LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,

The past fiscal year has been a great one, mainly due to the fine results derived from the Shopping Center segment and the good performance of the Real Estate sector in Argentina. Our management has continued to show its high skills and experience, consolidating an inimitable Real Estate asset portfolio. Likewise, it has adopted innovating actions, achieving optimum management and operating results.

During 2010 and 2011, the Argentine economy has been on a solid growth track: fiscal indicators have continued to reflect external and internal strength and the demand for Argentine exports has maintained its attractive levels. This trend translated into a stable growth pattern in private consumption which, accompanied by an appreciation in the peso real exchange rate, favorably impacted on our segments exposed to this variable. On the one hand, in the Shopping Center segment our business model and our strong and enduring relationship with our tenants was benefited by this macroeconomic scenario. In addition, the Office segment has shown robust lease pricing and occupancy figures, and finally, the Hotel segment has consolidated its recovery thanks to the increase in tourist inflow and spending.

The Argentine real estate sector continues to show the strength that has characterized it during the last years, mainly because the industry has garnered investments from both individuals and corporations, who consider real estate to be a good value reserve in light of the markets’ volatility. Therefore, we have continued to observe a sustained demand and firm prices.

We believe that there is still potential for a higher growth in prices, as in Argentina the vast majority of properties are free from indebtedness. This is reflected by the Argentine macroeconomic figures: the stock of mortgages accounts for less than 2% of the Argentine GDP. Besides, there is a nationwide deficit of more than 3.5 million houses. For this reason, if the mortgage market regains momentum, we expect a higher demand that will lead to increased industry activity, resulting in higher prices.

The past fiscal year has been witness to significant developments in our Company. Out of these, the most important one was the consummation of the acquisition of the 29.6% stake held in APSA by our former partner Parque Arauco. At present, we control 94.9% of APSA, the leading company in the Argentine shopping center industry. We believe that this has been one of the transactions that will deliver the greatest value to our shareholders, given that the acquisition was made for a consideration of USD 126 million.

During this fiscal year, the Shopping Center segment (through APSA) posted noteworthy results, in line with those recorded in the past years: our tenants’ sales reached ARS 7,766.3 million, increasing by 34.4%; we maintained an occupancy rate of 97.6% and revenues from this segment stood at ARS 674.8 million (30% higher than in the previous fiscal year). EBITDA from this segment reached ARS 517.7 million, whereas the EBITDA/revenue margin was close to 76.7%.

In the beginning of this fiscal year we started to manage our twelfth Shopping Center, Soleil, located in the surroundings of the City of Buenos Aires. In operating this property our management has shown its vast experience and operating capacity, as may be seen by the significant improvement in results achieved after one year of operations, during which our tenants’ invoicing exceeded ARS 200 million. On the other hand, in the next fiscal year we plan to restyle this Shopping Center, seeking to optimize its tenant mix and position it as the first premium outlet in Argentina.

We have recently acquired a 50% interest in Nuevo Puerto de Santa Fe S. A., concessionaire of a building in the City of Santa Fe where it operates a Shopping Center known as “La Ribera”. This transaction adds a 13th shopping center to our portfolio, encompassing 8,000 sqm of gross leaseable area. We believe that this is a new opportunity for our management to capitalize on its leadership and track record of more than 15 years in this industry.

We have made headway in the development of a new shopping center in the City of Neuquén which we expect to become leader in the Patagonia, as it is located in one of the most populated and wealthiest cities in that region. In addition, we are making progress in our “Arcos del Gourmet” project located in the neighborhood of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires. We aspire that these new proposals will achieve the success of our latest development, DOT Baires. This Shopping Center, opened in May 2009 and the largest in the City of Buenos Aires, has become one of the major assets in our portfolio, ranking fourth in terms of tenant sales and consolidating as an industry icon. Our tenants’ sales in this Shopping Center exceeded ARS 985 million during fiscal year 2011, maintaining an occupancy rate of 99.7%.

Table of Contents

The Shopping Center segment is our main business and where we expect to continue expanding our current portfolio. We have reserves for future developments in the City of Paraná, the City of Tucumán and the neighborhood of Caballito, City of Buenos Aires. In addition, in various of our shopping centers we have the chance to increase their footage. We are studying the best timing for launching these and other new projects. Above all, we have a management team whose vision is focused on the growth and development of this industry.

We stand out for having the most attractive premium office portfolio in the City of Buenos Aires. This segment recorded an occupancy rate of 90.9% and an average lease price close to USD 24.4 per sqm. Therefore, during fiscal year 2011, it posted revenues for ARS 164.6 million (7% higher than in the past year), an EBITDA of ARS 109.4 million and an EBITDA margin of 66.4%. The performance of our new venture, “DOT Building” has been noteworthy, as it reached an occupancy rate of 86%, and 100% occupancy by the beginning of fiscal year 2012. We continue to be significant developers in this segment, thus we have started the development project of a new premium office building in the neighborhood of Catalinas, which we expect to lease at a very good price upon its completion, given its design and location.

The Hotel segment has shown a healthy recovery in 2011, recording stable results, with total revenues for ARS 192.9 million (21% increase) and an EBITDA of ARS 26.5 million. A positive trend has been noted in foreign and local tourist inflow in Argentina, and we expect this segment to keep up its satisfactory results.

Our Sales and Developments segment has reported an EBITDA of ARS 85.2 million. During this fiscal year we made greater focus on residential development activities instead of focusing on the sale of non-strategic offices, as we had done during the previous year. Our “Horizons” project, which we are developing jointly with Cyrela Brazil Realty, has started to yield revenues, as we are now surrendering possession of its units. This project was a sales boom at the moment it was launched, and at present it has achieved high performance levels. In addition, we have increased the sales of units in our “Caballito Nuevo” project, more than 81% of which has been sold, and in the “El Encuentro” suburban development.

We have also entered into two barter agreements with TGLT (a company in which our subsidiary APSA holds an equity interest of 8.86%), one in respect of the “Terreno Caballito” plot and the other, through APSA, in respect of the “Terreno Beruti” plot, in exchange for which we will obtain a percentage of the apartment units and parking spaces to be built upon completion of the projects.

As concerns the sale of land reserves, we have completed the sale of plots of land adjoining the Alto Rosario shopping center, thus capitalizing the appreciation of this area that resulted from this development. Therefore, we sold (through APSA) 4 parcels adjacent to the development “Torres Rosario”.

As concerns our latest acquisitions, we acquired the entire stake in the company that is owner of the lands intended for the development of a future urban project in Carrasco, close to Montevideo, Republic of Uruguay. In addition, we purchased a 160,000 sqm meter plot in the district of San Martín, Buenos Aires, in the surroundings of the City of Buenos Aires, that was formerly owned by Nobleza Picardo, intended to be used for mixed purposes.

Part of our portfolio includes different land reserves in the City of Buenos Aires and other cities in Argentina. Although not directly reflected in our balance sheet, this real estate asset portfolio benefits from the upsurge in real property prices experienced in the Argentine market. We believe that both the quality of our assets and their development potential protect us in an inflationary context, apart from being a significant value reserve.

As part of the consolidation of our business lines, APSA consummated the sale of 80% of Tarshop S.A. to Banco Hipotecario S.A. (BHSA). Therefore, Tarshop’s successful consumer finance business will be backed by one of the largest banks in Argentina, in which we held an equity interest close to 29.77% at year-end. We believe that, in Banco Hipotecario’s hands, Tarshop will have the executive and financial capacity required to conduct its business.

Table of Contents

As regards our ownership interest in BHSA, it has favorably impacted on our results, contributing ARS 76.7 million in income during the fiscal year. Banco Hipotecario maintains high solvency levels and has continued to grow in the segment of non-mortgage financial products and services, with a rise in the number of deposits used for funding and an improvement in its portfolio loan profile; in this respect, the acquisition of 80% of Tarshop S.A. is framed within its strategy for diversifying its financial services.

The volatility prevailing in the international context has offered to us opportunities for acquiring or developing real estate assets outside Argentina which we have analyzed and, when they were attractive, acted upon them. We believe that the know-how in real estate gained over the past years and our experience in managing our portfolio in volatility contexts will allow us to successfully overcome any challenges that may arise. We strive for selective investments that serve as hedges against future inflation whilst simultaneously involving top-quality assets at appealing prices or with capital structures fit for optimization.

In this respect, during fiscal year 2010, we, together with certain affiliates, acquired an interest in Hersha Hospitality Trust, a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). During this fiscal year we slightly reduced our interest to 9.2%. In this regard, the investment in Hersha has resulted in a gain of ARS 56.7 million during this fiscal year.

Also in line with this strategy we acquired, through certain subsidiaries, an ownership interest in two office buildings in the City of Manhattan, located at 183 Madison Avenue and 885 Third Avenue (known as the “Lipstick Building”). These assets were undergoing sensitive indebtedness situations that were favorably resolved thanks to the Company’s know-how. The Lipstick Building’s debt was restructured and reduced by more than USD 120 million. Following this transaction and after having invested USD 15 million, IRSA now holds a 49% equity interest in the company that is owner of the building. On the other hand, we acquired 49% of the building located at 183 Madison.

We would like to note that IRSA paid dividends to its shareholders again in accordance with the agreed policy, for a total of ARS 100 million, or ARS 1.73 per outstanding GDS. Moreover, at the beginning of this fiscal year IRSA issued debt in the international market for an amount of USD 150 million subject to a 10-year term. This represented the first purely Argentine corporate issuance to have reopened the long-term market after the international financial crisis.

In the light of the robust cash generation that the Company has been exhibiting, the quality of its assets, its experience in tapping market opportunities and its franchise for accessing international markets, we are confident that we are on the right path towards the consolidation of Argentina’s best real estate portfolio.

In this respect, IRSA has not only placed a firm stake on the direction taken by its businesses investing close to USD 500 million over the past three years, but has also maintained its commitment to the community through several dissemination and awareness-raising campaigns about care for natural resources and adequate waste treatment for recycling.

The contribution to the resolution of problems related to education, health and environment are part of our company’s long term concerns. This is taken into consideration and integrated into our company strategy formulation.

During the past year, we have worked together with suppliers through a program known as “Valor” (Value), executed with AMIA and Endeavor. On the other hand, we have executed diverse actions in our shopping malls in order to generate awareness about care for natural resources and social consciousness (“Hour of the Planet”, “Environment Week”, “Tapitómetros”) and general awareness actions (“Programa La Compañía”, “Campaña Te Abrigo”, campaigns against Breast Cancer, Transit Education, “Proyecto Sumando”)

Also, through the IRSA foundation, we have endorsed the Puerta 18 Project, a free-of-charge, extra-curricular space, for youths in the 13 to 18 age range who wish to develop technological and artistic skills through participation in web-design, digital animation, photography, music and video production and edition workshops, among other offerings. These initiatives aim to enable our businesses to be sustainable over the long-term.

MACROECONOMIC CONTEXT

International Outlook

The global economy has continued its recovery after the 2008 financial crisis. According to International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) data, in the year 2010, the world’s Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) rose 5.1% and accumulated an annualized growth of 4.3% in the first quarter of 2011, reversing the unprecedented contraction recorded in 2009. GDP in the most developed markets increased 3% in 2010, whereas in the developing countries’ markets, it soared 7.3%.

During 2010 and the first six months of 2011 showed a significant recovery compared to 2009. International financial markets were favored by corporate profits. Stock prices in emerging Asia, Latin America and the United States regained their values prior to the crisis. At global level, the MSCI All Countries index picked up a 10.42% change when measured in US Dollars; the MSCI World (representative of developed markets) posted a 9.55% variation whilst the MSCI Emerging Markets rose 16.36%. Furthermore, it must be highlighted that performance at the level of developing countries was higher than in the developed world. In this connection, performance at the local market levels also picked up the trend (in U.S. dollars). The S&P500 rose by 10.66%; the FTSE 100 by 4.68%, and the Nikkei by 9.42%, while the Bovespa rose by 2.43% and Argentina’s Merval rose by 41.83%.

The IMF’s projections show that the economic activity will drop slightly during the second quarter of 2011 and will resume growth during the second half of the year. According to the IMF, global output is set to grow at an annualized rate of 4.3% throughout 2011. However, regional disparities continue as the forecasts for the developed economies and for the developing economies are 2.2% and 6.6% respectively. It seems that during the first half of 2011, the financial markets did not show such an encouraging outlook as in 2010. The MSCI All Countries varied by 2.69%, the MSCI World by 3.36% and the MSCI Emerging Markets varied by -1.49%.

According to the IMF, inflation at the global level was 3.5% in 2010, 1.2 bp higher than in 2009. In line with the growth rate observed, inflation in the emerging markets was 6.2%, higher than the one recorded in developed countries, which stood at 1.6%.

During the past year and the first 6 months of 2011, the commodities market recorded rises in most raw materials. The GSCI All Metals Industrial index shows that metal prices rose 16.73% in 2010 and 2.1% in 2011. The price of energy, as measured by the GSCI Energy index, increased 1.91% in 2010 and climbed 8.15% in 2011. Finally, the GSCI Agriculture saw strong increases in the prices of agricultural commodities, which went up by 34.19% in 2010, although these figures evaporated in 2011, as agricultural commodity prices fell by 5.54%.

During this fiscal year, the markets were adversely affected by doubts on the sustainability of the debt of most peripheral European countries and their difficulties in implementing the fiscal tightening programs required. The PIGs credit default swaps increased substantially, and concerns arose again regarding the vulnerability of the banks in developed Europe, given their significant debt holdings of peripheral countries. In turn, the United States is having difficulties in finding a solution for its public account deficit, which accounts for 10% of its GDP, and an indebtedness that reached the USD 14.3 billion ceiling imposed by Congress.

The Argentine Economy

Given this international context, the Argentine GDP has resumed the strong growth path that was interrupted in 2009, showing an increase of 9.2% in 2010, according to the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Censuses (“INDEC”). In the year to date, the same positive trend in the level of activity is noted. For the first 6 months of 2011, the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator” EMAE”, usually used to predict the GDP, rose 8.9% compared to the same month in the previous fiscal year, with an upward trend.

Table of Contents

During 2010, Consumption has continued to be the main component in the aggregate demand, accounting for 65% of the GDP. In this regard, private consumption recorded an annual growth of 9% while public consumption grew 9.2% (according to the Ministry of Economy).

Private sector analysts and pundits disagree over the measurement criteria that make up INDEC’s Consumer Price Index. Therefore, inflation figures do not show a reliable accuracy level. According to INDEC statistics, the Consumer Price Index for Greater Buenos Aires, which measures price variations in the City of Buenos Aires and in Greater Buenos Aires, inflation in 2010 was approximately 10.9%, recording a considerable increase in beef of 39%, followed by clothes, up by 15%, and education, up by 12%. As regards wholesale prices, in 2010 there was a 14.56% variation in the Wholesale Internal Price Index (“IPIM”), a 15.67% variation in the Wholesale Internal Basic Price Index (“IPIB”), and a 16.04% variation in the Basic Price for Producers Index (“IPP”).

On the other hand, as reported by private sector sources, the Consumer Price Index published by Estudio Broda (which combines the FIEL Consumer Price Index, the Buenos Aires Consumer Price Index and the combined Consumer Price Index for 7 provinces whose statistical agencies do not share the official criterion), the average pricing level of the economy increased 22.5% in 2010 compared to the previous year. This figure is almost twice as big as that unveiled by the official statistics.

As concerns 2011, the INDEC’s measurements show that accumulated inflation for the first 6 months is in the whereabouts of 5.5%. In turn, Estudio Broda’s measurements suggest an annualized inflation rate of 23%.

In connection with the labor market, in 2010 the unemployment rate was reduced to 7% of the active population, compared to 8% in 2009. On the salary side, the average salary in the Argentine economy accumulated a 26.2% raise in 2010, way above the official figures for retail inflation and in line with private sector inflation estimates. According to the INDEC’s salary index, the accumulated increase in the first half of 2011 was 13.5%.

Argentina’s external sector showed during 2010 a surplus trade balance, with exports for USD 81.3 billion and imports for USD 67.9 billion according to official data. During the first quarter of 2011, the trade surplus decreased, as imports grew at higher rates than exports.

When it comes to public finances, according to the Ministry of Economy, the primary result for the Public Sector for the year 2010 was ARS 25,115 million. This stands for a 45.2% rise compared to the year 2009.

During fiscal year 2010, the indebtedness/GDP ratio was reduced from 48.8% to 45.8%. In addition, Argentina’s country risk as measured by its five-year Credit Default Swap (“CDS”) for senior USD -denominated indebtedness continues to exhibit a spread that is high when compared to the most solid countries in the region, Brazil and Chile. The volatility that affected the financial markets caused by the emergence of debt problems in peripheral European countries and discussions on the United States’ debt ceiling triggered a substantial increase in the surcharge Argentina pays for its debt, which stood at 630 points as of July 2011, compared to Brazil’s 114 points and Mexico’s 111 points. The difference between the CDS in Argentina and Brazil and/or Mexico compared to performance before the financial crisis is still high.

In the local financial markets the rate of private bank deposits at 30 days remained stable, showing a slight increase from 9.31% as of June 2010 to levels close to 9.83% for June 2011. In turn, the Private Badlar rate in pesos increased from 10.14% to 11.23%.

Following the normalization in international financial conditions, the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) has continued with its progressive devaluation and reserve accumulation policy. The foreign exchange rate depreciated by 4.6% in the period June 2010 through June 2011 and reserves rose by USD 2,758 million, being close to USD 52 billion. This level is higher than that previous to the financial crisis of 2009.

During 2010, the multilateral real exchange rate was also affected by the difference between the depreciation of the Peso against the basket of currencies that make it up and the inflation sustained by the Argentine economy. There was a 3.9% appreciation, a percentage that has been deflated by INDEC’s CPI, because the figures as released by private sources point to an even higher real appreciation. The Peso/U.S. Dollar real exchange rate experienced a 4.5% appreciation, whereas the Peso depreciated 3.3% vis-à-vis the Brazilian currency.

According to official data, Fixed Internal Gross Investment (“IBIF”), measured in real terms, was in the region of 21% of GDP for 2010 with the following distribution: 10.15% for the durable goods sector and 10.85% for the construction sector.

The use of industrial installed capacity was 76.7% in June 2011, a stable figure compared to the level posted in the same month of 2010. The sectors that benefited the most were tobacco products and the mechanic steel industry (excluding the car-making sector). Despite the rise in the general level of activity, there were sectors with unfavorable performance, such as the printing and publishing sectors.

Our Segments

The rates of growth in the construction industry remained in excess of 10% on an year-on-year basis. According to INDEC’s Summary Construction Activities Indicator (ISAC, as per the initials in Spanish), the construction industry posted 10.2% growth in the first half of 2011, compared to a year earlier and gained momentum in the second quarter, reaching 11% y-o-y growth in the second quarter. In the year to date, the construction industry has grown at a rate higher than in 2010 and 2009. In the first half of 2009, the sector’s activity had shrunk by 2.6% y-o-y due to the international financial crisis whilst in the first half of 2010 it had grown at a 9.8% rate y-o-y.

Table of Contents

The captions that were at the forefront in terms of growth in the construction industry for 2011 were the oil-related works, which grew by 15.4% year on year in the first six months of the year, followed by infrastructure works (13.4%), road works (12.5%) and homes (9.5%) together with other residential projects (11%), all of them, for the first half of 2011. This notwithstanding, all the captions in the sector contributed to the increase, to a lesser or larger extent, with no major deviations from the median.

As regards the surface area covered by the permits granted for construction works, it spanned 3.51 million square meters in the first half of the year. Compared to the first half of 2010, there was a 6% increase in the number of permits granted, indicative of an improvement against the year-on-year drops of 12.6% and 17.6% seen in the first halves of 2010 and 2009.

When it comes to the residential market, the level of activity exhibited outstanding performance in 2010 and in the first six months of 2011 with the prices going hand in hand with such growth, due in part to the reliance placed on investments in property to safeguard value. However, in recent months the market has been closely watching the run-up to the upcoming October elections. Hence, due to the expectations of an increase in the US Dollar/Peso exchange rate by the end of 2012, a part of the demand considers it best to keep its US Dollars on hand for the time being.

Although the threshold sales prices of high-end apartments located in traditionally exclusive areas have been the same or slightly higher than a year earlier, the ceiling prices have risen by almost 20%.

The Shopping Centers sector has exhibited major sales growth in the first half of 2011. Shopping Centers’ turnover benefitted greatly from the expansion that is being perceived in consumption amidst a context of high inflation in which wages outgrow retail prices. Based on the information released by INDEC, sales during fiscal 2011 rose by 35% compared to fiscal 2010, boosted by the good mood amongst consumers and the tangible improvements in household nominal income.

Most retail offerings exhibited outstanding dynamics in that month. The principal increases were in “Food Courts and Food”, “Apparel” and in “Entertainment and Leisure”, with increases in excess of 30%.

Economic indicators pointed to favorable performance in fiscal 2011, which ensured good sales performance in Shopping Centers. Forecasts for 2011 are favorable, which augurs well for the Company’s business in so far as the level of economic activity, consumption and inflation accompanied by salary raises are the main propellers of sales in the Company’s Shopping Centers.

As regards the Hotels sector, the Argentine Secretariat of Tourism reported that 5,287,850 tourists had arrived in Argentina during 2010, representative of a significant 22.8% increase compared to 2009, when 4,292,326 tourists had arrived. The future outlook is positive, as supported by an overall good regional performance with the forecast being that by 2012 there will be more than twice as many tourists as those recorded in 2002. There has also been an increase in tourism associated with meetings and congresses, which has already placed the country amongst the twenty top preferred venues in the world.

By nationality, the ranking of tourists visiting Argentina is led by our Brazilian neighbors who consider that the appreciation of the Reais affords them an opportunity to increase consumption in Argentina. The number of tourists coming from Europe and the USA, affected to varying degrees by the economic hurdles in their home countries has decreased sensibly and our exchange rate is no longer appealing to them.

Shopping centers

We are engaged in purchasing, developing and managing shopping centers through our subsidiary, Alto Palermo S.A. (“APSA”) (“Alto Palermo”). Alto Palermo operates and owns majority interests in twelve shopping centers in Argentina, eight of which are located in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, and the other four are located in the Provinces of Mendoza, Santa Fé, Córdoba and Salta. APSA has recently started to operate, through a concession, its 13th Shopping Center in the Province of Santa Fe. Our Shopping center segment had assets of ARS 1,934.3 million as of June 30, 2010 and ARS 2,238.5 million as of June 30, 2011, representing 34.3% and 35.4%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of ARS 268.0 million and ARS 385.1 million during our 2010 and 2011 fiscal years respectively, representing 49.6% and 65.8%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.

Consumer Finance

We have developed a consumer finance business through our subsidiaries, Tarshop S.A. (“Tarshop”) and Metroshop S.A. (“Metroshop”). As of fiscal year-end, we had sold 80% of our interest in Tarshop to Banco Hipotecario and we had a majority equity interest in Metroshop. Tarshop and Metroshop’s credit card operations consist primarily of lending and servicing activities relating to the credit card products we offer to consumers at shopping centers, hypermarkets and street stores. A substantial part of our credit card advances is financed through securitization of the receivables underlying the accounts originated. Our revenues from credit card operations are derived from interest income generated by financing and lending activities, merchants’ fees, insurance charges for life and disability insurance, and fees for data processing and other services. As from September 1, 2010, Tarshop was deconsolidated from our financial statements, leaving a marginal activity in this segment. The Consumer Finance segment had assets of ARS 327.3 million as of June 30, 2010 and ARS 48.7 million as of June 30, 2011, which represented 5.8% and 0.8%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated an operating income of ARS 53.3 million and ARS 19.0 million for our 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively, representing 9.9% and 3.2%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.

Development and Sale of Properties

Our activity of sale of and office buildings and land reserves is reflected in this segment.

The acquisition and development of residential apartment complexes and other residential communities for sale is another of our core activities. Our development of residential apartment complexes consists of the construction of high-rise towers or the conversion and renovation of existing structures, such as factories and warehouses. For the development of residential communities in general, we acquire vacant land, develop infrastructure such as roads, utilities and common areas, and sell plots of land for construction of single-family homes. Our Development and sale of properties segment had assets of ARS 657.6 million as of June 30, 2010 and ARS 712.5 million as of June 30, 2011, representing 11.7% and 11.3%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of ARS 139.5 million and ARS 85.1 million during our 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively, representing 25.8% and 14.5%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.

Office buildings

As of June 30, 2011, we directly and indirectly owned a majority interest in 11 office buildings and other non-shopping center rental properties in Argentina that in the aggregate represented 327,838 square meters of gross leaseable area. Our Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segment had assets of ARS 1,088.8 million as of June 30, 2010 and ARS 1,412.6 million as of June 30, 2011, representing 19.3% and 22.4%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of ARS 73.5 million and ARS 84.1 million during our 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively, representing 13.6% and 14.4%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.

Hotels

We own a 50% equity interest in Hotel Llao Llao, located in the outskirts of Bariloche, and a 76.34% equity interest in the Hotel Intercontinental in the City of Buenos Aires and an 80% equity interest in Hotel Sheraton Libertador in Buenos Aires. Our Hotels segment had assets of ARS 248.3 million as of June 30, 2010 and ARS 239.5 million as of June 30, 2011, representing 4.4% and 3.8%, respectively, of our consolidated assets at such dates, and generated operating income of ARS 5.4 million and ARS 12.2 million during our 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, representing 1.0% and 2.1%, respectively, of our consolidated operating income for such years.

Banco Hipotecario

During fiscal year 2011, we continued to increase our interest in Banco Hipotecario, reaching to a 29.77% investment, held in the form of Class D shares, which are currently entitled to three votes per share, affording us, as of this fiscal year end, a right to 46.46% of the total votes that can be cast at Banco Hipotecario’s shareholders’ meetings. As of June 30, 2011, our investment in Banco Hipotecario represented 14.5% of our consolidated assets, and during our fiscal years ended June 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011, this investment generated income for ARS 142.1 million, ARS 151.6 million and ARS 76.7 million, respectively.

Business Strategy

As a leading company in Argentina dedicated to acquiring, developing and managing real estate, we seek to (i) generate stable cash flows through the operation of our real estate rental assets (shopping centers, office buildings, hotels), (ii) achieve long-term appreciation of our asset portfolio by taking advantage of development opportunities, and (iii) increase the productivity of our land reserves and enhance the margins of our Development and sale of properties segment through partnerships with other developers.

Shopping centers.

Our main purpose is to maximize our shareholders’ profitability. By using our know-how in the shopping center industry in Argentina as well as our leading position, we seek to generate a sustainable growth of cash flow and to increase the long-term value of our real estate assets.

We attempt to take advantage of the unsatisfied supply in different urban areas of the region, as well as of our customers’ purchase experience. Therefore, we seek to develop new shopping centers in urban areas with attractive prospects of growth, including Buenos Aires’ Metropolitan area, some cities in the provinces of Argentine and possibly, other places abroad. To achieve this strategy, the close business relationship we have had for years with more than 1000 retail companies and trademarks composing our selected group of tenants is of utmost importance, as it allows us to offer an adequate mix of tenants for each particular case.

Development and Sale of Properties.

We seek to purchase undeveloped properties in densely-populated areas and build apartment complexes offering “greenspace” for recreational activities. We also seek to develop residential communities by acquiring undeveloped properties with convenient access to the City of 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 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.

Office buildings.

Since the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and 2002, there has been limited investment in high-quality office buildings in Buenos Aires and, as a result, we believe there is currently substantial demand for those desirable office spaces. We seek to purchase and develop premium office buildings in strategically-located business districts in the City of Buenos Aires and other strategic locations that we believe offer return 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 consider on a selective basis new opportunities to acquire or construct new rental office buildings.

Table of Contents

Hotels.

We believe our portfolio of three luxury hotels is positioned to take advantage of future growth in tourism and business travel in Argentina. We seek to continue with our strategy to invest in high-quality properties which are operated by leading international hotel companies to capitalize on their operating experience and international reputation.

Banco Hipotecario.

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 GDP and as a result, our investment in Banco Hipotecario is interesting in the long term.

Land reserves.

We seek to continue to acquire undeveloped land at locations we consider attractive inside and outside Buenos Aires. In each case, our intention is to purchase land with significant development or appreciation potential for subsequent sale. 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 the past, we have made significant real estate investments outside of Argentina, including investments in Brazil Realty S.A. in Brazil and Fondo de Valores Inmobiliarios in Venezuela which we disposed of in 2002 and 2001, respectively. We have recently acquired through our subsidiary, in which we hold a 49% equity interest, an office building located at Madison Avenue in the City of New York, we also have a 49% interest in a US company, whose main asset is the so-called “Lipstick” office building located in the City of New York. In addition, jointly with subsidiaries, we acquired and then partially sold equity interests in a Real Estate Investment Trust, called Hersha (NYSE: HT), which holds a controlling interest in 78 hotels in the United States, totaling around 10,400 rooms as of June 30, 2011, we currently hold 9.2% of such company’s aggregate capital stock. We seek to continue to evaluate on a selective basis real estate investment opportunities outside Argentina as long as they offer investment and development attractive opportunities.

Description of Operations

Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties

We are engaged in the acquisition, development and management of Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties in Argentina. As of June 30, 2011, we directly and indirectly owned interests in 22 office and other rental properties in Argentina, which comprised 327,838 square meters of gross leaseable area. Of these properties, 15 were office properties, which comprised 150,860 square meters of gross leaseable area. For fiscal year 2011, we had revenues from Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties of ARS 164.6 million.

All our office rental property in Argentina is located in Buenos Aires City. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the average occupancy rate for all our properties in the Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segment was approximately 85.0%. Seven different tenants accounted for approximately 43.0% of our total revenues from office rentals for fiscal year 2011: Exxon Mobile Business, Price Waterhouse, Grupo Total Austral, Apache Energía Argentina, Grupo Danone Argentina, Sibille S.C. (KPMG) and Microsoft de Argentina S.A.

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 contracted to third party providers. The cost of the services are 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 leaseable space is marketed through commissioned brokers, the media and directly by us.

Leases.

We lease our offices and other 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.

Shopping Centers

We are engaged in purchasing, developing and managing shopping centers through our subsidiary, Alto Palermo. As of June 30, 2011, Alto Palermo operated and owned majority interests in twelve shopping centers, six of which are located in the City of Buenos Aires (Abasto, Paseo Alcorta, Alto Palermo, Patio Bullrich, Buenos Aires Design and Dot Baires Shopping), two of which are located in the greater Buenos Aires (Alto Avellaneda and Soleil Factory) metropolitan area and the other four of which are located in the Argentine provinces: Alto Noa in the City of Salta, Alto Rosario in the City of Rosario, Mendoza Plaza in the City of Mendoza and Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera in the City of Córdoba.

As of June 30, 2011, we owned 94.9% of Alto Palermo. The remaining shares are held by the investor public and traded on the Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires and the related GDSs are listed and traded on the Nasdaq National Market (USA) under the symbol “APSA.” In addition, as of June 30, 2011, we owned USD31.7 million of Alto Palermo’s convertible notes due July 2014. If we, and all the other holders of such convertible Notes were to exercise their options to convert the convertible notes into shares of Alto Palermo’s common stock, our shareholding in Alto Palermo would increase to 97.5% of its fully diluted capital.

As of June 30, 2011, Alto Palermo’s shopping centers comprised a total of 299,326 square meters of gross leaseable area (excluding certain space occupied by hypermarkets which are not Alto Palermo’s tenants). For fiscal period 2011, the average occupancy rate of Alto Palermo’s shopping center portfolio was approximately 97.3%.

As a result of our acquisition of several shopping centers, we centralized management of our shopping centers in Alto Palermo, which is responsible for providing common area electrical power, a main telephone switchboard, central air conditioning and other basic common area services.

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.

Leaseable space in Alto Palermo’s shopping centers is marketed through an exclusive arrangement with its real estate brokers, Fibesa S.A. (“Fibesa”) and Comercializadora Los Altos S.A. (merged with Fibesa S.A. as of July 1, 2009). Alto Palermo has a standard lease agreement, the terms and conditions of which are described below, which we use 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 8% 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 12% 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 the event of litigation, no assurance can be given that Alto Palermo may be able to enforce such clauses contained in its lease agreements.

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 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 attendance 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 our 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 and 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 our fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, revenues from our Development and sale of properties segment were ARS 341.1 million, compared to ARS 225.6 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

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.

Residential Apartments and Lofts

In the apartment building market, we acquire undeveloped properties strategically located in densely populated areas of the City of Buenos Aires, particularly properties located next to shopping centers and hypermarkets or those to be constructed. We then develop multi-building high-rise complexes targeting the middle-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.

Completed Apartment Projects

Apartment Projects Currently Under Development

Torre Caballito, City of Buenos Aires. This property, with a surface of 8,404 square meters, is situated in the northern area of Caballito’s residential neighborhood in the City of Buenos Aires. On May 4, 2006, IRSA and KOAD S.A. (“KOAD”), an Argentine developer, entered into an asset exchange agreement valued at USD7.5 million pursuant to which sold to Koad plot number 36 of “Terrenos de Caballito” whereby KOAD S.A. has agreed to develop a residential complex called “Caballito Nuevo”, at its costs, consisting of two 34-story towers containing 220 apartments each, consisting of one, two and three bedroom residential units with surface areas ranging from 40 to 85 sqm, totaling approximately 28,000 saleable sqm. The project offers a wide variety of amenities and services. As a result of this transaction, Koad delivered to IRSA 118 apartments and 61 parking lots in the first tower, representing 25% of the total square meters for sale. As of June 30, 2011, 82% of the apartments and 86% of the parking lots were sold and 21 apartments and 14 parking spaces are still pending sale.

Horizons Project, Vicente López, Olivos, Province of Buenos Aires. In January, 2007, we acquired the total shares of Rummaala S.A., the main asset of which is a plot of land located in Vicente Lopez, Province of Buenos Aires. The purchase price was USD21.17 million, payable as follows: (i) USD4.25 million in cash and (ii) through the delivery of certain units of the building to be constructed in the land owned by Rummaala in the amount of USD16.92 million, within a 4-year term as from the later of the approval date of the plans by the competent authorities or the date on which the property is vacated. As security for compliance with the construction of the future building and transfer of the future units, the shares acquired were pledged.

Simultaneously with the former transaction, Rummaala acquired a plot of land adjacent to its own property for a total purchase price of USD15.0 million, payable as follows: (i) USD0.5 million in cash; (ii) through the delivery of certain units of buildings Cruceros I and II in the amount of USD1.25 million and (iii) trough the delivery of certain units of the building to be constructed in the land acquired for a total purchase price of USD13.25 million, within a 40-month term as from the later of the approval date of the plans by the competent authorities or the date on which the property is vacated. As security for compliance with the construction of the future building and transfer of the future units, the property located at Suipacha 652 was mortgaged.

In April 2007, we created CYRSA S.A. (“CYRSA”) in order to have a corporate vehicle to facilitate the development of a specific project together with one or more investors having in-depth knowledge and

vast experience in the industry. To that end, we contributed 100% of the capital stock in Rummaala S.A. and the debt in kind associated to the acquisition of the land to CYRSA for a net amount of $ 21.5 million, whereas CYRELA contributed $ 21.5 million (an amount equivalent to the value of the shares that we contributed).

We entered into an agreement with Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Partiçipacões for the development of residential projects in the Republic of Argentina through CYRSA, which will operate under the name of IRSA - CYRELA.

IRSA-CYRELA’s development project in this plot made up by two adjacent blocks in the Vicente López neighborhood, was launched in March under the name “Horizons”. It is one of the most significant developments in Greater Buenos Aires, which entailed a new concept in residential complexes given its emphasis on the use of common spaces. This project includes two complexes with a total of six buildings; one of them facing the river with three 14-floor buildings (the “River” complex) and the other on Avenida del Libertador with three 17-floor buildings (the “Park” complex), totaling 59,000 sqm of constructed surface area for sale distributed in 467 units (to the exclusion of the units to be delivered in exchange for the acquisition of land). With its unique and innovating style in residential complexes, Horizons has 32 amenities, including a meeting room; a work zone; indoor swimming pools; club house and spa, sauna, gym, children room, teen room; theme-park areas; and aerobic trail, to name but a few. The showroom was opened to the public in March 2008 with immediate success.

As of June 30, 2011, preliminary sales agreements had been executed for 100% of our own units on sale. The Towers located in the “River” block are completed and the title deeds of its units are being executed. Delivery of the untis will be completed during fiscal year 2012. In the “Park” block, completion of the last tower is expected to occur soon and delivery of the relevant units is scheduled to take place during fiscal year 2012. The results have started to be reflected as the works progress, consolidated at 50%.

Private Residential Communities

In the residential communities market, we acquire undeveloped properties located in suburban areas or neighborhoods near the large cities to develop private neighborhoods and country clubs in which to sell vacant lots for the construction of single family homes. In these properties we build streets and roads and arrange for the provision of basic municipal services and amenities such as open spaces, sports facilities and security. We seek to capitalize on improvements in transportation and communication around the City of Buenos Aires, the growing suburbanization of the region and the shift of the population moving to countryside-type residential communities.

An important factor in the trend towards living in suburban areas has been the improvements and additions to the Autopista Panamericana, Avenida General Paz and Acceso Oeste highways, which significantly reduce traveling time, encouraging a significant number of families to move to the new residential neighborhoods. Furthermore, improvements in public train, subway and bus transportation since their privatization has also influenced the trend to adopt this lifestyle.

As of June 30, 2011, our residential communities for the construction of single-family homes for sale in Argentina had a total of 7,422 square meters of saleable area in Abril, and 45,705 sqm of saleable area in “El Encuentro” (Benavidez). Both residential communities are located in the province of Buenos Aires.

Abril, Hudson, Greater Buenos Aires. Abril is a 312-hectare private residential community located near Hudson City, approximately 34 kilometers south of the City of Buenos Aires. We have developed this property into a private residential community for the construction of single family homes targeting the upper-middle income market. The project includes 20 neighborhoods subdivided into 1,273 lots of approximately 1,107 square meters each. Abril also includes an 18-hole golf course, 130 hectares of woodlands, a 4,000-square meter mansion and entertainment facilities. A bilingual school, horse stables and sports centers and the construction of the shopping center were concluded in 1999. The neighborhoods have been completed, and as of June 30, 2011, 99.5% of the property had been sold for an aggregate of ARS 238.7 million, with 7,422 square meters available for sale.

El Encuentro, Benavidez, Tigre. In the district of Benavidez, Municipality of Tigre, 35 kilometers north from downtown Buenos Aires, a 110-hectare gated residential complex known as “El Encuentro” is located, consisting of a total of 527 lots with a total saleable area of 610,785.15 sqm with two privileged front accesses: the main one to Vía Bancalari and the service one to Highway No. 9, allowing an easy way to and from the city. On May 21, 2004 an exchange deed was signed for the original lot whereby DEESA agreed to pay USD 4.0 million to our subsidiary Inversora Bolívar, of which USD 1.0 million were paid in

cash and the balance of USD3.0 million was paid on December 22, 2009, with the transfer of 110 residential plots already chosen, totaling a saleable area of 127,795 sqm. The development of the project is completed and equipped with power supply, water, sewage, effluent treatment plant, public lighting, finished driveways and accesses, buildings, sports facilities, etc.

As of June 30, 2011, after having started its commercialization in March 2010, 64 units have been sold and there are portfolio reserves for 8 additional units for an amount of USD 0.89 million, and 38 units are available for sale.

Land Reserves

We have acquired large undeveloped properties as land reserves located in strategic areas for the future development of office and apartment buildings, shopping centers and single family housing. We have acquired what we believe to be two of the largest and most important undeveloped river front plots in Buenos Aires, Puerto Retiro and Santa María del Plata, for the future development of residential and office spaces. In addition, we have benefited from the improvement of land values during periods of economic growth. As of June 30, 2011, our land reserves totaled 25 properties consisting of approximately 2,160 hectares (including the lot in Caballito, and the air space over Coto C.I.C.S.A. - “Coto”- where we hold interests through our subsidiary Alto Palermo).

Land Reserves in the City of Buenos Aires

Solares de Santa Maria, City of Buenos Aires, (formerly Santa María del Plata). 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 Buenos Aires. Through our subsidiary Solares de Santa María S.A. (“Solares de Santa María”) we are owners of this property. We intend to develop this property for mixed purposes, i.e. our development project involves residential complexes as well as offices, stores, hotels, sports and sailing clubs, services areas with schools, supermarkets and parking lots.

As part of the project, we had sold 10% of Solares de Santa María capital stock for USD10.6 million to Mr. Israel Sutton Dabbah, who is part of the Sutton Group. An initial payment of USD1.5 million was made and the balance of USD9.1 million was due on December 23, 2009. In order to secure his obligations under the share purchase agreement, the buyer created a pledge on certain assets owned by it for our and our subsidiary, Palermo Invest S.A.’s benefit.

On the first days of September 2010, and after the end of fiscal year 2010, we acquired (through E-commerce Latina S.A.) a 100% interest in Unicity for the sum of USD 2.5 million. The main asset of Unicity includes 31,491,932 shares representative of 10% of Solares de Santa María S.A.’s stock capital and pursuant to which it holds liabilities with IRSA for the purchase price balance, which as of even date amounts to USD 9.1 million.

In 1997 we acquired the site which the National Executive Branch had assigned to be the Olympic village of the Olympic Games in case Buenos Aires was chosen as host city to hold the Olympic Games. A rule passed by the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires in 1992, provided general urban standards to the site, and stated that the “Site urban design” was to be submitted for approval of the Environmental Urban Plan Council (Consejo de Planificación Urbana - “COPUA”). As from the acquisition of this property, we have been seeking the municipal approvals necessary for the development of a mixed project in the area.

In the year 2000, we filed a master plan for the Santa María del Plata site, which was assessed by COPUA 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 June 2007, we sold 10% of the capital stock of Solares de Santa María for the amount of USD 10.6 million to Mr. Israel Sutton Dabbah, an unrelated third party, who is affiliated to the Sutton Group. USD 1.6 million of the purchase price were paid and the balance of USD 9.0 million will be paid on June 23, 2010.

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 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 that has the referred decree for the company, alternatively, Agreement 5/10 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.

We own a 50% indirect interest in Puerto Retiro through our subsidiary Inversora Bolívar.

This restructuring took place on December 30, 2010. On such date, a principal payment of USD 15.0 million (previously contributed by IRSA) was made under the new restructured mortgage debt, reducing it from USD 130.0 million to USD 115.0 million.

Following such closing, IRSA indirectly holds 49% of New Lipstick LLC, a holding company that is owner of Metropolitan, and under the scope of these agreements, it cancelled the put option for 50% of the equity interest initially acquired.

The Lipstick Building is a landmark building in the City of New York, located on Third Avenue and 53rd Street in Midtown-Manhattan, New York. It was designed by architects John Burgee and Philip Johnson (Glass House and Seagram Buildings among other remarkable works) and its name is due to its original elliptic form and the redish color of its façade. Its gross leaseable area is around 57,500 sqm distributed in 34 stories.

As of June 30, 2011, this building had an occupancy rate over 89% generating average revenues above USD 60.0 per sqm per month.

At present, works are being carried out in the 26th floor of the building for the construction of 4 “turn key” offices designed by the renowned architecture firm Gensler. Those spaces are being sold and completion is expected to take place by the end of 2011. There is also a project in charge of the firm Moed de Armas & Shannon to remodel the interior and exterior of the Lobby while preserving its original style.

Investment in Hersha Hospitality Trust

On August 4, 2009, through Real Estate Investment Group L.P. (“REIG”), a company indirectly controlled and managed by our Company, together with other minority investors, we acquired 5.7 million common shares of Hersha, a leading company in the hotels segment in the United States, for a total purchase price of USD 14.3 million. Accessorily to the initial acquisition of our equity interest in Hersha, we has an option to buy up to 5.7 million additional common shares in Hersha at a price of USD 3.00 per share exercisable at any time prior to July 31, 2014 subject to certain conditions. In addition, as a part of the investment agreements, our Board Chairman and CEO, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, was appointed member of the board of directors of Hersha.

In January 2010, we acquired 4.8 million additional shares for a total price of USD 14.4 million, increasing our stake in Hersha to 10.3%. In turn, on March 24, 2010, Hersha resolved upon a capital increase whereby it issued 27,600,000 Class A common shares. In connection with this increase we exercised our preemptive subscription rights granted under the initial transaction and acquired 3,864,000 additional Class A common shares for a price per share of USD 4.25, for a total amount of USD 16.4 million. In October 2010, under the scope of the new issue of capital, we acquired 2,952,625 Class A common shares, at a price per share of USD 5.8 for a total amount of USD 17.1 million. Then, during this fiscal period, we sold a total of 2,542,379 Class A common shares, at a weighted average price of USD 5.63 for a total amount of USD 14.3 million. Therefore, as of June 30, 2011, our interest in Hersha amounted to 9.2%.

Hersha is a REIT traded in the New York Stock Exchange, under the “HT” ticker. Hersha’s investments are mainly in upscale, mid-scale and extended stay hotels located in business hubs, urban and retail centers and secondary tourist destinations and markets mainly along the US Northeast as well as in some select niches in the US West coast. Hersha chooses its acquisitions in locations that it perceives as booming markets and relies on intensive management to create and enhance long-term value added.

As of June 30, 2011, Hersha’s portfolio of hotels comprises majority stakes in 63 hotels and ownership interests in a further 15 hotels through joint ventures. These hotels are all within the “select service” and “upscale hotels” categories. In the aggregate, Hersha’s 78 hotels represent over 10,443 rooms and are located in Arizona, California, North Carolina, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia. The properties are operated under highly prestigious, leading franchises (such as Marriott (r), Courtyard by Marriott (r),

Hersha also operates some of its hotels through independent boutique hotel chains.

Building located at 183 Madison Avenue, New York, NY

In December 2010, IRSA, through Rigby 183 LLC (“Rigby 183”), in which it indirectly holds a 49% stake through IMadison LLC (“IMadison”), jointly with other partners, acquired a building located at 183 Madison Avenue, Midtown South, Manhattan, New York. This area involves famous and prominent buildings such as, the Empire State Building, the Macy’s Herald Square, and the Madison Square Garden and it also has one of the largest office and store markets, excellent means of transport, restaurants, stores and entertainment options.

The purchased property consists of a pre-war building built in 1925 designed by the architecture firm Warren & Wetmore (the same that designed the Grand Central Terminal of New York).It has 19 office stories for rent and a store on its Ground Floor. The net leaseable area is approximately 23,200 sqm, 3,523 sqm of which correspond to retail storesand 19,677 sqm are offices.

The total purchase price was USD 98 million (USD 4,224 per leaseable sqm) composed of USD 48 million of principal (IMadison contributed USD 23.5 million), USD 40 millon under a loan granted by M&T Bank at a rate of 5.01% per annum due in 5 years and a loan for USD 10 million to carry out the capex and prebuilds program.

As of June 30, 2011, the building’s occupancy rate was over 63% and generated average revenues above USD 35 per sqm. During this period, works have been carried out to remodel the building’s common areas and also to construct “turn key” offices in the ninth floor. The remodeling program is expected to be fully completed by the end of the year.

Competition

Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties

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, shopping malls, 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 developed and 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.

Development and sale of properties

A large number of companies are currently competing with us in the development and sale of properties in Argentina, as this segment is highly fragmented. In addition, there is a substantial supply of comparable properties in the vicinity of our developed properties which may adversely affect our ability to sell our developed properties at prices that generate a positive return on our investment.

Hotels

We own three luxury hotels in Argentina which are managed through strategic alliances by international operators including Sheraton Overseas Management Corporation, Intercontinental Hotels Corporation and the local operator Compañía de Servicios Hoteleros S.A. which manages the Hotel Alvear. The Hotel Llao Llao is unique for its landscape and beauty, and our other two hotels, Hotel Intercontinental and Hotel Sheraton Libertador, are located in the City of Buenos Aires. We compete with many other leading luxury hotels in the City of Buenos Aires including, among others: Abasto Plaza, Alvear Palace, Caesar Park, Claridge, Emperador, Feir’s Park, Four Seasons, Hilton, Loi Suites, Marriot Plaza, Meliá, NH City, Panamericano, Sheraton, Sofitel, Madero, MayFlower, Etoile, Faena, and Regal Pacific.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

These events took place subsequent to our year-end date, June 30, 2011:

La Ribera Shopping – Santa Fe

APSA Centros Comerciales acquired 50% of Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A.’s shares, a corporation that is tenant of a building in which La Ribera Shopping was built and currently operates, located at Dique I of the Santa Fe City’s Port. As it is a building under a concession agreement, the purchase of shares of Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. was subject to the condition that the Santa Fe Port Administration Office approved the change in the company’s shareholding and that the Santa Fe’s Lottery Retirement Fund (Caja de Previsión Social Lotería de Santa Fé) did not challenge it. The execution date of the documents was 06/15/2011 and the final execution including the referred approval occurred during August 2011.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the fiscal years ended on such dates should be read in conjunction with our “Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”.

Variability of Results

Income derived from the lease of office space and retail stores and sales of properties are two core sources of income. The historical results of our Company’s operations have varied over different periods based on the prevailing opportunities in connection with the sale of properties. No assurance can be given that our results will not continue to be influenced by the periodical sale of properties.

Consolidation

We have consolidated our Balance Sheets, Income and Cash Flow statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 line by line with the financial statements of our controlled companies in accordance with the procedure set forth in Technical Resolution No. 21 of the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (“F.A.C.P.C.E.”), approved by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (“CPCECABA”) and the Comisión Nacional de Valores (Argentine Securities Commission). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made from the financial statements as of June 30, 2010 originally released for purposes of their comparison with the figures as of June 30, 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared in constant currency, recognizing the overall effects of inflation until August 31, 1995. From that date to December 31, 2001, the financial statements’ restatement was discontinued due to the existence of a monetary stability period. From January 1, 2002 to February 28, 2003, the effects of inflation were recognized due to the existence of an inflationary period. Inflation accounting was again discontinued as from that date.

This criterion represents a departure from the generally accepted accounting principles, which required that the financial statements be restated up to September 30, 2003. However, due to low inflation rates during the period from March to September 2003, this departure did not have a material effect on the financial statements taken as a whole.

The index used for the restatement of accounts was the wholesale domestic price index published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census.

IFRS Implementation Plan: Progress Report

On April 29, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a specific plan for implementing the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)1. In conformity with the planned schedule, the

 

1  The International Organization of Securities Commissions (“IOSCO”) has recommended that the entities that sell their securities through public offering should adopt the IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) in the preparation and presentation of their financial statements. Against this backdrop, the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”) General Resolution No. 562 imposed on the companies subject to its oversight a duty to adopt the IFRS as they foster consistency in financial statement preparation and help attract foreign and local investors.

Company is set to start training its own accounting and tax area personnel and that of its subsidiaries and related companies. The Company expects to have completed the training during fiscal year 2011. Besides, as it was expected, works are being carried out in connection with the process to prepare an initial diagnosis of the differences between standards.

Having monitored the specific plan for implementing the IFRS, our Board has not become aware of any circumstance calling for changes in the plan and/or hinting at any potential deviation from the stipulated objectives and terms.

Revenue Recognition

We primarily derive our revenues from Argentina-based office space and shopping center rentals and operation, development and sale of residential properties, consumer finance operations and Hotels. This section reflects our revenue recognition policies and those of our controlled and jointly-controlled subsidiaries.

Development and sale of properties. We recognize income from the sale of properties when all the criteria listed below are met:

 

   

the sale has been consummated (sales are not considered to have been consummated until (i) the parties are bound by the terms of an agreement, (ii) all valuable considerations have been exchanged, (iii) any permanent financing to be granted by the seller has been agreed upon, and (iv) all the conditions previous to the closing of the deal have been met);

 

   

we have determined that the initial and continued investment by the buyer is adequate evidence of a commitment to pay for the property (the adequacy of a buyer’s initial investment is measured based on (i) its components and (ii) its size compared to the price of the property);

 

   

we have a receivable not subject to future subordination (our receivable shall not occupy a rank, class or position junior to the remaining liabilities of the buyer) and

 

   

we have transferred to the buyer the risks and benefits inherent in ownership and we no longer hold a continued ownership interest over the property.

We generally enter into purchase and sale agreements with purchasers of units in our residential development properties prior to the commencement of construction. Pursuant to this practice, we initiate our marketing and sales efforts on the basis of already-commissioned architectural designs and model units. As a general rule, purchasers pay a booking charge for the units and subsequently enter into fixed price purchase and sale agreements. The balance of the purchase price is due upon delivery of the constructed and completed unit.

Construction of such residential development properties is done pursuant to “turn-key” contracts with major Argentine and South American construction companies that provide for construction to be completed within a prescribed period and budget, subject to customary exceptions.

We use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting with respect to sales of development properties under construction effected under fixed-priced contracts. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs applied to the total contract price. It is not until construction works have been significantly commenced and the down payments received are substantial as per our own parameters that we recognize revenues.

Table of Contents

The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires management to prepare budgeted costs (i.e., the estimated costs of completion) in connection with sales of properties and/or units. All changes to estimated costs of completion are incorporated into revised estimates during the contract period.

Under this method of accounting, revenues for work completed may be recognized in the statement of income prior to the period in which actual cash proceeds from the sale are received. In this situation, a deferred asset is recorded. Alternatively, and as is more common for us, where property and/or unit purchasers pay us an advance down-payment and monthly cash installments prior to the commencement of construction, a liability is recorded. This is recorded as a customer advance in the financial statements.

Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties leases and services. We account for our leases with tenants as operating leases. We charge tenants a base rent on a monthly basis. We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases and unpaid leases are included in the receivables account from sales, leases and services in the financial statements.

Shopping center operations, leases and services. We account for our leases with tenants as operating leases. We generally charge 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 (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, the tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 12% each year during the term of the lease. Mininum rental income is accounted for on an accrual basis.

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. We determine the compliance with specific targets and calculate the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided for in the contracts. Thus, contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.

In general, our 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 that range from one to one and a half month 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.

We also charge our tenants a monthly administration fee, prorated among the tenants according to the amounts established in their leases, which vary 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 entirety of the shopping centers operations. We recognize administration fees monthly as they accrue. In addition to rent, we generally charge tenants admission rights that they may be required to pay upon entering into a lease or upon lease renewal. An admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. We recognize admission rights using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements.

We also derive revenues from parking lot fees charged to visitors. We recognize parking revenues as services are performed.

Table of Contents

In addition, we act as lease agents by contacting potential tenants of available spaces in our shopping centers. As a result, we principally obtain revenues from fees charged by us for the execution of lease agreements, which are calculated as a percentage of rental income and admission rights. This income is accounted for at the time of successful conclusion of the transaction.

Consumer finance operations. We derive revenues from consumer finance transactions with credit cards which primarily are comprised of (i) merchant discount fees which are recognized when transactional information is received and processed by us; (ii) data processing services which consist of processing and printing cardholders account statements, and which are recognized as services are provided; (iii) life and disability insurance charges to cardholders which are recognized on an accrual basis and (iv) income from interest arising from financing and loan activities.

Hotels. We recognize revenues from room service, catering services, and restaurant as earned on the close of each business day.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Allocation of expenses and other income to business segments

Allocation of selling expenses to business segments.

Selling expenses directly attributable to the Shopping centers, Consumer finance and Hotels segments are allocated to these business units. These expenses are incurred individually by each segment. All other selling expenses are allocated respectively to the remaining segments according to which segment has specifically incurred each expense.

Allocation of administrative expenses to business segments.

Administrative expenses directly attributable to the Shopping centers, Consumer finance and Hotels segments are allocated to these segments. These expenses are incurred individually by these segments. All other administrative expenses are prorated among the Development and sale of properties segment and the Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segments based on the percentage of the operating assets and revenues generated by each segment. Accordingly, 47.2% and 52.8% of administrative expenses (excluding expenses directly attributable to the Shopping centers, Consumer finance and Hotels segments) are allocated to the Development and sale of properties segment and to the Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segment, respectively.

Allocation of results from recognition of inventories at net realizable value

These results are allocated to the Sales and development segment.

Allocation of results from retained interest in securitized receivables (Consumer finance)

These results are allocated to the Consumer finance segment.

Allocation of results from real estate transactions and holdings

These results are allocated directly to the segment that generates them.

Table of Contents

Allocation of financial results and holding results to business segments

Includes interest income, exchange gain (loss) from assets, other holding results, interest expenses, exchange gain (loss) from liabilities and other financial expenses, allocated to each segment, as described below.

Each one of the following segments: Shopping centers, Consumer finance and Hotels manages its financial transactions individually. The gains/losses on said transactions are directly allocated to these segments. The financial gains or losses unrelated to these business units are shown in the Financial transactions and other segment as they are not specifically generated by any other segment separately, except Interest income and Interest expenses, which are prorated among all the segments in proportion to the corresponding assets to each segment.

Allocation of Gains/(Losses) on equity investees, Other income and expenses, Minority interest and Income tax to business segments

Allocation of Gain/(Losses) on equity investees

These results are directly allocated to the segment that generates them.

Allocation of other income and expenses

The Shopping centers, Consumer Finance and Hotels segments each manage their expenses individually. The results generated by such operations are directly allocated to these segments. The remaining expenses are shown in the Financial transactions and other segment since they are not specifically generated by any other separate segment.

Allocation of Income tax and minimum presumed income tax

Income tax and the respective minimum presumed income tax are allocated to the segment that generates them.

Allocation of minority interest

Minority interests are allocated to the respective segments that generate them.

Business Segment Reporting

We have determined that our reportable segments are those based on our method of internal reporting. Accordingly, we have six reportable segments. These segments are: “Development and sale of properties”, “Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties”, “Shopping centers”, “Hotels”, “Consumer finance”, and “Financial transactions and other.”

A general description of each segment follows:

Development and sale of properties. This segment includes the operating results of construction and/or sale of buildings business.

Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties. This segment includes the operating results from our lease and service revenues for offices and other non-shopping center rental properties, received from tenants.

 

49


Table of Contents

Shopping Centers. This segment includes the operating results from the shopping center business, principally consisting of lease and service revenues from tenants.

Hotels. This segment includes the operating results of our hotels principally comprised of room service, catering service and restaurant revenues.

Consumer Finance. It includes the results from the management of the credit portfolio by the companies Tarshop S.A. and Metroshop S.A.

Financial transactions and other. This segment primarily includes any income/(loss) relating to and/or arising from securities-related transactions and other businesses. This segment also includes the results from related companies associated with the banking business.

We measure our reportable segments based on operating income. Inter-segment transactions, if any, are accounted for at current market prices. We evaluate performance and allocate our resources to each segment based on operating income. None of our activities is dependent upon a single customer.

Results of IRSA’s Operations for the Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Sales, leases and services

Revenues grew by 9.0%, from ARS 1,323.3 million for the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 1,441.9 million in the fiscal year 2011 due to the increases in revenues posted by each one of our segments, except for the Consumer finance segment that will be further discussed below.

Development and sale of properties

This segment’s revenues often exhibit major variations between periods by reason of (i) the non-recurrent nature of real estate purchase and sale transactions (and of the price obtained from them), (ii) the quantity of construction works in progress and (iii) the date of completion of these construction works projects. The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment increased by 51.2% from ARS 225.6 million for the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 341.1 million for the fiscal year 2011.

The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment for fiscal year 2010 included, mainly:

 

   

ARS 68.6 million as income from the sale of Edificios Costeros (Dock II);

 

   

ARS 46.3 million as income from the sale of the Pereiraola property;

 

   

ARS 42.1 million as income from the sale of Dock del Plata finished units; and

 

   

ARS 10.9 million as income from the sale of Libertador 602 in its entirety; and

 

   

ARS 46.6 million as income from the sale of stories at the building located in Av. Del Libertador 498.

The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment for fiscal year 2011 included, mainly:

ARS 92.4 million as income from the sale of completed units of Horizons;

 

   

ARS 75.4 million as income from the sale and barter of Terreno Beruti; and

The revenues from our segment Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties were up by 6.8%, from ARS 154.2 million for the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 164.6 million for the fiscal year 2011. The factors that primarily account for this rise is that in fiscal 2011 the average price per leasable square meter increased and that the properties’ occupancy rates were also up (from 82% to 85%).

Shopping centers

The revenues from our segment Shopping centers grew by 30.2%, from ARS 518.4 million for the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 674.8 million for the fiscal year 2011. The reasons are to be primarily found in the ARS 128.5 million increase in revenues from leases and admission rights,

Table of Contents

explained in turn by: (i) a 34.4% increase in our lessees’ total sales, which rose from ARS 5,778.2 million during the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2010 to ARS 7,766.3 million in the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2011 thus resulting in higher percentage leases and (ii) an increase in the average price per square meter.

Hotels

The revenues from our Hotels segment rose 20.6% on the ARS 159.9 million posted in the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 192.9 million for the fiscal year 2011, owing mainly to increases in the average price per room which increased from ARS 653 for fiscal year 2010 to ARS 714 for fiscal year 2011 and the average occupancy rate, which was up to 72.5% for fiscal 2011 from 65.6% for fiscal year 2010.

Consumer Finance

The revenues from our Consumer Finance segment declined by 74.2%, from ARS 265.3 million for the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 68.6 million for the fiscal year 2011 as a result of the sale of Tarshop S.A.’s 80% interest.

The costs of sales, leases and services increased by 26.4%, from ARS 475.3 million for the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 600.8 million for the fiscal year 2011, by reason of cost increases in our Development and sale of properties, Shopping centers, Hotels and Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties segments, partially offset by a reduction in the costs of our Consumer finance segment. Our consolidated costs, as a percentage of our consolidated income increased from 35.9% for fiscal year 2010 to 41.7%, for fiscal year 2011.

Development and sale of properties

This segment’s costs often exhibit major variations between periods by reason of (i) the non-recurrent nature of real estate purchase and sale transactions (and of the price obtained from them), (ii) the quantity of construction works in progress and (iii) the date of completion of these construction works projects. The costs associated to our Development and sale of properties segment increased by 194.4%, from ARS 83.1 million for the fiscal year 2010 to ARS 244.8 million for the fiscal year 2011.

The line Other income and expenses, net, went up by ARS 4.3 million, from a ARS 10.3 million loss for the fiscal year 2010 to a ARS 14.9 million loss for the fiscal year 2011, mainly due to: (i) a ARS 2.3 million increase in lawsuit-related contingencies and (ii) a ARS 2.8 million increase in non-computable VAT.

Income tax and minimum presumed income tax

Income tax and minimum presumed income tax declined by ARS 43.9 million, from a ARS 148.4 million loss for the fiscal year 2010, to a ARS 104.5 million loss for the fiscal year 2011. We applied the deferred tax method upon assessing income tax for the two fiscal years, thus recognizing temporary differences as deferred tax assets and liabilities.

This result increased by ARS 14.3 million, from a ARS 43.5 million loss for the fiscal year 2010, to a ARS 57.8 million loss for the fiscal year 2011, mainly on account of the income earned by our subsidiaries during fiscal 2011, strongly offset by the acquisition of APSA’s minority interest.

Net income

Results of IRSA’s Operations for the Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Sales, leases and services

Revenues grew by 8.4%, from ARS 1,220.6 million for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 1,323.3 million in the fiscal year 2010 due to the increases in revenues posted by each one of our segments, except for the Development and sale of properties segment that will be further discussed below.

Development and sale of properties

This segment’s revenues often exhibit major variations between periods by reason of (i) the non-recurrent nature of real estate purchase and sale transactions (and of the price obtained from them), (ii) the quantity of construction works in progress and (iii) the date of completion of these construction works projects. The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment declined by 19.5% from ARS 280.4 million for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 225.6 million for the fiscal year 2010.

The revenues of our Development and sale of properties segment for fiscal year 2009 included, mainly:

 

   

ARS 53.8 million as income from the sale of Torre Renoir in its entirety;

 

   

ARS 74.5 million as income from the sale of the Laminar Plaza building;

 

   

ARS 42.1 million as income from the sale of Dock del Plata finished units;

 

   

ARS 36.4 million as income from the sale of 4 stories in the building located at Libertador 498;

Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties

The revenues from our segment Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties were up by 4.3%, from ARS 147.7 million for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 154.2 million for the fiscal year 2010. The factors that primarily account for this rise is that in fiscal 2010 the average price per leasable square meter was up by 1.1% on the previous year, that the properties’ occupancy rates were also up (from 91% to 93%) and that 11,298 square meters of new leasable space from the Dique IV office building, located at Juana Manso 295, and finished in May 2009, were incorporated into our portfolio. These positive factors were partially offset by the 14,777 square meter reduction in the segment’s total leasable square meters sustained in fiscal 2010 basically on account of the sale of Edificios Costeros (Dock II) and of units in Dock del Plata, Libertador 498 and in other non-strategic properties, as further explained under Development and sale of properties.

Shopping centers

The revenues from our segment Shopping centers grew by 30.7%, from ARS 396.7 million for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 518.4 million for the fiscal year 2010. The reasons are to be primarily found in the ARS 109.8 million increase in revenues from leases and admission rights, explained in turn by: (i) an increase in Dot Baires Shopping’s turnover for the whole year, up on its results for one and a half month posted a year earlier; (ii) a 37.8% increase our lessees’ total sales, which rose from ARS 4,194.2 million during the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2009 to ARS 5,778.2 million in the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2010 thus resulting in higher percentage leases and (iii) an increase in the average price per square meter.

Hotels

The revenues from our segment Hotels rose slightly, up 0.6% on the ARS 158.9 million posted in the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 159.9 million for the fiscal year 2010, owing mainly to an increase in the average price per room offset in turn by a decrease in the average occupancy rate, which was down to 65.6% for fiscal 2010 from 69.8% for fiscal year 2009.

Consumer Finance

The revenues from our Consumer Finance segment grew by 12.0%, from ARS 236.8 million for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 265.3 million for the fiscal year 2010. This increase was mainly due to rises in: (i) sales at retail stores and supermarkets; (ii) the loans granted and (iii) the cards issued.

Costs of sales, leases and services

The costs of sales, leases and services decreased by 6.5%, from ARS 508.5 million for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 475.3 million for the fiscal year 2010, by reason of cost reductions in our Development and sale of properties and Consumer Finance segments, partially offset by an increase in the costs of our Shopping centers, Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties and Hotels segments.

Gain on recognition of inventories at net realizable value

When it comes to the valuation of the certificates, it yielded ARS 23.7 million in income. The reasons for this variation are to be found in the decrease in portfolio delinquency (bad debt charges according to minimum requirements, recoveries and refinancing) due in turn to increased volumes in recoveries and changes in lending policies and a decrease in the borrowing interest rates accrued by the debt instruments.

The comparison of their equity values with their recoverable values (fair values) yielded ARS 3.5 million in income. In turn, the series placed through Public Offering resulted in ARS 7.6 million in income, broken down as follows: placement of 9 series for a total placement amount of ARS 420.1 million.

Gain from operations and holdings of real estate assets, net

fiscal year 2010, as a result of an increase in the net gain from retained interest in securitized receivables, a decrease in Selling expenses and in costs and an increase in revenues which was partly offset by an increase in Administrative expenses.

Financial and holding results, net

Our Financial results, net (a loss) grew by ARS 28.7 million, up from a ARS 136.0 million loss for the fiscal year 2009 to a ARS 165.1 million loss for the fiscal year 2010, mainly by reason of:

 

  i. the fact that none of the non-recurring gains recognized in fiscal 2009, which had amounted to ARS 105.9 million and ARS 12.0 million and arisen, respectively, from our repurchases of Alto Palermo’s notes and hedging transactions, were recognized in fiscal 2010;

 

  ii. a ARS 25.4 million increase in the financing expenses associated to the payments of interest accrued on our notes; and

 

  iii. a ARS 115.1 million reduction in the foreign exchange losses, both in fiscal 2010 and compared to the previous fiscal year due to a slighter variation in the US Dollar offer rate throughout fiscal 2010 (it rose from ARS 3.797 at June 30, 2009 to ARS 3.931 at June 30, 2010), in stark contrast to the situation a year earlier when the USD/ARS exchange rate had varied greatly (up from ARS 3.025 at June 30, 2008 to ARS 3.797 at June 30, 2009).

Gain on equity investees

Gain on equity investees rose by ARS 98.9 million, up from ARS 61.5 million in income for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 160.4 million in income for the fiscal year 2010. This increase is mainly attributable to (i) ARS 70.4 million arising from our acquisition of additional shares in fiscal 2010 at prices below the market value of the shares, which in turn yielded a result equivalent to the difference between the market value and the price actually paid, and (ii) a ARS 81.2 million increase arising from the appreciation of Banco Hipotecario shares and due, in turn, to the increase in Banco Hipotecario’s net income and the increase in our ownership interest in Banco Hipotecario, up from 21.34% at June 30, 2009 to 28.03% at June 30, 2010 (both figures, without considering the effect of treasury shares in portfolio).

The line Other income and expenses, net, went up by ARS 1.5 million, from a ARS 8.9 million loss for the fiscal year 2009 to a ARS 10.3 million loss for the fiscal year 2010, mainly due to: (i) a ARS 3.7 million increase in donations and (ii) a ARS 1.2 million increase in lawsuit-related contingencies, partly offset by a ARS 3.8 million decrease in non-computable VAT.

Income tax and minimum presumed income tax

Income tax and minimum presumed income tax rose by ARS 68.1 million, up from a ARS 80.3 million loss for the fiscal year 2009, to a ARS 148.4 million loss for the fiscal year 2010. We applied the deferred tax method upon assessing income tax for the two fiscal years, thus recognizing temporary differences in the books and in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Minority interest

This line includes the results of third parties’ minority interests in those subsidiaries in which we exercise control or in which we have effective control. The minority interest shrank by ARS 68.8 million, down from ARS 25.3 million in income for the fiscal year 2009, to a ARS 43.5 million loss for the fiscal year 2010, mainly on account of the income earned by the companies in which we have a majority stake during fiscal 2010.

Net income

As a result of the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, income for the year rose by ARS 175.9 million, up from ARS 158.6 million for the fiscal year 2009 to ARS 334.5 million for the fiscal year 2010.

Hoteles Argentinos Loan

On March 15, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement with Standard Bank Argentina S.A., whereby it lent to Hoteles Argentinos the sum of ARS 19.0 million, which were used to repay the loan with Credit Suisse First Boston International. In addition, on March 15, 2010, the mortgage and swap agreement entered into with Credit Suisse First Boston International were cancelled. The new loan with Standard Bank Argentina S.A. was repayable in a single payment that fell due on the first anniversary of the agreement’s execution date, and accrues interest at a fixed rate of 16.25% payable every three months in arrears. On March 15, 2011, such loan was replaced and three loans with Standard Bank Argentina S.A. were agreed upon: one loan for ARS 15.8 million, due on March 14, 2012 accruing interest at a rate of 16.75%, and two loans in dollars, each for USD 0.4 million, the first one due on September 12, 2011 and accruing interest at a rate of 3.70% and the second one due on March 14, 2011 accruing interest at a rate of 3.90%.

Alto Palermo 10% convertible notes due 2014

On July 19, 2002, Alto Palermo issued USD 50.0 million in unsecured Convertible Notes in exchange for cash and the settlement of certain liabilities owed to its shareholders. The proceeds received by Alto Palermo were used to repay short term bank loans for ARS 27.3 million and to redeem secured notes issued by Alto Palermo for ARS 52.8 million. The convertible notes accrue interest (payable semi-annually) at a 10.0% fixed interest rate per annum and are convertible at any time at the holder’s option into shares of common stock of ARS 0.10 par value each. The

conversion rate per U.S. dollar is the lower between (i) ARS 3.08642 and (ii) the result from dividing the exchange rate prevailing on the conversion date by Alto Palermo’s common shares’ par value. The convertible notes’ original maturity date was July 19, 2006, but the noteholders’ meeting held on May 2, 2006 extended the initial maturity date to July 19, 2014. The rest of the terms and conditions remained unaltered. During fiscal years 2011, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003, holders of USD 18.24 million convertible notes of Alto Palermo exercised their conversion rights. Consequently, Alto Palermo issued 477,544,197; 101,582; 52,741,373, 22,852,514, and 4,829,745 common shares, respectively. If all the holders of Convertible Notes exercised their conversion rights, Alto Palermo’s total amount of outstanding shares would increase from 1,259.6 million to 2,239.7 million. As of June 30, 2011 we held USD31.7 million of Alto Palermo’s convertible notes.

APSA has expressed its intention to repurchase those Convertible Notes for an amount of USD 36.1 million, as approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on May 26, 2011. On such date, our Shareholders’ Meeting approved the sale of those convertible Notes, contingent upon the consummation of the Global Offer of APSA’s New Shares resolved upon by the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting dated May 26, 2011 and APSA’s Board of Directors’ Meeting dated June 24, 2011. The price offered for the repurchase of the Convertible Notes was approved by our Shareholders’ Meeting dated May 26, 2011. APSA’s Audit Committee resolved that the terms of its proposal for the repurchase of the Convertible Notes are reasonable, and obtained favorable opinions from third parties with respect to the repurchase price offered.

Alto Palermo series I and series II notes

Acquisition of Alto Palermo’s Series I Notes

During fiscal year 2009, we purchased USD 39.6 million in principal amount of Alto Palermo’s Series I Notes, for a total amount of USD 19.3 million.

In turn, in the course of fiscal 2009, our subsidiary Alto Palermo repurchased some of its Series I notes for USD 5.0 million in nominal value. As a weighted average, the price paid was USD 0.3978 for a total of USD 1.9 million.

In addition, during this fiscal period, APSA repurchased its Series I notes for a principal amount of USD 5.0 million. The weighted average price was USD 1.0201 for a total of USD 5.1 million.

CORPORATE SERVICE AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO WITH CRESUD SACIF Y A. AND APSA

In view of the fact that our Company, Cresud and APSA have operating areas with certain similarities, the Board of Directors deemed it appropriate to implement alternative initiatives aimed at reducing certain fixed costs in its activities in order to reduce their impact on operating results, thereby taking advantage of and optimizing individual efficiencies of each company in the different areas of operations management.

Within this context, on June 30, 2004, a Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services was executed by and between our Company, Cresud and APSA, which was subsequently amended on August 23, 2007, August 14, 2008, November 27, 2009 and July 11, 2011.

The Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services executed by and between us, CRESUD and APSA currently involves the following areas in the exchange of services: Human Resources, Finance, Institutional Relations, Administration and Control, Systems and Technology, Insurance, Purchases and Procurement, Messenger Services, Contracts, Technical, Infrastructure and Services, Purchases, Architecture and Design, Development of Works, Audit and Control, Real Estate, Hotels and Tourism, Board of Directors’ positions to be distributed, General Management Department’s positions to be distributed and Board of Directors’ Safety.

The exchange of services consists in the provision of services for value in relation to any of the above mentioned areas, carried out by one or more of the parties to the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services on behalf of the other party or parties, invoiced and payable primarily through offsetting based on the provision of services in any such areas, and secondarily in cash, in case of a difference in value of the services provided. Under this agreement, the companies have hired an external consulting company to review and evaluate on a six-month basis the criteria used in the settlement of corporate services, as well as the bases of distribution and supporting documentation used in the process, to be reflected in a report prepared for each six-month period.

On March 12, 2010 we entered into a new amendment to the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services with CRESUD and APSA so as to simplify the issues arising from the consolidation of the financial statements resulting from the increase or Cresud’s investment in our Company. In this regard, our Board of Directors has deemed it convenient and advisable for achieving such simplification, to unify in Cresud and to assign to Cresud our and APSA’s employment agreements. Effective since January 1, 2010, labor costs of such employees were transferred to Cresud’s payroll, which will continue to be distributed with us and APSA pursuant to the conditions of the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services.

In the future, and in order to follow the policy of making the most efficient distribution of corporate resources among the different areas, the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services may be extended to other areas shared by the Company with Cresud and APSA.

It should be noted that, notwithstanding this procedure, the Company, Cresud and APSA maintain total independence in their strategic and commercial decisions, and that the allocation of costs and income is performed based on operating efficiency and equity principles, without pursuing individual economic benefits for the companies. The implementation of this project does not impair the identification of the economic transactions or services involved, or the effectiveness of internal control systems or internal and external audit work of each company, or the disclosure of the transactions subject to the Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services in accordance with Technical Resolution No. 21 of the FACPCE. Furthermore, Mr. Alejandro Gustavo Elsztain has been appointed to the position of General Coordinator, whereas Cedric Bridger has been charged with the operation and implementation of the agreement on behalf of our Company, Daniel E. Mellicovsky shall represent Cresud and APSA. All these individuals are members of the Audit Committees of their respective companies.

Corporate Governance

At IRSA we understand that good corporate governance practices should be supported and framed in an environment of adequate interaction and operation of its corporate bodies in accordance with the regulations in force, as the most efficient manner of protecting our shareholders.

Furthermore, the Company is subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; therefore, it must assure the effectiveness of its internal control system for financial reporting purposes. It has passed its Code of Ethics, which is applicable to all its employees and sets forth a strict system of authorization and information disclosure practices aligned with the highest international standards insofar as concerns investor relations.

The foregoing principles, along with the ongoing updating of its corporate governance practices in line with the most stringent market practices, place IRSA as the leading company in the Argentine capital markets.

In addition, a summary of the most significant differences between IRSA’s corporate governance practices and the practices applied by US companies as per the standards set by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for such companies may be consulted in Spanish and English in the Company’s web page (www.irsa.com.ar).

In compliance with the provisions of Decree No. 677/01, below is a brief description of the aspects related to the decision taking processes and internal control system as of the date of this Annual Report.

Therefore, for further illustration we refer to Exhibit I to this Annual Report, which includes the corporate governance report required by the Corporate Governance Code implemented by General Resolution No. 516/2007 issued by the Argentine Securities Commission (hereinafter, the “Code” and the “CNV”, respectively).

Internal Control - Audit Committee

Management uses the Integrated Framework-Internal Control issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Report”) to assess the 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 on financial reporting, and

 

   

Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

Based on the above, a company’s internal control system involves all the 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 the 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 areas and, therefore, those of the entity as a whole;

 

87


Table of Contents
   

the other personnel plays a role in exercising control, by generating information used in the control system or taking action to ensure control.

Audit Committee

In accordance with the Regime of Transparency in Public Offerings provided by Decree No. 677/2001 and the regulations of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”), our board of directors established an Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee is a committee of the board of directors, the main function of which is to assist the board of directors in (i) exercising its duty of care, diligence and competence in issues relating to us, specifically as concerns the enforcement of accounting policies, disclosure of accounting and financial information, (ii) management of our business risk, the management of our internal control systems, (iii) ethical conduct of the Company’s businesses, (iv) monitoring the sufficiency of our financial statements, (v) our compliance with the laws, (vi) independence and capacity of independent auditors, (vii) performance of our internal audit duties both by our company and the external auditors and (viii) it may render, upon request of the Board of Directors, its opinion on whether the conditions of the related parties’ transactions for relevant amounts may be considered reasonably sufficient under normal and habitual market conditions.

The Audit Committee must meet at least once a year.

In accordance with Decree No. 677/2001 and the Regulations of the Comisión Nacional de Valores our Audit Committee is made up by three independent directors. The NYSE Regulations establish that as of July 31, 2005, foreign companies listing securities in the United States must have an Audit Committee fully formed by independent directors.

Currently, we have a fully independent Audit Committee composed of Messrs. Cedric Bridger, Ricardo Liberman and Mario Blejer.

Compensation

Directors

Under the Argentine Business Corporations Law (Law No. 19,550), 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 proportionally to the distribution. 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.

When one or more directors perform special commissions or technical or administrative activities, and there are no earnings to distribute, or they are reduced, the shareholders meeting may approve compensation in excess of the above mentioned limits. The compensation of our directors for each fiscal year is determined pursuant to the Argentine Business Corporations Law and taking into consideration whether the directors performed technical or administrative activities and our fiscal year’s results. Once the amounts are determined, they are considered at the shareholders’ meeting.

In the course of our shareholders’ meeting held on October 29, 2010, the shareholders approved total compensation in the amount of ARS 27.8 million for all our directors for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2010. At the end of this fiscal year, these amounts had been totally paid.

Table of Contents

Under the executive employment agreements entered into with Messrs. Eduardo S. Elsztain, Saúl Zang and Oscar P. Bergotto, if we terminate any of these executive employment agreements without cause, we will be liable to the relevant executive for two years of compensation.

Senior Management

We pay our senior management pursuant to 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 overall results. The total and aggregate cash compensation of our Senior Management for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 was ARS 11.3 million.

Supervisory Committee

The shareholders meeting held on October 29, 2011, approved by majority vote the decision not to pay any compensation to our Supervisory Committee.

Audit Committee

The members of our Audit Committee do not receive compensation in addition to that received for their service as members of our board of directors.

Compensation plan for executive management

During this fiscal year, we have developed a special compensation plan for key managers by means of contributions to be made by the employees and by the Company.

Such Plan is directed to key managers and aims to retain them by increasing their total compensation package, granted to those who have met certain conditions.

Participation and contributions under the Plan are voluntary. Once the invitation to participate has been accepted by the employee, he or she is required to make two kinds of contributions: monthly contributions (salary based) and extraordinary contribution (annual bonus based). The suggested contribution to be made by Participants is: up to 2.5% of their monthly salary and up to 15.0% of their annual bonus. Our contribution will be 200% of the employees’ monthly contributions and 300% of the extraordinary employees’ contributions.

The funds collected as a result of the Participants’ contributions are transferred to a special independent vehicle created in Argentina as an Investment Fund approved by the Comisión Nacional de Valores. Such funds are freely redeemable upon request of the Participants.

The funds collected as a result of our contributions are transferred to another independent vehicle separate from the previous one. In the future, participants will have access to 100% of the benefits of the Plan (that is, our contributions made on the participants’ behalf to the specially created vehicle) under the following circumstances:

 

   

ordinary retirement in accordance with applicable labor regulations;

 

   

total or permanent incapacity or disability; and

 

   

death.

In case of resignation or termination without legal justification, the Participant may redeem amounts contributed by us only if he or she has participated in the Plan for at least 5 years.

Dividends and Dividend Policy

Pursuant to Argentine law, the distribution and payment of dividends to shareholders is allowed only if they result from realized and net earnings of the company pursuant to annual financial statements approved by our shareholders. 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 shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

In accordance with Argentine law and our by-laws, net and realized profits for each fiscal year are allocated as follows:

 

   

5% of such net profits is allocated to our legal reserve, until such reserve amounts to 20% of our capital stock;

 

   

a certain amount determined at a shareholders’ meeting is allocated to compensation of our directors and the members of our Supervisory Committee;

 

   

additional amounts may be allocated for the payment of optional reserve funds, or to establish contingency reserves or for whatever other purpose our shareholders determine.

Table of Contents

According to rules issued by the Comisión Nacional de Valores, cash dividends must be paid to shareholders within 30 days of the resolution approving their distribution. In the case of stock dividends, the shares must be delivered to shareholders within three months of the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting that approved them.

On February 2, 2007 we issued our 2017 fixed rate notes for a total amount of USD150.0 million at an annual interest rate of 8.5% payable semi-annually and maturing on February 2, 2017. This bond limits our ability to pay dividends, which may not exceed the sum of:

 

   

50% of our cumulative consolidated net income; or

 

   

75% of our cumulative consolidated net income if the consolidated interest coverage ratio is at least 3.0 to 1; or

 

   

100% of our cumulative consolidated net income if the consolidated interest coverage ratio is at least 4.0 to 1.

 

   

100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds (with certain exceptions) and the fair market value of property other than cash received by the Company or by its restricted subsidiaries from (a) any contribution to the Company’s capital stock or the capital stock of its restricted subsidiaries or issuance and sale of the Company’s qualified capital stock or the qualified capital stock of its restricted subsidiaries subsequent to the issue of the Company’s notes due 2017, or (b) issuance and sale subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s notes due 2017 or its indebtedness or the indebtedness of its restricted subsidiaries that has been converted into or exchanged for qualified capital stock of the Company, (c) any kind of reduction in the Company’s indebtedness or the indebtedness of any of its restricted subsidiaries; or (d) any kind of reduction in investments in debt certificates (other than permitted investments) and in the return on assets; or (e) any distribution received from unrestricted subsidiary.

Our dividend policy consists in the distribution of an amount up to the highest of a) twenty per cent (20%) of the Sales, leases and services of “Offices and other Non-Shopping Center Rental Properties” segment, defined in Segment information, as of June 30 of each year, or b) twenty per cent (20%) of Net income defined in the Consolidated Statements of Income as of June 30 of each year. This policy requires that we must at all times comply with the covenants imposed by our financial obligations.

The table below presents the dividend payment ratio and the total amount of dividends paid for, each paid entirely in common shares, for the mentioned years. Figures in Pesos are stated in historical Pesos of their respective payment date.

PROSPECTS FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR

During fiscal year 2011, the Company has achieved a strong growth and consolidation in all its lines of business, achieving a unique position to face next fiscal year 2012.

During fiscal year 2011, Shopping center activity has shown a sharp increase in sales, in line with other consumption related businesses and keeping track of the economic growth in the country.

Regarding organic growth, we will continue executing our expansion strategy in Buenos Aires and other locations in Argentina. In this sense, we have recently acquired 50% of a company entitled to the concession of “La Ribera” shopping in the City of Santa Fe, in partnership with Grainco S.A, thus adding the 13th shopping mall to our portfolio.

Moreover, we will continue with the improvement, reconditioning and redistribution of spaces in our Shopping Centers in order to take advantage of their GLA potential and provide further functionality and appeal to our tenants and consumers. In this sense, we expect to expand and optimize GLA in the Soleil Factory; thus intending to position it as the first Premium outlet in Argentina.

Regarding other new shopping center developments, we are planning to launch a new outlet in Palermo through our subsidiary Arcos del Gourmet S.A., and a mall in the city of Neuquen, in line with our expansion strategy both in the City of Buenos Aires and in Argentine Provinces.

We will continue executing marketing campaigns, events and promotions in our shopping centers targeted to attract consumers. These actions will be carried forward with the joint effort of the Company, our tenants and banks issuers of credit cards. All these should enhance the long term cash generation of our shopping centers as well as their market positioning.

Regarding the Offices for Rental segment, we will aim to continue consolidating the best Premium portfolio in the City of Buenos Aires. Thus, we are developing a building in Catalinas, on a plot of land that the Company had acquired in December 2009. Moreover, we will continue working towards achieving maximum occupancy in our assets and the best possible lease agreements, trying to attract new firms whishing to relocate in the spaces we offer.

Regarding the Sales and Development segment, we expect to continue selling non strategic assets and small land reserves while completing the delivery of the units of the Horizons Project. We also expect to make progress with the sales of the units received following barter agreements in the residential projects Caballito Nuevo, Torres Rosario and El Encuentro.

Finally, as concerns opportunities outside Argentina, we will aim to optimize the operation of the Lipstick Building and 183 Madison Ave. We expect these assets to continue improving their NOI levels. Also we will continue seeking for selective investments including high quality assets with attractive prices or capital structures with potential for improvement.

Given the Company’s solid level of cash generation, its asset quality, low indebtedness level, its experience in taking advantage of market opportunities and its credentials in the international capital markets, we believe that we are on the right way to continue consolidating the best real estate portfolio of Argentina.

Exhibit I: Corporate Governance Report

General Resolution CNV 516/2007 of the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV)

Preliminary Considerations

Pursuant to its General Resolution No. 516/2007, the Argentine Securities Commission approved the minimum contents of the Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) whereby all publicly traded companies shall, upon preparing their annual financial statements, include in their annual reports and as a separate exhibit, a report detailing whether they are heeding the Code recommendations, and if so, how, and explaining the reasons why they have not adopted the Code recommendations in whole or in part and whether they are planning to adopt them in the future. Therefore, on September 8, 2010 our Board of Directors approved the report prescribed by the Code, which constitutes an integral part of these financial statements and reads as follows:

SCOPE

1.) Relationship between the Issuer and the Conglomerate. The Board must thoroughly report any policies applicable to the relationship between the issuer and the conglomerate as such and its integral parts, if any.

In particular, the Board must report the transactions with affiliates and related companies and, in general, those that might be relevant to determine the degree of effectiveness and compliance with the loyalty, diligence and independence duties. Furthermore, the Board must report the transactions conducted with shareholders, management and the Board.

In connection with related companies, it is Company policy to enter into transactions in arm’s length conditions.

The transactions with related parties are, as prescribed by the law, subject to the Audit Committee’s opinion. The Audit Committee analyzes the reasonableness of transactions in the terms of Executive Decree No. 677/01 and issues reports in this respect.

In the event of the Company conducting transactions with its shareholders, management and/or the Board, it shall abide by the provisions under Law No. 19,550, section 271.

2) Inclusion of Corporate Governance matters in the Company’s By-laws. The Board must assess whether its Corporate Governance Code provisions are to be reflected, in whole or in part, in the Company’s by-laws, including the Board’s specific and general duties. The Board must make sure that the Company’s By-laws should lay down rules to compel directors to disclose any personal interests related to the decisions submitted to Board consideration in order to avoid vested interests.

The Board of Directors considers that some of the provisions referred to in the Corporate Governance Code (hereinafter, the “Code”) are already within the scope of Argentina’s currently applicable corporate law legislation.

However, the Board understands that other Code provisions should not be included in the current wording of the By-laws because if they were changed and/or fine-tuned in the future, the need would arise for amending the By-laws accordingly and this would be burdensome and costly. It is thus the Board’s understanding that the configuration of the new code as a body separate from the

 

96


Table of Contents

By-laws would help to its enforcement and contribute to a more agile review and adaptation of provisions, as necessary, based on whether the law mandates such inclusion or whether conduct of business calls for it.

As regards the Directors’ duty to avoid conflicts of interest, the Board considers that its actions are aligned to the Argentine Companies Law, Sections 272 and 273, and specifically to the provisions concerning this matter and that the Company’s Code of Ethics (hereinafter “Ethics Code”) deals specifically with this matter. Additionally, the Company’s transactions are underpinned by counterparty analyses, including suppliers, in order to identify potential related parties and thus prevent vested interests.

ABOUT THE BOARD IN GENERAL

3) The Board is responsible for the Company’s Strategy. The Board of Directors is in charge of managing the Company and approving the general policies and strategies appropriate to the different phases in the Company’s life cycles and in particular:

a) The strategic and/or business plan, as well as management objectives and annual budgets;

b) Investment and funding policies;

c) Corporate Governance policies;

d) Enterprise Social Responsibility policies;

e) Risk control and management policies as well as any other policy aimed at a regular follow-up on the Company’s internal reporting and control systems; and

f) The implementation of continuous education programs targeted at directors and management executives.

Being an essential part, and the raison d’être, of its management actions, the strategic and business plan for the Company is laid down by the Board. The Board also lays down and sets, together with the appropriate departments, management objectives and the annual budget.

In harmony with the preceding sub-paragraph, the Board considers, on an annual basis, the Company’s planned investments and the appropriate financing requirements.

The Company has in place Corporate Governance policies (in accordance with the Argentine Executive Decree No. 677/01 and/or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) and the Board has approved the Corporate Governance Code report.

The Company has in place policies in this respect, such as those implemented through donation to non-profits as would be the case of the donations channeled through the IRSA foundation. The Company also has in place policies to recycle paper and other reusable materials such as plastics and disposable packaging.

The Company enforces the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act as concerns business controls, corporate level controls and general controls through information technology. In this respect, the Board is permanently updated of the company’s management control policies. The same holds true in connection with internal reporting and control systems, which are deployed by the IT, Organization and Methods and Internal Audit departments, responsible in turn for keeping the Board abreast of new developments.

There are continuous education programs for the managementteam, as discussed in further detail in paragraph 11).-

 

97


Table of Contents

4) Management Control. The Board is duty-bound to verify that the above-mentioned strategies and policies are implemented, that the budget and the operations plan are met and to control management performance, i.e., to make sure that management meets the objectives laid down, including expected profits, in furtherance of the Company’s corporate interest.

The Company has in place a management control system pursuant to which each department is responsible for administering its budget and for seeing to it that it is duly executed; mandatory signature authority levels are assigned based on transaction amounts, etc. This control system is permanently monitored by the Internal Audit Department.-

On a quarterly basis, the Board assesses the degree of compliance with the annual budget, analyzes the potential causes of any deviations from budget and recommends to management any necessary corrective measures in furtherance of the Company’s corporate interest in order to align them with each matter’s best practices.

5) Reporting and Internal Control. Risk Management. The Board must report on whether it relies on risk control and management policies, stating also whether these are permanently updated in line with the applicable best practices and also on whether it relies on other policies which, in the same nature, are aimed at a periodical follow-up on the Company’s internal information and control systems.

The Company enforces these policies.

In this respect, there are internal committees, such as IT Security and Risks, that are permanently updating their activities in line with the best practices criteria.-

6) Audit Committee. The Board of Directors must state whether the Audit Committee members are nominated by any of its members or only by its Chairman.

The Company has had an Audit Committee in place since the year that audit committees became a legal requirement. At present, the Company’s Audit Committee is made up by three independent members as prescribed by the applicable legal provisions.

The members of the Audit Committee are nominated by the Board in its entirety, in line with the provisions under Executive Decree No. 677/01 and they are chosen by a unanimous vote.

7) Number of Board Members. The Board of Directors is made up by the directors appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting, or, if applicable, by the Supervisory Committee, in accordance with the requirements laid down in the Company’s By-laws.

The Board of Directors must determine, on a case-by-case basis, in harmony with the size of the issuer and abiding by the decision-making procedure, if its numerical composition is adequate so that, should the need arise, a well-grounded proposal should be submitted to the Shareholders’ Meeting to request a change in the Board’s numerical composition.

The numerical composition of the Board must include a sufficient number of independent directors. The Board must create a sufficient number of committees to carry out its mission effectively and efficiently.

According to the provisions under the Argentine Companies Law, the Board of Directors is appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

As a matter of principle, the Board is made up by reliable prominent individuals of integrity, reputation and demonstrated ethics. Besides, they must be free from conflicts of interest and

 

98


Table of Contents

available to discharge their functions, which must be performed in full observance of the Company’s values; they should have demonstrated skills in the matters concerning their missions, master the best practices in corporate governance, be seasoned in legal entities management and possess a full understanding of the role to be played by a publicly traded company.

It is the Board’s understanding that in the light of the current circumstances and the size of the issuer, the number of directors laid down in the Company’s by-laws is fit and sufficient for the Company to conduct business guided by its management objectives for the fiscal year.

Besides, the Company has established several committees to focus closely on certain aspects of its management.

8) Board Membership. The Board of Directors must determine whether the enforcement of a policy geared towards the involvement of former executives in management is in the Company’s best interest and make any relevant recommendations.

The Board understands that there is no need, for the time being, to establish an express policy to permit former executives to participate in management. However, it does not rule it out either in so far as these executives’ knowledge of the company and their experience add a plus to their qualifications as directors, which are estimated to contribute to more efficient management.

9) Multiple Directorships. The Board must examine the advisability of directors and/or statutory auditors serving as such on a limited number of entities or the relevance of this aspect and make any recommendations it may see fit.

The Board finds it advisable for its members and statutory auditors to serve on the board of other companies making up the same conglomerate/group of companies as it helps to add synergies, reduce operating costs and ensure harmonious operation in the various companies, on top of the advantages this lends to management activities themselves.

10) Board Performance Assessment. The Board of Directors must, before holding the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting called to consider and adopt resolutions concerning the matters detailed in the Argentine Companies Law section 234, sub-sections 1 and 2, evaluate its own performance. To that end, the Board must prepare, in writing, a guide for assessing and laying down the criteria necessary to measure its performance.

As mandated by the Argentine Companies Law, the Board submits its own actions to the consideration by the Shareholders’ Meeting. The Company drafts an annual report that is made available to the shareholders, corporate governance bodies and regulators, in advance as prescribed by the applicable statutory terms and along the lines established by current rules and regulations, prior to the date set for the shareholders’ meeting.

The Board estimates that the term in advance as currently mandated is sufficient for the those concerned to duly weigh the information.

11) Director Training and Development. The Board must establish a continuous education program for its members and management executives in order to maintain and refresh their knowledge and skills and to boost Board efficacy overall.

The Company encourages its members to take part in training and professional update activities for Board and senior management members. In the Board’s opinion, it is vital to improved business management that the Company’s officers should be permanently trained and take part in local and international congresses and events in their respective fields of expertise.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE CRITERIA

12) Independent Directors. The Board of Directors must determine if the party that nominates a director is duty-bound to outwardly express, for public disclosure, sufficient evidence in support of his/her independence and make any relevant recommendations.

When it comes to director independence criteria, independent director nominations are accompanied by the reasons and sufficient expression of their condition as independent, as it arises from the minutes, which are widely disclosed through publication in the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) Financial Information Highway and in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

13) Appointment of Management Executives. The Board of Directors must determine, in connection with the selection, nomination and/or appointment of management executives if it is advisable to outwardly express the reasons underpinning the nomination and to disclose them to the public at large.

It is the Board’s opinion that there is no need, for the time being, to publicly disclose the reasons why management executives are appointed. This notwithstanding, and on account of the company being listed not only on the local securities exchange but also on other international securities markets, as has already been indicated, this recommendation is deemed to have been fully heeded.

14) Proportion of Independent Directors. The Board of Directors must outwardly express –and, if applicable, provide a description- whether it has in place a policy to maintain a proportion of independent directors on the total number of directors. There is also the duty to publicly disclose the proportion of executive directors, of non executive directors and of independent directors and to state the status of each Board member in this respect.

The proportion of independent directors in the Company’s board of directors is adequate as per the Argentine Securities Commission and the SEC requirements.

When it comes to the classification of directors as executive and non-executive, the Board understands that there is no need to implement those statuses for the time being.

The above notwithstanding, investors may rely on the so-called “20F” form, which contains an in-depth, personalized description by function of each one of the directors as well as the roster of the Steering Committee’s members.

15) Independent Directors’ Meetings. The Board must determine the suitability of holding Independent Directors-only meetings. When the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, the independent directors must appoint a lead independent director to coordinate its committees operations, prepare Board meeting agendas and hold specific independent directors’ meetings.

At the date of this report, the Chairman of the Board is a non-Independent Director and the Board’s independent directors share in the mission to safeguard observance of the Company’s agenda together with the Board’s chair and the remaining Board members.

Given that the Audit Committee is entirely made up by independent directors and that it sessions at regular intervals, we consider that any minimum requirements in this respect have been met.

RELATIONS WITH SHAREHOLDERS

16) Information to Shareholders. The Board must report whether it encourages periodical informational meetings with shareholders other than shareholders’ meetings.

The Board of Directors maintains its shareholders informed through various means, mostly, electronic. Thus, for instance, meeting attendance by remote communication equipment allows the Company to provide details and/or further explanation to foreign shareholders at the time of releasing its quarterly and annual financials.

The Company also has a web-site where it posts updated information and has appointed an officer in charge of investors relations from amongst the staff of the Corporate Finance Department.

Ever since 2003 the Company has been publishing in its web-site annual reports on financial statements and special quarterly earnings reports with a focus on those matters that can be of special interest to shareholders and investors.

In addition, the Company arranges presentations to the market and road shows concerning debt instrument issuances to respond to shareholders and investors’ enquiries.

17) Response to shareholders’ concerns and enquiries. The Board of Directors must specify whether the Company relies on a specific office for dealing with shareholders’ concerns and enquiries, except for those that may affect the Company’s future strategy or plans.

If any such arrangements were in place, the Board is to report on its duty to produce periodical reports on the matters consulted to be subsequently disclosed to shareholders, corporate governance bodies and regulators.

The Company has appointed an officer in charge of shareholders’ concerns and enquiries. The job title is Investors Relations Officer and has been appointed from amongst the staff of the Corporate Finance Department.

The Board analyzes the advisability and suitability of preparing general periodical reports to post in its website which could be of general interest to its shareholders in view of the concerns and enquiries voiced by investors, and always exercising care so that the Company’s strategic position is not adversely affected.

18) Minority Shareholder Presence at Shareholders’ Meetings. The Board of Directors is to render a well-grounded opinion as to the advisability of taking particular action to foster minority shareholder attendance at shareholders’ meetings.

The Company complies in full with the Argentine Companies Law and with the regulations laid down by local regulators (CNV) and the US regulators (SEC): such rules and regulations provide for multiple mechanisms for minority shareholder attendance at shareholders’ meetings. Their attendance at shareholders’ meetings is strictly accounted for and they exercise their rights to vote and to voice their opinions.

Additionally, as soon as the shareholders’ meetings are called, the Company performs a survey and a control of its minority and institutional shareholders, through Caja de Valores S.A. (shares) and Bank of New York (ADRs), proactively encouraging them to timely obtain any certification they may need to attend general and/or special shareholders’ meetings in due time.

 

101


Table of Contents

19) The market for Tender Offers. The Board of Directors must analyze, based on the interests of minority shareholders, the advisability of resorting to the market for tender offers. If so, it must recommend specific measures to be adopted by the Company to foster the formation of such mechanism.

In particular, the Board is to primarily furnish grounds for its decision to adhere or not to the mandatory public tender offer regime (tag-along provisions).

Even though the Company has recently resorted to tender offers, in instances known by the controlling authorities, in the light of the conditions prevailing in the market and to safeguard the interests of shareholders, the Board of Directors does not think it advisable that tag-along provisions and/or a market for tender offers should be in place.

Pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Company’s shareholders’ meeting, the Company does not adhere to the mandatory public tender offer regime. The Board does not deem it necessary to recommend changes in this respect.

20) Dividend Policy. The Board of Directors must assess, in accordance with the Company’s particular conditions, the suitability of establishing policies for payment of cash dividends and must explain the conclusions reached and the reasons for such conclusions. If applicable, it must describe the mechanism applied to propose to the Shareholders’ Meeting whether or not to pay dividends.

The Company is under certain restrictions regarding the payment of dividends arising from financial covenants undertaken by it, which circumstance is generally known by the market. Notwithstanding, at present the Board of Directors does not deem it necessary to be governed by any specific policy in this regard.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS

21) Internet Communications. The Board of Directors must report whether the Company has its own, freely accessible web-site, where it posts information that is updated, easy to understand, sufficient and differentiated by target audience and whereby the Company provides information and responds to user concerns.

The Company has its own web-site http://www.irsa.com.ar/ to receive users’ inquiries, complaints and reports.

22) Web-site requirements. Should the Company rely on a web-site, the Company must guarantee that the information transmitted through electronic media should meet the highest confidentiality and integrity standards whilst simultaneously preserving information and maintaining any requisite logs.

The Company guarantees that the information posted in the web-site should meet the standards that are customary in these types of web-sites.

COMMITTEES

23) Committee to be chaired by an Independent Director. The Board of Directors must render an opinion as to the advisability of the Audit Committee being at all times chaired by an independent member.

 

102


Table of Contents

The Board of Directors has decided as from the creation of its Audit Committee that it must be chaired by an independent director.

24) Rotation of Statutory Auditors and External Auditors. The Board of Directors must analyze the advisability of the Company having in place specific policies concerning rotation in Supervisory Committee membership and/or rotation of External Auditors; and in connection with the latter, whether the rotation includes the external audit firm or only the individuals.

The Audit Committee must assess on an annual basis the skills, independence and performance of the external audit and of the members of the audit committee.

The Company complies with the rotation requirement mentioned above, which, according to the rules and regulations of the CNV and the standards laid down by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires, is mandatory. The Audit Committee assesses on annual basis the performance of the External Auditor and of the members of the audit team as per applicable rules and regulations and issues the respective reports to be submitted to the consideration of the Shareholders’ Meetings.

25) Dual capacity as Statutory Auditor and as External Auditor. The Board of Directors must consider if it is advisable that the members of the Supervisory Committee should also discharge functions as external auditors and/or belong to the firm that renders external audit services to the Company.

The Board of Directors considers that such dual capacity is admissible. And that is also the position adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting that is required to consider, on an annual basis, such circumstance upon considering performance for the year and appointments.-

26) Compensation Systems. The Board of Directors is to render an express pronouncement on whether it is adequate or not to rely on a Remuneration Committee made up by non-executive directors and entrusted with the mission to establish clear director remuneration policies with special focus on respect for by-laws and/or contractual limitations based on the availability or not of profits.

If created, the Remuneration Committee is responsible for laying down Company policy concerning remuneration and benefits and it is therefore equally responsible for:

a) Reviewing and assessing its internal regulations on an annual basis and submitting any changes to consideration by the Board for its approval.

b) Reporting every year to the Board of Directors the valuation guidelines followed to determine the level of remuneration of the Company’s directors, senior management, advisors and consultants compared to companies sampled as comparable and recommending the amount of the remuneration to be paid to the Company’s directors, senior management, advisors and consultants;

c) Reviewing the competitive position of the Company’s policies and practices in connection to remunerations and benefits and approve any requisite changes;

d) Managing the stock option system;

e) Having a minimum numerical composition of three members;

f) Having a majority of independent directors;

g) Regularly reporting to the Board of Directors on the actions taken and the issues discussed in their meetings;

 

103


Table of Contents

h) Meeting at least twice a year;

i) Requesting external advice if necessary;

j) Reporting the guidelines for determining the retirement plans of directors and of senior management.

The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee must be available to attend the Shareholders’ Meeting convened to approve Board remuneration in order to explain the Company’s policies.

Each member of the Remuneration Committee must evidence sufficient skills and experience in human resources, compensation policies and risk management.

The Board of Directors deems it adequate to not create a Remuneration Committee: the Board, given its inherent nature, establishes the remuneration of its officers in full compliance with the Argentine Companies Law.

In order to foster the continued development of its human capital and to fill vacant job positions with the persons fittest for the position from within the Company’s own ranks or from outside the Company, the Human Resources department has as a priority to train, to foster career advancement and to determine a competitive compensation package in harmony with the market conditions which are periodically monitored.

27) Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee must lay down the standards and procedures inherent in the selection of directors and key executives and must determine the Company’s Corporate Governance policies and oversee their enforcement.

To that end it must:

a) Review and assess every year its internal regulations and propose to the Board any changes necessary for the Board’s approval;

b) Lay down the criteria that will guide the selection of new directors, the CEO and key executives;

c) Design the succession plans for the CEO and for key executives;

d) Identify and recommend the candidates for Board membership to be proposed by the Committee to the Shareholders’ Meeting;

e) Recommend the directors proposed for membership in the various Board committees;

f) Lay down the policies and procedures to assess the performance of the CEO and of the key executives;

g) Recommend and draft the standards and procedures that will guide the Company’s Corporate Governance practices and supervise their enforcement considering that all the aspects herein included must be contemplated;

h) Recommend alternatives for improving the performance of the Board of Directors and its Committees; and

i) Suggest mechanisms for improving relations and communications between the Company and its shareholders.

The Shareholders’ Meeting is responsible for choosing the regular and alternate directors according to current rules and regulations.

In turn, the Board is responsible for performing the functions that are conferred to it pursuant to the rules and regulations in force as detailed in the heading.

As of the date hereof, the Company does not have in place a Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee.

 

104


Table of Contents

28) Policy of Non-discrimination in Board membership. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is to take all measures necessary so that the appointment of members to the Board should not be impeded on account on any form of discrimination.

The Company abides fully by Argentine rules and regulations that repudiate all types of discrimination.

  b. Comparative Information

The financial statements as of June 30, 2010 originally issued have been subject to certain reclassifications required in order to present these figures comparatively with those stated as of June 30, 2011.

 

  c. Additional information about Tarshop S.A.’s sale

On September 13, 2010, APSA sold 80% of Tarshop S.A.. Consequently, the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2011 are not comparable with those issued as of June 30, 2010. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011, does not include Tarshop S.A.’s assets and liabilities, while the Statement of Income and the Statement of Cash Flows as of June 30, 2011 include income and cash flows, respectively, for the two-month period in which APSA still controlled it.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Statements of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1 a., have been prepared on a consistent basis with those applied by the Company. The 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.

In addition to the description in the Basic Financial Statements:

 

  a. Revenue recognition

 

   

Revenues from admission rights, leases and services

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 revenues (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross revenues).

Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 7% and 12% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental income is recognized on the accrued criteria.

Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of revenues or based on a percentage of revenues volume above a specified threshold. APSA 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, APSA’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.

Additionally, APSA charges its tenants a monthly administration fee related 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. The administration fee is prorated among the tenants according to their leases, which varies from shopping center to shopping center. Administration fees are recognized monthly when earned.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

  a. (Continued)

 

In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged “admission rights”, a non-refundable admission fee that tenants may be required to pay upon entering into a lease or 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.

 

   

Lease agent operations

Fibesa S.A., company in which Alto Palermo S.A. has shares of 99.999%, acts as the leasing agent for APSA bringing together the Company and potential lessees for the retail space available in certain of the APSA’s shopping centers. Fibesa S.A.’s revenues are derived primarily from collected commissions calculated as a percentage of the final rental income value, admission rights and commissions for rental of advertising spaces. Revenues are recognized at the time that the transaction is successfully concluded.

 

   

Consumer Financing operations

Revenues derived from credit card transactions consist of commissions and financing income, charges to clients for life and disability insurance and for statements of account, among other. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed, while the rest financing income is recognized when accrued. Income generated from granting consumer loans mainly includes financial interests, which are recognized by the accrual method during the year, irrespective of whether collection has or has not been made.

 

   

Hotel operations

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

  b. Investments

 

   

Current investments

As of June 30, 2010 current investments included retained interests in securitized receivables pursuant to the securitization programs of Tarshop S.A. and Metroshop S.A. with a realization term not exceeding twelve months, which have been accounted for under the equity method, net of the allowances for impairment, if applicable. In addition, it included public bonds, mutual funds and mortgage bonds carried at market value at year-end.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

  b. (Continued)

 

   

Equity investees and other non-current investments

As of June 30, 2010 included retained interests in securitized receivables of Tarshop S.A., which have been accounted for under the equity method, net of the corresponding allowances for impairment, if applicable.

In addition, the interests held in entities over which the Company does not exert control, joint control or significant influence have been measured for accounting purposes at cost plus any declared dividends.

Given the sale of 80% of Tarshop S.A.’s shares described in Note 22 B.3.ii), as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, APSA maintains a 20% investment in Tarshop S.A. which has been recognized by application of the equity method on account of the economic group being able to exercise significant influence on its decisions and of the economic group’s intention to maintain it as a long-term investment.

The equity investments in TGLT S.A. and Hersha Hospitality Trust were valued at their acquisition cost.

 

  c. Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are carried at restated cost less accumulated amortization and corresponding allowances for impairment in value, if applicable. Included in the Intangible Assets caption are the following:

 

   

Concession

Intangible assets include Arcos del Gourmet S.A.’s concession right, which will be amortized over the life of the concession agreement (see Note 22 B.1.), after the opening of the shopping center.

 

   

Trademarks

Trademarks include the expenses and fees related to their registration.

 

   

Pre-operating and organization expenses

These expenses are amortized by the straight-line method in 3 years, starting upon the opening of the shopping center.

The net carrying value of these assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at year end.

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

  c. (Continued)

 

   

Non-compete agreement

These expenses were amortized by the straight-line method in 28 months, beginning from December 1st, 2009.

In the framework of the agreement executed with Banco Hipotecario S.A. for the sale of Tarshop S.A.’s shares, APSA has signed a non-compete agreement in favor of BHSA and has thus written off this intangible (See Note 22 B.3.).

 

  d. Negative Goodwill, net

Amortizations were calculated through the straight-line method on the basis of an estimated useful life considering the weighted average of the remaining useful life of the assets acquired.

The residual value of goodwill arising from the acquisition of net assets and shares in companies has been shown in the “Negative goodwill, net” caption. Amortizations were classified in the “Amortization of the Negative Goodwill, net” caption of the Statement of Income. Goodwill related to the acquisition of interest in subsidiaries is included in non-current investments.

Values thus obtained do not exceed the respective estimated recoverable values at year end.

 

  e. Liabilities in kind related to barter transactions

Liabilities in kind corresponding to obligations to deliver units to be built are valued considering the value of the assets received or the cost of construction of the units to deliver plus necessary additional costs to transfer the assets to the creditor, the largest, thus reducing its value pro rata the units that are granted notarial titled deed. Liabilities in kind have been shown in the “Trade account payables”.

 

NOTE 3: NET INCOME BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

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 six reportable segments. These segments are Development and Sale of properties, Office and other Non-Shopping center Rental Properties, Shopping centers, Hotel Operations, Consumer financing and Financial operations and others.

NOTE 20: NATIONAL PARKS ADMINISTRATION DISPUTE

Provision for unexpired claims against Llao Llao Holding S.A.

The Company Llao Llao Holding S.A. (“LLH”) (in liquidation process following the merger with and into the Company), predecessor of Llao Llao Resorts S.A. (“LLR”) as operator of the Llao Llao Hotel, was sued in 1997 by the National Parks Administration seeking collection of the unpaid balance of the additional sale price, in Argentine External Debt Bond (“EDB”) amounting to US$ 2.9 million. A ruling of the court of original jurisdiction sustained the claim. That ruling was appealed, and the Court of Appeals confirmed the judgment of the court of original jurisdiction, demanding payment from the company of US$ 3.8 million, plus interest accrued through payment, penalties and attorney´s fees. In March 2004, LLH paid Ps. 9,156 in cash and EDB.

The plaintiff requested the court of original jurisdiction to initiate an incidental procedure for execution of sentence by performing a settlement through the Ministry of Economy, the procedure having being questioned by LLR. In view of the fact that the information provided was not sufficient to evaluate the amount settled by the Ministry of Economy, it was requested that the execution be suspended until there is a sentence on the complaint recourse filed with the National Supreme Court for the denial of the extraordinary recourse soliciting that the debt be converted to pesos.

On July 2008 the Court of Appeal notified LLR that by means of a resolution dated June 18, 2008 it had confirmed the settlement approved by the court of original jurisdiction.

On March 17, 2009, the National Supreme Court admitted the incidental procedure and decided to suspend the enforcement of the judgment in so far as the extraordinary appeal lodged by LLR is not resolved.

On February 23, 2010, the Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the action, which rendered the judgment final and compelled LLR to pay the amount calculated by the State. On April 2010, LLR paid Ps. 13,122 in cash and bonds.

After LLR’s filing was duly notified to the plaintiff, the latter in turn stated that the amounts deposited were in line with the settlement that, having taken place on June 30, 2007, was eventually approved in the framework of these proceedings on December 5, 2007. As a result, the Argentine Agency of National Parks argued that the interest accrued until actual payment were to be adjusted by application of the Argentine Central Bank’s borrowing interest rate. As estimated by the Argentine Agency of National Parks, the outstanding balance, to be deposited by LLR would amount to US$ 659.

NOTE 20: (Continued)

 

On June 10, 2010, LLR was notified of the newly-performed settlement: LLR filed an objection against it in due time and manner. On June 17, 2010, the court ordered that the plaintiff was to be served notice of the objection.

On August 6, 2010, the plaintiff filed a response to the most recent service of process. On September 10, 2010, the trial court judge resolved that the amount deposited by LLR is not sufficient to cover the amount of the payment order. An appeal against this resolution was filed on behalf of LLR alleging that there has been a material error incurred by the trial court.

In addition, on September 22, 2010, the judge calculated that the fees payable to the auctioneer who took part in the proceedings amount to Ps. 1.8 million. LLR lodged an appeal against the award for considering the amount excessively high. The auctioneer, in turn, lodged his appeal against the award for considering the amount excessively low. On November 26, the proceedings file was sent to the Court of Appeals. On November 29, 2010 the proceedings were brought to a settlement stage between the parties. On February 3, 2011 the Court of Appeals granted the appeal filed by LLR as regards the restatement of interest in the amount of US$ 659. As a result, the judgment rendered by the trial court was reversed and LLR’s debt was considered paid off as regards the settlement amount approved in the proceedings, with court costs being awarded to the plaintiff. Furthermore, the appeal remedy regarding fees awarded to the auctioneer, which were reduced from Ps.1.8 million to Ps.1.1 million.

Since LLR had a credit balance as regards the deposit made pursuant to settlement approved in the proceedings, on February 18, 2011 LLR filed a remedy for relief whereby it requested that the Court of Appeal issue a decision on the amount deposited in excess and order the eventual repayment to the defendant. The Court of Appeal ruled that the claim should be treated by the Court of original jurisdiction. Hence, the file was returned to the original Court. There, the auctioneer requested payment of the fees, which were decreased to Ps. 1.1 million plus VAT, after LLR’s appeal was favorable. LLR presented a proposal to pay the auctioneer’s fees settled, which will be withheld from the funds seized, from the freely disposable funds and from the funds invested in time deposits in dollars. Likewise, LLR requested professional fees to be settled and resolution of the pending clarifying remedy as to the amount deposited in excess.

Based on the information provided by the legal advisors litigating these proceedings, LLR has booked under “Other current liabilities – Payables to National Parks Administration”, the amount of fees described in the above paragraph.

  i. Puerto Retiro S.A.

On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. (indirect subsidiary of IRSA) 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 acquired real estate property from Tandanor S.A. in June 1993.

Indarsa had acquired 90% of the capital stock of Tandanor S.A. to a formerly estate owned company privatized in 1991, engaged in the shipyard industry.

Indarsa did not comply with the payment of the outstanding price for the acquisition of the stock of Tandanor, and therefore the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa, pursuing to extend the bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro S.A.

The evidence steps of the legal procedures have been completed. Puerto Retiro S.A. appealed the precautionary measure, being the same confirmed by the Court on December 14, 2000. The parties have submitted their claims in due time. The file was passed for the judge to issue a pronouncement, this being a decree adjourning the summoning of decisions to pronouncement in the understanding that there exists pre-judgment in respect of the penal cause filed against ex-officers of the Ministry of Defense and ex-directors of the Company. Consequently, the matter will not be solved until there is final judgment in penal jurisdiction.

The Management and legal advisors of Puerto Retiro S.A. estimate that there are legal and technical issues to consider that the request for bankruptcy will be denied by the court. However, taking the circumstances into account and the progress of the legal action, this position cannot be considered final.

 

  ii. Loan of Hoteles Argentinos S.A.

  2. Acquisition of Hersha Hospitality Trust (“Hersha”)

On August 4, 2009, the Company, through Real Estate Investment Group L.P. (REIG) acquired 5.7 million shares representing approximately 10.4% of Hersha´s common stock and a call option that matures on August 4, 2014 to purchase an additional 5.7 million shares at an exercise price of US$ 3.00 per share. Under the agreement, if starting on August 4, 2011 the quoted market price of Hersha´s share were to exceed US$ 5.00 per share during 20 consecutive trading sessions, Hersha may settle the call option by issuing and delivering a variable amount of shares to be determined in accordance with certain market values.

The total purchase price paid was US$ 14.3 million. As part of the agreement, the Company´s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, has been appointed to Hersha’s Board of Trustees.

In January, March and October 2010, the Company through its subsidiaries purchased 11,606,542 additional shares of Hersha’s common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of US$ 47.9 million (4,789,917 shares at US$ 3.00 per share; 3,864,000 at US$ 4.25 per share and 2,952,625 at US$5.80 per share, respectively).

During quarters ended on December 2010, March and June 2011, the Company through its subsidiaries sold 1,500,000; 738,800 and 303,579, common shares in Hersha, respectively for a total of US$ 16.1 million, which resulted in approximately US$ 11.5 million gain.

As of June 30, 2011 the Company´s direct and indirect interest in Hersha amounts to 9.18%. If the call option was exercised and the Company´s interest was not diluted due to newly issued shares, the Company´s interest in Hersha would be 12.13%. The Company accounts for its investment in Hersha at cost while the call option has been accounted for its fair value.

Hersha is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the “HT” symbol that holds majority interests in 78 hotels throughout the United States of America totaling approximately 10,443 rooms. These hotels are rated as “select service” and “upscale hotels” and they are mainly located in the Northeast coast of the US, including New York, New Jersey, Boston, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, whilst a few are located in northern California and some others in Arizona. These properties are operated under franchises that are leaders and enjoy widespread recognition in their markets, such as Marriot International, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Starwood Hotels, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Global Hyatt Corporation and Choice Hotels International.

  3. Acquisition of Lipstick Building, New York

In July 2008, the Company (through its subsidiaries) acquired a 30% interest in “Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue LLC” (“Metropolitan”), a Delaware-based limited liability company, which main asset (through its subsidiaries) was a rental office building in New York City known as the “Lipstick Building” and debt related to that asset. The transaction included the acquisition of (i) a put right exercisable until July 2011 to sell a 50% of the interest acquired at the same value paid plus interest at 4.5% per annum and (ii) a right of first offer to acquire a 60% portion of the 5% interest of the shareholding. The total price paid was US$ 22.6 million.

During 2009 and in the context of the financial crisis and shrinkage of the real estate market in New York, Metropolitan incurred in significant losses, which resulted in negative equity mainly due to an impairment recognized in connection with the building. Since the Company’s share in Metropolitan’s losses exceeded its equity interest; the Company recognized a zero value on its investment although a liability of US$ 1.5 million which represented the Company’s maximum commitment to fund Metropolitan’s operations.

In December 2010, the negotiations geared towards restructuring the amounts owed under mortgage to Royal Bank of Canada came to a successful conclusion. The debt was reduced from US$ 210.0 million to US$ 130.0 million (excluding accrued interest) at a Libor plus 400 basic points rate, which may not exceed a maximum rate of 6.25% and with a maturity date fixed at seven years. The junior indebtedness to Goldman, Sachs & Co., which had amounted to US$ 45.0 million (excluding accrued interest), was cancelled through a US$ 2.25 million payment.

Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold LLC (“Metropolitan Leasehold”) will maintain the existing ground leases in the same terms and conditions in which they had been initially agreed upon, for a remaining 66 years’ term. The final consent to this restructuring has already been tendered by all the parties concerned and the closing was consummated on December 30, 2010, as that is when the company New Lipstick LLC (“New Lipstick”), the new Metropolitan Leasehold holding company, made a US$ 15.0 million principal payment as repayment of the newly restructured mortgage debt, thus reducing it from US$ 130.0 million to US$ 115.0 million.

As a consequence of said closing, the Company has indirectly – through New Lipstick – increased its equity interest in the Lipstick Building to 49%. This increase originated in a US$ 15.3 million capital contribution and in the fact that the put option for 50% of the shareholding initially acquired in Metropolitan, which had amounted to approximately US$ 11.3 million plus accrued interest, has been rendered ineffectual. Besides, the above-mentioned commitment, for US$ 1.5 million, ceased to be in effect.

 

  4. Acquisition of shares in Banco Hipotecario S.A.

During the last fiscal years and in the current fiscal year, the Company has been conducting various purchase and sale transactions of BHSA shares, as a result of which, as of June 30, 2011, the Company´s ownership interest in BHSA is 29.77% of BHSA´s capital stock (without considering treasury shares).

 

  5. Acquisition of companies in the Oriental Republic of Uruguay

During the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2009, the Company (through Tyrus) acquired by a minimum payment a 100% ownership interest in Liveck S.A. (Liveck), a company organized under the laws of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay.

Simultaneously, Liveck acquired a 90% interest over the shares of the companies Zetol S.A. (Zetol) and Vista al Muelle S.A. (Vista al Muelle), both property owners in Uruguay’s Canelones Department. The remaining 10% ownership interest in the capital stock of both companies is held by Banzey S.A. (Banzey).

The Company and its shareholders intend to develop an urban project that will consist in the construction of apartment buildings to be subsequently sold. The project has already been conferred the “Urban Feasibility” status by Canelones’ Mayor’s Office and its Legislative Council.

The total price of the purchase of all the shares in Zetol had been fixed at US$ 7.0 million, of which US$ 2.0 million have already been paid, the outstanding balance is to be paid in 5 installments of US$ 1.0 million each plus an annual 3.5% compensatory interest rate calculated on the total outstanding amount and tied to the consummation of the release to the market of the real estate projects or within a maximum term of 93 months counted as from the date of acquisition of the Company. The sellers of the shares of Zetol may choose to receive, in lieu of the amounts outstanding in cash (principal plus interest), the ownership rights to the units to be built in the real estate owned by Zetol representative of 12% of the total marketable square meters built.

The price for the purchase and sale of all the shares in Vista al Muelle amounted to US$ 0.83 million, and accrued an annual 8% compensatory interest rate on the outstanding amounts. As of September 10, 2010, it was completely paid.

To guarantee compliance with the duties agreed by Liveck in the above transactions, Ritelco S.A. has tendered a surety bond guaranteeing payment of 45% of the outstanding balance, interest thereon and the option rights of the sellers.

In the framework of the agreement for the purchase and sale of Zetol and Vista al Muelle and their respective addenda, Liveck has agreed to buy the shares held by Banzey (or Ernesto Kimelman or a company owned by Ernesto Kimelman as the case may be), of Vista al Muelle and Zetol and the latter have agreed to sell them, in exchange for the amount of US Dollars or Uruguayan Pesos, as the case may be, that Ernesto Kimelman or Banzey or a company owned by Ernesto Kimelman (as applicable), would have actually contributed to Zetol and Vista al Muelle, until the execution of said purchase and sale.

The parties have agreed that the obligations mentioned above are dependent upon, and shall be rendered ineffectual if the parties entered into a shareholder agreement no later than July 1, 2011. If no such shareholder agreement is signed, this sale shall be executed and delivered on July 11, 2011.

Later, in June 2009, the Company sold 50% of its stake in Liveck to Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. for a price of US$ 1.3 million.

In December 2009, Vista al Muelle acquired other properties totaling US$ 2.7 million in exchange for a US$ 0.3 million down payment, with the balance to be cancelled through the delivery of home units and/or stores to be built and equivalent to 12% out of 65.54% of the sum of the prices of all of the units covered by the Launching Price List for Sector B (the parties have already signed a plat of subdivision to this end).

In February 2010, it acquired additional real estate for a total of US$ 1.0 million in exchange for a down payment of US$ 0.15 million with the balance to be paid in 3 consecutive and equal installments maturing on December 31, 2011, June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2014 and accruing an annual 3% interest rate on the outstanding balance, payable quarterly and on arrears as from December 31, 2009.

On December 17, 2010, the Company and Cyrela signed a stock purchase agreement whereby a 50% interest in Liveck’s capital stock was reacquired from Cyrela for US$ 2.7 million. This amount is equivalent to the contributions made in Liveck by Cyrela. Therefore, the Company’s interest in Liveck amounted to 100% (through Tyrus).

As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to hold Cyrela harmless in the event of claims asserted by Zetol’s sellers. Besides, if within a term of 24 months as from the date of the agreement Cyrela were not released from the guarantee tendered in favor of the above-mentioned sellers, the Company will be obliged to post a new guarantee in favor of Cyrela, equivalent to 45% of the price balance, interest thereon and the option rights to which Zetol’s sellers are entitled.

  2. Compensation plan for executive management

The Company has developed during the period ended June 30, 2007, the design of a capitalization program for the executive personnel by means of contributions that will be made by employees and by the Company.

That plan is aimed at certain employees that the Company chooses with the intention to maintain them, increasing its total compensation through an extraordinary reward provided certain circumstances are met.

Participation and contributions to the plan are voluntary. Once the beneficiary has accepted, two types of contributions may be made. One monthly contribution, based on the salary and one extraordinary contribution based on the annual bonus. The suggested contribution is up to 2.5% of the salary and up to 15% of the bonus. On the other hand, the Company’s contribution will be 200% of monthly contributions and 300% of employees’ extraordinary contributions.

Proceeds from the contributions made by participants are transferred to an independent financial vehicle, especially organized and located in Argentina as Investment Fund approved by the National Securities Commission (CNV). Such funds are freely redeemable at the participant’s request.

Proceeds from the contributions made by the Company are transferred to another financial vehicle independent of and separate from the previous one. In the future, participants will have access to 100% of the plan benefits (i.e. including the Company’s contributions made in favor of the financial vehicle created ad hoc) under the following circumstances:

 

   

Regular retirement under applicable labor regulations

 

   

Full or permanent disability or incapacity

 

   

Demise

In the case of resignation or dismissal without just cause, the participant will obtain the amount resulting from the Company’s contributions only if they have participated in the plan for a minimum five-year term subject to certain conditions.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, contributions paid by the Company amount to Ps. 2,454 and Ps. 2,477.

  3. Compulsory expropriation order of the lot owned by Canteras Natal Crespo S.A.

On April 8, 2011, Canteras Natal Crespo S.A. (Canteras) and Caminos de las Sierras S.A. (Caminos) subscribed an agreement by means of which Canteras granted Caminos an occupation permit and the possession over a piece of land of approximately 2 ha. 8,250 square meters (portion), located on provincial road E-55 in the province of Córdoba, so that Caminos performed the works necessary for the toll road, based on the Concession agreement subscribed with the provincial Government.

With the aim of completely and adequately affecting the area to road works to be performed by Caminos, the land will be subject to the Compulsory Expropriation Regime ruled by Provincial Act No. 6,394 and its complementary rulings. The management and fulfillment of all the requirements provided by this Act will be exclusively in charge of Caminos, who shall start the proceedings within ninety (90) days as from the date of subscription of the Agreement.

The appraisal of the piece of land will be in charge of the provincial General Appraisal Council (Council) or the organization and/or entity established to replace it. Caminos has committed to the payment of compensation resulting from the appraisal performed by the Council plus 10% of the amount (compensation). As advance payment, Caminos gave the amount of Ps. 0.8 million. Once the appraisal is performed, Caminos shall pay Canteras the positive difference resulting from the compensation and the advances. The payment term shall be ninety (90) days from the Council’s resolution. Should the compensation be less than the amount advanced by Caminos, the amount already collected by Canteras will automatically be the final value for the piece of land and the existing difference shall be considered as repayment for the damages immediately and directly derived from the expropriation. As of the date these financial statements were issued, Canteras had granted Caminos the possession of the piece of land.

 

  4. Negative working capital

At the end of the period the Company had posted a Ps. 260,577 deficit in its working capital. The treatment to be afforded to this situation is currently being considered by the Board and the Company’s Management.

On August 12, 1996 Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. (merged into Shopping Alto Palermo S.A. as from January 1 st, 2009), executed an agreement with NAI INTERNATIONAL II, INC.

As stated in the occupation agreement related to the loan agreement, the amounts due are set off against payments generated by the occupation held by NAI INTERNATIONAL II, INC. of the building and the area known as cinema. The agreement provides that if after October, 2027, there still is an unpaid balance of the loan plus respective interest thereon, the agreement will be extended for a final term established as the shorter of the term required to fully repay the unpaid loan amount, or ten years.

If the last term has elapsed and there still is an unpaid balance, APSA will be released from any and all obligation to pay the outstanding debt.

On July 1st, 2002 an amendment to the agreement was established, whose most important resolutions are as follows:

 

   

The outstanding debt was de-dollarized (Ps. 1 = US$ 1).

 

   

An antichresis right was created and it was established that all obligations assumed by Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. under the agreement by which the normal use and operation of the cinema center is warranted to NAI INTERNATIONAL II, INC., including those obligations involving restrictions on the use or title to property by Empalme S.A.I.C.F.A. y G. or third parties, shall be comprised in the previously mentioned real right.

Principal owed as of June 30, 2011, and unpaid interest accrued through that date, due to the original loan agreement and respective amendments are disclosed under Customers advances – Lease advances together with other advances not included in this agreement.

  2. Neuquén Project

The main asset of Shopping Neuquén S.A., controlled by APSA, is a plot of land of 50,000 square meters approximately, in which a mixed use center would be built. The project includes the building of a shopping center, cinemas, a hypermarket, apartments, private hospital and other compatible purposes.

On December 13, 2006, Shopping Neuquén S.A. entered into an agreement with the Municipality of Neuquén and with the Province of Neuquén by which, mainly, the terms to carry out the commercial and residential venture were rescheduled and authorized Shopping Neuquén S.A. to transfer to third parties the title to the plots of land into which the property is divided, provided that it is not that one on which the shopping center will be built.

Such agreement put an end to the case “Shopping Neuquén S.A. vs. Municipalidad de Neuquén in re: procedural administrative action”, lodged at the High Court of Neuquén. Lawyers’ fees shall be borne by the company, which although they have been established are not yet final.

On April 15, 2011, Shopping Neuquén S.A. entered into an agreement with Gensar S.A. whereby the latter has the right to acquire one of the plots of land that form part of a commercial undertaking of mixed use next to which Shopping Neuquén S.A. is building a shopping center. In this plot of 14,792.68 square meters, Gensar S.A. agreed to build and operate a hypermarket that initially will be of the Coto chain. To such effect, Gensar S.A. has taken possession of the above indicated plot of land.

As of the date these financial statements are issued, the Municipality has not yet rendered a decision on purchase sale contract indicated above. As a result, pursuant to the provisions that require prior control on potential conveyance deeds of plots of lands by the Municipality, such title conveyance deeds have yet to be executed. Consequently, in accordance with the provisions of the special regime by means of which the Town Hall previously controls eventual deed of lands, the deed has not yet been executed.

 

  3. Contributed leasehold improvements – Other liabilities

In March 1996, Village Cinema S.A. inaugurated ten multiplex system cinema theatres, with an approximate surface of 4,100 square meters. This improvement of the building of Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A. was capitalized with a balancing entry as a fixed asset, recognizing the depreciation charges and the profits over a 50-year period. The lease is for a time limit of 10 years to be renewed every four equivalent and consecutive periods, at the option of Village Cinema S.A.. At year end, the amount pending of accrual is disclosed under Other liabilities – contributed leasehold improvements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

In thousands of pesos

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

 

  1.1 Preparation and presentation of financial statements

These financial statements are stated in thousands of Argentine pesos and were prepared in accordance with disclosure and valuation criteria contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas, approved with certain amendments by the Consejo Profesional de Ciencias Económicas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, in accordance with the resolutions issued by the National Securities Commission.

 

  1.2 Use of estimates

The preparation for financial statements requires the Company’s Management, at a specific date, 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. The Company’s Management makes estimations to calculate, for example, the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, the impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes, contingencies allowances, fair value of assets acquired in a business combination, the fulfillment of certain conditions for valuation of inventories to its net realizable value and fair value of transaction of exchanges (barters). Future actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions made at the date of these financial statements.

 

  1.3 Recognition of the effects of inflation

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

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

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.3 (Continued)

 

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

 

  1.4. Comparative information

Balances items as of June 30, 2010 shown in these financial statements for comparative purposes arise from audited annual financial statements for the year then ended.

The financial statements as of June 30, 2010 originally issued have been subject to certain reclassifications required in order to present these figures comparatively with those stated as of June 30, 2011.

 

  1.5 Significant accounting polices

 

  a. Cash and banks

Cash on hand has been valued at face value.

 

  b. Foreign currency assets and liabilities

Foreign currency assets and liabilities were valued at each year end exchange rates.

Operations denominated in foreign currency are converted into pesos at the exchange rates in effect at the date of settlement of the operation.

 

  c. Current investments

Current investments in equity and debt securities and mutual funds were valued at their net realizable value.

 

  d. Accounts receivable, net and trade accounts payable.

Accounts receivable, net and trade accounts payable have been valued at nominal value. Values obtained by this do not differ significantly from those that had been valued at the estimated 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.

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.5 (Continued)

 

  e. Financial receivables and payables

Financial receivables and payables have been valued at nominal value plus accrued interest at the end of the year. Values obtained by this do not differ significantly from those that had been valued at the amount deposited and collected, respectively, net of the cost of the transaction, plus financial results accrued based on the internal rate of return estimated at the time of initial recognition.

 

  f. Other receivables and liabilities

Other receivables and other liabilities have been valued at face value plus the financial results accrued at the closing of the corresponding year. The figures thus obtained are not significantly different from those that would have been obtained if valued on the basis of the best possible estimate of the amounts receivable and payable, respectively, discounted by application of a rate that reflects the time value of money and the specific risks inherent in the transaction as estimated at the time of recognizing the item in assets and liabilities, respectively.

Certain receivables and liabilities disclosed under other non-current receivables and liabilities, were valued based on the best estimate of the amount receivable and payable, respectively, discounted at an interest rate that reflect the value-time of money and the estimate specific transaction risks at the time of incorporation to assets and liabilities, respectively.

As established by the regulations of the accounting professional standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities and minimum presumed income tax (MPIT) have not been discounted.

 

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

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

  1.5. (Continued)

 

  h. Inventories

A property is classified as inventories 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.

Properties classified as inventories have been valued at acquisition or construction cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., or estimated market value, whichever is lower. Costs include land and land improvements, direct construction costs, construction overhead costs, financial costs and real estate taxes.

Inventories on which advance payments that establish price have been received, and the operation’s contract terms and conditions assure that the sale will be effectively accomplished and that the income will be realized, are valued at its net realizable value. Profits arising from such valuation are shown in the “Gain from recognition of inventories at net realizable value” caption of the Statements of Income.

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.

The amount recorded in inventories, net of allowances set up, does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at the end of the year.

 

   

Units to be received

The Company has rights to receive certain property units to be built, which have been valued according to the accounting measuring standards corresponding to inventories receivables (the price established in the deed or net realizable value, as applicable) and there have been disclosed under “Inventories”.

  i. Non-current 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.

 

   

Investments in subsidiaries and equity investments:

Non current investments in subsidiaries and equity investments have been valued by using the equity method of accounting based on the financial statements issued by them. The accounting standards used by the subsidiaries and related companies to prepare their financial statements are similar to the ones used by the Company.

This item includes the lower or higher value paid for the purchase of shares in subsidiaries and affiliated companies assignable to the assets acquired, and goodwill related to the subsidiaries and affiliated companies acquired.

 

   

Banco Hipotecario S.A. and Banco de Crédito & Securitización S.A.:

The financial statements of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and Banco de Crédito & Securitización S.A. are prepared in accordance with the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (“BCRA”) standards. For the purpose of the valuation of the investment in the Company, adjustments necessary to adequate the financial statements to the professional accounting standards have been considered.

  i. (Continued)

 

Land held for development and sale and improvements are stated at cost restated as mentioned in Note 1.3. or market value, whichever is lower.

Land and land improvements are transferred to inventories or fixed assets when their trade is decided or commences its construction.

The values of non-current investments thus obtained, do not exceed their respective estimated recoverable values at the end of the year.

 

  j. Fixed assets, net

Fixed assets comprise primarily of rental properties and other properties 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 year.

 

   

Rental properties:

Rental properties are carried at acquisition and/or construction cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment at the end of the year. The Company capitalizes the financial accrued costs associated with long-term construction projects.

Depreciation was computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset applying annual rates in order to extinguish their values at the end of its useful life. The Company revise the useful life of the assets periodically.

The Company has allowances for impairment of certain rental properties as disclosed in Exhibit A. Increases and decreases of such allowances are disclosed in Exhibit E.

Significant renewals 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 Statements of Income.

Other properties and equipment:

Other properties and equipment properties are carried at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 1.3., less accumulated depreciation at the end of the year. Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as specified below:

 

Assets

  

Estimated useful life (years)

Leasehold improvements

   On contract basis

Furniture and fixtures

   10

Vehicles

     5

Machinery and equipment

   10

Computer equipment

     3

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.

 

  k. Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets mainly corresponds to expenses that the Company avoids incurring as a result of acquiring effective rent contracts and the estimated costs of entering into rent contracts acquired (see Note 1.5.I.). These are shown net of their accumulated amortization.

Intangible assets are amortized during the average initial remaining useful life of the rent contracts acquired.

The value of these assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value as of year end.

  1.5. (Continued)

 

  l. Business combinations

Significant entities or net asset acquired by the Company were recorded in line with the “purchased method” set forth in Technical Resolution No. 18 and Technical Resolution No. 21. All assets and liabilities acquired to third independent parties were adjusted to show their fair value. The Company identified the assets and liabilities acquired, that included intangible assets such as: lease agreements acquired for prices and terms that are either higher or lower than in the market; costs of executing and delivering the lease agreements in force (costs that the Company avoids incurring as a result of acquiring effective lease agreements); the value of acquired brands, the value of any deposits associated to the investment and the intangible value inherent to customer relations

The process of identification and the determination of the purchase price paid is a matter that requires complex judgments and significant estimates.

The Company uses the information contained in valuations estimated by independent appraisers as primary base for assigning the price paid for the land, buildings and shopping centers. The amounts assigned to all the other assets and liabilities are based on independent valuations or on the Company´s own analysis on comparable assets and liabilities.

If the price paid is larger than the value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as identified, the excess is considered to be goodwill.

 

  m. Debt issuance costs

Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of debt are amortized over the life of the related issuances. In the case of redemption or conversion of these notes, the related expenses are amortized using the accelerated depreciation method.

Amortization has been recorded under “Financial results and holding gain/loss, net” in the Statements of Income as a greater financing expense.

 

  n. Customer advances

Customer advances represent payments received in connection with the sale and rent of properties and has been valued according to the amount of money received.

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

  1.5. (Continued)

 

  o. 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 15).

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 financial statements.

 

  p. MPIT

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

The Company has recognized MPIT accrued in the period and paid in previous years as credit, because the Company estimates that in the future years it may be computable as prepayment of income tax.

 

  q. Allowances and Provisions

Changes in provisions are showed in Exhibit E

 

   

Allowance for doubtful accounts:

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 calculated based on an individual analysis of the recoverability of the accounts receivable. The estimate of the amount and the possibility of fulfillment are made considering the opinion of the legal counsels. When it comes to its mortgage-secured receivables, the Company applies the collateral’s realization value upon analyzing the recoverability of receivables with hints of uncollectibility.

  q. (Continued)

 

While Management uses the information available to make assessments, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the assessments. Management has considered all events and/or transactions that are subject to reasonable and normal methods of estimations, and the financial statements reflect that consideration.

 

   

For impairment of assets:

The Company regularly asses its non-current assets for recoverability at the end of every year.

The Company has estimated the recoverable value of rental properties based on their economic use value, which is determined based on estimated future cash flows discounted. For the rest of the assets (inventories and undeveloped parcels of land) the Company makes a comparison with market values based on values of comparable properties. If the recoverable value of assets, which had been impaired in prior years, increases, the Company records the corresponding reversals of impairment loss as required by accounting standards.

 

   

For lawsuits:

The Company has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor issues. 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 an effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

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

  r. Shareholders’ equity accounts

Amounts of shareholders’ equity accounts have been restated following the guidelines detailed in Note 1.3. until February 28, 2003. Subsequent movements are stated in the currency of the month to which they correspond.

“Common stock” account was stated at historical nominal value. The difference between value stated in constant currency, following the guidelines detailed in Note 1.3., and historical nominal value is shown under “Inflation adjustment of common stock”.

Cumulative translation adjustment corresponds to exchange rate differences generated by investments in foreign companies classified as non-integrated to the Company’s transactions.

 

  s. Profit and loss accounts

The profit and loss for the year are shown as follows:

Amounts included in Statements of Income 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 subsidiary and equity investments were 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 Resolution No. 21.

  t. Revenue recognition

 

  1. Sales of properties

The Company records revenue from the sale of properties 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.

 

   

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. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs according to budgeted costs. The Company does not recognize results until 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.

 

  2. Revenues from leases

Revenues from leases are recognized considering its terms and conditions and over the life of the related lease contracts.

 

  u. Cash and cash equivalents

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

  v. Negative Goodwill, net

Goodwill has been restated following the guidelines mentioned in Note 1.3. and amortization has been calculated by the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life, considering the weighted-average of the remaining useful life of identifiable assets acquired subject to depreciation.

 

  w. Dividends

IRSA’s Board of Directors decided that its dividend policy shall consist in the distribution, pro rata amongst the Shareholders, of an amount equivalent to the highest of a) up to twenty per cent (20%) of revenues posted by the “Offices and others” segment that comes from the Net Operating Income by Business Segment as of June 30 of each year (Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements) or b) up to twenty per cent (20%) of net income as of June 30 of each year. This policy requires that the Company must at all times abide by the covenants imposed on it by virtue of its financial commitments.

 

  x. Financial Derivatives Instruments

The Company uses certain financial instruments as a supplement to reduce financing costs. The Company is not engaged in trading or any other speculative use of financial instruments.

A breakdown of the Company’s transactions with financial derivatives is included in Note 22.

The resulting assets and/or liabilities have been valued at their net realizable value and/or estimated settlement cost at the end of the fiscal year.

(1) In July 2008, the Company and Cyrsa executed and delivered a barter deed for US$ 12.6 million whereby the Company conveyed to Cyrsa a plot of land in the Caballito neighborhood. In turn, Cyrsa agreed to conduct a real estate development in that plot for the construction of homes. As consideration, Cyrsa would pay 25% of the units making up the buildings to be constructed in the plot. To guarantee compliance with its obligations, Cyrsa mortgaged the land for the amount of US$ 12.6 million in favor of the Company.

On December 17, 2010, the Company and Cyrsa executed an agreement whereby they extinguished the obligations arising from the barter agreement dated June 30, 2008 and the title deed dated July 31, 2008. The Company thus considers that the first mortgage set up to guarantee the obligations taken on by Cyrsa has been cancelled whilst Cyrsa conveys full title over the property bartered, which has been recognized at its original book value.

 

(2) See Note 16.13

 

(3) In May 2006, Koad S.A. (“Koad”) and the Company entered into an asset exchange agreement valued at US$ 7.5 million pursuant to which the Company delivered to Koad a parcel in Caballito for the construction of a building complex to be named “Caballito Nuevo.” As consideration therefore, Koad S.A. made a down payment of US$ 0.05 million and agreed to cancel the US$ 7.4 million balance by delivering 118 apartments and 55 parking spaces. To secure this transaction, Koad raised a US$ 7.5 million mortgage on the parcel that constitutes its subject matter and posted a surety bond for US$ 1.0 million. On October 15, 2010, Koad conveyed to IRSA full title, possession and ownership over the units agreed in the barter deed and the security interests that had been set up in that respect were cancelled.

Preliminary sales agreements were signed for 80 units to be received. With these units recognized at net realizable value, this transaction generated gain of Ps. 5,790 as of June 30, 2011 and Ps. 4,839 during the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011 the sale had been perfected upon execution of the deed of conveyance of 95 units and 37 parking spaces for which the respective preliminary sales agreements had been signed.

 

(4) In March 2004, the Company sold (through subsidiaries) a parcel in Benavidez to Desarrolladora El Encuentro S.A. (DEESA) in exchange for (i) US$ 1.0 million in cash and (ii) 110 residential lots in the parcel to be subdivided by DEESA for US$ 3 million. On December 22, 2009 DEESA delivered the residential lots. In addition preliminary sales agreements have been signed for 16 units. With these units recognized at net realizable value, this transaction generated gain of Ps. 3,732 as of June 30, 2011 and Ps. 1,044 during the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2010. Title deeds have been drawn for the sale of a further 61 units.

The Company in accordance with the accounting standards (See Res. Gral. CNV 485/05 y 487/06) has decided not to recognize the deferred income tax liability generated by the effect of the adjustment for inflation on the fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. The estimated effect as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements that the adoption of this criteria would have generated would be a decrease in shareholders’ equity of approximately Ps. 134.1 million which should be recorded in the retained earnings for Ps. 120.1 million (loss) and in the income statement accounts of the fiscal year Ps. 14.0 million (loss). This effect includes those generated by subsidiaries.

The above-mentioned liability would probably be reverted according to the detail that follows:
