General information

1.1  
The Group’s business and general information

Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud” or the “Company”) was founded in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company primarily engaged in providing rural and urban loans in Argentina and administering real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, the shares of Cresud were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders. From the 1960s through the end of the 1970s, the business of Cresud shifted exclusively to agricultural activities.

In 2002, Cresud acquired a 19.85% interest in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“IRSA”), a real estate company related to certain shareholders of Cresud. In 2009, Cresud increased its ownership percentage in IRSA to 55.64% and IRSA became Cresud’s principal subsidiary.

Cresud and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Group. See Note 2.3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 for a description of the Group’s companies.

As of December 31, 2014, the Group operates in two major lines of business: (i) Agricultural business, (ii) Urban Properties and Investments business. See Note 6 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 for a description of the Group’s segments.

The Group’s Agricultural business operations are comprised of crop production, cattle feeding, raising and fattening, milk production, sugarcane production and brokerage activities. The Group currently has agricultural operations and investments in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.

The Urban Properties and Investments business operations are conducted primarily through IRSA and IRSA’s principal subsidiary, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. (formerly Alto Palermo S.A. (“APSA”) which changed its legal name to “IRSA Propiedades Comerciales”). Through IRSA Propiedades Comerciales and IRSA, the Group owns, manages and develops shopping centers across Argentina, a portfolio of office and other rental properties in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, and since 2009 it entered into the US real estate market, mainly through the acquisition of non-controlling interests in office buildings and hotels. Through IRSA or IRSA Propiedades Comerciales, the Group also develops residential properties for sale. The Group, through IRSA, is also involved in the operation of branded hotels. The Group uses the term “real estate” indistinctively in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements to denote investment, development and/or trading properties activities.

Basis of preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

2.1
Basis of preparation

The present Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (the “Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

2.  
Basis of preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2014. These Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in thousands of Argentine Pesos.

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements corresponding to the six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have not been audited. The Company´s management believes they include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period. Results for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 do not necessarily reflect proportionally the Company’s results for the complete fiscal years.

2.2  
Accounting Policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the information under IFRS as of June 30, 2014. Most significant accounting policies are described in note 2 included in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.

2.3  
Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires the Management to make estimations 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 period. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same applied by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014, save for changes in accrued income tax, provision for legal claims and allowance for doubtful accounts.

Total or partial disposal of foreign operation

The disposal of a Group’s interest in any foreign operation amounts to any reduction of such ownership interest in the operation. The Group may fully or partially dispose its interest in foreign operation through sale, liquidation or return of contributed capital.

2.  
Basis of preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In the case of total or partial disposals of foreign operations and once such disposal becomes effective, the Group proportionally reclassifies the disposal made, the accumulated exchange differences related to the foreign operations recognized under Other comprehensive income and accumulated under a separate item in shareholders’ equity.

Acquisition of assets carried out between entities under common control

The Group has elected to recognize acquisition of assets or group of assets carried out between entities under common control who also qualify as “Business Combination” according to IFRS 3, using acquisition method.

2.4  
Comparative information

Amounts as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, which are disclosed for comparative purposes have been taken from the Consolidated Financial Statements as of such dates. The financial statements originally issued have been subject to certain reclassifications required in order to present these figures comparatively with this period.

3.  
Seasonal effects on operations

The operations of the Group’s agricultural business are also subject to seasonal effects. The harvests and sale of grains (corn, soybean and sunflower) generally take place between February and June every year. Wheat is generally harvested between November and January. In Bolivia, weather conditions make it possible to have two soybeans, corn and barley seasons and, therefore, these crops are harvested in April and October, whereas wheat and sunflower are harvested in August and September, respectively. Other segments of the agricultural business, such as beef cattle and milk production tend to be more stable. However, beef cattle and milk production is generally larger during the second quarter, when conditions are more favorable. In case of sugar cane, harvest and sale take place between May and November of each year. As a result, there may be material fluctuations in the agricultural business results across quarters.

The operations of the Group’s shopping centers are also subject to seasonal effects, which affect the level of sales recorded by lessees. During summer time (January and February), the lessees of shopping centers experience the lowest sales levels in comparison with the winter holidays (July) and year-end celebrations (December) when they tend to record peaks of sales. Apparel stores generally change their collections during the spring and the fall, which impacts positively on shopping mall sales. Sale discounts at the end of each season also impact the business. As a consequence, a higher level of revenues is generally expected in the second half of the year rather than the first in shopping center operations.

Segment information (Continued)

The operating results of Cyrsa S.A., Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. ("NPSF"), Puerto Retiro S.A., Baicom Networks S.A. and Quality Invest S.A. joint venture operations are presented on a proportionate format. The proportionate format presents the net income from the equity-accounted joint venture on a line-by-line basis rather than as a single line item as IFRS requires to be shown in the consolidated income statements. Management considers that given that the assets underlying both the consolidated and equity-accounted operations are similar and the drivers of their results are similar, that the proportionate consolidation format is a more useful way to understand the performance of the business. This is because the proportionate format aggregates both revenue and expense items rather than netting them for equity accounted ventures and only reflecting their performance as a single line item of profit or loss. As a result, the proportionate format is what the Group’s Executive Committee considers in assessing and understanding the performance and results of operations of these businesses as a whole. Moreover, operating results of Entertainment Holding S.A. ("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 La Rural S.A..

The following tables present a reconciliation between the total results of segment operations and the results of operations as per the income statements. The adjustments relate to the presentation of the results of operations of joint ventures accounted for under the equity method under IFRS and the non-elimination of the inter-segment transactions as explained in the preceding paragraph.

Restrictions, commitments and other matters related to associates

IDBD

As part of the purchase agreement, DN B.V. and ETH have agreed to participate jointly and severally in capital increases resolved by the Board of Directors of IDBD to carry out their business plan during 2014 and 2015, in amounts of at least NIS 300 million in 2014 and NIS 500 million in 2015 (approximately equal to US$ 77 million and US$ 128 million at the exchange rate prevailing on December 31, 2014). As of December 31, 2014, DN B.V. and ETH have contributed an amount of NIS 407 million (equal to approximately US$ 104 million) thus complying with the amounts committed for 2014, while NIS 393 are still to be contributed in 2015.

Interests in associates (Continued)

Furthermore, under the purchase agreement, DN B.V. and ETH have agreed jointly and severally to make one or more tender offers for the purchase of shares in IDBD for an aggregate amount of NIS 512.09 million (equal to approximately US$ 131 million at the exchange rate prevailing on December 31, 2014), based on the following scheme: (i) before December 31, 2015, an amount of at least NIS 249.8 million at a share price of NIS 8.344 (subject to adjustments) and (ii) before December 31, 2016 in the amount of at least NIS 512.09 million less the tender offer conducted in 2015, at a share price of NIS 8.7612 (subject to adjustments). To secure compliance with the tender offers, an aggregate amount of 29,937,591 shares of IDBD held by DN B.V. were pledged as of December 31, 2014. On the balance sheet date, no tender offers had been made.

On the other hand, the purchase agreement provides that DN B.V. and ETH shall jointly and severally pay to creditors who participate in the restructuring arrangement indicated above the additional sum of NIS 100 million (equal approximately to US$ 26 million at the exchange rate prevailing on December 31, 2014), in the event that IDBD executes the sale of its equity interest in the subsidiary Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd. before December 31, 2014 and provided that: (i) the sale price shall not be lower than NIS 4,200 million (equal to approximately US$ 1,078 million at the exchange rate prevailing on December 31, 2014) and (ii) the transaction is closed before June 30, 2015, provided that IDBD has received by the latter date a payment of at least NIS 1,344 million (gross) (equal to approximately US$ 345 million at the exchange rate prevailing on December 31, 2014). As of December 31, 2014, IDBD did not execute the sale of its interest in Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd.  Given that, as of December 31, 2014, IDBD did not perfect the above mentioned sale, the additional commitment assumed by DN B.V. and ETH ceased to have effect.

On May 12, 2014, shares of IDBD started to trade in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, Israel; as a result, all of the shares (including pledged shares) were held in trust at Bank Leumi Le-Israel to secure compliance with lock-up provisions of Chapter D of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Rules, whereby shares listed under an IPO (initial public offering) may not be freely disposed of for a term of 18 months, which are then released at a rate of 2.5% per month beginning on the fourth month of the IPO date.

Hence, in accordance with Tel Aviv Rules applicable to December 31, 2014, 47,355,557 shares and 335,715 warrants of each of the Series 2 and 3 were still subject to lock-up provisions under the terms described above.

BHSA

On October 31, 2014 the Bank was notified of Ruling 685 dated October 29, 2014 issued by the Superintendence of Financial Entities and Exchange Offices in proceedings conducted pursuant to Financial Investigation Case Number 1320, whereby the Bank and its officers were charged with alleged infringements to rulings on assistance to Non-Financial Public Sector, excess credit risk exposure to non-financial public sector, excess collateralization, failure to comply with minimum capital requirements and objections to the accounting treatment afforded to the transaction “Cer Swap Linked to PG08 and External Debt”; and moreover, delays in communicating the appointment of new members of the board and to file documentation related to new members of the board designated by the Shareholders’ Meetings.

Such a ruling assessed a fine in the amount of Ps. 4.04 million to Banco Hipotecario S.A. and fines of diverse amounts to incumbent and former members of the Board and managers. Against such penalty, on November 25, 2014 Banco Hipotecario and other affected parties filed a writ of appeal, as per the provisions of section 42 of the Financial Entities Act, which was sent by the BCRA to the National Court of Appeals in Administrative Litigation Matters, and will be decided by Division I of said Court of Appeals. Moreover, the same Division will also decide on motions for injunctions filed on December 30, 2014 by the Bank and the persons affected by the collection proceedings filed by the BCRA for the collection of penalties. Notwithstanding the expectations to get a judicial revocation of the penalties applied by the BCRA, Banco Hipotecario S.A. has set up an allowance equal to 100% of the penalty applied by the ruling.

Properties under development mainly comprise works in Shopping Neuquén S.A. (Alto Comahue) and Arcos del Gourmet S.A. (Distrito Arcos). As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 works in Alto Comahue amount to Ps. 244,095 and Ps. 126,799, respectively. The project is expected to be completed until March 2015. Works in Distrito Arcos as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 amount to Ps. 26,030 and Ps. 236,202, respectively.

In respect of Arcos del Gourmet S.A., on December 10, 2013, the Judicial Branch confirmed an injunction order that suspended the opening of the shopping center on the grounds that it did not have certain governmental permits. The Company carried out specific actions, challenged the ruling that imposed the penalty and requested that it be lifted with expectations of a favorable result. In this context, on April 10, 2014 the Government of the City of Buenos Aires granted a new environmental clearing certificate.

On the other hand, in one of the two judicial processes (amparos – actions intended to protect constitutional rights) currently being heard, “Charlon, Marcelo Alejandro and others VS. GCBA on/ Amparo”, the Court of Appeals referred above confirmed the decision rendered by the lower court whereby the action was abated, as per notice served upon us on September 1, 2014. This means that, to date, the process has concluded with the decision being favorable to the Group.

As to the other process entitled “Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (FECOBA) and others vs. GCBA on/ Amparo”, on August 29, 2014 the lower court rendered a decision rejecting the case. This judgment was appealed and following the corresponding service of notices between the parties, the record of proceedings was submitted to the Court of Appeals in September 2014. Following the corresponding notification of the Court’s Prosecutor, the record of proceedings was docketed for a decision on October 8, 2014, following a decision by the Court of Appeals in early December 2014. Such decision confirmed the judgment rendered by the lower court where it held both FECOBA and Vicente Lourenzo lacked active legitimation to file an action to protect the environment and fair competition. As a result, on December 18, 2014 the Shopping Center was opened and thus, given that this decision confirmed the lower court’s decision, the injunction that had prevented the opening of the Shopping Center became ineffective.

It should be noted that the plaintiff filed an action in first instance requesting the continuation of the injunction on the grounds that it had filed an action for unconstitutionality, which is an extraordinary remedy to be decided by the CABA Higher Court of Justice.

Even though we are not certain about the remedy being filed for we have not been notified of its existence and content as of the balance sheet date, the first instance court rejected the plaintiff’s motion on the grounds that the decision rendered by the Court of Appeals has the same effects as a final judgment and, thus, the injunction is no longer in force.

Financial instruments by category

Determining fair values

IFRS 9 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which a financial 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.

16.  
Financial instruments by category (Continued)

In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can refer to at the date of valuation. A market is deemed active if transactions of assets or liabilities take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise equity investments, mutual funds and mortgage bonds for which quoted prices in active markets are available. In the case of shares, the Group allocates them to this level when either a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.

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 for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise interest rate swaps and foreign currency future contracts.

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 that information is not available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which any market player would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group has allocated to this level shares and warrants of Supertel, Arcos del Gourmet S.A. stock option (its fair value at the end of the period is zero) and commitment to tender offer of shares in IDBD.

Since June 30, 2014, there have been no transfers between the several tiers used in estimating the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments, or reclassifications among their respective categories.

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.

Financial instruments by category (Continued)

Upon initial recognition (January, 2012), the consideration paid for the Shares and Warrants of Supertel was assigned to both instruments based on the relative fair values of those instruments upon acquisition. The fair value of these instruments exceeded the transaction price and were determined using a valuation technique that uses inputs not observable in the market. As a result of the use of this technique, the Group has not recognized a gain at the time of initial recognition in the amount of US$ 7.9 million. On June 30, 2014, the fair value of warrants of Supertel as determined pursuant to the indicated method was lower than the gain not recognized upon initial recording; therefore, warrants are valued at zero.

According to Group estimates, all factors being constant, a 10% decline in the price of the underlying assets of Level 3 Shares and Warrants of Supertel (data observed in the market) as of December 31, 2014, would reduce pre-tax income by Ps. 37 million.

According to Group estimates, all factors being constant, a 10% decrease in the credit spread (data which is not observable in the market) of shares and warrants of Supertel used in the valuation model applied to Level 3 financial instruments as of December 31, 2014, would increase pre-tax income by Ps. 0.01 million. The rate used as of December 31, 2014 was 14.07%.

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of Ps. 67.1 million and Ps. 57.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Although management believes that it will become profitable in the foreseeable future, as a result of the history of recent losses incurred during the development phase of the different Group’s business operations and the lack of verifiable and objective evidence due to the limited operating history of the Group itself, the Board of Directors has determined that there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to utilize the losses within a reasonable timeframe, therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized in relation to these losses.

The tax on the Group’s profit before tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities as follows:

26.  
Taxation (Continued)

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. Tax 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.

The Company does not set up an allowance for Minimum Presumed Income Tax and is considering filing a declaratory action under the terms of section 322 of the Civil and Commercial Procedural Code against the AFIP seeking certainty as to the application of the MPIT for the fiscal year 2014, 2015 and advance payments from 7 through 11 corresponding to fiscal year 2014, in relation to the decision by the Argentine Supreme Court in the case “Hermitage” on September 15, 2010 and “Perfil” on February 11, 2014. In such judicial precedents, the Court had declared such tax to be unconstitutional given that, under certain circumstances, it proves to be unreasonable and inconsistent with the ability-to-pay principle.

27.  
Shareholders’ Equity

Special Reserve

Pursuant to CNV General Ruling No. 609/12, the Company set up a special reserve, to reflect 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 cannot be used to make distributions in kind or in cash, and can only be reversed to be capitalized, or otherwise to absorb potential negative balances in Retained Earnings. The mentioned Reserve was reversed under the appropriation of Retained Earnings resolved by Shareholders’ Meeting held on November 17, 2014.

Treasury stock

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2014 Cresud repurchased 37,657 common, registered shares of own stock of Ps. 1 nominal value and 1 vote per share, in exchange for Ps. 0.5 million and 303.018 American Depositary Shares or ADRs representing 10 shares each for a total amount of US$ 3.9 million, thus completing the terms and conditions of the share repurchase plan.  On the balance sheet date, no deadline has been established for the sale of repurchased shares.

27.  
Shareholders’ Equity (Continued)

On December 12, 2014, as per the powers delegated by the Regular General Shareholders’ Meeting on October 31, 2014, the Board decided to distribute pro rata among shareholders 5,565,479 Treasury shares, which represent 0.0114% per share or 1.1406% on the outstanding capital of 487,928,660.

Share Warrants

As a result of the allocation of Treasury shares indicated above, the terms and conditions of outstanding options (warrants) to purchase common shares have been somewhat modified:

Number of shares to be issued per warrant:
 
Ratio before allocation: 0.3673
 
Ratio after allocation (in force): 0.3715
 
Exercise price per future share to be issued:
 
Price before allocation: US$1.5247.
 
Current price after allocation: US$1.5075.

Restrictions on distribution of dividends

-  
Legal reserve

According to Argentine law, 5% of the profit of the year is separated to constitute a legal reserve until they reach legal capped amounts (20% of total capital). This legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. Shareholders’ Meeting held on November 17, 2014 resolved the use of the statutory reserve in the amount of Ps. 81,616 to absorb accumulated losses. The Company shall have to fully replenish such reserve before any distribution of accumulated earnings.

-  
Treasury stock

Given that the repurchase of shares for subsequent sale is to be funded out of net cash income or free reserves, pursuant to section 220.2. of Act 19,550, insofar as the Company maintains Treasury shares there is a restriction on the distribution of retained earnings or free reserves, equal to the acquisition cost.

CNV General Ruling No. 629/14 – Storage of documentation

On August 14, 2014, the CNV issued General Ruling N° 629 whereby it introduced amendments to rules related to storage and conservation of corporate books, accounting books and commercial documentation. In this sense, it should be noted that the Group has entrusted the storage of certain non-sensitive and old information to the following providers:

Documentation storage provider
Location
Bank S.A.
Gral. Rivas 401, Avellaneda, Province of Buenos Aires
 
Ruta Panamericana Km 37,5, Garín, Province of Buenos Aires
 
Av. Fleming 2190, Munro, Province of Buenos Aires
Carlos Pellegrini 1401, Avellaneda, Province of Buenos Aires
 
Iron Mountain Argentina S.A.
Av. Amancio Alcorta 2482, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Pedro de Mendoza 2143, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Saraza 6135, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Azara 1245, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Polígono industrial Spegazzini, Autopista Ezeiza Km 45, Cañuelas, Province of Buenos Aires
 
Cañada de Gomez 3825, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

It is further noted that a detailed list of all documentation held in custody by providers, as well as documentation required in section 5 a.3) of section I, Chapter V, Title II of the RULES (2013 as amended) are available at the registered office.

On February 5, 2014 there was a widely known fire in Iron Mountain’s warehouse. To the date of these financial statements, the Group is waiting for the company that experienced the fire to report whether the documentation submitted has been actually affected by the fire and its condition after the accident. Nevertheless, based on the internal review carried out by the Group, duly reported to the CNV on February 12, 2014, the information kept at the Iron Mountain premises that were on fire do not appear to be sensitive or capable of affecting normal operations.

Group of assets held for sale (Continued)
 
   Pursuant to IFRS 5, assets and liabilities available for sale have been valued at the lower of their book value or fair value less selling cost. Since fair value is higher than book value of the pool of assets available for sale including some goodwill related to the acquisition, no impairment has been recorded as of June 30, 2014.
 
   The following table shows the main assets and liabilities held for sale:

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

 
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
Legal address: Moreno 877 – 23° floor
Autonomous City Buenos Aires
Tax Code No. 30-50930070-0

 
Introduction
 

 
We have reviewed the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements attached of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its subsidiaries (hereinafter “the Company”) which included the unaudited condensed  interim consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2014, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of  income and comprehensive income for the six and three-month period ended December 31, 2014, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated  statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended December 31, 2014 and selected explanatory notes.
 

 
The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and the interim periods within that fiscal period are an integral part of these financial statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to these financial statements.
 

 
Management responsibility
 

 
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of  these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements  in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards , adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE)  as professional accounting standards and added by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to its regulations as approved by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and , for this reason,  is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated  financial statements mentioned in first paragraph according to the International Accounting Standard No 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on the review that we have performed with the scope detailed in paragraph “Scope of our review”.

Scope of our review
 
Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established in the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as a review standard in Argentina through Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries of persons responsible for the preparation of the information included in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flow of the Company.
 

 
Conclusion
 
Nothing came to our attention as a result of our review that caused us to believe that these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the regulations of the International Accounting Standard No. 34.

1.  
General information

1.1  
The Company’s business and general information

Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud” or the “Company”) was founded in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company primarily engaged in providing rural and urban loans in Argentina and administering real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, the shares of Cresud were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders. From the 1960s through the end of the 1970s, the business of Cresud shifted exclusively to agricultural activities.

Cresud is a company organized and domiciled in the Republic of Argentina. The address of its registered office is Moreno 877, 23rd Floor, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on February 9, 2015.

2.  
Basis of preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements

2.1.
Basis of preparation

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Technical Resolutions No. 26 (RT 26) of Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“F.A.C.P.C.E.”, as per its Spanish acronym) and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Furthermore, some additional issues were included as required by the Business Companies Act and/or regulations of the CNV, including supplementary information provided in the last paragraph of article 1, Chapter III, Title IV of General Ruling 622/13. Such information is included in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements should be read together with the annual audited Separate Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 2014. These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements are expressed in thousands of Argentine Pesos.

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have not been audited. The Company´s management believes they include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period. Results for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 do not necessarily reflect proportionally the Company’s results for the complete fiscal years.

2.2.
Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the information under RT 26 as of June 30, 2014 and are based on those IFRS in force as of June 30, 2014 (except for the accounting of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method as required in RT 26). Furthermore, the most significant accounting policies are described in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2014.

2.3.  
Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires the Management to make estimations 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 period. Future results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these Unaudited Interim Condensed Separate Financial Statements.

In the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same applied by the Company in the preparation of the annual separate financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, except for changes in provisions for income tax, for legal claims and for doubtful accounts.

2.4.  
Merger with Cactus Argentina S.A.

During September 2014, the Company entered into a pre-merger commitment with its wholly-owned subsidiary Cactus Argentina S.A. whereby the Company would be the absorbent Company and Cactus would be the absorbed Company.

CNV General Ruling No. 629/14 – Storage of documentation
 
   On August 14, 2014, the CNV issued General Ruling N° 629 whereby it introduced amendments to rules related to storage and conservation of corporate books, accounting books and commercial documentation. In this sense, it should be noted that the Group has entrusted the storage of certain non-sensitive and old information to the following providers:
 
Documentation storage provider
Location
Bank S.A.
Ruta Panamericana Km 37,5, Garín, Province of Buenos Aires
 
Av. Fleming 2190, Munro, Province of Buenos Aires
Carlos Pellegrini 1401, Avellaneda, Province of Buenos Aires
 
Iron Mountain Argentina S.A.
Av. Amancio Alcorta 2482, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Pedro de Mendoza 2143, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Saraza 6135, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Azara 1245, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Polígono industrial Spegazzini, Autopista Ezeiza Km 45, Cañuelas, Province of Buenos Aires
 
Cañada de Gomez 3825, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

  It is further noted that a detailed list of all documentation held in custody by providers, as well as documentation required in section 5 a.3) of section I, Chapter V, Title II of the RULES (2013 as amended) are available at the registered office.
 
  On February 5, 2014 there was a widely known fire in Iron Mountain’s warehouse. To the date of these financial statements, the Group is waiting for the company that experienced the fire to report whether the documentation submitted has been actually affected by the fire and its condition after the accident. Nevertheless, based on the internal review carried out by the Group, duly reported to the CNV on February 12, 2014, the information kept at the Iron Mountain premises that were on fire do not appear to be sensitive or capable of affecting normal operations.

36.  
Negative working capital
 
   At the end of the period, the Company carried a working capital deficit of Ps. 317,135 whose treatment is being considered by the Board of Directors and the respective Management.

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
Legal address: Moreno 877 – 23° floor
Autonomous City Buenos Aires
Tax Code No. 30-50930070-0

 
Introduction
 

 
We have reviewed the unaudited condensed interim separate  financial  statements attached of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (hereinafter “the Company”) which included the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of financial position as of December 31, 2014, the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of income and comprehensive income for the six and three-month period ended December 31, 2014, the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended December 31, 2014 and selected explanatory notes.
 

 
The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and the interim periods within that fiscal period are an integral part of these financial statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to these financial statements.
 

 
Management responsibility
 

 
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements in accordance with professional accounting standards of Technical Resolution No. 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) added by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to its regulations. Those standards differ from the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and, especially, from the International Accounting Standard No 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34) approved by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and used for the preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria with its subsidiaries as to the aspects mentioned in note 2.2 to the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements attached. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on the review that we have performed with the scope detailed in paragraph “Scope of our review”.

Scope of our review
 
Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established in the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as a review standard in Argentina through Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries of persons responsible for the preparation of the information included in the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the separate statement of financial position, the separate statements of income and comprehensive income and the separate statement of cash flow of the Company.
 

 
Conclusion
 
Nothing came to our attention as a result of our review that caused us to believe that these unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the regulations of Technical Resolution No. 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences for separate financial statements of a parent company.

Summary as of December 31, 2014
 
 
Buenos Aires, February 9, 2015 - Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (NASDAQ: CRESY – BCBA: CRES), one of the leading agricultural companies in South America, announces today its results for the first six months of fiscal year 2015 ended December 31, 2014.
 
 
 
Highlights
 
During the first half of this season we had better rainfall levels than in 2014. To date, planting progress is at 88% in the combined countries where we operate, and we expect to plant 211,000 hectares in the region. Price-wise, the sector is facing the juncture of large harvests in the USA and Brazil, causing prices to remain very depressed. We expect the 2015 season to end with favorable weather conditions and yields that partially offset the drop in commodity prices.

As concerns land development and sale of farms, we plan to develop an aggregate of approximately 12,000 hectares in the region during this season and to consummate more sales of farms that have reached optimum appreciation. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we had sold, through our subsidiary Brasilagro, a fraction of undeveloped land in Paraguay for a very attractive price, whereas in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 we made no farm sales.

Income from our subsidiary IRSA keeps reflecting the soundness of its business, mainly its shopping center and office building segments. IRSA’s EBITDA, excluding the effect of sales of investment properties and the reversal of the conversion reserve generated in Rigby 183 due to the sale of Madison, rose 26.1% for the first six months of fiscal year 2015, reaching ARS 798.0 million.

Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A.
Summary as of December 31, 2014
 
 
►  
During this quarter our revenues were 37.6% higher than in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This was mainly due to a 63.0% increase in the agricultural segment, explained by higher sales of grains, sugarcane, beef cattle and milk, along with a 23.9% increase in revenues from the urban segment.
 
 
►  
Gross profit rose 43.4% during the first six months of fiscal year 2015, mainly due to higher revenues and higher recognition of the fair value of biological assets and agricultural products. Besides, profit from operations increased by 283.2%, mainly explained by the sale of the Madison 183 building in New York recorded in the first quarter of 2015 and the sales of several office floors in Maipú 1300, Libertador 498 and Bouchard Plaza 551 buildings made by our subsidiary IRSA.
 
 
►  
Despite the considerable increase in profit from operations, we recorded a loss for the period of ARS 185.3 million, compared to a net loss of ARS 265.8 million in the same six-month period of fiscal year 2014, explained mainly by the losses resulting from our investment in the Israeli company IDBD, whose stock prices fell significantly during the quarter, which is recorded at market value.

Segment Income
 
 
Agricultural Segment:
 
 
I)  
Development, Transformation and Sale of Farmlands
 
We periodically sell properties that have reached a considerable appraisal to reinvest in new farms with higher appreciation potential. We analyze the possibility of selling based on a number of factors, including the expected future yield of the farmland for continued agricultural and livestock exploitation, the availability of other investment opportunities and cyclical factors that have a bearing on the global values of farmlands.
 
During the first six months of fiscal year 2015 we sold a fraction of 24,624 hectares in the farm situated in Paraguay owned by Cresca, through our subsidiary Brasilagro. Although the preliminary sale agreement had been executed on April 3, 2014, possession was surrendered upon the execution of the deed of sale and mortgage dated July 14, 2014.

No sales were made during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Agricultural Production
 
II.a) Crops and Sugarcane
 
During the first half of this season we had better rainfall levels than in 2014, although in some of our farms, mainly in Argentina, rains have been excessive. To date, planting progress is at 90% in Argentina; 88% in Bolivia; 86% in Brazil; and 93% in Paraguay, and we expect to plant 211,000 hectares in the region. Price-wise, the sector is facing the juncture of large american and brazilian harvests, causing prices to remain very depressed. We expect the 2015 season to end with normal weather conditions and yields that partially offset the drop in commodity prices.

►  
Income from the Grains segment decreased in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014 due to lower Other Operating Income and lower holding results caused by a drop in the price of corn recorded throughout the quarter, at the time this crop was harvested and stock volumes were thus higher.

  
The Sugarcane segment decreased its loss during the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 by ARS 9.4 million, mainly due to a significant increase in yields forecasted and achieved in Brazil, offset by lower production results in Bolivia as revenues were lower than expected, mainly due to smaller yields.

II.b) Cattle and Dairy Production
 
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 we recorded positive results in our beef cattle and milk business in Argentina, reflecting the combined effect of higher beef production volumes, a slight decrease in milk production, and constrained costs in both products. After their recent upward trend, prices have stabilized during the quarter under review.

After a neutral 2014 season in the region, with improved weather conditions in Argentina and Paraguay and greater problems in Brazil and Bolivia, better rainfall levels have been recorded at the start of this season as compared to the beginning of 2014. To date, planting progress is at 88% in the combined countries of the region where we operate. We expect to plant an aggregate of 211,000 hectares and to reach production figures comparable to those recorded in the previous season.  Price-wise, the sector is facing the juncture of large american and brazilian harvests, causing prices to remain very depressed. We expect the 2015 season to end with normal weather conditions and yields that partially offset the drop in commodity prices.

As concerns our beef cattle and milk business in Argentina, we have observed positive results during the second quarter of 2015, reflecting the combined effect of higher livestock production volumes, a slight decrease in the production of milk, and constrained costs in both products, whereas prices stabilized during the quarter under review, after their recent upward trend. In addition, we have continued to roll out our strategy of supplementing agriculture in our own farms with agriculture in leased farms and farms under concession. We maintained the area of leased farms, yet relocating part of our portfolio in better areas. In this way, we will be able to obtain good results from this business if the weather proves to be favorable throughout the 2015 season.

As concerns land transformation and value-adding activities, we will make progress in the development of our farms in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, where we plan to transform approximately 12,100 hectares that will be placed into production during this fiscal year and in 2016. We remain watchful of sale opportunities that may arise, by disposing of those farms that have reached their highest degree of appreciation. In addition, we will continue to analyze opportunities in other countries of the region, as we plan to form a regional portfolio with high potential for development and valorization.

Our urban real estate business, through our subsidiary IRSA, records sound revenue levels in all rental properties. We expect to continue leveraging on the good results resulting from our investment in this company during the rest of the fiscal year.
