-binding letters of intent with some of our largest customers that allow us to estimate the volume of the demand for certain products and to plan production accordingly. We generally enter into short-term agreements with a term of less than a year.
Marketing Channels and Sales Methods
Crops
We normally work with grains brokers and other intermediaries to trade in the exchanges. We sell part of our production in advance through futures contracts and buy and sell options to hedge against a drop in prices. Approximately 87% of the futures and options contracts are closed through the Bolsa de Cereales de Buenos Aires and 13% in the Chicago Board of Trade for hedging purposes.
Our storage capabilities allow us to condition and store grains with no third-party involvement and thus to capitalize the fluctuations in the price of commodities. Our largest storage facilities in Argentina, with capacity for 10,000 tons, are located in “Las Vertientes”, close to Río Cuarto, Province of Córdoba. In addition, we store grains in silo bags. On the other hand, in Brazil we have a total storage capacity of 90,200 tons.
Cattle
We have several marketing channels. We sell directly to local meat processors and supermarkets, as well as in markets and auctions. Our customers include Arre Beef S.A., Quickfood S.A., Frigorífico Forres Beltrán S.A., Madelán S.A., Colombo y Colombo S.A., Iván O’Farrell S.R.L. and Columbo y Magliano S.A., for prices based on the price at Liniers Market.
We usually are responsible for the costs of the freight to the market and, in general, we do not pay commissions on our transactions.
Supplies
The current direct cost of our production of grains varies in relation to each crop and normally includes the following costs: tillage, seeds, agrochemicals and fertilizers. We buy in bulk and store seeds, agrochemicals and fertilizers to benefit from discounts offered during off-season sales.
Competition
The agricultural and livestock sector is highly competitive, with a huge number of produceRs. We are one of the leading producers in Argentina and the region. However, if we compare the percentage of our production to the country’s total figures, our production would appear as extremely low, since the agricultural market is highly atomized. Our leading position improves our bargaining power with suppliers and customeRs. In general, we obtain discounts in the region in the acquisition of raw materials and an excess price in our sales.
Historically, there have been few companies competing for the acquisition and leases of farmlands for the purpose of benefiting from land appreciation and optimization of yields in the different commercial activities. However, we anticipate the possibility that new companies, some of them international, may become active players in the acquisition of farmlands and the leases of sown land, which would add players to the market in coming years.
Seasonality
As is the case with any company in the agro-industrial sector, our business activities are inherently seasonal. Harvest and sales of grains (corn, soybean and sunflower) in general take place from February to June. Wheat is harvested from December to January. With respect to our international market, in Bolivia climate conditions allow a double season of soybean, corn and sorghum production and, accordingly, these crops are harvested in April and October, while wheat and sunflower are harvested during August and September, respectively. Other segments of our activities, such as our sales of cattle and milk and our forestry activities tend to be more of a successive character than of a seasonal character. However, the production of beef and milk is generally higher during the second quarter, when pasture conditions are more favorable. In consequence, there may be significant variations in results from one quarter to the other.

Regulation and Government Supervision of our Agricultural Business
Farming and Animal Husbandry Agreements
Agreements relating to farming and animal husbandry activities are regulated by Argentine law, the Argentine Civil Code and local customs.
According to Law No. 13,246, as amended, all lease agreements related to rural properties and land are required to have a minimum duration of 3 years. Upon death of the tenant farmer, the agreement may continue with his successors. Upon misuse of the land by the tenant farmer or default on payment of the rent, the land owner may initiate an eviction proceeding.
Law No. 13,246 also regulates agreements for crop sharing pursuant to which one of the parties furnishes the other with farmland animals or land with the purpose to share benefits between tenant farmer and land owner. These agreements are required to have a minimum term of duration of 3 years. The tenant farmer must perform the obligations under the agreement himself and may not, assign it under any circumstances. Upon death, incapacity of the tenant farmer or other impossibility, the agreement may be terminated.
Quality control of Crops and Cattle
The quality of the grains and the health measures applied on the cattle are regulated and controlled by the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria (“SENASA”), which is an entity within the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance.
Argentine law establishes that the brands should be registered with each provincial registry and that there cannot be brands alike within the same province.
Sale and Transportation of Cattle
Even though the sale of cattle is not specifically regulated, general contract provisions are applicable. Further, every province has its own rural code regulating the sale of cattle.
Argentine law establishes that the transportation of cattle is lawful only when it is done with the respective certificate that specifies the relevant information about the cattle. The required information for the certificate is established by the different provincial regulations, the inter-provinces treaties and the regulations issued by the SENASA.
Export Restriction of Beef
The Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Products, within the orbit of the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance, oversees the farming and animal sanitary activities.
The Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Products is in charge of distributing the annual regular quota of top quality chilled beef without bones, the “Cuota Hilton.” The destination of the Cuota Hilton is the European Union.
The Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Products granted to our subsidiary Carnes Pampeanas up to 1,266.7 tons to export beef under the Cuota Hilton for the July 2013-June 2014 period.
Environment
The development of our agribusiness activities depends on a number of federal, provincial and municipal laws and regulations related to environmental protection.
We may be subject to criminal and administrative penalties, including taking action to reverse the adverse impact of our activities on the environment and to reimburse third parties for damages resulting from contraventions of environmental laws and regulations. Under the Argentine Criminal Code, persons (including directors, officers and managers of corporations) who commit crimes against public health, such as poisoning or dangerously altering water, food or medicine used for public consumption and selling products that are dangerous to health, without the necessary warnings, may be subject to fines, imprisonment or both. Some courts have enforced these provisions in the Argentine Criminal Code to sanction the discharge of substances which are hazardous to human health. At the administrative level, the penalties vary from warnings and fines to the full or partial suspension of the activities, which may include the revocation or annulment of tax benefits, cancellation or interruption of credit lines granted by state banks and a prohibition against entering into contracts with public entities.
The Forestry Legislation of Argentina prohibits the devastation of forests and forested lands, as well as the irrational use of forest products. Landowners, tenants and holders of natural forests require an authorization from the Forestry Competent Authority for the cultivation of forest land. The legislation also promotes the formation and conservation of natural forests in properties used for agriculture and farming purposes.
As of June 30, 2014, we owned land reserves extending over 358,518 hectares (including all the farmlands in Cresca and Brasilagro), which are located in under-utilized areas where agricultural production is not yet fully developed. We also have 109,014 hectares under concession as reserves for future developments. We believe that technological tools are available to improve the productivity of such land and enhance its long-term value. However, existing or future environmental regulations may prevent us from developing our land reserves, requiring us to maintain a portion of such land as unproductive land reserves.
In accordance with legislative requirements, we have applied for approval to develop certain parts of our land reserves and were authorized to develop them partially and to maintain other areas as land reserves. We cannot assure you that current or future development applications will be approved, and if so, to what extent we will be allowed to develop our land reserves.
On November 28, 2007, Argentine Congress passed a law known as the Forest Law which sets minimum standards for the conservation of native forests and incorporates minimum provincial expenditures to promote the protection, restoration, conservation and sustainable use of native forests. The Forest Law prevents landowners, including owners of native forests, from deforesting or converting forested areas into non-forested land for other commercial uses without prior permission from each local government that gives the permit and requires the preparation, assessment and approval of an environmental impact report. The Forest Law also provides that each province should adopt its own legislation and regional regulation map. Until such provincial implementation is carried into effect, no new areas may be deforested, an implementation plan is required within a term of one year and no deforestation is allowed within the referred one-year term. In addition, the Forest Law also establishes a national policy for sustainable use of native forests and includes the recognition of native communities and aims to provide preferential use rights to indigenous communities living and farming near the forest. In case a project affects such communities, the relevant provincial authority may not issue permits without formal public hearings and written consent of the communities.
Besides, the rules of the CNV require that the CNV be informed of any events or fortuitous developments that significantly hinder or are expected to hinder the development of the company’s activities, including events that affect or could affect the environment, specifying their consequences.
Our activities are subject to a number of national, provincial and municipal environmental provisions. Section 41 of the Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, provides that all Argentine inhabitants have the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development and have the duty to preserve it. Environmental damage shall bring about primarily the obligation to restore it as provided by applicable law. The authorities shall protect this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of biodiversity, and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The National Government shall establish minimum standards for environmental protection and Provincial and Municipal Governments shall fix specific standards and regulatory provisions.
On November 6, 2009, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675. The law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and fixes environmental policy goals. Moreover, Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, the Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and mainly provides for restoration of the environment to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, for payment of a compensation in lieu thereof. The Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum reporting obligations to be fulfilled by natural and artificial persons.
Taxes on the Transfer of Property and Sale of Meat and Grains
Value Added Tax. This tax is applicable to the sale of personal property, the rendering of services and the import of goods and services supplied in Argentina. The general tax rate is 21%.
The value added tax law imposes a reduced rate, equal to 10.5% on the sale price of live animals (including cattle, sheep, camels and goats) as well as meat and edible remains of the animals listed above, whether fresh, chilled, or frozen, which have not undergone any cooking or manufacturing process turning them into a manufactured product. This 10.5% reduced rate is also applicable to the sale of grains (cereals and oilseeds, excluding rice), and dry pulses (beans, peas, and lentils). In the case of milk, the sale is subject to a 21% rate (except for sales to final consumers, the federal government, the provinces, municipalities or the City of Buenos Aires or any subordinate agencies, school or university kitchens, health funds or entities under the scope of paragraphs e), f), g) and m) of Section 20 of the Income Tax Law, which are exempt).
Land sales are not subject to this tax.
Gross Sales Tax. This is a local tax (collected by the provinces and the City of Buenos Aires) that levies gross revenues derived from the ordinary development of a given business for profit. When the same business is developed in more than one jurisdiction, the tax is applicable pursuant to the regulations set forth in the Multilateral Agreement, which establishes the proportions allocable to each of the jurisdictions involved, so as to prevent double or multiple taxation. In the City of Buenos Aires, gross revenues derived from livestock raising and milk production are subject to this tax at a general rate of 1%. In certain provinces, the sale or primary goods is not taxable.
Stamp Tax. This is a local tax that 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires collect based on similar rules regarding subject matter, tax base and rates. In general, this tax is levied on acts executed and delivered by means of documents (e.g. acts related to the constitution, transmission, or expiration of rights, contracts, contracts for sales of stock and company shares, public deeds relating to real property, etc.).
In the City of Buenos Aires (federal district) the stamp tax only applies to public deeds for the transfer of real estate, or for any other contract whereby the ownership of real property is transferred and commercial leases. The purchase and sale of real estate through public deed is not taxable if the real estate will be used for permanent dwelling purposes, and provided that it is the only property owned by the purchaser. In the City of Buenos Aires the tax rate is 2.5%. In the Province of Buenos Aires, the tax rate is 3.6% for public deeds of transfer of real property.
Antitrust Law
Law No. 25,156, as amended (the “Antitust Law”), prevents anticompetitive practices and requires administrative authorization for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law would lead to market concentration. According to this law, such transactions would include mergers, transfers of goodwill, acquisitions of property or rights over shares, capital or other convertible securities, or similar operations by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences a company. Whenever such a transaction involves a company or companies with accumulated sales volume greater than Ps. 200.0 million in Argentina, then the respective transaction should be submitted for approval to the Argentine Antitrust Authority. The request for approval may be filed, either prior to the transaction or within a week after its completion.
When a request for approval is filed, the Argentine Antitrust Authority may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) subordinate the transaction to the accomplishment of certain conditions, or (iii) reject the authorization.
The Antitrust Law provides that economic concentrations in which the transaction amount and the value of the assets absorbed, acquired, transferred or controlled in Argentina does not exceed Ps. 20.0 million are exempted from the administrative authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when all transactions effected in the last twelve months exceed in total Ps. 20.0 million or in total Ps. 60.0 million in the last 36 months, these transactions must be notified to the Argentine Antitrust Authority.
As our consolidated annual sales volume exceeds Ps. 200.0 million, we should give notice to the Argentine Antitrust Authority of any transaction within the scope of the Antitrust Law.
IRSA’s Segments – Urban properties and investments
As of June 30, 2014, our investment in IRSA’s common shares amounts to 66.01%.
The following information corresponds to data of the segments extracted from IRSA’s Annual Report and financial statements as of June 30, 2014.
We are engaged in the acquisition, development and management of office buildings and other rental properties in Argentina. As of June 30, 2014, we directly and indirectly owned interests in office and other rental properties in Argentina, which comprised 245,917 square meters of gross leasable area. Out of these properties, 11 were office properties, which comprised 122,470 square meters of gross leasable area. For fiscal year 2014, we had revenues from Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties of Ps. 341 million.
All our office rental properties in Argentina are located in the City of Buenos Aires. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the average occupancy rate for all our properties in the Offices and Others segment was approximately 97.5%.
Management
We generally act as the managing agent of the office properties in which we own an interest. These interests consist primarily of the ownership of entire buildings or a substantial number of floors in a building. The buildings in which we own floors are generally managed pursuant to the terms of a condominium agreement that typically provides for control by a simple majority of the interests (based on the area owned) in the building. As the managing agent of operations, we are responsible for handling services, such as security, maintenance and housekeeping. These services are generally outsourced. The cost of the services is passed-through and paid for by the tenants, except in the case of our units not rented, in which case we absorb the cost. Our leasable space is marketed through commissioned brokers, the media and directly by us.
Leases
We usually lease our offices and other rental properties by using contracts with an average term of three years, with the exception of a few contracts with terms of five years. These contracts are renewable for two or three years at the tenant’s option. Contracts for the rental of office buildings and other commercial properties are generally stated in U.S. dollars, and in accordance with Argentine law they are not subject to inflation adjustment. Rental rates for renewed periods are negotiated at market value.

Principal Terms of the Leases
Under Argentine Law, terms of commercial leases must be between three to ten years, with most leases in the shopping center business having terms of no more than five years. Alto Palermo’s lease agreements are generally denominated in Pesos.
Leasable space in Alto Palermo’s shopping centers is marketed through an exclusive arrangement with its real estate broker, Fibesa S.A. (“Fibesa”). Alto Palermo has a standard lease agreement, the terms and conditions of which are described below, which it uses for most tenants. However, Alto Palermo’s largest tenants generally negotiate better terms for their respective leases. No assurance can be given that lease terms will be as set forth in the standard lease agreement.
Alto Palermo charges its tenants a rent which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly gross sales in the store (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross sales). Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 24% each year on an annual and cumulative basis as from the thirteenth (13th) month of the lease effective term. Although many of our lease agreements contain readjustment clauses, these are not based on an official index nor do they reflect the inflation index.
In addition to rent, Alto Palermo charges most of its tenants an admission fee, which is required to be paid upon entering into a lease agreement and upon a lease agreement renewal, which is negotiated with each of the tenants. The admission fee is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. If the tenant pays this fee in installments, it is the tenant’s responsibility to pay for the balance of any such amount unpaid in the event the tenant terminates its lease prior to its expiration. In the event of unilateral termination and/or resolution for breach of duties by the tenant, a tenant will not be refunded its admission right without Alto Palermo’s consent.
Alto Palermo is responsible for supplying each shopping center with the electrical power connection and provision, a main telephone switchboard, central air conditioning connection and a connection to a general fire detection system. Each rental unit is connected to these systems. Alto Palermo also provides the food court tenants with sanitation and with gas systems connections. Each tenant is responsible for completing all the necessary installations within its own rental unit, in addition to payment of the direct expenses generated by these items within each rental unit. These direct expenses generally include: electricity, water, gas, telephone and air conditioning. Tenants must also pay for a percentage of total charges and general taxes related to the maintenance of the common areas. Alto Palermo determines this percentage based on several factoRs. The common area expenses include, among others, administration, security, operations, maintenance, cleaning and taxes.
Alto Palermo carries out promotional and marketing activities to increase visits to its shopping centers. These activities are paid for with the tenants’ contributions to the Common Promotional Fund (“CPF”), which is administered by Alto Palermo. Every month tenants contribute to the CPF an amount equal to approximately 15% of their rent (Base Rent or Percentage Rent, as applicable), in addition to rent and expense payments. Alto Palermo may increase the percentage that tenants must contribute to the CPF, but the increase cannot exceed 25% of the original amount set forth in the corresponding lease agreement for the contributions to the CPF. Alto Palermo also may require tenants to make extraordinary contributions to the CPF to fund special promotional and marketing campaigns or to cover the costs of special promotional events that benefit all tenants. We may require tenants to make these extraordinary contributions up to four times a year provided that each such extraordinary contribution may not exceed 25% of the preceding monthly rental payment of the tenant.
Each tenant leases its rental unit as a shell without any fixtures. Each tenant is responsible for the interior design of its rental unit. Any modifications and additions to the rental units must be pre-approved by Alto Palermo. Alto Palermo has the option to decide tenants’ responsibility for all costs incurred in remodeling the rental units or for removing any additions made to the rental unit when the lease expires. Furthermore, tenants are responsible for obtaining adequate insurance for their rental units, which must include, among other things, coverage for fire, glass breakage, theft, flood, civil liability and workers’ compensation.

Sales and Development of Properties and Land Reserves
Residential Development Properties
The acquisition and development of residential apartment complexes and residential communities for sale is one of the company’s core activities. Our development of residential apartment complexes consists of the new construction of high-rise towers or the conversion and renovation of existing structures such as factories or warehouses. In connection with our development of residential communities, we frequently acquire vacant land, develop infrastructure such as roads, utilities and common areas, and sell plots of land for construction of single-family homes. We may also develop or sell portions of land for others to develop complementary facilities such as shopping areas within residential developments.
In fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, revenues from the development and sale of properties segment amounted to Ps. 331.5 million, compared to Ps. 225.8 million posted in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
Construction and renovation works on our residential development properties are currently performed, under our supervision, by independent Argentine construction companies that are selected through a bidding process. We enter into turnkey contracts with the selected company for the construction of residential development properties pursuant to which the selected company agrees to build and deliver the development for a fixed price and at a fixed date. We are generally not responsible for any additional costs based upon the turnkey contract. All other aspects of the construction, including architectural design, are performed by third parties.
Another modality for the development of residential undertakings is the exchange of land for constructed square meteRs. In this way, we deliver undeveloped pieces of land and another firm is in charge of building the project. In this case, we receive finished square meters for commercialization, without taking part in the construction works.
The following table shows certain information and gives an overview regarding our sales and development properties as of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

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

TGLT paid the US$10.7 million on November 5, 2010. On December 16, 2010, the title deed to the Beruti plot of land was executed. To ensure performance of the obligations assumed by TGLT under the deed of sale, a mortgage was granted in favor of APSA.
An association called “Asociación Amigos Alto Palermo” filed a write of relief in order to prevent the construction and obtained a precautionary measure for the suspension of the works. The Aplicable Court (Juzgado Contencioso Administrative and its upheld) for the City of Buenos Aires ordered the release of the precautionary measure that suspended the works. At present, the write of relief is in the discovery stage, and no judgment has been rendered in that regard. On December 4, 2013 the term for the delivery of the units involved was extended for 11 months.

As of today, evidence is being produced in a trial seeking to get final judgment on the continuation of the works on the property. It should be noted that the Company is not a part of this legal process, only the neighborhood association and TGLT are.
Land Reserves and development properties
CONIL – Avellaneda, Province of Buenos Aires (APSA)
These plots of APSA (through CONILS.A.) are at the front of Alto Avellaneda shopping center, totaling 2,398 sqm distributed in two opposite corners and according to urban planning standards, around 6,000 sqm may be built. Its intended use, either through an own development or sale to a third party, is residential with the possibility of a retail space as well.
Other Land Reserves – Isla Sirgadero, Pilar, Pontevedra, Mariano Acosta, Merlo and San Luis Plot (IRSA)
We grouped here those plots of land with a significant surface area the development of which is not feasible in the short term either due to their current urban and zoning parameters, their legal status or the lack of consolidation of their immediate environment. This group totals around 14 million sqm.
Sale of Constitución 1159 – City of Buenos Aires (IRSA)
On May 6, the site located at Constitución 1159, City of Buenos Aires, comprising the stock of “Land Reserves” was sold. It has a surface area of 2,072 sqm and a capacity per FOT of 10,360 sqm.

Shopping Centers
Arcos del Gourmet
In December 2011, APSA started to develop Distrito Arcos project located in the neighborhood of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires. Distrito Arcos will be an open-air space shopping center with a variety of premium brands in the exclusive neighborhood of Palermo.
Distrito Arcos is expected to add approximately 14,000 square meters of gross leasable area and 65 stores to APSAs portfolio, including a cinema with approximately 800 square meters and more than 1,000 square meters dedicated to restaurants. APSA expects that this project, which will combine a retail and a cultural concept, will equal the success of the last projects.
The opening was scheduled for December 2013, but an injunction was imposed that suspended the opening on grounds that certain governmental permits have been not granted. The construction works in Distrito Arcos as of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 rise to Ps. 236.2 million, Ps. 136.3 million and 17.8 million, respectively. On June 30, 2014 the contractual obligations corresponds mainly to constructions related with the project above and rise to Ps. 234 million.
On December 10, 2013, Administrative and Tax Contentious Court of the City of Buenos Aires ratified an injunction that suspends the opening of Distrito Arcos on the grounds that it has failed to obtain certain government permits. Despite the fact that the construction has all government permits in place, APSA has filed an appeal against the decision and has requested that the injunction be lifted. Along this line, on April 10, 2014, the government of the City of Buenos Aires issued a new environmental compliance certificate.
On the other hand, in one of the two judicial processes (amparos – actions intended to protect constitutional rights) currently being heard, “Charlon, Marcelo Alejandro and others VS. GCBA on/ amparo”, the Court of Appeals referred above confirmed the decision rendered by the lower court whereby the action was abated, as per notice served upon us on September 1, 2014. The process has concluded with the decision being favorable to us.
As to the other process entitled Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (“FECOBA”) and others v. GCBA on amparo”, on August 29, 2014 the lower court rendered a decision rejecting the case. As of the date of this annual report, Distrito Arcos has not been opened yet.
Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos, Córdoba, Province of Córdoba
In November 2006, APSA participated in a public bidding called by Corporación Inmobiliaria Córdoba S.A. for the sale of the building known as Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos, located in the City of Córdoba, Province of Córdoba. The building has a surface area of 5,147 square meters. Inside the building there is a portion of the Patio Olmos shopping center, which operates on four commercial floors and has two underground parking lots. This shopping center also includes two adjacent buildings with cinemas and a commercial annex connected to the property not covered by the bids and legally related through easement contracts. The building is under a concession contract which was assigned to us as part of the bid, effective for a 40-year term, expiring in February 2032, in which APSA acts as grantor. On September 25, 2007, the Government of the Province of Córdoba executed and delivered the title deed conveying the property, together with the transfer of the respective concession contract.
After execution of the title deed, the government of the Province of Córdoba declared part of the property to be of public use and subject to partial expropriation in order to be used exclusively for the Libertador San Martín Theater. On October 6, 2008, APSA challenged the aforementioned Resolution on unconstitutional grounds. Alternatively, APSA challenged the appraisal made by the plaintiff of the portion of the property to be expropriated and, additionally, APSA claimed damages not included in the appraisal and resulting immediately and directly from the eventual expropriation. As of the date of this annual report, evidence is being produced by the parties in the expropriation court procedure.
Paraná Plot of land, Province of Entre Ríos
On June 30, 2009, APSA executed a “Letter of Intent” whereby APSA stated our intention to acquire a plot of land of approximately 10,022 square meters in the City of Paraná, Province of Entre Ríos, to be allocated to the construction, development and exploitation of a shopping center or mall. The purchase price was US$ 0.5 million, of which was fully paid as an advance payment and as consideration for the promise of not selling the property until November 27, 2009. On June 29, 2012, the parties have agreed to extend the term for the execution of the title conveyance deed, which shall be executed within sixty days as from the date the seller provides reliable notification to the buyer that the property is not subject to any levy, encumbrance, restrictions on ownership, except for the right of way already mentioned. As of the balance sheet date, evidence of such notice has not been provided.
Developments in progress
Alto Comahue Project – Province of Neuquén (APSA)
On May 22, 2014 Shopping Neuquén SA executed an addendum to the last agreement entered into with the Municipality of Neuquén in 2012, extending the terms for the opening of the Shopping Center for 6 additional months, with March 17, 2015 being the deadline.
As of the end of this fiscal period, the physical degree of progress of the shopping center’s works was 47% and the economic progress was 55%. The estimated total amount invested amounts to Ps.250 million.
During the first half of this fiscal year, Alto Comahue was defined as the name for the Shopping Center after carrying out a market research, and it was communicated in a press release event.
Apart from the construction of a Shopping Center and Cinemas, the project includes a Hypermarket, Residential apartments and a Hotel. The plot intended for the construction of the Hypermarket was sold to Gensar S.A. in 2011, which then transferred it to COTO CICSA, which opened the largest COTO Hypermarket of the Patagonia in May 2014.
As regards the plot for the Hotel, on April 11, 2014 it was sold to the real estate developer Continental Urbana S.A. The plot has a surface area of 3,000 sqm and a construction capacity per FOT (Total Occupancy Factor) of 10,000 sqm.
Finally, the company owns the parcel intended for residential apartments, of approximately 13,000 sqm with a construction capacity of 18,000 sqm.
Future Developments
Mixed Uses:
Ex UOM – Luján, Province of Buenos Aires
This 116-hectare plot of land is located in the 62 Km of the West Highway, in the intersection with Route 5 and was originally purchased by Cresud on May 31, 2008 from Birafriends S.A. for US$ 3 million. In May 2012, APSA acquired the property through a purchase and sale agreement entered into between related parties, thus becoming the current owner. Our intention is to carry out a mixed-use project, taking advantage of the environment consolidation and the strategic location of the plot. At present, dealings are being carried out so as to change the zoning parameters, thus enabling the consummation of the project.
Ex Nobleza Piccardo Plant – San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires
We hold a 50% interest in Quality Invest, owner of the San Martín property (ex Nobleza Piccardo plant). On December 28, 2012, in compliance with the Lease Agreement executed upon the acquisition of the site, Nobleza Piccardo partially vacated the property located in the district of San Martín. Quality Invest received approximately 2,100 sqm of offices and 50,300 sqm of industrial units. The vacation of the remaining surface area scheduled for May 2014 pursuant to the agreement was extended again to December 31, 2014.
It should be mentioned that as of the end of this fiscal year the site has the Industrial Park zoning parameters in force since its acquisition; however, due to the pre-feasibility application for business purposes obtained in May 2012, the construction and exploitation of a Shopping Center would be allowed.
As concerns the project for the plot, as of to date there is a mixed-use Master Plan (including Residential Apartments, a Shopping Center, Entertainment, Offices, Hotel, etc.), in order to perform an urban development at large scale involving 400,000 sqm. The Master Plan is pending definition as regards certain technical aspects and then the San Martin Municipality’s Legislative Branch must approve it in order to be ratified by Decree in the Province of Buenos Aires.
Solares de Santa María – City of Buenos Aires
Solares de Santa María is a 70-hectare property facing the Río de la Plata in the south of Puerto Madero, 10 minutes from downtown of the City of Buenos Aires. Through IRSA’s subsidiary Solares de Santa María S.A. (“Solares de Santa María”) we are owners of this property. IRSA’s intend to develop this property for mixed purposes, i.e. its development project involves residential complexes as well as offices, stores, hotels, sports and sailing clubs, services areas with schools, supermarkets and parking lots.
In the year 2000, we filed a master plan for the Santa María del Plata site, which was assessed by COPUA (“Environmental Urban Plan Council – Consejo del Plan Urbano Ambiental”) and submitted to the Town Treasurer’s Office for its consideration. In 2002, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires issued a notice of public hearing and in July 2006, the COPUA made some recommendations about the project, and in response to the recommendations made by COPUA to the project on December 13, 2006, we filed an amendment to the project to adjust it to the recommendations made by COPUA, making material amendments to our development plan for the Area, which amendments included the donation of 50% of the site to the City of Buenos Aires for public use and convenience and a perimetrical pedestrian lane along the entire site on the river bank.
In March 2007, a committee of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, composed of representatives from the Legislative and Executive Branches issued a report stating that such Committee had no objections to our development plan and requested that the General Treasury render a decision concerning the scope of the development plan submitted for the project. In November 2007, 15 years after the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires granted the general zoning standards for the site, the Government Chief of the City of Buenos Aires executed.
Executive Branch Decree No.1584/07, which passed the specific ruling, set forth certain rules for the urban development of the project, including types of permitted constructions and the obligation to assign certain spaces for public use and convenience.
Notwithstanding the approval of Decree No. 1584/07 in 2007, several municipal approvals are still pending and in December 2007, a municipal court rendered a decision restricting the implementation of our proposed development plan, due to objections made by a legislator of the City of Buenos Aires, alleging the suspension of Decree No. 1584/07, and each construction project and/or the municipal permits granted for business purposes. Notwithstanding the legality and validity of the Decree No. 1584/07, we entered into the agreement No. 5/10 that was executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, which has been sent with a legislative bill to the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires under number 976-J-2010, for approval. Once approved, these regulations will have the hierarchy of a law.
On October 30, 2012 a new agreement was executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, replacing all those already executed, whereby new obligations were agreed upon between the parties for the consummation of the project. To that end, such Agreement – as well as the previous ones – shall be countersigned and approved by the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires by enacting a bill that is attached to the project. As of to date, the project is pending such legislative treatment.
Puerto Retiro – City of Buenos Aires
Puerto Retiro is an 8.2 hectare undeveloped riverside property bounded by the Catalinas and Puerto Madero office zones to the west, the Retiro railway station to the north and the Río de la Plata to the south and east. One of the only two significant privately owned waterfront properties in the City of Buenos Aires, Puerto Retiro may currently be utilized only for port activities, so we have initiated negotiations with municipal authorities in order to rezone the area. Our plan is to develop a 360,000 sqm financial center. The launching date has not been settled and consequently, the estimated cost and financing method are not decided yet. We own a 50% interest in Puerto Retiro.

Zetol S.A. and Vista al Muelle S.A. – District of Canelones – Uruguay
In the course of fiscal year 2009 we acquired a 100% ownership interest in Liveck S.A. ("Liveck"), a company organized under the laws of Uruguay, in exchange for a token consideration. In June 2009, Liveck had acquired a 90% stake in the capital stock of Vista al Muelle S.A. and Zetol S.A., two Uruguay-based real estate companies, for US$ 7.8 million. The remaining 10% ownership interest in both companies is in the hands of Banzey S.A. (Banzey). These companies have undeveloped lands in Canelones, Uruguay, close to the capital city of Uruguay, Montevideo.
We intend to carry out an urban project consisting in the development and commercialization of 13 apartment buildings. Such project has the “urban feasibility” status for the construction of approximately 200,000 sqm for a term of 10 years, which was granted by the Mayor’s Office of the Canelones department and by its Local Legislature. Zetol S.A. and Vista al Muelle S.A. agreed to carry out the infrastructure works for US$ 8 million as well as minimum amount of sqm of properties. The satisfaction of this commitment under the terms and conditions agreed upon will grant an additional 10-year effective term to the urban feasibility status.
The total purchase price for Zetol was US$ 7.0 million; of which US$ 2.0 million were paid. Sellers may opt to receive the balance in cash or through the delivery of units in the buildings to be constructed in the land owned by Zetol equivalent to 12% of the total marketable meters to be constructed.
Besides, Vista al Muelle S.A. owned since September 2008 a plot of land purchased in due time for US$ 0.83 million. Then, in February 2010, plots of land were acquired for US$ 1 million, the balance of which as of to date amounts to US$ 0.28 plus interest and will be repaid in December 2014. In December 2010, Vista al Muelle executed the title deed of other plots for a total amount of US$ 2.66 million, of which US$ 0.3 million were paid. The balance will be repaid by delivering 2,334 sqm of units and/or retail stores to be constructed or in cash.
On June 30, 2009, the Company sold a 50% stake in Liveck to Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A for US$ 1.3 million. On December 17, 2010, IRSA and Cyrela executed a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which IRSA repurchased from Cyrela a 50% shareholding in Liveck S.A. for US$ 2.7 million. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2014, IRSA’s stake, through Tyrus, in Liveck is 100%.
As a result of the plot barter agreements executed in due time between the Intendencia Municipal de Canelones (“IMC”), Zetol S.A. and Vista al Muelle S.A. in March 2014, the parcel redistribution dealing was concluded. This milestone, as set forth in the amendment to the Master Agreement executed in 2013, initiates the 10-year term for the investment in infrastructure and construction of the buildings mentioned above. At present, the urban project and the design of the first tower are being developed.
Canteras Natal Crespo, La Calera – Province of Córdoba

Caballito Plot – City of Buenos Aires
This is a property of approximately 23,791 sqm in the City of Buenos Aires, neighborhood of Caballito, one of the most densely populated of the city, which APSA purchased in November 1997. This plot would allow developing a shopping center having 30,000 sqm, a hypermarket, a cinema complex, and several recreation and entertainment activity areas. At present, the legislature of the City of Buenos Aires has received a legislative bill to approve the zoning parameters corresponding to this property which already has the consent of the Executive Branch.
Dot Adjoining Plot – City of Buenos Aires
On May 3, 2012, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, through the General Office of Zoning Interpretation (Dirección General de Interpretación Urbanística) approved, through a pre-feasibility study, the parcel subdivision of the Ex-Philips plot contingent upon the observance of the applicable building regulations in each of the resulting parcels. In addition, all the uses and parameters established under the municipal ordinance previously issued by the above mentioned authority are being observed.

Intercontinental Plaza II Plot - City of Buenos Aires
The Intercontinental Plaza complex is located in the heart of the Monserrat district, situated a few meters away from the most important avenue in the city and the financial district. It comprises an office tower and the exclusive Intercontinental Hotel. In the 6,135 square meter plot, it would be feasible to develop a second office tower, including 19,600 square meters and 25 floors, that would supplement the one already erected in the intersection of Moreno and Tacuarí streets.
Hotels
During fiscal year 2014, we kept our 76.4% interest in Intercontinental hotel, 80% interest in Sheraton Libertador hotel and 50% interest in Llao Llao. We observed an increase in the occupancy of our hotels due to a higher inflow of foreign tourists, mainly in Llao Llao which could recover its revenue and rate levels after a difficult 2012 and part of 2013 due to the Puyehue volcano eruption which kept Bariloche’s airport closed most of the year.

The year-on-year reduction in the occupancy rate is explained by the exit of one of the largest tenants in the building who vacated floor 17, resulting in an increase in the vacancy rate of 3.89 points.
During this fiscal year, the Company executed an agreement subject to certain conditions to sell the Madison 183 building for a total amount of US$ 185 million. We received an escrow deposit of US$ 18 million in connection with the above referred agreement to be released as part of the Purchase Price at the Closing Date.

Investment in Supertel Hospitality Inc.
In March 2012, IRSA, through its subsidiary RES, in which it holds a 66.8% interest, consummated the transaction for the acquisition of 3,000,000 Series C convertible preferred shares issued by Supertel in an aggregate amount of US$ 30 million.

As the capital increase which Supertel planned to make in September 2013 could not be consummated due to market conditions, in January 2014 RES and Efanur (wholly controlled by the company) entered into a credit line for up to US$ 2 million with Supertel maturing on July 9, 2015. In June 2014, Supertel announced the results of the issue of rights to purchase common shares for US$ 1.6, whereby RES and Efanur opted to capitalize the above mentioned loan.

In addition, the purchase agreement provides that Dolphin Netherlands and ETH shall jointly and severally pay to the creditors who are parties to the above mentioned restructuring agreement an additional amount of NIS 100 million (equivalent to approximately US$ 29.1 million at the exchange rate prevailing as of June 30, 2014) in the event that IDBD consummates the sale of its interest in its subsidiary Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd. before December 31, 2014 and always provided that: (i) the sales price is not less than NIS 4,200 million (equivalent to approximately US$ 1,223.8 million at the exchange rate prevailing as of June 30, 2014); and (ii) the closing of the transaction occurs before June 30, 2015, with IDBD having received by this last date a payment of not less than NIS 1,344 million (gross) (equivalent to approximately US$ 391.6 million).
On May 12, 2014, IDBD’s shares became listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, Israel. Consequently, all the shares (including the pledged shares) were deposited in escrow with Bank Leumi Le-Israel as security in compliance with the lock-up provisions set forth in Chapter D of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Regulations which provide that initially listed shares may not be disposed of for a term of 18 months and allow the release of 2.5% per month beginning on the fourth month since the initial listing date.
Pursuant to the provisions of IDBD’s rights offering memorandum dated June 9, 2014, on June 26, 2014, 1,322,500 rights to subscribe for shares and warrants were granted by IDBD to Dolphin Netherlands at a ratio of 1 for every 40 shares held, which were exercised after year-end, on July 1, 2014. Later on, during IDBD’s rights issuance process, Dolphin Netherlands and ETH acquired 0.89 million additional rights for NIS 2.83 million, equivalent to approximately US$ 0.83 million, out of which 50% correspond to Dolphin Netherlands and 50% to ETH pursuant to the above mentioned agreement signed between them. These rights are recognized at their fair value and are recorded in the balance sheet in the line derivative financial instruments.
In July 2014, the rights offered by IDBD under the scope of the offering allowed to subscribe for 13 common shares of IDBD for a price of 65 NIS (5 NIS per share) and 27 warrants, 9 of each series (series 1, 2 and 3) to be issued by IDBD, at no cost. Each warrant issued by IDBD will allow to acquire one common share in IDBD. Series 1 matures on November 1, 2014 and is exercisable at 5.50 NIS per warrant. Series 2 matures on May 1, 2015 and is exercisable at 6 NIS per warrant. Series 3 matures on December 1, 2015 and is exercisable at 6.50 NIS per warrant.
As a result of the exercise of the rights received as mentioned above, consummated on July 1, 2014, Dolphin Netherlands received 17.32 million shares and 11.99 million warrants under Series 1, 2 and 3. ETH received the same number of rights and therefore acquired the same number of shares and warrants as Dolphin Netherlands. In addition, as a result of the exercise of the rights purchased, consummated on July 1, 2014, Dolphin Netherlands acquired 5.79 million shares and 4.01 million warrants under Series 1, 2 and 3. ETH also acquired the same number of shares and warrants as Dolphin Netherlands.
As a result of the IDBD’s rights offering, the number of pledged shares as security for IBDB’s tender offers assumed by Dolphin Netherlands was increased to an aggregate of 29,937,591. In addition, pursuant to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange regulations, 53,784,922 shares and 335,715 warrants under each of Series 1, 2 and 3 remained in escrow under the terms mentioned above.
After year-end, during the period from July 9 to July 14, 2014, Dolphin Netherlands acquired through transactions in the open market 0.42 million shares and 0.34 million additional Series 2 warrants for NIS 1.77 million, equivalent to approximately US$ 0.52 million. 50% of such shares and Series 2 warrants were sold to ETH pursuant to the provisions of the above mentioned agreement signed between the parties.
As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, Dolphin Netherlands held an aggregate of 76,620,163 shares, 15,998,787 Series 1 warrants, 16,170,392 Series 2 warrants and 15,998,787 Series 3 warrants of IDBD, resulting in an undiluted holding of 28.99% and a fully diluted holding of 31.37% in IDBD.
IDBD’s Board of Directors is composed of nine members, three of whom were appointed by Dolphin Netherlands, namely, Eduardo Elsztain, Alejandro Elsztain and Saúl Zang.
As DFL is a subsidiary that qualifies as a VCO under the exemption contained in IAS 28 mentioned in Note 2.3 (d), IRSA have valued its interest in IDBD at fair value with changes in the income statement.
Financial Transactions and Other:
Our interest in Banco Hipotecario S.A.
As of June 30, 2014, we held a 29.77% interest in Banco Hipotecario through IRSA, which represented 12.35% of IRSA’s consolidated assets as of such date. Established in 1886 by the Argentine government and privatized in 1999, Banco Hipotecario has historically been Argentina’s leading mortgage lender, provider of mortgage-related insurance and mortgage loan services. All of its operations and customers are located in Argentina where it operates a nationwide network of 59 branches and 17 sales offices. Additionally, its subsidiary Tarshop has 31 sales offices.
Banco Hipotecario is a full-service commercial bank offering a wide variety of banking activities and related financial services to individuals, small-and medium-sized companies and large corporations. As of June 30, 2014, Banco Hipotecario ranked eleventh in the Argentine financial system in terms of shareholders’ equity and thirteenth in terms of total assets. As of June 30, 2014, Banco Hipotecario’s shareholders’ equity was Ps. 4,205.3 million, its consolidated assets were Ps. 25,855.6 million, and its net income for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014 was Ps. 627.0 million. Since 1999, Banco Hipotecario’s common shares have been listed on the BASE in Argentina, and since 2006 it has had a Level I ADR program sponsored by Bank of New York Mellon.
Banco Hipotecario’s business strategy is focused on leveraging its financial position and developing a diversified banking business built on its existing mortgage franchise. Since its debt restructuring in 2004, it began to make progress in this diversification strategy, growing its lending business and developing new business lines, implementing integrated technological solutions to enable its entry into retail banking, extending its marketing network and creating back-office services to support its new operations.
As part of its business diversification strategy, Banco Hipotecario expanded its products offering personal loans, mortgages and asset-backed loans. It also expanded its corporate loan product offerings and implemented certain customer loyalty strategies. In response to the demand for time deposits and savings accounts, Banco Hipotecario expanded its deposit base offering personal checking accounts and launched the Visa Banco Hipotecario credit card which has steadily grown in terms of market penetration and transaction size. Banco Hipotecario also continued its strategy of expanding the offering of non-mortgage related insurance products, including life, unemployment, health, personal accident and ATM theft insurance.
Banco Hipotecario seeks to achieve a balanced portfolio of mortgage loans, consumer financing and corporate credit lines, while maintaining an adequate risk management policy. As of June 30, 2014, its portfolio of non-mortgage loans represented 85.8% of its total loan portfolio, compared to 81.0% as of June 30, 2013.
During the period ended June 30, 2014, Banco Hipotecario also experienced continued growth in deposits, including savings accounts and time deposits.
Competition
Substantially all of our office and other non-shopping center rentals are located in developed urban areas. There is a great number of office buildings, retail and residential premises in the areas where our properties are located. This is a highly fragmented market, and the abundance of comparable properties in our vicinity may adversely affect our ability to rent or sell office space and other real estate as well as the sale and rental price of the properties.
In the future, both national and foreign companies may participate in Argentina’s real estate development market, competing with us for business opportunities. Moreover, in the future we may participate in the development of real estate in foreign markets, potentially encountering well established competitors.
Shopping Centers
Because most of our shopping centers are located in highly populated areas, there are competing shopping centers within, or in close proximity to, our targeted areas. The number of shopping centers in a particular area could have a material effect on our ability to lease space in our shopping centers and on the amount of rent that we are able to charge. We believe that due to the limited availability of large plots of land and zoning restrictions in the City of Buenos Aires, it will be difficult for other companies to compete with us in areas through the development of new shopping center properties. Our principal competitor is Cencosud S.A. which owns and operates Unicenter shopping center and the Jumbo hypermarket chain, among others.

IRSA’s Regulation and Government Supervision of its Real Estate Business
Legal Framework:
Regulation and Governmental Supervision
The laws and regulations governing the acquisition and transfer of real estate, as well as municipal zoning ordinances and environmental regulations, among others, are applicable to the development and operation of our properties. Currently, Argentine law does not specifically regulate shopping center lease agreements. Since our shopping center leases generally differ from ordinary commercial leases, we have created standard provisions which govern the relationship with our shopping center tenants.
Leases
Argentine law imposes certain restrictions on property owners, including:
·
|
a prohibition to include price adjustment clauses based on inflation increases in lease agreements; and
|
·
|
the imposition of a three-year minimum lease term for retail property, except in the case of stands and/or spaces in markets and fairs.
|
Although our lease agreements were U.S. Dollar-denominated, Decree No. 214/2002, Decree No. 762/2002 and Law No. 25,820 that amended the Public Emergency Law, provided that monetary obligations in force as from January 7, 2002 arising from agreements governed by private law and which provided for payments in U.S. Dollars were subject to the following rules:
·
|
financial obligations were to be paid in Pesos at the exchange rate of Ps. 1.00 = US$1.00 plus the CER for commercial leases;
|
·
|
from October 1, 2002 and until March 31, 2004 for residential leases, the obligations where the tenant is an individual and the dwelling is used as the family residence of permanent use were to be paid in Pesos at the exchange rate of Ps. 1.00 = US$1.00 plus the CVS;
|
·
|
if due to the application of these provisions, the amount of the installment becomes higher or lower than the amount at the time of payment, any of the parties could require an equitable adjustment of the price. If the parties did not reach an agreement, the courts could decide on a case by case basis; and
|
·
|
pursuant to Decree No. 117/2004 and Law No. 25,796 that amends Law No. 25,713, the CVS became unenforceable since April 1, 2004.
|
Under the Argentine Civil Code and Lease Law No. 23,091, lease terms may not exceed ten years, except for leases regulated by Law No. 25,248 (which provides that real estate leases containing purchase options–leasing inmobiliario- are not subject to term limitations). Generally, terms in our lease agreements go from 3 to 10 years.
Despite this restriction, in November 2007, the Court authorized APSA to enter into a lease agreement with Wal-Mart Argentina for a term of 30 years. This exception was authorized taking into consideration the size of the investment required and the time necessary to recoup this investment.
Lease Law No. 23,091, as amended by Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the first six months by sending a written notice at least 60 days before the intended termination date of the contract. Such rescission is subject to penalties which range from one to one and a half months of rent. If the tenant rescinds during the first year of the lease the penalty is one and a half month’s rent and if the rescission occurs after the first year of lease the penalty is one month’s rent.
While current Argentine government policy discourages government regulation of lease agreements, there can be no assurance that additional regulations will not be imposed in the future by the Argentine Congress, including regulations similar to those previously in place. Furthermore, most of our leases provide that the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to the property in proportion to their respective leasable areas. In the event of a significant increase in the amount of such costs and taxes, the Argentine government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby adversely affecting our rental income. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Procedure Code enables the lessor to pursue what is known as an “executory proceeding” upon lessees’ failure to pay rent. In executory proceedings debtors have fewer defenses available to prevent foreclosure, making these proceedings substantially shorter than ordinary ones. In executory proceedings the origin of the debt is not under discussion; the trial focuses on the debt instrument itself. The aforementioned code also permits special eviction proceedings, which are carried out in the same way as ordinary proceedings. The Argentine Civil Code enables judges to summon tenants who fall two months in arrears to vacate the property they are renting within 10 days of having received notice to such effect. However, historically, large court dockets and numerous procedural hurdles have resulted in significant delays to eviction proceedings, which generally last from six months to two years from the date of filing of the suit to the time of actual eviction.
Plot Development and Use
Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code. Our real estate activities are subject to several municipal zoning, building and environmental regulations. In the City of Buenos Aires, where the vast majority of our real estate properties are located, the City of Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code (Código de Planeamiento Urbano de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) generally restricts the density and use of property and controls physical features of improvements on property, such as height, design, set-back and overhang, consistent with the city’s urban landscape policy. The administrative agency in charge of the Urban Planning Code is the Secretary of Urban Planning of the City of Buenos Aires.
The City of Buenos Aires Building Code. The Buenos Aires Building Code (Código de Edificación de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) complements the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code and regulates the structural use and development of property in the City of Buenos Aires. The Buenos Aires Building Code requires builders and developers to file applications for building permits, including the submission to the Secretary of Work and Public Services (Secretaría de Obras y Servicios Públicos) of architectural plans for review, to assure compliance therewith.
All of our real estate properties are in material compliance with all relevant laws, ordinances and regulations.
Sales and Ownership
Real Estate Installment Sales Law. The Real Estate Installment Sales Law No. 14,005, as amended by Law No. 23,266 and Decree No. 2015/1985, imposes a series of requirements on contracts for the sale of subdivided real estate property regarding, for example, the sale price which is paid in installments and the deed, which is not conveyed until final payment of such price. The provisions of this law require, among other things:
·
|
The registration of the intention to sell the property in subdivided plots with the Real Estate Registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmueble) corresponding to the jurisdiction of the property. Registration will only be possible with regard to unencumbered property. Mortgaged property may only be registered where creditors agree to divide the debt in accordance with the subdivided plots. However, creditors may be judicially compelled to agree to the division.
|
·
|
The preliminary registration with the Real Estate Registry of the purchase instrument within 30 days of execution of the agreements.
|
Once the property is registered, the installment sale may not occur in a manner inconsistent with the Real Estate Installment Sales Act, unless seller registers its decision to desist from the sale in installments with the Real Estate Registry. In the event of a dispute over the title between the purchaser and third-party creditors of the seller, the installment purchaser who has duly registered the purchase instrument with the Real Estate Registry will obtain the deed to the plot. Further, the purchaser can demand conveyance of title after at least 25% of the purchase price has been paid, although the seller may demand a mortgage to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price.
After payment of 25% of the purchase price or the construction of improvements on the property equal to at least 50% of the property value, the Real Estate Installment Sales Act prohibits the rescission of the sales contract for failure by the purchaser to pay the balance of the purchase price. However, in such event the seller may take action under any mortgage on the property.
Consumer Protection Law. Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240, as amended, regulates several issues concerning the protection of consumers in the arrangement and execution of contracts. The Consumer Protection Law purports to prevent potential abuses deriving from the strong bargaining position of sellers of goods and services in a mass-market economy where standard form contracts are widespread. As a result, the Consumer Protection Law deems void and unenforceable certain contractual provisions in consumer contracts, including those which contain:
·
|
Guarantees and liability disclaimers;
|
·
|
a waiver of consumer rights;
|
·
|
an extension of seller rights; and
|
·
|
the shifting of the burden of proof against consumers.
|
In addition, the Consumer Protection Law imposes penalties ranging from fines to closing down of establishments in order to induce compliance from sellers.
The Consumer Protection Law defines consumers or users, as the individuals or legal entities that (i) acquire or use goods or services free of charge or for a price for their own final use and benefit or that of their family or social group, including the acquisition of rights on a time-share leasing, country club, or private cemetery, among others, (ii) though not being party to a consumer relationship, as a result thereof acquire or use goods or services for their own final use or that of their family or social group and (iii) are otherwise exposed to a consumer relationship.
In addition, the Consumer Protection Law defines the suppliers of goods and services as the individuals or legal entities, either public or private that in a professional way, even occasionally, produce, import, distribute or commercialize goods or supply services to consumers or users.
The Consumer Protection Law excludes the services supplied by professionals that require a college degree and registration in officially recognized professional organizations or by a governmental authority. However, this law regulates the advertisements that promote the services of such professionals.
The Consumer Protection Law determines that the information contained in the offer addressed to undetermined prospective consumers, binds the offeror during the period in which the offer takes place and until its public revocation. Further, it determines that specifications included in advertisements, announcements, prospectuses, circulars or other media bind the offeror and are considered part of the contract entered into by the consumer. On June 2005, Resolution No. 104/05, which complements the Consumer Protection Law, adopted Mercosur’s Resolution on which requires that those who engage in commerce over the Internet (e-business) to disclose in a precise and clear manner the characteristics of the products and/or services offered and the sale terms. Failure to comply with the terms of the offer is deemed an unjustified denial to sell and gives rise to sanctions.
On September 2014, a new Consumer Protection Law was passed by the Argentine Congress that stipulates the creation of new administrative and judicial proceedings dealing with this area of the Law. The statute, known as “System for the Resolution of Conflicts in Consumer Relationships”, was enacted as Law No. 26,993 on September 17, 2014. This new law creates a two-tier administrative proceeding and a set of courts dedicated to trial conflicts between consumers and producers.of goods and services. In order to present a claim, the amount of it must not exceed a a fixed amount equivalent to 55 minimun wages, which are determined by the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security. It is mandatory to file the claim first before the administrative agency. In case a settlement is not reached between the parties, the plaintiff is able to file the claim before a judge. Although the system is not operational yet, a considerable portion of the claims made against Alto Palermo will probably be resolved within this system.
Buildings Law. Buildings Law No. 19,724, as amended, sets forth a regime for the construction of buildings for subsequent subdivision into condominium (Propiedad Horizontal). Under this law, developers must inform potential purchasers of their intention to sell the building as a condominium, as well as of all sale conditions, and the size of each unit in relation to the whole building. The sale of these units is subject to subdivision approval and in order to be included in Buildings Law regime must be registered with the Real Estate Registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmueble). This law also states that, in the event that construction is not completed, all amounts already deposited must be repaid to the purchasers. All the parties involved are jointly and severally liable to reimburse all the amounts deposited or paid by purchasers. All the agreements executed with the purchasers shall be filed with the relevant Real Estate Registry.
Mortgage Regulation. The Argentine Civil Code regulates mortgages both as a contract and as a right over property. There are no special provisions in the Civil Code aimed at protecting mortgagors. Any agreement entered into by a mortgagor and a mortgagee at time of execution of the mortgage or prior to the default of the mortgagor allowing the mortgagee to recover the property without a public auction of the property will not be enforced by the courts as it is contrary to Argentine public policy.
Until the enactment of Trust Law No. 24,441, the only procedure available to collect unpaid amounts secured by a mortgage was a proceeding regulated by the Civil and Commercial Procedure Code. The heavy caseload on the courts that hear such matters usually delays the proceeding, which currently takes 1 to 2 years to be completed.
Title V of Trust Law No. 24,441 institutes a new procedure which may expedite collection of unpaid amounts secured by a mortgage. To be applicable, the new rules, which allow an out-of-court auction, need to be expressly agreed to by the parties in the mortgage contract.
Currently, we include in our mortgages a clause enabling the enforcement of Law No. 24,441. However, there can be no assurance that such collection provisions will accelerate the recovery of unpaid amounts under mortgage guarantees.
The Argentine Government has tried to avoid the massive foreclosure of mortgages since the 2001 crisis. The Public Emergency Law, as amended, established the suspension for the term of 270 days from the enactment of that law, of all the judicial or non-judicial enforcement procedures, including the enforcement of mortgages and pledges, regardless of their origin. On February 14, 2002, Law No. 25,563 amending the Bankruptcy Law (the “New Bankruptcy Law”) was enacted. Under the New Bankruptcy Law, certain bankruptcies and foreclosures (including foreclosures on mortgage loans) were suspended for a period of 180 days from the law’s effective date. Such period was extended for 180 additional days by Law No. 25,589 and afterwards for 90 additional days by Law No. 25,640 dated September 2002, expiring on February 2003.
On February 4, 2003, the Executive Branch enacted Decree No. 204/2003 creating a mediation proceeding, for a limited period of 90 days, to be conducted through the Legal Emergency Units (Unidades de Emergencias Legales) depending from the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security and the Ministry of Production. Such Emergency Legal Units shall intervene at the request of debtors or creditors in foreclosure cases.
The mediation procedure was voluntary and free. Proposals and negotiations made by the parties in the course of these proceedings are subject to the confidentiality of ordinary mediations. The mediation procedure in no case shall result in the suspension or interruption of the legal terms running in judicial or out-of-court foreclosure proceedings.
The Legal Emergency Units should try to approximate the parties’ proposals to reach an agreement enabling the debtor the performance of his obligations without lessening the creditor’s rights. The intervention of the Emergency Legal Units shall conclude with an agreement or with the impossibility of reaching such agreement. The Decree establishes that the conciliation proceeding shall be in force from the day of its publication in the Official Gazette and will have a term of 90 days.
On May 8, 2003, the Argentine Congress enacted Law No. 25,737 which suspended foreclosures for an additional period of 90 days, which ended in August 2003. In September 2003, several financial institutions voluntarily agreed not to foreclose on their mortgage loans. In November 2005, the Argentine congress enacted Law No. 26,062 that extended the foreclosures suspension for an additional 120 days period, which was extended for 90 days more by Law No. 26,084 and for 180 days more by Law No. 26,103. Pursuant to these successive extensions, foreclosure on mortgaged property was suspended until December 2006.
On November 6, 2003 Law No. 25,798 was enacted. It established a mechanism to reschedule debts resulting from unpaid mortgages, by creating a trust (financed by the Argentine Government) which would purchase the mortgage debts and reschedule the maturity date thereof. Financial institutions were afforded until June 22, 2004 to accept said terms. This law was partially modified by Law No. 25,908 (enacted on July 13, 2004) which included various conditions referring to the incorporation into this system of the mortgage loans that were in judicial or private execution proceedings. The parties to secured loan agreements were given a term to express their adhesion to this system. This term was extended twice first by Decree No. 352/2004 for a period of sixty days and then by Law No. 26,062 effective as of November 4, 2005, which extended the foreclosures suspension for an additional 120 days, which was again extended for 90 days more by Law No. 26,084 and for 180 days more by Law No. 26,103.
On November 8, 2006, Law No. 26,167 was enacted. It established a special proceeding to replace ordinary trials for the enforcement of some mortgage loans. These special proceedings give creditors ten days to inform the debtor of the amounts owed to them and agree with the debtor on the amount and terms of payment. In case the parties fail to reach an agreement, payment conditions are to be determined by the judge. Also, this law established the suspension of the execution of judicial judgments, judicial and out-of-court auctions, evictions and other proceedings related to the mortgage loans contemplated in this law.
Most mortgages executed by us provide that we are empowered to declare the anticipated expiration of the loan upon non-payment of an installment. This enables us to recover the unpaid amounts through the sale of the relevant property pursuant to the Civil and Commercial Procedure Code and Law No. 24,441.
Pursuant to Argentine law, fees and expenses related to collection procedures must be borne by the debtor, and the proceeds from any auction of the property may be used for the settlement of such obligation.
Although our mortgages are U.S. Dollar-denominated, Decree No. 214/2002 and Decree No. 762/2002 that amended the Public Emergency Law provide that monetary obligations in force as of January 7, 2002, resulting from agreements governed by private law and which provide for payments in U.S. Dollars are subject to the following rules:
·
|
Financial obligations were to be paid in Pesos at the exchange rate of Ps. 1.00 = US$1.00 plus the CER for commercial leases;
|
·
|
From October 1, 2002 and until March 31, 2004 for residential leases, the obligations where the tenant is an individual and the dwelling is used as the family residence of permanent use were to be paid in Pesos at the exchange rate of Ps. 1.00 = US$1.00 plus the CVS;
|
·
|
If due to the application of these provisions, the amount of the installment became higher or lower than the amount at the time of payment, any of the parties could require an equitable adjustment of the price. If the parties did not reach an agreement, the courts could decide on a case by case basis;
|
·
|
Pursuant to Decree No. 117/2004 and Law No. 25,796 that amends Law No. 25,713, the CVS became unenforceable since April 1, 2004.
|
Protection for the Disabled Law. The Protection for the Disabled Law No. 22,431, enacted on March 20, 1981, as amended, provides that in connection with the construction and renovation of buildings, obstructions to access must be eliminated in order to enable access by handicapped individuals. In the construction of public buildings, entrances, transit pathways and adequate facilities for mobility impaired individuals must be provided for.
Buildings constructed before the enforcement of the Protection for the Disabled Law must be adapted to provide accesses, transit pathways and adequate facilities for mobility-impaired individuals. Those pre-existing buildings, which due to their architectural design may not be adapted to the use by mobility-impaired individuals, are exempted from the fulfillment of these requirements. The Protection for the Disabled Law provides that residential buildings must ensure access by mobility impaired individuals to elevators and aisles.
Credit Card Law. Law No. 25,065, as amended by Law No. 26,010 and Law No. 26,361, governs different aspects of the business activity known as “credit cards’ system”. The regulations set forth minimum contractual terms and conditions and the approval thereof by the Argentine Secretariat of Industry, Commerce and Mining, as well as limitations on interest payable by users and retail stores’ commissions adhering to the system. The Credit Card Law is applied to both banking and non-banking cards, such as “Tarjeta Shopping”, issued by Tarshop. Pursuant Communication “A” 5477 of the Argentine Central Bank, loans granted through credit cards by entities which are not financial institutions, such as Tarshop, shall not exceed in more than the 25% of the monthly average of the interest rates publish by the Argentine Central Bank for loans to individuals without real guarantee.
Antitrust Law. Law No. 25,156, as amended, prevents trust practices and requires administrative authorization for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law constitute an economic concentration. According to this law, mergers, transfers of goodwill, acquisitions of property or rights over shares, capital or other convertible securities, or similar operations by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences a company, are considered as an economic concentration. Whenever an economic concentration involves a company or companies which exceed the accumulated sales volume of Ps. 200.0 million in Argentina; then the respective concentration should be submitted for approval to the Argentine Antitrust Authority. The request for approval may be filed, either prior to the transaction or within a week after its completion.
When a request for approval is filed, the Argentine Antitrust Authority may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) subject the transaction to the accomplishment of certain conditions, or (iii) reject the authorization.
The Antitrust Law provides that economic concentrations in which the transaction amount and the value of the assets absorbed, acquired, transferred or controlled in Argentina, do not exceed Ps. 20.0 million are exempted from the administrative authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the transactions effected during the prior 12-month period exceed in the aggregate Ps. 20.0 million or Ps. 60.0 million during the last 36 months, these transactions must be notified to the Argentine Antitrust Authority.
As the consolidated annual sales volume of APSA and ours exceed Ps. 200.0 million, we should give notice to the Argentine Antitrust Authority of any concentration provided for by the Antitrust Law.
Environmental Law. Our activities are subject to a number of national, provincial and municipal environmental provisions. Section 41 of the Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, provides that all Argentine inhabitants have the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development and have the duty to preserve it. Environmental damage shall bring about primarily the obligation to restore it as provided by applicable law. The authorities shall control the protection of this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of biodiversity, and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The National Government shall establish minimum standards for environmental protection whereas Provincial and Municipal Governments shall fix specific standards and regulatory provisions.
On November 6, 2009, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675. Such law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and fixes environmental policy goals.
Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, such Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and mainly provides for restoration of the environment to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, for payment of compensation in lieu thereof. Such Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum reporting obligations to be fulfilled by natural and legal entities.
Besides, the CNV Standards require that the CNV be informed of any events or fortuitous developments that significantly hinder or are expected to hinder the development of the company’s activities, including events that affect or could affect the environment, specifying their consequences.
One of IRSA’s goals is that business be conducted at all times consistently with environmental laws and regulations.
For more information see Item 3 "Key Information – D. Risk Factors - IRSA’s business is subject to extensive regulation and additional regulations may be imposed in the future."
New Civil and Commercial Code. Recently Law No. 26,994 was enacted pursuant to which it was approved the new Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina. The new Civil and Commercial Code provides the background regulation of the relationships between individuals and entities. The new Civil and Commercial Code will enter into force on January 1, 2016. We are currently in the process of analyzing together with our legal advisors the impact of this new legislation in the operations of our business.

Insurance
Agricultural Business
We carry insurance policies with insurance companies that we consider to be financially sound.
We employ multi-risk insurance for our farming facilities and industrial properties, which covers property damage, negligence liability, fire, falls, collapse, lightning and gas explosion, electrical and water damages, theft, and business interruption.
Such insurance policies have specifications, limits and deductibles which we believe are customary. Nevertheless, they do not cover damages to our crops.
We carry directors and officer’s insurance covering management’s civil liability, as well as legally mandated insurance, including employee personal injury.
We also provide life or disability insurance for our employees as benefits.
We believe our insurance policies are adequate to protect us against the risks for which we are covered. Nevertheless, some potential losses are not covered by insurance and certain kinds of insurance coverage may become prohibitively expensive.
The types of insurance used by us are the following:

IRSA carries insurance policies with insurance companies that it considers to be financially sound. IRSA purchases multiple peril insurance for the shopping centers covering fire and negligence liability, electrical or water damages, theft and business interruption. IRSA has submitted a limited number of claim reports under the shopping center insurance, including a claim for a reported loss caused by fire in Alto Avellaneda Shopping on March 5, 2006 and, as of this date IRSA has been able to recover substantially all such claims from the insurance companies.
In our Sales and Developments segment, IRSA only maintains insurance when it retains ownership of the land under development or when IRSA develops the property itself. The liability and fire insurance policies cover potential risks such as property damage, business interruption, fire, falls, collapse, lightning and gas explosion. Such insurance policies contain specifications, limits and deductibles which we believe are customary. IRSA maintains insurance policies for the properties after the end of construction only if it retains ownership, primarily in the Offices and Other Properties segment.
IRSA carries insurance for directors and officers covering management's civil liability, as well as legally mandated insurance, including employee personal injury. IRSA does not provide life or disability insurance for its employees as benefits. IRSA believes its insurance policies are adequate to protect it against the risks for which it is covered. Nevertheless, no assurances can be given that the insurance amount purchased by IRSA will be enough to protect itself from significant losses. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to IRSA’s Business.” Some potential losses are not covered by insurance, and certain kinds of insurance coverage may become prohibitively expensive.
Item 4. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 5. Operating financial review and prospects
A. CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
The following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements include such words as, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including without limitation those set forth elsewhere in this annual report. See Item 3 “Key Information – D. Risk Factors” for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to us.
For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, unless otherwise specified, references to fiscal years 2014 and 2013 relate to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
For a discussion of results of operations of IRSA and to assist in understanding changes in the Investment and development properties business, please see “Item 5 Operating and financial review and prospects”in IRSA's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2014 which is publicly available on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). The discussion and analysis of IRSA is for the full annual periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to June 30, 2013.
The management's discussion and analysis of IRSA’s operating financial review and prospects included in IRSA's 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is included only on a supplemental basis.
We maintain our accounting books and records in Pesos. Our audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies based on the IFRS issued by the IASB and the interpretations issued by the IFRIC applicable as of such date.
For more information plase see Note 41 to our audited consolidated financial statements, “Foreign currency assets and liabilities”.
Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenues primarily from:
(i) the production and sale of crops, sugarcane, cattle and dairy,
(ii) cattle feedlot operations,
(iii) leasing of our farmlands from third parties;
(iv) commodity brokerage activities; and
(v) through the consolidation of our financial statements with IRSA's, we record revenue from the rental and operation of services at offices and shopping centers in Argentina, the development and sale of properties, consumer finance transactions, and hotel operations.
Revenues from sales of goods are recognized when: (a) any significant risks and rewards of ownership of such goods have been transferred; (b) the entity is no longer related to the management of the assets sold and neither does the entity retain control over them; (c) the amount of the revenues and costs associated with the transaction can be reliably measured; and (d) there is a likelihood that the entity will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction.
The revenues arising from the supply of services are recognized when (a) the amount of the revenues and costs associated with the services can be reliably measured; (b) there is a likelihood that the entity will receive the economic benefits associated with the transaction, and (c) the degree of progress of the service can be reliably measured.
Agricultural business
The revenues from the agriculture and livestock business activities originate mainly in sales of both agricultural and livestock products and biological assets, in the supply of different services related to agribusiness and in the lease of agricultural land.
Revenues from sales are accounted for when the agricultural products or the biological assets are delivered and the customers acquire ownership and assume the associated risks, all of which habitually happens when the products are either received, or directly picked up by customers, the collection of receivables is likely and the value of revenues may be reliably measured. Net sales of agricultural products represent the amount billed, net of discounts and bonuses, if any.
Besides, there is the supply of different services associated with the agricultural and livestock breeding business (including, though not limited to, irrigation and feedlot services) as well as brokerage services. Revenues from services are accounted for when the services are rendered.
We also lease land to third parties in the framework of operating leases. Revenues from leases are accounted for using the straight-line method throughout the lease period.
Urban Properties and Investments Business
Our revenues derive basically from leasing and operating space at offices and shopping centers in Argentina, developing and selling properties, financing consumption and operating hotels. This section reflects our policies concerning revenue recognition as well as the policies of our subsidiaries, both those in which we have a controlling stake and those in which we have joint control.
Sales and Developments
Revenues from the development and sales of real estate include mainly the revenues from the sale of properties held for sale. The revenues from the sale of real estate are booked when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. This usually happens when the purchase and sale deeds are signed and when the transaction is not subject to conditions (except when the expectation is that the payment or completion will significantly occur after such exchange). When sales are subject to conditions, it is only when the conditions are satisfied that the sales are booked.
We apply the IFRIC 15 “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate'”. The IFRIC 15 lays down the guidelines to decide which standard to apply when accounting for the construction of real estate, that is the IAS 11 “Construction Contracts ” or the IAS 18 “Revenue”. IFRIC 15 interprets that an agreement satisfies the requirements to be considered a construction contract under IAS 11 when the buyer is in a position to specify the main structural elements of the design of the property before or during the works. Besides, IFRIC 15 interprets that an agreement is for the sale of goods within the scope of IAS 18 when the construction works is conducted independently from the agreement and the buyer only has limited influence on the design. The Company analyzed the nature of its agreements and determined that they fall within the scope of IAS 18. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenues associated with the sale of residential homes and commercial units when the legal conveyance takes place according to IAS 18.
We also generally conduct barter transactions where we exchange plots of land for properties to be built on them with third-party developers for future units that are an integral part of the planned buildings. At times, the Company also receives cash as a part of the transaction. The title deed to the plots of land that are bartered, together with the risks and rewards associated with them, are transferred to the developer at the time of the sale. The Company generally demands that the developer should post surety bonds or raise mortgages over the plot of land in favor of the Company to guarantee performance. If the developer does not meet his duties, the Company forecloses on the mortgage or demands compensation on the surety bond, together with a cash penalty.
The Company determines that its barters are in a commercial nature and that the conditions for recognizing income from the transfer of the plots have been satisfied at the time of execution of the barter transaction. Revenues are recognized at the fair value of the property delivered, adjusted by the cash amount received, if any. In exchange for the land assigned, the Company receives cash, if any, and a receivable in kind. Such receivable in kind is initially recognized at fair value but it is not adjusted in subsequent fiscal years. The receivable in kind is classified as Property held for sale in the financial statements.
The Company may sell residential units to third-party buyers once they are finished and have been transferred by the developer. In these cases, the revenues from these transactions are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been actually transferred to the buyer. This normally happens when the title deed to the property is drawn up.
However, the Company may start to sell the residential units during the construction period or even before the construction period starts. In these cases, buyers generally make an initial payment to the Company, with the outstanding balance being paid at the time when the unit sold to the buyer is actually delivered. In these cases, it is only when the units have been transferred to the buyers and the title deeds are signed, in other words, at the time of the legal closing, that the revenues from these sales are booked. And the reason for this is that in the event of the developer failing to complete the residential units, and thus, failing to deliver them to the buyer, the Company will be contractually bound to reimburse the buyer for any initial payment received plus a fine. The Company may then institute legal proceedings against the developer on grounds of defaulting on the agreement. The Company considers that the most significant risk associated with the asset held by the Company (that is, the right to receive the units) is non-performance by the developer (that is, failure to complete the construction of the units) which risk is not been transferred to the buyers at the moment when the initial payment is received.
Office buildings and other leases and services
Revenues from office and other property rentals include mainly the revenues from office rentals in the form of operating leases, revenues from services and the expenses recovered from lessees.
Revenues from the rental of offices and other properties assigned in lease under operating leases are recognized in the statement of income using the straight-line method for the duration of such operating leases. When incentives are conferred, these are accounted for as a part of consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized by application of the straight-line method.
Contingent leases are booked as income in the periods in which they are collected. Rental increases are booked when they are agreed upon with the lessees.
Lease agreements also stipulate that the common area maintenance expenses associated with the Company’s buildings and other rental properties are to be borne by the lessees, generally in a percentage proportion. Common area maintenance expenses comprise all those expenses that are necessary or advisable to operate, maintain, manage, safeguard, preserve, repair, supervise, cover with insurance and perfect the Company’s rental buildings and properties. It is the Company who carries out management functions over its rental properties. The Company assumes responsibility for initially paying these expenses, which are subsequently recovered from lessees. The Company considers that it acts as principal in these cases. Revenues for these items are recognized when the services are supplied and are included within revenues from rentals and services, though separate from common area maintenance expenses. These expenses are charged to the statement of income as soon as they are incurred.
Shopping center leases and services
The revenues derived from the businesses conducted in the Company’s shopping centers mainly comprise revenues from retail store rentals in the form of operating leases, admission fees, commissions and revenues from the different services rendered to the Company’s lessees.
Pursuant to the Argentine Law No. 23,091, as amended by Law No, 24,808, the “Law of Leases”, all lease agreements within its scope can be cancelled. Pursuant to the Law of Leases, no lease can be terminated during the first six months of the agreement, and once this term has expired, lessees are entitled to cancel their leases at any time subject to a previous notice served on the lessors. The payments for cancellation prescribed by the law to compensate lessors are equivalent to a month and a half’s rental if the agreement is terminated during the first year of the lease and a month’s rental if they are terminated after the first year.
The Company analyzed the definition of the lease term under IAS 17, which lays down that a noncancellable lease is a lease that can be cancelled only (a) in the event of any remote contingency, (b) when the lessor has given permission, (c) if the lessee enters into a new lease with the same lessor, or (d) when the lessee pays an additional amount at the inception of the lease that results in assuming that lease continuity is reasonably certain.
The Company has determined that in all operating leases, the term of the lease for accounting purposes coincides with the lease term. The Company concluded that in spite of the ability to cancel leases contemplated by the law, lessees would incur significant economic penalties and other setbacks if their leases were cancelled prior to their expiration dates. The Company considers that the scope of these setbacks is such that lease continuity on the part of lessees is reasonably certain at the inception of the lease. The Company drew this conclusion in view of factors such as (i) the strategic geographical location of the Company’s investment properties; (ii) the characteristics of lessees (most of whom are locally and internationally renowned chain stores), (iii) the limited availability of similar spaces in areas where the Company has its investment properties; (iv) lessees’ brand images and other competition-related aspects; (v) the significant expenses incurred by lessees to renew, maintain and improve the spaces rented for them to reflect the lessee’s own image; and (vi) that most of the Company’s lessees only have shopping center outlets with only a few, or sometimes without, stores at the street level.
Lessees at shopping centers are generally bound to pay a lease that consists in the highest of: (i) a basic monthly rental (the "Base Rent"), and (ii) a specific percentage of monthly gross retail sales of the lessee (the "Percentage Rent") (which generally ranges from 4% to 10% of gross sales of the lessee). In addition, pursuant to the rental indexation clause in most leases, the lessee's Base Rent is generally increased between 7% and 12% per year during the term of the lease.
Besides, certain lease agreements include provisions that set forth variable rentals based on specific sales volumes or some other type of index.
The revenues derived from rentals of stores and other spaces in shopping centers in the form of operating leases with scheduled rental increases are recognized on a straight-tine basis over the term of those leases. Any incentives conferred by the Company to the lessees, if any, are recognized as reductions in the revenues from rentals on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Contingent rentals, that is, the rentals whose prices are not pre-established and may not be determined at the inception of the lease, are recognized as revenues in the periods in which they are known and can be determined. The increases in rentals are accounted for at the time they are agreed upon with the lessees.
Lessees at the Company’s shopping centers generally pay a non-reimbursable admission fee at the time they sign a lease agreement or when they renew an existing agreement. These admission fees are considered as additional revenues from rentals and are recognized in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease agreements.
The Company also acts as a real estate broker in negotiating and entering into the lease agreements for its shopping centers: it therefore receives commissions when acting in such capacity. A transaction is deemed to have been successful when both parties have signed the respective lease agreement. Commissions are considered to be additional revenues from rentals and are recognized in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease agreement.
Lease agreements also stipulate that the common area maintenance expenses associated with the Company’s shopping centers are to be borne by the lessees, generally in a percentage proportion. Common area maintenance expenses comprise all those expenses that are necessary or advisable to operate, maintain, manage, safeguard, preserve, repair, supervise, cover with insurance and perfect the Company’s shopping centers. It is the lessor who determines whether it is necessary or advisable to incur a given common area maintenance expense. The Company assumes responsibility for initially paying these expenses, which are subsequently recovered from lessees. The Company considers that it acts as principal in these cases.
Revenues for these items are included within revenues from rentals and services, though separate from common area maintenance expenses. These expenses are charged to the statement of income as soon as they are incurred.
Pursuant to the lease agreements, lessees are also obligated to participate in Common Advertising Funds (“FPC”) aimed at providing for the Company’s advertising and promotional activities. Participation in these funds generally comprises a percentage calculated over the lease prices accrued every month. Revenues for these items are equally included within revenues from rentals and services, though separate from advertising and promotional expenses. These expenses are charged to the statement of income as soon as they are incurred.
Besides, revenues from shopping centers also include revenues from management and other services, such as parking lots. These revenues are recognized in profit and loss for the year when the services are rendered.
Hotels
Revenues from hotel operations include mainly room services, catering and other services. Revenues from the sale of products at hotels are accounted for when the products are delivered and any significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer. Any revenues derived from sales of services are recognized at the time of rendering the service. All other revenues are booked on an accrual basis.
Segment Reporting
IFRS 8 mandates that entities should present financial and detailed information on its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity over which there is separately available financial information that is reviewed regularly by the Company’s Executive Committee (the Company's chief operating decision maker when it comes to day-to-day decisions, without prejudice to the powers and duties of the board of directors in its role as the Company’s management body) to make decisions about how to allocate resources and assess segment performance. The Executive Committee evaluates the businesses based on the differences in the nature of their products, operations and risks. The amount reported for each segment item is the measurement relayed to the Executive Committee and subsequently reported to the highest-ranking decision maker in the Company’s management, that is, the Board of Directors, to this end. The actions taken by the board of directors are then evaluated by the Shareholders’ Meeting in its role as the Company’s governance body.
Any operating segments identified are presented as reportable segments if any of the following quantitative thresholds are reached:
·
|
its reported revenue, from both external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10 per cent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments; or
|
·
|
the absolute measure of its reported profit or loss is 10 per cent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of
|
·
|
the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and
|
·
|
the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss;
|
·
|
or its assets are 10 per cent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments
|
Additionally, any operating segments that do not reach any of the preceding quantitative thresholds could be considered to be reportable segments if the Company’s Management estimates that said information could be useful to the users of its financial statements.
If, having determined reportable segments in accordance with the preceding quantitative thresholds, the total external revenues attributable to these segments total less than 75% of the Company’s total consolidated external revenues, additional segments will be identified as reportable segments even when the preceding quantitative thresholds are not reached up and until at least 75% of the Company’s total consolidated external revenues are included in the reportable segments. Once 75% of the Company’s total consolidated external revenues are included as reportable segments, the rest of the operating segments are included in the column “Other”.
Segment-based reports have been prepared and classified in accordance with the different types of businesses in which the Company conducts activities.
Agricultural business
We are primarily engaged in agricultural operations which are subject to risk, including market prices, weather conditions and environmental concerns. From time to time, we sell properties to profit from real estate appreciation opportunities and which, in the judgment of management, are surplus to the Company’s primary operations.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our principal operations were carried out in Argentina, our country of domicile, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay.
We conduct business in eight business segments, organized primarily on a product line and geographical area basis, with each segment offering a variety of different but interrelated products:
Crops
This segment includes activities related to planting, harvesting and sale of cereals such as wheat, corn, soybean, cotton and sunflower. The Company is focused on the long-term yield of the land, seeking to maximize its use by means of crop rotation and the use of different technologies and techniques. In this way, the type and quantity of grains that are harvested varies from one farming season to another.
Cattle
This segment consists of the purchase and/or fattening of cattle herds in natural pastures for sale to meat packing plants and local cattle markets.
Dairy
This segment consists of the breeding and/or purchase of milking cows for the production of milk for sale to local producers of milk and dairy products.
Sugarcane
This segment consists in the planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane.
Agricultural Rentals and Services
This segment includes the provision of agricultural services (for example, irrigation) and the lease of farmlands owned by the Company to third parties.
Sale and Transformation of Lands
This segment comprises the results generated by the sale of farmlands and land development activities.
Agro-industrial Activites
This segment consists in the fattening of cattle in feedlots and the slaughtering and processing of beef in meat packing plants. Feedlot cattle breeding requires specific care and diets that differ from those applicable to natural grass-fed cattle breeding. This activity represents a distinct operating segment due to the special features of the feedlot system and industrialized beef processing in meat packing plants.
Other segments
This segment includes the remaining operating segments that do not reach the quantity thresholds required for individual disclosure and comprises, inter alia, brokerage services and sales of supplies.
Urban Properties and Investments Business
We have determined that the reportable business units are those based on management information generated by the Company. Consequently, we have six reportable business units. These units are: "Shopping Centers", "Offices and Others”, "Sales and Developments", "Hotels", “International” and "Financial Transactions and Other".
Below is a general description of each segment:
Shopping Centers
This segment includes the results from the activities related to the commercial operation and development of shopping centers, originated mainly in the lease of and provision of lease-related services to retail stores and other spaces in the Company’s shopping centers.
Offices and Others
This segment includes mainly the Company’s operating results from the lease of office spaces and the supply of services related to this activity.
Sales and Developments
This segment includes both the results from the sale of land reserves and/or real properties for sale and the results originated in their development and maintenance.
Hotels
This segment comprises the activities developed by the Company’s hotels, primarily composed of revenue from accommodation, catering services and restaurants.
International
This segment includes the results from investments in equity investees that operate mainly in the United States, related to the lease of office buildings and hotels in such country.
Financial Transactions and Other
This segment includes the income or loss generated by our associates Banco Hipotecario and Tarshop and the residual financial operations from our subsidiary Apsamedia. Banco Hipotecario 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. Banco Hipotecario’s shares are listed on the BASE. Both Tarshop’s and Apsamedia’s operations consist primarily of lending and servicing activities related to the credit card and personal loan products offered to consumers at retail revenues.

Factors that Affect our Results
Effects of the Argentine macroeconomic environment
Most of our assets are located in Argentina, where we conduct our operations. Therefore, our financial condition and the results of our operations are significantly dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in Argentina.
Changes in short- and long-term interest rates, unemployment and inflation may reduce the availability of consumer credit and the purchasing power of individuals who frequent shopping centers. These factors, combined with low GDP growth, may reduce general consumption rates in our shopping centers. Since most of the lease agreements in our shopping centers, our main source of revenue, require tenants to pay a percentage of their total sales as rent, a general reduction in consumption may reduce our revenue. A reduction in the number of shoppers in our shopping centers and consequently, in the demand for parking, may also reduce our revenues from services rendered.
Effects of inflation
From 1997 until the end of year 2001, the Argentine government’s policies substantially reduced the level of inflation. Therefore, during that period inflation did not significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations. The following are annual inflation rates since 2002, published by the Argentine Ministry of Economy and Production:

Since January 2014, the Argentine government established the IPCNu which more broadly reflects consumer prices by considering price information from the 24 provinces of the country. Therefore, the consumer price index for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 only takes notice of the six month period after the new consumer price index was introduced.
|
The increase in inflation may erode our present macroeconomic stability, causing a negative impact on our operations. The wholesale price index increased by 27,7 % in the fiscal year 2014, and the IPCNu for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 increased 15%.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB, and the accounting policies employed are set out in our Company’s Accounting Policies section in the financial statements. In applying these policies, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The actual outcome could differ from those estimates. Some of these policies require a high level of judgment because the areas are especially subjective or complex.
The discussion below should also be read in conjunction with our disclosure of significant IFRSs accounting policies, included in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements, “Summary of significant accounting policies”.
We believe that the most critical accounting policies and significant areas of judgment and estimation are in:

Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

Allowance for trade receivables
|
§
|
Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets

Business combinations – purchase price allocation
We account for the acquisition of subsidiaries using the acquisition method. Accounting for business combinations requires us the determination of the fair value of the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business. We use all available information to make these fair value determinations, and for major acquisitions, may hire an independent appraisal firm to assist us in making these fair value estimates. In some instances, assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset might have to be used in determining its fair value.
Actual timing and amount of net cash flows from revenues and expenses related to that asset over time may differ materially from those initial estimates, and if the timing is delayed significantly or if the net cash flows decline significantly, the asset could become impaired. The amount of goodwill initially recognized as a result of a business combination is dependent on the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Allocation of the purchase price affects our results as any identified finite lived intangible assets are amortized, whereas indefinite lived intangible assets, including goodwill, are not amortized and could result in differing amortization charges based on the allocation to indefinite lived and finite lived intangible assets.
Upon our transition to IFRS we elected not to apply IFRS 3, “Business combinations”, retrospectively as the difficulty in applying these requirements to the large number of business combinations we completed from incorporation through to transition date exceeded any potential benefits. Therefore, business combinations occurred prior to transition date have not been restated.
Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments
The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. We use our judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at statement of financial position. When no quoted prices in an active market are available, fair values (particularly with derivatives) are based on recognized valuation methods.We use a range of valuation models for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments, details of which may be obtained from the following table:

Allowance for trade receivables
We maintain an allowance for trade receivables to account for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. When evaluating the adequacy of an allowance for trade receivables, we base our estimates on the aging of accounts receivable balances and historical write-off experience, customer credit worthiness and changes in customer payment terms.
If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, actual write-offs might be higher than expected.
Taxation
We are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Our tax charge on ordinary activities is the sum of the total current and deferred tax charges. The calculation of the Company’s total tax charge necessarily involves a degree of estimation and judgment in respect of certain items whose tax treatment may not be always determined with certainty due to interpretation. The final resolution of some of these items may give rise to material profits, losses and/or cash flows. The complexity of our structure makes the estimation and judgment more challenging. The resolution of issues may not always be within our control and may depend on the efficiency of legal action, if necessary. Issues can, and often do, take many years to resolve. Payments in respect of tax liabilities for an accounting period result from payments on account and on the final resolution of open items. As a result there can be substantial differences between the tax charge in the consolidated income statement and tax payments.
We recognize deferred tax assets only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. We assess the realizability of deferred tax assets by considering whether it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
The amounts recognized in our audited consolidated financial statements in respect of each matter are derived from our best estimate and judgment as described in Note 5 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Trading properties
Trading properties include land and work in progress in respect of development sites with a view to sale. Trading properties are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. On each development, judgment is required to assess whether the cost of land and any associated construction work in progress is in excess of its net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to completion and estimated selling costs.
The estimation of the net realizable value of our trading properties under development is inherently subjective due to a number of factors, including their complexity, unusually large size, the substantial expenditure required and long timescales to completion. In addition, as a result of these timescales to completion, the plans associated with these developments could be subject to significant variation. As a result, the net realizable values of our trading properties are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate.
If actual results differ from the assumptions upon which the external valuer has based its valuation, this may have an impact on the net realizable value of our trading properties, which would in turn have an effect on our financial condition.
Impairment testing of goodwill and non-current assets other than goodwill
IFRS requires us to undertake an annual test for impairment of indefinite lived assets and, for finite lived assets, to test for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment testing is an area involving management judgment, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows derived from such assets using cash flow projections which have been discounted at an appropriate rate. In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows, we are required to make certain assumptions in respect of highly uncertain matters including management’s expectations of estimates of future cash flows, market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and discount rates.
For purposes of the impairment testing, we group assets at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows, known as cash generating units or CGUs. Given the nature of our assets and activities, most of our individual assets do not generate independent cash flows that are independent of those from CGUs. Therefore, we estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs, except where the fair value less costs to sell of the individual asset is higher than its book value; or the value in use of the asset can be estimated as being close to its fair value less costs to sell, where fair value can be reliably determined.
Generally, we consider each shopping center, office building, hotel and undeveloped property within our, shopping centers properties, offices, sales and developments, hotels, international and financial operations and others activities as a separate CGU. On the other hand, to the extent permitted by nature conditions of the soil and technology, we may use our farmland can for different agricultural activities that may generate independent cash flows from each other or within one single farmland. When we use farmland for single activities (i.e. crops), we consider it as one CGU.
Otherwise, when we use a same farmland for more than one activity (i.e. crops and cattle), we further subdivide it into two or more CGUs, as appropriate, for purposes of impairment testing.
We determine the fair value less costs-to-sell of farmland properties using the sales comparison approach. The sales comparison approach is based on the theory that the fair value of a property is directly related to the selling prices of similar properties. The fair value is the amount of money we would realize if sold at arm’s length by a willing seller to a willing buyer. Prices of comparable properties nearby are used, which are adjusted due to differences in its size and condition. The most significant input in the valuation is the price per square meter determined by extensive analysis where farmland values are based on each land’s productive capability and other factors such as climate and location including soil properties.
Further details of the methods, estimates and assumptions we make in our annual impairment testing of goodwill are included in Note 6 in the Consolidated Financial Statements. No impairment of goodwill was identified.
Biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest
We measure biological assets, which include unharvested crops, beef and dairy cattle, sheep, and sugarcane plantations (at initial recognition, when the biological asset has attained significant biological growth, and at each subsequent measurement reporting date) and agricultural produce, which include harvested crop, raw meat, raw milk, wool and harvested sugarcane, among others, at fair value less costs to sell. We measure biological assets that have not attained significant biological growth or when the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material, at cost less any impairment losses, which approximates fair value.
In determining the point in time at which our biological assets attain significant biological growth, and therefore, a fair value model is used, we are required to make certain significant assumptions in respect of highly uncertain matters. We generally use agronomical studies and other inputs and the corresponding agricultural produce obtained as a basis to determine these points in time. Details of the assumptions we make in our determination of significant biological growth are included in Note 6 of our audited consolidated financial statements.
When an active market exists for biological assets, we use the quoted market price in the most relevant market as a basis to determine the fair value of our biological assets, as in the case of cattle. For other biological assets where there is neither an active market nor market-determined prices during the growth cycle, we determine their fair value through the use of discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation.
Therefore, we generally derive the fair value of our growing biological assets from the expected cash flows of the related agricultural produce. The DCF method requires us to populate the models with highly subjective assumptions, including observable and unobservable inputs. The models we use to estimate the fair value of our biological assets are generally based on data not observable in the market, and the use of unobservable inputs is significant to the overall valuation of the assets. The unobservable inputs we use are generally determined based on the best information available, for example, by reference to historical information regarding past practices and results, statistical and agronomical information and other analytical techniques. Changes in the assumptions underlying such subjective inputs can materially affect our fair value estimates and impact our results of operations and financial condition from period to period. In contrast to biological assets whose fair value is generally determined using the DCF method, we typically determine the fair value of our agricultural produce at the point of harvest using market prices.
The key assumptions used in our models include market prices, estimated yields, and estimated costs, discount rates and others.
The market prices used in our DCF models are determined by reference to observable data in the relevant market for specific crops. We estimate our harvesting costs and other costs based on historical and statistical data. We estimate yields based on several factors, including the location of the farmland, soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of our control, including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other diseases. Discount rates reflect current market assessments of the assets involved and the time value of money.
All of these assumptions are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices, costs and discount factors used may result in a significant increase or decrease to the fair value of biological assets recognized at any given time. Cash flows are projected based on estimated production. Estimates of production in themselves are dependent on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact on estimated production, and could therefore affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value. The valuation models and their assumptions are reviewed annually, or quarterly if warranted, and, if necessary, adjusted.
Further details on valuation methods, sensitivity analysis and other factors is included in Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Business Segment Information
We are required to disclose segment information in accordance with IFRS 8, which establishes that an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Such function is carried out by our Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, without prejudice of the powers and responsibilities of the management body, that is to say, the Board of Directors. Our current members of the Executive Committee are Mrs. Eduardo S. Elsztain, Saúl Zang and Alejandro G. Elsztain. The CODM evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its products, operations and risks. The amount reported for each segment item is the measure reported to the CODM for these purposes. In turn, the Board of Directors’ management is assessed by the Shareholders’ Meeting, which is the governance body.
We operate in two businesses areas, “Agricultural” and “Investment and Development Properties” businesses, as further described below.
We operate our Agricultural business through eight reportable segments, “Crops”, “Cattle”, “Milk”, “Sugarcane”, “Agricultural Rentals and Services”, “Land Transformation” and Sales”, “Agro-industrial” and “Others” as further described below:
·
|
Our “Crops” segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of crops including wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, and sunflower, which do not represent separate operating segments on an individual basis. We seek to maximize the use of our land through crop rotation, the use of technology and techniques, and the type and amount of crops cultivated may vary from one harvest year to another harvest year. In this way, we are focused on the long-term performance of our land, and to that extent, we assess the performance considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land.
|
·
|
Our “Cattle” segment consists of breeding, purchasing and/ or fattening of free-range cattle for sale to meat processors and local livestock auction markets.
|
·
|
Our “Dairy” segment consists of breeding and/ or purchasing dairy cows for the production of raw milk for sale to local milk and milk-related products producers.
|
·
|
Our “Sugarcane” segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane.
|
·
|
Our “Agricultural Rentals and Services” segment includes services, i.e. irrigation and farmland leases out to third parties.
|
·
|
Our “Land Transformation” and Sales” segment comprises the identification and acquisition of underdeveloped and undermanaged farmland property and the sale of farmland to profit from land value appreciation generated through the use of the land.
|
·
|
Our “Agro-industrial” segment consists of feedlot farming for slaughtering process in our own packing plant or for cattle finishing services to third parties. Feedlot farming is distinctive and requires specific care and diets, which differ from those, provided to free-range cattle. We assess this activity separately due to the distinctive characteristics of the cattle feedlot system and its integration with industrialized meat processing.
|
·
|
Our “Others” segment comprises the aggregation of the remaining operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure, mainly brokerage activities.
|
We operate our Investment and Development Properties business through six reportable segments, namely “Shopping Centers Properties”, “Office and Other Rentals”, “Development and Sale of Properties”, “Hotels”, “International” and “Financial Operations and Others” as further described below:
·
|
Our Shopping Centers Properties segment includes the operating results from our portfolio of shopping centers principally comprised of lease and service revenues related to rental of commercial space and other spaces in the shopping centers of the Company.
|
·
|
Our “Offices and Others” segment includes the operating results of our lease and service revenues of office space and other non-retail building properties principally comprised of lease and service revenue from tenants.
|
·
|
Our “Sales and Developments” segment includes the operating results of the sales of Undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties, as the results related with its development and maintenance.
|
·
|
Our “Hotels” segment includes the operating results of our hotels mainly comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.
|
·
|
Our “International” segment includes profit or loss on investments in subsidiaries and/or associates that mainly operate in the United States in relation to the lease of office buildings and hotels in that country, and the results arising from investment in IDBD at fair value.
|
·
|
Our “Financial Operations and Others” segment primarily includes the financial activities carried out by the associates Banco Hipotecario and Tarshop, and e-commerce activities carried out by the associate Avenida Inc., among others. Banco Hipotecario 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. Banco Hipotecario’s shares are listed on the BASE. Both Tarshop’s and Apsamedia’s operations consist primarily of lending and servicing activities related to the credit card and personal loan products offered to consumers at retail venues.

For summarized analysis of the lines of business for the year ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Please see the section Revenues by Business Segment for details.
In our Agricultural business, cattle, dairy and agro-industrial activities are mainly conducted in Argentina, crops activity is developed in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay, while that sugarcane activity is developed in Brazil and Bolivia.
Our shopping center properties are all located in Argentina. Substantially all of our office and other rental properties are located in Argentina, except for two office building properties located in the United States of America which are owned by our subsidiary and associates. Our hotel properties are located in Argentina and United States. Our development properties are located in Argentina and Uruguay.
The operating results of Joint ventures operations from Cresca, Cyrsa, NPSF, Canteras Natal Crespo S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A., Baicom Networks S.A. and Quality Invest are presented under the method of proportionate consolidation. Under this method, the income/loss generated by joint businesses is reported in the income statements line-by-line, rather than in a single item as required by IFRS. Management believes that the proportional consolidation method provides more useful information to understand the business return, because the assets and income/loss generated by consolidated operations are similar to the assets and income/loss booked under the equity method. This is due to the fact that under the proportional consolidation method, revenues and expenses are reported separately, instead of offsetting and reporting them as a single item in the statement of income.As a result, the proportionate format is what the CODM considers in assessing and understanding the performance and results of operations of the development property business as a whole. On the other hand, operating results of Entertainment Holding S.A. joint venture is accounted for under the equity method. Management believes that, in this case, this method provides more adequate information for this type of investment, given its low materiality and considering it is a company without direct trade operations, where the main assets consists of an indirect interest of 25% of la Rural S.A..
The CODM evaluates performance of business segments based on segment profit. The measurement principles for our segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the consolidated financial statements, except for our share of profit or loss of joint ventures as discussed in the segment tables above. Revenue generated and goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.
The following tables present a reconciliation between the total results of operations as shown in the section Revenues by Business Segment and the results of operations as per the statement of income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012. The adjustments relate to the presentation of the results of operations of the joint ventures on an equity-accounted basis for IFRS income statement purposes.

However, as indicated in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and for the years then ended, in the business segment reporting, the operating results of these joint ventures are presented by application of proportionate consolidation. This method presents the results of joint ventures in the Income statement line by line. The operating results of joint ventures are allocated to each business segment based on the nature of the operations that give rise to them.
In addition, the business segment reporting contemplates certain transactions between related parties that have been eliminated at the level of the Income statement but are, nonetheless, representative of genuine revenues and/or costs of each segment. These transactions include, mainly, leases of spaces and management fees.
Comparability of information:
During this fiscal year, Argentina’s Peso devalued against the U.S. Dollars and other currencies by approximately 51%, which causes an impact on the comparability of the figures disclosed in the financial statements stemming from exposure to the exchange rate, above all in our revenues from office rentals and our net assets and liabilities as detailed in Note 40, denominated in foreign currency; as well as the Income/(loss) from our International segment.
Shopping Centers Properties:
In August 2011, the Company acquired a 50% of the capital stock of NPSF, a joint venture that owns the “La Ribera Shopping” shopping center. However, neither the income/(loss) from this joint venture in the Income statement nor the proportionate consolidation of this joint venture in the business segment reporting within the Shopping Centers Properties segment were significant for the fiscal years presented.
Offices and Others :
On top of the effect of the above-mentioned devaluation, the revenues and costs from our Offices and Others segment, saw their comparability affected by partial sales of properties for rental allocated to that segment. In this respect, during the fiscal years 2014 and 2013, there were sales for 8,744 square meters of leasable surface area (approximately 6.2% of total leasable area at the beginning of the fiscal year), and 14,442 square meters of leasable surface area (approximately 9.4% of total leasable area at the beginning of the fiscal year), respectively.
Additionally, in November 2012, the Company acquired a 25% of the capital stock in La Rural (through our joint venture EHSA) which holds an usufruct agreement over the fairground in the City of Buenos Aires. However, the results of the interest accounted for under the equity method of this investment both in the Income statement and in the business segment reporting within the Offices and Others segment was not significant for the fiscal years presented and therefore, it had not quantitative effect on information comparability.
International:
When it comes to the International segment, information comparability is affected primarily by the above-mentioned devaluation and, though to a lesser extent, by the 12-month consolidation in the year 2014 compared to the 9-month consolidation in the year 2013 of the results of Rigby 183, the owner of the Madison 183 building allocated to rentals.
Financial Operations and Others:
The operating result of the Financial Operations and Others segment primarily reflects the residual consumer financing activities from APSAMedia (Metroshop’s surviving company and presently merged with APSA), which have been decreasing progressively in the fiscal years under discussion.
Additionally, as from fiscal 2014, this segment includes the income/(loss) from our ownership interest in Avenida Inc., acquired in this fiscal year. Through Avenida Compras, Avenida Inc. is primarily engaged in e-commerce. The result from our interest in Avenida Inc., both in the Income statement and in the business segment reporting was not significant and has therefore no quantitative effects on information comparability.

Total sales increased 31.12%, from Ps. 1,341.4 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,758.8 million in the fiscal year 2014. This was due to an increase of Ps. 71.8 million in the Crops segment, an increase of Ps. 15.1 million in the Dairy segment, an increase of Ps. 341.0 million in the Agro-industrial segment and an increase of Ps. 40.6 million in the Other segment, offset by a decrease of Ps. 12.8 million in the Cattle segment, a Ps. 36.4 million reduction in the Sugarcane segment and a Ps. 1.7 million reduction in the Agricultural Rentals and Services segment.
In turn, income from interests in our joint ventures increased 233.6% from Ps. 6.4 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 21.4 million in the fiscal year 2014, primarily as a result of a 348.8% increase of crops sold in Cresca, from Ps. 4.3 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 19.1 million in the fiscal year 2014.
By the same token, inter-segment revenues rose by 317.1%, up from Ps. 7.6 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 31.8 million in the fiscal year 2014, primarily owing to the cattle sales during the fiscal year to our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas that pass from Cattle segment to Agro-industrial segment.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures as well as inter-segment eliminations, revenues grew by 33.7% up from Ps. 1,355.4 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,812.1 million in the fiscal year 2014.
Crops
Sales from the Crops segment rose 9.6%, from Ps. 745.9 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 817.7 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 33.3% increase in average prices of crops sold, from Ps. 1,438 per ton in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,916 per ton in the fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
partially offset by a reduction of 92,135 tons in the volume of grains sold in the fiscal year 2014 compared to the previous fiscal year; and
|
·
|
a 2.8% reduction in production volume, from 354,898 tons in the fiscal year 2013 to 344,937 tons in the fiscal year 2014.

Cattle
Sales from the Cattle segment decreased 17.2%, from Ps. 74.5 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 61.7 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 18.6% increase in the average price per kilogram sold, from Ps. 8.6 in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 10.2 in the fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
a 8.6% reduction in the beef sales volume, from 9,323 tons in the fiscal year 2013 to 8,580 tons in the fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
a 9.3% reduction in the volume of beef production, from 7,593 tons in the fiscal year 2013 to 6,890 tons in the fiscal year 2014.
|
Dairy
Sales revenues from the Dairy segment increased 38.9%, from Ps. 38.8 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 53.9 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 33.6% increase in the average price of dairy, from Ps. 2.02 per liter in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2.70 per liter in fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
a 6.1% increase in the average number of dairying cows; and
|
·
|
a 5.1% increase in the volume of sales, from 17,871 liters in fiscal year 2013 to 18,787 liters in fiscal year 2014.
|
Sugarcane
Sales revenues from the Sugarcane segment decreased 22.7%, from Ps. 160.3 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 123.9 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
504,206 less tons of sugarcane sold in fiscal year 2014 as compared to the previous fiscal year, mainly by Brasilagro. The lower amount of tons of sugarcane sold during the fiscal year is explained by harvesting timing differences, as in the previous season it was concentrated from June to October 2012 and thus included the 11-12 and 12-13 harvests, while in the current season it was concentrated from April to September 2013; and
|
·
|
partially offset by a 36.76% increase in the average price of sugarcane sold, from Ps. 136 per ton in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 186 per ton in fiscal year 2014.
|
Agricultural Rentals and Services
Sales revenues from the Agricultural Rentals and Services segment decreased by 5.74%, from Ps. 30.8 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 29.0 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 39.3% reduction in leases, due to Cresud’s failure to renew several agreements, including Las Lajitas, Los Leones, Anta el dorado, Ancami and Ceiballito (for Ps. 9 million);
|
·
|
a 117.6% increase in revenues from production of seeds (Ps. 4.9 million) mainly due to the higher price of corn and soybean and to a lesser extent, the production volume; and
|
·
|
an increase of 24.6% in revenues from irrigation services originated by the impact of the exchange rate, showing an increase of Ps. 0.87 million and a rise of 20% in the milliliters sold as compared to fiscal year 2013.
|
Agro-industrial
Sales revenues from the Agro-industrial segment increased 164.1%, from Ps. 207.8 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 548.7 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
an 80% increase in slaughtering volumes and the differential resulting from the higher price of beef and sub-products; and
|
·
|
it should be noted that from November 2013 to February 2014 the produce slaughtered under the kosher ritual was exported to Israel, increasing sales volumes; and
|
·
|
another relevant factor in such increase has been the sustained appreciation of the exchange rate as compared to the previous year.
|
Other segments
Sales revenues from the Other segment increased by 48.8%, from Ps. 83.3 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 123.9 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly due to:
·
|
an increase of Ps. 22.5 million in resales of supplies and others; and
|
·
|
an increase of Ps. 16.5 million in commodity brokerage services.

Sales revenues from the Urban Properties and Investments business increased 30.1%, from Ps. 2,187.2 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2,845.2 million in fiscal year 2014. This was mainly due to an increase of Ps. 418.7 million in the Shopping Centers Properties segment, an increase of Ps. 46.5 million in the Offices and Others segment, an increase of Ps. 105.7 million in the Hotels segment, an increase of Ps. 49.9 million in the International segment, and an increase of Ps. 37.8 million in the Sales and Developments segment, partially offset by Ps. 0.6 million in the Financial Operations and Other segment.
In turn, income from interests in our joint ventures showed a 65.9% decrease, down from Ps. 136.2 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 46.5 million in the fiscal year 2014, primarily owing to a smaller amount of revenues from sales related to the Horizons project, from the Cyrsa joint venture.
By the same token, inter-segment revenues rose by 59.0%, up from Ps. 3.9 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 6.2 million in the fiscal year 2014, primarily owing to the refurbishment during the fiscal year of some square meters at our Abasto shopping center which started to be leased by us as part of its administrative offices.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures as well as inter-segment eliminations, revenues grew by 24.5% up from Ps. 2,327.3 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2,897.9 million in the fiscal year 2014.
Costs
Total costs of the Company increased 25.4%, from Ps. 3,120.5 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 3,914.6 million in the fiscal year 2014. This was mainly a result of a 26.1% increase in the Agricultural business, from Ps. 2,023.3 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2,550.5 million in the fiscal year 2014 and a 24.3% increase in the Urban properties and investment business from Ps. 1,097.2 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,364.1 million in the fiscal year 2014.

Total costs increased 26.1%, from Ps. 2,023.3 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2,550.5 million in the fiscal year 2014. This was caused mainly by an increase of Ps. 293.3 million in the Crops segment, an increase of Ps. 8.2 million in the Cattle segment, an increase of Ps. 29.5 million in the Dairy segment, an increase of Ps. 5.3 million in the Agricultural Rentals and Services segment, an increase of Ps. 2.6 million in the Land Transformation and Sales segment, an increase of Ps. 254.9 million in the Agro-industrial segment and an increase of Ps. 28.9 million in the Other segment, offset by a reduction of Ps. 95.5 million in the Sugarcane segment.
In turn, the costs from our joint ventures exhibited a net increase of Ps. 20.8 million, rise from Ps. 14.9 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 35.7 million in the fiscal year 2014, primarily as a result of an increase of Ps. 19.6 million in crops costs from Cresca, from Ps. 11.6 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 31.2 million in the fiscal year 2014.
By the same token, inter-segment costs rose Ps. 24.2 million, up from Ps. 76 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 31.8 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly due to the cost of cattle sales during the fiscal year to our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas that pass from Cattle segment to Agro-industrial segment.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures as well as inter-segment eliminations, costs grew by 28.0% up from Ps. 2,045.8 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2,618.0 million in the fiscal year 2014.
Crops
Costs from the Crops segment increased 19%, from Ps. 1,216.2 million for fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,509.5 million for fiscal year 2014. Costs from the Crops segment are detailed in the following table:

The cost of sales from the Crops segment increased 23.8% from Ps. 622.6 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 770.9 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 50.5% increase in the average cost per ton of grain sold in the fiscal year 2014, from Ps. 1,200 in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,806 in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of the higher average market prices of grains; and
|
·
|
slightly offset by a 17.8% reduction in the volume of tons sold as compared to the previous fiscal year.
|
The cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 83.5% in the fiscal year 2013 and 94.3% in the fiscal year 2014.
The cost of production from the Crops segment increased 24.4% from Ps. 593.5 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 738.6 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 22.6% increase in direct production costs during this fiscal year as compared to the previous one, mainly affected by the inflationary context that impacts both on the prices of leases and supplies used (agrochemicals and seeds);
|
·
|
slightly offset by lower production volumes in the fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013; and
|
·
|
a larger number of hectares in operation in own farmlands in the fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013.
|
Total cost of production per ton increased 26.1%, from Ps. 1,482 per ton in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,869 per ton in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of higher direct costs of production in the fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013.
Cattle

The cost of sales from the Cattle segment decreased 2.2%, from Ps. 70.6 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 69.1 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 7.4% reduction in beef sales volumes in the fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
partially offset by higher cost per kilogram sold in fiscal year 2014.
|
Cost of production of the Cattle segment increased 13.5%, from Ps. 72.0 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 81.7 million in the fiscal year 2014. The higher cost of production from the Cattle segment during the fiscal year 2014 was mainly due to:
·
|
higher payroll expenses;
|
·
|
higher lease expenses, as in 2014 various farmlands intended for livestock production in the Province of Buenos Aires were leased;
|
·
|
higher feed costs due to the increase of animals in our own farmlands fattened in feedlots; and
|
·
|
offset by lower costs from our subsidiary Cactus due to the discontinuance of its livestock activities in 2014.
|
Dairy
Costs of the Dairy segment increased 39.4%, from Ps. 74.8 million for fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 104.3 million for fiscal year 2014. The following table contains a detail of the costs of the Dairy segment:

The cost of sales from the Dairy segment increased 37.2%, from Ps. 37.7 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 51.7 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 5.1% increase in dairy sales volumes; and
|
·
|
a 33.5% increase in dairy price levels that impacted on the cost of sales.
|
Cost of production of the Dairy segment increased 41.7%, from Ps. 37.2 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 52.6 million in the fiscal year 2014. This rise was mainly due to the impact of higher direct and indirect costs, affecting the cost of production per liter of dairy, which increased from Ps. 2.01 per liter of dairy in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2.73 per liter of dairy in the fiscal year 2014.
Sugarcane
Costs of the Sugarcane segment decreased 31.6%, from Ps. 302.2 million for fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 206.8 million for fiscal year 2014. The following table contains a detail of the costs of the Sugarcane segment:

Cost of sales from the Sugarcane segment decreased 33.2%, from Ps. 158.2 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 105.6 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a reduction of 504,206 tons of sugarcane sold in fiscal year 2014 compared to the previous fiscal year, mainly in our Brazilian subsidiary; and
|
·
|
offset by a 16.6% increase in the average cost per ton of sugarcane sold in the fiscal year 2014, from Ps. 134 in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 156 per ton in the fiscal year 2014.
|
The cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 98.7% in the fiscal year 2013 and 85.3% in the fiscal year 2014.
The cost of production of the Sugarcane segment decreased 29.8%, from Ps. 144.1 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 101.1 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of a lower production volume in fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013, caused by harvesting timing differences, as in the previous season it was concentrated from June to October 2012 and thus included the 11-12 and 12-13 harvests, while in the current season it was concentrated from April to September 2013.
The total cost of production per ton increased 23.2%, from Ps. 125 per ton in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 154 per ton in fiscal year 2014.
Agricultural Rentals and Services
Cost of sales from the Agricultural Rentals and Services segment increased 44.2%, from Ps. 12.1 million for fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 17.4 million for fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
higher lease costs in Brasilagro, due to the amortization of new soil improvement works and structural expenses in the Preferencia farm, which was leased after such expenses had been incurred;
|
·
|
higher costs from seed production services, reflecting the increase in the cost of supplies (mostly in US$) and in production volumes; and
|
·
|
a 42.2% increase in irrigation service costs.
|
Land transformation and sales
Cost of sales from the Sale and Transformation of Lands segment increased 45.0%, from Ps. 5.7 million for fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 8.2 million for fiscal year 2014, mainly due to increases in salary-related items, in particular the share incentive plan.
Agro-industrial
Cost of sales from the Agro-industrial segment increased 128.5%, from Ps. 198.4 million for fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 453.3 million for fiscal year 2014, with a significantly lower incidence of raw materials from the meat packing plant on purchase prices, favoring the increase in the gross marginal contribution.
Others
The cost of sales of the Other segments increased 40.5%, from Ps. 71.3 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 100.2 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of higher costs from the brokerage business related to the increase in the number of commodity trading transactions through FyO for Ps. 13.6 million and higher costs generated by the resale of supplies and others for Ps. 14.0 million.

Cost of sales from our Urban properties and investment business increased 24.3%, from Ps. 1,097.2 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,364.1 million in the fiscal year 2014. This was mainly due to an increase of Ps. 192.9 million in the Shopping Center segment, an increase of Ps. 6.6 million in the Sales and Developments segment, an increase of Ps. 47.7 million in the Hotels segment and an increase of Ps. 26.9 million in the International segment, slightly offset by a decrease of Ps. 6.7 million in the Offices and Others segment and a decrease of Ps. 0.5 million in the Financial Operation and Other segment.
In turn, the costs from our joint ventures exhibited a 72.6% net decrease, down from Ps. 105.9 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 29.0 million in the fiscal year 2014, due primarily to the reduction in costs caused by the reduction in sales in the Horizons project.
By the same token, inter-segment costs rose by 74.1%, up from Ps. 2.7 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 4.7 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly due to a change in the distribution of our Shopping Centers Properties costs.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures as well as inter-segment eliminations, costs grew by 15.9% up from Ps. 1,205.8 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,397.8 million in the fiscal year 2014.

Our revenues from initial recognition and changes in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest increased 30.0%, from Ps. 886.7 million for fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,152.7 million for fiscal year 2014.
In turn, income from initial recognition and changes in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest from interests in our joint ventures increased 1,048.4% from Ps. 1.7 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 20.1 million in the fiscal year 2014.
On the other hand, there was no inter-segment eliminations for incomes from initial recognition and changes in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures, incomes from initial recognition and changes in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest grew by 32.0% up from Ps. 888.5 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 1,172.7 million in the fiscal year 2014.
Crops
Production income from the Crops segment increased 40.0%, from Ps. 476.6 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 667.1 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 44.0% increase in the average production price of grains;
|
·
|
partially offset by a 2.8% reduction in the total production volume, from 354,898 tons in the fiscal year 2013 to 344,937 tons in the fiscal year 2014.
|
As of June 30, 2014 the harvested area was 99.9% of our total sown area, compared to 98.2% as of June 30, 2013.

Estimated results from the valuation of our crops in progress at reasonable value increased 176.8% from Ps. 56.7 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 156.9 million in the fiscal year 2014 mainly due to an increase of 183.5% in corn crops.
Cattle
Production income from the Cattle segment increased 84.4%, from Ps. 78.6 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 145.0 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 9.0% increase in the average price per kilogram produced, from Ps. 8.9 per kilogram in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 9.7 per kilogram in the fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
offset by a 9.3% reduction in beef production volume from 7,593 tons in the fiscal year 2013 to 6,890 tons in the fiscal year 2014.
|
The calving rate increased slightly, whereas the death rate recorded a mild increase during the fiscal year 2014 as compared to fiscal year 2013.
The number of hectares devoted to Cattle production increased from 91,053 hectares in fiscal year 2013 to 95,745 hectares in fiscal year 2014 due to a smaller number of hectares devoted to Cattle production leased to third parties.
Results from cattle holdings increased 701.5%, from a gain of Ps. 9.5 million in the fiscal year 2013 to a gain of Ps. 76.3 million in the fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of the inflationary context and the currency devaluation occurred in the last semester, which resulted in a significant rise in prices.
Dairy
Production income from the Dairy segment increased 54.2%, from Ps. 40.7 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 62.8 million in fiscal year 2014. This increase was mainly due to:
·
|
the result from holding of dairying cows, which increased 168.8%, from a gain of Ps. 3.2 million in fiscal year 2013 to a gain of Ps. 8.6 million in fiscal year 2014, as the inflationary context and the devaluation occurred during the last semester led to a significant rise in prices;
|
·
|
a 33.5% increase in the average price of dairy, from Ps. 1.94 per liter in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2.59 per liter in fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
to a lesser extent, an increase of 4.3% in dairy production volumes, from 18.5 million liters in fiscal year 2013 to 19.3 million liters during this fiscal year. This increase in production volume was mainly due to a higher average number of dairying cows per day, from 2,439 dairing cows per day in fiscal year 2013 to 2,588 dairing cows per day in fiscal year 2014, partially offset by a 2.9% reduction in the efficiency level of average daily dairy production per cow, from 20.8 liters per cow in fiscal year 2013 to 20.2 liters per cow in fiscal year 2014.
|
Sugarcane
Production income from the Sugarcane segment decreased 51.2%, from Ps. 197.3 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 96.2 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a decrease in total production volume of 43.2%, from 1,156,848 tons in fiscal year 2013 to 657,547 tons in fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
offset by a 23.3% increase in the average production price of sugarcane.
|
The 43.2% decrease in production volume from the Sugarcane segment was mainly due to a 11.5% reduction in our average yield and harvesting timing differences, as in the previous season it was concentrated from June to October 2012 and thus included the 11-12 and 12-13 harvests, while in the current season it was concentrated from April to September 2013.

Estimated results from the valuation of our sugarcane crops in progress at fair value
|
Estimated results from the valuation of our sugarcane crops in progress at fair value decreased significantly from a gain of Ps. 45.3 million in fiscal year 2013 to a loss of Ps. 10.3 million in fiscal year 2014 mainly generated by Brasilagro. This variation originated mainly in Brazil, and was caused by the following factors:
·
|
the number of estimated hectares went down from a year-on-year decrease of 2% in fiscal year 2013 to a year-on-year decrease of 12% in fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
the estimated yields went down from a from a year-on-year increase of 3% in fiscal year 2013 to a year-on-year decrease of 1% in fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
the estimated unit costs went up from a year-on-year increase of 11% in fiscal year 2013 to a year-on-year increase of 18% in fiscal year 2014.
|
Others
Income from initial recognition and changes in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest from the Other segments increased significantly, from a loss of Ps. 1.0 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 0.0 million in fiscal year 2014, due to the variation in the valuation of the timber stocks at fair value in fiscal year 2014.

Income from changes in the net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest decreased significantly, from a gain of Ps. 11.8 million in fiscal year 2013 to a loss of Ps. 17.4 million in fiscal year 2014. This was caused mainly by a reduction of Ps. 29.4 million in the Crops segment (due to the discontinuance in fiscal year 2014 of corn exports made in fiscal year 2013, which resulted in a higher valuation of corn), offset by a slight increase of Ps. 0.2 million in the Cattle segment.
There were no interest in joint ventures neither inter-segment eliminations for income from changes in the net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest.

General and Administrative expenses from our Agricultural business increased 56.4%. from Ps. 151.5 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 237.0 million in the fiscal year 2014. This was mainly due to an increase of Ps. 60.6 million in the Crops segment, an increase of Ps. 14.3 million in the Cattle segment, an increase of Ps. 2.8 million in the Dairy segment, an increase of Ps. 4.1 million in the Sugarcane segment, an increase of Ps. 0.6 million in the Land Transformation and sales segment, and an increase of Ps. 5.9 million in the Agro-industrial Activities segment, slightly offset by a reduction of Ps. 1.8 million in the Agricultural Rentals and Services segment and a reduction of Ps. 1.0 million in the Other segment. The main causes of this variation were:
·
|
higher fees to Directors: in fiscal year 2014, the amounts paid were Ps. 14.4 million higher than those provisioned by the Shareholders’ Meeting for fiscal year 2013;
|
·
|
higher dues and contributions for permanent disability: Ps. 12.9 million and 6.9 million were paid as bonus plan during fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
an increase of 25% in expenses, due to the inflationary context.
|
In turn, general and administrative expenses in our joint ventures decreased 1.7% from Ps. 2.7 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 2.6 million in the fiscal year 2014, primarily as a result of a 71% decrease of crops expenses in Cresca, from Ps. 2.5 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 0.7 million in the fiscal year 2014 and a 100% increase in other segments expenses in Cresca, for Ps. 1.8 million in the fiscal year 2014.
On the other hand, there were no inter-segment eliminations for general and administrative expenses.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures, general and administrative expenses grew by 55.4% up from Ps. 154.2 million in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 239.7 million in the fiscal year 2014.

In turn, other operating results, net from interests in our joint ventures increased 58.0% from Ps. 0.9 million loss in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 0.4 million loss in the fiscal year 2014, related with our joint venture Cresca.
On the other hand, there was no inter-segment eliminations for other operating results, net.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures, other operating results, net grew by 814.3% down from Ps. 3.9 million gain in the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 27.8 million loss in the fiscal year 2014.
Other operating results, net of the Crops segment decreased Ps. 21.2 million, from an Ps. 6.7 million loss in fiscal year 2013 to an Ps. 27.9 million loss in fiscal year 2014, mainly as a result of the commodity derivatives held by Brasilagro and Cresud (Ps. 20.6 million), partially offset by the charge to income of Brasilagro’s contingency allowance for Ps. 12.1 million.
Other results, net of the Other segments decreased Ps. 12.6 million, from an Ps. 15.7 million income in fiscal year 2013 to an Ps. 3.1 million income in fiscal year 2014.
The rest of the segments of the Agriculture Business did not record significant changes.

Other operating results, net from the Urban properties and investment business decreased Ps. 139.1 million, from a Ps. 93.3 million income in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 45.9 million loss in the fiscal year 2014, generated mainly by a Ps. 136.0 million loss from the International segment.
The effect of the consolidation of our joint ventures is not significant in this line. According to the business segment reporting and considering both our joint ventures and the inter-segment eliminations, the Other operating results, net line went from Ps. 92.4 million in net income for the fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 47.9 million in net loss for the fiscal year 2014.
Profit from operation
As a result of the factors explained above, the Company’s operating income / (loss) increased Ps. 78.9 million (7.1%), from a Ps. 1,106.4 million income in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 1,185.2 million income in the fiscal year 2014.
Agricultural business

Crops
Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 55.1 million (56.6%) from a Ps. 97.4 million loss in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 152.6 million loss in the fiscal year 2014.
Cattle
Operating income / (loss) from this segment increased Ps. 28.7 million (179.2%), from a Ps. 16.0 million loss in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 12.7 million income in the fiscal year 2014.
Dairy
Operating income / (loss) from this segment increased Ps. 4.3 million (704.5%), form a Ps. 0.6 million loss in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 3.7 million income in the fiscal year 2014.
Sugarcane
Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 47.5 million from a Ps. 27.2 million income in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 20.4 million loss in the fiscal year 2014.

Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 54.7 million from a Ps. 132.6 million income in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 78.0 million income in the fiscal year 2014.
Agro-industrial
Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 47.4 million, from a Ps. 24.4 million loss in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 22.9 million income in the fiscal year 2014.
Other

Urban Properties and Investment Business

This was mainly due to a increase of Ps. 322.0 million in the Shopping Centers Properties, Offices and Others, Sales and Developments, Hotels and Financial Operations and Other segments, partially offset by an Ps. 159.3 million reduction in the International segment.
Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures
Share of loss of associates and joint ventures increased Ps. 398.9 million from a Ps. 10 million loss in the fiscal year 2013 to a Ps. 408.7 million loss in the fiscal year 2014. This was primarily due to:
·
|
a reduction of Ps. 402.2 million in the share of (loss) / profit from related companies in our Investment and development properties business in the fiscal year 2014. This growth is mainly due to the Ps. 517.0 million loss booked in the course of this fiscal year in IDBD, the fact that it is measured at market value and that since our acquisition, this company’s common shares have fallen by 47.3% and to the larger loss of Ps. 32.3 million caused by our interest in New Lipstick LLC (International segment), partially offset by the recognition in the course of this fiscal year of income for Ps. 15.5 million for the acquisition of Supertel (International segment) and the increased revenues from our interest in Banco Hipotecario for Ps. 123.8 million (Financial Operations and Others segment);
|
·
|
slightly offset by higher income for Ps. 2.3 million from the Agricultural business, mainly due to income from the result of the investment in Agro-Uranga (corresponding to the Crops segment).
|
Financial results, net
We had a higher net financial loss of Ps. 1,665.6 million, from a loss of Ps. 908.8 million in fiscal year 2013 to a loss of Ps. 2,574.4 million in fiscal year 2014. This was primarily due to:
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 1,417.8 million in net exchange differences in fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 207.7 million in net financial interest recorded in fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
a higher income of Ps. 23.9 million in revaluation of receivables from sale of farmlands in fiscal year 2014;
|
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 358.2 million in derivative financial instruments in fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 64.9 million generated by the results from Financial Operations and Other in fiscal year 2014.
|
Our net financial loss in fiscal year 2014 was mainly attributable to (i) Ps. 1,900 million loss generated by exchange differences mainly as a result of a higher liability position in US dollars due to the issuance of new series of notes; (ii) a loss of Ps. 737.9 million generated by interest accrued on debt financing, mainly due to increased indebtedness and higher interest rates; and (iii) a loss of Ps. 315.6 million generated mainly by a derivative instrument due to IDBD’s tender offer.
There was a 50% variation in the U.S. Dollar buying rate during fiscal year 2014 (it increased from Ps. 5.348 as of June 30, 2013 to Ps. 8.033 as of June 30, 2014) as compared to the previous fiscal year, when the U.S. Dollar quotation had experienced a smaller variation, of 19% (from Ps. 4.487 as of June 30, 2012 to Ps. 5,348 as of June 30, 2013).
Income tax benefit / (expense)
Our income tax expense decreased Ps. 422.9 million, from Ps. 33.5 million loss in fiscal year 2013 to Ps. 389.4 million income in fiscal year 2014. The Company recognizes the income tax expense on the basis of the deferred tax liability method, thus recognizing temporary differences between accounting and tax assets and liabilities measurements. The main temporary differences for the Agriculture business derive from valuation of cattle stock and sale and replacement of property, plant and equipment, while those corresponding to the Urban Properties and Investments business derive from the sale and replacement of investment properties.
For purposes of determining the deferred assets and liabilities, the tax rate expected to be in force at the time of their reversion or use, according to the legal provisions enacted as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, has been applied to the identified temporary differences and tax losses.
Net income / (loss)
Due to the above mentioned factors, our net income / (loss) decreased by Ps. 1,562.7 million (1,012.8%) from Ps. 154.3 million net income for fiscal year 2013 to an Ps. 1,408.4 million net loss in fiscal year 2014. Net income / (loss) for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 is attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders and non-controlling interest as per the following detail:
·
|
Net income / (loss) attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders decreased by Ps. 1,041.0 million, from a loss of Ps. 26.9 million in fiscal year 2013 to a loss of Ps. 1,067.9 million in fiscal year 2014; and
|
·
|
the non-controlling interest in controlled companies decreased by Ps. 521.7 million (287.9%), from an income of Ps. 181,2 million in fiscal year 2013 to a loss of Ps. 340.5 million in fiscal year 2014, mainly due to a reduction of Ps. 69.2 million in Brasilagro, a reduction of Ps. 392.2 million in our subsidiary IRSA, and a reduction of Ps. 59.9 million in other companies from the Urban Properties and Investment business.

Total sales increased 25.32%, from Ps. 1,070.3 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 1,341.4 million in the fiscal year 2013.

In turn, income from interests in our joint ventures showed a 14.8% decrease, from Ps. 7.5 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 6.4 million in the fiscal year 2013, primarily owing to lower crops revenues, partially offset by higher cattle revenues from Cresca S.A. joint venture.
By the same token, inter-segment revenues decrease 48.4%, from Ps. 14.8 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 7.6 million in the fiscal year 2013, primarily owing to the cattle sales during the fiscal year to our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas that pass from Cattle segment to Agro-industrial segment.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures as well as inter-segment eliminations, revenues grew by 24.1% up from Ps. 1,092.6 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 1,355.4 million in the fiscal year 2013.
Crops
Sales from the Crops segment rose 18.5%, from Ps. 629.7 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 745.9 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly as a result of:

Sales from the Agricultural Rentals and Services segment increased by 21.8%, from Ps. 25.3 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 30.8 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 12.0% increase in leases, from Ps. 19.9 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 22.3 million in the fiscal year 2013; and
|
·

|
Agro-industrial
Sales from the Agro-industrial segment increased 107.6%, from Ps. 100.1 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 207.8 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 110.2% increase in sales from our meat packing plant due to the acceleration in slaughtering levels during the first half of fiscal year 2013. It should be noted that during the second half of fiscal year 2012 the plant had been inactive. During the fiscal year 2013 44,202 heads were slaughtered, virtually doubling the output for the previous fiscal year as concerns own animals and totaling more than 7,600 heads from users of our slaughtering service. During the fiscal year 2012 alone, 662 heads were slaughtered under this pattern;
|
·
|
during the last two months of fiscal year 2013, the sales prices of sub products recorded a sustained increase which, added to the firm appreciation of the exchange rate and the sustained rise in slaughtering volumes, led to the above mentioned increase;
|
·
|
offset by a decrease of 19.3% in revenues from sales in our feedlot facility, mainly reflecting the 71.5% reduction in average occupancy, from 4,400 heads in the fiscal year 2012 to 1,252 heads in the fiscal year 2013.
|
Others
Sales from the Other segments increased by 53.8%, from Ps. 54.1 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 83.3 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly due to:
·
|

|
·
|
an increase of Ps. 9.4 million in commodity brokerage services.

Sales from the Urban properties and investment business increased 22.2%, from Ps. 1,789.5 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 2,187.2 million in the fiscal year 2013.

Costs
Total costs of the Company increased 26.6%, from Ps. 2,464.2 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 3,120.5 million in the fiscal year 2013.

In turn, the costs from our joint ventures exhibited a net increase of Ps. 0.4 million, rise from Ps. 14.4 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 14.8 million in the fiscal year 2014, primarily as a result of a decrease of Ps. 1.3 million in crops costs from Cresca S.A., from 12.9 in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 11.6 million in the fiscal year 2013 and an increase of Ps. 2.1 million in cattle costs from Cresca S.A., from 1.2 in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 3.3 million in the fiscal year 2013.
By the same token, inter-segment costs decreased by 47.8%, from Ps. 14.6 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 7.6 million in the fiscal year 2013, as a result of a 89% decrease of cattle costs from Ps. 10.7 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 1.4 million in the fiscal year 2013 and a 146% increase of agro-industrial costs from Ps. 2.6 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 12.1 million in the fiscal year 2013.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures as well as inter-segment eliminations, cost grew by 26.3% up from Ps. 1,619.9 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 2,045.8 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly due to the cost of cattle sales during the fiscal year to our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas that pass from Cattle segment to Agro-industrial segment.

|
·
|
a smaller number of hectares in operation in own farmlands in the fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012.
|

Agro-industrial
Cost of sales from the Agro-industrial segment increased 79.1%, from Ps. 110.8 million for fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 198.4 million for fiscal year 2013, mainly due to the acceleration of slaughtering levels in our meat packing plant, resulting in a higher volume of operations that led to significant wage increases.

The Company’s revenues from initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest increased 26.5%, from Ps. 700.9 million for fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 886.7 million for fiscal year 2013.
In turn, revenues from initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest from interests in our joint ventures decreased 77.5% from Ps. 7.7 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 1.7 million in the fiscal year 2013.
On the other hand, there were no inter-segment eliminations for revenues from initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest.
Thus, according to the business segment reporting by segment and considering all our joint ventures, revenues from initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest grew by 25.4% up from Ps. 708.7 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 888.5 million in the fiscal year 2013.
Crops
Production income from the Crops segment increased 10.2%, from Ps. 432.6 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 476.6 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 18.0% increase in the average production price of grains;
|
·
|
partially offset by a 7.4% reduction in the total production volume, from 383,088 tons in the fiscal year 2012 to 354,898 tons in the fiscal year 2013.
|
The 7.4% decrease in production volume of our Crops segment was mainly due to a 14.0% reduction in our average yield, from 2.7 tons per hectare in the fiscal year 2012 to 2.3 tons per hectare in the fiscal year 2013.
As of June 30, 2013 the harvested area was 98.5% of our total sown area, compared to 90.0% as of June 30, 2012.

Estimated results from the valuation of our crops in progress at reasonable value increased 28.9% from Ps. 73.3 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 94.4 million in the fiscal year 2013 mainly due to increases in corn (50.5%) and sunflower (53.6%) crops, partially offset by a reduction in soybean crops (52.2%) and wheat crops (18.6%) in the fiscal year 2013.
Cattle
Production income from the Cattle segment increased 7.4%, from Ps. 64.3 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 69.1 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly as a result of:
·
|
a 24.1% increase in the average price per kilogram produced, from Ps. 7.1 in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 8.9 in the fiscal year 2013;
|
·
|
offset by a 14.4% reduction in beef production volume from 8,930 tons in the fiscal year 2012 to 7,642 tons in the fiscal year 2013.
|
The calving rate decreased slightly, whereas the death rate recorded a mild increase during the fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012.
The number of hectares devoted to cattle production decreased from 95,995 hectares in the fiscal year 2012 to 91,053 hectares in the fiscal year 2013 due to a smaller number of own hectares devoted to cattle production.
Results from cattle holdings decreased 33.7%, from a gain of Ps. 14.6 million in the fiscal year 2012 to a gain of Ps. 9.5 million in the fiscal year 2013, mainly as a result of the reduction in cattle stocks and lower cattle market prices.
Dairy
Production income from the Dairy segment increased 21.0%, from Ps. 31.1 million in fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 37.6 million in fiscal year 2013. This increase was mainly due to:
·
|
a 11.5% increase in dairy production volumes, from 16.6 million liters in fiscal year 2012 to 18.5 million liters during this fiscal year. This increase in production volume was mainly due to a higher average number of dairying cows per day, from 2,046 in fiscal year 2012 to 2,392 in fiscal year 2013, partially offset by a 4.7% reduction in the efficiently level of average daily dairy production per cow, from 22.2 liters in fiscal year 2012 to 21.1 liters in fiscal year 2013; and
|
·
|
a 19.8% increase in the average price of dairy, from Ps. 1.69 per liter in fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 2.02 per liter in fiscal year 2013.
|
Results from holding of dairying cows increased 10.1%, from a gain of Ps. 2.9 million in fiscal year 2012 to a gain of Ps. 3.2 million in fiscal year 2013.
Sugarcane
Production income from the Sugarcane segment increased 113.2%, from Ps. 71.3 million in fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 152.0 million in fiscal year 2013, mainly as a result of:
·
|
an increase in total production volume of 100.8%, from 576,048 tons in fiscal year 2012 to 1,156,848 tons in fiscal year 2013; and
|
·
|
an increase of 6.2% in the average production price of sugarcane.
|
The 100.8% increase in production volume from the Sugarcane segment was mainly due to a 40.4% increase in our average yield, from 65.4 tons per hectare in fiscal year 2012 to 91.7 tons per hectare for fiscal year 2013, mainly due to favorable weather conditions.
As of June 30, 2013, the harvested area was 94.9% of the total sown area compared to 82.3% as of June 30, 2012.

Estimated results from the valuation of our crops in progress at fair value increased significantly from Ps. 10.9 million in fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 45.3 million in fiscal year 2013 mainly generated by Brasilagro, where higher productivity and higher prices are estimated and new planted hectares were added.
Other
Income from initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest point from the Other segments decreased significantly, from an income of Ps. 0.06 million in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 1.0 million loss in the fiscal year 2013, due to the variation in the valuation of the timber stocks at reasonable value in the fiscal year 2013.

Income from changes in the net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest increased significantly, from Ps. 2.7 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 11.8 million in the fiscal year 2013.

Selling expenses of the Urban Properties and Investment Business increased 25.2% from Ps. 84.8 million in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 106.1 million in the fiscal year 2013.

Other operating results, net from the Agricultural business increased 107.9%, from Ps. 60.9 million loss in the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 4.8 million gain in the fiscal year 2013.

Other operating results, net from the Urban properties and investment business increased Ps. 125.7 million, from a Ps. 32.4 million loss in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 93.3 million income in the fiscal year 2013, generated mainly by a Ps. 135.0 million income from the International segment.
The effect of the consolidation of our joint ventures is not significant in this line. According to the business segment reporting and considering both our joint ventures and the inter-segment eliminations, the Others operating results, net line went from Ps. 36.5 million in net loss for the fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 92.4 million in net income for the fiscal year 2013.

Agricultural business

Crops
Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 32.1 million (24.8%) from a Ps. 129.5 million loss in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 97.4 million loss in the fiscal year 2013.
Cattle

Dairy
Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 2.3 million (136.3%), form a Ps. 1.7 million income in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 0.6 million loss in the fiscal year 2013.
Sugarcane
Operating income / (loss) from this segment increased Ps. 33.4 million from a Ps. 6.2 million loss in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 27.2 million income in the fiscal year 2013.
Agricultural Rentals and Services
Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 5.1 million (29.5%) from a Ps. 17.2 million income in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 12.1 million income in the fiscal year 2013.
Land Transformation and sales
Operating income / (loss) from this segment increased Ps. 93.4 million from a Ps. 39.2 million income in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 132.6 million income in the fiscal year 2013.
Agro-industrial
Operating income / (loss) from this segment decreased Ps. 1.1 million, from a Ps. 25.6 million loss in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 24.5 million loss in the fiscal year 2013.
Other
Operating income / (loss) from this segment increased Ps. 24.7 million, from a Ps. 12.0 million loss in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 12.7 million income in the fiscal year 2013.
Urban Properties and Investment Business
Operating income / (loss) from this business increased Ps. 318.2 million (42.9%) from a Ps. 742.1 million income in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 1,060.2 million income in the fiscal year 2013. This was mainly due to a increase of Ps. 341.5 million in the Shopping Centers Properties, Offices and Others, Sales and Developments and International segments, partially offset by a Ps. 23.4 million reduction in the Hotels and Financial Operation and Other segments.
Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures
Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures decreased Ps. 9.6 million (90.4%) from a Ps. 10.6 million gain in the fiscal year 2012 to a Ps. 1.0 million gain in the fiscal year 2013. This was primarily due to:
·
|
a reduction of Ps. 13.1 million in income from related companies in our Investment and development properties business in the fiscal year 2013 due primarily to lower profits from our investment in Banco Hipotecario and a larger loss caused by our interest in New Lipstick;
|
·
|
slightly offset by higher income of Ps. 3.5 million from the Agricultural business, mainly reflecting a Ps. 2.1 million income from our investment in AgroUranga (corresponding to the Crops segment).
|
Financial results, net
We had a higher net financial loss of Ps. 339.4 million, from a loss of Ps. 569.32 million in fiscal year 2012 to a loss of Ps. 908.7 million in fiscal year 2013. This was primarily due to:
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 266.1 million in net exchange differences in fiscal year 2013;
|
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 22.2 million in net financial interest recorded in fiscal year 2013;
|
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 18.9 million in revaluation of receivables from sale of farmlands in fiscal year 2013;
|
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 6.5 million in derivative financial instruments in fiscal year 2013; and
|
·
|
a higher loss of Ps. 26.9 million generated by the results from Financial Operations and Other in fiscal year 2013.
|
Our net financial loss in fiscal year 2013 was mainly attributable to (i) an Ps. 586.4 million loss generated by exchange differences mainly as a result of a higher liability position in US dollars due to the issuance of new series of notes; and (ii) a loss of Ps. 483.8 million generated by interest accrued on debt financing, mainly due to increased indebtedness and higher interest rates.
There was a 19% variation in the U.S. Dollar seller exchange rate during fiscal year 2013 (it increased from Ps. 4.527 as of June 30, 2012 to Ps. 5.388 as of June 30, 2013) as compared to the previous fiscal year, when the U.S. Dollar quotation had experienced a smaller variation, of 10% (from Ps. 4.110 as of June 30, 2011 to Ps. 4.527 as of June 30, 2012).
Income tax benefit / (expense)
Our income tax expense increased Ps. 11.5 million (52.66%), from Ps. 21.9 million in fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 33.5 million in fiscal year 2013. The Company recognizes the income tax expense on the basis of the deferred tax liability method, thus recognizing temporary differences between accounting and tax assets and liabilities measurements. The main temporary differences for the Agricultural Business derive from valuation of cattle stock and sale and replacement of property, plant and equipment, while those corresponding to the Urban Properties and Investments Business derive from the sale and replacement of investment properties.
For purposes of determining the deferred assets and liabilities, the tax rate expected to be in force at the time of their reversion or use, according to the legal provisions enacted as of the date of issuance of these financial statements (35%), has been applied to the identified temporary differences and tax losses.
Net income / (loss)
Due to the above mentioned factors, our net income increased by Ps. 95.8 million (163.8%) from Ps. 58.5 million for fiscal year 2012 to Ps. 154.3 million in fiscal year 2013. Net income for the fiscal years 2013 and 2012 is attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders and non-controlling interest as per the following detail:
·
|
Net income attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders increased by Ps. 5.6 million, from a loss of Ps. 21.3 million in fiscal year 2012 to a loss of Ps. 26.9 million in fiscal year 2013; and
|
·
|
The non-controlling interest in controlled companies increased by Ps. 101.4 million (127.0%), from an income of Ps. 79.8 million in fiscal year 2012 to an income of Ps. 181.2 million in fiscal year 2013, mainly due to an increase of Ps. 47.2 million in Brasilagro, an increase of Ps. 11.0 million in our subsidiary IRSA, and an increase of Ps. 38.2 million in other companies from the Urban Properties and Investment business.

C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTS, PATENTS AND LICENSES
Investments in technology amounted to Ps.9.3 and Ps.12.1 million for the fiscal years 2014 and 2013 respectively. Our total technology investments aim to increase the productivity of purchased land have amounted to Ps.434.8 million since fiscal year 1995.
We reach our objectives within this area through the implementation of domestic and international technological development projects focusing mainly on:
|
•
|
Quality and productivity improvement.
|
|
•
|
Increase in appreciation value of land through the development of marginal areas.
|
|
•
|
Increase in the quality of food in order to achieve global food safety standards. We aim to implement and perform according to official and private quality protocols that allow us to comply with the requirements of our present and future clients. Regarding official regulations, in 2003 we implemented the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria law on animal identification for livestock in six farmlands. Simultaneously, in 2004 we implemented EurepGap Protocols with the objective of complying with European Union food safety standards and as a mean for continuous improvement of the internal management and system production of our farmlands. Our challenge is to achieve global quality standards.
|
|
•
|
Certification of suitable quality standards, since in recent years worldwide agriculture has evolved towards more efficient and sustainable schemes in terms of environmental and financial standpoints, where the innocuousness and quality of the production systems is becoming increasingly important. In this context, Good Agricultural Practices have emerged, as a set of practices seeking to ensure the innocuousness of agricultural products, the protection of the environment, the workers’ safety and well-being, and agricultural health, with a view to improving conventional production methods. Certification of such standards allows to demonstrate the application of Good Agricultural Practices to production systems and ensures product traceability, allowing to impose stricter controls to verify the enforcement of the applicable laws.
|
|
•
|
The implementation of a system of control and assessment of agricultural tasks for analyzing and improving efficiency in the use of agricultural machinery hired. For each of the tasks, a minimum standard to be fulfilled by contractors was set, which has led to do an improvement in the plant stand upon sowing, a better use of supplies and lower harvesting losses.

D. TREND INFORMATION
International Outlook:
As reported by the IMF in its World Economic Outlook (“WEO”), global activity rebounded in 2013, growing 3%, and world growth is expected to reach 3.6% in 2014 and 3.9% in 2015. From 2014 to 2015, developed economies are expected to grow at rates around 2%, driven by the forecasted growth in the United States, of approximately 3%, and in the Euro Zone, with projected growth rates of around 1% for 2014-2015.
Emerging and developing economies have recorded growth rates similar to those seen last year, and they are expected to grow 4.9% and 5.3% by the end of 2014 and 2015. The recovery of developed economies should have a positive impact on trade, although it could be lessened by lower commodity prices.
During 2012 and 2013, the financial markets generally exhibited a significant pickup in contrast with their lower performance of 2011. The MSCI World index (representative of developed markets) showed strong recovery in 2012 and 2013, reaching 18% on average. In 2012, the MSCI Emerging Markets index recovered partially from its 2011 fall, although in 2013 yields were slightly negative again. The continued currency stimulation programs in the world, led mainly by the Federal Reserve of the United States of America, have underpinned most of the upsurge in the financial markets. MSCI World Index increased 2.6% in a year to date basis up to October 2014.
Argentine Economy:
Argentine growth forecasts were revised down again as compared to those of last year. The IMF went from projecting 3.5% to 0.5% for 2014. This correction was mainly due to the mismatch in the balance of payment and the deterioration of the external financing conditions, due to the holdouts unresolved issue.
Consumption remained as the main driver of economic activity, as shopping center and supermarket sales grew at rates close to 43% year on year in nominal terms as of April 2014, favored by the increase in nominal salaries.
The unemployment rate was at 7.1% of the country’s economically active population which points to a year on year decrease of 0.8 percentage points. In turn, the employment rate has remained almost unaltered as compared to the past year, at 41.8%.
In turn, gross domestic fixed Investment continued to perform positively as in the past years and showed a year on year increase of 1.6%, locating it at 23% of GDP.
Compared to the same period of the previous year, industrial activity decreased by 3.2% during the first half of 2014, both seasonally adjusted and not adjusted. Its breakdown shows that the industry sectors that experienced the highest growth rates in this period were: synthetic and artificial fibers (28.3%), industrial gases (23.2%), cigarettes (18.4%), and crude steel (16.8%). On the other hand, the automotive industry declined 19% compared to the same month of the previous year.
As concerns the external sector, the balance of trade as of June 2014 recorded a surplus of US$ 1,379 million. Income from exports stood at US$ 7,387 million and spending on imports amounted to US$ 6,008 million. Trade with the Mercosur (including Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela), Argentina’s main trade partner, concentrated 22% of the Argentine exports and 21% of the purchases made abroad. The balance of trade as of June 2014 was positive at US$ 364 million. In the first half of 2014, the major contributions to the Argentine exports were made by: agricultural manufactures, with 40%, and industrial manufactures, with 32% of the total value. In turn, intermediate goods accounted for 28% of the Argentine imports, followed by parts and accessories for capital goods (20%), capital goods (18%), and fuels and lubricants (18%).
Regarding the balance of payments, in the first quarter of 2014 the current account deficit reached US$ 3,304 million, with US$ 483 million allocated to the goods and services trade balance, and US$ 2,818 million to the income account, 71% of which related to the net debit of foreign direct investment return.
During the past quarter, the financial account showed a net outflow of US$ 619 million. The financial private sector excluding the Argentine Central Bank contributed net income for US$ 399 million, the non-financial private sector accounted for US$ 34 million, and the financial and non-final public sector had net outflows of US$ 1,052 million.
The stock of international reserves at the closing of June 2014 stood at US$ 29,278 million, a fall of 21%, mainly reflecting balance of payment transactions.
Total gross external debt at the closing of March 2014 was estimated at US$ 137,810 million, a reduction of US$ 562 million compared to the previous quarter.
The non-financial and Argentine Central Bank debt for the quarter was estimated at US$ 69,423 million, a reduction of US$ 474 million from the previous quarter mainly due to transactions with international agencies for US$ 1,243 million (repayments for US$ 1,431 million and disbursements for US$ 188 million), whereas bond indebtedness rose by US$ 694 million, mainly driven by purchases made by non-residents in the secondary market. Non-financial private debt for the quarter was estimated at US$ 65,693 million, remaining almost unaltered as compared to the previous quarter. The financial sector debt excluding the Argentine Central Bank did not record significant changes either.
At the closing of 2013, the net international investment position recorded a net credit balance estimated at US$ 49,045 million, reflecting external assets for US$ 261,183 million and external liabilities for US$ 212,138 million, a reduction of US$ 8,655 million compared to the previous year. This reduction was due to the higher increase in internal liabilities than in external assets.
In connection with the fiscal sector, revenues recorded a year-on-year increase of 42% as of March 2014, whereas primary expenditure grew by 35%, slightly below the increase in revenues, and was mostly oriented to items related to the sustainment of domestic demand, focused on the lower-income sectors.
In local financial markets, the lending interest rates grew by different percentages throughout the fiscal year. The Private Badlar rate in Pesos averaged 23.08% in June 2014 against 16.5% in June 2013. Despite the devaluation of January 2014, the Argentine Central Bank continued with its controlled floating exchange rate policy: the Peso sustained a 52.5% nominal depreciation in the period from June 2013 to June 2014.
In the fiscal year herein analyzed, Argentina’s country risk, measured as per the Emerging Market Bond Index, decreased by 427 basis points, maintaining a high spread vis-à-vis the rest of the countries in the region. The debt premium paid by Argentina was at 740 points in June 2014, compared to the 212 paid by Brazil and the 124 paid by Mexico.
Product Prospects
The sources of the following information are the Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación de la República Argentina and the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”).
Wheat
World wheat production for the 2014/2015 campaign is estimated by USDA at 721.12 million tons, 6 million tons more than the 2013/2014 campaign. Estimated harvested area is expected to increase by almost 1 million hectares at global level, while production yields are expected to stay at similar levels as the 2013/2014 campaign, With good projected yields for the Euro Zone and Russia, in contrast to the lower expected harvests in United States, Canada and Kazakhstan. The wheat production forecast for Argentina is 12.0 million tons, up 14.29% from last year, while wheat area is projected to increase from 3.5 to 4.1 million hectares, being the mainly driver of the expected production increase.
Corn
USDA projections for the 2014-15 season estimates that world production will reach 990.69 million tons, showing a marginal increase with respect to the previous year. Yield is estimated at 5.59 tons per hectare, up 1.6% from last year. In the case of Argentina, the planted area is expected to decrease from 3.4 to 3.25 million hectares due to higher production costs, pushing the expected production down from 25 to 23 million tons.
Soybean
The USDA projections for the 2014-15 season estimates that the world soybean production will show a strong increase of 9.19%, going from 285,01 million tons to 311,20. The USDA estimates that Argentina’s soybean production will increase by 1.0 million tons, reaching 55 million tons in the 2014/2015 campaign. The expected production increase at global level and in Argentina, are a consequence of both, an expansion in the planted soybean area and a higher expected average yield.
Sunflower
At global level, sunflower production estimates for the 2014/2015 campaign are projected by USDA at approximately 40.20 million tons, down 6.25% from last year production, mainly due to large differences in production yields among the principal sunflower production regions.
According to the source, the Argentine production of sunflower is forecast to be 2.5 million tons for the 2014/15 campaign, 19.05% higher than the 2013/14 campaign.
Beef Cattle
According to the USDA projections, orld beef production will reach 59.59 million tons in 2014, up 0.3% from last year production. In the case of Argentina, the expected production for 2014 is 2.82 million tons, showing a steady growth in its production since 2011. The argentine livestock market prices showed also a steady upward trend during the whole year.
Milk
The USDA estimates show, that the world production of milk will increase from the 2013 production levels of 468 million tons to 482 million tons by the end of 2014.
According to the prospects of the USDA, in the case of Argentina, the 11.93 million ton production recorded in 2013 is expected to increase to 12.11 million in 2014.
At present, the whole Argentine powdered milk production industry has a capacity of approximately 15 million liters per day, reaching its highest capacity in spring.
Argentina continues to be the third largest exporter of whole powdered milk in the world. Exports for 2014 are estimated at 207,000 MT. The five main markets for Argentina are: Algeria (18%), Venezuela (15%), Brazil (15%), China (13%), and Russia (12%).
For additional information about our Agricultural business, please see Item 4. Information on the Company “B, Business Overview - Agricultural Business”.
Evolution of Shopping Centers in Argentina
Private consumption continues to be the driver of economic activity. Household expenditure increases in tandem with household nominal income. According to data from INDEC, the salary variation ratio increased by 35.48% in August 2014 compared to the figure recorded in August 2013.
The shopping centers sector behaved in a similar way. Based on the information released by INDEC, sales as of August 2014 grew by 26.3% compared to the same month of the previous year, boosted by improvements in household nominal income.
Although forecasts for 2014 predict a contraction in the growth rates for this industry, employment and salary evolution levels are expected to remain firm, which translates in an auspicious forecast for our business in so far as consumption and the purchasing power of the population are the main propellers of sales in our shopping centers.

B. COMPENSATION
Compensation of directors
Under the Argentine Corporations Law, if the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee is not established in the by-laws of the Company, it should be determined by the shareholders’ meeting. The maximum amount of total compensation to the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee, including compensation for technical or administrative permanent activities, cannot exceed 25% of the earnings of the company. That amount should be limited to 5% when there is no distribution of dividends to shareholders and will be increased in proportion to the distribution up to such limit if all earnings are distributed. For purposes of applying this provision, the reduction in the distribution of dividends derived from reducing the Board of Directors’ and Supervisory Committee’s fees will not be considered.
The compensation of our directors for each fiscal year is determined pursuant to Argentine law, and taking into consideration whether the directors performed technical or administrative activities and our fiscal year’s results. Once the amount is determined, it is considered at the shareholders’ meeting.
At our shareholders’ meeting held on October 31, 2013, the shareholders approved an aggregate compensation of Ps. 17,547,324 for all of our directors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. At the end of the current fiscal year, the above mentioned compensation had been paid in full.
Compensation of Supervisory Committee
The shareholders’ meeting held on October 31, 2013 further approved by majority vote not to pay a compensation to our Supervisory Committee.
Compensation of Senior Management
Our senior management is paid a fixed amount established by taking into consideration their background, capacity and experience and an annual bonus which varies according to their individual performance and our results.
The total and aggregate compensation of our senior management for the fiscal year 2014 was Ps. 11.5 million.
Compensation of the Audit Committee
The members of our Audit Committee do not receive additional compensation other than that received for their services as members of our board of directors.
Capitalization Program for our executive staff
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company developed the design of a capitalization program for its executive staff consisting in contributions made by both the employees and the Company.
Such program is intended for certain employees selected by the Company that it wishes to retain by increasing employee total compensation by means of an extraordinary reward in so far as certain requirements are fulfilled.
The payment of contributions into the plan and participation therein are voluntary. Once the intended beneficiary accepts to take part in the plan, he/she may make two types of contributions: a monthly contribution based on his/her salary and an extraordinary contribution, based on his/her annual bonus. It is suggested that contributions should be of up to 2.5% of salaries and of up to 7.5% of the annual bonus. And then there is the contribution payable by the Company which shall amount to 200% of the monthly contributions and of 300% of the extraordinary contributions made by the employees.
The funds resulting from the contributions made by the participants are transferred to an independent financial vehicle, specially created and situated in Argentina in the form of a mutual fund with the approval of the CNV. These funds can be freely redeemed at the request of participants.
The funds resulting from the contributions made by both companies are transferred to another independent financial vehicle, separate from the one previously mentioned.
In the future, the participants shall have access to 100% of the benefits under the plan (that is, including the contributions made by the Company for the benefit of the employees into the financial vehicle specially created) in any of the following circumstances:
·
|
ordinary retirement as prescribed by labor law
|
·
|
total or permanent disability, and
|
In case of resignation or termination without good cause, the participant may redeem the amounts contributed by us only if he or she has participated in the Plan for at least 5 years and if certain conditions have been fulfilled.
During this fiscal year, the Company has made contributions to the plan for Ps. 105,402.
Mid and Long Term Incentive Program
Our Shareholders’ Meetings, held on October 31, 2011, October 30, 2012 and October 29, 2013 ratified the resolutions achieved in connection with (i) the implementation of the allocation of an amount equal to 1% of our outstanding capital to be implemented through an incentive plan addressed to certain of our employees (the “Plan”), and (ii) the delegated powers into our Board of Directors to implement such Plan, among other situations.
The Company has developed a mid and long-term incentive and retention stock program for its management team and key employees under which contributions in shares of the Company are made by the Company. The amount of shares contributed for each participant employee is determined on the basis of their annual bonus for years 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Company shall use treasury shares to make the contributions under this program.
The beneficiaries under the Plan are invited to participate by the Board of Directors and their decision to access the Plan is voluntary. The program stipulates the possibility of providing an extraordinary reward consisting of freely available shares payable on a single opportunity in 2014 which would also be determined on the basis of each participant´s annual bonus.
In the future, the Participants or their successors in interest will have access to 100% of the benefit (the shares of CRESUD contributed by the Company) in the following cases:
• if an employee resigns or is dismissed for no cause, he or she will be entitled to the benefit only if 5 years have elapsed from the moment of each contribution,
• retirement,
• total or permanent disability,
• death.
In accordance with the new Capital Markets law (as define below), it is required that all of the incentive plans for managers related to shares should be approved by the Comision Nacional de Valores. Thus the Company has made all required filings. Currently the Company is analyzing certain changes to the program as originally structured.
Benefits upon Termination of Employment
There are no contracts providing for benefits to directors upon termination of employment, other than those described under the following sections: (i) Item 6 “Directors, Senior Management and Employees – B. Compensation – Capitalization Plan and (ii) Item 6 “Directors, Senior Management and Employees – B. Compensation – Mid and Long Term Incentive Program.
Audit Committee
Management uses the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Report”) to assess effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
The COSO Report sets forth that internal control is a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the entity’s objectives in the following categories:
·
|
Effectiveness and efficiency of operations
|
·
|
Reliability of financial reporting
|
·
|
Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
|
Based on the above, a company’s internal control system involves all levels of the company actively involved in exercising control:
·
|
the board of directors, by establishing the objectives, principles and values, setting the tone at the top and making the overall assessment of results;
|
·
|
the management of each area is responsible for internal control in relation to objectives and activities of the relevant area, i.e. the implementation of policies and procedures to achieve the results of the area and, therefore, those of the entity as a whole;
|
·
|
the other personnel plays a role in exercising control, by generating information used in the control system or taking action to ensure control.
|
In accordance with the Capital Markets Law and the Rules of the CNV, our board of directors has established an audit committee which would focus on assisting the board in exercising its duty of care, compliance with disclosure requirements, the enforcement of accounting policies, the management of our business risks, the management of our internal control systems, ethical conduct of our businesses, monitoring the sufficiency of our financial statements, our compliance with the laws, independence and capacity of independent auditors and performance of audit duties both by our company and our external auditors.
On November 3, 2008, our board of directors appointed Jorge Oscar Fernández, Pedro Damaso Labaqui Palacio, and Daniel Elías Mellicovsky, all of them independent members, as members of the audit committee. The board of directors named Jorge Oscar Fernández as the financial expert in accordance with the relevant SEC rules. We have a fully independent audit committee as per the standards provided in Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1).
Remuneration Committee
There is no remuneration committee.

In November 2005, Alto Palermo granted Fundación Museo de los Niños the right to use approximately 2,670 square meters of constructed area in the Shopping Rosario free of charge for a 30-year period.
Fundación IRSA is a charitable, non-profit organization whose Chairman is Eduardo S. Elsztain and whose Secretary, is Mariana Carmona de Elsztain, Mr. Elsztain’s wife. Our Chairman Eduardo S. Elsztain is also the Chairman of IRSA. Fundación IRSA has used the available area to house a museum called “Museo de los Niños, Abasto,” an interactive learning center for both children and adults which was opened to the public in April 1999. On September 27, 1999 Fundación IRSA assigned and transferred at no cost, the Museo de los Niños, Abasto’s total rights and obligations to Fundación Museo de los Niños.
Fundación Museo de los Niños is a charitable non-profit organization created by the same founders of Fundación IRSA and has the same members of the administration committee as Fundación IRSA. Fundación Museo de los Niños acts as special vehicle for the developments of “Museo de los Niños, Abasto” and “Museo de los Niños, Rosario.” On October 29, 1999, our shareholders approved the assignment of “Museo de los Niños, Abasto” agreement to Fundación Museo de los Niños.

Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services between us, IRSA and APSA
Considering that IRSA and Cresud have operating areas which are somewhat similar, the Board of Directors deemed it advisable to implement alternatives aimed at reducing certain fixed costs of its activities and to lessen their impact on operating results while seizing and optimizing the individual efficiencies of each of them in the different areas comprising the management of operations.
In this regard, on June 30, 2004, we, IRSA and APSA entered into an agreement for the exchange of corporate services, which was amended on August 23, 2007, August 14, 2008, November 27, 2009, March 12, 2010, July 11, 2011, October 15, 2012, November 12, 2013 and February 24, 2014.
The agreement for the exchange of corporate services among IRSA, APSA and us, currently provides for the exchange of services among the following areas: Human Resources, Finance, Institutional Relationships, Administration and Control, Insurance, Contracts, Technical, Infrastructure and Services, Purchases, Architecture and Design and Development and Works Department, real estate, hotels, Board of Directors, Board of Directors of the Real Estate Business, General Management Department, Security, Audit Committee, Real Estate Administration, Human Resources of the Real Estate Business, Fraud Prevention, Internal Audit, Administration of the Agribusiness Investments.
The exchange of services consists in the provision of services for value in relation to any of the aforementioned areas by one or more of the parties to the agreement for the benefit of the other party or parties, which are invoiced and paid primarily by an offset against the services provided by any of the areas and, secondarily, in case of a difference between the value of the services rendered, in cash.
Under said agreement the companies have entrusted to an external consultant the review and evaluation, on a semiannual basis, of the criteria applied in the corporate service settlement process and of the distribution bases and supporting documentation used in such process, through the issuance of a semiannual report.
On March 12, 2010, an amendment to the agreement for the exchange of corporate services was entered into to simplify issues originating from the consolidation of financial statements as a result of the increase in our equity interest in APSA. As a result, certain employment agreements of APSA´s and IRSA´s corporate employees were transferred to us.
Later, as consequence of the ongoing process of generating the most efficient distribution of corporate resources among the different areas, on February 24, 2014, a new amendment to the agreement was entered by virtue of which the parties agree to transfer to IRSA and APSA the employments agreements of the corporate employees that develop exclusively in the real estate business. The labor costs of the employees will continue to be distributed in accordance with the terms of the agreement for the exchange of corporate services, as amended.
In the future and in order to continue with the policy of generating the most efficient distribution of corporate resources among the different areas, this agreement may be extended to other areas shared by us with IRSA and APSA.
In spite of the above, we, APSA and IRSA continue to be independent as regards the execution of their business and strategic decisions. Costs and benefits are allocated on the basis of operating efficiency and fairness without pursuing economic benefits for the companies.

The offer to IFISA included the possibility for them to take the credit completely or partially at any moment, to ask either for the Global Depositary Shares of IRSA or for ordinary equity, and to lower the spread over Libor rate from 150 bps to 50 bps.

We entered into a master agreement for the performance of dollar-denominated forward transactions with Banco Hipotecario.

Such transactions are settled in cash by paying the difference between the Agreed Price and the quoted price of the US dollar on the settlement date.

Cactus Argentina
The Judge of the Petty Offenses Court of the City of Villa Mercedes issued decision No. 2980/08 related to the situation of Cactus in that city whereby it ordered the company to discontinue its activities and move its premises located in provincial highway “2B” within a term of 36 months.
Cactus should have not more than 18,500 head of cattle within such 36-month term.
An appeal against the said decision was filed before the Municipality but such appeal was dismissed on April 7, 2009 by Executive Branch Decree No. 0662/09, thus confirming the decision of the Petty Offenses Court. According to the procedures followed by the administrative courts of the City of Villa Mercedes, Cactus should discontinue its activities and move its premises by April 7, 2012.
In response Cactus has filed an appeal with the Superior Court of the Province of San Luis, challenging the legality of the decisions rendered by the Petty Offenses Court of the City of Villa Mercedes. This submission was rejected by the Superior Court and against that decision Cactus filed a constitutional complaint, which at the date of issuance of these financial statements, is still pending.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is implementing a plan of activities to improve the relationship with the community of the city of Villa Mercedes and strengthen the position of the company as a valued member of the socio-economic community in the region with the ultimate goal of getting the moving to be reconsidered by the municipal authorities.
As part of this strategy, in January 27, 2012, Cactus made a presentation with the Municipality of Villa Mercedes in which, among other things, apprised the activities developed by Cactus, the peculiarities and the economic and social importance of Cactus ´ activities and the particularities, complexities and limits of the potencial moving. This presentation, received by the Municipality of Villa Mercedes was forwarded promptly to the Petty Offenses Court, in order to them to take cognizance. Additionally in December 2012, Cactus made the presentation of necessary documents for the renovation of the municipal authorization.
Subsequently, on November 13, 2013 and in order to extend the previous presentations, the company applied for the suspension of execution of sentence and the granting of authorization to operate until December 2015 with reduced capacity, while relevant efforts were made. Given the lack of response from the Municipality of Villa Mercedes, in the month of January 2014, the request was reiterated in order to get a response
On June 10, 2014, Cactus was notified of the resolution definitely rejecting the request of the company.

Exagrind S.A. has filed a lawsuit against our subsidiary IGSA (merged with us) to recover damages and losses produced by a fire in Estancia San Rafael which is close to “Tali Sumaj,” Province of Catamarca. The fire took place on September 6, 2000. The estimated amount of the legal action is Ps.2.9 million at the date the claim was filed.
IGSA (merged with us) argued that Exagrind’s claim was incorrectly processed and requested that the first instance judge order a new notice of processed, which request was granted by the judge. Exagrind successfully appealed such decision. IGSA (merged with us) filed subsequent appeals requesting to be given the remainder of the legal term to answer the lawsuit, since at the time of Exagrind’s appeal the legal term, had not yet expired; such appeals were rejected by both first and second instance courts, ending with an appeal to the Supreme Court of the Province of Catamarca. The Supreme Court of Catamarca ruling was favourable, which enabled us to reply the claim duly and timely. As of the date of this annual report the stage to present evidence has been concluded.
Additionally, in March 2007, under the request of Exagrind S.A., the court in charge of the case ordered a general inhibition of IGSA’s assets. In June 2007, that measure was revoked and replaced by an attachment on the real estate.
It should be noted that during the fiscal year 2010, a the title deed for the sale of such establishment was executed and because as of the date of this annual report the attachmentin-aid-of-execution had not been lifted, we assumed certain obligations and provided a surety insurance to guarantee the obligation on behalf of the purchaser. We have registered a prevision of the amount of Ps. 1.5 million.
Other Litigation
On June 30, 2009 Cactus Feeders, Helmir and we subscribed a stock purchase agreement, whereby Cactus Feeders Inc. transferred to us and Helmir, which is controlled indirectly by our shares of Cactus Argentina. Moreover on July 7, 2009, the economic concentration was notified to the Antitrust Authority. On October 28, 2010 the Antitrust Authority authorized the transaction. On October 23, 2013, the transaction was approved subject to the compliance of a condition which was fulfilled, and on March 17, 2014, the Antitrust Authority granted the authorization.
On December, 2010 the shareholders of Cactus requested the Antitrust Authority an opinion regarding the structure resulting of an increase in the capital of Cactus Argentina S.A. and a new shareholders’ agreement. The Antitrust Authority issued an opinion stating that the transaction has to be notified for its authorization. On November, 2011 Cactus and Provemex filed a notification with the Antitrust Authority.
Through Resolution No. 16,344 dated June 17, 2010 the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores, referred to hereinafter as "CNV") commenced a summary proceeding against the members of our board of directors, our audit committee members and our supervisory committee members (all of them at that time, including among others Eduardo S. Elsztain), alleging formal irregularities in our Corporate Books, such as among others, the failure to include certain signatures in the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book, Minutes of the Board of Directors Book and Minutes of the Audit Committee Book, all of which were duly rectified as requested by the CNV, and the omission of the publication in the Autopista de Información Financiera of the CNV (publication system for the CNV) of a Board of Directors minute, arising from the investigation carried out by the CNV in November 2008.
Our response to the CNV’s allegations containing the arguments for the defense was filed in July 2010, and the first hearing was held in February 2011. In October 2013, the CNV absolved us, the members of our board of directors, our audit committee members and our supervisory committee members, from the alleged violation related to the omission of the publication in the Autopista de Información Financiera of the CNV of a Board of Directors’ minute. However, the CNV decided to impose a fine of Ps. 200,000 to us as a result of the aforementioned formal irregularities detected in our Corporate Books. The violations identified by CNV were of a ministerial nature and the alleged violations were considered immaterial, as reflected in the amount of the fine imposed (Ps. 200,000 equivalent to US$ 33,582). Even though the fine was paid, in November 2013, we appealed the CNV resolution, which is still ongoing in the Court Room No. III of the National Chamber of Appeals in Federal Administrative Procedure (Sala III de la Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Contencioso Administrativo Federal).
IRSA’s and Alto Palermo’s legal or arbitration proceedings
Set forth below is a description of certain material legal proceedings to which IRSA is a party. IRSA is not engaged in any other material litigation or arbitration and no other material litigation or claim is known to IRSA to be pending or threatened against it or its subsidiaries. Nevertheless, IRSA may be involved in other litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business.
Puerto Retiro
On November 18, 1997, in connection with IRSA´s acquisition of their subsidiary Inversora Bolívar, they indirectly acquired 35.2% of the capital stock of Puerto Retiro. Inversora Bolívar had purchased such common shares of Puerto Retiro from Redona Investments Ltd. N.V. in 1996. In 1999, IRSA, through Inversora Bolívar, increased our interest in Puerto Retiro to 50.0% of its capital stock. On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro received notice of a complaint filed by the Argentine government, through the Ministry of Defense, seeking to extend the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Upon filing of the complaint, the bankruptcy court issued an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro to dispose of, in any manner, the real property it had purchased in 1993 from Tandanor. Puerto Retiro appealed the restraining order which was confirmed by the Court on December 14, 2000.
In 1991, Indarsa had purchased 90% of Tandanor, a former goverment-owned company, which owned a piece of land near Puerto Madero of approximately 8 hectares, divided into two parcels: Planta 1 and 2. After the purchase of Tandanor by Indarsa, in June 1993, Tandanor sold “Planta 1” to Puerto Retiro, for a sum of US$18 million pursuant to a valuation performed by J.L. Ramos, a well-known real estate brokerage firm in Argentina. Indarsa failed to pay to the Argentine government the price for its purchase of the stock of Tandanor, and as a result the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Since the only asset of Indarsa was its holding in Tandanor, the Argentine government is seeking to extend Indarsa’s bankruptcy to other companies or individuals which, according to its view, acted as a single economic group. In particular, the Argentine government has requested the extension of Indarsa’s bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro which acquired Planta 1 from Tandanor.
The deadline for producing evidence in relation to these legal proceedings has expired. The parties have submitted their closing arguments and are awaiting a final judgment. However, the judge has delayed his decision until a final judgment in the criminal proceedings against the former Defense Minister and former directors of Indarsa has been delivered. It should be noticed, regarding the abovementioned criminal procedure, that on February 23, 2011 it was resolved to declare its expiration, and to dismiss certain defendants. However, this resolution is not final because it was appealed. We cannot give you any assurance that we will prevail in this proceeding, and if the plaintiff’s claim is upheld by the courts, all of the assets of Puerto Retiro would likely be used to pay Indarsa’s debts and our investment in Puerto Retiro, would be lost. As of June 30, 2014, IRSA had not established any reserve with respect of this contingency.
Legal issues with the City Hall of Neuquén
In June 2001, Shopping Neuquén requested that the City of Neuquén allow it to transfer certain parcels of land to third parties so that each participant in the commercial development to be constructed would be able to build on its own land. Neuquén´s Executive Branch previously rejected this request under Executive Branch Decree No. 1437/2002 which also established the expiration of the rights arising from Ordinance 5178, including the loss of any improvement and expenses incurred. As a result, Shopping Neuquén had no right to claim indemnity charges and annulled its buy-sell land contracts.
Shopping Neuquén submitted a written appeal to this decision on January 21, 2003. It also sought permission to submit a revised schedule of time terms, taking account of the current situation and including reasonable short and medium term projections. Neuquén´s Executive Branch rejected this request in their Executive Branch Decree 585/2003. Consequently, on June 25, 2003, Shopping Neuquén filed an “Administrative Procedural Action” with the High Court of Neuquén requesting, among other things, the annulment of Executive Branch Decrees 1,437/2002 and 585/2003 issued by the City Executive Branch. On December 21, 2004, the High Court of Neuquén communicated its decision that the administrative procedural action that Shopping Neuquén had filed against the City of Neuquén had expired. Shopping Neuquén filed an extraordinary appeal for the case to be sent to the Argentine Supreme Court.
On December 13, 2006, Shopping Neuquén signed an agreement with both the City and the Province of Neuquén stipulating a new timetable for construction of the commercial and housing enterprises (the “Agreement”). Also, Shopping Neuquén was permitted to transfer certain parcels to third parties so that each participant in the commercial development to be constructed would be able to build on its own land, with the exception of the land in which the shopping center will be constructed. The Legislative Council of the City of Neuquén duly ratified the Agreement. The City Executive Branch promulgated the ordinance issued on February 12, 2007.
The Agreement also provided that Shopping Neuquén submit, within 120 days after the Agreement was signed, a new urban project draft with an adjustment of the environmental impact survey, together with a map of the property subdivision, which the City of Neuquén would approve or disapprove within 30 days after its presentation. If the project was approved, Shopping Neuquén would submit the final maps of the works to the City of Neuquén within 150 days of this decision.
The Agreement put an end to the lawsuit of Shopping Neuquén against the City of Neuquén before the High Court of Neuquén, in which the only pending issue was the determination of the City of Neuquén attorneys’ that were to be borne by of Shopping Neuquén. As the date of their annual report Shopping Neuquén came to an agreement or paid all of the City´s lawyers but one, with whom the amount of the pending fees are being contested in Court.
The City of Neuquén approved Shopping Neuquén’s project plans on April 8, 2010, On June 4, 2012, the City of Neuquén and Shopping Neuquén entered into a new agreement by which the modification for the project of the Shopping Center was approved and a new timetable agreed upon for the completion of the work related to it. Later, on May 22, 2014 the parties modified the aforementioned agreement to specify that the work for the Shopping Center should be finished by Shopping Neuquén within six months counted as from September 17, 2014.
Arcos del Gourmet
In December 2011, we started to develop, through our subsidiary Arcos, the “Arcos” project located in the neighborhood of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires. On December 10, 2013, Administrative and Tax Contentious Court of Appeal of the City of Buenos Aires ratified an injunction that suspends the opening of the shopping center on the grounds that it has failed to obtain certain government permits. Despite the fact that the construction has all government permits in place, we have filed an appeal against the decision and have requested that the injunction be lifted, with favorable expectations. In such sense, on April 10, 2014, the government of the City of Buenos Aires issued a new environmental compliance certificate. The plaintiff appealed this decision and the file has been placed on the Court of Appeal since September 23, 2014.
On the other hand, in one of the two judicial processes (actions intended to protect constitutional rights) currently being heard, the Court of Appeals referred above confirmed the decision rendered by the lower court whereby the action was abated, as per notice served upon us on September 1, 2014. This means the process has concluded with the decision being favorable to us. As to the other judicial process, on August 29, 2014 the lower court rendered a decision rejecting the case on August 29, 2014.
Other Litigation
As of July 5, 2006, the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (“AFIP”) filed a preliminary injunction with the Federal Court for Administrative Proceedings against APSA for an aggregate amount of Ps.3.7 million, plus an added amount, provisionally estimated, of Ps.0.9 million for legal fees and interest. The main dispute is about the income tax due for admission rights. In the first instance, AFIP pleaded for a general restraining order. On November 29, 2006, the Federal Court issued an order substituting such restraining order for an attachment on the parcel of land located in Caballito neighborhood, City of Buenos Aires, where Alto Palermo is planning to develop a shopping center. As of June 30, 2011, under court proceedings, the building was subject to a legal attachment for Ps. 36.8 million. On December 12, 2012, the legal attachment was lifted and accredited in the file concerned in February 2013.
After IRSA sold the Edificio Costeros, dique II, on November 20, 2009, IRSA requested an opinion to the Argentine Antitrust Authority as to whether it was necessary to report this transaction. The Argentine Antitrust Authoriry advise us that it was required to notify the transaction. IRSA challenged this decision, but it was confirmed. On December 5, 2011, IRSA notified the transaction and on April 30, 2013 the transaction was approved by the Argentine Antitrust Authority by Resolution No. 38.
IRSA filed a new request for the Argentine Antitrust Authority’s opinion regarding its acquisition of Bank Boston Tower on August 30, 2007. The Argentine Antitrust Authority advised us that IRSA were in fact required to report the transaction and the competent court ratified such decision. On November 3, 2010, the transaction was filed with the Argentine Antitrust Authority. On November 10, 2011 the transaction was authorized.
On January 15, 2007 IRSA were notified of two claims filed against us before the Argentine Antitrust Authority, one by a private individual and the other one by the licensee of the shopping center, both opposing the acquisition from the province of Córdoba of a property known as Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos. On February 1, 2007 IRSA responded the claims. On June 26, 2007, the Argentine Antitrust Authority notified us that it has initiated a summary proceeding to determine whether the completion of the transaction breaches the Antitrust Law. As of the date of this filing the result of this proceeding has not been determined.
On December 3, 2009, Alto Palermo filed a request for the Argentine Antitrust Authority’s opinion regarding Alto Palermo’s acquisition of common shares of Arcos del Gourmet S.A. The Argentine Antitrust Authority advised the parties that the transaction has to be notified. On December, 2010 the transaction was filed with the Argentine Antitrust Authority. As of the date of this annual report, the decision of the Argentine Antitrust Authority is still pending.
On April 11, 2011, Quality Invest requested the Argentine Antitrust Authority opinion regarding Quality’s acquisition Property of a warehouse owned by Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y F. located in San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires. The Argentine Antitrust Authority stated that there was an obligation to notify the situation, but Quality Invest filed an appeal against this decision. Subsequently, the Court of Appeals confirmed the Argentine Antitrust Authorities' decision regarding the obligation to notify and, therefore, on February 23, 2012, the transaction was filed. As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine Antitrust Authority is analyzing this decision.
On august 23, 2011, Alto Palermo S.A. notified the Argentine Antitrust Authority the direct and indirect adquisition of common shares of Nuevo Puerto Santa Fé S.A., the transaction involved the direct acquisition of 33.33% of NPSF and 16.66% through its controlled vehicle Torodur S.A. As of the date of this annual report the transaction is being analyzed by the Argentine Antitrust Authority.
On June 16, 2012, IRSA sold to Cabaña Don Francisco S.A. certain Costeros Dique IV´s functional units, to be used for office space, and complementary units to be used for parking. In addition, IRSA assigned upon the purchaser all rights and interests arising from lease agreements involving the conveyed units. As a result, an advisory opinion was requested from the Argentine Antitrust Authority as to the need to report such transaction. The Argentine Antitrust Authority resolved that the transaction was exempt from report on May 21, 2014.
On December 7, 2012, IRSA filed with the Argentine Antitrust Authority the adquisition of EHSA, which has the beneficial ownership of 50% of La Rural S.A That company runs an exposition center known as Predio Ferial de Palermo. As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine Antitrust Authority is analyzing the transaction.
Through the issuance of Resolution No. 16,521 dated February 17, 2011 the CNV commenced a summary proceeding against the members of IRSA´s board of directors and its supervisory committee members (all of them at that time, including among others Eduardo S. Elsztain), alleging certain formal errors in the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book, specifically the failure by the Company to comply with certain formalities in the presentation of a table included in the Memoria (Annual Report); arising from an investigation carried out by the CNV in October 2010. Applicable law requires that the corrections of any errors in the Annual Report include a legend identifying each error and the way in which it was corrected, including insertion of the holographic signature from the chairman of the board. In this case, IRSA first corrected the mistake and after the request from the CNV included the legend and the holographic signature of the chairman, required by the relevant formalities.
IRSA´s response to the CNV’s allegations containing the arguments for the defense was filed in March 2011 and the first hearing was held in May 2011. In April, 2013, the CNV imposed (as a result of the aforementioned alleged charge) a fine on the members of IRSA´s board of directors and its supervisory committee members. The fine imposed by the CNV amounts to Ps. 270,000 equivalent to US$ 49,632 and it was imposed to IRSA and the members of the board together. The amount of the fine demonstrates the immaterial nature of the alleged violations. Even though the fine was paid, in April 2013, IRSA appealed such resolution, which is still ongoing in Court Room No. IV of the National Chamber of Appeals in Federal Administrative Procedures (Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Contencioso Administrativo Federal).

C. MARKETS
Argentine Securities Markets
In December 2012 the Argentine government has enacted a new Capital Markets Law, which sets out the rules to govern capital markets, its players, and the securities traded therein subject to the CNV regulation and monitoring.
On September 5, 2013, the CNV has enacted the Standards of the Comisión Nacional de Valores, by virtue of which it regulates the new provisions of the Capital Markets Law for issuers of securities, in regard to the initial public offering and reporting duties.
Almost all the provisions of the former Executive branch Decree No. 677/2011 (the “Transparency Decree”) have been incorporated in the Capital Market Law and in the Standards of the Comisión Nacional de Valores. The Capital Market Law provides rules and provisions guided by the following goals and principles:
·
|
Promoting the participation of small investors, union associations, industry groups and trade associations, professional associations and all public savings entities in the capital market, particularly encouraging mechanisms designed to promote domestic savings and channel such funds towards the development of production;
|
·
|
Strengthening mechanisms for the protection of and prevention of abuses against small investors for the protection of consumers’ rights;
|
·
|
Promoting access of small and medium-sized companies to the capital market;
|
·
|
Fostering the creation of a federally integrated capital market through mechanisms designed to achieve an interconnection of computer systems from different trading markets, with the use of state-of-the-art technology;
|
·
|
Encouraging simpler trading procedures available to users to attain greater liquidity and competitiveness in order to provide the most favorable conditions for the implementation of transactions.
|
The CNV is a self-administered agency of the Argentine Government with jurisdiction covering the territory of Argentina, governed by the provisions contained in Capital Market Law, and the Standards of the Comisión Nacional de Valores among other related statutory regulations. The relationship of the CNV and the Argentine Executive is maintained through the Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas Públicas (Ministry of Economy and Public Finance), which shall hear any appeals filed against decisions made by the CNV, notwithstanding any other legal actions and remedies contemplated in the Capital Market Law.
The CNV supervises and regulates the authorized markets in which the securities and the collective investment products are traded, the corporations authorized in the public offer regime, and all the other players authorized to operate in the public offer regime, as the registered agents, the trading agents, the financial advisors, the underwriters and distributors, the brokers, the settlement and clearing agents, the managers of collective investment products, the custodians of collective investment products, the collective depositories, and the risk rating agencies, among others. Argentine institutional investors and insurance companies are regulated by separate government agencies, whereas financial institutions are regulated mainly by the Argentine Central Bank.
Before offering securities to the public in Argentina, an issuer must meet certain requirements established by the CNV with regard to the issuer’s assets, operating history and management. Only securities approved for a public offering by the CNV may be listed on a stock exchange. However, CNV approval does not imply any kind of certification as to the quality of the securities or the solvency of the issuer, even though issuers of listed securities are required to file unaudited quarterly financial statements and audited annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS (excluding financial institutions under the supervision of the Argentine Central Bank, insurance companies under the supervision of the Insurance Superintendence and medium and small enterprises) and various other periodic reports with the CNV and the stock exchange on which their securities are listed, as well as to report to the CNV and the relevant stock exchange any event related to the issuer and its shareholders that may affect materially the value of the securities traded.
In Argentina, debt and equity securities traded on an exchange must, unless otherwise instructed by their shareholders, be deposited with a Central Securities Depository, in Argentina. Currently the only depositary authorized to act in accordance with the Capital Market Law and Standards of the Comisión Nacional de Valores is Caja de Valores S.A. a corporation owned by the BASE, the Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires (the “MERVAL”) and certain provincial exchange, and provides central depositary facilities, as well as acting as a clearinghouse for securities trading and as a transfer and paying agent for securities transactions.
Before the enactment of the Capital Markets Law and the Standards of the Comisión Nacional de Valores there were 12 securities exchanges in Argentina, which were located in the City of Buenos Aires, Bahía Blanca, Chaco, Corrientes, Córdoba, La Plata, La Rioja, Mendoza, Rosario, Salta, Santa Fe, and Tucumán. Six of these exchanges (the BASE, Rosario, Córdoba, La Rioja, Mendoza, and Santa Fe) had affiliated stock markets in accordance with the requirements of Law No. 17,811 which was derogated by the Capital Marets Law.
Pursuant to the new Capital Markets Law, the CNV has authorized 9 stock markets since September 2014, which are: Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A., Mercado a Término de Buenos Aires S.A., Mercado a Término de Rosario S.A., Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A., Mercado de Valores de Córdoba S.A., Mercado de Valores de Mendoza S.A., Mercado de Valores de Rosario S.A., Mercado de Valores del Litoral S.A. and Mercado Federal de Valores S.A.
The principal exchange for the Argentine securities market under the previous legislation was the BASE. Under the new Capital Markets Law the BASE has been authorized to operate as qualified entity, under the appointment of the MERVAL. As a result of the foregoing, we estimate that the MERVAL will be the principal exchange market in Argentina in which the securities will be listed.
The MERVAL is a corporation consisting of 134 shareholders who used to be the sole and exclusive individuals or entities authorized to trade in the BASE, either as principals or agents, before Law. 26.831 became into force. Since then, all agents registered and authorized to act as intermediaries by the CNV will be able to trade in any securities exchange, including the BASE as long as they obtain a membership of such stock exchange, not applying any longer the requirements to be a shareholder of such stock exchange.
The securities that may be listed on the MERVAL are: Stocks, Corporate Bonds, Convertible Corporate Bonds, Close-ended Investment Funds, Financial Trust, Indexes, Derivatives and Public Bonds. The MERVAL is legally qualified for admission, suspension, and delisting of securities according to its own rules approved by the CNV. Furthermore, the MERVAL works very closely with the CNV in surveillance activities.
Another relevant exchange of the securities market in Argentina is the Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. (“MAE”), which was recently authorized to operate by the CNV under the new regulations of the Capital Markets Law. The MAE works as an electronic platform to process Over the Counter transactions. It is an electronic exchange where both government securities and corporate bonds are traded through spot and forward contracts.
MAE brokers/dealers members, include national banks, provincial banks, municipal banks, private national banks, foreign banks, cooperative banks, financial institutions, foreign exchange entities and pure brokers/dealers (exclusively engaged in brokerage activities). Both Argentine or foreign capital banks and financial institutions may be the MAE’s brokers/dealers. Securities to be traded must be registered with the pertinent supervising authorities and may be traded in the MAE, in other exchanges or in both of them concurrently.
Argentina’s equity markets have historically been composed of individual investors, though in recent years there has been an increase in the level of investment by banks and insurance companies in these markets; however, Argentine mutual funds (fondos comunes de inversión) continue to have very low participation.

As of June 30, 2014, approximately 104 companies had equity securities listed on the BASE.
The Argentine securities markets are substantially more volatile than the securities markets in the United States and certain other developed countries. The MERVAL experienced a 29.22% decrease in 2011, a 15.9% increase in 2012, a 4.27% increase in 2013, a 52.9% accumulated increase in the first six months of 2014 . In order to control price volatility, the MERVAL operates a system pursuant to which the negotiation of a particular stock or debt security is suspended for a 15 minute period when the price of the security registers a variation on its price between 10% and 15% and between 15% and 20%. Any additional 5% variation on the price of the security after that results in additional 10 minute successive suspension periods.

B. MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Our Corporate Purpose
Our legal name is Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria. We were incorporated under the laws of Argentina on December 31, 1936 as a sociedad anónima (Stock Corporation) and were registered with Public Registry of Commerce on February 19, 1937 under number 26, on page 2, book 45 of National by-laws Volume. Pursuant to our by-laws, our term of duration expires on June 6, 2082.
Pursuant to article 4 of our by-laws our purpose is to perform the following activities:
• commercial activities with respect to cattle and products pertaining to farming and animal husbandry;
• real estate activities with respect to urban and rural properties;
• financial activities, except for those regulated by Law No. 21,526 of financial entities;
• farming and animal husbandry activities, for properties owned by us or by third parties; and
• agency and advice activities for which there is not required a specific qualifying title.
Limited Liability
Shareholders’ liability for losses is limited to their equity interes in us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the Argentine Corporation Law No. 19,550, shareholders who voted in favor of a resolution that is subsequently declared void by a court as contrary to Argentine law or a company’s by-laws (or regulation, if any) my be held jointly and severally liable for damages to such company, other shareholders or third parties resulting from such resolution. In addition, a shareholder who votes on a business transaction in which the shareholder’s interest conflicts with that of the company may be liable for damages under the Argentine companies’ law, but only if the transaction would not have been validly approved without such shareholder’s vote.
Capitalization
We may increase our share capital upon authorization by our shareholders at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting. Capital increases must be registered with the public registry of commerce referred to as the Registro Publico de Comercio, and published in the Boletín Oficial. Capital reductions may be voluntary or mandatory and must be approved by the shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria). Reductions in capital are mandatory when losses have depleted reserves and exceed 50% of capital. As of june 30, 2014 our share capital consisted of 501,562,730 common shares.
Our bylaws provide that preferred stock may be issued when authorized by the shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) and in accordance with applicable regulations. Such preferred stock may have a fixed cumulative dividend, with or without additional participation in our profits, resolved by the shareholders’ meetings. We currently do not have outstanding preferred stock.
Preemptive Rights and Increases of Share Capital
Pursuant to our by-laws and Argentine Corporation Law No. 19,550, in the event of an increase in our share capital, each of our existing holders of our common shares has a preemptive right to subscribe for new common shares in proportion to such holder’s share ownership. For any shares of a class not preempted by any holder of that class, the remaining holders of the class will be entitled to accretion rights based on the number of shares they purchased when they exercised their own preemptive rights. Rights and accretion rights must be exercised simultaneously within 30 days following the time in which notices to the shareholders of a capital increase and of the rights to subscribe thereto are published for three days in the Boletín Oficial and a widely circulated newspaper in Argentina. Pursuant to the Argentine Companies Law, such 30-day period may be reduced to 10 days by a decision of our shareholders adopted at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria).
Additionally, the Argentine Corporation Law permits shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) to suspend or limit the preemptive rights relating to the issuance of new shares in specific and exceptional cases in which the interest of we require such action and, additionally, under the following specific conditions:
• the issuance is expressly included in the list of matters to be addressed at the shareholders’ meeting; and
• the shares to be issued are to be paid in-kind or in exchange for payment under pre-existing obligations.
Furthermore, Article 12 of the Negotiable Obligations Law permits shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) to suspend preemptive subscription rights for the subscription of convertible bonds under the above-mentioned conditions. Preemptive rights may also be eliminated, so long as a resolution providing so has been approved by at least 50% of the outstanding capital stock with a right to decide such matters and so long as the opposition to such resolution does not surpass 5% of the share capital.
Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights
Our bylaws provide that shareholders’ meetings may be called by our board of directors or by our Supervisory Committee or at the request of the holders of shares representing no less than 5% of the common shares. Any meetings called at the request of shareholders must be held within 30 days after the request is made. Any shareholder may appoint any person as its duly authorized representative at a shareholders meeting, by granting a proxy. Co-owners of shares must have single representation.
In general, the following matters can be considered only at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria):
•
|
matters that may not be approved at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting;
|
•
|
the amendment of our bylaws;
|
•
|
reductions in our share capital;
|
•
|
redemption, reimbursement and amortization of our shares;
|
•
|
mergers, and other corporate changes, including dissolution and winding-up;
|
•
|
limitations or suspensions to preemptive rights to the subscription of the new shares; and
|
•
|
issuance of debentures, convertible negotiable obligations and bonds that not qualify as notes (obligaciones negociables).
|
In accordance with our by-laws, ordinary and special shareholders’ meetings (asamblea extraordinaria) are subject to a first and second quorum call, the second to occur upon the failure of the first. The first and second notice of ordinary shareholders’ meetings may be made simultaneously. In the event that both are made on the same day, the second must occur at least one hour after the first. If simultaneous notice was not given, the second notice must be given within 30 days after the failure to reach quorum at the first. Such notices must be given in compliance with applicable regulations.
A quorum for an ordinary shareholders’ meeting on the first call requires the presence of a number of shareholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote and, on the second call, the quorum consists of the number of shareholders present, whatever that number. Decisions at ordinary shareholders’ meetings must be approved by a majority of the votes validly exercised by the shareholders.
A quorum for an special shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) on the first call requires the presence of persons holding 60% of the shares entitled to vote and, on the second call, the quorum consists of the number of shareholders present, whatever that number. Decisions at special shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) generally must be approved by a majority of the votes validly exercised.
However, pursuant to the Argentine Companies Law, all shareholders’ meetings, whether convened on a first or second quorum call, require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares with right to vote in order to approve the following decisions:
•
|
advanced winding-up of the company;
|
•
|
transfer of the domicile of the company outside of Argentina;
|
•
|
fundamental change to the purpose of the company;
|
•
|
total or partial mandatory repayment by the shareholders of the paid-in capital; and
|
•
|
a merger or a spin-off, when our company will not be the surviving company.
|
Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share. Owners of common shares represented by ADRs exercise their voting rights through the ADR Depositary, who acts upon instructions received from such shareholders and, in the absence of instructions, votes in the same manner as our majority of the shareholders present in the shareholders’ meeting.
The holders of preferred stock may not be entitled to voting rights. However, in the event that no dividends are paid to such holders for their preferred stock, the holders of preferred stock are entitled to voting rights. Holders of preferred stock are also entitled to vote on certain special matters, such as a transformation of the corporate type, early dissolution, change to a foreign domicile, fundamental change in the corporate purposes, total or partial replacement of capital losses, mergers in which our company is not the surviving entity, and spin-offs. The same exemption will apply in the event the preferred stock is traded on any stock exchange and such trading is suspended or canceled.
Dividends and Liquidation Rights
The Argentine Companies Law establishes that the distribution and payment of dividends to shareholders is valid only if they result from realized and net earnings of the company pursuant to an annual balance sheet approved by the shareholders. Our board of directors submits our financial statements for the previous financial year, together with the reports of our Supervisory Committee, to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting. This meeting must be held by October 30 of each year to approve the financial statements and decide on the allocation of our net income for the year under review. The distribution, amount and payment of dividends, if any, must be approved by the affirmative vote of the majority of the present votes with right to vote at the meeting.
The shareholders’ meeting may authorize payment of dividends on a quarterly basis provided no applicable regulations are violated. In that case, all and each of the members of the board of directors and the supervisory committee will be jointly and severally unlimitedly liable for the refund of those dividends if, as of the end of the respective fiscal year, the realized and net earnings of the company are not sufficient to allow the payment of dividends.
When we declare and pay dividends on the common shares, the holders of our ADRs, each representing the right to receive ten ordinary shares, outstanding on the corresponding registration date, are entitled to receive the dividends due on the common shares underlying the ADRs, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement dated March 18, 1997 executed by and between us, The Bank of New York, as depositary and the eventual holders of ADRs. The cash dividends are to be paid in Pesos and, except under certain circumstances, are to be converted by the Depositary into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the conversion date and are to be paid to the holders of the ADRs net of any applicable fee on the dividend distribution, costs and conversion expenses, taxes and public charges. Since January 2002 and due to the devaluation of the Peso, the exchange rate for the dividends will occur at a floating market rate.
Our dividend policy is proposed from time to time by our board of directors and is subject to shareholders’ approval at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting. Declarations of dividends are based upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and future prospects, as well as restrictions under debt obligations and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors and our shareholders.
Dividends may be lawfully paid only out of our retained earnings determined by reference to the financial statements prepared in accordance with Argentine GAAP. In accordance with the Argentine Companies Law, net income is allocated in the following order: (i) 5% is retained in a legal reserve until the amount of such reserve equals 20% of the company’s outstanding capital; (ii) dividends on preferred stock or common shares or other amounts may be retained as a voluntary reserve, contingency reserve or new account, or (iii) for any other purpose as determined by the company’s shareholders at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting.
Our legal reserve is not available for distribution. Under the applicable regulations of the Comisión Nacional de Valores, dividends are distributed pro rata in accordance with the number of shares held by each holder within 30 days of being declared by the shareholders for cash dividends and within 90 days of approval in the case of dividends distributed as shares. The right to receive payment of dividends expires three years after the date on which they were made available to shareholders. The shareholders’ meeting may authorize payment of dividends on a quarterly basis provided no applicable regulations are violated. In such case, all and each of the members of the board of directors and the supervisory committee will be jointly and severally liable for the refund of those dividends if, at the end of the respective fiscal year, the realized and net earnings of the company are not sufficient to allow for the payment of dividends.
•
|
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, our assets are
|
•
|
to be applied to satisfy its liabilities; and
|
•
|
to be proportionally distributed among holders of preferred stock in accordance with the terms of the preferred stock. If any surplus remains, our shareholders are entitled to receive and share proportionally in all net assets available for distribution to our shareholders, subject to the order of preference established by our bylaws.
|
Approval of Financial Statements
Our fiscal year ends on June 30 of each year, after which we prepare an annual report which is presented to our board of directors and Supervisory Committee. The board of directors submits our financial statements for the previous financial year, together with the reports of our Supervisory Committee, to the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting, which must be held within 120 days of the close of our fiscal year, in order to approve our financial statements and determine our allocation of net income for such year. At least 20 days before the ordinary shareholders’ meeting, our annual report must be available for inspection at our principal office.
Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Exercise Their Appraisal Right
Whenever certain actions are approved at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) (such as the approval of a merger, a spin-off (except when the shares of the acquired company are publicly traded), a fundamental change of corporate purpose, a transformation from one type of corporation to another, a transfer of the domicile of our company outside of Argentina or, as a result of the action approved, the shares cease to be publicly traded) any shareholder dissenting from the adoption of any such resolution may withdraw from our company and receive the book value per share determined on the basis of our latest financial statements, whether completed or to be completed, provided that the shareholder exercises its appraisal rights within ten days following the shareholders’ meeting at which the resolution was adopted.
In addition, to have appraisal rights, a shareholder must have voted against such resolution or act within 15 days following the shareholders’ meeting if the shareholder was absent and can prove that he was a shareholder of record on the day of the shareholders meeting. Appraisal rights are extinguished with respect to a given resolution if such resolution is subsequently overturned at another shareholders’ meeting held within 75 days of the previous meeting at which the original resolution was adopted. Payment on the appraisal rights must be made within one year of the date of the shareholders’ meeting at which the resolution was adopted, except where the resolution involved a decision that our stock ceases to be publicly traded, in which case the payment period is reduced to 60 days from the date of the resolution.
Ownership Restrictions
The Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”) regulations require that transactions that cause a person’s holdings of capital stock of a registered Argentine company, to hold 5% or more of the voting power, should be immediately notified to the CNV. Thereafter, every change in the holdings that represents a multiple of 5% of the voting power should also be notified.
Directors, senior managers, executive officers, members of the supervisory committee, and controlling shareholders of an Argentine company whose securities are publicly listed, should notify the CNV on a monthly basis, of their beneficial ownership of shares, debt securities, and call and put options related to securities of such companies and their controlling, controlled or affiliated companies.
Holders of more than 50% of the common shares of a company or who otherwise have voting control of a company, as well as directors, officers and members of the supervisory committee, must provide the CNV with annual reports setting forth their holdings in the capital stock of such companies and monthly reports of any change in their holdings.
Tender Offers
Tender offers under Argentine law may be voluntary or mandatory. In either case, the offer must be made addressed to all shareholders. In the case of a mandatory tender offer, the offer must also be made to the holders of subscription rights, stock options or convertible debt securities that directly or indirectly may grant a subscription, acquisition or conversion right on voting shares.
Law No. 26.831 establishes that a person or entity wishing to acquire a “significant holding” (“participaciones significativas”) shall be required to launch a mandatory tender offer.
A mandatory tender offer will not be required in those cases in which the purpose of the acquisition of the “significant holding” is not to acquire the control of a company.
The CNV defines a “significant holding” as holdings that represent an equal or a higher percentage than 15% and 51% of the voting shares as the case may be.
When a person or an entity intends to acquire more than 15% of the shares of a company, a mandatory tender offer to purchase 50% of the corporate voting capital is required by law.
If a person or an entity owns between 15% and 51% of the shares of a company, and wishes to increase its holdings by at least 6% within a 12 month period, a mandatory tender offer to acquire shares representing at least 10% of the voting capital will be legally required.
When a person or an entity wishes to acquire more than 51% of the shares of a company, a mandatory tender offer to acquire 100% of the voting capital will be legally required.
Finally, when a shareholder controls 95% or more of the outstanding shares of a company, (i) any minority shareholder may, at any time, demand that the controlling party make an offer to purchase all of the remaining shares of the minority shareholders and (ii) the controlling party can issue a unilateral statement of intention to acquire all of the remaining shares owned by the other stockholders.
Pursuant to the Argentine Companies Law we may redeem our outstanding common shares only under the following circumstances:
•
|
to cancel such shares and only after a decision to reduce our capital stock (with shareholder approval at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria);
|
•
|
to avoid significant damage to our company under exceptional circumstances, and then only using retained earnings or free reserves that have been fully paid, which action must be ratified at the following ordinary shareholders’ meeting; or
|
•
|
in the case of the acquisition by a third-party of our common shares.
|
The Law No. 26,831 provides for other circumstances under which our company, as a corporation whose shares are publicly listed, can repurchase our shares. The following are necessary conditions for the acquisition of our shares:
•
|
the shares to be acquired shall be fully paid,
|

Foreign Currency Regulation
All transactions involving the purchase and sale of foreign currency must be settled through the single free exchange market (Mercado Único Libre de Cambios, or “MULC”) where the Argentine Central Bank supervises the purchase and sale of foreign currency. Under Executive Branch Decree No. 260/2002, the Argentine government set up an exchange market through which all foreign currency exchange transactions are made. Such transactions are subject to the regulations and requirements imposed by the Argentine Central Bank. Under Communication “A” 3471, as amended, the Argentine Central Bank established certain restrictions and requirements applicable to foreign currency exchange transactions. If such restrictions and requirements are not met, criminal penalties shall be applied.
Outflow and Inflow of Capital
Inflow of capital
Under Argentine Foreign Investment Law No. 21,382, as amended, and the wording restated under Executive Branch Decree No. 1853/1993, the purchase of stock of an Argentine company by an individual or legal entity domiciled abroad or by an Argentine “foreign capital” company (as defined under the Foreign Investment Law) represents a foreign investment.
Under Executive Branch Decree No. 616/2005, as amended, the Argentine government imposed certain restrictions on the inflow and outflow of foreign currency into and from the Argentine exchange market, including that inflowing new indebtedness and debt renewals by persons domiciled abroad must be agreed and cancelled within periods not shorter than 365 calendar days, irrespective of the method of payment. Additionally, such debt may not be prepaid before the lapse of such period. Such restrictions do not apply to (i) foreign trade financing, or (ii) primary public offering of equity or debt instruments issued under the public offering procedure and listed on self-regulated markets.
Pursuant to Communication “A” 4359, as amended, which regulated the Executive Branch Decree N° 616/2005, a registered, non-transferable and non-interest bearing deposit must be kept in Argentina for a period of 365 calendar days, in an amount equal to 30% of any inflow of funds into the domestic exchange market arising from (i) foreign debt (excluding foreign trade); and (ii) purchase of interests in Argentine companies that are not listed on self-regulated markets, except for direct investments and other transactions that may result in the inflow of foreign currency, or in indebtedness of a resident towards a nonresident. However, primary debt offerings by means of public offerings which are listed on a self-regulated market are exempted from such requirements. The mandatory deposit must be made in US dollars and held in Argentine financial institutions and it may not be used to guarantee or as collateral of any type of credit transactions.
Communication “A” 4377, amended by Communication “A” 4762, 4933 and 5532, exempted from keeping the 30% mandatory deposit the following transactions:
i) Inflows of funds made by Multilateral and Bilateral Credit Agencies, either directly or through their related agencies.
ii) Financial indebtedness with non-resident financial or private sector, to the extent the funds, net of taxes and expenses, are applied to the purchase of foreign currency for the payment of external debt services or the formation of long-term assets.
iii) Any other financial indebtedness with non-resident financial or private sector, to the extend the inflows had been incurred and repaid in an average term no less than two years, including principal and interests and, to the extent, the funds are applied to investment in non financial assets by the private sector.
iv) Foreign currency settlements by Argentine residents derived from foreign currency loans granted by local financial institutions.
v) Direct investment contributions in local companies (pursuant to Communication “A” 4237 which defines “direct investment” as the participation in the capital stock which must be no less than 10%) and sale of interests in the capital stock of local companies to direct investors.
With respect to item v), there are some requirements aiming to comply with the accurate capitalization of the direct investment contribution regarding the actual capitalization and registration of the contribution with the Public Registry of Commerce in a term of 540 calendar days, otherwise, the mandatory deposit shall be made within 10 calendar days. This term shall be considered as from the date in which the local company resolves not to accept the contribution and/or the rejection and/or suspension thereof. Regarding the sale of interest in the capital stock of a local company by a direct investor, it shall be required the filing of the sale and purchase agreement or the public offer of acquisition, as the case may be. Within 20 business days of the settlement of the transaction through the MULC, it shall be required the filing of the registration of the amendment to the by-laws with the Public Registry of Commerce or a legalized copy of the Ledger Book, depending on the type of company (corporation or limited liability company).
Additionally, Communication “A” 4901, dated February 5, 2009, exempts from the obligation to keep such mandatory deposit in the case of inflows into the exchange market made by nonresidents, when the Pesos resulting from the settlement of the foreign currency are applied within the following ten business days to any of the purposes set forth by the classification of current transactions in international accounts, namely: a) discharge of advance payments or liabilities for income and personal asset taxes payable by individuals who are regarded as residents from a tax standpoint; b) payment by nonresidents of contributions to the social security system or payments to employee-owned or prepaid healthcare systems; c) payment of other taxes which, given their nature, are borne by nonresidents in their capacity as taxpayers, and always provided that such payment does not entitle the nonresident to claims vis-à-vis the tax authorities or third parties; and d) other rates and services supplied by residents. In addition, such exemption on mandatory deposits, subject to certain additional requirements, is also applicable to funds remitted from abroad by nonresident companies on behalf of employees from international corporate groups who are temporarily abroad, to local companies responsible for the settlement of taxes and for making the relevant payments.
As result of the enactment of Communication “A” 5604 dated on October 8, 2014, direct investments made by non residents to local companies, shall be maintained in local account in foreign currency from October 9 until December 30, 2014 to the extent such funds comply with the provisions set forth in item 2.7. of Communication “A” 5526 as it is mentioned below.
Obligation for the settlement of funds through the MULC.
General rules. Exports.
Pursuant to Executive Decree No. 1606/2011 any foreign currency derived from foreign trade must be settled through the MULC.
Pursuant to Communication “A” 5300, as amended, within 15 business days as of the date of the disbursement of the funds abroad, corresponding to the payment of exportation of goods, advance payments of exports and pre financing loans for exports, such funds must be settled through the MULC. In all cases, the due date for the settlement of the funds derived from exports shall be the shortest time between 15 business day and the date applicable to the specific good according to the current rules. Such funds shall be credited in a local bank account duly opened in favor of the client.
In connection with the funds which were disbursed in bank accounts abroad, for the same concept referred to in the paragraph above, the due date for the transfer of such funds to a representative account of a local bank entity is 10 business days.
According to several regulations enacted by Argentine Central Bank, it is allowed the application of payment for exports abroad for the cancellations of exporter’s debt in the following cases:
a. advance payments and prefinancing loans for exports.
b. financing of local new investment projects for the increase of production of exportable goods or importation substitutes, among others.
c. other financial indebtedness for bonds offering abroad and financial loans granted by foreign banks.
d. financial indebtedness with local financial entities to the extent the term (no less than 10 years), an average term (no less than 5 years) and interest rate (up to a 100 b.p. over labor 180 days) has been accomplished.
Services
Communication “A” 5264 set forth that the payments in foreign currency received by residents for the export of services and payment of losses for insurance policies hired with non residents under the applicable rules must be settled through the MULC within fifteen business days as of its collection abroad or locally or its deposit in foreign bank accounts.
Such funds are exempted to be settled through the MULC to the extent such exemption is actually contemplated in the foreign exchange regulations and such amounts are applied for the cancellation of foreign financial indebtedness.
Outflow of capital, including the availability of cash or cash equivalents
Exchange Transactions Inquiry Program
On October 28, 2011, the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos, “AFIP”) established an Exchange Transactions Inquiry Program (“Inquiry Program”) through which the entities authorized by the Argentine Central Bank to deal in foreign exchange must inquire and register through an IT system the total peso amount of each exchange transaction at the moment it is closed.
All foreign exchange sale transactions, whether involving foreign currency or banknotes, irrespective of their purpose or allocation, are subject to this inquiry and registration system, which determines whether transactions are “Validated” or “Inconsistent”.
Pursuant to Communication “A” 5239, later replaced by Communication “A” 5245, in the case of sales of foreign exchange (foreign currency or banknotes) for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without the obligation of subsequently allocating it to specific purpose, entities authorized to deal in foreign exchange may only allow transactions through the MULC by those clients who have obtained the validation and who comply with the rest of the requirements set forth in the applicable foreign exchange regulations. The following are exempted from the Inquiry Program, among others: a) international agencies and institutions that act as official export credit agencies, diplomatic and consular offices, bilateral agencies established under International Treaties; and b) local governments.
Sales of foreign exchange other than for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without a specific purpose are also exempted from the Inquiry Program, although, the financial entities must verify that the other requirements established by the MULC are accomplished.
On December 20, 2012, Resolution No. 3421 replaced Resolution No. 3356, both enacted by AFIP. The latest one sets forth an unified registration system to be fulfilled for the access to the foreign exchange market, in particular for the outflow of funds made by residents or non residents, in whichever purpose or destiny. Such resolution is related with Communications “A” 5245.
Financial Indebtedness
In accordance with Communication “A” 5265, as amended by Communication “A” 5604 (as of July 10, 2014) the transactions arising from financial indebtedness of the financial sector, private non-financial sector and local governments must be settled in the foreign exchange market.
The provisions reach indebtedness with bonds, financial loans and any other transaction by which a disbursement of funds from a non-resident had been carried out. The obligation of settlement through the MULC shall be conducted within 30 calendar days as from the date of the disbursement abroad and the transfer shall be deposited in a local bank account.
Any new financial indebtedness paid through the MULC and any debt renewal with financial non-residents and private non-residents shall be settled, maintained and renewed for at least 365 calendar days as from the date of the disbursement, and they may not be prepaid before such term, whatever the manner of the cancellation of the obligation with the creditor had been agreed and independently of whether said cancellation is channeled through the MULC or not.
The primary issuance of publicly securities traded in self regulated markets is exempted of the foregoing provisions.
On October 8, 2014, the Argentine Central Bank issued Communication “A” 5643 through which the conditions established in item 2.7. of the Communication “A” 5526 related to the purchase of foreign currency for the formation of off-shore assets by residents, shall be applied to the financial indebtedness from October 9, 2014 until December 30, 2014. The inflow of funds through this channel shall be subject to provisions set forth in Decree 616/2005, meaning that mandatory deposit of 30% shall apply. Nevertheless, it shall be considered the final destination of the funds that are exempted from such mandatory deposit (i.e. financial indebtedness with non-resident financial or private sector, to the extend the inflows had been incurred and repaid in an average term no less than two years, including principal and interests and, to the extent, the funds are applied to investment in non financial assets by the private sector). By this regulation, the funds may be maintained in local account in foreign currency during the term authorized thereof.
Formation of off-shore assets by residents with and without subsequent allocation to specific purposes
On January 27, 2014, the Argentine Central Bank enacted Communication “A” 5526 which abrogated item II of Communication “A” 5318 (as of July 5, 2012) rule that, in turn, had suspended item 4.2. of Communication “A” 5236 (as of October 27, 2011) related to the purchase of foreign currency for the formation of off-shore assets by residents.. Communication “A” 5526, by entirely replacing item 4 of Communication “A” 5236 (which regulated the outflow of funds for the formation of off-shore assets for subsequent allocation without specific purposes to individuals who were Argentine residents, legal entities organized in Argentina and trust set up with contributions from the national public sector), made void the restrictions to the foreign exchange market to individuals who are residents, allowing them to purchase foreign currency as savings based on the income declared with the AFIP, prior to a validation system to be accomplished by such individuals. Additionally, the referred rule rearranged and, therefore replaced Annex to Communication “A” 5236.
On July 10, 2014, through Communication “A” 5604, the Argentine Central Bank made some additional changes to Communication “A” 5526, including the item 2.7., setting forth that new bond offerings and debt instruments issued under public offering procedure and listed on self regulated markets by local governments and /or private non-financial sector, that may be considered as external issuance, it shall be allowed the access to the foreign exchange market for the purchase of foreign currency to be deposited in local financial institutions (in a fixed term or special foreign currency account), simultaneously to the settlement of the funds received for the acquisition of such bonds or debt instruments abroad. Such permit shall be made for up to a 90% of the funds settled through the foreign exchange market and for a term of 180 calendar days. At least 80% of such funds must be applied to any future needs of net foreign currency required by the company involved. After the due date of 180 calendar days established by the Communication, the funds that had not been used, must be settled through the foreign exchange market within 10 business days. The referred funds shall not be subject to the mandatory deposit of 30% regulated by Communication “A” 4359, as amended.
Outflow of funds for payment to non-residents
According to Communication “A” 5264, amended by Communication “A” 5377 (issued on December 14, 2012) and Communication “A” 5604, there are no limits or restrictions applicable for residents who access the foreign exchange market to pay services, debts and profits to non-residents. The access to the MULC requires the filing of certain documentation by residents demonstrating the validity of transactions in which the funds are purchased for its remittance abroad.
Payment of services
As it was mentioned above, there is no restriction applicable for payments to be made to non-residents for performed services. The regulation covers all types of services without making any specifications. The financial entity shall require the filing of documentation supporting the authenticity of the transaction, the service rendered by the non-resident to the resident and the amount to be transferred abroad.
Should performed services are not related to the activities actually developed by the resident; the financial entity shall require a copy of the contract by which the payment obligation arises from and an auditor report. Such requirements intend to demonstrate the actual rendering of services to the non-resident and the existence of the debt.
Payment of rents (interest, profits and dividends)
As of January 8, 2003, Communication “A” 3859, item 3, allowed Argentine companies to transfer abroad profits and dividends related to closed financial statements certified by independent accountants without being required to obtain the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Bank. Such Communication was replaced by Communication “A” 5264, amended by Communication “A” 5377.
The payments of profits and dividends to non-residents or ADR’s is authorized, insofar such payments are made according to financial statements duly closed, audited and approved by shareholders’ meeting.
The financial entity shall verify the accomplishment of the formalities established by Communication “A” 3602, as amended, and the fulfillment of the report of direct investment ruled by Communication “A” 4237 (please see below the Reporting System).
Payment of foreign financial indebtedness
Access to the exchange market is allowed for payments of principal amounts due, with the exception of the financial institutions subject to rediscounts granted by the Argentine Central Bank and which have restructured their debt with foreign creditors (Executive Branch Decree No. 739/2003 and Communication “A” 3940 of the Argentine Central Bank).
In general terms, access to MULC for payment of principal, interest and prepayment of financial indebtedness incurred by Argentine residents in the private non-financial sector and financial sector are subject to regulations set forth by Communications “A” 5265 as of January 3, 2012.
The sale of foreign currency for the payment of financial indebtedness must be made through check issued by the resident or debit to the resident local bank account. The financial entity must verify that the reporting system has been complied with in accordance with Communication “A” 3602. Additionally, the payment may only proceed if the funds disbursed remain in Argentina for at least 365 calendar days, in accordance with Executive Branch Decree N° 616/2005.
Interest payments: Pursuant to Communication “A” 5264, item 3.7., recently modified by Communication “A” 5604 on July 10, 2014 (after several amendments since its issuance), the access to the MULC for the purchase of foreign currency to pay interests for financial indebtedness may be made:
a. Up to 10 business day prior to the due date of each interest installment and to pay interest accrued within such interest period;
b. To pay interest accrued as from the date of the settlement of the disbursement through the local foreign exchange market; or
c. To pay interest accrued as from the date of the actual disbursement; provided that the funds disbursed abroad were credited in correspondent accounts of entities authorized to settle such funds through the local exchange market, within 48 hours from the date of their disbursement.
In all cases, the financial entity must verify the filing of the documents required by Communication “A” 3602 (affidavit related to the financial indebtedness) and Communication “A” 4237 (reporting of direct investment owned by non-residents) in case the creditor is part of the debtor’s economic group.

In each case, it is a condition: (a) the average term of the new indebtedness is higher than the average term of the outstanding debt that it is prepaid considering both capital and interest, and (b) it may not imply an increase in the present value of the indebtedness for the debtor.
Direct Investment Reporting System
Direct Investments made in Argentina by nonresidents
Under Communication “A” 4237, the Argentine Central Bank established a reporting system in connection with direct investments and real estate investments made by nonresidents in Argentina and by residents abroad.
Nonresidents must comply every semester with the above mentioned reporting system if the amount of the investment in Argentina reaches or exceeds US$ 500,000. If such amount is not reached, the reporting system is optional.

Interested parties may consult such regulations through the website of the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance (http://www.infoleg.gob.ar) or the Argentine Central Bank (http://www.bcra.gob.ar).
Money Laundering
Argentine Law No. 25,246, as amended by Laws No. 26,118, 26,268 and 26,683, categorizes money laundering as a crime, which is defined as the exchange, transfer, management, sale or any other use of money or other assets obtained through a crime, by a person who did not take part in such original crime, with the potential result that such original assets (or new assets resulting from such original assets) have the appearance of having been obtained through legitimate means. In spite of the fact that there is a specific amount for the money laundering category (AR$300,000), the crimes committed for a lower amount are also punished, but the prison sentence is reduced.
After the enactment of Law 26,683, money laundering was included in the Penal Code as an independent crime against economic and financial order and it was split from the title “Concealment” as originally disposed. Therefore, money laundering is a crime which may be prosecuted independently.
The money laundering law created the UIF. UIF is in charge of the analysis, treatment and transmission of information to prevent and impede the money laundering originating from, among others:
a) Crimes related to the traffic and illegal commercialization of drugs (Law No. 23,737)
b) Crimes related to arms traffic (Law No. 22,415);
c) Crimes related to illegal association o terrorist association
d) Crimes committed by illegal associations organized to commit crimes for political or racial purposes;
e) Crimes against Public Administration
f) Crimes of minor’s prostitution and child pornography
g) Crimes related to terrorism financing
The UIF analyzes the information received by entities that have the obligation to report suspicious activities or operations and, as the case may be, inform the Public Ministry to carry out the investigations that may be considered relevant or necessary.
The money laundering legal framework in Argentina also assigns information and control duties to certain private sector entities, such as banks, agents, non-profits organizations, stock exchanges, insurance companies, according to the regulations of the Financial Information Unit, and for financial entities, the Argentine Central Bank. These regulations apply to many Argentine companies, including us. These obligations consist mainly of: (i) maintaining internal policies and procedures aimed at money laundering prevention and financing of terrorism, especially through the application of the policy “know your client”; (ii) reporting any suspicious activity or operation and (iii) acting according the Money Laundering Law with respect to the confidentiality of the information obtained from the clients. For that purpose, each entity involved must appoint a officer responsible for the monitoring and control under the Money Laundering Law.
On May 8, 2009, and in its capacity as obliged subject under the rules enacted by UIF, the CNV issued Resolution No. 554 which incorporated within the exchange market many provisions aimed at comply with money laundering prevention pursuant to Law 25,246, as amended. In that regard, such resolution established that any entity subject to the supervision of CNV could only take part in securities transactions if they were ordered by parties that were registered or domiciled in jurisdictions not included in the list of tax havens detailed in Executive Branch Decree No 1344/98. Furthermore, the Resolution provided that securities transactions made by parties registered or domiciled in jurisdictions that are not included in such list, but that act as intermediaries of securities’ markets under the supervision of an agency similar to the CNV, were allowed only if such agency has signed a memorandum of mutual understanding with the CNV.
On February 2, 2012, Resolution No. 554 was replaced by Resolution No. 602 so as to adapt and complement the instructions issued by UIF applying to the entities under the supervision of CNV, including some payment modalities and control proceedings for the reception and deliver of funds to the clients, fixing amounts and instruments to be used. Moreover, such resolution updated the reference to the Executive Branch Decree which referred to tax havens (No. 1,037).
As part of a more comprehensive modification of the rules that govern the scope of supervision of CNV, derive from the enactment of Law No. 26,831, which approved a new regulatory regime for the public offer of securities, CNV issued a new re-arranged text of its rules. By Resolution No. 622/2013, CNV incorporates a new chapter of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing including dispositions related to the fulfillment of duties to be complied by “Agentes de Negociación”, “Agentes de Liquidación y Compensación”, “Agentes de Distribución y Colocación” and “Agentes de Administración de Productos de Inversión Colectiva”, considered as obliged subject under the terms of sections 4, 5 and 22 of article 20 of Law No. 25,246. Such agents are obliged to comply with any provision arising from Law No. 25,246 and its amendments, regulations enacted by UIF, including decrees of National Executive Power with reference to the decisions adopted by the United Nations Security Council, in the fight against terrorism and to comply with the resolutions issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Religion. Furthermore, “Agentes de custodia de productos de inversión colectiva (Sociedades Depositarias de Fondos Comunes de Inversión”); “Agentes de corretaje”, “Agentes de depósito colectivo” and listed companies with respect to contribution, irrevocable contributions or indebtedness made by a shareholder or a third person to become a shareholder in the future, are also reached by the resolution.
Those subjects must send by internet (through the online application of CNV) their tax identification number. Additionally, in case of companies, it must be informed the personal data of the “Compliance Officer” (both regular and alternate).
The CNV regulations provide that the subjects under their jurisdiction, may only take action to transactions in the scope of public offering of securities, stipulated, future or optional contracts of any nature and other instruments and financial products when made or directed by registered, domiciled or domestic subjects or those who reside in dominions, jurisdictions, territories or associated states that appear included in the list of cooperating countries provided in article 2º, subsection b) of executive branch Decree 589/2013.
When those subjects are not included in the referred list and, in their origin jurisdictions, are only registered intermediates of an entity subject to control and supervision of a body who fulfills similar duties such as the CNV, the transactions shall only have effect provided that the body in their origin jurisdiction has signed a memorandum of understanding, cooperation and exchange of information with the CNV.
With the purpose of strengthen the requirements in order to grant the authorization to operate in the exchange market, some new requisites were established in connection with: (i) competence and capacity; (ii) moral integrity and honesty and (iii) solvency. Such requisites are subject to the appraisal of CNV and must be fulfilled by managers, directors, auditors and any other individual who perform duties or activities within the company.
Some other measures are set forth related to listed companies or their shareholders or beneficial owners who had been convicted or condemned in connection with money laundering and/or terrorist financing activities or appeared in the list published by the United Nation Security Council.
For a more exhausted analysis of the money laundering regime in effect at this date, Investors are recommended to consult with their legal advisors and read title XIII of the second book of the Argentine Penal Code and the regulations issued by the UIF, in which case the enquirer will be able to view on the website of the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance, in the legislative information section: www.infoleg.gov.ar and/or the UIF website www.uif.gov.ar and/or on the CNV website www.cnv.gob.ar.

Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. In addition, this summary is based, in part, upon representations made by the depositary (the “Depositary”) to us and assumes that the deposit agreement governing the ADSs, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES OR ADSS YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares or ADSs that is for United States federal income tax purposes:
•
|
an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
|
•
|
a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
|
•
|
an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
|
•
|
a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
|
If a partnership holds our common shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisors.
ADSs
In general, for United States federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be treated as the owners of the underlying common shares that are represented by the ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of our common shares by U.S. Holders for ADSs will not be subject to United States federal income tax.
Distributions on Common Shares or ADSs
Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below, the gross amount of distributions on our common shares or ADSs (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentine withholding taxes, if any) will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). Such income (including withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively received by you, in the case of common shares, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.
With respect to non-corporate United States investors, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on shares (or ADSs representing such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. United States Treasury Department guidance indicates that our ADSs (which are listed on the NASDAQ), but not our common shares, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we do not believe that dividends that we pay on our common shares that are not represented by ADSs currently meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. Non-corporate holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met.
The amount of any dividend paid in Pesos will equal the U.S. Dollar value of the Pesos received calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received by you in the case of common shares, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the Pesos are converted into U.S. Dollars. If the Pesos received are not converted into U.S. Dollars on the day of receipt, you will have a basis in the Pesos equal to their U.S. Dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss you realize on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Pesos will be treated as United States source ordinary income or loss.
Subject to certain significant conditions and limitations, Argentine tax withheld from dividends, if any, may be treated as foreign income tax eligible for credit or deduction against your United States federal income tax liability. For purposes of the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the common shares or ADSs will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. Further, in certain circumstances, if you have held ADSs or common shares for less than a specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss, or are obligated to make payments related to the dividends, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on ADSs or common shares. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
To the extent that the amount of any distribution (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentine withholding taxes, if any) exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ADSs or common shares, and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. However, we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend (as discussed above).
Taxation of Capital Gains
Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below, upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares or ADSs, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. Dollar value of the amount realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares or ADSs, determined in U.S. Dollars. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or other disposition you have held the common shares or ADSs for more than one year. Capital gains of individuals derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss you recognize will generally be treated as United States source gain or loss. Consequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Argentine tax imposed on the disposition of common shares or ADSs unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
Based on the current and projected composition of our income and the valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ending June 30, 2014, and we do not currently expect to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition or if our projections are not accurate. The volatility and instability of Argentina’s economic and financial system may substantially affect the composition of our income and assets and the accuracy of our projections. In addition, this determination is based on the interpretation of certain U.S. Treasury regulations relating to rental income, which regulations are potentially subject to differing interpretation.
In general, we will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which, either (i) at least 75% of the gross income of our company for the taxable year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If we own at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, we will be treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning a proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation, and as receiving directly a proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold common shares or ADSs in our company, unless you make the mark-to-market election discussed below, you will be subject to special tax rules discussed below.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or ADSs, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of such common shares or ADSs. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the common shares or ADSs will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules (i) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the common shares or ADSs, (ii) the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and (iii) the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or ADSs and any of our non-United States subsidiaries is also a PFIC, you would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the common shares of the lower tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.
In addition, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us, if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.
In certain circumstances, in lieu of being subject to the excess distribution rules discussed above, you may make an election to include gain on the stock of a PFIC as ordinary income under a mark-to-market method provided that such stock is regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Under current law, the mark-to-market election is only available for stock traded on certain designated United States exchanges and foreign exchanges which meet certain trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements to be treated as a qualified exchange under applicable United States Treasury regulations. Consequently, the mark-to-market election may be available to you with respect to the ADSs because the ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ, which constitutes a qualified exchange under the regulations, although there can be no assurance that the ADSs will be regularly traded. You should note that only the ADSs and not the common shares are listed on the NASDAQ. The common shares are listed on the BASE. Consequently, the BASE would need to meet the trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements of the United States Treasury regulations. The ADSs or common shares would also need to be regularly traded on such exchanges in order for the ADSs or common shares to be potentially eligible for the mark-to-market election.
If we are a PFIC in any taxable year in which you hold our common shares or ADSs, but you do not make a mark-to-market election until a subsequent taxable year, you will be subject to special rules in the taxable year of the election. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of the mark-to-market election in your particular situation.
If you make an effective mark-to-market election, you will include in income each year that we are a PFIC as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of your common shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over your adjusted tax basis in the common shares or ADSs and will be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of such common shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of each such taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. Your basis in the common shares or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain or loss on the sale of the common shares or ADSs will be ordinary income or loss, except that such loss will be ordinary loss only to the extent of the previously included net mark-to-market gain.
If you make a mark-to-market election it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless the common shares or ADSs are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the Internal Revenue Service consents to the revocation of the election. Mark-to-market inclusions and deductions will be suspended during taxable years in which we are not a PFIC, but would resume if we subsequently become a PFIC. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor about the availability of making such a mark-to-market election.
Alternatively, a United States Holder of common shares or ADSs in a PFIC can sometimes avoid the rules described above by electing to treat the company as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code. This option is not available to you because we do not intend to comply with the requirements necessary to permit you to make this election.
A United States Holder who owns common shares or ADSs during any year that we are a PFIC must generally file IRS Form 8621.
You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of holding the common shares or ADSs if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year.
Argentine Personal Assets Tax
Amounts paid on account of the Argentine Personal Assets Tax, if any, will not be eligible as a credit against your United States federal income tax liability, but may be deductible subject to applicable limitations in the Code.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, information reporting requirements will apply to distributions on common shares or ADSs and to the proceeds of sale of a common share or ADS paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless you are an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or certification of other exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided you furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Argentine Taxation
The following discussion is a summary of certain Argentine tax considerations associated with an investment in, ownership or disposition of, the common shares or the ADSs by (i) an individual holder that is resident in Argentina, (ii) an individual holder that is neither domiciled nor resident in Argentina, (iii) a legal entity organized under the laws of Argentina, (iv) a permanent establishment in Argentina of a foreign entity and (v) a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Argentina, that does not have a permanent establishment in Argentina and is not otherwise doing business in Argentina on a regular basis. The discussion is for general information only and is based on current Argentine tax laws. Moreover, while this summary is considered to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force as of the date of this filing, no assurance can be given that the courts or administrative authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with this interpretation or that changes in such laws or interpretations will not occur.
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY TAXING JURISDICTION.
Income tax
Law No. 26,893, enacted on September 12, 2013 and published in the Official Gazette on September 23, 2013, introduced several amendments to Income Tax Law No. 20,628 in connection with, among others, the taxation of dividend distributions and gains derived from transfers of shares and other securities, including the derogation of Section 78 of Decree No. 2,284/1991, which provided that foreign holders with no permanent establishment in Argentina were exempt from paying income tax on the capital gains arising from the sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs.
On February 7, 2014, the Executive Branch issued Decree No. 2,334/13, which regulates Law No. 26,893.
The changes introduced by Law No. 26,893 are effective as from the date of publication of such law in the Official Gazette and are applicable to taxable events consummated from such date onwards.
Taxation of Dividends
Until Law No. 26,893 became effective, dividends, whether in cash, in shares or in kind, approved by our shareholders were not subject to income tax withholding except for the application of the “Equalization Tax” described below.
As from the effectiveness of Law No. 26,893, dividends are subject to an income tax withholding (the “Dividend Tax”) at a 10% rate on the amount of such dividends in respect of both Argentine and non-Argentine resident shareholders. However, dividends received by Argentine entities (generally entities organized or incorporated under Argentine law, certain traders and intermediaries, local branches of non-Argentine entities, sole proprietorships and individuals carrying on certain commercial activities in Argentina) are not subject to the 10% tax .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, according to Argentine law, and irrespective of the 10% tax mentioned in the previous paragraph, an additional income tax withholding will be applied to the amount of dividends distributed in excess of a company’s net taxable income determined in accordance with general income tax regulations for the fiscal years preceding the date of the distribution of such dividends (the “Equalization Tax”). The legislation requires that companies withhold 35% of the amount of distributed dividends in excess of the net taxable income of such distribution, as determined in accordance with the income tax law. Dividends distributed by an Argentine company are not subject to this tax to the extent that those dividends arise from dividend income or other distributions received by such company from other Argentine companies.
Dividend distributions made in kind (other than cash) will be subject to the same tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends on fully paid shares are neither subject to Dividend Tax nor to Equalization Tax.
In case both the Dividend Tax and the Equalization Tax apply, the latter shoud be applied first and then the 10% rate of the Dividend Tax should be applied on the remaining amount of dividends (i.e. the effective rate of both taxes on dividends would be 41.5%). Certain tax treaties contemplate the application of a ceiling tax rate on dividends (i.e. 10% on gross dividends).
Taxation of Capital Gains
As from the effectiveness of Law No. 26,893 income from sale, exchange, disposition or transfer of shares or ADSs is subject to income tax, irrespective of the person that obtains such income, exception made of transactions made by resident individuals involving shares and other securities that are listed on securities exchanges or markets and/or authorized to be offered to the public.
Resident individuals
Capital gains obtained by resident individuals from the sale of shares and other securities are subject to income tax at a 15% rate on net income, unless such securities were traded in stock markets and/or have public offering authorization, in which case an exemption applies. The amendments introduced by the implementing Decree No. 2,334/13 state that the exemption includes income derived from the sale of shares and other securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV. It is not clear whether the exemption also includes securities traded through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV (i.e. in addition to publicly offered securities), or whether the exemption only includes securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV. Certain qualified tax authorities publicly held the latter opinion in tax conferences.
Losses arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares or ADSs can be applied only to offset such capital gains arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of these securities, for a five-year carryover period.
Foreign beneficiaries
Capital gains obtained by non-Argentine individuals or non-Argentine entities from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares are subject to income tax, as the abovementioned exemption for shares is not applicable to non-Argentine beneficiaries. Therefore, the gain derived from the disposition of shares would be subject to Argentine income tax at a 15% rate on the net capital gain or at a 13.5% rate on the gross price. The buyer of the shares, whether Argentine resident or not, will be under the obligation to withhold the tax due by the seller and pay it to the Argentine tax authorities, although the Argentine tax authorities have not implemented any mechanism to make such withholding and payment yet.
Notwithstanding the above, based on certain tax precedents, there may be support to argue that gains obtained by a non-resident from the disposal of ADSs should be regarded as foreign source income and, therefore, not subject to Argentine income tax. As this is a controversial issue, further analysis is required.
Argentine entities
Capital gains obtained by Argentine entities (in general entities organized or incorporated under Argentine law, certain traders and intermediaries, local branches of non-Argentine entities, sole proprietorships and individuals carrying on certain commercial activities in Argentina) derived from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares or ADSs are subject to income tax at the rate of 35%.
Losses arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares or ADSs can be applied only to offset such capital gains arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of these securities, for a five-year carryover period.
WE RECOMMEND PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES CONCERNING THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS OF SHARES AND ADSs.
Value Added Tax
The sale, exchange, disposition, or transfer of common shares or ADSs is not subject to Value Added Tax.
Personal Assets Tax
Law No. 25,585 issued on April 24, 2002 and published in the Official Gazette on May 15, 2002 (and applicable to personal assets held as of December 31, 2002) introduces amendments to Law No. 23,966 and imposes the personal assets tax on common shares and ADSs held by individuals and undivided estates domiciled or located in Argentina or abroad and legal entities not domiciled in Argentina, separately from other assets.
This amendment imposes the obligation to pay the personal assets tax on the Argentine private issuer of the common shares and ADSs, and authorizes it to seek recovery of the amount so paid, without limitation, by way of withholding or by foreclosing on the assets that gave rise to such payment. The tax is levied on the proportional equity value of the common shares as reflected in the most recent balance sheet closed as of December 31 of the taxable year, at the rate of 0.5% without any non-taxable minimum being applicable.
Our shareholders approved the absorption of personal asset tax by us for the years 2002 to 2013. There can be no assurance that in the future this tax will be absorbed by us.
Tax on Minimum Notional Income (Impuesto a la Ganancia Mínima Presunta, “IGMP”)
Companies domiciled in Argentina, partnerships, foundations, sole proprietorships, trusts, certain mutual funds organized in Argentina, and permanent business establishments owned by foreign persons, among other taxpayers, shall apply a 1% rate to the total value of assets held by such persons, above an aggregate nominal amount of Ps.200,000. Nevertheless, common shares and ADSs issued by entities subject to such tax are exempt from the IGMP.
Gross Income Tax
The gross income tax is a local tax; therefore, the rules of the relevant provincial jurisdiction should be considered, which may levy this tax on the purchase and sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares or ADSs, and/or the collection of dividends at an average rate of 6%, unless an exemption is applicable. In the particular case of the City of Buenos Aires, any transaction involving common shares and/or the collection of dividends and revaluations is exempt from this tax.
There is no gross profit tax withholding system applicable to the payments made to foreign beneficiaries.
Stamp Tax
The stamp tax is a local tax that is generally levied on the instrumentation of onerous acts executed within a certain provincial jurisdiction or outside a certain provincial jurisdiction but with effects in such jurisdiction; therefor, the rules of the relevant provincial jurisdiction should be considered for the issuance of instruments which implement onerous transactions (including issuance, subscription, placement and transfer) involving the common shares or ADSs, executed in those jurisdictions, or with effects in those jurisdictions.
Notwithstanding, for the City of Buenos Aires, any instrument related to the transfer of shares which public offering is authorized by Comisión Nacional de Valores is exempt from this tax.
Tax on Credits and Debits in Bank Accounts
This tax is levied upon debits and credits in bank accounts and upon other transactions which, due to their special nature and characteristics, are similar or could be used in substitution for a checking account, such as payments on behalf of or in the name of third parties, procedures for the collection of securities or documents, drafts and transfers of funds made by any means, when these transactions are performed by local banks.
The tax law and its regulations provide several exemptions to this tax. For example, it does not apply to entities recognized as exempt from income tax, to debits and credits relating to salaries, to retirement and pension emoluments credited directly by banking means and withdrawals made in connection with such credits, to credits in checking accounts originated from bank loans, and to transfers of checks by endorsement.
The general rate of the tax is 0.6%. An increased rate of 1.2% applies in cases in which there has been a substitution for the use of a checking account.
Pursuant to Argentine Regulatory Executive Branch Decree 380/2001, as amended, 34% of the tax paid on credits levied at the 0.6% rate and 17% of the tax paid on transactions levied at the 1.2% rate can be used, to its exhaustion, as a credit against income tax, tax on minimum notional income and/or the special contribution on cooperative capital.
Transfer Taxes
There are no taxes levied on the sales and/or transfers of shares or ADSs. Argentina imposes neither an estate nor gift tax on a decedent, donor, legatee or donee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the provincial level, the Province of Buenos Aires passed Law No. 14,044 whereby it imposed a tax on free transmission of assets, effective as from January 1, 2011, whose basic features are as follows:
|
•
|
|
The tax on free transmission of assets is applicable to any enrichment resulting from transmissions made for no consideration, including: inheritances, legacies, donations, inheritance advance payments or any other event that implies a gratuitous monetary enrichment.
|
|
•
|
|
The tax is payable by individuals and legal entities that are beneficiaries of a free transmission of assets.
|
|
•
|
|
For taxpayers domiciled in the Province of Buenos Aires, the tax is levied on the total amount of the gratuitous enrichment, in respect of property situated both in and outside of the Province of Buenos Aires. Instead, for taxpayers domiciled outside of the Province of Buenos Aires, the tax is levied only on the gratuitous enrichment resulting from the transmission of such property as is situated within the Province of Buenos Aires.
|
|
•
|
|
The following property, among others, is deemed situated in the Province of Buenos Aires (i) securities and shares of stock, membership or equity interests and other negotiable instruments representing capital stock, issued by governmental or private entities and companies domiciled in the Province of Buenos Aires; (ii) securities, shares of stock and other negotiable instruments issued by private entities or companies domiciled in a different jurisdiction that were physically situated in the Province of Buenos Aires at the time of their transmission; and (iii) securities, shares of stock and other negotiable instruments representing capital stock or its equivalent issued by entities or companies domiciled in another jurisdiction which are also physically situated in another jurisdiction, in proportion to the issuer´s assets situated in the Province of Buenos Aires.
|
|
•
|
|
Free transmissions of assets are exempt from tax when their aggregate value, excluding deductions, exemptions and exclusions, is equal to or lower than $ 60,000 and it rises to $250,000 in the case of parents, children and spouse.
|
|
•
|
|
Step-up rates from 4% to 21.925% have been established, based on the degree of kinship and taxable base involved.
|
The gratuitous transmission of common shares or ADSs could be subject to the tax on free transmission of assets to the extent that it forms part of gratuitous transmissions of property made for an aggregate amount in excess of $ 60,000, excluding deductions, exemptions and exclusions.
As regards the existence of taxes on conveyances of property without valuable consideration in the remaining provincial jurisdictions, an analysis must be conducted based on the legislation of each province in particular.
Court and Other Taxes
In the event that it becomes necessary to institute legal actions in relation to the common shares or ADSs in Argentina, a court tax (currently at a rate of 3.0%) will be imposed on the amount of any claim brought before the Argentine courts sitting in the City of Buenos Aires.
No Argentine tax is imposed on the deposit or withdrawal of common shares in exchange for ADSs. Other than the taxes discussed above, no other Argentine taxes are applicable to an investment in common shares or ADSs. At present, there is no national tax specifically applicable to the transfer of securities.
Tax Treaties
Argentina has entered into tax treaties with several countries. There is currently no tax treaty or convention in effect between Argentina and the United States.

D. American Depositary Shares
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”) collects its fees for delivery directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal. The Depositary also collects taxes and governmental charges from the holders of ADSs. The Depositary collects these fees and charges by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the holder prior to such sale).
The Depositary has agreed to reimburse or pay on our behalf, certain reasonable expenses related to our ADS program and incurred by us in connection with the program (such as NASDAQ listing fees, legal and accounting fees incurred with preparation of Form 20-F and ongoing SEC compliance and listing requirements, distribution of proxy materials, investor relations expenses, etc). The Depositary has covered all such expenses incurred by us during 2014 for an amount of US$626,815, net of taxes.
The amounts the Depositary reimbursed or paid are not perforce related to the fees collected by the depositary from ADS holders.
The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing shares or by any party surrendering receipts or to whom receipts are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or an exchange regarding the receipts or deposited securities or a distribution of receipts), whichever applicable: (1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of shares generally on the share register of the Company or foreign registrar and applicable to transfers of shares to the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals hereunder, (3) such cable, telex and fax transmission expenses as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency (5) a fee of US$ 5.00 or less per 100 ADS (or portion), (6) a fee of US$ 0.02 or less per ADS (or portion) for any cash distribution made pursuant to the deposit agreement including, but not limited to, and (7) a fee for the distribution of securities, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADS referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities, but which securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to owners.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
|
|
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer, as appropriate, to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2014. Based upon this evaluation, our Management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F were not effective because management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions related to an acquisition of an associate, as further described below.

Management´s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
|
|
|
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate Internal Control over Financial Reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting includes a series of procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Because of its inherent limitations, Internal Control over Financial Reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in Internal Control over Financial Reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our Internal Control over Financial Reporting as of June 30, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (1992). Because of the material weakness described below related to the Company’s accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions related to an acquisition of an associate, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective Internal Control over Financial Reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on the criteria set forth in the COSO Framework.
Management did not maintain effective controls over the Company’s accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions related to an acquisition of an associate. Specifically, controls over the interpretation, analysis and accounting of significant, non-routine, complex contractual provisions, did not operate effectively as of June 30, 2014 which, as a result, impacted the accuracy of the derivative liability and financial results accounts. This control deficiency, caused principally by inadequate staffing and technical expertise at the subsidiary level, resulted in the restatement of the Company’s statutory financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014 originally issued on September 8, 2014. The Company filed restated statutory financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014 with the Comisión Nacional de Valores (the “CNV”), the local Argentine regulatory authority, on October 22, 2014. Management has concluded that this specifically identified control deficiency with respect to derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions related to an acquisition of an associate constitutes a material weakness. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the (aforementioned account balances or disclosures) that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Background and Remediation Plan
Subsequent to the issuance and filing of the statutory financial statements with the CNV, and as part of the reporting process for the Annual Report on Form 20-F, our management discovered an error in the interpretation and accounting for certain terms and conditions of the various and complex contractual agreements signed in relation to the acquisition of the associate IDBD by Dolphin Netherlands, a subsidiary of Dolphin Fund Limited (DFL), an indirect subsidiary of the Company. As per the terms of one specific contract, Dolphin Netherlands committed to purchase future offers of additional IDBD shares by December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, at predetermined amounts per share. The existence of this purchase obligation should have triggered specific accounting treatment under IFRS rules related to derivatives that the controls and procedures at the Company’s subsidiary, Dolphin Netherlands, did not effectively identify. The principal factor that contributed to this material weakness was the failure to effectively interpret the impact of significant, non-routine complex contractual clauses associated with the investment in the associate IDBD. The effects of the restatement have been discussed in further detail in Note 2 (ii) to the consolidated financial statements.
We plan to implement a number of steps to remediate the material weakness discussed above and improve its Internal Control over Financial Reporting related to account for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions. Specifically, the following measures have been recommended by our management to be implemented:
·
|
hiring additional qualified accounting personnel versed in the technical requirements of IFRS at the subsidiary level to interpret, analyze and account for significant complex contractual provisions;
|
·
|
develop a solution to collect and consolidate all material contractual provisions at the subsidiary level to assist in the appropriate evaluation and documentation requirements required by IFRS;
|
·
|
institute additional review by management of the Company to confirm proper identification, analysis and implementation of relevant accounting standards going forward; and
|
·
|
provide additional training to personnel at both the Company and subsidiaries to better assess and evaluate contractual provisions and the impact of derivative financial instruments.
|
Management is committed to improving our internal control processes and will develop and present to the Audit Committee a plan and timetable for the implementation of the remediation measures described above and will meet with the Committee to monitor the status of remediation activities. Management believes that the measures described above should remediate the material weakness identified above and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions. As we continue to evaluate and improve our Internal Control over Financial Reporting related to accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions, additional measures to remediate the material weakness or modifications to certain of the remediation procedures described above may be necessary. We expect to complete the required remedial actions during our 2015 fiscal year.

Item 16.
A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
In our annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on October 31, 2003, the audit committee was unanimously approved. Pursuant to this plan, the board of directors had to appoint the members of the audit committee who hold expertise in corporate administration, finance and accounting.
Our board of directors established an audit committee which would assist the Board in exercising its duty of care on disclosure requirements, the enforcement of accounting policies, management of our business risks, the management of our internal control systems, ethical conduct of our businesses, monitoring the sufficiency of our financial statements, our compliance with laws, independence and capacity of independent auditors and performance of our internal audit and our external auditors.
On November 3, 2008, our board of directors officially appointed Jorge Oscar Fernández, Daniel Mellicovsky, and Pedro Damaso Labaqui Palacio, all of them independent members, as members of the audit committee. Jorge Oscar Fernández is the financial expert in accordance with the relevant SEC rules. We have a fully independent audit committee as per the standard provided in Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1).
B. CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees. Our code of ethics is posted in our website www.cresud.com.ar. On July 25, 2005, our Code of Ethics was amended by our board of directors. The amendment was reported in a report on Form 6K on August 1, 2005.
If we make any substantive amendment to the code of ethics or if we grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a Form 6-K or in our next Forms 20-F to be filed with the SEC.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Our audit committee approves, in advance, the engagement of auditors and their fees for audit and non-audit services pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(c) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Our Audit Committee pre-approves all services, fees and services provided by the external auditors to ensure auditors’ independence.

In order to accomplish such task, the Audit Committee shall:
• Require any additional and complementary documentation related to this analysis;
• Verify the independence of the external auditors;
• Analyze different kinds of services that the external auditor would provide to the company. This description must also include an estimate of the fees payable for such services, specifically in order to maintain the principle of independence;
• Inform the fees billed by the external auditor, separating the services related to audit services and other special services that could be not included in the audit services previously mentioned.
• Take notice of any strategy proposed by of the external auditors and review it in accordance with the reality other business and the risks involved;

In addition, during November 2009, our Board of Directors, in accordance with the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting dated October 29, 2009, decided to initiate the process of distribution among the shareholders, on a pro rata basis, of 25,000,000 common shares, repurchased under the 2009 Plan. The allotment of shares was calculated over the outstanding capital stock up to October 29, 2009 of Ps. 471,538,610 (0.05301792784 shares per ADR). As a result of the calculation of the allotment, the fractions were settled in cash. 754 shares were not distributed.
On April 11, 2014 our Board of Directors decided to initiate a new shares repurchase plan until the December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Plan”), under the terms of Article 64 of the Capital Markets Law and the rules of the CNV. Such repurchases were made with our liquid and realized profits and free reserves, up to Ps. 200.0 million or up to 5% of our share capital. Until June 30, 2014 we have repurchased 5,585,479 equivalent to 1.11% of share capital, by a total of Ps. 55.5 million.

G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
Compliance with NASDAQ listing standards on corporate governance
Our corporate governance practices are governed by the applicable Argentine law; particularly, the Argentine Corporations Law, the Capital Markets Law and the rules of the CNV, as well as by ours by-laws.
We have securities that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are listed on the NASDAQ, and are therefore subject to corporate governance requirements applicable to NASDAQ-listed non-US companies (a “NASDAQ-listed” company).
Pursuant to NASDAQ Rule 5615(a)(3), NASDAQ -listed non-US companies that are categorized as “Foreign Private Issuers” and may follow home country corporate governance practice in lieu of the requirements of Rule 5615(a)(3), provided that the foreign private issuer complies with certain mandatory sections of Rule 5615(a)(3), discloses each requirement of Rule 5615(a)(3)that it does not follow and describes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement.

CRESUD’S CORPORATE PRACTICES
|
Rule 5250(d) - Distribution of Annual and Interim Reports.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5250(d), we follow Argentine law, which requires that companies issue publicly a Spanish language annual report, including annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Argentina, by filing such annual report with the CNV and the stock exchange in which the securities are listed, within 70 calendar days following the close of our fiscal year. Interim reports must be filed with the CNV and the stock exchange in which the securities are listed within 42 calendar days following the close of each fiscal quarter. We provide our shareholders annual and interim financial reports upon request. English language translations of our annual reports and interim reports are filed with the SEC on Form 20-F and Form 6-K, respectively. We also send the English language translation of our annual report and quarterly press releases related to the interim financial and operating results to the CNV which posts them on its website. Furthermore, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, dated as of March 18, 1997, among us, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, and owners of ADSs issued thereunder, we are required to furnish The Bank of New York Mellon with, among other things, English language translations of our annual reports. Annual reports are available for inspection by ADR holders at the offices of The Bank of New York located at, 101 Barclay Street, 22 Floor, New York, New York. Finally, Argentine law requires that 20 calendar days before the date of a shareholders’ meeting, the board of directors must provide to our shareholders, at our executive office or through electronic means, all information relevant to the shareholders’ meeting, including copies of any documents to be considered by the shareholders (which includes the annual report).
|
Rule 5605(b)(1) - Majority of Independent Directors.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(b)(1), we follow Argentine law which does not require that a majority of the board of directors be comprised of independent directors. Argentine law instead requires that public companies in Argentina must have a sufficient number of independent directors to be able to form an audit committee of at least three members, the majority of which must be independent pursuant to the rules of the CNV.
|
Rule 5605(b)(2) - Executive Sessions of the Board of Directors.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(b)(2), we follow Argentine law which does not require independent directors to hold regularly scheduled meetings at which only such independent directors are present (i.e., executive sessions). Our board of directors as a whole is responsible for monitoring our affairs. In addition, under Argentine law, the board of directors may approve the delegation of specific responsibilities to designated directors or non-director managers. Also, it is mandatory for public companies to form a supervisory committee (composed of “syndics”) which is responsible for monitoring our legal compliance under Argentine law and compliance with our by-laws. Finally, our audit committee has regularly scheduled meetings and, as such, such meetings will serve a substantially similar purpose as executive sessions.
|
Rule 5605(d)(B) - Compensation of Officers.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(d)(B), we follow Argentine law which does not require companies to form a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors. For the determination of the compensation of the chief executive officer and all other executive officers no decision of a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors is required under Argentine law. Under Argentine law, the board of directors is the corporate body responsible for determining the compensation of the chief executive officer and all other executive officers, so long as they are not directors. In addition, under Argentine law, the audit committee shall give its opinion about the reasonableness of management’s proposals on fees and option plans for our directors or managers.
|
Rule 5605(e) - Nomination of Directors.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(e), we follow Argentine law which requires that directors be nominated directly by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting and that they be selected and recommended by the shareholders themselves. Under Argentine law, it is the responsibility of the ordinary shareholders’ meeting to appoint and remove directors and to set their compensation.
|
Rule 5605(c)(1) - Audit Committee Charter.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(c)(1), we follow Argentine law which requires that audit committees have a charter but does not require that companies certify as to the adoption of the charter nor does it require an annual review and assessment thereof. Argentine law instead requires that companies prepare a proposed plan or course of action with respect to those matters which are the responsibility of our audit committee. Such plan or course of action could, at the discretion of our audit committee, include a review and assessment of the audit committee charter. We believe that we are in compliance with the requirements for audit committee charters provided for in the Sarbanes Oxley Act.
|
Rule 5605(c)(2) - Audit Committee Composition.
|
Argentine law does not require that companies have an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors and it is equally not customary business practice in Argentina to have such a committee. Argentine law instead requires that companies establish an audit committee with at least three members comprised of a majority of independent directors as defined by Argentine law. Nonetheless, although not required by Argentine law, hawse have a three member audit committee comprised of entirely independent directors in accordance with Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1) of the General rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as independence is defined in Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1). Further, Argentine law does not require companies to identify or designate a financial expert. As such, Although all the members of the audit committee have large corporate experience, as of the date of this annual report, the Board of Directors have not named designated a financial expert in accordance with the relevant SEC ruleson the audit committee. Although it is noted that all members of the audit committee have had significant corporate experience. In addition, hawse have a supervisory committee (“comisión fiscalizadora”) composed of three ‘syndics’ which are in charge of monitoring the legality, under Argentine law, of the actions of our board of directors and the conformity of such actions with our by-laws.

Rule 5620(c) - Quorum.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 4350(f), we follow Argentine law and our bylaws, which distinguish between ordinary meetings and extraordinary meetings and require, in connection with ordinary meetings, that a quorum consist of a majority of stocks entitled to vote. If no quorum is present at the first meeting, a second meeting may be called, in which the shareholders present, regardless of their number, constitute a quorum. Resolutions may be adopted by an absolute majority of the votes present. Argentine law, and our bylaws, requires in connection with extraordinary meetings, that a quorum consist of 60% of the stock entitled to vote. However, if such quorum is not present at the first meeting, our bylaws provide that a second meeting may be called and may be held with the number of shareholders present. In both ordinary and extraordinary meetings, decisions are adopted by an absolute majority of votes present at the meeting, except for certain fundamental matters (such as mergers and spin-offs (when we are not the surviving entity and the surviving entity is not listed on any stock exchange), anticipated liquidation, change in its domicile outside of Argentina, total or partial recapitalization of its statutory capital following a loss, any transformation in our corporate legal form or a substantial change in our corporate purpose, or the issue of bonds) which require an approval by vote of the majority of all the stock entitled to vote (all stock being entitled to only one vote.
|
Rule 5620(b) -- Solicitation of Proxies.
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5620(b), we follow Argentine law which requires that notices of shareholders’ meetings be published, for five consecutive days, in the Official Gazette and in a widely published newspaper in Argentina no earlier than 45 calendar days prior to the meeting and at least 20 calendar days prior to such meeting. In order to attend a meeting and be listed on the meeting registry, shareholders are required to submit evidence of their book-entry share account held at Caja de Valores S.A. up to three business days prior to the scheduled meeting date. If entitled to attend the meeting, a shareholder may be represented by proxy (properly executed and delivered with a certified signature) granted to any other person, with the exception of a director, syndic, member of the Comisión fiscalizadora, manager or employee of the issuer, which are prohibited by Argentine law from acting as proxies. In addition, our ADS holders receive, prior to the shareholders’ meeting, a notice listing the matters on the agenda, a copy of the annual report and a voting card.
|
Rule 5630(s) -- Conflicts of Interest
|
In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5630(a), we follow Argentine law which requires that related party transactions be approved by the audit committee when the transaction exceeds one percent (1%) of the corporation’s net worth, measured pursuant to the last audited balance sheet,. Directors can contract with the corporation only on an arm’s length basis. If the contract is not in accordance with prevailing market terms, such transaction must be pre-approved by the board of directors (excluding the interested director). In addition, under Argentine law, a shareholder is required to abstain from voting on a business transaction in which its interests may be in conflict with the interests of the company. In the event such shareholder votes on such business transaction and such business transaction would not have been approved without such shareholder’s vote, such shareholder may be liable to the company for damages and the resolution may be declared void.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cresud Sociedad Anómina, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cresud Sociedad Anómina, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2014 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also, in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) because a material weakness in internal control over the financial reporting related to the accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine, complex contractual provisions related to an acquisition of an associate existed as of that date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness referred to above is described in Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting appearing under Item 15. We considered this material weakness in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2014 consolidated financial statements and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in management’s report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note 2 (ii) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2014 consolidated financial statements to correct an error.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

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 2.3.for a description of the Group’s companies.
As of the end of year, the Group operates in two major lines of business: (i) Agricultural business, (ii) Urban Properties and Investments business. See Note 6 for a description of the Group’s segments.
The Group’s Agricultural business operations are comprised of crop production, cattle feeding, raising, fattening and slaughtering, milk production, sugarcane production and brokerage activities. 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 Urban Properties and Investments 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 42.95% stake in a credit card company ("Tarshop S.A."). 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.
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.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
|
Subsequent to the original issuance of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Group determined they contained an error resulting from the misunderstanding of certain terms and conditions of the IDBD transaction. As part of the IDBD transaction and as further explained in Note 3, Dolphin Netherlands B.V. committed to execute future purchase offers of additional IDBD shares on December 31, 2015 and 2016 at predetermined prices. This commitment represented a derivative financial instrument for the Group as of June 30, 2014, which should have been measured at fair value as of that date. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument represented a loss for the Group for the year ended June 30, 2014.
These consolidated financial statements, as initially reported, have therefore been amended and restated to correct for the above-explained error. The restatement impacts the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014. There is no impact on the financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and on retained earnings as of July 1, 2013.
As a result of the restatement, non-current liabilities have been increased by Ps. 320.8 million, accumulated deficit have been increased by Ps. 315.6 and cumulative translation adjustment have been increased by Ps. 5.2. As a result of the above adjustment, the basic loss per share figure increased from Ps. 1.79 per share to Ps. 2.15 per share, and the diluted loss per share increased from Ps. 1.79 per share to Ps. 2.15 per share.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 of the Group (Restated) were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Group on October 22, 2014. The previously issued consolidated financial statements of the Group as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Group on September 8, 2014. The restated consolidated financial statements have been updated for the effects of events up to October 22, 2014.

The operating cycle for the activities of investment property, hotels and agricultural operations of the Group is 12 months. As such, current assets and current liabilities include assets and liabilities that are either realized or settled within 12 months from the end of the fiscal year. The operating cycle of the Group’s trading property activities depends on each specific project, and thus cannot be clearly defined. Generally, assets and liabilities classified as trading properties are realized and settled in several years, ranging between 1 and 3 years or, in exceptional cases, even longed. As such, for purposes of classification, the Group has assumed the operating cycle for the activities to be 12 months.
All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities (income tax payable) are presented separately from each other and from other assets and liabilities as current and non-current, respectively.

Presentation currency
|
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Argentine Pesos. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references to ‘Peso amounts’ or ‘Ps.’, are to Argentine Pesos, references to ‘US$’ or ‘US dollars’ are to United States dollars and references to ‘Rs.’ are to Brazilian Reais.

|
Fiscal and harvest year-end
|
The fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. However, the Group’s agricultural production is based on the harvest year for crops. A harvest year varies by plant according to the climate in which it is grown. Due to the geographic diversity of the farms, the planting period for a given plant may start earlier on one farm than on another, causing differences in their respective harvesting periods. The financial results are presented on a fiscal year basis.

|
Accounting conventions
|
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, share-based payments at fair value, biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest measured at fair value less costs to sell, and agricultural produce after harvest measured at net realizable value.

Reporting cash flows
|
The Group reports cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. Interest paid is presented within financing cash flows. Interest received is presented within investing activities. The acquisitions and disposals of investment properties are disclosed as cash flows from investing activities because this most appropriately reflects the Group’s business activities. Cash flows in respect to trading properties are disclosed as cash flows from operating activities because these items are routinely sold in the ordinary course of business.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements at a certain date requires the Management of the Group 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. The most significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the major sources of uncertainty are described in Note 5.

New accounting standards
|
The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB as per its English acronym) and by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“CINIIF”)(“IFRIC”, as per its English acronym and known before as the Standards Interpretation Committee “SIC”, as per its English acronym). Below we outline the standards, amendments and interpretations that may potentially have an impact on the Group.
IFRS 15 “Revenues from contracts with customers”
On May 28, 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board has published the new IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers” (IFRS 15) that replaces IAS 11 “Construction contracts”, IAS 18 “Revenue from ordinary operating activities”, IFRIC 13 “Customer loyalty programs”, IFRIC 15 “Agreements for the construction of real estate”, IFRIC 18 “Transfer of assets from customers” and SIC 31 “Revenue – Barter transactions involving advertising services”.
IFRS 15 provides the new revenue recognition model derived from contracts with customers. The core principle underlying the model is satisfaction of a performance obligations assumed with customers. IFRS 15 bases this principle on a single, five-step model that is developed extensively and in detail, including examples.
The new model of ordinary income applies to all contracts with customers, other than those covered by other IFRSs, such as leases, insurance and financial instruments contracts. The standard does not address recognition of interest or dividend income.

(All amounts in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
IFRS 15 becomes effective for all fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2017 and may be adopted earlier. Application is retroactive. On the balance sheet date, the Company has not assessed the impact that this standard shall have on its financial position and the results of its operations.
IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
On July 24, 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board released the final version of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”, which includes in one single standard all stages of the IASB project to replace IAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement”. Such stages are classification and measurement of instruments, impairment and accounting for hedging. This version adds a new impairment model based on expected losses and introduces some minor amendments to the classification and measurement of financial assets. The new standard replaces all previous versions of IFRS 9 and becomes effective for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2018, that is, in the case of the Group for financial statements ended on June 30, 2019.
The Group has adopted the first stages of IFRS 9 to the transition date.
IAS 27 (revised) “Separate financial statements”
On August 12, 2014 the International Accounting Standards Board has released an amendment to IAS 27 “Equity method in Separate Financial Statements”. The amendment reinstates the equity method as an option to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in separate financial statements. The amendment becomes effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2016; that is, in the case for the Group for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2017. It may be applied earlier. Implementation of this amendment will impact on the preparation of the Group separate financial statements. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact on the preparation of the separate financial statements as of these financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and IAS 38 “Intangible Assets”
On May 12, 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board has released amendments to the IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and IAS 38 “Intangible assets” denominated “Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization” (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38)”. The amendments provide further guidance on the calculation of depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Amendments become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2016; hence, in the case of the Group, they become effective for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. It may be applied earlier. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact in the preparation of separate financial statements on this balance sheet date.

Amendments to IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”
On May 6, 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board has released amendments to IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, entitled “Accounting for acquisition of interests in joint operations (Amendment to IFRS 11)”. The amendments clarify accounting for such acquisitions where the business involves joint operations. The amendments become effective for the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2016; that is, in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. It may be applied earlier. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact on the preparation of the separate financial statements on this balance sheet date.
IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
On May 12, 2011 the IASB issued IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” that provides in a single accounting pronouncement a unified framework for measuring fair value of financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRSs. IFRS 13 shall apply to all other pronouncements that require or allow measurement at fair value. IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. The standard provides a three-level hierarchy of methods for arriving at fair value. The hierarchy is based on how observable inputs are. The Group has adopted IFRS 13 for this fiscal year. The adoption of this standard has not led to material amendments to valuation methodologies used by the Group, although it has resulted in the introduction of some additional disclosures to financial statements.
IAS 32 “Financial instruments: Presentation”
The IASB has modified the IAS 32 implementation guidance and clarified some of the conditions for financial assets and liabilities to be offset in the balance sheet. Amendments do not modify the current offsetting model provided by IAS 32 but rather clarify that the right to offset should be available as of the offsetting date (that is, it should not depend on a future event) and should be legally binding upon all parties in the normal course of business, as well as in the case of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. Amendments also describe certain settlement arrangements and specify whether they meet the offsetting requirements established by the standard.
Amendments are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1st, 2014. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of these amendments would neither have significant impacts in the financial situation nor in results from Group’s operations.
IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”
The IASB has made amendments to IAS 36, requiring additional disclosures related to recoverable value of non-financial assets. This amendment eliminates certain requirements related to the disclosure of recoverable values of cash-generating units that had been included in IAS 36 with the publication of IFRS 13.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Amendments are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1st, 2014, and shall be applied retrospectively. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Group is analyzing the impact of the adoption of these amendments in the financial situation and in results of its operations.
IFRIC 21 “Levies”
IFRIC 21 provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a levy imposed by government, other than income tax, both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and those where the timing and amount of the levy is certain.
IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will neither have significant impacts in the financial situation nor in results from Group’s operations.
On the issue date of these financial statements there are no other standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB and IFRIC that are yet to become effective and that are expected to have a material effect on the Group.

Scope of consolidation
|
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group also analyze whether there is control when it does not hold more than 50% of the voting rights of an entity, but does have capacity to define its relevant activities because of de-facto control.
There may be de-facto control where the relative size of voting rights held by the Group in an entity in relation to the size and dilution of other shareholders gives the Group power to define the relevant activities of such entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are charged to expense as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
IFRS 3 “Business Combination” allows up to 12 months to finalize the accounting for a business combination. Where the accounting for a business combination is not complete by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurred, the Group reports provisional amounts.
The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
The excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statements as “Bargain purchases gains”.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains and/or losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The majority of subsidiaries have the same year-end as the Group’s, however, a small number of subsidiaries have different year-ends. In these circumstances, special-purpose financial statements prepared as of June 30 of each year are used for purposes of the Group consolidation.
The Group conducts its business through several operating and holding subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the subsidiaries listed below have share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares, which are held directly or indirectly by the Group and the proportion of ownership interests held equals to the voting rights held by the Group.
The country of incorporation or registration is also their place of business. Subsidiaries are shown in alphabetical order.
Ownership interest is shown considering ultimate percentage held by the Company. Subsidiaries are either controlled directly by the Company (i.e. IRSA), or indirectly by other subsidiary (i.e. APSA through IRSA).

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects in order to determine which non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are considered significant. In quantitative terms, the investments that individually represent at least 20% of the total equity attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries at the each year end. Therefore, in qualitative terms, are considered, among other factors, the specific risks to which each company is exposed to, their returns and the importance that each of them has for the Group.
Summarized financial information on subsidiaries with material non-controlling interests and other information are included in Note 7.
(b)
|
Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
|
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The recorded amount is the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and/or receive and the relevant share acquired and/or given of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary.
(c)
|
Disposal of subsidiaries with loss of control
|
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost, with changes in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and less than 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, except as otherwise indicated as explained below.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Restated) (Continued)
(All amounts in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
The Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the income statements, and its share of post- acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group recognizes such losses until the carrying amount of the associate reduces to zero, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to ‘share of profit / (loss) of an associate’ in the income statements.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognized in the Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
For purposes of including the earnings of associates by applying the equity method, the Group uses financial statements of the associates as of the same date or a or a later date, provided the difference between the reporting date of the associate and that of the Group cannot be longer than three months. In these cases, the Group assesses and adjusts the results of such associates for material transactions or other material events occurred during the interim period.
The Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects in order to determine which non-controlling interests in associates are considered significant. In quantitative terms, the investments that individually represent at least 20% of the result of joint ventures in the Consolidated Income statements, and at least 20% of the total equity attributable to non-controlling interest in joint ventures at the each year-end are considered significant. Therefore, in qualitative terms, are considered, among other factors, the specific risks to which each company is exposed to, their returns and the importance that each of them has for the Group.
As indicated above, the Group generally accounts for its investments in associates under the equity method. However, IAS 28 “Investments in Associates” provides an exemption from applying the equity method where investments in associates are held through “Venture Capital Organizations” (VCO) or venture capital entities, as defined in Spanish, even when the Group is not a VCO. This type of investment may be accounted for at fair value with changes in net income for the years because such measure proves to be more useful to users of financial statements than the equity method.
Summarized financial information and other information for associates are included in Note 9.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group and other party or parties have joint control bound by a contractual arrangement. Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method.
Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition of profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income in the income statements and in other comprehensive income respectively.
When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the joint ventures is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the difference to ‘share of profit / (loss) of an associate and joint venture’ in the income statements.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Summarized financial information and other information for significant joint ventures are included in Note 8.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), the Group’s Executive Committee. This CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Committee of the Group that makes strategic decisions. The operating segments are included in Note 6.

Foreign currency translation
|
(a)
|
Functional and presentation currency
|
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Argentine Pesos, which is the Group’s presentation currency.
(b)
|
Transactions and balances
|
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or loss for the year.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statements within finance costs and finance income, as appropriate, unless they are capitalized as explained in Note 2.22.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
|
The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i)
|
Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that financial position;
|
(ii)
|
Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
|
(iii)
|
All resulting exchange differences are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
|
On the disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation) all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the equity holders of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
In the case of a partial disposal that does not result in the Group losing control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Investment properties
Investment properties are those properties owned by the Group that are held either to earn long-term rental income or for capital appreciation, or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group. Properties owned by the Group occupied by associates or joint ventures are accounted for as investment properties in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Investment property also includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. The Group also classifies land whose future use has not been determined yet as investment properties.
Where a property is partially occupied by the Group, with the rest being held for rental income or capital appreciation, the Group accounts for the portions separately. The portion that is occupied by the Group is accounted for as property, plant and equipment under IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and the portion that is held for rental income or capital appreciation, or both, is treated as investment properties under IAS 40 “Investment Property”.
The Group’s investment properties primarily comprise the Group’s portfolio of shopping centers and offices, farmland leased out to third parties, certain property under development and undeveloped land.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost. Cost comprises the purchase price and including directly attributable expenditures, such as legal fees, certain direct taxes, letting fees and in the case of properties under construction, the capitalization of financial costs.
For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating. Capitalized costs include mainly the part attributable to third-party service costs, as well as the materials necessary for construction. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the property reaches the operating conditions indicated above.
Direct expenses related to lease contract negotiation (as well as payment to third parties for services rendered and certain specific taxes related to execution of such contracts) are capitalized as part of the book value of the relevant investment properties and amortized over the term of the lease.
Borrowing costs associated with direct expenditure on properties under development or undergoing major refurbishment are capitalized. The finance cost capitalized is calculated using the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowings after adjusting for borrowings associated with specific developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross interest incurred on those borrowings less any investment income arising on their temporary investment. Finance cost is capitalized as from the commencement of the development work until the date of practical completion. The capitalization of finance costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. Finance cost is also capitalized on the purchase cost of land or property acquired specifically for redevelopment in the short term but only where activities necessary to prepare the asset for redevelopment are in progress.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The Group has adopted the cost model for all of its investment properties. Therefore, at the date of each statement of financial position, investment properties are carried at amortized cost, less impairment losses, if any. Under the cost model, an investment property is impaired if its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Where individual components of an item of investment property have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items, which are depreciated separately. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. These costs may include the cost of improving or replacing parts that are eligible for capitalization when the costs of replacing the parts are incurred. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statements during the period in which they are incurred.
If an investment property becomes occupied by the Group, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment at the commencement of such occupation. An item of property occupied by the Group is reclassified to investment property when its use has changed and occupation by the Group ceases. Where an investment property undergoes a change in use, evidenced by commencement of development with a view to sale, the property is transferred to trading properties.
Transfers in and out of the respective categories as described above do not change the carrying amount of the properties transferred, and they do not change the cost of the properties for measurement or disclosure purposes.
Land and property under constructions are not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Shopping center portfolio
|
Between 10 and 29 years
|
Offices and other rental properties portfolio
|
Between 9 and 25 years
|
At each period-end, assets are reviewed for any sign of impairment to its recoverable value, and/or residual useful life of the assets. Should there be any sign of impairment, the recoverable amount and/or the useful life of the impaired assets is estimated, and then they are adjusted, if applicable.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to the asset’s recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (See Note 2.10).
Asset transfers, whether assets classified under investments properties are reclassified under other items or vice-versa, may only be carried out where there is a change of use evidenced by: a) commencement of occupation by the owner, where investment property is transferred to property, plant and equipment; b) commencement of development activities for sale purposes, where investment property is transferred to trading properties; c) the end of owner occupation, where it is transferred from property, plant and equipment to investment property; or d) commencement of an operating lease transactions with a third party, where trading properties is transferred to investment property.

The Group may sell its investment property when it considers that such property no longer forms part of the lease business. Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected to arise from their disposals. Gains or losses on disposals or retirements of investment properties are determined by comparing the net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts at the date of disposal. The gains or losses are recognized in the income statements and disclosed separately under the line item “Gain from disposal of investment property”. Proceeds from the sale of such property are accounted for when the material risks and benefits have been transferred to the purchaser. As for unconditional agreements, proceeds are accounted for generally when title to property passes to the buyer and the buyer intends to make the respective payment therefor. In the case of conditional agreements, the sale is accounted for where such conditions have been met. Where consideration receivable for the sale of the properties is deferred, it is discounted to present value. The difference between the discounted amount and the amount receivable is treated as interest income and recognized over the period using the effective interest method.

Property, plant and equipment
|
This category primarily comprises land used for agricultural purposes, buildings or portions of a building used for administrative and corporate purposes, computers, motor vehicles, furniture, fixtures and fittings and improvements to the Group’s corporate offices.
The Group has also several hotel properties. Based on the respective contractual arrangements with hotel managers, the Group considers it retains significant exposure to the variations in the cash flows of the hotel operations, and accordingly, hotels are treated as owner-occupied properties and classified under property, plant and equipment.
All property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are stated at historical cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating. Capitalized costs include mainly the part attributable to third-party service costs, as well as the materials necessary for construction. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the property reaches the operating conditions indicated above.
Borrowing costs incurred for the purpose of acquiring, constructing or producing a qualifying PPE are capitalized as part of its cost. A qualifying PPE is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Borrowing costs are capitalized while acquisition, construction or production is actively underway and cease once the asset is substantially complete or suspended if the development of the asset is suspended.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. These costs may include the cost of improving or replacing parts that are eligible for capitalization. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statements during the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the assets’ estimated useful lives, as follows:
Hotel buildings and facilities
|
Between 14 and 24 years
|
Other buildings and facilities
|
Between 20 and 50 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
Between 3 and 10 years
|
Machinery and equipment
|
Between 3 and 10 years
|
Vehicles
|
5 years
|
Others
|
3 years
|
The assets’ net book amount and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each financial year-end.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (See Note 2.10).
Gains from the sale of these assets are recognized when the significant risks and rewards have transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place on unconditional exchange, generally when legal title passes to the buyer and it is probable that the buyer will pay. For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds, with the carrying amount. Gains and losses from the disposal of farmlands are disclosed within “Gains from disposal of farmlands” in the income statements. All other gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment items are recognized within “Other operating income, net” in the income statements.
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement.

A Group company is the lessor:
Operating lease - properties leased out to tenants under operating leases are included in “Investment properties” in the statement of financial position. See Note 2.28 for the recognition of rental income (Finance lease – the Group does not have any assets leased out under finance leases).
A Group company is the lessee:
Operating lease – leases in which substantially all risks and rewards of ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are classified as operating leases.
The Group has entered into some operating lease agreements, mainly related to farming activities. By virtue of these contracts, the Group leases land open for agricultural exploitation during the harvest year. The lease price is generally set at a fixed amount in dollars or at a certain number of quintals of soybeans (or equivalent measurement unit) during the entire lease term. Lease payments can be made in installments or in advance at the beginning of the lease. The lease costs are recognized in the income statements in relation to the degree of ripeness of the harvest since the Group considers that this systematic base is more representative of the time pattern of the leases’ benefits.
Additionally, the Group acts as a lessee in other operating leases, mainly related to agricultural business. Payments, including prepayments, made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Finance lease – leases of assets where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Capitalized lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. The finance charges are charged to the income statements over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in current and non-current borrowings. Leases where the Group acts as lessee under finance leases include machinery and computer equipment.

Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognized by the Group on an acquisition. Goodwill is initially measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquiree; and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date.
At acquisition goodwill is allocated to those cash generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing (See Note 2.10). Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included within “Intangible assets” in the statement of financial position.
Goodwill may also arise upon investments in associates and joint ventures, being the surplus of the cost of investment over the Group’s share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets. Such goodwill is recorded within investments in associates or joint ventures and tested for impairment as part of the overall balances.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of foreign entities is treated as an asset of the foreign entity denominated in the local currency and translated at the closing rate.
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 years.
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met: (i) it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use; (ii) management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it; (iii) there is an ability to use or sell the software product; (iv) it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits; (v) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and (vi) the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software product include the software development, employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.
Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which does not exceed 3 years.
The Group acquired certain rights to exploit land and facilities. These rights primarily comprise the right to exploit the land and attached buildings and facilities known as Arcos del Gourmet (“Arcos”) and the “Anta Right Agreement”.
The Arcos land and attached facilities is owned by Administration of Railway Infrastructure ("ADIF"), a governmental agency created for the management of certain State property, particularly assets pertaining to the railway system. The Arcos (or "Arches") are the old warehouse and adjacent spaces below the tracks of the San Martin railway lines which were abandoned. The Group intends to develop an open air shopping project comprising shops, restaurants, cultural spaces and other facilities. The right was acquired as part of the Arcos acquisition and is carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the period in which the economic benefits from the use of the asset. The right of use of Arcos will start to accrue economic benefits once construction works are completed. The Group must pay ADIF a fee on a monthly basis.
The Anta Right Agreement comprises the right to exploit 132,000 hectares of land for agriculture purposes in the Province of Salta, in Northern Argentina, under an agreement with the Provincial Government expiring on November 2038 with an option to extend it for an additional 29-year period.
The right was acquired by the Group in December 2005 and is carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over 35 years. Under the Anta Right Agreement, the Group must pay to the Province of Salta a fee equivalent to a 10% of the annual turnover obtained by the development of the premises.

Right to receive future units under barter agreements
|
The Group also enters into barter transactions where the Group normally exchanges undeveloped parcels of land with third-party developers for future property to be constructed on the bartered land. The Group generally receives monetary assets as part of the transactions and/or a right to receive future units to be constructed by developers. Such rights are initially recognized at cost (which is the fair value of the land assigned) and such rights are not adjusted later, unless there is any sign of impairment.

Impairment of assets
|
(a) Goodwill
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows, known as cash-generating units (“CGU”). In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognized, the carrying amount of the CGU or groups of CGUs is compared to their recoverable amount. Net book value of CGU and group of CGUs include goodwill and assets with limited useful life, including investment properties, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and working capital net.
If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are recorded in the income statement as a deduction from operating income and not reversed in a subsequent period.
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs-to-sell and its value-in-use. Fair value less costs to sell is the best estimate of the amount obtainable from the sale of a CGU in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the CGUs or groups of CGUs.
(b) Property, plant and equipment, investment property and finite-life intangible assets
At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, investment property and finite-life intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the income statements.
Assets or CGU that have suffered an impairment loss are revised as of each balance sheet date to assess a potential reversal of such impairment. The impairment loss recognized in prior fiscal years may only be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to assess the recoverable value of assets or the CGU since the recognition of the impairment loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, not to exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the income statements.
Trading properties comprises those properties either intended for sale in the process of construction for sale. Trading properties are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Where there is a change in use of investment properties evidenced by the commencement of development with a view to sale, the properties are reclassified as trading properties at their cost, which is the carrying value at the date of change in use. They are subsequently carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the trading properties to their present location and condition.
For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating. Capitalized costs include mainly the part attributable to third-party service costs, as well as the materials necessary for construction. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the property reaches the operating conditions indicated above.
Borrowing costs incurred for the purpose of acquiring, constructing or producing a qualifying trading properties are capitalized as part of its cost. A qualifying trading property is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Borrowing costs are capitalized while acquisition, construction or production is actively underway and cease once the asset is substantially complete or suspended if the development of the asset is suspended.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete redevelopment and selling expenses. If the net realizable value is lower than the carrying amount, a write down is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its net realizable value. Write-downs are reversed when circumstances that caused the write-down cease to exist, or when net realizable value increases.
Inventories include assets held for sale in the ordinary course of the Group’s business activities, assets in production or construction process for sale purposes, and materials, supplies or other assets held for consumption in the process of producing sales and/or services. Inventories primarily comprise harvested agricultural produce and consumable supplies, inventories from hotel properties, and other supplies and materials required to offer different services.

Consumable supplies comprise fertilizers, agrochemicals, vaccines, seeds, feed for livestock and other items used in the Group’s farming activities. Harvested agricultural produce comprise harvested crops, and raw meat.
For the Group’s operations in Argentina and Brazil, harvested crops are perpetually measured at net realizable value until the point of sale because there is an active market in the produce, there is a negligible risk that the produce will not be sold and there is a well-established practice in the industry carrying the inventories at net realizable value. Changes in net realizable value are recognized in the income statements in the period in which they arise under the line item “Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest”.
On the other hand, 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 in that country. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.
Consumable supplies and inventories from hotel operations and the rest of materials and assets classified in this category are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of consumable supplies and hotel inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method, whereas the cost of the hotel inventories is determined using the first-in-first out method.
Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Inventories are recorded at the cash cost and the difference between that and the actual amount paid is treated as finance cost.

Biological assets and agriculture produce at the point of harvest
|
Biological assets comprise unharvested crops (mainly corn, wheat, soybeans and sunflower), sugarcane, livestock (breeding and dairy cattle and cattle held for sale or meat production) and other less significant biological assets such as sheep and tree plantations.
The Group distinguishes between consumable and bearer biological assets. “Consumable” biological assets are those assets that may be harvested as agricultural produce or sold as biological assets, for example livestock intended for the production of meat and/or livestock held for sale. “Bearer” biological assets are those assets capable of producing more than one harvest, for example sugarcane, dairy cattle and breeding cattle. Consumable biological assets are generally classified as current while bearer biological assets are generally classified as non-current.
Expenses relating to the agricultural activity include items as planting, harvesting, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers, veterinary services and others. The Group elected to expense all such costs when incurred and includes them as “Cost of agriculture production” within “Costs” in the income statements (See Note 32). Therefore, “Cost of agriculture production” represents the costs expensed whilst the biological assets are growing.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The line item “Cost of sales of biological assets and agricultural produce” within “Costs” in the income statements represents the recognition as an expense of agricultural produce held in inventory, valued at either cost or net realizable value, as applicable (See Note 2.12), or biological assets valued at fair value less costs to sell.
The fair value of a biological asset in its present location and condition is determined based on either the present value of expected net cash flows from the biological asset discounted at a current market-determined pre-tax rate or the current quoted market price in the most relevant market.
Biological assets 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. Costs to sell include all incremental costs directly attributable to the sale of the biological assets, excluding finance costs and income taxes.
In determining the fair value of a biological asset based on the expected net discounted cash flows, the following factors have been taken into account:
(i) The productive life of the asset;
(ii) The period over which the asset will mature;
(iii) The expected future sales price;
(iv) The cost expected to arise throughout the life of the asset; and
(v) A pre-tax nominal discount rate.
Expected future sale prices for all biological assets are determined by reference to observable data in the relevant market. Costs expected to arise throughout the life of the biological assets are estimated based on historical and statistical data.

The gain or loss arising from initial recognition of a biological asset at fair value less costs to sell and from a change in fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred within the line item “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest”.
Agricultural produce harvested from the Group’s biological assets is initially measured at its fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. The fair value of agricultural produce is determined based on market price in the most relevant markets of each product. The gain or loss arising from initial recognition of agricultural produce as a result of harvesting is also recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it arises in the line item “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest”. Harvested produce is transferred to inventory at their fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. See Note 2.12 for measurement of inventories.

Financial instruments
|
The Group has adopted IFRS 9 in advance as well as the related consequential amendments to other IFRSs, because this new accounting policy provides reliable and more relevant information for users to assess the amounts, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows.
Accordingly, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured at amortized cost. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is a debt or an equity investment.
Debt investments
(i) Financial assets at amortized cost
A debt investment is classified as “amortized cost” only if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. The nature of any derivatives embedded in the debt investment are considered in determining whether the cash flows of the investment are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and are not accounted for separately.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
|
As of the end of the current financial statements, the Group’s financial assets at amortized cost comprise certain items of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, net and investment in financial assets.
(ii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
If either of the two criteria above is not met, the debt instrument is classified as “fair value through profit or loss”. The Group has not designated any debt investment as measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch.
Changes in fair values and gains from disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (except for derivative financial instruments mentioned in Note 2.15) are recorded within “Financial results, net” in the income statements.
As of the end of the current financial statements, the Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise derivative financial instruments, mutual funds, mortgage bonds, government bonds and preferred shares, among others.
Equity investments
All equity investments, which are not subsidiaries, associate companies and joint venture of the Group, 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 decided to recognize changes in the fair value of equity investments through profit or loss.
Changes in fair values and gains or losses from disposal of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss and dividends income are recorded within “Financial results, net” in the income statements.
(b)
|
Recognition and measurement
|
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
|
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value though profit or losses are expensed in the income statements.
In general, the Group uses the transaction price method to determine fair value of a financial instrument upon initial recognition. In the other cases, the Group merely records a gain or a loss upon initial recognition only if the fair value of the instrument is supported by other comparable and observable current market transactions in the same instrument or from other available observable market data. Any gain or loss not recognized upon initial recognition of a financial asset are recognized later, only to the extent that there are changes in the factors (including time) that market participants would consider at the time of agreeing upon a price.
A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired and through the amortization process using the effective interest rate method.
All equity investments, which are not subsidiaries, associate companies and joint ventures of the Group, are measured at fair value.
The Group is required to reclassify all affected debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
(c)
|
Impairment of financial assets
|
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that impairment can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
|
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statements. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statements.

Offsetting financial instruments
|
Financial assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.14.
|
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
|
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
The Group manages exposures to various risks using hedging instruments that provide the appropriate economic outcome. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To date, the Group has used future contracts, commodities put and call options, foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps as deemed appropriate.
The Group’s policy is to apply hedge accounting to hedging relationships where it is both permissible under IFRS 9, practical to do so and its application reduces volatility, but transactions that may be effective hedges in economic terms may not always qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. To date the Group has not applied hedge accounting to any of its derivative financial instruments. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability on the statement of financial position. Gains and losses on derivatives are classified according to their nature. Gains and losses on commodity derivatives are classified within “Other operating income, net”. Gain and losses on all other derivatives are classified in the income statements where the results of the items covered are recognized.

The fair values of financial instruments that are traded in active markets are computed by reference to market prices. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end as each reporting period.

Groups of assets and liabilities available for sale.
|
Groups of assets and liabilities are classified as available for sale when the Group is expected to recover their value by means of a sale transaction (rather than through use) and where such sale is highly probable. Groups of assets and liabilities available for sale are valued at the lower of their net book value and fair value less selling costs.
This item is comprised by cash in escrow from tenant deposits and perceptions received as prepayment for taxes of a building administrated by the Company, deposits in investment mutual funds held as guarantee of certain short and long term loans, obtained for financing harvest expenses, development of lands and acquisitions of farmlands. According to the IFRS 9, these escrow accounts are to be accounted for as financial assets, and are initially recognized at fair value and then, at amortized cost.
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
An impairment provision of doubtful accounts is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.
In the case of larger homogeneous receivables, the impairment provision is calculated on an individual basis. When individually assessed, the Group records an provision for impairment which amounts to the difference between the value of the discounted expected future cash flows of the receivable and its carrying amount, taking into account the existing collateral, if any. This provision takes into consideration the financial situation of the debtor, the resources, payment record and, if applicable, the realizable value of any collateral.

The Group collectively evaluates for impairment smaller-balance homogeneous receivables, which are grouped on the basis of similar risk characteristics, taking into account asset type, past-due status and other relevant factors. The Group applies allowance factors, which in the judgment of management represent the expected losses over the life of the receivables. In determining those factors, the Group considers the following: (i) delinquencies, (ii) loss history and the general behavior of clients, (iii) trends in volume and terms of receivables, (iv) the experience and depth of the debtors’ management, (v) national and local economic trends, (vi) concentrations of credit by individual credit size and by class of receivable, and (vii) the effect of external factors.
The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statements within “Selling expenses”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against “Selling expenses” in the income statements.
Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Group generally 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 the leases period (which is generally 3 years). The deposits generally amount to one month of lease rentals. In accordance with IFRS 9, such deposits are treated as both a financial assets and a financial liability, 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 (refer to Note 2.28 for the recognition of rental income). The deposits are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of costs incurred in the transaction. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized as finance cost over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
In accordance with what we mentioned above, the Group capitalizes borrowing costs on qualifying investment properties, property, plant and equipment and trading properties.
Provisions are recognized when (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as finance cost.

The Group operates a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the income statements when they are incurred.
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.
The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where it is contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Share-based payments
|
The Group operates an equity incentive plan, under which certain selected employees, directors and top management of the Company, IRSA and APSA have a right to receive shares of their respective employer companies, although they must remain with the employer entity for a certain period of time.
The Group’s subsidiary undertaking, Brasilagro, also operates a stock option plan, under which Brasilagro receives services from certain directors and top management. Additionally, Brasilagro issued warrants as consideration for the services received from its founding shareholders. On the other hand, the Group’s subsidiary Jaborandí S.A. issued warrants in exchange for services received from its shareholders.

The fair value of the equity settled awards is measured at the date of grant. Management measures the fair value using the valuation technique that it considers to be the most appropriate to value each class of award. Methods used may include Black-Scholes calculations or other models as appropriate. The valuations take into account factors such as non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.
The fair value of the equity settled awards is recognized as an expense in the income statements over the vesting period on a straight- line basis, taking into consideration the best estimation of the awards that wiil eventually vest.
If an equity instrument is cancelled during the vesting period, it is accounted for as an acceleration of vesting, and the amount that otherwise could have been recognized for services received over the remaining of vesting period is recognized immediately in the income statements. Any payment made by a counterparty due to cancellation of share-based payment shall be accounted for as a repurchase of equity instruments (that is, it is deducted from shareholders’ equity) unless the payment exceeds the fair value of the repurchased equity instruments measure at the repurchase date. The excess, if any, is recognized as an expense.
The Group’s tax expense for the year comprises the charge for tax currently payable and deferred income. Tax is recognized in the income statements, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the closing date of the consolidated financial statements and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except when oportunity of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
The Group is able to control the timing of dividends from its subsidiaries and hence does not expect taxable profit. Hence deferred tax is recognized in respect of the retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries only if at the closing date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, dividends have been accrued as receivable or a binding agreement to distribute past earnings in future has been entered into by the subsidiary.
Entities in Argentina are subject to the Minimum Presumed Income Tax (“MPIT”). Pursuant to this tax regime, an entity is required to pay the greater of the income tax or the MPIT. The MPIT provision is calculated on an individual entity basis at the statutory asset tax rate of 1% and is based upon the taxable assets of each company as of the end of the year, as defined by Argentine law. Any excess of the MPIT over the income tax may be carried forward and recognized as a tax credit against future income taxes payable over a 10-year period. When the Group assesses that it is probable that it will use the MPIT payment against future taxable income tax charges, the Group recognizes the MPIT as a current or non-current receivable, as applicable, within “Trade and other receivables” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Revenue recognition
|
The Group is engaged in diverse operations primarily including agricultural and agro-industrial activities; investment and development properties and hotel operations. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Revenue derived from the sale of goods is recognized when: (a) material risks and benefits derived from title to property have been transferred; (b) the company does not retain any management function on the assets sold nor does it have any control whatsoever on such assets; (c) the amount of revenues and costs associated to the transaction may be measured on a reliable basis; and (d) the company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction.
Revenue derived from the provision of services is recognized when (a) the amount of revenue and costs associated to the services may be measured on a reliable basis; (b) the company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction, and (c) the level of completion of services may be measured on a reliable basis.
Agricultural and agricultural-related activities of the Group:
Revenue from Group’s agricultural activities comes primarily from sales of agricultural produce and biological assets, from provision of services related to the activity and from leases from farmlands.
The Group recognizes revenue on product sales when the agricultural produce or biological assets are delivered and the customers take ownership and assume risk of loss, which is when the products are received by the customer at its or a designated location or collected directly by the customer from the cultivation bases, collection of the relevant receivable is probable and the selling price is fixed or determinable. Net sales of products represent the invoiced value of goods, net of trade discounts and allowances, if any.
The Group also provides agricultural-related (including but not limited to watering and feedlot services) and brokerage services to third parties. Revenue from services is recognized as services are rendered.

The Group also leases land to third parties under operating lease agreements. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Investment property activities:
· Shopping centers portfolio
Revenues derived from business activities developed in the Group’s shopping centers mainly include rental income under operating leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from several services provided to the Group’s lessees.
All lease agreements in Argentina are cancelable pursuant to Argentine Law 23,091 “Lease law” as amended by Law 24,808 “Lease Law”. Under the law, a lease is not cancelable within the first six months of the agreement, but provides that after that initial non-cancelable period, tenants may rescind agreements at any time upon giving prior written notice to lessors. Cancellations are subject to one-and-a-half month’s rent if rescinded during the first year of the lease and one month’s rent if rescinded after the first year of the lease.
The Group analyzed the definition of the lease term in IAS 17, for its cancelable option, and which provides that a non-cancelable lease is a lease that is cancelable only (a) upon the occurrence of some remote contingency, (b) with the permission of the lessor, (c) if the lessee enters into a new lease with the same lessor or (d) upon payment by the lessee of such an additional amount that, at inception of the lease, continuation of the lease is reasonably certain.
The Group considered that all of its operating leases should be considered non-cancellable for accounting. The Group concluded that, even though a lease is cancelable under the law, tenants would incur significant “economic penalties” if the leases are terminated prior to expiry. The Group considered that these economic penalties are of such amount that continuation of the lease contracts by tenants appears to be reasonably certain at the inception of the respective agreements. Group reached this conclusion based on factors such as (i) the strategic geographical location and accessibility to customers of the Group’s investment properties; (ii) the nature and tenure of tenants (mostly well-known local and international retail chains), (iii) limited availability of identical revenue-producing space in the areas where the Group’s investment properties are located; (iv) the tenants’ brand image and other competitive considerations; (v) tenants’ significant expenses incurred in renovation, maintenance and improvements on the leased space to fit their own image; (vi) the majority of the Group’s tenants only have stores in shopping centers with some or none street stores.

Lessees of shopping centers are generally required to pay the higher of: (i) a base monthly rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specific percentage of gross monthly sales recorded by the Lessee (the “Supplementary Rent”), which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of gross sales. Moreover, in accordance with agreements entered into for most locations, the Base Rent is subject to scheduled increases, typically between 7% and 24% per year over the term of the lease.
In addition, some lease contracts include provisions that set forth variable rent based on specific volumes of sales and other types of ratios.
Rental income from shopping center properties leased out under operating leases is recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
Contingent rents, being lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are earned. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.
Tenants in the Group’s shopping centers are also generally charged a non-refundable admission right upon entering a lease contract or renewing an existing one. Admission rights are treated as additional rental income and recognized in the income statements under a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease agreement.
The Group acts as its own leasing agent for arranging and closing lease agreements in its shopping center properties and consequently earns letting fees. Letting fees are paid by tenants upon the successful closing of an agreement. A transaction is considered successfully concluded when both parties have signed the related lease contract. Letting fees received by the Group are treated as additional rental income and are recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreements.
Lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance charges of the Group’s shopping centers are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These common area maintenance charges include all such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the shopping centers. The lessor is responsible for determining the need and suitability of incurring a common area expense. The Group makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group has assessed the substance of the transactions and concluded that the group is acting as a principal since it has exposure to the significant risks and rewards associated with the rendering of services.

Service charge income is presented within rental income and services, separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
Under the lease contracts entered into, lessees also agree to participate in collective promotion funds (“FPC”) to be used in advertising and promoting the Group’s shopping centers. Each lessee’s participation is generally calculated as a percentage of the monthly rent accrued. Revenue so derived is also included under rental income and services segregated from advertising and promotion expenses. Such expenses are charged to income when incurred.
Revenue includes income from managed operations such as car parking lots. In addition, revenue includes income from property management fees. Revenue from services and management fees is recognized on an accrual basis as services are provided.
· Office and other rental properties portfolio
Rental income from office and other rental properties include rental income from office leased out under operating leases, income for services and expenses recovery paid from tenants.
Rental income from office and other rental properties leased out under operating leases is recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
Contingent rents, being lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are earned. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.
Lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance expenses of the Group’s offices and other rental properties are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These common area maintenance expenses include all such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the offices and other rental properties. The Group makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considered that it acts as a principal in these cases. The Group accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as service charge revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are recognized as incurred.

· Development and sale property activities of the Group:
Revenue primarily comprises the proceeds from development and sale of trading properties. 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 (except where payment or completion is expected to occur significantly after exchange). For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.
The Group applies IFRIC 15 “Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate”. IFRIC 15 gives guidance as to which standard applies when accounting for the construction of real estate; that is IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” or IAS 18 “Revenue”. IFRIC 15 interprets that an agreement meets the definition of a construction contract under IAS 11 when the buyer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design of the property either before or during construction. Furthermore, IFRIC 15 interprets that an agreement is for the sale of goods under IAS 18 when construction takes place independently of the agreement and the buyer has only a limited ability to influence the design. The Group has assessed the nature of its agreements and determined that they are within the scope of IAS 18. As a result, the Group recognizes revenue from the sale of open market private homes and commercial units entirely at the point of legal completion in accordance with IAS 18.
The Group also enters into barter transactions where the Group normally exchanges undeveloped parcels of land with third-party developers for future property to be constructed on the bartered land. Sometimes, the Group also receives monetary assets as part of the transactions. The legal title together with all risks and rewards of ownership to the land is transferred to the developer upon sale. The Group generally requires the developer to issue surety insurances or to mortgage the land in favor of the Group as performance guarantee. In the event the developer does not fulfill its obligations, the Group forecloses the land through the execution of the mortgage or the surety insurances, together with a cash penalty.
The Group determines that its barter transactions have commercial substance and that the conditions for revenue recognition on the transfer of land are met at the time the transaction takes place. Revenue is then recognized at the fair value of the goods delivered, adjusted by the amount of cash received, if any. In exchange for the land given up, the Group receives cash, if any, and an in-kind receivable. The in-kind receivable is initially recognized at fair value and is not subsequently remeasured. The in-kind receivable is classified as trading property in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group may sell the residential apartments to third-party homebuyers once they are finalized and transferred from the developer. In these circumstances, revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place when the title deeds are transferred to the homebuyer.
On the other hand, the Group may market the residential apartments during construction or even before construction commences. In these situations, homebuyers generally surrenders a downpayment to the Group with the remaining amount being paid when the developer completes the property and transfers it to the Group, and the Group in turn transfers it to the buyer. Revenue is not recognized until the apartments are completed and the transaction is legally completed, that is when the apartments are transferred to the homebuyers and deeds of title are executed. This is because in the event the residential apartments are not completed by the developer and consequently not delivered to the homebuyer, the Group is contractually obligated to return to the homebuyer any down payment received plus a penalty amount. The Group may then seek legal remedy against the developer for non-performance of its obligations under the agreement. The Group exercised judgment and considers that the most significant risk associated with the asset the Group holds (i.e. the right to receive the apartments) consisting of the unfulfillment of the developer's obligations (i.e. to complete the construction of the apartments) has not been transferred to the homebuyers upon reception of the down payment.
· Hotel operations of the Group:
Revenue from hotel operations primarily comprises room accommodation, catering and other services. Revenue from product sales in hotels are recognized when the product is delivered and the significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer. Revenues from sales of services are recognized when the service is rendered. All revenues are recognized on an accruals basis.
Share Capital, Treasury Stock, Inflation Adjustment of Share Capital, Share Premium, Cost of Treasury Stock

Share repurchases made this fiscal year, as established by the amended CNV Rules issued in relation to the new Capital Markets Act 26.831 and its implementing Executive Order 1023/13 (published by CNV in 2013) are to be recorded as follows: 1) the acquisition cost of the repurchased shares is charged to “Cost of Treasury shares”, 2) the nominal value of the repurchased shares is charged to “Equity Capital”, the proportional part of the adjustment for inflation corresponding to such repurchased shares is charged to “Capital Adjustment”, and is matched by a credit to “Treasury Shares” and “Integral Adjustment of Equity Capital and Treasury Shares”. Upon sale of the treasury shares, the difference between the net realizable value of the treasury shares sold and their acquisition cost shall be recorded, whether it is a gain or a loss, as part of owners’ contributions not yet capitalized to be called “Additional Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock”.
Before CNV rules 2013 become effective, where any Group company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) was deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares were cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares were subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, and was included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
Instruments issued by the Group that will be settled by the Company delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset are classified as equity.
Inflation adjustment of share capital
Under Argentine GAAP, the Group’s financial statements were previously prepared on the basis of general price-level accounting which reflected changes in the purchase price of the Argentine Peso in the historical financial statements through February 28, 2003. The inflation adjustment related to share capital was appropriated to an inflation adjustment reserve that formed part of shareholders' equity. The balance of this reserve could be applied only towards the issuance of common stock to shareholders of the Company. Resolution 592/11 of the CNV requires that at the transition date to IFRS certain equity accounts, such as the inflation adjustment reserve, are not adjusted and are considered an integral part of share capital.

Legal Reserve
According to Argentine law, 5% of the profit of the year is separated to constitute a legal reserve until they reach legal capped amounts (20% of total capital). This legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The Group has not reached the legal limit of this reserve.
Special Reserve
Pursuant to CNV General Ruling No. 609/12, the Company set up a special reserve, to reflect the positive difference between the balance at the beginning of retained earnings disclosed in the first financial statements prepared according to IFRS and the balance at closing of retained earnings disclosed in the last financial statements prepared in accordance with previously effective accounting standards. This reserve may not be used to make distributions in kind or in cash, and may only be reversed to be capitalized, or otherwise to absorb potential negative balances in Retained Earnings.
Reserve for New Developments
The Company and subsidiaries may separate portions of their profits of the year to constitute voluntary reserves according to company law and practice. These special reserves may be for general purposes or for specific uses such as new developments. The voluntary reserves may be released for dividend distribution.
Reserve for the repurchase of securities issued by the Company
On April 11, 2014, Cresud reported on a potential repurchase of shares intended to curb the drop in prices and reduce fluctuations on the Company’s shares and ADR and strengthen its position in the market, thus minimizing potential temporary imbalances that may arise between supply and demand. On that same date, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved a partial release of the account “Reserve for new developments” in an amount of up to Ps. 200 million, in order to appropriate such amount of money to set up a reserve entitled “Reserve for the repurchase of securities”.

Basic profit / (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net profit / (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and when dilutive, adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive shares, including share options, on an as-if converted basis.
In computing diluted profit / (loss) per share, income available to common shareholders used in the basic profit / (loss) per share calculation is adjusted to any other income or loss items that would result from the assumed conversion of potential common shares. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Diluted profit / (loss) per share is based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price over the entire term of the instrument from the standpoint of the security holder. The calculation of diluted profit / (loss) per share excludes potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has considered the dilutive effect of outstanding warrants in calculating diluted profit / (loss) per share. See Note 37 for details.

Acquisition of joint venture
On November 29, 2012, APSA acquired shares of common stock, representing 50% of Entertainment Holdings S.A. (“EHSA”)’s capital stock and votes for Ps. 25.9 million. Additionally, APSA paid Ps. 6.1 million, subject to the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the shares of La Rural S.A.. According to contract’s terms, the amount paid will be returned to the Company, in case mentioned acquisition is not completed. Under the acquisition agreement, APSA is entitled to exercise joint control over EHSA. EHSA is an Argentine company whose main asset consists of an indirect interest of 50% in the capital and voting rights of La Rural S.A. (“LRSA”), whereby it has joint control over this company together with Sociedad Rural Argentina (“SRA”) who owns the remaining 50%. Thus, APSA is the owner of an indirect interest of 25% in LRSA, whose main asset consists of an usufruct agreement on the Predio Ferial de Buenos Aires, located between Cerviño, Sarmiento, Santa Fé Avenues and Oro street, in the city of Buenos Aires (the “Predio Ferial”) entered into with SRA in 1999, owner of such Predio Ferial.
The fair value of the APSA’s investment in the joint venture was determined based on the fair value of EHSA’s net assets, with the rights of use being the main asset. APSA has allocated the price paid at the fair value of the net assets acquired. Such allocation and the goodwill were recognized under the line “Investments in associates and joint venture” in the statement of financial. The amount of Ps. 6.1 million has been included as an asset, in the line trade and other receivables.
The fair value of the rights of use has been determined by the application of the discounted cash flow method. This estimate considered a discount rate that reflects the market assessments regarding uncertainties in terms of the cash flow amount and timing. The amount of net future cash flows was estimated based on the specific features of the property, the agreements in force, market information and future forecasts as of the valuation date. Net income forecasts, revenues growth rates and discount rates are among the most important assumptions used in the valuation.

Acquisition of preferred shares and warrants of Supertel Hospitalitary Inc. (“Supertel”)
On February 2012, the Group, through its subsidiary Real Estate Strategies L.P., acquired 3 million preferred shares (“Preferred Shares”) and 30 million warrants (“Warrants”) of Supertel for a total amount of US$ 30 million.

Supertel owns approximately 80 hotels in 21 states of the United States of America, which are managed by diverse operators and franchises, such as Comfort Inn, Days Inn, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn, Sleep Inn and Super 8, among others.
The mentioned Preferred Shares accrue a preferred dividend of 6.25% per annum and are convertible into 30 million common shares at a rate of 10 common shares for each preferred share. Subject to certain limitations, they can be exercised completely or partially at any time until February, 2017. Preferred shares grant the Group, the same politic rights as those of Supertel’s common shares.
Warrants grant the Group the right to acquire 30 million Supertel’s common shares at a fixed price of US$ 1.20 per share. Subject to certain limitations, these warrants can be exercised at the Group’s option, either fully or partially, at any time until February 2017.
As a holder of the Preferred Shares, the Group has a voting right in Supertel’s Shareholders’ Meetings of approximately 34%.

Acquisitions and disposals (Continued)

Even though the Group exercises material influence on Supertel, neither the Preferred Shares nor the Warrants give the Group access to economic rights associated to Supertel capital stock (the Group does not hold any interest in Supertel capital stock). As a result, the Preferred Shares and the Warrants have been accounted for as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, as established by IFRS 9.
Upon initial recognition, the consideration paid for the preferred shares and warrants was assigned to both instruments based on the relative fair values of those instruments upon acquisition. The fair value of these instruments exceeded the transaction price and were determined using a valuation technique that uses inputs not observable in the market. As a result of the use of this technique, the Group has not recognized a gain at the time of initial recognition in the amount of US$ 7.9 million.
Contribution to Don Mario S.G.R.
On June 29, 2012, the Group, through APSA, effectively made a contribution in the amount of Ps. 10 million to Don Mario S.G.R., a reciprocal guarantee company under Argentine law.

These shares are symbolic and merely represent the Group’s rights in the investment. These shares do not grant control or significant influence over the entity’s activities. APSA must maintain the investment in the SGR for a period of 2 years in order to make use of the tax benefit.

Antitrust Law
Law No. 25,156, known as "Antitrust Law" as amended, prevents anticompetitive practices and requires administrative authorization for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law would lead to market concentration. According to this law, such transactions include mergers, acquisitions and/or transfers either of businesses or assets by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences another party. Transactions completed by entities with an annual sales volume of more than Ps. 200.0 million must be submitted to the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (hereinafter referred to as the "Antitrust Commision") for approval. Certain exemptions apply. Submissions may be filed either prior to the transaction or within a week after its completion. The Antitrust Commision may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) condition the transaction to the accomplishment of certain acts, or (iii) reject the authorization.
In general, acquisitions effected by the Group are within the scope of the Antitrust Law. In this cases, the Group directly requests authorization. In other cases, the Group may request the Antitrust Commision to issue a prior statement about whether a particular transaction should be either notified or submitted for approval by the Group.
As of June 30, 2014, the following cases are pending resolution by the Antitrust Commision:
(i) The Group requested the Antitrust Commission to issue a statement about the Group's obligation to either notify or submit for approval the acquisition of the property formerly owned by Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C.Y F.. The Antitrust Commision stated that the operation had to be notified. The Group appealed this decision. Subsequently, the Court of Appeals confirmed the Antitrust Commission’s decision regarding the obligation to notify and, therefore, on February 23, 2012, local form F1 was filed, which is being processed as of the date hereof.
(ii) Purchase of Arcos shares: On December 3, 2009 the Group requested that the CNDC issued a ruling on the notification requirement. The CNDC confirmed that the transaction had to be notified; as a result, notice was served in December 2010 and as of the balance sheet date it is still pending.
(iii) Acquisition of shares in Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe (NPSF): On August 23, 2011 the Group informed the CNDC of the direct and indirect acquisition of NPSF (APSA directly acquired 33.33% of NPSF and indirectly a 16.66% through its controlled company Torodur SA). To date, the transaction is pending approval.

(iv) Acquisition of shares in Entertainment Holdings SA (EHSA): On December 7, 2012, the Group informed the CNDC of the acquisition of shares in EHSA, which indirectly owns 50% of La Rural S.A. – a company that operates a convention center known as Predio Ferial de Palermo. As of the balance sheet date, the transaction is pending approval by the CNDC.
(v) On November 20, 2009, after the sale of the building Edificio Costeros Dique II, the Group applied to the Antitrust Commision for a consultative opinion on whether IRSA had to notify that transaction or not. The Antitrust Commision stated that there was an obligation to notify the situation. The Group appealed against this decision, but it was confirmed at court. As a consequence, on December 5, 2011, we notified the transaction, which was authorized through Resolution SCI N°. 38, on April 30, 2013.
On June 16, 2012, the Group sold to Cabaña Don Francisco S.A. certain Costeros Dique IV’s functional units, to be used for office space, and complementary units to be used for parking. In addition, the Company assigned upon the purchaser all rights and interests arising from lease agreements involving the conveyed units. As a result, an advisory opinion was requested from the Antitrust Commision as to the need to report such transaction. The inquiry was decided through Ruling SCI 68 issued on May 21, 2014 and provided that the transaction was except from the notification requirement.
4. Financial risk management
Risk management principles and processes
The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks. Financial risks are risks arising from financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during or at the end of the reporting period. Financial risk comprises market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
The Group’s diverse activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks in the normal course of business. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the Group’s capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control the Group’s financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on its internal management risk policies.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, interest bearing assets and liabilities, other financial liabilities, other investments and derivative financial instruments. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to all its subsidiaries companies in order to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group’s management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments. The Group has established a Risk Committee, comprising Senior Management and a member of the Audit Committee, which reviews and oversees management’s compliance with these policies, procedures and limits and has overall accountability for the identification and management of risk across the Group.
This section provides a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
(a)
|
Market risk management
|
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group’s market risks arise from open positions in foreign currencies, interest-bearing assets and liabilities, commodity price risk and equity securities price risks, to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements. Management sets limits on the exposure to these risks that may be accepted, which are monitored on a regular basis.
The examples of sensitivities to market risks included below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the factors may be correlated – for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.

Foreign exchange risk and associated derivative financial instruments:
The Group publishes its consolidated financial statements in Argentine Pesos but conducts business in many foreign currencies. As a result, the Group is subject to foreign currency exchange risk due to exchange rate movements, which affect the Group’s transaction cost. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
The investment and development properties activities and the agro-industrial activities of the Group’s subsidiaries are primarily located in Argentina where the Argentine Peso is the functional currency. The agricultural activities of the Group’s subsidiaries are primarily located in Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia, where the functional currencies are the respective local currencies. A significant majority of the Group’s business activities is conducted in the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries (primarily the Brazilian Real and the Argentine Peso), thus not exposing the Group to foreign exchange risk. However, in the ordinary course of business, the Group transacts in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. These transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars. Net financial position exposure to the US dollar is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by entering into foreign currency derivative instruments and/or by borrowing in foreign currencies. Exposure to other foreign currencies has not been significant to date.
Financial instruments are only considered sensitive to foreign exchange rates where they are not in the functional currency of the entity that holds them. The following table shows the Group’s US dollar-denominated (US$) and new Israeli shekel (NIS), net carrying amounts of its financial instruments broken down by functional currency in which the Group operates for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The amounts are presented in Argentine Pesos, the presentation currency of the Group:

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against the respective functional currencies at year-end would generate an additional loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 for an amount of Ps. 492.96 million, Ps. 269.6 million and Ps. 228.6 million, respectively. A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statements.
Moreover, the Group estimates that, all other factors being equal, an appreciation of the NIS to the US$ by 10% as of the balance sheet date would generate an additional loss before tax by Ps. 4.5 million as of June 30, 2014. A depreciation of 10% of the NIS against functional currencies would have the same and opposite effect on the income statements.
This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view of the foreign exchange risk sensitivity of certain of the Group’s financial instruments. The actual impact of the foreign exchange rate changes on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.
On the other hand, the Group also uses derivative instruments, such as forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 foreign exchange contracts were pending, for a total amount of (Ps. 36,361) and (Ps. 1,454), respectively.
Interest rate risk and associated derivative financial instruments:
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its investments in debt instruments, short-term and long-term borrowings and derivative financial instruments.
The primary objective of the Group’s investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Group. The Group maintains a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including both government and corporate obligations and money market funds.

Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate instruments carry varying degrees of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. In general, longer dated securities are subject to greater interest rate risk than shorter dated securities. While floating rate securities are generally subject to less interest rate risk than fixed rate securities, floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates decrease. Due in part to these factors, the Group’s investment income may fall short of expectations or the Group may suffer losses in principal if securities that have declined in market value due to changes in interest rates are sold. As of June 30, 2014, the nominal value of rate interest swaps was US$ 10 million and Ps. 280 million, and due between September 1 and December 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2103, the nominal value of rate interest swaps was Ps. 404 million and due on December 1, 2019. These agreements were not subject to hedge accounting. On June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Group recorded an asset in the amount of Ps. 1,089 and Ps. 4,259, respectively, related to the estimated fair value of the swaps on that date. The fair value of swaps was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis. On June 30, 2014 and 2013, the impact on the fair value of interest rate swaps in the event of a change in interest rates does not materially affect the results of operations or the financial position of the Group.
The Group’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 25). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group manages this risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities. These activities are evaluated regularly to determine that the Group is not exposed to interest rate movements that could adversely impact its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowing covenants.
The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk exposure by different hedging instruments, including but not limited to interest rate swap, depending on each particular case. For example, interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates or viceversa. Under the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts.

The interest rate risk policy is approved by the Board of Directors. Management analyses the Group’s interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated, taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing sources. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions. Trade payables are normally interest-free and have settlement dates within one year. The simulation is done on a regular basis to verify that the maximum potential loss is within the limits set by management.
The following tables show a breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings per currency denomination and functional currency of the subsidiary issuing the loans (excluding finance leases) for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. All amounts are shown in thousands of Argentine Pesos, the Group’s presentation currency:

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would decrease profit before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. A 1% decrease in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statements. The table below shows the Group’s sensitivity to interest rate risks. The amounts are presented in Argentine Pesos.

This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view of this market risk sensitivity of certain of the Group’s financial instruments. The actual impact of the interest rate changes on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.
Commodity price risk and associated derivative financial instruments:
The Group’s agricultural activities expose it to specific financial risks related to commodity prices. Prices for commodities have historically been cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and changes in capacity within the industry, which affect the profitability of entities engaged in the agricultural industry.
Generally, the Group uses derivative instruments to hedge risks arising out of its agricultural business operations. The Group uses a variety of commodity-based derivative instruments to manage exposure to price volatility stemming from its integrated crop production activities. These instruments consist mainly of crop forwards, future contracts and put and call option contracts. Contract positions are designed to ensure that the Group will receive a defined minimum price for certain quantities of its production. The Group combines option contracts with future contracts only as a means of reducing the exposure towards the decrease in commodity prices, as being a producer means that the price is uncertain until the time the products are harvested and sold. The Group manages maximum and minimum prices for each commodity and the idea is to choose the best spot price at which to sell.

The Group generally covers up to 50% of its crop production in order to finance its operating costs. The hedge consists of taking positions on purchased puts or sold futures and calls that assure a fixed exit price. In the past, the Group has never kept a short position greater than its crop inventories and does not intend to. On the other hand, it is not the Group’s current intention to be exposed in a long derivative position in excess of its actual production.
The following tables show the outstanding positions for each type of derivative contract for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The amounts are presented in thousands of Argentine Pesos.

Commodity future contract fair values are computed with reference to quoted market prices on future exchanges.
Other price risk:
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held in entities that are publicly traded (TGLT, Hersha, IDBD, and Supertel), which are classified on the consolidated statement of financial position at “fair value through profit or loss”. The Group regularly reviews the prices evolution of these equity securities in order to identify significant movements.

Credit risk management
|
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. Credit limits have been established to ensure that the Group deals only with approved counterparties and that counterparty concentration risk is addressed and the risk of loss is mitigated. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the Group.
The Group is subject to credit risk arising from deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments of surplus cash balances, the use of derivative financial instruments and from outstanding receivables. Credit risk is managed on a country-by-country basis. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk.

Financial risk management (Continued)

The Group’s policy is to manage credit exposure to deposits, short-term investments and other financial instruments by maintaining diversified funding sources in various financial institutions. All the institutions that operate with the Group are well known because of their experience in the market and high quality credit. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents, investments, and other financial instruments with various high credit quality financial institutions, thus mitigating the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statement of financial position.
The Group’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk and commodities prices. The Group generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to each counter party. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty’s obligations exceed the obligations that the Group has with that counterparty. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is representing by the carrying value of the assets positions of these instruments.
The Group’s policy is to manage credit risks associated with trade and other receivables within defined trading limits. All Group’s significant counterparties have internal trading limits. The Group’s customers are distinguished between those customers arising out of the investment and development properties activities of the Group from those arising out of its agricultural and agro-industrial operations. These two groups of customers are monitored separately due to their distinct characteristics.
Investment and development properties activities
Trade receivables from investment and development property activities are primarily derived from leases and services from shopping centers, office and other rental properties; receivables from the sale of trading properties and investment properties (primarily undeveloped land and non-retail rental properties). The Group has a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer.

Trade receivables related to leases and services provided by the Group represent a diversified tenant base and account for 28% and 40% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Group has specific policies to ensure that rental contracts are transacted with counterparties with appropriate credit quality. The majority of the Group’s shopping center, office and other rental properties’ tenants are well recognized retailers, diversified companies, professional organizations, and others. Owing to the long-term nature and diversity of its tenancy arrangements, the credit risk of this type of trade receivables is considered to be low. Generally, the Group has not experienced any significant losses resulting from the non-performance of any counterpart to the lease contracts and, as a result, the allowance for doubtful account balance is low. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Group. If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. If there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its past experience, financial position, actual experience and other factors. Based on the Group’s analysis, the Group determines the size of the deposit that is required from the tenant at inception. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties. See Note 18 for details.
On the other hand, property receivables related to the sale of trading properties represent 26% and 13% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Payments on these receivables have generally been received when due. These receivables are generally secured by mortgages on the properties. Therefore, the credit risk on outstanding amounts is considered very low.
Agricultural and agro-industrial activities
Trade receivables from agriculture and agro-industrial activities are primarily derived from the sale of commodities, raw milk, cattle, and sugarcane; receivables from feed lot operations and raw meat products; receivables from the lease of farmland properties; receivables from the sale of farmland properties; and, other receivables from ancillary activities. Trade receivables from agriculture and agro-industrial activities represent 20% and 34% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In contrast with the investment and development properties activities of the Group, the Group’s agribusiness is conducted through several international subsidiaries. The Group has subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. However, Argentina and Brazil together concentrate more than 93% and 89% of the Group’s grain production for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Each country has its own established market for the respective grain production. Generally, the entire country’s grain production is sold in the domestic market to well-known multinational exporters such as Molinos, Cargill or Bunge, and/or local exporters. Prices for grains are also generally based on the market prices quoted in the domestic markets which normally take as reference the prices in international grain exchanges such as the Chicago Board of Trade.

For the year ended June 30, 2014, 10% of sales of crops in Brazil were sold to two well-known exporters, while for the year ended on June 30, 2013, more than 62% of the Group’s combined sales of crops in Argentina and Brazil was sold to three well-known exporters. The Group performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Although sales are highly concentrated, the Group does not believe that significant credit risk exists at the reporting period due to the high credit rating of these customers.
For the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the grain production in Bolivia has not been significant representing only 5% and 9% of the total Group’s crop sales, respectively.
The Group concentrates its cattle production in Argentina where it is entirely sold in the domestic market. The main buyers are slaughterhouses and supermarkets and are well dispersed. Prices in the beef cattle market in Argentina are basically fixed by local supply and demand. The principal market is the Liniers Meat Market in Buenos Aires, which provides a standard in price formation for the rest of the domestic markets. Live animals are sold by auction on a daily basis in the market, whereas prices are negotiated by kilogram of live weight and are mainly determined by local supply and demand. Some supermarkets and meat packers establish their prices by kilogram of processed meat; in these cases, processing yields influences the final price.
The Group’s milk production is also based in Argentina. The Group has historically sold its entire milk production to Mastellone Hnos S.A., which is the largest dairy company in Argentina. Sales to Mastellone amounted to Ps. 50.8 and Ps. 36.1 million for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing 2.8% and 3.4% of the Group’s agricultural consolidated revenue for those years, respectively, and 1% of the Group’s total revenues in both years. Although sales are concentrated, the Group does not believe that significant credit risk exists at the reporting period due to the high credit rating of Mastellone. As milk is a perishable product there is no ability for the Group to mitigate pricing risk through inventory management. The Group negotiates the prices of raw milk on a monthly basis in accordance with domestic supply and demand. Prices for milk are based on a number of factors including fat and protein content, bacteria levels and temperature. However, dairy prices have historically tended to have reasonable correlation with prices of agricultural inputs such as feed and fertilizer, and the Group monitors these relationships in order to adapt its tactics to suit.

The Group’s sugarcane production is based in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Bolivia. Brazil concentrates more than 94.5% of the Group’s total sugar production. Currently, the Group has one farm in Brazil dedicated to sugar production and the entire output is sold to a third-party, ETH Bioenergia S.A. (“ETH”), under an exclusive agreement dated March 2008. ETH is the largest ethanol producer in Brazil. Under the agreement, ETH is contractually obligated to purchase the entire production of two crop cycles of sugarcane comprising six agricultural years with five cuts, with the possibility of extending them for another full agricultural cycle upon prior agreement of the parties. The duration of each cycle may be extended if the parties wish to do so. Currently, the Group is selling to ETH at market price. Sales to ETH amounted to Ps. 106 million and Ps. 148 million for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing el 6% and 14% of the Group’s agricultural consolidated revenue for those years, respectively. Although sales are concentrated, the Group does not believe that significant credit risk exists at the reporting period due to the high credit rating of ETH.
The management does not expect any significant losses resulting from the non-performance by these counterparties.
The maximum exposure to Group’s credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position after deducting any impairment allowance. The Group’s overall exposure of credit risk arising from trade receivables is set out in Note 18.

Liquidity risk management

The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, the risk that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements, and the risk that financial assets cannot readily be converted to cash without loss of value. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the Group’s cash flow and statement of financial position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources.
The Group monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow; debt maturity; and interest rate exposure. The Group also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates and changes in property values on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.

4. Financial risk management (Continued)
The Group’s debt and derivative positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. The Group maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium- to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed in accordance with Group’s needs, by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities, as appropriate.
The tables below show financial liabilities, including Group’s derivative financial liabilities groupings based on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result, they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the statement of financial position. However, undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the statement of financial position, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The tables include both interest and principal flows.
Where the interest payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the existing conditions at the reporting date.

Capital risk management
|
The capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders’ equity and net borrowings. The type and maturity of the Group’s borrowings are analyzed further in Note 25. The Group’s equity is analyzed into its various components in the statement of changes in equity.
Capital is managed so as to promote the long-term success of the business and to maintain sustainable returns for shareholders.
The Group seeks to manage its capital requirements to maximize value through the mix of debt and equity funding, while ensuring that Group entities continue to operate as going concerns, comply with applicable capital requirements and maintain strong credit ratings.
The Group assesses the adequacy of its capital requirements, cost of capital and gearing (i.e. debt/equity mix) as part of its broader strategic plan. The Group continuously reviews its capital structure to ensure that (i) sufficient funds and financing facilities are available to implement the Group’s property development and business acquisition strategies, (ii) adequate financing facilities for unforeseen contingencies are maintained, and (iii) distributions to shareholders are maintained within the Group’s dividend distribution policy. The Group also protects its equity in assets by taking out insurance.
The Group’s strategy is to maintain key financing metrics, namely, net debt to total equity ratio (gearing) and loan-to-value ratio (LTV) to ensure that asset level performance is translated into enhanced returns for shareholders whilst maintaining an appropriate risk reward balance to accommodate changing financial and operating market cycles.
The following table details the key metrics in relation to managing its capital structure of the Group.

Other non-financial risks
|
Nature risk:
The Group’s revenue arising from agricultural activities depends significantly on the ability to manage biological assets and agricultural produce. The ability to manage biological assets and agricultural produce may be affected by unfavorable local weather conditions and natural disasters. Weather conditions such as floods, droughts, hail, windstorms and natural disasters such as fire, disease, insect infestation and pests are examples of such unpredictable events. The Group manages this risk by locating its farmlands in different geographical areas. The Group has not taken out insurance for this kind of risks. The occurrence of severe weather conditions or natural disasters may affect the growth of our biological assets, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s ability to harvest agricultural produce in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner.
Property risk:
There are several risks affecting the Group’s property investments. The composition of the Group’s property portfolio including asset concentration and lot size may impact liquidity and relative property performance. The Group has a large multi-asset portfolio and monitors its concentration and average investment property lot size.
A change in trends and economic conditions causes shifts in customer demands for properties with impact on new lettings, renewal of existing leases and reduced rental growth. Also changes increase risk of tenant insolvencies. The Group conducts several actions to mitigate some of these risks whenever possible. The variety of asset types and geographical spread as well as a diversified tenant base, with monitoring of tenant concentration, helps mitigating these risks.
The development, administration and profitability of shopping centers are impacted by various factors including: the accessibility and the attractiveness of the area where the shopping center is located, the intrinsic attractiveness of the shopping center, the flow of people, the level of sales of each shopping center rental unit, the increasing competition from internet sales, the amount of rent collected from each shopping center rental unit and the fluctuations in occupancy levels in the shopping centers. In the event that there is an increase in operational costs, caused by inflation or other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group if its tenants are unable to pay their higher rent obligations due to the increase in expenses. Argentine Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six months upon not less than sixty days written notice, subject to penalties of only one-and-a-half month rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of the lease, and one-month rent if the tenant rescinds during the second year of the lease. The exercise of such rescission rights could materially and adversely affect the Group.

4. Financial risk management (Continued)
Risks associated with development properties activities include the following: the potential abandonment of development opportunities; construction costs exceeding original estimates, possibly making a project uneconomical; occupancy rates and rents at newly completed projects may be insufficient to make the project profitable. On the other hand, the Group’s inability to obtain financing on favorable terms for the development of the project; construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs; and the Group’s inability to obtain, or the delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations; preconstruction buyers may default on their purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon completion of constructions; prices for residential units may be insufficient to cover development cost. The Group also takes several actions to monitor these risks and respond appropriately whenever it is under its control. The Group has in-house property market research capability and development teams that monitor development risks closely. The Group generally adopts conservative assumptions on leasing and other variables and monitors the level of committed future capital expenditure on development programs relative to the level of undrawn facilities.
The Group’s hotel properties face specific risks as well. The success of the Group’s hotel properties will depend, in large part, upon the Group’s ability to compete in areas such as access, location, quality of accommodations, room rate structure, quality and scope of food and beverage facilities and other services and amenities. The Group’s hotels may face additional competition if other companies decide to build new hotels or improve their existing hotels such that they are more attractive to potential guests. In addition, their profitability depends on (i) the Group’s ability to form successful relationships with international operators to run the hotels; (ii) changes in travel patterns, including seasonal changes; and (iii) taxes and governmental regulations which influence or determine wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs.

Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments
|
The Group’s significant accounting policies are stated in Note 2. Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The following section is intended to provide an understanding of the policies that management considers critical because of the level of complexity, judgment or estimation involved in their application and their impact on the consolidated financial statements. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

5. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments (Continued)
(a) Business combinations – purchase price allocation
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method. Accounting for business combinations requires the determination of the fair value of the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business. The Group uses all available information to make these fair value determinations, and for major acquisitions, may hire an independent appraisal firm to assist in making fair value estimates. In some instances, assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset might have to be used in determining its fair value. These assumptions may differ materially from those initial estimates, and if the timing is delayed significantly or if the net cash flows decline significantly, the asset could become impaired.
(b) Impairment testing of goodwill and other non-current assets
At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, investment property and finite-life intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. The indications that must be taken into account in the analysis are, among other points, physical damage or significant changes to the manner in which the asset is used, worse than expected economic performance or a drop in revenues. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from others assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.
Goodwill and Intangible assets that are not amortized are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if there is any evidence of impairment. For the purposes of the impairment testing, goodwill is to be allocated since acquisition among each of the CGU or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the respective business combinations, regardless of the allocation of other assets or liabilities owned by the acquired entity to these cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying value of the asset or CGU is thus written down to its recoverable value. The impairment losses are recorded immediately in the income statements.
Given the nature of its assets and activities, most of the Group’s individual assets do not generate cash flows that are independent of those from CGU. Therefore, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the CGU for the purposes of the impairment test. Generally, each shopping center, office building and undeveloped property is considered to be an independent CGU.

5. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments (Continued)
Generally, each shopping center, office building and undeveloped property is deemed to be a separate CGU. As regards farmlands used for agricultural activities, when farmland is used for single activities (i.e. crops), it is considered as one CGU, but when farmlands are used for more than one activity (i.e. crops and cattle), the farmland is further subdivided into two or more CGUs, as appropriate, for purposes of impairment testing.
There were no indications of impairment in any of the reported years. Therefore, the Group carried out impairment tests only on such CGU to which goodwill was allocated and/or an intangible asset that is not amortized.
The following table shows the amounts of goodwill and non-current assets other than goodwill of the CGUs where goodwill was allocated at the date of acquisition for each of June 30, 2014 and 2013:

5. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments (Continued)
The Group carried out the impairment test on these CGU on the basis of its value in use and determined that no impairment should be recognized on the value of these assets for any of the reported years.
For the CGU included in segments “International”, “Offices and others” and “Shopping centers” ” the Group uses the fair value of investment property estimated by independent appraisers. The involvement of an independent appraiser is required according to CNV Resolution No. 576/10.
For purposes of calculating the fair value for impairment tests and/or to disclose it in a note to the financial statements the Group uses various valuation techniques: discounted cash flows, capitalization method and market comparables, depending on the type of ownership involved, as indicated below.
Under the cash flows model, or discounted cash flows independent appraisers estimate the amount of net future cash flows based on the specific features of each property (including but not limited to location, sales, occupation and turnout, useful lives, among others), existing agreements, market information and future forecasts as of the valuation date. Net income forecasts and revenues growth rates are among the most important assumptions used in the valuation. This estimate also considers the discount rates that reflect the market assessments regarding uncertainties in terms of the cash flow amount and timing. Any inaccuracy in the most sensitive assumptions used by the appraisers may result in differences in the fair value of the Group’s properties.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Group decided to modify the methodology previously used to determine fair market values of its shopping centers, shifting from discounted cash flows as of June 2013 to capitalization method in June 2014.
The methodology used by the Group involves simulation models in which the current annual operating income flows of a given property is considered to be a stabilized flow in perpetuity, which is divided by a capitalization rate derived from market comparables. This rate is adjusted by existing differences with the comparables in major features such as size, location and/or condition of asset, in order to determine its fair value. The Group considers that the new methodology reflects more reliably the fair market value of its shopping centers as it is based on the current annual net operating income of Group’s assets and uses market information to determine the capitalization rate; as such, it is a more transparent valuation method internationally recognized in the industry. In addition, it is the same valuation methodology used to determine shopping centers’ value by other companies, hence, it is more useful to make comparisons against such valuations.

(All amounts in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
5. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments (Continued)
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 fair value of investment was computed using an average capitalization rate of approximately 10% (a 9% to 12% range was considered)
Generally, an increase in the annual flow of operating income will lead to an increase in the fair value of investment properties. An increase in the capitalization rate will lead to a decline in the fair value of investment properties.
The Group has modified the fair market value of its shopping centers as of June 30, 2013 to render it comparable with the value as of June 30, 2014.
This modification was solely introduced for those assets that are currently operating and generate an annual flow of net operating income. Where such information was not observable, the discounted cash flow or comparable methods continue to be used.
Under the model of sales comparison approach (or comparable market data), the sale price of comparable property located nearby is adjusted by the differences in the most significant features of such property, such as, size and condition. The most relevant data included in this method is the price per square meter.

5. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments (Continued)
Finally, for the CGUs included in the “Agriculture” business segment, the fair value of farmland is also estimated using the comparative sales method. In these cases, farmland is valued based on its production value, that is, its capacity to produce grains and/or raise cattle, as well as other factors, such as the weather or the geographic location. Farmland is classified in accordance with factors such as texture and quality, yield, topography, rain levels and soil drainage. Based on the factors listed before, different land classifications are assigned to each rural property in order to ascertain its value. Soil classifications quantify factors that contribute to the agricultural capacity of such soil, and range from the most productive to the least productive soil for agricultural activity. A price is assigned per hectare to each type of soil. This price per hectare is based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis which takes into consideration the current yield and productivity of that soil, the potential productivity of the soil based on its best use, the projected gross margin derived from the use of the soil, the rental value obtained from the use of the soil, if applicable, and the existence of comparable farmland of similar characteristics in the same topographic area. The results obtained as a result of the description above are compared to actual sale prices, if available, and the market current conditions, in order to ensure that such values are correct, consistent and fair.
Management believes these assumptions are conservative and that any reasonable change in them would not increase the book value of the CGUs so as to exceed its recoverable value.
(c) Biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest
The Group measures biological assets that have attained significant biological growth and agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell. Biological assets include mainly unharvested crops, beef and dairy cattle, sheep and sugarcane plantations. The agricultural produce includes harvested crop, raw meat, raw milk, wool and others.
Crops and oilseeds
The Group’s crops generally include crops and oilseeds (corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, soybean and sunflower) as well as cotton. The Group measures biological assets that have attained significant biological growth at fair value less costs to sell. The Group measures biological assets that have not attained significant biological growth or when the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material, at cost less any impairment losses, which approximates fair value.

The Group’s fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends the following June 30 of the following year. However, production is based on the harvest year of each one of these crops. A harvest year varies according to the crop, the type or variety of hybrid and the climate where they are grown. The planting period for a given plant may start earlier on one farm than on another, causing differences in their respective harvesting periods.
These crops are also grown in Brazil. Production, harvesting and sale timescales in this country may differ from the ones already mentioned since, given the country’s particular climate, there are specific crops that may be produced in winter as well as in summer, unlike in Argentina.
The following table shows the production process for each of Group’s most significant crops and oilseeds, reflecting the average periods at which each stage of production occurs:

Sugarcane:
The Group’s sugarcane production is based in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Bolivia. This crop’s production requires specific weather conditions (tropical and subtropical climates) because it is a perennial and long-term crop with an average life cycle of five years. Each sugarcane planting generally yields five harvests. Once the production life cycle is over, crop renewal is brought about. Sugarcane planting is done between January and June each year, while harvesting and subsequent sale take place between April and November each year. The Group recognizes these crops at a fair value net of costs of sales from the moment of planting.
Other biological assets:
The mares, sheep and tree plantations are measured at fair value les costs to sell at birth or acquisition date, accordingly.

5. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments (Continued)
Fair value of biological assets:
When an active market exists for biological assets, the Group uses the quoted market price in the principal market as a basis to determine the fair value of its biological. Live cattle is measured at fair value less selling costs, based on market quoted at an auction involving cattle of the same age, breed and genetic merit adjusted, if applicable, to reflect any difference. When there is no active market or market-determined prices are not available, (for example, unharvested crops with significant growth), the Group determines the fair value of a biological asset in its present location and condition based on the present value of expected net cash flows from the biological asset discount (“DCF”). The DCF model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including observable and unobservable data. Generally the estimation of the fair value of biological assets is based on models or inputs that are not observable in the market and the use of unobservable inputs is significant to the overall valuation of the assets. Key assumptions utilized in the DCF method include future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest and estimated future costs of harvesting and other costs.
Market prices are generally determined by reference to observable data in the principal market for the agricultural produce. Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated based on several factors including the location of the farmland and soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of the Group’s control including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other crop diseases.
The key assumptions discussed above are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices, costs and discount factors used may result in a significant increase or decrease to the fair value of biological assets recognized at any given time. Cash flows are projected based on estimated production. Estimates of production in themselves are dependent on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact on estimated production, and could therefore affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value. (The valuation models and their assumptions are reviewed periodically, and, if necessary, adjusted.)

5. Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments (Continued)
As of June 30 of each year, the Group’s biological assets that are subject to a valuation model include unharvested crops, sugarcane plantations and tree plantations. The tree plantations are immaterial to the Group’s operations and therefore any reasonable shift in the assumptions used in the valuation model may not have a significant impact in the fair value less costs to sell of the Group’s biological assets. Accordingly, the Group’s sensitivity analyses provided below were based only on crops and sugarcane plantations. The sensitivity analysis included below is divided among countries due to the existing differences between the different markets in which it operates.
Argentina
As of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, a decrease of 10% in estimated market prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease in the fair value less cost to sell of the unharvested crops of Ps. 26.2 million, Ps. 7.4 million and Ps. 6.7 million, respectively. An increase of 10% in estimated market prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a same and opposed effect at the fair value less costs to sell of unharvested crops.

Bolivia
As of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, a decrease of 10% in estimated market prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease in the fair value less cost to sell of the unharvested crops and sugarcane plantations of Ps. 6.0 million, Ps. 5.4 million and Ps. 4.3 million.

(d) Trading properties
Trading properties include land and work in progress in respect of development sites with a view to sale. Trading properties are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. On each development, judgment is required to assess whether the cost of land and any associated construction work in progress is in excess of its net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to completion and estimated selling costs.
The estimation of the net realizable value of the Group’s trading properties under development, is inherently subjective due to a number of factors, including their complexity, unusually large size, the substantial expenditure required and long timescales to completion. In addition, as a result of these timescales to completion, the plans associated with these developments could be subject to significant variation. As a result, the net realizable values of the Group’s trading properties are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate.
If actual results differ from the assumptions upon which the external valuer has based its valuation, this may have an impact on the net realizable value of the Group’s trading properties, which would in turn have an effect on the Group’s financial condition.
(e) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments
Fair values of derivative financial instruments are computed with reference to quoted market prices on trade exchanges, when available. The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at statement of financial position.

(f) Allowance for doubtful accounts
As described on Note 2.18, the Group makes some estimation in order to calculate the provision for doubtful accounts. If the amount estimated differs to the present value, actual write-offs would be more/less than expected.
(g) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in different jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the overall provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
The Group assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets, by considering whether it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In order to make this assessment, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. See Note 28 for details.
IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Such function is carried out by the Group’s Executive Committee in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, without prejudice of the powers and responsibilities of the management body, that is to say, the Board of Directors. CODM evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its products, operations and risks. The amount reported for each segment item is the measure reported to the CODM for these purposes. In turn, the Board of Directors’ management is assessed by the Shareholders’ Meeting, which is the governance body.

6. Segment information (Continued)
Operating segments identified are disclosed as reportable segments if they meet any of the following quantitative thresholds:
|
·
|
The operating segment’s reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and inter-segment sales or transfers, is ten percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments;
|
|
·
|
The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is ten percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of:
|
|
o
|
the combined reported profit of all operating segments that do not report a loss; and
|
|
o
|
the combined reported loss of all operating segments that report a loss.
|
|
·
|
Its assets are ten percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.
|
As well as this, the operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds can be considered as reportable segments if the management estimates that this information could be useful for the users of the financial statements.
If, after determining reportable segments in accordance with the preceding quantitative thresholds, the total external revenue attributable to those segments amounts to less than 75% of the total Group’s consolidated external revenue, additional segments are identified as reportable segments, even if they do not meet the thresholds described above, until at least 75% of the Group’s consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments. Once the 75% of the Group’s consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments, the remaining operating segments are aggregated in the "All other segments" column.
Segment information has been prepared and classified according to different types of businesses in which the Group conducts its activities. The Group operates in two businesses areas, namely, Agricultural business and Investment and Development Properties business.

6. Segment information (Continued)
The Group’s Agricultural business is further comprised of eight reportable segments (the reporting segments of crops, cattle, dairy, sugarcane and agricultural leases and services are included within “Agriculture” activities):
|
·
|
The "Crops" Segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of crops as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, and sunflowers. The Group is focused on the long-term performance of the land and seeks to maximize the use of the land through crop rotation; the use of technology and techniques. In this way, the type and quantity of harvested crops change in each agricultural campaign.
|
|
·
|
The "Cattle" Segment consists of breeding, purchasing and/ or fattening of free-range beef cattle for sale to meat processors and local livestock auction markets.
|
|
·
|
The "Dairy" Segment consists of breeding and/ or purchasing dairy cows for the production of raw milk for sale to local milk and milk-related products producers.
|
|
·
|
The "Sugarcane" Segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane.
|
|
·
|
The “Agriculture Rentals and Services” Segment consists of services (for example: irrigation) and leasing of the Group’s farms to third parties.
|
|
·
|
The “Land transformation and sales” Segment comprises gains from the disposal and development of farmlands activities.
|
|
·
|
The “Agro-industrial” Segment consists of feedlot farming and the slaughtering and processing in the meat refrigerating plant. Feedlot farming is distinctive and requires specific care and diets which differ from those provided to free-range cattle. This activity represents a separate operating segment due to the distinctive characteristics of the cattle feedlot system and the industrialized meat processing in the packing plant.
|
|
·
|
The “Other Segments” column consists of the aggregation of the remaining operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure includes the brokerage activities.

6. Segment information (Continued)
The Group’s Urban Properties and Investments business is further comprised of six operative segments:
|
·
|
The “Shopping centers” Segment includes results from the commercial exploitation and development of shopping centers. Such results originate mainly from the lease and the delivery of services related to the lease of commercial facilities and other spaces in the Group’s shopping centers.
|
|
·
|
The “Offices and others” Segment includes the operating results of the Group’s lease and service revenues of office space and other service revenues related to the office activities.
|
|
·
|
The “Sales and developments” Segment includes the operating results of the sales of undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties, and the results related with its development and maintenance.
|
|
·
|
The “Hotels” Segment includes the operating results of the Group’s hotels principally comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.
|
|
·
|
The “International” Segment includes the return on investments in associates that mainly operate in the United States in relation to the lease of office buildings and hotels in that country.
|
|
·
|
The “Financial operations and others” Segment primarily includes the financial activities carried out by Tarshop S.A. and Grupo Banco Hipotecario S.A., etc.
|

6. Segment information (Continued)
Concerning agricultural business, cattle, dairy cattle and agroindustrial activities are mainly concentrated in Argentina. The crop activities of the Group are primarily concentrated in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay, while sugar cane production is developed in Brazil and Bolivia.
The shopping center properties and hotels of the Group are all located in Argentina, the country of domicile of the Group. Substantially all of the office and other rental properties of the Group are located in Argentina, except for two office building properties located in the United States of America which are owned by associates of the Group and are disclosed in column "International". The trading properties of the Group are also located in Argentina and Uruguay.
For segment reporting purposes the operating results of Cresca, Cyrsa, Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe, Canteras Natal Crespo, Baicom Networks and Quality Invest joint venture operations are presented on a proportionate format. The proportionate format presents the net income from the equity-accounted joint venture on a line-by-line basis rather than as a single line item as IFRS requires to be shown in the consolidated income statements. Management considers that given that the assets underlying both the consolidated and equity-accounted operations are similar and the drivers of their results are similar, that the proportionate consolidation format is a more useful way to understand the performance of the agricultural business. This is because the proportionate format aggregates both revenue and expense items rather than netting them for equity accounted ventures and only reflecting their performance as a single line item of profit or loss. As a result, the proportionate format is what the CODM considers in assessing and understanding the performance and results of operations of the agricultural business as a whole.
Moreover, operating results of Entertainment Holding S.A. joint venture is accounted for under the equity method. Management believes that, in this case, this method provides more adequate information for this type of investment, given its low materiality and considering it is a company without direct trade operations, where the main asset consists of an indirect interest of 25% of La Rural S.A..
The CODM evaluates performance of business segments based on segment profit, defined as profit or loss from operations before financing and taxation. The measurement principles for the Group’s segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the Group’s share of profit or loss of joint ventures as discussed in the segment tables above. Revenue generated and goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.

6. Segment information (Continued)
At the time of assessing the performance of business segments and deciding upon the allocation of resources, the Executive Committee uses information on operating income, assets and liabilities of each such segment. In the Consolidated Financial Statements, the transactions and balances between related parties which may affect more than one segment are eliminated. In order to obtain clear information that may be useful for Management’s decision making, the Group has defined that, as from the nine month period ending March 31, 2014, such transactions will not be eliminated for segment reporting purposes.
The comparative information presented as from such period has been adjusted retrospectively for the sake of comparability.
The following tables present a reconciliation between the total results of segment operations and the results of operations as per the income statements. The adjustments relate to the presentation of the results of operations of joint ventures accounted for under the equity method under IFRS.

APSA
Arcos del Gourmet S.A.
The Group committed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires to execute the works for Arcos del Gourmet S.A. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 works total Ps. 236,202 and Ps. 136,313, respectively.

On December 10, 2013, the Judicial Branch confirmed an injunction order that suspends the opening of the shopping center on the grounds that it does not have certain governmental permits. Even though the construction has all regulatory permits in place, the Company is carrying out specific actions, has challenged the ruling, and has requested that the injunction be lifted and has reasonable expectations of a favorable result. On April 10, 2014 the Government of the City of Buenos Aires granted a new environmental clearing certificate.
On the other hand, in one of the two judicial processes (amparos – actions intended to protect constitutional rights) currently being heard, “Charlon, Marcelo Alejandro and others VS. GCBA on/ Amparo”, the Court of Appeals referred above confirmed the decision rendered by the lower court whereby the action was abated, as per notice served upon us on September 1, 2014. This means the process has concluded with the decision being favorable to us.
As to the other process entitled “Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (FECOBA) and others vs. GCBA on/ Amparo”, on August 29, 2014 the lower court rendered a decision rejecting the case.

Restrictions, commitments and other matters in respect of joint ventures
According to the laws of certain of the countries in which the Group operates, 5% of the profit of the year is separated to constitute legal reserves until they reach legal capped amounts (20% of total capital). These legal reserves are not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The Group’s joint ventures have not reached the legal capped amounts.
Quality Invest
In March 2011, Quality purchased an industrial plant owned by Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C.y F. (“Nobleza”), a major tobacco company in Argentina. The industrial plant is located in San Martin, Province of Buenos Aires, and would be suitable for redevelopment into multiple uses. The purchase price was US$ 33.0 million, of which US$ 9.9 million was already paid and the balance will be paid as from May 31, 2012 in three equal and consecutive annual installments plus interest at 7.5% per annum. The assets have been mortgaged securing the debt. Nobleza sold the plant as part of its plan of relocating its operations. As part of the agreement, Nobleza requested the plant to be leased back to it for a maximum period of three years thus allowing it enough time to gradually moving its operations to the new site. In April 2011, Quality requested the CNDC, to issue an advisory opinion on the obligation to notify the operation or not. Subsequently, the Court of Appeals confirmed the CNDC's decision regarding the obligation to notify and, therefore, on February 23, 2012, form F1 was filed, which is being processed as of the date of these financial statements are issued.

8. Interests in joint ventures (Continued)
Entertainment Holdings S.A.
As stated in Note 3, APSA acquired shares of common stock, representing 50% of Entertainment Holdings S.A. (“EHSA”)´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. Furthermore, as it has become publicly known, on August 21, 2013, the Supreme Court of Justice rejected the appeal filed by the National State against the interim measure timely requested by the SRA.
Neither has APSA been served notice formally nor is it a party involved in the legal actions brought by the SRA.
There are no contingent liabilities relating to the Group’s interest in joint ventures, and there are no contingent liabilities of the joint ventures themselves, different to the mentioned above.
Cyrsa S.A.
The Group has a pledge over the shares of Cyrsa as collateral in a barter transaction where Cyrsa will deliver residential units to the party who sold the land over which the buildings are being constructed.

8. Interests in joint ventures (Continued)
Puerto Retiro S.A.
In a series of transactions, which occurred between 1999 and 2000, IRSA acquired from an unrelated party, 50% of Puerto Retiro, whose sole asset is an undeveloped parcel of land in the Retiro neighborhood, City of Buenos Aires. Prior to the acquisition, Puerto Retiro had acquired land from Tandanor S.A. (“Tandanor”), a formerly state-owned entity, whose majority equity interest had been acquired by Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. (“Indarsa”) in 1991 through a privatization process. The Argentine Government sustained Indarsa had not settled the outstanding balance of the purchase price of Tandanor, and as a result petitioned the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Since the sole asset of Indarsa was its ownership interest in Tandanor, the Argentine Government intended to extend the bankruptcy procedures to any company or individual whom, according to its view, acted as a group, and therefore, in this process requested the bankruptcy of Puerto Retiro and other companies and individuals. In this connection, the bankruptcy court for the Buenos Aires District issued an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro to sell or dispose in any manner the land acquired from Tandanor. Since 2001, IRSA has been vigorously defending against this case. In addition, the government brought a criminal action related to the privatization of Tandanor and, in this context, the court issued a restraining order that prevented Puerto Retiro from selling or mortgaging the property until the facts and potential liabilities are determined by the Court. In addition to the criminal case, once renationalized in 2007, Tandanor brought an action for damages and restitution of the land acquired by Puerto Retiro; notice of this civil action was served in 2013 and in the answer we requested that it be rejected and filed various exceptions. Management with the advice of legal counsel believes that the Group has sufficient meritorious defenses to support the court denial for bankruptcy petition. However, there can be no assurance that the Group’s position will be sustained.
There are no contingent liabilities relating to the Group’s interest in joint ventures, and there are no contingent liabilities of the joint ventures themselves.

9. Interests in associates (Continued)
The fair value of the Company´s investment in Banco Hipotecario was determined as the present value of the Company´s share of Banco Hipotecario’s future cash flows. The future cash flows of the Company´s investment in Banco Hipotecario were determined based on the following actual assumptions as of June 30, 2014:
- The Company projected the future cash flows generated by its investment in Banco Hipotecario for the period 2015 to 2022. The projected cash flows were prepared in accordance with Banco Hipotecario’s two-year complete business plan submitted to the Argentine Central Bank, as required by the applicable regulations in Argentina (2014-2015), for years 2016 to 2022 in accordance to the projections estimated by Banco Hipotecario considering the Company’s general assumptions the cash flows were estimated assuming a constant growth year over year based on historical performance, market research, competition information, among others. The projected cash flows also included a terminal value using a decreasing growth rate after year 2022.
- The projected cash flows included interest revenue derived from the principal revenue streams of Banco Hipotecario, including but not limited to interest revenue generated by the origination of mortgages, personal loans, credit cards and corporate loans. The projected cash flows included interest expense on customer deposits received. These volumes were determined by current demand, current market share, advertising campaigns in place and competition existing as of June 30, 2014. These projections were estimated based on internally generated models with the starting point of the two-year business plan as mentioned above.
- The projected rate “BADLAR Privada” was based on internal data and external data obtained from external consultants. “BADLAR Privada” is the Private Interest Rate for deposits over Ps. 1,0 million with a maturity of 30 to 35 days. BADLAR is calculated daily by the Argentine Central Bank considering a survey that includes information of interest rates provided by the Principal Banks and Financial Institutions of the City of Buenos Aires and Great Buenos Aires. BADLAR is the most representative interest rate of the Argentine Financial System.
- Also, the projected Ps./US$ exchange rate was based on internal data and external data obtained from external consultants.
- The projected future cash flows also assumed the revolving of Banco Hipotecario’s debt amortization.
- The projections include the estimation of capital requirements in accordance to Argentine Central Bank requirements.

- The projected future cash flows were expressed in real terms based on “Coeficiente de Estabilidad de Referencia (“CER”) which were projected considering internal data and external data obtained from external consultants.
- Finally, the projected future cash flows, including its terminal value, were discounted using the Industry´s cost of equity rate of 17.01%.

On August 22, 2014, APSA paid the remaining balance of the purchase price for the shopping center known as “Soleil Premium Outlet” in the amount of Ps. 105.8 million (US$ 12.6 million plus interest). As a result, the mortgage granted in favor of INC S.A. was fully discharged.
|
(ii)
|
A portion of the Córdoba Shopping center property is encumbered with an antichresis right as collateral for a debt amounting to Ps. 15.5 million as of June 30, 2013. The debt is included in "Trade and other payables" in the statement of financial position.
|
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of investment properties amounts to Ps. 19,554.5 million and Ps. 16,287.0 million, respectively. The fair values are based on comparable values of certain qualified external appraisers (Level 2 of fair value hierarchy) except in the case of shopping centers, where fair value is based on the market capitalization valuation (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). In the first case, sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the m2 (square meter). In the second case, the capitalization rates used also take into account specific aspects of each property. See Note 5.(b).

During years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there have been no transfers between the several tiers used in estimating the fair value of the Group’s biological assets, or reclassifications among their respective categories.
See information on valuation processes used by the entity and on the sensitivity of fair value valuation to changes in material non-observable input data in Note 5.c.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the better and maximum use of biological assets shall not significantly differ from the current use.

16. Financial instruments by category
The following tables show the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities by category of financial instrument and a reconciliation to the corresponding line item in the Statements of Financial position, as appropriate. Since the line items “Trade and other receivables, net” and “Trade and other payables” contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets or liabilities (such as prepayments, tax receivables and payables in kind), the reconciliation is shown in the columns headed “Non-financial assets” and “Non-financial liabilities”.

Liabilities carried at amortized cost also include liabilities under finance leases where the Group is the lessee and which therefore have to be measured in accordance with IAS 17 “Leases”. The categories disclosed are determined by reference to IFRS 9. Finance leases are excluded from the scope of IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”. Therefore, finance leases have been shown separately.
Income, expense, gains and losses on financial instruments are included in “Financial results, net” in the income statements, except for those generated by commodities, which are disclosed in “Other operating results, net” can be assigned to the following categories:

Determining fair values
IFRS 9 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which a financial asset could be exchanged, or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 7. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels. The initial basis for the allocation is the “economic investment class”. Only if this does not result in an appropriate allocation the Company deviates from such an approach in individual cases. The allocation reflects which of the fair values derive from transactions in the market and where valuation is based on models because market transactions are lacking.
In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on non-adjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial position. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise equity investments, mutual funds, government bonds and corporate bonds for which quoted prices in active markets are available. In the case of securities, the Group allocates them to this level when either a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.
In the case of Level 2, fair value is determined by using valuation methods based on inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market. If the financial instrument concerned has a fixed contract period, the inputs for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts.
In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The financial instruments that the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise shares of Supertel and the commitment of “tender offers” for the purchase of IDBD’s shares.

16. Financial instruments by category (Continued)
The Group has determined that Arcos del Gourmet S.A.’s stock option is a Level 3 financial instrument and its fair value at the end of the period is zero.
Since June 30, 2013, there have been no transfers between the several tiers used in estimating the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments, or reclassifications among their respective categories.
The Group’s Finance Division has a team in place in charge of estimating valuation of financial assets required to be reported in the financial statements, including the fair value of Level 3 instruments. The team directly reports to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
The CFO and the valuation team discuss the valuation methods and results upon the acquisition of an asset and, if necessary, on a quarterly basis, in line with the Group’s quarterly reports.
According to the Group’s policy, transfers among the several categories of valuation tiers are recognized when occurred, or when there are changes in the prevailing circumstances requiring the transfer.
The following tables present the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and their allocation to the different levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Restated) (Continued)
(All amounts in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
16. Financial instruments by category (Continued)
Upon initial recognition (January, 2012), the consideration paid for the Shares and Warrants was assigned to both instruments based on the relative fair values of those instruments upon acquisition. The fair value of these instruments exceeded the transaction price and were determined using a valuation technique that uses inputs not observable in the market. As a result of the use of this technique, the Group has not recognized a gain at the time of initial recognition in the amount of US$ 7.9 million.
On June 30, 2014, the fair value of warrants of Supertel as determined pursuant to the indicated method was lower than the gain not recognized upon initial recording; therefore, warrants are valued at zero.
According to Group estimates, all factors being constant, a 10% decline in the price of the underlying assets of Level 3 shares and warrants of Supertel (data observed in the market) as of June 30, 2014, would reduce pre-tax income by Ps. 22.2 million.
According to Group estimates, all factors being constant, a 10% increase in the credit spread (data which is not observable in the market) of Shares and Warrants of Supertel used in the valuation model applied to Level 3 financial instruments as of June 30, 2014, would reduce pre-tax income by Ps. 2.6 million. The rate used as of June 30, 2014 was 14.17%.
According to Group estimates, all things being constant, a 10% decline in the price of the underlying assets of the Commitment of tender offers of shares in IDBD of Level 3 as of June 30, 2014, would increase pre-tax income by Ps. 24.9 million.
According to Group estimates, all things being constant, a 10% decline in the price of the underlying assets of the Borrowing to acquire shares of IDBD of Level 2 as of June 30, 2014, would increase pre-tax income by Ps. 5.1 million.

As of, June 30, 2014, all non-current receivables are due within 4 years from the end of the reporting period.
The fair value of current trade and other receivables approximate their respective carrying amounts due to their short-term nature, as the impact of discounting is not considered significant. Fair values are based on discounted cash flows (Level 2 of fair value hierarchy).
Trade receivables are generally presented in the statement of financial position net of allowances for doubtful receivables. Impairment policies and procedures by type of receivables are discussed in detail in Note 2.18.
The evolution of the Group’s provision for impairment of trade receivables were as follows:

Leases and services receivables from investment properties:
Trade receivables related to leases and services provided from shopping centers offices represent 28% and 40% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Group has a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer.

Most of these customers have reached a minimum period of six months and have no previous non-compliance records. New customers with less than six months are regularly monitored. At the end of the year, the Group has not experience credit issues with these new customers.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Group recognized losses from impairment of leases and services receivables for an amount of Ps. 12.9 million and Ps. 10.6 million, respectively.

Consumer financing receivables:
Trade receivables related to the residual consumer activities of the Group represent only 7% and 1% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company provided for losses with respect to receivables from consumer financing for an amount of Ps. 0.9 million and Ps. (1.6) million, respectively. The estimation of the credit risk is complex and requires the use of rating and scoring models which are essential to measure default risk. In measuring the consumption credit risks of credit purchases made through credit cards and cash advances, the Group considers two components: (i) the probability of default by client or counterparty, and (ii) the likeable recovery rate of obligations in arrears. The models are reviewed regularly to check their effectiveness with respect to actual performance and, where necessary, to enhance them.
Receivables from the sale of properties:
Trade receivables related to the sale of properties represent 26% and 13% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Payments on these receivables are generally received when due and are generally secured by mortgages on the properties, thus credit risk on outstanding amounts is considered low.
As of June 30, 2014, the Group recognized losses in Trade and other receivables for an amount of Ps. 2.5 million.
Receivables from the sale of agriculture products:
Trade receivables related to the sale of agriculture products and farmlands leases represent 20% and 34% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Group has a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company has recognized losses with respect to receivables from the sale of agricultural products for an amount of Ps. 8.2 million and Ps. 7.7 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately 75% and 77% of the outstanding unimpaired receivables from the sale of agricultural products (neither past due nor impaired), respectively, relate to sales to 12 well-known companies with good credit quality standing. These entities or their parents have an available external credit rating. The Group reviews theses external ratings in credit agencies. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the remaining percentage of the outstanding unimpaired receivables from the sale of agricultural products is related to sales to a large number of customers whose external rating is not available. However, the total number of clients without an external credit rating is relatively stable. Most customers for which an external credit rating is unavailable are customers with more than six months in the Company and have had no defaults in the past. New customers with less than six months are regularly monitored. To date, the Group has not experience credit issues with these new customers.

The Group is subject to several Argentine laws, regulations and business practices. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, labor and social security, administrative and civil and other matters. The Group accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and can reasonably estimate them. The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

Included within provisions are certain amounts the Group provided for the following cases which are further detailed below:
Litigation with Exagrind S.A.
Cresud filed a lawsuit through Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. (IGSA) (a former subsidiary merged with the Company) on claims for damages and losses produced by a fire in one of the Company's farms, “San Rafael” farm, which is close to Exagrind’s property, Tali Sumaj, in the Province of Catamarca, Argentina. The fire took place on September 6, 2000. Exagrind claimed an amount of Ps. 2.9 million at that date. The extraordinary appeal to the High Court of Justice of the Province of Catamarca, questioning the resolution that ended the term to respond the case, arguing that at that moment, the period was not completed, was favourably received. Therefore, Cresud finally responded the case and showed proofs. To date, the file is in probation period. In March 2007, the court ordered an inhibition of assets which was subsequently lifted. This decision was lifted in June 2007 and Tali Sumaj farm on attachment has been accepted in replacement. Exagrind S.A. requested that the measure be extended with an attachment of bank accounts; this ruling has been challenged and to date the accounts have not been attached. In June, 2010, the Company sold the farm to a third party. Since the litigation is still pending, the Company assumed certain obligations and provided a surety insurance to guarantee its obligation on behalf of the purchaser. The Group has recorded a provision amounting to Ps. 1.5 million, which is included within “Labor, legal and other claims”.
In addition, the Group is involved in several legal proceedings, including tax, labor, civil, administrative and other matters for which the Group has not established provisions based on the information assessed to date. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of any threatened or pending matters, either individually or collectively, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of operations of the Group. For ease of presentation, the Group has categorized these matters between those arising out of the Group’s agricultural and agro-industrial activities and those arising out of the Group’s investment and development properties business activities:

Real Estate Business
Acquisition of the building known as Ex- Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos (City of Córdoba)
On November 20, 2006, the Group, through APSA, acquired through a public bidding the building known as Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos located in the city of Córdoba for the amount of Ps. 32,522. As explained in Note 29, this property is affected to a concession contract.
After the title deed was made, the government of the province of Córdoba declared the property to be of public use and subject to partial expropriation in order to be used exclusively for the Libertador San Martin theatre.
APSA has answered a complaint in an action and to challenge the law that declared such public interest on unconstitutional grounds. In the alternative, it has challenged the appraisal made by the plaintiff and, additionally, it has claimed damages not included in the appraisal and resulting immediately and directly from expropriation.
At June 30, 2014, the property is still operated by the Group and is recorded under Investment properties.

Equity Incentive Plan
The Group has an equity incentive plan, which aims at certain selected employees, directors and top management of the Company, IRSA and APSA (the “Participants”). Participation in the plan is voluntary and employees are invited to participate by the Board.
This Plan was effectively established on September 30, 2011 and is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, IRSA and APSA, as the case may be, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the respective companies.
Under the Incentive Plan, over the last three years, entitle the Participants to receive shares ("Contributions") of the Company and IRSA, based on a percentage of their annual bonus, providing they remain as employee of the Company for at least five years, among other conditions, required to qualify such Contributions.
Contributions shall be held by the Company and IRSA, and as the conditions established by the Plan are verified, such contributions shall be transferred to the Participants.
On the other hand, the Plan provides an extraordinary bonus in the medium term. Shares granted as part of the bonus shall be transferred to the participants, there being no restriction whatsoever established by the Plan.
To date, the Group has filed with the CNV the terms and conditions of the equity plan approval; the plan should also be ratified by the next Shareholders’ Meeting; therefore, there is no assurance that such terms and conditions are final.

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company set up a reserve for the incentive plan under Shareholder’s Equity in the amount of Ps. 104.1 and Ps. 11 million, respectively. The reserve was based on the fair value of the shares to be granted under the Company’s contribution, on a proportional basis to the employee’s continuity in the plan (Vesting period) and adjusted for the probability that these beneficiaries may leave the Company before the required term has elapsed and/or the conditions to be entitled to the Plan benefits are met as of each period end.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Group recognized a charge in connection with the Incentive Plan and special bonus of Ps. 93 million and Ps. 9.7 million, respectively. The total cost of the plan that has not yet been recognized because the term for the full granting of the benefit is still effective amounts to Ps. 64.6 million and Ps. 22.3 million, respectively. This cost is expected to be recognized over a four-year average period.
During the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not grant shares.

Brasilagro Stock Option Plan
The Group’s subsidiary, Brasilagro, has a stock option plan (the “Brasilagro Stock Option Plan”), under which Brasilagro grants equity-settled options to certain directors and top management (the “Participants” or "Beneficiaries").
The Board of Directors approved the three tranches of Brasilagro’s Stock Option Plan on August 11, 2010, July 3, 2012 and September 4, 2012, respectively, and Brasilagro’s Board of Directors was authorized to grant stock options to selected employees. Brasilagro’s Stock Option Plan document defined who may participate in the plan, the number of shares that each participant may purchase in exercising the stock options granted, the exercise price per share to be paid in cash by each participant and other conditions under which the options were granted. Upon exercise of each option, its beneficiary becomes entitled to purchase one share of Brasilagro’s capital stock at the exercise price set forth under the Plan.

Brasilagro Warrants
On March 15, 2006, the Board of Directors of Brasilagro approved the issuance of 512,000 share warrants (the "Brasilagro Warrants"), 256,000 of which correspond to the first tranche, and 256,000 of which correspond to the second tranche.
The first tranche of Brasilagro Warrants were delivered to its founding shareholders in March, 2006 before Brasilagro’s IPO. As reported by Brasilagro in its IPO Prospectus, said warrants were granted to its founding shareholders in recognition of their founding efforts, their entrepreneurial spirit in preparing Brasilagro for its IPO, the work done in developing the business plan, and their commitment to the Company’s growth. The warrants were distributed among the founding shareholders for no consideration.
As Brasilagro received services from its founding shareholders in exchange for share-based payments, the first issuance of Brasilagro Warrants are within the scope of IFRS 2. However, due to the fact that these warrants could have been fully exercised since March 15, 2009, that is, before the transition date to the IFRS (July 1, 2009), and that the fair value of the warrants had not been published, the Group applied the exemption available under IFRS 1 for these equity instruments. See Note 3.2. Therefore, the Company has not recognized the fair value of the warrants as of the date of these financial statements.
Each lot of 1,000 Warrants grants the right to subscribe 100 shares of Brasilagro. Brasilagro Warrants vest over a three-year period from the date of grant at 33% every year, and are exercisable by their holders over a fifteen-year period. The number of shares to be subscribed upon exercise of the warrants shall be adjusted in the event of split or reverse split of shares.

Out of the 256,000 outstanding Brasilagro Warrants under the first tranche, 256,000 Warrants were exercisable as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.

From the Brasilagro Warrants under the first tranche 177,004 and 175,223 were owned by the Company as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
|
Group’s management believes that Brasilagro Warrants under the second tranche (which are only exercisable if and when a transfer of control or acquisition of a significant interest occurs) has a fair value as of any of the periods presented because the exercise price will be equal to the price per share to be paid by the party that obtains control or that acquires a significant interest in Brasilagro. As a result, no liability has been recorded with respect to the Brasilagro Warrants of the second issuance.
Each lot of 1,000 warrants grants the right to subscribe 100 shares of Brasilagro. Brasilagro Warrants of the second issuance are exercisable by their holders during a fifteen-year period but only in the event of change in control and/or acquisition of a material interest in Brasilagro. The number of shares to be subscribed upon exercise of the warrants shall be adjusted in the event of split or reverse split of shares.
As Brasilagro Warrants under the second issuance were delivered to provide Brasilagro’s founding shareholders with a mechanism to leverage their interest in Brasilagro, and not in exchange for goods and/or services, they are not within the scope of IFRS 2. Rather, they are accounted for as a derivative financial liability in accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 9.
Out of the warrants under the second issuance 168,902 were held by the Company as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefits through future taxable profits is probable. Tax loss carry-forwards may have expiration dates or may be permanently available for use by the Group depending on the tax jurisdiction where the tax loss carry-forward is generated. Tax loss carry-forwards in Argentina and Uruguay generally expire within 5 years. Tax loss carry-forward in Bolivia expire within 3 years. Tax loss carry-forwards in Brazil do not expire. However, in Brazil, the taxable profit for each year can only be reduced by tax losses up to a maximum of 30%.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Restated) (Continued)
(All amounts in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Group will need to generate future taxable income. To this aim the Group made a projection for future years when deferred assets will be deductible. Such projection is based on aspects such as the expected performance of the main macroeconomic variables affecting the business, production issues, pricing, yields and costs that make up the operational flows derived from the regular exploitation of fields and other assets of the group, the flows derived from the performance of financial assets and liabilities and the income generated by the Group’s strategy of crop rotation. Such strategy implies the purchase and/or development of fields in marginal areas or areas with a high upside potential and periodical sale of such properties that are deemed to have reached their maximum appreciation potential.
Based on the estimated and aggregate effect of all these aspects on the Group’s performance, Management estimates that as at June 30, 2014, it is probable that the Company will realize all of the deferred tax assets.
As of June 30, 2014, the tax loss carry-forwards of the Group and the jurisdictions which generated them are as follows:

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of Ps. 57.1 million and Ps. 69.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to certain businesses which are still in development stage and/or that have a history of recurring losses. Although management estimates that, once operational, the business will generate sufficient income, pursuant to IAS 12, management has determined that, as a result of the recent loss history and the lack of verifiable and objective evidence due to the subsidiary’s limited operating history, there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to be able to offset the losses within a reasonable timeframe, therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized in relation to these losses.

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax liabilities of Ps. 46.4 million and Ps. 227.0 million as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the potential dividends distribution of its investments in foreign subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In addition, the withholdings and/or similar taxes paid at source may be creditable against the Group’s potential final tax liability.
As of June 30, 2014, the Group decided derecognizes $ 38.0 Million of MPIT receivable, because this receivable is due as of June, 30 2015 and the management estimates that there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to be able to offset those receivables.
Below is a reconciliation between the income tax recognized and that which would result from applying the prevailing tax rate on the Income/loss before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

The Group as lessee
Operating leases:
In the ordinary course of business, the Group enters into several operating lease agreements. Group conducts a portion of its agricultural activities on land rented from third parties under operating lease contracts averaging a harvest year. The Group uses rented land for cultivation or cattle rising. Lease contracts are generally renewable for additional harvest periods. Rent is generally payable at intervals during the harvest year. Lease contracts vary but generally payments are based on the market price of a particular crop multiplied by a fixed amount of tons per hectare leased. Other contracts are based on a fixed amount of US dollars per hectare. Rent expense for the years ended as of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to Ps. 65 million, Ps. 56 million and Ps. 49 million, respectively and is included in the line item "Cost" in the income statements.

Finance leases:
The Group rents certain computer equipment under various finance leases for an average term of three years. Book value of these assets under finance leases is disclosed in Note 11.
At the commencement of the lease term, the Group recognizes a lease liability equal to the carrying amount of the leased asset. In subsequent periods, the liability decreases by the amount of lease payments made to the lessors using the effective interest method. The interest component of the lease payments is recognized in the income statements. Book value of liabilities under finance leases is disclosed in Note 25.
Lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased asset revert to the lessor in the event of default.

The Group as lessor
Operating leases (Shopping centers, offices and other buildings):
The Group enters into cancellable operating leases agreements relating to shopping centers. The agreements have an average term raging from three to five years. Some leases relating to anchor stores having terms of ten years, which are usually extendable. Tenants are charged a rent which is the higher between (i) the base rent; and (ii) the percentage rent (which is generally established as a percentage over sales that ranges between 4% and 10%). Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause established in most lease arrangements, the tenants’ base rent generally increases between 18% and 24% each year during the agreement term. Regarding the percentage rent, since the rent is not known until the end of the period, such percentage rent meets the definition of contingent rent under IAS 17 "Leases". Accordingly, rental income will be recognized once the contingent rent is known.

30. Shareholders’ Equity (Continued)
Treasury stock
During 2009, the Company acquired 30 million shares of own stock for Ps. 1.7 million in cash following a Board of Directors' resolution dated October of 2008. As per Argentine Corporations Law, an entity has a period of one year from acquisition to sell or otherwise dispose of treasury stock unless an extension is provided for in a shareholders meeting. In November 2009, the Board of Directors assigned 25 million shares of treasury stock to the shareholders on a pro rata basis. After this assignment, the Group held 5 million shares of treasury stock. In October 2011, the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved the allocation of treasury stock to the “Equity Incentive Plan”.
On April 11, 2014, the Company reported on a potential repurchase of shares intended to curb the drop in prices and reduce fluctuations on the Company’s shares and ADS and strengthen its position in the market, thus minimizing potential temporary imbalances that may arise between supply and demand. On that same date, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved a partial release of the account “Reserve for new projects” in an amount of up to Ps. 200 million, in order to appropriate such amount of money to set up a reserve entitled “Reserve for the repurchase of securities”. In view of this measure, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the repurchase of securities issued by the Company in an amount of Ps. 200 million, to be carried out before December 31, 2014, which period may be extended for an identical term. Cresud’s Board of Directors set forth the terms and conditions governing the purchase of the Company's own stock pursuant to Section 64 of Law No. 26,831 and the CNV’s regulations, for up to an aggregate amount of Ps. 200 million and up to 5% of the capital stock, in the form of common shares or American Depositary Shares (ADS) representing 10 shares each, and up to a daily limit of 25% of the average daily transaction volume experienced by the Company’s shares, along with the markets where they are listed, during the prior 90 business days, and at a price ranging from a minimum of Ps. 1 up to Ps. 13.5 per share and ranging from a minimum of US$ 1 per ADS up to US$ 14 per ADS.
During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company purchased 128,749 common shares (N.V. Ps. 1 per share) for a total amount of Ps. 0.2 million and 543,673 ADRs (representing 5,436,730 common shares) for a total amount of US$ 6.6 million, completing the terms and conditions of the share repurchase plan. As of the balance sheet date, no deadline has been established for the sale of repurchased shares.

30. Shareholders’ Equity (Continued)
Restrictions on distribution of dividends
Given that the repurchase of shares for subsequent sale is to be funded out of net cash income or free reserves, pursuant to section 220.2. of Act 19,550, insofar as the Company maintains Treasury shares there is a restriction on the distribution of retained earnings or free reserves in the amount of Ps. 54.9 million, equal to the acquisition cost.
Dividends
The dividends paid in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were Ps.120 million (Ps. 0.244 per share), Ps. 120 million (Ps. 0.242 per share) and Ps. 63.8 million (Ps. 0.128 per share), respectively.
Expired dividends
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 Ps. 1,690 expired, corresponding to dividends no yet paid from prior years.

Earnings per share (Continued)
|
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The Group has one category of dilutive potential shares: warrants. For these instruments, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value, based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding warrants. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the warrants. Ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Since the Company posted a loss for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there is no diluted effect whatsoever.

Remunerations of the Board of Directors
|
The Business Company Act provides that the remuneration of the Board of Directors, where it is not set forth in the Company’s by-laws, shall be fixed by the Shareholders' Meetings. The maximum amount of remuneration that the members of the Board are allowed to receive, including salary and other performance-based remuneration of permanent technical-administrative functions, may not exceed 25% of the profits.

38. Related party transactions (Continued)
Such maximum amount will be limited to 5% where no dividends are distributed to the Shareholders, and will be increased proportionately to the distribution, until reaching such cap where the total of profits is distributed.
Some of our Directors are hired under the Employment Contract Act No. 20,744. This Act rules on certain conditions of the work relationship, including remuneration, salary protection, working hours, vacations, paid leaves, minimum age requirements, workmen protection and forms of suspension and contract termination.
The remuneration of directors for each fiscal year is based on the provisions established by the Business Company Act, taking into consideration whether such directors perform technical-administrative functions and depending upon the results recorded by the Company during the fiscal year. Once such amounts are determined, they should be approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Corporate Service Agreement:
|
In due course, the Board considered it was convenient to implement alternatives that should allow to reduce certain fixed costs, in view that the operating areas of IRSA and Cresud share certain characteristics of affinity, with the aim of reducing their incidence on the operating results, building on and enhancing the individual efficiencies of each of the companies in the different areas that form part of operating management.
To such end, on June 30, 2004, a Master Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services (“Frame Agreement") was entered into between our Company, IRSA and APSA.
The agreement has a term of 24 months, is renewable automatically for equal periods, unless it is terminated by any of the parties upon prior notice.
It is also worth noting that the parties have hired an external consulting firm to review and evaluate half-yearly the criteria used in the process of determining the amount of corporate services, as well as the basis for distribution and documentation. Notably, the parties retain absolute freedom and confidentiality regarding their strategic and business decisions.
In the future and in order to continue with the policy in place which primarily seeks to allocate corporate resources among the several areas as efficiently as possible, the Master Agreement may be extended and/or amended in connection with other areas shared by the parties. The last amendment was made on October 15, 2012.

Rentals and/or rights of use:
|
In the course of its normal operations, the Group enters into different kinds of agreements for the rental of real property and spaces in shopping centers related to its activities, namely:
(a)
|
Lease agreements, gratuitous bailment agreements or agreements for the use of space in shopping centers:
|
The Group normally leases diverse spaces in its Shopping Centers (stores, stands, storage rooms or advertising spaces) to related parties, such as Tarshop S.A. (Group’s associate) and Banco Hipotecario S.A. (IRSA’s associate).
Store lease agreements are usually for three years and provide for monthly rental payments, proportional payment of common expenses and contributions to the Fondo de Promociones Colectivas (FPC) (Collective Promotion Fund), as well as payment of all direct expenses and taxes resulting from the execution of the agreements. The monthly rental is increased annually by a certain percentage as from the second contract year, on an annual and cumulative basis. The agreements further provide the payment of a right of admission and a special installment corresponding to the FPC, payable at the start of the agreement (called FPC Lanzamiento).
The right to use the stands located in the shopping centers is usually granted by way of use permit agreements or, in specific cases, under gratuitous bailment agreements. In the former case, the agreements have a term of one or two years, provide for the payment of a monthly rental and a single percent contribution for the payment of common expenses and the FPC, as well as the payment of all the direct expenses and taxes associated to the execution of agreements. Where the term is in excess of one year, the agreement provides for a percentage increase after the first year. Under the gratuitous bailment agreement, the lessee does not make the monthly payment or the contribution to the above cited fund, but pays for the stand’s specific direct expenses.
As for the rental of storage space, these agreements are accessory to the rental of a store or the right to use a stand, so in general their term coincides with that of the primary agreement. These agreements provide only for the payment of a monthly rental, which is increased annually by a given percentage as from the second year, and while they do not include payments of any common fund or direct expenses, they do provide for the payment of taxes associated with the execution of the agreement.
Furthermore, the Group offers different spaces located in the shopping centers for the advertising of different companies, brands and/or products (non-traditional advertising or NTA). These are generally short-term agreements and provide for the placement of advertising in a specific number of locations at the shopping centers in exchange for a global consideration. The taxes that levy the execution of these agreements are usually paid by the counterparties.

Rights of use granted to Fundación Museo de los Niños:
|
In October 1997, Alto Palermo S.A. entered into an agreement with Fundación IRSA whereby a store at the Abasto shopping mall was granted under a gratuitous bailment agreement for a term of 30 years. Subsequently, in September 1999, Fundación IRSA assigned free of cost all of the rights of use over such store and its respective obligations to Fundación Museo de los Niños.
Fundación Museo de los Niños is a charitable non-profit organization created by the same founders of Fundación IRSA and has the same members of the administration committee.
In November 2005, APSA S.A. signed another agreement with Fundación Museo de los Niños granting under gratuitous bailment a store at Alto Rosario shopping mall for a term of 30 years.
Fundación Museo de los Niños has used these spaces to set up "Museo de los Niños, Abasto” and “Museo de los Niños, Rosario", two interactive learning centers intended for children and adults. Both agreements provide that the payment of common expenses and direct expenses related to the services performed by these stores should be borne by Fundación Museo de los Niños.
Cresud, together with IRSA and APSA rent the offices of our president located at 108 Bolivar, in the City of Buenos Aires, property of Isaac Elsztain e Hijos S.C.A. (a company controlled by certain relatives of Eduardo S. Elsztain, our president) and Hamonet S.A. (a company controlled by Fernando A. Elsztain, one of our directors, and some of its family members). The agreement, entered into in March 2004, is for 120 months and provides for a monthly rental of US$ 15, which is distributed and shared equally among the three companies.
Additionally, Tarshop S.A. rents two floors and parking space, of our building in Suipacha 652, under agreements which expire in 2014. The monthly rental payment agreed amounts to US$ 48 plus the obligation to pay common expenses and taxes levied on the real property, proportionately to the total area rented.

Service provider or recipient:
|
In the normal course of business operations conducted by the Group, the Group renders and receives different types of services, the most significant being:
The Group usually enters into certain administration and/or management agreements involving the group’s companies and other related parties based upon such parties’ backgrounds, knowledge, experience and expertise in managing this type of business, as well as the existence of qualified staff and a proper structure to render the relevant type of services. These agreements usually designate one of the Group’s companies as exclusively responsible for the management of the complexes and/or companies in exchange of a money consideration, calculated on a base that may be fixed or variable.
In addition, there is a management agreement in place with CAMSA, a consulting company retained by the Group to provide advisory services. The shareholders of CAMSA are Eduardo S. Elsztain, Group’s shareholder and Chairman of the Board, and Saúl Zang, Vice-Chairman of the Board. Under the agreement dated November 1994, CAMSA provides the Group with services such as (i) advisory with respect to capital investments in all aspects of agricultural operations, including, among others, sales, marketing, distribution, financing, investments, technology and business proposals; (ii) acts on the Group’s behalf in such transactions, negotiating the prices, conditions, and other terms of each operation; and (iii) advisory regarding securities investments with respect to such operations. The agreement expressly provides that CAMSA may not provide advisory services with respect to transactions that are entirely related to real estate. The Group pays CAMSA an annual fee equal to 10% of the Group’s annual net income after taxes. Under the agreement, the Group is required to reimburse CAMSA normal expenses incurred in performing the services. The agreement is subject to termination by either party upon not less than 60 days prior written notice. If the Group terminates the agreement without cause, the Group must pay CAMSA twice the average of the amounts of the management fee paid for the two preceding fiscal years.

Special reimbursement programs with several means of payment
|
The Group carries out diverse business actions and promotions intended to promote larger number of visitors and consumption inside its shopping centers.
Some promotions offer different types of discounts to clients and/or interest-free financing plans on specific dates or periods. To this end, the Group enters into agreements with various third party financial entities and/or related parties, such as Banco Hipotecario S.A. and Tarshop S.A.
Overall, these agreements establish different refund percentages, on specific dates or periods, for clients making purchases at all the participating stores using the means of payment specific of each financial entity and, on occasions, additional financing plans with interest-free installments. The cost of the refunds granted to the clients is generally distributed as a percentage among the lessors of the shopping centers and the financial entities, while the cost of interest-free financing is borne, in general, by the latter. The Group acts as an intermediary and is in charge of the lessors’ engagement and the advertising of these promotions. This activity results in no money flows or transfer of revenues or costs between the Group and its related parties.
The Group hires legal services from Estudio Zang, Bergel & Viñes. Our Vice-president, Saúl Zang, and our alternate directors, Juan M. Quintana, Salvador D. Bergel, and D. Pablo Vergara del Carril are members of that law firm.

The Group generally enters into barter transactions with third party developers in the ordinary course of business. By virtue of these transactions, the Group generally exchanges undeveloped plots of land for properties to be developed and received in the future. Following is a description of pending transactions that have not yet been perfected by the third parties as of June 30, 2014:
Caballito plot of land
On June 29, 2011, the Group and TGLT, entered into an agreement to barter a plot of land located in Mendez de Andes street in the neighborhood of Caballito in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires for cash and future residential apartments to be constructed by TGLT on the mentioned land. The transaction was agreed upon at US$ 12.8 million. TGLT plans to construct an apartment building with residential offices and parking space. In consideration, TGLT paid US$ 0.2 million in cash and will transfer to IRSA: (i) a number of apartments to be determined representing 23.10% of total square meters of residential space; (ii) a number to be determined of parking space representing 21.10% of total square meters of parking space; and (iii) in case TGLT builds complementary storage rooms, a number to be determined, representing 21.10% of square meters of storage space. TGLT is committed to build, finish and obtain authorization for the three buildings making up the project within 36 to 48 months from that date and TGLT mortgaged the land in favor of IRSA as guarantee. TGLT mortgaged the land in favor of IRSA as guarantee.
A neighborhood association named Asociación Civil y Vecinal SOS Caballito Por Una Mejor Calidad de Vida secured a preliminary injunction which suspended the works to be carried out by TGLT in the abovementioned property. Once said preliminary injunction was deemed final, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and TGLT were served notice of the complaint. IRSA is not involved in these proceedings and has not been sued or summoned as a third party by any of the parties involved in the legal action.
Beruti plot of land
On October 13, 2010, the Group, through its subsidiary APSA, and TGLT, entered into an agreement to barter a plot of land located at Beruti Street 3351/59 in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires for cash and future residential apartments to be constructed by TGLT on the mentioned land. The transaction, which was subject to certain precedent conditions including the completion by TGLT of its initial public offering, was agreed at US$ 18.8 million. TGLT plans to construct an apartment building with residential and commercial parking space. In consideration, TLGT will transfer APSA (i) a number of apartments to be determined representing 17.33% of total square meters of residential space; (ii) a number of parking spaces to be determined representing 15.82% of total square meters of parking space; (iii) all spaces reserved for commercial parking in the future building and (iv) the amount of US$ 10.7 million payable upon delivering the deeds of title on the land. TGLT perfected its initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Buenos Aires on October 29, 2010 and therefore, the precedent condition to the transaction was completed on that date.
TGLT paid US$ 10.7 million on November 5, 2010. On December 16, 2010, the title deed to the Beruti plot of land was executed. To secure performance of obligations assumed by TGLT under the deed of sale, a mortgage was granted in favor of APSA.

Barter transactions (Continued)
|
An association named Asociación Amigos Alto Palermo presented an injunction requesting that the construction is prohibited and obtained a suspension interim measure for this purpose. Later, the Court of Appeals from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires ordered the lifting of such interim measure.
Currently, the “amparo” (judicial action for the protection of constitutional rights) is going through the trial stage, and no decision has been made on the merits of the case.
Rosario plot of land
The Group, through APSA, subscribed with Condominios del Alto S.A. a barter contract in connection with an own plot of land (plot 2 H), located in the City of Rosario, Province of Santa Fe for a total amount of US$ 2.3 million. On November 27, 2008, the title deed was recorded.
As partial consideration for the above mentioned barter, Condominios del Alto S.A. agreed to transfer the full property, possession and ownership in favor of APSA of the following future real estate: (i) 42 functional housing units (apartments), which represent and will further represent jointly 22% of the own covered square meters of housing (apartments) of the building that Condominios del Alto S.A. will construct in the plot; and (ii) forty seven 47 parking spaces, which represent and will further represent jointly 22% of the own covered square meters of parking space units in the same building.
On April 14, 2011 APSA and Condominios del Alto S.A. subscribed a supplementary deed which specifies the Functional Housing Units (apartments) in the barter transaction agreement that should be transferred to APSA and the ownership title of the 45 parking spaces and 5 storage rooms.
As a consequence of the co-bartering parties having fulfilled with obligations assumed with ADIF, the Argentine National State has determined, through Resolution No, 31-ADIF-P-2013, the compliance with the charge regarding the lot 2 H, has been verified upon reaching the minimum investment fixed for the cited lot, in conformity with ONABE Provision No, 07/2009 and Resolution No. 65-ADIF-P-2010, and has proceeded to release APSA and Condominios del Alto SA from any obligation as to ADIF with respect the lot 2 H.
Furthermore, on May 17, 2013, the property was reported as condominium property, and on November 14, 2013, the title deed was executed in favor of APSA.

On August 14, 2014, the CNV issued General Ruling N° 629 whereby it introduced amendments to rules related to storage and conservation of corporate books, accounting books and commercial documentation. In this sense, it should be noted that the Group has entrusted the storage of certain non-sensitive and old information to the following providers:

It is further noted that a detailed list of all documentation held in custody by providers, as well as documentation required in section 5 a.3) of section I, Chapter V, Title II of the RULES (2013 as amended) are available at the registered office.
On February 5, 2014 there was a widely known fire in Iron Mountain’s warehouse. To the date of these financial statements, the Group is waiting for the company that experienced the fire to report whether the documentation submitted has been actually affected by the fire and its condition after the accident. Nevertheless, based on the internal review carried out by the Group, duly reported to the CNV on February 12, 2014, the information kept at the Iron Mountain premises that were on fire do not appear to be sensitive or capable of affecting normal operations.

Groups of assets and liabilities held for sale (Continued)

183 Madison represents a component classified as held for sale as of the date of the balance sheet and represents a separate major line of business. Therefore, the disposal group meets the definition of a discontinued operation. However, the Company will analyze to replace the property with another similar property outside Argentina. To this effect, as of June 30th 2014, the Company is evaluating prospect properties to acquire for replacement once the sale of Madison is consummated at closing. As such, the Company has not classified the disposal group as a discontinued operation in these consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Banco Hipotecario S.A.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Bank”) as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three twelve-month periods in the period ended June 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three twelve-month periods in the period ended June 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting rules prescribed by the Banco Central de la República Argentina (the “BCRA”).
The Bank’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Such differences involve methods of measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements include solely a reconciliation of net income and shareholders’ equity to U.S. GAAP. Pursuant to Item 17 of Form 20-F, this reconciliation does not include disclosure of all information that would be required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC. Information relating to the nature and effect of the differences between accounting rules prescribed by the BCRA and U.S. GAAP is presented in Note 34 to the consolidated financial statements.

BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
a. Description of business
Banco Hipotecario SA (herein after referred to as the “Bank” or “BHSA”), is a commercial bank, organized under the laws of Argentina.
The Bank historically has provided general banking services, focused on individual residential mortgage loans and construction-project loans directly to customers as well as indirectly through selected banks and other financial intermediaries throughout Argentina. In 2004, as part of its business diversification strategy, the Bank resumed the mortgage lending and expanded its product offerings, beginning to offer personal loans, credit card loans and also engaging in mortgage loan securitizations, mortgage loan servicing, other corporate loans and mortgage-related insurance in connection with its lending activities.
b. Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the rules of Banco Central de la República Argentina (“Argentine Central Bank” or “BCRA”) which prescribe the accounting reporting and disclosure requirements for banks and financial institutions in Argentina (“Argentine Banking GAAP”). Argentine Banking GAAP differ in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such differences involve methods of measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include solely a reconciliation of net income and shareholders’ equity to U.S. GAAP. Pursuant to Item 17 of Form 20-F, this reconciliation does not include disclosure of all information that would be required by U.S. GAAP and Regulation S-X of the SEC. See note 34 for details.
Certain disclosures required by the Argentine Banking GAAP have not been presented herein since they are not required under U.S. GAAP or the SEC and are not considered to be relevant to the accompanying consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Certain reclassifications of prior year’s information have been made to conform to current year presentation. Such reclassifications do not have a significant impact on the Bank financial statements.
c. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its subsidiaries over which the Bank has effective control. The percentages directly or indirectly held in those companies’ capital stock as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
d. Presentation of financial statements in constant argentine pesos
The financial statements have been adjusted for inflation in conformity with the guidelines set in Communication “A” 551 of the Argentine Central Bank up to the financial year ended December 31, 1994, and prepared in accordance with the standards laid down by CONAU 1 Circular. As from January 1, 1995, and according to the authorization accorded by Resolution N° 388 of the Argentine Central Bank's Superintendency of Financial and Exchange Institutions, the Bank discontinued the adjustment for inflation of its financial statements until December 31, 2001. As from January 1, 2002, as a result of the application of Communication “A” 3702 which established the repeal of any legal and regulatory rule that did not allow companies to restate their accounting balances at period-end currency values, the Bank resumed the application of the adjustment for inflation in accordance with the rules issued in due time by the Argentine Central Bank using the adjustment coefficient derived from the domestic wholesale price index published by the National Statistics and Census Institute (INDEC). Furthermore, it has been considered that the accounting measurements derived from the changes in the purchasing power of the currency between December 31, 1994 and 2001 are stated in the currency value as of the latter date.
On March 25, 2003, the Executive Branch issued Decree 664 establishing that the financial statements for years ending as from that date are to be stated in nominal currency. Consequently, in accordance with Communication “A” 3921 of the BCRA, the restatement of the financial statements was discontinued as from March 1, 2003.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
2.1. Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at period-end. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into pesos at the prevailing exchange rates on the date of transaction settlement. Foreign currency transactions net gains or losses are recorded within “Financial income” or “Financial expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
2.2. Government and Corporate Securities
Securities classified as "Holdings booked at fair value", "Investment in listed corporate securities" and "Securities issued by the BCRA – quoted bills and notes issued by the BCRA" with volatility published by the BCRA, have been recorded at quoted market prices.
Securities classified as “Holdings booked at cost plus return” and “Securities issued by the BCRA – unquoted bills and notes issued by the BCRA” with no volatility published by the BCRA, have been recorded at their acquisition cost subject to an exponential increase based on their internal rate of return.
2.3. Loans
The portfolio of loans has been recorded at principal amounts, net of amortization, adjusted by CER (Reference Stabilization Index), and CVS (Adjustment Salary Variation Index), where applicable, plus accrued interest and net of allowance for loan losses. Except for interest accruals for loans past due more than 90 days, were accrual is discontinued.
BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
Loans to the non-financial private sector originally granted in foreign currency prior to December 2001 have been converted into pesos at the exchange rate of Ps. 1.00 per US dollar, as established by Law 25561, Decree 214 and complementary rules and amendments. Since February 3, 2002, the CER and CVS have been applied to the amount of those loans and maximum rates have been established, depending on the borrower.
2.4. Interest accruals and adjustments of principal amounts (CER and CVS)
In general lending and certain borrowing transactions in local and foreign currency, interest is recognized on a compounded basis, which provides for an increasing effective rate over the life of the loan. Interest accruals for loans past due more than 90 days, were discontinued.
Adjustments of principal amounts from the application of the CER and CVS, were accrued as established by BCRA regulations.
Law 25796 established the elimination of the CVS since April 2004.
2.5. Allowance for Loan Losses
The Bank provides for estimated losses on loans and the related accrued interest through the establishment of an allowance for loan losses. The allowance charged to expense is determined by management based upon loan classification, actual loss experience, current and expected economic conditions, delinquency aging, and an evaluation of potential losses in the current loan portfolio. Specific attention is given to loans with evidence that may negatively affect the Bank´s ability to recover the loan and accrued interest.
2.6. Mortgage Related Insurance
The Bank records provisions for incurred but not reported insurance claims and pending insurance claims based on historical loss experience. The Bank provides property damage, life and unemployment insurance for its mortgage loan customers as well as for debtors of loans which the Bank services. Income from insurance premiums is recognized as it is charged as a component of the monthly loan installment under “Income from services” in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.
The Bank has set up a reserve for incurred but not reported and pending insurance claims for Ps. 1,181 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.
The Bank discontinues accruing insurance premiums for individual loans when the related loan is over 90 days past due.
2.7. Assets under financial leases
They are recorded at the net investment in the lease less unearned income and calculated in accordance with the conditions agreed upon in the respective agreements, by applying the interest rate imputed therein, and net of loan loss reserves.
2.8. Loans in trust pending securitization
The Bank has executed various financial trust agreements under which it has transferred the fiduciary ownership of certain of its mortgage loans to other financial entities as trustees for the benefit of trust. Once the mortgage loans have been transferred, the trust fund issues the corresponding debt securities and certificates of participation and remits the proceeds to the Bank. The Bank may also retain an ownership interest in the trust in the form of debt securities or certificates of participation.

These receivables, corresponding to pesified mortgage loans registered in the name of the trustee, are recorded as an asset of the Bank, since the trustee has not issued the corresponding debt securities and certificates participation, and therefore the Bank maintains the dual roles of trustor and sole beneficiary.
2.9. Derivative Financial Instruments
Currency swaps are recorded on the basis of the net asset or liability derived from the accrual of amount receivable in Euros or US dollar, minus the accrual of interest payable in US dollar or Euros (both derived from the current coupon of the swap).
Credit currency swap are recorded on the basis of the net asset or liability position derived from variations in the underlying assets. In addition, the Bank creates provisions for these transactions when the value stated above exceeds their fair value, as requested by the BCRA for this credit currency swap.
Interest rate swaps to hedge exposure against interest rate risk attached to liabilities and assets are recorded on the basis of the net asset or liability derived from the accrual of interest receivable (on a fixed interest rate basis) minus the accrual of interest payable (on a variable interest rate basis), both derived from the current coupon of the swap.
Forward transactions have been recorded by the difference between the agreed foreign currency exchange rate and the spot exchange rate at the end of the period.
Future contracts buy or sell foreign currency is recorded at fair value. The settlement of these contracts is carried on a daily basis for the difference, if any, between the closing price of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying asset corresponding to the previous day.
Changes in these values, for all derivative instruments, are recognized as a gain or loss under the caption “Financial Income – Interest on loans and other receivables from financial transactions” or “Financial Expenses – Interest on deposits and other liabilities from financial transactions”, respectively.
2.10. Securitizations of Loans
The Bank accounted for the transfer of loans to trusts and the issuance of mortgage bonds, as a sale and recorded its retained interest in the securitization trusts at their principal amounts. A gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the cash proceeds received and the principal balance of the loans underlying the bonds sold. Retained interests relating to certificates of participation are adjusted on a monthly basis to reflect the net results of the Bank's residual interest in the trusts.
The certificates of participation have been recorded according to the equity method of accounting, written down, to reflect any allowances for impairment. In addition, debt securities issued by the trust are recorded at face value, adjusted by CER, when applicable, plus accrued interest, written down, if applicable, to reflect any allowances for impairment and less the negative amount of the equity method applied to the certificates of participation, when applicable.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
2.11. Investments in Other Companies
Investments in Other Companies include equity interest in companies where a Non-controlling interest is held.
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the equity method is used to account for investments where a significant influence in the corporate decision making process exists.
Permanent equity investments in companies where corporate decision are not influenced, are accounted for at the lower of cost and the equity method. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 these investments were recorded at cost.
2.12. Bank Premises and Equipment and Miscellaneous Assets
Bank premises and equipment are recorded at cost, adjusted for inflation (as described in note 1.d), less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives for bank premises and equipment are as follows:
Buildings
|
50 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
10 years
|
Machinery and equipment
|
5 years
|
Other
|
5 years
|
The cost of maintenance and repairs of these properties is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of significant renewals and improvements is added to the carrying amount of the respective assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of income.
The Bank has recorded under “Miscellaneous assets” - properties received in lieu of payment of loans. These assets are initially recognized at the lower of market value or the value of the loan, net of allowances and subsequently, adjusted for inflation (as described in note 1.d), and depreciation. Depreciation of Miscellaneous assets is also computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful of the related assets.
2.13. Intangible Assets, Net
Software expenses as well as start-up costs are carried at cost, adjusted for inflation (as described in note 1.d), less accumulated amortization. These intangible assets are amortized under the straight-line method over their estimated useful life.
Goodwill is recorded by the difference between the purchase price and the book value of the net assets acquired in accordance with Argentine Central Bank rules, and subsequently amortized in a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of 60 months.
Given BHSA’s role as Trustee of the PROCREAR Administrative and Financial Trust, the Bank has capitalized increased direct expenses incurred in the mortgage loan origination process, which disbursements would not have been incurred by it had it not been for the grant of the related loans in accordance with the provisions of Communication “A” 5392. Such origination expenses are amortized in 60 monthly installments.

2.21. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include those required in the accounting of allowances for loan losses and the reserve for contingencies. Since management’s judgment involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of future events, the actual results could differ from those estimates which would have a positive or negative effect on future period results.

Cross Currency Swaps: Hedging cross currency Swaps agreed upon with delivery of the underlying asset were carried out in order to reduce the volatility of the Bank's results derived from variations in the Euro quotation, in view of the liability position of that currency, stemming from the issuance of Euro-denominated negotiable obligations. As a result of this transaction, the Bank receives cash flows in euros, in exchange of cash flows in dollars.

Within this framework, the following transactions have been carried out:

18. Securitization of mortgage loans, consumer loans and credit card loans
The Bank created separate trusts under its US securitization program and “Cédulas Hipotecarias Argentina – program”; and a consumer trust under BACS’s Global Trust Securities Program. For each mortgage or consumer trust, the Bank transfers a portfolio of mortgages or consumer loans originated by banks and other financial institutions in trust to the relevant trustee. The trustee then issues Class A senior Bonds, Class B subordinated bonds and certificates of participation. The trust’s payment obligations in respect of these instruments are collateralized by, and recourse is limited to, the trust’s assets consisting of the portfolio of mortgage or consumer loans and any reserve fund established by the Bank for such purpose. The securitizations were recorded as sales, and accordingly, the mortgage and consumer loans conveyed to the trusts are no longer recorded as assets of the Bank.
At the date of these financial statements the following trust funds are outstanding:

Trusts subject to the pesification of foreign currency assets and liabilities at the $1.00=US$1 rate established by Law 25561 and Decree 214, as they were created under Argentine legislation. Certain holders of Class A debt securities have started declarative actions against the trustee pursuant to the application of the pesification measures set forth in Law 25561 and Decree 214, in order to maintain the currency of origin of said securities. In these declarative actions, the Bank acted together with BACS as third party. The trustee has duly answered to this claim, being the final resolution to this situation is still pending.

The Bank's Programa de Propiedad Participada (“PPP”) is the Bank's employee stock ownership plan. Under Decree 2127/2012 and Resolution 264/2013 issued by the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance, the PPP was implemented. Under this plan, in a first stage, out of a total of 75,000,000, 17,990,721 Class B shares were converted into Class A shares, to be allocated among the employees that have withdrawn from the Bank in accordance with the implementation guidelines. Upon delivery to the former employees, the 17,990,721 shares will become Class D shares. As of June 30, 2014, such conversion had occurred only with respect to 4,414,632 shares. The shares allocated to the Bank’s current employees are designated as Class B shares, representing the PPP.
|
(a)
|
Under the Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the holders of Class A Shares is required in order to effectuate: (i) mergers or spin-offs; (ii) an acquisition of shares (constituting a Control Acquisition or resulting in the Bank being subject to a control situation); (iii) the transfer to third parties of a substantial part of the loan portfolio of the Bank, (iv) a change in the Bank’s corporate purpose; (v) the transfer of the Bank’s corporate domicile outside of Argentina, and (vi) the voluntary dissolution of the Bank.

By reason of the expiration on January 29, 2009 of the Total Return Swap that had been executed and delivered on January 29, 2004, Deutsche Bank AG transferred to the Bank 71,100,000 ordinary Class “D” shares in Banco Hipotecario Sociedad Anónima with face value $ 1 each, which are available for the term and in the conditions prescribed by the Argentine Companies Law, in its Section 221. The General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 30, 2010 resolved to extend for a year, counted as from January 31, 2010, the term for realizing the treasury shares held by the Bank.
|
On April 30, 2010, the General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to delegate upon the Board of Directors the decision to pay with the treasury shares in portfolio the Stock Appreciation Rights (StAR) coupons resulting from the debt restructuring as advisable based on the contractually agreed valuation methods and their actual market value after allowing the shareholders to exercise their preemptive rights on an equal footing.
On June 16, 2010, the Board of Directors resolved to launch a preemptive offer to sell a portion of the Bank’s treasury shares, for a total of 36.0 million class D shares. The remaining shares would be delivered in payment to the holders of Stock Appreciation Rights (StAR) coupons arising from the debt restructuring, which fell due on August 3, 2010. On July 26, 2010, within the framework of the referred offer, the Bank sold approximately 26.9 million of the shares mentioned above.
On August 3, 2010 the proceeds of the offer and the balance of the shares referred in the preceding paragraph were made available to the holders of the Stock Appreciation Rights (StAR) coupons. With the above-mentioned offering, 999,312 Class D shares were sold in excess of those required to pay off the obligation previously mentioned. In connection with such excess sale, Ps. 554 thousand were recorded as retained earnings to reflect the addition of the shares to the entity’s equity, which took place on January 29, 2009 as detailed in this note, and a further Ps. 834 thousand were booked as Additional paid-in capital for the difference between the value as added to the entity’s equity and the sales value.
The General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 24, 2013 resolved to allocate 35,100,000 Class D shares held by the Bank to a compensation program for the personnel under the terms of Section 67 of Law 26831.
On April 24, 2014 the General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting acknowledged the incentive or compensation program described in the preceding paragraph and its extension to the personnel employed by the subsidiaries BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A., BH Valores S.A., BHN Sociedad de Inversión S.A., BHN Vida S.A. and BHN Seguros Generales S.A.
The Class B shares have been set aside for sale to the Bank's employees in the future pursuant to the PPP on terms and conditions to be established by the Argentine government. Any Class B shares not acquired by the Bank's employees at the time the Bank implements the PPP will automatically convert into Class A shares. The Class C shares are eligible for sale only to companies engaging in housing construction or real estate activities. Any Class B shares transferred by an employee outside the PPP will automatically convert to Class D shares or Class C shares transferred to persons not engaged in construction or real estate activities will automatically convert into Class D shares.

(b) Distribution of profits
No profits may be distributed when any financial year does not produce profits.
Argentine Central Bank Communication “A” 4152 dated June 2, 2004 left without effect the suspension of the distribution of profits established by Communication “A” 3574. However, those banks that proceed to such distribution must be previously authorized by the Financial and Exchange Institutions Superintendency.
Through Communiqué “A” 4526 dated April 24, 2006, the BCRA established that when the Legal Reserve is used to absorb losses, earnings shall not be distributed until the reimbursement thereof. Should the balance prior to the absorption exceed 20% of the Capital Stock plus the Capital Adjustment, profits may be distributed once the latest value is reached.
For purposes of determining distributable balances, the net difference arising from the book value and the market quotation shall be deducted from retained earnings, in the event the Entity records government debt securities and/or debt securities issued by the BCRA not recorded at market prices, with volatility published by such entity.
Pursuant to its Communication “A” 5072, BCRA established that no dividend distribution shall be admitted in so far as: a) the amounts deposited as minimum cash requirements on average – in Pesos, foreign currency or in Government securities – were less than the requirements pertaining to the most recently closed position or the position as projected taking into account the effect of the distribution of dividends, and/or b) the amounts deposited as minimum capital requirements were less than the requirements recalculated as previously mentioned plus a 30% increase, and/or c) the Entity has received financial aid from the BCRA on grounds of illiquidity as set forth in Section 17 of BCRA’s Charter.
On January 27, 2012, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 5272 whereby it established that for the calculation of the minimum capital requirement, the minimum capital for operational risk shall be included. On the same date, Communication “A” 5273 was also issued, whereby the BCRA resolved to increase the percentage referred to in the preceding paragraph, subsection b), from 30% to 75%.
Communication “A” 5369 provided that as from January 1, 2013, for the purposes of calculating the position of minimum capitals, the capital requirement for credit risk due to securitizations must be computed over all the transactions outstanding as of the computation date.
On September 23, 2013 the Argentine Congress enacted Law N° 26,983 which amends the Income Tax Law and sets forth that dividends or earnings in money or in kind shall be levied with Income Tax at a 10% tax rate payable in a final and lump sum.
The Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, held on April 13, 2011, resolved to distribute the income for the year ended on December 31, 2010 as follows: Ps. 39,063 (20%), to be applied to the legal reserve Ps. 100,000 (61.59%), to be paid out as cash dividends on ordinary shares, and the balance, after the Board’s remuneration, to be maintained as retained earnings. On September 20, 2012, the BCRA reported that there were no objections against the Bank’s distribution of cash dividends for Ps. 100,000 thousand, as requested. For such reason, on October 10, 2012 such cash funds were made available to the shareholders.
The Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, held on August 23, 2013, resolved to distribute the income for the year ended on December 31, 2012 as follows: Ps. 68,721, to be applied to the legal reserve; Ps. 30,000, to be paid out as cash dividends on ordinary shares; and Ps. 244,886 to be maintained as retained earnings. This decision has been approved by BCRA.
On April 24, 2014, the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to distribute the income for the year ended on December 31, 2013 as follows: Ps. 84,190, to be applied to the legal reserve; Ps. 42,000, to be paid out as cash dividends on ordinary shares; and Ps. 294,760 to be maintained as retained earnings. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, this decision is pending approval by BCRA.
26. Employee Benefit Plan
The Bank is obligated to make employer contributions to the National Pension Plan System determined on the basis of the total monthly payroll. These expenses are recorded in “Salaries and social security contributions” under the “Administrative expenses” caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
27. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
In the normal course of its business the Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These instruments expose the Bank to credit risk in addition to amounts recognized in the balance sheets. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer at a future date, subject to such customers meeting of pre-defined contractual milestones. Typically, the Bank will commit to extend financing for construction project lending on the basis of the certified progress of the work under construction. Most arrangements require the borrower to pledge the land or buildings under construction as collateral. In the opinion of management, the Bank’s outstanding commitments do not represent unusual credit risk. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party is represented by the contractual notional amount of those commitments.
|
(b)
|
The Bank has a unilateral and irrevocable right to reduce or change the credit card limit, thus it considered there is no off-balance sheet risk. In the opinion of management, the Bank’s outstanding commitments do not represent unusual credit risk. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party is represented by the contractual notional amount of those commitments.
|
(c)
|
The Bank accounts for items drawn on other banks in memorandum accounts until such time as the related item clears or is accepted. In the opinion of management, the Bank’s risk of loss on these clearing transactions is not significant as the transactions primarily relate to collections on behalf of third parties.
|
(d)
|
Mainly includes the amounts given as collateral for swaps transactions held by the bank.

29. Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
On March 29, 2009, the FACPCE issued the Technical Resolution N° 26 “Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Financial Reporting Board (IASB)” which requires companies under supervision of the National Securities Commission (C.N.V.) to prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS as published by the IASB for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, including comparative information for earlier periods. The C.N.V. issued Resolution N° 562/09, as amended by Resolution 576/10 formally adopting application of Resolution N° 26 to its regulated entities for fiscal years beginning on January 2, 2012.
The IFRS adopted by the C.N.V. are not applicable to the Bank. This is due to the fact that the C.N.V. holds the position to accept accounting criteria set forth by other regulatory or control body, such as those established by the Argentine Central Bank for the companies included in the Financial Institutions Law. However, IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. (IRSA) is required to comply with the changes to the Argentine GAAP and therefore the Bank, an unconsolidated associated company of IRSA, will have to prepare its financial information for purposes of providing such information to IRSA for their filings under IFRS.
On February 12, 2014, BCRA issued its Communication “A” 5541 whereby it provides a roadmap to convergence between the informative and accounting regime and IFRS. Pursuant to this Communication, the entities and institutions must start to account for their financial transactions and changes in accordance with the rules issued by BCRA to that end in the framework of the above-mentioned convergence regime as from the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018.
On September 22, 2014, BCRA issued Communication “A” 5635 which details the formalities and content which must comply the implementation plan for the convergence to IFRS that financial entities must present to the BCRA before March 31, 2015.

2.
|
By reason of the “CER Swap Linked to PG08s and External Debt” transaction closed on February 23, 2007 and settled on January 29, 2009, on May 5, 2011 the Bank was notified of the commencement of summary financial proceedings No. 1320 (File No. 100.299/10). The subject matter of these proceedings are alleged infringements of the laws on loans granted to the Non-Financial Public Sector, excesses over the limits related to fractioning credit risk exposure to the non-financial public sector, excess assets given as collateral, deficiencies in minimum capital requirements and objections to accounting treatment.
|
The relevant defenses and arguments in support of the Bank’s position were filed in due course, and the case is pending decision by the Central Bank’s Contentious Matters Department.

On February 19, 2014, the Bank was notified of Resolution No. 209/13 handed down by the Chairman of the Financial Information Unit (UIF), whereby it ordered to commence summary proceedings against the Bank and its directors charging them for alleged violation of the provisions of Section 21 of Law 25,246, as amended, and Resolution UIF No. 228/2007 due to certain defaults detected by the BCRA in the inspection of the organization and in internal controls implemented for the prevention of money-laundering derived from illegal activities. On March 25, 2014, the relevant defenses and arguments were filed in support of the Bank and the individuals subject to the summary proceedings. These proceedings are under analysis by the Summary Proceedings division of the UIF.

31. Programa Crédito Argentino del Bicentenario para la Vivienda Única y Familiar (Pro.Cre.Ar)
On June 12, 2012, the Argentine Executive Branch issued Decree No. 902 whereby it ordered the creation of a Public Fiduciary Fund referred to as Programa Crédito Argentino del Bicentenario para la Vivienda Única Familiar (Argentine Single Family Housing Program for the Bicentennial) (Pro.Cre.Ar.).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
On that same date, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved the Bank’s role as trustee of the referred fund.
On July 18, 2012, the Argentine State, as Trustor, and Banco Hipotecario S.A. as Trustee, created the PROCREAR Administrative and Financial Trust, and its underlying assets were transferred to it as trust property.
The Trust’s sole and irrevocable purpose is as follows: (i) to manage the trust assets with the aim of facilitating the population’s access to housing and the generation of job opportunities as economic and social development policies, in compliance with the principles and objectives set forth in Decree No. 902; (ii) the use by the Trustee of the net proceeds of the placement of the Trust Bonds (Valores Representativos de Deuda or VRDs) and cash contributions by the Argentine State to originate loans for the construction of houses in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 902 and the credit lines; and (iii) the repayment of the VRDs in accordance with the terms of the agreement that creates the Trust and the provisions of the Trust Law.
The Trust shall be in effect for a term of thirty (30) years as from the date of execution of the agreement (July 18, 2012).
In addition to the obligations imposed on it under the Trust Law and the Commercial Code, the Trustee is required to:
• perform the obligations set forth in the Trust Agreement and follow the instructions imparted on it by the Executive Committee;
• carry out its duties as Trustee with the loyalty, diligence and prudence of a good businessman acting on the basis of the trust placed on him;
• exercise the powers granted to it under the Agreement, and preserve the Trust Assets;
• use the Trust Assets for lawful purposes, in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and following the Executive Committee’s instructions;
• identify the Trust Property and record it in a separate accounting system, segregated from its own assets or the assets of other trusts held by it at present or in the future in the course of its business;
• prepare the Trust’s financial statements, hire the relevant audit firms and comply with the applicable disclosure regulations;
• insure the Trust Assets against risks that could affect their integrity;
• invest or reinvest the Trust’s funds in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and following the instructions imparted by the Executive Committee.
In compliance with Communication “A” 5392, the Bank has capitalized mortgage loan origination expenses under this program (see note 2.13.).
32. Capital Market Law
On December 27, 2012, the capital market law was promulgated, considering a comprehensive amendment to the public offering regime set forth by Law No. 17,811.
Insofar as concerns the matters related to the Company’s business, this law broadens the regulatory powers of the Argentine Government in connection with the public offering of securities, through the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), and concentrates in this agency the powers of authorization, supervision and oversight, disciplinary authority and regulation of all capital market players; further, it establishes that intermediary agents willing to deal in a securities market are no longer required to be members thereof, thus allowing the entry of other participants, and delegates to the CNV the power to authorize, register and regulate the various categories of agents.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
On August 1, 2013, Decree 1023/2013, partially regulating the Capital Markets Law, was published in the Official Gazette, and on September 9, 2013, General Resolution No. 622 of the CNV, approving the related regulations, was published in the Official Gazette.
These regulations implement a register of agents that participate in the capital market. To take part in each of the activities regulated by this resolution, agents must be entered in that register in such capacity before March 1, 2014.
For those agents who have applied for registration with the final registry before March 1, 2014 to comply with all the requirements, on February 7, 2014, the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) extended the term until June 30, 2014. In turn, on June 23, 2014 we were notified by Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. that CNV mandated that the Agents registered with MAE S.A. who have proceedings underway before CNV for registration as Agent in any of the categories authorized by currently applicable rules and regulations may continue to do business normally up and until they start operating in the new Agent category as per the CNV rules (N.T.2013)
Taking into consideration the business currently developed by Banco Hipotecario S.A. and pursuant to the different categories of agents set forth in General Resolution No. 622/13 of the CNV (the “Rules”), the Bank is carrying out the application proceedings for registration with such agency in the categories of comprehensive settlement and clearing agent (ALyC, as per its Spanish acronym), and financial fiduciary agent is pending.
In turn, pursuant to CNV Resolution No. 17.392 dated June 26, 2014, the Bank was registered with the Registry of Financial Trustees prescribed by Sections 6 and 7 of Chapter IV, Title V of the Rules, under No. 57.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 45 of Law 26,831 and paragraph a), Section 20, Article VI, Chapter II, Title VII, and subsection j) of Section 7, Article IV, Chapter IV, Title V of Resolution No.622 of the CNV, it is made known that Banco Hipotecario’s minimum capital composed as required by the rules issued by the Argentine Central Bank exceeds the minimum amount required under such resolution.
33. Rules for the protection of financial services users
On June 10, 2014, the Argentine Central Bank issued a number of circular communications, “A” 5590 through 5593, which came into force as from their issuance, to modify the regulatory regime governing consumer and pledge loans and to further controls over interest rates, charges and commissions.
Some of the new provisions arising from these circular communications are: a) adoption of a regime of benchmark interest rates for consumer and pledge loans granted to individuals who do not qualify as Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises by imposing a ceiling on this type of credit extension which may not exceed the amount yielded by the LEBAC 90 days’ cut-off rate times a factor ranging from 1.25 to 2.00 depending on the type of loan and the Bank group; b) launch of the concept of “Total Financial Cost – Annual Nominal” in order to prevent distortions, which shall be expressed as an annual nominal interest rate in a percentage with two decimals and will be determined by adding the effect of the commissions and charges associated to the transaction, to the interest rate irrespective of the reason .; c) the financial institutions that issue credit cards as well as the credit card issuers that are “non-financial” must be authorized by BCRA before they can apply increases to the cost of basic financial services and changes in the captions that make them up, which must be requested from the Argentine Central Bank in a note.

The effects of these rules have not had a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements as of the date hereof.
34. Summary of Significant Differences between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP
The Bank’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Such differences involve methods of measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements include solely a reconciliation of net income and shareholders’ equity to U.S. GAAP. Pursuant to Item 17 of Form 20-F, this reconciliation does not include disclosure of all information that would be required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC.
I. Differences in measurement methods
As from March 1, 2003, inflation accounting was discontinued. The following reconciliation does not include the reversal of the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements for the effects of inflation, because, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), it represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price-level changes in the Argentine economy, and as such, is considered a more meaningful presentation than historical cost-based financial reporting for both Argentine GAAP and U.S. GAAP.
The main differences between Argentine GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to the Bank are described below, together with an explanation, where appropriate, of the method used in the determination of the necessary adjustments. References below to “ASC” are to Accounting Standard Codification issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the United States of America.

BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
a. Loan origination fees and costs
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the Bank does not defer loan origination fees and costs on mortgage, personal and credit card loans, different from those originated under the Pro.Cre.Ar program.
Given the bank’s role as Trustee of the PROCREAR Administrative and Financial Trust, (see note 31), it has capitalized direct expenses incurred in the mortgage loan origination process, which disbursements would not have been incurred by it had it not been for the grant of the related loans, in accordance with the provisions of Communication “A” 5392. Such origination expenses are amortized in 60 monthly installments.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, under ASC 310 loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs should be recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment of yield.
Therefore the shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP for Banco Hipotecario S.A. as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. (71,568) and (99,093), respectively.
b. Loan loss reserve
The Bank’s accounting for its allowance for loan losses differs in some significant respects with practices of U.S.-based banks.
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the allowance for loan losses is calculated according to specific criteria. This criterion is different for commercial loans (those in excess of Ps. 1,500) and consumer loans. Loan loss reserves for commercial loans are principally based on the debtors’ payment capacity and cash-flows analysis. Loan loss reserves for consumer loans are based on the client’s aging. Argentine banks may maintain other reserves to cover potential loan losses which management believes to be inherent in the loan portfolio, and other Argentine Central Bank required reserves.
Under U.S. GAAP, the allowance for loan losses should be in amounts adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan portfolio, incurred at the respective balance sheet dates. Specifically:
a)
|
Loans considered impaired, in accordance with ASC 310-10 “Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, are recorded at the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective contractual interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Under ASC 310-10, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the borrower will be unable to pay contractual interest or principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. ASC 310-10 applies to all loans except smaller-balance homogeneous consumer loans, loans carried at the lower of cost or fair value, debt securities, and leases.
|
The Bank applies ASC 310-10 to all commercial loans classified as “With problems”, “Insolvency Risks” and “Uncollectible” or commercial loans more than 90 days past due. The Bank specifically calculates the present value of estimated cash flows for commercial loans in excess of Ps.1,500 and more than 90 days past due. For commercial and other loans in legal proceedings, loans in excess of Ps.1,500 are specifically reviewed either on a cash-flow or collateral-value basis, both considering the estimated time to settle the proceedings.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the result of applying ASC 310-10, shows that the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity for U.S. GAAP purposes of Ps. 54,052 and Ps. 31,459, respectively.
b)
|
In addition, the Bank has performed a migration analysis for mortgage, credit cards and consumer loans following the ASC 450-20 and historical loss ratios were determined by analyzing historical losses, in order to calculate the allowance required for smaller-balance impaired loans and unimpaired loans for U.S. GAAP purposes. Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type and thus for homogeneous groups of clients. Such historical ratios were updated to incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends, geographic or obligor concentrations within each portfolio segment, and any other pertinent information that may affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.

BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
As a result of the analysis mentioned before, the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity for U.S. GAAP purposes of Ps. (162,828) and Ps. (90,359), for 2014 and 2013, respectively.
c)
|
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, loans that were previously charged-off, which are subsequently restructured and become performing loans, are included again in the Bank’s assets, according to the policies adopted by the bank. Under U.S. GAAP recoveries of loans previously charged off should be recorded when received. As of June 2014 and 2013, the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity related to reinstated loans of Ps. (79,889) and Ps. (103,897), respectively.
|
d)
|
Effective July 1, 2010, the Bank implemented new accounting guidance provided by SFAS 166 and 167 (ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, respectively, under the new codification), which amend the accounting for transfers of financial assets and consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). As a result of applying such guidance, the Bank, or its subsidiaries, were deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the securitization trusts because the Bank, or its subsidiaries, have the power to direct the activities of these VIEs through its servicing responsibilities and duties. Additionally, the Bank, or its subsidiaries, through its retained interests held in these securitizations have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs. As a result of the analysis performed, the Bank should consolidate assets and liabilities of those securitization trusts, elimininating the investment in the retained interests and recording and adjustment in the allowance for loan losses of such securitization trusts.
|
As a result of the analysis mentioned before, the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity for U.S. GAAP purposes of Ps. (1,173) and Ps. 2,636, for 2014 and 2013, respectively.
As a result of analysis performed the breakdown of the shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP between the Bank’s adjustment and the reconsolidated securitization trusts as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

c. Derivative Financial Instruments
As mentioned in notes 17 and 2.9. the Bank entered in several derivative transactions, mainly, to hedge: i) the exchange rate risk attached to liabilities denominated in foreign currency and in pesos plus CER, and ii) interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk.
Under Argentine Central Bank rules, currency swaps are recorded on the basis of the net asset or liability derived from the accrual of interest receivable in Euros or US dollar, minus the accrual of interest payable in US dollar or Euros (both derived from the current coupon of the swap).
In addition, under Argentine Central Bank rules, currency swap carried out as a hedge for the bank’s exposure to the CER-adjusted liabilities, have been recorded according to the net asset or liability position derived from variations in the underlying assets. In addition, the Bank created provisions for these transactions when the value stated above exceeded their fair value, as requested by the BCRA for this credit currency swap.
Gains and losses are recorded in earnings in each period.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815 which establishes the standards of accounting and reporting derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded within contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and hedging activities. This statement requires institutions to recognize all derivatives in the balance sheet, whether as assets or liabilities, and to measure those instruments at their fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge for the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recorded asset or liability or unrecorded firm commitment, (b) a hedge for the exposure of future cash flows and (c) a hedge for the exposure of foreign currency. If such a hedge designation is achieved then special hedge accounting can be applied for the hedged transactions that will reduce the volatility in the income statement to the extent that the hedge is effective. In order for hedge accounting to be applied the derivative and the hedged item must meet strict designation and effectiveness tests.
The Bank’s derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP. Therefore gains and losses are recorded in earnings in each period.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank’s estimates the fair value of the receivable and payable on the derivative instrument using valuation techniques with observable market parameters. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the shareholder’s equity adjustment amounts to Ps. (876) and Ps. 65, respectively.

As of June 30, 2004 the Bank held certain defaulted Argentine government bonds. Such bonds were not quoted in the public market. On January 2005, the Bank accepted the offer to exchange its defaulted government securities for “Discount Bonds in pesos” issued under the Argentine debt restructuring. On April 1, 2005 the government securities were exchange.
For U.S. GAAP purposes and in accordance with ASC 310 satisfaction of one monetary asset (in this case a defaulted government securities) by the receipt of another monetary asset (in this case Discount Bonds) from the creditor is generally based on the market value of the asset received in satisfaction of the debt. In this particular case, the Bonds being received are significantly different in structure and in interest rates than the securities swapped. Therefore, the fair value of the Bonds was determined on the balance sheet date based on their market value and will constitute the cost basis of the asset. Any difference between the old asset and the fair value of the new asset is recognized as a gain or loss.
During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2014, there have been purchases of Discount Bonds.
The bonds arisen from the exchange have been recorded in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP at their quoted market prices, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013. The remaining bonds have been valued according to note 2.2.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Discount Bonds were considered available for sale securities for U.S. GAAP purposes according with ASC 320-10 and recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the following table shows the amortized cost, book value and fair value of the mentioned bond.

The Bank has evaluated whether there was a decline in the value of the security that is other-than temporary as defined by ASC 320.
A number of factors are considered in performing an impairment analysis of securities. Those factors include, among others:
a.
|
Intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment for a period of time that allows for any anticipated recovery in market value;
|
b.
|
Expectation to recover the entire amortized cost of the security;
|
c.
|
Recoveries in fair value after the balance sheet date;
|
d.
|
The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer (such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investment or the discontinuance of a segment of a business that may affect the future earnings potential).
|
e.
|
Likelihood that it will be required to sell debt investments before recovery of amortized cost
|
The Bank also takes into account the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been less than cost and changes in global and regional economic conditions and changes related to specific issuers or industries that could adversely affect these values.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the fair value of the investment is greater than its amortized cost.
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, some National Government Bonds, unquoted securities issued by the BCRA and bills issued by Provincial Governments have been recorded at cost. This value increases monthly on the basis of the internal rate of return resulting from the interest rate which, used as discount, matches the cash flow’s present value with the initial value.
Under U.S. GAAP these securities were considered available for sale securities according with ASC 320 and recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.

The Bank has evaluated whether there was a decline in the value of the security that is other-than temporary as defined by ASC 320-10.
The Bank as a result of its analysis has determined that, as of June 30, 2013, unrealized losses on Bonar 2017 Bonds, are temporary in nature based on its ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery, the financial condition of the issuer and the recoveries in fair values after the balance sheet date. In addition, the bank has performed an impairment analysis for the rest of their portfolio and no other than temporary impairment were detected.
As of June 30, 2014, the Bank as a result of its analysis has determined that unrealized losses on PRO XIII Bonds are not temporary, consequently the Bank has recorded an other-than temporary impairment for U.S. GAAP purposes. Therefore the fair value of the security was determined on the balance sheet date based on their market value and will constitute the new cost basis for the asset. In addition, the bank has performed an impairment analysis for the rest of their portfolio and no other than temporary impairment were detected.
e. Provincial Public Debt
As of June 2002, the Bank offered to exchange certain loans to Argentine provincial governments for loans or securities of the Argentine National Government; however the exchange had not been finalized until 2003. As these loans were performing no provision was recorded under U.S. GAAP in accordance with ASC 310-10.
In 2003, the Bank tendered in the exchange under Decree N°1579/02 almost all its portfolio of loans to provincial governments and received securities of the Argentine National Government (“BOGAR”).
For U.S. GAAP purposes and in accordance with ASC 310-20 satisfaction of one monetary asset (in this case a loan) by the receipt of another monetary asset (in this case BOGAR) from the creditor is generally based on the market value of the asset received in satisfaction of the debt. In this particular case, the BOGAR being received is significantly different in structure and in interest rates than the loans swapped. Therefore, such amounts should initially be recognized at their market value. The estimated fair value of the securities received will constitute the cost basis of the asset. Any difference between the old asset and the fair value of the new asset is recognized as a gain or loss. The difference between the cost basis and the amount expected to be collected will be amortized on an effective yield basis over the life of the bond.
BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
For U.S. GAAP purposes, these BOGAR Bonds were classified by the Bank, as available for sale securities and recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.
During the period ended June 30, 2013, all BOGAR Bonds were sold. Therefore, the 2013 U.S. GAAP net income reconciliation includes the reversal of the 2012 shareholders’ equity adjustment of Ps. 363 plus Ps. 694 of gains previously recorded through other comprehensive income, which that are being realized and reversed through the income statement during the period ended June 30, 2013.
f. Financial liabilities
As described in note 15, the bank has issued several series of negotiable obligations in different terms and conditions. Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the costs of originating such instruments have been charged to the Income Statement at the issuance date.
Under U.S.GAAP, and according to ASC 835-30-45-3, issuance costs should be reported in the balance sheet as deferred charges. In addition, ASC 470-10-35-2 states that debt issuance costs should be amortized over the same period used in the interest cost determination.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the shareholder’s equity adjustment amounts to Ps. 7,573 and Ps. 3,437, respectively.
g. Securitizations
For Argentine Banking GAAP purposes, the debt securities and certificates retained by the Bank are accounted for at cost plus accrued interest for the debt securities, and the equity method is used to account for the residual interest in the trust.
Under U.S. GAAP the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) is required to consolidate its assets and liabilities. An entity is considered a VIE if it possesses one of the following characteristics:
·
|
Insufficient Equity Investment at Risk
|
·
|
Equity lacks decision-making rights
|
·
|
Equity with non-substantive voting rights
|
·
|
Lacking the obligation to Absorb an Entity´s Expected Losses
|
·
|
Lacking the right to receive an Entity´s expected residual returns
|
The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
To assess whether the Bank has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the Bank considers all facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities.
BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
As a consequence of this assessment, the Bank was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of certain securitization trusts because the Bank has the power to direct the activities of these VIEs through its servicing responsibilities and duties. Additionally, the Bank through its retained interests held in these securitizations has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, as of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Bank consolidated certain VIE’s in which the Bank had a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Bank reconsolidated their net assets, eliminated the gain or loss recognized on the sale of receivables when the carrying value of transferred credit card receivables differs from the amount of cash and certificates of participation received, eliminated the servicing liabilities and re-established its loan loss reserves under ASC 450-20. See note 34.b. for allowance for loan losses.
No servicing assets or liabilities have been recognized.
The total shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. (31,876) and Ps. (21,151), respectively.
Additional information required by U.S. GAAP
The Bank adopted ASC 860-10 and ASC 810-10 which require additional disclosures about its involvement with consolidated VIE’s and expanded the population of VIE’s to be disclosed. The table below presents the assets and liabilities of the financial trusts which have been consolidated for U.S. GAAP purposes:

As of June 30, 2014, the Bank’s maximum loss exposure, which amounted to Ps. 2,701,663, is based on the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIE’s become worthless and incorporates potential losses associated with assets recorded on the Bank’s Balance Sheet. Nevertheless, under Argentine Law the Debt securities will be paid exclusively with the securitized assets.
h. Intangible Assets
Software costs
Under Argentine Banking GAAP fees paid for a re-engineering project and for restructuring expenses incurred in relation to certain equity transactions are recognized as an intangible asset and amortized in a maximum of five years. Such cost should be expensed as incurred under U.S. GAAP.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the Bank capitalizes costs relating to all three of the stages of software development. Under ASC 350-40 defines three stages for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage and the post-implementation operation stage. Only the second stage costs should be capitalized.
Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. (37,363) and Ps. (18,967), respectively.
Other intangible assets
On January 13, 2011, Tarshop S.A. acquired from APSA Media S.A., previously Metroshop S.A., a portfolio of credit cards delinquent by less than 60 days; a contractual position in contracts for the issuance of credit cards; the accounts of customers, the lease agreements and movable property at certain branches and the contracts of employment with personnel under a labor relationship.
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, no intangible assets should be recognized in accordance with these transactions.
Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 350-30 defines that an intangible asset which is acquired either individually or with a group of other assets shall be recognized. Assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes the transaction costs of the assets acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs the assets’ carrying amount on the acquiring entity’s books. The cost of a group of assets acquired shall be allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and shall not give rise to goodwill.
Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. 3,097 and Ps. 7,890, respectively, related to the contractual position in contracts for the issuance of credit cards and the accounts of customers recorded as intangibles assets for U.S. GAAP purposes.

On August 30, 2010, the Financial and Exchange Institutions Superintendency of the Argentine Central Bank gave its consent to the purchase of 80% of the share capital of Tarshop SA. Such shareholding consists of 107,037,152 non-endorsable, registered ordinary shares, par value 1 Peso per share, and entitled to one vote per share, in turn equivalent to 107,037,152 votes.
The sales price amounted to US$ 26.8 million, of which 20% (US$ 5.4 million) was paid on December 29, 2009 and the remaining balance of the price was cancelled on September 13, 2010.
Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank rules, and due to the difference between the acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, a goodwill amounting to Ps. 29,568 was recorded under Intangible Assets – Goodwill. This goodwill is subsequently charged to Income on a straight-line basis during 60 months. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Bank has a balance of Ps. 18,234 and Ps. 21,191, respectively, related to the goodwill.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 805 requires the acquisition of controlling interest of Tarshop S.A. to be accounted for as a business combination applying the purchase method, recognizing all net assets acquired at their fair value.
The intangible assets identified as part of the acquisition where customer relationships, trademark and workforce amounted to Ps. 24,394 as of August 31, 2010 subject to amortization.
ii) Acquisition of additional shares of Bacs.
On May 24, 2012, the Financial and Exchange Institutions Superintendency of the Argentine Central Bank gave its consent to the purchase of the 17.5% of BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A. shares, which price was paid in two installments. The first one on March 30, 2011 (20%) and the last one on June 11, 2012 (80%). As a result, the Bank’s new shareholding in BACS’s capital stock increased from 70% to 87.5%.
On the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2012, the Bank recognized, under Argentine Banking GAAP a gain of Ps. 3,6 thousand corresponding to the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the related carrying value of the NCI acquired.
For U.S. GAAP purposes an acquisition on additional interest obtained when the control is maintained should be accounted for as an equity transaction. As such the Bank under USGAAP: a) do not recognize a gain in the income statement, b) recognize the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the related carrying value of the NCI acquired in the controlling interests´ equity and c) reclassify the carrying value of the NCI obtained from the NCI to the controlling interests´ equity.
ii) Acquisition of BACS Administradora de activos S.A. S.G.F.C.I.
On April 26, 2012 BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A. acquired 85% of the shares belonging to BACS Administradora de activos S.A. S.G.F.C.I. (former FCMI Argentina Financial Corporation S.A. S.G.F.C.I.). The purchase price was Ps. 6 million.
Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank rules, and due to the difference between the acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired as of April 30, 2012, a goodwill amounting to Ps. 4,728 was recorded under Intangible Assets – Goodwill. This goodwill is subsequently charged to income on a straight-line basis during 120 months. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Bank recorded such balance which amounted to Ps. 3,704 and Ps. 4,176, respectively.
Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 805 requires the acquisition of controlling interest of BACS Administradora de activos S.A. S.G.F.C.I. (former FCMI Argentina Financial Corporation S.A. S.G.F.C.I.) to be accounted for as a business combination applying the purchase method, recognizing all net assets acquired at their fair value.
The Bank applies the following guidance:
- if the consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the acquirer shall recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, or,
- if the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the acquirer shall recognize the resulting gain in earnings on the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

i. Impairment of fixed assets and foreclosed assets
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, fixed assets and foreclosed assets are restated for inflation using the WPI index at February 28, 2003. As such, the balances of fixed assets and foreclosed assets were increased approximately 120%.
In accordance with ASC 360-10 such assets are subject to impairment tests in certain circumstances. Because projected cash flows associated with fixed assets and foreclosed assets are insufficient to recover the restated carrying amounts of the assets, those assets should be tested for impairment. During 2002, in the absence of credible market values for our fixed and foreclosed assets, the Bank under U.S. GAAP reversed the restatement of fixed and foreclosed assets.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
As of June 2014 and 2013, no additional impairment was recorded in fixed and foreclosed assets.
Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. (38,323) and Ps. (39,306), respectively. The differences between periods are due to depreciation recorded under Argentine Banking GAAP.
j. Non-controlling interest
Argentine Banking GAAP rules require recording non-controlling interests as a component of the liabilities. ASC 810 requires recording such interests as shareholders’ equity. In addition, the U.S. GAAP adjustment represents the allocation to the non-controlling interest of non-wholly owned subsidiaries of certain U.S. GAAP adjustments related to such subsidiaries.

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
k. Vacation Provision
The Bank’s policy for vacation benefits is to expense such benefits as taken. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the vacation accrual is based on an accrual basis, where earned but untaken vacation is recognized as a liability.
Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. (40,332) and Ps. (21,377), respectively.
l. Insurance Technical reserve
Until September 2003, the calculation of the local technical reserves performed by the Bank was the same as that used under U.S. GAAP.
On September 2003, the National Insurance Superintendency issued certain regulations on the calculation of reserves introducing changes to the local regulations. For U.S. GAAP purposes the Bank has accounted these insurance technical reserves under ASC 944.
Therefore, the technical reserves for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were adjusted for U.S. GAAP purposes. Shareholders’ equity adjustment as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. (3,119) and Ps. (4,517), respectively.
m. Capitalization of interest cost
Under Argentine Banking GAAP, during the process of construction of an asset the capitalization of interest is not recognized.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, as stated in ASC 835-20 the amount of interest cost to be capitalized for qualifying assets is intended to be that portion of the interest cost incurred during the assets’ acquisition periods that theoretically could have been avoided (for example, by avoiding additional borrowings or by using the funds expended for the assets to repay existing borrowings) if expenditures for the assets had not been made.
The amount capitalized in an accounting period shall be determined by applying an interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The capitalization rates used in an accounting period shall be based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period.
The total amount of interest cost capitalized in an accounting period shall not exceed the total amount of interest cost incurred by the enterprise in that period.
Shareholders’ Equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted to Ps. 3,226 and Ps. 2,925, respectively.
n. Deferred Income Tax
Argentine Banking GAAP requires income taxes to be recognized on the basis of amounts due in accordance with Argentine tax regulations. Temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of accounting are therefore not considered in recognizing income taxes.
In accordance with ASC 740-10 under U.S. GAAP income taxes are recognized on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recorded or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized for that component of net deferred tax assets which is “more likely than not” that it will not be recoverable.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and based on the tax projections performed, the Bank believes that is more likely than not that it will recover the net operating tax loss carry forward and all the temporary differences, with future taxable income.
In a consolidated basis, the Bank has recognized a shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP that amounted to Ps. 214,230 and Ps. 159,108, as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, financial statement presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, it provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of June 30, 2014, there were no uncertain tax positions.
The Bank classifies income tax-related interest and penalties as income taxes in the financial statements. The adoption of this pronouncement had no effect on the Bank’s overall financial position or results of operations.
The following table shows the tax years open for examination as of June 30, 2014, by major tax jurisdictions in which the Bank operates:

o. Items in process of collection
The Bank does not give accounting recognition to checks drawn on the Bank or other banks, or other items to be collected until such time as the related item clears or is accepted. Such items are recorded by the Bank in memorandum accounts. U.S. banks, however, account for such items through balance sheet clearing accounts at the time the items are presented to the Bank.
The Bank’s assets and liabilities would be increased by approximately Ps. 163,304 and Ps. 132,369, had U.S. GAAP been applied at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

p. Fair Value Measurements Disclosures
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Effective January 2010, the Bank adopted new accounting guidance under ASC 820 that requires additional disclosures including, among other things, (i) the amounts and reasons for certain significant transfers among the three hierarchy levels of inputs, (ii) the gross, rather than net, basis for certain level 3 roll forward information, (iii) use of a “class” rather than a “major category” basis for assets and liabilities, and (iv) valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate level 2 and level 3 fair value measurements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
In addition, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows.
·
|
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
·
|
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
|
·
|
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
|
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Determination of fair value
Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Bank’s creditworthiness, liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time.
The Bank believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Bank to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair-value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models, the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.
Assets (by Class of asset)
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Bank’s securities are classified within level 1of the valuation hierarchy using quoted prices available in the active market. Level 1 securities includes government bonds and instruments issued by BCRA and corporate securities. Furthermore the Bank´s instruments issued by BCRA with no volatility published by the BCRA and bills issued by Provincial Governments are classified within Level 2 using quoted prices available of similar assets.
b)
|
Securities receivable under repurchase agreements
|
The Bank’s securities receivable under repurchase agreements which do not qualify for sale accounting for U.S. GAAP purposes, are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. To estimate the fair value of these securities, quoted prices are available in an active market.

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
The fair value of level 1 derivative positions are determined using quoted market prices. The fair value of level 2 derivative positions are determined using internally developed models that utilize market observable parameters.
Liabilities (by Class of liability)
The fair value of level 1 derivative positions are determined using quoted market prices.

Account receivable charge-off and recoveries
Under Argentine GAAP, recoveries on previously charge-off account receivable are recorded directly to income and the amount of charge-off account receivable in excess of amounts specifically allocated is recorded as a direct charge to the income statement. The Bank does not partially charge off troubled account receivable until final disposition of the credit, rather, the allowance is maintained on a credit-by –credit basis for its estimated settlement value. Under U.S. GAAP, all charge off and recovery activity is recorded through the allowance for account receivable losses account. Further, account receivables are generally charged to the allowance account when all or part of the credit is considered uncollectible.
Impaired loans
ASC 310, requires a creditor to measure impairment of a loan based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. This Statement is applicable to all loans (including those restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving amendment of terms), except large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans are considered impaired when, based on Management’s evaluation, a borrower will not be able to fulfill its obligation under the original loan terms.

Credit Quality
The following tables contain the loan portfolio classification by credit quality indicator set forth by the Argentine Central Bank.
Commercial Portfolio:
|
Loan Classification
|
Description
|
|
1. Normal Situation
|
|
The debtor is widely able to meet its financial obligations, demonstrating significant cash flows, a liquid financial situation, an adequate financial structure, a timely payment record, competent management, available information in a timely, accurate manner and satisfactory internal controls. The debtor is in a sector of activity that is operating properly and has good prospects.
|
|
2. With Special Follow-up
|
|
Cash flow analysis reflects that the debt may be repaid even though it is possible that the customer’s future payment ability may deteriorate without a proper follow-up.
This category is divided into two subcategories:
(2.a). Under Observation;
(2.b). Under Negotiation or Refinancing Agreements.
|
|
3. With Problems
|
|
Cash flow analysis evidences problems to repay the debt, and therefore, if these problems are not solved, there may be some losses.
|
|
4. High Risk of Insolvency
|
|
Cash flow analysis evidences that repayment of the full debt is highly unlikely.
|
|
5. Uncollectible
|
|
The amounts in this category are deemed total losses. Even though these assets may be recovered under certain future circumstances, inability to make payments is evident at the date of the analysis. It includes loans to insolvent or bankrupt borrowers.

BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
Credit quality indicators for the commercial portfolio are reviewed, at a minimum, on an annual basis.
Consumer Portfolio:
|
Loan Classification
|
Description
|
|
1. Normal Situation
|
|
Loans with timely repayment or arrears not exceeding 31 days, both of principal and interest.
|
|
2. Low Risk
|
|
Occasional late payments, with a payment in arrears of more than 32 days and up to 90 days. A customer classified as “Medium Risk” having been refinanced may be recategorized within this category, as long as he amortizes one principal installment (whether monthly or bimonthly) or repays 5% of principal.
|
|
3. Medium Risk
|
|
Some inability to make payments, with arrears of more than 91 days and up to 180 days. A customer classified as “High Risk” having been refinanced may be recategorized within this category, as long as he amortizes two principal installments (whether monthly or bimonthly) or repays 5% of principal.
|
|
4. High Risk
|

Troubled debt restructuring
According to BCRA regulations, a refinancing is considered to exist whenever any of the original contractually agreed conditions for a financing transaction (term, capital, interest or rate) are modified.
We concluded that all our refinanced loans comply with the conditions for considering them as troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) as defined under U.S. GAAP. In accordance with ASC 310-40 a restructured loan is considered a TDR if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and the Bank grants a concession to the debtor that would not otherwise be considered. Concessions granted could include: reduction in interest rate to rates that are considered below market, extension of repayment schedules and maturity dates beyond original contractual terms.

s. Risks and Uncertainties
All transactions involving the purchase of foreign currency must be settled through the single free exchange market (Mercado Único Libre de Cambios, or “MULC”) where the Central Bank supervises the purchase and sale of foreign currency. Under Executive Branch Decree No. 260/2002, the Argentine government set up an exchange market through which all foreign currency exchange transactions are made. Such transactions are subject to the regulations and requirements imposed by the Central Bank. Under Communication “A” 3471, as amended, the Central Bank established certain restrictions and requirements applicable to foreign currency exchange transactions. If such restrictions and requirements are not met, criminal penalties shall be applied.
On October 28, 2011, the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos, “AFIP”) established an Exchange Transactions Inquiry Program (“Inquiry Program”) through which the entities authorized by the Central Bank to deal in foreign exchange must inquire and register through an IT system the total peso amount of each exchange transaction at the moment it is closed. All foreign exchange sale transactions, whether involving foreign currency or banknotes, irrespective of their purpose or allocation, are subject to this inquiry and registration system, which determines whether Transactions are “Validated” or “Inconsistent”.
BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
Pursuant to Communication “A” 5239, afterward replaced by Communication “A” 5245, in the case of sales of foreign exchange (foreign currency or banknotes) for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without the obligation of subsequently allocating it to specific purpose, entities authorized to deal in foreign exchange may only allow transactions through the MULC by those clients who have obtained the validation and who comply with the rest of the requirements set forth in the applicable foreign exchange regulations. Sales of foreign exchange other than for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without a specific purpose are also exempted from the Inquiry Program, although, the financial entities must verify that the other requirements established by the MULC are accomplished.
According to Communication “A” 5264, as amended, in general terms the access to the foreign exchange market for resident in order to pay services, debts and profits to non-residents has no limits or restrictions. The access to the MULC requires the filing of certain documentation by residents evidencing the validity of transactions for which the funds are purchase for its remittance abroad. Communication “A” 5236, item 4.2. which regulated the outflow of fund allowing residents to access to the MULC for the formation of off-shore assets without a specific allocation by residents has been suspended and, up to now, the Central Bank has not issued any other measure or provisions in this regard.
On August 6, 2012, Resolution #3210 was replaced by Resolution #3356 enacted by AFIP. This resolution sets forth more restrictions for the access to the foreign exchange market, in particular for the outflow of funds made by residents. Both resolutions (3210 and 3356) are related with Communications “A” 5239 (currently abrogated) and 5245.
The Argentine government may, in the future, impose additional controls on the foreign exchange market and on capital flows from and into Argentina, in response to capital flight or depreciation of the Peso. These restrictions may have a negative effect on the economy and on our business if imposed in an economic environment where access to local capital is constrained.
t. U.S. GAAP estimates
Valuation reserves, impairment charges and estimates of market values on assets and step up bonds discounting, as established by the Bank for U.S. GAAP purposes are subject to significant assumptions of future cash flows and interest rates for discounting such cash flows. Losses on the exchange of government and provincial bonds were significantly affected by higher discount rates. Should the discount rates change in future years, the carrying amounts and charges to income and shareholders’ equity deficit will also change. In addition, as estimates of future cash flows change, so too will the carrying amounts which are dependent on such cash flows. It is possible that changes to the carrying amounts of loans, investments and other assets will be adjusted in the near term in amounts that are material to the Bank’s financial position and results of income.
u. Allowance for loan losses
Management believes that the current level of allowance for loan losses recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes are sufficient to cover incurred losses of the Bank’s loan portfolio as of June 30, 2014 and 2013. Many factors can affect the Bank’s estimates of allowance for loan losses, including expected cash flows, volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity. The process of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses requires a high degree of judgment. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions. If market conditions and economic uncertainties exist, it might result in higher credit losses and provision for credit losses in future periods.

35. New authoritative pronouncements
Accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet applied
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) - Liquidation Basis of Accounting”: There is minimal guidance in current U.S. GAAP that addresses when it is appropriate to apply, or how to apply, the liquidation basis of accounting. Consequently, there is diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are being issued to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Entities should apply the requirements prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent. Early adoption is permitted. Banco Hipotecario is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU and does not expect any significant effect in the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, “Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements”. This ASU amends guidance for determining whether an entity is an investment company, and measurement and disclosure requirements for all entities that are investment entities. The ASU is effective for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Banco Hipotecario is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU and does not expect any significant effect in the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate)” as a benchmark rate for hedge accounting purposes. This ASU permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be included as a U.S. benchmark interest rate, in addition to the U.S. Treasury rate and LIBOR, for hedge accounting purposes. The restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges was also removed.
The changes are effective immediately on issuance of the ASU and are to be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. Banco Hipotecario is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU and does not expect any significant effect in the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)”. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs.
The amendments will be effective for public companies for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The ASU can be adopted early and may be adopted either on a prospective or retroactive basis. Banco Hipotecario is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU and does not expect any significant effect in the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)
On May 28, 2014 the FASB and IASB issued their converged standard on revenue recognition. The objective of the revenue standard (ASC 606) is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets.
The revenue standard contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The revenue standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for U.S. GAAP public reporting entities and early adoption is not permitted.

Independent Auditors’ Report
New Lipstick LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of New Lipstick LLC and Subsidiary (A Limited Liability Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, member’s deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New Lipstick LLC and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

New Lipstick LLC and Subsidiary
(A Limited Liability Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Amounts in US dollars)
NOTE 1: BUSINESS
Formation and Property Description
New Lipstick LLC (the "Company"), was organized as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced operations on November 3, 2010. The Company was formed among IRSA International, LLC ("IRSA"), Marciano Investment Group, LLC ("Marciano"), Avi Chicouri ("AVI"), Par Holdings, LLC ("PAR"), and Armenonville S.A. ("Armenonville"), collectively (the "Members"). IRSA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TYRUS S.A. ("TYRUS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima, a company whose shares are listed on the Buenos Aires and New York Stock Exchanges. The Company was formed in order to acquire 100% interest in Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold LLC ("Metropolitan"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, and to provide management services to Metropolitan.
Metropolitan was organized for the purpose of acquiring and operating a 34 story Class A office tower commonly known as the Lipstick Building located at 885 Third Avenue in New York (the "Property"). Metropolitan leased the land which contains approximately 26,135 square feet. The Property was acquired on July 9, 2007 and contains approximately 635,800 square feet of rentable space.
On November 16, 2010 (the "Petition Date"), Metropolitan filed a voluntary pre-packaged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11") in the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") including a disclosure statement and plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). The Plan provided for, among other things, the extinguishment of 100% of the shares of Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue LLC and the issuance of the membership interest to the Company. The Plan was approved by Metropolitan's members and the Bankruptcy Court approved the Plan on December 22, 2010 with an effective date of December 30, 2010 (the "Effective Date").
Metropolitan accounted for the reorganization using "fresh start accounting" effective December 30, 2010. Accordingly, the forgiveness of debt was reflected in the predecessor entity's final statement of operations and all assets and liabilities were restated to reflect their reorganization value, which approximated fair values at the date of reorganization.
The Company operates under the guidelines of an Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into by the Members on November 15, 2010. The manager of the Company is Lipstick Management, LLC (the "Manager"), a company affiliated to IRSA.
The Agreement calls for Class A and Class B Members. Class A Members are IRSA, Marciano, and Armenonville and Class B Members are AVI and PAR.
Class B Membership interests of any Class B Member shall be automatically converted, in whole and not in part, into an equal number of Class A Membership interests on the earlier to occur of the date on which the Manager certifies that all unreturned additional Class A capital contributions and all unreturned Class A capital contributions have been reduced to zero.

Upon receipt of the ROFO notice, each of the offeree members has the right, exercisable in ten (10) days, to accept or decline the offer.
The Company shall continue perpetually until dissolution, liquidation or termination.
The liability of the members of the Company is limited to the members total contribution, plus any amounts guaranteed by the members.
The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of June 30.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of New Lipstick LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Metropolitan.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Use of Estimates
Management is required to use estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate
Real estate consists of building, building improvements and tenant improvements and is stated at cost. Building and improvements are depreciated over 39 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the terms of the respective leases.
Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized to building improvements and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds such cash flows, the assets are considered impaired. The impairment charge to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value. No impairment was recorded for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less upon acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalent accounts in financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash balances at three financial institutions. At times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) insurance limit. According to the FDIC insurance limit, deposits held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are aggregated with any interest-bearing deposits the Company may hold in the same ownership category, and the combined total insured is up to at least $250,000. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, these balances at one of the institutions, including tenant security and escrow amounts, were in excess of federally insurable limits by $6,521,774 and $7,387,001, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Amounts in US dollars)
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow, as required by the lender, to be used for real estate taxes, insurance and other qualified expenditures, as well as tenant security deposits.
Tenant Receivables
The Company carries its tenant receivables at the amount due pursuant to lease agreements but uncollected at period end, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs, collections and current conditions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes base rent on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred rent receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeded rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.
Capitalized below market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rents (see Note 5).
Capitalized above market lease values are amortized as a decrease to base rents (see Note 5).
The Company also receives reimbursements from tenants for certain costs as provided for in the lease agreements. These costs include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs in excess of a base year amount. The reimbursements are recognized when the tenants are billed.
Deferred income represents rent collected in advance of being due.
Deferred Ground Rents
Ground rent expense is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the ground leases. All future minimum increases in the non-cancelable ground rents consist of either 2.5% or 3% annual increases through May 1, 2068. This has resulted in deferred ground rent payable in the amount of $108,312,912 and $79,490,319 as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 7).
Lease Intangibles
Leasing costs and commissions incurred in connection with leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease.
Above and below market leases and above market ground lease values were recorded on the Property's reorganization date based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflected the risk associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and ground lease, and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases and ground lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012
(Amounts in US dollars)
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Lease Intangibles (continued)
Above market lease values are capitalized as an asset and amortized as a decrease to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The above market ground lease value is capitalized as a liability and amortized to ground rent expense over the remaining term of the ground lease. Below market lease values are capitalized as a liability and amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.
The aggregate value of in-place leases were measured based on the difference between (i) the Property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates, and (ii) the Property valued as if vacant, based upon management's estimates. Factors considered by management in their analysis included an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management included real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily were twelve months. Management also estimated costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. As of June 30, 2014, the remaining terms were ranging from three months to eleven years.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is necessary in the accompanying financial statements because the Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Income or loss of the Company is includible in the separate income tax returns of the Members. The Company performed a review for uncertainty in income tax positions in accordance with authoritative guidance. As of June 30, 2014, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company's tax returns after 2010 are open and subject to examination. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax laws and new authoritative rulings.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the December 30, 2010 acquisition of Metropolitan over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. In accordance with GAAP goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. Annual impairment tests are performed by either comparing a “reporting units” (in the Company’s case, the Company as a whole) estimated fair value to its carrying amount or by doing a qualitative assessment of a reporting units fair value from the last quantitative assessment to determine if there is a potential impairment. The fair value of the Company is an estimate of the amount of which the Company as a whole could be sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Generally, estimates of fair value are based on discounted cash flows.

(Amounts in US dollars)
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Goodwill (continued)
A qualitative assessment may be done when the results of the previous quantitative test indicated the reporting unit’s estimated fair value was significantly in excess of the carrying value of its net assets and we do not believe there have been significant changes in the reporting unit’s operations that would significantly decrease its estimated fair value or significantly increase its net assets. Management has selected the end of the Company’s fiscal year as the date on which to either perform its annual impairment tests for goodwill or make the determination as to whether qualitative factors render it unnecessary. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, as of the date of the impairment tests, no impairment of goodwill was identified.
