PART III
NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima (“IRSA” or the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended on June 30, 2015 (the “Form 20-F”) by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense for the following reasons:

(i)                           On October 9, 2015, IRSA filed before the SEC a request of relief from the requirement to present full financial statements audited under U.S. GAAS of an associate accounted for using the fair value option on Form 20-F, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, based on the fact that the Company was unable to force its associate, IDBD Holdings Corporation Ltd. (“IDBD”) to provide audited financial statements following such standards. In lieu of the required information IRSA offered to present full financial statements audited under Israel GAAS, which are already available. On October 29, 2015, IRSA received a response from the staff of the SEC denying IRSA’s request. Consequently, IRSA will need additional time to request and obtain the US GAAS audit report for IDBD.

(ii)                         As previously reported by way of a filing on Form 6-K on October 27, 2015, IRSA is currently analyzing the impact of certain ruling passed by the Tel Aviv Jaffo Court with regards to its indirect holding in IDBD in its accounts, which could impact the valuation of our investment in IDBD and the valuation of the related derivative liability for the tender offer of IDBD shares  to be included in IRSA’s Annual Report on Form 20-F. Currently, the reported amounts for our investment in IDBD is Ps 1,757.10 million and the related derivative liability is Ps 500.58  million.

IRSA anticipates that it will be able to file a complete version of the Form 20-F (except that it will not be able to file financial statements of its associate audited under U.S. GAAS which will be filed on a subsequent date), within the fifteen-calendar-day grace period granted by Rule 12b-25, and declares that it will file such form as promptly as practicable.

Revenues for fiscal year 2015 were 19.6% higher than in fiscal year 2014, mainly due to a 28.6% increase in the “Shopping Centers” segment which continues to show a solid positive trend and “Offices and Other” and “Hotels” segments which recorded increases of 22.7% and 19.5%, respectively, in their revenues as compared to fiscal year 2014, offset by lower revenues from the “International” segment, due to the sale of the Madison building closed in September 2014.

The Company’s Operating Income grew by 103.3%%, reaching ARS 2,515.4 million, mainly due to the sales of the Madison 183 building in the City of New York recorded during the first quarter of 2015 and the sale of several office floors in Maipú 1300, Libertador 498, Bouchard Plaza and Intercontinental Plaza buildings recorded during the second and fourth quarters of 2015. Excluding the effect of these sales and the reversion of the conversion reserve generated in Rigby 183 due to the sale of Madison for ARS 188.3 million, the Company’s Operating Income grew 16.2% during fiscal year 2015 as compared to the previous year, reaching ARS 1,164.3 million.

Net income for the Fiscal Year was ARS 650.6 million in 2015, compared to a net loss of ARS 831.6 million in 2014, mainly due to higher operating income resulting from higher sales of investment properties and lower financial losses from our investment in IDBD, which is valued at market value, reflecting the recovery of its stock price.
