Basis of consolidation

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

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

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

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

The following table shows the data concerning the corporate control:


	DIRECT OR INDIRECT % OF CAPITAL		DIRECT OR INDIRECT % OF VOTING SHARES
COMPANIES	March 31, 2005	June 30, 2004	March 31, 2005	June 30, 2004

(1)

In accordance with Technical Pronouncement No. 21 adopted by the Company during the year ended on June 30, 2004, the Company started to consolidate this subsidiary on a line-by-line basis, taking into account other indicators that must be analyzed to determine whether control exists. The financial statements presented in comparative form were restated accordingly.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Contd.)

NOTE 1: (Continued)

Acquisition and consolidation of related companies

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

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

For purchase details, see Note 27.

NOTE 2: CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION

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

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

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

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Contd.)

NOTE 2: (Continued)

Comparative information

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

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

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

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1, have been prepared on a consistent basis with those applied by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima. Note 1 to the basic financial statements details the most significant accounting policies. Below are the most relevant accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries, which are not included in that note.

Shares of Banco Hipotecario S.A.

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

Revenue recognition

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

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

NOTE 3: (Continued)

(Continued)

•

Leases and services from shopping center operations

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

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

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

Administration fees are recognized monthly when earned. In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged “admission rights”, that tenants may be required to pay upon entering into a lease and upon lease renewal. Admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. Admission rights are recognized using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements. Furthermore, the lease agreements generally provide for the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, advertising and certain common area maintenance costs. These additional rents and tenant reimbursements are accounted for on the accrual basis.

NOTE 3: (Continued)

(Continued)

•

Credit card operations

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

•

Hotel operations

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

Intangible assets, net

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

•

Trademarks

Trademarks include the expenses and fees related to their registration.

•

Pre-operating expenses

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

•

Property development expenses

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

Goodwill

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

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

and subsidiaries

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Contd.)

NOTE 3: (Continued)

(Continued)

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

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

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

NOTE 4: SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

A general description of each segment follows:

•

Development and sale of properties

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

•

Office and other non-shopping center rental properties

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

•

Shopping centers

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

•

Hotel operations

This segment includes the operating results of the Company’s hotels principally comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.

and subsidiaries

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Contd.)

NOTE 4: (Continued)

•

Financial operations and others

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

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

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

NOTE 15: RESTRICTED ASSETS

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

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

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

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

NOTE 15: (Continued)

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

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

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

NOTE 16: TARSHOP CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLE SECURITIZACION

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

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

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

NOTE 21: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Interest rate swaps

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

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

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

Options and future contracts to purchase metals

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

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

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

NOTE 25: (Continued)

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

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

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

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

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

At March 31, 2005 the deed implementing the changes in the Company’s by-laws had been signed before Public Notary; approval by the enforcement agencies is currently pending.

Simultaneously with the purchase-sale of the shares of Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I., Alto Palermo S.A. entered into the following contracts:

•

Put option with Banco de Chile, whereby the latter was entitled, although not obliged, to assign a mortgage loan agreement to Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) originally granted to Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I. amounting to US$ 15.5 million and a credit line fully disbursed to that company amounting to US$ 2.5 million; Perez Cuesta S.A.C.I. had failed to comply with its payment obligations.

The loans are secured by the assignment in guarantee of rental payments to be made by Falabella S.A. to Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I..

The documentation was notarized on March 30, 2005 by which Banco de Chile transferred all the mortgage rights to Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) and the latter acquired the credit for US$ 8.5 million. Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) plans to capitalize this loan.

The loan is secured through the assignment in guarantee of rental payments to be made by Angulo Hermanos S.A. and Garbarino S.A..

On March 29, 2005 Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) transferred the purchase option entered into with HSBC Bank Argentina S.A. to Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I for the same value as originally agreed and on the same day Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I. exercised the option, paying Ps. 6.1 million for the settlement of the loan, (corresponding to the exercise price of Ps. 7.2 million, net of the premium paid of Ps. 0.7 million and rental fees collected by HSBC Bank Argentina S.A. amounting to Ps. 0.4 million).

•

Agreement with Inversiones Falabella Argentina S.A. establishing as the following:

Capitalization terms were agreed in the event that Alto Palermo S.A. or one of its subsidiaries is assigned the loan from Banco de Chile or other bank loan and propose its capitalization through Company’s contributions.

Upon maturity of the lease agreement currently in force between Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I. and Inversiones Falabella, Alto Palermo S.A. will provide for the granting of an option to the latter for the renewal of the contract under the same terms as the current contract, with certain changes expressly established in the contract in force.

Amounts expressed in thousand

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

1.1.

Preparation and presentation of financial statements

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

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

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

1.2.

Issuance of new technical pronouncement

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

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

NOTE 1: (Continued)

1.3.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Estimates are used when accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies. Future actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions prepared at the date of these unaudited financial statements.

1.4.

Recognition of the effects of inflation

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

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

1.5.

Comparative information

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

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

NOTE 1: (Continued)

1.6.

Valuation criteria

Cash and banks

Cash on hand has been valued at face value.

Foreign currency assets and liabilities

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

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

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

Short-term investments

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

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

Trade receivables and accounts payable

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

Financial receivables and payables

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

Notes to the unaudited financial statements (Continued)

NOTE 1: (Continued)

1.6.

(Contd.)

Other receivables and payables

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

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

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

Credits in kind:

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

Liabilities in kind:

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

(Contd.)

Inventory

A property is classified as available for sale upon determination by the Board of Directors that the property is to be marketed for sale in the normal course of business over the next several years.

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

Properties held for sale are classified as current or non-current based on the estimated date of sale and the time at which the related receivable is expected to be collected by the Company.

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

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

Long -term investments

•

Investments in debt securities:

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

Investments in shares of subsidiaries and related companies:

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

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

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

•

Certificates of participation in IRSA I financial trust:

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

Undeveloped parcels of lands:

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

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

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

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

Fixed assets

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

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

•

Rental properties

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

The Company capitalizes interest on long-term construction projects. No interest costs were capitalized during the reported periods.

At March 31, 2005 the Company maintains allowances for impairment of certain rental property, totaling Ps. 12,850 as mentioned in exhibit A.

•

Software obtained or developed for internal use

The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with the development of computer software for internal use. Costs capitalized during the period ended March 31, 2005 and the year ended June 30, 2004 were not material.

These costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 3 years.

•

Other properties and equipment

Other property and equipment properties are carried at cost, adjusted for inflation as mentioned in Note 1.4., less accumulated depreciation. Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as specified below:


Asset		Estimated useful life (years)
Leasehold improvements		On contract basis
Furniture and fixtures		5
Computer equipment		3
Vehicles		5

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

Deferred financing cost

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

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

Customer advances

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

Income tax

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

To determine deferred assets and liabilities, the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of reversal or use has been applied to timing differences identified and tax loss carryforwards, considering the legal regulations approved at the date of issuance of these unaudited financial statements.

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

Asset Tax

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

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

Allowances and Provisions

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

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

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

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

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

Shareholders’ equity accounts

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

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

Results for the period

The results for the period are shown as follows:

Income accounts are shown in currency of the month to which they correspond.

Charges for assets consumed (fixed asset depreciation, intangible asset amortization and cost of sales) were determined based on the values recorded for such assets.

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

Advertising expenses

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

Pension information

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

Derivative financial instruments

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

Revenue recognition

u.1. Sales of properties

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

•

the sale has been consummated;

•

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

•

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

•

the Company has transferred the property to the buyer.

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

u.2. Leases

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

Cash and cash equivalents

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

NOTE 12: CONVERTIBLE NEGOTIABLE OBLIGATIONS

On March 8, 2002, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders resolved:

Approving the issuance of Negotiable Obligations Convertible into Ordinary Shares of the company (“ONC”) for up to a face value of US$100,000 (one hundred million dollars), for a term of 5 (five) years, at a fixed interest rate of 6% to 12% per annum, payable half-periodly in arrears.

Approving a subscription option for the ONC holders to subscribe ordinary shares of the company at 1 (one) share per Ps.1 (one peso) of ONC face value, paying in cash Ps.1 (pesos one) as subscription price, during 15 (fifteen) days after the conversion term has expired, including the corresponding capital increase.

Suppressing the preferential subscription and accretion rights, or reducing the term to exercise the preference, as provided by section 12 of the Negotiable Obligations Law and other applicable regulations.

Amending article nine (9) of the bylaws to partially adapt its contents to the market circumstances arising from the amendment approved, by replacing 1) the 20% percentage referred to in the amendment to the bylaws, by the percentage indicated in Decree 677/01, i.e., 35%; and 2) eliminating the negotiable obligations or other convertible debt securities, as well as the warrants, from the calculation mentioned in Article Nine of the Bylaws.

The public offering and listing of the above-mentioned negotiable obligations was approved by Resolution No. 14316 of the National Securities Commission dated September 24, 2002 and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, authorizing the issuance for up to US$ 100,000 of securities consisting of negotiable obligations convertible for ordinary shares, bearing interest at an annual rate of 8% and falling due in 2007 and which, at the time of their conversion, provide the right to options to subscribe 100,000,000 ordinary shares (warrants).

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

The holder is entitled to exchange each Negotiable Obligation issued by IRSA for 1,8347 shares (0,1835 GDS) and has an option to purchase the same number of shares at the exercise price set for the Warrant.

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

On March 31, 2005, holders of Convertible Negotiable Obligations had exercised their right to convert them for a total of US$ 36.6 million, giving rise to the issuance of 67,187,135 ordinary shares of Ps. 1 face value each as disclosed in Note 10.

Furthermore, at March 31, 2005, options to subscribe Company shares amounting to US$ 38.7 million had been exercised, giving rise to the issuance of 59,186,118, ordinary shares of Ps. 1 par value each, as mentioned in Note 10.

The total amount of Convertible Negotiable Obligations at March 31, 2005 is US$ 63,383.

6.	Brief comment on the outlook for the coming year.

See attached.

Comments on operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005

In the first quarter of 2005 activity levels kept growing, consolidating the upward trend of 2004. The GDP projected for this quarter reflects an unseasonalized growth of 1.5% to 1.8% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. This pace of growth continues to be good, although it is lower than the outstanding quarterly growth rates recorded in the second half of 2004.

The acceleration in the inflation rate during the first quarter of 2005, which escalated to 4% from January to March, aroused concern in the government and forced the Central Bank to implement a phased currency adjustment, flashing a warning sign on the markets in the sense that efforts are being made to prevent a major escalade in prices. These actions became effective in the month of April, when inflation rose 0.5%, showing a significant decrease from the 1.5% rise of March.

The Argentine government’s sovereign debt exchange offer had very good results, with a level of creditor acceptance of 76.07%. The government thus achieved a debt haircut of 65.2% in terms of net present value, surpassing any other debt restructuring processes worldwide. Although the delivery of the new bonds is still conditioned to the ruling of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, there are high chances of obtaining a decision favorable to the Argentine position. This major breakthrough is an opportunity to further strengthen economic expansion and could serve to capitalize substantial achievements hand in hand with increased investments.

The rate of confidence in the Government has continued to recover, rising 0.1 points during the quarter as compared to the previous quarter, mainly driven by the successful sovereign debt exchange.

The consumer confidence rate (CCR), that measures the consumers’ “mood” regarding short and medium term purchase decisions grew 4.29% in March as compared to the previous month, reaching 58.4 points. In addition, in this quarter it experienced an unseasonalized growth of 5.2 points as compared to the previous quarter. This ratio shows that domestic consumption continued to grow during this quarter. Despite the slowdown in the rate of sales, there was a slight increase in this quarter as compared to the same quarter of 2004. As concerns shopping centers, activity levels remained high, with a year-on-year change of 17.5%, that translates into our business results.

The construction industry grew 3.4% during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period of the previous year, although it shows signs of stagnation for the first time in two years. The largest investments are made in private residential projects in large urban centers and other high-scale industrial and commercial projects. On the other hand, for the first time since the crisis of 2001, in January 2005 mortgage loan renewals exceeded repaid amounts. These are very positive signs taking into account the Company’s real estate business, which arouse promising prospects.

The hotel segment, and five star hotels in particular, was recently favored by the increase in the number of tourists with high purchasing power. As concerns the office segment, vacancy levels continue to decrease, reaching the lowest rates in the last six years.

For 2005, the economy is expected to feature an average growth in the whereabouts of 7%¹ and inflation rate would range from 8 to 11%.

In this context, net results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 showed a Ps.78.2 million profit as compared to a Ps.45.2 million profit recorded in the same period of fiscal year 2004. This income may be explained as follows:

Revenues increased by 46.3% or Ps.86 million, from Ps. 185.8 million as of March 31, 2004 to Ps.271.9 million as of March 31, 2005, reflecting (i) an increase of Ps.58.2 million in the shopping center segment; (ii) an increase of Ps.11.4 million in sales and developments; (iii) an increase of Ps.13.7 million in the hotel segment; and (iv) an increase of Ps.2.7 million in the offices and other rental properties segment.

The increase in revenues favorably impacted on our operating income, which stood at Ps.85.1 million as of March 31, 2005 compared to Ps.38.7 million as of March 31, 2004, representing a 119.9% increase. Operating income over total revenues stood at 31.3% in this nine-month period compared to 20.8% in the same period of the previous year.

Financial results recorded a loss of Ps.3.3 million compared to a profit of Ps.50.4 million as of March 31, 2004. The difference is mainly explained by the lower results from financial transactions, which decreased from a profit of Ps.84 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 to a profit of Ps.26.6 million in this fiscal year. This significant variation is explained by the change in the method of recording our investment in Banco Hipotecario, since during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Company valued its interest in Banco Hipotecario at the share’s market value, which had showed a significant increase during that period. In addition, financing expenses have improved, descending from a loss of Ps.46.2 million in the nine-month period of 2004 to a loss of Ps.40.6 million in the same period of 2005.

Finally, results for this quarter have been boosted by higher income from our subsidiaries, which recovered from a loss of Ps.13.1 million as of March 31, 2004 to an income of Ps.58.7 million in this period. This increase is mainly explained by the income generated by our holding in Banco Hipotecario S.A. which has been recorded according to its proportional equity value in this period whereas in the previous period it was recorded at market value and therefore any appreciation was included in financial results.

Third quarter of fiscal year 2005 highlights, including significant operations occurred after the end of the period.

I. Offices and other Rental Properties

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2005, income from rental properties totaled Ps.13.7 million, up from Ps.10.9 million in the same period of fiscal year 2004.

Occupancy of our office buildings continued to experience a material recovery, reaching 89% during the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 as compared to 78% in the first nine months of the previous fiscal year.

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

The following information relates to data extracted from the balance sheet of Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), the company that operates our shopping centers, in which we had a 60.7% interest as of March 31, 2005.

APSA’s net income for the nine-month period was Ps.21.2 million, Ps. 16.4 million higher than the Ps.4.8 million income recorded in the same period of the previous year. This increase mainly reflects its higher operating income, which rose 98.6% to Ps.64.6 million as of March 31, 2005 from Ps.32.5 million as of March 31, 2004.

Total revenues as of March 31, 2005, were Ps.161.7 million, 56.4% higher than the Ps.103.4 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. This increase mainly reflects the excellent sales momentum of our shopping centers and the results of our continued efforts to improve our performance, which allows us to adjust renewed leases and increase basic rental

charges to our lessees. In addition, revenues from our subsidiary Tarshop S.A. doubled, from Ps.21.5 million to Ps.43.6 million. Gross profit for the period increased by 88.9%, from Ps.52.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 to Ps.99.4 million during the same period of fiscal year 2005.

In the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Company continued to consolidate the efforts made since the Argentine crisis, attaining significant results compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. The increase in operating income is particularly noteworthy, as it reflects the Company’s successful genuine business performance supported by the growth in sales and consumption. In addition, we continue developing the Alto Rosario project, increasing the number of stores and expanding even more the wide range of services offered to our customers.

Another salient aspect of this period was the successful debt restructuring that allowed the Company to attain a more suitable financing structure at sensibly lower costs.

Besides, during this quarter we purchased and/or repaid Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I.’s financial indebtedness, most of which was in default prior to our taking over of the management of the shopping center. The improvement in Pérez Cuesta’s financial condition allows us to engage in several investment projects to refurbish the shopping center, which will result in higher revenues and increased sales.

Tenants’ sales have continued to grow to record levels, reaching Ps.1,225.5 million in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005, 31.5% higher than those recorded in the same period of the previous year.

The business success of our tenants continues to increase demand for space at our shopping centers. In this way, we have reached an occupancy rate of 99.1%, one of the highest levels in our history. The evolution of this variable not only shows an improvement in our business, but also the excellent quality of our shopping centers portfolio.

The current bonanza in the retail sector, combined the management actions taken to accompany growth, allow us to enter into new lease agreements under better conditions. We thus increased the goodwill charge (also known as “key money”) required for the renewal or execution of new agreements at our shopping centers and obtained higher profits from the variable component of our revenues.

Tarjeta Shopping

Tarshop S.A. is a credit card company in which The Company holds an 80% interest.

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005, Tarshop S.A. recorded an income of Ps.4.9 million, a 93.5% increase compared to an income of Ps.2.5 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.

Net revenues had a significant increase of 102.8%, from Ps.21.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 to Ps.43.6 million during this period. In addition, operating results increased 122.7% to Ps.7.5 million.

The credit portfolio including securitized coupons as of March 31, 2005 was Ps.169.2 million, compared to Ps.72.7 million as of March 31, 2004.

In the area of collections, short-term delinquency at March 31, 2005 has remained at the low levels recorded in the past quarters, reaching figures even lower than before the crisis. The three-month arrears was 2.65% as of March 31, 2005.

Restructuring of Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I.’s indebtedness

During this quarter we concluded the restructuring of Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I.’s financial indebtedness, most of which was in default prior to our taking over of the management of the shopping center.

On March 29, 2005, APSA assigned to Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I. the purchase option executed by APSA with HSBC Bank Argentina S.A. for the same amount as that paid by APSA, i.e., Ps.0.7 million. On the same day, Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I. exercised the option and fully discharged the loan by paying the sum of Ps.6.1 million.

In addition, on March 30, 2005, APSA purchased from Banco de Chile the claim held by this bank against Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I. in the amount of US$ 8.5 million, thus becoming creditor of Pérez Cuesta for such amount. APSA intends to capitalize this loan for its purchase value.

On January 7, 2005, Pérez Cuesta repaid the first US$ 0.2 MM installment under the debt acknowledgment executed between Pérez Cuesta and Inversiones Falabella Argentina S.A. The remaining balance is US$ 0.8 million, payable in three annual installments as from January 2006.

Finally, on January 26, 2005, Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I. repaid the debt it had with Banco de la Nación Argentina for Ps.3.2 million.

In order to repay these borrowings, APSA extended a Ps.11.5 million loan to Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I.

Opening of Alto Rosario Shopping

On April 12, 2005 the second stage of Alto Rosario Shopping was opened, which increased the number of stores to 141, in line with our strategy of offering the widest range of products and major brands.

The third stage of the project is expected to be opened in the beginning of June. This stage includes the opening of the Showcase cinemas, which will have 14 state-of-the-art movie screens and 3,400 seats.

The final stage is the opening of the Museo de los Niños children attraction that is expected to consolidate the Shopping Center’s commercial offer. The shopping center will thus reassure its offering of diversified proposals according to the needs of the public, top-quality entertainment areas, first-line services and public spaces. As in our other shopping centers, we will seek customer identification with our proposal.

III. Sales and Developments

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005, the sales and developments segment recorded revenues of Ps.28.3 million, compared to Ps.17.0 million in the same period of the previous year. The higher revenues in the sales and development segment mainly reflect the swap executed in connection with the lot in Dique 3, which generated revenues of Ps.23.6 million.

Edificios Dique 3. In September 2004 we executed a swap and option agreement with DYPSA (Desarrollos y Proyectos Sociedad Anónima) in connection with lots 1c and 1e of Dique III in Puerto Madero to build under their sole responsibility two residential buildings of 37 and 40 floors. Under this agreement, lot 1c was exchanged for 28.50% of the total square meters to be built in the first tower, and a swap option was granted with respect to a second lot for 31.50% of the square meters to be built in the second tower. These transactions are secured by mortgages for US$ 8.03 million and US$ 10.8 million, respectively. The second transaction will be conditioned to meeting the deadlines set for the work schedule of the first tower. In November 2004, lot 1c was swapped, at a profit of Ps. 15.8 MM. Both the work plan and subdivision plan of the first tower have been already registered with the relevant governmental agencies.

Cruceros, Dique 2. Pre-sale of this project started during this quarter, and we began to execute the first preliminary purchase agreements.

101

San Martín de Tours. Pre-sale of this project is expected to start during the third quarter of 2005.

Emprendimiento El Encuentro, Benavídez. Infrastructure works are making progress. The rising prices of lots in the Northern area, especially in the vicinity of the project, anticipate the success of this venture.

Abril, Hudson, Province of Buenos Aires. All projected neighborhoods are being marketed and 94% of the lots have already been sold. There are 694 completed houses, 180 houses are under construction and 44 projects have been submitted.

Below is a detail of property being developed by IRSA as of March 31, 2005.

IV. Hotels

Income from the hotel segment recorded a significant increase, from Ps.54.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004 to Ps.68.3 million in the same period of this fiscal year.

This result reflected both the increase in occupancy rates and average prices. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2005, the accumulated average occupancy rate in our hotels increased notably, reaching 79% as compared to 72% in the same period of the previous year. Rates also improved, with an average price per room of Ps.325 in this period as compared to Ps.279 in the previous period.

The substantial upsurge in the hotel industry in Argentina has encouraged us to increase our investments in this segment. Therefore, we have started construction of 42 suites in the Llao Llao hotel with a view to increasing its current capacity. Besides, the larger number of passengers that the hotel will accommodate once expansion works are completed has led us to start works for increasing the hotel’s infrastructure services. These expansion works and improvements will not only help increase occupancy but will also raise average prices.

Below is information on our hotels for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005.

APSA – Financial Debt. Since the beginning of this year, APSA has restructured a large portion of its financial debt, aligning maturities to our cash flow generation and obtaining substantial reductions in our financial cost.

On January 13, 2005, APSA repaid the balance of its class B-1 Ps. 120 million notes for Ps. 5.9 million, thus fully retiring these notes.

On March 4, 2005, APSA took a US$ 11 million loan from Deutsche Bank, US$ 5 million of which were repaid by APSA on April 4, 2005. The balance of US$ 6.0 million will be repaid in two equal installments due in February and August 2006. The agreed rate was Libor + 325 basis points. The proceeds of the loan were used to restructure Pérez Cuesta S.A.C.I.’s indebtedness.

On March 30, the swap agreement whereunder on April 1, 2005 we collected US$ 5.0 million plus interest accrued on the escrow deposit, expired.

On April 7, 2005, APSA retired the final Ps. 48.4 million balance under its 14.875% notes issued in 2000. For purposes of this retirement, APSA took a Ps.50 million-syndicated loan from two financial institutions. The loan is repayable in four half-yearly installments of Ps. 12.5 million each, to fall due as from October 2005. The agreed interest rate under this loan was 7.875% for the first year, and the interest rate for time deposits between Ps.100,000 and Ps.500,000, up to 59 days, reported by the Central Bank plus 3% for the second year.

The interest rate differential between the retired notes and the new loan reduces the Company’s annual financial cost by approximately Ps. 3.5 million.

After this restructuring, the company has no future principal maturities to face during the rest of the year.

VI. Brief comment on prospects for the next quarter

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 the economic expansion trends already observed throughout 2004 gained strength. In addition, the successful sovereign debt exchange paved the way for a more foreseeable economic environment that favors the materialization of future investments. The sustained growth of economic indicators and satisfactory business performance encourage us to continue developing new investment projects in the search for new business opportunities.

Regarding the shopping center segment, we plan to continue improving our wide variety of commercial proposals in accordance with our consumers’ needs and latest industry trends. We also continue to evaluate several new projects to take advantage of opportunities in the most densely populated cities of Argentina.

A landmark in this period was the successful restructuring of APSA’s debt, which allowed to attain a more suitable financing structure at a substantially lower cost to the Company, in anticipation of future developments.

In connection with the Alto Rosario project, after the opening of the second stage and having increased to 141 the number of stores, we will continue working towards finalizing the remaining stages of the project as scheduled.

On the other hand, hotels have continued to increase occupancy rates due to the larger number of tourists who visit our country. These favorable prospects have underpinned the development of new expansion works to increase capacity in the Llao Llao Hotel.

During the next quarter, we will continue making progress in the various developments we have started in order to complete works within the deadlines set. Finally, we will continue to evaluate the execution of different projects for developing our land reserves, as well as the purchase of new development lands at attractive prices to add value to our portfolio.

Limited Review Report

To the Shareholders, President and Board of Directors of

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

We have reviewed the balance sheet of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima at March 31, 2005, and the related statements of income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and the complementary notes 1 to 13 and exhibits A, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. Furthermore, we have reviewed the consolidated financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima with its subsidiaries for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, which are presented as supplementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

As described in Note 1.6.i. to the financial statements, as a result of the Company’s purchase of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and subsidiaries (BHSA) shares and the exercise of options (as further discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements), the Company changed its method of accounting for its investments in BHSA. Under the new accounting method, adopted as of June 30, 2004, the investments in BHSA are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The independent auditors’ report on the financial statements of BHSA as of March 31, 2005, dated May 5, 2005, includes an explanatory paragraph describing uncertainties which might affect BHSA. These uncertainties relate to the National government’s fulfillment of its obligations with BHSA represented by securities and other financing, and further the corresponding recoverable value of these assets held by BHSA. As of March 31, 2005, the investments in BHSA account for approximately 13% of the total basic assets and 9% of the total consolidated assets of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima. The future outcome of the uncertainties described before could have an adverse effect in the valuation of these investments.
