Pursuant to section o) of the Regulations aforementioned, we inform that as of year-end, the capital stock of the COMPANY is $357,266,448 – whose share structure is divided in 357,266,448 – nominative non-endorsable common shares of $1 par value each and each entitled to 1 vote, which are not held by controlling shareholders or groups.-

 

The principal shareholder of the Company is Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. with 77,848,141 shares, which represent 21.8% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.-

 

Furthermore, we inform that as of June 30, 2005, deducting Cresud’s holding, the other shareholders hold 279,418,307 nominative non-endorsable common shares of $1 par value each and each entitled to 1 vote, which are not within the group of principal shareholders, which represent 78.2% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.-

 

It is worth remembering here that in November 2002, the company issued convertible Notes that also have an option to purchase additional shares. In case that all the holders convert their notes, the number of shares would increase to 464,556,780 shares, and in case that the holders also


exercise their options, the number of shares would increase to 578,971,685. Considering its holding as of June 30, 2005, if Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. exercises the right to convert its IRSA notes as the rest of the holders, its holding would increase to 31.2%, namely 144,891,986 shares and if it exercises its options as the rest of the holders its holding would increase to 36.6%, namely 211,935,836 shares.

 

Below are the main results for the year:

 

    Net income for fiscal year 2005 was Ps. 103.2 million, a 17.5% higher than fiscal year 2004. Operating income increased 33.5%, from Ps. 105.8 million in fiscal year 2004 to Ps. 141.2 million in 2005.

 

    Average occupancy in our Class A buildings fully recovered throughout the year, reaching 97% compared to 87% in the previous year.

 

    Occupancy at our shopping centers reached 98.4%, while our tenants’ sales increased 33.4%.

 

    We increased our interest in Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A. to a 85.4% controlling stake. We also opened Alto Rosario, our ninth Shopping Center, located in the City of Rosario, province of Santa Fe.

 

    We made progress in the execution of various projects, such as Benavidez, Edificios Cruceros 1 and 2, San Martín de Tours, Torres Renoir in Dique 3 and the recent purchase of the Microsoft Building for office lease. In the future we plan to engage in other large-scale projects in Buenos Aires and the country’s interior.

 

    During fiscal year 2005, our financial debt decreased by US$ 28.5 million as a result of the conversion of Notes. Additionally, US$ 36.6 million were received as cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

 

    APSA restructured a significant portion of its financial debt, aligning maturities to cash flow generation and obtaining substantial reductions in the Company’s annual financial cost through the reduction in interest rates and extension in repayment terms.
