b. Comparative Information

Balances items as of June 30, 2009 shown in these unaudited financial statements for comparative purposes arise from audited annual financial statements for the year then ended.

Balances for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 of income and cash flows statements are shown for comparative purposes with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Figures as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 have been subject to certain reclassifications required in order to present these figures comparatively with those stated as of December 31, 2009.

NOTE 2: CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION

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

NOTE 2: (Continued)

 

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

The rate used for restatement of items was the domestic whole revenue price index published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census.

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited financial statements of the subsidiaries mentioned in Note 1 a., have been prepared on a consistent basis with those applied by the Company. The Note 1 to the Unaudited Basic Financial Statements details the most significant accounting policies. Below are the most relevant accounting policies adopted by the subsidiaries, which are not included in that note.

a. Revenue recognition

In addition to the description in the Unaudited Basic Financial Statements:

 

   

Revenues from admission rights, leases and services

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Tenants are generally charged a rent, which consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly revenues (the “Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 4% and 10% of tenant’s gross revenues).

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

Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which provide for rents based on a percentage of revenues or based on a percentage of revenues volume above a specified threshold. APSA determines the compliance with specific targets and calculates the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided for in the contracts.

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

a. (Continued)

 

Thus, these contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.

Generally, APSA’s lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months. Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six-months, upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, subject to penalties which vary from one to one and a half months rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of its lease, and one month of rent if the tenant rescinds after the first year of its lease.

Additionally, APSA charges its tenants a monthly administration fees related to the administration and maintenance of the common area and the administration of contributions made by tenants to finance promotional efforts for the overall shopping centers operations. The administration fee is prorated among the tenants according to their leases, which varies from shopping center to shopping center. Administration fees are recognized monthly when earned.

In addition to rent, tenants are generally charged “admission rights”, a non-refundable admission fee that tenants may be required to pay upon entering into a lease or upon lease renewal. Admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. Admission rights are recognized using the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease agreements.

 

   

Lease agent operations

Fibesa S.A., company in which Alto Palermo S.A. has an interest of 99.99996%, act as the leasing agent for APSA bringing together the Company and potential lessees for the retail space available in certain of the APSA’s shopping centers. Fibesa S.A.’s revenues are derived primarily from collected commissions calculated as a percentage of the final rental income value and admission rights. Revenues are recognized at the time that the transaction is successfully concluded.

 

   

Credit card operations “Consumer Financing”

Revenues derived from credit card transactions consist in commissions and financing income, charges to clients for life and disability insurance and for

statements of account, among other. Commissions are recognized at the time the merchants’ transactions are processed, while the rest financial income is recognized when accrued. Income generated from granting consumer loans mainly includes financial interests, which are recognized by the accrued method during the period irrespective of whether collection has or has not been made.

 

   

Hotel operations

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

b. Investments

 

   

Current Investments

Current investments include retained interests in securitized receivables pursuant to the securitization programs of Tarshop with a realization term not exceeding twelve months, which have been accounted for under the equity method, net of the corresponding allowances for impairment, if applicable. Mutual funds, government and mortgage bonds are carried at their market value at the end of the period/year and time deposits are carried at face value plus accrued interest at the end of the year

 

   

Equity investees and other non-current investments

Include retained interests in securitized receivables, which have been accounted for under the equity method, net of the corresponding allowances for impairment, if applicable.

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

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

c. Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are carried at cost restated as mentioned in Note 2, less accumulated amortization and corresponding allowances for impairment in value. Included in the Intangible Assets caption are the following:

 

   

Trademarks

Trademarks include the expenses and fees related to their registration.

 

   

Pre-operating and organization expenses

Those expenses are amortized by the straight-line method in 3 years, beginning as from the date of opening.

The value of the intangible assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at period/year end, respectively.

d. Negative goodwill, net

i) Negative goodwill: Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of net assets of the subsidiaries at the percentage of participation acquired over the acquisition cost. If the value of the identified tangible and intangible assets exceeds the purchase price paid: (i) the acquired intangible assets are not recognized because they would entail an increase in the negative goodwill arising from these acquisitions at the time of the purchase and (ii) the excess will be treated as negative goodwill as follows: (a) the portion related to the expectations of future losses will be recognized in the income statements for the same periods in which such losses are incurred; (b) the amount not in excess of the equity interest over the non-monetary assets of the issuer will be recognized as negative goodwill and (c) the amount that exceeds the non-monetary assets will be recognized in the statement of income at the time of the purchase.

Goodwill has been restated following the guidelines mentioned in Note 2 and amortization has been calculated by the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life considering the weighted-average of the remaining useful life of identifiable assets acquired subject to depreciation.

ii) Goodwill: The goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the net assets’ current value of the business acquired to the share percentage.

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

NOTE 3: (Continued)

 

d. (continued)

 

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

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

e. Liabilities in kind related to barter transactions

Liabilities in kind corresponding to obligations to deliver units to be built are valued considering the cost of the assets received. The Company estimates that this value exceed the cost of construction of the units to deliver plus additional costs to transfer the assets to the creditor. Liabilities in kind have been shown in the “Trade account payables”.

NOTE 4: NET OPERATING INCOME BY BUSINESS UNIT

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting. Accordingly, the Company has six reportable segments. These segments are Development and Sale of properties, Office and other Non-Shopping center Rental Properties, Shopping centers, Hotel Operations, Consumer financing, and financial operations and others. As mentioned in Note 1, the unaudited Consolidated Statements of income were prepared following the guidelines of Technical Resolution No. 21 of the FACPCE.

A general description of each segment follows:

 

   

Development and Sale of properties

This segment includes the operating results of the Company’s construction and sale of property business.

NOTE 20: LAWSUITS AND CLAIMS IN COURSE

 

   

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

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

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

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

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

In accordance with the information provided by the attorneys, the amount to be recorded amounts to Ps.10,173 as of December 31, 2009, such amount being recorded in Other current liabilities—Payables to National Parks Administration.

NOTE 21: RESTRICTED ASSETS

A. IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

 

  (i) Puerto Retiro S.A.

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

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

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

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

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

Together with the acquisition of this shareholding, REIG shall be entitled to an option for a five-year term over a further 5,700,000 additionally ordinary shares at a price of US$ 3 per share. The total price to be paid by REIG for such shares was US$ 14.3 million. Also contemplated in the investment agreements was the appointment of our Chairman and CEO, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, to the position of member of Hersha’s Board of Directors.

As of December 31, 2009, IRSA’s ownership interest in Hersha amounts to 11.30%. Besides, if the purchase option previously mentioned were exercised without any new shares being issued in favor of third parties, IRSA’s stake in Hersha would amount to 19.28%.

Hersha is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the “HT” symbol that holds majority interests in 73 hotels throughout the United States of America totaling approximately 9,294 rooms. These hotels are rated as “select service” and “upscale hotels” and they are mainly located in the Northeast coast of the US, including New York, New Jersey, Boston, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, whilst a few are located in northern California and some others in Arizona. These properties are operated under franchises that are leaders and enjoy widespread recognition in their markets, such as Marriot International, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Starwood Hotels, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Global Hyatt Corporation and Choice Hotels International.

3. Acquisition of Metropolitan

In July 2008, IRSA (through its subsidiaries) acquired a 30% interest in “Metropolitan 885 Third Ave. LLC” (or “Metropolitan”) whose equity is composed of an office building known as “Lipstick Building” and debt related to that asset. The transaction included the acquisition of (i) a put right excercible until July 2011 to sell a 50% of the interest acquired at the same value paid plus interest at 4.5% per annum and (ii) a right of first offering to acquire a 60% portion of the 5% interest of the shareholding. The price paid in this transaction was US$ 22.6 million.

At June 30, 2009, Metropolitan had incurred losses in excess of the book value at which IRSA carried this investment arising mainly from the allowance for impairment booked in connection with the Lipstick Building. IRSA’s share in these losses exceeds value of the investment booked by IRSA. Therefore, the investment was valued at zero and a liability was recognized and recorded under “Other liabilities” for US$ 1.5 million (equivalent to the maximum amount that IRSA has agreed to contribute in the event of being required to fund Metropolitan’s operations). The put right was revalued accordingly and adjusted to its value at year-end, estimated at US$ 12.1 and disclosed under other receivables.

Aspects pending of resolution:

As mentioned in the notes to the financial statements of Banco Hipotecario S.A (“Banco Hipotecario”) there are certain aspects that had been objected to by the Financial Institutions Oversight Department of the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) and for which Banco Hipotecario is preparing its corresponding response. These matters are related mainly to:

 

  a) The accounting treatment for certain transactions involving derivative financial instruments, which, according to the requirements of BCRA, are to be booked In accordance with the criteria laid down by the professional accounting standards, would entail a reduction in Shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2009;

 

  b) Regulatory treatment and prudential relations resulting from the negotiation and consummation of certain transactions involving derivative financial instruments. It is to be noted that, in response to certain objections raised by the Argentine Central Bank, the Entity decided to compute the counterparty and fractioning risk associated to its exposure to the Non-financial Public Sector as well as the ensuing impact on the minimum capital requirements for thousand Ps. 2,047,289 for a five-month period and maturing on November 30, 2009. At the date of issuance of these financial statements, this situation had been regularized.

For purposes of recording its investment in Banco Hipotecario, the Company applies this entity’s Shareholders’ equity determined according to the professional accounting standards. Therefore, the aspects described in a) above do not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements because they have been already contemplated in the values considered by the Company.

At the date of issuance of its financial statements as of December 31, 2009, Banco Hipotecario had made adjustments to the book value of certain transactions described in paragraph a) above and is now awaiting the Argentine Central Bank’s approval.

Banco Hipotecario’s Treasury Shares

Tarshop S.A. has ongoing revolving year securitization programs through which Tarshop S.A. transfers a portion of its customer credit card receivable balances to trusts that issues certificates to public and private investors.

Under the securitization programs, Trusts may issue two types of certificates representing undivided interests in the Trusts—Títulos de Deuda Fiduciaria (“TDF”) and Certificates of Participation (“CP”), which represent debt and equity certificates, respectively. Interest and principal services are paid periodically to the TDF holders throughout the life of the security. CPs are subordinated securities which entitle the CP holders to share pro rata in the cash flows of the securitized credit card receivables, after principal and interest on the TDFs and other fees and expenses have been paid. During the revolving period no payments are made to TDF and CP holders.

Principal collections of the underlying financial assets are used by the Trust to acquire additional credit card receivables throughout the revolving period. Once the revolving period ends, a period of liquidation occurs during which: (i) no further assets are purchased, (ii) all cash collections are used to fulfill the TDF service requirements and (iii) the remaining proceeds are used to fulfill the CPs service requirements.

In consideration of the credits transferred to the Trusts, which have been eliminated from Tarshop´s balance sheet, which receives cash (arising from the placement of the debt securities by the Trusts) and the participation certificates issued by the Trusts. The latter are recorded at their values calculated by the equity method of accounting at the closing of the period/ year, net of the corresponding allowances for impairment, if applicable, on the basis of the financial statements issued by the Trusts.

Under this Securitization Program Tarshop S.A. transferred to The Financial Trusts the total amount of Ps. 262,078 during the period ended December 31, 2009 of credits receivable originated in the use of its clients’ credit cards and personal loans carrying promissory notes.

Notes to the unaudited financial statements

For the six-month periods beginning on July 1, 2009 and 2008

and ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

In thousands of pesos

Free translation from the original prepared in Spanish for publication in Argentina

NOTE 1: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

1.1. Preparation and presentation of financial statements

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

The Company’s results for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 have not been audited. The Company’s management estimates that they include all the adjustments necessary to present fairly the results for each period.

The Company’s six-month periods results do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Company’s full-year results.

1.2. Use of estimates

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

1.3. Recognition of the effects of inflation

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

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

1.3. (Continued)

 

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

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

1.4. Comparative information

Balances items as of June 30, 2009 shown in these unaudited financial statements for comparative purposes arise from audited annual financial statements for the year then ended.

Balances of the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 of the unaudited income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow statements are shown for comparative purpose with the same period of the previous fiscal year.

The financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and as of December 31, 2008 originally issued have been subject to certain reclassifications required in order to present these figures comparatively with those stated as of December 31, 2009.

These unaudited financial statements consider the effect of the spin off-merger described in Note 16.2. Therefore, the unaudited financial statements as of December 31, 2009 are not comparable to the figures of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

1.5. Valuation criteria

a. Cash and banks

Cash on hand has been valued at face value.

b. Foreign currency assets and liabilities

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

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

1.5. (Continued)

 

c. Current investments

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

d. Accounts receivables, net and trade accounts payable

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

e. Financial receivables and payables

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

f. Other receivables and prepaid expenses and liabilities

Other current receivables and other current liabilities have been valued at face value plus the financial results accrued at the closing of the corresponding year.

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

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

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

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

1.5. (Continued)

 

h. Inventories

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

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

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

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

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

Units to be received:

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

i. Non-current investments

 

   

Investments in debt securities:

Investments in debt securities were valued based on the best estimate of the discounted amount receivable, applying the corresponding internal rate of return estimated at the time of incorporation to assets, as the Company will hold them to maturity.

i. (Continued)

 

   

Investments in subsidiaries and equity investments:

Long term investments in subsidiaries and equity investments detailed in Exhibit C, have been valued by using the equity method of accounting based on the financial statements at December 31, 2009 issued by them. The accounting standards used by the subsidiaries to prepare their financial statements are the same as those used by the Company. The accounting standards used by the related companies to prepare their financial statements are those currently in effect.

Accumulated depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to results in the period incurred.

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

Significant renewals and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life. At the time depreciable assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the accumulated depreciation of the assets are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is disclosed in the Statement of Income.

 

   

Other properties and equipment:

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

k. Intangible assets, net

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

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

The value of these assets does not exceed its estimated recoverable value as of period/year-end.

l. Business combinations

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

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

The Company uses the information contained in valuations estimated by independent appraisers as primary base for assigning the price paid for the land, the building and shopping centers. The amounts assigned to all the other assets and liabilities are based on independent valuations or on the Company´s own analysis on comparable assets and liabilities. The current value of tangible assets acquired considers the property value as if it was empty.

l. (Continued)

In accordance with the terms of Technical Resolution N° 21, if the value of identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities exceeds the price paid, the intangible assets acquired are not recognized as they would cause an increase of the negative goodwill generated by these acquisitions at the time of the purchase. Furthermore, as regards the negative goodwill generated, the portion concerning the investees’ expectations of future expenses or losses will be recognized in the statements of income for the same periods in which such expenses or losses are accrued and expensed. The portion that is not concerned with the investees’ expectations of future expenses or losses will be treated as follows: (i) the amount that does not exceed the investor’s interest over the current values of the investees’ identifiable non-monetary assets will be consistently recognized in the statement of income throughout a period equivalent to a weighted average of the remaining useful lives of the investees’ identifiable assets subject to depreciation; (ii) the amount that exceeds the current values of the investees’ identifiable non-monetary assets will be recognized in the statement of income at the time of the acquisition.

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

m. Debt issuance costs

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

Amortization has been recorded under “Financial results, net” in the unaudited statements of income as a greater financing expense.

n. Customer advances

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

o. Income tax

 

The Company has recognized the charge for income tax by the deferred tax liability method, recognizing timing differences between measurements of accounting and tax assets and liabilities (see Note 15).

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

p. MPIT

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

q. Allowances and Provisions

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

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

q. (Continued)

 

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

Increases and decreases of allowances for impairment of assets during the period ended as of December 31, 2009 and the year ended as of June 30, 2009 are detailed in Exhibit E.

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

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

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

r. Shareholders’ equity accounts

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

NOTE 1: (Continued)

 

1.5. (Continued)

 

t.1. (Continued)

 

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

t.2 Revenues from leases

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

u. Cash and cash equivalents

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

v. Negative Goodwill, net

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of net assets of the subsidiaries at the percentage of participation acquired over the acquisition cost. If the value of the identified tangible and intangible assets exceeds the purchase price paid (i) the acquired intangible assets are not recognized because they would entail an increase in the negative goodwill arising from these acquisitions at the time of the purchase (ii) the excess will be treated as negative goodwill as follows: (a) the portion related to the expectations of future losses will be recognized in the income statements for the same periods in which such losses are incurred (b) the amount not in excess of the equity interest over the non-monetary assets of the issuer will be recognized as negative goodwill (c) the amount that exceeds the non-monetary assets will be recognized in the statement of income at the time of the purchase

(i) In May 2006 Koad S.A. (Koad) and the Company entered into a barter agreement valued at US$ 7.5 million by which the Company sold to Koad a plot of land for the construction of a building group called “Caballito Nuevo”. As consideration Koad paid an amount of US$ 0.05 million and the balance of US$ 7.4 million will be cancelled by delivering 118 apartments and 55 parking units within the maximum term of 1,188 days. The final number of units to be received will depend of the effective date in which Koad will deliver the units, as there are different bonuses according to the date of the delivery. In guarantee of the operation, Koad encumbered with a mortgage the plot subject to this transaction in the amount of US$ 7.5 million and constituted insurance for US$ 1 million. As of December 31, 2009, Koad has delivered 42 parking spaces out of the total agreed.

Additionally, preliminary sales agreements have been signed over 52 functional units to be received. These units have been measured at their net realization value, which generated income for Ps. 2,638 from this transaction during the period ended as of December 31, 2009.

 

(ii) In March 2004, the company (through its subsidiaries) sold to Desarrolladora El Encuentro S.A. (DEESA) a plot of land in Benavidez through the exchange of (i) US$ 1.0 million in cash and (ii) 110 residential plots of the mentioned for an amount of US$ 3.0 million. As guarantee of compliance with the operation, DEESA set up a first mortgage amounting to US$ 3.0 million. As of December 22, 2009 DEESA gave the residential plots and the mortgage was lifted.
(iii) In July 2008, the Company and Cyrsa executed and delivered a barter deed for US$ 12.6 million whereby IRSA conveyed to Cyrsa a plot of land in the Caballito neighborhood. In turn, Cyrsa agreed to conduct a real estate development in that plot for the construction of homes: there will be a first stage comprising the construction of two buildings and a second stage for the construction of a third building, at Cyrsa’s option.

As consideration, Cyrsa paid US$ 0.12 million, with the outstanding balance to be paid through the delivery of 25% of the units making up the buildings to be constructed in the plot. If at June 2010 Cyrsa were to opt for not constructing that third building, IRSA will be receiving the unit to which any rights to engage in further construction on pre-existing structures attach for the third building. To guarantee compliance with its obligations, Cyrsa has mortgaged the land for the amount of US$ 12.6 million.

The Company in accordance with the new accounting standards (See Res. Gral CNV 485/05 y 487/06) has decided not to recognize the deferred liability generated by the effect of the adjustment for inflation on the fixed assets and other non-monetary assets. The estimated effect as of the date of the issuance of these unaudited financial statements that the adoption of the new criteria would have generated would be a decrease in shareholders’ equity of approximately Ps. 123.9 million which should be recorded in the income statement accounts of previous periods for Ps. 155.5 million (loss) and in the income statement accounts of the fiscal period Ps. 31.6 million (gain). This effect includes those generated by Subsidiaries.

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

NOTE 18: RELEVANT FACTS

1. Purchase of Alto Palermo’s Notes

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Company bought Alto Palermo notes Series I and II for US$ 39.6 million and US$ 46.5, respectively. The total amount paid was US$ 19.3 million and US$ 8.2 million, respectively. This transactions generated Ps. 74,285 million and Ps. 18,363 million, respectively in that fiscal year.

2. Acquisition of company’s shares by Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A.

During the year ended June 30, 2009, Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (“Cresud”) acquired additional shares of the Company. Consequently, Cresud’s share in the Company, either directly and indirectly, exercises control on the Company, as from October 2008 it holds the necessary votes to form the social will in the ordinary meetings of shareholders in accordance with the terms of Technical Resolution No. 21.

3. Financial and capital market situation

In late 2008, the financial markets of the largest economies in the world were adversely affected by the prevailing conditions of volatility and illiquidity and by the credit crunch. This led in turn to a significant decline in the stock market indices at the international level which came hand in hand with a slow-down in the global economy.

As soon as the largest economies in the world were intervening by injecting liquidity into the markets, interest rates responded with a downward trend which favored, in 2009, the recovery of stock and debt market indices. As regards the real economy at the global level, it remains to be seen whether the measures implemented by the different governments have had lasting positive effects.

As regards Argentina in 2008, the quotation of Government and corporate securities in the stock markets sustained dramatic drops whereas interest rates, the country risk rate and the exchange rates went upwards. In 2009, securities started to recover, particularly the instruments issued by the Argentine Government, with the ensuing impact on the valuation at fair value of the financial assets holdings maintained by Banco Hipotecario in its portfolio.

As regards the quotation of Banco Hipotecario’s shares, which had declined in recent semesters due to the overall market situation, it has significantly appreciated in the past months which corroborates our estimate that the decrease in the value of Banco Hipotecario’s shares had been temporary.

The management is evaluating and monitoring the effects derived from situations referred on the Company in order to adopt the necessary measures to soften the effects of the global situation to protect the Company equity.

SUMMARY AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009

Macroeconomic Context

According to most recently released official data available at the date of issuance of this report as of November 2009, the Economic Activity Monthly Estimator (EMAE) showed a 2.2% increase (without seasonal adjustment) compared to the values recorded in the same month of the previous year, which would imply a recovery in the economic activity levels similar to the ones recorded last year.

Regarding macroeconomic indicators, in the third quarter of calendar 2009 (latest available data) Argentina recorded a primary surplus and current account surplus, and its capital account was also positive. Consequently, the Central Bank increased its international reserves by US$ 1,811 million, to US$ 45,193 million. However, the Argentine government’s financial result is still negative as a result of the debt service payments made during the period.

In relation with the various sectors of the economy, the main indicators show a rebound in activity levels. In connection with the construction industry, according to the data shown by the Indicator of Construction Activities (ISAC, in Spanish), construction activities have increased by 0.38% from November 2008 to November 2009. Sales in supermarkets and shopping centers have continued to grow: as concerns supermarket sales, according to the INDEC their year-on-year variation at constant prices was 4.76% as of November 2009, though this growth rate is lower than the one recorded in 2008.

As regards the demand for homes in the real estate market throughout calendar 2009, there was a deceleration in supply and demand, accompanied by a slight decline in prices. Yet, as compared to other countries, no sub-prime mortgage crisis is to be expected in our market affecting the value of homes as it occurred in other economies because home loans here still stand for less than 2% of this country’s GDP.

Concerning the office rental market in Buenos Aires, since the end of 2008 a slow contraction in rental prices has been observed, along with higher vacancy levels. The reason for this has been a slight decrease in demand on the one hand, motivated by the changes occurred in the economic scenario, and the larger supply and availability of surface area on the other, mainly due to the addition of footage to the market.

As regards the hotel sector, according to the data released by the Tourism Secretariat in its International Tourism Survey (ETI) as of September, 2009 the number of tourists arriving in Argentina (accumulated 12-month data) fell by approximately 31.0% compared to the cumulative figures for the same period a year earlier. That was mainly due to the impact of the worldwide financial crisis and the H1N1 Influenza outbreak. However, although no official data are available yet, there has been a strong reversion in the downward figures of visitors who arrived in Argentina; therefore, a remarkable increase in tourist arrivals is expected to occur in the near future.

Despite an overall less favorable context, the Company’s real estate segments continue to show a robust position in the current scenario thanks to the quality of our assets, perceived as attractive by the market. This in turn translates into high levels of occupancy and cash generation combined with low short-term indebtedness, allowing us to maintain our market leadership.

Comments on operations during the quarter ended on December 31, 2009

Our revenues amounted to Ps. 656.6 million as of December 31, 2009 compared to Ps. 541.4 million as of December 31, 2008. The share of the Company’s various segments in net sales was as follows: Sales and Developments rose by 115.8% to Ps. 137.4 million, Offices and Other Rental Properties increased by 11.5% to Ps. 79.0 million, Shopping Centers rose by 29.2% to Ps. 252.2 million, Hotels decreased by 13.3% to Ps. 76.3 million, whereas Consumer Finance totaled Ps. 111.7 million.

Our operating income rose 496.8% and totaled Ps. 291.8 million for the six months ended on December 31, 2009 compared to Ps. 48.9 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year. This is mainly explained by the higher operating income posted by Sales and Developments, close to Ps. 92.9 million, and by an increase in the Consumer Finance segment’s result. This segment, which had recorded an operating loss of Ps. 110.8 million during the same period of the previous year, showed a Ps. 18.3 million operating income for the six months ended December 31, 2009.

As regards financial results, they entailed a Ps. 48.8 million loss for the six-month period ended on December 31, 2009, compared to a Ps. 139.0 million loss in the same period of fiscal 2008. This was caused by the slower pace of devaluation in this quarter compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, which implied a lower impact of the exchange rate fluctuations in financial results.

Finally, the results from related companies showed an income of Ps. 143.1 million for the first six-month of fiscal year 2010 compared to a Ps. 47.3 million loss in the same period of fiscal 2009 due to the performance of our investment in Banco Hipotecario S.A. and the increase of our interest in such institution.

Therefore, net income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 totaled Ps. 264.3 million, reflecting a ratio of 40.3% over revenues, compared to the Ps. 99.0 million loss recorded by IRSA during the first two quarters of fiscal year 2009.

Highlights for the first six-month of fiscal year 2010, including references to significant situations occurred after the end of the period.

I. Offices and Other Rental Properties

During the first six-month of fiscal year 2010, income from rental properties totaled Ps. 79.0 million, a 11.5% higher than the Ps. 70.9 million recorded in the same period of fiscal year 2009.

This result is explained by our offices’ higher rental prices, which translated into a 33.8% increase in the revenues per leased square meter. This positive result was offset by a slight decline of around 3 percentage points in occupancy levels, reaching values close to 90%, and by a 11.5% reduction in leasable square meters as of December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008.

This reduction in our portfolio was caused by the sale of an office building in the past quarter in addition to other properties sold, all non strategic, during the calendar year. All these transactions were agreed upon for amounts close to US$ 3,000 per square meter. These amounts are similar to those we paid before the current world financial crisis in order to acquire premium office buildings in Argentina, such as Edificio República and Torre BankBoston.

This sales’ value per square meter reflects the strength of the local real estate market, which is perceived by investors as a high quality alternative to preserve their wealth in the current volatile global market scenario.

II. Alto Palermo S.A. (“APSA”): Shopping Centers and Consumer Finance

The following information relates to data extracted from the financial statements of our subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), the company that operates our shopping center business, in which we had a 63.35% interest as of December 31, 2009.

During the six-month period ended on December 31, 2009 our tenants’ sales in our Shopping Centers amounted to Ps. 2,813.2 million. In nominal terms, this amount points to a 27.7% increase compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. APSA’s tenants same shopping centers sales rose by 11.1% compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. This increase reflects mainly the strong upsurge in sales during the months of October and November, which went up by 20.8% and 20.3%, respectively, compared to the previous year.

The business success of APSA’s tenants allowed it to maintain the occupancy rates at its Shopping Centers at 98.0% as of December 31, 2009. This level is reflected by a strong increase in its revenues, which amounted to Ps. 252.2 million as of December 31, 2009, 29.2% higher than those recorded in the same period of the previous year.

In addition, the strong generation of results from this segment, reflected by the high quality of its assets and its unparalleled market position, it is shown by the 35.7% increase in operating income for the period, which totaled 139.2 million, compared to the same period of the previous year.

Consumer Finance Segment – Tarshop S.A. Subsidiary

During fiscal year 2009, and as a result of the international financial context then prevailing, Alto Palermo S.A. adopted the decision to strengthen Tarshop’s business. This was performed mainly by means of capital contributions for a total of Ps. 165 million, which increased APSA’s equity interest in Tarshop from 80% to 98.59% as of December 31, 2009. Other actions were carried out to improve the company’s management, including the following:

 

(i) Streamlining of the operating structure to gear with the new business context.

 

(ii) Revision of cash lending plans and financing of purchases at retail stores.

 

(iii) Changes in the Loan Origination Policies.

 

(iv) Strengthening of Collection Management scheme.

 

(v) Analysis and implementation of new funding tools.

Thanks to the increased stringency in the origination requirements and the measures aimed at controlling portfolio delinquency, the loan portfolio including securitized coupons as of December 31, 2009 amounted to Ps. 543.8 million, 27.4% less than the Ps. 749.0 million portfolio posted in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Delinquent loans past 90 to 180 days represented 3.89% of the portfolio, which shows an improvement since December 2008 in the performance measured by this indicator.

The following chart illustrates the changes in the monthly volume of loan origination:

The following chart illustrates the changes in Loan Balance at the end of each month and the recovery of 3 to 6 month delinquency rates.

Thus, net revenues decreased 9.6% from Ps. 123.6 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2008, to Ps. 111.7 million for the same period of the current fiscal year. Gross profit stood at Ps. 60.0 million and the operating result recorded an income of Ps. 14.1 million, which reflects an improvement when compared to the Ps. 113.0 million loss obtained in the six month period ended on December 31, 2008. Net income for the six-month period ended on December 31, 2009 finally amounted to Ps. 10.7 million, continuing the positive trend of the previous quarter. This reflects a recovery in Tarshop S.A.’s results of operations, owing to the measures adopted and the improvement in capitalization combined with a relative stabilization in local financial markets, a decline in the write-off of bad debts and a decrease in operating expenses, confirming the diagnosis we had previously made.

Notwithstanding this recovery, we continue to work toward optimizing Tarshop S.A.’s performance and prepare it to address the current market conditions.

Finally, on December 29, 2009, Alto Palermo S.A. executed a stock purchase agreement with Banco Hipotecario S.A whereby Banco Hipotecario agreed the acquisition of 80% of Tarshop S.A.’s stock capital held by APSA. The transaction is subject to the occurrence of certain events, including the grant of the Argentine Central Bank’s consent, in compliance with the applicable laws.

The transaction price was fixed at US$ 26.8 million, payable as follows: US$ 5.4 million as of the date of execution of the referred agreement, whereas the remaining balance of US$ 21.4 million will be payable within 5 business days after the date the Argentine Central Bank gives notice of its consent to the transaction. Banco Hipotecario is in an unmatched position to endow Tarshop with an operating and financial performance capacity commensurate with its future business needs.

III. Sales and Developments

In the six-month period ended December 31, 2009, revenues in the Sales and Developments segment amounted to Ps. 137.4 million, compared to Ps. 63.7 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to the disposition of offices in non-strategic buildings, including the sale of the “Edificios Costeros” building, located at Olga Cossettini 1553, Dock II, closed during the past quarter. The building was sold for US$ 18.0 million. These transactions were executed for amounts close to US$ 3,000 per square meter, comparable to the sums paid by IRSA to acquire high quality assets such as Edificio República and Torre BankBoston before the current world financial crisis.

In addition, the results from the residential projects under development started to be recognized.

Below, the Company’s principal developments are described:

Caballito Nuevo, City of Buenos Aires. This property, with a surface of 8,404 square meters, is situated in the northern area of Caballito’s residential neighborhood in the City of Buenos Aires. On May 4, 2006, we and Koad S.A. (“Koad”), an Argentine developer, entered into an asset barter agreement valued at US$7.5 million pursuant to which we sold to Koad plot number 36 of “Terrenos de Caballito” in exchange for Koad’s agreement to construct, at its sole expense, a residential complex to be named “Caballito Nuevo”, planned to span over a total area estimated at 28,000 sqm that will accommodate a residential complex consisting of two 34-story towers containing 220 apartments each, consisting of one, two and three room residential units with surface areas ranging from 40 to 85 square meters. The proposed apartment complex is currently expected to offer a wide variety of amenities and services. We estimate that KOAD S.A. will deliver to IRSA the title deed and possession over 118 apartments and 55 parking spaces in Tower 1 in the first half of calendar 2010, roughly equivalent to 25% of IRSA’s own square meters in compliance with the above-mentioned agreement. As result of this operation, KOAD S.A. mortgaged the property up to US$ 7.4 million and make a caution insurance as an additional guarantee of US$ 2.0 million in favor of the Company. The degree of completion for Tower 1 is presently 95%. During 2009 IRSA executed preliminary sales agreements for 53 apartments and 22 parking lots representing 48.95% of the square meters to be received as barter. These transactions were executed for a sales value of about US$ 4.5 million.

Vicente López, Olivos, Province of Buenos Aires. In January 2007, we acquired a company whose main asset is a plot of land located in Vicente Lopez, Province of Buenos Aires, for US$ 21.2 million.

At the same time, a plot of land adjacent to said property was acquired for a purchase price of US$ 15.0 million.

In April 2007, we created CYRSA S.A. in order to have a corporate vehicle to facilitate the development of a specific project together with one or more investors having in-depth knowledge and vast experience in the industry. Also at that time, IRSA and Cyrela (a Brazilian developer company) made contributions to CYRSA which include the plots of land and the debt related to the acquisition of the plot of land mentioned for CYRSA to develop its first project.

CYRSA’s first project, which has been developed in a plot made up by two adjacent blocks in the Vicente López neighborhood, was launched in March 2008 under the name “Horizons”. It is

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

 

one of the most significant developments in Greater Buenos Aires and it will entail a new concept in residential complexes given its emphasis on the use of common spaces. This project includes two complexes with a total of six buildings; one of them facing the river with three 14-floor buildings (the “River” complex) and the other on Avenida del Libertador with three 17-floor buildings (the “Park” complex), totaling 59,000 square meters built for sale distributed in 467 units (including the units to be delivered in exchange for the acquisition of land). With its unique and innovating style in residential complexes, Horizons has 32 amenities, including a meeting room, a work zone, indoor swimming pools, club house and spa, sauna, gym, children room, teen room; theme-park areas; and aerobic trail, to name a few. The showroom was opened to the public in March 2008 with immediate success. As of the date of these financial statements, preliminary sales agreements had been executed for 99% of Cyrsa’s units on sale.

As of December 31, 2009, the degree of progress of the works is above 65.11%, and its conclusion and delivery are expected to occur over the course of fiscal year 2011.

Torres Rosario Project, City of Rosario, Province of Santa Fe. The project, being implemented by our subsidiary Alto Palermo, spans over an entire block, sub-divided into 8 parcels covering approximately 50,000 square meters overall. As of December 31, 2009, a barter was executed over 2 of the 8 parcels with Condominios del Alto S.A. (parcels 2-G and 2-H) with 6 parcels pending sale and amounting to approximately 31,000 square meters of surface area in the aggregate.

The barter of Lot 2-G comprises a total of 7,901 sqm to be applied to the construction of homes in exchange for 15 units to be built with an area of 1,504 sqm and 15 parking lots.

The barter of Lot 2-H comprises 11,687 sqm for sale, 22% of which (3,188 sqm) would be for Alto Palermo as consideration. This area represents 42 units and 47 car spaces.

The degree of progress of the works as of December 31, 2009 is 92% in Parcel 2-G and 23% in Parcel 2-H, and they are estimated to be completed in July 2010 and December 2011, respectively.

El Encuentro. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we received from Desarrolladora El Encuentro S.A., through a subsidiary, 110 functional units located in the residential community known as “El Encuentro” in the District of Tigre, Province of Buenos Aires, under a barter agreement previously executed by us.

Subasta Catalinas. In December 2009, a preliminary purchase agreement was executed in respect of a property located in “Catalinas Norte” in the City of Buenos Aires, adjacent to the office building known as “Torre BankBoston”. The plot extends over an area of 3,649 square meters. The price was fixed in the sum of Ps. 95.0 million, and as of the closing of the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, Ps. 19.0 million had been paid. The remaining balance will be payable at the time of execution of the deed of conveyance of title, scheduled for May 2010.

IV. Hotels

Income from the Hotel segment dropped by 13.3%, down from Ps. 88.0 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2009 to Ps. 76.3 million for the same period of fiscal year 2010.

This result was mainly attributable to the decrease in average occupancy, which stood at 61.5% compared to 75.1% for the same period of the previous fiscal year, partially offset by the performance of the average rate, which in the first six-month period of fiscal year 2010 reached an average Ps. 667 per room rate, compared to Ps. 642 in the previous period. This drop in the occupancy average can be attributed to Hotel Llao-Llao and Hotel Intercontinental, whose average occupancy levels for the six-month period ended December 31, 2009 were 43.7% and 62.4%, respectively.

The main reason for these indicators is that they drag the cumulative negative results recorded during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, during which the H1N1 influenza outbreak adversely affected the inflow of tourists. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 a reversion in this trend has been observed, and cumulative results for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2009 have improved.

The following is information about our hotels for the six-month period ended as of December 31, 2009.

V. Investments in Other Companies

Acquisition of Interest in Hersha Hospitality Trust

In August 2009, IRSA and its subsidiaries acquired, for US$ 14.25 million, an equity interest in Hersha Hospitality Trust (“Hersha”) and warrants for the subscription of new shares to be exercised under certain conditions. As a result, IRSA became Hersha’s principal shareholder.

Hersha is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the “HT” symbol that holds majority interests in 73 hotels throughout the United States of America totaling approximately 9,294 rooms. These hotels are rated as “select service” and “upscale hotels” and they are mainly located in the Northeast coast of the US, including New York, New Jersey, Boston, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, whilst a few are located in northern California and some others in Arizona. These properties are operated under franchises that are leaders and enjoy widespread recognition in their markets, such as Marriott International, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Starwood Hotels, Hilton Hotels Corporation, Global Hyatt Corporation and Choice Hotels International.

IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

 

After the closing of the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, IRSA through its subsidiaries subscribed a capital increase in Hersha for US$14.4 million. As a result of this subscription, the stake held by IRSA and its subsidiaries in Hersha amounts to 10.33% of its outstanding stock capital. If the above mentioned warrants are exercised our holding would reach 14.77%.

Acquisition of Shares in Banco Hipotecario S.A.

In line with the groups’ holdings’ consolidation strategy, in December 2009 IRSA acquired, through its subsidiaries, 10,328,193 class D shares of Ps. 1 par value per share of Banco Hipotecario S.A. and 3,238,652 ADRs of Banco Hipotecario S.A., representing 10 class D shares of Ps. 1 par value each, for a total amount of US$ 15.0 million. As a result of this acquisition, IRSA’s direct and indirect interest in Banco Hipotecario reached 26.86% over the issued capital stock.

Payment of dividends. After 10 years, IRSA resumed dividend payments in compliance with the policy proposed by the BOD. This policy provides for payment of 20% of the revenues from the “Office and other” segment as of June 30 of each year or an amount equal to 20% of the net income as of June 30 of each year, whichever is higher. As resolved by its Shareholders’ Meeting and Board Meeting, IRSA made available, as of November 17, 2009, a cash dividend of Ps. 31.7 million, equivalent to 5.5% of the stock capital, and an amount per share (Ps. 1 par value) of Ps. 0.05.

VII. Recent Events

Alto Palermo’s purchase option. On January 14, 2010, IRSA announced the acquisition of an option to purchase Parque Arauco SA’s entire direct and indirect interest in Alto Palermo S.A., which represents 29.6% of Alto Palermo S.A.’s current stock capital. IRSA paid US$ 6 million for the option, which will be considered as an advance payment of the final amount, fixed by both parties in US$ 126 million. The option may be exercised until August 31, 2010, extendable to November 30 of this year.

The company believes that once the transaction is perfected, apart from being an excellent business opportunity it will also imply the consolidation of our position in the Argentine shopping center market, placing us at the forefront of this industry.

VIII. Brief comment on prospects for the next quarter

Our business performance has remained solid, as we successfully went through a hard 2009 thanks to the quality of our assets, and this has translated into high occupancy levels and cash flow generation capacity.

The shopping centers maintain high occupancy levels and adhesion by tenants. The rhythm of sales in the shopping centers recovered during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 after the deceleration experienced in the first quarter as a consequence of the H1N1 influenza outbreak. Tenants adhere to our new proposals, as shown by Dot Baires’ occupancy levels. We will continue working to improve the services offered to our tenants and consumers, seeking to maintain high occupancy levels and traffic in our shopping centers and sales growth rates. We believe that Alto Palermo is a unique vehicle for accessing the Shopping Center business in Argentina, and that’s why we agreed upon the purchase option for the minority stake held by Parque Arauco S.A., that should be exercised during this year.

As concerns the Consumer Finance business, the first half of the fiscal year saw a profit that is the result of the efforts made in the previous year to streamline and stabilize the business in light of the new economic scenario. We will continue to work with the aim of improving the operating and financial performance of this segment, and in pursuit of this goal we aspire to complete the sales process of Tarshop S.A.’s majority interest to Banco Hipotecario S.A., that will endow Tarshop with an operating and financial performance capacity commensurate with its future business needs.

 

131


IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima

 

As concerns the Office and Rental Properties segment, despite the year-on-year drop in occupancy levels lease revenues have remained firm, both in pesos and dollars. We believe that there is some stagnation in the market in terms of occupancy rates and pricing levels caused by the market conditions and the addition of footage, mainly in the northern area of the City of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires. To face this, we have a unique premium portfolio in downtown Buenos Aires that awakens interest among top-quality lessees in the market. We will continue working toward maintaining high occupancy levels and optimizing our portfolio mix.

Regarding the Sales and Development segment, we will make progress in the works schedule of the Horizons project through our subsidiary Cyrsa, where we have already started to recognize revenues. As concerns other ventures, we will continue with the sales of the Caballito Nuevo complex, in which work progress stands at 95% in Tower 1, and we will continue to work aimed at launching the project that involves the construction of tower buildings in the property adjacent to Shopping Abasto.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

3. Based on our work and examinations of the financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, on which we issued our unqualified report on September 8, 2009, we report that:
