DISCLAIMER REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements.

This annual report includes forward-looking statements, principally under the captions “Summary”, “Item 3.D. Risk Factors”, “Item 4. Information on the Company” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current beliefs, expectations and projections about future events and financial trends affecting our business. Many important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this annual report, could cause our actual results to differ substantially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements, including, among other things:

changes in general economic, business, political, legal, social or other conditions in Argentina or elsewhere in Latin America or in Israel or changes in developed or emerging markets;

changes in capital markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes toward lending to Argentina or Argentine companies;

inflation and deflation;

fluctuations in prevailing interest rates;

current and future government regulation;

adverse legal or regulatory disputes or proceedings;

fluctuations and declines in the value of Argentine public debt;

political events, civil strife and armed conflicts;

government intervention in the private sector, including through nationalization, expropriation, labor regulation or other actions;

restrictions on transfer of foreign currencies;

competition in the shopping center sector, office or other commercial properties and related industries;

potential loss of significant tenants at our shopping centers, offices or other commercial properties;

our ability to timely transact in the real estate market in Argentina or Israel;

our ability to meet our debt obligations;

shifts in consumer purchasing habits and trends;

technological changes and our potential inability to implement new technologies;

deterioration in regional, national or global businesses and economic conditions;

fluctuations and declines in the exchange rate of the Peso and the NIS against other currencies;

risks related to our investment in Israel; and

the risk factors discussed under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors”.

The words “believe”, “may”, “will”, “aim”, “estimate”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “expect”, “forecast”, “foresee”, “understand” and similar other words identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward-looking statements after we distribute this annual report because of new information, future events or other factors. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this annual report might not occur and are not guarantees of future performance.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has established two operations centers to manage its global business, “Operations Center in Argentina” and “Operations Center in Israel.”

You should not place undue reliance on such statements which speak only as of the date that they were made. These cautionary statements should be considered in connection with any written or oral forward-looking statements that we may issue in the future.

CERTAIN MEASUREMENTS AND TERMS

As used throughout this annual report, the terms “IRSA”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, except where we make clear that such terms refer only to the parent company.

In Argentina the standard measure of area in the real estate market is the square meter (m2), while in the United States and certain other jurisdictions the standard measure of area is the square foot (sq. ft.). All units of area shown in this annual report (e.g., gross leasable area of buildings (or “GLA”) and size of undeveloped land) are expressed in terms of square meters. One square meter is equal to approximately 10.764 square feet. One hectare is equal to approximately 10,000 square meters and to approximately 2.47 acres.

As used herein: “GLA” or “gross leasable area”, in the case of shopping centers, refers to the total leasable area of the property, regardless of our ownership interest in such property (excluding common areas and parking and space occupied by supermarkets, hypermarkets, gas stations and co-owners, except where specifically stated).

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER INFORMATION

This annual report contains our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 for our fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 (our “Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”). Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein have been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L. City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, member of PriceWaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm whose report is included herein.

Pursuant to Resolution N° 562/09 issued by the Argentine Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”), as subsequently amended by Resolution N° 576/10, and further amended and restated by Resolution N° 622/13 (the “CNV Rules”), all listed companies in Argentina with certain exceptions (i.e., financial institutions and insurance entities) were required to present their consolidated financial statements for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Therefore, in 2013 we prepared for the first time our Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS for our financial year ended June 30, 2013, which included comparative financial information for the year ended June 30, 2012. All IFRS issued by the IASB effective at the time of preparing the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied. The opening IFRS statement of financial position was prepared as of our transition date of July 1, 2011.

On October 11, 2015, the Company, through its subsidiaries, obtained control of IDB Development Corporation (“IDBD”). IDBD’s fiscal year ends on December 31 each year and the Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30. IDBD’s quarterly and annual reporting follows the guidelines of Israeli accounting standards, which means that the information is only available to IRSA after the applicable statutory periods expire. Therefore, the Company has started to consolidate IDBD’s results of operations with a three-month lag, adjusted for the effects of material transactions that may have taken place during the reported period. Hence, IDBD’s results of operations for the period beginning on October 11, 2015 (the date the Company obtained control of IDBD) through March 31, 2016, are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, adjusted by such material transactions that occurred between April 1 and June 30, 2016, mainly due to the decrease of the market price of Clal’s shares and the impact of such decrease in our registration of the investment in Clal.

Given the materiality of IDBD’s results on the Company’s consolidated results, the Company had to make changes on the presentation format of its financial information for ease of analysis. The most significant change is in line with the new organizational structure, which was split into two large operations centers in Argentina and Israel. In this regard, changes have been made to certain notes and tables and their respective order, classification and content, on a geographic basis and taking into consideration the significance of the Company’s global operations following IDBD’s consolidation.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has established two Operations Centers to manage its global business, mainly through the following companies:

MARKET DATA

Market data used throughout this annual report was derived from reports prepared by unaffiliated third-party sources. Such reports generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed by such sources to be reliable.

Certain amounts which appear in this annual report (including percentage amounts) may not sum due to rounding.

In this annual report where we refer to “Peso”, “Pesos”, “ARS” or “Ps.” we mean Argentine Pesos, the lawful currency in Argentina; when we refer to “U.S. dollars,” or “U.S.$” we mean United States Dollars, the lawful currency of the United States of America, when we refer to “NIS”, we mean New Israel Shekels, the lawful currency of Israel; and when we refer to “Central Bank” we mean the Argentine Central Bank.

Solely for the convenience of the reader, we have translated certain Peso amounts into U.S. dollars at the offer exchange rate quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina for June 30, 2016, which was Ps.15.04=U.S.$1.00. We have also translated certain NIS amounts into U.S. dollars at the offer exchange rate for June 30, 2016 which was NIS 3.8575=U.S.$1.00. We make no representation that the Peso, NIS or U.S. dollar amounts actually represent or could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rates indicated, at any particular rate or at all.

ITEM 1. IDENTITY OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND ADVISERS

This item is not applicable.

ITEM 2. OFFER STATISTICS AND EXPECTED TIMETABLE

This item is not applicable.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

A. Selected Consolidated Financial Data

The following selected consolidated financial data has been derived from our consolidated financial statements as of the dates and for each of the periods indicated below. This information should also be read in conjunction with our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8. “Financial Information” and the discussion in Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”. The selected Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income data for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and the selected consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 have been derived from our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report which have been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm.

On October 11, 2015, we acquired control of IDBD. In conformity with IFRS 3, IDBD’s information is included in our financial statements since the acquisition date, without affecting the information from previous years. Therefore, the consolidated financial information for periods after the acquisition date is not comparable to previous periods. For more information see Item 5. “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects−Factors Affecting Comparability of our Results.”

LOCAL EXCHANGE MARKET AND EXCHANGE RATES

During 2001 and 2015, Argentine government had established a series of exchange control measures that restricted the free disposition of funds and the transfer of funds abroad. To 2011, the Argentine government had significantly curtailed access to foreign exchange by individuals and private sector entities, making it necessary, among other things, to obtain prior approval from the Central Bank to enter into certain foreign exchange transactions such as payments relating to royalties, services or fees payable to related parties of Argentine companies outside Argentina.

With the change of government, and political color, in December 2015, one of the first measures taken by the Argentine government was to lift the principal restrictions that limited access to individuals to foreign exchange market. In this connection, Communication “A” 5850 of the Central Bank admitted again the possibility for individuals to have access to the local market, however, up to a certain amount of money. As local economy became stable in Argentina, and local markets reopened to foreign commerce, the Central Bank issued on August 2016 Communication “A” 6037 that lifted all remaining limitations. Nowadays, all individuals have unrestrictive access to the local exchange market, according to the conditions and procedures that are explained in this document.

The following table shows the maximum, minimum, average and closing exchange rates for each period applicable to purchases of U.S. dollars.

Although exchange control regulations were lifted on August 2016, certain regulations regarding the registration, disbursement, payment of principal and interest and prepayments, among other exchange control measures related to foreign indebtedness, remain in place, and we cannot give you any assurance that additional exchange control regulations will not be adopted in the future. See “Risk Factors— Risks Relating to Argentina—Exchange controls and restrictions on transfers abroad and capital inflow restrictions have been limited in the past and may limit the availability of international credit.”

Exchange controls regulations currently in effect in Argentina include those described below.

Registration Requirements

A debtor must inform the Central Bank of any foreign indebtedness (financial and commercial) it incurs and must register and validate such indebtedness in accordance with Communication “A” 3602. Compliance with such information with the Central Bank is required in order to enable such debtor to purchase foreign currency in the Argentine foreign exchange market for the purpose of servicing such foreign indebtedness, among others.

In addition, all new foreign indebtedness of Argentine residents, as well as any refinancing of existing foreign debt, must provide that principal repayments thereunder are subject to a 120-day waiting period in which principal cannot be paid.

Disbursements

Pursuant to Communication “A” 5850, Argentine residents are no longer obliged to settle proceeds received from foreign indebtedness through the local exchange market. According to Communication “A” 6037, Argentine residents will have access to the local exchange money also at the time of repayment of principal and interests. Principal and Interest Payments

Foreign currency necessary to pay principal and interest on foreign indebtedness, according to Communication “A” 5850 and Communication “A” 6037 can be purchased in the local exchange market.

Corporate Profits and Dividends

Pursuant to foreign exchange regulations, Argentine companies may freely access the MULC for remittances abroad to pay earnings and dividends in-so-far as they arise from closed and fully audited balance sheets and have satisfied applicable certification requirements.

Restrictions on Foreign Indebtedness

In June 2005, the Argentine government imposed certain additional restrictions on inflows and outflows of foreign currency to the Argentine foreign exchange market through Decree No. 616/2005 as amended and supplemented by Resolution 3/2015, such as:

Minimum Term of Indebtedness

Financial indebtedness incurred by Argentine residents with foreign creditors (including refinancing of existing indebtedness) must be agreed upon and cancelled within terms of no less than 120 calendar days (waiting period), whatever the form of repayment thereof. Additionally, no prepayment of such indebtedness may be made prior to the expiration of such term, irrespective of the payment method and whether or not termination entails the execution of a foreign exchange trade in the local market.

Local Bank Account

The results of inflows in the local exchange market required to be credited in an account opened by a local financial entity, which can be denominated in either local or foreign currency.

No Restrictions on Residents on the Purchase of Foreign Currency

Other Exchange Control Measures

Subject to certain conditions, Central Bank regulations allow the purchase of foreign currency in the Argentine foreign exchange market for purposes of making payments on account of financial derivatives.

D. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this annual report, before making an investment decision. We also may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or which as of the date of this annual report we might not consider significant, which may adversely affect our business. In general, you take more risk when you invest in securities of issuers in emerging markets, such as Argentina, than when you invest in securities of issuers in the United States, and certain other markets. You should understand that an investment in our common shares and Global Depository Shares (“GDSs”) involves a high degree of risk, including the possibility of loss of your entire investment.

Risks Relating to Argentina

We depend on macroeconomic and political conditions in Argentina.

We are exposed to economic conditions in Argentina, considering that as of the date of this annual report, substantially all of our assets were located in Argentina and all of our activities are conducted in Argentina. The Argentine economy has experienced significant volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or negative growth, high levels of inflation and currency devaluation, and may experience further volatility in the future.

The ongoing economic slowdown suggests uncertainty as to whether the economic growth experienced in the past decade is sustainable. This is mainly because economic growth was initially dependent on a significant devaluation of the Peso, excess production capacity resulting from a long period of deep recession and high commodity prices. Furthermore, the economy has suffered from a sustained erosion of direct investment and capital investment. After the 2001 economic crisis, Argentina recovered with significant increases in gross domestic product (“GDP”) at an average of 8.5% on an annual basis between 2003 and 2008. As a result of the 2008 global financial crisis, Argentina GDP’s growth rate decreased to 0.9% in 2009, though growth rebounded to 9.2% in 2010 and 8.9% in 2011. During 2012, the Argentine economy experienced a slowdown, with GDP increasing at a rate of 1.9%. In March 2014, the Argentine government announced a new method of calculating GDP as requested by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) (using 2004 as the base year instead of 1993, which was the base reference year used in the prior method of GDP calculation). Following changes in the methodology used in calculating GDP, the National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos or “INDEC” as per its acronym in Spanish) reported that Argentina’s GDP’s growth rate for 2013 was 3%, 0.5% for 2014, this decrease was principally due to the deceleration of the global economy and prevailing macroeconomic conditions in Argentina during 2014, and 2.3% for 2015. As of July 31, 2016, the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator (Estimador Mensual de Actividad Económica, or the “EMAE”) decreased 5.9%, relative to the same period in the prior year, according to data published by the INDEC. Argentina’s relative stability since 2002 has been affected by increased social and political tension and government intervention in the economy.

Our business depends to a significant extent on macroeconomic and political conditions in Argentina. In early December 2015 Mr. Mauricio Macri, was elected in Argentina. The President is expected, that hindered economic worth to continue promoting legal measures to reverse some of the previous presidential administrations, especially economic policies and exchange control regulations. However, until any changes in laws and regulations are enacted, we are uncertain how any such changes may affect our business and results of operations. Deterioration of the country’s economy would likely have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There are concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation statistics.

In January 2007, the INDEC began to calculate the CPI, based on the monthly average of a weighted basket of consumer goods and services to reflect the pattern of consumption of Argentine households. At the time that the INDEC adopted this change in methodology the Argentine government also replaced several key officers at the INDEC, prompting complaints of governmental interference from the technical staff at the INDEC. In addition, the IMF requested a number of times that INDEC clarify its methodology for measuring inflation rates.

On November 23, 2010, the Argentine government began consulting with the IMF for technical assistance in order to prepare a new national CPI data with the aim of modernizing the current statistical system. During the first quarter of 2011, a team from the IMF started collaborating with the INDEC in order to create such an index. Notwithstanding such efforts, reports published by the IMF stated that its staff also used alternative measures of inflation for macroeconomic surveillance, including data produced by private sources, and such measures have shown inflation rates that are considerably higher than those published by the INDEC since 2007. Consequently, the IMF called on Argentina to adopt measures to improve the quality of data used by the INDEC. At a meeting held on February 1, 2013, the Executive Board of the IMF emphasized that the progress in implementing remedial measures since September 2012 had been insufficient. As a result, the IMF has issued a declaration of censure against Argentina in connection with the breach of its related obligations to the IMF and called on Argentina to adopt remedial measures to address the inaccuracy of inflation and GDP data without further delay.

In order to address the quality of official data, a new consumer price index denominated Urban National Consumer’s Price Index (Índice de Precios al Consumidor Nacional Urbano, or the “IPCNu”), was enacted on February 13, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the IPCNu was 23.9%. The IPCNu represents the first national indicator in Argentina to measure changes in prices of household goods for final consumption. While the previous price index only measured inflation in the Greater Buenos Aires area, the IPCNu is calculated by measuring prices of goods across the entire urban population of the 23 provinces of Argentina and the City of Buenos Aires. In addition, in February 2014, the INDEC released a new GDP index for 2013, equal to 3.0%, which differs from the GDP index originally released by the INDEC for the same period which was 5.5%. On December 15, 2014, the IMF recognized the progress of Argentine authorities to remedy the inaccurate provision of data, but has delayed the definitive evaluation of the new index. If the IMF finds that the methodology of INDEC for calculating a new measure of CPI or GDP is inaccurate, or concludes that its methodology should be adjusted, that could result in financial and economic consequences for Argentina, including a lack of access to financing from IMF. If the IMF adopts any measures that are adverse to Argentina, the Argentine economy could suffer adverse effects, either by limiting access to international financial markets or increasing the financing cost associated therewith, which in turn would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

On January 8, 2016, as a result of the INDEC’s historical inability to produce reliable statistical data, the Macri administration issued an emergency decree and ceased publication of national statistics. The INDEC suspended all publications of statistical data until the technical reorganization process was completed and the administrative structure of the INDEC was recomposed.

After this process of reorganization and recovery, the INDEC began to gradually publish official data. In this regard, on June 15, 2016, July 13, 2016, August 12, 2016, September 13, 2016 and October 13, 2016 the INDEC published inflation data of the months of in May, June, July, August and September reflecting a monthly increase of 4.2%, 3.1%, 2.0%, 0.2% and 1.1%, respectively; however, at the date hereof, the CPI for the first four months of 2016 has not been published.

In addition, on June 29, 2016, the INDEC recalculated historical GDP data dating back to 2014, and GDP was estimated at 2.3% in 2013, a contraction of 2.6% in 2014, an increase to 2.4% in 2015 and an increase to 0.5% the first six month of 2016. Uncertainty still remains regarding the reliability related to the inaccuracy of the economic indicators remains a factor that negatively affects the economy of Argentina and our business. However, on October 5, 2016, concluded the first IMF audit over the Argentine’s public accounts, saying that the new government has achieved an important progress. As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine government was waiting for the final report of the IMF, which will possibly include the lifting of the censure against Argentina.

Notwithstanding these measures to address appropriate inflation statistics, there are private reports implying significantly higher inflation rates than the official reports of the INDEC. Despite the changes adopted by the INDEC to the measurement procedure with the IPCNu, there are still some differences between the figures resulting from this indicator and those recorded by private consultants, the Argentine Congress and the provincial statistic agencies. If it is determined that it is necessary to unfavorably adjust the consumer price index and other INDEC indices, there could be a significant decrease in confidence in the Argentine economy, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on us.

Continuing high inflation may impact the Argentine economy and adversely affect our results of operations.

Inflation has, in the past, materially undermined the Argentine economy and the government’s ability to foster conditions that would permit stable growth. In recent years, Argentina has confronted inflationary pressures, evidenced by significantly higher fuel, energy and food prices, among other factors. According to data published by the INDEC, the rate of inflation reached 10.9% in 2010, 9.5% in 2011, 10.8% in 2012, 10.9% in 2013, 23.9% in 2014, 11.9% in the ten-month period ended October, 31 2015. In response, the prior Argentine administration implemented programs to control inflation and monitor prices for essential goods and services, including freezing the prices of key products and services, and price support arrangements agreed between the Argentine government and private sector companies in several industries and markets.

In November 2015, the INDEC suspended the publication of the CPI. According to the most recent publicly available information based on data from the Province of San Luis, the CPI grew by 31.6% in 2015 and the inflation rate was 6.5%, 4.2%, 2.7%, 3.0% and 3.4% in December 2015 and January, February, March and April 2016, respectively. According to the most recent publicly available information based on data from the City of Buenos Aires, the CPI grew by 26.9% in 2015 and the inflation rate was 3.9%, 4.1%, 4.0%, 3.3% and 6.5% in December 2015 and January, February, March and April 2016, respectively. After implementing certain methodological reforms and adjusting certain macroeconomic statistics on the basis of these reforms, in June 2016 the INDEC resumed its CPI publications. According to the INDEC, Argentina’s rate of inflation rate was 4.2%, 3.1%, 2.0%, 0.2% and 1.1% in May, June, July, August and September 2016, respectively.

A high inflation environment would undermine Argentina’s foreign competitiveness by diluting the effects of a peso devaluation, negatively impact the level of economic activity and employment and undermine confidence in Argentina’s banking system, which could further limit the availability of domestic and international credit to businesses. In turn, a portion of the Argentine debt is adjusted by the Stabilization Coefficient (“Coeficiente de Estabilización de Referencia”, or “CER”), a currency index, that is strongly related to inflation. Therefore, any significant increase in inflation would cause an increase in the Argentine external debt and consequently in Argentina’s financial obligations, which could exacerbate the stress on the Argentine economy. A high level of uncertainty and a general lack of stability in terms of inflation could also lead to shortened contractual terms and affect the ability to plan and make decisions.

Inflation rates could escalate in the future, and there is uncertainty regarding the effects that the measures adopted, or that may be adopted in the future, by the Argentine government to control inflation may have. If inflation remains high or continues to rise, Argentina’s economy may be negatively impacted and our results of operations could be materially affected.

Foreign shareholders of companies operating in Argentina have initiated investment arbitration proceedings against Argentina that have resulted and could result in arbitral awards and/or injunctions against Argentina and its assets and, in turn, limit its financial resources.

In response to the emergency measures implemented by the Argentine government during the 2001-2002 economic crisis, a number of claims were filed before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (the “ICSID”) against Argentina. Claimants allege that the emergency measures were inconsistent with the fair and equitable treatment standards set forth in various bilateral investment treaties by which Argentina was bound at the time.

As of the date of this annual report, there are four final awards issued by ICSID tribunals against Argentina for an aggregate total amount of US$470.66 million and Argentina is seeking the annulment of four additional awards for an aggregate total amount of US$831.73 million. There are six ongoing cases against Argentina before ICSID with claims totaling US$2.15 billion (including two cases with claims for amounts that are currently undetermined), and in three of these cases (with aggregate claims for US$2.08 billion) the ICSID tribunal has already ruled that it has jurisdiction. There are eight additional cases with claims totaling US$6.17 billion in which the parties agreed to suspend the proceedings pending settlement discussions (including the proceedings initiated by Task Force Argentina, an Italian bondholder association known as “TFA”). A successful completion of these negotiations could lead additional ICSID claimants to withdraw their claims, although Argentina can offer no assurance to this effect.

It is not certain that Argentina will prevail in having any or all of those cases dismissed, or that if awards in favor of the plaintiffs are granted, that it will succeed in having those awards annulled.

Claimants have also filed claims before arbitral tribunals under the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (“UNCITRAL”) and under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). As of the date of this annual report, there are three final awards against Argentina for an aggregate total amount of US$246.27 million and Argentina is seeking the annulment of an additional award for US$96,509 million. There are three ongoing cases against Argentina before UNCITRAL and ICC tribunals with claims totaling US$625.08 million, including one case with a US$507.80 million claim in which the tribunal has already ruled that it has jurisdiction. There is one additional case with a claim of US$168.69 million in which the parties agreed to suspend the proceedings pending settlement discussions.

We cannot give any assurance that Argentina will prevail in having any or all of those cases dismissed, or that if awards in favor of the plaintiffs are granted, that it will succeed in having those awards annulled.

Ongoing claims before the ICSID tribunal and other arbitral tribunals could lead to new awards against Argentina, which could have a material adverse effect on our capacity to access to international credit.

Significant fluctuation in the value of the Peso may adversely affect the Argentine economy as well as our financial performance.

Since the strengthening of exchange controls began in late 2011, and upon the introduction of measures that have limited access to foreign currency by private companies and individuals (such as requiring an authorization of tax authorities to access the foreign currency exchange market), the implied exchange rate, as reflected in the quotations for Argentine securities that trade in foreign markets compared to the corresponding quotations in the local market, has increased significantly over the official exchange rate. These measures were lifted on December 16, 2015. However, any reenactment of these measures may prevent or limit us from offsetting the risk derived from our exposure to the U.S. dollar and, if so, we cannot predict the impact of these changes on our financial condition and results of operations.

If the Peso continues to depreciate, all of the negative effects on the Argentine economy related to such devaluation could reappear, with adverse consequences on our business. Moreover, it would likely result in a material adverse effect in our business as a result of the exposure to financial commitments denominated in U.S. Dollar. While certain of our office space leases are denominated in U.S. dollars, we are only partially protected against depreciation of the Peso as payment is fixed in Pesos and there can be no assurance we will be able to maintain our U.S. Dollar-denominated leases.

On the other hand, a substantial increase in the value of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar also presents risks for the Argentine economy. The appreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar negatively impacts the financial condition of entities whose foreign currency denominated assets exceed their foreign currency-denominated liabilities, such as us. In addition, in the short term, a significant real appreciation of the Peso would adversely affect exports. This could have a negative effect on GDP growth and employment as well as reduce the Argentine public sector’s revenues by reducing tax collection in real terms, given its current heavy reliance on taxes on exports. The appreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar could have an adverse effect on the Argentine economy and our business.

Certain measures that may be taken by the Argentine government may adversely affect the Argentine economy and, as a result, our business and results of operations

In the past, the Argentine government has increased its direct intervention in the economy through the implementation or change of laws and regulations, such as, nationalizations or expropriations; restrictions on production, imports and exports; exchange and/or transfer restrictions; direct and indirect price controls; tax increases, changes in the interpretation or application of tax laws and other retroactive tax claims or challenges; cancellation of contract rights; or delays or denials of governmental approvals.

In November 2008, the Argentine government enacted Law No. 26,425 which provided for the nationalization of the Administradoras de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones. More recently, beginning in April 2012, the Argentine government provided for the nationalization of YPF S.A. and imposed major changes to the system under which oil companies operate, principally through the enactment of Law No. 26,741 and Decree No. 1277/2012. In February 2014, the Argentine government and Repsol S.A. (the former principal shareholder of YPF S.A.) announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of the compensation payable to Repsol for the expropriation of the YPF S.A. shares. Such compensation totaled US$5 billion, payable by delivery of Argentine sovereign bonds with various maturities. In April 23, 2014, the agreement with Repsol was approved by the Argentine Congress and accordingly, in May 8, 2014, Repsol, S.A. received the relevant Argentine government bonds.

Additionally, on December 19, 2012, the Argentine government issued Decree No.2552/12, which, ordered the expropriation of the “Predio Rural de Palermo.” However, on January 4, 2013, the Federal Civil and Commercial Chamber granted an injunction that momentarily blocked the enforceability of Decree N° 2,552/2012; notwithstanding the foregoing on June 1, 2015, the injunction was released. On June 2, 2015, this decision was appealed, and as a result the aforementioned injuction is still effective and the effects of the Decree No.2552/12 remain blocked as of the date hereof. The Argentine government filed a motion to revoke the injuction which was rejected by the Federal Civil and Commercial Chamber and as a consequence the Argentine government filed an extraordinary motion with the Supreme Court, which was rejected and therefore the injunction remains effective. as of the date of this annual report the Argentine government has answered the claim and requested the registration of the litis. The court granted the registration of the litis and ordered to notify the plaintiff of the answer of the claim filed by the Argentine Government however the notification has not been received by the plaintiff. The Decree No.2552/12 may indirectly affect IRSA’s investment in Entertainment Holding S.A. (“EHSA”).

Furthermore, on May 18, 2015, we were notified that the Agencia de Administración de Bienes del Estado (“AABE”), revoked the concession agreement granted to our subsidiary Arcos del Gourmet S.A., through Resolution No. 170/2014. On June 2, 2015, we filed before the AABE a request to declare the notification void, as certain formal proceedings required under Argentine law have not been complied by the AABE. Furthermore, we filed an administrative appeal requesting the dismissal of the revocation of the agreement and a lawsuit seeking to declare the Resolution No. 170/2014 void. We also filed a lawsuit in order to judicially pay the monthly rental fees of the property. As of the date of this annual report, the “Distrito Arcos” shopping center continues to operate normally.

There are other recent examples of government intervention. In December 2012 and August 2013, the Argentine Congress established new regulations relating to domestic capital markets. The new regulations generally provide for increased intervention in the capital markets by the government, authorizing, for example, the CNV to appoint observers with the ability to veto the decisions of the board of directors of companies admitted to the public offering regime under certain circumstances and suspend the board of directors for a period of up to 180 days. Notwithstanding, the new government is working on an amendment to the Capital Markets Law, which will, among other things, take off the CNV the authorization to appoint observers mentioned before.

We cannot assure you that these or other measures that may be adopted by the Argentine government, such as expropriation, nationalization, forced renegotiation or modification of existing contracts, new taxation policies, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting foreign trade, investment, etc., will not have a material adverse effect on the Argentine economy and, as a consequence, adversely affect our financial condition, our results of operations and the market value of our securities.

The Argentine presidential, congressional and certain municipal and state government elections that were held in October and November 2015 generated political uncertainty as to whether the new Argentine government, which took office on December 10, 2015, would implement changes in policy or regulation that could adversely affect the Argentine economy. As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine government has adopted a series of economic actions and foreign exchange regulations whose effects will be seen in the coming months. The President of Argentina and the Congress each have considerable power to determine governmental policies and actions that relate to the Argentine economy and, consequently, may affect our results of operations or financial condition. We can offer no assurances that the policies that may be implemented by the new Argentine government will not adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The Argentine government may order salary increases to be paid to employees in the private sector, which would increase our operating costs.

In the past, the Argentine government has passed laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to maintain minimum wage levels and provide specified benefits to employees and may do so again in the future. In the aftermath of the Argentine economic crisis, employers both in the public and private sectors experienced significant pressure from their employees and labor organizations to increase wages and to provide additional employee benefits. In August 2012, the Argentine government established a 25% increase in minimum monthly salary to Ps.2,875, effective as of February 2013. The Argentine government increased the minimum monthly salary to Ps.3,300 in August 2013, to Ps.3,600 in January 2014, to Ps.4,400 in September 2014, to Ps.4,716 in January 2015, to Ps.5,588 in August 2015 and to Ps.6,060 from January 2016. Due to ongoing high levels of inflation, employers in both the public and private sectors continue to experience significant pressure from unions and their employees to increase salaries. During the first months of the year 2016, various unions have agreed with employers’ associations on salary increases between 30% and 35%.

In the future, the government could take new measures requiring salary increases or additional benefits for workers, and the labor force and labor unions may apply pressure for such measures. As of the date of this annual report, the government and labor representatives were engaged in negotiations to set national guidelines for salary increases during 2016. Any such increase in wage or worker benefit could result in added costs and reduced results operations for Argentine companies, including us.

Property values in Argentina could decline significantly.

Property values are influenced by multiple factors that are beyond our control, such as a decrease in the demand for real estate properties due to a deterioration of macroeconomic conditions or an increase in supply of real estate properties that could adversely affect the value of real estate properties. We cannot assure you that property values will increase or that they will not be reduced. Most of the properties we own are located in Argentina. As a result, a reduction in the value of properties in Argentina could materially affect our business.

Restrictions on transfers of foreign currency and the repatriation of capital from Argentina may impair our ability to pay dividends and distributions.

According to current Argentine practices the Argentine government may impose restrictions on the exchange of Argentine currency into foreign currencies and on the remittance to foreign investors of proceeds from investments in Argentina in circumstances where a serious imbalance develops in Argentina’s balance of payments or where there are reasons to foresee such an imbalance. Beginning in December 2001, the Argentine government implemented a number of monetary and foreign exchange control measures that included restrictions on the free disposition of funds deposited with banks and on the transfer of funds abroad without prior approval by the Central Bank, some of which are still in effect. With the administration of President Macri, many of the ongoing restrictions were lifted.

On January 7, 2003, the Central Bank issued communication “A” 3859, which is still in force and pursuant to which there are no limitations on companies’ ability to purchase foreign currency and transfer it outside Argentina to pay dividends, provided that those dividends arise from net earnings corresponding to approved and audited financial statements. The transfer of funds abroad by local companies to pay annual dividends only to foreign shareholders, based on approved and fully audited financial statements, does not require formal approval by the Central Bank.

Notwithstanding the above, for many years, and as a consequence of a decrease in availability of U.S. dollars in Argentina, the previous Argentine government imposed informal restrictions on certain local companies and individuals for purchasing foreign currency. These restrictions on foreign currency purchases started in October 2011 and tightened thereafter through the date of this annual report. As a result of these informal restrictions, local residents and companies may be prevented from purchasing foreign currency through the foreign exchange market (“Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios” or “Exchange Market”) for the purpose of making payments abroad, such as dividends, capital reductions, and payment for importation of goods and services.

Together with the new government administration, such restrictions and other foreign exchange control measures were lifted, towards opening Argentina’s foreign exchange market. In this sense, on December 17, 2015, Communication “A” 5850 of the Central Bank reestablished the possibility for non-Argentinean residents to repatriate their investment capital and, recently, Communication “A” 6037 of the Central Bank defined the new regulations that apply to the acquisition of foreign currency and the elimination of all other restrictions that impair residents and non-residents to have access to the FX market.

However, in the future, the Argentine government or the Central Bank may impose formal restrictions to the payment of dividends abroad and established additional requirements. Any restrictions on transferring funds abroad imposed by the government could undermine our ability to pay dividends on our ADSs in U.S. Dollars.

Exchange controls and restrictions on transfers abroad and capital inflow restrictions have been limited in the past and may limit the availability of international credit.

Until December 2015, many foreign exchange restrictions and controls imposed by the Argentine government had limited the ability of companies and individuals to access the Exchange Market. On December 16, 2015, the new authorities issued Communication “A” 5850 of the Central Bank, lifting most of the restrictions then in place. Among these measures, free access to the Exchange Market was granted for the purchase of foreign currency intended for general purposes, without the need for the Central Bank’s or AFIP’s previous consent, and the requirement to deposit 30% of certain capital inflows into Argentina was eliminated, subsequently extended by Communication “A” 5963 and 5964. Also, on August 8, 2016, the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 6037, in which the exchange regulations, including the obligation was removed substantially redefined to justify with documentation each change operation, the daily and monthly to operate caps were removed to internet banking and exchange freely chosen schedule to operate and Communication a “4805” limiting repealed was allowed conducting derivative transactions with foreign countries, risks denying coverage to many companies, especially small and medium size enterprises.

Although these recent changes in the foreign exchange policies tend to allow free access by companies and individuals to the Exchange Market, certain limitations remain in effect including the following:

The proceeds of foreign currency sales in the Exchange Market exceeding the peso equivalent of US$2,500 per month must be credited in pesos in a checking or savings account with a local financial institution;

It is no longer necessary that the proceeds of external indebtedness be entered or settled in the local foreign exchange market;

Any external indebtedness incurred or renewed after December 17, 2015, must remain in Argentina for a period of at least 120 calendar days from the date the proceeds were transferred into Argentina; and

Capital inflows into the local foreign exchange market must be credited in an account opened with a local financial institution.

Notwithstanding the measures adopted by the Macri administration, which lifted certain exchange and capital controls, in the future the Argentine government could impose further exchange controls or restrictions on the movement of capital and/or take other measures in response to capital flight or a significant depreciation of the peso, which could limit our ability to access the international capital markets. Such measures could lead to political and social tensions and undermine the Argentine government’s public finances, as has occurred in the past, which could adversely affect Argentina’s economy and prospects for economic growth. For more information, see “Local Exchange Market and Exchange Rates.”

The Argentine economy could be adversely affected by political and economic developments in other global markets.

Argentina’s economy is vulnerable to external shocks that could be caused by adverse developments affecting its principal trading partners. A significant decline in the economic growth of any of Argentina’s major trading partners (including Brazil, the European Union, China and the United States) could have a material adverse impact on Argentina’s balance of trade and adversely affect Argentina’s economic growth. In 2015, there were declines in exports of 14% with Chile, 26% with MERCOSUR (Brazil) and 16% with NAFTA (the United States, Mexico and Canada), each as compared to 2014. Declining demand for Argentine exports could have a material adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth. For example, the recent significant depreciation of the Brazilian and Chinese currencies and the current slowdown of their respective economies may negatively affect the Argentine economy. Moreover, the political and social instability in Brazil, which includes the recent removal of the President Dilma Rousseff from office following an impeachment vote in the Senate, may have an adversely impact on Argentine’s economy.

In addition, financial and securities markets in Argentina have been influenced by economic and market conditions in other markets worldwide. Such was the case in 2008, when the global economic crisis led to a sudden economic decline in Argentina in 2009, accompanied by inflationary pressures, depreciation of the peso and a drop in consumer and investor confidence. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investors’ perception of the events occurring in one country may substantially affect capital flows into other countries. International investors’ reactions to events occurring in one market sometimes demonstrate a “contagion” effect in which an entire region or class of investment is disfavored by international investors. Argentina could be adversely affected by negative economic or financial developments in other countries, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Lower capital inflows and declining securities prices negatively affect the real economy of a country through higher interest rates or currency volatility. Moreover, Argentina may also be affected by other countries that have influence over world economic cycles.

The international economy is showing contradictory signals of global growth, leading to significant financial uncertainty. There is growing concern about the deceleration of growth in China in particular as well as the significant decline in global commodity prices, particularly oil and gas. In addition, emerging market economies have been affected by the recent change in the U.S. monetary policy, resulting in the unwinding of investments and increased volatility in the value of their currencies. If interest rates rise significantly in developed economies, including the United States, emerging market economies, including Argentina, could find it more difficult and expensive to borrow capital and refinance existing debt, which would negatively affect their economic growth. There is also global uncertainty about the degree of economic recovery in the United States, with no substantial positive signals from other developed countries. Moreover, the recent challenges faced by the European Union to stabilize certain of its member economies, such as Greece, have had and may continue to have international implications affecting the stability of global financial markets, which has hindered economies worldwide.

The effects of the United Kingdom’s vote to exit from the European Union and its impact on economic conditions in Latin America and Argentina and, particularly, on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and trading of our notes are uncertain.

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted in favor of the United Kingdom exiting the European Union. As of the date of this annual report, the actions that the United Kingdom will take to effectively exit from the European Union or the length of such process are uncertain. The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum have caused, and are anticipated to continue causing, volatility in the financial markets, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A decline in the international prices for Argentina’s main commodity exports could have an adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth and on our business.

High commodity prices have contributed significantly to the increase in Argentine exports since the third quarter of 2002 as well as in governmental revenues from export taxes (withholdings). However, this reliance on the export of certain commodities, such as soy, has made the Argentine economy more vulnerable to fluctuations in their prices. In December 2015, the new Argentine administration announced a plan to gradually reduce the exports tax payable by soy growers from January 2018 to December 2019, and eliminated export taxes on wheat, corn, sorghum and sunflower, in an attempt to encourage exports.

If international commodity prices decline, the Argentine government’s revenues would decrease significantly affecting Argentina’s economic activity. Accordingly, a decline in international commodity prices could adversely affect Argentina’s economy, which in turn would produce a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, adverse weather conditions can affect the production of commodities by the agricultural sector, which account for a significant portion of Argentina’s export revenues. These circumstances would have a negative impact on the levels of government revenues, availability of foreign exchange and the government’s ability to service its sovereign debt, and could either generate recessionary or inflationary pressures, depending on the government’s reaction. Either of these results would adversely impact Argentina’s economy growth and, therefore, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Restrictions on the supply of energy could negatively affect Argentina’s economy.

As a result of prolonged recession and the forced conversion into Pesos and subsequent freeze of natural gas and electricity tariffs in Argentina, there has been a lack of investment in natural gas and electricity supply and transport capacity in Argentina in recent years. At the same time, domestic demand for natural gas and electricity has increased substantially, driven by a recovery in economic conditions and the implementation of price constraints, which has prompted the government to adopt a series of measures that have resulted in industry shortages and/or costs increase. In particular, Argentina has been importing natural gas in order to compensate for shortages in local production. In order to pay for natural gas imports, the Argentine government has frequently used the Central Bank reserves due to the absence of incoming currencies from investment. If the government is unable to pay for the natural gas imported in order to produce electricity, business and industries may be adversely affected.

The Argentine government has been taking a number of measures to alleviate the short-term impact of energy shortages on residential and industrial users. If these measures prove to be insufficient, or if the investment that is required to increase natural gas production, transportation capacity and energy generation over the medium-and long-term fails to materialize on a timely basis, economic activity in Argentina could be curtailed which may have a significant adverse effect on our business.

As a first step of these measures, subsidies on energy tariffs were withdrawn from industries and high income consumers. Additionally, since 2011, a series of rate increases and the reduction of subsidies mainly among industries and high-income consumers were implemented. In February 2016, the Argentine government revised the tariff schedule for electricity and gas rates and eliminated the subsidies for these utilities, (except for tariffs for certain economically vulnerable sectors). As a result, energy costs are expected to increase by 500% or more. By correcting tariffs, modifying the regulatory framework and reducing the federal government’s role as an active market participant, the new administration aims to correct distortions in the energy sector and stimulate investment. In July 2016, a federal court in the city of La Plata suspended the increase in gas tariffs across the Province of Buenos Aires. In addition, on August 3, 2016, a federal court in San Martin suspended the increase in gas tariffs across the country until a public hearing to discuss the electricity tariffs increase is set. The case was brought before the Supreme Court of Argentina, and on August 18, 2016, the Supreme Court of Argentina upheld the suspension of gas tariffs increase to residential customers, arguing that a tariffs increase could not be established without public hearings. A public hearing on the increase was held on September 16, 2016 and as result, the increase in gas tariffs will be increased by approximately 203% in October 2016, with semi-annual increases until 2019. In relation to other services (water, transport and electricity), the government announced that other public meetings will be held in mid-October.

High public expenditure could result in long-lasting adverse consequences for the Argentine economy.

Over the last several years, the Argentine government has substantially increased public expenditures. In 2014, public sector expenditures increased by 43% year-over-year and the government reported a primary fiscal deficit of 0.9%. During recent years, the Argentine government has resorted to the Central Bank and to the Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social (Federal Social Security Agency, or “ANSES”, as per its acronym in Spanish) to source part of its funding requirements. In 2015, this trend continued as the primary fiscal balance showed a deficit of 5.4% as of December 31, 2015.

Recently, the Argentine government has begun adjusting its subsidy policies, particularly those related to energy, electricity and gas, water and public transportation. Changes in these policies could materially and adversely impact consumer purchase capacity and economic activity and may lead to an increase in prices.

Moreover, the primary fiscal balance could be negatively affected in the future if public expenditures continue to increase at a rate higher than revenues as a result of subsidies to lower-income sectors, social security benefits, financial assistance to provinces with financial problems, increased spending on public works and subsidies to the energy and transportation sectors. A further deterioration in fiscal accounts could negatively affect the government’s ability to access the long-term financial markets and could in turn result in more limited access to such markets by Argentine companies.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

We are subject to risks inherent to the operation of shopping centers that may affect our profitability.

Our shopping centers are subject to various factors that affect their development, administration and profitability, including:

decline in our lease prices or increases in levels of default by our tenants due to economic conditions, increases in interest rates and other factors that we cannot control;

the accessibility and the attractiveness of the area where the shopping center is located;

the intrinsic attractiveness of the shopping center;

the flow of people and the level of sales of each shopping center rental unit;

increasing competition from internet sales;

the amount of rent collected from each shopping center rental unit;

changes in consumer demand and availability of consumer credit (considering the limits impose by the Central Bank to interest rates charged by financial institutions), both of which are highly sensitive to general macroeconomic conditions; and

fluctuations in occupancy levels in our shopping centers.

An increase in our operating costs, caused by inflation or by other factors, could have a material adverse effect on us if our tenants are unable to pay higher rent due to the increase in expenses. Moreover, the shopping center business is closely related to consumer spending and by prevailing economic conditions that affect potential customers. All of our shopping centers and commercial properties, under Operations Center in Argentina, are located in Argentina, and, as a consequence, their business could be seriously affected by a recession in Argentina. For example, during the economic crisis in Argentina, spending decreased significantly, unemployment, political instability and inflation significantly reduced consumer spending in Argentina, lowering tenants’ sales and forcing some tenants to leave our shopping centers. Persistently poor economic conditions in Argentina will likely have a material adverse effect on the revenues from shopping center activity and thus on our business.

Our assets are highly concentrated in certain geographic areas and an economic downturn in such areas could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, 78% of our sales from leases and services for the Operations Center in Argentina were derived from shopping centers located in the City of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area. In addition, all of our office buildings are located in the City of Buenos Aires and a substantial portion of our revenues in Argentina are derived from such properties. Although we own properties and may acquire or develop additional properties outside of the City of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires, we expect to continue to depend to a large extent on economic conditions affecting those areas and therefore an economic downturn in those areas could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations by reducing our rental income may adversely affect our ability to meet our debt obligations.

Our performance is subject to risks associated with our properties and with the real estate industry.

Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets are subject to the risk that our properties may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to service our debt and to cover other expenses may be adversely affected.

Events or conditions beyond our control that may adversely affect our operations or the value of our properties include:

downturns in the national, regional and local economic climate;

volatility and decline in discretionary spending;

competition from other shopping centers and office, and commercial buildings;

local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for retail, office, or other commercial space;

decreases in consumption levels;

changes in interest rates and availability of financing;

the exercise by our tenants of their legal right to early termination of their leases;

vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space;

increased operating costs, including insurance expense, salary increases, utilities, real estate taxes, state and local taxes and heightened security costs;

civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters, or terrorist acts or acts of war which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses;

significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs;

declines in the financial condition of our tenants and our ability to collect rents from our tenants;

changes in our ability or our tenants’ ability to provide for adequate maintenance and insurance, possibly decreasing the useful life of and revenue from property;

changes in law or governmental regulations (such as those governing usage, zoning and real property taxes) or government action such as expropriation, confiscation or revocation of concessions; and

judicial interpretation of the New Civil and Commercial Code (in force from August 1, 2015) which may be adverse to our interests.

If any one or more of the foregoing conditions were to affect our business, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

An adverse economic environment for real estate companies such as a credit crisis may adversely impact our results of operations and business prospects significantly.

The success of our business and profitability of our operations depend on continued investment in the real estate sector and access to capital and debt financing. A long term crisis of confidence in real estate investments and lack of credit for acquisitions may constrain our growth. As part of our business goals, we intend to increase our properties portfolio though strategic acquisitions of core properties at advantageous prices, where we believe we can bring the necessary expertise to enhance property values. In order to pursue acquisitions, we may need access to equity capital and/or debt financing. Any disruptions in the financial markets, including the bankruptcy and restructuring of major financial institutions, may adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt and the availability and cost of credit in the near future. Any consideration of sales of existing properties or portfolio interests may be tempered by decreasing property values. Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our obligations with respect to indebtedness depends on our operating and financial performance, which in turn is subject to prevailing economic conditions. If a recurrence of the disruptions in financial markets remains or arises in the future, there can be no assurances that government responses to such disruptions will restore investor confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit.

We may face risks associated with property acquisitions.

We have in the past acquired, and intend to acquire in the future, properties, including large properties that would increase our size and potentially alter our capital structure. Although we believe that the acquisitions that we have completed in the past and that we expect to undertake in the future have, and will, enhance our future financial performance, the success of such transactions is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the risk that:

we may not be able to obtain financing for acquisitions on favorable terms;

acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates; and

acquired properties may be located in new markets where we may have limited knowledge and understanding of the local economy, absence of business relationships in the area or unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures.

If we acquire new properties, we may not be able to efficiently integrate acquired properties, particularly portfolios of properties, into our organization and to manage new properties in a way that allows us to realize cost savings and synergies, which could impair our results of operations.

Our future acquisitions may be unprofitable.

We intend to acquire additional properties to the extent that we manage to acquire them on advantageous terms and conditions and they meet our investment criteria. Acquisitions of commercial properties entail general investment risks associated with any real estate investment, including:

our estimates of the cost of improvements needed to bring the property up to established standards for the market may prove to be inaccurate;

properties we acquire may fail to achieve, within the time frames we project, the occupancy or rental rates we expect to achieve at the time we make the decision to acquire, which may result in the properties’ failure to achieve the returns we projected;

our pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs, which could significantly increase our total acquisition costs; and

our investigation of a property or building prior to its acquisition, and any representations we may receive from the seller of such building or property, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase our acquisition cost.

If we acquire a business, we will be required to merge and integrate the operations, personnel, accounting and information systems of such acquired business. In addition, acquisitions of or investments in companies may cause disruptions in our operations and divert management’s attention away from day-to-day operations, which could impair our relationships with our current tenants and employees.

Properties we acquire may subject us to unknown liabilities.

Properties that we acquire may be subject to unknown liabilities and we would have no recourse, or only limited recourse to the former owners of the properties. Thus, if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of an acquired property, we might be required to pay significant sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our financial results and cash flow. Unknown liabilities relating to acquired properties could include:

liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination;

law reforms and governmental regulations (such as those governing usage, zoning and real property taxes); and

liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Our dependence on rental income may adversely affect our ability to meet our debt obligations.

A substantial part of our income is derived from rental income from real property. As a result, our performance depends on our ability to collect rent from tenants. Our income and funds for distribution would be negatively affected if a significant number of our tenants:

delay lease commencements;

decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;

fail to make rental payments when due; or

close stores or declare bankruptcy.

Any of these actions could result in the termination of leases and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases. In addition we cannot assure you that any tenant whose lease expires will renew that lease or that we will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms or at all. The loss of rental revenues from a number of our tenants and our inability to replace such tenants may adversely affect our profitability and our ability to meet debt and other financial obligations.

It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly and transfer restrictions may apply to part of our portfolio of properties.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and this tends to limit our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in the economy or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in income from an investment. If income from a property declines while the related expenses do not decline, our business would be adversely affected. Further, if it becomes necessary or desirable for us to dispose of one or more of our mortgaged properties, we may not be able to obtain a release of the lien on the mortgaged property without payment of the associated debt. The foreclosure of a mortgage on a property or inability to sell a property could adversely affect our business.

Some of the land we have purchased is not zoned for development purposes, and we may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in obtaining, the necessary zoning permits and other authorizations.

We own several plots of land which are not zoned for the type of projects we intend to develop. In addition, we do not yet have the required land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations for these properties. We cannot assure you that we will continue to be successful in our attempts to rezone land and to obtain all necessary permits and authorizations, or that rezoning efforts and permit requests will not be unreasonably delayed or rejected. Moreover, we may be affected by building moratorium and anti-growth legislation. If we are unable to obtain all of the governmental permits and authorizations we need to develop our present and future projects as planned, we may be forced to make unwanted modifications to such projects or abandon them altogether.

Our ability to grow will be limited if we cannot obtain additional financing.

We must maintain liquidity to fund our working capital, service our outstanding indebtedness and finance investment opportunities. Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to curtail our operations or we may not be able to pursue new business opportunities.

Our growth strategy is focused on the development and redevelopment of properties we already own and the acquisition and development of additional properties. As a result, we are likely to depend to an important degree on the availability of debt or equity capital, which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. We cannot guarantee that additional financing, refinancing or other capital will be available in the amounts we desire or on favorable terms. Our access to debt or equity capital markets depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of our growth potential, our ability to pay dividends, our financial condition, our credit rating and our current and potential future earnings. Depending on these factors, we could experience delays or difficulties in implementing our growth strategy on satisfactory terms or at all.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption since the last credit crisis. If our current resources do not satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may have to seek additional financing. The availability of financing will depend on a variety of factors, such as economic and market conditions, the availability of credit and our credit ratings, as well as the possibility that lenders could develop a negative perception of the prospects of our company or the industry generally. We may not be able to successfully obtain any necessary additional financing on favorable terms, or at all.

Serious illnesses and pandemics, such as the 2009 outbreak of Influenza A H1N1 virus (the “Swine Flu”) and the current Zika virus, have in the past adversely affected consumer and tourist activity, may do so in the future and may adversely affect our results of operations.

As a result of the outbreak of Swine Flu during the winter of 2009, consumers and tourists dramatically changed their spending and travel habits to avoid contact with crowds. Furthermore, several governments enacted regulations limiting the operation of schools, cinemas and shopping centers. Even though the Argentine government only issued public service recommendations to the population regarding the risks involved in visiting crowded places, such as shopping centers, and did not issue specific regulations limiting access to public places, a significant number of consumers nonetheless changed their habits vis-a-vis shopping centers and malls. Similarly, the current zika virus pandemic may result in similar courses and outcomes. We cannot assure you that a new disease outbreak or health hazard (such as the Ebola outbreak in recent years) will not occur in the future, or that such an outbreak or health hazard would not significantly affect consumer and/or tourist activity, and that such scenario would not adversely affect our businesses.

Adverse incidents that occur in our shopping centers may result in damage to our image and a decrease in the number of customers.

Given that shopping centers are open to the public, with ample circulation of people, accidents, theft, robbery and other incidents may occur in our facilities, regardless of the preventative measures we adopt. In the event such an incident or series of incidents occurs, shopping center customers and visitors may choose to visit other shopping venues that they believe are safer and less violent, which may cause a reduction in the sales volume and operating income of our shopping centers.

Argentine Law governing leases imposes restrictions that limit our flexibility.

Argentine laws governing leases impose certain restrictions, including the following:

a prohibition on including automatic price adjustment clauses based on inflation increases in lease agreements; and

the imposition of a two-year minimum lease term for all purposes, except in particular cases such as embassy, consulate or international organization venues, room with furniture for touristic purposes for less than three months, custody and bailment of goods, exhibition or offering of goods in fairs or in cases where due to the circumstances, the subject matter of the lease agreement requires a shorter term.

As a result of the foregoing, we are exposed to the risk of increases of inflation under our leases, and the exercise of rescission rights by our tenants could materially and adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that our tenants will not exercise such right, especially if rent values stabilize or decline in the future or if economic conditions deteriorate.

In addition, on October 1, 2014, the Argentine Congress adopted a new Civil and Commercial Code (the “Civil and Commercial Code”) which became effective on June 30, 2015, and is in force since August 1, 2015, requires that lease agreements provide for a minimum term of two years, and a maximum term of twenty years for residential leases and of fifty years for other leases. Furthermore, the Civil and Commercial Code modifies the regime applicable to contractual provisions relating to foreign currency payment obligations by establishing that foreign currency payment obligations may be discharged in Pesos. This amends the legal framework currently in force, pursuant to which debtors may only discharge their foreign currency payment obligations by making payment in the specific foreign currency agreed upon in their agreements; although the option to discharge in Pesos a foreign currency obligation may be waived by the debtor is still under discussion. Although certain judicial decisions have held that this regulation regarding foreign currency can be set aside by the parties to an agreement, it is still too early to determine whether or not this legal provision can be set aside in an agreement as a general rule. Moreover, and regarding the new provisions for leases, there are no judicial decisions on the scope of this amendment and, in particular, in connection with the ability of the parties to any contract to set aside the new provision and enforce such agreements before an Argentine court.

We may be liable for some defects in our buildings.

According to the Argentine Civil Code as previously in effect, the builder of a real estate development was liable in case of property damage – meaning the damages compromises the structure and/or the defects render the building no longer useful – for a period of 10 years since the possession of the property; on the other hand, the builder was liable for latent defects, even when those defects did not imply significant property damage. In addition, the Argentine Civil Code as previously in effect, provided that such liability was extended to the technical project manager and the designer of any given project. Furthermore, in certain cases, such as when consumer law was involved, the liability could be extended to the developer. The Civil and Commercial Code, which became effective on August 1, 2015, has similar provisions and expressly extends the liability for such damage to real estate developers (i.e., any person who sells real estate built by either themselves or by a third party contractor), and any other person involved in the project, in addition to the liability of the builder, the technical project manager and the designer of the project. According to the Civil and Commercial Code, the warranty period for latent defects expires after three years after the client takes possession of the real estate, and both the builder and the seller are liable for such defects.

In our real estate developments we usually act as developers and sellers and we build through third-party contractors. Absent a specific claim, we cannot quantify the potential cost of any obligation that may arise as a result of a future claim, and we have not recorded provisions associated with them in our financial statements. If we were required to remedy any defects on completed works, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Eviction proceedings in Argentina are difficult and time consuming.

Although Argentine law permits a summary proceeding to collect unpaid rent and a special proceeding to evict tenants, eviction proceedings in Argentina are difficult and time-consuming. Historically, the heavy workloads of the courts and the numerous procedural steps required have generally delayed landlords’ efforts to evict tenants. Eviction proceedings generally take between six months and two years from the date of filing of the suit to the time of actual eviction.

Historically, we have sought to negotiate the termination of lease agreements with defaulting tenants after the first few months of non-payment in order to avoid legal proceedings. Delinquency may increase significantly in the future, and such negotiations with tenants may not be as successful as they have been in the past. Moreover, new Argentine laws and regulations may forbid or restrict eviction, and in each such case they would likely have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

We are subject to risks inherent to the operation of office buildings that may affect our profitability.

Office buildings are subject to various factors that affect their development, administration and profitability, including:

a decrease in demand for office space;

a deterioration in the financial condition of our tenants may result in defaults under leases due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity or for other reasons;

difficulties or delays renewing leases or re-leasing space;

decreases in rents as a result of oversupply, particularly of newer buildings;

competition from developers, owners and operators of office properties and other commercial real estate, including sublease space available from our tenants; and

maintenance, repair and renovation costs incurred to maintain the competitiveness of our office buildings.

If we are unable to adequately address these factors, any one of them could adversely impact our business, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our investment in property development and management activities may be less profitable than we anticipate.

We are engaged in the development and management of shopping centers, office buildings and other rental properties, frequently through third-party contractors. Risks associated with our development and management activities include the following, among others:

abandonment of development opportunities and renovation proposals;

construction costs of a project may exceed our original estimates for reasons including raises in interest rates or increases in the costs of materials and labor, making a project unprofitable;

occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, resulting in lower than projected rental rates and a corresponding lower return on our investment;

pre-construction buyers may default on their purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon completion of construction;

the unavailability of favorable financing alternatives in the private and public debt markets;

aggregate sale prices of residential units may be insufficient to cover development costs;

construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;

failure or delays in obtaining necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, or building moratoria and anti-growth legislation;

significant time lags between the commencement and completion of projects subjects us to greater risks due to fluctuation in the general economy;

construction may not be completed on schedule because of a number of factors, including weather, labor disruptions, construction delays or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, or man-made or natural disasters (such as fires, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods), resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;

general changes in our tenants’ demand for rental properties; and

we may incur capital expenditures that could result in considerable time consuming efforts and which may never be completed due to government restrictions.

In addition, we may face contractors’ claims for the enforcement of labor laws in Argentina (sections 30, 31, 32 under Law No. 20,744), which provide for joint and several liability. Many companies in Argentina hire personnel from third-party companies that provide outsourced services, and sign indemnity agreements in the event of labor claims from employees of such third company that may affect the liability of such hiring company. However, in recent years several courts have denied the existence of independence in those labor relationships and declared joint and several liabilities for both companies.

While our policies with respect to expansion, renovation and development activities are intended to limit some of the risks otherwise associated with such activities, we are nevertheless subject to risks associated with the construction of properties, such as cost overruns, design changes and timing delays arising from a lack of availability of materials and labor, weather conditions and other factors outside of our control, as well as financing costs, may exceed original estimates, possibly making the associated investment unprofitable. Any substantial unanticipated delays or expenses could adversely affect the investment returns from these redevelopment projects and harm our operating results.

We are subject to great competitive pressure.

Our real estate activities are highly concentrated in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, where the real estate market is highly competitive due to a scarcity of properties in sought-after locations and the increasing number of local and international competitors. Furthermore, the Argentine real estate industry is generally highly competitive and fragmented and does not have high barriers to entry restricting new competitors from entering the market. The main competitive factors in the real estate development business include availability and location of land, price, funding, design, quality, reputation and partnerships with developers. A number of residential and commercial developers and real estate services companies compete with us in seeking land for acquisition, financial resources for development and prospective purchasers and tenants. Other companies, including joint ventures of foreign and local companies, have become increasingly active in the real estate business and shopping center business in Argentina, further increasing this competition. To the extent that one or more of our competitors are able to acquire and develop desirable properties, as a result of greater financial resources or otherwise, our business could be materially and adversely affected. If we are not able to respond to such pressures as promptly as our competitors, or the level of competition increases, our financial condition and results of our operations could be adversely affected.

There are other shopping centers and numerous smaller retail stores and residential properties within the market area of each of our properties. The number of competing properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease retail space in our shopping centers or sell units in our residential complexes and on the amount of rent or the sale price that we are able to charge. We cannot assure you that other shopping center operators, including international shopping center operators, will not invest in Argentina in the near future. If additional companies become active in the Argentine shopping center market in the future, such competition could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Substantially all of our offices and other non-shopping center rental properties are located in developed urban areas. There are many 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 and may affect the sale and lease price of our premises. In the future, both national and foreign companies may participate in Argentina’s real estate development market, competing with us for business opportunities.

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance and certain kinds of insurance coverage may become prohibitively expensive.

We currently carry insurance policies that cover potential risks such as civil liability, fire, loss profit, floods, including extended coverage and losses from leases on all of our properties. Although we believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are generally customary, there are certain types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims, terrorism and acts of war that generally are not insured under the insurance policies offered in the national market. Should an insured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot assure you that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. If any of our key employees were to die or become incapacitated, we could experience losses caused by a disruption in our operations which will not be covered by insurance, and this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew our insurance coverage in an adequate amount or at reasonable prices. Insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts and mold, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive.

An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds policies on our properties could subject us to lost capital or revenue on those properties.

Under the terms and conditions of the leases currently in force on our properties, tenants are required to indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, or property, on or off the premises, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from our negligence or intentional misconduct or that of our agents. Tenants are generally required, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability and property damage insurance policies. In addition, we cannot assure you that our tenants will properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the deductibles.

Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we could lose all or part of our capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

Demand for our premium properties may not be sufficient.

We have focused on developing residential projects that cater to affluent individuals and have entered into property barter agreements pursuant to which we contribute our undeveloped properties to ventures with developers who will deliver us units at premium locations. At the time the developers return these properties to us, demand for premium residential units could be significantly lower. In such case, we would be unable to sell these residential units at the estimated prices or time frame, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our level of debt may adversely affect our operations and our ability to pay our debt as it becomes due.

We had, and expect to have, substantial liquidity and capital resource requirements to finance our business. As of June 30, 2016, our consolidated financial debt amounted to Ps.112,932 million (including IDBD’s debt outstanding as of that date plus accrued and unpaid interest on such indebtedness and deferred financing costs). We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient cash flows and adequate financial capacity in the future. While the commitments and other covenants applicable to IDBD’s debt obligations do not have apply IRSA since such it is not recourse to IRSA and it is not guaranteed by IRSA’s assets, these covenants and restrictions may impair or restrict our ability to operate IDBD and implement our business strategy.

The fact that we are highly leveraged may affect our ability to refinance existing debt or borrow additional funds to finance working capital requirements, acquisitions and capital expenditures. In addition, the recent disruptions in the global financial markets, including the bankruptcy and restructuring of major financial institutions, may adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt and the availability and cost of credit in the future. In such conditions, access to equity and debt financing options may be restricted and it may be uncertain how long these economic circumstances may last. This would require us to allocate a substantial portion of cash flow to repay principal and interest, thereby reducing the amount of money available to invest in operations, including acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our leverage could also affect our competitiveness and limit our ability to changes in market conditions, changes in the real estate industry and economic downturns.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our debt service requirements or to obtain future financing. If we cannot satisfy our debt service requirements or if we default on any financial or other covenants in our debt arrangements, the lenders and/or holders of our debt will be able to accelerate the maturity of such debt or cause defaults under the other debt arrangements. Our ability to service debt obligations or to refinance them will depend upon our future financial and operating performance, which will, in part, be subject to factors beyond our control such as macroeconomic conditions and regulatory changes in Argentina. If we cannot obtain future financing, we may have to delay or abandon some or all of our planned capital expenditures, which could adversely affect our ability to generate cash flows and repay our obligations as they become due.

The recurrence of a credit crisis could have a negative impact on our major customers, which in turn could materially adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

The global credit crisis that began in 2008 had a significant negative impact on businesses around the world. The impact of a crisis on our major tenants cannot be predicted and may be quite severe. A disruption in the ability of our significant tenants to access liquidity could cause serious disruptions or an overall deterioration of their businesses which could lead to a significant reduction in their future orders of their products and the inability or failure on their part to meet their payment obligations to us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.

We are subject to risks affecting the hotel industry.

The full-service segment of the lodging industry in which our hotels operate is highly competitive. The operational success of our hotels is highly dependent on our ability to compete in areas such as access, location, quality of accommodations, rates, quality food and beverage facilities and other services and amenities. Our hotels may face additional competition if other companies decide to build new hotels or improve their existing hotels to increase their attractiveness.

In addition, the profitability of our hotels depends on:

our ability to form successful relationships with international and local operators to run our hotels;

changes in tourism and travel trends, including seasonal changes and changes due to pandemic outbreaks, such as the A H1N1 virus, a potential ebola outbreak, among others, or weather phenomena’s or other natural events, such as the eruption of the Puyehué and the Calbuco volcano in June 2011 and April 2015, respectively;

affluence of tourists, which can be affected by a slowdown in global economy; and

taxes and governmental regulations affecting wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs.

The shift of consumers to purchasing goods over the Internet, where barriers to entry are low, may negatively affect sales at our shopping centers.

In recent years, internet retail sales have grown significantly in Argentina, even although the market share of such sales is still insignificant. The Internet enables manufacturers and retailers to sell directly to consumers, diminishing the importance of traditional distribution channels such as retail stores and shopping centers. We believe that our target consumers are increasingly using the Internet, from home, work or elsewhere, to shop electronically for retail goods, and this trend is likely to continue. If e-commerce and retail sales through the Internet continue to grow, consumers’ reliance on traditional distribution channels such as our shopping centers could be materially diminished, having a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation and additional regulations may be imposed in the future.

Our activities are subject to Argentine federal, state and municipal laws, and to regulations, authorizations and licenses required with respect to construction, zoning, use of the soil, environmental protection and historical patrimony, consumer protection, antitrust and other requirements, all of which affect our ability to acquire land, buildings and shopping centers, develop and build projects and negotiate with customers. In addition, companies in this industry are subject to increasing tax rates, the creation of new taxes and changes in the taxation regime. We are required to obtain licenses and authorizations with different governmental authorities in order to carry out our projects. Maintaining our licenses and authorizations can be a costly provision. In the case of non-compliance with such laws, regulations, licenses and authorizations, we may face fines, project shutdowns, and cancellation of licenses and revocation of authorizations.

In addition, public authorities may issue new and stricter standards, or enforce or construe existing laws and regulations in a more restrictive manner, which may force us to make expenditures to comply with such new rules. Development activities are also subject to risks relating to potential delays in obtaining or an inability to obtain all necessary zoning, environmental, land-use, development, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. Any such delays or failures to obtain such government approvals may have an adverse effect on our business.

In the past, the Argentine government imposed strict and burdensome regulations regarding leases in response to housing shortages, high rates of inflation and difficulties in accessing credit. Such regulations limited or prohibited increases on rental prices and prohibited eviction of tenants, even for failure to pay rent. Most of our leases provide that the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to their respective leased areas. In the event of a significant increase in the amount of such costs and taxes, the Argentine government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby negatively affecting our rental income. We cannot assure you that the Argentine government will not impose similar or other regulations in the future. Changes in existing laws or the enactment of new laws governing the ownership, operation or leasing of properties in Argentina could negatively affect the Argentine real estate market and the rental market and materially and adversely affect our operations and profitability.

We face risks associated with our expansion in the United States.

On July 2, 2008, we acquired 30% interest in Metropolitan 885 LLC (“Metropolitan”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, United States of America. During fiscal year 2011, an agreement was reached to restructure Metropolitan’s debt; after the consummation of the aforementioned restructuring, we indirectly hold 49% of New Lipstick LLC (“New Lipstick”), a holding company which is the owner of Metropolitan. Metropolitan’s main asset is the Lipstick Building, a 34-story building located at 885 Third Avenue between 53 and 54 streets in Manhattan, New York. Metropolitan has incurred in a secured loan in connection with the Lipstick Building. For more information, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”

In March 2012, through our subsidiary Real Estate Strategies, L.P. (“RES”), we acquired 3,000,000 Series C convertible preferred shares issued by Condor in an aggregate amount of US$30 million, a REIT focused in middle-class and long-stay hotels in 20 states in the United States of America. During 2008 and 2009, the U.S. markets experienced extreme dislocations and a severe contraction in available liquidity globally as important segments of the credit markets were frozen. Global financial markets have been disrupted by, among other things, volatility in securities prices, rating downgrades and declining valuations. This disruption lead to a decline in business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment and precipitated an economic recession throughout the globe. As a consequence, owners and operators of commercial real estate, including hotels and resorts, and commercial real estate properties such as offices, experienced dramatic declines in property values. We are unable to predict if disruptions in the global financial markets will occur in the future and the impact that may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. is extended to our subsidiary Puerto Retiro, we will likely lose a significant investment in a unique waterfront land reserve in the City of Buenos Aires.

On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. (“Puerto Retiro”) was served notice of a filing made by the Argentine Government, through the Ministry of Defense, seeking to extend bankruptcy of Inversora Dársena Norte S.A. (“Indarsa”) to the Company. Upon filing of the complaint, the bankruptcy court issued an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro to dispose of, in any manner, the real property purchased in 1993 from Tandanor. Indarsa had acquired 90% of the capital stock in Tandanor from the Argentine Government in 1991. Tandanor’s main business involved ship repairs performed in a 19-hectare property located in the vicinity of La Boca neighborhood and where the Syncrolift is installed. As Indarsa failed to comply with its payment obligation for acquisition of the shares of stock in Tandanor, the Ministry of Defense filed a bankruptcy petition against Indarsa, seeking to extend it to us.

The evidentiary stage of the legal proceedings has concluded. We lodged an appeal from the injunction order, and such order was confirmed by the Court of Appeals on December 14, 2000. The parties filed the arguments in due time and proper manner. After the case was set for judgment, the judge ordered the suspension of the judicial order requesting the case records for issuance of a decision based on the alleged existence of pre-judgmental status in relation to the criminal case against former officials of the Ministry of Defense and our former executive officers, for which reason the case will not be adjudicated until a final judgment is entered in respect of the criminal case.

It has been made known to the commercial court that the expiration of the statute of limitations has been declared in the criminal action and the criminal defendants have been acquitted. However, this decision was reversed by the Criminal Court (Cámara de Casación Penal). An extraordinary appeal was filed and rejected, therefore an appeal was directly lodged with the Argentine Supreme Court for improper refusal to permit the appeal, and a decision is still pending.

Our Management and external legal counsel believe that there are sufficient legal and technical arguments to consider that the petition for an extension of the bankruptcy will be dismissed by the court. However, in view of the particular features and progress of the case, this position cannot be held to be conclusive.

In turn, Tandanor filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro and the other defendants in the criminal case for violation of Section 174 (5) based on Section 173 (7) of the Criminal Code. Such action seeks -on the basis of the nullity of the decree that approved the bidding process involving the Dársena Norte property- a reimbursement in favor of Tandanor for all such amounts it has allegedly lost as a result of a suspected fraudulent transaction involving the sale of the property disputed in the case.

In July 2013, the answer to the civil action was filed, which contained a number of defenses. Tandanor requested the intervention of the Argentine Government as third party co-litigant in this case, which petition was granted by the Court. In March 2015, both the Argentine Government and the criminal complainant answered the asserted defenses. On July 12, 2016, Puerto Retiro was legally notified of the decision adopted by the Tribunal Oral Federal N° 5 related to the preliminary objections above mentioned. Two of them were rejected –lack of information and lack of legitimacy (passive). We filed an appeal with regard to the rejection of these two objections. But, on the other hand, the other two objections will be considered at sentencing by the court, which is an important step in order to obtain a favorable decision. As of the date hereof, no resolution has been issued in such regard. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in getting this case dismissed.

Property ownership through joint ventures or minority participation may limit our ability to act exclusively in our interest.

In some cases, we develop and acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such structures. For example, we currently own 80% of Panamerican Mall S.A. (“PAMSA”), while another 20% is owned by Centro Comercial Panamericano S.A., and 50% of Quality Invest S.A. (“Quality Invest”). We could engage in a dispute with one or more of our joint venture partners that might affect our ability to operate a jointly-owned property. Moreover, our joint venture partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives, including objectives that relate to the timing and terms of any sale or refinancing of a property. For example, the approval of certain of the other investors is required with respect to operating budgets and refinancing, encumbering, expanding or selling any of these properties. In some instances, our joint venture partners may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflicts of interest. If the objectives of our joint venture partners are inconsistent with our own objectives, we will not be able to act exclusively in our interests.

If one or more of the investors in any of our jointly owned properties were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn of business, there could be an adverse effect on the relevant property or properties and in turn, on our financial performance. Should a joint venture partner declare bankruptcy, we could be liable for our partner’s common share of joint venture liabilities.

Dividend restrictions in our subsidiaries’ debt agreements may adversely affect it.

Dividends paid by our subsidiaries are an important source of funds for us as are other permitted payments from subsidiaries. The debt agreements of our subsidiaries contain covenants restricting their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions. If our subsidiaries are unable to make payments to us, or are able to pay only limited amounts, we may be unable to make payments on its indebtedness.

We are dependent on our Board of Directors.

Our success, to a significant extent, depends on the continued employment of Eduardo Sergio Elsztain and certain other members of our board of directors and senior management, who have significant expertise and knowledge of our business and industry. The loss or interruption in their services for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our future success also depends in part upon our ability to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel, or that any of our personnel will remain employed by us.

We may face potential conflicts of interest relating to our principal shareholders.

Our largest beneficial owner is Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, through his indirect shareholding through Cresud S.A.C.I.F.y A. (“Cresud”). As of June 30, 2016, such beneficial ownership consisted of: (i) 366,788,251 common shares held by Cresud, and (ii) 900 common shares held directly by Mr. Elsztain. See Item 7 – Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions. Conflicts of interest between our management, Cresud and our affiliates may arise in the performance of our business activities. As of June 30, 2016, Mr. Elsztain also beneficially owned (i) approximately 30.9% of Cresud’s common shares and (ii) approximately 94.6% of the common shares of our subsidiary IRSA Commercial Properties. We cannot assure you that our principal shareholders and their affiliates will not limit or cause us to forego business opportunities that our affiliates may pursue or that the pursuit of other opportunities will be in our interest.

Due to the currency mismatches between our assets and liabilities, we have currency exposure.

As of June 30, 2016, the majority of our liabilities in our Operations Center in Argentina, such as our Series II Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars while our revenues are mainly denominated in Pesos. This currency gap exposes us to a risk of volatility in the rate of exchange between the Peso and the U.S. dollar, and our financial results are adversely affected when the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Peso. Any depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. dollar correspondingly increases the nominal amount of our debt in Pesos, with further adversely effects our results of operation and financial condition and may increase the collection risk of our leases and other receivables from our tenants, most of which generate Peso-denominated revenues. Because we record the value of our investment properties in Argentina at acquisition cost plus capital expenditures less amortization, any depreciation or devaluation of the Peso will have an adverse effect on our financial statements.

Risks Related to our Investment in Banco Hipotecario

As of June 30, 2016, we owned approximately 29.91% of the outstanding capital stock of Banco Hipotecario S.A. (“Banco Hipotecario”), which represented 11% of our consolidated assets from our operations center in Argentina as of such date. All of Banco Hipotecario’s operations, properties and customers are located in Argentina. Accordingly, the quality of Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio, financial condition and results of operations depend on economic, regulatory and political conditions prevailing in Argentina. These conditions include growth rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, changes to interest rates, changes to government policies, social instability and other political, economic or international developments either taking place in, or otherwise affecting, Argentina.

Risks Relating to the Argentine Financial System and Banco Hipotecario

The short-term structure of the deposit base of the Argentine financial system, including Banco Hipotecario, could lead to a reduction in liquidity levels and limit the long-term expansion of financial intermediation.

Given the short-term structure of the deposit base of the Argentine financial system, credit lines are also predominantly short-term, with the exception of mortgages, which represent a low proportion of the existing credit base. Although liquidity levels are currently reasonable, no assurance can be given that these levels will not be reduced due to a future negative economic scenario. Therefore, there is still a risk of low liquidity levels that could increase funding cost in the event of a withdrawal of a significant amount of the deposit base of the financial system, and limit the long-term expansion of financial intermediation including Banco Hipotecario.

The stability of the financial system depends upon the ability of financial institutions, including ours, to maintain and increase the confidence of depositors.

The measures implemented by the Argentine government in late 2001 and early 2002, in particular the restrictions imposed on depositors to withdraw money freely from banks and the “pesification” and restructuring of their deposits, were strongly opposed by depositors due to the losses on their savings and undermined their confidence in the Argentine financial system and in all financial institutions operating in Argentina.

If depositors once again withdraw their money from banks in the future, there may be a substantial negative impact on the manner in which financial institutions, including ours, conduct their business, and on their ability to operate as financial intermediaries. Loss of confidence in the international financial markets may also adversely affect the confidence of Argentine depositors in local banks.

In the future, an adverse economic situation, even if it is not related to the financial system, could trigger a massive withdrawal of capital from local banks by depositors, as an alternative to protect their assets from potential crises. Any massive withdrawal of deposits could cause liquidity issues in the financial sector and, consequently, a contraction in credit supply.

The occurrence of any of the above could have a material and adverse effect on Banco Hipotecario’s expenses and business, results of operations and financial condition.

The asset quality of financial institutions is exposed to the non-financial public sector’s and Central Bank’s indebtedness.

Financial institutions carry significant portfolios of bonds issued by the Argentine government and by provincial governments as well as loans granted to these governments. The exposure of the financial system to the non-financial public sector’s indebtedness had been shrinking steadily, from 48.9% of total assets in 2002 to 10.3% in 2015 and 9.2% for the period of six months ended as June 30, 2016. To an extent, the value of the assets held by Argentine banks, as well as their capacity to generate income, is dependent on the creditworthiness of the non-financial public sector, which is in turn tied to the government’s ability to foster sustainable long-term growth, generate fiscal revenues and reduce public expenditure.

In addition, financial institutions currently carry securities issued by the Central Bank in their portfolios, which generally are short-term; as of June 30, 2016, such securities issued by the Central Bank represented approximately 23.6% of the total assets of the Argentine financial system. As of June 30, 2016, Banco Hipotecario’s total exposure to the public sector was Ps.7,517.5 million, which represented 20.3% of its assets as of that date, and the total exposure to securities issued by the Central Bank was Ps.1,499.8 million, which represented 4.1% of its total assets as of June 30, 2016.

The Consumer Protection Law may limit some of the rights afforded to Banco Hipotecario.

Argentine Law N° 24,240 (the “Consumer Protection Law”) sets forth a series of rules and principles designed to protect consumers, which include Banco Hipotecario’s customers. The Consumer Protection Law was amended by Law N° 26,361 on March 12, 2008 to expand its applicability and the penalties associated with violations thereof. Additionally, Law N° 25,065 (as amended by Law N° 26,010 and Law N° 26,361, the “Credit Card Law”) also sets forth public policy regulations designed to protect credit card holders. Recent Central Bank regulations, such as Communication “A” 5388, also protect consumers of financial services.

In addition, the Civil and Commercial Code has a chapter on consumer protection, stressing that the rules governing consumer relations should be applied and interpreted in accordance with the principle of consumer protection and that a consumer contract should be interpreted in the sense most favorable to it.

The application of both the Consumer Protection Law and the Credit Card Law by administrative authorities and courts at the federal, provincial and municipal levels has increased. This trend has increased general consumer protection levels. If Banco Hipotecario is found to be liable for violations of any of the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law or the Credit Card Law, the potential penalties could limit some of Banco Hipotecario’s rights, for example, with respect to its ability to collect payments due from services and financing provided by us, and adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s financial results of operations. We cannot assure you that court and administrative rulings based on the newly-enacted regulation or measures adopted by the enforcement authorities will not increase the degree of protection given to Banco Hipotecario’s debtors and other customers in the future, or that they will not favor the claims brought by consumer groups or associations. This may prevent or hinder the collection of payments resulting from services rendered and financing granted by us, which may have an adverse effect on Banco Hipotecario’s business and results of operations.

Class actions against financial institutions for unliquidated amounts may adversely affect the financial system’s profitability.

Certain public and private organizations have initiated class actions against financial institutions in Argentina. The National Constitution and the Consumer Protection Law contain certain provisions regarding class actions. However, their guidance with respect to procedural rules for instituting and trying class action cases is limited. Nonetheless, through an ad hoc doctrine, Argentine courts have admitted class actions in some cases, including various lawsuits against financial entities related to “collective interests” such as alleged overcharging on products, interest rates and advice in the sale of public securities, etc. If class action plaintiffs were to prevail against financial institutions, their success could have an adverse effect on the financial industry in general and indirectly on Banco Hipotecario’s business.

Banco Hipotecario operates in a highly regulated environment, and its operations are subject to regulations adopted, and measures taken, by several regulatory agencies.

Financial institutions are subject to a major number of regulations concerning functions historically determined by the Central Bank and other regulatory authorities. The Central Bank may penalize Banco Hipotecario and its directors, members of the Executive Committee, and members of its Supervisory Committee, in the event of any breach the applicable regulation. Potential sanctions, for any breach on the applicable regulations may vary from administrative and/or disciplinary penalties to criminal sanctions. Similarly, the CNV, which authorizes securities offerings and regulates the capital markets in Argentina, has the authority to impose sanctions on us and Banco Hipotecario’s Board of Directors for breaches of corporate governance established in the capital markets laws and CNV Rules. The Financial Information Unit (Unidad de Información Financiera, or “UIF” as per its acronym in Spanish) regulates matters relating to the prevention of asset laundering and has the ability to monitor compliance with any such regulations by financial institutions and, eventually, impose sanctions.

We cannot assure you whether such regulatory authorities will commence proceedings against Banco Hipotecario, its shareholders or directors, or its Supervisory Committee, or penalize Banco Hipotecario. This notwithstanding, and in addition to “Know Your Customer” compliance, Banco Hipotecario has implemented other policies and procedures to comply with its duties under currently applicable rules and regulations.

In addition to regulations specific to the banking industry, Banco Hipotecario is subject to a wide range of federal, provincial and municipal regulations and supervision generally applicable to businesses operating in Argentina, including laws and regulations pertaining to labor, social security, public health, consumer protection, the environment, competition and price controls. We cannot assure that existing or future legislation and regulation will not require material expenditures by Banco Hipotecario or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Banco Hipotecario’s consolidated operations.

Increased competition and M&A activities in the banking industry may adversely affect Banco Hipotecario.

Banco Hipotecario foresees increased competition in the banking sector. If the trend towards decreasing spreads is not offset by an increase in lending volumes, the ensuing losses could lead to mergers in the industry. These mergers could lead to the establishment of larger, stronger banks with more resources than us. Therefore, although the demand for financial products and services in the market continues to grow, competition may adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s results of operations, resulting in shrinking spreads and commissions.

Future governmental measures may adversely affect the economy and the operations of financial institutions.

The Argentine government has historically exercised significant influence over the economy, and financial institutions, in particular, have operated in a highly regulated environment. We cannot assure you that the laws and regulations currently governing the economy or the banking sector will remain unaltered in the future or that any such changes will not adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s business, financial condition or results of operations and Banco Hipotecario’s ability to honor its debt obligations in foreign currency.

Several legislative bills to amend the Financial Institutions Law have been sent to the Argentine Congress. If the law currently in force were to be comprehensively modified, the financial system as a whole could be substantially and adversely affected. If any of these legislative bills were to be enacted or if the Financial Institutions Law were amended in any other way, the impact of the subsequent amendments to the regulations on the financial institutions in general, Banco Hipotecario’s business, its financial condition and the results of operations is uncertain.

Law N° 26,739 was enacted to amend the Central Bank’s charter, the principal aspects of which are: (i) to broaden the scope of the Central Bank’s mission (by establishing that such institution shall be responsible for financial stability and economic development while pursuing social equity); (ii) to change the obligation to maintain an equivalent ratio between the monetary base and the amount of international reserves; (iii) to establish that the board of directors of the institution will be the authority responsible for determining the level of reserves required to guarantee normal operation of the foreign exchange market based on changes in external accounts; and (iv) to empower the monetary authority to regulate and provide guidance on credit through the financial system institutions, so as to “promote long-term production investment”.

In addition, the Civil and Commercial Code, among other things, modifies the applicable regime for contractual provisions relating to foreign currency payment obligations by establishing that foreign currency payment obligations may be discharged in Pesos. This amends the legal framework, pursuant to which debtors may only discharge their foreign currency payment obligations by making payment in the specific foreign currency agreed upon in their agreements; provided however that the option to discharge in Pesos a foreign currency obligation may be waived by the debtor is still under discussion.

We are not able to ensure that any current or future laws and regulations (including, in particular, the amendment to the Financial Institutions Law and the amendment to the Central Bank’s charter) will not result in significant costs to us, or will otherwise have an adverse effect on Banco Hipotecario’s operations.

Risks Relating to Banco Hipotecario’s Business

The quality of Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio could be impaired if the Argentine private sector continues to be affected in the event of a decrease in the level of activity.

Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio is concentrated on recession-sensitive segments and it is to a large extent dependent upon local and international economic conditions. This in turn might affect the creditworthiness of Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio and its results of operations.

Reduced spreads without corresponding increases in lending volumes could adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s profitability.

The spread for Argentina’s financial system between the interest rates on loans and deposits could be affected as a result of increased competition in the banking sector and the Argentine government’s tightening of monetary policy in response to inflation concerns. Since 2009, the interest rate spreads throughout the Argentine financial system have generally increased. This increase was sustained by a steady demand for consumer loans in recent years. In 2013 and 2014, borrowing and lending rates increased significantly. However, the net interest margin of the financial system remained stable due to a substantial growth both in the loan and deposit portfolios. In June 2014, the Central Bank established a system of maximum active benchmark rates for consumer loans and secured loans and additionally, in October 2014, established a new mechanism of regulation by setting a minimum deposit rate for certain deposits of natural persons.

We cannot guarantee that interest rate spreads will remain stable unless increases in lending or additional cost-cutting occurs. A reversal of this trend, or a new regulation imposing maximum active benchmark rates, could adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s profitability.

Banco Hipotecario’s obligations as trustee of the Programa de Crédito Argentino del Bicentenario para la Vivienda Única Familiar (“PROCREAR”) trust are limited.

Banco Hipotecario currently acts as trustee of the PROCREAR Trust, which aims to facilitate access to housing solutions by providing mortgage loans for construction and developing housing complexes across Argentina. Under the terms and conditions of the PROCREAR Trust, all the duties and obligations under the trust have to be settled with the trust estate. Notwithstanding, if the aforementioned is not met, Banco Hipotecario could have its reputation affected. In addition, if the Argentine government decides to terminate the PROCREAR Trust and/or terminate Banco Hipotecario’s role as trustee of the PROCREAR Trust, this may adversely affect Banco Hipotecario’s results of operations.

The Argentine Government might prevail at Banco Hipotecario’s General Shareholders’ Meetings.

By virtue of Law N° 23,696 (the “Privatization Law”), there are no restrictions on the Argentine Government’s ability to dispose of its Class A shares and all those shares minus one could be sold to third parties through public offering. Banco Hipotecario’s By-laws set forth that if at any time Class A shares were to represent less than 42% of Banco Hipotecario’s shares with right to vote, Class D shares automatically lose their triple vote right, which could result in the principal shareholders losing control of Banco Hipotecario. Should any such situation materialize and should the Argentine Government retain a sufficient number of Class A shares, the Argentine Government could prevail in Shareholders’ Meetings (except for some decisions that call for qualified majorities) and could thus exert actual control on the decisions that must be submitted to consideration by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Cybersecurity events could negatively affect Banco Hipotecario’s reputation, its financial condition and results of operations.

Banco Hipotecario has access to large amounts of confidential financial information and control substantial financial assets belonging to the customers as well as to Banco Hipotecario. In addition, Banco Hipotecario provides its customers with continuous remote access to their accounts and the possibility of transferring substantial financial assets by electronic means. Accordingly, cybersecurity is a material risk for Banco Hipotecario. Cybersecurity incidents, such as computer break-ins, phishing, identity theft and other disruptions could negatively affect the security of information stored in and transmitted through Banco Hipotecario ‘s computer systems and network infrastructure and may cause existing and potential customers to refrain from doing business with Banco Hipotecario.

In addition, contingency plans in place may not be sufficient to cover liabilities associated with any such events and, therefore, applicable insurance coverage may be deemed inadequate, preventing Banco Hipotecario from receiving full compensation for the losses sustained because of such a disruption.

Although Banco Hipotecario intends to continue to implement security technology devices and establish operational procedures to prevent such damage, we cannot assure you that all of Banco Hipotecario’s systems are entirely free from vulnerability and these security measures will be successful. If any of these events occur, it could damage Banco Hipotecario’s reputation, entail serious costs and affect Banco Hipotecario’s transactions, as well as its results of operations and financial condition.

A disruption or failure in any of Banco Hipotecario’s information technology systems could adversely affect its business.

Banco Hipotecario depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of internet-based data processing, communication and information exchange platforms and networks, including those systems related to the operation of Banco Hipotecario’s ATM network. Banco Hipotecario’s operations depend on its ability to manage its information technology systems and communications efficiently and without interruption. Banco Hipotecario’s communications, systems or transactions could be harmed or disrupted by fire, floods, power failures, defective telecommunications, computer viruses, electronic or physical theft and similar events or disruptions. In addition, Banco Hipotecario’s information technology systems and operations may suffer if its suppliers do not meet the delivery of products in a timely manner or decide to end the relationship with Banco Hipotecario.

Any of the foregoing events may cause disruptions in Banco Hipotecario’s information technology systems, delays and the loss of critical data, and could prevent Banco Hipotecario from operating at optimal levels. In addition, the contingency plans in place may not be sufficient to cover all those events and, therefore, this may mean that the applicable insurance coverage is limited or inadequate, preventing Banco Hipotecario from receiving full compensation for the losses sustained because of such a disruption. Also, Banco Hipotecario’s recovery of losses plan may not be enough to prevent damage resulting from all the cases and Banco Hipotecario’s insurance coverage could be inadequate to cover losses from interruptions. If any of these assumptions occur Banco Hipotecario’s reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Differences in the accounting standards between Argentina and certain countries with developed capital markets, such as the United States, may make it difficult to compare Banco Hipotecario’s financial statements and those prepared by companies from these other countries.

Publicly available information about Banco Hipotecario in Argentina is presented differently from the information available for registered public companies in certain countries with highly developed capital markets, such as the United States. Except as otherwise described herein, Banco Hipotecario prepares its financial statements in accordance with Central Bank GAAP, which differ in certain significant respects from Argentine GAAP and from U.S. GAAP.

Operations Center in Israel

Risks related to Israel

Conditions in Israel could adversely affect our subsidiary IDBD.

Our subsidiary IDB Development Corporation is incorporated and operates in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect IDBD’s business. Since the State of Israel was established in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Israel’s Arab neighbors. Although Israel has entered into various agreements with Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority, there has been an increase in unrest and terrorist activity, which began in September 2000 and has continued with varying levels of severity. Starting in December 2008, for approximately three weeks, Israel engaged in an armed conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which involved missile strikes against civilian targets in various parts of Israel and negatively affected business conditions in Israel. In November 2012, for approximately one week, Israel experienced a similar armed conflict, resulting in hundreds of rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip and disrupting most day-to-day civilian activity in southern Israel. Due to these conflicts, political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect IDBD and could result in physical damage to its related facilities or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners. If IDBD’s assets are damaged as a result of hostile action or hostilities otherwise disrupt its ongoing operations, IDBD’s business could be materially adversely affected. We do not believe that the political and security situation has had any material impact on IDBD to date; however, we can give no assurance that security and political conditions will not have such effect in the future. Any armed conflict, political instability or continued violence in the region, or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners may have a negative effect on the Israeli economy and IDBD and adversely affect the results of operations, business, and financial condition, thereby negatively impacting its ability to generate revenue.

Israel’s economy may become unstable.

Over the years, the Israeli economy has been subject to periods of inflation, low foreign exchange reserves, fluctuations in world commodity prices, military conflicts and civil unrest. For these and other reasons, the government of Israel has, from time to time, intervened in the economy employing fiscal and monetary policies. The Israeli government has periodically changed its policies in these areas. Reoccurrence of previous destabilizing factors could make it more difficult for IDBD to operate its business and could adversely affect its financial results.

In the years in which there is strong economic activity and positive growth in the Israeli economy, there is an increase in demand. Conversely, in times of financial crisis, demand decreases, which would adversely affect the results of IDBD and, in turn, adversely affect our consolidated results.

The compliance of the new provisions of the Reduced Centralization Act may have an adverse material impact in IDBD’s results of operations.

In December 2013, the official “Reshumot” published in Israel the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Centralization Law, 5774-2013 (the “Reduced Centralization Act”), which imposes certain limits in the ownership and control of reporting companies.

One provision limits the pyramidal structure (or multiholding companies) of control in reporting companies (in special entities whose securities are held by public shareholders) to two layers of entities (with the holding company in the first layer not including a reporting entity that has no controlling shareholder). In case Discount Investment is considered a second-tier company, it would be prohibited to control publicly held companies. IDBD may be required to merge Discount Investments in order to enable continued control of IDBD and/or Discount Investments in other companies.

In connection with evaluating the application of the Law, in August 2014, IDBD’s Board of Directors appointed an advisory committee to examine various alternatives to address the implications of the Law to comply with the provisions that apply to control in a pyramid o multiholding company structure in order to enable continued control of IDBD and/or Discount Investments in “other tier companies” (currently held directly by Discount Investments) as of December 2019. The advisory committee has recommended the following alternatives:

(a)

Taking either IDBD or Discount Investments private thereby removing the requirement that they be reporting entities (and as a result not a “tier company”); and

(b)

Merge IDBD and Discount Investments.

The Board of Directors of Discount Investments has appointed an advisory committee with a similar function. As of the date of this Annual Report, no specific alternatives have been identified. The implementation of an alternative that would be adopted is likely to take several years.

Based on these analyses, IDBD considers it more likely that the completion of one of the specified alternatives will be adopted to comply with the restrictions of the Law regarding pyramidal holdings, while allowing IDBD to continue to control Discount Investments, and Discount Investments to continue to control Cellcom after December 2019. PBC, which currently is a third-tier company that controls each of Gav-Yam, Ispro and Mehadrin, has preliminarily evaluated application of the Law on its holding structure and determined that it will be able to maintain said control, as it has concluded that the Law has no effect over its financial statements.

Another new provision determines the separation of significant affiliates and significant financial institutions. In May 2015, companies of Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises (except Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises), including Clal Insurance and Epsilon Investment House Ltd. (held by Discount Investments) were included in the list of the significant financial institutions published in the website Ministry of Finance and the official gazette in connection with the Reduced Centralization Act. Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises was included in the list as a significant corporation. The classification of Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises as a significant corporation directly impacts its control over Clal Insurance.

In December 2014, Israel’s concentration committee issued directives for the appointment of a trustee in Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises to hold the control currently held by IDBD. In addition, in December 30, 2014, the committee delivered a notification requesting IDBD to sell its interest in Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises. The sale arrangement outlined in the letter involves IDBD’s and the Trustee’s interests in the sale process under different options and timeframes. As of June 30, 2016, the current sale arrangement involved the sale of the interest in the stock exchange or by over-the-counter trades, as per the following detail and by the following dates:

a. IDBD would have to sell at least 5% of its equity interest in Clal from May 7, 2016.

b. During each of the subsequent four-month periods, IDBD would have to sell at least an additional 5% of its equity interest in Clal.

c. If IDBD sells more than 5% of its equity interest in Clal in any given four-month period, the percentage in excess of the required 5% would be offset against the percentage required in the following period.

As a result we record our investment in CLAL as a financial asset at market value through profit or loss. The request to sell the shares of CLAL in 5% tranches could cause a negative impact on the market price. A decrease in the market price of Clal’s shares would cause an immediate effect in our income statements and financial results.

Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises appealed to the committee, requesting a reclassification of its status of significant corporation. Dolphin filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice of Israel on the Tel Aviv-Jaffo Court’s Decision. We cannot assure that we will be successful in our appealing with the concentration committee.

The compliance of the Reduced Centralization Act, in particular the provisions related to reporting companies in pyramid structure (or multiholding companies) and separation of significant corporations and significant financial corporations, may have a material adverse impact on IDBD’s business and results of operations and, as a consequence, a negative effect on the value of our investment in IDBD. For more information about the Reduced Centralization Act and potential implications of its provisions on IDBD and its subsidiaries, see “Item 4 – Information on the Company”.

IDBD’s operations may be disrupted by the obligations of personnel to perform military service.

IDBD’s Israeli employees may be called upon to perform up to 36 days (and in some cases more) of annual military reserve duty until they reach the age of 40 (and in some cases, up to the age of 45 or older) and, in emergency circumstances, could be called to permanent active duty. In response to increased tension and hostilities, there have been occasional call-ups of military reservists, including in connection with the mid-2006 war in Lebanon and the December 2008 and November 2012 conflicts with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It is possible that there will be additional call-ups in the future. IDBD could be disrupted by the absence of a significant number of employees or the absence of one or more key employees for extended periods of times due to military service. Such disruption could materially adversely affect IDBD’s business and its results of operations. Additionally, the absence of a significant number of the employees of IDBD’s Israeli suppliers and contractors or the absence of one or more key employees for extended periods of time due to military service may disrupt their operations and thereby materially adversely affect IDBD’s ability to generate revenue and, in turn, adversely affect our consolidated results.

Political relations could limit IDBD’s ability to do business internationally.

Several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region continues or increases. These restrictions may materially limit IDBD’s ability to export or import certain services, or reduce the domestic demand for its products and services as a result of the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners, which could adversely affect IDBD’s ability to generate revenue and, in turn, adversely affect our consolidated results.

IDBD may face difficulties in exporting offshore.

Israel’s export policy currently sets forth certain restrictions that may be unfavorable to IDBD’s activities. Changes in customs tariffs for goods and in policy on protecting local production may impact the results of some IDBD’s subsidiaries and/ or associates. In addition, the possibility of exportation and sales in Israel depends on several factors, such as establishment of export and transportation facilities, obtaining regulatory approvals, the economic viability of exports, geopolitical challenges, identification of potential customers in the international market, and financing investments in development and establishment of the export projects. In view of the complexity and potential limited ability to export, IDBD may be unable to export surplus supply and this may materially adversely affect the its financial results.

IDBD’s business is subject to substantial regulation and permit requirements in Israel and may be materially adversely affected if it is unable to comply with existing regulations or requirements, or changes in applicable regulations or requirements.

Our subsidiary IDBD is subject to a number of laws and regulations affecting many aspects of its present and future operations, as well as permits from Israeli government authorities. Such laws and regulations generally require that IDBD obtain and comply with a wide variety of licenses, permits and other approvals.

In recent years there is a trend of increased legislation, standards and regulations in various sectors of Israel’s economy. Legislative changes in various areas in Israel, such as reducing economic concentration, promoting competition and laws concerning anti-trust, taxation, mandatory tender offers, regulation of the communications market, supervision of insurance business, corporate law and securities law, laws concerning supervision of prices of goods and services, consumer protection laws, environmental protection laws, planning and construction laws. This trend may impact the business and financial results of IDBD and its subsidiaries, their financial results and trading price of their securities. Furthermore, changes in policy applied by various Israeli authorities pursuant to these laws may also have similar impact.

Under these and other laws and regulations, IDBD could be subject to business restructurings, changes in its corporate structure, business strategy and other corporate adaptations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may also result in the suspension or termination of IDBD’s operations and subject them to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that could substantially increase its costs. Any such liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could have a material adverse effect on IDBD’s financial condition and results of operations. Stricter regulation applicable to IDBD’s business, restrictive trade practices, control of prices and similar factors, may materially adversely affect IDBD’s businesses.

IDBD’s activities are subject to approvals, permits and licenses awarded to them by law by various authorities (such as: the Commissioner of Capital Market, Ministry of Communications, Ministry of Environmental Protection, Petroleum Supervisor at the Ministry of Energy and Water). Failure to comply with terms and conditions of such approvals, permits or licenses may result in sanctions being imposed (including criminal sanctions) on the companies in breach, including fines and/or termination of the relevant approvals, permits or licenses. Some of the aforementioned licenses are for a limited term and may be renewed from time to time, all subject to terms and conditions thereof and to statutory provisions. As of the date hereof, we cannot predict what changes (if any) will be made with respect to future licensing and other regulatory matters. Furthermore, there is no certainty that IDBD’s existing licenses will be renewed at the end of their terms or that there will not be a change in the licenses’ conditions.

We cannot assure that the existing laws and regulations will not be revised or reinterpreted, that new laws and regulations will not be adopted or become applicable to IDBD, or that future changes in laws and regulations will not have a detrimental effect on its business. Although not currently required, additional regulatory approvals may be required in the future due to a change in laws and regulations or for other reasons. We cannot assure that IDBD will be able to obtain all required regulatory approvals that may be required in the future, or any necessary modifications to existing regulatory approvals, or maintain all required regulatory approvals.

Changes in regulations, licensing or any other regulatory matters could adversely affect IDBD’s ability to generate revenues. This, in turn, could represent a negative effect in our consolidated results.

IDBD may be adversely affected by class actions on consumer-related matters and environmental protection-related matters

The nature of the business developed by certain IDBD’s subsidiaries, namely Cellcom and Shufersal, the investment in Clal and the associate Adama, exposes these companies to class actions with regard to consumer issues and issues related to environmental protection, such as ionizing radiation from cellular devices, emissions, water, noise and smell pollution. Moreover, in most cases, our patients may benefit from Israeli consumer protection laws, which provide special procedural rules, such as the shifting of the burden of proof, strict liability and joint and several liability for damage caused by companies outsourced by us to provide specific services. The amount involved in this type of class action can be sumptuous, in special in issues related to environmental protection, and might even exceed IDBD’s shareholders equity, and must defend against such lawsuits at significant cost, even if such lawsuits are unfounded. If the decisions in any such actions are unfavorable to IDBD, it might be required to pay heavy fines to cover damages. Any proceeding involving consumer complaints may also adversely affect IDBD’s reputation and, consequently, its client base. Class actions may adversely affect IDBD’s financial condition and materially adversely affect its reputation. As a result, IDBD’s is subject to a potential decrease in the number of clients and in its gross operating revenue. Consequently, IDBD’s business, results of operations, financial condition and the market price of its securities may be adversely affected.

Risks related to IDBD and IDBD’s subsidiaries and/ or associates

Most of our revenues are generated by IDBD, an entity incorporated and operating in Israel.

IDBD is incorporated in Israel, where it operates the totality of its business. As of June 30, 2016, IDBD’s revenues corresponded to approximately 86.4% of our total revenues for our fiscal year then ended. IDBD’s activities are subject to Israel’s political, economic and military conditions and also to extensive Israeli regulation related to, among other matters, licensing, competition, rates and environmental practices. There can be no assurance that governmental policies in Israel or the current regulations will not change in the future and adversely affect IDBD’s business. We are unable to predict whether IDBD’s success will continue to prosper in Israeli markets. For more information, please refer to the risk factors under “—Risks Related to Israel.”

IDBD may not be able to comply with financial commitments with its creditors and to fully comply with Israeli laws, which would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and on its ability to continue as a going concern.

On October 11, 2015, we gained effective control over IDBD and started consolidating IDBD’s results of operations.

IDBD’s activities were materially affected with the promulgation of the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Centralization Law Nº 5.774-13 (the “Reduced Centralization Act”) published in December 2013. In order to fully comply with this law, IDBD could be forced to adopt some adverse measures, such as dispose its controlling interest in Clal or to merge with DIC. For more information about the Reduced Centralization Act and potential implications of its provisions on IDBD and its subsidiaries, see “Item 4 – Information on the Company”.

IDBD is also subject to compliance with certain covenants under its debt arrangements. Although IDBD has successfully negotiated waivers to these covenants with its creditors valid until December 2016, we cannot assure that it will be successful in renegotiating an extension or other new terms. If IDBD is unable to renegotiate or, as an alternative, to raise additional capital, the original covenants of such arrangements will become effective again and creditors could require immediate repayment of the debt.

All factors mentioned above raise significant uncertainties as to IDBD’s capacity to continue as a going-concern. IDBD’s ability to continue as a going concern will depend on its ability in renegotiating the terms of its arrangements, in raising additional funds and also its ability to fully comply with Israel authority’s demands.

IDBD is currently exploring alternative measures to meet its future liquidity requirements and is making payments to significant creditors as cash flow permits. IDBD is in ongoing contact with its creditors regarding future payments, and is attempting to resolve issues regarding its late payments or non-payments. Based on its future cash flow projections, IDBD expects to have the required liquidity to meet its commitments by issuing new debt in Israel, selling financial assets such as Clal and dividend payouts by Clal. IDBD could also secure additional financing through the private issuance of equity securities. However, there can be no assurance that IDBD will be able to resolve these matters satisfactorily, and if it is unable to do so, it may be unable to pay out debts as they become due and could be subject to litigation regarding non-payment that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that makes references to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, which discloses the existence of risks and uncertainties in relation to IDBD and indicating that our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the valuation of IDBD’s assets and liabilities that would be required if IDBD were not able to continue as a going-concern.

The outcome of the arbitration proceedings between Dolphin and ETH is uncertain and may have an adverse effect on our business.

The arbitration process between Dolphin an ETH (a non-related company established under the laws of the State of Israel, which was presented to Dolphin as a company controlled by Mordechay Ben Moshé) regarding certain matters related to the acquisition and obtainment of control of IDBD, though partially resolved, is still pending.

On September 24, 2015, the competent arbitrator resolved that: (i) Dolphin and IFISA were entitled to act as buyers in the BMBY process, and ETH had to sell all of the IDBD shares held by it at a price of NIS 1.64 per share; (ii) The buyer had to fulfill all of the commitments included in the Arrangement, including the commitment to carry out Tender Offers; (iii) The buyer had to pledge in favor of the Arrangement Trustees the shares that were previously pledged in favor of the Arrangement Trustees by the seller.

However, Dolphin and ETH still have counterclaims of different kinds which are subject to such arbitration proceeding, which, as of the filing date of this Annual Report, is still being heard. There can be no assurances of the final outcome of this process. Should the arbitrator rule in favor of ETH, the value of our investment in IDBD could be severely affected and therefore would likely have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

IDBD’s subsidiaries do business abroad and might be subject to foreign regulation and, therefore, are subject to substantial foreign regulations and permit requirements and may be materially adversely affected if it is unable to comply with existing regulations or requirements, or changes in applicable regulations or requirements

Some of IDBD subsidiaries do business overseas or their securities are traded on foreign stock exchanges. Changes in legislation and regulatory policy in foreign countries as well as characteristics of the business environment in the operating country may impact the financial results and business standing of those companies.

Changes in international financial reporting standards or in accounting principles applicable to IDBD and its subsidiaries may impact various data (including equity attributable to equity holders and earnings) reported on the financial statements of IDBD and its subsidiaries, their compliance with financial covenants, if any, their compliance with terms and conditions of permits and licenses awarded to them and their capacity to distribute dividends. We cannot assure that the existing laws and regulations in the countries where IDBD’s subsidiaries and/ or associates have operations will not be revised or reinterpreted, that new laws and regulations will not be adopted or become applicable to IDBD’s subsidiaries and/ or associates, or that future changes in laws and regulations will not have a detrimental effect on its business. Although not currently required, additional regulatory approvals may be required in the future due to a change in laws and regulations or for other reasons. We cannot assure that IDBD’s subsidiaries and/ or associates will be able to obtain all required regulatory approvals that may be required in the future, or any necessary modifications to existing regulatory approvals, or maintain all required regulatory approvals in the countries in which they operate.

Changes in regulations, licensing or any other regulatory matters in the countries where IDBD’s subsidiaries and/ or associates operate could adversely affect their ability to generate revenues. This, in turn, could represent a negative effect in IDBD’s and, as consequence, in our consolidated results.

IDBD’s subsidiary Property and Building (“PBC”) operates in real estate industry, and is exposed to the risks inherent to that industry.

As part of the real estate industry, PBC face similar risks as described above, regarding our Operation Center in Argentina, such as:

“Our performance is subject to risks associated with our properties and with the real estate industry.”

“An adverse economic environment for real estate companies such as a credit crisis may adversely impact our results of operations and business prospects significantly”

“We may face risks associated with property acquisitions.”

“Our future acquisitions may be unprofitable.”

“Properties we acquire may subject us to unknown liabilities.”

“Our dependence on rental income may adversely affect our ability to meet our debt obligations.”

“It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly and transfer restrictions may apply to part of our portfolio of properties.”

“We are subject to risks inherent to the operation of office buildings that may affect our profitability.”

“The recurrence of a credit crisis could have a negative impact on our major customers, which in turn could materially adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.”

IDBD’s subsidiary Shufersal operates in the retail industry, which is a highly regulated industry in Israel.

Israeli legislation with respect to sanitation licensing, as well as new consumer legislation which confers extensive authority upon the Israel Consumer Protection and Fair Trade Authority, consumer legislation and the increased enforcement thereof, and increased oversight of prices or increases in the minimum wage, may adversely affect the business affairs of Shufersal, its financial position and its results of operations. An increase in the minimum wage may adversely affect the financial results of Shufersal, including its profitability. Additionally, the regulator’s determinations regarding the rules for conduct between the large marketing chains, of which Shufersal is one, and dominant suppliers in the food supply segment, including by virtue of the provisions of the Food Law, and regarding the merger of Shufersal with Clubmarket, which is one of the largest retail chains in Israel, may adversely affect Shufersal’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Shufersal faces intense competition in all aspects of its business.

Shufersal closely monitors the developments in the retail sector, and adjusts its operations, if and insofar as is required, in accordance with those developments. Shufersal faces intense competition, especially as it proceeds with full implementation of its business plan. Competitive pressures, including the responses of competitors to Shufersal’s strategy and the manner of its implementation, may adversely affect Shufersal’s ability to deal with competition, and may lead to lower pricing and the loss of market share in a manner which may have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The entry of new competitors into markets in which Shufersal is engaged, or the entry of existing competitors into segments in which they were not previously active, could adversely affect Shufersal’s business.

An ineffective wholesale market for retail, the offering of services not in accordance with the criteria of the wholesale market, or the pricing thereof by competitors in order to expand market share could harm Shufersal’s ability to offer competitive services and its competitive position. If Shufersal is unable to manage its competition in an effective manner, its future results might be adversely affected.

The sale of Adama is subject to Chinese regulatory and antitrust approvals and the sale transaction may not be completed.

On July 17, 2016, our indirect subsidiary DIC, agreed to sell its remaining 40% in Adama to ChemChina for cash consideration of US$ 230 million and cancellation of a loan due to a Chinese bank. It is expected that the sale transaction be consummated by the first week of November 2016, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the receipt of Chinese regulatory and antitrust approvals. Upon completion of the transaction, each party will waive all claims and demands against each other. If the sale transaction is not completed for any reason, the value of our investment in IDBD could be materially adversely affected and therefore would likely have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

IDBD’s subsidiary Cellcom operates in telecommunications industry, which is a highly regulated industry in Israel. In recent years, regulation in Israel has materially adversely affected Cellcom’s results.

A substantial part of Cellcom’s operations is subject to the Israeli Communications Law No. 1982, the Israeli Wireless Telegraph Ordinance (New Version) No. 1972, the regulations promulgated thereunder and the licenses for the provision of different telecommunications services that Cellcom received from the Ministry of Communications in accordance with the Communications Law. The interpretation and implementation of the Communications Law, Wireless Telegraph Ordinance and regulations and the provisions of its general licenses, as well as its other licenses, are not certain and subject to change, and disagreements have arisen and may arise in the future between the Ministry of Communications and us. The Communications Law and regulations thereunder grant the Ministry of Communications extensive regulatory and supervisory authority with regard to its activities, as well as the authority to impose substantial sanctions in the event of a breach of its licenses or the applicable laws and regulations. Further, in the event that Cellcom materially violate the terms of its licenses, the Ministry of Communications has the authority to revoke them. Cellcom’s operations are also subject to the regulatory and supervisory authority of other Israeli regulators which have the authority to impose criminal and administrative sanctions against us.

Cellcom’s general cellular license is valid until February 2022. It may be extended for additional six-year periods upon request to the Ministry of Communications and confirmation from the Ministry of Communications that Cellcom has complied with the provisions of its license and applicable law, has invested in the improvement of its service and network and has demonstrated the ability to do so in the future. Netvision’s unified licenses (granted in July 2015 and amended in February 2016) under which Netvision is providing landline telephony services, internet connectivity services, or ISP, and international long distance services, or ILD, are valid until March 2026 and February 2022, respectively, and may be extended for additional ten year periods, on terms similar to those provided in its cellular license. Cellcom’s other licenses are also limited in time. Cellcom’s licenses may not be extended when requested, or, if extended, the extensions may be granted on terms that are less favorable to Cellcom. In addition, the Ministry of Communications has interpreted and may interpret its licenses and has modified and may modify its licenses without Cellcom’s consent and in a manner that could limit its ability to conduct its business and harm its results of operations. Possible changes to its licenses and legislation which would require us to change its pricing plans and information systems frequently or on a timetable Cellcom cannot meet, can increase the risk of noncompliance with its licenses or violation of such legislation and its exposure to lawsuits and regulatory sanctions.

IDBD’s subsidiary Cellcom faces intense competition in all aspects of its business.

The Israeli telecommunications market is highly competitive in many of its elements, including the cellular and landline service markets. The competition level has increased substantially in recent years, following the entry of additional competitors and regulatory changes alleviating entry barriers and transfer barriers. Also, there is a continued increase of competition in the end user equipment market. In the last year, Cellcom entered both the TV market through its OTT TV service and the landline infrastructure market, through the landline wholesale market (VDSL). In the other markets Cellcom operates in and specifically in the cellular market, the intensified competition led to price competition, the adverse effects of which include a high churn rate and high subscriber acquisition costs, in addition to continued price erosion, all of which have ultimately led to a material decrease in revenues and profitability for us and other MNOs. The current level of competition in all the markets in which Cellcom operates and aggressive price plan offerings by its competitors are expected to continue. The entry of new competitors into markets in which Cellcom is engaged, or the entry of existing competitors into segments in which they were not previously active, or were partially active, as a result of regulatory changes, would allow other operators to provide services currently provided only by Cellcom to its subscribers.

An ineffective wholesale market for landline communication, including due to the exclusion of telephony services from the wholesale market, the offering of services not in accordance with the criteria of the wholesale market, or the pricing thereof in a manner which could harm Cellcom’s ability to offer competitive services packages, and competition on the part of Bezeq and Hot (due to their dominant status in the landline communication market), particularly if the cancellation or easement of the structural separation which applies to the Bezeq and Hot groups is implemented before the creation of an effective wholesale market in the landline communication market. We are unable to foresee if the current high level of competition and trends will continue in the future or if it will continue to affect Cellcom results of operations. In case Cellcom is unable to manage its competition in an effective manner, its future results might be adversely affected.

Cellcom may be adversely affected by the significant technological and other changes in the cellular communications industry.

The telecommunications market is known for rapid and significant technological changes and requires ongoing investments in advanced technologies in order to remain competitive. In recent years Cellcom has witnessed a growing demand for Internet, content and data through advanced third and fourth generation cellular phones, smartphones, modems, tablets and other devices using cellular data that resulted in a rapid and immense growth of data traffic on cellular networks and required cellular operators to upgrade their networks to accord such demand. Transfer of subscribers to unlimited packages of services and national roaming on its network, have contributed to the substantially growing demand for data traffic on its network, as well as to voice and text messages.

We estimate that data traffic will continue to rapidly grow in the future. To meet the growing demand for cellular data traffic, Cellcom is required, among others, to continue its investment in its 4G network and upgrading its transmission network, to allow larger capacity and higher data speed rates. In addition, as in order to provide optimal performance, its LTE network requires additional frequencies to those allocated to us under the LTE frequencies tender (as the Ministry of Communications expects us to evacuate 12 1800MHz which were allocated to us for its 2G network, to be used by its LTE network), Cellcom is in the process of allocating additional 1800MHz to its LTE network, in areas where lower usage of its 2G network, together with advanced and modern equipment and software features, allows such allocation, with negligible adverse effect to its 2G network performance. Nonetheless, such limited quantity of frequencies may adversely affect its network performance, specifically if Cellcom cannot use additional frequencies under network sharing agreements, as its 4G network will have 15MHz at most (similar to Pelephone’s network, unless Pelephone enters a network sharing agreement), whereas Partner and Hot’s 4G combined network enjoys 20MHz.

If Cellcom fails to obtain or maintain favorable arrangements with foreign telecommunications operators, its services may be less attractive or less profitable.

Cellcom relies on agreements with cellular providers outside Israel to provide roaming capabilities to its cellular subscribers in many areas outside Israel. Cellcom cannot control or compel the improvement of the quality of the service that they provide and it may be inferior or less advanced than the service that it provides. Some of Cellcom’s competitors may be able to obtain lower roaming rates than it does because they may have larger call volumes or can use more favorable agreements of their overseas affiliates. If Cellcom’s competitors’ providers can deliver a higher quality, more advanced or a more cost effective roaming service, then subscribers may migrate to those competitors and its results of operation could be adversely affected, more so if the proposed amendment to its license, allowing other operators to provide roaming services to its subscribers, will be adopted.

In recent years, roaming tariffs for Cellcom’s subscribers have decreased. If roaming tariffs continue to decrease including as a result of the increasing competition or the changing regulation, this could adversely affect its profitability and results of operations. Inbound roaming to its network is also influenced by its ability to maintain favorable roaming arrangements. The entry of additional UMTS providers has not only increased competition regarding outgoing roaming services but also increased competition on inbound roaming services. Additional operators or the abovementioned proposed amendment to its license, may increase such competition further. Cellcom also relies on agreements with foreign carriers to provide ILD services by Netvision as well as its international voice hubbing (providing ILD services to foreign operators) services. The risks detailed above in relation to roaming services and possible effects of such risks, apply to Netvision’s ILD and hubbing services as well.

Cellcom’s substantial debt increases its exposure to market risks, may limit its ability to incur additional debt that may be necessary to fund its operations and could adversely affect its financial stability; regulatory change, market terms and its financial results may affect its possibilities to raise debt.

IDBD’s investment Clal operates in the insurance industry, which is a highly regulated industry in Israel. Therefore, Clal is subject to substantial regulations and permit requirements in the insurance area and may be materially adversely affected if it is unable to comply with existing regulations or requirements, or changes in applicable regulations or requirements.

Clal is exposed to changes in legislation and regulation which pertain to its operating segments. In particular, some of the regulatory changes which were recently implemented and proposed, may adversely affect components of the business model in the sector. Additionally, changes in legislation and regulation, including circulars, determinations in principle, position papers and provisions which the Commissioner of Capital Markets is authorized to impose in connection with changes to policy terms, including policy premiums which may affect Clal, including with reference to products which were sold in the past, both by way of retroactive application and due to their effect on the interpretation of agreements which were signed in the past.

Significant operations in Clal are subject to detailed and complex regulation. In particular, the insurance and long-term savings activities are subject to regulatory directives which change from time to time, with respect to products which were sold over many years, and which have long insurance coverage periods and/or savings periods. Non-compliance with the regulatory requirements, including by mistake, may lead to sanctions, including the revocation of licenses and permits and monetary fines, against Clal, also as part of audits on behalf of oversight entities, and may serve as a basis for claims against it.

Risks Related to the GDSs and the Common Shares

Shares eligible for sale could adversely affect the price of our common shares and GDSs.

The market prices of our common shares and GDS could decline as a result of sales by our existing shareholders of common shares or GDSs in the market, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales also might make it difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

The GDSs are freely transferable under U.S. securities laws, including common shares sold to our affiliates. Cresud, which as of June 30, 2016, owned approximately 63.38% of our common shares (or approximately 366,788,251 common shares which may be exchanged for an aggregate of 36,678,825 GDSs), is free to dispose of any or all of its common shares or GDSs at any time in its discretion. Sales of a large number of our common shares and/or GDSs would likely have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and GDSs.

If we issue additional equity securities in the future, you may suffer dilution, and trading prices for our equity securities may decline.

We may issue additional shares of our common stock for financing future acquisitions or new projects or for other general corporate purposes, although there is no present intention to do so. Any such issuance could result in a dilution of your ownership stake and/or the perception of any such issuances could have an adverse impact on the market price of the GDSs.

We are subject to certain different corporate disclosure requirements and accounting standards than domestic issuers of listed securities in the United States

There may be less publicly available information about the issuers of securities listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Market (“Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires” or “MERVAL” as per its acronym in spanish) than is regularly published by or about domestic issuers of listed securities in the United States and certain other countries.

We are exempt from the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

The identification of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting could negative affect the trading price of our shares or GDSs

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate Internal Control over Financial Reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting includes a series of procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with IFRS and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and that the relevant entity’s or division’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of fiscal year 2014 were not effective given to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was related to the accounting for derivative financial instruments derived from non-routine complex contractual provisions in the context of the acquisition of an associate and was already remediated. Under this concept, a material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in the internal control over financial reporting that may reasonably cause that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. See “Controls and Procedures - A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.”

Any failure to implement and/ or maintain improvements in the controls over our financial reporting, or any difficulties encountered in the implementation of such improvements, could result in a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements that: (i) may not be prevented or detected; and/or, (ii) may cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations under the applicable securities laws. This situation may also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, and this could have an adverse impact on the trading price of our shares or GDSs.

Investors may not be able to effect service of process within the U.S., limiting their recovery of any foreign judgment.

We are a publicly held stock corporation (sociedad anónima) organized under the laws of Argentina. Most of our directors and our senior managers, are located in Argentina. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against us or them in United States court judgments obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws. There is doubt whether the Argentine courts will enforce, to the same extent and in as timely a manner as a U.S. or foreign court, an action predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or other foreign regulations brought against such persons or against us.

If we are considered to be a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of our common shares or GDSs would suffer negative consequences.

Based on the current and projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ending June 30, 2016, and we do not currently expect to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition or if our projections are not accurate. The volatility and instability of Argentina’s economic and financial system may substantially affect the composition of our income and assets and the accuracy of our projections. In addition, this determination is based on the interpretation of certain U.S. Treasury regulations relating to rental income, which regulations are potentially subject to differing interpretation. If we become a PFIC, U.S. Holders (as defined in “Taxation—United States Taxation”) of our common shares or GDSs will be subject to certain United States federal income tax rules that have negative consequences for U.S. Holders such as additional tax and an interest charge upon certain distributions by us or upon a sale or other disposition of our common shares or GDSs at a gain, as well as reporting requirements. Please see ‘‘Taxation—United States Taxation—Passive Foreign Investment Company” for a more detailed discussion of the consequences if we are deemed a PFIC. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your particular circumstances.

Changes in Argentine tax laws may adversely affect the tax treatment of our common shares or GDSs.

On September 23, 2013, the Argentine income tax law was amended by the passage of Law N° 26,893. Under the amended law, the distribution of dividends is subject to income tax at a rate of 10%, unless the dividends are distributed to Argentine corporate entities. In addition, the amended law establishes that the sale, exchange or other transfer of shares and other securities is subject to a capital gain tax at a rate of 15% for Argentine resident individuals and foreign beneficiaries. There is an exemption for Argentine resident individuals if certain requirements are met; however, there is no such exemption for non-Argentine residents. See “Item 10.E - Taxation —Argentine Taxation”. However, as of the date hereof many aspects of the amended tax law remain unclear and, pursuant to certain announcements made by Argentine tax authorities, they are subject to further rulemaking and interpretation, which may adversely affect the tax treatment of our common shares and/or GDSs.

The income tax treatment of income derived from the sale of GDSs, dividends or exchanges of shares from the GDS facility may not be uniform under the revised Argentine income tax law. The possibly varying treatment of source income could impact both Argentine resident holders as well as non-Argentine resident holders. In addition, should a sale of GDSs be deemed to give rise to Argentine source income, as of the date of this annual report no regulations have been issued regarding the mechanism for paying the Argentine capital gains tax when the sale exclusively involves non-Argentine parties. However, as of the date of this annual report, no administrative or judicial rulings have clarified the ambiguity in the law.

Therefore, holders of our common shares, including in the form of GDSs, are encouraged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular Argentine income tax consequences under their specific facts.

Holders of our GDSs may be unable to exercise voting rights with respect to the common shares underlying the GDSs at our shareholders’ meetings.

We will not treat the holders of our GDSs as one of our shareholders and the holders of our GDSs will not have shareholder rights. The GDS depositary will be the holder of the common shares underlying your GDSs and GDS holders may exercise voting rights with respect to the common shares represented by the GDSs only in accordance with the deposit agreement relating to the GDSs. There are no provisions under Argentine law or under our by-laws that limit the exercise by GDS holders of their voting rights through the GDS depositary with respect to the underlying common shares. However, there are practical limitations on the ability of GDS holders to exercise their voting rights due to the additional procedural steps involved in communicating with these holders. For example, holders of our common shares will receive notice of shareholders’ meetings through publication of a notice in an Official Gazette in Argentina, an Argentine newspaper of general circulation and the bulletin of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (“BCBA”), and will be able to exercise their voting rights by either attending the meeting in person or voting by proxy. GDS holders, by comparison, will not receive notice directly from us. Instead, in accordance with the deposit agreement, we will provide the notice to the GDS depositary. If requested by us, the GDS depositary will mail to holders of GDSs the notice of the meeting and a statement as to the manner in which instructions may be given by holders. To exercise their voting rights, GDS holders must then instruct the GDS depositary as to voting the common shares represented by their GDSs. Due to these procedural steps involving the GDS depositary, the process for exercising voting rights may take longer for GDS holders than for holders of common shares and common shares represented by GDSs may not be voted as GDS holders desire.

Under Argentine law, shareholder rights may be more limited or less well defined than in other jurisdictions.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our by-laws and by Argentine corporate law, which differ from the legal principles that would apply if we were incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, such as the States of Delaware or New York, or in other jurisdictions outside Argentina. In addition, your rights or the rights of holders of our common shares to protect your or their interests in connection with actions by our board of directors may be fewer and less well defined under Argentine corporate law than under the laws of those other jurisdictions. Although insider trading and price manipulation are illegal under Argentine law, the Argentine securities markets are not as highly regulated or supervised as the U.S. securities markets or markets in some other jurisdictions. In addition, rules and policies against self—dealing and regarding the preservation of shareholder interests may be less well defined and enforced in Argentina than in the United States, putting holders of our common shares and GDSs at a potential disadvantage.

The protections afforded to minority shareholders in Argentina are different from and more limited than those in the United States and may be more difficult to enforce.

Under Argentine law, the protections afforded to minority shareholders are different from, and much more limited than, those in the United States and some other Latin American countries. For example, the legal framework with respect to shareholder disputes, such as derivative lawsuits and class actions, is less developed under Argentine law than under U.S. law as a result of Argentina’s short history with these types of claims and few successful cases. In addition, there are different procedural requirements for bringing these types of shareholder lawsuits. As a result, it may be more difficult for our minority shareholders to enforce their rights against our directors or us or controlling shareholder than it would be for shareholders of a U.S. company.

The majority of our shareholders may determine to not pay any dividends.

In accordance with Argentine corporate law, we may pay dividends to shareholders out of net and realized profits, if any, as set forth in our Audited Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The approval, amount and payment of dividends are subject to the approval by our shareholders at our annual ordinary shareholders meeting. The approval of dividends requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to generate enough net and realized profits so as to pay dividends or that our shareholders will decide that dividends will be paid.

Our ability to pay dividends is limited by law and economic conditions.

In accordance with Argentine corporate law, we may pay dividends in Pesos out of retained earnings, if any, to the extent set forth in our Audited Financial Statements. Our ability to generate retained earnings is subject to the results of our operations.. The uncertainty surrounding future rates of inflation may affect our results of operations and consequently our ability to pay dividends. If the Peso continues to devaluate significantly, all of the negative effects on the Argentine economy related to such devaluation could recur, with adverse consequences on our business and as a result on the results of our operations and our ability to pay dividends.

The ability of holders of the GDSs to receive cash dividends may be limited.

The ability of GDS holders to receive cash dividends may be limited by the ability of the GDS depositary to convert cash dividends paid in Pesos into U.S. Dollars. Under the terms of our deposit agreement with the GDS depositary for the GDSs, to the extent that the GDS depositary can in its judgment, and in accordance with local exchange regulations, convert Pesos (or any other foreign currency) into U.S. Dollars on a reasonable basis and transfer the resulting U.S. Dollars abroad, the GDS depositary will as promptly as practicable convert or cause to be converted all cash dividends received by it in Pesos on the deposited securities common shares into U.S. Dollars. If, in the judgment of the GDS depositary, this conversion is not possible on a reasonable basis (or is not permitted by applicable Argentine laws, regulations and approval requirements), the GDS depositary may distribute the foreign currency received by it in Pesos in Argentina or in its discretion hold such currency uninvested for the respective accounts of the owners entitled to receive the same. As a result, if the exchange rate fluctuates significantly during a time when the GDS depositary cannot or does not convert the foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the dividend distribution. For further information see “Risks Relating to Argentina—Restrictions on transfers of foreign currency and the repatriation of capital from Argentina may impair our ability to pay dividends and distributions.”

Our ability to pay dividends is limited by law and our by-laws.

In accordance with Argentine corporate law, we may pay dividends in Pesos out of retained earnings, if any, to the extent set forth in our audited financial statements. Our ability to generate retained earnings is subject to the results of our operations. During 2014 inflation accelerated mainly due to the devaluation process carried out by the Central Bank. The uncertainty surrounding future inflation may affect our results and as a result our ability to pay dividends. If the Peso continues to devaluate significantly, all of the negative effects on the Argentine economy related to such devaluation could recur, with adverse consequences on our business and as a result on the results of our operations and our ability to pay dividends.

History

We have been actively engaged in a range of diversified real estate activities in Argentina since 1991. After our global public offering in 1994, we launched our real estate activities in the office rental market by acquiring three office towers located in prime office zones of Buenos Aires.

Since 1996, through our subsidiary IRSA Commercial Properties, we have expanded our real estate activities in the Shopping Centers segment through the acquisition of controlling interests in sixteen shopping centers: Paseo Alcorta, Alto Palermo Shopping, Buenos Aires Design, Alto Avellaneda, Alto NOA, Abasto Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Mendoza Plaza Shopping, Alto Rosario, Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera, Dot Baires, Soleil Premium Outlet, La Ribera Shopping, Distrito Arcos, Alto Comahue Sopping and Patio Olmos. Since 1996, we have also expanded our operations into the residential real estate market through the development and construction of multi-tower apartment complex in the City of Buenos Aires and through the development of private residential communities in the greatest Buenos Aires metropolitan area.

In 1997, we entered the hotel market through the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Llao Llao Hotel near Bariloche and the Intercontinental Hotel in the City of Buenos Aires. In 1998, we also acquired Libertador Hotel in the City of Buenos Aires and subsequently sold a 20% interest to an affiliate of Sheraton Hotels.

In 1999, we acquired 2.9% of the shares of Banco Hipotecario. Over the years, we have acquired additional common shares increasing our interest to 29.91% as of the date of this annual report.

In 2005, we opened Alto Rosario Shopping, which through the years had become in the most important shopping center in Rosario. Also, in such year, we increased our interest in Mendoza Plaza Shopping S.A. (“Mendoza Plaza”) from 68.8% to 85.4% through our subsidiary IRSA Commercial Properties. Attractive prospects in our Office business led us to make an important investment in this segment by acquiring Bouchard 710 building in fiscal year 2005, covering 15,014 square meters of rentable premium space.

In December 2006, we started the operation of Córdoba Shopping, a shopping center located in the neighborhood of Villa Cabrera in the City of Córdoba, Province of Córdoba. Córdoba Shopping has a total area of 35,000 square meters with 106 stores, 12 movie theaters and parking for 1,500 vehicles. Also, through our subsidiaries, we started in 2007 the construction of one of our most important projects, a shopping center and an office building located in the neighborhood of Saavedra, at the intersection between Panamericana Highway and General Paz Avenue.

During 2007, we made several significant acquisitions in the Shopping Centers and Offices segments. In 2007, we purchased Bouchard Plaza building, also known as “Edificio La Nación”, a 23 floor AAA office building with a total leasable area of 33,324 square meters, located in the downtown of the City of Buenos Aires. During 2015, we completed selling all of the floors in Edificio La Nación, remaining in the portfolio 115 parking spaces for rent. In 2007, we bought Dock del Plata building with a gross leasable area of 7,921 square meters, located in the exclusive area of Puerto Madero, already sold in its entirety. We also launched the development of an office building at Dock IV of Puerto Madero, opened in May 2009, which was entirely sold in December 2015. In addition, we acquired a 50% interest in an office building including current leases with a gross leasable area of 31,670 square meters, known as Torre BankBoston, which is located in Carlos Maria Della Paolera 265, Buenos Aires, and was designed by the recognized architect Cesar Pelli (who also designed the World Financial Center in New York and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur).

In March 2008, we launched a residential project through a partnership with Cyrela Brazil Realty to develop a new homebuilding concept in Argentina accompanied by an innovative sale and financing policy. The partnership’s first project named “Horizons” is located in the Vicente López neighborhood, Province of Buenos Aires. The project was a commercial success, all the units were sold in record time.

In April 2008, we acquired a building known as “Edificio República”, in the City of Buenos Aires. This property, designed by the architect César Pelli, is a premium office building in the downtown area of the City of Buenos Aires, which added approximately 19,533 gross leasable square meters to our portfolio. In June 2008, our subsidiary IRSA Commercial Properties acquired a land located in Beruti 3351/3359, between Bulnes and Coronel Diaz Avenue, in Palermo, a neighborhood of the City of Buenos Aires next to our mall “Alto Palermo Shopping”, in which our affiliate TGLT is developing a residential building named “Astor Berutti”.

In July 2008, we decided to expand internationally into the United States, taking advantage of certain investment opportunities generated after the global financial crisis. We acquired a 30% interest in Metropolitan 885 LLC (“Metropolitan”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. Its main asset is a 34-story building named Lipstick Building, located at 885 Third Avenue, New York. In addition to this asset, the acquired company also includes debt associated with the building. The purchase price paid was US$22.6 million. The property has approximately 59,000 square meters of leasable area. Also, we acquired a 50% put right related to stake acquired over a period beginning at six months from closing of the transaction until the third anniversary at a price equal to the amount paid for the acquisition plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. Moreover, we acquired the right of first offer for the 5% interest currently held by other shareholder of Metropolitan. During fiscal year 2011, as a result of successful negotiations, we reached an agreement to restructure the debt of Metropolitan, which was completed on December 30, 2010, the date on which a principal payment of US$15.0 million for the new restructured mortgage financing, reducing it from US$130.0 million to US$115.0 million. As a result we own indirectly 49% of New Lipstick LLC (“New Lipstick”), a holding company that owns Metropolitan, and as part of those agreements the 50% put option was terminated.

In May 2009, we opened the Dot Baires Shopping Mall, which has four levels and basement levels, consisting of a total area of 173,000 square meters, 49,179 square meters of which is gross leasable area. Dot Baires Shopping, has 153 retail stores, a hypermarket, a cinema complex and parking spaces for 2,200 vehicles.

On August 4, 2009, we acquired a 12.86% interest of Hersha Hospitality Trust (“Hersha”) for approximately US$60.0 million. Hersha is a U.S. Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), listed in NYSE, which owned at that time participations in 77 hotels throughout the northeast cost of the United States, which contain approximately 9,800 rooms. By 2014, we had sold most of our interest in Hersha at prices by common share that almost doubled the amount invested.

During 2010, we acquired from Parque Arauco S.A. a 31.6% stake in IRSA Commercial Properties, for a total purchase price of US$126 million, as a consequence of which we increased our shareholding in IRSA Commercial Properties from 63.4% to 94.9%. As of June 30, 2016, our holding was 94.61%.

In December 2010, we acquired a 49% interest in the entity that then owned the building located at 183 Madison Avenue, New York, for a purchase price of US$85.1 million. In November 2012, we increased our participation by an additional 25.5%, to 74.50% of the share capital outstanding. In September 2014, we completed the sale of 183 Madison Avenue, for a sale price of US$185 million.

In March 2011, we bought the Nobleza Piccardo warehouse, through a subsidiary in which we have a 50% stake. This property is located in the city of San Martin, Province of Buenos Aires, and due to its size and location represents an excellent venue for the future development of different segments. The total plot area is 160,000 square meters with floor area of 81,786 square meters. Under the terms of the agreement, Nobleza Piccardo rents the property during the first year, releasing it partially until the third year, at which time it releases the entire building. We are working on the design of a master plan to apply to the authorities of San Martín that allow us to develop a mixed-use project.

In August 2011, we acquired through our subsidiary IRSA Commercial Properties, the 50% of Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. (“NPSF”) common shares, a corporation that is tenant of a building in which La Ribera Shopping was built and currently operates, a mall of approximately 8,000 square meters of gross leasable area, located within Dique I of the port of the city Santa Fe.

In March 2012, we entered into an agreement with Supertel Hospitality Inc. (“Supertel”) whereby we acquired 3,000,000 convertible preferred shares in which we invested approximately US$20 million. Supertel is a U.S. REIT listed on Nasdaq, which began operations in late 70s and in 1994 completed its initial public offering. The company was focused on mid-range and extended stays hotels in 23 states in the United States, which are operated by different operators and franchises. During 2015, it appointed a new CEO who is working on the relaunching of the company. It has also changed its name to “Condor Hospitality Trust” and its symbol on Nasdaq to “CDOR” (“Condor”). During March 2016, Supertel exchanged its Class C preferred shares for a new class of preferred Class D shares issued by Condor. In this new issue it has joined the firm “Stepstone Real Estate” as a new investment partner contributing US$30 million, which were intended to cancel the Preferred Series A and B and the acquisition of new hotels. The new preferred shares series D will accrue an annual interest of 6.25% and will be convertible into common stock at a price of US$1.60 per share at any time maintaining a conversion obligation in the event of future capitalization of the company. Condor’s board is composed of four directors appointed by Supertel, 3 from Stepstone and 2 Independents. Also, Supertel’s voting power in Condor amounts to 49%.

In December 2014, we renamed Alto Palermo into IRSA Commercial Properties, an exclusive vehicle of commercial real estate in Argentina with more than 430,000 premium square meters of properties, to capture all growth opportunities arising in the future. We transferred 83,789 square meters of five buildings of our Premium office portfolio to our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) (currently IRSA Commercial Properties), of which we own 94.61% of its shares and decided to change its name to IRSA Commercial Properties, which is listed on the MERVAL and on Nasdaq, under the symbol “IRCP”. The Premium office buildings transferred included Edificio República, Torre Bank Boston, Edificio Intercontinental Plaza, Edificio Bouchard 710 and Edificio Suipacha. We also transferred to IRSA Commercial Properties the reserve of land known as Intercontinental II, adjoining Edificio Intercontinental Plaza, which has potential for the development of 19,597 m2.

In December 2014, we opened a new shopping center, “Distrito Arcos, Premium Outlet”. Located in Palermo (City of Buenos Aires), this new project of approximately 13,000 square meters of gross leasable area, 52 shops and 15 stands was established as an outlet with variety of premium brands in an open-air environment.

In March 2015, we inaugurated the sixteenth mall of our portfolio. Alto Comahue Shopping, located in the center of the city of Neuquén, which has an area of 9,500 square meter gross leasable area, about 1,000 parking spaces between indoor and outdoor and a major entertainment and leisure space. The mall has 130 retail shops that feature the most prestigious brands in the country. The project is part of a mixed-use complex, to be complemented by a supermarket and two additional land plots. One of them is for the development of a hotel, and the other of 18,000 square meters, is for future residential development.

In October 11, 2015, continuing with our strategy of expansion and diversification in the international markets, we gained control of the Israeli conglomerate IDBD. IDBD is one of the largest and most diversified conglomerates in Israel which participates through its subsidiaries in numerous markets and industry sectors, such as: real estate (Property & Building Corporation), supermarkets (Shufersal), agrochemicals (Adama), insurance (Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises), and telecommunications (Cellcom), among others. IDBD’s shares ceased to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Tel Aviv (“TASE”). For more information about the control obtainment of IDBD please see “Significant acquisitions, dispositions and development of business - Acquisition of control of IDBD”.

Significant acquisitions, dispositions and development of business

Acquisitions

Acquisition of control of IDBD

On May 7, 2014, the Company, acting indirectly through Dolphin, acquired jointly with ETH, an aggregate of 106.6 million common shares in IDBD, representing 53.30% of IDBD’s stock capital, in the context of a restructuring Arrangement of IDBH, IDBD’s parent company. Under the terms of the agreement, Dolphin and ETH (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”)1, Dolphin acquired 50% interest in this investment, and ETH acquired a 50% equity stake in IDBH. The initial investment amount was NIS 950 million, equivalent to approximately US$272 million at the exchange rate prevailing on that date.

On May 28, 2015, in accordance to the requirements under existing shareholder arrangements, ETH launched a tender offer to acquire all the shares of IDBD held by minority shareholders, at a fixed price. The obligation to consummate this acquisition was assumed by the buyers. On June 10 and 11, 2015, Dolphin gave notice to ETH of its intention to buy all the shares of IDBD held by ETH.

After certain aspects of the offer were resolved in arbitration brought by Dolphin and ETH, on September 24, 2015, the arbitration panel resolved that: (i) Dolphin and IFISA were entitled to act as buyers in the tender offer and ETH had to sell all IDBD shares held by it (92,665,925 shares) at a price of NIS 1.64 per share; (ii) the buyer was obligated to fulfill the commitments assumed by ETH, including the commitment to carry out the tender offers; and (iii) the buyer was obligated to pledge the shares of acquired from ERT to the Agreement Trustees.

1 Note that the shareholders’ agreement was originally signed between Dolphin and ETH MBA Extra Holdings. On April 2014, Dolphin and CAA Extra Holding received the rights to become holders of the shares.

On October 11, 2015, the BMBY process concluded, and IFISA acquired all IDBD’s shares from ETH. Consequently, the Shareholders’ Agreement was terminated and members of IDBD’s board of directors appointed by ETH tendered their resignations, leaving Dolphin with the authority to appoint new members to the Board. Additionally, Dolphin pledged additional shares as collateral to secure compliance with the IDBD stock purchase agreement, thereby increasing the number of pledged shares to 64,067,710. As a consequence, IRSA acquired control of IDBD and started to consolidate financial statements as from that date.

In addition to the arbitration decision issued on September 24, 2016, ETH and Dolphin have counterclaims that remain unresolved in such arbitration proceeding. As of the date of this Annual Report, the proceeding is still pending.

Subsequently following the exercise of BMBY, Dolphin has entered into an option agreement with IFISA that grants Dolphin the right for a period of two years to acquire the 92,665,925 shares in IDBD owned by IFISA at a price per share of NIS 1.64 plus an annual interest rate of 8.5%. The exercise date for the option extends for two years. Dolphin also has a first refusal if IFISA agrees to sell these shares to a third party. The value of the option agreement as of June 30, 2016 is zero.

Acquisition of non-controlling interest

Dolphin was required to carry out the first tranche of tender offers in December 2015. Before expiration of such first tranche, Dolphin and the arrangement trustees (the “Trustees”) entered into an extension agreement (the “Extension Agreement”), which was replaced by the final agreement approved by approximately 95% of the non-controlling shareholders of IDBD (excluding IFISA) and by warrants holders of IDBD on March 2, 2016 and by the competent court on March 10, 2016. The major amendments to the Arrangement were:

(i)

Replacement of the obligation to conduct tender offers as previously established under the Arrangement whereby Dolphin would purchase all the shares outstanding on March 29, 2016 from non-controlling shareholders of IDBD (except for those held by IFISA) on March 31, 2016. On March 29, 2016, all IDBD shares would be delisted from the TASE. On that date, all IDBD warrants held by non-controlling shareholders would expire and Dolphin would make capital contributions to IDBD or grant subordinate loans, as described hereafter.

(ii)

The price to be paid for each IDBD share held by non-controlling shareholders on March 29, 2016 would be NIS 1.25 payable in cash, plus NIS 1.20 adjusted nominal value in bonds of the IDBD Series 9 (the “IDBD Bonds”), which IDBD will issue directly to non-controlling shareholders and holders of warrants, and Dolphin will inject funds into IDBD equal to the adjusted nominal value of IDBD Bonds. Additionally, Dolphin would undertake to pay NIS 1.05 per share (subject to adjustments) in cash if Dolphin, either directly or indirectly, gains control of Clal, or if IDBD sells a controlling stake in Clal under certain parameters (the “Clal payment”), which refers mainly to Clal’s sale price (at a price which exceeds 75% of its book value upon execution of the sale agreement, subject to adjustments) and, under certain circumstances, the proportion of ownership of Clal shares sold by IDBD.

(iii)

The warrants held by non-controlling shareholders that have not been exercised until March 28, 2016 expired on March 31, 2016. Each warrant holder was entitled to elect whether: (a) to receive IDBD bonds (based on the adjusted nominal value) in an amount equal to the difference between NIS 2.45 and the exercise price of the warrants and be entitled to the Clal payment; or (b) to receive a payment determined by an independent appraiser and approved by Court.

Regarding warrant holders choosing this second alternative of payment, the District Court has rejected the experts opinion with respect to the evaluation of the Clal payment and one of the warrants holders has decided to file an appeal before the Supreme Court. As of the date of this filing, the process has not been ended and the Supreme Court has not rendered a decision yet.

(iv)

Dolphin committed to providing IDBD a total of NIS 515 million (the “Contribution to IDBD”), of which Dolphin contributed NIS 15 million in February 2016 and NIS 85 million in March 2016. The amount injected to IDBD would be reduced by any capital contribution resulting from the exercise of warrants held by non-controlling shareholders (maximum amount of approximately NIS 37.5 million). The contribution to IDBD would further cover the IDBD Bonds necessary to comply with the transactions described above (between NIS 166.5 million and NIS 178 million), and the balance would be contributed until completing the amount committed by Dolphin either as a capital contribution or as a subordinated loan which amounted to NIS 248.45.

(v)

Should new shares be issued by IDBD, Dolphin will be required to pledge additional shares until completing the 28% of all IDBD share capital. This pledge supersedes the existing pledge on approximately 64 million shares of IDBD and all Dolphin’s rights in relation to the Subordinated Loan.

(vi)

Additionally, Dolphin agreed not to exercise its right to convert the subordinated loans into shares of IDBD until the pledge described above has been released. Should the pledge on subordinated loans be exercised by the Trustees, then those trustees may convert the subordinated loans into shares; however, in such case, the maximum percentage of the IDBD capital that may be pledged is 35%, and any shares in excess of such amount will be released from the pledge.

On March 31, 2016: (i) Dolphin acquired all shares from IDBD’ minority shareholders (except for IFISA), (ii) all warrants held by IDBDs minority shareholders expired, and (iii) Dolphin made additional contributions to IDBD via subordinated loans pursuant. All commitments to invest in IDBD by Dolphin have been satisfied; only obligation to make a payment to Clal is outstanding, provided certain conditions are met. Additionally, Dolphin is obligated to exercise its warrants if both of the following conditions occur:

(i)

An agreement is reached to renegotiate the debt covenants applicable to IDBD and its subsidiaries; and

(ii)

Control over Clal is obtained.

The obligation would amount to NIS 391 million. The warrants mature on February 10, 2018. As of June 30, 2016, IRSA’s indirect interest in IDBD was 68.28% without considering dilution.

The transaction described above represented the acquisition of an additional interest of 19.28% in IDBD for a total amount of Ps.1,249 million. As a result of this transaction, the non-controlling interest was increased by Ps.346 million and the interest attributable to the shareholders’ of the controlling parents was increased by Ps.234 million.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, IRSA sold certain floors corresponding to Maipú 1300 Building, Intercontinental Plaza, all the floors corresponding to Dique IV and Isla Sirgadero, among others. All sales mentioned above led to a combined profit for the Company of Ps.1,113 million.

Acquisition of additional interest in BHSA

During the year ended June 30, 2015, IRSA acquired 3,289,029 additional shares of BHSA for Ps.14.2 million, thereby increasing its equity stake from 29.77% to 29.99%.

Acquisition of BACS

The Company through Tyrus, subscribed a purchase-sale agreement of shares of BACS, representing an interest of 6.125%, for US$1.35 million. This operation is yet to be approved by the BCRA as of June 30, 2016, according to regulations in force.

On June 17, 2015, subscribed Convertible Notes, issued by BACS with or a nominal value of Ps.100,000,000, which are convertible into common stock.

On June 21, 2016, we notified BACS on their right to convert all of the convertible subordinated Notes into common shares.

As a consequence, BACS initiated the relevant diligence before the Argentine Central Bank in order to secure the authorization to issue the shares in our favor.

Rigby capital reduction

During fiscal year 2015, Rigby reduced its capital stock by distributing among existing shareholders, proportionally to their shareholdings, the gain made on the sale of Madison building. The total amount distributed is US$103.8 million, of which the Company received US$77.4 million (US$26.5 million through IRSA International and US$50.9 million through IMadison LLC) and US$26.4 million were distributed to other shareholders.

Business Strategy

As a leading company in Argentina engaged 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, (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, and (iv) look for opportunities abroad offering capital gain potential.

Operations Center in Argentina

Shopping Centers

Our main purpose is to maximize our shareholders’ profitability. By using our know-how in the shopping centers 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 demand for purchase 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 for growth, including Buenos Aires’ Metropolitan area, some cities in the provinces of Argentina and possibly, other places abroad. To achieve this strategy, the close business relationship we have had for years with more than 1,000 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.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Shopping Centers segment had revenues of Ps.1,383 million, Ps.1,778 million and Ps.2,406 million, respectively.

Offices and Others

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 new opportunities on a selective basis to acquire or construct new rental office buildings.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Offices and Others segment had revenues of Ps.271 million, Ps.333 million and Ps.340 million, respectively.

Sales and Developments

We seek to purchase undeveloped properties in densely-populated areas and build apartment complexes offering green spaces 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 electric power and water, and then selling lots for the construction of residential units. The scarcity of mortgage financing restricted the growth in low 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. Furthermore, we seek to continue to acquire undeveloped land at attractive locations inside and outside Buenos Aires for the purpose of their appreciation 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.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Sales and Developments segment had revenues of Ps.85 million, Ps.15 million and Ps.8 million, respectively, and recognized net gains from the sale of investment properties (primarily offices and parking spaces) of Ps.236 million, Ps.1,163 million and Ps.1,068 million, respectively.

Hotels

We believe our portfolio of three luxury hotels is positioned to take advantage of future growth in tourism and 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.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Hotels segment had revenues of Ps.332 million, Ps.396 million and Ps.534 million.

International

In this segment, we seek investments that represent an opportunity of capital appreciation potential in the long term. After the international financial crisis in 2008, we took advantage of the price opportunity in the real estate sector in the United States and invested in two office buildings in Manhattan, New York. In 2015, we sold the Madison building and we hold a 49.9% 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 hold 49.0% of the voting securities of Condor Hospitality Trust REIT (NASDAQ: CDOR). We intend to continue evaluating -on a selective basis- investment opportunities outside Argentina as long as they offer attractive investment and development options.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016, our International segment had revenues of Ps.84 million, Ps.26 million and Ps.0 million, respectively.

Financial Operations and Others

Through our investment in Banco Hipotecario, the main mortgage-lending bank in Argentina, we believe that we are able to achieve good synergies in the long term with a developed mortgage market. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016, our investment in Banco Hipotecario generated a gain of Ps.184 million, Ps.143 million and Ps.257 million, respectively.

Operations Center in Israel

We hold, through Dolphin, 68.3% of IDBD, which is one of the largest and most diversified investment groups in Israel, which participates, through its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, in numerous markets and industry sectors, including real estate, retail, agricultural industry, insurance, telecommunications, among others. We seek to continue to reduce IDBD’s indebtedness level, simplifying its capital structure and nurturing a strategy in each business unit aimed at improving operating margins and the results of our investment.

Real Estate

PBC has partnered with IDBD in two projects based in Las Vegas, through IDBG Ltd., including commercial and office building project (Tivoli). The first stage of this project has been fully completed. The second stage of the project is undergoing the building and marketing stages, and will include commercial areas with a surface area of approximately 16,000 square meters and office areas with a surface area of approximately 12,000 square meters. We have already entered into lease agreements with an anchor tenant and other tenants covering approximately 66% of the commercial area included in the second stage of the project and around 8% of the office areas. We also expect to develop an additional project encompassing, two residential buildings and, during the year under review, have sold all the remaining residential units of these buildings.

Supermarkets

Shufersal continued developing its business plan, with a focus on building a commercial and operating infrastructure to enable growth in the coming years; strengthening its competitive edge; offering more value to customers; and improving its service. Under its business plan, Shufersal continues expanding and strengthening its brand; boosting the development of its digital platforms, with “Shufersal Online” at the core; fostering new and supplementary operations in the sectors in which it currently operates; and streamlining its real property, including the closure and downsizing of existing branches and the opening of new ones.

Agrochemicals

As a part of Adama’s long-term strategy, in December 2015, Adama entered into a commercial cooperation agreement, according to which Adama will gradually become the sole distributor of formulated agrochemical products in China of several agrochemical companies controlled by China National Chemical Corporation (“ChemChina”). This cooperation is expected to support the strengthening of Adama’s status in the Chinese market, by combining sales of Adama’s products with products of ChemChina’s companies and setting up a significant distribution platform in China, starting at the beginning of 2016. On July 17, 2016, DIC, reported that it had accepted ChemChina’s offer for 40% of Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd.’s shares, indirectly controlled by IDBD through DIC. For more information see “Recent Developments”.

Telecommunications

Cellcom operates in a highly competitive environment. The main elements of Cellcom’s business strategy are: offering comprehensive solutions to expand landline and mobile communication services, optimization of costs and expenses, including by means of carrying out streamlining measures.

Insurance

The investment managers make use of an advanced research department and an effective trading execution, to ensure a competitive advantage in order to achieve a fair long-term yield for policy holders, maximizing income from investments in accordance with the company’s risk appetite and the structure of liabilities in the portfolios.

Others

Includes the assets and income from other miscellaneous businesses, such as technological developments, tourism, oil and gas assets, electronics, and other sundry activities.

Overview

Operations Center in Argentina

Shopping Centers

As of June 30, 2016, we operated and owned a majority interest in a portfolio of 16 shopping centers in Argentina, seven of which are located in the City of Buenos Aires (Abasto, Alcorta Shopping, Alto Palermo Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Buenos Aires Design, Dot Baires Shopping and Distrito Arcos), two are located in the greater Buenos Aires area (Alto Avellaneda and Soleil Premium Outlet), and the rest are located in different provinces of Argentina (Alto Noa in the City of Salta, Alto Rosario in the City of Rosario, Mendoza Plaza in the City of Mendoza, Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera and Patio Olmos (operated by a third party) in the City of Córdoba, La Ribera Shopping in Santa Fe (through a joint venture) and Alto Comahue in the City of Neuquén).

The shopping centers operated by us comprise a total of 333,155 square meters of GLA (excluding certain spaces occupied by hypermarkets which are not our tenants). Total tenant sales in our shopping centers, as reported by retailers, were Ps.28,904.5 million for fiscal year 2016 and Ps.21,527 million for fiscal year 2015, which implies an increase of 34.3%, including Distrito Arcos and Alto Comahue. Tenant sales at our shopping centers are relevant to our revenues and profitability because they are one of the factors that determine the amount of rent that we charge our tenants. They also affect the tenants’ overall occupancy costs as a percentage of the tenant’s sales.

Principal Terms of our Leases

Under the Civil and Commercial Code, lease terms may not exceed fifty years, except for leases regulated by Law No.25,248. See Item. Key Information. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business.” Generally, our lease agreements provide terms of three to ten years.

Leasable space in our shopping centers is marketed through an exclusive arrangement with our wholly owned subsidiary and real estate brokers Fibesa. We have a standard lease agreement, the terms and conditions of which are described below, which we use for most tenants. However, our 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.

The rent 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 12% of tenant’s gross sales). Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most of our leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 18% and 27% on an annual and cumulative basis from the thirteenth (13th) month of effectiveness of the lease. 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, there can be no assurance that we may be able to enforce such clauses contained in our lease agreements.

In addition to rent, we charge most of our tenants an admission right, which is required to be paid upon entering into a lease agreement and upon a lease agreement renewal. The admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments, which range between three and six. 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 our consent.

We are responsible for supplying each shopping center with electricity, a main telephone switchboard, central air conditioning and a connection to a general fire detection system. Each rental unit at our properties is connected to these systems. We also provide food court tenants with sanitation and with gas 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. We determine this percentage based on different factors. The common area expenses include, among others, administration, security, operations, maintenance, cleaning and taxes.

We carry out promotional and marketing activities to increase consumer traffic at our shopping centers. These activities are paid for with the tenants’ contributions to the Common Promotional Fund (“CPF”), which is administered by us. Every month, tenants contribute to the CPF an amount equal to approximately 15% of their total rent (Base Rent plus Percentage Rent), in addition to rent and expense payments. We may increase the percentage that tenants must contribute to the CPF, but the increase cannot exceed 25% of the original amount set in the corresponding lease for the contributions to the CPF. We may also 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 us. We have the option to decide tenants’ responsibility for all costs incurred in remodeling the rental units and 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.

Competition

Given that most of our shopping centers are located in densely 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 is difficult for other companies to compete with us in areas through the development of new shopping centers. Our principal competitor is Cencosud S.A. which owns and operates Unicenter Shopping and the Jumbo hypermarket chain, among others.

The following table shows certain information concerning the most significant owners and operators of shopping centers in Argentina.

Seasonality

Our business is affected by seasonality, influencing the level of our tenants’ sales. During summer holidays (January and February) our tenants’ sales typically reach their minimum level, whereas during winter holidays (July) and in December (Christmas) they reach their maximum level. Clothing retailers generally change their collections in spring and autumn, positively affecting our shopping centers’ sales. Sales at discount prices at the end of each season are also one of the main seasonal factors affecting our business.

Offices and Others

According to Colliers International, as of June 30, 2016, the A+ and A office inventory remained stable since end of 2015 at 1,655,954 sqm. In terms of rental availability, there was a 1% decrease in the vacancy rate to 6.4% during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period the previous year. Thus, the vacancy rate has remained stable between 6% and 8% since 2010. These values indicate that the market is healthy in terms of its operations, allowing an optimum level of supply with balanced values. According to the market segments, class A properties show a vacancy rate of 7% for the entire stock, while A+ properties buildings show a vacancy rate of 5%.

During the second quarter of 2016, net absorption was negative at 400 sqm, i.e., more meters have become vacant than the ones which have been occupied, a situation that had not be seen since 2012. This behavior of demand is mainly explained by the sub-market Zona Norte GBA, which concentrates most of the spaces that have become vacant. On the other hand, that area has experienced vacancies in A+ properties (-2,908 sqm) which mainly migrated to class A properties (as it increased by 2,474 sqm).

During the second quarter of 2016, rental prices remained steady as compared to the general average prices seen over the past ten years (US$24.80 per square meter). Compared to the previous quarter, a 2.5% increase was recorded (from US$24.10 per square meter to US$24.70 per square meter). This slight increase shows a 1.4% increase in rental prices for A+ properties (US$27.20 per square meter in the second quarter against US$26.80 per square meter in the first quarter) and a 2.4% increase in rental prices for A properties (US$23.40 per square meter in the second quarter against US$22.90 per square meter in the first quarter). The spread between both categories is US$3.80 and reached US$12 in low vacancy periods.

In turn, the sub-market Catalinas currently features the lowest prices in the market. The average value of the properties in such area is US$27.90 per square meter. This value is expected to increase over the next few months due to the addition of new towers with prices already over US$35 per square meter in the inventory.

At June 30, 2016, the sub-market Zona Norte GBA shows average rental prices of US$23.30, comparable to values reported in June 2015. Moreover, during the same month, the vacancy rate was 8.9%, compared to 9.5% in June 2015.

We are engaged in the acquisition and management of office buildings and other rental properties in Argentina. As of June 30, 2016, we directly and indirectly owned interests in office and other rental properties, which comprised 333,962 square meters of gross leaseable area. Out of these properties, eight were office properties, which comprised 81,020 square meters of gross leaseable area. For fiscal year 2016, we had revenues from Offices and other non-shopping center rental properties of Ps.340 million.

All our office rental properties in Argentina are located in the City of Buenos Aires. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the average occupancy rate for all our properties in the Offices and Others segment was approximately 84.7%.

Management

We generally act as the managing agent of the office properties in which we own an interest. These interests consist primarily of the ownership of entire buildings or a substantial number of floors in a building. The buildings in which we own floors are generally managed pursuant to the terms of a condominium agreement that typically provides for control by a simple majority of the interests (based on the area owned) in the building. As the managing agent of operations, we are responsible for handling services, such as security, maintenance and housekeeping. These services are generally outsourced. The cost of the services is passed-through and paid for by the tenants, except in the case of our units not rented, in which case we absorb the cost. Our leaseable space is marketed through commissioned brokers, the media and directly by us.

Leases

We usually lease our offices and other rental properties by using contracts with an average term of three years, with the exception of a few contracts with terms of five years. These contracts are renewable for two or three years at the tenant’s option. Contracts for the rental of office buildings and other commercial properties are generally stated in U.S. dollars, and in accordance with Argentine law they are not subject to inflation adjustment. Rental rates for renewed periods are negotiated at market value.

Sale 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 or warehouses. In connection with our development of residential communities, we frequently acquire vacant land, develop infrastructure such as roads, utilities and common areas, and sell plots of land for construction of single-family homes. We may also develop or sell portions of land for others to develop complementary facilities such as shopping areas within residential developments.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, revenues from the development and sale of properties segment amounted to Ps.8 million, compared to Ps.15 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Construction and renovation works on our residential development properties are currently performed, under our supervision, by independent Argentine construction companies that are selected through a bidding process. We enter into turnkey contracts with the selected company for the construction of residential development properties pursuant to which the selected company agrees to build and deliver the development for a fixed price and at a fixed date. We are generally not responsible for any additional costs based upon the turnkey contract. All other aspects of the construction, including architectural design, are performed by third parties.

Another modality for the development of residential undertakings is the exchange of land for constructed square meters. In this way, we deliver undeveloped pieces of land and another firm is in charge of building the project. In this case, we receive finished square meters for commercialization, without taking part in the construction works.

The following table shows certain information and gives an overview regarding our sales and development properties as of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

Partial sale of the building to be developed in “Catalinas” (no impact on results for this fiscal year)

On April 7, 2016, the company sold to its subsidiary IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. (“IRSA CP”), controlled by a 94.61% interest, 16,012 square meters, consisting of 14 floors (from 13 to 16 and from 21 to 30) intended for long term lease and 142 parking spaces of the building to be built in the “Catalinas” area, City of Buenos Aires.

Surrender of possession is expected to take place in December 2019, and the deed of conveyance is planned to be executed in December 2020.

The transaction price was set considering two components: a “Fixed” portion, relating to the incidence of the land over the square meters purchased by IRSA CP, for a total amount of Ps.455.7 million (approximately US$1,600 + VAT per square meter), which was paid on that date, and a “Determinable” portion, as to which IRSA will pass through to IRSA CP only the actual cost of the works per square meter.

Alto Palermo Expansion

The expansion project for the Alto Palermo shopping center adds approximately 4,000 square meters of GLA to the shopping center, which has the highest sales per square meter and consists of moving the food court to a third level using the area of an adjacent building acquired in 2015. Construction works are estimated to be completed in between 18 and 24 months.

First stage of Polo Dot

The project called “Polo Dot”, located in the commercial complex adjacent to our Dot Baires shopping center, has experienced significant growth since our first investments in the area. The total project will consist of three new office buildings (one of them could include a hotel) in land reserves we own and the expansion of the shopping center by approximately 15,000 square meters of gross leaseable area. In the first phase of the project, we will develop an 11-floor office building with an area of approximately 30,000 square meters on an existing building, in respect of which we have already executed a lease agreement for approximately half the available square footage, before starting the works. Construction will begin during the next fiscal period and is estimated to last between 18 and 24 months before the building is operational. The second phase of the project will include two office/hotel buildings that will add 38,400 square meters of gross leaseable area to the complex. We have seen a significant demand for Premium office space in our new commercial complex and we believe that we will be able to open these buildings with attractive rent levels and full occupancy. As of June 30, 2016, 75% of the building has already leased.

Catalinas Building

The “Catalinas” project is located in one of the most sought-after spots for office development in Argentina. The building to be constructed will have 35,468 square meters of gross leaseable area in 30 office floors and 316 parking spaces. Construction is scheduled to begin towards the end of the current calendar year and will take approximately three years to be completed.

Residential Apartments and Lofts.

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

Intangibles - Units to be received under barter agreements

Beruti Plot – City of Buenos Aires (IRSA CP)

On October 13, 2010, through our subsidiary IRSA CP, and TGLT S.A. (“TGLT”), we entered into an exchange agreement in connection with a plot of land located at Beruti 3351/59 in the City of Buenos Aires for cash and 2,170 square meters in future residential apartments to be constructed by TGLT on the plot. In addition, TGLT will deliver 32 residential parking spaces and 171 commercial parking spaces to us.

Caballito Plot – City of Buenos Aires

On June 29, 2011, we and TGLT, a residential developer, entered into a barter agreement for a plot of land located on Mendez de Andes street in the neighborhood of Caballito in the City of Buenos Aires for cash and future residential apartments to be constructed by TGLT. The transaction was agreed upon at US$12.8 million. TGLT plans to construct an apartment building with parking spaces. As consideration, TGLT paid US$159,375 in cash and will transfer to IRSA: (i) a number of apartments to be determined representing 23.10% of total square meters of residential space developed; (ii) a number of parking spaces to be determined representing 21.10% of total square meters of parking spaces; and (iii) if TGLT builds complementary storage rooms, such number of storage rooms representing 21.10% of square meters of storage spaces developed.

A neighborhood association named Asociación Civil y Vecinal SOS Caballito secured a preliminary injunction which suspended the works to be developed by TGLT in the abovementioned property. Once said preliminary injunction was deemed final, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and TGLT were served notice of the complaint. Both first and second instance, ruled against TGLT´s arguments. In consequence, the permission granted to TGLT in order to build in the area was declared null and void. TGLT and the Government of the City of Buenos Aires filed a federal appeal on The Supreme Court of Buenos Aires. Up to the date, the Court has not reached a decision yet.

Land Reserves and development properties

Other Land Reserves – Pilar, Pontevedra, Mariano Acosta, Merlo and San Luis Plot

On September 3, 2015, this property was sold to several companies for US$3.9 million, payable in 16 quarterly installments, plus an installment in kind, consisting of land resulting from the final blueprint, equivalent to 10% of the surface area of the property.

Future Developments

Mixed Uses

Ex UOM – Luján, Province of Buenos Aires (IRSA CP)

This 116-hectare plot is located at kilometer 62 of the West Highway, at the intersection with Route 5 and was originally purchased by Cresud on May 31, 2008. In May 2012, we acquired the property through a purchase and sale agreement entered with a related party. Our current intention is to carry out a mixed-use project, taking advantage of the environment consolidation and the strategic location of the plot. At present, negotiations are underway to change the zoning parameters, which would potentially make the project feasible.

Ex Nobleza Piccardo Plant – San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires (IRSA CP)

On March 31, 2011, Quality Invest S.A. and Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y F. (Nobleza) executed the title deed for the purchase of a plot of land extending over 160,000 square meters located in the District of San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires, currently intended for industrial purposes and suitable in terms of characteristics and scales for mixed-use developments. The price for the property was US$33 million, 30% of which was paid at signing. A promissory note and a first-priority mortgage was issued for the balance of the purchase price of the property, in favor of Nobleza. The balance plus interest at a nominal annual rate of 7.5% on the outstanding balance was paid in full–principal plus interest–in March 2013.

Simultaneously with execution of the title deed, the parties entered into a lease agreement whereby Nobleza leased the whole property for a term of up to 36 months as from May 2011. This lease agreement contained a clause providing for partial return of the property from month eight to month fourteen after the date of execution thereof. Prior to expiration, an extension was executed for two to six months which expired in December 2012, and Quality Invest S.A. obtained usufructary rights over half the plot. The return of the remaining area set forth in the lease agreement, set forth in May 2014 was once again extended until December 31, 2014. On March 2, 2015, a Certificate was executed by Nobleza and Quality Invest S.A. for full return of the property, and the contract relationship between the parties was terminated.

On May 16, 2012, the Municipality of San Martín granted a pre-feasibility permit for commercial use, entertainment, events, offices, etc., which would enable performance of a mixed-use development thereon.

Pursuant to an Ordinance enacted on December 30, 2014, a process was initiated to obtain a rezoning permit for the plot of land to be used mainly for commercial purposes, which considerably expands the uses and potential buildable square meters through new urban indicators. On January 5, 2016, a Provincial Decree was published in the Official Gazette, through which zoning parameters and the rezoning permit previously obtained became effective.

As approved in the Ordinance, on January 20, 2015, Quality Invest S.A. entered into a Zoning Agreement with the Municipality of San Martín which governs various issues related to applicable regulations and provides for a mandatory assignment of square meters in exchange for monetary contributions subject to fulfillment of certain administrative milestones of the rezoning process. The first monetary contribution (which amounted to Ps.20,000,000) was paid to the Municipality ten days after execution of the above mentioned agreement.

Moreover, on June 27, 2016, the subdivision of the property was submitted to the Municipality, in compliance with another relevant aspect of the Zoning Agreement.

Solares de Santa María – City of Buenos Aires

Solares de Santa María is a 70-hectare property facing the Río de la Plata in the south of Puerto Madero, 10 minutes from downtown Buenos Aires. We are owners of this property in which we intend to develop an entrepreneurship 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.

In 2000, we submitted a master plan for the Santa María del Plata site, which was assessed by the Environmental Urban Plan Council (Consejo del Plan Urbano Ambiental, “COPUA”) and submitted to the Town Treasurer’s Office for consideration. In 2002, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires issued a notice of public hearing and in July 2006, the COPUA made recommendations. In response to these recommendations, on December 13, 2006, we filed an amendment to satisfy these recommendations, making material amendments to our development plan, which amendments included the donation of 50% of the site to the City of Buenos Aires for public use and a pedestrian walkway along the entire site on the banks of the river.

In March 2007, a committee of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, composed of representatives from the Legislative and Executive Branches issued a report stating that such Committee had no objections to our development plan and requested that the General Treasury render a decision concerning the scope of the development plan submitted for the project. In November 2007, 15 years after the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires granted the general zoning standards for the site, the authorities 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, as a result of objections lodged by a legislator of the City of Buenos Aires, alleging the suspension of Decree No. 1584/07, and each construction project and/or the municipal permits granted for business purposes. Notwithstanding the legality and validity of Decree No. 1584/07, we entered into an agreement with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, which was sent with a legislative bill to the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires under number 976-J-2010, for approval.

On October 30, 2012, a new agreement was executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, replacing all prior arrangements, whereby new obligations were agreed. To that end, such Agreement – as well as the previous ones – shall be countersigned and approved by the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires. The docket containing the Bill of Law was reserved and is pending such legislative treatment. The Agreement provided that if by February 28, 2014, the Bill of Law was not enacted, it would become invalidated -current status to date. In order to secure the desired rules, a new Agreement must be executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, to be subsequently confirmed by the Legislature; currently we have resumed conversations with the Executive Branch through the Transportation and Urban Development Ministry in order to discuss the subscription of a new Agreement (which will also append the Bill of Law).

Puerto Retiro is an 8.2 hectare undeveloped riverside property bounded by the Catalinas and Puerto Madero office zones to the west, the Retiro railway station to the north and the Río de la Plata to the south and east. One of the only two significant privately owned waterfront properties in the City of Buenos Aires, Puerto Retiro may currently be utilized only for port activities. Consequently, we have initiated negotiations with municipal authorities in order to rezone the area. We own a 50% interest in Puerto Retiro, S.A.

On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. was served with notice 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 the Company. Upon request of petitioner, the court hearing the bankruptcy case issued an injunction preventing us from selling or otherwise disposing of the Puerto Retiro land.

Indarsa had acquired 90% of the capital stock in Tandanor from the National Government in 1991. Tandanor’s main business involved ship repairs performed in a 19-hectare property located in the vicinity of La Boca neighborhood and where the Syncrolift is installed. As Indarsa failed to comply with its payment obligation for acquisition of the shares of stock in Tandanor, the Ministry of Defense filed a bankruptcy petition against Indarsa, seeking to extend it to us.

Our Management and external legal counsel to Puerto Retiro believe that there are sufficient legal and technical arguments to consider that the petition for an extension of the bankruptcy will be dismissed by the court. However, in view of the current status of the case, its result cannot be predicted.

Under the records of the proceedings for the extension of bankruptcy, Puerto Retiro S.A. requested authorization to execute both leases with the companies Los Cipreses S.A. and Flight Express S.A. for certain areas of the property acquired for a term of five years each. While authorization was granted by the lower court, the Court of Appeals in Commercial Matters reversed such decision upon request of the National Government and the receiver of INDARSA. Puerto Retiro S.A. filed an extraordinary appeal that was denied.

In turn, Tandanor filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro S.A. and the other defendants in the criminal case for violation of Section 174 (5) based on Section 173 (7) of the Criminal Code. Such action seeks -on the basis of the nullity of the decree that approved the bidding process involving the Dársena Norte property- a reimbursement in favor of Tandanor for all such amounts it has allegedly lost as a result of a suspected fraudulent transaction involving the sale of the property disputed in the case.

The answer to the civil action was filed in due time, which contained a number of defenses. Tandanor requested the intervention of the National Government as third party co-litigant in this case, which petition was granted by the Court. In March 2015 both the National Government and the criminal complainant answered the asserted defenses.

On July 12, 2016, Puerto Retiro S.A. was served with notice of the decision issued by the Federal Court (Tribunal Oral Federal) No. 5 on the defenses asserted by all codefendants in the civil action. As regards the defenses asserted by Puerto Retiro S.A., the court rejected the defenses of legal defect and lack of legal standing to be sued, while with regard to the defenses of lack of legal standing to sue and the expiration of the statute of limitations, it decided to postpone discussion thereof to the time of entering judgment on the merits of the case. It should be pointed out that the defense of legal defect so dismissed is a dilatory defense, i.e. it does not determine a substantive matter but refers to procedural issues and may be cured. On the contrary, the defense of lack of legal standing to be sued, if accepted, determines the outcome of the dispute, because such admission would establish that Puerto Retiro S.A. should not be a party to these proceedings. Puerto Retiro S.A. has filed an appeal (recurso de reposición) from such decision –reserving the right to file a new appeal (recurso de casación) against dismissal of both defenses. As regards the defenses of lack of legal standing to sue and the statute of limitations, they are central to the defense strategy, and because they were not dismissed by the court, a possible consideration of the merits of the case in our favor could be determinative.

Residential

Coto Residential Project (IRSA CP)

We own approximately 23,000 sqm of air space above the Coto hypermarket that is close to the Abasto Shopping Center in the heart of the City of Buenos Aires.

Zetol S.A. and Vista al Muelle S.A. – District of Canelones – Uruguay

In the course of fiscal year 2009, we acquired 100% of the equity of Liveck S.A., a company organized under the laws of Uruguay. In June 2009, Liveck had acquired a 90% stake of the capital stock of Vista al Muelle S.A. and Zetol S.A., two companies incorporated under the laws of Uruguay, for US$7.8 million. The remaining 10% interest in both companies is owned by Banzey S.A. These companies have undeveloped lands in Canelones, Uruguay, close to the capital city of Uruguay, Montevideo.

We intend to carry out an urban project consisting of the development and commercialization of 13 apartment buildings. This project has the “urban feasibility” status for the construction of approximately 200,000 sqm for a term of 10 years, which was granted by the Mayor’s Office of the Canelones department and by its Local Legislature. Zetol S.A. and Vista al Muelle S.A. agreed to carry out the infrastructure works for US$8 million as well as delivery of a minimum amount of sqm of properties. The satisfaction of this commitment under the terms and conditions agreed upon will grant an additional 10-year effective term to the urban feasibility status.

The total purchase price for Zetol S.A. was US$7 million; of which US$2 million have been paid. Sellers may opt to receive the balance in cash or through the delivery of units in the buildings to be constructed in the land owned by Zetol S.A. equivalent to 12% of the total marketable meters to be constructed.

In addition, Vista al Muelle S.A. owned since September 2008 a plot of land purchased for US$0.83 million. In February 2010, other plots were acquired for US$1 million, the balance of which was US$0.28 million plus interest and will be repaid in December 2014. In December 2010, Vista al Muelle S.A. executed the title deed of other plots for a total amount of US$2.66 million, of which US$0.3 million were paid. The balance will be repaid by delivering 2,334 sqm of units and/or retail stores to be constructed or in cash.

On June 30, 2009, we sold a 50% stake in Liveck S.A. to Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. for US$1.3 million. On December 17, 2010, together with Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. we executed a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which we repurchased from Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A. a 50% shareholding in Liveck S.A. for US$2.7 million. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2016, our stake, through Tyrus, in Liveck is 100%.

As a result of the plot barter agreements executed in due time between the IMC, Zetol S.A. and Vista al Muelle S.A. in March 2014, the parcel redistribution dealing was concluded. This milestone, as set forth in the amendment to the Master Agreement executed in 2013, initiates the 10-year term for the investment in infrastructure and construction of the buildings mentioned above. At present, the urban project and the design of the first tower are being developed.

Investment in IDB Development Corporation

Acquisition of Control of IDBD

On May 7, 2014, the Company, acting indirectly through Dolphin, acquired, jointly with E.T.H.M.B.M. Extra Holdings Ltd. (“ETH”, company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel) controlled by Mordechay Ben Moshé, entered into a transaction to acquire an aggregate of 106.6 million common shares in IDBD representing 53.30% of its stock capital, in the context of a debt restructuring transaction related to IDBD’s holding company, IDBH. Under the terms of the agreement, Dolphin and ETH executed a Shareholders’ Agreement and Dolphin and ETH each acquired a 50% interest in IDBD. The initial amount invested by each Company was NIS 950 million, equivalent to approximately US$272 million at the exchange rate prevailing on that date. On October 11, 2015, IFISA (a company indirectly controlled by Eduardo S. Elsztain) acquired ETH, and the directors appointed by ETH in IDBD tendered their irrevocable resignation from the Board of Directors and Dolphin became entitled to appoint new board members. Since that date, we started to consolidate IDBD into our results of operations As of the date of this annual report, the investment made from IRSA in IDBD is US$515 million, and IRSA’s indirect equity interest reached 68.3% of IDBD’s undiluted stock capital.

Tender Offers

On March 31, 2016, Dolphin satisfied its commitments under the amendment to the debt restructuring agreement of IDBD’s controlling company, IDBH, with its creditors (the “Arrangement”). Such amendment was approved by 95% of IDBD’s minority shareholders on March 2, 2016 and by the competent court on March 10, 2016. As a result, as of March 3, 2016: (i) Dolphin purchased all the shares held by IDBD’s minority shareholders; (ii) all the warrants held by IDBD’s minority shareholders expired; and (iii) Dolphin made additional contributions to IDBD in the form of a subordinated loan, as described below.

The price paid for each IDBD share to holders of record as of March 29, 2016 was: (i) NIS 1.25 million in cash, resulting in a total payment of NIS 159.6 million (US$42.2 million); (ii) NIS 1.20 per share through the subscription and delivery of IDBD’s Series 9 bonds (“IDBD Bonds”) that was paid by Dolphin at par; therefore, it subscribed bonds for NIS 166.5 million, including the payments due to warrant holders (as detailed below); and (iii) the commitment to pay NIS 1.05 million (subject to adjustment) in cash if Dolphin receives authorization to assume control of Clal Insurance Company Ltd. and Clal Insurance Business Holdings Ltd. or IDBD sells its interest in Clal for a sale price per Clal share in excess of 75% of its book value Dolphin being would be required to pay approximately NIS 155.8 million (approximately US$40.8 million) in aggregate.

Any warrants held by minority shareholders that were not exercised as of March 28, 2016, would be convertible at a price equal to the difference (if positive) between NIS 2.45 and the warrant exercise price, and payable in IDBD Bonds. In addition, Dolphin made a capital contribution of NIS 348.4 million into IDBD, in exchange for a subordinated loan, convertible into shares.

As security for payment of each cash due to Clal shareholders, on March 31, 2016, Dolphin gave a pledge over 28% of the stock capital in IDBD it owns and its rights under a NIS 210 million subordinated loan made on December 1, 2015 due from IDBD. If IDBD issues new shares, additional shares shall be pledged until reaching 28% of IDBD’s total stock capital.

Dolphin has committed to abstain from exercising its right to convert the subordinated loan into IDBD shares until the above mentioned pledge is released. However, if the pledge is enforced, the representatives of IDBH’s creditors will be entitled to convert the subordinated debt into IDBD shares, up to a maximum of 35% of all IDBD shares outstanding.

On April 3, 2016, IDBD’s shares were delisted from the TASE and all the minority warrants were cancelled. IDBD continues to be listed on TASE as a “Debentures Company” pursuant to Israeli law, as it has bonds listed on such exchange.

Within the Operations Center in Israel, the Company operates in the following segments.

Real Estate

Includes the assets and operating income generated by PBC and its subsidiaries. PBC is mainly engaged in the operation of income producing properties and in residential construction primarily in Israel and other parts of the world. In rental properties, PBC is the exclusive owner of the HSBC building located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The building has an area of approximately 80,000 square meters. At present, the building is fully occupied by renowned tenants who have lease agreements in place for periods ranging from 10 to 15 years.

Supermarkets

This division includes the assets and operating income of Shufersal. Shufersal, established in 1958, is Israel’s largest retail chain and the owner of the largest supermarket chain in Israel in terms of sales volume, operating 270 supermarkets nationwide, within an approximate aggregate area of 503,000 square meters. Shufersal employs approximately 12,300 employees. In recent years, Shufersal has introduced and continues developing strategic processes and structural changes seeking to optimize profitability, strengthen its market leading position, and address the challenges of the business and regulatory environment where it operates. Shufersal separated its real estate business from its retail business, and formed Shufersal Real Estate Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary whose assets include branches that are leased to Shufersal and real estate property leased to third parties.

Our Supermarkets segment generated operating income of Ps.424 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, representing 59% of our consolidated operating income for the Operations Center in Israel for such year.

Shufersal operates five different retail formats throughout Israel:

(i)

Shufersal Sheli: a chain of 107 neighborhood stores providing customer shopping needs, while vigilantly maintaining convenience, availability, freshness and service;

(ii)

Shufersal Deal: a chain of 74 discount stores that offers low-priced products throughout the year;

(iii)

Yesh: a chain of 54 competitive discount stores addressing different populations by matching products to customers, and by offering special kashruth;

(iv)

Shufersal Express: a chain of 13 convenience stores; and

(v)

Shufersal Online (former Shufersal Yashir): a service that markets products directly to the customer’s home or office, with orders taken via the internet, phone or fax.

Shufersal puts great effort into producing its private label to provide customers with a brand that meets high quality standards, is competitively priced and is adapted to Israeli consumer tastes. The brand currently includes about 1,400 products. Shufersal’s Loyalty Club is the leading loyalty club in Israel with 1.4 million members. Club members enjoy cash coupons, accumulated bonuses, discounts and special offers.

As part of its strategic plan, Shufersal, together with Leumi card and Paz, launched the Shufersal credit card in October 2006. The card provides customers with a non-banking credit framework, as well as special offers and benefits. “Yesh” Credit Card for “Yesh” customers was launched in August 2009 and offers the same benefits.

Shufersal also owns a 40,000 sqm logistics center in Rishon Lezion in addition to distribution centers in Kfar Vitkin, Ramle, and Kadima.

Shufersal engages in income-generating real estate, leasing commercial centers and other properties through several subsidiaries: Shufersal Bailsol Investments Ltd. (50% owned); Merkaz Hakirya (Ashdod 1995) Ltd. (50%); and Lev Hamifratz Ltd. (37%).

Although Shufersal’s main operations is retail, as mentioned above, it also operates in two other sectors: real estate and credit card customer’s club management. In income-generating real estate activity, Shufersal engages in leasing commercial centers and other properties. As part of its strategic plan, Shufersal is also active in managing a customer credit club through which it offers credit cards to the public that provide a non-bank credit framework, as well as special offers and benefits to customers.

During 2016, Shufersal continued to carry out its business plan, which is intended to create a growth-oriented commercial and operational infrastructure for the years to come, to reinforce its competitiveness, to improve value offered to customers, and to improve service. As its main distribution center, Shufersal owns a sophisticated 40,000 m2 logistics center in Rishon Lezion in addition to distribution centers in Kfar Vitkin, Ramle, and Kadima.

In recent years, Shufersal has performed, and continues performing, strategic processes and structural changes, with the aim of optimizing its operations, strengthening its market leadership, and dealing with challenges it faces in its business and regulatory environment. As part of its strategies, Shufersal is focused in the development of its digital market platforms, of which the main one is Shufersal Online. During 2016, there was a significant increase in Shufersal’s sales through Shufersal Online.

During 2015, Shufersal continued to implement its business plan, as approved by its Board of Directors in July 2014, as follows:

The developments in the Mega chain led, in addition to the sale of Mega stores that operated in the discount format to various third parties, the closing of its online platform and a one-off closing of all of its branches by Mega’s employees, led to the loss of consumers. Shufersal adapted its operations to these changes at the Mega chain, and the impact of the competitive landscape. Shufersal continues to monitor the effects on Mega’s results, and is preparing to address multiple scenarios, including increased competition in the discount market and a potential purchase of Mega’s stores in city centers by chains that operate in the discount market, which may lead to greater competition. In the first half of 2016, Shufersal continued to monitor and prepare various scenarios regarding the change in ownership of Mega city center stores.

The continued expansion and strengthening of Shufersal’s private label brand as a part of its strategy, including the launch of new products in leading categories, such as the milk and meat. Sales of Shufersal’s own branded products in 2015 were approximately 15% of all retail sales, an increase of 11.5% compared with sales in 2014.

The continued development of Shufersal’s digital platforms, of which the main one is “Shufersal Online” and the cellular application, and the streamlining of the operating processes with regard to the distribution system of “Shufersal Online.” There has been a significant increase in Shufersal’s sales through Shufersal Online, and they constituted approximately 6% of total sales in 2015 (compared with approximately 4% in 2014). During the first half of 2016, Shufersal continued to accelerate the development of its digital platform and to open special warehouses to support those sales. In the first half of 2016, Shufersal Online sales accounted for approximately 8.6% of Shufersal’s total sales.

The continued streamlining of real estate in accordance with the business plan, which includes the closing and downsizing of retail stores.

In 2015, Shufersal continued its efforts to complete the change in the supply chain system, and during the first quarter of 2016 it began the gradual operation of its new logistics center in Shoham, that began operating on February 2016.

Various regulatory developments, such as an increase in the minimum wage, the first installment of which came into effect in April 2015.

Shufersal performed a renewed evaluation of branches with operational and cash flow losses, and concluded that 15 stores out of all evaluated branches (which are mainly leased through operational leases) no longer contribute or make a viable contribution, either in operational and/or strategic terms, to the geographical region (the cash generating unit) with which they are associated. Shufersal decided to close 14 stores, and to reduce the size of the store network it owns.

For the purpose of the impairment test, Shufersal branches are combined into geographical regions which constitute separate cash generating units. Based on Shufersal’s strategy, the closure of stores may result in a reduction in profitability of other stores located in the same geographical area. In light of the foregoing, the impairment test for retail activity is performed on a regional level, and the recoverable amount is calculated for the cash generating unit.

Agrochemicals

Includes income from the associate of IDBD, Adama. Adama is a worldwide leader in active ingredients used in agricultural production. Adama became a private company owned by ChemChina (60%) and Koor (40%).

Adama is one of the leading generic brand crop protection companies in the world. Adama has a heritage dating back 70 years and strives to develop products to simplify and optimize agricultural production, offering farmers products and services that optimize crop yields. Adama has a comprehensive range of high-quality, innovative and effective crop protection products, including herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators and seed treatments, designed to improve the quality and quantity of crop yields by preventing or controlling harmful, insects and disease. Adamas’ comprehensive product portfolio includes more than 270 active ingredients and more than 1,000 end-use products. Our Agrochemicals segment generated an income of Ps.334 million from the investment in Adama for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Adama’s 4,900 employees reach farmers in more than 120 countries with its main customers in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, India, the Middle East and Africa. As of the date of this annual report, Adama is ranked as the leading company in the world focusing on non-patent protected active materials used crop protection products. Adama has 19 production facilities for synthesis and formulation of its product and seven global products development centers.

Adamas’ range of products include crop protection solutions and other related products that leverage its core expertise, including dietary supplements and food additives, aromatic products and industrial products. Accordingly, Adama organizes and manages its business in two segments: crop protection and other operations. The crop protection business focuses on the research, development, production and marketing of products that enhance crop yields by protecting against the damaging and destructive effects of a variety of weeds, pests and disease. Adama markets (mostly directly and through third parties) the products it develops and produces, as well as other crop protection products it sources from third parties. Crop protection products in the global market are divided into (i) patent-protected and legacy, branded off-patent products, most of which were originally developed by leading companies in the field; and (ii) newly introduced, branded off-patent products, such as our products, which are similar to patent-expired products (in terms of composition) and are produced by off-patent focused companies.

Adama manufactures and sells a broad range of crop protection products that are divided into three main categories based on their uses: (i) herbicides, (ii) insecticides and (iii) fungicides. These solutions offer protection for all sorts of crops including corn, cotton, oil seed rape, soybean and cereal, and are developed and adapted for use in seed treatment as well as for non-crop uses such as protection against weeds, pests and disease in roadsides, forests, lawns, parks, institutions, the wood and paint industry, animal health and private facilities, homes and gardens. Adama has a unique positioning and access to the Chinese markets, principally through ChemChina.

In August, 2016, DIC reported that it had accepted ChemChina’s offer to acquire 40% of Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd.’s shares, indirectly controlled by IDBD through DIC. For more information see “Recent Developments”.

Telecommunications

This division includes the assets and operating income derived from Cellcom. Cellcom is Israel’s leading mobile communications operator. Cellcom has more than 2.8 million subscribers, with an estimated market share of 27%. Through its independent transmission network, Cellcom provides services to its customers with a broad range of value added services including cellular and landline telephony, roaming services for tourists in Israel and for its customers abroad, and additional services including music, video, mobile office etc. With a technologically advanced infrastructure, Cellcom provides internet connectivity services and international calling services, as well as landline telephone communication, cloud, hosting services and information security in Israel, in addition to data communication services. Our Telecommunications segment generated operating losses of Ps.71 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, representing 10% of our consolidated operating income for the Operations Center in Israel for such year.

Cellcom has launched television services over the internet (“over-the-top” TV or OTT TV) which currently has 87,000 subscribers representing a 5.7% market share. IDBD believes that there is an opportunity for further penetration in television services over the internet and thus it plans to expand its activities in this business, as part of its strategies. Cellcom provides a “triple play package”, which combines television services, internet infrastructure and supplier services and home telephone services. Cellcom operates powerful generation networks (LTE 4 and HSPA 3.5) enabling advanced high speed broadband multimedia services, in addition to the regular networks (GSM/GPRS/EDGE).

On November 2015, Cellcom entered into an agreement with Golan Telecom Ltd. (“Golan”) to purchase all of the shares of Golan, one of the four cell phone carriers in Israel, in addition to Cellcom, for a consideration of NIS 1,170 million. If Golan’s acquisition is approved, Cellcom’s market share and revenues will increase and Cellcom will be able to offer additional bundled and separate services and products which will result in opportunities for leveraging cost-synergies.

The following table presents our number of cellular subscribers and revenues for each of the last five years:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2011		2012		2013		2014		2015

Cellular subscribers (end of period)(1) (in thousands)		3,349		3,199		3,092		2,967		2,835

(1)

Subscriber data refers to active cellular subscribers. Cellcom uses a six-month method to calculate cellular subscriber base, which means that Cellcom deducts subscribers from its cellular subscriber base after six months of no revenue generation and activity on its network by or in relation to the post-paid subscriber, no revenue generating calls or SMS for pre-paid subscriber and no data usage or less than NIS 1 of accumulated revenues for M2M (machine to machine) subscribers. The six-month method is, to the best of our knowledge, consistent with the methodology used by other cellular providers in Israel. During the fourth quarter of 2011, Cellcom removed approximately 52,000 subscribers from our subscribers base, which included its subscribers using its TDMA network who had not requested a transfer to its other networks following the shutdown of its TDMA network as of December 31, 2011, and subscribers who ceased using services following a change to Cellcom’s policy which previously allowed subscribers to change from post to prepaid subscription as a result of the reduction of Early Termination Fees in the cellular market in early 2011. These changes affected other key performance indicators. In the fourth quarter of 2012, Cellcom removed approximately 138,000 M2M subscribers from its subscriber base, following the addition of the above revenue generation criterion for M2M subscribers. This change had an immaterial effect on Cellcom’s ARPU for 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2013 we removed approximately 64,000 subscribers from our subscribers base, following a change to our prepaid subscribers counting mechanism. As a result of such change, we add a prepaid subscriber to our subscribers base only upon charging a prepaid card and remove them from our subscribers base after six months of no revenue generating calls or SMS. Following each of these changes, we have not restated prior subscriber data to conform to such changes.

We present bellow a detailed description about each of the segments in telecommunications operated by IDBD’s subsidiary Cellcom:

Linear channels including the Israeli Digital terrestrial broadcasting

Video on Demand library

Cellular Services and Products

Cellcom offers its cellular subscribers a variety of usage and sector pricing plans and bundles combining cellular services with other communications services that the group offers, such as Internet infrastructure and ISP, landline, ILD and OTT TV services for home and IP switchboard, Internet infrastructure and ISP landline and ILD services for the office. Cellcom offers two methods of payment: pre-paid and post-paid. Pre-paid services are offered to subscribers who pay for its services prior to obtaining them, usually by purchasing their “Talkman” pre-paid cards or “virtual” Talkman cards. Post-paid services are offered to subscribers willing to pay for their services through banking and credit arrangements, such as credit cards and direct debits. Price erosion and the marketing of unlimited packages, have resulted to a decline in our pre-paid subscriber base. In line with regulation, our pricing plans do not include a commitment to purchase their services for a predefined period, other than in large business agreements.

Basic cellular services

Its principal cellular service is basic cellular telephony and data transfer, upload and download (in supporting handsets). Both are included in the “unlimited packages”. In addition, Cellcom offers many other services with enhancements and additional features to their basic cellular telephony service, including voice mail, cellular fax, call waiting, call forwarding, caller identification and conference calling. Data services can be used with handsets (in supporting models), cellular modems, laptops and tablets. Cellcom provides their customers with a variety of “internet surfing packages” for that purpose. Cellcom also offers both an outbound roaming service to subscribers traveling outside of Israel and an inbound roaming service to visitors to Israel who can “roam” into their network.

Value-added services

In addition to basic cellular telephony and data services, Cellcom offers many value-added services, such as SMS and MMS, cloud backup content services such as music downloads and “Cellcom TV” application. SMS is included in the “unlimited packages”. Cellcom offers services that are likely to be popular with subscribers and complement Cellcom’s business. Some of these value-added services are available only to subscribers who have supporting handset models and some are offered only to business subscribers.

Business subscribers, also may receive multi SMS, M2M, “Double Net” services allowing combined usage of cellular and landline networks in order to ensure uninterrupted service, work force management and vehicles management applications.

Handsets

Cellcom sells a wide selection of handsets (which for purposes of this report may include other types of communications end-user equipment, such as tablets) designed to meet individual preferences. Prices of handsets vary based on handset features and special promotions. Cellcom offers a variety of installment plans for handsets and discounts for short term installment plans. In most cases, handsets are to be paid in 36 monthly installments. Cellcom offers a variety of handsets from world-leading brands such as Apple, LG, Nokia, Samsung, Sony, HTC, ZTE and Alcatel. The vast majority of handset sales in 2015 have been of Apple and Samsung models. The handset models Cellcom sells offer Hebrew language displays in addition to English, Arabic and Russian (in most of the models). Cellcom is also required to provide cellular services to subscribers who did not purchase their handsets from us, provided that the handset model complies with the standards set by the Ministry of Communications. Cellcom offers subscribers repair services for most handsets, in approximately 28 locations, including through their wholly owned dealer, as well as by dispatch service. See also “Customer Care” below.

Cellcom also sells modems, tablets and smart watches to promote data services. In addition, it sells added value products to its customers, such as smart watches. Samsung International Co. Ltd. provides us Samsung products and spare parts for such products, under terms, including price of products, agreed between us and Samsung from time to time.

In 2013, Cellcom entered into an agreement with Apple Sales International for the purchase and distribution of iPhone products in Israel. Under the terms of the agreement, Cellcom has committed to purchase a minimum quantity of iPhone products over a period of three years, which have represented a significant portion of total cellular handset sales over that period.

Landline services

In addition to cellular services, Cellcom provides landline telephony, transmission and data services, using approximately 1,780 kilometers of inland fiber-optic infrastructure and complementary microwave links. Cellcom has offered transmission and data services since 2001, landline telephone service since July 2006, and advanced, voice and data landline services since 2008, both to selected business customers. Since May 2015 Cellcom (and Netvision) have offered internet infrastructure services through the landline wholesale market, using Bezeq’s VDSL infrastructure. Netvision also offers landline services to both private and business customers, focusing on the private sector.

As of December 2014, Cellcom offers OTT-TV services, branded “Cellcom tv” to private customers using Netvision’s systems. Cellcom tv is a hybrid OTT-DTT TV service provided to the Israeli market. The service includes a set-top box that enables linear channels, including channels based on the Israeli Digital terrestrial television (DTT) broadcasting, Video on Demand library subscription (SVoD) that can be accessed from smartphones and tablets (TV anywhere), access to internet video content from selected internet sites, music streaming service and additional advanced features such as personal video recorder, VoD playlist channels and connection to social networks, at highly competitive prices. Cellcom’s VoD catalogue and linear channels offer international and local content from top content suppliers.

Network and Technology

Cellcom’s cellular network has developed over the years since it commenced operations in 1994, and we now have dual cellular and wireline capabilities.

The “fourth generation” LTE, or Long Term Evolution technology, was launched in August 2014 and offers data throughput of up to 112 Mbps on the downlink path and up to 37 Mbps on the uplink path (voice services are provided through our 3G network). The LTE network covers most of the population of Israel and in 2016 it continued to deploy this network and allocate additional spectrum in the 1800 band (where possible) in order to enable higher data throughput rate.

The “third generation” UMTS/HSPA+, or high-speed packet data access, technology, offers full interactive multimedia capabilities with current data rates of up to 42 Mbps on the downlink path and up to 5 Mbps on the uplink path. In 2016, Cellcom intends to continue to support the increasing demand for data traffic, while maintaining its quality of services. This network, considered to be a “3.9” technology, uses the same core as Cellcom’s GSM/GPRS/EDGE network and covers substantially all of the populated territory in Israel. Moreover, Cellcom’s UMTS/HSPA+ network supports types of services that require higher throughput and lower delay, such as video conferencing and provides an adequate fallback for our LTE network by means of smart features and network load sharing.

Cellcom’s “second generation” GSM/GPRS/EDGE 1800MHz network allows for voice calls, data transmission and multimedia services, although at slower speeds than the LTE and UMTS/HSPA+ networks. Cellcom’s GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology is an advanced second-generation technology considered to be a “2.75G” technology. It enables Cellcom to deliver multimedia and services at speeds that are higher than the rates offered through regular “second generation” digital cellular technology. Packet data rates vary from 50 Kbps to 200 Kbps, depending mainly on handset capabilities. In addition, in the case of coverage gaps and for voice services supported by their GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology, the network provides an adequate voice fallback for their LTE and UMTS networks. Most of Cellcom’s traffic uses the UMTS/HSPA+ network with a continuous growth of data using Cellcom’s LTE network.

Cellcom’s transmission network is comprised of approximately 1,780 kilometers of inland advanced fiber-optic cables that, together with Cellcom’s microwave infrastructure, enable them to provide their customers with telephony and high speed and high quality transmission and data services. Cellcom’s transmission network is strategically deployed in order to cover the major portion of Israel’s business parks and permits them to provide their own backhaul services while reducing their need to lease capacity from Bezeq, the incumbent landline operator in Israel.

Cellcom’s system for the provision of advanced centrex services based on cloud solutions to our business landline customers, is by Broadsoft Ltd.

Netvision’s platform by LM Ericsson, allows the provision of our OTT TV services, together with the Israeli DTT infrastructure.

Infrastructure

Cellcom has built an extensive, durable and advanced cellular network system, enabling them to offer high-quality services to substantially the entire Israeli populated territory. They seek to satisfy quality standards that are important to their subscribers, such as high voice quality, high data rate packet sessions, low “blocked call” rate (average rate of call attempts that fail due to insufficient network resources), low “dropped call” rate (average rate of calls that are terminated not in the ordinary course) and deep indoor coverage. Therefore, they have made substantial capital expenditures and expect to continue to make substantial capital expenditures on their network system.

Cellcom’s LTE network is covering most of the population of Israel and they cover substantially all of the populated areas of Israel with both our UMTS/HSPA+ network and our GSM/GPRS/EDGE network. Our LTE and UMTS/HSPA+ networks are mostly co-located with our GSM/GPRS/EDGE network.

Cellular Network design

Cellcom has designed the GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSPA+ and LTE networks in order to provide high quality and reliability in-line with the requirements set forth in their license while using a cost-effective design, utilizing shared components for the networks, where applicable.

Cellcom has a DRP for its engineering systems, aimed at increasing its network’s survivability in case of damage to any of its component systems. The DRP also provides the network with additional advantages, including increased capacity and advanced qualities in line with our license requirements.

Cellcom’s primary goal is to continue deploying its LTE network while allocating a smaller amount of our 1800MGz frequencies to our 2G network, where possible, through advanced and modern equipment and software features, and to continue to support the increasing demand for data traffic of their high speed UMTS/HSPA+ network. At the same time they intend to continue to perform extensive optimization work to provide their subscribers with maximum capability to support video and other broad-bandwidth content.

Cellular Network performance

Cellcom continually seeks to optimize its entire network in order to meet the key performance indicators for its services, including dropped calls, voice quality, accessibility, availability and packet success rate. Cellcom uses advanced planning, monitoring and analyzing tools and introduced advanced and modern equipment and software features in order to achieve performance goals efficiently and with minimal faults.

The main indicators use to measure network performance for voice and packet data are the “blocked call” rate, the “dropped call” rate and average throughput. The average rates of blocked and dropped calls meet those required by Cellcom’s operating license. The average throughput indicator is not a license requirement.

Spectrum allocation

Spectrum availability in Israel is limited and is allocated by the Ministry of Communications through a licensing process. Cellcom has been allocated 2x10 MHz in the 850 MHz frequency band previously used by their TDMA network and currently by their UMTS/HSPA base stations, 2x20 MHz in the 1800 MHz frequency band, 5 - 15 MHz (varying dependent on usage required in different areas) of which are used by our LTE network and the remaining is used by their GSM/GPRS/EDGE network (again varying dependent on usage required in different areas) and 2 x 10 MHz 2100 MHz frequency band used by their UMTS/HSPA network. Cellcom believes that its available spectrum is sufficient for its current needs.

Of the 20 1800 MHz spectra, three were allocated to Cellcom in August 2015 by the Israeli Ministry of Communications, for 4G technologies (such as LTE, LTE Advanced) . Unlike Cellcom’s other frequencies, these frequencies were awarded for a period of just ten years.

Cell site construction and licensing

Cellcom develops cell sites based on a strategy to expand the geographical coverage and improve the quality of its network and as necessary to replace cell sites as needed. Cellcom’s acquisition teams survey the area in order to identify optimal locations for a cell site. In urban areas, this would normally be building rooftops. In rural areas, masts are usually constructed. The transmission teams also identify the best means of connecting the base station to our network, based on Cellcom’s independent transmission network, either by physical optical fiber, microwave link or Bezeq landlines. Once a preferred site has been identified and the exact equipment configuration for that site decided, Cellcom begins the process of obtaining all necessary consents and permits. The construction of cell sites requires building permits from local or regional authorities, or an applicable exemption, as well as a number of additional permits from governmental and regulatory authorities, such as construction and operating permits from the Ministry of Environmental Protection in all cases, permits from the Civil Aviation Authority in most cases and permits from the Israeli Defense Forces in some cases. In special circumstances, additional licenses are required.

Transmission network

Cellcom’s transmission network provides them with wireline connectivity for their cellular and landline network in substantially all of the populated territory of Israel. It is based on their fiber-optic network and complementary microwave infrastructure. Cellcom’s transmission network includes links to their internal cellular network and to their landline and transmission subscribers.

Cellcom’s optical transmission network is deployed from Nahariya in the north to Beer Sheva in the south and Afula and Jerusalem in the east, consisting of approximately 1,780 kilometers. The fiber-optic network reaches most of the business parks in the country and is monitored by a fault-management system that performs real-time monitoring in order to enable them to provide our subscribers with high quality service. In order to efficiently complete their transmission network’s coverage to substantially the entire country, they use a microwave network as a complementary solution in those areas that are not served by their fiber-optic network.

Information technology

Cellcom maintains a variety of information systems that enable it to deliver superior customer service while enhancing our internal processes.

Sales

As part of Cellcom’s strategy to fully penetrate every part of the Israeli market, it seeks to make the purchase of its services and products as easy and accessible as possible, while seeks to optimize costs. These efforts to adapt sales operations to market conditions include optimizing points of sale and transferring operations more cost effective channels. Cellcom offer pricing plans, value-added services, handsets, accessories and related services through a broad network of direct and indirect sales personnel. Cellcom designs pricing plans and promotional campaigns aimed at attracting new subscribers and enhancing customer retention strategies. Cellcom pays independent dealers commissions on sales, while employee sales personnel receive base salaries plus performance-based incentives. All sales and other customer-facing staff go through extensive training prior to commencing their work. Cellcom’s distribution and sales efforts for subscribers are conducted primarily through four channels:

Points of sale. Cellcom distribute products and services through a broad network of physical points of sale providing them with nationwide coverage of their existing and potential subscriber base. Cellcom operate directly approximately 28 physical points of sale and service located in central and other frequently visited locations. In 2015, Cellcom reduced the space of several additional points of sale, in line with its operating strategy, which continued in 2016 on a selective basis.

Cellcom also distributes products and services indirectly through a chain of dozens of dealers (including its wholly-owned dealer, Dynamica) which operates at approximately 150 points of sale throughout Israel. These dealers are compensated for each sale based on qualitative and quantitative measures. Cellcom closely monitors the quality of service provided to their subscribers by Cellcom’s dealers. In Cellcom’s efforts to penetrate certain sectors of their potential subscriber base, Cellcom selects dealers with proven expertise in marketing to such sectors.

Telephonic sales. Telephonic sales efforts target existing and potential subscribers who are interested in buying or upgrading handsets and services. Cellcom’s sales representatives (both in-house and outsourced) offer customers a variety of products and services, tailored to their needs.

Account managers. Cellcom’s direct sales force for business customers maintains regular contact with mid-sized and large accounts, focusing on sales of cellular and wireline services, customer retention and tailor-made solutions for the specific needs of such customers. Cellcom provides small- and mid-sized business customers one point for both sales and services by phone. Cellcom’s account managers are aided by various back office experts in determining customers’ needs and making suitable offers. Sales to larger business customers or governmental and local authorities sometimes involves participation in requests for proposals.

Online sales. Cellcom offers customers the ability to purchase products and services through Cellcom’s internet site and Cellcom’s smartphone application and invest efforts in directing customers toward self-service channels. Cellcom has established a dedicated internet site for the marketing and sales their OTT TV service.

Cellcom Fixed Line Opportunities

Key advantages of Cellcom which are expected to facilitate expansion in the landline business:

Triple play package – the first of its kind in Israel providing Cellcom television, Internet access and infrastructure and telephony at a highly competitive pricing

Large subscriber base: approximately 2.8 million cellular subscribers, representing a 27% market share in the ISP market and approximately 138,000 VOB subscribers

The following is a description of the Products and Services offered by Clal:

Description of the Areas of Activity and Insurance Coverages

Products in this sector mainly consist of retirement solutions for salaried and self-employed individuals, private investment solutions and life insurance, and disability insurance.

· Life insurance products. Consist of contractual obligations between insurer and policyholder, and include insurance plans that allow accumulation of savings and insurance plans and/or combinations in insurance plans that include coverage for death, work disability and disability. A policyholder who reaches the end of the insurance period is entitled to insurance benefits (the amounts accrued in the savings component of the policy) in accordance with the policy terms. The policyholder may receive these amounts as a one-time amount (“Capital Payment”), in lifetime installments (“Annuity”) or a combination of the two, according to the terms of the policy; in some of the annuity products the policyholder benefits from an annuity coefficient protected against extended life expectancy, which is established on the purchasing date of the policy or on the commencement date of the annuity payment to the policyholder, or which can be purchased once the policyholder reaches the age of at least 60.

· Pension funds. Constitute mutual insurance funds, and operate according to regulations which may change from time to time. From the date of retirement, a pension fund member is entitled to receive lifetime annuity payments based on annuity coefficients that do not guarantee life expectancy, and the annuity is likely to change from time to time according to the actuarial balance of the fund.

· Comprehensive pension funds. Allow pension savings for an annuity and death and disability insurance coverage; benefit from designated bonds; and deposits can be made into them up to the maximum set out in law; general (supplementary) pension funds do not benefit from designated bonds, but allow pension savings for an annuity, and deposits may be made into them beyond the maximum stipulated by law. In some general funds, there is no insurance coverage beyond an old age annuity; provident funds provide savings solutions for the long term (such as provident funds for severance pay and compensation to salaried employees) and medium term (study funds), without insurance coverage. A provident fund member is entitled to withdraw the amounts accumulated in his favor in the capital based provident funds, with respect to deposits made until December 31, 2007, in a one-time amount, whereas the amounts accumulated in his favor which were deposited as from January 1, 2008 may be withdrawn by means of an annuity or annuity capitalization. Until the Control of Financial Services (Provident Funds) (Amendment No. 13) Law, 2015 (“Amendment 13 to the Provident Fund Law”) entered into effect, withdrawal by means of an annuity could have been made from an annuity paying provident fund only (currently known as “a provident fund for annuities”), subject to determined exceptions. In this amendment, the option is given to withdraw directly from a provident fund for savings (that was a non-annuity paying provident fund).

How Savings Funds are Invested. Pension savings products differ from each other in the way in which the savings funds are invested. Some of the savings funds are invested in market securities, while others are backed by designated bonds, according to legislation, as set out below:

(a) Life insurance: Life policies issued through the end of 1990 offered policyholders a guaranteed savings component (“Guaranteed Return Policies”). The rate varied according to the type of policy and date of issue. The obligation to pay the guaranteed return was generally backed by designated bonds, whereas the balance of assets was invested according to the restrictions imposed by the Control of Financial Services Regulations (Provident Funds) (Investment Regulations Applicable for Management Companies and Insurers), 2012 (the “Investment Regulations”). As of December 31, 2015, the holding of designated bonds by Clal Insurance constituted 76% of the total assets held against liabilities for Guaranteed Return Policies. Over the years, Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Group has redeemed designated bonds, upon approval of the Ministry of Finance, as a means of achieving excess returns. The proceeds were invested in other investments. Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Group could not buy back designated bonds for some of the reserves that it redeemed and as a result its exposure to free investments increased. According to the accounting mechanism established with the Ministry of Finance, the designated bonds held will be reduced gradually to a rate of 50% of total revenue held against liabilities for guaranteed return policies.

Policies issued since the early 1990s include mainly investment-linked policies in which savings are invested by the insurance companies in free investments, mainly in capital market instruments, while the return less applicable expenses are applied for the benefit of the policyholder based on the returns achieved by the investment portfolio, less management fees;

(b) pension funds: As of the date of this Annual Report, legacy and new comprehensive pension funds benefit from guaranteed returns on the fund’s assets that are backed by designated bonds, up to a maximum rate of 30% of total assets. However, the rate of designated bonds relative to members in the new comprehensive pension funds who, prior to January 1, 2004 were eligible to receive a pension, must represent 70% of the total assets. Also, the government provides “compensation” to the old balanced pension funds in order to reduce the issuance of designated bonds, which was carried out over the years;

(c) provident funds: Since the mid-1980s, designated bonds have not been issued for provident funds (other than a small number of guaranteed return provident funds) and the assets were invested in accordance with the restrictions set out in the Investment Regulations;

(d) Task force to increase certainty in pension savings: In December 2015, the task force to increase certainty in pension savings published a report that, among other things, recommended an increase in the allocation of designated bonds to pensioners and to senior savers approaching retirement age. At the same time, it proposes gradually decreasing the allocation of designated bonds intended for young savers, due to their longer investment horizon. The recommendations of the task force did include an increase in the proportion of designated bonds to total funds under management.

Regulation - the provisions of the Insurance Law, the Supervision of Financial Services (Provident Funds) Law, 5765-2005 (the “Provident Fund Law”), the Income Tax Regulations (Rules for the Approval and Management of Provident Funds), 5724-1964 (the “Provident Fund Regulations”), the Supervision of Financial Services Law (Financial, Consultation, Marketing and Clearing Systems), 5765-2005 (“The Financial Consultation Law”) and the pronouncements and interpretations issued by the Commissioner from time to time, apply to pension fund activities. The Insurance Law and the Provident Fund Law require appropriate licensing for any insurer or pension fund and provident fund management company, including those in the Clal Holdings Group, and each is supervised by the Capital Markets Department.

In January 2016, rules were issued setting for the protocol for the issuance of an additional control permit to a company that manages pension funds or provident funds (“Managing Company”) for any entity that controls other pension or provident funds. In accordance with applicable regulation, an entity may control multiple Managing Companies without needing to merge the two companies, where one of the Managing Companies. Accordingly, Clal Insurance is not required to merge the managing companies which it currently controls.

Others

Includes the assets and income from other miscellaneous businesses, such as technological developments, tourism, oil and gas assets, electronics, and other sundry activities. Our Others segment had operating assets of Ps.25,405 million as of June 30, 2016, representing 17% of our operating assets for the Operations Center in Israel at such date. Our Others segment generated operating losses of Ps.250 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, representing 35%, of our consolidated operating income for the Operations Center in Israel for such year.

Seasonality

In Israel retail segment business results are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of the consumption behavior of the population proximate to the Pesach holidays (March and/or April) and Rosh Hashanah and Sukkoth holidays (September and/or October). This also affects the balance sheet values of inventory, customers and suppliers. Our revenues from cellular services are usually affected by seasonality with the third quarter of the year characterized by higher roaming revenues due to increased incoming and outgoing tourism.

The Passover holiday in the second quarter of 2016 had a greater effect on Shufersal’s results than in the corresponding quarter in 2015, therefore analysis of the results for the first half of the year compared to the corresponding period in 2015 better represents the changes between the periods.

Legal Framework

Operations Center in Argentina

Regulation and Governmental Supervision

The laws and regulations governing the acquisition and transfer of real estate, as well as municipal zoning ordinances are applicable to the development and operation of our properties. Currently, Argentine law does not specifically regulate shopping center lease agreements. Since our shopping center leases generally differ from ordinary commercial leases, we have created provisions which govern the relationship with our shopping center tenants.

Leases

Argentine law imposes certain restrictions on property owners, including:

a prohibition to include automatic price adjustment clauses based on inflation increases in lease agreements; and

the imposition of a two-year minimum lease term for all purposes, except in particular cases such as embassy, consulate or international organization venues, room with furniture for touristic purposes for less than three months, custody and bailment of goods, exhibition or offering of goods in fairs or in cases where the subject matter of the lease agreement is the fulfillment of a purpose specified in the agreement and which requires a shorter term.

Rent Increases

In addition, there are contradictory court rulings regarding whether rent may be increased during the term of the lease agreement. For example, Section 10 of the Public Emergency Law prohibits the adjustment of rent under leases subject to official inflation rates, such as the consumer price index or the wholesale price index. Most of our leases provide for incremental rent increases that are not based on any official index. As of the date of this annual report no tenant has filed any legal action against us challenging incremental rent increases, but we cannot ensure that such actions will not be filed in the future and, if any such actions were successful, that they will not have an adverse effect on us.

Lease Terms Limits

Under the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code lease terms may not exceed fifty years. Generally, our leases are for terms of three to ten years.

Rescission Rights

The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code provides that tenants may terminate leases earlier after the first six months of the effective date. Such termination is subject to penalties which range from one to one and a half months of rent payable. If the tenant terminates the lease during the first year of the lease the penalty is one and a half month’s rent and if termination occurs after the first year of lease the penalty is one month’s rent.

Other

The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code requires a tenant to give at least 60 days’ prior notice of termination. There are no court rulings related to: (i) the tenants’ unilateral right to terminate; or (ii) the possibility of establishing a penalty different from that prescribed by law.

While current Argentine government discourages government regulation of leases, there can be no assurance that additional regulations will not be imposed in the future, including regulations similar to those previously in place. Furthermore, most of our leases provide that the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to the property in proportion to their respective leaseable areas. If a significant increase in the amount of such costs and taxes occurs, the Argentine government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby increasing our costs.

Argentine law enables lessors to pursue an “executory proceeding” if lessees’ fail to pay rent when due. In executory proceedings, debtors have fewer defenses available to prevent foreclosure, making these proceedings substantially shorter than in normal proceedings. In executory proceedings the origin of the debt is not under discussion; the trial focuses on the formalities of debt instrument itself. The code also permits special eviction proceedings, which are carried out in the same way as ordinary proceedings. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code requires that notice be given to a tenant demanding payment of amounts due in the event of breach prior to eviction, of no less than ten days for residential leases, and establishes no limitation or minimum notice for other leases. However, historically, backlogs in court dockets and numerous procedural hurdles have resulted in significant delays to eviction proceedings, which generally last from six months to two years from the date of filing of the suit.

Development and Use of the Land

Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code. Our real estate activities are subject to several municipal zoning, building, occupation and environmental regulations. In the city of Buenos Aires, where the vast majority of our real estate properties are located, the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code (Código de Planeamiento Urbano de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) generally restricts the density and use of property and controls physical features of improvements on property, such as height, design, set-back and overhang, consistent with the city’s urban landscape policy. The administrative agency in charge of the Urban Planning Code is the Secretary of Urban Planning of the City of Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires Building Code. The Buenos Aires Building Code (Código de Edificación de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) complements the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code and regulates the structural use and development of property in the city of Buenos Aires. The Buenos Aires Building Code requires builders and developers to file applications for building permits, including the submission to the Secretary of Work and Public Services (Secretaría de Obras y Servicios Públicos) of architectural plans for review, to assure compliance therewith.

We believe that all of our real estate properties are in material compliance with all relevant laws, ordinances and regulations.

Sales and Ownership

Buildings Law. Buildings Law No. 19,724 (Ley de Pre horizontalidad) was superseded by the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code which became effective on August 1, 2015. The new regulations provide that for purposes of execution of agreements with respect to build units or condo units under construction, the owner or developer must purchase insurance in favor of prospective purchasers against the risk of frustration of the contract. A breach of this obligation prevents the owner from exercising any right against the purchaser–such as demanding payment of any outstanding installments due – unless the owner fully complies with its obligations, but does not prevent the purchaser from exercising its rights against seller.

Protection for the Disabled Law. The Protection for the Disabled Law No. 22,431, enacted on March 20, 1981, as amended, provides that in connection with the construction and renovation of buildings, obstructions to access must be eliminated in order to enable access by handicapped individuals. In the construction of public buildings, entrances, transit pathways and adequate facilities for mobility impaired individuals must be provided for. Buildings developed before the Law came into effect must be retrofitted to provide access, transit pathways and adequate facilities for mobility-impaired individuals. Those pre-existing buildings, which due to their architectural design may not be so retrofitted, are exempted from compliance. The Protection for the Disabled Law provides that residential buildings must ensure access by mobility impaired individuals to elevators and aisles. Architectural requirements refer to pathways, stairs, ramps and parking.

Real Estate Installment Sales Law. The Real Estate Installment Sales Law No. 14,005, as amended by Law No. 23,266 and Decree No. 2015/85, imposes a series of requirements on contracts for the sale of subdivided real estate property regarding, for example, the sale price which is paid in installments and the deed, which is not conveyed until final payment of such price. The provisions of this law require, among other things:

The registration of the intention to sell the property in subdivided plots with the Real Estate Registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmueble) corresponding to the jurisdiction of the property. Registration will only be possible with regard to unencumbered property. Mortgaged property may only be registered where creditors agree to divide the debt in accordance with the subdivided plots. However, creditors may be judicially compelled to agree to the division.

Preliminary registration with the Real Estate Registry of the deed of transfer within 30 days of execution of the sales contract.

Once the property is registered, the installment sale must be consistent with the requirements of the Real Estate Installment Sales Act, unless seller affirms that it will not provide for the sale in installments. If a title dispute arises, the installment purchaser who has duly registered the purchase instrument with the Real Estate Registry will be entitled to the deed. Further, the purchaser can demand conveyance of title after at least 25% of the purchase price has been paid, although the seller may demand a mortgage to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price.

After payment of 25% of the purchase price or the construction of improvements on the property equal to at least 50% of the value of the property, the Real Estate Installment Sales Act prohibits termination of the sales contract for failure by the purchaser to pay the balance of the purchase price. However, in such event the seller may take action under any mortgage on the property.

Other Regulations

Consumer Relationship. Consumer or End User Protection. The Argentine Constitution expressly establishes in Article 42 that consumers and users of goods and services have a right to protection of health, safety and economic interests in a consumer relationship. Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240, as amended, provides protection of consumers and end users in a consumer relationship, in the arrangement and execution of contracts.

The Consumer Protection Law, and the applicable provisions of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code regulate the rights conferred under the Constitution focused on the weakest party in the consumer relationship as a means to prevent potential abuses by vendors of goods and services in a mass-market economy where standard contracts are the norm.

As a result, contractual provisions included in consumer contracts are voided and unenforceable if they:

Are inconsistent with the essence of the service to be provided or limit liability for damages;

imply a waiver or restriction of consumer rights and an extension of seller rights; or

shift the burden of proof to consumers.

In addition, the Consumer Protection Law imposes penalties ranging from warnings to the forfeiture of concession rights, privileges, tax regimes or special credits to which the sanctioned party may be entitled, including closing down of establishments for a term of up to 30 days.

The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code defines a consumer agreement as are entered into between a consumer or end user and an individual or legal entity that provides professional services or a private or public company that manufactures goods or offers services to consumers in the stream of commerce.

In addition, the Consumer Protection Law establishes a joint and several liability system under which for any damages caused to consumers, if resulting from a defect or risk inherent in the thing or the provision of a service, the producer, manufacturer, importer, distributor, supplier, seller and anyone who has placed its trademark on the good or service is liable. The Consumer Protection Law excludes professional services that require a college degree and that are provided by members of professional organizations or those provided by a governmental authority. However, this law regulates professional advertisements.

The Consumer Protection Law determines that the information contained in the offer addressed to undetermined prospective consumers, binds the offeror during the period in which the offer takes place and until its public revocation. Further, it determines that specifications included in advertisements, announcements, prospectuses, circulars or other media bind the offeror and are considered part of the contract entered into by the consumer.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 104/05 issued by the Secretariat of Technical Coordination reporting to the Argentine Ministry of Economy, the Consumer Protection Law adopted Resolution No. 21/2004 issued by the Mercorsur’s Common Market Group which requires that those who engage in commerce over the Internet (E-Business) shall disclose in a precise and clear manner the characteristics of the products and/or services offered and the sale terms. Failure to comply with the terms of the offer is deemed an unjustified denial to sell and gives rise to sanctions.

On September 17, 2014, a new Consumer Protection Law was enacted by the Argentine Congress –Law No. 26,993. This law, known as “System for Conflict Resolution in Consumer Relationships,” provided for the creation of new administrative and judicial procedures. It created a two-tiered administrative system: the Preliminary Reconciliation Agency for Consumer Relationships (Servicio de Conciliación Previa en las Relaciones de Consumo, COPREC) and the Consumer Relationship Audit, and a number of courts assigned to conflicts between consumers and producers (Fuero Judicial Nacional de Consumo). A claim may not exceed a fixed amount equivalent to 55 adjustable minimum living wages, as determined by the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security. The claim must be filed with the administrative agency. If an agreement is not reached between the parties, the claimant may file the claim in court. The COPREC is currently in full force and effect. However, the court system is not in force yet, therefore, any court claims currently must filed with existing courts. A considerable volume of claims filed against us are expected to be settled pursuant to the system.

Antitrust Law. Law No. 25,156, as amended, prevents monopolistic practices and requires administrative authorization for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law constitute an economic concentration. According to this law, mergers, transfers of goodwill, acquisitions of property or rights over shares, capital or other convertible securities, or similar operations by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences a company, are considered as an economic concentration. Whenever an economic concentration involves a company or companies and the aggregate volume of business of the companies concerned exceeds in Argentina the amount of Ps.200 million, in such case the respective concentration should be submitted for approval to the Argentine Antitrust Authority (Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia, “CNDC”). The request for approval may be filed either prior to the transaction or within a week after its completion.

When a request for approval is filed, the CNDC may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) condition the transaction to satisfaction of certain conditions, or (iii) reject the application.

The Antitrust Law provides that economic concentrations in which the transaction amount and the value of the assets absorbed, acquired, transferred or controlled in Argentina, do not exceed Ps.20 million are exempted from the law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the transactions consummated by the companies involved in the prior 12-month period exceed in the aggregate Ps.20 million or Ps.60 million in the last 36 months, these transactions must be notified to the CNDC.

As our consolidated annual sales volume and our parent’s consolidated annual sales volume exceed Ps.200 million, we should give notice to the CNDC of any concentration provided for by the Antitrust Law.

Credit Card Law. Law No. 25,065, as amended by Law No. 26,010 and Law No. 26,361, governs certain aspects of the business activity known as “credit card system.” Regulations impose minimum contract contents and approval thereof by the Argentine Ministry of Industry, as well as limitations on chargeable interest by users and commissions charged by the retail stores that adhere to the system. The Credit Card Law applies both to banking and non-banking cards, such as “Tarjeta Shopping,” issued by Tarshop S.A. Pursuant to Communication “A” 5477 issued by the Argentine Central Bank, loans granted under credit cards by non-financial entities cannot exceed 25% of the monthly interest rate published by the Argentine Central Bank for loans to individuals without security interests.

Environmental Law. Our activities are subject to a number of national, provincial and municipal environmental provisions.

Article 41 of the Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, provides that all Argentine inhabitants have the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development and have the duty to preserve it. Environmental damage shall bring about primarily the obligation to restore it as provided by applicable law. The authorities shall control the protection of this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of biodiversity, and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The National Government shall establish minimum standards for environmental protection whereas Provincial and Municipal Governments shall fix specific standards and regulatory provisions.

On November 6, 2009, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675. Such law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and fixes environmental policy goals. Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, such Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and mainly provides for restoration of the environment to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, for payment of compensation in lieu thereof. Such Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum reporting obligations to be fulfilled by natural and legal entities.

In addition, the CNV Rules require the obligation to report to the Commission any events of any nature and fortuitous acts that seriously hinder or could potentially hinder performance of our activities, including any events that generate or may generate significant impacts on the environment, providing details on the consequences thereof.

The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code introduced as a novel feature the acknowledgement of collective rights, including the right to a healthy and balanced environment expressly sets forth that the law does not protect an abusive exercise of individual rights if such exercise could have an adverse impact on the environment and collective rights in general. For additional information see “Item 3 (d). Risk Factors - Risk relating to our Business - Our business is subject to extensive regulation and additional regulations may be imposed in the future.”

Control Systems

IRSA Commercial Properties owns computer systems to monitor tenants’ sales (except stands) in all of its shopping centers. IRSA CP also conducts regular manual audits of its tenants accounting sales records in all of its shopping centers. Almost every store in those shopping centers has a point of sale that is linked to a main computer server in the administrative office of such shopping center. IRSA CP uses the information generated from the computer monitoring system for statistics regarding total sales, average sales, peak sale hours, etc., for marketing purposes and as a reference for the processes of internal audit. The lease contracts for tenants in Alto Avellaneda, Alto Palermo, Alcorta Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Buenos Aires Design, Abasto, Alto Rosario, Alto NOA, Dot Baires Shopping, Córdoba Shopping, Soleil Premium Outlet, La Ribera Shopping, Mendoza Plaza, Distrito Arcos and Alto Comahue contain a clause requiring tenants to be linked to the computer monitoring system, there being certain exceptions to this requirement.

Insurance

We carry all-risk insurance for the shopping centers and other buildings covering property damage caused by fire, explosion, gas leak, hail, storms and wind, earthquakes, vandalism, theft and business interruption. In addition, we carry liability insurance covering any potential damage to third parties or property caused by the conduct of our business throughout Argentina. We are in compliance with all legal requirements related to mandatory insurance, including insurance required by the Occupational Risk Law (Ley de Riesgos del Trabajo), life insurance required under collective bargaining agreements and other insurance required by laws and executive orders. Our history of damages is limited to one single claim resulting from a fire in Alto Avellaneda Shopping in March 2006, a loss which was substantially recovered from our insurers. These insurance policies contain specifications, limits and deductibles which we believe are adequate to the risks to which we are exposed in our daily operations. We further maintain liability insurance covering our directors’ and corporate officers’ liability.

Operations Center in Israel

IDBD is a holding company that invests, either directly or through its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in companies that operate in various sectors of the economy in Israel. IDBD is directly affected by the political, economic, military and regulatory conditions of Israel. The main regulations applicable to IDBD’s business are described below. For more information, see “Risk Factors– Risks related to IDBD and IDBD’s subsidiaries.”

General regulations applicable to our business in Israel

Proper Conduct of Banking Business

IDBD and certain of its affiliates are subject to supervision by the Israeli Supervisor of Banks relating to “Proper Conduct of Banking Business” which impose, among others limits on the aggregate principal amount of loans a financial institution can have outstanding to a single borrower, a group of related borrowers, and to the largest borrowers and groups of related borrowers of a banking entity (as these terms are defined in the aforesaid directives). IDBD, its controlling shareholders and its affiliates are considered a single group of borrowers for purposes of this regulation. These restrictions limit the ability of IDBD and its affiliates to borrow from a single bank in Israel, their ability to make investments where they require bank lines of credit, to invest in companies that have loans outstanding from banks in Israel, and to make business transactions together with groups that have such credit outstanding. In the period from 2013 and until the date of publication of the report, the concentration of credit risk of IDBD and its affiliates decreased as a result of a reduction in the amount of utilized credit for the group that includes IDBD, including as a result of a change of control that resulted in a re-characterization of the group for purposes of applicable regulation.

Reduced Centralization Act

In December 2013, the official “Reshumot” published in Israel the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Centralization Law, N° 5774-2013 (the “Reduced Centralization Act ”) pursuant to which a pyramidal structure (or multiholding companies) of control in “reporting entities” (principally entities whose securities are held by public shareholders) is limited to two layers of reporting entities (with the holding company in the first layer not including a reporting entity that has no controlling shareholder). For this purpose, on the date of publication of the law in Reshumot, IDBD was considered a second-tier company and Discount Investments was considered a third-tier company, and as such, Discount Investments would not have been permitted to continue to control the operating companies after December 2019. As a result of the change in control of IDBD, IDBD and Discount Investments are no longer considered as second and third-tier companies, respectively, for the purpose of the Law. If Discount Investments is considered a second-tier company, it would be required by December 2019 at the latest, to cease controlling entities with publicly held securities.

(a)

Taking either IDBD or Discount Investments private thereby removing the requirement that they be reporting entities (and as a result not a “tier company”); and

(b)

Merge IDBD and Discount Investments.

IDBD, as a first-tier company, and Discount Investments, as a second-tier company, are not required to designate independent directors to their respective boards of directors or to appoint outside directors as required by the Law.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Law, the boards of directors of Cellcom, PBC, Elron, Gav-Yam, Ispro and Mehadrin, include a majority of independent outside directors. In June 2014, the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Centralization (Classification of a Company as a Tier Company) Regulations, N° 5774-2014, came into effect, as part of which exemptions were provided for certain “third-tier” entities from changing the composition of their boards of directors to comply with the Reduced Centralization Act. Pursuant to this law and the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Centralization (Concessions Regarding the Number of Outside directors) Regulations, N° 5774-2014, and in view of the number of directors who may be appointed with the consent of the Bronfman-Fisher Group (per the terms of the shareholders’ agreement between it and Discount Investments), the Board of Directors of Shufersal includes a majority of independent outside directors. In this context, in August 2014, Discount Investments entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Bronfman-Fisher (which at the time held approximately 19% of the share capital of Shufersal), pursuant to which Discount Investments will vote in favor of the four directors designated by Bronfman-Fisher at the meeting of shareholders of Shufersal (out of a board of fifteen members), for so long as it holds the minimum defined percentage of the share capital of Shufersal, although Discount Investments reserves the right to object to any candidate on reasonable grounds.

These arrangements will be in effect so long as the restrictions of section 25(d) to the Reduced Centralization Act apply to Shufersal. Accordingly, Discount Investments, which as of December 31, 2015, owned approximately 53% of Shufersal’s share capital, is effectively able to appoint the majority of the members of Shufersal’s Board of Directors.

The Reduced Centralization Act includes provisions relating to a separation between significant affiliates and significant financial institutions. Consequently, so long as IDBD will be a significant operating entity, after December 11, 2019, IDBD will not be able to control Clal Insurance and additional financial affiliates within the Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprise Group or to hold more than 10% of the equity of any such entity (or more than a 5% stake in such an entity if it is regarded as an insurer without a controlling shareholder).

In May 2015, updated lists were published on the website of the Ministry of Finance and the official gazette in connection with the Reduced Centralization Act, which includes a list of the centralization factors, the list of the significant corporations and a list of the significant financial institutions. In accordance with the provisions of the Reduced Centralization Act, a substantial financial institution or a significant real corporation will be deemed as a centralization factor that subjects these entities to the provisions of the Reduced Centralization Act, as well as any entity that is part of a business group that includes a significant financial entity or a significant real corporation. IDBD and its controlling shareholders (Eduardo Elsztain and entities through which he holds his interest in IDBD) and the companies of the IDBD Group (including Discount Investments, Cellcom, PBC, Shufersal, Adama, Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises, IDB Tourism, Noya Oil and Gas Explorations Ltd. and companies under the control of these companies) were included in the list of centralization factors, and these entities, except for Adama (excluding Eduardo Elsztain himself), were also included in the list of significant corporations. In addition, companies of Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises, including Clal Insurance (except Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises) and Epsilon Investment House Ltd. (held by Discount Investments) were also included in the list of the significant financial institutions.

Insofar as Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises will continue to be considered a significant real entity, this may affect its ability to retain control of Clal Insurance, directly or indirectly after December 2019, which may adversely affect its ability to appoint joint directors in both of the companies (Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises and Clal Insurance).

In light of the directives issued by the Commissioner in connection with the appointment of a trustee for holding control in Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises, which currently are held by IDBD and considering the letter issued by the Commissioner on December 30, 2014 pursuant to which IDBD is required to sell its control shares in Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises, Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises has appealed to the Concentration Committee in connection with its classification as a significant real entity.

In November 2014, IDBD’s Board of Directors resolved, subject to requisite corporate approvals, to promote a consolidation of management functions at IDBD and Discount Investments, in order to achieving costs savings. In this regard, on March 29, 2016, IDBD’s Board of Directors approved the terms of office and of employment of Mr. Shalom Lapidot to be chief executive officer of both IDBD and Discount Investments, which was subsequently approved by the compensation committee of Discount Investments. The term of office of Mr. Lapidot is subject to approval of a general meeting of shareholders of Discount Investments.

Regulations applicable to each of the businesses in Israel

Real Estate

In recent years, there has been continued shortage in manpower in the construction and agricultural industries which typically are labor intensive and depend on foreign workers, including in the areas of Judea and Samaria. The security situation in Israel, as well as the shutdown of Judea and Samaria during certain periods of the year, have resulted in continued shortage in the workforce, driven by lower numbers of foreign workers from Judea and Samaria. In July 2015, the Minister of Finance increased the quota of foreign work permits to approximately 20,000 through the end of 2016, as a means to achieving the goal of increasing new construction projects by 70,000 during the year and to promote new housing starts to alleviate the housing crisis. Given the shortage of skilled workers, wages increased in general and in particular those of foreign construction workers. The shortage and unavailability of a skilled workforce, increased construction costs and resulted in longer timetables for the execution of new projects.

Supermarkets

Labor Law

The retail sector activities of Shufersal are subject to labor laws including the Employment of Workers by Human Resources Subcontractors Law, 5756-1996, the Extension Order in the Matter of Contract Workers in the Cleaning Branch in the Private Sector, the Minimum Wage Law, 5747-1987 and the Increased Enforcement of Labor Laws Law, 5772-2011. As of December 31, 2015, Shufersal employed approximately 1,000 workers, all of which are subject to minimum wage requirements. The majority of Shufersal’s employees are parties to a collective bargaining agreement.

The provisions of the Minimum Wage Law (Increase of Minimum Wage - Emergency Provision), 5772 - 2015 and the amendment of the Minimum Wage Law, 5747 – 1987, resulted in an increase in the minimum wage effective as of April 2015 and led to an increase of NIS 43 million in Shufersal’s wage expense in 2015 (compared with 2014). In Shufersal’s evaluation the increase of the minimum wage in Israel, changes to labor laws in Israel and the increased possibility of organized workers may detrimentally affect the business results of Shufersal and result in higher wage expenses of Shufersal.

Retail and Production

The activities of Shufersal are also subject to consumer protection laws, including the Food Law, the Defective Products Liability Law, 5740-1980, the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981, and the Consumer Product and Service Price Supervision Law, 5756-1996 that allows a consumer to institute a class action suit for damages caused to consumers as a whole based on the causes of action set out in that law.

The Public Health Protection (Food) Law, 5776-2015, sets forth quality standards and food safety measures and provides the relevant regulator supervisory and criminal and administrative enforcement powers. The provisions of the Food Protection Law affect production activities of Shufersal, including importation and food marketing activities. Shufersal is continuing the process of implementing procedures to comply with the provisions of the Food Protection Law that apply to its activities. Shufersal also operates pharmacies in certain of its stores, and is therefore subject to the provisions of the Pharmacists Ordinance (New Version), 5741-1981.

Shufersal is involved in manufacturing activities at three owned facilities where it produces principally private-branded baked goods which are subject to compliance with applicable production and quality assurance standards. Shufersal is continuously evaluating compliance of these facilities with the provisions of the Food Protection Law and as of the date of this Annual Report, Shufersal believes its operations comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of this law.

The retail activities of each Shufersal store requires compliance with the Business License Order (Businesses Requiring a License), 5773-2013, principally providing that they obtain a business operating license for each unit. As of the date of this Annual Report, there are two units that are subject to legal proceedings regarding business licenses that are pending against Shufersal and its directors. Shufersal’s operating units are also subject to land development approvals and licensing, substantially all of which are in compliance.

The Food Law and the Anti Trusts Law

The Antitrust Law affects the activities of Shufersal, especially with respect of the possibility of carrying out future acquisitions for which approval is required from the Antitrust Commissioner (the “Commissioner”) and the influence on the trade arrangements of Shufersal with its suppliers. The Food Law regulates Shufersal’s trade arrangements with its suppliers which are regulated in detail which are designed to promote competition in the food supply industry. As of the date of this Annual Report, Shufersal believes that growth through acquisitions of a significant entity in the retail market would be limited. Moreover, provisions of the Food Law relating to geographical competition of retailers may influence the ability of Shufersal to expand organically through opening new stores in certain areas and under certain circumstances Shufersal may be required to close active branches under certain circumstances.

The Food Law includes the following three systems:

(a) with respect to activities of suppliers and retail trade, the Food Law prohibits:

i. a supplier interfering with the retail price of the products of another supplier;

ii. a retailer interfering with a supplier in the matter of the consumer price imposed by another retailer;

iii. a large supplier imposing its market position to influence the ordering or presentation of retail products within stores of a large retailer (Shufersal is included in the list of large retailers);

iv. a large supplier interfering with the price a retailer charges consumers for the products of that supplier, in the allocation of sales areas at any rate for the products of the supplier, for the acquisition of a product from the supplier in any scope from the total retail purchases of the product and of competing products, and for the purchase or sale of products which another supplier supplies to the retailer, including purchase quantities and goals, the sale area allocated to them in a store and any other commercial condition sought to be imposed;

v. a large retailer and a large supplier agreeing to set the pricing of a basket of products at a price that is lower than the marginal cost of production of the related product or that would require a consumer to purchase a minimum amount of the related product to achieve the reduces price;

vi. a large supplier conditioning the sale of its product to a retailer on the purchase of another product of that large supplier; and

vii. a supplier forwarding payments to the large retailer, unless by way of a price reduction of the product units.

(b) Restrictions on geographical competition of retailers have adversely affected Shufersal’s expansion through organic growth and acquisitions. On September 28, 2014 Shufersal received a notification from the Antitrust Authority regarding demand areas of Shufersal’s large stores (“Notice of Demand Areas”). The stores that were the subject of the Commissioner’s request under the Law are 14 stores located in Haifa, 3 stores in Carmiel, 4 stores in Hadera, and 3 stores in Safed. As of the date of this Annual Report, Shufersal has not been required to close or dispose of any of its stores.

(c) Provisions designed to increase transparency of consumer prices, inter alia, by requiring a large retailer to publish on the internet and without cost to consumers, various data on prices of consumer goods it sells in its stores to allow consumers to compare prices with those of other retailers.

(d) Provisions regarding the contemporaneous application of the Food Law and the Antitrust law - In December 2015, the Commissioner published a statement on the parallel application of the Antitrust Law and the Food Law listing cases in which only the provisions of the Food Law will apply and no additional regulation will be required under the Antitrust Law. As of the date of the notice Shufersal’s operations comply with the Food Law. As of December 31, 2015 the implementation of the Food Law has had no significant impact on Shufersal’s business.

Shufersal’s acquisition of Clubmarket was approved by the Commissioner in 2005, and within this framework the Commissioner imposed a number of limitations on Shufersal’s activities including: prohibiting Shufersal from pricing products that result in a loss that is not proportionate to its business activities and are aimed to affect the operations of competitors from the market; prohibiting Shufersal from entering into agreements with suppliers that impose restrictions on those suppliers from doing business with competitors of Shufersal; and prohibiting Shufersal from attempting to influence commercial conditions between its suppliers and competitors.

Shufersal obtained an exemption from the Commissioner, available until October 14, 2018, regarding the operation of the Fourth Chain, which is a label company owned by a number of supermarket chains that was established to develop consumer goods. The Commissioner’s decision took into account the fact that Fourth Chain contracted with a third party that develops products for it under a private brand and the stipulated exemption exclusively permits these joint activities for the development of the private brand. Shufersal believes the Fourth Chain private label increases competition by establishing a cost-effective alternative to dominant branded consumer products.

The findings of the Commissioner in the matter of the rules of conduct among the largest store chains and the dominant suppliers in the food supply market, including under the provisions of the Food Law, and in the matter of the merger of Shufersal with Clubmarket, may have a detrimental effect on Shufersal’s business, its financial condition and operating results.

Agriculture

a. Operations Development and Licensing. ADAMA manufactures generic crop protection products which require production processes and licensing of existing molecules or processes. The primary development and licensing operation focuses on chemical-engineering development of production processes for new active ingredients and generic products, biological and agricultural testing intended for obtaining licenses, development of licensing information for the active ingredients and solutions that form licensing portfolios for the various regions, development of compounds, streamlining of production processes and development of new and specialized formulations of existing products. Moreover, ADAMA also engages in scientific-technological backup of existing production processes with emphasis on improving quality, efficiency, safety, environmental protection and reducing production costs. Furthermore, ADAMA develops several innovative substances, based on molecules acquired after a screening process, in which their effectiveness is proven. As of the date of this annual report, ADAMA operates research and development (R&D) facilities in Israel, India and Brazil and has started operating on R&D facility in China. In addition to chemical development, ADAMA develops licensed products through third party producers. At times, such development incorporates proprietary know-how and processes owned by ADAMA, as well as those developed jointly with subcontractors, in addition to processes and know-how of Adama’s suppliers.

Licensing - at various stages of manufacture and marketing, the substances and products marketed by ADAMA require licensing in each country in which it operates (ADAMA products that are manufactured and sold in Israel require licensing under the Crop Protection Law, 956). ADAMA has seven development and licensing centers in Europe, Israel, Latin America (Brazil), the United States and Asia, and licensing expertise in more than 100 countries. For its foregoing operations, ADAMA employs 170 employees around the world and also works with external contractors. Crop protection products are sold under the control of government authorities in each country (usually ministries of agriculture, health and the environment). The licensing requirements vary from time to time and in general have become more stringent over the years throughout the world, resulting in increased licensing costs and time commitments. The most demanding licensing standards are in the United States, Brazil, Japan and the EU. The rest of the world generally is adapting their requirements to the standards of the more advanced countries. In some countries, the license is not limited in time, but further development of licensing information is required every few years. Some of the countries grant licenses for 7-15 years and renew them at the end of that period subject additional testing Licensing costs and procedures differ from one state to another and may take several years. ADAMA is also required to make modifications to fully adapt any product in a certain country to the specific licensing requirements of that country. ADAMA regularly reviews the compliance of its products with the licensing requirements in the various countries in which they are sold, and adjusts them as needed. Licensing costs usually amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars per product and in some countries, such as the United States, the European Union and Japan, the costs can reach millions of dollars per product. In 2015, ADAMA received 276 new licenses for marketing its products (excluding expansion of labels of permitted products for new crops).

In 2015, ADAMA’s licensing expenses amounted to US$93.1 million, with the addition of depreciation the gross amount constitutes 3% of ADAMA’s revenue for 2015.

b. Labor Laws. Labor Relations in Israel. Labor relations of most of the employees of ADAMA’s subsidiaries are regulated under special collective agreements for limited periods. In addition, some of the employees of ADAMA’s subsidiaries in Israel are employed under personal agreements. As part of an agreement executed in 2011 between ADAMA and the Histadrut regarding employees in Israel, ADAMA undertook to carry on production, at the scope and on certain production lines, at the plants of the subsidiaries in Israel through June 1, 2017. In 2015, in addition to the provisions set aside by ADAMA in preceding years with regard to these understandings, ADAMA set aside a provision of US$12 million which is recorded in its financial statements under other expenses.

Labor Relations in Brazil. At two of ADAMA’s plants in Brazil, labor relations are subject to a collective bargaining agreement that is renewed every two years, and to the best of ADAMA’s knowledge, there has been no major labor unrest in recent years.

As of the date of this annual report, ADAMA believes that it is not dependent upon any of its employees.

c. Environmental Risks and Environmental Regulation

General. ADAMA is exposed to various environmental risks and its operations are subject to extensive environmental regulation, that varies by country where ADAMA operates. In recent years environmental legislation (or in stages of legislation) applicable to ADAMA’s operations have become much stricter as supervision and enforcement of these environmental requirements has tightened. ADAMA believes that this trend is expected to continue in the future.

ADAMA holds, as required by law, various permits and licenses such as business licenses, toxins permits and permits for pumping effluents into the sea. To the best of ADAMA’s knowledge, of the date of this annual report the permits and licenses applicable to ADAMA with regard to environmental issues are valid.

ADAMA’s environmental risk management policy: ADAMA attaches great importance to protecting the environment by accepting social and environmental responsibility and takes necessary measures to comply with the requirements of the law, and seeks to exceed compliance, through continuous dialogue with affected parties, including the authorities and the community.

Environmental Regulation. The key environmental law applicable to ADAMA’s operations are, inter alia, the Law for the Prevention of Nuisances, 1961; the Job Safety Ordinance (New Version), 1970; Business Licensing Law, 1968; Water Law, 1959; Law for the Prevention of Sea Pollution from Land-Based Sources, 1988 “Prevention of Sea Pollution”); Hazardous Materials Law, 1993 “Hazardous Materials Law”); Israel Clean Air Law, 2008 (“Clean Air Law”) and their regulations.

ADAMA continuously reviews the impact of environmental regulation on its business, acts to prevent or minimize environmental risks and to reduce environmental impacts that could be caused by its operations and invests considerable resources in ensuring compliance with the provisions of the environmental laws and those that may apply to it.

In September 2015, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued for public comment a memorandum of the Integrated Environmental Licensing Law, 2015. The Memorandum of Law sets out one licensing procedure for businesses that have a substantial impact on the environment, at the end of which the business is granted an integrated environmental license in substitution of various environmental permits and licenses. The Memorandum of Law seeks to update and strengthen legal requirements applicable to, among other things, the use of hazardous substances, treatment of waste, compliance with building and construction laws, sanctions for license violation, etc. In view of the early stage of this legislation, ADAMA is unable to assess whether these obligations will apply to it or as to the scope thereof.

Air Quality. ADAMA’s plants are subject to regulation relating to air emissions under the Clean Air Law. ADAMA’s plants have duly filed applications for emission permits and some plants have already received valid emission permits or draft emission permits.

In May 2012, ADAMA signed an arbitration agreement with a group of Nir-Galim residents pursuant to which ADAMA agreed to comply with the recommendations of a certified expert to prevent future potential air and odor nuisances and to invest in facilities such as those mentioned above. In September 2015, the expert appointed pursuant to the mediation agreement announced that the mediation outline will be implemented in full by ADAMA and thereby the mediation proceedings came to an end. ADAMA makes substantial investments to minimize and prevent environmental consequences of its operations on air quality.

Effluents and Pumping into the Sea. The Prevention of Sea Pollution Law requires that the Ministry of Environmental Protection issue a permit for pumping wastewater or effluents into the sea. The ADAMA plant in Ashdod has such permit the terms of which have been made more stringent throughout the permit period as part of the general trend adopted by the Ministry.

Land. There are hazardous materials that are stored and located at Adama’s plant, as well as infrastructure and facilities, which contain fuels and hazardous materials. ADAMA is dedicated to preventing and treating the pollution of land and water by these materials.

ADAMA’s plant in Ashdod has been requested to conduct various land and well surveys for groundwater by the Ministry of the Environment and by the Water Authority. When the surveys were presented, the plant was required to present a program to mitigate environmental risks in accordance with methodology set by the Ministry of the Environment. The plant presented a detailed program to the Water Authority for the treatment of the ground water, which has been accepted in principle by the Water Authority.

The ADAMA plant in Be’er Sheva has been requested by the Ministry of the Environment to conduct an historical land survey and sample tests on ground gases. Sample tests of the ground gases have been conducted in coordination the Ministry of the Environment, and as of the date hereof, the plant has not been required to take any further action in this connection.

Within the context of the integrated environmental regulation process, ADAMA’s plant at Neot Hovav has been required to present a historical land survey. The survey was presented to the Ministry of the Environment at the beginning of 2015. At this stage, ADAMA is unable to evaluate whether additional requirements will be placed upon it in relation to surveys or the treatment of land or ground water at its plant, what their substance might be and whether they would have any significant impact on it.

Pollution of the groundwater was discovered in the Neot Hovav Council in the past, following which the Council took various steps to halt the spreading pollution and to extract it, including the treatment and monitoring of the underground water. As the date hereof, ADAMA is not required to incur expenditures in the treatment of the pollution. The possibility exists that the Neot Hovav Council will require ADAMA to contribute to the costs of remediation in the future. However, ADAMA is unable at present to evaluate whether such a demand will be made and what the size of such a demand may be.

Adama’s Investments in the Environment. ADAMA’s investments in environmental compliance in 2015, amounted to approximately US$21 million (facilities) and approximately US$41 million (routine costs exclusive of depreciation). ADAMA intends to continue to make investments, insofar as may be required and deemed appropriate to exceed these standards on environmental issues, in order to realize its policy of optimizing compliance. In Adama’s assessment, in each of the years 2016 – 2018 the total environmental costs are expected to amount to approximately US$60 million.

Adama’s plan in Brazil –ADAMA’s Brazilian subsidiary has two main plants, located in the South of Brazil. To the best of ADAMA’s knowledge, as at the time of this annual report, all of the permits and the licenses are in full force and effect. The Brazilian subsidiary invests in safety and ecological facilities in its plants, including in the performance of independent environmental testing to ensure compliance with the terms of its licenses, control over water sources located near the plant and the monitoring of emissions into the atmosphere, based on advanced technology. Periodic tests on the volume of the emissions into the atmosphere and the water sources show that the Brazilian plants comply with the requirements of the State’s Ministry of the Environment. As part of that company’s policy for improving ecological processes, it invests in the correction of deficiencies that have been found, changes in production processes, the building of facilities for purifying wastewater, the storage of by-products and recycling.

d. Legislation, standards, regulation and exposure in the environmental field, in health and in safety.

Adama may bear significant civil (including through class actions) or criminal liability (including high fines and/or payments of high amounts of compensation and/or environmental monitoring and rehabilitation costs) in respect of a breach of environmental regulation and failure to comply with health and safety standards including on the basis of strict liability. Even though Adama makes substantial investments in its facilities and in building special facilities in accordance with environmental requirements, it is unable to verify that those investments will be sufficient to satisfy evolving requirements. In addition, Adama is subject lawsuits alleging physical or property damage as a result of exposures to hazardous materials, which are covered for the most part by Adama’s insurance policies.

Telecommunnications

Communications Regulations

Cellcom’s operations are subject to general legal provisions regulating the relationships and method of contracting with its customers. These provisions include the Consumer Protection Law, 5721-1981 and regulations promulgated thereunder and other laws detailed below. A substantial part of Cellcom’s operations are subject to the Communications Law, regulations enacted by the Ministry of Communications, and the provisions of the licenses granted to Cellcom by the Minister of Communications. Cellcom’s actives which include providing cellular service, landline, international telephone services and internet access, and infrastructure services are subject to licensing.

Supervision of Rates. The Communications Regulations (Telecommunications and Broadcasts) (Payments for Interconnect), 5760 - 2000 requires cellular operators to phase in gradual reduction of communications rates (i.e. payments that will be made by an in-country operator, another cellular operator or international operator to complete one minute of call time in the network of a cellular operator or for the sending of an SMS between cellular operators). This reduction has led to a considerable reduction in Cellcom’s revenues.

Moreover, in August 2013 the Communications Law was amended to authorize the Minister of Communications to set interconnection prices and regulate the use of networks owned by another operator based not only on the cost incurred to establish the network (according to the calculation method to be determined by the Minister of Communication) plus a reasonable profit, but also on one of the following: (1) flat payment for a service provided by the license holder; (2) reference to tariffs charged for a comparable service; or (3) reference to the cost of these services or with the interconnection costs charged in other countries. The Minister of Communications was also empowered to give instructions on structural separation for the providing various services, including segregating services provided by a license holder from services provided to a subscriber.

In the last few years, contract termination charges for cellular plans have been banned in the cellular and other communications markets, other than for customers who have more than a certain number of cellular lines or whose monthly payments exceed a certain amount for bundled service. The elimination of these charges led to a considerable increase in plan cancellations, increased the costs of retaining and acquiring customers, and accelerated erosion of rates.

Virtual Operators (MVNO). The Communications Law and related pronouncements regulate the activities of virtual operators. Notwithstanding that the MVNO regulations apply only to the activities of a virtual operator which has an operating agreement with a cellular operator, the regulations empower the Ministry of Communications together with the Economic Ministry to impose terms of an agreement including fixing the price to be charged for the services provided.

Other Third Generation Operators (UMTS). In 2012, Golan and Hot Mobile began to offer UMTS services. The conditions of the tender according to which Golan and Hot Mobile were granted those licenses included a number of benefits and concessions, including minimally low license fees and a mechanism to reduce the royalties they undertook to pay for the frequencies based on the operator’s market share in the private sector and setting long timetables to meet the geographical coverage requirements of the network and the right to use in-country migration services via other cellular operators’ networks. The Communications Law obliges the other cellular operators to provide in-country migration services to Golan and Hot Mobile for a period ranging from seven to ten years subject to certain conditions. In 2011, Cellcom entered into a contract with Golan to provide in-country migration services. Hot Mobile entered into a similar in-country migration agreement with Pelephone and later with Partner (which was subsequently replaced by a joint networks agreement with Partner) without intervention from the Ministry of Communications.

Regulation of Multi-Channel Television Services

As at the date of this Annual Report, television program streaming via the Internet is not subject to regulation in Israel. Should the recommendations of the committee for the examination of the arrangement of commercial broadcasts be adopted and the committee requires Cellcom to make additional investments or regulation is imposed that is not beneficial for Cellcom’s streaming services or for its ability to use the DTT infrastructures, the results of Cellcom’s streaming services may be adversely affected.

Cellcom’s Communications Licenses

Cellcom holds a general license for providing cellular services, valid until January 31, 2022, setting out conditions (including duties and restrictions) applicable to its activities, officers and shareholders holding certain percentages of Cellcom’s shares. The license may be extended by the Ministry of Communications for consecutive periods of six years, if Cellcom is in compliance with the provisions of the license and law, and makes requisite investments to its service and network. The Ministry of Communications has amended the license conditions in the past, and may amend them in the future, without Cellcom’s consent and in a manner that may limit its ability to conduct business. The license provides that Cellcom does not have exclusivity for providing services.

The cellular license can be revoked, suspended or limited in the following cases: total holdings of the founding shareholders or their successors (as defined in the license) is less than 26% of the control shares of Cellcom; total holdings of Israeli parties (as defined in the license), who are among the founding shareholders or their successors, is less than 20% of the total issued share capital and control shares of Cellcom; a majority of directors are not Israeli citizens or residents of Israel; fewer than 20% of the directors of Cellcom were appointed by Israeli parties; an act or omission of Cellcom that adversely affects or restricts competition in the cellular sector; the aggregate equity of Cellcom, together with the aggregate equity of shareholders each holding 10% or more of the share capital, is less than US$ 200 million.

In light of the 2015 change in the control structure of IDBD, the Cellcom control structure has also changed, and requires the approval of the Ministry of Communications, including with regard to Israeli holding requirements included in the licenses of Cellcom, as Mr. Eduardo Elsztain is not a citizen of Israel. IDBD and Cellcom formally applied to the Ministry of Communications to approve these changes and amend the telecommunications licenses of Cellcom accordingly. If the request is not approved and another arrangement is not offered by the Ministry of Communications, Cellcom may face sanctions, which under the terms of its license, can include suspension or cancellation of its licenses.

According to Telecommunications Law, the Ministry of Communications may impose on telecommunication companies, including Cellcom, financial sanctions for breach of license and law. The amount of the sanction is calculated as a percentage of the revenue of the operator, and according to the degree of severity and extent of the breach, said may be significant.

In July 2015, Cellcom received (through a wholly owned entity) a uniform and general license for the provision of landline telephony services (which replaced the previous license for providing this service), for the period ending April 2026. A uniform and general license was also awarded to Netvision and replaced its general license for providing internet access services, international carriers, and a network access point for the period ending February 2022. In addition, an entity, fully controlled by Cellcom received a uniform and general license which replaced the landline telephony service license, for the period ending March 2026. These licenses can be extended for an additional period of 10 years, under terms similar to the terms of extension of the general cellular license.

The Ministry of Communications has issued rules providing for unification of all uniform licenses. The uniform license allows providers to also offer virtual operator services. The process of unifying the uniform licenses and the timetable have not yet been determined and it is possible that this process will have a legal, financial, tax and accounting effect on Cellcom’s and Netvision’s businesses. The provision of a number of services by one entity will require limitations also on discrimination between operators.

Cellcom holds other communications licenses: a special license for the provision of data transmission and communication services in Israel, a license to provide internet services, and licenses to provide cellular services, landline telecommunication services and internet services in the West Bank, for periods ending 2016-2018. These licenses include conditions similar to those of the general license for the provision of cellular services, as noted above.

According to regulations that apply to the uniform license, there are certain limitations on cross ownership among license holders.

2. Further Regulation Applicable to Communications Services

In July 2014, the Ministry of Communications announced a public hearing on the coverage and quality requirements for second-generation and third generation networks. The proposed requirements are stricter than those currently existing and if adopted, could have an adverse effect on the results of Cellcom. Cellcom is unable to assess whether the proposed changes will be adopted, and what the impact of these changes will have in practice on Cellcom’s operating results.

In addition, in August 2014, the Ministry of Communications announced a public hearing to consider call centers owned by communications operators. In addition, the Ministry of Communications proposed to amend the Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 1982, providing that a customer may claim pre-set financial compensation if the telephone call center does not reply within an average response time or if there is an overcharge error. Cellcom believes that adoption of these proposed changes could have a material adverse effect on Cellcom’s business.

3. Permits for Setting Up Base Sites

a. Cellcom’s cellular services generlly are provided through base sites across Israel, their construction and licensing are included in TAMA 36 (District Zoning Plan) – Part A - National Master Plan for Communications - Small and Micro Broadcasting Facilities (“TAMA 36”), and Radiation Law. Regulating the deployment of wireless access devices, which are base sites with smaller dimensions, are, for the most part, regulated by Communications Law and Radiation Law. The construction of base sites requires a permit as per Planning and Building Law, 1965 (“Planning and Building Law”), and is subject to other approvals from multiple regulators.

Legal proceedings (civil, criminal and administrative) are pending against Cellcom, under which a number of arguments were raised concerning the legal compliance of some of Cellcom’s sites, alleging failure to obtain permits under Planning and Building Law, or based on development of sites in contravention of a permit.

Cellcom did not apply for a building permit for approximately 33% of its base sites on the basis of the exemptions for wireless access facilities provided by law. In 2010, the Supreme Court issued a Temporary Order at the request of the Government’s Attorney General, enjoining Cellcom, Partner, and Pelephone from proceeding with construction of these facilities on the basis of the exemption. A final determination of the regulatory authorities regarding applications for exemptions is pending as of the date of this Annual Report.

100

In addition, Cellcom provides in-building repeaters and micro-sites (“femtocells”) for its subscribers seeking a solution to poor indoor reception. Based on an opinion Cellcom received from legal counsel, Cellcom did not request building permits for the repeaters that were installed on roof tops, which are a small fraction of all repeaters installed. It is not clear whether the installation of a different type of in-building repeaters and micro-sites requires a building permit. Some require a specific permit while others require a permit from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, depending on their radiation levels. Cellcom also builds and operates microwave facilities as part of its transmission network. The different types of microwave facilities receive permits from the Ministry of Environmental Protection regarding their radiation levels. Based on an opinion of legal counsel, Cellcom believes that building permits are not required for the installation of microwave facilities on rooftops.

b. Indemnification obligation - under Planning and Construction Law, local planning and building committees may demand and receive, as a condition for granting a building permit for a site, a letter of indemnity for claims under Section 197 of Planning and Construction Law. By December 31, 2015, Cellcom had executed approximately 400 letters of indemnity as a condition for receiving permits. In some cases, Cellcom has not yet been built any sites. As at December 31, 2015, two requests for indemnification were received from one local committee on the basis of a letter of indemnity as noted, in an immaterial amount.

As a result of the requirement to deposit letters of indemnity, Cellcom may decide to dismantle or move some sites to less advantageous locations, or build certain sites, if it concludes that the risk of granting letters of indemnity exceeds the benefit derived from those sites, which may result in a deterioration of cellular services and damage network coverage.

c. Radiation Law, Regulations and Permits Thereunder - Radiation Law, Regulations and Principles thereunder included provisions relating to all aspects related to regulating the issue of non-ionizing radiation, including, inter alia, levels of exposure that are permissible.

In May 2012, the Ministries of Communications, Health and Environmental Protection, based on their assessment of the potential health consequences of fourth-generation telecommunications services in Israel, including increased exposure to non-ionizing radiation, issued a memorandum advising that deployment of the fourth-generation network should be based on existing base stations, other smaller base sites both internal and external, and if possible, using the wired infrastructure so that data traffic will be carried mainly through fixed communication lines and not through any cellular infrastructure. In August 2014, the Ministry of Communications allowed the use of fourth-generation infrastructures, and in January 2015 fourth-generation frequencies were awarded to cellular operators. The recommendations of May 2012, as noted, were not included in the tender documents or in said approval.

The Reduced Centralization Act

Given the holding structure of the IDBD Group, Cellcom is considered in the “third layer”. Cellcom is included in the list of centralized parties, and in the list of significant non-financial corporations under said Law. According to said Law, DIC and IDBD must take steps to have Cellcom cease to be a “third layer” by December 2019. DIC and IDBD have announced that they are considering steps to achieve this goal without giving up control of Cellcom, by taking DIC or IDBD private (in the sense that it will no longer have securities listed for trade and thus will no longerbe a "reporting corpopration") or implementing a merger of DIC and IDBD. As of the date of this Annual Report, there is no certainty regarding the implementation of these strategies. The provisions of the Reduced Centralization Act regarding the allocation of rights over public assets could adversely affect the ability of Cellcom to renew its cellular licenses and to receive new frequencies, which may adversely affect Cellcom’s ability to issue debt or adversely affect its business.

a. Changes in legislation and high regulatory intervention - legislative changes and active regulatory enforcement may have an adverse influence especially if material financial sanctions are imposed on Cellcom, on the ability of Cellcom to plan its management and on its operating results, if any of the following occurs: the cancelation or relief for the obligation for structural separation applicable to Bezeq and Hot, especially if the said cancelation or easing is given prior to the establishment of the effective wholesale market in landline communications, if tariffs do not encourage competition or if other regulation is set out in the wholesale landline market which adversely affects Cellcom’s operations; the granting of relief and benefits to competitors compared with Cellcom; the authorization of other operators to provide services to Cellcom subscribers which were previously provided only by Cellcom; the non-renewal of licenses and/or frequencies available to Cellcom or the increased use thereof, and the non-location of additional frequencies, where required; the imposition of additional requirements in respect of public safety or health, including with respect to base sites; imposition of additional restrictions or requirements for providing services and products and/or intervening in market conditions; imposition of a higher standard of service; imposition of stricter privacy policies; the imposition of regulation on streaming services, the imposition of conditions which are not beneficial for the users of DTT broadcasts, or the imposition of conditions that impact Cellcom and do not apply to other operators of streaming services over the internet.

101

b. Labor Law. In February 2015, a collective bargaining agreement was signed with the workers representative body and with the Histadrut for a period of three years (form 2015 to 2017) which applies to all employees of Cellcom and Netvision, except members of senior management. This agreements limits the right of Cellcom to make organizational and personal changes and makes such changes more expensive as reflected in the voluntary retirement plans executed in 2014 and 2015 and may also require greater management attention to administer.

Insurance

Areas of Activity of Clal Insurance Business Holdings

Clal Holdings offers general insurance such as car insurance, homeowners’ insurance, and credit and foreign trade risk insurance, among others, as well as health insurance. The activities of Clal Holdings and its subsidiaries are subject to the provisions of laws applicable insurance companies and to regulatory supervision. Clal Holdings’ subsidiaries are supervised by the Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings Commissioner (the “Insurance Commissioner”). Clal Insurance and its subsidiary, Clalbit Financing, are supervised by the Israel Securities Authority. Subsidiaries of the Clal Holdings Insurance Group have been subject to administrative enforcement proceedings and the imposition of fines. Clal Insurance is not in breach of any material regulatory provision applicable to its operations.

Capital Requirements of Insurance Companies

Minimum Capital – The Supervision of Financial Services (Insurance) (Minimum Equity Required of an Insurer), Regulations, 1998 (“Capital Regulations”) law prescribes minimum capital requirements for insurance companies. The capital required for insurance activities consists of a first layer of capital, based the greater of the initial capital and capital derived from the volume of activity in general insurance, the higher of the calculation based on premiums and the calculation based on outstanding claims, as well as other capital requirements. Failure to comply with the Capital Regulations will require the insurer to increase its equity up to the amount stated in the Capital Regulations or reduce the scope of its business accordingly, no later than the date of publication of the report, except in exceptional circumstances as approved by the Insurance Commissioner, that will then determine any supplementary capital requirements.

Breakdown of an Insurer’s Capital – The Insurance Commissioner issued a circular in August 2011 (“Circular”) that provides a framework for determining the composition of an insurer’s equity, in conjunction with the adoption in Israel of the Solvency II Directive (“Directive” or “Solvency II”), as amended and updated.

· Initial (core) capital (basic tier 1), equals the components included in capital attributable to shareholders of Clal Insurance. The overall capital ratio must be at least 60% of the total equity of the insurer.

· Secondary (tier 2) capital includes complex secondary capital instruments (excluding periodic accrued interest payments), subordinate secondary capital instruments (as defined by the Circular) and any other component or instrument approved by the Insurance Commissioner. A complex secondary capital instruments is one that is subordinated to any other instrument, except for initial capital, including financial instruments available to absorb losses by postponing payment of principal and interest. The first repayment date of secondary capital instruments will be after the end of the period that reflects the weighted average maturity of insurance liabilities, plus two years, or after 20 years, whichever is first, but no earlier than eight years from the date an instrument is issued. If the complex secondary capital instrument includes an incentive for early redemption, the first incentive payment date may not be earlier than five years from the date of issue of the instrument.

· Tertiary (tier 3) capital includes complex tertiary capital instruments (excluding periodic accrued interest payments) and any other component or instrument approved by the Insurance Commissioner. A tertiary capital instrument is subordinate to any other instrument, except for primary and secondary capital, and includes financial instruments available to absorb the insurer’s losses by postponing the payment of principal. Tertiary capital will must be junior to secondary capital and equal in the order of credit repayments. The first repayment date on tertiary capital instruments may not be earlier than five years from the date of issuance. If the complex tertiary capital instrument includes an incentive for early redemption, the first indentive payment date may not be earlier than five years from the date of issue of the instrument. Tertiary capital may not exceed 15% of the total capital of the insurer.

102

Insurance liabilities include liabilities that are not yield dependent but excludes any liability fully backed by lifetime indexed bonds and net of any reinsurance costs. Approval of the Insurance Commissioner is required for inclusion of hybrid capital instruments (primary, secondary or tertiary) in equity. The Circular includes a Temporary Order regarding the breakdown of an insurer’s equity (“Temporary Order”), which will apply until full implementation of the Directive in Israel, when announced by the Insurance Commissioner. The Temporary Order defines the secondary capital issued according to Capital Regulations, before amendment, as subordinate secondary capital and imposes a limit equal to 50% of basic capital.

Distribution of dividends – In accordance with rules promulgated by the Insurance Commissioner, a dividend distribution may not be approved, unless, after giving pro forma effect to the proposed distribution, the insurer has a ratio of recognized equity to required equity of at least 105%, as confirmed in filings with the Insurance Commissioner. Prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner is not required for any distribution of dividends if the total equity of the insurance company, as defined by Supervision of Financial Services (Insurance) (Minimum Equity Required of an Insurer), Regulations, 1998 (“Minimum Capital Regulations”), after giving effect to the distribution of the proposed dividend, exceeds 115% of the required equity.

In November 2014, the Insurance Commissioner outlined solvency rules (“rules” or “regime”, as applicable) based on Solvency II, in Israel, in a letter addressed to managers of the insurance companies (“Letter”). In the Letter, the Insurance Commissioner outlined a plan to adopt the 2016 European model for calculating capital and capital requirements for the local market, effective as of the annual reports for 2016 (“First Adoption Date”). During a period to be determined by the Insurance Commissioner and as conditions require, insurance companies will also be required to comply with capital requirements under existing regulations. The Letter stated that until final adoption, insurance companies must prepare additional quantitative assessment exercises (IQIS) for the 2014-2015 period. These requirements are intended to assess the quantitative effects of adopting the model, as well as providing data for calibrating and adjusting the model. In addition, the Letter addressed an initiative to develop a framework for quarterly reporting of insurance companies’ solvency ratio. The Letter also referred to the Commissioner’s intention to publish provisions for managing capital and targets for internal capital, to address a gap survey that insurers will undertake with respect to their risk management systems, controls and corporate governance and a consultation paper to promote the process of self-assessment of risks and solvency (ORSA).

In April 2015, the Insurance Commissioner published a second letter titled “Plan for the Adoption of Rules for Solvency, based on Solvency II” and provisions for the IQIS4 exercises to be undertaken regarding the 2014 historical financial statements. The letter emphasized that the exercise reflects the decision of the Insurance Commissioner to impose adjustments required for the Israeli insurance market. The Letter further stated in connection with the proposed adoption of IQIS5 that the Insurance Commissioner would continue to monitor developments in the European markets and would consider adjustments relevant for Israel.

In July 2015, the Insurance Commissioner issued a letter concerning “transitional provisions regarding the application of solvency rules, based on Solvency II” (the “Letter on Transitional Provisions”). The transitional provisions were provided by reference to certain solvency rules set forth in the European Directive relating to, inter alia, a gradual adoption of capital requirements in respect of holdings of equity shares which may a component to be included in the calculation of core capital. In addition, the letter included transitional provisions regarding submission of a plan to improve the capital ratios of insurance companies whose ratios are negatively affected following adoption of the new solvency rules beginning with the financial statements for 2018. Adoption of the solvency rules are expected to change both the recognized regulatory and required regulatory capital and according to indications existing today, is expected to result in a significant decline in the ratio between recognized capital and required capital of Clal Insurance compared to capital ratios calculated according to capital ratio requirements currently in effect, and is expected to adversely affect the ability of Clal Insurance and Clal Insurance Enterprises to distribute dividends upon such adoption. However, as a rule, the capital requirements under the solvency rule are intended to serve as a capital cushion against more serious events, with a lower loss probability than the capital requirements under current rules.

In May 2015, the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance Enterprises and the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance directed its management team and the Risk Management Committee, which also functions as the Solvency Committee (“Committee”), to examine measures Clal Insurance may be able to employ to improve its capital ratio, in accordance with the new solvency rules and to recommend a course of action to the Board, including in relation to business adjustments and/or financial transactions related to Clal Insurance’s capital, its breakdown, and/or its responsibilities. The Committee and Management have begun this examination, and during the first stage, recommended that the Board issue secondary capital instruments. The Committee will continue to examine other measures in an effort to prepare the company for possible adoption of these proposed capital requirements, and related measures.

103

Clal Insurance has calculated its capital ratio using results as of December 31, 2014 (“Calculation Date”) and based on the IQIS4 rules and has determined that it would be in compliance, as of the Calculation Date, with the proposed capital requirements, in the context of the transitional provisions, even before taking pro forma account of the positive impact on the capital ratio provided by the subsequent issuance of subordinated notes. The related calculations were submitted to the Insurance Commissioner on August 31, 2015. The Insurance Commissioner has not yet published binding provisions for adoption, and there is uncertainty regarding the details of the final provisions. Clal Insurance will continue to monitor the quantitative aspects of the proposed solvency rules towards final adoption, in an effort to anticipate requisite controls and capital requirements.

On March 14, 2016, “IQIS Provisions for 2015” (“Draft”) was published in preparation for the adoption of Solvency II. Insurance companies are required to submit an additional quantitative evaluation survey on the basis of December 2015 results (“IQIS5”), by June 30, 2016. The Draft was issued by reference to the European legislation adapted for requirements of the local market and that goes beyond provisions for quantitative evaluation surveys previously issued. The main changes relate to establishing risk-free interest curves, through extrapolation to the ultimate forward rate point, the components of recognized capital, capital requirements less investments in infrastructure (capital and debt), adjusting capital requirements for management companies, and updating the formula for calculating capital requirements for risk premiums and reserves for general insurance. Clal Insurance is unable to assess the overall impact of the changes based on the provisions in the Draft to carry out a further quantitative evaluation survey, and will carry out an assessment of the current capital status, when the binding provisions will be finalized. According to the Draft, the IQIS5 calculation will be a factor in assessing preparedness of insurance companies and to the implementation and scope of the final provisions to be adopted.

Capital requirements under the Capital Regulations are based on the separate individual financial statements of an insurance company. For purposes of calculating recognized capital, an investment by an insurance company in an insurance company or a controlled management company, and in other investee companies will be calculated on the equity basis, according to a holding rate, which includes indirect holdings.

The minimum capital required of Clal Insurance has been reduced, with approval of the Insurance Commissioner, by 35% of the original difference attributed to the managing companies and provident funds under its control. However, when calculating the amount of dividends permitted for distribution, this difference will be added at level of the capital structure, as detailed in Paragraph 13.7.3 (C). In September 2013, the Insurance Commissioner notified Clal Insurance that the deducted amount to be added back to the minimum capital required, will be after a deduction for a tax reserve accrued by Clal Insurance following the acquisition of provident fund operations. The approval of the Insurance Commissioner, as noted above, will be canceled with adoption of capital requirements under the Directive (see Paragraph 13.7.3 (C)) that will replace the Capital Regulations.

In March 2013, Clal Insurance received a letter from the Insurance Commissioner regarding the determination of credit ratings according to an internal model used by Clal Insurance (“internal model”), to be applied as a risk rating methodology for a subject insured, according to conditions of the relevant sector. The Insurance Commissioner authorized Clal Insurance to allocate capital for adjusted loans, ranked according to its internal model and with reference to the rates specified in the Capital Regulations. If there is an external rating available, the capital allocation will be made using the lower of the available ratings. The letter also requires Clal Insurance to submit immediate and periodic reports as specified regarding these activities that make the specified transactions subject to review by the Commissioner of Insurance. As a result of its compliance with the provisions of the letter, Clal Insurance’s capital requirements were reduced by NIS 69 million, as at the end of the reporting period.

Permit Issued by the Insurance Commissioner to the Former Controlling Shareholders of IDB Holdings to Retain Control of Clal Insurance Enterprises and Consolidated Institutional Entities

On May 8, 2014, legal counsel for the former controlling shareholders of IDB Development (Ganden, Manor, and Livnat Groups) was notified by the Commissioner that in the context of arrangements among the creditors of IDB Holdings (“IDBH”), and given that they no longer controlled the Clal Insurance Enterprises Group, the authorization previously issued by the Insurance Commissioner for control of these entities was terminated, including, with respect to Clal Insurance, Clal Credit Insurance and Clal Pension and Provident Funds. IDB Holdings undertook to supplement (or to cause its controlled affiliates to supplement) the required equity of the insurers in compliance with the Capital Regulations, subject to the a cap of 50% of the required capital of an insurer, and that the obligation will take effect only if the insurer’s equity is determined to be negative, and such funding amount will then be equal to the amount of negative capital, up to the 50% cap.

In addition, IDB Holdings undertook to contribute to the equity of Clal Pension and Provident Funds up to the amount prescribed by the Provident Fund Regulations, for as long as IDB Holdings is the controlling shareholder of the institutional entities. The authorization specifies conditions and imposes restrictions on the ability of a holding entity to impose liens on the equity of IDBD’s institutional entities it holds. The former controlling shareholders were also required, as long as any liens existed on their equity interest of IDB Holdings, to ensure that Clal Insurance Enterprises complied with applicable capital requirements, such that the equity of Clal Insurance Enterprises at no time was less than the product of the holding rate of Clal Insurance Enterprises in Clal Insurance and 140% of the required minimum equity of Clal Insurance, calculated according to the Capital Regulations on September 30, 2005 (as the holding rate was linked to the CPI of September 2005).

At the end of the reporting period, the required minimum capital of Clal Insurance Enterprises was NIS 2.9 billion, greater that the amount required based on the foregoing calculation. The capital requirement is calculated on the basis of the financial statements of Clal Insurance Enterprises. Following termination of the control authorization, the former controlling shareholders have questioned whether the capital requirements applicable to Clal Insurance Enterprises thereunder continue to apply.

Clal Insurance is committed to finding a strategy to supplement its required equity in compliance with the Capital Regulations if the equity of Clal Credit Insurance becomes negative, and as long as Clal Insurance is the controlling shareholder of Clal Credit Insurance. Clal Insurance is committed to supplement the equity of Clal Pension and Provident Funds as necessary to ensure it complies with the minimum amount required by Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Approval and Management of Provident Funds), 1964 (“Income Tax Regulations”). This commitment is valid as long as Clal Insurance controls, directly or indirectly, Clal Pension and Provident Funds.

In February 2012, Supervision of Financial Services Regulations (Provident Funds) (Minimum Capital Required of a Management Company of a Provident Fund or Pension Fund), 2012, was published along with Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Approval and Management of Provident Funds) (Amendment 2), 2012 (“new regulations”).

Pursuant to the new regulations, the capital requirements for management companies were expanded to include capital requirements based on the volume of assets under management and applicable annual expenses, but not less than the initial capital of NIS 10 million. In addition, liquidity requirements were also prescribed. A fund management company may distribute dividends only to the extent of any excess above the minimum amount of equity required by said regulations. In addition, a fund management company must provide additional capital in respect of controlled management companies. As at the end of the reporting period, the management companies controlled by Clal Insurance have capital balances in excess of the minimum capital required by the capital regulations for management companies. In light of capital regulations for management companies and in order to finance the expansion of operating and investing activities of Clal Pension and Provident Funds, the Boards of Directors of Clal Insurance and Clal Pension and Provident Funds in 2015 and 2014 approved an subscribed shares of Clal Pension and Provident Funds in consideration for NIS 100 million and NIS 80 million, respectively.

Anti-Money Laundering. In September 2015, a draft Anti-Money Laundering Order was proposed which seeks to expand its application to certain provident funds, and reduced the amounts of accumulations, deposits and withdrawals subject to reporting. Furthermore, the draft order specifies a ‘know your customer’ process that must be undertaken before issuing a life insurance policy or opening a provident fund. In October 2015, a draft addendum to the Anti-Money Laundering Law, 5776-2015 was published to provide for changes to existing law that set forth stricter criminal penalties under the Anti-Money Laundering Law and set forth provisions for sharing of information between the Anti-Money Laundering Authority and the insurance commissioner. In the evaluation of Clal Insurance, the draft order and draft bill may adversely affect the sale of its products.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS.

The following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements include such words as, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including without limitation those set forth elsewhere in this annual report. See Item 3 “Key Information – D. Risk Factors” for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to us.

For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, unless otherwise specified, references to fiscal years 2016 and 2015 relate to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

A. OPERATING RESULTS

Evolution of our Business Segments

Operations Center in Argentina

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 seek to take advantage of unsatisfied demand for retail offerings and residential properties in urban centers throughout Argentina, catering to our customers’ tastes and requirements. Therefore, we seek to develop new shopping centers that offer attractive prospects for growth, including the Buenos Aires Metropolitan area and other cities throughout Argentina and selectively in, other places abroad. To achieve this strategy, relationships with more than 1,000 retailers and brands that make up our select tenant portfolio that helps enhance our customer experience.

During fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Shopping Centers segment generated revenues of Ps.1,383 million, Ps.1,778 million and Ps.2,406 million, respectively.

Offices and Others

We seek to purchase and develop premium office buildings in strategically-located business districts in Buenos Aires and other strategic locations that we believe enhance returns and maximize potential for long-term capital gain. We expect to continue focusing on attracting premium corporate tenants to our office buildings. Furthermore, we intend to consider new opportunities on a selective basis to acquire or develop rental office buildings.

During fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Offices and Others segment had revenues of Ps.271 million, Ps.333 million and Ps.340 million, respectively.

Sales and Developments

We seek to purchase undeveloped properties in densely-populated areas and build apartment complexes that offer green spaces for recreational activities. We also seek to develop residential communities by acquiring properties that offer convenient access to Buenos Aires. We develop roads and other basic infrastructure such as electric power and water, and then sell individual lots for residential construction by individual owners. The historical scarcity of mortgage financing restricted growth in middle class home purchases, and as a result, we have focused on developing residential communities for middle and high-income individuals, who do not need to finance their home purchases. Furthermore, we seek to continue to acquire undeveloped plots that are conveniently located inside and outside Buenos Aires for subsequent sale. We believe this land portfolio enhances our ability to make strategic long-term investments and affords us a valuable pipeline for future development.

During fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Sales and Developments segment generated revenues of Ps.85 million, Ps.15.4 million and Ps.8 million, respectively, and recognized net gains from the sale of investment properties (primarily offices and parking spaces) for Ps.236 million, Ps.1,163 million and Ps.1,068 million, respectively.

110

Hotels

During fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Hotels segment had revenues of Ps.332 million, Ps.396 million and Ps.534 million, respectively.

International

In this segment, we seek investments that present capital appreciation potential in the long term. After the international financial crisis in 2008, we took the opportunity in the real estate sector in the United States to invest in two office buildings in New York City. In 2015, we sold the Madison building. We retained our 49.9% equity interest in a US entity that owns the “Lipstick” office building located in the City of New York. In addition, jointly with subsidiaries, we hold 49.0% of Condor Hospitality Trust REIT’s voting rights (NASDAQ: CDOR). We intend to continue evaluating -on a selective basis- investment opportunities outside Argentina as long as they offer attractive investment and development options.

During fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016, our International segment generated revenues of Ps.84 million, Ps.26 million and Ps.0 million, respectively.

Financial Operations and Others

We have maintained our investment in Banco Hipotecario, the principal mortgage-lending bank in Argentina, as we believe that we are able to reach good synergies in the long term with a developed mortgage market. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014, 2015 and 2016, our investment in Banco Hipotecario generated a gain of Ps.184 million, Ps.143 million and Ps.257 million, respectively.

Operations Center in Israel

Real Estate

IDBD holds, together with PBC, two projects in Las Vegas (through IDBG Ltd.), including a commercial and office project known as Tivoli Mall, the first part of which was built in its entirety, and as of the end of 2015, has a blended occupancy rate of approximately 84%. The second part of the project is currently under construction and is in the marketing stage. It will include commercial areas with an area of approximately 16,000 square meters, and office space consisting of approximately 12,000 square meters. At present, we have signed leases with an anchor tenant and additional lessees, covering approximately 66% of the commercial area in the second phase of the project and for approximately 8% of available office space; and an additional project, involving two residential towers, in which the remainder of the residential units were sold in their entirety during the reporting year.

Supermarkets

Shufersal continued deploying its strategic plan, focusing on building a commercial and operating platform to enable growth in the coming years; strengthening its competitive edge; offering more value to customers and improving its service. Under its business plan, Shufersal continues expanding and strengthening its brand; boosting the development of its digital platforms, through Shufersal Online; fostering complementary services in the sectors in which it currently operates; and streamlining its real property, including the closure and downsizing of existing branches and the opening of new ones.

Agrochemicals

As a part of Adama’s long-term strategy, in December 2015 Adama entered into a commercial cooperation agreement, according to which Adama will gradually become the sole distributor of formulated agrochemical products in China of several agrochemical companies controlled by ChemChina. This venture is expected to strengthen Adama’s position in the Chinese market, by combining Adama’s product offerings with ChemChina’s and leveraging a significant distribution platform in China. On July 17, 2016, DIC, reported that it had accepted ChemChina’s offer to purchase 40% of Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd.’s shares, indirectly controlled by IDBD through DIC. For more information see “Recent Developments”.

Telecommunications

Cellcom operates in a highly competitive environment. Cellcom’s business strategy focuses on: offering comprehensive solutions to expand landline and mobile communication services and optimization of costs and expenses, including by means of carrying out streamlining measures.

111

Insurance

The investment managers in IDBD’s insurance business make use of an advanced research department and effective trading execution, to ensure a competitive advantage in order to achieve a fair long-term yield for policy holders, maximizing income from investments in accordance with the company’s risk appetite and the structure of liabilities in the portfolios.

Others

Other activities undertaken by IDBD through its subsidiaries include the assets and income from technological developments, tourism, oil and gas assets, electronics, and other activities.

Variability of Results

Income derived from the lease of office space and retail stores and sales of properties are the two core sources of our income. The historical results of our operations have varied over time based on the available opportunities to acquire and sell properties. No assurance can be given that our results will not continue to be influenced by fluctuations in values of properties.

For additional information, see “Comparability of information”.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are stated in Note 2 to our Audited Consolidates Financial Statements, “Summary of significant accounting policies”. The discussion below should be read in conjunction with the referred note. Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The following is intended to provide an understanding of the policies that management considers critical because of the level of complexity, judgment or estimations involved in their application and their impact on our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimation	Main assumptions	Potential implications
Business combination - Allocation of acquisition prices	Assumptions regarding timing, amount of future revenues and expenses, revenue growth, expected rate of return, economic conditions, discount rate, among other.	Should the assumptions made be inaccurate, the recognized combination may not be correct.
Recoverable amounts of cash-generating units (even those including goodwill), associates and assets.	The discount rate and the expected growth rate before taxes in connection with cash-generating units. The discount rate and the expected growth rate after taxes in connection with associates. Cash flows are determined based on past experiences with the asset or with similar assets and in accordance with the Group’s best factual assumption relative to the economic conditions expected to prevail. Business continuity and share market value of the public companies in connection with cash-generating units. Appraisals made by external appraisers and valuators with relation to the assets’ fair value, net of realization costs (including real estate assets).	Should any of the assumptions made be inaccurate, this could lead to differences in the recoverable values of cash-generating units.
Control, joint control or significant influence	Judgment relative to the determination that the Group holds an interest in the shares of investees (considering the existence and influence of significant potential voting rights), its right to designate members in the executive management of such companies (usually the Board of directors) based on the investees’ bylaws; the composition and the rights of other shareholders of such investees and their capacity to establish operating and financial policies for investees or to take part in the establishment thereof.	Accounting treatment of investments as subsidiaries (consolidation) or associates (equity method)
Estimated useful life of intangible assets, investment properties and property, plant and equipment	Estimated useful life of assets based on their conditions.	Recognition of accelerated or decelerated depreciation by comparison against final actual earnings (losses).
Fair value valuation of investment properties	Fair value valuation made by external appraisers and valuators.	Incorrect exposure of investment property values
Income tax	The Group estimates the income tax amount payable for transactions where the Treasury’s Claim cannot be clearly determined. Additionally, the Group evaluates the recoverability of assets due to deferred taxes considering whether some or all of the assets will not be recoverable.	Upon the improper determination of the provision for income tax, the Group will be bound to pay additional taxes, including fines and compensatory and punitive interest.
Allowance for doubtful accounts	A periodic review is conducted of receivables risks in the Group’s clients’ portfolios. Bad debts based on the expiration of account receivables and account receivables’ specific conditions.	Improper recognition of charges / reimbursements of the allowance for bad debt.
Hybrid financial instrument related to the non-recourse loan from Koor (Adama).	· The value of Adama’s shares. · Unobserved data underlying the binomial model applied to the determination of the embedded derivative instruments’ value.	Changes in losses or profits resulting from the variation in the fair value of the embedded derivative, and variations in the book amount of the primary contract recognized as revenues or expenses from financing.

112

Level 2 and 3 financial instruments	Main assumptions used by the Group are: · Discounted projected income by interest rate. · Values determined in accordance with the company’s shares in equity funds on the basis of its financial statements, based on fair value or investment assessments. · Comparable market multiple (EV/GMV ratio). · Underlying asset price (Market price); share price volatility (historical) and money market interest-rate curve (Libor rate).	Wrong recognition of a charge to income / (loss).
Probability estimate of contingent liabilities.	Whether more economic resources may be spent in relation to litigation against the Group; such estimate is based on legal advisors’ opinions.	Charge / reversal of provision in relation to a claim.

Effects of the Global Macroeconomic Environment

Most of our assets are located in Argentina, where we conduct our operations, and in Israel. Therefore, our financial condition and the results of our operations are significantly dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in both countries.

The table below shows Argentina’s GDP growth, inflation, Dollar exchange rates and the appreciation (depreciation) of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar for the indicated periods.

	As of June 30,
	2016	2015	2014
GDP growth	(3.4%)	1.2%	0.0%
Inflation (IPIM)(1)	26.7%	13.6%	27.7%
Inflation (CPI)(2)	47.1%	14.0%	15.0%
Appreciation (depreciation) of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar(3)	(65.9%)	(11.8%)	(50.6%)

IPIM is the wholesale price index as measured by the Argentine Ministry of Economy and Production. Given the modifications to the system that INDEC uses to measure IPIM, there is no data for any price variations from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. For that reason, we show accumulated prices from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016, published by INDEC.

(2)

CPI is the consumer price index as measured by the Argentine Ministry of Economy and Production. Since January 2014, the Argentine government established IPCNu, which more broadly reflects consumer prices by considering price information from the 23 Argentine provinces and the City of Buenos Aires. Therefore, the consumer price index for our fiscal 2014 only takes into account the six-month period after the new consumer price index was introduced. Given the modifications to the system that INDEC uses to measure CPI, there is no data for any price variations for the fiscal year ended at June 30, 2016, yet. For that reason, we show the interanual inflation published by “Dirección General de Estadísticas y Censos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Ministerio de Hacienda”. It differs from inflation reported for 2015 and 2014 because of the change of government and changes in the systems of measure of the INDEC. See Item 3.(a) Risk Factors —Risks Relating to Argentina - There are concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation statistics.

Depreciation corresponding to fiscal year 2016 is mostly due to the devaluation that took place on December 17, 2015.

According to the IMF estimates, Argentina’s GDP for 2016 is expected to contract by 1.8% compared to 2015 due to a slight adjustment recession during the year, primarily due to the correction of macroeconomic and microeconomic distortions. However, growth is expected to strengthen to 2.7% in 2017 on the back of moderating inflation and more supportive monetary and fiscal policy policies by the Central Bank. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Israel’s economic growth is projected to remain at 2.5% in 2016, before rising to 3% in 2017.

113

Argentine GDP decreased 3.4% during our fiscal 2016, compared to GDP growth of 1.2% in our fiscal 2015. Consumption was the primary driver of economic activity, as shopping center sales grew 41.4% as of June 30, 2016, compared to June 30, 2016, driven by the increase in nominal salaries. As of June 30, 2016, the unemployment rate was at 9.3% of the country’s economically active population, compared to 6.6% as of June 30, 2015. For the year ended at December 31, 2015, Israel’s growth reached 2.5% and remained at the same level for 2016.

Argentina’s country risk, measured by the Emerging Market Bond Index, decreased 97 basis points for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, maintaining a high spread vis-à-vis other countries in the region. The debt premium paid by Argentina was at 518 points in June 2016, compared to 352 paid by Brazil, and 213 paid by Mexico.

In regard to the Argentine economy, changes in short and long-term interest rates, unemployment and inflation may reduce the availability of consumer credit and the purchasing power of individuals who frequent shopping centers. These factors, combined with low GDP growth, may reduce general consumption rates in our shopping centers. Since leases agreements in our shopping centers for most of our revenue, require tenants to pay a percentage of their total sales as rent, a general reduction in consumption may reduce our revenue. A reduction in the number of shoppers in our shopping centers and consequently, in the demand for parking, may also reduce our revenues from services rendered.

Regarding Israel’s economy, and based on information published by OECD, domestic demand is expected to remain the main driver of growth, while external demand is projected to recover slowly due to the high exchange rates that hold back exports. In this context, unemployment is expected to remain low, and inflation is projected to increase at very low levels.

Effects of inflation

The following are annual inflation rates during our fiscal years indicated, based on information published by the INDEC, which is dependent on the Argentine Ministry of Economy and Production:

Year ended June 30,	Consumer Price Index(1)	Wholesale Price Index
2011	9.7%	12.5%
2012	9.9%	12.8%
2013	10.5%	13.5%
2014	15.0%	27.7%
2015	15.0%	13.4%
2016	47.1%	26.7%(2)

______________

(1)

In January 2014 the Argentine government established IPCNu, which more broadly reflects consumer prices by considering price information from the 23 provinces of Argentina and the City of Buenos Aires. Therefore, the consumer price index for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 only takes into account the six month period starting on January 1, 2014.

(2)

Given the modifications to the system that INDEC uses to measure IPIM, there is no data for any price variations from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. For that reason, we show accumulated prices from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016, published by INDEC.

Continuing inflation will likely have an adverse effect on our operations. Additionally, minimum lease payments from tenants in our shopping centers are generally adjusted in accordance with the CER, an inflation index published by the Central Bank. Although higher inflation may increase lease payments, given that tenants tend to pass on increased expenses to consumers, this trend could lead to higher prices charged on goods sold which could result in lower sales volumes and therefore reduce the component of rent we receive based on sales revenue.

Since the INDEC modified the methodology it uses to calculate the consumer price index in January 2007, there have been concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation statistics, which led to the creation of the IPCNu in February 2014 in order to address the quality of official data.

Regarding rates of inflation in Israel, the Consumer Price Index, according to OECD was 0.5% increase in the prices for 2014, and deflation of 0.6% in 2015. Likewise, inflation projected for 2016 and 2017 is (0.2)% and 0.8%, respectively.

Seasonality

Our shopping centers business is directly affected by seasonality, as if results in fluctuations in the level of our tenants’ sales. During Argentine summer holidays (January and February) our tenants’ sales are generally at their lowest level, whereas during winter holidays (July) and in December (Christmas) they reach their highest level. Clothing retailers generally change their collections in spring and autumn, positively affecting our shopping center sales. Sales at discount prices at the end of each season are also one of the main sources revenue.

114

Also, in the Israeli retail segment business results are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of the consumption behavior of the population proximate to the Pesach holidays (March and/or April) and Rosh Hashanah and Sukkoth holidays (September and/or October). This also affects the balance sheet values of inventory, customers and suppliers. Our revenues from cellular services are usually affected by seasonality, with the third calendar quarter of each year characterized by higher roaming revenues due to increased incoming and outgoing tourism.

In 2016, the Passover holiday fell at the end of April, compared to 2015 when it was at the beginning of April. The timing of the holiday affects Shufersal’s sales and special offers in the second quarter of 2016, compared to last year. The Passover holiday in the second quarter of 2016 had a greater effect on Shufersal’s results than in the corresponding quarter in 2015, therefore analysis of the results for the first half of the year compared to the corresponding period in 2015 better represents the changes between the periods.

Effects of interest rate fluctuations

Most of our U.S. dollar-denominated debt accrues interest at a fixed rate. An increase in interest rates will not necessary result in a significant increase in our financial costs and may not materially affect our financial condition or our results of operations.

Effects of foreign currency fluctuations

A significant portion of our financial debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, a depreciation or devaluation of the Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar would increase our indebtedness measured in Pesos and materially affect our results of operations. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations significantly increase the risk of default on our mortgages and lease receivables. Foreign currency exchange restrictions that may be imposed by the Argentine Government could prevent or restrict our access to U.S. dollars, affecting our ability to service our U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities.

During fiscal year 2016 and 2015 the Peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar and other currencies by approximately 66% and 12%, respectively, which caused an impact on the comparability of our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 to our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily in our revenues from office rentals and our net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. The devaluation affected assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, and this effect is shown in the line “financial results, net” of our income statement.

As a result of the devaluation of the Peso and the discontinuation of the official exchange rate by the newly elected Argentine government that took office in December 2015, the exchange rate was Ps.13.0400 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2015 and Ps.15.5100 per US$1.00 on September 30, 2016.

During fiscal year 2016 and 2015, the Israeli New Shekel depreciated against the U.S. dollar and other currencies by approximately 2.2% and 10%, respectively, which caused an impact on the comparability of our results of IDBD´s operations for the year ended June 30, 2016 to IDBD´s results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30 2016, the offer exchange rate for June 30, 2016 was NIS 3.8575=U.S.$1.00, and NIS 3.7464 per US$1.00 on September 30, 2016. According to information published in the Monetary Policy Report in July 2016 by the Bank of Israel, various models of the equilibrium exchange rate indicate that the Shekel could be overvalued. For more information about the exchange rates, see “Local Exchange Market and Exchange Rates.”

Factors Affecting Comparability of our Results

Business Segment Reporting

IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM. According to IFRS 8, the CODM represents a function whereby strategic decisions are made and resources are assigned. The CODM function is carried out by the President of the Company, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain. In addition, and due to the acquisition of IDBD, two responsibility levels have been established for resource allocation and assessment of results of the two operations centers, through executive committees in Argentina and Israel.

Following its acquisition of control of IDBD, the Company reports its financial and equity performance based on the new segment structure for the year-end 2016.

Segment information is now reported from two perspectives: geographic presence and products and services. From the geographic point of view, the Company has established two Operations Centers to manage its global interests: Argentina and Israel. Within each operations center, the Company considers separately the various activities being developed, which represent reporting operating segments given the nature of its products, services, operations and risks. Management believes the operating segment clustering in each operations center reflects similar economic characteristics in each region, as well as similar products and services offered, types of clients and regulatory environments.

115

Below is the segment information prepared as follows:

Operations center in Argentina

Within this center, the Company operates in the following segments:

The “Shopping Centers” segment includes the assets and operating results of the activity of shopping centers portfolio, principally comprised of lease and service revenues related to rental of commercial space and other spaces in the shopping centers of the Company.

The “Offices and others” segment includes the assets and operating results from lease revenues of offices and others rental space and other service revenues related to the office activities.

The “Sales and Developments” segment includes the assets and operating results of the sales of undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties, as the results related with its development and maintenance. Also included in this segment are the results of the sale of real property intended for rent, sales of hotels and other properties included in the international segment.

The “Hotels” segment includes the operating results of hotels mainly comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.

The “International” segment includes assets and operating profit or loss from business related to associates Condor and Lipstick. Through these associates, the Company derives revenue from hotels and an office building in United States, respectively. Until September 30, 2014, this segment included revenue from a subsidiary that owned the building located at 183 Madison Ave in New York, United States, which was sold on September 29, 2014. Additionally, until October 11, 2015, this international segment only included results from the investment in IDBD carried at fair value.

The “Financial operations and others” segment primarily includes the financial activities carried out by BHSA and Tarshop and other residual financial operations.

The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of operating segments of this operations center based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the equity in earnings of joint ventures and associates. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the following:

Operating results from joint ventures: Cyrsa, NPSF, Puerto Retiro, Baicom and Quality are evaluated by the CODM applying proportional consolidation method. Under this method the income/loss generated and assets, are reported in the income statement line-by-line based on the percentage held in joint ventures rather than in a single item as required by IFRS. Management believes that the proportional consolidation method provides more useful information to understand the business return. Moreover, operating results of EHSA joint venture is accounted for under the equity method. Management believes that, in this case, this method provides more adequate information for this type of investment, given its low materiality and considering it is a company without direct trade operations, where the main asset consists of an indirect interest of 25% of LRSA.

Operating results from the Shopping Centers and Offices segments do not include amounts attributable to building arrangement expenses and collective promotion funds (“FPC”, as per its Spanish acronym) as well as total recovered costs, whether by way of expenses or other concepts included under financial results (for example default interest and other concepts). The CODM examines the net amount from these items (total surplus or deficit between building administration expenses and FPC and recoverable expenses).

The asset categories examined by the CODM are: investment properties, property, plant and equipment, trading properties, inventories, right to receive future units under barter agreements, investment in associates and goodwill. The sum of these assets, classified by business segment, is reported under “assets by segment”. Assets are allocated to each segment based on the operations and/or their physical location.

Within the operations center in Argentina, most revenue from its operating segments is derived from, and their assets are located in, Argentina, except for earnings of associates included in the “International” segment located in United States.

Revenues for each reporting segments derive from a large and diverse client base and, therefore, there is no revenue concentration in any particular segment.

116

Operations center in Israel

Within this center, the Company operates in the following segments:

The “Real Estate” segment includes assets and operating income derived from business related to the subsidiary PBC. Through PBC, we operate rental properties and residential properties in Israel, United States and other parts of the world and carries out commercial projects in Las Vegas.

The “Supermarkets” segment includes assets and operating income derived from the business of Shufersal which operates a supermarket chain in Israel.

The “Agrochemicals” segment includes income derived from the activities of Adama which is accounted for as an associate using the equity method of accounting Adama is specialized in agrochemicals, particularly for the production of crops for consumption.

The “Telecommunications” segment includes assets and operating income from the business of Cellcom which is telecommunication service provider that offers mobile phone services, fixed line phone services, data and Internet, among others.

The “Insurance” segment includes the operations of Clal which is one of the most important insurance groups in Israel, and is mainly engaged in pension and social security insurance, among others. As indicated in Note 16 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, 51% of the controlling shares of Clal are held in trust as specified in a judicial order of the Israel Securities Commission in order to comply with the requirement that the controlling shares of Clal be offered for sale to a third party; as a result, the Company is not fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis but rather in a single line as a financial instrument at fair value, as required by IFRS.

The “Others” segment includes the assets and income derived from other diverse business activities, such as technological developments, tourism, oil and gas assets, electronics, and others.

As indicated under Note 2 of our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company decided to consolidate income derived from its operations center in Israel with a three month lag, as adjusted for the effects of significant transactions; hence, operating results of IDBD for the period extending from October 11, 2015 (the date of acquisition of control) through March 31, 2016, are included under comprehensive income of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Furthermore, comparative information has not been modified for as of that date the Company did not exercise control over IDBD. The assessment of this investment was part of the international segment of the operations center in Argentina.

Goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.

Business segments involving the operations center in Argentina where assets are reported under the proportional consolidation method, each reported asset includes the proportional share of the Company in the same class of assets of the associates and/or joint ventures. Only as an example, the amount of investment properties reported includes (i) the balance of investment properties as stated in the statement of financial position, plus (ii) the Company’s share in the balances of investment properties of joint ventures.

Within the operations center in Israel, most revenue from its operating segments are derived from, and their assets are located in, Israel, except for part of earnings from the Real Estate segment, which are generated from activities outside Israel, mainly in United States.

Share of profit/(loss) of joint ventures of Argentina’s Operating Center:

As stated in Note 2.3(e) to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and for the fiscal years then ended, share of profit/(loss) of joint ventures Cyrsa S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A., Baicom Networks S.A., Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A., Quality Invest S.A. and Entertainment Holding S.A., are presented by application of the equity method in the line “Shares of profit/(loss) of associates and joint ventures” in the consolidated statement of income.

However, as indicated in Note 6 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and for the years then ended, in the business segment reporting, the operating results of these joint ventures are presented by application of proportionate consolidation. This method presents the results of joint ventures in the income statement line by line. The operating results of joint ventures are allocated to each business segment based on the nature of the operations that give rise to them. In addition, reporting contemplates certain transactions between related parties that have been eliminated at the level of the income statement but are, nonetheless, representative of genuine revenues and/or costs of each segment. These transactions include, mainly, leases of spaces and management fees.

Comparability of information:

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company made an investment in IDBD, through Dolphin, initially acquiring an equity interest of 26.65%. IDBD is one of the largest and most diversified business groups in Israel. Through its subsidiaries and other investments in several markets and sectors, such as real estate, retail, agribusiness, insurance, and telecommunications, among others, IDBD has controlling or minority interests in leading companies such as Clal Holding Insurance Enterprises (Insurance Company), Cellcom, Adama, Shufersal, and PBC among others.

On October 11, 2015, the Company obtained control of IDBD. In conformity with IFRS 3, IDBD’s results of operations is included in the Company’s financial statements since the acquisition date, without affecting the information from previous years. See Note 4 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, the consolidated financial information for periods before the acquisition is not comparable to prior periods.

In addition, following the acquisition of IDBD, the Company established two levels in charge of allocating resources and assessing performance at the two operating centers, through executive committees based in Argentina and Israel. Consequently, the Company reports its financial performance on the basis of the new segment structure. Comparative information was amended to reflect the new organization, as applicable. The information by segment is now disclosed from two perspectives: geographic location and products and services. Geographically, the Company has established two operating centers to handle its global interests, one in Argentina and the other in Israel. The Company considers the activities developed by each operating center separately, and such activities are reportable operating segments on the basis of the nature of their products, services, operations and risks. In management’s opinion, the operating segments are grouped so as to reflect the similar economic features of each region, as well as the similar products and services being offered, types of clients and regulatory environments. For more information about our acquisition of control of IDBD see “Significant acquisitions, dispositions and development of business - Control obtainment of IDB Development”

On the other hand, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Argentine Peso depreciated against the US dollar and other currencies by approximately 66%, 12% and 51%, respectively, with the ensuing impact on the comparability of the figures disclosed in the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, mainly as a result of the foreign exchange exposure of our revenues and costs from the “Offices and Others” segment and our assets and liabilities (mainly those of the Operations Center in Israel) denominated in foreign currency.

Operations Center in Argentina

Shopping Centers

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

During fiscal year 2016 we maintained the same portfolio of operating shopping centers.

As it concerns the new shopping centers inaugurated in fiscal year 2015, “Distrito Arcos” and “Alto Comahue”, the periods during which operating income (loss) was recorded were different in both years. Fiscal year 2016 includes 12 months of operations of Distrito Arcos and Alto Comahue, while fiscal year 2015 includes six months and a half, and three months and a half of operations, respectively. However, the income from these new developments, both in the income statement and in the information by segment, was not significant against the total figures of this segment, for the indicated years. For this reason, there were no material effects on the comparison of information.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

During fiscal year 2015, we inaugurated two new shopping centers: “Distrito Arcos,” located in the area of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires, in December 2014 and “Alto Comahue,” located in the City of Neuquén, Argentine Patagonian region, in March 2015. Income from these new developments, both in the income statement and the information by segment was not significant against the total figures of this segment, for the indicated years. For this reason, there were no significant effects on information comparability.

Offices and others

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

During fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the comparability of revenues and costs from the Offices and Others segment was affected by the partial sale of rental property allocated to this segment. In this regard, during fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Company sold several floors at the buildings Maipú 1300, Intercontinental Plaza, Bouchard 551 and Dique IV in its entirety (a leasable area of 30,658 sqm, accounting for approximately 27% of the total leasable area at the beginning of the year) and Isla Sirgadero.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

During fiscal year 2015, the revenues and costs from our Offices and Others segment saw their comparability affected by partial sales of properties intended for lease allocated to that segment. In this respect, during fiscal years 2015 and 2014, 10,792 sqm of leasable surface area was sold (approximately 8.8% of total leasable area at the beginning of the fiscal year), and 8,744 sqm of leasable surface area (approximately 6.2% of total leasable area at the beginning of the fiscal year), respectively.

Additionally, in December 2014, the Company transferred 83,789 sqm of rental buildings from IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. to IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. This transaction, though at the consolidated level, did not have accounting effects because it was a related party transaction, was considered a business combination, and therefore, costs related to this transaction of Ps.110.5 million were recognized as income during fiscal year 2015 in “Other operating results, net”.

Sales and Developments

Revenues and costs from this segment often vary significantly from one fiscal year to another due to the non-recurrence of different sales transactions performed by the Company throughout the time.

Hotels

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

During these fiscal years, there were no factors affecting comparability.

International

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

The most affected line in terms of comparability was “Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures” for, until October 11, 2015, the profit (loss) from the investment in IDBD at fair value was reported within the International segment.

On the other hand, the operating income (loss) from this segment was also affected, but to a lesser extent, by the profits (losses) derived from the Madison building, which was disposed of during fiscal year 2015. No operation involving this building was accounted for during fiscal year 2016 while operations with this building were included during fiscal year 2015 until September 2014.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenues and costs from the international segment were mainly affected by the only 3-month consolidation in fiscal 2015, compared to the 12-month consolidation in fiscal 2014, of the results of Rigby 183 LLC (“Rigby 183”), which owns the Madison 183 building, located in the City of New York, that was sold on September 2014, and to a lesser extent, by the effect of devaluation described above.

Financial Operations and Others

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015

During fiscal year 2016, there were no factors affecting comparability, except for the effect of the change in the valuation of our investment in Avenida accounted for during the previous year. No operating income (loss) was accounted for during 2016 in relation to this investment, as compared to fiscal year 2015 when operating income (loss) was recorded for the first three months of the year.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

During fiscal year 2015, the results of this segment were affected by different transactions performed by the Company in relation to the investment in Avenida, including the exercise of warrants, the dilution of part of our interest in this company in view of the entry of a new investor and the sale of 5% of our shareholding. As a result of all these transactions, as from the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we ceased to have significant influence on Avenida and therefore, we ceased to recognize it as an investment in an associate, accounted for under the equity method, and we started to recognize it as a financial asset valued at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognized in financial and holding results, net and are excluded in the segment reporting.

Revenues from sales, leases and services, increased Ps.29,272 million, from Ps.3,403 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.32,675 million during fiscal year 2016 (Ps.28,229 million of which derive from the Operations Center in Israel and Ps.4,446 million from the Operations Center in Argentina). Without considering the revenues from the Operations Center in Israel, revenues from sales, leases and services increased by 30.6%.

Revenues from common maintenance expenses and common advertising fund increased by 34.6%, from Ps.887 million (of which Ps.806 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment and Ps.79 million are allocated to the Offices and Others segment within the Operations Center in Argentina) during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,194 million (of which Ps.1,101 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment and Ps.93 million are allocated to the Offices and Others segment) during fiscal year 2016.

Furthermore, revenues from interests in our joint ventures increased 7.4%, from Ps.27 million during fiscal year 2015 (of which Ps.13 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment, Ps.9 million to the Offices and Others segment, and Ps.5 million to the Sales and Developments segment within the Operations Center in Argentina) to Ps.29 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.20 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment, Ps.4 million to the Offices and Others segment, and Ps.5 million to the Sales and Developments segment within the Operations Center in Argentina), mainly as a result of increased revenues from our joint business Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A, and partially offset by a decline in revenues from our joint business Quality Invest S.A.

Finally, inter-segment revenues increased by 60%, from Ps.5 million during fiscal year 2015 (allocated to the Offices and Others segment within the Operations Center in Argentina) to Ps.8 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.7 million are allocated to the Offices and Others segment and Ps.1 million to the Hotels segment within the Operations Center in Argentina).

126

Thus, according to business segment reporting (taking into consideration the revenues from our joint businesses and without considering the revenues from common maintenance expenses and common advertising fund or inter-segment revenues), revenues grew by Ps.28,970 million from Ps.2,548 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.31,518 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.28,229 million are derived from the Operations Center in Israel and Ps.3,289 million are derived from the Operations Center in Argentina). Without considering the revenues from the Operations Center in Israel, revenues, pursuant to business segment reporting, grew by 29.1%.

Operations Center in Argentina

Shopping Centers. Revenues from the Shopping Centers segment increased by 35.3%, from Ps.1,778 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.2,406 million during fiscal year 2016. This increase was mainly attributable to: (i) a Ps.465 million increase in the revenues from base and percentage rents stemming from a 34.4% increase in our tenants’ total sales, from Ps.21,509 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.28,905 million during fiscal year 2016, (ii) a Ps.52 million increase in revenues from admission fees, (iii) a Ps.41 million increase in revenues from parking lot, and (iv) a Ps.34 million increase in revenues from commissions, among other items.

Offices and Others. Revenues from the Offices and Others segment rose by 2.1% from Ps.333 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.340 million during fiscal year 2016. They were affected by the partial sales of investment properties that took place during fiscal year 2016 and caused a reduction in the segment’s total leasable surface area. Rental revenues, considering properties that are similar for both fiscal years on account of no reductions in their leasable area, rose by 34.0%, from Ps.200 million during fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 to Ps.268 million during fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, mainly due to the depreciation of the Peso while rental revenues associated with properties whose leasable area had sustained a reduction, dropped by 49.5%, from Ps.111 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.56 million during fiscal year 2016. At the end of fiscal year 2016, the average occupancy rate for the portfolio of premium offices had been 97.7% and the average rental remained close to US$27 per square meter.

Sales and Developments. Revenues from the Sales and Developments segment decreased by 46.7%, from Ps.15 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.8 million during fiscal year 2016. This reduction is mainly due to lower revenues from the sales of units at Condominios I and II (Ps.7 million).

Hotels. Revenues from our Hotels segment rose by 34.8%, from Ps.396 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.534 million during fiscal year 2016, primarily due to a 34.4% increase in the average rate per room (measured in pesos) of our hotel portfolio.

International. Revenues from the International segment dropped by 100.0% as compared to the Ps.26 million accounted for in fiscal year 2015 due to the sale of the Madison 183 building completed by the Company in fiscal year 2015.

Financial Operations and Others. Revenues from the Financial Operations and Others segment did not experience significant changes during the reported periods.

Operations Center in Israel

Real Estate. During fiscal year 2016, revenues from the Real Estate segment totaled Ps.1,538 million.

Supermarkets. During fiscal year 2016, revenues from the Supermarkets segment totaled Ps.18,610 million.

Total consolidated costs, pursuant to the income statement, increased by Ps.20,988 million, from Ps.1,511 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.22,499 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.20,481 million are derived from the Operations Center in Israel and Ps.2,018 million from the Operations Center in Argentina). Without considering the costs from the Operations Center in Israel, costs rose by 33.6%. Total consolidated costs as a percentage of total consolidated revenues also increased by 44.4% during fiscal year 2015 to 68.9% during fiscal year 2016, and such increase is mainly attributable to the Operations Center in Israel. Without considering the costs from the Operations Center in Israel, consolidated costs as a percentage of total consolidated revenues experienced a slight increase from 44.4% during fiscal year 2015 to 45.4% during fiscal year 2016.

In turn, costs from common maintenance expenses and the common advertising fund increased by 34.0%, from Ps.901 million during fiscal year 2015 (of which Ps.820 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment and Ps.79 million to the Offices and Others segment within the Operations Center in Argentina) to Ps.1,207 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.1,113 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment and Ps.94 million to the Offices and Others segment within the Operations Center in Argentina), mainly due to increased costs originated by our Shopping Centers, which rose by 35.7% from Ps.820 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,113 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as a result of: (i) an increase in advertising expenses of Ps.111.8 million, (ii) an increase in salaries, social security charges and other personnel expenses of Ps.103.1 million; (iii) an increase in maintenance, security, cleaning, repair and other expenses of Ps.100.8 million(caused mainly by price raises in security and cleaning services and in public utilities rates), (iv) an increase in taxes, rates and contributions, and other expenses of Ps.25.5 million; and (v) an increase in other expenses of Ps.42 million (to cover the deficit in the common advertising fund and common maintenance expenses). Such change was also attributable to: a Ps.54.1 million increase from Ps.28.3 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.82.4 million during fiscal year 2016, mostly caused by the acquisition of new buildings (maintenance, cleaning, lease, common maintenance andother expenses of Ps.36.1 million, salaries and social security charges of Ps.10.8 million, and taxes, rates and contributions, and utilities of Ps.8.9 million).

128

Furthermore, costs from our joint ventures showed a net increase of 21.4%, from Ps.14 million during fiscal year 2015 (of which Ps.4 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment, Ps.5 million to the Offices and Others segment, and Ps.5 million to the Sales and Developments segment within the Operations Center in Argentina) to Ps.17 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.4 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment, Ps.8 million to the Offices and Others segment, and Ps.5 million to the Sales and Developments segment within the Operations Center in Argentina).

Finally, costs from inter-segment transactions increased by 50.0%, from Ps.4 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.6 million during fiscal year 2016 (which are fully allocated to the Shopping Centers segment within the Operations Center in Argentina).

Therefore, based on business segment reporting (taking into consideration the costs from our joint businesses and without considering the costs from common maintenance expenses and common advertising fund or costs from inter-segment operations), costs rose by Ps.20,687 million from Ps.628 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.21,315 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.20,481 million are attributable to the Operations Center in Israel and Ps.834 million to the Operations Center in Argentina).

Shopping Centers. Costs from the Shopping Centers segment increased by 38.6%, from Ps.290 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.402 million during fiscal year 2016.

In addition, costs, costs associated with comparable properties in both fiscal years when there were no partial sales, increased by 76.8%, from Ps.24 million to Ps.42 million, primarily owing to increased maintenance costs.

Such decline was mostly attributable to non-recurring expenses in connection with the transfer of assets from IRSA to IRSA PC (Ps.110 million) and the proceeds from the sale of our equity interest in Bitania (Ps.16 million) accounted for in 2015; partially offset by lower profits due to partially realized exchange gains during the period (Ps.92 million).

Other operating results, net from our joint ventures increased by Ps.4 million, from a loss of Ps.2 million during fiscal year 2015 (allocated to the Shopping Centers segment within the Operations Center in Argentina) to a gain of Ps.2 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which a gain of Ps.4 million is allocated to the Sales and Developments segment within the Operations Center in Argentina, and a loss of Ps.2 million to the Shopping Centers segment within the Operations Center in Argentina).

Other operating results from inter-segment operations increased by Ps.3 million, from Ps.2 million during fiscal year 2015 (allocated to the Offices and Others and Sales and Developments segments within the Operations Center in Argentina) to Ps.5 million during fiscal year 2016 (of which Ps.4 million are allocated to the Sales and Developments segment within the Operations Center in Argentina and Ps.1 million to the Offices and Others segment within the Operations Center in Argentina).

Therefore, according to business segment reporting (taking into consideration the Other operating results, net from our joint businesses and without considering those related to inter-segment operations), Other operating results, net rose by Ps.3 million from a net gain of Ps.28 million during fiscal year 2015 to a net gain of Ps.31 million during fiscal year 2016 (allocated to the Operations Center in Argentina). Without considering the effect of the Operations Center in Israel, Other operating results, net rose by Ps.3 million.

Operations Center in Argentina

Shopping Centers. Other operating losses, net for the Shopping Centers segment declined by 14.3%, from Ps.49 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.42 million during fiscal year 2016, mainly as a consequence of a decrease in the provision for lawsuits and contingencies of Ps.8 million. Other operating losses, net, as a percentage of revenues from the Shopping Centers segment, shrank from 2.0% during fiscal year 2015 to 1.7% during fiscal year 2016.

Offices and Others. Other operating losses, net associated with our Offices and Others segment declined by Ps.111 million, from a loss of Ps.117 million during fiscal year 2015 to a loss of Ps.6 million during fiscal year 2016, mainly due to non-recurring expenses in connection with the transfer of assets from IRSA to IRSA CP for Ps.110 million accounted for in fiscal year 2015, among other factors.

Sales and Developments. Other operating income, net in connection with our Sales and Developments segment declined by Ps.21 million, from a gain of Ps.13 million during fiscal year 2015 to a loss of Ps.8 million during fiscal year 2016, mainly due to Ps.16 million in income during fiscal year 2015 owing to the sale of our share interest in Bitania, among other factors.

Hotels. Other operating losses, net associated to the Hotels segment increased by Ps.2 million, primarily owing to an increase in provisions for lawsuits and other contingencies.

International. Other operating results, net in this segment declined by 51.9% from a net gain of Ps.183 million during fiscal year 2015 to a net gain of Ps.88 million during fiscal year 2016, primarily due to a decline in income caused by the partial reversal of accumulated conversion differences. As of June 30, 2016, it is attributable to the reversal of conversion differences prior to IDBD’s business combination, whilst as of June 30, 2015, it is attributable to the reversal of the provision for conversion differences generated by the Rigby, following the partial repayment of the company’s capital stock.

Financial Operations and Others. Other operating results, net associated to our Financial Operations and Others segment did not show significant changes for the reported periods.

(*) Includes revenues from sales, leases and services (Ps.2,109 million) and revenues from common maintenance expenses and common advertising fund (Ps.736 million).

Revenues from sales, leases and services, pursuant to income statement, rose by 19.3%, from Ps.2,109 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.2,516 million during fiscal year 2015.

In turn, revenues from common maintenance expenses and common advertising fund increased by 20.5%, from Ps.736 million during fiscal year 2014 (of which Ps.659 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment) to Ps.887 million during fiscal year 2015 (of which Ps.806 million are allocated to the Shopping Centers segment).

Furthermore, revenues from interests in our joint ventures showed a 34.1% decrease, from Ps.41 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.27 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to lower revenues from sales related to the Horizons project, from the CYRSA S.A. joint venture.

141

Finally, inter-segment revenues decreased by 16.7%, from Ps.6 million during fiscal year 2014 (of which Ps.5 million are allocated to the Offices and Others segment) to Ps.5 million during fiscal year 2015 (allocated to the Offices and Others segment).

Thus, according to business segment reporting, revenues grew by 18.2%, from Ps.2,156 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.2,548 million during fiscal year 2015.

Shopping Centers. Revenues from the Shopping Centers segment rose by 28.6%, from Ps.1,383 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.1,778 million during fiscal year 2015. This increase arose mainly from: (i) a Ps.318 million increase in the revenues from base and percentage rents stemming from a 33.3% increase in our tenants’ total sales, from Ps.16,133 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.21,509 million during fiscal year 2015, (ii) a Ps.30 million increase in revenues from admission fees, (iii) a Ps.31 million increase in revenues from parking lot, and (iv) a Ps.17 million increase in revenues from commissions, management fees and others.

Offices and Others. Revenues from the Offices and Others segment rose by 22.9%, from Ps.271 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.333 million during fiscal year 2015. They were affected by the partial sales of investment properties that took place during fiscal year 2015 and caused a reduction in the segment’s total leasable surface area. Rental revenues, considering properties that are similar for both fiscal years and that did not have any reductions in their leasable area, increased by 30.8%, from Ps.214 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.280 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to the depreciation of the peso and a higher average rate of occupancy, while rental revenues derived from properties whose leasable area had sustained a reduction, decreased by 45%, from Ps.45 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.25 million during fiscal year 2015. At the end of fiscal year 2015, the average occupancy rate for the portfolio of premium offices was 98.1% and the average rental remained close to US$26 per square meter.

Sales and Developments. Without considering our joint ventures, revenues from the Sales and Developments segment decreased by 83.9%, from Ps.62 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.10 million during fiscal year 2015. This reduction is mainly due to lower revenues from the sales of units at the Condominios I and II (Ps.45 million) and El Encuentro (Ps.7 million) projects. Revenues from interests in our joint ventures (Horizons), decreased by 78.3%, or Ps.18 million. Therefore, this segment’s total revenues decreased by 82.4%, from Ps.85 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.15 million during fiscal year 2015.

Hotels. Revenues from our Hotels segment increased by 19.3%, from Ps.332 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.396 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to a 34.2% increase in the average rate per room (measured in Ps.) of our portfolio of hotels, partially offset by a decrease in average hotel occupancy, from 67.2% during fiscal year 2014 to 65.7% during fiscal year 2015 (mainly in our Llao Llao hotel).

International. Revenues from the International segment decreased by 69.0%, from Ps.84 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.26 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly because only 3-months of results were consolidated during fiscal year 2015 compared to 12-months during fiscal year 2014 of the results of Rigby 183 LLC, which owns the Madison 183 building that was sold in September 2014.

Financial Operations and Others. Revenues associated with our Financial Operations and Others segment did not show significant changes for the fiscal years under discussion.

This decrease is mainly due to: (i) lower costs as a result of the deficit in common maintenance expenses and common advertising fund in our Shopping Centers for Ps.36 million and (ii) decreased depreciation and amortization costs for Ps.4 million, partially offset by higher costs generated by: (iii) a Ps.13 million increase in maintenance, security, cleaning, repair and other expenses (caused mainly by price raises in security and cleaning services and in public utilities rates); (iv) a Ps.10 million increase in salaries, social security charges and other personnel expenses, (v) a Ps.9 million increase in taxes, charges and contributions and other expenses (caused mainly by an increase in provincial taxes on land and municipal rates for utilities, among others); and (vi) a Ps.6 million increase in fees and payments for services. Costs from the Shopping Centers segment, as a percentage of this segment’s revenues, decreased by 21.2% during fiscal year 2014 to 16.3% during fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Offices and Others. Costs in the Offices and Others segment decreased by 20.9%, from Ps.43 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.34 million during fiscal year 2015. This variation is affected by the partial sales of investment properties intended for lease during fiscal year 2015. Costs associated with non-comparable properties decreased by 44.3%, from Ps.5 million to Ps.3 million, mainly due to the referred sales. Besides, costs, considering similar properties in both fiscal years on account of the inexistence of partial sales, decreased by 19.3%, from Ps.37 million to Ps.30 million, mainly due to decreased depreciation and amortization costs. Total costs in the Offices and Others segment, as a percentage of this segment’s revenues, fell from 15.9% during fiscal year 2014 to 10.2% during fiscal year 2015.

Sales and Developments. This segment’s costs often exhibit significant variations between one period and the other because of the non-recurrence of the sales of properties performed by the Company throughout the time. Without considering our joint ventures, the costs associated with our Sales and Developments segment dropped by 17.6%, from Ps.17 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.14 million during fiscal year 2015. This decrease is mainly attributable to lower costs from the sale of units in Condominios I and II (Ps.7 million), partially offset by the increased costs associated with land reserves and properties for sale (Ps.5 million). Costs from our joint ventures (Horizons) decreased by 68.8%, recording a decrease of Ps.11 million. Therefore, total costs from this segment dropped by 42.4%, from Ps.33 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.19 million during fiscal year 2015. Costs in the Sales and Developments segment, as a percentage of segment revenues, increased from 38.8% during fiscal year 2014 to 126.7% during fiscal year 2015.

Hotels. Costs in the Hotels segment rose by 28.7%, from Ps.216 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.278 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to: (i) a Ps.41 million increase in salaries, social security charges and other personnel expenses; (ii) a Ps.11 million increase in the costs of food, beverages and other hotel-related expenses; and (iii) increased charges, amounting to Ps.8 million, as maintenance and repairs, among others. Costs in the Hotels segment, as a percentage of this segment’s revenues, increased from 65.1% during fiscal year 2014 to 70.2% during fiscal year 2015.

International. Costs in the International segment dropped by 87.0%, from Ps.54 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.7 million during fiscal year 2015 mainly due to the only 3-month consolidation in the year 2015 compared to the 12-month consolidation in the year 2014 of the results of Rigby 183 LLC, owner of the Madison 183 building intended for lease, which was sold in September 2014; in addition, the 3-month period of 2015 does not include amortization and depreciation costs as the property has been classified as available for sale as of June 30, 2014.

The share of loss of associates and joint ventures, pursuant to income statement, increased by 147.1%, from Ps.414 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.1,023 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to the investments from the International segment, partially offset by the investments from the Financial Operations and Others segment.

The share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures mainly arising from Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. (Shopping Centers segment), Quality Invest S.A. (Offices segment) and Cyrsa S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A. and Baicom Networks S.A. (Sales and Developments segment) dropped by 53.8%, from Ps.26 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.12 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to lower results from the Cyrsa S.A. joint venture.

Shopping Centers. According to business segment reporting, the share of profit of the joint venture Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. is presented on a line by line consolidated basis in this segment.

Offices and Others. According to business segment reporting, the share of profit/(loss) of the joint venture Quality Invest S.A. is presented on a line by line consolidated basis in this segment whereas the share of profit/(loss) generated by the indirect equity interest in our associate La Rural S.A., through the joint ventures Entertainment Holding S.A. and Entretenimiento Universal S.A., remains net in this line and increased from Ps.1 million in loss during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.3 million in loss during fiscal year 2015.

Sales and developments. The share of profit of joint ventures Cyrsa S.A., Puerto Retiro S.A. and Baicom Networks S.A. is presented on a line by line consolidated basis. The share of profit / (loss) of our associate Manibil S.A., presented in this line, decreased by 83.3%, from Ps.6 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.1 million during fiscal year 2015, as a result of reduced net profit from such associate.

Hotels. The share of profit / (loss) associated with our Hotels segment did not show significant changes for the fiscal years under discussion.

International. The share of loss of our associates in this segment, dropped by 93.0%, from a loss of Ps.616 million during fiscal year 2014 to a loss of Ps.1,189 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to lower results from our investment in IDBD of Ps.105 million mainly due to a recovery in the market trading price of IDBD’s shares, partially offset by higher losses in pesos related to the Lipstick building investment of Ps.25 million, mainly due to the fluctuation in the exchange rate used in the conversion, and Ps.66 million at Condor, mainly due to the increase in financial liabilities measured at fair value.

Financial Operations and Others. The share of profit of our associates in the Financial Operations and Others segment decreased by 8.8%, from Ps.170 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.155 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to lower profits from our investment in BHSA of Ps.41.2 million and Banco de Crédito y Securitización of Ps.1 million, partially offset by higher profits related to our investment in Tarshop of Ps.8 million and Avenida for Ps.21 million.

Financial results, net

The net financial loss decreased by 45.7%, from Ps.1,719 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.933 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to: (i) lower foreign exchange losses of Ps.795 million and (ii) lower income from the valuation at fair value of derivate financial instruments of Ps.301 million, mainly due to Ps.296 million associated with IDBD-related instruments, partially offset by (iii) lower income from the valuation of financial assets at fair value of Ps.173 million, mainly due to a financial loss owing to the valuation public and private securities, shares and common funds of Ps.255 million, partially offset by higher results generated by the valuation of shares in Avenida of Ps.72 million and preferred shares in Condor Hospitality Trust Inc. of Ps.66 million and (iv) an increased charge for interest paid for loans and notes taken by the Company of Ps.148 million.

During fiscal year 2015, Argentina’s peso depreciated by approximately 12%, from Ps.8.133 per US$1.06 at June 30, 2014 to Ps.9.088 per US$1.06 at June 30, 2015, while during fiscal year 2014 the variation had been 51%, from Ps.5.388 per US$1.06 at June 30, 2013 to Ps.8.133 per US$1.06 at June 30, 2014. This situation materially affects our financial results because of the exposure of our indebtedness to the variations in the exchange rate between the Peso and the US Dollar.

Income Tax

The Company applies the deferred tax method to calculate the income tax applicable to the fiscal years under consideration, thus recognizing the temporary differences as tax assets and liabilities. Income tax expense during fiscal year was Ps.64 million during fiscal year 2014 and a loss of Ps.489 million during fiscal year 2015, in line with income before tax, which was a loss of Ps.895 million during fiscal year 2014 and income of Ps.559 million during fiscal year 2015.

Income/(loss) for the year

As a result of the factors described above, income/(loss) for the year went from a loss of Ps.831 million during fiscal year 2014 to a loss of Ps.70 million during fiscal year 2015.

Income attributable to the controlling shareholders went from a loss of Ps.786 million during fiscal year 2014 to a loss of Ps.41 million during fiscal year 2015.

Income/(loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest went from a loss of Ps.45 million during fiscal year 2014 to income of Ps.111 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly as a result of increased profit from: (i) Rigby 183 LLC of Ps.104 million resulting from the sale of the office building it owned; (ii) Real Estate Strategies LP (Condor) of Ps.13 million; (iii) IRSA PC of Ps.8 million and lower losses from Dolphin (IDBD) of Ps.29 million.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically been:

Cash generated by operations;

Cash generated by issuance of debt securities;

Cash from borrowing and financing arrangements; and

Cash proceeds from the sale of real estate assets.

Our principal cash requirements or uses (other than in connection with our operating activities) have historically been:

capital expenditures for acquisition or construction of investment properties and property, plant and equipment;

interest payments and repayments of debt;

acquisition of shares in companies;

payments of dividends; and

acquisitions or purchases of real estate.

Our liquidity and capital resources include our cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from bank borrowings and long-term debt, capital financing and sales of real estate investments.

As of June 30, 2016, our Operation Center in Argentina had positive working capital of Ps.51 million while our Operations Center in Israel had negative working capital of Ps.888 million, resulting in a consolidated negative working capital of Ps.837 million (calculated as current assets less current liabilities as of such date). At the same date, our Operations Center in Argentina had cash and cash equivalents of Ps.95 million while our Operations Center in Israel had cash and cash equivalents of Ps.13,771 million, totaling consolidated cash and cash equivalents for Ps.13,866 million.

IDBD has diverse debts containing certain covenants which have been successively negotiated, resulting in several waivers expiring in December 2016. IDBD estimates that if the original covenants of such loans were to become effective again, it would not be able to honor them. Non-compliance could have the effect of creditors requiring immediate repayment of the debt. As a holding company, IDBD’s main sources of funds derive from the dividends distributed by its subsidiaries, which have experienced a reduction in recent years. Yet, there are restrictions as to the payment of dividends based on the indebtedness level in some subsidiaries. IDBD has projected future cash flows and expects to have the required liquidity to meet its commitments by issuing new debt in Israel, selling financial assets such as Clal and dividend payouts by Clal. IDBD could also secure additional financing through the private issuance of equity securities. All factors mentioned above, mainly (i) IDBD’s current financial position and need of financing to honor its financial debt and other commitments, (ii) the renegotiation underway with financial creditors, and (iii) the term set by Israel’s governmental authorities to sell the equity interest in Clal and the potential effects of such sale, in particular, on its market value, raise significant uncertainties as to IDBD’s capacity to continue as a going-concern.

The financial position of IDBD and its subsidiaries at the Operations Center in Israel does not affect the financial position of IRSA and its subsidiaries at the Operations Center in Argentina. The Operation Center in Argentina is not facing financial constraints and is compliant with their financial commitments. We believe our working capital and our cash from operating activities are adequate for our present and future requirements. If cash generated from our operations is at any time insufficient to finance our working capital, we would seek to finance such working capital needs through debt financing or equity issuances or through the sale of selective assets.

In addition, the commitments and other covenants resulting from IDBD’s debt do not have impact on IRSA since such debt has no recourse against IRSA and it is not granted by IRSA’s assets. We do not have significant uncertainties as to the capacity as a group to operate as a going-concern perspective, with such uncertainties being limited to the operation center in Israel. For more information about our liquidity see “Item 3(d) Risk Factors” and “Recent Developments”.

On September 8, 2016, we issued Series VII and VIII Notes in an aggregate principal amount of Ps.384.2 million and US$184.5 million, respectively. Series VII and VIII Notes have a maturity of 36 months from its issue date. For more information, please see “Recent Developments”.

152

On August 2, 2016, IDBD issued a new Series of Notes in the Israeli market for NIS 325 million, bearing an adjustable interest rate and maturing in 2019. Furthermore, DIC expended it issuance of Notes due 2025 for an additional NIS 360 million. For more information, please see “Recent Developments”.

On September 9, 2016, we announced our intention to redeem all outstanding Series I Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$74,554,000. The redemption took place on October 11, 2016. For more information see “Recent Development”

Operations Center in Argentina

On March 3, 2016, IRSA and IRSA CP announced that they would launch offers to buy in cash: (i) 11.50% Class II Notes due 2020 and issued by IRSA for principal amount up to US$76.5 million, (ii) any and 8.50% Class 1 Notes due 2017 and issued by IRSA, and (iii) any and 7.875% Class 1 Notes due 2017 and issued by IRSA CP.

On March 23, 2016, IRSA CP issued Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$360 million under its Global Notes Program. Class II Notes accrue interest semi-annually, at an annual fixed rate of 8.75% and mature on March 23, 2023. The issue price was 98.722% of nominal value.

IRSA CP’s Notes due 2023 are subject to certain covenants, events of default and limitations, such as the limitation on incurrence of additional indebtedness, limitation on restricted payments, limitation on transactions with affiliates, and limitation on merger, consolidation and sale of all or substantially all assets.

To incur additional indebtedness, IRSA CP is required to meet a minimum 2.00 to 1.00 Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. The Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as Consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and other consolidated non-cash charges.

156

The Class II Notes contain financial covenants limiting IRSA CP’s ability to declare or pay dividends in cash or in kind, unless the following conditions are met at the time of payment:

no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

IRSA CP may incur at least US$1.00 worth of additional debt pursuant to the “Restriction on Additional Indebtedness”;

and the aggregate amount of such dividend exceeds the sum of:

100% of cumulative EBITDA for the period (treated as one accounting period) from July 1, 2015 through the last day of the last fiscal quarter ended prior to the date of such Restricted Payment minus an amount equal to 150% of consolidated interest expense for such period; and

During the months of March, April and May of 2016, the Company acquired all IRSA CP’s 7.875% Notes Class I due 2017 for a total amount US$120 million and US$75.4 million of IRSA Notes. On October 11, 2016 the Company acquired the remaining US$74.6 million of IRSA’s 8.50% Notes due 2017, so the following notes remains outstanding:

IRSA’s Notes Class II at 11.50% maturing in 2020 US$71.4 million.

Such payments were accounted for as a cancellation of debt.

In relation to financial covenants under 11.50% Notes due in 2020 issued by IRSA, the Meeting of Noteholders held on March 23, 2016 approved:

to modify the covenant on Limitation on Restricted Payments, so that the original covenant was replaced so as to take into consideration IRSA’s capability to make any restricted payment provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and persisted, and (b) IRSA may incur at least US$1.00 of additional debt pursuant to the Limitation on Additional Indebtedness; and

ii)

the exclusion of IDBD or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of the definition of “Subsidiary” or any of the definitions or commitments under the Trust Indenture of Notes due in 2020 and issued by IRSA (regardless of whether the financial statements of any of these companies has any time been consolidated into IRSA’s financial statements).

iii)

a Supplementary Trust Indenture reflecting all the amendments approved, entered into with the Bank of New York Mellon on March 28, 2016.

IDBD has certain financial restrictions and covenants in connection with its financial debt, included in its debentures and loans from banks and financial institutions.

As of June 30, 2016, IDBD reported that the application of the “Liquidity Covenant” and the “Economic Equity Covenant” (as described below) is currently suspended.

Note that, it was agreed between IDBD and the relevant lending corporations that the parties would work to formulate an arrangement, to replace or amend the current financial covenants by December 31, 2016.

If such arrangement is not reached, then with respect to the results for IDBDs first quarter of 2017 and thereafter, the previous financial covenants will re-apply, in which case IDBD estimates that it will not be able to comply with the thresholds which were determined in the past with respect to the Liquidity Covenant and the Economic Equity Covenant with respect to IDBD’s results for the first quarter of 2017 and thereafter. IDBD estimates it will not be able to fulfill the covenant which stipulates that the balance of cash and marketable securities will not fall below the scope of forecasted current maturities for the two quarters subsequent to the reporting quarter (the “Liquidity Covenant”). Regarding the Economic Equity Covenant, it is noted that the economic equity as of June 30, 2016, amounted to a positive balance of NIS 247 million, significantly lower than the thresholds which were determined in the past as part of the Economic Equity Covenant.

157

In view of and due to the decrease in Mr. Ben Moshe’s ownership of IDBD, effective as of February 2015 and thereafter, in March 2016 IDBD reached understandings with its lending corporations with regard to an amendment of the control covenant and additional amendments relating to restrictions on the sale of main holdings.

As per IDBD’s position, as of June 30, 2016, there were no conditions that established grounds for calling IDBD’s obligations to its financial creditors for immediate payment. Without derogating from the IDBD’s position, it is noted that the decision of the bondholders (Series I) dated April 21, 2016, to call the full balance of IDBD’s debt due to bondholders for immediate repayment and the decision to take steps for dissolution are liable to raise grounds for the financial creditors. According to an opinion that IDBD received, the conditions required for it to call the bonds were not fulfilled. On July 18, 2016, the Court handed down its judgment and accepted the consensus motion filed by the trustee to dismiss the claim.

As of June 30, 2016, IDBD’s loans which are subject to the aforementioned financial covenants, were classified under current liabilities, in consideration of the fact that IDBD has reached agreement with its principal lenders to extend the arrangements as specified in the financial covenants of the loan agreements until March 31, 2017 for a period shorter than twelve months.

On August 2, 2016 IDBD issued a new Series of Debentures in the Israeli market for an amount of NIS 325 million due November 2019 at an annual interest rate adjustable by CPI plus 4.25%. The notes are pledged by shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings Ltd, subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings. IDBD worked to get the authorization to constitute the guarantee through the filing of an application to the Supreme Court asking for such approval. In case IDBD does not get the required approval, funds must be repaid with interest plus a penalty. on September 15, 2016, the High Court of Justice gave a partial judgment and decision, according to which it was decided, to reject the petition for the most part and to grant an order which instructs the Commissioner to appear and show a reason for her opposition to the request of the company to pledge up to 5% of the shares of Clal Holdings, subject to an outline agreed to at the time by the company. Furthermore, the company maintains the right to accede to a proposal for compromise which was raised in the context of the discussion. A hearing date was set for January 2017.

Likewise, on August 4, 2016, DIC reopened its Series of Debentures due 2025 an additional amount of NIS 360 million. The placement was made at an IRR of 5.70%.

Pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court sitting as the High Court of Justice in connection with the petition that the company submitted in connection with the pledge of the shares of Clal Holdings in September 2016, on October 13, 2016, the Board of Directors of IDBD decided to execute a partial early redemption of the debentures of the company, that is to be carried out on November 1, 2016, as follows:

• The company will carry out a partial early redemption of the debentures in an amount of approximately NIS 239 million of par value (“the redeemed portion”) and in a total of approximately NIS 244 million with respect to principal, interest and compensation for the redeemed portion.

• The determining date for the eligibility to receive the early redemption of the principal of the debentures is 25.10.2016.

• The early redemption represents 73.7% of the unpaid balance of the principal of the debentures, which is also the original balance of the series of the debentures.

• The rate of interest (including the compensation for carrying out the early redemption as an increment of 3% with respect to the period from August 3, 2016 through October 21, 2016) that will be paid upon the partial early redemption of the redeemed portion of the principal is approximately 1.8%.

• The rate of interest (including the compensation for carrying out the early redemption as an increment of 3% with respect to the period from August 3, 2016 through October 31, 2016) that will be paid in the context of the early redemption, which is calculated out of the balance of the unpaid balance of the principal on the date of the early redemption (NIS 325 million linked to the CPI) is approximately 1.3%.

• Pursuant to the “known” CPI (index with respect to the month of September 2016, which was published on 14.10.2016) as compared with the base index published with respect to the month of June 2016, no linkage increments will apply with respect to the redeemed portion upon early redemption.

• The unpaid balance of the principal of the debentures after executing the early redemption (without linkage) will stand at an amount of approximately NIS 86 million par value, which represents approximately 26.3%, of the original balance of the principal of the debentures. The company will act to pledge the shares of Clal Holdings against the balance of the unpaid principal of the debentures (after carrying out the early redemption. As is required according to the trust indenture.

• Pursuant to what is stated in the trust indenture, the redeemed portion will be paid in relation to all of the holders of the debentures, pro- rata according to the par value of the held debentures.

IDBD is continuing to act in order to reach consents with the relevant financing corporations in order to arrange over time the calculated financial covenants that were determined in the provisions of its loan agreements, and additional contractual issues that exist in the loan agreements.

D. Trend Information

International Macroeconomic Outlook

As reported in the IMF’s “World Economic Outlook”, global GDP expanded by 3.1% in 2015, slightly below the projections mainly as a result of a strong decline in activity during the last quarter in the year. World growth is expected to reach 3.2% in 2016 and 3.5% in 2017. In 2016 and 2017, growth in developed economies is expected to remain steady at about 2%, driven by the growth in the United States of 2.5%, and in the Euro area, of 1.5%.

As of April 2016, emerging and developing economies have recorded growth rates of 4%, also slightly below the projections. They are expected to grow 4.1% and 4.7% by the end of 2016 and 2017. Emerging economies continue facing challenges as regards the inflow of foreign capital. Countries which are more flexible in terms of foreign exchange responded better to the global flow of capital than in previous decelerations.

During 2014 and 2015, the commodities markets suffered a strong decline. Mainly, oil exhibited a sustained negative trend until reaching a historical low in February 2016. During 2016, the commodities markets exhibited a strong recovery with a 31.6% rise in oil prices. Soybean reversed the decline it had suffered in 2014 and 2015 and rose 33.6%.

IMF’s forecasts indicate that inflation in the economies of emerging and developing markets will decrease from 4.7% in 2015 to 4.5% in 2016, due to the decline in the prices of raw materials and the effects of last year’s currency depreciations evening out.

Average inflation in advanced economies will remain below the goals set by central banks, mostly as a result of the lower price of oil. As of April 2016, the general level of inflation in advanced economies averaged 0.3%, the lowest since the global financial crisis.

Argentine macroeconomic context

On October, 2016, IMF published its growth projection for 2016 for 1.8% decline of the GDP. This correction was due to the change in policies implemented by the new government administration aimed at balancing certain macroeconomic distortions. Growth is expected to strengthen to 2.7 percent in 2017 on the back of moderating inflation and more supportive monetary and fiscal policy stances.

Shopping center and supermarket sales reached a total Ps.4,374 million in April 2016, which represents a 41.4% increase as compared to the same period last year. Accumulated sales for the first four months of the year totaled Ps.14,586 million, representing a 29.2% increase as compared to the same period last year.

The INDEC reports that, as of April 2016, industrial activity in Argentina decreased by 6.7% as compared to the same month in 2015. Manufacturing production accumulated a 2.4% decline during the first four months of the year as compared to the same period last year.

Regarding the balance of payments, in the first quarter of 2016 the current account deficit reached US$4,013 million, with US$1,403 million allocated to the goods and services trade balance, and US$2,572 million to the income account, which represents 72% of the foreign direct investment return.

159

During the first quarter of 2016, the financial account showed a surplus of US$8,510 million resulting from net income from the non-financial public sector and the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”) for US$6,233 million, from the non-financial private sector for US$1,701 million, and from the financial sector for US$576 million. The stock of international Reserves fell by US$5,844 million in 2015. During the first half of 2016, reserves grew by US$4,944 million. At July, reserves stood at US$25,512 million.

Total gross external debt increased by US$10,605 million during the first quarter of 2016 and stood at US$163,236 million at March 2016. The non-financial public sector and Argentine Central Bank debt was estimated at US$92,469 million, having increased by US$8,593 million during the first quarter of 2016. The Argentine Central Bank’s government security and bond outstanding balance increased by US$3,431 million during the first quarter of 2016. At the end of this quarter, the balance was US$43,794 million. The non-financial private debt grew US$2,261 million during the first quarter of 2016. At March 2016, such debt stood at US$67,621 million. The financial sector debt excluding the Argentine Central Bank decreased by US$250 million during the first quarter of 2016, reaching a total of US$3,145 million.

In connection with the fiscal sector, revenues recorded a year-on-year increase of 38.9% as of March 2016, whereas primary expenditure grew by 38.7% during the same period. In local financial markets, the Private Badlar rate in Pesos ranged from 20% to 30% in the period from July 2015 to June 2016, averaging 28% in June 2016 against 20% in June 2015. The Argentine Central Bank discontinued its controlled floating exchange rate policy in December 2015; consequently, the Peso sustained a 63% nominal depreciation in the period from July 2015 to June 2016. At June 2016, the exchange rate stands at Ps.14.50 pesos per US$1.00. In June 2016, Argentina’s country risk decreased by 97 basis points in year-on-year terms, maintaining a high spread vis-à-vis the rest of the countries in the region. The debt premium paid by Argentina was at 518 basis points in June 2016, compared to the 352 basis points paid by Brazil and 213 basis points paid by Mexico.

Israeli macroeconomic context

According to the OECD, for the year ended at December 31, 2015, Israel’s growth reached 2.5%. Israel’s economic growth is projected to remain at 2.5% in 2016, before rising to 3% in 2017.

Since March 2015, the Bank of Israel has kept interest rates at 0.10% and has continued with its policy to intervene in the currency market to support economic policies. For both July and August 2016, the Monetary Committee also decided to leave the interest rate at the same level. Similar to the announcements of the interest rate decisions for November and December of 2015, all announcements in the first half of 2016 included guidance that monetary policy is expected to remain accommodative for a considerable time.

Since March 2015, the Bank of Israel has pursued a policy to intervene in the currency market. It continued to purchase foreign currency, purchasing US$4 billion, about US$0.9 billion of which were purchased as part of the program intended to offset the effects of natural gas production on the exchange rate. The rest were purchased as part of a program designed to moderate excessive fluctuations in the exchange rate.

During the twelve months ending June 30, 2016, the CPI in Israel declined by 0.8%. The energy component continued to contribute to the decline of the CPI, as a result of the sharp decline in global oil prices, even though this trend reversed itself during the first half of the year.

During the first half of 2016, the shekel remained stable in terms of the nominal effective exchange rate (the average in June relative to the average in December), and relative to the U.S. dollar. Relative to the euro, the shekel appreciated by about 3%. Various models of the equilibrium exchange rate indicate that the shekel may be overvalued.

Activity in the housing market remained robust during the reviewed period: Home prices continued to increase, and the volumes of transactions and of new mortgages originated remain high. At the beginning of the first half of 2016, the Research Department presented a forecast in which it projected that inflation would return to within the target range at the beginning of 2017, and that the Bank of Israel interest rate would increase gradually starting in the last quarter of 2016.

In regards to the seasonality, in Israel retail segment business results are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of the consumption behavior of the population proximate to the Pesach holidays (March and/or April) and Rosh Hashanah and Sukkoth holidays (September and/or October). This also affects the balance sheet values of inventory, customers and suppliers. Our revenues from cellular services are usually affected by seasonality with the third quarter of the year characterized by higher roaming revenues due to increased incoming and outgoing tourism.

Internal Control

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 performed by the Board of directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the entity’s objectives in the following categories:

· Effectiveness and efficiency of operations

· Reliability of financial reporting, and

· Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

Based on the above, the company’s internal control system involves all the levels 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;

165

· 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;

· the rest of the 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. 677/01, currently by application of Capital Markets Law No. 26,831 and the regulations of the 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, and disclosure of accounting and financial information, (ii) management of our business risk, the management of our internal control systems, (iii) behavior and ethical conduct of the Company’s businesses, (iv) monitoring the sufficiency of our financial statements, (v) our compliance with the laws, (vi) independence and competence 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.

In accordance with the provisions of the Capital Markets Law and the CNV’s Regulations, our Audit Committee is made up by three Board members who qualify as 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.

Aspects related to the decision-making processes and internal control system of the company

The decision-making process is led in the first place by the Executive Committee in exercise of the duties and responsibilities granted to it under the bylaws. As part of its duties, a material aspect of its role is to draft the Company’s strategic plan and annual budget projections, which are submitted to the Board of Directors for review and approval.

The Executive Committee analyzes the objectives and strategies that will be later considered and resolved by the Board of Directors and outlines and defines the main duties and responsibilities of the various management departments.

The Company’s internal control is carried out by the Internal Audit Management, which reports to the CEO and works in coordination with the Audit Committee by issuing periodical reports to it.

The Company’s internal control system also involves all levels that participate in active control: the Board of Directors establishes the objectives, principles and values, it provides general guidance and assesses global results; the Departments are responsible for compliance with internal policies, procedures and controls to achieve results within their sectors and –of course- achieve the results for the entire organization, and the other personnel members also have a role in exercising control upon generating information used by the control system, or by taking certain actions to ensure control.

In addition, the Company has an Internal Audit Department reporting to the CEO that is responsible for overseeing compliance with internal controls by the Departments above mentioned and works, in turn, together with the Audit Committee by submitting periodic reports to the latter.

B. Compensation

Board of Directors

Under the Argentine Corporations Law, if the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee is not established in the by-laws of the Company, it should be determined by the shareholders’ meeting. The maximum amount of total compensation to the members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Committee, including compensation for technical or administrative permanent activities, cannot exceed 25% of the earnings of the company. That amount should be limited to 5% when there is no distribution of dividends to shareholders and will be increased in proportion to the distribution up to such limit if all earnings are distributed. For purposes of applying this provision, the reduction in the distribution of dividends derived from reducing the Board of Directors’ and Supervisory Committee’s fees will not be considered.

166

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 shall approve compensation in excess of the above mentioned limits. The compensation of our directors for each fiscal year is determined pursuant to the Argentine 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.

Our shareholders’ meeting held on October 30, 2015, approved compensation to the members of our Board of Directors in an aggregate amount of Ps.18.6 million, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

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 the Company’s overall results.

The aggregate compensation paid to our Senior Management of the Operations Center in Argentina for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 was Ps.17.8 million.

The aggregate compensation paid to our Senior Management of the Operations Center in Israel since we gained control of IDBD on October 11, 2015 and until June 30, 2016, was Ps.11,36 million. For our CEO and CFO total compensation was considered since they were appointed in January 2016.

Supervisory Committee

The shareholders meeting held on October 30, 2015, 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

Since 2006 we develop a special compensation plan for key managers by means of contributions made by the employees and by the Company.

Such Plan is directed to key managers selected by us and aims to retain them by increasing their total compensation package through an extraordinary reward, 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 may 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 7.5% 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.

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, including 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 cause, the Participant may redeem amounts contributed by us only if he or she has participated in the Plan for at least 5 years subject to certain conditions.

167

Long Term Incentive Program

The Shareholders’ Meetings held on October 31, 2011, October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2013 ratified the resolutions approved thereat as regards the incentive plan for the Company’s executive officers, up to 1% of its shareholders’ equity by allocating the same number of own treasury stock (the “Plan”), and delegated on the Board of Directors the broadest powers to fix the price, term, form, modality, opportunity and other conditions to implement such plan. In this sense and in accordance with the new Capital Markets Law, the Company has made the relevant filing with the CNV and pursuant to the comments received from such entity, it has made the relevant amendments to the Plan which, after the CNV had stated to have no further comments, were explained and approved at the Shareholders’ Meeting held on November 14, 2014, where the broadest powers were also delegated to the Board of Directors to implement such plan.

The Company has developed a medium and long term incentive and retention stock program for its management team and key employees under which share-based contributions were calculated based on the annual bonus for the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

The beneficiaries under the Plan are invited to participate by the Board of Directors and their decision to access the Plan is voluntary.

In the future, the Participants or their successors in interest will have access to 100% of the benefit (IRSA’s shares contributed by the Company) in the following cases:

· if an employee resigns or is dismissed for no cause, he or she will be entitled to the benefit only if 5 years have elapsed from the moment of each contribution

· retirement

· total or permanent disability

· death

While participants are part of the program and until the conditions mentioned above are met to receive the shares corresponding to the contributions based on the 2011 to 2013 bonus, participants will receive the economic rights corresponding to the shares assigned to them.

As regards the year 2014, the program sets forth an extraordinary reward consisting of freely available stock payable in a single opportunity on a date to be determined by the Company. The date was fixed for June 26, 2015 for payroll employees of IRSA, IRSA CP, PAMSA, ERSA, ARCOS and FIBESA who received IRSA’s shares.

Besides, the Company has decided to grant a bonus to all the personnel with more than two years of seniority and who do not participate in the program described above, which bonus consists of a number of shares equivalent to their compensation for June 2014.

The shares allocated to the Plan by the Company are shares purchased in 2009, which the Shareholders’ Meeting held on October 31, 2011 has specifically decided to allocate to the program.

Our CEO of the Operations Centers in Isreal, has a stock option remuneration plan which includes 5,310,000 options, that will be given in five series, and which may be exercised for 5,310,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1 per share of Discount Investments

Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics is effective as from July 31, 2005 with the aim of providing a wide range of guidelines as concerns accepted individual and corporate behavior. It is applicable to directors, managers and employees of IRSA and its controlled companies. The Code of Ethics that governs our business, in compliance with the laws of the countries where we operate, may be found on our website www.irsa.com.ar.

A committee of ethics composed of managers and board members is responsible for providing solutions to issues related to the Code of Ethics and is in charge of taking disciplinary measures in case of breach of the code.

Audit Committee

In accordance with the Capital Markets Law and the rules of the CNV, our board of directors has 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, and disclosure of accounting and financial information, (ii) management of our business risk, the management of our internal control systems, (iii) behavior and ethical conduct of the Company’s businesses, (iv) monitoring the sufficiency of our financial statements, (v) our compliance with the laws, (vi) independence and competence of independent auditors, (vii) performance of our internal audit and the external auditors (viii) and 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.

In accordance with the applicable rules our Audit Committee must hold sessions at least with the same frequency required to the board of directors (on a three month basis).

Capital Markets Law N° 26,831 and the Rules of the CNV requires that public companies in Argentina as us must have an Audit Committee comprise of three members of the board of directors, the majority of which must be independent.

Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services with Cresud and IRSA CP

Considering that each of IRSA CP, Cresud and us have operating areas which are somewhat similar, the Board of Directors deemed it advisable to implement alternatives aimed at reducing certain fixed costs of our combined activities and to lessen their impact on operating results while seizing and optimizing the individual efficiencies of each of them in the different areas comprising the management of operations.

Legal or Arbitration Proceedings

Legal Proceedings

Operations Center in Argentina

Set forth below is a description of certain material legal proceedings to which we are a party. We are not engaged in any other material litigation or arbitration and no other material litigation or claim is known to us to be pending or threatened against us or our subsidiaries. Nevertheless, we may be involved in other litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

Puerto Retiro

On November 18, 1997, in connection with our acquisition of our subsidiary Inversora Bolívar, we indirectly acquired 35.2% of the capital stock of Puerto Retiro. Inversora Bolívar had purchased such common shares of Puerto Retiro from Redona Investments Ltd. N.V. in 1996. In 1999, we, through Inversora Bolívar, increased our interest in Puerto Retiro to 50.0% of its capital stock. On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro was served notice of a filing made by the Argentine government, through the Ministry of Defense, seeking to extend the bankruptcy of Indarsa to the Company. Upon filing of the complaint, the bankruptcy court issued an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro to dispose of, in any manner, the real property it had purchased in 1993 from Tandanor. Puerto Retiro appealed the restraining order which was confirmed by the Court on December 14, 2000.

In 1991, Indarsa had purchased 90% of Tandanor, a former government-owned company, which owned a piece of land near Puerto Madero of approximately 8 hectares, divided into two parcels: Planta 1 and 2. After the purchase of Tandanor by Indarsa, in June 1993, Tandanor sold “Planta 1” to Puerto Retiro, for a sum of US$18 million pursuant to a valuation performed by J.L. Ramos, a well-known real estate brokerage firm in Argentina. Indarsa failed to pay to the Argentine government the price for its purchase of the stock of Tandanor, and as a result the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Since the only asset of Indarsa was its holding in Tandanor, the Argentine government is seeking to extend Indarsa’s bankruptcy to other companies or individuals which, according to its view, acted as a single economic group. In particular, the Argentine government has requested the extension of Indarsa’s bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro which acquired Planta 1 from Tandanor.

The deadline for producing evidence in relation to these legal proceedings has expired. The parties have submitted their closing arguments and are awaiting a final judgment. However, the judge has delayed his decision until a final judgment in the criminal proceedings against the former Defense Minister and former directors of Indarsa has been delivered. It should be noticed, regarding the abovementioned criminal procedure, that on February 23, 2011 it was resolved to declare its expiration, and to dismiss certain defendants. However, this resolution is not final because it was appealed. We cannot give you any assurance that we will prevail in this proceeding, and if the plaintiff’s claim is upheld by the courts, all of the assets of Puerto Retiro would likely be used to pay Indarsa’s debts and our investment in Puerto Retiro, would be lost. As of June 30, 2016, we had not established any reserve with respect of this contingency.

175

Tandanor has filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro and the people charged in the referred criminal case looking forward to be reimbursed from all the losses which have arose upon the fraud committed. On March 7, 2015 Puerto Retiro responded filing certain preliminary objections, such as prescription or limitation, lack of information to respond the lawsuit, lack of legitimacy (active and passive). On July 12, 2016 Puerto Retiro was legally notified of the decision adopted by the Tribunal Oral Federal N° 5 related to the preliminary objections above mentioned. Two of them were rejected –lack of information and lack of legitimacy (passive). We filed an appeal with regard to the rejection of these two objections. But, on the other hand, the other two objections will be studied at the moment of deliver the sentence, which is an important step in order to obtain a favorable decision.

Legal issues with the City Hall of Neuquén

In June 2001, Shopping Neuquén requested that the City of Neuquén allow it to transfer certain parcels of land to third parties so that each participant in the commercial development to be constructed would be able to build on its own land. Neuquén’s Executive Branch previously rejected this request under Executive Branch Decree N° 1437/2002 which also established the expiration of the rights arising from Ordinance 5178 due to not building the shopping center in time, including the loss of the land and of any improvement and expenses incurred. As a result, Shopping Neuquén had no right to claim indemnity charges and annulled its buy-sell land contracts.

Shopping Neuquén submitted a written appeal to this decision on January 21, 2003. It also sought permission to submit a revised schedule of time terms for the construction of the shopping center, taking into account the economic situation at that time and including reasonable short and medium term projections. Neuquén’s Executive Branch rejected this request in their Executive Branch Decree 585/2003. Consequently, on June 25, 2003, Shopping Neuquén filed an “Administrative Procedural Action” with the High Court of Neuquén requesting, among other things, the annulment of Executive Branch Decrees 1,437/2002 and 585/2003 issued by the City Executive Branch. On December 21, 2004, the High Court of Neuquén communicated its decision that the administrative procedural action that Shopping Neuquén had filed against the City of Neuquén had expired. Shopping Neuquén filed an extraordinary appeal for the case to be sent to the Argentine Supreme Court.

On December 13, 2006, while the case was under study in the Argentine Supreme Court, Shopping Neuquén signed an agreement with both the City and the Province of Neuquén that put an end to the lawsuit between them and stipulated a new timetable for construction of the commercial and housing enterprises (the “Agreement”). Also, Shopping Neuquén was permitted to transfer certain parcels to third parties so that each participant in the commercial development to be constructed would be able to build on its own land, with the exception of the land in which the shopping center would be constructed. The Legislative Council of the City of Neuquén duly ratified the Agreement. The City Executive Branch promulgated the ordinance issued on February 12, 2007.

Shopping Neuquén came to an agreement and paid all of the City’s lawyers, including pending fees contested in court.

Shopping Neuquén finished the construction and opened the shopping center in March, 2015, obtaining also all necessary provincial and city authorizations for it.

Arcos del Gourmet

In December 2011, IRSA Commercial Properties started to develop, through our subsidiary Arcos, the “Arcos” project located in the neighborhood of Palermo, City of Buenos Aires. On December 10, 2013, Administrative and Tax Contentious Court of Appeal of the City of Buenos Aires ratified an injunction that suspends the opening of the shopping center on the grounds that it has failed to obtain certain government permits. Despite the fact that the construction has all government permits in place, IRSA Commercial Properties has filed an appeal against the decision and have requested that the injunction be lifted. In such sense, on April 10, 2014, the government of the City of Buenos Aires issued a new environmental compliance certificate. IRSA Commercial Properties obtained a favorable decision on this case based on procedural grounds. Notwithstanding, the plaintiff appealed this decision, and the file was placed on the Court of Appeal on September 23, 2014.

On the other hand, there is another judicial process entitled “Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y Otros c/ Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires s/ Amparo”. On August 29, 2014 the lower court rendered a decision rejecting the case. This resolution was appealed but afterwards, was confirmed in December, 2014. Therefore, on December 18th, 2014, the “Arcos” Project was opened to the public, operating normally nowadays. Notwithstanding, the plaintiff appeared before the Superior Court of the City of Buenos Aires to request the review of the case based on the constitutional’s matters involved. The Court has not rendered a decision yet.

176

Moreover, on May 18th, 2015 IRSA Commercial Properties was notified of the revocation of the Agreement for the Reorganization for Use and Exploitation Nº AF000261 (“Contrato de Readecuación de Concesión de Uso y Explotación NºAF000261”) issued by the Agency for the Management of the State Assets (“Agencia de Administración de Bienes del Estado” or “AABE”) through Resolution Nº 170/2014. This Resolution was not enacted due to breach of contract by Arcos del Gourmet nor it has implied up to the date of this annual report the interruption of the economic exploitation neither of the functioning of the shopping center that IRSA Commercial Properties operate there. IRSA Commercial Properties has filed the proper administrative and judicial motions to revoke the Resolution and as of the date of this annual report these proceedings are ongoing.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the “Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires” has filed a motion opposing of the injuction. On March 17, 2015 this request was rejected. As a consequence, it has filed an appeal, remain pending.

Other Litigation

As of July 5, 2006, the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (“AFIP”) filed a preliminary injunction with the Federal Court for Administrative Proceedings against IRSA Commercial Properties for an aggregate amount of Ps.3.7 million, plus an added amount, provisionally estimated, of Ps.0.9 million for legal fees and interest. The main dispute is about the income tax due for admission rights. In the first instance, AFIP pleaded for a general restraining order. On November 29, 2006, the Federal Court issued an order substituting such restraining order for an attachment on the parcel of land located in Caballito neighborhood, City of Buenos Aires, where IRSA Commercial Properties is planning to develop a shopping center. As of June 30, 2011, under court proceedings, the building was subject to a legal attachment for Ps.36.8 million. On December 12, 2012, the legal attachment was lifted and accredited in the file concerned in February 2013.

After we sold the Edificio Costeros, dique II, on November 20, 2009, we requested an opinion to the Argentine Antitrust Authority as to whether it was necessary to report this transaction. The Argentine Antitrust Authority advise us that it was required to notify the transaction. We challenged this decision, but it was confirmed. On December 5, 2011, we notified the transaction and on April 30, 2013 the transaction was approved by the Argentine Antitrust Authority by Resolution No 38, as a result of that this legal proceeding was concluded.

On January 15, 2007 we were notified of two claims filed against us before the Argentine Antitrust Authority, one by a private individual and the other one by the licensee of the shopping center, both opposing the acquisition from the province of Córdoba of a property known as Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos. On February 1, 2007 we responded the claims. On June 26, 2007, the Argentine Antitrust Authority notified us that it has initiated a summary proceeding to determine whether the completion of the transaction breaches the Antitrust Law. As of the date of this filing the result of this proceeding has not been determined.

On December 3, 2009, IRSA Commercial Properties filed a request for the Argentine Antitrust Authority’s opinion regarding IRSA Commercial Properties’ acquisition of common shares of Arcos del Gourmet S.A. The Argentine Antitrust Authority advised the parties that the transaction has to be notified. On December, 2010 the transaction was filed with the Argentine Antitrust Authority. As of the date of this annual report, the decision of the Argentine Antitrust Authority is still pending.

On April 11, 2011, Quality Invest requested the Argentine Antitrust Authority opinion regarding Quality’s acquisition Property of a warehouse owned by Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y F. located in San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires. The Argentine Antitrust Authority stated that there was an obligation to notify the situation, but Quality Invest filed an appeal against this decision. Subsequently, the Court of Appeals confirmed the Argentine Antitrust Authorities’ decision regarding the obligation to notify and, therefore, on February 23, 2012, the transaction was filed. As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine Antitrust Authority is analyzing this decision.

On august 23, 2011, IRSA Commercial Properties notified the Argentine Antitrust Authority the direct and indirect acquisition of common shares of NPSF, the transaction involved the direct acquisition of 33.33% of NPSF and 16.66% through our controlled vehicle Torodur S.A. As of the date of this annual report the transaction is being analyzed by the Argentine Antitrust Authority.

On June 16, 2012, we sold to Cabaña Don Francisco S.A. certain Costeros Dique IV’s functional units, to be used for office space, and complementary units to be used for parking. In addition, we assigned upon the purchaser all rights and interests arising from lease agreements involving the conveyed units. As a result, an advisory opinion was requested from the Argentine Antitrust Authority as to the need to report such transaction. The Argentine Antitrust Authority resolved that the transaction was exempt from report on May 21, 2014, so this legal process was finished.

177

On December 7, 2012, we filed with the Argentine Antitrust Authority the adquisition of EHSA, which has the beneficial ownership of 50% of La Rural S.A That company runs an exposition center known as Predio Ferial de Palermo. As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine Antitrust Authority is analyzing the transaction.

Through the issuance of Resolution N° 16,521 dated February 17, 2011 the CNV commenced a summary proceeding against the members of IRSA’s board of directors and its supervisory committee members (all of them at that time, including among others Eduardo S. Elsztain), alleging certain formal errors in the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book, specifically the failure by the Company to comply with certain formalities in the presentation of a table included in the Memoria (annual report); arising from an investigation carried out by the CNV in October 2010. Applicable law requires that the corrections of any errors in the annual report include a legend identifying each error and the way in which it was corrected, including insertion of the holographic signature from the chairman of the board. In this case, we first corrected the mistake and after the request from the CNV included the legend and the holographic signature of the chairman, required by the relevant formalities.

IRSA’s response to the CNV’s allegations containing the arguments for the defense was filed in March 2011 and the first hearing was held in May 2011. In April, 2013, the CNV imposed (as a result of the aforementioned alleged charge) a fine on the members of IRSA’s board of directors and its supervisory committee members. The fine imposed by the CNV amounts to Ps.270,000 equivalent to US$49,632 and it was imposed against IRSA and the members of the board together. The amount of the fine demonstrates the immaterial nature of the alleged violations. Even though the fine was paid, in April 2013, IRSA appealed such resolution, which is still ongoing in Court Room N° IV of the National Chamber of Appeals in Federal Administrative Procedures (Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Contencioso Administrativo Federal).

Class actions in the United States

On May 9, 2016, a putative shareholder class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against IRSA, certain of its officers and directors, and Cresud. The complaint asserts violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of persons that purchased IRSA’s American Depositary Receipts between November 3, 2014 and December 30, 2015, and alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omissions relating to IRSA’s investment in IDBD. More specifically, the complaint alleges that IRSA’s disclosures during that time period misrepresented and failed to disclose that (1) IDBD’s US$6.7 billion net debt should have been consolidated in IRSA’s financial statements and (2) as so consolidated, IRSA’s debt would violate the covenants specified in IRSA’s Global Notes Indenture.

These class actions were transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on July 14, 2016, and were referred to Judge Vernon S. Broderick on July 19, 2016. In each action, a putative class representative has filed a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff and to appoint class counsel. Both such motions remain pending before the Court. Defendants believe that there is no merit to the claims alleged and intend to vigorously defend these actions. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in defending these claims.

Operations Center in Israel

Litigation against IDB

In recent years there has been an increasing trend of filing derivative and class action claims in the area of corporate and securities laws in Israel. While taking into account such issues and the financial position of IDB and its holding structure, claims in considerable amounts may be filed against IDB, including in connection with its financial position and cash flows, with offerings that it makes, and transactions that were carried out or not completed, including with regards to the contentions and claims of the controlling shareholders that took place in IDB.

Arbitration proceedings relating to the obtainment of control in IDBD.

On May 7, 2014, a transaction was agreed whereby the Company, acting indirectly through Dolphin, acquired jointly with ETH (a non-related company established under the laws of the State of Israel, which was presented to Dolphin as a company controlled by Mordechay Ben Moshé), an aggregate number of 106.6 million common shares in IDBD, representing 53.30% of its stock capital, under the scope of the debt restructuring Arrangement of IDBH, IDBD's parent company, with its creditors.

Under the terms of the agreement entered into between Dolphin and ETH (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”), Dolphin acquired 50% interest in this investment, and ETH acquired the remaining 50%. The initial total investment amount was NIS 950, equivalent to approximately US$272 at the exchange rate prevailing on that date.

On May 28, 2015, ETH launched the BMBY mechanism provided in the Shareholders’ Agreement (clause which establishes that each party of the Shareholders' Agreement may offer to the counterparty to acquire (or sell, as the case may be), the shares it holds in IDBD at a fixed price). In addition, ETH further added that the purchaser thereunder required to assume all obligations of seller.

178

On June 10 and 11, 2015, Dolphin gave notice to ETH of its intention to buy all the shares of IDBD held by ETH.

After certain aspects of the offer were resolved through an arbitration process brought by Dolphin and ETH, on September 24, 2015, the competent arbitrator resolved that: (i) Dolphin and IFISA (related company to the Company) were entitled to act as buyers in the BMBY process, and ETH had to sell all of the IDBD shares held by it (92,665,925 shares) at a price of NIS 1.64 per share; (ii) The buyer had to fulfill all of the commitments included in the Arrangement, including the commitment to carry out Tender Offers; (iii) The buyer had to pledge in favor of the Arrangement Trustees the shares that were previously pledged in favor of the Arrangement Trustees by the seller.

On October 11, 2015, the BMBY process concluded, and IFISA acquired all IDBD's shares of stock held by ETH. Consequently, the Shareholders' Agreement ceased and members of IDBD's Board of Directors representing ETH submitted their irrevocable resignation to the Board, therefore Dolphin was hence empowered to appoint the new members to the Board. Additionally, on the same date, Dolphin pledged additional shares as collateral to secure compliance with the IDBD stock purchase agreement, thereby increasing the number of pledged shares to 64,067,710. As a consequence, the Company gained control of IDBD and started to consolidate financial statements as from that date.

In addition to the competent arbitrator’s decision issued on September 24, 2015, ETH and Dolphin still have counterclaims of different kinds which are subject to such arbitration proceeding. As of the filing date of this Annual Report, the proceeding is still being heard.

Litigation against Clal Insurance and its subsidiaries

This exposure is especially high in the areas of long-term savings and long-term health insurance in which Clal Insurance operates, inter alia, in view of the fact that in these areas the policies were issued decades ago, while at present, after significant changes in the regulatory environment and against the background of developments in legal precedent and the Israeli authority’s position, the same policies may be interpreted differently, retrospectively, and may be subjected to different interpretation standards than those that were customary at the time that the policies were made. Moreover, in these areas the policies are valid for dozens of years and, therefore, there is a risk that in those cases in which a customer’s claim is accepted and a new interpretation is given to the policy, the future profitability of Clal Insurance in respect of the existing policy portfolio will also be affected. This is in addition to the possible compensation that could be given to the customers due to past activity.

Alongside these aspects, during 2015 amendments were made to reflect a significant reform in the field of approving an insurance program which allows the Israeli authority, under certain conditions, to order the insurer to stop introducing an insurance policy or to order an insurer to make a change to an insurance policy, even with regard to policies that have already been marketed by the insurer. It is not possible to foresee to what extent insurers are exposed to claims in connection with the provisions of the policy, the manner of implementing the Israeli authority’s powers pursuant to the insurance policy reform and its implications, which may be raised, inter alia, by means of the procedural mechanism provided in the Israeli Class Actions Law.

There are claims that have been recognized as class action suits, claims for which there are pending motions to have them certified as class action suits, and other claims which are immaterial. These claims include mainly claims of improper actions, not in accordance with laws, licenses or breaches of agreements with customers or performance of tort damages toward customers (especially misleading a customer, or a negligent misrepresentation), causing damage, either monetary or non-monetary, to customers. A significant amount of these claims also include claims of charging excessive premiums and payment of lower than called for insurance compensation. In addition, there are pending motions to have claims certified as derivative actions.

Sale of shares of Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd

On August 21, 2013, on the background of concerns about the ability of the previous controlling shareholders of IDBD (Dankner group) to meet the requirements to have control over an insurance company, set forth by the Commissioner of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings (which is a division within the Ministry of Finance of Israel; the "Commissioner"), the Commissioner required that IDBD transfer 51% of the shares in Clal to Mr. Moshe Terry ("the Trustee") and to grant the Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney with regard to the voting of such shares in Clal.

On November 27, 2013, and as part of the debt arrangement In IDB Holdings Corporation Ltd., the Commissioner set forth an outline to enable the change of control in IDBD (as part of the debt arrangement), whereby the Commissioner would not view such change of control as being a breach of the Supervision of Financial Services (Insurance) Law, 1981 (the "Insurance Law"), subject to certain conditions, including terms whereby if until 31.12.2014 a control permit for Clal Insurance will not be obtained for the new controlling shareholders in IDBD, or, that an agreement for the sale of the controlling stake in Clal Insurance will not have been signed, then the Trustee will be authorized to sell the Clal Insurance shares that the Trustee holds. Both groups that had submitted proposals in the debt arrangement process (including the Dolphin group) approved such outline.

On December 30, 2014, the Commissioner sent an additional letter setting a term by which IDBD’s control over and equity interests in Clal were to be sold and giving directions as to the Trustee’s continuity in office, among other aspects.

The sale arrangement outlined in the letter involves IDBD’s and the Trustee’s interests in the sale process under different options and timeframes. As of June 30, 2016, the current sale arrangement involved the sale of the interest, as per the following detail and by the following dates:

a. IDBD would have to sell at least 5% of its equity interest in Clal per each 4 month period beginning as of January 7, 2016.

b. During each of the subsequent four-month periods, IDBD would have to sell at least an additional 5% of its equity interest in Clal.

IDBD would be required to continue to sell all of its holdings in Clal apart for such holdings that do not require a permit pursuant to applicable law, or, alternatively, such holdings that IDBD will be permitted to hold pursuant to applicable law.

In case IDBD does not fulfill its obligation in the manner described in the above paragraph the Trustee would be entitled to act upon the specified arrangement in lieu of IDBD, pursuant to all powers that had been vested under the representations of the trust letter. The consideration for the sale would be transferred to IDBD, with the expenses incurred in the sale process to be solely borne by IDBD.

On May 7 ,2016 the Commissioner requested that the Trustee act to sell 5% of the shares of Clal Insurance according to the December 30, 2014 letter. IDBD has objected to such sale, and notified the Trustee that in case the Trustee shall sell shares then IDBD will consider claiming against the Trustee for damages. As a result, on July 13, 2016 the Trustee applied to the Tel Aviv District Court to obtain instruction on whether and how to sell such 5% of Clal Insurance shares.

On May 26, 2016 IDBD's board decided to commence a competitive process for the sale of a control stake in Clal. Following such decision, on July 1, 2016 IDBD entered into an agreement with JP Morgan to serve as an investment bank on behalf of IDBD for the sale of a control stake in Clal.

In addition, in June 2015, an application for a Israeli court to approve the commencement of a class action against IDBD, IDBD’s directors (some of which are also our directors), Dolphin Netherlands B.V. and C.A.A Extra Holdings Ltd. was filed by individuals who argue that IDBD’s controlling shareholders and board of directors acted in concert to frustrate the sale of shares of Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd (or Clal) to JT Capital Fund. The applicants argue that this caused them material damages as under the terms of the debt restructuring of IDBD’s holding company, IDB Holdings Corporation Ltd. with its creditors, they would have been entitled to receive a larger payment had the above mentioned sale been consummated. Furthermore, they allege that the 2014 and 2015 rights offerings of IDBD discriminated against the minority shareholders. On March 21, 2016, the respondents filed a motion to dismiss this class action application. On June 2, 2016, the Court partially accepted this motion, and ordered the applicants to file an amended class action application that would include only the arguments and remedies with respect to the said Clal transaction. On August 2, 2016, the respondents filed a motion to appeal (regarding the decision not to dismiss the arguments concerning the Clal transaction) and, on August 14, 2016, the applicants filed an appeal (regarding the decision to dismiss the arguments concerning the rights offering) both before the Israeli Supreme Court. As of the date of this annual report, the Supreme Court has decided that the motion to appeal and the appeal will be heard jointly, and has ordered a stay of the procedings.

Dividend Policy

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

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

5% to our legal reserve, up 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;

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.

C. Markets

Argentine Securities Markets

In December 2012 the Argentine government has enacted a new Capital Markets Law, which sets out the rules to govern capital markets, its players, and the securities traded therein subject to the CNV regulation and monitoring.

183

On September 5, 2013, the CNV has enacted the CNV Rules, by virtue of which it regulates the new provisions of the Capital Markets Law for issuers of securities, in regard to the initial public offering and reporting duties.

Almost all the provisions of the former Decree No.677/2011 (the “Transparency Decree”) have been incorporated in the Capital Markets Law and in the CNV Rules. The Capital Markets Law provides rules and provisions guided by the following goals and principles:

● Promoting the participation of small investors, union associations, industry groups and trade associations, professional associations and all public savings entities in the capital market, particularly encouraging mechanisms designed to promote domestic savings and channel such funds towards the development of production;

● Strengthening mechanisms for the protection of and prevention of abuses against small investors for the protection of consumers’ rights;

● Promoting access of small and medium-sized companies to the capital market;

● Fostering the creation of a federally integrated capital market through mechanisms designed to achieve an interconnection of computer systems from different trading markets, with the use of state-of-the-art technology;

● Encouraging simpler trading procedures available to users to attain greater liquidity and competitiveness in order to provide the most favorable conditions for the implementation of transactions.

The CNV is a self-administered agency of the Argentine Government with jurisdiction covering the territory of Argentina, governed by the provisions of the Capital Markets Law, and the CNV Rules among other related statutory regulations. The relationship of the CNV and the Argentine Executive is maintained through the Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas Públicas (Ministry of Economy and Public Finance), which shall hear any appeals filed against decisions made by the CNV, notwithstanding any other legal actions and remedies contemplated in the Capital Markets Law.

The CNV supervises and regulates the authorized markets in which the securities and the collective investment products are traded, the corporations authorized in the public offer regime, and all the other players authorized to operate in the public offer regime, as the registered agents, the trading agents, the financial advisors, the underwriters and distributors, the brokers, the settlement and clearing agents, the managers of collective investment products, the custodians of collective investment products, the collective depositories, and the risk rating agencies, among others. Argentine institutional investors and insurance companies are regulated by separate government agencies, whereas financial institutions are regulated mainly by the Central Bank.

Before offering securities to the public in Argentina, an issuer must meet certain requirements established by the CNV with regard to the issuer’s assets, operating history and management. Only securities approved for a public offering by the CNV may be listed on a stock exchange. However, CNV approval does not imply any kind of certification as to the quality of the securities or the solvency of the issuer, even though issuers of listed securities are required to file unaudited quarterly financial statements and audited annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB (excluding financial institutions under the supervision of the Central Bank, insurance companies under the supervision of the Insurance Superintendence and medium and small enterprises) and various other periodic reports with the CNV and the stock exchange on which their securities are listed, as well as to report to the CNV and the relevant stock exchange any event related to the issuer and its shareholders that may affect materially the value of the securities traded.

In Argentina, debt and equity securities traded on an exchange must, unless otherwise instructed by their shareholders, be deposited with a Central Securities Depository, in Argentina. Currently the only depositary authorized to act in accordance with the Capital Markets Law and CNV Rules is Caja de Valores S.A. a corporation owned by the BCBA, the MVBA and certain provincial exchange, and provides central depositary facilities, as well as acting as a clearinghouse for securities trading and as a transfer and paying agent for securities transactions.

Before the enactment of the Capital Markets Law and the CNV Rules there were 12 securities exchanges in Argentina, which were located in the City of Buenos Aires, Bahía Blanca, Chaco, Corrientes, Córdoba, La Plata, La Rioja, Mendoza, Rosario, Salta, Santa Fe, and Tucumán. Six of these exchanges (the BASE, Rosario, Córdoba, La Rioja, Mendoza, and Santa Fe) had affiliated stock markets in accordance with the requirements of Law No.17,811 which was derogated by the Capital Markets Law.

184

Pursuant to the Capital Markets Law, the CNV has authorized 6 stock markets since September 2014, which are: Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. (“MAE”), Mercado a Término de Buenos Aires S.A., Mercado a Término de Rosario S.A., MVBA., Mercado de Valores de Córdoba S.A. y Mercado Argentino de Valores S.A.

The principal exchange for the Argentine securities market under the previous legislation was the BCBA. Under the new Capital Markets Law the BCBA has been authorized to operate as qualified entity, under the appointment of the MVBA. As a result of the foregoing, the MVBA is currently the principal exchange market in Argentina in which the securities are listed.

The MVBA is a corporation consisting of 183 shareholders who used to be the sole and exclusive individuals or entities authorized to trade in the MVBA, either as principals or agents, before Capital Markets Law became into force. Since then, all agents registered and authorized to act as intermediaries by the CNV will be able to trade in any securities exchange, including the BCBA as long as they obtain a membership of such stock exchange, not applying any longer the requirements to be a shareholder of such stock exchange.

The securities that may be listed on the MVBA are: stocks, corporate bonds, convertible corporate bonds, close-ended investment funds, financial trust, indexes, derivatives and public bonds. The MVBA is legally qualified for admission, suspension, and delisting of securities according to its own rules approved by the CNV.

Another relevant exchange of the securities market in Argentina is the MAE, which was recently authorized to operate by the CNV under the new regulations. The MAE works as an electronic platform to process Over the Counter transactions. It is an electronic exchange where both government securities and corporate bonds are traded through spot and forward contracts. MAE brokers/dealers members, include national banks, provincial banks, municipal banks, private national banks, foreign banks, cooperative banks, financial institutions, foreign exchange entities and pure brokers/dealers (exclusively engaged in brokerage activities). Both Argentine or foreign capital banks and financial institutions may be the MAE’s brokers/dealers. Securities to be traded must be registered with the pertinent supervising authorities and may be traded in the MAE, in other exchanges or in both of them concurrently.

Argentina’s equity markets have historically been composed of individual investors, though in recent years there has been an increase in the level of investment by banks and insurance companies in these markets; however, Argentine mutual funds (fondos comunes de inversión) continue to have very low participation.

(1) During the month of June.

Although companies may list all of their capital stock on the MVBA, in many cases a controlling block is retained by the principal shareholders resulting in only a relatively small percentage of many companies’ stock being available for active trading by the public on the MVBA. As of June 30, 2016, approximately 100 companies had equity securities listed on the MVBA. The Argentine securities markets are substantially more volatile than the securities markets in the United States and certain other developed countries. The Merval Index experienced a 30.1% decrease in 2011, a 15.9% increase in 2012, a 88.9% increase in 2013, a 59.1% increase in 2014, a 36.1% increase in 2015 and a 25.8%increase during the six months of 2016. In order to control price volatility, the MVBA operates a system pursuant to which the negotiation of a particular stock or debt security is suspended for a 15 minute period when the price of the security registers a variation on its price between 10% and 15% and between 15% and 20%. Any additional 5% variation on the price of the security after that results in additional 10 minute successive suspension periods.

Our legal name is IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima. We were incorporated under the laws of Argentina on April 30, 1943 as a sociedad anónima (stock corporation) and were registered with the Public Registry of Commerce of the City of Buenos Aires (Inspección General de Justicia or “IGJ”) on June 23, 1943 under number 284, on page 291, book 46 of volume A. Pursuant to our by-laws, our term of duration expires on April 5, 2043.

Invest, develop and operate personal property, including securities;

Construct and operate works, services and public property;

Board of Directors

Voting on proposals in which directors have material interest

shall not be allowed to make use of any corporate assets or confidential information for his/her own private purposes;

shall not be allowed to profit or permit a third party to profit, whether by an action or an omission to act, from any business opportunities available to the company;

shall be required to exercise any powers conferred to them solely for the purposes for which they were conferred under the law or the corporate bylaws or by a shareholders’ meeting or the board of directors;

shall be required to meticulously ensure that no conflict of interest, whether direct or indirect, shall under any circumstances arise between his/her actions and the company’s interests.

In case of doubt as to a director’s compliance with his/her duty of loyalty, the burden of proof shall be borne by such person.

The Argentine Corporations Law establishes in Section 271 that directors may enter into agreements with the company, that concern the business in which the company engages, always provided that they are entered into under market conditions. The agreements that do not fulfill the requirements mentioned above may only be executed with the prior approval of the board of directors.

Furthermore, the Capital Markets Law (as defined below) in Section 72 states for companies authorized in the public offer regime, that any acts performed or contracts executed between the company and a related party and involving a significant amount shall be performed or executed pursuant to the procedure set forth below:

186

a) A “related party” shall mean any of the following persons with respect to the issuer:

Directors, members of the supervisory body or surveillance committee, as well as chief executive officers or special managers of the issuing company appointed under section 270 of Argentine Corporation Law;

ii.

Natural persons or legal entities controlling or holding a substantial interest, as determined by the CNV, in the capital stock of the issuer or the issuer’s controlling entity;

iii.

Any other company under the common control of the same controlling entity;

iv.

The ascendants, descendants, spouses or siblings of any of the natural persons referred to in paragraphs i) and ii) above;

Companies in which any of the persons referred to in paragraphs i) to iv) above hold a significant direct or indirect interest. Provided none of the circumstances described above is present, a subsidiary of the issuer shall not be deemed a “related party”.

b) A “significant amount” shall be deemed involved in an act or contract when such amount exceeds 1% of the company’s shareholders’ equity as shown in the most recently approved balance sheet.

The board of directors or any members thereof shall request the audit committee to state whether in its opinion the terms of a transaction may be reasonably deemed adapted to regular and usual market conditions. The audit committee shall issue its pronouncement within 5 business days.

Notwithstanding the above inquiry from the audit committee, a resolution may be adopted by the company on the basis of a report from 2 independent evaluation companies, which shall express their opinion on the same matter and other terms of the transaction.

Nevertheless that, Section 272 of the Argentine Corporations Law provides that when a director has an opposite interest to the one of the company, he or she should notify that situation to the board of directors and the supervisory committee and abstain to vote in that respect. The violation of this provision results in the director being jointly and severally unlimitedly liable.

Approval of compensation of the members of the Board of Directors, Senior Management and Supervisory Committee

Our bylaws do not establish the compensation to be paid to members of the board of directors and the supervisory committee, and therefore pursuant to Section 261 of the Argentine Corporations Law N°19,550, it should be approved by the shareholders. The maximum amount that may be paid as compensation to members of the board of directors and the supervisory committee should not exceed 25% of the realized and net earnings of the company and 5% when there is no distribution of dividends. If the company does not distribute the total earnings, the amount of the compensation should be proportional to that distribution and within the mentioned limits. These limits may only be surpassed by express approval of the shareholders.

Powers of directors

Our bylaws establish, in Section 18, that the board of directors has full and broad powers to organize, manage and direct us to fulfilling the corporate purpose.

Retirement of directors

Our bylaws do not establish any requirements or provisions regarding age limits for director’s retirement, nor do they require a number of common shares a director must own to qualify for the position.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is allowed to celebrate their meetings using teleconference technology. An absolute majority of the directors will constitute the quorum. Only the directors physically present at the time and those using teleconference technologies will be taken into consideration for the quorum. The resolutions of the Board of Directors will be passed by the vote of the majority present at the meeting.

Rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to the common shares

Dividend rights

The Corporations Law establishes that the distribution and payment of dividends to shareholders is valid only if they result from realized and net earnings of the company pursuant to an annual financial statements approved by the shareholders. The approval, amount and payment of dividends is subject to the approval of our annual ordinary shareholders meeting of the company. That approval requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the present votes with right to vote at the meeting.

187

Pursuant to the Corporations Law and Section 28 of our bylaws, liquid and realized profits of each fiscal year shall be distributed as follows:

allocate 5% of such net profits to legal reserve, until the amount of such reserve equals 20% of the capital stock;

the sum established by the shareholders’ meeting as remuneration of the of Directors and the supervisory committee;

dividends, additional dividends to preferred shares if any, or to optional reserve funds or contingency reserves or to a new account, or for whatever purpose the shareholders’ meeting determines.

Dividends are paid pro rata according to the interests held by shareholders within thirty days after approval and the right to collection expires upon the expiration of a term of three years since they were made available to shareholders.

The shareholders’ meeting may authorize payment of dividends on a quarterly basis provided no applicable regulations are violated. In that case, all and each of the members of the Board of Directors and the supervisory committee will be jointly and severally liable for the refund of those dividends if, as of the end of the respective fiscal year, the realized and net earnings of the company are not sufficient to allow the payment of dividends.

Voting rights and staggered elections

Our stock capital is composed by book-entry common shares with face value of Ps.1 per share and entitled to one vote each. All directors and alternate directors are elected for a three-year term.

Our by laws do not consider staggered elections.

Rights to share in IRSA’s profits

The holders of our common shares have the right to participate in our net and realized profits on a pro rata basis of their respective interests.

Pursuant to the Corporations Law and Section 29 of our bylaws, liquidated and realized profits of each fiscal year shall be distributed as follows:

allocate 5% of such net profits to legal reserve, until the amount of such reserve equals 20% of our capital stock;

the sum established by the shareholders’ meeting as remuneration of the board of Directors and the supervisory committee; and

dividends, additional dividends to preferred shares if any, or to optional reserve funds or contingency reserves or to a new account, or for whatever purpose the shareholders determine at the shareholders’ meeting.

Rights to share in any surplus in the event of liquidation

In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, our assets are:

to be applied to satisfy our liabilities; and

to be proportionally distributed among holders of preferred stock in accordance with the terms of the preferred stock. If any surplus remains, our shareholders are entitled to receive and share proportionally in all net assets available for distribution to our shareholders, subject to the order of preference established by our by-laws.

Provisions related to a shareholder’s ownership of certain amount of common shares

Section 9 of our by-laws provides that the acquisition by any person or group, directly or indirectly of our common shares, convertible securities, rights to receive any of those securities that may grant that person the control of our company or 35% or more of our capital stock may only be done by complying with certain tender offer rules for all of our common shares, except for:

acquisitions by persons holding or controlling common shares or convertible securities in accordance to Decree N° 677/2001, supersede by Law N° 26,831, notwithstanding the provisions of the Comisión Nacional de Valores ; and

holdings of more than 35%, which derive from the distribution of common shares or dividends paid in shares approved by the shareholders, or the issuance of common shares as a result of a merger approved by the shareholders; in both cases, the excess holding shall be disposed of within 180 days of its registration in the relevant shareholder’s account, or prior to the holding of our shareholders meeting, whatever occurs first.

Our shareholders modified the first of the above exceptions in their shareholder meeting on October 10, 2007, to include the control concept under the Transparency Decree, which provides for the effective control regularly held in addition to the legal control.

188

Directors, senior managers, executive officers, members of the supervisory committee, and controlling shareholders of an Argentine company whose securities are publicly listed, should notify the CNV on a monthly basis, of their beneficial ownership of common shares, debt securities, and call and put options related to securities of such companies and their controlling, controlled or affiliated companies.

In addition, the CNV must be immediately notified of transactions which cause a person’s holdings of capital stock of an Argentine company whose securities are publicly listed to hold 5% or more of the voting power and of every change in the holdings of such person that represents a multiple of 5% of the voting power. Holders of more than 50% of the common shares of a company or who otherwise have voting control of a company, as well as directors, officers and members of the supervisory committee, must provide the CNV with annual reports setting forth their holdings in the capital stock of such companies and monthly reports of any change in their holdings.

Procedure to change the rights of stockholders

The rights of holders of stock are established in the Argentine Corporations Law and in the bylaws. The rights of shareholders provided for by the Argentine Corporations Law may not be diminished by the bylaws. Section 235 of the Argentine Corporations Law establishes that the amendment of the bylaws should be approved by the absolute majority of our shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders meeting.

Ordinary and extraordinary shareholders’ meetings

Our by-laws provide that shareholders’ meetings may be called by our board of directors or by our Supervisory Committee or at the request of the holders of common shares representing no less than 5% of the common shares. Any meetings called at the request of shareholders must be held within 30 days after the request is made. Any shareholder may appoint any person as its duly authorized representative at a shareholders meeting, by granting a proxy. Co-owners of common shares must have single representation.

In general, the following matters can be considered only at a special shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria):

matters that may not be approved at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting;

the amendment of our by-laws;

reductions in our share capital;

redemption, reimbursement and amortization of our shares;

mergers, and other corporate changes, including dissolution and winding-up;

limitations or suspensions to preemptive rights to the subscription of the new shares; and

issuance of debentures, convertible negotiable obligations and bonds that not qualify as notes (obligaciones negociables).

In addition, pursuant to the Capital Markets Law, at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting, our shareholders must consider (i) the disposition of, or creation of any lien over, our assets as long as such decision has not been performed under the ordinary course of business; (ii) the execution of administration or management agreements; and (iii) whether to approve the payment of any agreement providing assets or services to us as long as such payment is material when measured against the volume of the ordinary course of business and our shareholders’ equity.

In accordance with our by-laws, ordinary and special shareholders’ meetings (asamblea extraordinaria) are subject to a first and second quorum call, the second to occur upon the failure of the first. The first and second notice of ordinary shareholders’ meetings may be made simultaneously. In the event that both are made on the same day, the second must occur at least one hour after the first. If simultaneous notice was not given, the second notice must be given within 30 days after the failure to reach quorum at the first. Such notices must be given in compliance with applicable regulations.

A quorum for an ordinary shareholders’ meeting on the first call requires the presence of a number of shareholders holding a majority of the common shares entitled to vote and, on the second call, the quorum consists of the number of shareholders present, whatever that number. Decisions at ordinary shareholders’ meetings must be approved by a majority of the votes validly exercised by the shareholders.

A quorum for a special shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) on the first call requires the presence of persons holding 60% of the shares entitled to vote and, on the second call, the quorum consists of the number of shareholders present, whatever that number. Decisions at special shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) generally must be approved by a majority of the votes validly exercised.

189

However, pursuant to the Argentine Corporations Law, all shareholders’ meetings, whether convened on a first or second quorum call, require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares with right to vote in order to approve the following decisions:

advanced winding-up of the company;

transfer of the domicile of the company outside of Argentina;

fundamental change in the purpose of the company;

total or partial mandatory repayment by the shareholders of the paid-in capital; and

a merger or a spin-off, when our company will not be the surviving company.

Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share. Owners of common shares represented by GDRs exercise their voting rights through the GDR Depositary, who acts upon instructions received from such shareholders and, in the absence of instructions, votes in accordance with the instructions given to the GDR Depositary by the board of directors as set forth in a written notice delivered to the GDR Depositary prior to the meeting.

The holders of preferred stock are not entitled to voting rights. However, in the event that no dividends are paid to such holders for their preferred stock, the holders of preferred stock are entitled to voting rights. Holders of preferred stock are also entitled to vote on certain special matters, such as a transformation of the corporate type, early dissolution, change to a foreign domicile, fundamental change in the corporate purposes, total or partial replacement of capital losses, mergers in which our company is not the surviving entity, and spin-offs. The same exemption will apply in the event the preferred stock is traded on any stock exchange and such trading is suspended or canceled.

Limitations to own securities by non-resident or foreign shareholders

There are no legal limitations on ownership of securities or exercise of voting rights, by non-resident or foreign shareholders. However, foreign shareholders must fulfill certain requirements with the IGJ in order to assure that they will be able to properly exercise their voting rights. General Resolution N° 7 passed in July 2015 by the IGJ with effects as of November 2015, and other related regulations set forth certain requirements for foreign entities registered with the IGJ. It provides, among other requirements, disclosure of information related to their proprietary interests in assets located outside Argentina to be at least equivalent in value to those located inside Argentina. The entities must comply with these requirements in order to (1) perform activities on a regular basis through their Argentine branches (Section 118 Argentine Corporate Law), or (2) exercise their ownership rights in Argentine Companies (Section 123 Argentine Corporate Law). In cases where the IGJ has concluded that the entities (a) do not have assets outside Argentina; or (b) have non-current assets that are not materially significant compared to those non-current assets which are owned by them and located in Argentina; or (c) the entity’s address in Argentina becomes the place where this entity makes a majority of its decisions, corporate or otherwise, the entities may be required to amend and register their by-laws to comply with Argentine law, thereby becoming an Argentine entity subject to Argentine law according to Section 124 of Argentine Corporation Law. In addition, Argentine companies with shareholders consisting of such entities that fail to comply with these requirements may be subject to the following sanctions: the IGJ may not register corporate decisions adopted by the Argentine Company when its off-shore shareholder votes as a shareholder. Any decisions made pursuant to such vote related to the approval of its annual balance sheet may be declared null and void for administrative purposes.

Ownership threshold above which ownership should be disclosed

The Rules of the CNV require that transactions, which cause a person’s holdings of capital stock of a registered Argentine company, to equal or exceed 5% of the voting power, should be immediately notified to the CNV. Thereafter, every change in the holdings that represents a multiple of 5% of the voting power should also be notified.

Directors, senior managers, executive officers, members of the supervisory committee, and controlling shareholders of an Argentine company whose securities are publicly offered, should notify the CNV on a monthly basis, of their beneficial ownership of common shares, debt securities, and call and put options related to securities of such companies and their controlling, controlled or affiliated companies.

Furthermore, the CNV must be immediately notified of transactions which cause a person’s holdings of capital stock of an Argentine company whose securities are publicly offered to equal or exceed 5% of the voting power and every change in the holdings that represents a multiple of 5% of the voting power. Holders of more than 50% of the common shares or who otherwise control decision making in shareholders’ meetings, as well as directors, officers and members of the supervisory committee must provide the CNV with annual reports of their holdings in the capital stock of such companies and monthly reports of any change in their holdings.

190

On the shareholders’ meeting held on October 25, 2007, our shareholders decided to amend the following sections of the by-laws: (i) Section Twelve in order to adapt the performance bonds granted by directors to current rules and regulations, and (ii) Section Fifteen in order to incorporate the possibility of holding remote board meetings pursuant to the provisions of section 65 of Decree 677/01. Such amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2.

On October 31, 2012, the annual shareholders meeting passed an amendment to the corporate by-laws which allowed the Board of Directors to celebrate their meetings using teleconference technology. An absolute majority of the directors will constitute the quorum. Only the directors physically present at the time and those using teleconference technologies will be taken into consideration for the quorum. The resolutions of the Board of Directors will be passed by the vote of the majority present at the meeting. Such amendment is attached hereto of Exhibit 1.3 to this annual report.

On November 14, 2014, the shareholder’s meeting decided to amend the following sections of the by-laws: (i) Section First in order to comply with the Capital Markets Law No. 26,831, and (ii) Section Twenty-Four in order to incorporate the regulation of the shareholders’ meeting held with shareholders present or communicated through teleconference technologies.

Under Decree N° 616/2005, as amended by Decree Nº. 3/2015, the Argentine government softened certain restrictions on the inflow and outflow of foreign currency into and from the Argentine exchange market, including that inflowing new indebtedness and debt renewals by persons domiciled abroad must be agreed and cancelled within periods not shorter than 120 calendar days –instead of the 365.day period as originally established-, irrespective of the method of payment. Additionally, such debt may not be prepaid before the lapse of such period.

Financial Indebtedness

Any transactions arising from financial indebtedness of the financial sector, private non-financial sector and local governments are no longer subject to be settled in the foreign exchange market. However, if settled in the foreign exchange market, then according to Decree No. 616/2005 and 3/2015, these cannot be set off before the minimum term of stay, which is 120 running days (except for bonds listed in the authorized exchange stock markets).

Formation of off-shore assets by residents with and without subsequent allocation to specific purposes

Under Communication “A” 5850, 5899 and 6037 of the Central Bank, residents shall have access to the local exchange market without prior authorization of the Central Bank in order to purchase foreign currency for the formation of off-shore assets.

Outflow of funds for payment to non-residents

According to Communication “A” 5264, amended by Communication “A” 5377 (issued on December 14, 2012) and Communication “A” 6037, there are no limits or restrictions applicable for residents who access the foreign exchange market to pay services, debts and profits to non-residents. The access to the MULC requires the filing of certain documentation by residents demonstrating the validity of transactions in which the funds are purchased for its remittance abroad.

Payment of services

As it was mentioned above, there is no restriction applicable for payments to be made to non-residents for performed services. The regulation covers all types of services without making any specifications. The financial entity shall require the filing of documentation supporting the authenticity of the transaction, the service rendered by the non-resident to the resident and the amount to be transferred abroad.

Should performed services are not related to the activities actually developed by the resident; the financial entity shall require a copy of the contract by which the payment obligation arises from and an auditor report. Such requirements intend to demonstrate the actual rendering of services to the non-resident and the existence of the debt.

Payment of rents (interest, profits and dividends)

As of January 8, 2003, Communication “A” 3859, item 3, allowed Argentine companies to transfer abroad profits and dividends related to closed financial statements certified by independent accountants without being required to obtain the prior authorization of the Central Bank. Such Communication was replaced by Communication “A” 5264, amended by Communication “A” 5377 and Communication “A” 6037.

Additionally, the payment may only proceed if the funds disbursed remain in Argentina for at least 120 calendar days, in accordance with Decree No.616/2005.

Direct Investment Reporting System

Direct Investments made in Argentina by nonresidents

Under Communication “A” 4237, the Central Bank established a reporting system in connection with direct investments and real estate investments made by nonresidents in Argentina and by residents abroad.

Nonresidents must comply every semester with the above mentioned reporting system if the amount of the investment in Argentina reaches or exceeds U.S. 500,000. If such amount is not reached, the reporting system is optional.

Direct investments made outside Argentina by Argentine residents

Argentine residents are required to meet the reporting system set forth in Communication “A” 4237 every year if the value of their investments abroad reaches or exceeds US$1.0 million and its under US$5.0 million, and every semester if it reaches or exceeds US$5.0 million.

Money Laundering

Argentine Law N° 25,246, as amended by Laws Nos.26,118, 26,268 and 26,683, categorizes money laundering as a crime, which is defined as the exchange, transfer, management, sale or any other use of money or other assets obtained through a crime, by a person who did not take part in such original crime, with the potential result that such original assets (or new assets resulting from such original assets) have the appearance of having been obtained through legitimate means. In spite of the fact that there is a specific amount for the money laundering category (Ps.300,000), the crimes committed for a lower amount are also punished, but the prison sentence is reduced.

After the enactment of Law N° 26,683, money laundering was included in the Penal Code as an independent crime against economic and financial order and it was split from the title “Concealment” as originally disposed. Therefore, money laundering is a crime which may be prosecuted independently.

The money laundering law created the Financial Information Unit (UIF). UIF is in charge of the analysis, treatment and transmission of information to prevent and impede the money laundering originating from, among others:

a) Crimes related to the traffic and illegal commercialization of drugs (Law N° 23,737)

b) Crimes related to arms traffic (Law N° 22,415);

c) Crimes related to illegal association of terrorist association

d) Crimes committed by illegal associations organized to commit crimes for political or racial purposes;

e) Crimes against Public Administration

f) Crimes of minor’s prostitution and child pornography

g) Crimes related to terrorism financing

The UIF analyzes the information received by entities that have the obligation to report suspicious activities or operations and, as the case may be, inform the Public Ministry to carry out the investigations that may be considered relevant or necessary.

193

The money laundering legal framework in Argentina also assigns information and control duties to certain private sector entities, such as banks, agents, non-profits organizations, stock exchanges, insurance companies, according to the regulations of the Financial Information Unit, and for financial entities, the Central Bank. These regulations apply to many Argentine companies, including us. These obligations consist mainly of: (i) maintaining internal policies and procedures aimed at money laundering prevention and financing of terrorism, especially through the application of the policy “know your client”; (ii) reporting any suspicious activity or operation and (iii) acting according the Money Laundering Law with respect to the confidentiality of the information obtained from the clients. For that purpose, each entity involved must appoint an officer responsible for the monitoring and control under the Money Laundering Law.

On May 8, 2009, and in its capacity as obliged subject under the rules enacted by UIF, the CNV issued Resolution N° 554 which incorporated within the exchange market many provisions aimed at comply with money laundering prevention pursuant to Law N° 25,246, as amended. In that regard, such resolution established that any entity subject to the supervision of CNV could only take part in securities transactions if they were ordered by parties that were registered or domiciled in jurisdictions not included in the list of tax havens detailed in Decree N° 1344/98. Furthermore, the Resolution provided that securities transactions made by parties registered or domiciled in jurisdictions that are not included in such list, but that act as intermediaries of securities’ markets under the supervision of an agency similar to the CNV, were allowed only if such agency has signed a memorandum of mutual understanding with the CNV.

On February 2, 2012, Resolution N° 554 was replaced by Resolution N° 602 so as to adapt and complement the instructions issued by UIF applying to the entities under the supervision of CNV, including some payment modalities and control proceedings for the reception and deliver of funds to the clients, fixing amounts and instruments to be used. Moreover, such resolution updated the reference to the Decree which referred to tax havens (N° 1,037).

As part of a more comprehensive modification of the rules that govern the scope of supervision of CNV, derive from the enactment of the Capital Markets Law and the CNV Rules, which stablished a new regime for the public offer of securities, CNV issued a new re-arranged text of its rules. Through the CNV Rules, the CNV incorporates a new chapter of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing including dispositions related to the fulfillment of duties to be complied by “Agentes de Negociación”, “Agentes de Liquidación y Compensación”, “Agentes de Distribución y Colocación” and “Agentes de Administración de Productos de Inversión Colectiva”, considered as obliged subject under the terms of sections 4, 5 and 22 of article 20 of Law N° 25,246. Such agents are obliged to comply with any provision arising from Law N° 25,246 and its amendments, regulations enacted by UIF, including decrees of National Executive Power with reference to the decisions adopted by the United Nations Security Council, in the fight against terrorism and to comply with the resolutions issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Religion. Furthermore, “Agentes de Custodia de Productos de Inversión Colectiva (Sociedades Depositarias de Fondos Comunes de Inversión”); “Agentes de corretaje”, “Agentes de depósito colectivo” and listed companies with respect to contribution, irrevocable contributions or indebtedness made by a shareholder or a third person to become a shareholder in the future, are also reached by the resolution.

Those subjects must send by internet (through the online application of CNV) their tax identification number. Additionally, in case of companies, it must be informed the personal data of the “Compliance Officer” (both regular and alternate).

The CNV Rules provide that the subjects under their jurisdiction, may only take action to transactions in the scope of public offering of securities, stipulated, future or optional contracts of any nature and other instruments and financial products when made or directed by registered, domiciled or domestic subjects or those who reside in dominions, jurisdictions, territories or associated states that appear included in the list of cooperating countries provided in article 2º, subsection b) of Decree N° 589/2013.

When those subjects are not included in the referred list and, in their origin jurisdictions, are only registered intermediates of an entity subject to control and supervision of a body who fulfills similar duties such as the CNV, the transactions shall only have effect provided that the body in their origin jurisdiction has signed a memorandum of understanding, cooperation and exchange of information with the CNV.

With the purpose of strengthen the requirements in order to grant the authorization to operate in the exchange market, some new requisites were established in connection with: (i) competence and capacity; (ii) moral integrity and honesty and (iii) solvency. Such requisites are subject to the appraisal of CNV and must be fulfilled by managers, directors, auditors and any other individual who perform duties or activities within the company.

Pursuant to Decree 360/2016 dated February 16, 2016, the Argentine government created the “National Coordination Program for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing” within the purview of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. Its purpose is to rearrange, coordinate and strengthen the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing system at national level, in light of the actual risks that could impact the Argentine territory and the global requirements to be met under the scope of the obligations and international recommendations of the United Nations and FATF standards.

194

Moreover, Law No. 27.260, which introduced certain tax modifications and a new regime for residents to disclose undeclared assets, established that the UIF would now be within the purview of the Ministry of Economy and Finances.

Some other measures are set forth related to listed companies or their shareholders or beneficial owners who had been convicted or condemned in connection with money laundering and/or terrorist financing activities or appeared in the list published by the United Nation Security Council.

E. TAXATION

United States Taxation

The following summary describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of common shares and GDSs as of the date hereof. The discussion set forth below is applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below). Except where noted, this discussion deals only with U.S. Holders that hold the common shares or GDSs as capital assets. This summary does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including if you are:

a bank;

a dealer in securities or currencies;

a financial institution;

a regulated investment company;

a real estate investment trust;

an insurance company;

a tax exempt organization;

a person holding the common shares or GDSs as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, constructive sale or straddle;

a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;

a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of the voting stock of our company;

a partnership or other pass–through entity for United States federal income tax purposes; or

a person whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. Dollar.

Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the United States federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income, or the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. In addition, this summary is based, in part, upon representations made by the GDS depositary to us and assumes that the deposit agreement governing the GDSs, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares or GDSs that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

195

If a partnership holds common shares or GDSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding common shares or GDSs, you should consult your tax advisors.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES OR GDSS YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

GDSs

If you hold GDSs, for United States federal income tax purposes, you generally will be treated as the owner of the underlying common shares that are represented by such GDSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of common shares for GDSs by U.S. Holders will not be subject to United States federal income tax.

Distributions on Common Shares or GDSs

Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, the gross amount of distributions on our common shares or GDSs (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentinean withholding taxes, if any) will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Such dividends will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively received by you, in the case of our common shares, or by the GDS depositary, in the case of our GDSs. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.

With respect to United States non-corporate investors, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on common shares (or GDSs representing such common shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. United States Treasury Department guidance indicates that our GDSs (which are listed on the NYSE), but not our common shares, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we do not believe that dividends that we pay on our common shares that are not represented by GDSs currently meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. Non-corporate holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. Non-corporate U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules given their particular circumstances.

The amount of any dividend paid in Pesos will equal the U.S. Dollar value of the Pesos received calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received by you, in the case of our common shares, or by the GDS depositary, in the case of our GDSs, regardless of whether the Pesos are converted into U.S. Dollars. If the Pesos received as a dividend are not converted into U.S. Dollars on the date of receipt, you will have a tax basis in the Pesos equal to their U.S. Dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Pesos will be treated as United States source ordinary income or loss.

Subject to certain complex conditions and limitations, Argentinean withholding taxes on dividends, if any, may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your United States federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our common shares or GDSs will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. If you do not elect to claim a credit for any foreign taxes paid during a taxable year, you may instead claim a deduction in respect of such foreign taxes. Further, in certain circumstances, if you have held our common shares or GDSs for less than a specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss, or are obligated to make payments related to the dividends, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on our common shares or GDSs. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentinean withholding taxes, if any) exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of our common shares or GDSs, and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange (as discussed below under “—Taxation of Capital Gains”). However, we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend (as discussed above).

Distributions of our common shares that are received as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our shareholders generally will not be subject to United States federal income taxes.

196

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Based on the current and projected composition of our income and the valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ending June 30, 2016, and we do not currently expect to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition or if our projections are not accurate. The volatility and instability of Argentina’s economic and financial system may substantially affect the composition of our income and assets and the accuracy of our projections. In addition, this determination is based on the interpretation of certain U.S. Treasury regulations relating to rental income, which regulations are potentially subject to differing interpretation.

In general, we will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which:

at least 75% of our gross income is passive income; or

at least 50% of the value (determined based on a quarterly average) of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

For this purpose, cash is a passive asset and passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person). If we own at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, we will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning our proportionate share of that other corporation’s assets and receiving our proportionate share of its income. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or GDSs, unless you make the mark-to-market election discussed below, you will be subject to special tax rules discussed below.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or GDSs, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distributions” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of such common shares or GDSs. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the common shares or GDSs will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:

the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the common shares or GDSs;

the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we become a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or GDSs and any of our non- United States subsidiaries is also a PFIC, you would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the common shares of the lower tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

In addition, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us, if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year. You will generally be required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 if you hold our common shares or GDSs in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC.

In certain circumstances, in lieu of being subject to the excess distribution rules discussed above, you may make an election to include gain on the stock of a PFIC as ordinary income under a mark-to-market method, provided that such stock is regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Under current law, the mark-to-market election is only available for stock traded on certain designated United States exchanges and foreign exchanges which meet certain trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements to be treated as a qualified exchange under applicable United States Treasury regulations. Our common shares are listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, which must meet the trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements under applicable United States Treasury regulations for purposes of the mark-to-market election, and no assurance can be given that the common shares are or will be “regularly traded” for purposes of the mark-to-market election. Our GDSs are currently listed on the NYSE, which constitutes a qualified exchange under the United States Treasury regulations, although there can be no assurance that the GDSs are or will be “regularly traded.”

197

If you make an effective mark-to-market election, you will include in ordinary income each year that we are a PFIC the excess of the fair market value of our common shares or GDSs at the end of the year over your adjusted tax basis in our common shares or GDSs. You will be entitled to deduct as an ordinary loss in each such year the excess of your adjusted tax basis in our common shares or GDSs over their fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain or loss on the sale of the common shares or GDSs will be ordinary income or loss, except that such loss will be ordinary loss only to the extent of the previously included net mark-to-market gain.

Your adjusted tax basis in our common shares or GDSs will be increased by the amount of any income inclusion and decreased by the amount of any deductions under the mark-to-market rules. If you make a mark-to market election, it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless our common shares or GDSs are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the Internal Revenue Service consents to the revocation of the election. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election would be advisable in your particular circumstances.

In some cases, holders of common shares or GDSs in a PFIC may be able to avoid the rules described above by electing to treat the PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code. This option will not be available to you because we do not intend to comply with certain calculation and reporting requirements necessary to permit you to make this election.

You are urged to consult your tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of holding our common shares or GDSs if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

Taxation of Capital Gains

Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company” above, for United States federal income tax purposes, you will generally recognize capital gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of our common shares or GDSs in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. Dollar value of the amount realized for the common shares or GDSs and your tax basis in the common shares or GDSs determined in U.S. Dollars. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. Any gain or loss recognized by you will generally be treated as United States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Argentinean tax imposed on the disposition of our common shares or GDSs unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources.

Argentine Personal Assets Tax

Amounts paid on account of the Argentine personal assets tax, if any, will not be eligible as a credit against your United States federal income tax liability, but may be deductible subject to applicable limitations in the Code.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of our common shares or GDSs and the proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our common shares or GDSs that are paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless you are an exempt recipient. A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or certification of other exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Argentine Taxation

The following discussion is a summary of certain Argentine tax considerations associated with an investment in, ownership or disposition of, the common shares or the GDSs by (i) an individual holder that is resident in Argentina, (ii) an individual holder that is neither domiciled nor resident in Argentina, (iii) a legal entity organized under the laws of Argentina (iv) a permanent business establishment in Argentina owned by a foreign entity and (v) a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Argentina, that does not have a permanent establishment in Argentina and is not otherwise doing business in Argentina on a regular basis. The discussion is for general information only and is based on current Argentine tax laws. Moreover, while this summary is considered to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force a sof the date of this 20-F Form, no assurance can be given that the courts or administrative authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with this interpretation or that changes in such laws or interpretations will not occur.

198

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY TAXING JURISDICTION.

Income tax

Law N° 26,893, enacted on September 12, 2013 and published in the Official Gazette on September 23, 2013, introduced several amendments to Income Tax Law N° 20,628 in connection with, among others, the taxation of dividend distributions and gains derived from transfers of shares and other securities, including the derogation of Section 78 of Decree N° 2,284/1991, which provided that foreign holders with no permanent establishment in Argentina were exempt from paying income tax on the capital gains arising from the sale or other disposition of shares or GDSs.

On February 7, 2014, the Executive Branch issued Decree N° 2,334/13, which regulates Law N° 26,893.

The changes introduced by Law N° 26,893 are effective as from the date of publication of such law in the Official Gazette and are applicable to taxable events consummated from such date onwards.

Taxation on Dividends

Until Law N° 26,893 became effective, dividends, whether in cash, in shares or in kind, approved by our shareholders were not subject to income tax withholding except for the application of the “Equalization Tax” described below.

From the effectiveness of Law N° 26,893, dividends are subject to an income tax withholding (the “Dividend Tax”) at a 10% rate on the amount of such dividends in respect of both Argentine and non-Argentine resident shareholders. The “Dividend Tax” has been repealed by Law No. 27,260 for dividend payments since July 22, 2016.

An income tax withholding will be applied to the amount of dividends distributed in excess of a company’s net taxable income determined in accordance with general income tax regulations for the fiscal years preceding the date of the distribution of such dividends (the “Equalization Tax”). The legislation requires that companies withhold 35% of the amount of distributed dividends in excess of the net taxable income of such distribution, as determined in accordance with the income tax law. Dividends distributed by an Argentine company are not subject to this tax to the extent that those dividends arise from dividend income or other distributions received by such company from other Argentine companies.

Dividend distributions made in kind (other than cash) will be subject to the same tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends on fully paid shares are not subject to Equalization Tax.

Certain tax treaties contemplate the application of a ceiling tax rate on dividends (i.e. 10% on gross dividends).

Taxation on Capital Gains

From the effectiveness of Law N° 26,893 income from sale, exchange, disposition or transfer of common shares or GDSs is subject to income tax, irrespective of the person that obtains such income, exception made of transactions made by resident individuals involving common shares and other securities that are listed on securities exchanges or markets and/or authorized to be offered to the public.

Resident individuals

Capital gains obtained by resident individuals from the sale of common shares and other securities are subject to income tax at a 15% rate on net income, unless such securities were traded in stock markets and/or have public offering authorization, in which case an exemption applies. The amendments introduced by the implementing Decree N° 2,334/13 state that the exemption includes income derived from the sale of common shares and other securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by Argentine Securities (Comisión Nacional de Valores, or “CNV”).

It is not clear whether the term “includes” (as used in the implementing Decree 2334/2013) means that the exemption only refers to sales of securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV or whether the implementing Decree 2334/2013 intended to clarify that such sales were just one of the possibilities that may be covered by the exemption (in addition to publicly offering authorized securities, as provided in the Argentine Income Tax Law). Certain qualified tax authorities have publicly opined that the exemption exclusively refers to sales of securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV.

Losses arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares or GDSs can be applied only to offset such capital gains arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of these securities, for a five-year carryover period.

199

Foreign beneficiaries

Capital gains obtained by non-Argentine individuals or non-Argentine entities from the sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares are subject to income tax, as the abovementioned exemption for shares is not applicable to non-Argentine beneficiaries. Therefore, the gain derived from the disposition of common shares by foreign beneficiaries is subject to Argentine income tax at a 15% rate on the net capital gain or at a 13.5% rate on the gross price at the seller’s election. However there is currently no regulation under Argentine law with respect to how this election is made. When both the seller and the buyer are non-residents, the person liable to pay the tax shall be the buyer of the shares, quotas, equity interests and other securities transferred. However, as of the date of this annual report, no regulations have been issued stipulating the withholding and payment mechanism that the non-resident buyer should follow.

Notwithstanding the above, based on certain tax precedents, there may be support to argue that gains obtained by a non-resident from the disposal of GDSs should be regarded as foreign source income and, therefore, not subject to Argentine income tax. As this is a controversial issue, further analysis is required.

Argentine entities

Capital gains obtained by Argentine entities (in general entities organized or incorporated under Argentine law, certain traders and intermediaries, local branches of non-Argentine entities, sole proprietorships and individuals carrying on certain commercial activities in Argentina) derived from the sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares or GDSs are subject to income tax at the rate of 35%.

WE RECOMMEND PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES CONCERNING THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS OF COMMON SHARES AND GDSs.

Value Added Tax

The sale, exchange, disposition, or transfer of common shares or GDSs is not subject to Value Added Tax.

Personal Assets Tax

Argentine entities, such as us, have to pay the personal assets tax corresponding to Argentine and foreign domiciled individuals and foreign domiciled entities for the holding of our shares. The applicable tax rate for fiscal year 2016 is 0.25% and is levied on the proportional net worth value (valor patrimonial proporcional), or the book value, of the shares arising from the last balance sheet of the Argentine entity calculated under Argentine GAAP. Pursuant to the Personal Assets Tax Law, the Argentine company is entitled to seek reimbursement of such paid tax from the applicable Argentine domiciled individuals and/or foreign domiciled shareholders.

Our shareholders approved the absorption of personal asset tax by us for the years 2002 to 2015. There can be no assurance that in the future this tax will be absorbed by us.

Tax on Minimum Notional Income (Impuesto a la Ganancia Mínima Presunta, IGMP)

Entities domiciled in Argentina, partnerships, foundations, sole proprietorships, trusts, certain mutual funds organized in Argentina, and permanent business establishments owned by foreign persons, among other taxpayers, shall apply a 1% rate to the total value of assets held by such persons, above an aggregate nominal amount of Ps.200,000. Nevertheless, common shares and GDSs issued by entities subject to such tax are exempt from the IGMP.

Law No. 27.260 has repealed this tax for fiscal years commenced since January 1, 2019.

Turnover Tax

The gross turnover tax is a local tax; therefore, the rules of the relevant provincial jurisdiction should be considered, which may levy this tax on the customary purchase and sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares and GDSs, and/or the collection of dividends at an average rate of 6%, unless an exemption is applicable. In the particular case of the City of Buenos Aires, any transaction involving common shares and/or the collection of dividends and revaluations is exempt from this tax.

There is no gross income tax withholding system applicable to the payments made to foreign beneficiaries.

Stamp Tax

Stamp tax is a local tax that is generally levied on the formal execution of onerous transactions within a certain provincial jurisdiction or outside a certain provincial jurisdiction but with effects in such jurisdiction; therefore, the rules of the relevant provincial jurisdiction should be considered for the issuance of instruments which implement onerous transactions (including issuance, subscription, placement and transfer) involving the common shares or GDSs, executed in those jurisdictions, or with effects in those jurisdictions.

200

Notwithstanding, for the City of Buenos Aires, any instrument related to the transfer of common shares which public offering is authorized by the CNV is exempt from this tax.

Tax on Credits and Debits in Bank Accounts

Credits to and debits from bank accounts held at Argentine financial institutions, as well as certain cash payments, are subject to this tax, which is assessed at a general rate of 0.6%. There are also increased rates of 1.2% and reduced rates of 0.075%. Owners of bank accounts subject to the general 0.6% rate may consider 34% of the tax paid upon credits to such bank accounts as a tax credit while taxpayers subject to the 1.2% rate may consider 17% of all tax paid upon credits to such bank accounts as a credit. Such amounts can be utilized as a credit for income tax or tax on presumed minimum income.

Other Taxes

There are no Argentine federal inheritance or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of our common shares or GDSs. The provinces of Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos establish a tax on free transmission of assets, including inheritance, legacies, donations, etc. Free transmission of our shares could be subject to this tax. In the case of litigation regarding the shares before a court of the City of Buenos Aires, a 3% court fee would be charged, calculated on the basis of the claim.

Tax Treaties

Argentina has entered into tax treaties with several countries. There is currently no tax treaty or convention in effect between Argentina and the United States.

D. American Depositary Shares

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary for the GDSs (the “Depositary”) collects its fees for delivery directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering GDSs for the purpose of withdrawal. The Depositary also collects taxes and governmental charges from the holders of GDSs. The Depositary collects these fees and charges by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the holder prior to such sale).

The Depositary has agreed to reimburse or pay on our behalf, certain reasonable expenses related to our GDS program and incurred by us in connection with the program (such as NASDAQ listing fees, legal and accounting fees incurred with preparation of Form 20-F and ongoing SEC compliance and listing requirements, distribution of proxy materials, investor relations expenses, etc). The Depositary has covered all such expenses incurred by us for the period 2014 - 2015 for an amount of US$ 50,000, net of taxes. The amounts the Depositary reimbursed or paid are not perforce related to the fees collected by the depositary from GDSs holders.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

A. Fair Price Provision

At our annual meeting held on October 30, 2000, our shareholders approved an amendment to our bylaws which included the adoption of a fair price provision (the “Fair Price Provision”). On March 8, 2002 our shareholders decided to make a new amendment to Article Nine of our bylaws including, among others, an increase in the minimum percentage of capital obliged to comply with the Fair Price Provision, from twenty percent (20%) to thirty five percent (35%), according to Decree N° 677/2001. On October 10, 2007, our shareholders decided to make a new amendment to Article Nine of our bylaws, to include the control concept under Decree N° 677/2001, which provides for the effective control regularly held in addition to the legal control.

The following description is a summary of the main provisions of the Fair Price Provision, which constitutes Article Nine of our bylaws and does not contain a description of all of the terms of the Fair Price Provision. The Fair Price Provision prohibits a party seeking to acquire, directly or indirectly, either control or (together with such party’s other holdings) thirty five percent (35%) or more of our capital stock without complying with the procedural and price requirements described below. Acquisitions made in violation of the Fair Price Provision are deemed ineffective against us and will not be registered in our share registry. Common shares acquired in violation of the Fair Price Provision shall have no voting or equity rights until the Fair Price Provision has been complied with. The Fair Price Provision applies to transactions involving shares of our common stock and any securities convertible in shares of our common stock, including, without limitation, convertible debentures and bonds and our GDRs. The Fair Price Provision excludes certain acquisitions of common shares in certain limited circumstances.

202

The Fair Price Provision provides that a party seeking to acquire, directly or indirectly, control of our company or thirty five percent (35%) or more of our capital stock shall be required to make a public tender offer for all of the outstanding common stock of us and any shares of common stock into which outstanding securities of our company are presently convertible or exchangeable in accordance with the procedural and price terms of the Fair Price Provision and in accordance with applicable law. For purposes of the thirty five percent threshold contained in the Fair Price Provision parties acting in concert or which are under common control or administration are deemed a single party.

There are cases excluded from the tender offer requirements:

acquisitions by existing shareholders or by those exercising control over shares or convertible securities in accordance with the provisions under Law 26.831, irrespective of the application of the regulations imposed by the CNV; and

The Fair Price Provision requires the offering party to notify use of the tender offer simultaneously with its filing of the public tender offer with the Comisión Nacional de Valores. The notice to us is required to set forth all of the terms and conditions of any agreement that the offering party has made with any other of our shareholders with respect to the proposed transaction and to provide, among other things, the following information:

the identity and nationality of the offering party and, in the event the offer is made by a group, the identity of each member of the group;

the terms and conditions of the offering, including the price, the tender offer period and the requirements for accepting the tender offer;

accounting documentation required by Argentine law relating to the offering party;

details of all prior acquisitions by the offering party of common shares or securities convertible into shares of our capital stock.

We will distribute the information provided by the offering party to our shareholders.

The CNV regulations require that transactions which cause a person’s holdings of capital stock of a registered Argentine company, to hold 5% or more of the voting power, should be immediately notified to the CNV. Thereafter, every change in the holdings that represents a multiple of 5% of the voting power should also be notified.

The Fair Price Provision requires that the consideration paid in the tender offer be paid in cash and that the price paid for each common share in the tender offer be the same and not less than the highest price per common share derived from the five following alternative valuation methods:

the highest price per share of our common stock paid by the offering party, or on behalf of the offering party, for any acquisition of shares or convertible securities within the 2 years prior to the commencement of the tender offer;

the highest closing selling price of a share of our common stock on the BASE during the thirty day period immediately preceding the commencement of the tender offer;

the highest price resulting from the calculations made according to the provisions of (i) and (ii) above multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is such highest price and the denominator of which is the lowest closing price of a share of our common stock on the BASE during the two-year period prior to the period referred to in sub-sections (i) or (ii), as applicable;

our aggregate net earnings per common share during our preceding four completed fiscal quarters prior to the commencement of the tender offer, multiplied by our highest price to earnings ratio during the two-year period immediately preceding the commencement of the tender offer. Such multiples shall be determined considering the average closing selling price of our common stock in the BASE, and our aggregate net income from our preceding four completed fiscal quarters; and,

203

the book value per share of our common stock at the time the tender offer is commenced, multiplied by the highest ratio determined by a fraction the numerator of which is the closing selling price of a share of our common stock oi the BASE on each day during the two year period prior to the commencement of the tender offer and the denominator of which is the latest known book value per share of our common stock on each such date.

B. Limitations on the payment of dividends.

On February 2, 2007, we issued our Series I Notes for an aggregate principal amount of US$150.0 million.

In addition, on July 20, 2010, we issued our Series II Notes.

The Indentures of the Notes contained restrictions on the distribution of dividends. However, on March 28, 2016 and on April 7, 2016, the Trustee and us entered into First Supplemental Indentures to the 2020 Notes Indenture and to the 2017 Notes Indenture, respectively. The Supplemental Indentures amended, modified and/or deleted certain provisions of the Indentures. Among them, the restrictions on the distribution of dividends.

As a result, we cannot give you any assurance that we will pay any dividends with respect to our common shares in the future.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2016. Based upon this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

B. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate Internal Control over Financial Reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting includes a series of procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, Internal Control over Financial Reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our Internal Control over Financial Reporting as of June 30, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our Internal Control over Financial Reporting was effective as of June 30, 2016. However, the management has excluded IDB Development from its assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting as of June 30, 2016 because it was acquired by us in purchase business combinations during the fiscal year 2016. IDB Development is an indirect subsidiary (through Tyrus S.A.) whose total assets and total revenues represent 92% and 86%, respectively, of our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements amount as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016.

204

C. Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016 has been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L, Buenos Aires Argentina- member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited-, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

D. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16.

A. Audit Committee Financial Expert

Pursuant to the former applicable rules regarding the Capital Market Law (former Transparency Decree) and the applicable Rules of the CNV at such moment, our board of directors has established on May 2004 an Audit Committee. The main functions of the Audit Committee are to assist the board of directors in performing their duty of exercising due care, diligence and competence in issues relating to us, specifically in the enforcement of the accounting policy and in the issue of accounting and financial information, the management of business risk and of internal control systems, the conduct and ethical soundness of the company’s business, the supervision of the integrity of our financial statements, the compliance by our company with the legal provisions, the independence and capability of the independent auditor and the performance of the internal audit function of our company and of the external auditors. Also, according to the applicable regulations, we may request to our audit committee to render its opinion in certain transactions, and its conditions, as is the case of related party transactions, as may be reasonably considered adequate according to normal market conditions.

Since November 3, 2008 the member of the Audit Committee are Cedric Bridger, Ricardo Liberman and Mario Blejer, all of them as independent members. Cedric Bridger is the financial expert in accordance with the relevant SEC rules. We have a fully independent audit committee as per the standard provided in Rule 10 (A) -3(B) (1).

B. Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees. Our code of ethics is posted in our website www.irsa.com.ar. On July 25 2005, our Code of Ethics was amended by our Board of Directors. The amendment was reported in a report on Form 6-K on August 1, 2005.

If we make any substantive amendment to the code of ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver to any of its provision we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a report on Form 6-K or in our next annual report and we will post it in our website.

G. Corporate Governance

Compliance with NYSE listing standards on corporate governance

NYSE and Argentine Corporate Governance Requirements

Our corporate governance practices are governed by the applicable Argentine law; particularly, the Argentine Corporation Law, Capital Markets Law Nº 26,831 and the Rules of the CNV, as well as by our bylaws. We have securities that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are NYSE, and is therefore subject to corporate governance requirements applicable to NYSE-listed non-U.S. companies (a “NYSE-listed” company).

NYSE-listed non-U.S. companies that are categorized as “Foreign Private Issuers” may, in general, follow their home country corporate governance practices in lieu of most of the new NYSE corporate governance requirements (the “NYSE Sections”) codified in Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual. However, Foreign Private Issuers must comply with NYSE Sections 303A.06, 303A.11 and 303A.12(b) and 303A.12(c). Foreign Private Issuers must comply with Section 303A.06 prior to July 31, 2005 and with Sections 303A.11 and 303A.12(b) prior to the first annual meeting of shareholders held after January 15, 2004, or by October 31, 2004.

NYSE Section 303A.11 requires that Foreign Private Issuers disclose any significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from U.S. companies under NYSE standards. A Foreign Private Issuer is simply required to provide a brief, general summary of such significant differences to its U.S. investors either 1) on the company’s website (in English) or 2) in Form 20-F as distributed to their U.S. investors. In order to comply with Section 303A.11, we have prepared and have updated the comparison in the table below.

205

THE MOST RELEVANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES AND NYSE STANDARDS FOR LISTED COMPANIES ARE AS FOLLOWS:


NYSE Standards for U.S. companies Listed Companies Manual Section 303.A		IRSA’s Corporate Practices

Section 303A.01 A NYSE-listed company must have a majority of independent directors on its board of directors.		We follow Argentine law which does not require that a majority of the board of directors be comprised of independent directors. Argentine law instead requires that public companies in Argentina have a sufficient number of independent directors to be able to form an audit committee of at least three members, the majority of which must be independent pursuant to the criteria established by the Rules of the CNV.
Section 303A.02 This section establishes general standards to evaluate directors’ independence (no director qualifies as “independent” unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company)), and emphasizes that the concern is independence from management. The board is also required to express an opinion with regard to the independence or lack of independence, on a case by case basis, of each individual director.		CNV standards (former General Resolution N° 400 and now General Resolution 622/2013, as amended) for purposes of identifying an independent director are substantially similar to NYSE’s standards. CNV standards provide that independence is required with respect to the company itself and to its shareholders with direct or indirect material holdings (35% or more). To qualify as an independent director, such person must not perform executive functions within the company. Close relatives of any persons who would not qualify as “independent directors” shall also not be considered “independent.” When directors are appointed, each shareholder that nominates a director is required to report at the meeting whether or not such director is independent.

Section 303A.03 Non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive meetings not attended by management.		Neither Argentine law nor our by-laws require that any such meetings be held. Our board of directors as a whole is responsible for monitoring the company’s affairs. In addition, under Argentine law, the board of directors may approve the delegation of specific responsibilities to designated directors or non-director managers of a company. Also, it is mandatory for public companies to form a supervisory committee (composed of syndics) which is responsible for monitoring legal compliance by a company under Argentine law and compliance with its by-laws.

Section 303A.05(a) Listed companies shall have a “Compensation Committee” comprised entirely of independent directors.		Neither Argentine law nor our by-laws require the formation of a “Compensation Committee.” Under Argentine law, if the compensation of the members of the board of directors and the supervisory committee is not established in the by-laws of a company, it should be determined at the shareholders meeting.

Section 303A.05(b). The “Compensation Committee” shall have a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and certain minimum responsibilities as set forth in Section	Neither Argentine law nor our by-laws require the formation of a “Compensation Committee.”

206

303A.05(b)(i) and (ii).
NYSE Standards for U.S. companies Listed Companies Manual Section 303.A		IRSA’s Corporate Practices

Section 303A.06 Listed companies must have an “Audit Committee” that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10 A-3 under the 1934 Exchange Act (the “Exchange Act”). Foreign private issuers must satisfy the requirements of Rule 10 A-3 under the Exchange Act as of July 31, 2005.		Pursuant to the Capital Markets Law and the Rules of the CNV, from May 27, 2004 we have appointed an “Audit Committee” composed of three of the members of the Board of Directors. Since December 21, 2005 all of its members are independent as per the criteria of Rule 10 A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Section 303A.07(a) The Audit Committee shall consist of at least three members. All of its members shall be financially literate or must acquire such financial knowledge within a reasonable period and at least one of its members shall have experience in accounting or financial administration.		In accordance with Argentine law, a public Company must have an Audit Committee with a minimum of three members of the board of directors, the majority of which shall be independent pursuant to the criteria established by the CNV. There is no requirement related to the financial expertise of the members of the Audit Committee. However, our Audit Committee has a financial expert. The committee creates its own written internal code that addresses among others: (i) its purpose; (ii) an annual performance evaluation of the committee; and (iii) its duties and responsibilities.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2016 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, there are risks and uncertainties in relation to the Company’s subsidiary IDB Development. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the valuation of IDBD’s assets and liabilities that would be required if IDBD were not able to continue as a going-concern.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in “Management´s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, management has excluded IDB Development from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as June 30, 2016 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2016. We have also excluded IDB Development from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. IDB Development is an indirect subsidiary (through Tyrus S.A.) whose total assets and total revenue represent 92 % and 86 %, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016.

The Group uses the term “real estate” indistinctively in these Financial Statements to denote investment, development and/or trading properties activities. IRSA CP's shares are listed and traded on both the BASE (Merval: IRCP) and in NASDAQ (National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation) (NASDAQ: IRCP). IRSA's shares are listed on the BASE (Merval: IRSA) and the NYSE (NYSE: IRSA).

The activities of the Group’s segment “financial operations and others” is carried out mainly through BHSA, where we have a 29.91% interest (without considering treasury shares). BHSA is a commercial bank offering a wide variety of banking activities and related financial services to individuals, small and medium-sized companies and large corporations, including the provision of mortgaged loans. BHSA's shares are listed on the BASE. Besides that, the Group has a 42.81% indirect equity interest in Tarshop, whose main activities are credit card and loan origination transactions.

Operations Center in Israel

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Group made an investment in the Israeli market, through DFL and DN B.V., in IDBD (an Israeli Company), with of an initial interest of 26.65%. IDBD is one of the Israeli largest and most diversified conglomerates, which is involved, through its subsidiaries and other investments, in several markets and industries, including real estate, retail, agribusiness, insurance, telecommunications, etc.; controlling or participating in companies such as: Clal (Insurance Company), Cellcom (Telecomunications), Adama (Agrochemicals), Shufersal (Supermarket), PBC (Real Estate), among others. IDBD traded its shares in TASE between May 2014 and March 2016. To date, it is only listed as a “Debentures Company” under the Israeli law, because some of its bonds are trading.

On October 11, 2015, the Group gained effective control over IDBD (see Note 3). As a result, the Group has consolidated significant figures of several industries from IDBD and its subsidiaries.

The Group’s business and general information (Continued)

IDBD has diverse debts containing certain covenants which have been successively negotiated, resulting in several waivers actually expiring in December 2016. IDBD estimates that if the original covenants of such loans were to become effective again, it would not be able to honor them. Non-compliance could have the effect of creditors requiring immediate repayment of the debt.

As a holding company, IDBD’s main sources of funds derive from the dividends distributed by its subsidiaries, which have experienced a reduction in recent years. Yet, there are restrictions as to the payment of dividends based on the indebtedness level in some subsidiaries. IDBD has projected future cash flows and expects to have the required liquidity to meet its commitments by issuing new debt in Israel, selling financial assets such as Clal and dividend payouts by Clal. IDBD could also secure additional financing through the private issuance of equity securities.

On December, 2013, it was published in the Official Gazette of Israel the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Concentration the Law, 5.774-13 (‘the Concentration Law’). This law has material implications for IDBD and its investments, including the disposal of the controlling interest in Clal, a potential delisting of IDBD or DIC so as to no longer trade its shares publicly, or a merger between IDBD and DIC.

All factors mentioned above, mainly (i) IDBD’s current financial position and need of financing to honor its financial debt and other commitments, (ii) the renegotiation underway with financial creditors, and (iii) the term set by Israel’s governmental authorities to sell the equity interest in Clal and the potential effects of such sale, in particular, on its market value, raise significant uncertainties as to IDBD’s capacity to continue as a going-concern. These financial statements do not include the adjustments or reclassifications related to the valuation of IDBD’s assets and liabilities that would be required if IDBD were not able to continue as a going-concern.

The Group is and will continue working to address the uncertainties described above.

The Group’s business and general information (Continued)

The Group

The financial position of IDBD and its subsidiaries at the operations center in Israel does not affect the financial position of IRSA and its subsidiaries at the operations center in Argentina.

IRSA and its subsidiaries are not facing financial constraints and are compliant with their financial commitments. In addition, the commitments and other covenants resulting from IDBD’s debt do not have impact on IRSA since such debt has no recourse against IRSA and it is not granted by IRSA’s assets.

There are no significant uncertainties as to the capacity of the Group, as a whole, to operate as a going-concern perspective, with such uncertainties being limited to the operation center in Israel.

Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1.

Basis of preparation of the Financial Statements

(a)

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB and IFRIC (known as the old Standard Interpretations Committee “SIC”). All IFRS applicable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements have been applied.

Under IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency belongs to a hyperinflationary economy, regardless of whether they apply historic cost or current cost methods, should be stated at the current unit of measure as of the date of this consolidated financial statements. For such purpose, in general, inflation is to be computed in non-monetary items from the acquisition or revaluation date, as applicable. In order to determine whether an economy is to be considered hyperinflationary, the standard lists a set of factors to be taken into account, including an accumulated inflation rate near or above 100% over a three years period.

As of June 30, 2016, it is not possible to compute the accumulated inflation rate for the three years period ending on that date based on the official statistics of the INDEC (Argentina Statistics Office), because in October 2015, the INDEC ceased to compute the Wholesale Domestic Price Index, and started to compute it again as from January 2016.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

As of the date of this consolidated financial statements, the Argentine peso does not meet the conditions to be treated as the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, pursuant to the guidelines set forth by IAS 29. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements have not been restated in constant currency.

However, over the last years, certain macroeconomic variables affecting the Group’s business, such as payroll costs, input prices and service rates, have experienced significant annual changes. This factor should be taken into consideration in assessing and interpreting the financial situation and results of operations of the Group in these consolidated financial statements.

On October 11, 2015, the Group took over IDBD. IDBD’s fiscal year ends on December 31 each year and the Group’s fiscal year ends on June 30. IDBD’s quarterly and annual reporting follows the guidelines of Israeli standards, which means that the information is only available after the applicable statutory terms in Argentina. Therefore, the Group is not able to include IDBD’s quarterly results in its consolidated financial statements to be filed with the CNV within the applicable statutory terms in Argentina. The Group has started to consolidate IDBD’s results of operations with a three-month lag, adjusted for the effects of material transactions that may have taken place during the reported period. Hence, IDBD’s results of operations for the period beginning on October 11, 2015 (the acquisition date) through March 31, 2016 are included in the Group’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, adjusted by such material transactions occurred between April 1 and June 30, 2016.

Given the materiality of IDBD’s figures incorporated, the Group had to change the format of its financial statements for the ease of reading and analysis. The most significant change is in line with the new organizational structure, which is split into two large operations centers in Argentina and Israel. In this regard, changes have been made to certain notes and tables and their respective order, classification and content in the financial statements, on a geographic basis and taking into consideration the significance of the Group’s global operations following IDBD’s consolidation.

(b)

Current and non-current classification

The Group presents current and non-current assets, and current and non-current liabilities, as separate classifications in its statement of financial position according with the operating cycle of each activity. Current assets and current liabilities include the assets and liabilities that are either realized or settled within 12 months from the end of the fiscal year.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities (income tax liabilities) are presented separately from each other and from other assets and liabilities as current and non-current, respectively.

(c)

Presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Argentine Pesos. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references to ‘Peso amounts’ or ‘Ps.’, are of Argentine Pesos, references to ‘US$’ or ‘US dollars’ are of United States dollars and references to "NIS" are of New Israeli Shekel.

(d)

Fiscal year-end

The fiscal year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30 of the following year.

(e)

Accounting criteria

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under historical cost criteria, as modified by financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets and other assets held for sale and share-based compensation at fair value.

(f)

Reporting cash flows

The Group reports cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. Interest paid is presented within financing cash flows. Interest received is presented within investing activities. The acquisitions and disposals of investment properties are disclosed as cash flows from investing activities as this most appropriately reflects the Group’s business activities. Cash flows in respect to trading properties are disclosed as cash flows from operating activities because these items are sold in the ordinary course of business.

(g)

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements at a certain date requires making estimates and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the year. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these financial statements. The most significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the major estimations and significant judgments are described in Note 5.

New accounting standards

The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued by the IASB and by the IFRIC. Below we outline the standards, amendments and interpretations that may potentially have an impact on the Group at the time of application.

IFRS 16 "Leases". Will supersede IAS 17 currently in force (and associated interpretations) and its scope includes all leases, with a few specific exceptions. Under the new standard, lessees are required to account for leases under one single model in the balance sheet that is similar to the one used to account for financial leases under IAS 17. There are two exceptions to this rule: to recognize the lease of low-cost assets (for example, personal computers) and short-term leases (for instance, leases for a 12 months or shorter term). As regards the lease commencement date, the lessee shall recognize the obligation to make rental payments (for instance, leases payable) and an asset that represents the right to use the leased asset during the term of the lease agreement (rights of use). There is almost no changes to lessor accounting. Becomes effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2019, that is, in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2020. It may be applied earlier provided IFRS 15 is also adopted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure initiative". Amendments provide that the entity shall disclose information so that users of the financial statements may assess the changes in liabilities resulting from financing activities, including both cash-flow and non-cash-flow derivatives. Becomes effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2017, that is, in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2018. Comparative information for prior fiscal years is not mandatory. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 "Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses". The amendments clarify the accounting of deferred income tax assets in the case of unrealized losses on instruments measured at fair value. Becomes effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2017, that is, in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Scope of consolidation

(a)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group also analyzes whether there is control when it does not hold more than 50% of the voting rights of an entity, but does have capacity to define its relevant activities because of de-facto control.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquire on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The Group chooses the method to be used on a case by case base.

The excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquire over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income as “Bargain purchase gains”.

The Group conducts its business through several operating and investment companies, the principal are listed below:

(b)

Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The recorded value corresponds to the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and/or receive and the relevant share acquired and/or transferred of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary.

(c)

Disposal of subsidiaries without of control

When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost, with changes in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(d)

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, representing an interest between 20% and at least 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, except as otherwise indicated as explained below. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.

IAS 28 “Investments in Associates” provides an exemption from applying the equity method where investments in associates are held through “Venture Capital Organizations” (VCO) or venture capital entities, as defined in Spanish, even when the Group is not a VCO. This type of investment may be accounted for at fair value with changes in net income for the years because such measure proves to be more useful to users of financial statements than the equity method.

As of each year end or upon the existence of evidence of impairment, a determination is made as to whether there is any objective indication of impairment in the value of the investments in associates. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the Associates and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to "Share of profit / (loss) of joint ventures’ and associates" in the statement of income.

(e)

Joint arrangements

Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group and other party or parties have joint control bound by a contractual arrangement. Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint ventures or joint operations depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses in the income statements and in other comprehensive income respectively.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the joint ventures is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to "Share of profit / (loss) of joint ventures and associates" in the statement of income.

2.4.

Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, responsible for allocate resources and assessing performance. The operating segments are included in Note 6.

2.5.

Foreign currency translation

(a)

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Argentine Pesos, which is the Group’s presentation currency.

(b)

Transactions and balances in foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities nominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or loss for the year.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of income within finance income and finance costs, as appropriate, unless they are capitalized.

Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(i) Assets, liabilities and goodwill for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that financial position;

(ii) income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.6.

Investment properties

Investment properties are those properties owned by the Group that are held either to earn long-term rental income or for capital appreciation, or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group. Investment property also includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. The Group also classifies land whose future use has not been determined yet as investment properties.

The Group’s investment properties primarily comprise the Group’s portfolio of shopping centers and offices, certain property under development and undeveloped land.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost. Cost comprises the purchase price and directly attributable expenditures.

For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating.

Direct expenses related to lease contract negotiation (such as payment to third parties for services rendered and certain specific taxes related to execution of such contracts) are capitalized as part of the book value of the relevant investment properties and amortized over the term of the lease.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The Group has adopted the cost model for all of its investment properties. Therefore, at the date of each statement of financial position, investment properties are carried at amortized cost, less impairment losses, if any. Where individual components of an item of investment property have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items, which are depreciated separately. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Land and property under constructions are not depreciated. Depreciation of the remaining investment properties is calculated, based on a component approach, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each component. The remaining useful life as of June 30, 2016 is as follows:

Shopping Center portfolio	Between 11 and 30 years
Offices and other rental properties portfolio	Between 8 and 100 years

As of each year-end an impairment test is performed on the recoverable value and/or residual useful life of assets. If there be any indicators of impairment, the recoverable amount and/or residual useful life of impaired asset(s) is computed, and an impairment adjustment is made, if applicable. The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, if appropriate, at least at each financial year-end.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected to arise from their disposals. Gains or losses on disposals or retirements of investment properties are determined by comparing the net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts at the date of disposal. The gains or losses are recognized in the statements of income and disclosed separately under the line item “Gain from disposal of investment property”. Proceeds from the sale of such property are accounted for when the material risks and benefits have been transferred to the purchaser.

2.7.

Property, plant and equipment

This category primarily comprises, buildings or portions of a building used for administrative purposes, machines, computers, and other equipment, motor vehicles, furniture, fixtures and fittings and improvements to the Group’s corporate offices.

The Group has also several hotel properties. Based on the respective contractual arrangements with hotel managers and / or given their direct operators nature, the Group considers it retains significant exposure to the variations in the cash flows of the hotel operations, and accordingly, hotels are treated as owner-occupied properties and classified under "Property, plant and equipment".

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

All property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are stated at acquisition cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. The acquisition cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Such costs may include the cost of improvements and replacement of parts as they meet the conditions to be capitalized. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized Repairs and maintenance are charged as incurred in the statement of income. Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The remaining useful life as of June 30, 2016 is as follows:

Buildings and facilities	Between 5 and 50 years
Machinery and equipment	Between 3 and 17 years
Communication networks	Between 3 and 20 years
Others	Between 3 and 25 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at least at each financial year-end.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains from the sale of these assets are recognized when the significant risks and rewards have transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place on unconditional exchange, generally when legal title passes to the buyer and it is probable that the buyer will pay. For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds net of direct expenses related to such sales, with the carrying amount as of the date of each transaction. Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment items are recognized within “Other operating results, net” in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.8.

Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement.

A Group company is the lessor:

Properties leased out to tenants under operating leases are included in “Investment Properties” in the statement of financial position. See Note 2.23. for the recognition of rental income. The Group does not have any assets leased out under finance leases.

A Group company is the lessee:

The Group acquires certain specific assets (especially machinery and computer equipment) under finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Capitalized lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. The finance charges are charged over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Liabilities corresponding to finance leases, measured at discounted value, are included in current and non-current borrowings.

Operating leases where the Group acts as lessee mainly include offices.

2.9.

Intangible assets

(a)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognized by the Group on an acquisition. Goodwill is initially measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquisition and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquisition; and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date.

Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment.

F-26

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows, known as cash-generating units (“CGU”). In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognized, the book value of CGU or CGU groups is compared against its recoverable value. Net book value of CGU and CGU groups include goodwill and assets with limited useful life (such as, investment properties, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and working capital net).

If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not reversed in a subsequent periods.

Recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of fair value less costs-to-sell and value-in-use. The fair value is the amount at which a cash-generating unit may be sold in a current transaction between unrelated, willing and duly informed parties. Value-in-use is the present value of all estimated future cash flows expected to be derived from CGU or CGU groups.

(b)

Computer software

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 3 years. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred.

(c)

Branding and client relationships

This relates to the fair value of brands and client relationships arising at the time of the business combination with IDBD. They are subsequently valued at cost, less the accumulated amortization or impairment. Client relationships have a 12-year useful life, while brands have an indefinite useful life.

(d)

Right to receive future units under barter agreements

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

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

At the date of each statements of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss.

2.10.

Trading properties

Trading properties comprises those properties either intended for sale or in the process of construction for sale. Trading properties are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Where there is a change in use of investment properties evidenced by the commencement of development with a view to sale, the properties are reclassified as trading properties at their cost, which is the carrying value at the date of change in use. They are subsequently carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the trading properties to their present location and condition.

2.11.

Inventories

Inventories include assets held for sale in the ordinary course of the Group's business activities, assets in production or construction process for sale purposes, and materials, supplies or other assets held for consumption in the process of producing sales and/or services.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less selling expenses. It is determined on an ongoing basis, taking into account the product type and aging, based on the accumulated prior experience with the useful life of the product. The Group periodically reviews the inventory and its aging and books an allowance for impairment, as necessary.

The cost of consumable supplies, materials and other assets is determined using the weighted average cost method, the cost of inventories of mobile phones, related accessories and spare parts is priced under the moving average method, and the cost of the remaining inventories is priced under the first in, first out (FIFO) method.

Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Inventories and materials are initially recognized at cash price, and the difference being charged as finance cost.

2.12.

Financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured at amortized cost. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is an equity investment or a debt investment.

Debt investments

A debt investment is classified as “amortized cost” only if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. The nature of any derivatives embedded in the debt investment are considered in determining whether the cash flows of the investment are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and are not accounted for separately.

If either of the two criteria mentioned in the previous paragraph is not met, the debt instrument is classified as “fair value through profit or loss”. The Group has not designated any debt investment as measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Changes in fair values and gains from disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded within “Financial results, net” in the statements of income.

Equity investments

All equity investments, which are not subsidiaries associate companies and joint venture of the Group, are measured at fair value. Equity investments that are held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, the Group can make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. The Group decided to recognize changes in fair value of equity investments through changes in profit or loss.

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value though profit or loss are expensed in the income statement.

In general, the Group uses the transaction price to ascertain the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition. In the other cases, the Group records a gain or loss on initial recognition only if the fair value of the financial instrument can be supported by other comparable transactions observable in the market for the same type of instrument or if based on a technical valuation that only inputs observable market data. Unrecognized gains or losses on initial recognition of a financial asset are recognized later on, only to the extent they arise from a change in factors (including time) that market participants would consider upon setting the price.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Gains/losses on debt instruments measured at amortized cost and not identified for hedging purposes are charged to income where the financial assets are derecognized or an impairment loss is recognized, and during the amortization process under the effective interest method. The Group is required to reclassify all affected debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) the can be reliably estimated. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.13.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities and options

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

The Group manages exposures to various risks using hedging instruments that provide the appropriate economic outcome. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To date, the Group has used put and call options, foreign currency future and forward contracts and interest rate swaps as deemed appropriate.

The Group’s policy is to apply hedge accounting where it is both permissible under IFRS 9, practical to do so and its application reduces volatility, but transactions that may be effective hedges in economic terms may not always qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9.

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

The stock purchase options involving shares of subsidiaries agreed at a fixed price are accounted for under shareholders’ equity.

2.14.

Groups of assets and liabilities held for sale

The groups of assets and liabilities are classified as available for sale where the Group is expected to recover their value by means of a sale transaction (rather than through use) and where such sale is highly probable. Groups of assets and liabilities available for sale are valued at the lower of their net book value and fair value less selling costs.

2.15.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

An allowance for bad debts is recorded where there is objective evidence that the Group may not be able to collect all receivables within their original payment term. Indicators of bad debts include significant financial distress of the debtor, the debtor potentially filing a petition for reorganization or bankruptcy, or any event of default or past due account.

In the case of larger non-homogeneous receivables, the impairment provision is calculated on an individual basis.

The Group collectively evaluates smaller-balance homogeneous receivables for impairment. For that purpose they are grouped on the basis of similar risk characteristics and account asset type, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors are taken into account.

The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of a provision account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statements of income within “Selling expenses”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against “Selling expenses” in the statements of income.

2.16.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.17.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized as finance cost over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

2.18.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized in the statements of income.

(a)

Warranties

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historic data of the warranties granted and all potential results are weighted against associated probabilities.

(b) Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits are lower than the costs of complying with contract obligations. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of expected cost of terminating the contract and the net expected cost of continuing the contract. Before recognizing a provision, the Group recognizes the impairment of the assets related to the mentioned contract.

Irrevocable right of use of the capacity of underwater communication lines

Transactions carried out to acquire an irrevocable right of use of the capacity of underwater communication lines are accounted for as service contracts. The amount paid for the rights of use of the communication lines is recognized as “Prepaid expenses” under trade and other receivables, and is amortized over a straight-line basis during the period set forth in the contract (including the option term), which is the estimated useful life of such capacity.

2.20.

Employee benefits

(a)

Defined contribution plans

The Group operates a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current year or prior periods. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense in the statements of Income in the fiscal year they are incurred.

(b)

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.

(c)

Bonus plans

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(d)

Defined benefit plans

The Group’s net obligation concerning defined benefit plans are calculated on an individual basis for each plan, estimating the future benefits employees have gained in exchange for their services in the current and prior periods. The benefit is disclosed at its present value, net of the fair value of the plan assets. Calculations are made on an annual basis by a qualified actuary.

Other long-term employee benefits

The net obligation of IDBD and its subsidiaries concerning employee long-term benefits, other than retirement plans, is the amount of the future benefits employees have gained in exchange for their services in the current and prior periods. These benefits are discounted at their present values.

(f)

Share-based compensation plan

The fair value of the equity settled awards is measured at the date of grant. The Group measures the fair value using the valuation technique that it considers to be the most appropriate to value each class of award. Methods used may include Black-Scholes calculations or other models as appropriate. The valuations take into account factors such as non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

The fair value of the share-based payment is expensed and charged to income under the straight-line method over the vesting period in which the right to the equity instrument becomes irrevocable (“vesting period”); such value shall be based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Such estimate shall be revised provided subsequent information available indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from original estimates.

2.21.

Current income tax, deferred income tax and minimum presumed income tax

Tax expense for the year comprises the charge for tax currently payable and deferred income. Income tax is recognized in the statements of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statements of financial position in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. The Group periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Group establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the statements of financial position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

F-34

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

The Group is able to control the timing of dividends from its subsidiaries and hence does not expect taxable profit. Hence deferred tax is recognized in respect of the retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries only if at the date of the statements of financial position, dividends have been accrued as receivable or a binding agreement to distribute past earnings in future has been entered into by the subsidiary.

Entities in Argentina are subject to the Minimum Presumed Income Tax (“MPIT”). Pursuant to this tax regime, an entity is required to pay the greater of the income tax or the MPIT. The MPIT provision is calculated on an individual entity basis at the statutory asset tax rate of 1% and is based upon the taxable assets of each company as of the end of the year, as defined by Argentine law. Any excess of the MPIT over the income tax may be carried forward and recognized as a tax credit against future income taxes payable over a 10-year period. When the Group assesses that it is probable that it will use the MPIT payment against future taxable income tax charges within the applicable 10-year period, recognizes the MPIT as a current or non-current receivable, as applicable, within “Trade and other receivables” in the statements of financial position.

2.22.

Cash and cash equivalents

In the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are not included.

2.23.

Revenue recognition

Group's revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Revenue derived from the sale of property is recognized when: (a) material risks and benefits derived from title to property have been transferred; (b) the company does not retain any management function on the assets sold nor does it have any control whatsoever on such assets; (c) the amount of revenues and costs associated to the transaction may be measured on a reliable basis; and (d) the company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction.

Revenue derived from the provision of services is recognized when: (a) the amount of revenue and costs associated to services may be measured on a reliable basis; (b) the company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction, and (c) the level of completion of services may be measured on a reliable basis.

Rental and services - Shopping centers portfolio

Revenues derived from business activities developed in the Group’s shopping centers mainly include rental income under operating leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from several services provided to the Group’s lessees.

Rental income from shopping center properties leased out under operating leases, admission rights and fees related to their real estate agent business, are recognized in the statements of income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.

Contingent rents, being lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are known and can be determined. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.

Lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance charges and collective promotion funds of the Group’s shopping centers are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These common area maintenance charges include all such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the shopping centers. The lessor is responsible for determining the need and suitability of incurring a common area expense. The Group makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considers that it acts as a principal in these cases. Service charge income is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.

Rental and services - Offices and other rental properties

Rental income from offices and other rental properties include rental income from office leased out under operating leases, income for services and expenses recovery paid by tenant.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Rental income from offices and other rental properties leased out under operating leases is recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.

A substantial portion of the Group’s leases require the tenant to reimburse the Group for a substantial portion of operating expenses, usually a proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses. Such property operating expenses includes necessary expenses such as property operating, repairs and maintenance, security, janitorial, insurance, landscaping, leased properties and other administrative expenses, among others. The Group acts as the management of rent properties. The Group makes the original payment for these expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considers that it acts as a principal in these cases. The Group accrues reimbursements from tenants as service charge revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.

Revenue from supermarkets

Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business are recognized at the fair value of the consideration collected or receivable, net of returns and discounts. When the credit term is short and financing is that typical in the industry, consideration is not discounted. When the credit term is longer than the industry’s average, in accounting for the consideration, the Group discounts it to its net present value by using the client’s risk premium or the market rate. The difference between the fair value and the nominal amount is accounted for under financial income. If discounts are granted and their amount can be measured reliably, the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue.

Generally, the Group recognizes revenue upon delivery of goods to the client. In international sales, revenue is recognized upon loading goods with the forwarder. Where two or more products are sold under one single contract, the Group separates each component and gives them a separate accounting treatment. The attribution of value to each component is based on the relative fair value of each unit. Should the fair value not be measurable on a reliable basis, then revenue is attributed based on the difference arising between the total amount of the executed contract and the fair value of the goods delivered.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

As regards client loyalty programs, the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in relation to the initial sale is allocated across the rewards credits and the other components of the sale. The amount allocated to rewards credits is estimated based on the market value of the goods to be delivered. The fair value of the right to purchase products at a discount is calculated considering the expected exchange ratio and the expected terms. Such amount is deferred and revenue is recognized only where rewards credits are exchanged and the Group has complied with its obligation to provide the products at a discount, or else when such reward credits have expired. The amount of revenue recognized under such circumstances is based on the number of reward credits that have been exchanged for products with discounts, in relation to the total number of reward credits expected to be exchanged. Deferred revenue is then reversed when reward credits are no longer likely to be exchanged.

In addition, when the Group acts as agent and not as main supplier in a transaction, revenue is recognized at the net amount of commissions. Revenue from commissions is recognized based on transactions conducted by credit card companies at the rate and on the date they are credited. Revenue from credit margins of credit cards is recognized on the date the client is bound to pay and revenue for subscription fees is recognized on a monthly basis.

Revenue from communication services and sale of communication equipment

Revenue derived from the use of communication networks by the Group, including mobile phones, Internet services, international calls, fixed line calls, interconnection rates and roaming service rates, are recognized when the service is provided, proportionally to the extent the transaction has been realized, and provided all other criteria have been met for revenue recognition.

Revenue from the sale of mobile phone cards are initially recognized as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue as they are used or upon expiration, whichever takes place earlier.

A transaction involving the sale of equipment to a final user normally also involves a service sale transaction. In general, this type of sale is performed without a contractual obligation by the client to consume telephone services for a minimum amount over a predetermined period. As a result, the Group records the sale of equipment separately and recognizes revenue pursuant to the transaction value upon delivery of the equipment to the client. Revenue from telephone services are recognized and accounted for as they are provided. When the client is bound to make a minimum consumption of services during a predefined period, the contract formalizes a transaction of several elements and, therefore, revenue from the sale of equipment is recorded at an amount that should not exceed its fair value, and is recognized upon delivery of the equipment to the client and provided the criteria for recognition are met. The Group ascertains the fair value of individual elements, based on the price at which it is normally sold, after taking into account the relevant discounts.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Revenue derived from long-term contracts is recognized at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at market rates prevailing on the transaction date. Any difference between the original credit and its net present value is accounted for as interest income over the credit term.

Revenue from tourism services

Revenue from tourism services is recognized when the following conditions are met:

▪

The revenue amount may be reliably measured;

▪

the economic benefits associated to the transaction are expected to have an impact on the Group;

▪

the degree of completion of the transaction may be measured on a reliable basis; and

▪

expenses incurred in relation to the transaction as well as all necessary costs to finalize the transaction may be reliably measured.

2.24.

Cost of sale

The cost of sales of supermarkets, includes the acquisition costs for the products less discounts granted by suppliers, as well as all expenses associated with storing and handling inventories. It also includes operational and management costs for shopping centers held by the Group as part of its real estate investments.

The Group’s cost of sales in relation to the supply of communication services mainly includes the costs to purchase equipment, salaries and related expenses, service costs, royalties, ongoing license dues, interconnection and roaming expenses, cell tower lease costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and maintenance expenses directly related to the services provided.

2.25.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

When any Group company purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. When such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

Comparability of information

Balance items as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 shown in these financial statements for comparative purposes arise from the Consolidated Financial Statements then ended. Certain reclassifications have been made in order to present figures comparatively with those of this year. Note 2.1.(a)

As required by IFRS 3, the information of IDBD is included in the financial statements of the Group as from the acquisition date, and the prior periods are not modified by this situation. Therefore, the financial information consolidated for periods after the acquisition is not comparative with prior periods.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Argentine Peso devalued against the US$ and other currencies by around 65%. This has an impact in comparative information presented in these Financial Statements, due mainly to the currency exposure of our income and costs from "offices and other properties" segment, and our assets and liabilities in foreign currency (mainly assets and liabilities of the Operations Center in Israel).

Acquisition and dispositions

IDBD

Control obtainment

On May 7, 2014, a transaction was agreed whereby the Group, acting indirectly through Dolphin, acquired jointly with ETH (a non-related company established under the laws of the State of Israel to the Company best knowledge controlled by Mordechay Ben Moshé), an aggregate number of 106.6 million common shares in IDBD, representing 53.30% of its stock capital, under the scope of the debt restructuring arrangement of IDBH, IDBD's parent company, with its creditors (the "Arrangement").

Under the terms of the agreement entered into between Dolphin and ETH (the "Shareholders' Agreement"), Dolphin acquired 50% interest in this investment, and ETH acquired the remaining 50%. The initial total investment amount was NIS 950 million, equivalent to approximately US$ 272 million at the exchange rate prevailing on that date.

(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Acquisition and dispositions (Continued)

On June 10 and 11, 2015, Dolphin gave notice to ETH of its intention to buy all the shares of IDBD held by ETH.

After certain aspects of the offer were resolved through an arbitration process brought by Dolphin and ETH, on September 24, 2015, the competent arbitrator resolved that:

(i)

Dolphin and IFISA (related company to the Group) were entitled to act as buyers in the BMBY process, and ETH had to sell all of the IDBD shares held by it (92,665,925 shares) at a price of NIS 1.64 per share;

(ii)

The buyer had to fulfill all of the commitments included in the Arrangement, including the commitment to carry out Tender Offers whose responsibility belonged to Dolphin; (iii) The buyer had to pledge the shares that seller had pledged to them in favor of the Arrangement Trustees.

On October 11, 2015, the BMBY process concluded, and IFISA acquired all IDBD's shares of stock held by ETH. Consequently, the Shareholders' Agreement ceased and members of IDBD's Board of Directors representing ETH submitted their irrevocable resignation to the Board, therefore Dolphin was hence empowered to appoint the new members to the Board. Additionally, on the same date, Dolphin pledged additional shares as collateral to secure compliance with the IDBD stock purchase agreement, thereby increasing the number of pledged shares to 64,067,710. Consequently, the Group gained the sole control of IDBD and started to consolidate financial statements as from that date.

In addition to the competent arbitrator’s decision issued on September 24, 2015, ETH and Dolphin still have counterclaims of different kinds which are subject to such arbitration proceeding. As of the filing date of these financial statements, the proceeding is still being heard.

The value of the non-controlling interest in IDBD has been determined on a proportional basis to the fair value of net acquired assets and the fair value of warrants.

Following the control of IDBD, the cumulative currency translation accumulated in shareholders’ equity from the interest held in IDBD before the business combination in the amount of Ps. 91 was recognized in the statement of income. Such result was disclosed under "Other operating results, net" line in the statement of income.

Acquisition and dispositions (Continued)

The revenues IDBD has generated since October 11, 2015 and that have been disclosed in the consolidated statement of income amount to Ps. 28,229. IDBD has also run a net result of Ps. (1,984) during said period. If IDBD had been included in the consolidation since July 1st, 2015, the Group´s consolidated income statement would have shown pro-forma revenues in the amount of Ps. 49,637 and pro-forma net result of Ps. (1,992).

Later on, following the exercise of BMBY, Dolphin has entered into an option agreement with IFISA that grants Dolphin the right, but not the obligation, to acquire 92,665,925 shares in IDBD which IFISA acquired in the BMBY process at a price per share of NIS 1.64 plus an annual interest rate of 8.5%. The exercise date for the option extends for two years. Additionally, Dolphin is entitled to a first refusal right in case that IFISA agrees to sell these shares to a third party. The value of the option agreement as of June 30, 2016 is zero.

Acquisition of non-controlling interest

Dolphin was required to carry out the first tranche of tender offers in December 2015. Before expiration of such first tranche, Dolphin and the agreement trustees (the " trustees") entered into an extension agreement (the "Extension Agreement"), which was replaced by the final agreement approved by approximately 95% of the non-controlling shareholders of IDBD (excluding IFISA) and by warrants holders of IDBD on March 2, 2016 and by the competent court on March 10, 2016. The major amendments to the Agreement were:

(i)

Replacement of the obligation to conduct tender offers as previously established under an agreement whereby Dolphin would purchase all the shares outstanding on March 29, 2016 from non-controlling shareholders of IDBD (except for those held by IFISA) on March 31, 2016. On March 29, 2016, all IDBD shares would cease to be traded in the TASE. On that date, all IDBD warrants held by non-controlling shareholders would expire and Dolphin would make capital contributions to IDBD or grant subordinate loans, as described hereafter.

(ii)

The price to be paid for each IDBD share held by non-controlling shareholders on March 29, 2016 would be NIS 1.25 in cash, plus NIS 1.20 adjusted nominal value in bonds of the IDBD Series 9 (the “IDBD Bonds”), which IDBD will issue directly to non-controlling shareholders and holders of warrants, and Dolphin will inject funds into IDBD equal to the adjusted nominal value of IDBD Bonds. Additionally, Dolphin would undertake to pay NIS 1.05 (subject to adjustments) in cash if Dolphin, either directly or indirectly, gain control of Clal, or else if IDBD sells a controlling shareholding in Clal under certain parameters (the “Clal payment”), which refers mainly to Clal’s sale price (at a price which exceeds 75% of its book value upon execution of the sale agreement, subject to adjustments) and, under certain circumstances, the proportion of Clal shares sold by IDBD.

(iii)

(iv)

Dolphin compromised that would provide IDBD a total amount of NIS 515 million (the “Contribution to IDBD”), out of which it has already contributed NIS 15 million in February 2016 and NIS 85 million in March 2016. The amount injected to IDBD would be reduced by any capital contribution resulting from the exercise of warrants held by non-controlling shareholders (maximum amount of approximately NIS 37.5 million). The contribution to IDBD would further cover the IDBD Bonds necessary to comply with the transactions described above (between NIS 166.5 million and NIS 178 million), and the balance would be contributed until completing the amount committed by Dolphin either as a capital contribution or as a subordinated loan (between NIS 284.5 million and NIS 333.5 million).

(v)

Dolphin had to pledge 28% of its IDBD shares, as well as all rights held by Dolphin in relation to the subordinated loan granted in the amount of NIS 210 million in December 2015, until the payment obligation for Clal has been completed or has expired, after which the pledge will be discharged. Should new shares be issued by IDBD, Dolphin will have to pledge additional shares until completing the 28% of all IDBD share capital. This pledge supersedes the existing pledge on approximately 64 million shares of IDBD and all Dolphin’s rights in relation to the Subordinated Loan.

(vi)

Additionally, Dolphin agreed not to exercise its right to convert the subordinated loans into shares of IDBD until the pledge described above has been released. Should the pledge on subordinated loans be exercised by the Arrangement Trustees, then those trustees may convert the subordinated loans into shares; however, in such case, the maximum percentage of the IDBD capital that may be pledged is 35%, and any shares in excess of such amount will be released from the pledge.

As a result of the description above, on March 31, 2016: (i) Dolphin acquired all shares from IDBD’ non-controlling shareholders (except for IFISAS), (ii) all warrants held by IDBD non-controlling shareholders expired, and (iii) Dolphin made additional contributions to IDBD via subordinated loans pursuant to the agreement. All commitments to invest in IDBD by Dolphin have been fully complied so that the only obligation still pending is the Clal payment, provided the conditions herein described are met. Additionally, Dolphin is bound to exercise its warrants in the event the following conditions occur jointly:

(i)

An agreement is reached to renegotiate the debt covenants of IDBD and its subsidiaries;

(ii)

Control over Clal is secured.

Should both situations take place, the obligation would amount to NIS 391 million. The warrants mature on February 10, 2018.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Group acquired, through IRSA CP, a building next to Alto Palermo Shopping for US$ 3.8 million. Additionally the Group sold floors corresponding to Maipú 1300 building, Bouchard 551 and the entire buildings Mayo 589, Rivadavia 565, Costeros Dique IV Constitución 1159 and parking spaces in Maipú 1300, Bouchard 551 and Libertador 498 buildings for a total amount of Ps. 402. All sales mentioned above led to a combined profit for the Group of Ps. 236, disclosed within the line “Gain from disposal of investment properties” in the statement of income.

Acquisition of additional interest in BHSA

During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Group acquired 3,289,029 additional shares of BHSA in a total amount of Ps. 14.2, thus increasing its interest in such company from 29.77% to 29.99%, without consideration of treasury shares. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Group sold 1,115,165 shares of BHSA in a total amount of Ps. 7.7, thus increasing its interest to 29.91%, without consideration of treasury shares.

Sale of Associates

On February 5, 2014, the Group, through Ritelco, sold its interest in Bitania, representing 49% of its capital stock, for an amount of US$ 4.2 million. Such transaction generated a net gain of approximately Ps. 13.3, which are shown in the line "Other operating results, net" in the Statements of income.

BACS

The Group through Tyrus, subscribed a purchase-sale agreement of shares of BACS, representing an interest of 6.125%. The transaction amounts to US$ 1.35 million. This operation is yet to be approved by the BCRA as of June 30, 2016, according to regulations in force. The advance payment related to this transaction is disclosed in “Trade receivables and other receivables”. On August 24, 2016, the operation was approved by the BCRA.

The Group through IRSA, on June 17, 2015, subscribed Convertible Notes, issued by BACS for a nominal value of 100,000,000, which are convertible into common shares.

On June 21, 2016, we notified BACS on their right to convert all of the Convertible Notes into common shares.

As a consequence, BACS initiated the relevant diligence before the Argentine Central Bank in order to secure the authorization to issue the shares in our favor.

Rigby capital reduction

During fiscal year 2015, Rigby reduced its capital stock by distributing among existing shareholders, proportionally to their shareholdings, the gain made on the sale of Madison building. The total amount distributed is US$ 103.8 million, of which the Group received US$ 77.4 million (US$ 26.5 million through IRSA International and US$ 50.9 million through IMadison LLC) and US$ 26.4 million were distributed to other shareholders. As a result of such reduction, the Group has decided to reverse the corresponding accumulated conversion difference on a pro rata basis, which amounted to Ps. 188.3. This reversal has been recognized in the line "Other operating results, net" in the Statements of income.

Financial risk management and fair value

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, indexing risk due to specific clauses and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. Within the Group, risk management functions are conducted in relation to financial risks associated to financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during a certain period or as of a specific date.

Financial risk management and fair value (Continued)

The general risk management policies of the Group seek both to minimize adverse potential effects on the financial performance of the Group and to manage and control the financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on its internal management risk policies, as explained below.

Given the diversity of characteristics corresponding to the business conducted in its operations centers, the Group has decentralized the risk management policies geographically based on its two operations centers in order to identify and properly analyze the various types of risks to which each of the subsidiaries is exposed.

Below is a list of the main risk management policies of each of the operations centers:

4.1 Risk management in the operations center in Argentina:

The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks. Financial risks are risks arising from financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during or at the end of the reporting period. Financial risk comprises market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

The Group’s diverse activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks in the normal course of business. The Group’s overall risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the Group’s capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control the Group’s financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on its internal management risk policies.

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, interest bearing assets and liabilities, other financial liabilities, other investments and derivative financial instruments. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies.

The Group’s management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments. The Group has established a Risk Committee, comprising Senior Management and a member of Cresud’s Audit Committee (Parent Company of IRSA), which reviews and oversees management’s compliance with these policies, procedures and limits and has overall accountability for the identification and management of risk across the Group.

Financial risk management and fair value (Continued)

4.1 Risk management in the operations center in Argentina (Continued)

This section provides a description of the principal risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

The analysis of sensitivities to market risks included below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the factors may be correlated – for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.

This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view. The actual impact on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.

(a)

Market risk management

The market risk is the risk of changes in the market price of financial instruments with whom the Group operates. The Group’s market risks arise from open positions in foreign currencies, interest-bearing assets and liabilities and equity securities of certain companies, to the extent that these are exposed to market value movements. The Group sets limits on the exposure to these risks that may be accepted, which are monitored on a regular basis.

Foreign Exchange risk and associated derivative financial instruments

The Group publishes its consolidated financial statements in Argentine pesos but conducts operations and holds positions in other currencies. As a result, the Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk through exchange rate movements, which affect the value of the Group’s foreign currency positions. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

The real estate, commercial and/or financial activities of the Group’s subsidiaries from the operations center in Argentina have the Argentine Peso as functional currency. An important part of the business activities of these subsidiaries is conducted in that currency, thus not exposing the Group to foreign exchange risk. Other Group's subsidiaries have other functional currencies, principally US dollar. In the ordinary course of business, the Group, through its subsidiaries, transacts in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. These transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars and New Israeli Shekel. Net financial position exposure to the functional currencies is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by entering into foreign currency derivative instruments and/or by borrowings in foreign currencies, or other methods, considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against the respective functional currencies at year-end would increase loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2016 for an amount of Ps. 536. A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the statements of income.

On the other hand, the Group also uses derivatives, such as forward exchange contracts, to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk. As of June 30, 2016 there are future exchange contracts pending in the amount of US$ 21 million. Net book value of future exchange contracts amounts to Ps. (3).

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its investments in debt instruments, short-term and long-term borrowings and derivative financial instruments.

The primary objective of the Group’s investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Group. The Group maintains a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including both government and corporate obligations and money market funds.

Financial risk management and fair value (Continued)

4.1 Risk management in the operations center in Argentina (Continued)

The Group’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 21). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group manages this risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities. These activities are evaluated regularly to determine that the Group is not exposed to interest rate fluctuations that could adversely impact its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowing covenants.

The Group occasionally manages its cash flow interest rate risk exposure by different hedging instruments, including but not limited to interest rate swap, depending on each particular case. For example, interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates or vice versa.

The interest rate risk policy is approved by the Board of Directors. Management analyses the Group’s interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated, taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing sources. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions. Trade payables are normally interest-free and have settlement dates within one year. The simulation is done on a regular basis to verify that the maximum potential loss is within the limits set by management.

Note 21 shows a breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings per currency denomination and functional currency of the subsidiary issuing the loans for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would increase net loss before income tax for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, in Ps. 13.7. A 1% decrease in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the statement of income.

Other price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk or derivative financial instruments because of investments held in entities that are publicly traded, which were classified on the consolidated statements of financial position at “fair value through profit or loss”. The Group regularly reviews the prices evolution of these equity securities in order to identify significant movements.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the total value of Group´s investments in shares and derivative financial instruments of public companies amounts to Ps. 822 and Ps. 1,803, respectively.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% decrease in quoted prices of equity securities and in derivative financial instruments portfolio at year-end would generate a loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2016 of Ps. 82. An increase of 10% on these prices would have an equal and opposite effect in the statement of income.

(b)

Credit risk management

The credit risk arises from the potential non-performance of contractual obligations by the parties, with a resulting financial loss for the Group. Credit limits have been established to ensure that the Group deals only with approved counterparties and that counterparty concentration risk is addressed and the risk of loss is mitigated. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the Group.

The Group is subject to credit risk arising from deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments of surplus cash balances, the use of derivative financial instruments and from outstanding receivables Credit risk is managed on a country-by-country basis. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk.

The Group’s policy is to manage credit exposure to deposits, short-term investments and other financial instruments by maintaining diversified funding sources in various financial institutions. All the institutions that operate with the Group are well known because of their experience in the market and high credit quality. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents, investments, and other financial instruments with various high credit quality financial institutions, thus mitigating the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of financial position.

4.1 Risk management in the operations center in Argentina (Continued)

Trade receivables related to leases and services provided by the Group represent a diversified tenant base and account for 94.9% and 97.4% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Group has specific policies to ensure that rental contracts are transacted with counterparties with appropriate credit quality. The majority of the Group’s shopping center, offices and other rental properties’ tenants are well recognized retailers, diversified companies, professional organizations, and others. Owing to the long-term nature and diversity of its tenancy arrangements, the credit risk of this type of trade receivables is considered to be low. Generally, the Group has not experienced any significant losses resulting from the non-performance of any counterpart to the lease contracts and, as a result, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is low. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Group. If there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its past experience, financial position, actual experience and other factors. Based on the Group’s analysis, the Group determines the size of the deposit that is required from the tenant at inception. Management does not expect any material losses from non-performance by these counterparties. See details on Note 15.

On the other hand, property receivables related to the sale of trading properties represent 3.7% and 0.16% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Payments on these receivables have generally been received when due. These receivables are generally secured by mortgages on the properties. Therefore, the credit risk on outstanding amounts is considered very low.

(c)

Liquidity risk management

The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, the risk that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements, and the risk that financial assets cannot readily be converted to cash without loss of value. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the Group’s cash flow and statements of financial position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources.

The Group monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow; debt maturity; and interest rate exposure. The Group also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates and changes in property values on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.

4.1 Risk management in the operations center in Argentina (Continued)

The Group’s debt and derivative positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. The Group maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed in accordance with Group’s needs, by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities, as appropriate.

The tables below show financial liabilities, including Group’s derivative financial liabilities groupings based on the remaining period at the statements of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result, they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the statements of financial position. However, undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the statements of financial position, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The tables include both interest and principal flows.

Where the interest payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the existing conditions at the reporting date.

Capital risk management

The capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders’ equity and net borrowings. The type and maturity of the Group’s borrowings are analyzed further in Note 24. The Group’s equity is analyzed into its various components in the statements of changes in equity.

Capital is managed so as to promote the long-term success of the business and to maintain sustainable returns for shareholders.

The Group seeks to manage its capital requirements to maximize value through the mix of debt and equity funding, while ensuring that Group entities continue to operate as going concerns, comply with applicable capital requirements and maintain strong credit ratings.

The Group assesses the adequacy of its capital requirements, cost of capital and gearing (i.e. debt/equity mix) as part of its broader strategic plan. The Group continuously reviews its capital structure to ensure that (i) sufficient funds and financing facilities are available to implement the Group’s property development and business acquisition strategies, (ii) adequate financing facilities for unforeseen contingencies are maintained, and (iii) distributions to shareholders are maintained within the Group’s dividend distribution policy. The Group also protects its equity in assets by taking out insurance.

The Group’s strategy is to maintain key financing metrics (net debt to total equity ratio or gearing and debt ratio) in order to ensure that asset level performance is translated into enhanced returns for shareholders whilst maintaining an appropriate risk reward balance to accommodate changing financial and operating market cycles.

The following table details the Group’s key metrics in relation to managing its capital structure. The ratios are within the ranges previously established by the Group´s strategy.

	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015
Gearing ratio (i)	89.24%	68.77%
Debt ratio (ii)	29.39%	20.38%

(i)

Calculated as total of current and non-current borrowings divided by total current and non-current borrowings plus equity of the parent company.

(ii)

Calculated as total current and non-current borrowings over total properties at fair value (including trading properties, properties plants and equipment, property investments and right to receive future units under barter agreements).

Property risk

There are several risks affecting the Group’s property investments. The composition of the Group’s property portfolio including asset concentration and lot size may affect liquidity and relative property performance. The Group has a large multi-asset portfolio and monitors its concentration and average lot size.

A change in trends and economic conditions causes shifts in customer demands for properties and impacts on new lettings, renewal of existing leases and reduces rental growth. In addition, increases risk of tenant insolvencies. The Group conducts several actions to mitigate some of these risks whenever possible. The variety of asset types and geographical spread as well as a diversified tenant base, with monitoring of its concentration, helps mitigating these risks.

The development, administration and profitability of shopping centers are impacted by various factors including: the accessibility and the attractiveness of the area where the shopping center is located. The intrinsic attractiveness of it, the flow of people, the level of sales of each shopping center rental unit, the increasing competition from internet sales, the amount of rent collected from each shopping center rental unit and the fluctuations in occupancy levels. In the event that there is an increase in operational costs, caused by inflation or other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group if its tenants are unable to pay their higher rent obligations due to the increase in expenses. Argentine Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six months upon not less than sixty days written notice, subject to penalties of only one-and-a-half month rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of the lease, and one-month rent if the tenant rescinds during the second year of the lease. The exercise of such rescission rights could materially and adversely affect the Group.

4.1 Risk management in the operations center in Argentina (Continued)

Risks associated with development properties activities include the following: a) the potential abandonment of development opportunities; b) construction costs exceeding original estimates, possibly making a project uneconomical; c) occupancy rates and rents at newly completed projects may be insufficient to make the project profitable. On the other hand, a) the Group may not be able to obtain financing favorable terms for the development of the project, b) construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs, c) the Group may not be able to obtain, or delay in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, d) preconstruction buyers may default on their purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon completion of constructions, and e) prices for residential units may be insufficient to cover development cost. The Group also takes several actions to monitor these risks and respond appropriately whenever it is under its control. The Group has in-house property market research capability and development teams that monitor development risks closely. The Group generally adopts conservative assumptions on leasing and other variables and monitors the level of committed future capital expenditure on development programs relative to the level of undrawn facilities.

The Group’s hotel properties face specific risks as well. The success of the Group’s hotel properties will depend, in large part, upon the Group’s ability to compete in areas such as access, location, quality of accommodations, room rate structure and the quality and type of services offered. The Group’s hotels may face additional competition if other companies decide to build new hotels or improve their existing hotels such that they are more attractive to potential guests. In addition, their profitability depends on (i) the Group’s ability to form successful relationships with international operators to run the hotels; (ii) changes in travel patterns, including seasonal changes; and (iii) taxes and governmental regulations which influence or determine wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs.

4.2 Risk management in the operations center in Israel:

Given the diversity of the activities conducted by IDBD and its subsidiaries, and the resulting risks, IDBD manages the exposure to its own key financial risks and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (except for IDB Tourism) in conformity with a centralized risk management policy, with the non-wholly owned IDBD subsidiaries being responsible for establishing the risk policy, taking action to cover market risks and managing their activities in a decentralized fashion. Both IDBD as holding and each subsidiary are responsible for managing their own financial risks in accordance with agreed global guidelines. The Chief Financial Officers of each entity are responsible for managing the risk management policies and systems, the definition of hedging strategies, insofar as applicable and based on any restriction that may be apply as a result of financial debt, the supervision of its implementation and the answer to such restrictions. The management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments.

This section provides a description of the principal risks related to the operations center in Israel that could have a material adverse effect on the IDBD’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

(a)

Market risk management

Foreign currency risk

Real estate, business and/or financial activities of IDBD subsidiaries in the operations center in Israel are developed mainly in Israeli currency, although some operations, mostly borrowing, are expressed in US dollars, thereby exposing IDBD to a foreign currency risk.

Net financial position exposure to the functional currencies is decentralized managed on a case-by-case basis, by entering into foreign currency derivative instruments and/or by borrowings in foreign currencies, as the case may be, or by other methods, considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.

As of June 30, 2016, the Israeli subsidiaries’ net financial position, which exposes the Group to the foreign currency risk, amounts to a liability of Ps. 12,415. The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 5% appreciation of the US dollar against the Israeli currency would increase loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2016 for an amount of Ps. 498. An equivalent depreciation of the Israeli currency would have result in a profit before income tax for the year June 30, 2016 for an amount of Ps. 489.

4.2 Risk management in the operations center in Israel (Continued)

Risk of fluctuations of the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") of Israel

IDBD has financial liabilities indexed by the Israeli CPI. As of the balance sheet date, more than half of the financial liabilities arising from the center of operations in Israel were adjusted by the Israeli CPI.

Net financial position exposure to the Israeli CPI fluctuations is decentralized managed on a case-by-case basis, by entering into derivative financial instruments, as the case may be, or by other methods, considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% appreciation of the CPI would increase loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2016 for an amount of Ps. 415. An equivalent depreciation of the CPI would have result in a profit before income tax for the year June 30, 2016 for an amount of Ps. 319.

Interest rate risk

The IDBD’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (See Note 21). Borrowings issued at floating rate expose IDBD to cash flow interest rate risk, partially compensated by financial assets at floating interest rate. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose IDBD to fair value interest rate risk.

IDBD manages the exposure to the interest rate risk on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated by IDBD, taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing sources or hedging instruments, maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities. The exposure to the interest rate risk is managed in a decentralized fashion and is monitored regularly by different management offices with a view to confirming that there are no adverse effects over its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowings covenants.

As of the date of these financial statements, approximately 96% of the Group’s long-term financial borrowings in the operations center in Israel are at fixed interest rate; therefore, IDBD is not significantly exposed to the interest rate fluctuation risk.

IDBD estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would increase net loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2016, in Ps. 25, approximately. An equivalent decrease of the floating rates would have result in a profit before income tax for the year June 30, 2016 for an amount of Ps. 26.

Other price risk

IDBD is exposed to equity securities price risk or derivative financial instruments price risk because of investments held in entities that are publicly traded.

4.2 Risk management in the operations center in Israel (Continued)

As indicated in Note 16, investment in Clal is classified on the statements of financial position at "fair value through profit or loss" and represents the most significant IDBD’s exposure to price risk. IDBD has not used hedging against these risks.

IDBD regularly reviews the prices evolution of these equity securities in order to identify significant movements.

(b)

Credit risk management

The credit risk arises from the potential non-performance of contractual obligations by the parties, with a resulting financial loss for IDBD. IDBD’s credit risk, as well as that of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (except for IDB Tourism), is managed in a centralized manner by IDBD. In contrast, the credit risk of the other subsidiaries is managed in a decentralized fashion by each subsidiary. Each entity is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk and limits have been established to ensure that IDBD deals only with approved counterparties and that counterparty concentration risk is addressed and the risk of loss is mitigated. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to IDBD.

IDBD and subsidiaries invest their surplus liquidity so as to obtain a fair return on it, while maintaining a suitable return-risk ratio, in solid channels – mainly short-term shekel deposits in a number of major Israeli financial institutions, and they also invest in liquid securities, which mainly include trust funds, exchange traded funds, government and corporate bonds with a rating of at least A- and corporate bonds abroad have been rated with the international rating of Investment Grade and above. In addition, the maximum percentage of securities of a single issuer, which IDBD or a subsidiary holds in its portfolio does not exceed 10% of the value of its investment portfolio. IDBD and subsidiaries carry out transactions in derivative financial instruments only through banking corporations and entities that are required to maintain collateral levels in accordance with scenarios.

4.2 Risk management in the operations center in Israel (Continued)

IDBD’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. IDBD generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to each counterparty. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty’s obligations exceed the obligations that IDBD has with that counterparty. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is representing by the carrying value of the assets positions of these instruments.

The IDBD’s policy is to manage credit exposure to trade and other receivables within defined trading limits. All IDBD’s significant counterparties have internal trading limits.

Trade receivables from investment and development property activities are primarily derived from leases and services from shopping centers, office and other rental properties; receivables from the sale of trading properties and investment properties (primarily undeveloped land and non-retail rental properties). IDBD has a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer. (See Note 15 for details).

There is not a high credit risk concentration in trade receivables from telecommunications and supermarket activity, as the business does not rely on few customers and most of the transactions are paid in cash or credit card. (See Note 15 for details).

(c)

Liquidity risk management

The most important risk in the operations center in Israel is the liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, the risk that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements, and the risk that financial assets cannot readily be converted to cash without loss of value. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the IDBD’s cash flow and statements of financial position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, IDBD aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources.

IDBD monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow forecasts; debt maturity; and interest rate exposure. IDBD also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates and changes in property values on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.

4.2 Risk management in the operations center in Israel (Continued)

IDBD’s debt and derivative positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. IDBD maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium- to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed in accordance with IDBD’s needs, by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities, as appropriate.

The table below shows financial liabilities, including Group’s derivative financial liabilities groupings based on the remaining period at the statements of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result, they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the statements of financial position.

However, undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the statements of financial position, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The tables include both interest and principal flows.

Where the interest payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the existing conditions at the reporting date.

5. Significant judgments, key assumptions and judgments

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

Estimation	Main assumptions	Potential implications	Main references
Business combination - Allocation of acquisition prices	Assumptions regarding timing, amount of future revenues and expenses, revenue growth, expected rate of return, economic conditions, discount rate, among other.	Should the assumptions made be inaccurate, the recognized combination may not be correct.	Note 3 – Acquisitions and dispositions
Recoverable amounts of cash-generating units (even those including goodwill), associates and assets.	The discount rate and the expected growth rate before taxes in connection with cash-generating units. The discount rate and the expected growth rate after taxes in connection with associates. Cash flows are determined based on past experiences with the asset or with similar assets and in accordance with the Group’s best factual assumption relative to the economic conditions expected to prevail. Business continuity and share market value of the public companies in connection with cash-generating units. Appraisals made by external appraisers and valuators with relation to the assets’ fair value, net of realization costs (including real estate assets).	Should any of the assumptions made be inaccurate, this could lead to differences in the recoverable values of cash-generating units.	Note 10 – Investment properties Note 11 – Property, plant and equipment Note 13 – Intangible assets
Control, joint control or significant influence	Judgment relative to the determination that the Group holds an interest in the shares of investees (considering the existence and influence of significant potential voting rights), its right to designate members in the executive management of such companies (usually the Board of directors) based on the investees’ bylaws; the composition and the rights of other shareholders of such investees and their capacity to establish operating and financial policies for investees or to take part in the establishment thereof.	Accounting treatment of investments as subsidiaries (consolidation) or associates (equity method)	Note 2.3
Estimated useful life of intangible assets, investment properties and property, plant and equipment	Estimated useful life of assets based on their conditions.

Fair value valuation of investment properties	Fair value valuation made by external appraisers and valuators.	Incorrect exposure of investment property values	Note 10 – Investment properties
Income tax	The Group estimates the income tax amount payable for transactions where the Treasury’s Claim cannot be clearly determined. Additionally, the Group evaluates the recoverability of assets due to deferred taxes considering whether some or all of the assets will not be recoverable.	Upon the improper determination of the provision for income tax, the Group will be bound to pay additional taxes, including fines and compensatory and punitive interest.	Note 22 – Taxes
Allowance for doubtful accounts	A periodic review is conducted of receivables risks in the Group’s clients’ portfolios.

Segment information

IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM. According to IFRS 8, the CODM represents a function whereby strategic decisions are made and resources are assigned. The CODM function is carried out by the President of the Group, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain. In addition, and due to the acquisition of IDBD, two responsibility levels have been established for resource allocation and assessment of results of the two operations centers, through executive committees in Argentina and Israel.

Following the control of IDBD, the Group reports its financial and equity performance based on the new segment structure for the year- end 2016.

Segment information is now reported from two perspectives: geographic presence and products and services. From the geographic point of view, the Group has established two Operations Centers to manage its global interests: Argentina and Israel. Within each operations center, the Group considers separately the various activities being developed, which represent reporting operating segments given the nature of its products, services, operations and risks. Management believes the operating segment clustering in each operations center reflects similar economic characteristics in each region, as well as similar products and services offered, types of clients and regulatory environments.

Below is the segment information prepared as follows:

Operations center in Argentina:

Within this center, the Group operates in the following segments:

The “Offices and others” segment includes the assets and operating results from lease revenues of offices and other rental space and other service revenues related to the office activities.

Segment information (Continued)

The "Hotels" segment includes the operating results of hotels mainly comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.

The “International” segment includes assets and operating profit or loss from business related to associates Condor and Lipstick. Through these associates, the Group derives revenue from hotels and an office building in United States, respectively. Until September 30, 2014, this segment included revenue from a subsidiary that owned the building located at 183 Madison Ave in New York, United States, which was sold on September 29, 2014. Additionally, until October 11, 2015, this international segment only included results from the investment in IDBD carried at fair value.

The “Financial operations and others” segment primarily includes the financial activities carried out by BHSA and Tarshop and other residual financial operations.

The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of operating segments of this operations center based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the equity in earnings of joint ventures and associates. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, except for the following:

Operating results from Shopping Centers and Offices segments do not include the amounts pertaining to building administration expenses and collective promotion funds (“FPC”, as per its Spanish acronym) as well as total recovered costs, whether by way of expenses or other concepts included under financial results (for example default interest and other concepts). The CODM examines the net amount from these items (total surplus or deficit between building administration expenses and FPC and recoverable expenses).

(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Segment information (Continued)

The assets’ categories examined by the CODM are: investment properties, property, plant and equipment, trading properties, inventories, right to receive future units under barter agreements, investment in associates and goodwill. The sum of these assets, classified by business segment, is reported under “assets by segment”. Assets are allocated to each segment based on the operations and/or their physical location.

Revenues for each reporting segments derive from a large and diverse client base and, therefore, there is no revenue concentration in any particular segment.

Operations center in Israel:

Within this center, the Group operates in the following segments:

The “Real Estate” segment includes mainly assets and operating income derived from business related to the subsidiary PBC. Through PBC, the Group operates rental properties and residential properties in Israel, United States and other parts of the world and carries out commercial projects in Las Vegas.

The “Supermarkets” segment includes assets and operating income derived from the business related to the subsidiary Shufersal. Through Shufersal, the Group mainly operates a supermarket chain in Israel.

The “Agrochemicals” segment includes income derived from the associate Adama. Adama is a company specialized in agrochemicals, particularly for the production of crops.

The “Telecommunications” segment includes assets and operating income derived from the business related to the subsidiary Cellcom. Cellcom is a provider of telecommunication services and its main activities include the provision of mobile phone services, fixed line phone services, data and Internet, among others.

Segment information (Continued)

The "Insurance" segment includes the investment in Clal. This company is one of the most important insurance groups in Israel, and is mainly engaged in pension and social security insurance, among others. As indicated in Note 16, 51% of the controlling shares of Clal are held in a trust following the instructions of the Israel Securities Commission in order to comply with the sale of the controlling shares of Clal. As a result, the Company is not fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis but rather in a single line as a financial instrument at fair value, as required by the IFRS under the current circumstances where no control is exercised.

The "Others" segment includes the assets and income derived from other diverse business activities, such as technological developments, tourism, oil and gas assets, electronics, and others.

As indicated under Note 2, the Group decided to consolidate income derived from its operations center in Israel with a three-month lag, adjusted for the effects of significant transactions. Hence, operating results of IDBD for the period extending from October 11, 2015 (acquisition date) through March 31, 2016 are included under comprehensive income of the Group for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Furthermore, comparative information has not been modified for as of that date the Group did not exercise control over IDBD. The assessment of this investment was part of the international segment of the operations center in Argentina.

Goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated based on market prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.

As to those business segments involving the operations center in Argentina where assets are reported under the proportional consolidation method, each reported asset includes the proportional share of the Group in the same class of assets of the associates and/or joint ventures. Only as an example, the amount of investment properties reported includes (i) the balance of investment properties as stated in the statement of financial position, plus (ii) the Group’s share in the balances of investment properties of joint ventures.

Significant events

Cellcom is the largest provider of mobile telecommunications in Israel; it offers its services approximately to 2.9 million subscribers with a wide range of services. By the end of 2014, the Company launched television services over the Internet. Under Israeli laws, in order for a shareholder to be able to exert control over a Telecommunications Company, such shareholder must first secure the approval of the Ministry of Communications of Israel. Such approval, consequence of change in control of IDBD, has not yet been obtained.

In November 2015, Cellcom entered into an agreement, subject to approval, with Golan Telecom Ltd. ("Golan") and its shareholders to acquire all of Golan’s shares for a price of NIS 1,170 million, subject to certain adjustments. To complete the transaction, Cellcom intends to raise funds by way of a public offering and DIC expects to subscribe shares for up to NIS 100 million at that public offering to maintain its current equity interests. During April 2016, the Anti-trust Commission of Israel and the Ministry of Communications notified Cellcom their objection to the transaction described above but failed to state the grounds for such objection.

In June 2016, Hot Mobile Ltd. ("Hot"), a mobile phone carrier of Israel, announced it intended to enter into a non-exclusive long-term agreement for the provision of hosting services to Golan for the network used by Hot, which is subject to approval and directives by the Israel regulatory authorities.

Cellcom informed Golan that the transaction with Hot amounts to a material breach of the stock purchase agreement (“SPA”) mentioned above and of the intra-national roaming agreement (the “Roaming Agreement”) between Cellcom and Golan, including an exclusivity commitment in relation to the provision of services and the commitment to not apply any material change to the business acquired. Cellcom notified Golan and its shareholders that unless the breach to the SPA and the Roaming Agreement were cured, Cellcom would be entitled to terminate the SPA and claim the immediate reimbursement of an aggregate amount of NIS 600 million, in addition to the reimbursement of sums of money already paid by Cellcom to Golan. Non-performance will allow Cellcom to claim damages for the future payments that should have been made by Golan until the end of the exclusivity period agreed upon between the parties.

In July 2016, Cellcom started a legal action against Golan, including a motion filed to suspend the agreement between Golan and Hot; in this respect, on July 21, 2016 the District Court issued a temporary restraining order against finalizing the agreement between Golan and Hot, as requested by Cellcom. In August 2016, Golan filed a motion with the Supreme Court challenging the temporary order.

Analysis of the impact of the Concentration Law

As mentioned in note 1 to these financial statements, IDBD is analyzing the implications of the Concentration Law. The alternatives under evaluation include: (i) delisting of IDBD or DIC so that it becomes a private company, or (ii) a merger between IDBD and DIC. At the time of approval of these financial statements, the preceding alternatives are merely under evaluation and there is no certainty as to implementation of the structural changes described above or the date of any such implementation. IDBD and DIC estimate that one of these alternatives are likely to be carried out, allowing the Group to continue holding control of Cellcom after December 2019.

As indicated for IDBD, PBC is also assessing the implications of this Act in relation to its holdings in controlled companies, for the purpose of continuing to exercise control; and it believes it will continue to do so.

IDBD and DIC assess whether it is necessary to recognize deferred tax liabilities for the temporary differences arising in relation to its investments in subsidiaries. In this respect, IDBD, DIC and PBC estimate that if each of them is required to dispose of its respective holdings in subsidiaries, they would not be liable to income tax on the sale and, for such reason, they did not recognize the deferred tax liabilities related to this difference in these financial statements.

(i) On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro was notified of a filing made by the National Government, through the Ministry of Defense, to extend the petition in bankruptcy of Indarsa to Puerto Retiro. At the request of plaintiff, the bankruptcy court for the Buenos Aires District issued an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro to sell or dispose in any manner the land. Indarsa had acquired 90% of the capital stock of Tandanor to a formerly estate owned company in 1991. 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. In addition, Tandanor filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro and other accused parties in the criminal case for violation of section 174 subsection 5, under section 173 subsection 7 of Criminal Code. The claim expects that upon invalidation of executive order that approved the bid of Dársena Norte plot of land, Tandanor be reimbursed any other sum of money that it claims to have lost due to the alleged fraudulent purchase-sale transaction of the real property disputed in the case. The Management and legal advisors of Puerto Retiro estimate that there are legal and technical issues to consider that the request for bankruptcy will be denied by the court. However, given the current status of the case, we cannot predict its outcome. On July 12, 2016, Puerto Retiro S.A. has been notified of a ruling rendered by the Federal Court 5 which decided on the defenses raised by all co-defendants in the civil case. As regards the defenses raised by Puerto Retiro S.A., the Court rejected them on the grounds of legal defect and lack of procedural standing as defendant, whereas in relation to the lack of standing to sue and the statute of limitations defense, it deferred its treatment until it renders a judgment on the merits of the case. Puerto Retiro S.A. has filed a remedy for reversal with right to an appeal, challenging both defenses.

(ii) In March 2011, Quality purchased an industrial plant located in San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires. The facilities have the necessary features and scales for multiple uses. On January 20, 2015, Quality entered into an Urbanization Agreement with the Municipality of San Martín which contemplates a monetary compensation to the City Council totaling Ps. 40, payable in two installments of Ps. 20 each. The first of such installments was actually paid on June 30, 2015. On January 5, 2016 the Official Bulletin of the Province of Buenos Aires published the Order of Provincial Ratification (of the Municipal Ordinance), whereby the urban parameters originally requested entered into full force, thus concluding the legislative enactment process. Even though validation is a condition precedent to the Agreement’s effectiveness, the obligation to pay the second installment will not become in force until the first drawing is registered with the Dirección de Geodesia (Geodesy Office) of the province of Buenos Aires. Quality is assessing several alternatives in order to file the plan with the final project.

BHSA

In accordance with the regulations of the BCRA, there are certain restrictions on the distribution of profits by BHSA.

The fair value of the Group’s investment in BHSA was estimated based on the present value of future business cash flows. The main premises used to calculate the fair value as of June 30, 2016 were the following:

The Group considered the period 2017-2024 as horizon for the projection of BHSA cash flows.

The “Private BADLAR” interest rate was projected based on internal data and information gathered from external consultants.

The projected exchange rate was estimated in accordance with internal data and external information provided by independent consultants.

The discount rate used to discount real dividend flows and calculate the fair value is 12.41%.

Based on the described premises, the Group estimated the fair value of its investment in BHSA as of June 30, 2016 to be Ps. 3,246.

Adama

Adama is specialized in the chemical industry, mainly, in the agrochemical industry. In this framework, Adama is engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling crop protection products, while also operating in other areas based on its basic capacities (the agricultural and chemical sectors), but to a immaterial extent.

In 2011, Koor (a wholly own subsidiary of DIC) sold 60% of Adama’s shares to China National Agrochemical Corporation (“ChemChina”) and was also granted a non-recourse loan in the aggregate amount of US$ 960 million, which is secured by the remaining 40% of ADAMA shares held by Koor as of June 30, 2016. The loan is disclosed in Note 21 under non-current loans.

On July 17, 2016 DIC informed the market that it has accepted the offer by ChemChina who intends to acquire 40% of Adama’s shares currently held by Koor, indirectly controlled by IDBD through DIC. In August 2016, Koor and a subsidiary of ChemChina executed the corresponding agreement. The price of the transaction includes a payment in cash of US$ 230 million plus the total repayment of the non-recourse loan and its interests, which had been granted to Koor by a chinese bank.

The Group expects that this sale transaction will be finalized during November 2016, subject to compliance with certain conditions, including obtaining approvals by the Chinese regulatory and antitrust authorities.

(i)

Depreciation charges of investment properties were included in “Costs” in the statement of income (Note 27).

(ii)

Includes transfers due to the opening of Alto Comahue and Distrito Arcos Shopping Centers.

(iii)

Distrito Arcos - Injunction: On December 2013, the Judicial Branch confirmed an injunction that suspended the opening of the shopping center on the grounds that it did not have certain governmental permits in the context of two judicial processes, where a final decision has been rendered for the company. The plaintiff filed a petition for the continuation of the preliminary injunction by means of an extraordinary appeal of unconstitutionality which was by the lower and appellate courts; consequently, it filed an appeal with the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires Higher Court of Justice, which so far has not rendered a decision. Nowadays, the Shopping Center Distrito Arcos is open to the public and operating normally.

Distrito Arcos - Concession status: The National State issued Executive Order 1723/2012 whereby several plots of land located in prior rail yards of Palermo, Liniers and Caballito rail stations ceased to be used for rail purposes, in order to be used for development of integral urbanization projects. In this respect, and as part of several measures related to other licensed persons and/or concessionaires, we have notified in the file of proceedings the corresponding Resolution 170/2014 revoking the “Contract for Reformulation of the Concession of Rights of use and Development” number AF000261 issued by the “Agencia de Administración de Bienes del Estado” (State Assets Administration Office, or AABE in Spanish). It should further be pointed out that such measure: (i) has not been adopted due to non-compliance of our subsidiary; (ii) to date has not involved the interruption of the commercial development or operation of the shopping center, which continues to operate under normal conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arcos del Gourmet S.A. has filed the relevant administrative remedies (appeal) and has also filed a judicial action requesting that the revocation of such concession be overruled. Furthermore, it has started a so-called “juicio de consignación”, that is an action where the plaintiff deposits with the court sums of money that the defendant refuses to accept. Under this legal action, the company has deposited in due time and form all rental payments under the Contract for Reformulation of the Concession of Rights of Use and Development, which the Company considers to have been unduly revoked.

(iv)

Certain investment property assets of the Group have been mortgaged or restricted to secure some of the Group’s borrowings and other payables. Book amount of those properties amounts to Ps. 15,544, Ps. 61 and Ps. 154 as June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the fair value of investment properties from the operations center in Argentina, amounts to Ps. 28,202 and Ps. 22,089, respectively. The fair values are based on comparable values of certain qualified external appraisers (Level 2 of fair value hierarchy) except in the case of shopping centers, where fair value is based on the market capitalization valuation (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). In the first case, sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per m2 (square meter). In the second case, was computed considering the specific aspects of each property using a weighted average capitalization rate of 10.9% and 12% respectively (a 9.8% to 13.3% range was considered for fiscal year 2016 and 10% to 15% for fiscal year 2015).

As of June 30, 2016 the fair value of investment property from operations center in Israel, amounts to Ps. 48,032. The fair values are based on valuations performed by independent appraisers, who used the methodologies of discounted cash flows and market capitalization rates as appropriate (Level 3 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy). Independent appraisers estimated cash flows of the properties to which they applied discount rates and / or capitalization rates according to market data. They were determined considering the specific characteristics of each asset (location, sales, occupation, surface condition and type of property, etc.). Discount rates used ranged from 7% to 10% and capitalization rate used ranged from 6% to 11%. The average occupancy of the properties was 96%.

Financial instruments by category

The note shows the financial assets and financial liabilities by category of financial instrument and a reconciliation to the corresponding line item in the statements of financial position, as appropriate. Since the line items “Trade and other receivables” and “Trade and other payables” contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets or liabilities (such as prepayments, trade payables in-kind and tax receivables and payables), the reconciliation is shown in the columns headed “Non-financial assets” and “Non-financial liabilities”. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are assigned based on their different levels in the fair value hierarchy.

IFRS 9 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 7. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels.

In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company can refer to at the date of valuation.

In the case of Level 2, fair value is determined by using valuation methods based on inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market. If the financial instrument concerned has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period.

In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which market players would consider in their pricing.

The Group’s Finance Division has a team in place in charge of estimating valuation of financial assets required to be reported in the financial statements, including the fair value of Level-3 instruments. The team directly reports to the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). The CFO and the valuation team discuss the valuation methods and results upon the acquisition of an asset and, if necessary, on a quarterly basis, in line with the Group’s quarterly reports.

Securities and warrants of Condor

Upon initial recognition (January, 2012), the consideration paid for the Shares and Warrants of Condor was assigned to both instruments based on the relative fair values of those instruments upon acquisition. The fair values of these instruments exceeded the price of the transaction and were assessed using a valuation method that incorporates unobservable market data. Given the fact that the fair value of these instruments was estimated by applying the mentioned method, the Group did not recognize a gain at the time of initial recognition.

In March 2016, the Group has exchanged its preferred Class C shares for a new Class D preferred shares issued by Condor and, additionally, it has received cash in the amount of US$ 1.2 million and a promissory note for US$ 1.1 million related to dividends receivable.

In this new issue the company “Stepstone Real Estate” has been added as new partner by making a contribution of US$ 30 million, which will be used to redeem Class A and B preferred shares and for the acquisition of new hotels.

The new Class D preferred shares will accrue annual interest at a rate of 6.25% and will be convertible into common shares at a price of US$ 1.60.per share.

There were no changes to the warrants held by the Group.

The Board of Directors of Condor is now formed by 4 directors of the company, 3 directors appointed by Stepstone Real Estate and 2 independent directors. In addition, the voting power held by the company in Condor amounts to 49%, thus keeping significant influence.

Investment in IDBD, associate and warrants

As described in Note 3 until taking control over IDBD, the Group stated its equity interest in IDBD as an associate measured at fair value, invoking the exception under IAS 28 and the warrants to acquire IDBD’s common shares were booked at their quoted prices. Since October 11, 2015, as result of consolidation, the equity interest in IDBD as an associate and the warrants were eliminated following the consolidation to add IDBD’s assets and liabilities on a line-by-line basis.

Non-recourse loan

IDBD relies on an independent appraiser to determine the value of the non-recourse loan. The valuation model is a binomial tree where the main variable is Adama’s share price.

When no quoted prices in an active market are available, fair values (particularly with derivatives) are based on recognized valuation methods. The Group uses a range of valuation models for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments, details of which may be obtained from the following table:

Description	Pricing model	Pricing method	Parameters	Range
Investment in financial assets – Public companies securities - Preferred shares of Condor	Binomial tree	Theoretical price	Underlying asset price (Market price); share price volatility (historical) and market interest-rate (Libor rate curve).	Underlying asset price 1.4 to 1.7 Share price volatility 58% to 78% Money market interest-rate 1.0% to 1.3%
Investment in financial assets – Public companies securities - Promissory note	Discounted cash flow	Theoretical price	Market interest-rate (Libor rate curve)	Money market interest-rate 1.0% to 1.3%
Derivative financial instruments - Warrants of Condor	Black-Scholes	Theoretical price	Underlying asset price (Market price); share price volatility (historical) and interest-rate curve (Libor rate).	Underlying asset price 1.4 to 1.7 Share price volatility 58% to 78% Money market interest-rate 1.0% to 1.3%
Interest rate swaps	Cash flow	Theoretical price	Interest rate futures contract and cash flow	-
Call option of Arcos	Discounted cash flow	-	Projected revenues and discounting rate.	-
Investments in financial assets - Private companies - Avenida Inc.	Market multiples	Theoretical price	Comparable market multiple (EV/GMV ratio)	Comparable market multiple (EV/GMV ratio) 2.94x to 3.59x
Investments in financial assets - Private companies - Others	Discounted cash flows / NAV	Theoretical price	Projected revenue discounted at the discount rate / The value is calculated in accordance with the company’s shares in the equity funds on the basis of their financial statements, based on fair value or investment assessments.	1- 3.5
Investments in financial assets - Others	Discounted cash flows / NAV	Theoretical price	Projected revenue discounted at the discount rate / The value is calculated in accordance with the company’s shares in the equity funds on the basis of its financial statements, based on fair value or investment assessments	1- 3.5
Borrowings - Non-recourse loan	Binomial tree	Theoretical price	Underlying asset price (obtained by discounted cash flow valuation), capital cost, market rate; control premium, underlying asset volatility.	Underlying asset price US$ 760MM to US$ 940MM, capital cost 11.8% to 14.4%, discounted market interest rate 7.9% to 12.9%, control premium 3.3% to 6.6%, underlying asset volatility 25.7% to 33.1%.

Trade receivables are generally presented in the statements of financial position net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Impairment policies and procedures by type of receivables are discussed in detail in Note 2.

The fair values of current trade and other receivables approximate their respective carrying amounts, due to their short-term nature, as the impact of discounting is not significant. Present value of non-current trade receivables related to sales of equipment installments, as performed by Cellcom (mainly in 36 installments), as of June 30, 2016 were calculated at a 3.3% discount rate. Other non-current receivables conform to or approximate their fair values. Fair values are based on discounted cash flows. (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy).

Financial assets held for sale

The composition of financial assets held for sale as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015
Non-current
Clal	3,346	-
Non-current financial assets held for sale	3,346	-

Current
Clal	1,256	-
Current financial assets held for sale	1,256	-
Total financial assets held for sale	4,602	-

Clal is a holding company that mainly operates in the insurance and pension markets and in segments of pension funds. The company holds assets and other businesses (such as insurance agencies) and is one of the largest insurance groups in Israel. Clal mainly develops its activities in three operating segments: long-term savings, general insurance and health insurance.

Given that IDBD failed to meet the requirements set forth by the Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings Commission, which is dependent on the Ministry of Finance of Israel, to have control over an insurance company, on August 21, 2013, such commission required that IDBD granted an irrevocable power of attorney to Mr. Moshe Tery ("the Trustee") for the 51% of the shareholding capital and vote interests in Clal, thus transferring control over that investee.

On December 30, 2014, the Insurance Commission sent an additional letter setting a term by which IDBD’s control over and equity interests in Clal were to be sold and giving directions as to the Trustee’s continuity in office, among other aspects.

The sale arrangement outlined in the letter involves IDBD’s and the Trustee’s interests in the sale process under different options and timeframes. As of June 30, 2016, the current sale arrangement involved the sale of the interest in the stock exchange or by over-the-counter trades, as per the following detail and by the following dates:

IDBD would have to sell at least 5% of its equity interest in Clal from May 7, 2016.

During each of the subsequent four-month periods, IDBD would have to sell at least an additional 5% of its equity interest in Clal.

If IDBD sells more than 5% of its equity interest in Clal in any given four-month period, the percentage in excess of the required 5% would be offset against the percentage required in the following period.

Financial assets held for sale (Continued)

In case IDBD does not fulfills its obligation in the manner described in the above paragraph the Trustee would be entitled to act upon the specified arrangement in lieu of IDBD, pursuant to all powers that had been vested under the representations of the trust letter. The consideration for the sale would be transferred to IDBD, with the expenses incurred in the sale process to be solely borne by IDBD.

During February 2016, bondholders and minority shareholders filed a complaint against the Insurance Commission and the Trustee so that the order by the Trustee to sell the shares in the market was revoked, for this would cause irreversible damage to the company and its bondholders. As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, no decision has been rendered on the complaint.

In June 30, 2016, the holding of IDBD of Clal was 55%, and as a result of the circumstances mentioned above, IDBD has accounted for it as a financial asset held for sale. Valuation as of June 30, 2016 amounts to Ps. 4,602 and a loss of Ps. 1,951 were recorded, reflecting the fall in the share price, in financial results, net.

Claims against Clal

Clal set up a reserve for all legal actions brought against Clal’s investees out of the ordinary course of business in the amount of approximately NIS 96 million (equivalent to Ps. 376 million at the closing exchange rate). Most legal actions are related to consumer claims and actions erasing from those claims. The total amount claimed is NIS 29,200 million (equivalent to Ps. 114,275 million at the closing exchange rate).

Provisions

The Group is subject to claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including claims from clients where a third party seeks reimbursement or damages. The Group’s responsibility under such claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. From time to time, the status of each major issue is evaluated and its potential financial exposure is assessed. If the potential loss involved in the claim or proceeding is deemed probable and the amount may be reasonably estimated, a liability is recorded. The Group estimates the amount of such liability based on the available information and in accordance with the provisions of the IFRS. If additional information becomes available, the Group will make an evaluation of claims, lawsuits and other outstanding proceeding, and will revise its estimates.

Subsequently, Cresud and IRSA requested that the complaint be moved to the district of New York, which request was later granted.

The Company holds that such allegations are meritless and intends to make a strong defense in both actions. No provision was set up in connection with the above mentioned.

IRSA CP

On November 20, 2006, the Group through IRSA CP acquired the building known as Edificio Ex escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos, located in the City of Córdoba through a public bidding in the amount of Ps. 32. This property is affected to a concession contract.

After the title deed was made, the government of the province of Córdoba declared the property to be of public use and subject to partial expropriation in order to be used exclusively for the Libertador San Martín Theatre.

IRSA CP has answered a complaint in an action and to challenge the law that declared such public interest on unconstitutional grounds. In the alternative, it has challenged the appraisal made by the plaintiff and, additionally, it has claimed damages not included in the appraisal and resulting immediately and directly from expropriation.

At June 30, 2016, the property is recorded under Investment Properties.

IDBD has certain restrictions and financial covenants in connection with its financial debt, included in its debentures, loans from banks and financial institutions.

As of June 30, 2016 IDBD reported that the application of the “Liquidity Covenant” and the “Economic Equity Covenant” (as described below) is currently suspended.

It was agreed between IDBD and the relevant lending corporations that the parties would work to formulate an arrangement, to replace or amend the current financial covenants by December 31, 2016.

If such arrangement is not reached, the previous financial covenants will re-apply then with respect to the results for IDBD´s first quarter of 2017 and thereafter. In the event that these covenants will re-apply, IDBD estimates that it will not be able to meet the thresholds that were determined in the past with respect to the Liquidity Covenant and the Economic Equity Covenant with respect to IDBD´s results for the first quarter of 2017 and thereafter.

Particularly, if the previous financial covenants will re-apply, IDBD estimates it will not be able to fulfill the covenant, which stipulates that the balance of cash and marketable securities will not fall below the scope of forecasted current maturities for the two quarters subsequent to the reporting quarter (the “Liquidity Covenant”). Regarding the Economic Equity Covenant, the economic equity as of June 30, 2016, amounted to a positive balance of NIS 247 million, significantly lower than the thresholds determined in the past as part of the Economic Equity Covenant.

In view of and due to the decrease of Mr. Ben Moshe’s holding rate in IDBD, beginning from February 2015 and thereafter, in March 2016 IDBD reached understandings with its lending corporations with regard to an amendment of the control and additional amendments relating to restrictions on the sale of main holdings.

As per IDBD´s position, as of June 30, 2016, there were no conditions that established grounds for calling IDBD´s obligations to its financial creditors for immediate payment. Without derogating from the IDBD´s position, it is noted that the decision of the bondholders (Series I) dated April 21,2016 to call the full balance of IDBD´s debt to the bondholders for immediate repayment and the decision to take steps for dissolution are liable to raise grounds for the financial creditors, for calling for immediate repayment. According to IDBD´s legal advisor opinion, the conditions giving rise to a ground for demanding immediate repayment of the liabilities for the (Series I) bonds were not fulfilled. On July 18, 2016, the Court handed down its judgment, in which the Court accepted the consensus motion filed by the trustee to strike the motion for dissolution.

Borrowings (Continued)

As of June 30, 2016, IDBD´s loans which are subject to the aforementioned financial covenants, at a scope of NIS 264 million, were classified under current liabilities, in consideration of the fact that IDBD has reached understandings with those relevant lending entities, which extended the arrangements specified in the financial covenants of the loan agreements until first quarter calendar year 2017, in other words, for a period shorter than twelve months.

On August 2, 2016 IDBD issued a new Series of Debentures in the Israeli market for an amount of NIS 325 million due November 2019 at an annual interest rate adjustable by CPI plus 4.25%. The notes are pledged by shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings Ltd (“Clal”), subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings. IDBD is working to get the authorization to constitute the guarantee and it filed an application to the Supreme Court asking for such approval. In case IDBD does not get the required approval, funds must be repaid with interest plus a penalty. On September 15, 2016, the High Court of Justice gave a partial judgment and decision, according to which it was decided, to reject the petition for the most part and to grant an order which instructs the Commissioner to appear and show a reason for her opposition to the request of IDBD to pledge up to 5% of the shares of Clal Holdings, subject to an outline agreed to at the time by IDBD. Furthermore, IDBD maintains the right to accede to a proposal for compromise which was raised in the context of the discussion. A hearing date was set for January 2017.

Pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court sitting as the High Court of Justice in connection with the petition submitted by IDBD in connection with the pledge of the shares of Clal Holdings in September 2016, on October 13, 2016, the Board of Directors of the IDBD decided to execute a partial early redemption of the debentures, that is to be carried out on November 1, 2016, as follows:

•

IDBD will carry out a partial early redemption of the debentures in an amount of approximately NIS 239 million of par value (“the redeemed portion”) and in a total of approximately NIS 244 million with respect to principal, interest and compensation for the redeemed portion.

•

The determining date for the eligibility to receive the early redemption of the principal of the debentures is 10.25.2016.

•

The early redemption represents 73.7% of the unpaid balance of the principal of the debentures, which is also the original balance of the series of the debentures.

•

The rate of interest (including the compensation for carrying out the early redemption as an increment of 3% with respect to the period from August 3, 2016 through October 21, 2016) that will be paid upon the partial early redemption of the redeemed portion of the principal is approximately 1.8%.

•

The rate of interest (including the compensation for carrying out the early redemption as an increment of 3% with respect to the period from August 3, 2016 through October 31, 2016) that will be paid in the context of the early redemption, which is calculated out of the balance of the unpaid balance of the principal on the date of the early redemption (NIS 325 million linked to the CPI) is approximately 1.3%.

•

Pursuant to the “known” CPI (index with respect to the month of September 2016, which was published on 10.14.2016) as compared with the base index published with respect to the month of June 2016, no linkage increments will apply with respect to the redeemed portion upon early redemption.

•

The unpaid balance of the principal of the debentures after executing the early redemption (without linkage) will stand at an amount of approximately NIS 86 million par value, which represents approximately 26.3%, of the original balance of the principal of the debentures. IDBD will act to pledge the shares of Clal Holdings against the balance of the unpaid principal of the debentures after carrying out the early redemption (as is required according to the trust indenture).

•

Pursuant to what is stated in the trust indenture, the redeemed portion will be paid in relation to all of the holders of the debentures, pro- rata according to the par value of the held debentures.

Taxes

The Group’s income tax has been calculated on the estimated taxable profit for each year at the rates prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions. The subsidiaries of the Group in the jurisdictions where the Group operates are required to calculate their income taxes on a separate basis; thus, they are not permitted to compensate subsidiaries’ losses against subsidiaries income.

The details of the provision for the Group’s income tax, is as follows:

	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015	June 30, 2014
Current income tax	(612)	(653)	(235)
Deferred income tax	437	170	318
Minimum Presumed Income tax (MPIT)	26	(6)	(19)
Income tax	(149)	(489)	64

The statutory taxes rates in the countries where the Group operates for all of the years presented are:

Tax jurisdiction		Income tax rate
Argentina		35%
Uruguay		0% - 25%
U.S.A.		0% - 45%
Bermudas		0%
Israel		25%

Below is a reconciliation between income tax expense and the tax calculated applying the current tax rate, applicable in the respective countries, to profit / (loss) before taxes for years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015	June 30, 2014

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefits through future taxable profits is probable. Tax loss carry-forwards may have expiration dates or may be permanently available for use by the Group depending on the tax jurisdiction where the tax loss carry forward is generated. Tax loss carry forwards in Argentina and Uruguay generally expire within 5 years. Tax loss carry forwards in Israel do not expire.

Taxes (Continued)

As of June 30, 2016, the Group’s tax loss carry-forwards expiration dates are as follows:

	Expiration date			Total
	Do not expire			68,049
	2016			46
	2017			26
	2018			32
	2019			35
	2020			75
				68,263

In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income. To this aim the Group made a projection for future years when deferred assets will be deductible. Such projection is based on aspects such as the expected performance of the main macroeconomic variables affecting the business, pricing and costs that make up the operational flows derived from the regular exploitation of buildings and other assets of the group and the flows derived from the performance of financial assets and liabilities. Such strategy implies the development of properties and/or the sale of non-strategic properties and/or properties that are deemed to have reached their maximum appreciation potential.

Based on the estimated and aggregate effect of all these aspects on the Company’s performance, Management estimates that as at June 30, 2016, it is probable that the Company will realize all of the deferred tax assets recognized.

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of Ps. 74.244 and Ps. 36 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Although management estimates that the business will generate sufficient income, pursuant to IAS 12, management has determined that, as a result of the recent loss history and the lack of verifiable and objective evidence due to the subsidiary’s results of operations history, there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to be able to offset the losses within a reasonable timeframe, therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized in relation to these losses.

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax liabilities of Ps. 796 and Ps. 37 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to their investments in foreign subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In addition, the withholdings and/or similar taxes paid at source may be creditable against the Group’s potential final tax liability.

Leases

The Group as lessee

Operating leases:

In the ordinary course of business, the Group leases property or spaces for administrative or commercial use both in Argentina and Israel under operating lease arrangements. The agreements entered into include several clauses, including but not limited, to fixed, variable or adjustable payments. Some leases were agreed upon with related parties (Note 33). The amounts involved have not been material for any of the filed periods.

The future aggregate minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015
No later than one year	3,860	11
Later than one year and not later than five years	6,705	17
Later than five years	2,127	35
	12,692	63

Finance leases:

The Group is party on several financial lease agreements, mainly of equipment for administrative use in the ordinary course of business. The amounts involved are not material for any of the periods filed.

The Group as lessor

Operating leases:

In the segment Shopping Centers and Offices and others in the Operations Center Argentina and in the Real Estate segment in the Operations Center Israel, the Group enters into operating lease agreements typical in the business. Given the diversity of properties and lessees, and the various economic and regulatory jurisdictions where the Group operates, the agreements may adopt different forms, such as fixed, variable, adjustable leases, etc. For example, in the Operations Center Argentina, operating lease agreements with lessees of shopping centers generally include step-up clauses and contingent payments. In Israel, agreements tend to be agreed upon for fixed amounts, although in some cases they may include adjustment clauses. Income from leases are recorded in the statement of income under rental and service income in all of the filed periods.

Rental properties are considered to be investment property (Note 10). The book value, depreciation charge, and accumulated depreciation are included in Note 10.

Equity

Share capital and premium

The share capital of the Group is represented by common shares with a nominal value of Ps. 1 per share and one vote each. No other activity has been recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 in the capital accounts, other than those related to the acquisition of treasury shares.

Inflation adjustment of share capital

The Group’s financial statements were previously prepared on the basis of general price-level accounting which reflected changes in the purchase price of the Argentine Peso in the historical financial statements through February 28, 2003. The inflation adjustment related to share capital was appropriated to an inflation adjustment reserve that formed part of shareholders' equity. The balance of this reserve could be applied only towards the issuance of common stock to shareholders of the Company. Resolution 592/11 of the CNV requires that at the transition date to IFRS certain equity accounts, such as the inflation adjustment reserve, are not adjusted and are considered an integral part of share capital.

Legal reserve

According to Law No. 19,550, 5% of the profit of the year is destined to the constitution of legal reserve until they reach legal capped amount (20% of total capital). This legal reserve is not available for the dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The Group did not reach the legal capped amounts.

Equity (Continued)

Special reserve

Pursuant to CNV General Ruling No. 609/12, the Company set up a special reserve reflecting the positive difference between the balance at the beginning of retained earnings disclosed in the first financial statements prepared according to IFRS and the balance at closing of retained earnings disclosed in the last financial statements prepared in accordance with previously effective accounting standards. This reserve may not be used to make distributions in kind or in cash, and may only be reversed to be capitalized, or otherwise to absorb potential negative balances in Retained Earnings.

Dividends

Dividends distributed during fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 amounted to Ps. 306.6 (or 0.53 per share), while during fiscal year 2016 and 2015 there was no distribution of dividends.

Additional paid-in capital from treasury shares

Upon sale of treasury shares, the difference between the net realizable value of the treasury shares sold and the acquisition cost will be recognized, whether it is a gain or a loss, under the non-capitalized contribution account and will be known as “Treasury shares trading premium”.

Accumulated losses

The Company’s losses accumulated as of June 30, 2016 absorb more than 50% of the capital stock; as a result, the provisions of section 206 of Law No. 19,550 would apply to the company.

The Board of Directors of the Company is currently analyzing alternatives to address this situation and present them to the Shareholders.

Share-based payments

The Group has an equity incentives plan (“Incentive Plan”), created in September 30, 2011, which is aimed at certain selected employees, directors and top management of the Company, IRSA CP and Cresud (the “Participants”). Engagement is voluntary and by invitation of the Board of Directors.

Under the Incentive Plan, over the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, Participants will be entitled to receive shares ("Contributions") of the Company and Cresud based on a percentage of their annual bonus for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, providing they remain as employee of the Company for at least five years, among other conditions required, to qualify for such Contributions. Contributions shall be held by the Company and Cresud, and as the conditions established by the Plan are verified, such contributions shall be transferred to the Participants.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, a reserve has been set up under Shareholders’ equity as a result of this Incentive Plan for Ps. 67 and Ps. 64, respectively, based on the market value of the shares to be granted pertaining to the Group’s contributions, proportionately to the period already elapsed for the vesting of shares in the Incentive Plan and adjusted for the probability that any beneficiary should leave the Group before the term and/or the conditions required to qualify for the benefits of said plan are met at each fiscal year-end.

1. Basis of preparation and summering of the significant accounting policies

The Financial Statements of the Company for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared in accordance with the Technical Resolution N° 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences ("FACPCE", as per its Spanish acronym), adopted by the National Securities Commission ("CNV", as per its Spanish acronym). This Technical Resolution differs from International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), in reference to the accounting measurement criteria of the investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, which are accounted for under the equity method described by IAS 28 “Investments in Associates”. This criterion differs from the provisions of paragraph 38 of IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements”, whereby such investments are measured at cost or fair value. The Company adopted IFRS in the fiscal year beginning on July 1st, 2012, being its transition date July 1st, 2011.

The CNV, through General Resolutions N° 562/09 and 576/10, has provided for the application of Technical Resolution N° 26 and its amendment Technical Resolution N° 29 of the FACPCE, which adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), for companies subject to the public offering regime ruled by Law 17,811, due to the listing of their shares or corporate notes, and for entities that have applied for authorization to be listed under the mentioned regime.

The principal accounting policies adopted of these Financial Statements are included in Note 2 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements except for the accounting measurement criteria of the investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates explained in the paragraph above.

Schedule III (Continued)

3. Borrowings (Continued)

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 total borrowings include collateralized liabilities (seller leases and long-term loans) of Ps. 0.4 and Ps. 0.1, respectively. These borrowings are mainly collateralized by property, plant and equipment of the Company.

Borrowings also include liabilities under finance leases where the Company is the lessee and which therefore have to be measured in accordance with IAS 17 “Leases”.

The following table shows the maturity of the Company's borrowings (excluding finance leases) and the classification regarding interest rates is as follows:

	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2015
Principal
Less than 1 year	2,126	715
Between 1 and 2 years	-	1,378
Between 2 and 3 years	-	21
Between 3 and 4 years	-	-
Between 4 and 5 years	1,189	73
Later than five years	-	1,345
Total principal	3,315	3,532
Accrue interest and expenses
Less than 1 year	121	135
Between 1 and 2 years	-	2
Between 2 and 3 years	30	-
Between 3 and 4 years	-	-
Between 4 and 5 years	5	-
Total accrue interest and expenses	156	137
Total borrowings	3,471	3,669

The fair value of current borrowings at fixed-rate and current and non-current borrowings at floating-rate approximates their carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The fair value is calculated under the discount cash flow method (Level 2 of fair value).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Banco Hipotecario S.A.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Bank”) as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three twelve-month periods in the period ended June 30, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three twelve-month periods in the period ended June 30, 2016 in conformity with accounting rules prescribed by the Banco Central de la República Argentina (the “BCRA”).

The Bank’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Such differences involve methods of measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements include solely a reconciliation of net income and shareholders’ equity to U.S. GAAP. Pursuant to Item 17 of Form 20-F, this reconciliation does not include disclosure of all information that would be required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the SEC. Information relating to the nature and effect of the differences between accounting rules prescribed by the BCRA and U.S. GAAP is presented in Note 34 to the consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

General

a. Description of business

Banco Hipotecario SA (herein after referred to as the “Bank” or “BHSA”), is a commercial bank, organized under the laws of Argentina.

The Bank historically has provided general banking services, focused on individual residential mortgage loans and construction-project loans directly to customers as well as indirectly through selected banks and other financial intermediaries throughout Argentina. In 2004, as part of its business diversification strategy, the Bank resumed the mortgage lending and expanded its product offerings, beginning to offer personal loans, credit card loans and also engaging in mortgage loan securitizations, mortgage loan servicing, other corporate loans and mortgage-related insurance in connection with its lending activities.

b. Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the rules of Banco Central de la República Argentina (“Argentine Central Bank” or “BCRA”) which prescribe the accounting reporting and disclosure requirements for banks and financial institutions in Argentina (“Argentine Banking GAAP”). Argentine Banking GAAP differ in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Such differences involve methods of measuring the amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements, as well as additional disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include solely a reconciliation of net income and shareholders’ equity to U.S. GAAP. Pursuant to Item 17 of Form 20-F, this reconciliation does not include disclosure of all information that would be required by U.S. GAAP and Regulation S-X of the SEC. See note 34 for details.

Certain disclosures required by the Argentine Banking GAAP have not been presented herein since they are not required under U.S. GAAP or the SEC and are not considered to be relevant to the accompanying consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Certain reclassifications of prior year’s information have been made to conform to current year presentation. Such reclassifications do not have a significant impact on the Bank financial statements.

c. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its subsidiaries over which the Bank has effective control. The percentages directly or indirectly held in those companies’ capital stock as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

Issuing Company	June 30,
Issuing Company	2016	2015
BHN Sociedad de Inversión Sociedad Anónima	99.99%	99.99%
BHN Seguros Generales Sociedad Anónima (a)	99.99%	99.99%

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

(a) On December 2, 2015, the Bank took notice of an observation raised by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions reporting to the Argentine Central Bank with regard to the insurance business developed by Banco Hipotecario S.A. through BHN Vida S.A. and BHN Seguros Generales S.A.

The observation requires the enforcement of the credit scoring regulations, which impose a 12.5% limit on interests in the capital stock and voting rights of other companies.

In reply, the Bank has claimed that such observation should be revised, in that the Bank is allowed to conduct the business in question pursuant to the Privatization Law No. 24,855 and its regulations, in particular Decree No. 1394/98, as continuing company of Banco Hipotecario Nacional.

(b) On September 11, 2015, November 4, 2015 and June 23,2016, the Board of Directors of Banco Hipotecario S.A. unanimously approved an irrevocable capital contribution to Tarshop S.A. in the amount of Ps.52,500, Ps.52,500 and Ps.250,000, respectively, to be made by shareholders Banco Hipotecario S.A. and IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. (continuing company after Alto Palermo S.A.’s change of corporate name) pro rata of their shareholdings so that Tarshop S.A. should have sufficient resources for its operating activities, in line with the capitalization program previously approved.

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

d. Presentation of financial statements in constant argentine pesos

The financial statements have been adjusted for inflation in conformity with the guidelines set in Communication “A” 551 of the Argentine Central Bank up to the financial year ended December 31, 1994, and prepared in accordance with the standards laid down by CONAU 1 Circular. As from January 1, 1995, and according to the authorization accorded by Resolution N° 388 of the Argentine Central Bank's Superintendency of Financial and Exchange Institutions, the Bank discontinued the adjustment for inflation of its financial statements until December 31, 2001. As from January 1, 2002, as a result of the application of Communication “A” 3702 which established the repeal of any legal and regulatory rule that did not allow companies to restate their accounting balances at period-end currency values, the Bank resumed the application of the adjustment for inflation in accordance with the rules issued in due time by the Argentine Central Bank using the adjustment coefficient derived from the domestic wholesale price index published by the National Statistics and Census Institute (INDEC). Furthermore, it has been considered that the accounting measurements derived from the changes in the purchasing power of the currency between December 31, 1994 and 2001 are stated in the currency value as of the latter date.

On March 25, 2003, the Executive Branch issued Decree 664 establishing that the financial statements for years ending as from that date are to be stated in nominal currency. Consequently, in accordance with Communication “A” 3921 of the BCRA, the restatement of the financial statements was discontinued as from March 1, 2003.

Pursuant to the Argentine professional accounting standards in effect in the City of Buenos Aires, the financial statements must be stated in constant currency. The restatement method and the need to apply it arise from requirements contained in Technical Pronouncements No. 6 and No. 17 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE), as amended by Technical Pronouncement No. 39 issued by the referred entity on October 4, 2013 and approved by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires on April 16, 2014. These standards provide that the effects of inflation should be recognized in the financial statements in the event that certain conditions in the Argentine economy are met

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

As of June 30, 2016, the cumulative inflation rate for three consecutive years endede on such dates could not be calculated on the basis of official data provided by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census since, in October 2015, the referred entity discontinued the calculation of the Wholesale Domestic Price Index (IPIM), and resumed it in January 2016.

This circumstance should be taken into account when analyzing and interpreting these financial statements, which have been prepared in line with the accounting standards issued by the Argentine Central Bank for application by financial institutions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Changes in these values, for all derivative instruments, are recognized as a gain or loss under the caption “Financial Income – Interest on loans and other receivables from financial transactions” or “Financial Expenses – Interest on deposits and other liabilities from financial transactions”, respectively.

BANCO HIPOTECARIO SA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

Capital stock, treasury shares, non-capitalized contributions, reserves, and capital adjustment:

The Shareholders' Equity account activity and balances prior to December 31, 1994 have been stated in the currency values prevailing at that date, following the method mentioned in this Note. The transactions carried out subsequent to that date have been recorded in currency values of the period or year to which they correspond. The balances of the Shareholders’ Equity accounts as of June 30, 2016 have been restated up to February 28, 2003 as explained in the third paragraph. The adjustment derived from the restatement of the balance of "Capital Stock" was allocated to "Equity Adjustments". The issued treasury shares added due to the termination of Total Return Swap transaction are carried at nominal value.

Results:

Income and expenses have been recognized against the results for the fiscal year, regardless of whether they have been collected or paid.

The preparation of the financial statements requires that the Bank’s Board of Directors perform estimates affecting assets and liabilities, the net income/ (loss) for the fiscal period or year and the determination of contingent assets and liabilities at the date thereof, such as allowances for loan losses and impairment, the recoverable value of assets and provisions. Since these estimates involve value judgments regarding the probability of occurrence of future events, the actual net income/ (loss) may differ from the estimated amount and thus generate losses or profits affecting subsequent periods or years. All legal and regulatory rules in force at the date of presentation of these financial statements have been considered.

The financial statement figures for the previous fiscal period or year, presented for comparative purposes, include certain reclassifications and adjustments that contemplate specific disclosure criteria so as to present them on a consistent basis with those of the current fiscal period or year.

2.23. Statements of Cash Flows

The consolidated statements of cash flows were prepared using the measurement methods prescribed by the BCRA, but in accordance with the presentation requirements of ASC 230.

For purposes of reporting cash flows, “Cash and cash equivalents” include “Cash and due from banks”.

2.24. Use of Estimates

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

3. Restricted Assets

Certain of the Bank's assets are pledged or restricted from use under various agreements. The following assets were restricted at each balance sheet date:

The securitizations were recorded as sales, and accordingly, the mortgage and consumer loans conveyed to the trusts are no longer recorded as assets of the Bank.

The Bank's Programa de Propiedad Participada (“PPP”) is the Bank's employee stock ownership plan. Under Decree 2127/2012 and Resolution 264/2013 issued by the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance, the PPP was implemented. Under this plan, in a first stage, out of a total of 75,000,000, 17,990,721 Class B shares were converted into Class A shares, to be allocated among the employees that have withdrawn from the Bank in accordance with the implementation guidelines. Upon delivery to the former employees, the 17,990,721 shares will become Class D shares. The shares allocated to the Bank’s current employees are designated as Class B shares, representing the PPP.

On December 2, 2015, the Bank took notice of an observation raised by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions reporting to the Argentine Central Bank with regard to the insurance business developed by Banco Hipotecario S.A. through BHN Vida S.A. and BHN Seguros Generales S.A.

The observation requires the enforcement of the credit scoring regulations, which impose a 12.5% limit on interests in the capital stock and voting rights of other companies.

In reply, the Bank has claimed that such observation should be revised, in that the Bank is allowed to conduct the business in question pursuant to the Privatization Law No. 24,855 and

On April 30, 2010, the General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to delegate upon the Board of Directors the decision to pay with the treasury shares in portfolio the Stock Appreciation Rights (StAR) coupons resulting from the debt restructuring as advisable based on the contractually agreed valuation methods and their actual market value after allowing the shareholders to exercise their preemptive rights on an equal footing.

On June 16, 2010, the Board of Directors resolved to launch a preemptive offer to sell a portion of the Bank’s treasury shares, for a total of 36.0 million class D shares. The remaining shares would be delivered in payment to the holders of Stock Appreciation Rights (StAR) coupons arising from the debt restructuring, which fell due on August 3, 2010. On July 26, 2010, within the framework of the referred offer, the Bank sold approximately 26.9 million of the shares mentioned above.

On August 3, 2010 the proceeds of the offer and the balance of the shares referred in the preceding paragraph were made available to the holders of the Stock Appreciation Rights (StAR) coupons. With the above-mentioned offering, 999,312 Class D shares were sold in excess of those required to pay off the obligation previously mentioned. In connection with such excess sale, Ps. 554 were recorded as retained earnings to reflect the addition of the shares to the entity’s equity, which took place on January 29, 2009 as detailed in this note, and a further Ps. 834 were booked as Additional paid-in capital for the difference between the value as added to the entity’s equity and the sales value.

The General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 24, 2013 resolved to allocate 35,100,000 Class D shares held by the Bank to a compensation program for the personnel under the terms of Section 67 of Law 26831. This decision is pending approval of CNV.

On April 24, 2014 the General Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting acknowledged the incentive or compensation program described in the preceding paragraph and its extension to the personnel employed by the subsidiaries BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A., BH Valores S.A., BHN Sociedad de Inversión S.A., BHN Vida S.A. and BHN Seguros Generales S.A.

Distribution of profits

No profits may be distributed when any financial year does not produce profits.

Argentine Central Bank Communication “A” 4152 dated June 2, 2004 left without effect the suspension of the distribution of profits established by Communication “A” 3574. However, those banks that proceed to such distribution must be previously authorized by the Financial and Exchange Institutions Superintendency.

Through Communiqué “A” 4526 dated April 24, 2006, the BCRA established that when the Legal Reserve is used to absorb losses, earnings shall not be distributed until the reimbursement thereof. Should the balance prior to the absorption exceed 20% of the Capital Stock plus the Capital Adjustment, profits may be distributed once the latest value is reached.

For purposes of determining distributable balances, the net difference arising from the book value and the market quotation shall be deducted from retained earnings, in the event the Entity records government debt securities and/or debt securities issued by the BCRA not recorded at market prices, with volatility published by such entity.

Pursuant to its Communication “A” 5072, BCRA established that no dividend distribution shall be admitted in so far as: a) the amounts deposited as minimum cash requirements on average – in Pesos, foreign currency or in Government securities – were less than the requirements pertaining to the most recently closed position or the position as projected taking into account the effect of the distribution of dividends, and/or b) the amounts deposited as minimum capital requirements were less than the requirements recalculated as previously mentioned plus a 30% increase, and/or c) the Entity has received financial aid from the BCRA on grounds of illiquidity as set forth in Section 17 of BCRA’s Charter.

On January 27, 2012, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 5272 whereby it established that for the calculation of the minimum capital requirement, the minimum capital for operational risk shall be included. On the same date, Communication “A” 5273 was also issued, whereby the BCRA resolved to increase the percentage referred to in the preceding paragraph, subsection b), from 30% to 75%.

Communication “A” 5369 provided that as from January 1, 2013, for the purposes of calculating the position of minimum capitals, the capital requirement for credit risk due to securitizations must be computed over all the transactions outstanding as of the computation date.

On September 23, 2013 the Argentine Congress enacted Law N° 26,983 which amends the Income Tax Law and sets forth that dividends or earnings in money or in kind shall be levied with Income Tax at a 10% tax rate payable in a final and lump sum.

The Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, held on April 13, 2011, resolved to distribute the income for the year ended on December 31, 2010 as follows: Ps. 39,063 (20%), to be applied to the

legal reserve Ps. 100,000 (61.59%), to be paid out as cash dividends on ordinary shares, and the balance, after the Board’s remuneration, to be maintained as retained earnings. On September 20, 2012, the BCRA reported that there were no objections against the Bank’s distribution of cash dividends for Ps. 100,000, as requested. For such reason, on October 10, 2012 such cash funds were made available to the shareholders.

The Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting, held on August 23, 2013, resolved to distribute the income for the year ended on December 31, 2012 as follows: Ps. 68,721, to be applied to the legal reserve; Ps. 30,000, to be paid out as cash dividends on ordinary shares; and Ps. 244,886 to be maintained as retained earnings. This decision has been approved by BCRA.

On April 24, 2014, the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to distribute the income for the year ended on December 31, 2013 as follows: Ps. 84,190, to be applied to the legal reserve; Ps. 42,000, to be paid out as cash dividends on ordinary shares; and Ps. 294,760 to be maintained as retained earnings. Through Note 314/43/14 dated December 23, 2014, the Argentine Central Bank authorized the Bank to distribute cash dividends for Ps. 42,000. At its meeting dated January 7, 2015, the Board of Directors of Banco Hipotecario S.A. resolved that these dividends should be made available to the shareholders as of January 16, 2015.

On July 12, 2016 by means of Communication "A" 6013 the Argentine Central Bank published the updated text on “Distribution of profits” effective as from January 1, 2016 by means of Communication “A” 5827 and supplementary rules. The provisions of this communication aim at converging towards international principles and standards, among other changes, they stablish additional capital margins.

27. Employee Benefit Plan

The Bank is obligated to make employer contributions to the National Pension Plan System determined on the basis of the total monthly payroll. These expenses are recorded in “Salaries and social security contributions” under the “Administrative expenses” caption in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

28. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of its business the Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These instruments expose the Bank to credit risk in addition to amounts recognized in the balance sheets. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit.

(a)

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer at a future date, subject to such customers meeting of pre-defined contractual milestones. Typically, the Bank will commit to extend financing for construction project lending on the basis of the certified progress of the work under construction. Most arrangements require the borrower to pledge the land or buildings under construction as collateral. In the opinion of management, the

()

Bank’s outstanding commitments do not represent unusual credit risk. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party is represented by the contractual notional amount of those commitments.

(x)

The Bank has a unilateral and irrevocable right to reduce or change the credit card limit, thus it considered there is no off-balance sheet risk. In the opinion of management, the Bank’s outstanding commitments do not represent unusual credit risk. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party is represented by the contractual notional amount of those commitments.

( )

The Bank accounts for items drawn on other banks in memorandum accounts until such time as the related item clears or is accepted. In the opinion of management, the Bank’s risk of loss on these clearing transactions is not significant as the transactions primarily relate to collections on behalf of third parties.

( )

Mainly includes the amounts given as collateral for transactions held by customers.

29. Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

By virtue of its General Resolution No. 562, the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) has decided to enforce the provisions under the Technical Pronouncement No. 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) that adopts the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for all the companies overseen by CNV as from the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2012.

The Bank is not obligated to apply these standards insofar as the CNV has excluded all the entities for which CNV is empowered to accept the accounting criteria laid down by other regulatory and/or oversight authorities (financial institutions, insurance companies, etc.) from using the IFRS.

On February 12, 2014, BCRA issued its Communication “A” 5541 whereby it provides a roadmap to convergence between the informational and accounting regime and IFRS. Pursuant to this Communication, the entities and institutions must start to account for their financial transactions and changes in accordance with the rules issued by BCRA following the above-mentioned convergence regime as from the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018. This roadmap includes the following steps:

● First half of 2015

Financial institutions must prepare and file their own convergence plan and provide the name of the compliance officer appointed to such end.

Disclosure of guidelines to be observed by institutions regarding reconciliations are to be filed with the BCRA.

● Second half of 2015

The institutions shall file with the BCRA, together with the financial statements as of the fiscal year’s closing date, a reconciliation of the main asset, liability and shareholders’ equity captions with the amounts that would result from applying the rules issued by the BCRA under the scope of the IFRS convergence process. This information shall include a special report by the independent auditor and will be used exclusively by the BCRA for supervision and regulation purposes, and will qualify as non-public. Institutions shall report on the degree of progress made in the IFRS Convergence Plan.

● Year 2016

According to the method and frequency established in due course, institutions shall continue to report to the BCRA the degree of progress made by them in the IFRS convergence process. In

● Year 2017

As of January 1, 2017, institutions shall prepare the opening financial statements that will serve as basis for preparing their comparative financial statements. In each quarterly statement, they shall include a reconciliation of the main asset, liability and shareholders’ equity captions and results with the amounts that would result from applying the rules issued by the BCRA under the scope of the IFRS convergence process. Such reconciliations shall be supported by a special report by the independent auditor. The quantitative information and the degree of progress of the IFRS Convergence Plan will be disclosed in a note to the published financial statements.

● Year 2018

As from the financial statements starting on January 1, 2018, financial institutions shall be required to record their transactions and equity changes in accordance with the rules issued by the BCRA under the IFRS convergence process. Therefore, as from the closing of the first quarter, they shall prepare and submit their published financial statements according to the above mentioned rules; the independent auditor shall issue an opinion thereon and such financial statements will be the ones used by the institutions for all legal and corporate purposes.

On March 31, 2015 the Bank’s Board of Directors has approved (i) the Implementation Plan for Convergence towards the International Financial Reporting Standards dictated by the Communication “A” 5541 for Financial Entities subject to supervision of the BCRA; and (ii) the designation of the coordinators which will have the obligation to inform the Board of Directors the status and degree of progress of the project.

The plan contains the creation of a work team; coordination with the management of the related companies in which permanent investments are held, controlled companies or companies in which significant influence is exercised; design and communication of a training plan; identifying impacts on operations and the information to be submitted that requires the implementation of specific actions (adapting information systems, internal control, etc.).

Half-yearly reports must be made to the BCRA, showing the progress made in the Implementation Plan. The first due date of this presentation operates on September 30, 2015. Each half-yearly report shall include a report issued by the Internal Audit Department.

As of June 30, 2016, there have been two presentations relating to the progress of the plan on September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016. Both presentations were approved by the Board of the entity and were accompanied by an audit report approved by the internal Audit Committee.

On February 19, 2014, the Bank was notified of Resolution No. 209/13 handed down by the Chairman of the Financial Information Unit (UIF), whereby it ordered to commence summary proceedings against the Bank, its directors (Messrs. Eduardo S. Elsztain; Mario Blejer; Ernesto M. Viñes; Jacobo J. Dreizzen; Edgardo L. Fornero; Carlos B. Písula; Gabriel G. Reznik; Pablo D. Vergara del Carril; Mauricio E. Wior; Saul Zang); the Risk and Controlling Manager, Mr. Gustavo D. Efkhanian and the Manager of the Money Laundering Prevention and Control Unit Manager, Mr. Jorge Gimeno. In these proceedings, an investigation is made into the defendants’ liability for alleged violation of the provisions of Section 21 of Law 25,246, as amended, and Resolution UIF No. 228/2007 due to certain defaults detected by the BCRA in the inspection of the organization and in internal controls implemented for the prevention of money-laundering derived from illegal activities. On March 25, 2014, the relevant defenses and arguments were filed in support of the Bank and the individuals subject to the summary proceedings.

In the legal counsel’s opinion, at the current stage of the proceedings and based on the precedents existing at the UIF in connection with similar cases, it is estimated that there are chances of imposing an administrative penalty. The estimated and provisioned as of December 31, 2015 amounts to Ps. 20.

On December 29, 2014, the Bank was notified of the Resolution passed by the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions No. 824 dated December 1, 2014 ordering the start of Summary Proceedings No. 6086 on Foreign Exchange Matters (File 101.534/11) against Banco Hipotecario S.A. and a former Manager (Mr. Gabriel Cambiasso) and five assistants (Claudio H. Martin; Daniel J. Sagray; Rubén E. Perón; Marcelo D. Buzetti and Pablo E. Pizarro) at the Cordoba Branch, in the terms of Section 8 of the Foreign Exchange Criminal Regime Law (as signed into law pursuant to Decree No. 480/95). In the above-mentioned summary proceedings, an investigation is made in connection with excesses in the limits for selling foreign currency to two entities in the City of Cordoba (for a combined amount of US$ 701,270), which allegedly violate the provisions of Communication “A” 5085, paragraph 4.2.1.

On July 3, 2015 the writ containing the defenses and arguments was filed with the Central Bank and the relevant evidence was offered.

On April 12, 2016 the Argentine Central Bank ordered the production of evidence by the parties, and all evidence previously offered was produced.

On August 11, 2015, we were notified of Resolution No. 76/15 adopted by the chairman of the Unidad de Información Financiera, which initiated a summary proceeding (sumario) against us, our Board of Directors (Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, Mario Blejer, Diego Luis Bossio, Mariana González, Edgardo Luis José Fornero, Ada Mercedes Maza, Mauricio Elías Wior, Saúl Zang, Ernesto Manuel Viñes, Gabriel Adolfo Gregorio Reznik, Jacobo Julio Dreizzen, Pablo Daniel Vergara del Carril and Carlos Bernardo Pisula) and our compliance officer for an alleged violation to section 21 a) of Law No.25,246 and to Resolution No.121/11. The UIF initiated the proceeding after an audit by the Central Bank in 2013 detected certain weaknesses in our internal anti-money laundering controls. As of the date of this offering memorandum, we have not established any provisions in connection with this proceeding. According to that resolution, the Bank and its directors would have incurred - "prima facie" - in certain defaults related to the way customers are identified, monitoring parameters , the definition of the risk matrix and the updating procedures of background and profiles of customer, among others.

Based on the UIF’s backround on similar cases, the Bank is likely to be imposed an administrative fine. Therefore, it was deemed reasonable to create an allowance for this contingency amounting to Ps. 20, which was booked on October 22, 2015.

4. On February 15, 2016 the Bank was notified of Resolution No. 1014 issued by the Superintendent of Financial and Exchange Institutions by which it was decided to conduct summary (Summary No. 1486) under the terms of Article 41 of the Financial Institutions Law to Banco Hipotecario SA and its president Mr. Eduardo S.

It is worth mentioning that in all cases tried to regular and alternate directors designated by the National State.

On 29 February 2016 the defenses and rebuttals were presented and accompanied the documentary evidence, which examined by the Management Contentious Financial Affairs in the Central Bank.

in light of the likelihood that the Bank could be imposed an administrative fine, it was deemed reasonable to create an allowance for this contingency amounting Ps.560, which was booked as of the closing date of these financial statements

5. On May 10, 2016 the Bank was notified of Resolution No 219 dated April 22, 2016 handed down by the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions in order to commence summary proceedings (Summary Proceedings file No. 6845) in the terms of Section 8 of the Foreign Exchange Criminal Law No. 19,359 (as signed into law pursuant to Decree No. 480/95) against Banco Hipotecario S.A. its former Manager Mr. Ricardo José González and Mrs. Luciana Sabrina Fusco and Liliana Elisabeth Sabella, on grounds of alleged breach of the rules contained in Communication “A” 5318 and “5322”, as supplemented, consisting in allegedly selling foreign currency for US$ 69,620 under residential mortgage transaction, without fulfilling the requirements set forth in the above mentioned communications.

Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, Saúl Zang, Marcelo Gustavo Cufré and Fernando Sergio Rubín) for them to file their defenses.

For such reason, allowances for Ps. 360 have been recorded in this regard.

II –Summary Proceedings pending Court Decision

On October 31, 2014, BHSA was notified of Resolution No. 685 dated October 29, 2014 handed down by the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions in the summary proceedings in financial matters No. 1320 whereby the Bank and its authorities had been charged, on one hand, with the violation of the rules governing financial aid to the Non-Financial Public Sector, with excess over the limits of fractioned exposure to credit risk from the non-financial public sector, with excess in the allocation of assets to guarantee, with failure to satisfy minimum capital requirements and with objections against the accounting treatment afforded to the “Cer Swap Linked to PG08 and External Debt” transaction and on the other hand, with delays in communicating the appointment of new directors and tardiness in the provision of documentation associated to the directors recently elected by the shareholders’ meetings.

Resolution No. 685 then fined Banco Hipotecario S.A. with Ps,4,040 and also fined BHSA’s directors (Eduardo S. Elsztain; Jacobo J. Dreizzen; Carlos B. Písula; Edgardo L. Fornero; Gabriel G. Reznik; Pablo D. Vergara del Carril; Ernesto M. Viñes; Saul Zang; Mauricio E. Wior), former directors (Clarisa D. Lifsic de Estol; Federico L. Bensadón; Jorge L. March and Jaime A.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

Upon being notified of the resolution handed down on June 30 by the Appellate Court that denied the motion for injunction filed by the Bank and by the directors, managers and some of the statutory auditors and in order to prevent further conflicts and financial damage that could result from the actions to compel payment of fines, the Bank’s Executive Committee decided to apply the indemnity rules regarding directors, high ranking officers and statutory auditors, as an alternative for the amounts not covered by the D&O insurance policy approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors at its meetings held on August 2, 2002 and May 8, 2013, and resolved to deposit the amounts of the fines.

Such deposit, including the amount corresponding to the fine imposed on the Bank and the respective legal costs, totaled Ps. 57,671.9. Out this amount, Ps. 53,631.9 were computed as losses for this period in the manner described in the Minutes of the Meeting held by Banco Hipotecario S.A.’s Executive Committee on July 2, 2015 and in the Minutes of the Board Meeting held on July 15, 2015, and Ps. 4,040 were covered by a provision made in fiscal year 2014.

This notwithstanding, in the brief filed with the court that is hearing the proceedings to compel payment it was sustained that the amounts deposited in the judicial accounts opened to such end were subject to attachment, and a petition was filed for the respective amounts to be invested in automatically renewable term deposits for 180 days in order to ensure the integrity of the funds until the Appellate Court with Federal Jurisdiction over Contentious and Administrative Matters hands down a decision on the appeal lodged against Resolution No. 685/14 of the Argentine Central Bank.

The request for injunction were rejected and the Court made progress in the proceedings for enforcing the fines against each of the defendants. For such reason, a request was made for applying the amounts subject to attachments to the payment of the relevant fines.

On September 13, 2013, the Bank was notified of Resolution No. 611 handed down by the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions, whereby it ordered to commence summary proceedings against the Bank and the manager Christian Giummarra and the former manager Aixa Manelli (Summary Proceedings No. 5469 on Foreign Exchange Matters) charging them with alleged violation of the foreign exchange laws in selling foreign currency to persons prohibited from trading foreign currency by the Argentine Central Bank. The cumulative amount derived from the alleged violation in the sale of foreign currency is around US$ 39.9 thousand and Euro 1.1 thousand. The relevant defenses and arguments have been filed and evidence has been offered in support of all the defendants subject to the summary proceedings. Due to its related subject matter, the record of this case was joined with Summary Proceedings No. 5529 on Foreign Exchange Matters (File 101,327/10). Therefore, its procedural status is described together with the latter.

Moreover, on October 8, 2013, the Bank was notified of Resolution No. 720 handed down by the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions, ordering to commence summary proceedings against the Bank and its Organization and Procedures Manager, Mr. Christian Giummarra, and the former Systems Manager, Ms. Aixa Manelli (Summary Proceedings No. 5529 on Foreign Exchange Matters) in accordance with Section 8 of the Criminal Foreign Exchange Regime Law (Ley de Régimen Penal Cambiario) –as amended by Decree 480/95- charging them with alleged violation of the foreign exchange laws in selling foreign currency to persons prohibited from trading foreign currency by the Argentine Central Bank.

In mid- September 2015 the summary in which both actions were accumulated) was sent by the Central Bank to Economic Criminal Justice for sentencing. Involving the Court with jurisdiction over Criminal Economic Matters No.2 (Dr. Pablo Yadarola) - Secretary No. 3 (Dr. Fernando Stockfisz) ..

In the legal counsel’s opinion, at the current status of the proceedings, there are legal and factual arguments that generate reasonable expectations that the physical persons named defendants and Banco Hipotecario S.A. will be acquitted and that therefore, there are low chances that the Bank will be subject to the economic sanctions set forth by the Criminal Foreign Exchange Regime Law (Ley de Régimen Penal Cambiario). For such reason, no allowances have been created in this regard.

On August 26, 2014, the Bank was notified of the Resolution passed by the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions No. 416 dated August 7, 2014 ordering the start of Summary Proceedings No. 5843 in the terms of Section 8 of the Foreign Exchange Criminal Regime Law No. 19,359 (as signed into law pursuant to Decree No. 480/95). In the above-mentioned summary proceedings, Banco Hipotecario, its directors (Messrs. Eduardo S. Elsztain; Jacobo J. Dreizzen; Edgardo L. Fornero; Carlos B. Písula; Gabriel G. Reznik; Pablo D. Vergara del Carril; Ernesto M. Viñes; Saul Zang; and Mauricio E. Wior) and former directors (Ms. Clarisa D. Lifsic de Estol and Mr. Federico L. Bensadón), and two former managers (Messrs. Gabriel G. Saidón and Enrique L. Benitez), are charged with failure to comply with the rules disclosed by Communication “A” 3471 (paragraphs 2 and 3) and by Communication “A” 4805 (Paragraph 2.2.) due to certain transfers of currency made abroad between August and October 2008 to guarantee the “CER Swap Linked to PG08 and External Debt” swap transaction for a total of US$ 45,968 thousand, without the authorization of the Argentine Central Bank. BHSA has been allowed to review the proceedings (case file No. 100.308/10) which are being handled by the Argentine Central Bank’s Department of Foreign Exchange Contentious Matters. The relevant defenses and arguments were filed in support of the subjects to the summary proceedings. The BCRA opened the discovery stage on March 16, 2015. Evidence was produced and the counsels for the defense’s allegations were raised in due time. Upon conclusion of the administrative stage of the proceedings, the case file was sent to the Courts with Jurisdiction over Criminal Economic Matters. On November 18, 2015, the Court with Jurisdiction over Criminal Economic Matters No. 3, presided by Dr. Rafael E. Caputo, Clerk’s Office No. 5, determined that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case; therefore, the proceedings were forwarded to the Court with Jurisdiction over Criminal Economic Matters No. 2, which has still not determined whether it has competent jurisdiction

In the legal counsel’s opinion, at the current stage of the proceedings there are legal and factual arguments that generate reasonable expectations that the physical persons named defendants and Banco Hipotecario S.A. will be acquitted and that therefore, there are low chances that the Bank will be subject to the economic sanctions set forth by the Criminal Foreign Exchange Regime Law (Ley de Régimen Penal Cambiario). For such reason, no allowances have been created in this regard.

31. Programa Crédito Argentino del Bicentenario para la Vivienda Única y Familiar (PROCREAR)

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

On that same date, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved the Bank’s role as trustee of the referred fund.

On July 18, 2012, the Argentine State, as Trustor, and Banco Hipotecario S.A. as Trustee, created the PROCREAR Administrative and Financial Trust, and its underlying assets were transferred to it as trust property.

The Trust’s sole and irrevocable purpose is as follows: (i) to manage the trust assets with the aim of facilitating the population’s access to housing and the generation of job opportunities as economic and social development policies, in compliance with the principles and objectives set forth in Decree No. 902; (ii) the use by the Trustee of the net proceeds of the placement of the Trust Bonds (Valores Representativos de Deuda or VRDs) and cash contributions by the Argentine State to originate loans for the construction of houses in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 902 and the credit lines; and (iii) the repayment of the VRDs in accordance with the terms of the agreement that creates the Trust and the provisions of the Trust Law.

The Trust shall be in effect for a term of thirty (30) years as from the date of execution of the agreement (July 18, 2012).

In addition to the obligations imposed on it under the Trust Law and the Commercial Code, the Trustee is required to:

● perform the obligations set forth in the Trust Agreement and follow the instructions imparted on it by the Executive Committee;

● carry out its duties as Trustee with the loyalty, diligence and prudence of a good businessman acting on the basis of the trust placed on him;

In compliance with Communication “A” 5392, the Bank has capitalized mortgage loan origination expenses under this program (see note 2.13.).

32. Capital Market Law

On December 27, 2012, the Capital Market Law No. 26,831 was promulgated, considering a comprehensive amendment to the public offering regime set forth by Law No. 17,811.

Insofar as concerns the matters related to the Company’s business, this law broadens the regulatory powers of the Argentine Government in connection with the public offering of securities, through the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), and concentrates in this agency the powers of authorization, supervision and oversight, disciplinary authority and regulation of all capital market players; further, it establishes that intermediary agents willing to deal in a securities market are no longer required to be members thereof, thus allowing the entry of other participants, and delegates to the CNV the power to authorize, register and regulate the various categories of agents.

On August 1, 2013, Decree 1023/2013, partially regulating the Capital Markets Law, was published in the Official Gazette, and on September 9, 2013, General Resolution No. 622 of the CNV, approving the related regulations, was published in the Official Gazette.

These regulations implement a register of agents that participate in the capital market. To take part in each of the activities regulated by this resolution, agents had to be entered in that register in such capacity by March 1, 2014.

For those agents who have applied for registration with the final registry before March 1, 2014 to comply with all the requirements, on February 7, 2014, the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) extended the term until December 31, 2014. On June 23, 2014 we were notified by Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. that CNV mandated that the Agents registered with MAE S.A. who have proceedings underway before CNV for registration as Agent in any of the categories authorized by currently applicable rules and regulations may continue to do business normally up and until they start operating in the new Agent category as per the CNV rules (N.T.2013)

In turn, pursuant to CNV Resolution No. 17,392 dated June 26, 2014, the Bank was registered with the Registry of Financial Trustees prescribed by Sections 6 and 7 of Chapter IV, Title V of the Rules, under No. 57. And, on September 19, 2014, pursuant to CNV Resolution No. 2122, the Bank has been registered as Settlement and Clearing Agent and Comprehensive Trading Agent No. 40.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 45 of Law 26,831 and paragraph a), Section 20, Article VI, Chapter II, Title VII, and subsection j) of Section 7, Article IV, Chapter IV, Title V of Resolution No.622 of the CNV, it is made known that Banco Hipotecario’s minimum capital composed as required by the rules issued by the Argentine Central Bank exceeds the minimum amount required under such resolution. On the other hand, the Bank’s capital was duly paid in as of the closing of

the period and the liquid balancing account is identified as BONAR 17 (Government security carried at fair market value).

On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A. approved the registration of Banco Hipotecario S.A. in Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A.’s Registry of Agents as Settlement and Clearing Agent and Trading Agent – Comprehensive (ALyC and AN as per the Spanish acronyms).

On December 23, 2014, BHSA was authorized to operate under the provisions of Merval Communication No. 15594.

Pursuant to CNV’s Resolution No. 17.338 dated April 24, 2014, BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A., was registered with the Registry of Financial Trustees prescribed by Sections 6 and 7 of Chapter IV, Title V of the Rules, under No. 55. And, on September 19, 2014, CNV communicated to BACS that in its capacity as Settlement and Clearing Agent - Comprehensive and Trading Agent the Bank has been assigned License No. 25. It must be noted that the composition of BACS’ equity as of the end of the period was correct and that the liquidity requirement takes the form of Peso-denominated Lebacs.

As of the date of these financial statements, BH Valores SA has been approved by CNV as a Settlement and Clearing Agent in its own name under Registration Number 189 in the terms of CNV’s General Resolution No. 622.

According to the minimum requirements laid down, BH Valores S.A.’s minimum shareholders’ equity exceeds the amount prescribed by CNV’s General Resolution No. 622 and its composition is correct. As to the liquidity requirements, they have been satisfied in the form of a deposit of the Government security called Bono de la Nación Argentina $ Badlar Privada + 200 bps. Vto. 2017, as discussed in Exhibit II to the Company’s financial statements.

In view of the latest tax, regulatory and operational developments that have modified BH Valores S.A.’s commercial strategy and decreased the competitive advantages of running such a business, the Board of Directors of BH Valores S.A. has, as of the date of these financial statements, decided to substantially diminish the volume of operations with an eye towards suspending the operations of BH Valores S.A. in the future to prevent two structures that are presently highly similar in terms of their functions and have been rendered redundant within the same conglomerate from overlapping.

33. Resolutions issued by the Argentine Central Bank

Financing line for production and financial inclusion

Under Communication “A” 5874 dated December 31, 2015, the Argentine Central Bank revised the name of the credit line in effect since 2012 and started to publish the “Credit line for production and financial inclusion purposes”.

The new line will become effective on the first half of 2016. The financial institutions subject to the provisions of this circular must record a lending balance under this credit line amounting to at least 14% of the deposits from the non-financial private sector in pesos, calculated taking into account the monthly average daily balances of November 2015, being able to attribute all the balances of loans disbursed through the "Line of credit for productive investment " in so far as the case of destinations also supported by this line.

At least 75% of the quota must be granted to SMEs. In calculating the quota, the average daily balances of outstanding loans during the first half of 2016 will be considered. The highest rate applicable under this line should be a fixed nominal rate of 22% per annum for the first 36 months, except for the purchase of portfolio and mortgage loans and loans for the acquisition of rights over trusts for the construction of real property to individuals, which will be a mixed interest rate. For clients who do not qualify as SMEs, the rate will be freely agreed upon.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

Finally, under Communication "A" 5975 dated May 17, 2016 the Argentine Central Bank established the 2016 second quota under the "Fianncing line of production and financial inclusion", whereby a lending balance equal to at least 15.5 % of the non-financial private sector deposits in pesos, calculated taking into account the monthly average daily balances of May 2016, must be recorded under this line.

At the closing of these financial statements BHSA had recorded in average Ps. 1,401,724 as principal and interest under BHSA’s assets in connection with this credit line.

Compliance with rules on term deposits and investments. Conditions governing interest rates on term deposits

Pursuant to its Communication “A” 5781, the Argentine Central Bank raised the floor of the interest rates payable on term deposits and the maximum amount of the placements that may obtain such benefit. The rest of the transactions shall be agreed upon freely, that is, without the involvement of the Argentine Central Bank.

It has been determined that starting on July 27, 2015 the rates can’t be less than the product arising from the last reference interest rate and a coefficient according to the original term of the imposition, as follows:

- from 30 to 44 days: 0.91

- from 45 to 59 days: 0.93

- from 60 to 89 days: 0.97

- from 90 to 119 days: 0.97

- from 120 to 179 days: 0.98

- from 180 days or more: 0.99

These minimum rates apply to all Peso-denominated term deposits of up to Ps.1,000 on behalf of holders who are human and / or legal persons.

Finally, the Argentine Central Bank provides that failure to comply with the minimum rate level shall result in an increase in minimum cash requirements in Pesos for an amount equivalent to all relevant term deposits for the month following that when the failure to comply takes place. No offsets among term deposits are allowed. In addition to the foregoing, summary proceedings shall be commenced in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions.

This regulation was repealed by the Argentine Central Bank through Communication “A” 5853, as described in the following item.

Interest rates on lending transactions. Financing subject to interest rate regulation by the Central Bank.

Under Communication “A” 5590 dated June 10, 2014, the BCRA adopted a system of benchmark interest rates for personal and pledge loans to individuals not qualifying as SMEs and established a ceiling for these kinds of loans that may not exceed the product arising from multiplying the 90-day LEBACs’ cut-off interest rate by a multiplier ranging from 1.25 to 2.0, depending on the kind of loan and Bank Group. To this end, banks are divided into:

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

- Group I: financial institutions operating as financial agents of the national, provincial and/or municipal governments and/or other institutions accounting for at least 1% of the total deposits from the non-financial private sector; and

- Group II; the remaining institutions.

The BCRA publishes the “benchmark interest rate” to be applied by the financial institutions in each of these groups to each type of loans (personal loans, pledge loans and portfolio purchases). The rates applied by each institution to each loan within the lines mentioned above may not exceed the “benchmark interest rate” reported by the BCRA.

On December 17, 2015, under Communication "A" 5853 the BCRA repealed the above mentioned Communications and thus eliminated any regulation on rates, for both lending transactions and term deposits. This new rule will became applicable to any loans agreed upon from December 17, 2015 onwards.

However, the BCRA provides that financial institutions shall disclose the total financial cost of lending transactions (by displaying it at their offices and in press ads) subject to specific typeface size requirements.

Moreover, it establishes a timetable for violations detected until June 30, 2016 for transactions subject to regulated interest rates, i.e., those outstanding as of December 16, 2015; and for violations detected from January 1, 2016 onwards, the provisions set forth in Communication “A” 5849 shall apply.

The mechanism provided in such rule imposed the obligation to reimburse the excess amount collected and any expenses incurred by clients in filing their claims.

Protection granted to users of financial services

On March 23, 2016 following Communication "A" 5928 the Argentine Central Bank decided that all savings accounts shall be free of charge, including the use of debit cards and that the fees charged by the bank can be raised by up to twenty percent (20 %), insofar as the customer is informed of these increases at least 60 days before their effective application in the case of products sold for a price. Bank shall be free to determine the fees to be charged by them starting September 1, 2016.

Financial institutions shall be under duty to inform their competitors’s prices when they decide to change a price and to insert a highlighted hyperlink on their website with the name "Price Comparison " leading to BCRA’sweb page which will show the charges applied by peer banks on their different products.

Finally, under Communication "A" 5993 dated June 22, 2016 the Argentine Central Bank put an end to the "Financial service fees and/or charges " reporting scheme and establishes a new transparency reporting scheme, whereby financial institutions are required to disclose on a monthly basis the fees and charges of the products and/or services offered to users of financial services.

Assignment of financial and foreign exchange institutions’ foreign currency position

On December 17, 2015 under Communication "A " 5828, the BCRA provided that financial institutions authorized to carry out foreign exchange transactions, should sell to the BCRA their positive foreign currency position as of the closing of business on December 16, 2015 valued at reference exchange rate prevailing on such date, and could then repurchase it in full, on December 17, 18 or 21, 2015 at the reference exchange rate prevailing on the repurchase date.

Differences in measurement methods

As from March 1, 2003, inflation accounting was discontinued. The following reconciliation does not include the reversal of the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements for the effects of inflation, because, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), it represents a comprehensive measure of the effects of price-level changes in the Argentine economy, and as such, is considered a more meaningful presentation than historical cost-based financial reporting for both Argentine GAAP and U.S. GAAP.

The main differences between Argentine GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to the Bank are described below, together with an explanation, where appropriate, of the method used in the determination of the necessary adjustments. References below to “ASC” are to Accounting Standard Codification issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the United States of America.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

Given the bank’s role as Trustee of the PROCREAR Administrative and Financial Trust, (see note 30), it has capitalized direct expenses incurred in the mortgage loan origination process, which disbursements would not have been incurred by it had it not been for the grant of the related loans, in accordance with the provisions of Communication “A” 5392. Such origination expenses are amortized in 60 monthly installments.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, under ASC 310 loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs should be recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment of yield.

Therefore the shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP for Banco Hipotecario S.A. as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. (222,687) and (90,893), respectively.

b. Loan loss reserve

The Bank’s accounting for its allowance for loan losses differs in some significant respects with practices of U.S.-based banks.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the allowance for loan losses is calculated according to specific criteria. This criterion is different for commercial loans (those in excess of Ps. 2,500) and consumer loans. Loan loss reserves for commercial loans are principally based on the debtors’ payment capacity and cash-flows analysis. Loan loss reserves for consumer loans are based on the client’s aging. Argentine banks may maintain other reserves to cover potential loan losses which management believes to be inherent in the loan portfolio, and other Argentine Central Bank required reserves.

Under U.S. GAAP, the allowance for loan losses should be in amounts adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan portfolio, incurred at the respective balance sheet dates. Specifically:

Loans considered impaired, in accordance with ASC 310-10 “Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, are recorded at the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective contractual interest rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Under ASC 310-10, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the borrower will be unable to pay contractual interest or principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. ASC 310-10 applies to all loans except smaller-balance homogeneous consumer loans, loans carried at the lower of cost or fair value, debt securities, and leases.

The Bank applies ASC 310-10 to all commercial loans classified as “With problems”, “Insolvency Risks” and “Uncollectible” or commercial loans more than 90 days past due. The Bank specifically calculates the present value of estimated cash flows for commercial loans in excess of Ps.2,500 and more than 90 days past due. For commercial and other loans in legal proceedings, loans in excess of Ps.2,500 are specifically reviewed either on a cash-flow or collateral-value basis, both considering the estimated time to settle the proceedings.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the result of applying ASC 310-10, shows that the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity for U.S. GAAP purposes of Ps.60,574 and Ps. 39,753, respectively.

In addition, the Bank has performed a migration analysis for mortgage, credit cards and consumer loans following the ASC 450-20 and historical loss ratios were determined by analyzing historical losses, in order to calculate the allowance required for smaller-balance impaired loans and unimpaired loans for U.S. GAAP purposes. Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type and thus for homogeneous groups of clients. Such historical ratios were updated to

incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends, geographic or obligor concentrations within each portfolio segment, and any other pertinent information that may affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.

As a result of the analysis mentioned before, the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity for U.S. GAAP purposes of Ps. (193,715) and Ps. (129,868), for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, loans that were previously charged-off, which are subsequently restructured and become performing loans, are included again in the Bank’s assets, according to the policies adopted by the bank. Under U.S. GAAP recoveries of loans previously charged off should be recorded when received. As of June 2016 and 2015, the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity related to reinstated loans of Ps. (48,146) and Ps. (62,502), respectively.

Effective July 1, 2010, the Bank implemented new accounting guidance provided by SFAS 166 and 167 (ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, respectively, under the new codification), which amend the accounting for transfers of financial assets and consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). As a result of applying such guidance, the Bank, or its subsidiaries, were deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the securitization trusts because the Bank, or its subsidiaries, have the power to direct the activities of these VIEs through its servicing responsibilities and duties. Additionally, the Bank, or its subsidiaries, through its retained interests held in these securitizations have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs. As a result of the analysis performed, the Bank should consolidate assets and liabilities of those securitization trusts, elimininating the investment in the retained interests and recording and adjustment in the allowance for loan losses of such securitization trusts.

As a result of the analysis mentioned before, the Bank recorded an adjustment to shareholders’ equity for U.S. GAAP purposes of Ps. (69,419) and Ps. (67,924), for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As a result of analysis performed the breakdown of the shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP between the Bank’s adjustment and the reconsolidated securitization trusts as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

c. Derivative Financial Instruments

As mentioned in notes 18 and 2.9. the Bank entered in several derivative transactions, mainly, to hedge: i) the exchange rate risk attached to liabilities denominated in foreign currency, and ii) interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk.

Gains and losses are recorded in earnings in each period.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815 which establishes the standards of accounting and reporting derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded within contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and hedging activities. This statement requires institutions to recognize all derivatives in the balance sheet, whether as assets or liabilities, and to measure those instruments at their fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge for the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recorded asset or liability or unrecorded firm commitment, (b) a hedge for the exposure of future cash flows and (c) a hedge for the exposure of foreign currency. If such a hedge designation is achieved then special hedge accounting can be applied for the hedged transactions that will reduce the volatility in the income statement to the extent that the hedge is effective. In order for hedge accounting to be applied the derivative and the hedged item must meet strict designation and effectiveness tests.

The Bank’s derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP. Therefore gains and losses are recorded in earnings in each period.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank’s estimates the fair value of the receivable and payable on the derivative instrument using valuation techniques with observable market parameters.

●

Discount Bonds

●

As of June 30, 2004 the Bank held certain defaulted Argentine government bonds. Such bonds were not quoted in the public market. On January 2005, the Bank accepted the offer to exchange its defaulted government securities for “Discount Bonds in pesos” issued under the Argentine debt restructuring. On April 1, 2005 the government securities were exchange.

For U.S. GAAP purposes and in accordance with ASC 310 satisfaction of one monetary asset (in this case a defaulted government securities) by the receipt of another monetary asset (in this case Discount Bonds) from the creditor is generally based on the market value of the asset received in satisfaction of the debt. In this particular case, the Bonds being received are significantly different in structure and in interest rates than the securities swapped. Therefore, the fair value of the Bonds was determined on the balance sheet date based on their market value and will constitute the cost basis of the asset. Any difference between the old asset and the fair value of the new asset is recognized as a gain or loss. The bonds arisen from the exchange have been sold.

As of June 30, 2015 and 2015 the Discount Bonds were considered available for sale securities for U.S. GAAP purposes according with ASC 320-10 and recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.

As of June 30, 2015 the following table shows the amortized cost, book value and fair value of the mentioned bond.

Discount Bonds	9,624	9,624	9,090	(11,013)	(534)

During the period ended June 30, 2016, all Discount Bonds were sold. Therefore, the 2016 U.S. GAAP net income reconciliation includes the reversal of the 2015 shareholders’ equity adjustment of Ps. (534) plus Ps. 534 of gains previously recorded through other comprehensive income, which that are being realized and reversed through the income statement during the period ended June 30, 2016.

●

Other Bonds

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, some National Government Bonds, unquoted securities issued by the BCRA and bills issued by Provincial Governments have been recorded at cost. This value increases monthly on the basis of the internal rate of return resulting from the interest rate which, used as discount, matches the cash flow’s present value with the initial value.

Under U.S. GAAP these securities were considered available for sale securities according with ASC 320 and recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the following table shows the amortized cost, book value and fair value of the mentioned bonds:

The Bank has evaluated whether there was a decline in the value of the security that is other-than temporary as defined by ASC 320.

A number of factors are considered in performing an impairment analysis of securities. Those factors include, among others:

Intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment for a period of time that allows for any anticipated recovery in market value;

Expectation to recover the entire amortized cost of the security;

Recoveries in fair value after the balance sheet date;

The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer (such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investment or the discontinuance of a segment of a business that may affect the future earnings potential).

Likelihood that it will be required to sell debt investments before recovery of amortized cost.

The Bank also takes into account the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been less than cost and changes in global and regional economic conditions and changes related to specific issuers or industries that could adversely affect these values.

As of June 30, 2016 the fair value of the Bills issued by Provincial Governments is less than its amortized cost. The Bank as a result of its analysis has determined that, as of June 30, 2016, unrealized losses on some Bills, are not temporary, consequently the Bank has recorded an other-than temporary impairment for U.S. GAAP purposes. Therefore the fair value of the security was determined on the balance sheet date based on their market value and will constitute the new cost basis for the asset. In addition, the bank has performed an impairment analysis for the rest of their portfolio and no other than temporary impairment were detected.

e. Financial liabilities

Bonds

As described in note 15, the bank has issued several series of negotiable obligations in different terms and conditions. Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the costs of originating such instruments have been charged to the Income Statement at the issuance date.

Under U.S.GAAP, and according to ASC 835-30-45-3, issuance costs should be reported in the balance sheet as deferred charges. In addition, ASC 470-10-35-2 states that debt issuance costs should be amortized over the same period used in the interest cost determination.

Subordinated bonds

On June 22, 2015 BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A., issued negotiable obligations that are convertible into the Company’s ordinary and book-entry shares for a principal amount of Ps.100,000. The private offering of the convertible negotiable obligations was solely addressed to the Company’s shareholders. IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima subscribed all the convertible negotiable obligations.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP the subordinated negotiable obligations have been recorded at their residual value plus interests accrued.

According to ASC 470-20-25-5, an embedded beneficial conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid in capital.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the shareholder’s equity adjustment, for both concepts, amounts to Ps. 87,863 and Ps. 10,282, respectively.

f. Securitizations

For Argentine Banking GAAP purposes, the debt securities and certificates retained by the Bank are accounted for at cost plus accrued interest for the debt securities, and the equity method is used to account for the residual interest in the trust.

Under U.S. GAAP the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) is required to consolidate its assets and liabilities. An entity is considered a VIE if it possesses one of the following characteristics:

●

Insufficient Equity Investment at Risk

●

Equity lacks decision-making rights

●

Equity with non-substantive voting rights

●

Lacking the obligation to Absorb an Entity´s Expected Losses

●

Lacking the right to receive an Entity´s expected residual returns

The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

To assess whether the Bank has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the Bank considers all facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities.

As a consequence of this assessment, the Bank was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of certain securitization trusts because the Bank has the power to direct the activities of these VIEs through its servicing responsibilities and duties. Additionally, the Bank through its retained interests held in these securitizations has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Bank consolidated certain VIE’s in which the Bank had a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the Bank reconsolidated their net assets, eliminated the gain or loss recognized on the sale of receivables when the carrying value of transferred credit card receivables differs from the amount of cash and certificates of participation received, eliminated the servicing liabilities and re-established its loan loss reserves under ASC 450-20. See note 33.b. for allowance for loan losses.

No servicing assets or liabilities have been recognized.

The total shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. (56,693) and Ps. (15,442), respectively.

Additional information required by U.S. GAAP

The Bank adopted ASC 860-10 and ASC 810-10 which require additional disclosures about its involvement with consolidated VIE’s and expanded the population of VIE’s to be disclosed. The table below presents the assets and liabilities of the financial trusts which have been consolidated for U.S. GAAP purposes:

	June 30,
	2016		2015

Cash and due from banks	Ps.	224, 065	Ps.	88,236
Loans (net of allowances)		4,425,255		2,235,655

Other liabilities		192,953		153,485
Total Liabilities	Ps.	5,830,723	Ps.	3,472,914

As of June 30, 2016, the Bank’s maximum loss exposure, which amounted to Ps. 5,830,723, is based on the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIE’s become worthless and incorporates potential losses associated with assets recorded on the Bank’s Balance Sheet. Nevertheless, under Argentine Law the Debt securities will be paid exclusively with the securitized assets.

g. Intangible Assets

Software costs

Under Argentine Banking GAAP fees paid for a re-engineering project and for restructuring expenses incurred in relation to certain equity transactions are recognized as an intangible asset and amortized in a maximum of five years. Such cost should be expensed as incurred under U.S. GAAP.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the Bank capitalizes costs relating to all three of the stages of software development. Under ASC 350-40 defines three stages for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage and the post-implementation operation stage. Only the second stage costs should be capitalized.

Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. (62,366) and Ps. (63,888), respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

On January 13, 2011, Tarshop S.A. acquired from APSA Media S.A., previously Metroshop S.A., a portfolio of credit cards delinquent by less than 60 days; a contractual position in contracts for the issuance of credit cards; the accounts of customers, the lease agreements and movable property at certain branches and the contracts of employment with personnel under a labor relationship.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, no intangible assets should be recognized in accordance with these transactions.

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 350-30 defines that an intangible asset which is acquired either individually or with a group of other assets shall be recognized. Assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes the transaction costs of the assets acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs the assets’ carrying amount on the acquiring entity’s books. The cost of a group of assets acquired shall be allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and shall not give rise to goodwill.

Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2015 amounted to Ps. (59), respectively, related to the contractual position in contracts for the issuance of credit cards and the accounts of customers recorded as intangibles assets for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Business combination

i) Acquisition of Tarshop S.A.

On August 30, 2010, the Financial and Exchange Institutions Superintendency of the Argentine Central Bank gave its consent to the purchase of 80% of the share capital of Tarshop SA. Such shareholding consists of 107,037,152 non-endorsable, registered ordinary shares, par value 1 Peso per share, and entitled to one vote per share, in turn equivalent to 107,037,152 votes.

The sales price amounted to US$ 26.8 million, of which 20% (US$ 5.4 million) was paid on December 29, 2009 and the remaining balance of the price was cancelled on September 13, 2010.

Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank rules, and due to the difference between the acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, a goodwill amounting to Ps. 29,568 was recorded under Intangible Assets – Goodwill. This goodwill is subsequently charged to Income on a straight-line basis during 60 months. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Bank has a balance of Ps. 12,320 and Ps. 15,277, respectively, related to the goodwill.

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 805 requires the acquisition of controlling interest of Tarshop S.A. to be accounted for as a business combination applying the purchase method, recognizing all net assets acquired at their fair value.

The intangible assets identified as part of the acquisition where customer relationships, trademark and workforce amounted to Ps. 24,394 as of August 31, 2010 subject to amortization.

ii) Acquisition of BACS Administradora de activos S.A. S.G.F.C.I.

On April 26, 2012 BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A. acquired 85% of the shares belonging to BACS Administradora de activos S.A. S.G.F.C.I. (former FCMI Argentina Financial Corporation S.A. S.G.F.C.I.). The purchase price was Ps. 6 million.

Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank rules, and due to the difference between the acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired as of April 30, 2012, a goodwill amounting to Ps. 4,728 was recorded under Intangible Assets – Goodwill. This goodwill is subsequently charged to income on a straight-line basis during 120 months. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Bank recorded such balance which amounted to Ps. 2,758 and Ps. 3,231, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 805 requires the acquisition of controlling interest of BACS Administradora de activos S.A. S.G.F.C.I. (former FCMI Argentina Financial Corporation S.A. S.G.F.C.I.) to be accounted for as a business combination applying the purchase method, recognizing all net assets acquired at their fair value.

Goodwill amortization, under Argentine Banking GAAP has been reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes.

h. Impairment of fixed assets and foreclosed assets

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, fixed assets and foreclosed assets are restated for inflation using the WPI index at February 28, 2003. As such, the balances of fixed assets and foreclosed assets were increased approximately 120%.

In accordance with ASC 360-10 such assets are subject to impairment tests in certain circumstances. Because projected cash flows associated with fixed assets and foreclosed assets are insufficient to recover the restated carrying amounts of the assets, those assets should be tested for impairment. During 2002, in the absence of credible market values for our fixed and foreclosed assets, the Bank under U.S. GAAP reversed the restatement of fixed and foreclosed assets.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

As of June 2016 and 2015, no additional impairment was recorded in fixed and foreclosed assets.

Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. (36,263) and Ps. (37,379), respectively. The differences between periods are due to depreciation recorded under Argentine Banking GAAP.

i. Non-controlling interest

Argentine Banking GAAP rules require recording non-controlling interests as a component of the liabilities. ASC 810 requires recording such interests as shareholders’ equity. In addition, the U.S. GAAP adjustment represents the allocation to the non-controlling interest of non-wholly owned subsidiaries of certain U.S. GAAP adjustments related to such subsidiaries.

j. Vacation Provision

The Bank’s policy for vacation benefits is to expense such benefits as taken. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the vacation accrual is based on an accrual basis, where earned but untaken vacation is recognized as a liability.

Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. (74,644) and Ps. (57,634), respectively.

k. Insurance Technical reserve

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

Until September 2003, the calculation of the local technical reserves performed by the Bank was the same as that used under U.S. GAAP.

On September 2003, the National Insurance Superintendency issued certain regulations on the calculation of reserves introducing changes to the local regulations. For U.S. GAAP purposes the Bank has accounted these insurance technical reserves under ASC 944.

Therefore, the technical reserves for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were adjusted for U.S. GAAP purposes. Shareholders’ equity adjustment as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. (1,299) and Ps. (339), respectively.

l. Capitalization of interest cost

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, during the process of construction of an asset the capitalization of interest is not recognized.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, as stated in ASC 835-20 the amount of interest cost to be capitalized for qualifying assets is intended to be that portion of the interest cost incurred during the assets’ acquisition periods that theoretically could have been avoided (for example, by avoiding additional borrowings or by using the funds expended for the assets to repay existing borrowings) if expenditures for the assets had not been made.

The amount capitalized in an accounting period shall be determined by applying an interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The capitalization rates used in an accounting period shall be based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period.

The total amount of interest cost capitalized in an accounting period shall not exceed the total amount of interest cost incurred by the enterprise in that period.

Shareholders’ Equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2015 amounted to Ps. 4,001, respectively.

m. Financial guarantees issued

During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Bank entered into different agreements to guarantee lines of credit of selected customers. As of June 30, 2016, guarantees granted by the Bank amounted to Ps. 463,107.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP the guarantees are recorded in memorandum accounts. As of June 30, 2016, for U.S. GAAP purposes the Bank recognized a liability for the fair value of the obligations assumed at its inception in accordance with the requirements of ASC 460. Such liabilities are being amortized over the expected term of the guarantee. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the guarantees less the estimated proceeds from collateral amounted to Ps. (1,209).

As of June 30, 2016, the Bank maintained the following guarantees:

	As of June 30, 2016
	Maximum Potential Payments (*)		Estimated Proceeds from collateral resource		U.S. GAAP adjustment
Financial guarantees	Ps.	463,107	Ps.	4,398	Ps.	(1,209)
	Ps.	463,107	Ps.	4,398	Ps.	(1,209)

(*) The maximum potential payments represent a “worse-case scenario”, and do not necessarily reflect expected results. Estimated proceeds from collateral and recourse represent the anticipated value of assets that could be liquidated or received from other parties to offset the Company’s payments under guarantees.

n. Miscellaneous assets

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the stock of forms, books, prints, stationery and other assets of a similar nature the entity has to be used in the future, are booked under the caption “Miscellaneous assets”.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the amounts expensed in these items should be recognized as a cost incurred during the period.

Shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of June 30, 2016 amounted to Ps. (30,848).

o. Deferred Income Tax

Argentine Banking GAAP requires income taxes to be recognized on the basis of amounts due in accordance with Argentine tax regulations. Temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of accounting are therefore not considered in recognizing income taxes.

In accordance with ASC 740-10 under U.S. GAAP income taxes are recognized on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recorded or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized for that component of net deferred tax assets which is “more likely than not” that it will not be recoverable.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and based on the tax projections performed, the Bank believes that is more likely than not that it will recover the net operating tax loss carry forward and all the temporary differences, with future taxable income.

In a consolidated basis, the Bank has recognized a shareholders’ equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP that amounted to Ps. 352,931 and Ps. 258,903, as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, financial statement presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, it provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of June 30, 2016, there were no uncertain tax positions.

The Bank classifies income tax-related interest and penalties as income taxes in the financial statements. The adoption of this pronouncement had no effect on the Bank’s overall financial position or results of operations.

The following table shows the tax years open for examination as of June 30, 2016, by major tax jurisdictions in which the Bank operates:

p. Items in process of collection

The Bank does not give accounting recognition to checks drawn on the Bank or other banks, or other items to be collected until such time as the related item clears or is accepted. Such items are recorded by the Bank in memorandum accounts. U.S. banks, however, account for such items through balance sheet clearing accounts at the time the items are presented to the Bank.

The Bank’s assets and liabilities would be increased by approximately Ps. 234,515 and Ps. 137,944, had U.S. GAAP been applied at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

II.

Additional disclosure requirements:

q. Fair Value Measurements Disclosures

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

In addition, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows.

●

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

●

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

●

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Determination of fair value

Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Bank’s creditworthiness, liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

The Bank believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Bank to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair-value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models, the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.

Assets (by Class of asset)

Securities

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Bank’s securities are classified within level 1of the valuation hierarchy using quoted prices available in the active market. Level 1 securities includes government bonds and instruments issued by BCRA and corporate securities. Furthermore the Bank´s instruments issued by BCRA with no volatility published by the BCRA and bills issued by Provincial Governments are classified within Level 2 using quoted prices available of similar assets.

Securities receivable under repurchase agreements

The Bank’s securities receivable under repurchase agreements which do not qualify for sale accounting for U.S. GAAP purposes, are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. To estimate the fair value of these securities, quoted prices are available in an active market.

Derivatives

The fair value of level 1 derivative positions are determined using quoted market prices. The fair value of level 2 derivative positions are determined using internally developed models that utilize market observable parameters.

Liabilities (by Class of liability)

Derivatives

The fair value of level 1 derivative positions are determined using quoted market prices.

The following table presents the financial instruments, by class of asset and liabilities, carried at fair value as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, by ASC 820-10 valuation hierarchy (as described above).

Account receivable charge-off and recoveries

Under Argentine GAAP, recoveries on previously charge-off account receivable are recorded directly to income and the amount of charge-off account receivable in excess of amounts specifically allocated is recorded as a direct charge to the income statement. The Bank does not partially charge off troubled account receivable until final disposition of the credit, rather, the allowance is maintained on a credit-by –credit basis for its estimated settlement value. Under U.S. GAAP, all charge off and recovery activity is recorded through the allowance for account receivable losses account. Further, account receivables are generally charged to the allowance account when all or part of the credit is considered uncollectible.

Impaired loans

ASC 310, requires a creditor to measure impairment of a loan based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. This Statement is applicable to all loans (including those restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving amendment of terms), except large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans are considered impaired when, based on Management’s evaluation, a borrower will not be able to fulfill its obligation under the original loan terms.

Credit Quality

The following tables contain the loan portfolio classification by credit quality indicator set forth by the Argentine Central Bank.

Commercial Portfolio:

Loan Classification

Description

1. Normal Situation

The debtor is widely able to meet its financial obligations, demonstrating significant cash flows, a liquid financial situation, an adequate financial structure, a timely payment record, competent management, available information in a timely, accurate manner and satisfactory internal controls. The debtor is in a sector of activity that is operating properly and has good prospects.

2. With Special Follow-up

Cash flow analysis reflects that the debt may be repaid even though it is possible that the customer’s future payment ability may deteriorate without a proper follow-up.

This category is divided into two subcategories:

(2.a). Under Observation;

(2.b). Under Negotiation or Refinancing Agreements.

3. With Problems

Cash flow analysis evidences problems to repay the debt, and therefore, if these problems are not solved, there may be some losses.

4. High Risk of Insolvency

Cash flow analysis evidences that repayment of the full debt is highly unlikely.

5. Uncollectible

The amounts in this category are deemed total losses. Even though these assets may be recovered under certain future circumstances, inability to make payments is evident at the date of the analysis. It includes loans to insolvent or bankrupt borrowers.

Credit quality indicators for the commercial portfolio are reviewed, at a minimum, on an annual basis.

Consumer Portfolio:

Loan Classification

Description

1. Normal Situation

Loans with timely repayment or arrears not exceeding 31 days, both of principal and interest.

2. Low Risk

Occasional late payments, with a payment in arrears of more than 32 days and up to 90 days. A customer classified as “Medium Risk” having been refinanced may be recategorized within this category, as long as he amortizes one principal installment (whether monthly or bimonthly) or repays 5% of principal.

3. Medium Risk

Some inability to make payments, with arrears of more than 91 days and up to 180 days. A customer classified as “High Risk” having been refinanced may be recategorized within this category, as long as he amortizes two principal installments (whether monthly or bimonthly) or repays 5% of principal.

4. High Risk

Judicial proceedings demanding payment have been initiated or arrears of more than 180 days and up to one year. A customer classified as “Uncollectible” having been refinanced may be recategorized within this category, as long as he amortizes three principal installments (whether monthly or bimonthly) or repays 10% of principal.

5. Uncollectible

Loans to insolvent or bankrupt borrowers, or subject to judicial proceedings, with little or no possibility of collection, or with arrears in excess of one year.

Credit quality indicators for the consumer portfolio are reviewed on a monthly basis.

Troubled debt restructuring

According to BCRA regulations, a refinancing is considered to exist whenever any of the original contractually agreed conditions for a financing transaction (term, capital, interest or rate) are modified.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

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

The following table presents for the financing receivables modified as troubled debt restructurings within during the last two periods:

t. Risks and Uncertainties

All transactions involving the purchase of foreign currency must be settled through the single free exchange market (Mercado Único Libre de Cambios, or “MULC”) where the Central Bank supervises the purchase and sale of foreign currency. Under Executive Branch Decree No. 260/2002, the Argentine government set up an exchange market through which all foreign currency exchange transactions are made. Such transactions are subject to the regulations and requirements imposed by the Central Bank. Under Communication “A” 3471, as amended, the Central Bank established certain restrictions and requirements applicable to foreign currency exchange transactions. If such restrictions and requirements are not met, criminal penalties shall be applied.

On October 28, 2011, the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos, “AFIP”) established an Exchange Transactions Inquiry Program (“Inquiry Program”) through which the entities authorized by the Central Bank to deal in foreign exchange must inquire and register through an IT system the total peso amount of each exchange transaction at the moment it is closed. All foreign exchange sale transactions, whether involving foreign currency or banknotes, irrespective of their purpose or allocation, are subject to this inquiry and registration system, which determines whether Transactions are “Validated” or “Inconsistent”.

Pursuant to Communication “A” 5239, afterward replaced by Communication “A” 5245, in the case of sales of foreign exchange (foreign currency or banknotes) for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without the obligation of subsequently allocating it to specific purpose, entities authorized to deal in foreign exchange may only allow transactions through the MULC by those clients who have obtained the validation and who comply with the rest of the requirements set forth in the applicable foreign exchange regulations. Sales of foreign exchange other than for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without a specific purpose are also exempted from the Inquiry Program, although, the financial entities must verify that the other requirements established by the MULC are accomplished.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

According to Communication “A” 5264, as amended, in general terms the access to the foreign exchange market for resident in order to pay services, debts and profits to non-residents has no limits or restrictions. The access to the MULC requires the filing of certain documentation by residents evidencing the validity of transactions for which the funds are purchase for its remittance abroad. Communication “A” 5236, item 4.2. which regulated the outflow of fund allowing residents to access to the MULC for the formation of off-shore assets without a specific allocation by residents has been suspended and, up to now, the Central Bank has not issued any other measure or provisions in this regard.

On August 6, 2012, Resolution #3210 was replaced by Resolution #3356 enacted by AFIP. This resolution sets forth more restrictions for the access to the foreign exchange market, in particular for the outflow of funds made by residents. Both resolutions (3210 and 3356) are related with Communications “A” 5239 (currently abrogated) and 5245.

The Argentine government may, in the future, impose additional controls on the foreign exchange market and on capital flows from and into Argentina, in response to capital flight or depreciation of the Peso. These restrictions may have a negative effect on the economy and on our business if imposed in an economic environment where access to local capital is constrained.

u. U.S. GAAP estimates

Valuation reserves, impairment charges and estimates of market values on assets and step up bonds discounting, as established by the Bank for U.S. GAAP purposes are subject to significant assumptions of future cash flows and interest rates for discounting such cash flows. Losses on the exchange of government and provincial bonds were significantly affected by higher discount rates. Should the discount rates change in future years, the carrying amounts and charges to income and shareholders’ equity deficit will also change. In addition, as estimates of future cash flows change, so too will the carrying amounts which are dependent on such cash flows. It is possible that changes to the carrying amounts of loans, investments and other assets will be adjusted in the near term in amounts that are material to the Bank’s financial position and results of income.

v. Allowance for loan losses

Management believes that the current level of allowance for loan losses recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes are sufficient to cover incurred losses of the Bank’s loan portfolio as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. Many factors can affect the Bank’s estimates of allowance for loan losses, including expected cash flows, volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity. The process of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses requires a high degree of judgment. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions. If market conditions and economic uncertainties exist, it might result in higher credit losses and provision for credit losses in future periods.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

35. New authoritative pronouncements

During the twelve-months ended June 30, 2016, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Updates. Those updates applicable for the Bank are mentioned below:

ASU 2015-03

The FASB issued in April 2015 the Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The Board is issuing this Update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements.

The Board received feedback that having different balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premium creates unnecessary complexity. Recognizing debt issuance costs as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) also is different from the guidance in IFRS, which requires that transaction costs be deducted from the carrying value of the financial liability and not recorded as separate assets. Additionally, the requirement to recognize debt issuance costs as deferred charges conflicts with the guidance in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, which states that debt issuance costs are similar to debt discounts and in effect reduce the proceeds of borrowing, thereby increasing the effective interest rate. Concepts Statement 6 further states that debt issuance costs cannot be an asset because they provide no future economic benefit.

To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

ASU 2015-15

In August 2015, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-15 “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on accounting for the costs on line-of-credit arrangements.

Given the absence of authoritative guidance within Update 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement.

The impact of this ASU has not any significant effect in the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information for the Bank.

ASU 2015-16

In September 2015, FASB issued ASU 16 “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustment”

As of and for the twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos, except share data and as otherwise indicated)

ASU 2016-01

In January 2016, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The amendments in this Update: i) Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; ii) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; iii) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and iv) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; among other changes.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The impact of this Update has not any significant effect in the present U.S. GAAP financial statements.

ASU 2016-02

Accounting Standard Update 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” was issued in February 2016. The FASB is issuing this Update to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the ASC and creating Topic 842, Leases. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The impact of this Update has not any significant effect in the present U.S. GAAP financial statements.

36. BHN Inversión S.A.’s dividend distribution

On March 9, 2016 the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of BHN Sociedad de Inversión S.A. approved the payment of cash dividends and / or government securities for Ps 650,000 authorizing the Board to make the distribution in the form and opportunity in the year 2016 sees fit.

38. Supplementary services to the financial business

Pursuant to Communication “A” 5700, the Argentine Central Bank included changes in the rules on “Supplementary services to the financial business and permitted activities”, “Consolidated supervision” and “Minimum capitals of financial institutions”.

As concerns the scope of the supplementary services, it is allowed to hold interests in the stock capital of companies engaged in the development of two of the subject activities to the extent that, in the opinion of the SEFyC, both activities are economically related to each other and there are no legal inconsistencies that would prevent them from being developed jointly.

The subject activities include the issuance of credit, debit and similar cards. This notwithstanding, provided that 25% of the total financing amount as of the closing date of each month is not exceeded, loans not subject to the credit card law may be extended to financial services users, in which cases the provisions on “Interest rates applicable to lending transactions” shall be complied with.

On the other hand, changes are introduced in the calculation of the regulatory capital (responsabilidad patrimonial computable) to reflect the impact of these amendments.

As a result of such Communication, on March 16, 2015, Tarshop SA’s General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved an amendment to its corporate purpose. According to such amendment, the company may grant and market consumer loans and consumer credits and financing for users of financial services pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank’s rules and regulations, handle the collection of utility bills, credits and similar items, render payroll and supplier payment and revenue collection services.

In such regard, on June 3, 2016, the Argentine Central Bank awarded the Company a Provisional Authorization Code in the Register of Other Non-Financial Credit Providers, and thus allowed it to start granting consumer loans, in line with the amendment to the corporate purpose recorded with the General Superintendency of Corporations on January 8, 2016 under number 437, book 77 of Corporations, and authorized by the Argentine Securities Commission under Resolution No. 17,930 dated December 21, 2015.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

New Lipstick LLC and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of New Lipstick LLC and Subsidiary, which comprise the balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the related statements of operations, changes in members’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New Lipstick LLC and Subsidiary, as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1:

BUSINESS

Formation and Property Description

New Lipstick LLC (the "Company"), was organized as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced operations on November 3, 2010. The Company was formed among IRSA International, LLC ("IRSA"), Marciano Investment Group, LLC ("Marciano"), Avi Chicouri ("AVI"), Par Holdings, LLC ("PAR"), and Armenonville S.A. ("Armenonville"), collectively (the "Members"). On December 15, 2010, Armenonville assigned 100 percent of its membership interest to Lomas Urbanas S.A. IRSA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TYRUS S.A. ("TYRUS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima, a company whose shares are listed on the Buenos Aires and New York Stock Exchanges. The Company was formed in order to acquire 100% interest in Metropolitan 885 Third Avenue Leasehold LLC ("Metropolitan"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, and to provide management services to Metropolitan.

Metropolitan was organized for the purpose of acquiring and operating a 34 story Class A office tower commonly known as the Lipstick Building located at 885 Third Avenue in New York (the "Property"). Metropolitan leased the land which contains approximately 26,135 square feet. The Property was acquired on July 9, 2007 and contains approximately 635,800 square feet of rentable space, consisting of retail and office spaces.

On November 16, 2010 (the "Petition Date"), Metropolitan filed a voluntary pre-packaged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11") in the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") including a disclosure statement and plan of reorganization (the "Plan"). The Plan provided for, among other things, the extinguishment of 100% of the shares of Metropolitan and the issuance of the membership interest to the Company. The Plan was approved by Metropolitan's members and the Bankruptcy Court approved the Plan on December 22, 2010 with an effective date of December 30, 2010 (the "Effective Date").

Metropolitan accounted for the reorganization using "fresh start accounting" effective December 30, 2010. Accordingly, the forgiveness of debt was reflected in the predecessor entity's final statement of operations and all assets and liabilities were restated to reflect their reorganization value.

The Company operates under the guidelines of an Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into by the Members on November 15, 2010. The manager of the Company is Lipstick Management, LLC (“LM”), a company affiliated to IRSA.

The Agreement calls for Class A and Class B Members. Class A Members are IRSA, Marciano, and Armenonville and Class B Members are AVI and PAR.

Class B Membership interests of any Class B Member shall be automatically converted, in whole and not in part, into an equal number of Class A Membership interests on the earlier to occur of the date on which LM certifies that all unreturned additional Class A capital contributions and all unreturned Class A capital contributions have been reduced to zero.

Total	100.00	$29,347,549

NOTE 2:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of New Lipstick LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary Metropolitan.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Use of Estimates

Management is required to use estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate

Real estate consists of building, building improvements and tenant improvements and is stated at cost. Building and improvements are depreciated over 39 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the terms of the respective leases.

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized to building improvements and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds such cash flows, the assets are considered impaired. The impairment charge to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value. No impairment was recorded for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less upon acquisition to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalent accounts in financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash balances at two financial institutions. At times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) insurance limit. According to the FDIC insurance limit, deposits held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are aggregated with any interest-bearing deposits the Company may hold in the same ownership category, and the combined total insured is up to at least $250,000. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, these balances at one of the institutions, including tenant security and escrow amounts, were in excess of federally insurable limits by approximately $3,838,801 and $3,985,000, respectively.

NOTE 2:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow, as required by the lender, to be used for real estate taxes, insurance and other qualified expenditures, as well as tenant security deposits.

Tenant Receivables

The Company carries its tenant receivables at the amount due pursuant to lease agreements but uncollected at period end, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs, collections and current conditions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes base rent on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred rent receivable represents the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeded rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements.

Capitalized below market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rents (see Note 4).

Capitalized above market lease values are amortized as a decrease to base rents (see Note 4).

The Company also receives reimbursements from tenants for certain costs as provided for in the lease agreements. These costs include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable costs in excess of a base year amount. The reimbursements are recognized when the tenants are billed.

Deferred income represents rent collected in advance of being due.

Deferred Ground Rents

Ground rent expense is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the ground leases. All future minimum increases in the non-cancelable ground rents consist of either 2.5% or 3% annual increases through May 1, 2068. This has resulted in deferred ground rent payable in the amount of $164,724,375 and $136,727,666 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively (see Note 6).

Lease Intangibles

Leasing costs and commissions incurred in connection with leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective leases. Unamortized deferred leasing costs are charged to amortization expense upon early termination of the lease.

Above and below market leases and above market ground lease values were recorded on the Property's reorganization date based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflected the risk associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and ground lease, and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases and ground lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases.

NOTE 2:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Lease Intangibles (continued)

Above market lease values are capitalized as an asset and amortized as a decrease to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The above market ground lease value is capitalized as an asset and amortized to ground rent expense over the remaining term of the ground lease. Below market lease values are capitalized as a liability and amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases.

The aggregate value of in-place leases were measured based on the difference between (i) the Property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates, and (ii) the Property valued as if vacant, based upon management's estimates. Factors considered by management in their analysis included an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management included real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily were a year. Management also estimated costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. As of June 30, 2016, the remaining terms were ranging from three months to nine years.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes is necessary in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because the Company is a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Income or loss of the Company is includible in the separate income tax returns of the Members. Prior to the effective date of reorganization on December 30, 2010, the Company was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company performed a review for uncertainty in income tax positions in accordance with authoritative guidance. As of June 30, 2015, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is no longer subject to federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before December 31, 2011. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax laws and new authoritative rulings.

The Company´s income tax returns for its tax years commencing January 1, 2009, through December 30, 2010, have been selected by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for audit. Such audit is in its preliminary stage. At this time, the Company has not been advised of any proposed changes to its New York State income tax returns filed for the tax years January 1, 2009 through December 30, 2010.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the December 30, 2010 acquisition of Metropolitan over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. In accordance with GAAP goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests. Annual impairment tests are performed by either comparing a “reporting units” (in the Company’s case, the Company as a whole) estimated fair value to its carrying amount or by doing a qualitative assessment of a reporting units fair value from the last quantitative assessment to determine if there is a potential impairment.

A qualitative assessment may be done when the results of the previous quantitative test indicated the reporting unit’s estimated fair value was significantly in excess of the carrying value of its net assets and we do not believe there have been significant changes in the reporting unit’s operations that would significantly decrease its estimated fair value or significantly increase its net assets. Management has selected the end of the Company’s fiscal year as the date on which to either perform its annual impairment tests for goodwill or make the determination as to whether qualitative factors render it unnecessary. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the date of the impairment tests, no impairment of goodwill was identified.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year consolidated financial statement presentation.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors

Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd. (hereinafter “the Company”) which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

F-265

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, based on our audit and on the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows, for the year ended December 31, 2015, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Notes to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015

Note 1 - General

Description of the Company and its activities

Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd. is an Israel-resident company that was incorporated in Israel, and its official address is at Golan Street in Airport City Park. The Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015, include those of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together – “the Group”) as well as the Company’s interest in associated companies and in joint arrangements. The Group operates in and outside of Israel and is engaged in development, manufacturing and marketing of agrochemicals, intermediate materials for other industries, food additives and synthetic aromatic products, mainly for export.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 60% of the Company’s shares were held by China National Agrochemical Corporation (hereinafter – “CNAC”) and 40% of the Company’s shares were held by Koor Industries Ltd. (“Koor”). The Company is a reporting entity.

Sales of agrochemical products are directly impacted by the timing of the agricultural seasons (in each of the various markets), the weather in every region and the cyclical pattern of the harvests. Therefore, the Company’s income is not uniform or spread evenly throughout the quarters of the year. The agricultural seasons in countries located in the northern hemisphere (mainly the United States and Europe) take place in the first two quarters of the year and, accordingly, in these countries the sales are usually highest in the first half of the year. On the other hand, in the southern hemisphere, the seasonal trends are the opposite and most of the local sales are made in the second half of the year, except for Australia where most of the sales are made in April through July.

In the Company’s estimation, the Group's balanced regional exposure mitigates the inherent seasonality in the business to some extent, even though the Group’s sales are higher in the northern hemisphere.

Notes to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015

Note 2 - Basis for Financial Statement Preparation

Declaration of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the - International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 31, 2016.

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities:

–

Financial instruments, derivative and other assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss.

–

Inventory measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

–

Deferred tax assets and liabilities.

–

Provisions.

–

Assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits.

–

Investments in associated companies and joint ventures.

For additional information regarding the measurement of these assets and liabilities see Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies.

Use of estimates and judgment

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to use judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the implementation of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The preparation of accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires the Company’s management to make assumptions regarding circumstances and events that involve considerable uncertainty. Management of the Company prepares the estimates on the basis of past experience, various facts, external circumstances, and reasonable assumptions according to the pertinent circumstances to each estimate.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Notes to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015

Note 2 - Basis for Financial Statement Preparation (cont’d)

Use of estimates and judgment (cont’d)

Information regarding assumptions made by the Group with respect to the future and other significant reasons for uncertainty with respect to the estimates, that have a significant risk that they may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year, is included in the following notes:

●

Contingent liabilities – when assessing the possible outcomes of legal claims filed against the Company and its investee companies, the company positions are based on the opinions of their legal advisors. These assessments by the legal advisors are based on their professional judgment, considering the stage of the proceedings and the legal experience accumulated regarding the various matters. Since the results of the claims will be determined by the courts, the outcomes could be different from the assessments.

In addition to the said claims, the Group is exposed to unasserted claims, inter alia, where there is doubt as to interpretation of the agreement and/or legal provision and/or the manner of their implementation. This exposure is brought to the Company’s attention in several ways, among others, by means of contacts made to Company personnel. In assessing the risk deriving from the unasserted claims, the Company relies on internal assessments by the parties dealing with these matters and by management, who weigh assessment of the prospects of a claim being filed, and the chances of its success, if filed. The assessment is based on experience gained with respect to the filing of claims and the analysis of the details of each claim. Naturally, in view of the preliminary stage of the clarification of the legal claim, the actual outcome could be different from the assessment made before the claim was filed.

For further information regarding the Company’s exposure to claims – see Note 19 regarding contingent liabilities.

●

Impairment of assets – the Company evaluates the need for recording a provision for impairment of goodwill at least annually, on a fixed date. In addition, each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether events have occurred or whether there have been changes in circumstances that indicate that impairment has occurred in one or more of the other non-monetary assets. If there are signs of impairment, an examination is made as to whether the amount at which the investment in the asset is stated can be recovered from the discounted cash flows expected from that asset and, if necessary, an impairment provision is recorded up to the recoverable amount. The discounted cash flows are calculated using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the market's assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks attributed to the asset. Determination of the estimated cash flows is based on past experience of this asset or similar assets, and the Company’s best assessment of the economic conditions that will prevail during the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. Changes in the Company’s assessments, as noted, could lead to material changes in the book value of the assets and the operating results.

Notes to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015

Note 2 - Basis for Financial Statement Preparation (cont’d)

Use of estimates and judgment (cont’d)

●

Estimated useful life of intangible assets – intangible assets that have a defined useful life are amortized systematically over their estimated useful life. The amortization period reflects the best estimate of the period in which future economic benefits are expected to accrue to the Company. Use of other assumptions could lead to a different assessment of the estimated period in which future economic benefits are expected to be received.

●

Allowance for doubtful debts – the Company’s trade receivables are stated net of an allowance for doubtful debts. The allowance for doubtful debts is examined regularly by the Company’s management and is determined mostly according to familiarity with the customer, its quality and the collateral amount the customer provides. Changes in the assumptions used to calculate the allowance could lead to material changes in the allowance required.

●

Income taxes – the Company and Group companies are assessed for income tax purposes in a large number of jurisdictions and, therefore, Company management is required to use considerable judgment in determining the total provision for taxes and attribution of income. Deferred taxes are calculated at the tax rates expected to be in effect when they are realized. Some of the Group companies create deferred tax assets in respect of losses carried forward for tax purposes in cases where it is expected to utilize these losses in the foreseeable future. Changes in these assumptions could lead to material changes in the book values of the tax assets and tax liabilities and in the operating results.

For additional information regarding deferred taxes and taxes on income – see Note 17.

●

Employee benefits – the Group’s liabilities for long-term post-employment and other benefits are calculated according to the estimated future amount of the benefit to which the employee will be entitled in consideration for his services during the current period and prior periods. The benefit is stated at present value net of the fair value of the plan’s assets, based on actuarial assumptions. Changes in the actuarial assumptions could lead to material changes in the book value of the liabilities and in the operating results.

For additional information regarding employee benefits – see Note 18.

●

Derivative financial instruments – the Group enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging risks related to foreign currency, inflationary risks and interest risks. The derivatives are recorded at their fair value. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on quotes from financial institutions. The reasonableness of the quotes is examined by discounting the future cash flows, based on the terms and time to maturity of each contract, while using market interest rates of a similar instrument as of the measurement date. Changes in the assumptions and the calculation model could lead to material changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities and in the operating results.

●

Inventories – inventories are measured in the financial statements at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is an estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business, after deducting the estimated cost to complete and the costs required to execute the sale. The selling price is estimated on the basis of the expected selling price at the time of realization of inventories. A reduction in the expected selling price could lead to an impairment of the inventories.

Note 2 - Basis for Financial Statement Preparation (cont’d)

Immaterial adjustment of the comparative figures

During the first quarter of 2015, an immaterial error was found in calculation of the unrealized income in respect of inventory sold between the Group’s subsidiaries. The impact of the correction on the comparative figures is in the following items: retained earnings, in the amount of $7.4 million, constituting 0.7% of the retained earnings as previously report, inventory, in the amount of $10.4 million, and deferred tax assets, in the amount of $3 million.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. In this Note, matters have been marked in bold with respect to which the Group has chosen accounting alternatives permitted in the accounting standards.

Basis for Consolidation

(1)

Business combinations

The Group applies the acquisition method with respect to all business combinations. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control over the acquiree. Control exists where the Group is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the acquiree and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the acquiree. Substantive rights held by the Group and others are taken into account when assessing control.

The Group recognizes goodwill on acquisition according to the fair value of the consideration transferred including any amounts recognized in respect of non-controlling interests in the acquiree as well as the fair value on the acquisition date of any pre-existing equity right of the Group in the acquiree, less the net amount attributed in the acquisition to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

On the acquisition date, the Group recognizes a contingent liability assumed in a business combination if there is a present obligation resulting from past events and its fair value can be reliably measured.

The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. After the acquisition date, the Group recognizes changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as a financial liability in profit or loss.

Basis for Consolidation (cont’d)

(1)

Business combinations (cont’d)

Costs associated with the acquisition incurred by the acquirer in the business combination, such as, legal, valuation and other professional or consulting fees, are recognized as an expense in the period in which the services are received.

(2)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Company. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control was acquired and up to the date control ceases to exist. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

(3)

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intercompany balances within the Group and unrealized income and expenses derived from intercompany transactions are eliminated as part of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

(4)

Structured entities

The Group operates with a structured entity for purposes of securitization trade receivables. The Group does not have any direct or indirect holding in the shares of that entity. The structured entity, which was established for purposes of securitization of such trade receivables, was included in the consolidated financial statements when the Group had control over the entity per its definition is in Paragraph (1) above.

(5)

Investment in associated associates and joint ventures

Associates are those companies in which the Group has significant influence over the financial and operating policies, but where control or joint control over them has not been achieved. There is a rebuttable presumption whereby a holding at the rate of 20% to 50% in the investee entity confers significant influence. When examining the existence of significant influence, account is taken of potential voting rights that may be exercised or converted immediately for shares of the investee company.

Joint ventures are joint arrangements wherein the Group has rights in the arrangement’s net assets.

Investments in associates and joint arrangements are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share in the revenues and expenses in the income or loss and other comprehensive income of investee companies accounted for using the equity method of accounting, from the date on which the significant influence or joint control exists until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases.

(6)

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests constitute the equity of a subsidiary that cannot be attributed, directly or indirectly, to the parent company.

Measurement of non-controlling interests on the date of the business combination

Non-controlling interests which are instruments that confer a present ownership interest and entitle their holders to a share of net assets in the event of liquidation (for example: ordinary shares), are measured at the date of the business combination at their proportionate interest in the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree.

Allocation of profit or loss and other comprehensive income to the shareholders

Profit or loss and any component of other comprehensive income are allocated to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. The total profit or loss and other comprehensive income is allocated to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if as a result the balance of the non-controlling interests will be negative.

Transactions with non-controlling interests, while retaining control

Transactions with holders of non-controlling interests while retaining control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the consideration paid or received and the change in the non-controlling interests is recognized in the owners’ share in the equity of the Company directly in a capital reserve.

For an increase in the holding rate, the amount of the adjustment to the non-controlling interests is calculated according to the proportionate share acquired from the balance of the non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements prior to the transaction.

Furthermore, when the holding rate of the subsidiary changes, while retaining control, the Group re-attributes the accumulated amounts that were recognized in other comprehensive income to the owners of the Company and the non-controlling interests.

Issuance of a put option to non-controlling interests

A put option issued by the Group to holders of non-controlling interests that is settled in cash or another financial instrument is recognized as a liability at the present value of the exercise price. In subsequent periods, changes in the value of the liability in respect of a put option issued commencing from January 1, 2010 are recognized in profit or loss according to the effective interest method. Changes in re-measurements of liabilities in respect of a put option issued by the Group to holders of non-controlling interests before January 1, 2010, continue to be recognized in goodwill and are not recognized in profit or loss. The Group’s share of a subsidiary’s profits includes the share of the holders of the non-controlling interests to which the Group issued a put option, even where the non-controlling interests have access to the returns arising from the interests in the subsidiary.

Dividends distributed to holders of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary that hold a put option are recognized in equity.

Loss of control

Upon the loss of control, the group derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and other components of equity related to the subsidiary.

Functional currency and presentation currency

(1)

General

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Dollar, which is the Group’s functional currency. The Dollar is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Group operates.

(2)

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the Group’s functional currency according to the exchange rate in effect on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency on the reporting date are translated into the functional currency according to the exchange rate prevailing on that date. Exchange rate differences in respect of monetary items are the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for the effective interest and for payments during the period, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated according to the exchange rate at the end of the period. Exchange rate differences are recognized directly in “financing expenses” in the consolidated statement of income.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currency and measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction.

(3)

Foreign Operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and adjustments to fair value recorded at acquisition, are translated into Dollars according to the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the report. Income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Dollars according to the exchange rates that were in effect on the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences in respect of the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and are presented in equity as part of capital reserve.

When a foreign operation is a subsidiary that is not wholly owned by the Company, the proportionate share of the foreign currency differences in respect of the foreign operations is allocated to the non-controlling interests.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the Translation Reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as a part of the gain or loss on the disposal.

Generally, exchange rate differences in respect of loans received from or provided to foreign operations, including foreign operations that are subsidiaries, are recognized in profit and loss in the consolidated financial statements. Where settlement of loans received from or provided to the foreign operations is not planned and is not expected in the foreseeable future, gains and losses from exchange rate differences deriving from these monetary items are included as part of a net investment in the foreign operations, are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are presented within equity as part of the Translation Reserve.

Financial Instruments

(1)

Non-derivative financial instruments

Initial recognition of financial assets

The Group initially recognizes loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are created. All other financial assets acquired in a regular way purchase, including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized initially on the trade date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, meaning on the date the Group undertook to purchase the asset. Non-derivative financial instruments include trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the Group to the cash flows deriving from the financial asset expire, or the Group transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows deriving from the financial asset in a transaction in which all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are effectively transferred.

Regular way sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, meaning on the date the Group undertook to sell the asset.

Classification of financial assets into categories and the accounting treatment of each category

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to the initial recognition, loans and other receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables include cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances available for immediate use and call deposits. Cash equivalents include highly-liquid short-term investments having original maturities of up to three months, that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, and which are exposed to insignificant risk of changes in value.

Offset of financial assets and liabilities

A financial asset and a financial liability are offset and the amounts are presented net in the statement of financial position when the Group has a currently enforceable legal right to offset the amounts and intends to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability concurrently.

Financial Instruments (cont’d)

(2)

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities include bank overdrafts, loans and borrowings from banks and others, marketable debt instruments, finance lease liabilities and trade and other payables.

Initial recognition of financial liabilities

The Group initially recognizes debt instruments issued on the date that they are issued. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to the initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation of the Group, as specified in the agreement, expires or when it is settled or cancelled.

(3)

Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its risks related to foreign currency, inflation and interest rates and derivatives that are not used for hedging.

Hedge accounting

On the commencement date of the accounting hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the Group’s risk management objectives and strategy in executing the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used by the Group to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedge is expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value of cash flows that can be attributed to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80–125 percent.

With respect to a cash-flow hedge, a forecasted transaction that constitutes a hedged item must be highly probable and must give rise to exposure to changes in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.

Measurement of derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting (cont’d)

Measurement of derivative financial instruments (cont’d)

Subsequent to the initial recognition, changes in the fair value of derivatives used to hedge cash flows are recognized through other comprehensive income directly in a hedging reserve, with respect to the part of the hedge that is effective. Regarding the portion of the hedge that is not effective, the changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss. The amount accumulated in the hedging reserve is reclassified to profit and loss in the period in which the hedged cash flows impact profit or loss and is presented in the same line item in the statement of income as the hedged item.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge accounting is discontinued. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in a hedging reserve through other comprehensive income remains in the reserve until the forecasted transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss in respect of the hedging instrument in the hedging reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

Economic hedge

Hedge accounting is not applied with respect to derivative instruments used to economically hedge financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency or CPI linked. Changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognized in profit or loss as financing income or expenses.

Derivatives that are not used for hedging

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not used for hedging are recognized in profit or loss as financing income or expenses.

(4)

CPI-linked assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

The value of CPI-linked financial assets and liabilities that are not measured according to fair value are revalued in every period, according to the actual rate of increase/decrease in the CPI.

(5)

Share capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares and options for shares are recognized as a deduction from equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to an expected issuance of an instrument that will be classified as an equity instrument are recognized as an asset in deferred expenses in the statement of financial position. The costs are deducted from the equity upon the initial recognition of the equity instruments, or are deducted as financing expenses in the statement of income when the issuance is no longer expected to take place.

Treasury shares

When share capital recognized in equity is repurchased by the Group, the amount of the consideration paid, including direct costs, net of the tax effect, is deducted from equity and classified as treasury shares. Upon cancellation of the treasury shares, the amount of the consideration paid for them is deducted from the capital reserves.

Fixed assets

(1)

Recognition and measurement

Fixed-asset items are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accrued impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that can be directly attributed to purchase of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of the materials and direct labor costs, as well as additional costs that are directly attributable to bringing the asset to the position and condition necessary for it to function as management intended, as well as an estimate of the costs to dismantle and remove the item, to restore its location and capitalized borrowing costs. The cost of purchased software, which is an integral part of operating the related equipment, is recognized as part of the cost of such equipment.

Spare parts, servicing equipment and stand-by equipment are classified as fixed assets when they meet the definition of fixed assets in IAS 16; otherwise, they are classified as inventory.

When major parts of a fixed asset item (including costs of major periodic inspections) have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of fixed assets.

Changes in the obligation to dismantle and remove the items and to restore the site on which they are located, other than changes deriving from the passing of time, are added to or deducted from the cost of the asset in the period in which they occur. The amount deducted from the cost of the asset shall not exceed the balance of the carrying amount, and any balance is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The gain or loss from disposal of a fixed-asset item is determined by comparing the consideration from disposal of the asset to its book value, and is recognized net in the “other income” or “other expenses” items, as applicable, in the statement of income.

(2)

Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of a fixed-asset item and other subsequent expenses are recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with them will flow to the Group and if their cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part of a fixed asset item is derecognized. Current maintenance costs of fixed-asset items are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(3)

Depreciation

Depreciation is a systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

An asset is depreciated from the date it is ready for use, meaning the date it reaches the location and condition required for it to operate in the manner intended by management.

(3)

Depreciation (cont’d)

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of every fixed-asset item, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Freehold land are not depreciated.

The estimated useful life for the current period and comparative periods is as follows:

Buildings	25–50 years
Facilities and equipment	22 years
Furniture, equipment and accessories	7–17 years	– mainly 14 years
Motor vehicles	5–7 years
Computers and auxiliary equipment	3–5 years

The estimates regarding the depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting year and adjusted where necessary.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented as part of intangible assets. For information regarding measurement of goodwill upon initial recognition – see Paragraph A(1) of this Note.

In subsequent periods, goodwill is measured at cost less accrued impairment losses.

Research and development

Expenditures related to research activities undertaken for the purpose of acquiring know-how and new scientific or technical knowledge are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

Development activities relate to a plan for the production of new products or processes or significant improvement of existing products or processes. Expenditures for development activities are recognized as an intangible asset only if: it is possible to reliably measure the development costs; it is technically and commercially possible to implement the product or process; future economic benefit is expected from the product and the Group has intentions and sufficient resources to complete development of the asset and then use or sell it. The expenditures capitalized in respect of development activities include the cost of materials and overhead expenses that can be directly attributed to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other costs for development activities are recognized in profit and loss as incurred.

In subsequent periods, capitalized development costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accrued impairment losses.

Intangible Assets (cont’d)

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accrued impairment losses.

Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs are recognized as an intangible asset only where they increase the future economic benefit embodied in the asset in respect of which they were expended. All other costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Amortization

Amortization is a systematic allocation of the amortizable amount of an intangible asset over its useful life. The amortizable amount is the cost of the asset, less its residual value.

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets from the date they are available for use, since this method most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Goodwill that has an indefinite useful life is not systematically amortized but is tested at least once a year for impairment.

Intangible assets generated within the Group are not systematically amortized as long as they are not available for use, i.e. they are not yet in the condition required in order that they will be able to be used as intended by Management.

The estimated useful life for the current period and comparative periods is as follows:

●

Product registration – mainly 8 years.

●

Intangible assets on purchase of products – mainly 20 years.

●

Marketing rights – 5 to 10 years.

●

Rights to use trademarks – mainly 4 years.

Registration costs incurred for products that can be identified and separated, and which in the Company’s estimation will produce future economic benefit, are recognized as an asset in the “intangible assets” category and are amortized over the period of economic benefit they are expected to provide.

The amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting year and are adjusted where necessary.

The Group examines the estimated useful life of an intangible asset that is not amortized (goodwill) in every reporting year, in order to determine if the events and circumstances continue to support the determination that the intangible asset has an indeterminate lifespan.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Leased Assets

Leases, including leases of lands from Israel Lands Administration or from other third parties, wherein the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as financing leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Future payments for exercising an option to extend the lease from Israel Lands Administration are not recognized as part of the asset and the corresponding liability since they constitute contingent lease payments that are derived from the fair value of the land on the future renewal dates of the lease agreement. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Other leases are classified as operating leases when the leased assets are not recognized in the financial report of the group. Operating lease payments are recorded in profit or loss over the lease term.

In a lease of land and buildings, the land and buildings components are examined separately for purposes of classifying the lease, where a significant consideration in classification of the land component is the fact that land normally has an indefinite useful life.

Inventory

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of the inventories of raw materials, packaging materials, spare parts, maintenance materials and purchased materials is determined according to a weighted-average formula, which includes the costs of acquiring the inventory and bringing it to its current location and condition. The cost of finished products and of products in process is determined on the basis of average production costs, including materials, labor and factory expenses. The cost includes the allocable part of the production overhead, based on normal capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price during the ordinary course of business, after deduction of the estimated completion costs and the estimated costs required to execute the sale.

Long-term inventory is inventory the Company expects to realize in a period of more than the upcoming 12 months.

Capitalization of Borrowing Costs

The costs of specific and non-specific borrowing are capitalized to qualified assets during the period required for completion and construction until they are ready for their intended use. Non-specific borrowing costs were capitalized in the same manner to the investment in qualified assets or to the part thereof that was not financed by specific borrowing, using an interest rate that is the weighted-average of the cost rates for those borrowing sources, the cost of which was not capitalized specifically. Other borrowing costs are recorded in profit and loss as incurred.

Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets

A financial asset not presented at fair value through profit or loss is tested for impairment when objective evidence exists indicating that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be reliably estimated.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Impairment (cont’d)

Non-derivative financial assets (cont’d)

The Group assesses evidence of impairment of trade receivables at both individual asset and collective levels. Trade receivables that are individually significant are reviewed specifically for impairment. These trade receivables for which no specific impairment has been identified are grouped together and then collectively assessed for any impairment that has occurred and has not yet been identified. Regarding trade receivables that are not individually significant, collective testing for impairment is carried out by grouping them in accordance with similar risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recorded in profit or loss.

Reversal of impairment loss

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event that occurred after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost the reversal is recognized in profit or loss.

Non-financial assets

Timing of impairment testing

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there are indications of impairment. If such indications exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. Once a year and on the same date, or more frequently if there are indications of impairment, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit that contains goodwill, or intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or are unavailable for use.

Determining cash-generating units

For purposes of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (“cash-generating unit”).

Measurement of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks attributed to the asset or cash-generating unit, for which the estimated future cash flows expected to derive from the asset or cash-generating unit were not adjusted.

Allocation of goodwill to cash-generating units

Subject to an operating segment ceiling test (before the aggregation of similar segments), for purposes of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which the goodwill impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. In cases where goodwill is not monitored for internal reporting purposes, it is allocated to operating segments (before the aggregation of similar segments) and not to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) lower in level than an operating segment.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to cash-generating units, including those existing in the Group before the business combination, that are expected to benefit from synergies of the combination.

Impairment (cont’d)

Non-financial assets (cont’d)

Recognition of impairment loss

Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount and such losses are recognized in profit and loss. Regarding cash-generating units that include goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit, after gross-up of the goodwill, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to these units and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit, on a pro rata basis.

Reversal of impairment loss

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, for which impairment losses were recognized in prior periods, at every reporting date an examination is made as to whether there are indications that the losses have decreased or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Investments in associates and joint ventures

An investment in an associates and a joint venture is tested for impairment when objective evidence indicates there has been a decline in value.

Goodwill that constitutes part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associated company or joint venture is not recognized as a separate asset and, therefore, is not tested for impairment separately.

If objective evidence indicates that the value of the investment may have been impaired, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the investment, which is the greater of its value in use and its net selling price. In assessing value in use of an investment in an associated company or joint venture, the Group either estimates its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows that are expected to be generated by the associate or joint venture, including cash flows from operations of the associate or joint venture and the consideration from the final realization of the investment, or estimates the present value of the estimated future cash flows that are expected to be derived from dividends that will be received and from the final disposal.

Employee Benefits

Post-employment benefits

The Group has a number of post-employment benefit plans. The plans are generally funded by deposits with insurance companies or in funds managed by a trustee, and they are classified either as defined contribution plans or as defined benefit plans.

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.

Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation, in respect of defined benefit plans for post-employment benefits, is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the future amount of the benefit to which an employee will be entitled as compensation for his services during the current and past periods. This benefit is presented according to present value after deducting the fair value of the plan assets. The Group determines the net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) in respect of a defined benefit by multiplying the net liability (asset) in respect of a defined benefit by the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation as they were determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period.

The discount rate is determined according to the yield as of the date of the report on high-quality, CPI-linked corporate debentures, which are denominated in NIS and the maturity dates of which approximate the terms of the Group’s obligation. The calculations are performed by a licensed actuary using the “projected unit credit method”.

When on the basis of the calculations a net asset is created for the Group, the asset is not recognized as an asset of the Group, since the Group is not entitled to refunds or a reduction in future deposits.

Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability (assets) includes actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest). Remeasurements are recognized immediately, directly in retained earnings through other comprehensive income.

Interest costs on a defined benefit obligation and interest income on plan assets that were recognized in profit or loss are presented under financing income and expenses, respectively.

Employee Benefits (cont’d)

Other long-term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation for long-term employee benefits, which are not attributable to post-employment benefit plans, is for the amount of the future benefit to which employees are entitled for services that were provided during the current and prior periods. The amount of these benefits is discounted to its present value and the fair value of the assets related to these obligations is deducted therefrom. The discount rate is determined according to the yield as of the date of the report on high-quality, CPI-linked corporate debentures, which are denominated in NIS and the maturity dates of which approximate the terms of the Group’s obligation. The calculations use the “projected unit credit method” method. Actuarial gains and losses are recorded in income and loss in the period in which they arise.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits to employees are recognized as an expense when the Group has clearly undertaken, with no real chance of cancellation, to terminate employees before they reach the customary retirement age according to a formal, detailed plan. The benefits given to employees upon voluntary retirement are charged when the Group proposes a plan to the employees encouraging voluntary retirement, it is expected that the proposal will be accepted and the number of employees that will accept the proposal can be reliably estimated. If the benefits are payable more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted to their present value. The discount rate used is the yield on the reporting date on highly-rated corporate debentures denominated in the same currency, that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligation.

Short-term benefits

Obligations for short-term employee benefits are measured on a non-discounted basis, and the expense is recorded when the related service is provided. A provision for short-term employee benefits in respect of cash bonuses is recognized in the amount expected to be paid where the Group has a current legal or constructive obligation to pay the said amount for services provided by the employee in the past and the amount can be estimated reliably.

Classification of employee benefits for measurement purposes as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits is determined based on the Company’s forecast with respect to full settlement of the benefits.

Share-based payment transactions

The fair value on the date of grant of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as a salary expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period wherein unconditional entitlement to the awards is obtained. The amount recognized as an expense in respect of share-based payment awards that are conditional upon meeting service and non-market performance conditions is adjusted to reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

The Group recognizes an indemnification asset if, and only if, it is virtually certain that the indemnification will be received if the Group settles the obligation. The amount recognized in respect of the indemnification does not exceed the amount of the provision.

Legal claims

A provision for claims is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation and it is more likely than not that the Group will be required to use its economic resources to settle the obligation and the amount of obligation can be reliably estimated. Where the impact of the time value is material, the provision is measured at its present value.

Revenues

(1)

Sale of goods

Revenues from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, discounts and commercial and quantity discounts. Where the credit period is short and constitutes the accepted credit in the industry, the future consideration is not discounted.

In cases where the credit period granted by the group exceeds the accepted credit period in the industry, the Group recognizes the future consideration at its present value, calculated using the credit risk rate of the customer. The difference between the fair value and the stated value of the proceeds is recognized as interest income over the credit period.

The Group recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards from ownership of the products are transferred to the buyer, receipt of the proceeds is probable, it is possible to reliably estimate the future returns, the costs that were incurred or will be incurred for the transaction can be reliably estimated, management has no ongoing involvement in the products sold and the revenue can be reliably estimated.

If it is expected that a discount will be granted and its amount can be measured reliably, the discount is deducted from the revenue from sale of the goods.

Discounts to customers that are conditional upon the customers’ compliance with certain targets, such as minimal annual purchases, are included in the financial statements as a deduction from revenue, in proportion to the rate of compliance with the targets, only when it is probable that the targets will be achieved and the amount of the discount can be reasonably determined.

The timing of transferring the risks and rewards changes according to the specific terms of the sale contract. Regarding sales of products in Israel, transfer of the risks and rewards generally exists when the products arrive at the customer’s warehouse, although regarding certain international shipments the transfer occurs when the products are loaded on the shipper’s transport vehicles.

Revenues (cont’d)

(2)

Commissions

When the Group acts as an agent and not as a primary supplier, the revenue is recognized in the amount of the net commission.

Financing Income and Expenses

Financing income includes interest income on funds invested, dividend income, changes in the fair value of financial assets presented at fair value through profit or loss, exchange rate gains and gains on hedging instruments recognized in profit or loss. Interest income is recognized as it is accrued, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized when the Group is given the right to receive the payment.

Financing expenses include interest on loans received, changes in the time value of provisions, changes in the fair value of contingent considerations from a business combination, changes in the fair value of financial assets presented at fair value through profit or loss, impairment losses on financial assets (other than losses on trade receivables that are presented as part of general and administrative expenses) and losses from hedging instruments recognized in profit or loss. Credit costs, which are not capitalized to qualifying assets, are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Exchange rate gains and losses in respect of financial assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis.

Results of derivatives transactions which are not used for hedging are reported in net amounts.

Income Taxes Expense

Taxes on income include current and deferred taxes. Current tax and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to a business combination, or are recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income to the extent they relate to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current taxes

Current tax is the amount of tax expected to be paid (or received) on the taxable income for the year, calculated using the applicable tax rates based on the laws enacted or substantively enacted as of the date of the report. Current taxes also include taxes in respect of prior years.

Offset of current tax assets and liabilities

The Group offsets current tax assets and liabilities if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and intends either to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Income Taxes Expense (cont’d)

Uncertain tax positions

A provision for uncertain tax positions, including additional tax and interest expenses, is recognized when it is more probable than not that the Group will have to use its economic resources to settle the obligation.

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. The Group does not recognize deferred taxes for the following temporary differences:

●

The initial recognition of goodwill;

●

The initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable income; and

●

Differences deriving from investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates, to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future, either by way of selling the investment or by way of distributing dividends in respect of the investment.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates expected to apply to the temporary differences when they are utilized, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized in respect of tax loss carryforwards, tax benefits and deductible temporary differences, where it is expected that in the future there will be taxable income against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at every reporting date and to the extent it is not expected that the related tax benefits will be realized, they are reduced.

Deferred tax assets that were not recognized are reevaluated at each reporting date and recognized if it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized.

When calculating the deferred taxes, taxes that would have applied in the event of realizing investments in Subsidiaries were not taken into account since it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments and not realize them.

Offset of deferred tax assets and liabilities

The Group offsets deferred tax assets and liabilities if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to the same taxable income taxed by the same tax authority for the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities, where they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be settled concurrently.

Additional tax on dividend distribution

The Group may be required to pay additional tax in case of distribution of dividends by the Group companies. This additional tax was not included in the financial statements, since the policy of the Group is not to distribute a dividend which creates an additional tax liability for the recipient company in the foreseeable future.

Inter-company transactions

Deferred tax in respect of inter-company transactions in the consolidated financial statements is recorded according to the tax rate applicable to the procuring company.

Government Grants

Grants received from the Chief Scientist in respect of research and development projects are treated as forgivable loans, according to IAS 20. Grants received from the Chief Scientist are recognized as liabilities according to their fair value on the date the grants were received unless it was reasonably certain on that date that the amount received will not be repaid. The amount of the liability is reexamined in each period and any changes in the present value of the cash flows, discounted at the original interest rate of the grant, are recognized in the profit or loss. The difference between the amount received and the fair value on the date the grant is received, is recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are presented as a deduction from the related assets and are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that meets the following three conditions:

It engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions between the Group companies;

Its operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to make decisions regarding resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance; and

Separate financial information is available in respect thereof.

Environmental Costs

The current costs for operation and maintenance of facilities for the prevention of environmental pollution and projected provisions, for environmental rehabilitation costs stemming from current or past activities, are recorded in the statement of income. The costs of constructing facilities to prevent environmental pollution, which increase the life expectancy of a facility or its efficiency, or decrease or prevent the environmental pollution, are added to the cost of the fixed assets and are depreciated according to the Group’s regular depreciation policies.

New standards

(A)

IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments

A final version of the standard, which includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, and a new model for measuring impairment of financial assets. This guidance has been added to the chapter dealing with general hedge accounting requirements issued in 2013.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

New standards (cont’d)

(A)

IFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments (cont’d)

Classification and measurement

In accordance with the standard, there are three principal categories for measuring financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through profit and loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. The basis of classification for debt instruments is the entity’s business model for managing financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments will be measured at fair value through profit and loss (unless the entity elected at initial recognition to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income).

The standard requires that changes in fair value of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss that are attributable to changes in its credit risk, should usually be recognized in other comprehensive income.

Hedge accounting – general

In accordance with the standard, additional hedging strategies that are used for risk management will qualify for hedge accounting. The standard replaces the present 80%-125% test for determining hedge effectiveness, with the requirement that there be an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, without stipulating a quantitative threshold. In addition, the standard introduces new models that are alternatives to hedge accounting as regards credit exposures and certain contracts outside the scope of the standard and sets new principles for accounting for hedging instruments. In addition, the standard provides new disclosure requirements.

Impairment of financial assets

The standard includes a new ‘expected credit loss’ model for calculating impairment. For most of the financial debt instruments, the new model presents a dual measurement approach for impairment: if the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, an impairment provision will be recorded in the amount of the expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the twelve months after the reporting date. If the credit risk has increased significantly, in most cases the impairment provision will increase and be recorded at the level of lifetime expected credit losses of the financial asset.

The standard is to be applied for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption being permissible. The standard is to be applied retrospectively, except for certain exemptions.

The Group has not yet commenced examining the effects of adoption of the standard on the financial statements.

(B)

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The standard replaces the current guidance regarding recognition of revenues and presents a new model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The standard provides two approaches for recognizing revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model includes five steps for analyzing transactions so as to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. Furthermore, the standard provides new and more extensive disclosure requirements than those presently existing.

New standards (cont’d)

(B)

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont’d)

The standard is to be applied for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, and earlier application is permissible. The standard includes various alternative transitional provisions, so that companies may choose between one of the following alternatives at initial application: full retrospective application, full retrospective application with practical expedients, or application as from the mandatory effective date, with an adjustment to the balance of retained earnings at that date in respect of transactions that are not yet complete.

The Group has not yet commenced examining the effects of adopting the standard on the financial statements.

(C)

IFRS 16 – Leases

The standard replaces International Accounting Standard 17 – Leases (IAS 17) and its related interpretations. The standard's instructions annul the existing requirement from lessees to classify leases

as operating or finance leases. Instead of this, for lessees, the new standard presents a unified model for the accounting treatment of all leases according to which the lessee has to recognize an asset and liability in respect of the lease in its financial statements. Similarly, the standard determines new and expanded disclosure requirements from those required at present.

The standard will become effective for annual periods as of January 1, 2019, with the possibility of early adoption, so long as the company has also early adopted IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with

customers. The standard includes a number of alternatives for the implementation of transitional provisions, so that companies can choose one of the following alternatives at the implementation date: full retrospective implementation or implementation from the effective date while adjusting the balance of retained earnings at that date.

The Group has not yet commenced examining the effects of adopting the amendments on the financial statements.

In September 2004, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a securitization transaction with Rabobank International for sale of customer receivables (hereinafter – “the Securitization Program” and/or “the Securitization Transaction”).

Pursuant to the Securitization Program ,the companies will sell their customer receivables, in various different currencies, to a foreign company that was set up for this purpose and that is not owned by the Adama Agricultural Solutions Group (hereinafter – “the Acquiring Company”). Acquisition of the customer receivables by the Acquiring Company is financed by a U.S. company, Nieuw Amsterdam Receivables Corporation for the Rabobank International Group.

The customer receivables included as part of the Securitization Transaction are customer receivables that meet the criteria provided in the agreement.

Every year the credit facility is re-approved in accordance with the Securitization Program. As at the date of the report, the Securitization Agreement was approved up to July 31, 2016. Subsequent to the date of the report the credit facility was re-approved for an additional year.

The maximum scope of the securitization is adjusted for the seasonal changes in the scope of the Company’s activities, as follows: during the months April through June the maximum scope of the securitization is $350 million, during the months July through September the maximum scope of the securitization is $300 million and during the months October through March the maximum scope of the securitization is $250 million. The proceeds received from those customers whose debts were sold are used for acquisition of new customer receivables.

Notes to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015

Note 4 - Trade Receivables (cont’d)

The price at which the customer receivables are sold is the amount of the debt sold less a discount calculated based on, among other things, the expected length of the period between the date of sale of the customer receivable and its anticipated repayment date.

In the month following acquisition of the debt, the Acquiring Company pays in cash most the price of the debt while the remainder is recorded as a subordinated liability that is paid after collection of the debt sold. If the customer does not pay its debt on the anticipated repayment date, the Company bears interest up to the earlier of the date on which the debt is actually repaid or the date on which the Acquiring Company is indemnified by the insurance company (the actual costs are not significant and are not expected to be significant).

The Acquiring Company will not have a right of recourse to the Company in respect of the amounts paid in cash, except regarding debts with respect to which a commercial dispute arises between the companies and their customers, that is, a dispute the source of which is a claim of non-fulfillment of an obligation of the seller in the supply agreement covering the product, such as: a failure to supply the correct product, a defect in the product, delinquency in the supply date, and the like.

Pursuant to the Receivables Servicing Agreement, the Group companies handle collection of the customer receivables as part of the Securitization Transaction for the benefit of the Acquiring Company.

The loss from sale of the customer receivables is recorded at the time of sale in the statement of income in the “financing expenses” category.

As part of the agreement, the Company committed to comply with certain financial covenants, mainly the ratio of the liabilities to equity and profit ratios (see Note 20E).

Up to March 26, 2015, the companies bore the full amount of the losses incurred by the Acquiring Company as a result of non-payments of the customer receivables included as part of the Securitization Program, up to the amount of the total balance of the price of the unpaid debt. In addition, the Company undertook with an insurance company in an insurance policy for the benefit of the Acquiring Company insuring the customer receivables included in the Securitization Program.

On March 26, 2015, the Securitization Agreement was amended. The main changes are as follows:

–

The Acquiring Company bears 90% of the credit risk in respect of the customers whose debts were sold.

–

The Acquiring Company appointed a policy manager who will manage for it the credit risk involved with the customer receivables sold, including an undertaking with an insurance company.

–

Increase of the proceeds received in cash in the month following the date of sale of the customer receivables.

Note 4 - Trade Receivables (cont’d)

The accounting treatment of sale of the customer receivables included as part of the Securitization Program is: the Company continues to recognize the customer receivables included in the Securitization Program based on the extent of its continuing involvement therein.

Up to March 2015, the Acquiring Company is consolidated in the Group’s financial statements since control over the Acquiring Company existed.

Commencing from March 2015, as a result of amendment of the Securitization Agreement, as described above, the Company ceased controlling the Acquiring Company, therefore is not consolidated in the company’s reports since that date.

In respect of the part of the trade receivables included in the securitization Program with respect to which cash proceeds were not yet received, however regarding which the Company has transferred the credit risk, a subordinated note is recorded.

Corporate Tax Rates

Set forth below are the tax rates in Israel relevant to the Company for 2013–2015:

2015 – 26.5%

2014 – 26.5%

2013 – 25%

On January 4, 2016, the Knesset plenum passed the Law for amending the Income Tax Ordinance (Number 216) - 2016 which determined, inter alia, that the corporate tax rate would be reduced by 1.5% to a rate of 25% as from 2016 onwards.

If the law had been substantively enacted before December 31, 2015, the effect of the change on the financial statements as at December 31, 2015 was insignificant.

(2)

In January 12, 2012 Amendment 188 to the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) - 1961 (hereinafter - “the Ordinance”) was published in the Official Gazette. The amendment amended Section 87A to the Ordinance, and provides a temporary order whereby Accounting Standard No. 29 “Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)” that was issued by the Israel Accounting Standards Board shall not apply when determining the taxable income for the tax years 2007-2011 even if this standard was applied when preparing the financial statements (hereinafter - “the Temporary Order”). On July 31, 2014 Amendment 202 to the Ordinance was issued, by which the Temporary Order was extended to the 2012 and 2013 tax years. Taxable income for 2014,was also calculated by the Temporary Order above.

Note 17 - Income Taxes (cont'd)

Benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments

Industrial enterprises of companies in Israel were granted “Approved Enterprise” or “Beneficiary Enterprise” status under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959. Part of the income deriving from the “Approved Enterprise” or “Beneficiary Enterprise” during the benefit period is subject to tax at the rate of up to 25% (the total benefit period is seven years and in certain circumstances up to ten years, but may not exceed 14 years from the date of the Letter of Approval and 12 years from the date the “Approved Enterprise” commenced operations or not more than 12 years from the election year for a “Benefitted Enterprise”).

Other industrial enterprises of subsidiaries in Israel are entitled to a tax exemption for periods of between two and six years and a tax rate of up to 25% for the remainder of the benefit period. Should a dividend be distributed from the tax-exempt income, the subsidiaries will be liable for tax on the income from which the dividend was distributed at a rate of 25%.

The aforementioned benefits are conditional upon compliance with certain conditions specified in the Law, related Regulations and the Letters of Approval, in accordance with which the investments in the Approved Enterprises were made. Failure to meet these conditions may lead to cancellation of the benefits, in whole or in part, and to repayment of any benefits already received, together with interest. Management believes that the companies are in compliance with these conditions.

Amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959

On December 29, 2010 the Knesset approved the Economic Policy Law for 2011-2012, which includes an amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments – 1959 (hereinafter – “the Amendment”). The Amendment is effective from January 1, 2011 and its provisions apply to preferred income derived or accrued in 2011 and thereafter by a preferred company, per the definition of these terms in the Amendment. Companies can choose not to be included in the scope of the amendment to the Encouragement Law and to stay in the scope of the law before its amendment until the end of the benefits period of its approved/beneficiary enterprise.

The Amendment provides that only companies in Development Area A will be entitled to the grants track and that they will be entitled to receive benefits under this track and under the tax benefits track at the same time. In addition, the existing tax benefit tracks were eliminated (the tax exempt track, the “Ireland” track and the “Strategic” track) and two new tax tracks were introduced in their place, a preferred enterprise and a special preferred enterprise, which mainly provide a uniform and reduced tax rate for all the company’s income entitled to benefits. On August 5, 2013 the Knesset passed the Law for Changes in National Priorities (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2013 and 2014) – 2013, which raised the tax rates on preferred income as from the 2014 tax year as follows: 9% for Development Area A and 16% for the rest of the country (compared with 7% for Development Area A and 12.5% for the rest of the country in 2013). Furthermore, an enterprise that meets the definition of a special preferred enterprise is entitled to benefits for a period of 10 consecutive years and a reduced tax rate of 5% in Development Area A and of 8% in the rest of the country.

The Amendment also provides that no tax will apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to a shareholder that is an Israeli resident company. A tax rate of 20% shall apply to a dividend distributed out of preferred income to an individual shareholder or foreign resident, subject to double taxation prevention treaties.

Amendment to the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (cont'd)

Furthermore, the Amendment provides relief with respect to the non-payment of tax on a dividend received by an Israeli resident company from profits of an approved/alternative/beneficiary enterprise that accrued in the benefits period according to the version of the law before its amendment, if the company distributing the dividend notifies the tax authorities by June 30, 2015 that it is applying the provisions of the Amendment and the dividend is distributed after the date of the notice (hereinafter- “the relief”). Furthermore, a distribution from profits of the exempt enterprise will be subject to tax by the distributing company.

As of the report date, the companies in Israel adopted the amendment to the Law and, accordingly, the deferred taxes that are expected to be realized were recorded based on the tax rates in the amended law.

Benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969

Under the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes) 1969, the Company is an Industrial Holding Company and some of the subsidiaries in Israel are “Industrial Companies”. The main benefit under this law is the filing of consolidated income tax returns (the Company files a consolidated income tax return with Adama Makhteshim) and amortization of know-how over 8 years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities (cont’d)

(1)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized (cont’d)

The deferred tax asset balance for tax loss carryforwards is mainly from a subsidiary in Brazil and subsidiaries in Israel. Deferred tax assets were recognized as management considered it probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized or in the amount of the deferred tax liabilities.

According to the existing tax laws in the countries in which deferred taxes were recognized, the utilization period of deductible temporary differences and tax losses carryforward does not expire. However, Brazil does limit the amount of tax loss carryforwards that may be offset every year (30% of annual taxable income).

The main supporting evidence used by the Company for the purpose of recognizing a tax asset is based on the characteristics of the industry in which the company operates, including: the agrochemicals industry is characterized by stability and established products based on traditional chemistry, not influenced by significant technological developments.

Brazil is one of the Group's main growth engines, due mainly to the vacant cultivation areas and because Brazil is a key factor in the production of major agricultural crops, in domestic consumption and in global exporting.

Final tax assessments

Adama Agan, Adama Makhteshim, Lycored and the Company have received final tax assessments up to and including the year ended 2011.

Losses and deductions available for carryforward to future years

The amount of the carryforward of unused tax losses at the balance sheet date is $489.6 million.

The Group has created a deferred tax asset of approximately $37 million for carryforward of unused tax losses, based on management's assessment that it is probable that these losses will be realized in future years.

Additional Information

Regarding tax claims against a subsidiary in Brazil – see Note 19D(1).

Note 18 - Employee Benefits

Employee benefits include post-employment benefits, other long-term benefits, short-term benefits, termination benefits and share-based payments. Likewise, the Company has a defined contribution plan for some of its employees, which is subject to Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, 1963.

Severance pay and retirement grants in Israel

The Company and its subsidiaries in Israel make regular deposits with “Nativ” (the Pension Fund of the Workers and Employees of the Histadrut Ltd.) and insurance companies, conferring pension rights or severance pay upon reaching retirement age. Amounts deposited in the pension fund are not included in the balance sheet because they are not managed or controlled by the companies.

Employees dismissed before reaching retirement age, to which Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law does not apply, will be eligible for severance benefits, calculated on the basis of their most recent salary. In cases that the amounts accumulated in the pension fund are not sufficient to cover the calculated severance benefits, the companies will cover the deficit.

In addition to their above mentioned pension rights, most employees are entitled to receive retirement grants at the rate of 2.33% of their salary at retirement age. The accrual in the balance sheet covers the companies’ obligations to pay retirement grants as mentioned above, as well as the full projected liability to pay severance benefits to some of their employees for the period prior to the date on which these employees joined the pension plan, during which period no deposits had been made in the fund in the name of the employee.

In accordance with the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Research and Development in Industry, 1984, subsidiaries received grants from the State of Israel in respect of the research and development expenses they incurred on projects approved by the Israeli Industrial Research and Development Administration. Receipt of the grants is conditional upon compliance with the terms of the letter of approval which includes, among other things, the payment of royalties to the State of Israel at rates of between 2%–3.5% of the sales of the products, up to the amount of the State’s participation.

The balance of the State’s participation in the said companies’ research and development programs (net of royalties paid in respect thereof), after deduction of unsuccessful research projects, amounts to approximately $1.6 million.

Environmental protection

The manufacturing processes of the Company, and the products it produces and markets, entail environmental risks that impact the environment. The Company invests substantial resources in order to comply with the applicable environmental laws and attempts to prevent or minimize the environmental risks that could occur as a result of its activities. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, at the date of the report, none of its applicable permits and licenses with respect to environmental issues have been revoked. The Company has insurance coverage for sudden, unexpected environmental contamination in Israel and abroad. The Company estimates, based on the opinion of its insurance consultants, that the extent of its insurance coverage for said events is reasonable.

Adama Agan’s in Ashdod plant has been required by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Water Commission to perform various land surveys and surveys of ground water monitoring wells. Upon submission of the surveys to the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Water Commission, Adama Agan was requested to submit a plan for carrying out surveys of risks according to a methodology that was determined by Ministry of Environmental Protection..Adama Agan also submitted to the Water Commission a detailed plan for treating the ground water that was accepted in principle by the Water Commission.

Adama Makhteshim’s plant in Be’er Sheva has been required by the Ministry of Environmental Protection to perform an historical land survey and examination of a sample of land gases. Up to now, the plant has not been requested by any of the authorities to take any additional action in this regard.

As part of the integrated environmental regulation process, Adama Makhteshim’s plant in Naot Hovav has been required to submit an historical ground survey. This survey was submitted to the Ministry of Environmental Protection in early 2015. At this stage, the Company is unable to estimate whether additional requirements will be imposed on it in connection with surveys or treatment of grounds or ground water in its plants, the nature thereof, and if such requirements will have a significant impact on the Company.

Claims against subsidiaries

In the ordinary course of business, legal claims were filed against subsidiaries, including lawsuits, regarding claims for patent infringement. Inter alia, from time to time, the Company, similar to other companies operating in the market of products for plant protection is exposed to class actions for large amounts, which it must defend against while incurring considerable costs, even if these claims, from the start, have no basis. In the estimation of the Company’s management, based, inter alia, on opinions of its legal counsel regarding the prospects of the proceedings, the financial statements include appropriate provisions where necessary to cover the exposure resulting from the claims. The main claims that were filed against the subsidiaries are detailed below:

Administrative proceedings and fiscal claims are pending against a subsidiary in Brazil (hereinafter – “Adama Brazil”), all of which deal with demands for payment of various taxes, with respect to which the Company has not recorded a provision in the financial statements. The amount of these demands, which in the estimation of Adama Brazil, based on its legal advisors, the chances that they will prevail are lower than the chances that they will be rejected, totals about $15.3 million.

Aside from that detailed above, various claims have been filed against Group companies in courts throughout the world, in immaterial amounts, for causes of action involving mainly employee-employer relations and various civil claims, for which the Company did not record a provision in the financial statements. The total of the claims that in the estimation of Company management, based on its legal advisors, the chances of their succeeding is lower than the chances they will be rejected, amounts to about $5.5 million. In addition, tax demands were filed against the Company, in the amount of about $10.5 million, which in the estimation of the Group companies, based on their legal advisors, the chances they will prevail are lower than the chances they will be rejected. Furthermore, claims were filed for product liability damages, for which the Company has appropriate insurance coverage, such that the Company’s exposure in respect thereof is limited to the amount its self-participation requirement or the amount thereof does not exceed the self-participation amount.

Legal claims ended

On July 24, 2011, a financial claim and a request for approval of the claim as a class action were received in the offices of Adama Agan, which were filed by two residents of Moshav Nir Galim and a resident of Ashdod alleging damages caused due to odor and noise nuisances. To the extent the claim will be approved as a class action, the plaintiffs assess that the amount claimed from Adama Agan is about NIS 642 million. On December 8, 2013, a decision was rendered by the District Court in Be’er Sheva rejecting the request for certification of the claim as a class action and charging the plaintiffs for expenses. On February 10, 2014, the plaintiffs filed an appeal of the said court decision to the Supreme Court. On February 29, 2016, the appeal was fully rejected.

Note 20 - Liens and Financial Covenants

Liabilities to banks secured by liens:

The Company and its subsidiaries have made commitments to banks not to register liens on their assets in favor of other parties, except for specific liens in the amount of about $2 million, for securing liabilities in the amount of about $600 thousand, to the benefit of the party financing the acquisition on certain terms, except for creation of liens related to receipt of investment grants, as stated in Paragraph B. below, and except for a lien on trade receivables within the scope of the securitization agreement – see Note 4.

In order to secure fulfilment of the conditions of investment grants received (see Note 9E), the Company’s subsidiaries have registered floating liens in unlimited amounts on all of their assets.

C. (1) The main financial covenants included in the financing agreements as of December 31, 2015, are as follows:

(a)

The ratio of the interest-bearing financial liabilities (net debt) to the Company’s equity shall not exceed 1.25. As of December 31, 2015 the ratio was 0.8.

(b)

The ratio of the interest-bearing financial liabilities (net debt) to earnings before financing expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for 12 months shall not exceed a ratio 4. As of December 31, 2015, the ratio of the Company’s interest-bearing financial liabilities (net debt) to the EBITDA for 12 months was 2.5.

(c)

The Company’s equity will not be less than $1.22 billion. As of December 31, 2015, the Company's equity amounted to $1,567 million.

(d)

The financing documents of one of the banks further require that the retained earnings, according to the financial statements on every date, shall not be less than $700 million. As of December 31, 2015, the retained earnings were $1,126 million.

D. (1) Pursuant to agreements the Company reached with the bank with which it signed the securitization agreement and with the banks to which the Company is required to maintain financial covenants by virtue of the financing agreements, the balance of the debt under the securitization agreement is not included as part of the financial liabilities for purposes of examining the financial covenants.

(2)

The financing agreements also include sections providing that a transfer of control (as this term is defined in the relevant financing agreements), in the Company and/or in the subsidiaries Adama Makhteshim and Adama Agan that is made without obtaining the advance written consents of the relevant banks, will constitute grounds for calling the full amount of the relevant liabilities for immediate repayment. The Company received the consents of the relevant banks for transfer of control, in accordance with the merger transaction that closed on October 17, 2011 with a company from the China National Agrochemical Corporation.

The securitization agreement of trade receivables of the Company and its subsidiaries (including the updates thereto) include the Company’s commitment to maintain financial ratios, of which the key commitments are below:

* The exercise price is 3.12 options exercisable for one share.

The fair value of the options granted, as stated above, was estimated using a binomial model for pricing options.

The model’s assumptions include the share price on the measurement date, the exercise price of the instrument, the early exercise condition (on the basis of past experience and the general behavior of the holders of the options), anticipated volatility on the basis of historic information of similar companies and the risk-free interest rate (on the basis of debentures of the U.S. government). Service conditions that are not market conditions are not taken into account when determining the fair value.

Based on generally accepted accounting principles, the cost of the benefit in respect of the options is calculated only once, based on their economic value on the grant date, is charged to expense over the period up to the vesting date and does not change and is not impacted by changes in the share price or actual exercise ability.

The total salaries expenses in respect of share-based payments recorded as salaries expenses in 2015 amounts to $8,998 thousand (in 2014 - $7,984 thousand).

Buy-Back of Shares

Under the conditions precedent for the closing of the merger with CC (hereinafter – “the merger transaction”), the Company’s Board of Directors resolved on August 7, 2011, to purchase 1,415,246 shares of the Company that were held by subsidiaries, which constituted all of the Company’s shares held by subsidiaries, for consideration that is immaterial.

Transactions with related and interested parties

Following the closing of the merger transaction in October 2011, the Company is 60%-held by CNAC (through an indirect subsidiary) and 40%-held by Koor Industries Ltd. (“Koor”).

Negligible transactions

Pursuant to Israeli Regulation 41(a)(6) to the Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements), 2010 (hereinafter - “the Financial Statements Regulations”), on March 10, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted for the first time guidelines and rules, as detailed below, for classification of a transaction of the Company or its subsidiary (hereinafter – “the Group”) with an interested party therein as a negligible transaction.

Determination of the said benchmarks is made together with determination of transaction that might constitute negligible transactions and, therefore, that are approved in advance every year, as detailed below.

These updated rules and guidelines, which are updated from time to time, also serve to evaluate the scope of the disclosure in the periodic report and in the prospectus (including in a shelf offering) related to a transaction of the Company, a corporation it controls and its related company, with a controlling shareholder, or the controlling shareholder has a personal interest in its approval, as provided in Regulation 22 of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 (hereinafter - “the Periodic Reports Regulations”) and in Regulation 54 of the Securities Regulations (Details of Prospectus and Draft Prospectus – Structure and Form), 1969 (hereinafter - “the Prospectus Details Regulations”), and to evaluate the need to file an immediate report for such a transaction of the Company, as provided in Regulation 37A(6) of the Periodic Reports Regulations (Types of Transactions Provided in the Financial Statement Regulations and in the Prospectus Details Regulations mentioned previously, (hereinafter – “Interested Party Transactions”).

It is clarified that pursuant to the Company’s position, transactions executed by the Company or its Group companies with companies controlled by the government of China, which are not companies in the China National Chemical Corporation (hereinafter – “Chem China” or “CC”) group, that are executed in the ordinary and ongoing course of the Company’s business, do not constitute transactions in which the Company’s controlling shareholder has a personal interest.

Types of transactions that might constitute negligible transactions

During the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries, especially in view of the multi-branched holding structure of the Group and its diverse activities, execute or could execute interested party transactions, mainly the purchase of services (such as logistical services, shipping services, execution contractor services in the area of parking and infrastructures, travel and aviation services, operating leases of vehicles, communication services, tourism, investment portfolio management,), the purchase or rental of goods, movable property or real estate (such as, insurance products, office equipment, packagings, fuels, and food products), marketing transactions, sales, acquisition and distribution of crop protection products, raw materials, active materials and formulations used as part of the production process of the Company’s products in the area of its activities, signing agreements with suppliers for development and production of materials and products in the areas of the Company’s activities etc. For the most part, these are transactions that are not significant for the Group from a quantitative standpoint or from a qualitative perspective and they are generally executed on terms similar to transactions executed with third parties.

Quantitative and qualitative benchmarks for classification as a negligible transaction

An interested party transaction that is not an exceptional transaction (as the term is defined in the Companies Law) shall be deemed a negligible transaction if it meets the following two-stage test: (1) qualitative test – if from the standpoint of the nature, substance and influence on the Company, is not material to the Company and there are no special considerations arising from the range of circumstances of the matter, testifying to the materiality of the transaction; (2) quantitative test (which was updated by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 7, 2013) – (a) for immediate report purposes – if the ratio between the total amount of the interested party transaction to the relevant criteria is less than 0.5% and its amount does not exceed $1.25 million (however, with respect to acquisitions/sales of products, raw materials, active materials and formulas in the area of the Company’s activities, which are executed in the ordinary course of business from/to companies directly or indirectly controlled by Chem China, the Company will publish an Immediate Report if the ratio of the aggregate transaction to the relevant benchmark is less than 0.5%, and the scope thereof does not exceed $3 million), as provided below; (b) for periodic report purposes – if the ratio between the total amount of transactions of that type (in annual terms) (“cumulative transaction”) and the relevant criteria in the annual report is less than 0.5%, and their total does not exceed $1.25 million (in order to remove doubt – the aggregate transactions for acquisition/sale of products, raw materials, active materials and formulations will be examined for each supplier/customer separately) (however, with reference to acquisitions/sales of products, raw materials, active materials and formulas in the area of the Company’s activities, which are executed in the ordinary course of business from/to companies directly or indirectly controlled by ChemChina, disclosure will be included in the Periodic Report if the ratio of the aggregate transaction to the relevant benchmark is less than 0.5%, and the scope thereof does not exceed $3 million) as provided below:

In each type of interested party transaction (including cumulative transactions of a certain type) whose classification as a negligible transaction was evaluated, the said ratio will be calculated against one or more of the relevant criteria of the certain transaction, based on the last reviewed or audited consolidated financial statements of the Company: (a) in the purchase of a fixed asset (“a non-current asset”) – the amount of the transaction against total assets (in other words, total balance sheet); (b) in sale of a fixed asset (“a non-current asset”) – the gain/loss from the sale against the average annual income (i.e. for four quarters) based on the last 12 quarters for which reviewed or audited financial statements were issued. In this context, the gain/loss from the transaction and the income/loss in each quarter will be calculated at their absolute value: (c) receipt of monetary liability – amount of the transaction against total liabilities in the balance sheet; (d) in the purchase/sale of products, raw materials, active materials, mixtures and formulations (except for fixed assets) or services – amount of the transaction against total revenues from sales or the cost of sales, as applicable, in the last 4 quarters for which reviewed or audited financial statements were issued.

Transactions with related and interested parties (cont’d)

In cases in which, at the Company’s discretion, none of the quantitative criteria mentioned previously are relevant for evaluating the negligibility of an interested party transaction, the transaction will be considered negligible, in accordance with another relative criterion, to be prescribed by the Company (provided that the relevant criterion calculated for the transaction will less than 0.5% and will not exceed $1.25 million). With respect to multi-year transactions, the amount of the transaction for purposes of evaluating negligibility will be calculated on an annual basis.

It is noted that even if an interested party transaction meets the above quantitative test, it will not be deemed negligible if the qualitative considerations testify to its materiality, whether from the standpoint of its impact on the Company or due to the importance of its disclosure to the investing public.

For purposes of filing Immediate Reports, the negligibility of a transaction will be examined on the basis of the specific individual transaction. For purposes of reporting in a Periodic Report, annual financial statements and a prospectus (including shelf offer reports), negligibility will be examined of the aggregate transactions on an annual basis (that is, after aggregating all the interested party transactions of the same type) for the purchase/sale of products, raw materials, active ingredients and and formulations).

If the Company does not have available information that enables an examination of the classification of interested party transactions as negligible transactions, then the cumulative total of all the transactions of that type as a negligible transaction will be deemed a negligible transaction, unless one of the following two conditions are met: (a) the transaction itself, as an individual transaction, is not negligible; or (b) the cumulative total of the transactions is material for the Company.

Separate transactions which are interdependent, so that they are actually part of the same undertaking (for example, negotiating a group of transactions on a consolidated basis) will be examined as a single transaction.

The total transactions classified as negligible by the Company’s investees will be deemed negligible also at the Company level. Transactions of the Company's investees, which have been classified by them as not negligible, will be examined against the relevant criteria at the Company level.

It is clarified that a transaction that is not in the Company’s ordinary course of business, or that is not on market terms, or that may have a significant impact on the Company’s profits, assets or liabilities, will not be classified as a negligible transaction.

Note 29 - Financial Instruments

General

The Group has extensive international operations, and, therefore, it is exposed to credit risks, liquidity risks and market risks (including currency risk, interest risk and other price risk). In order to reduce the exposure to these risks, the Group uses financial derivatives instruments, including forward transactions, swaps and options (hereinafter – “derivatives”).

Transactions in derivatives are undertaken with major financial institutions in and outside of Israel and, therefore, in the opinion of Group Management the credit risk in respect thereof is low.

This note provides information on the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes regarding the measurement and management of the risk. Additional quantitative disclosure is included throughout the consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and monitoring the framework of the Group's risk management policy. The Finance Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring the Group's actual risk management policy. The Chief Financial Officer reports to the Finance Committee on a regular basis regarding these risks.

F-348

Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd.

Notes to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015

Note 29 - Financial Instruments (cont'd)

General (cont’d)

The Group’s risk management policy are established to identify and analyze the risks facing the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and monitoring of the risks and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The risks and methods for managing the risks are reviewed regularly, in order to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group, through training, and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all the employees understand their roles and obligations.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and derives mainly from trade receivables and other receivables as well as from cash and deposits in financial institutions.

Trade and other receivables

The Group’s revenues are derived from a large number of widely dispersed customers in many countries. Customers include multi-national companies and manufacturing companies, as well as distributors, agriculturists, agents and agrochemical manufacturers who purchase the products either as finished goods or as intermediate products for their own requirements.

The Company entered into an agreement for the sale of trade receivables in a securitization transaction. For details – see Note 4.

In April 2014, a two-year agreement with an international insurance company was renewed. The amount of the insurance coverage was fixed at $150 million cumulative per year. The indemnification is limited to about 90% of the debt.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the personal characterization of each customer, and by the demographic characterization of the customer’s base, including the risk of insolvency of the industry and geographic region in which the customer operates. Approximately 1.8% (2014 and 2013 – 1.7%) of the Group’s revenues derive from sales to an individual customer.

Company management has prescribed a credit policy, whereby the Company performs current ongoing credit evaluations of existing and new customers, and every new customer is examined thoroughly regarding the quality of his credit, before offering him the Group’s customary shipping and payment terms. The examination made by the Group includes an outside credit rating, if any, and in many cases, receipt of documents from an insurance company. A credit limit is prescribed for each customer, setting the maximum open amount of the trade receivable balance. These limits are examined annually. Customers that do not meet the Group’s criteria for credit quality may do business with the Group on the basis of a prepayment or against furnishing of appropriate collateral.

Most of the Group’s customers have been doing business with it for many years. In monitoring customer credit risk, the customers were grouped according to a characterization of their credit, based on geographical location, industry, aging of receivables, maturity, and existence of past financial difficulties. Customers defined as “high risk” are classified to the restricted customer list and are supervised by management. In certain countries, mainly, Brazil, customers are required to provide property collaterals (such as agricultural lands and equipment) against execution of the sales, the value of which is examined on a current ongoing basis by the Company. In these countries, in a case of a doubtful debt, the Company records a provision for the amount of the debt less the value of the collaterals provided and acts to realize the collaterals.

Note 29 - Financial Instruments (cont'd)

Credit risk (cont'd)

The Group closely monitors the economic situation in Eastern Europe and south America where necessary it executes transactions to limit its exposure to customers in countries having significantly unstable economies.

The Group recognizes an impairment provision, which reflects its assessment of losses sustained from trade receivables and other receivables and investments. The key elements of this provision are specific losses related to specific significant exposure, (the effect of the additional examination on trade receivables for which no specific impairment was identified is immaterial) and the component of a general loss that is determined for groups of similar assets in countries in which the customer diversification is high and the balance is immaterial. The general loss provision is determined based on historical information regarding payment statistics relating to events that occurred in the past.

Cash and deposits in banks

The Company holds cash and deposits in banks with a high credit rating. These banks are also required to comply with capital adequacy or maintenance of a level of security based on different situations.

Guarantees

The Company’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to investee companies.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure notwithstanding the carrying amount of security.

The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade receivables at the reporting date, according to geographic regions was as follows:

			$ thousands	$ thousands

Israel	3,032	35,361

Balance as of December 31	31,147	35,671

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligation when they come due. The Group's approach to managing its liquidity risk is to assure, to the extent possible, an adequate degree of liquidity for meeting its obligations timely, under ordinary conditions and under pressure conditions, without sustaining unwanted losses or hurting its reputation.

The cash-flow forecast is determined both at the level of the various entities as well as of the consolidated level. The Company examines the current forecasts of its liquidity requirements in order to ascertain that there is sufficient cash for the operating needs, including the amounts required in order to comply with the financial liabilities, while taking strict care that at all times there will be unused credit frameworks so that the Company will not exceed the credit frameworks granted to it and the financial covenants with which it is required to comply with. These forecasts take into consideration matters such as the Company’s plans to use debt for financing its activities, compliance with required financial covenants, compliance with certain liquidity ratios and compliance with external requirements such as laws or regulation.

The surplus cash held by the Group companies, which is not required for financing the current ongoing operations, is invested in short-term interest-bearing investment channels.

Notes to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2015

Note 29 - Financial Instruments (cont’d)

Market risks

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, CPI, interest rates and prices of capital instruments, will affect the Group’s revenues or the value of its holdings in its financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and monitor the exposure to market risks within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

During the ordinary course of business, the Group purchases and sells derivatives and assumes financial liabilities for the purpose of managing market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Finance Committee.

(1)

CPI/Linkage and foreign currency risks

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk from its sales, purchases, expenses and loans denominated in currencies that differ from the Group’s functional currency. The main exposure is in Euro, Brazilian real and in NIS. In addition, there are smaller exposures to various currencies such as the British pound, Polish zloty, Australian dollar and Indian rupee, Argentine peso, Canadian dollar, South African Rand and Ukraine Hryunia.

The Group uses foreign currency derivatives – forward transactions, swaps and currency options – in order to hedge the risk that the Dollar cash flows, which derive from existing assets and liabilities and anticipated sales and costs and projected sales, may be affected by exchange rate fluctuations.

The Group hedged a part of the estimated currency exposure for projected sales and purchases during the subsequent year. Likewise, the Group hedges most of its financial balances denominated in a non-Dollar currency. The Group uses foreign currency derivatives to hedge its currency risk, mostly with maturity dates of less than one year from the reporting date.

The Company has debentures, some of which are linked to the CPI and, therefore, an increase in the CPI, as well as changes in the NIS exchange rate, could cause significant exposure with respect to the Group's functional currency – the U.S. dollar. As of the approval date of the financial statements, the Group had hedged most of its exposure deriving from issuance of the debentures, in options and forward contracts.

Interest rate risks

The Group has exposure to changes in the Libor interest rate on the dollar since the Group has U.S. dollar obligations which bear variable Libor interest. The Company prepares a quarterly summary of exposure to a change in the Libor interest rate. As at the approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not hedged this exposure.

The Group does not enter into commodity contracts for the purpose of meeting the estimated usage and sales needs; except for barter contracts with customers, these contracts are not settled on a net basis.

Financial liabilities	(326,097)	(548,427)
	(250,528)	(487,774)

The financial assets include cash equivalents with relatively low interest due to the current market conditions.

(B)

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Group's fixed-interest assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore, a change in the interest rate as of the balance sheet date would not affect profit or loss, in respect of changes in the value of the assets and liabilities bearing fixed interest.

Note 29 - Financial Instruments (cont’d)

Fair value

The fair value of forward contracts on foreign currency is based on their listed market price, if available. In the absence of market prices, the fair value is estimated based on the discounted difference between the stated forward price in the contract and the current forward price for the residual period until redemption, using an appropriate interest rate.

The fair value of foreign currency options is based on bank quotes. The reasonableness of the quotes is evaluated through discounting future cash flow estimates, based on the conditions and duration to maturity of each contract, using the market interest rates of a similar instrument at the measurement date and in accordance with the Black & Scholes model.

(1)

Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes only

The carrying amount of certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other short-term investments, derivatives, bank overdrafts, short-term loans and credit, trade payables and other payables, are the same or proximate to their fair value.

The following table details the carrying amount in the books and the fair value of groups of non-current financial instruments presented in the financial statements not in accordance with their fair values:

December 31, 2015		December 31, 2014

Debentures (c)	1,157,169	1,188,392	1,004,660	1,139,653

(a)

The fair value of the long-term loans granted is based on a calculation of the present value of cash flows, using the acceptable interest rate for similar loans having similar characteristics (Level 2).

(b)

The fair value of the long-term loans received is based on a calculation of the present value of cash flows, using the acceptable interest rate for similar loans having similar characteristics (Level 2).

(c)

The fair value of the debentures is based on stock exchange quotes (Level 1).

The interest rates used determining fair value

The interest rates used to discount the estimate of anticipated cash flows are:

U.S. dollar interest	1.72-9.76

Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value

The table below presents an analysis of financial instruments measured at fair value, measured by valuation method. The various levels have been defined as follows:

● Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical instrument.

● Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

● Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value, are evaluated by observable inputs and therefore are concurrent with the definition of level 2.
