EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial Inmobiliaria Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is filing this report on Form 6-K (this “Form 6-K”) pursuant to SEC Financial Reporting Manual, Topic 13 – Effects of Subsequent Events on Financial Statements Required in Filings, which requires retrospective revision of audited financial statements that are incorporated by reference in a registration statement to reflect a subsequent change in accounting principle (or consistent with staff practice, discontinued operations and changes in segment presentation) if the registration statement also incorporates by reference post-event interim financial statements. Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K includes Cresud’s audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, which have been recast to: (a) present the audited consolidated financial statements in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period as of September 30, 2020 (the most recent period for which financial statements were included in this Form 6-K); and (b) reflect IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.’s loss of control of IDB Development Corporation, Ltd. (“IDBD”) and Discount Investment Corporation, Ltd. (“DIC”) on September 25, 2020 and, consequently, the deconsolidation of such investees since that date. See “Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information.” Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K amend and replace in their entirety the audited consolidated financial statements of Cresud included in Cresud’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (our “2020 Form 20-F”) originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2020, and the other information in this Form 6-K amends and replaces information set forth in our 2020 Form 20-F to the extent the information contained in our 2020 Form 20-F conflicts with the information contained herein. Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 6-K includes Cresud’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER INFORMATION
 
In this Form 6-K, references to “Cresud,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” means Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial Inmobiliaria Financiera y Agropecuaria and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires, or where we make clear that such term refers only to Cresud and not to its subsidiaries.
 
The terms “Argentine government” and “government” refer to the federal government of Argentina, the term “Central Bank” refers to the Banco Central de la República Argentina (the Argentine Central Bank), the terms “CNV” and “CNV Rules” refer to the Comisión Nacional de Valores (the Argentine National Securities Commission) and the rules issued by the CNV, respectively. In this Form 6-K, when we refer to “peso,” “pesos” or “ARS” we mean Argentine pesos, the legal currency of Argentina, and when we refer to “U.S. dollar,” “U.S. dollars” or “USD” we mean United States dollars, the legal currency of the United States.
 
References to “ADSs” are to the American Depositary Shares, each representing 10 shares of our common stock, issued pursuant to the deposit agreement, dated as of March 18, 1997 (the “deposit agreement”), between us, The Bank of New York, as depositary (the “ADS Depositary”), and the owners and holders of the ADSs issued from time to time thereunder, and references to “ADRs” are to the American Depositary Receipts, which represent the ADSs.
 
Financial Statements
 
We prepare and maintain our financial books and records in pesos and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and the CNV Rules. Our fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of each year.
 
The following have been filed as exhibits to this Form 6-K:
 
●
our audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and for our fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (our “Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”), which have been recast to: (a) present the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period as of September 30, 2020 (the most recent period for which financial statements are included in this Form 6-K); and (b) reflect IRSA’s loss of control in IDBD and DIC on September 25, 2020 and, consequently, the deconsolidation of such investees since that date; and
 
●
our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (our “Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” and, together with our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, our “Financial Statements”).
 
Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been approved by our Board of Directors on January 5, 2021 and have been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L., Argentina, member of PriceWaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm whose report is included herein.
 
Deconsolidation of IDBD and DIC
 
Prior to September 25, 2020, we managed our business and operations in Israel through our subsidiaries IDBD and DIC. On September 25, 2020, the District Court in Tel Aviv-Jaffa (the “Court”), in response to a petition from IDBD’s creditors, declared the insolvency of IDBD and initiated liquidation proceedings (the “Liquidation Proceedings”). The Court appointed a trustee for IDBD’s shares and receivers for DIC’s and Clal’s shares.
 
Under IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” (“IFRS 10”), an investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following: (a) power over the investee; (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Based on the facts and circumstances outlined above, our management believes that, as from September 25, 2020, IRSA lost control over IDBD and DIC (as this term is defined by IFRS 10). Accordingly, (a) our investment in IDBD and DIC has been deconsolidated in our Unaudited Interim Financial Statements, and (b) our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to reflect the deconsolidation of IDBD and DIC.
 
Functional and Presentation Currency; Adjustment for Inflation
 
Our functional and presentation currency is the peso, and our Financial Statements filed as exhibits to this Form 6-K are presented in pesos.
 
IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (“IAS 29”) requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be measured in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements.
 
In order to conclude that an economy is “hyperinflationary,” IAS 29 outlines a series of factors, including the existence of an accumulated inflation rate in three years that is approximately or exceeds 100%. As of July 1, 2018, Argentina reported a cumulative three-year inflation rate greater than 100% and therefore financial information published as from that date should be adjusted for inflation in accordance with IAS 29. Therefore, our Financial Statements and the financial information included in this Form 6-K have been presented in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period as of September 30, 2020. For more information, see “—Financial Statements” and Note 2.1 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted IFRS 15, Revenues from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”) and IFRS 9, Financial instruments (“IFRS 9”) using the modified retrospective approach, so that the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognized in the retained earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year starting on July 1, 2018, and the comparative figures were consequently not modified. Accordingly, certain comparisons between periods may be affected. See Note 2.2 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and “Operating Review and Prospects—New Accounting Pronouncements” for a more comprehensive discussion of the effects of the adoption of these new standards.
 
Organizational Structure
 
As of September 30, 2020, we had two business lines to manage our global business, which we refer to in this Form 6-K as “Agricultural Business” and “Urban Properties and Investments Business” derived from our subsidiary IRSA, which is in turn had two operations centers to manage its global business, which we refer to in this Form 6-K as the “Operations Center in Argentina” and the “Operations Center in Israel.” Following the loss of control of IDBD and DIC on September 25, 2020, and starting on October 1, 2020, we will manage our global business from our Operations Center in Argentina. See above “—Deconsolidation of IDBD and DIC.”

Currency Translations
 
We have translated some of the peso amounts contained in this Form 6-K into U.S. dollars for convenience purposes only. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, the rate used to convert peso amounts to U.S. dollars is the seller exchange rate quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina of ARS 76.18 per USD 1.00 for information provided as of September 30, 2020. The U.S. dollar equivalent information presented in this Form 6-K is provided solely for the convenience of the reader and should not be construed as implying that the peso amounts represent, or could have been or could be converted into, U.S. dollars at such rates or at any other rate. The seller exchange rate quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina was ARS 84.70 per USD 1.00 as of January 4, 2021. See “Local Exchange Market and Exchange Rates” and “Risk Factors—Risks relating to Argentina—Continuing inflation may have an adverse effect on the economy and our business, financial condition and the results of our operations” in our 2020 Form 20-F.
 
Market Share Data
 
Information regarding market share in a specified region or area is based on data compiled by us from internal sources and from publications such as Bloomberg, the International Council of Shopping Centers, the Argentine Chamber of Shopping Centers (Cámara Argentina de Shopping Centers), and the INDEC.
 
Certain Measurements
 
In Argentina the standard measure of area in the real estate market is the square meter (m2), while in the United States and certain other jurisdictions the standard measure of area is the square foot (sq. ft.). All units of area shown in this annual report (e.g., gross leasable area of buildings (“GLA” or “gross leasable area”), and size of undeveloped land) are expressed in terms of square meters (“sqm” and “m2”). One square meter is equal to approximately 10.8 square feet. One hectare is equal to approximately 10,000 square meters and to approximately 2.47 acres.
 
In Argentina the standard measure of weight are the tons (“Tons,” “tons” or “Tns”) and kilograms (“kg” or “kgs”), while in the United States and certain other jurisdictions the standard measure of weight are the pound or the bushel. A metric ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms. A kilogram is equal to approximately 2.2 pounds. A metric ton of wheat is equal to approximately 36.74 bushels. A metric ton of corn is equal to approximately 39.37 bushels. A metric ton of soybean is equal to approximately 36.74 bushels. One kilogram of live weight cattle is equal to approximately 0.5 to 0.6 kilogram of carcass (meat and bones).
 
As used herein, GLA in the case of shopping malls refers to the total leasable area of the property, regardless of our ownership interest in such property (excluding common areas and parking and space occupied by supermarkets, hypermarkets, gas stations and co-owners, except where specifically stated).
 
Rounding Adjustments
 
Certain numbers and percentages included in this Form 6-K have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in various tables or other sections of this Form 6-K may vary slightly, and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

LOCAL EXCHANGE MARKET AND EXCHANGE RATES
 
The Argentine government has established a series of exchange control measures that restrict the free disposition of funds and the transfer of funds abroad. These measures significantly curtail access to the foreign exchange market Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios (“MULC”) by both individuals and private sector entities. This makes it necessary, among other things, to obtain prior approval from the Banco Central de la República Argentina (the “Central Bank”) to enter into certain foreign exchange transactions such as payments relating to royalties, services or fees payable to related parties of Argentine companies outside Argentina. For more information about exchange controls see, “Item 10. Additional Information—D. Exchange Controls” in our 2020 Form 20-F.

History
 
We were incorporated in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company engaged in the business of providing rural and urban loans in Argentina. We were incorporated to manage real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, our shares were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders and in 1960 were listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (“BASE”). During the 1960s and 1970s, our business shifted to exclusively agricultural activities.
 
In 1993 and 1994, Consultores Asset Management acquired, on behalf of certain investors, approximately 22% of our shares on the BASE. In late 1994, an investor group led by Consultores Asset Management (including Dolphin Fund plc.) acquired additional shares increasing their aggregate shareholding to approximately 51.4% of our outstanding shares. In 1997, we increased our capital through a rights offering and global public offering of ADRs representing our common shares and listed such ADRs on the NASDAQ. We started our agricultural activities with seven farmlands and 20,000 hectares under management.
 
In 2002, we acquired a 19.85% interest in IRSA, a real estate company related to certain shareholders of Cresud, and 2009, we increased its ownership percentage in IRSA to 55.64% and IRSA became Cresud’s directly principal subsidiary. As of June 30, 2020, we had a 61.95% equity interest in IRSA (without considering treasury shares) and a majority of our directors are also directors of IRSA. IRSA is one of Argentina’s largest real estate companies and is engaged in a range of diversified real estate activities including residential properties, office buildings, shopping malls and luxury hotels, as well as the sales and development residential properties, it has a 29.9% interest in Banco Hipotecario, one of the main financial institutions in the country, and selected investments outside of Argentina. Also, IRSA has international investments, both in the United States in relation to the lease of office buildings (Lipstick Building) and hotels, through “Condor” a hotel REIT in that country, and in Israel, through IDBD and DIC, one of the largest and most diversified investment groups of Israel, which, participates in numerous markets and industry sectors, including real estate, retail, agroindustry, insurance, telecommunications, among others.
 
In March 2008 we launched and offered to sell up to which 180 million shares. In the local and international markets, which were fully subscribed. In addition, each shareholder received, without additional cost, one warrant for each share subscribed. The proceeds allowed us to expand our international operations to Paraguay and Bolivia.
 
As of June 30, 2020, we owned, directly and through our subsidiaries, 26 farms, with a total area of 629,794 hectares distributed in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. In addition, we have the rights to hold approximately 132,000 hectares of land under concession for a 35-year period that can be extended for another 29 years.
 
In line with our international expansion strategy, in September of 2005 we participated in the creation of Brasilagro with the purpose of replicating our business model in Brazil. We created BrasilAgro together with our partners, Cape Town Llc, Tarpon Investimentos S.A., Tarpon Agro LLC, Agro Investments S.A. and Agro Managers S.A. On May 2, 2006, BrasilAgro’s shares were listed on the Novo Mercado of the Brazilian Stock Exchange (“BOVESPA”) with the symbol AGRO3 and on November 8, 2012, Brasilagro’s ADRs became listed on the NYSE, under the ticker LND. As of June 30, 2020, we held a 33.55% interest in Brasilagro’s stock capital, which, as of June 30, 2020 has 10 farmland properties and 215,330 hectares under management Brazil and Paraguay. On July 15, 2020, the Company, through its subsidiary Brasilagro, entered into an agreement for the sale of of 1,875 hectares (1,500 are production hectares) of the Jatobá Establishment.

Agricultural Business
 
As of September 30, 2020, we owned 26 farms with approximately 629,794 hectares distributed in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. During the fiscal year 2020 we used 91,575 hectares of the land we own for crop production, approximately 72,160 hectares are for cattle production, 85,000 hectares are for sheep production and approximately 23,205 hectares are leased to third parties for crop and cattle production.

In addition, we have the rights to hold approximately 132,000 hectares of land under concession for a 35-year period that can be extended for another 29 years. Out of this total, we have assigned 26,409 hectares for crop production and 2,993 hectares for cattle production. Also, during fiscal year 2020 ended on June 30, 2020, we leased 111,086 hectares to third parties for crop production and 12,365 hectares for cattle production.

Land Transformation and Sales
 
Land Acquisitions
 
We seek to increase our lands portfolio, through the acquisition of large areas of land with high potential for appreciation. We also aim to increase the productivity of the land by applying state-of-the-art technology to improve agricultural yields.
 
Several important intermediaries, with whom we usually work, bring farmlands available for sale to our attention. The decision to acquire farmlands is based on the assessment of a large number of factors. In addition to the land’s location, we normally carry out an analysis of soil and water, including the quality of the soil and its suitability for our intended use (crops, cattle, or milk production), classify the various sectors of the lot and the prior use of the farmland; analyze the improvements in the property, any easements, rights of way or other variables in relation to the property title; examine satellite photographs of the property (useful in the survey of soil drainage characteristics during the different rain cycles) and detailed comparative data regarding neighboring farms (generally covering a 50-km area). Based on the foregoing factors, we assess the farmland in terms of the sales price compared against the production potential of the land and capital appreciation potential. We consider that competition for the acquisition of farmlands is, in general, limited to small farmers for the acquisition of smaller lots, and that there is scarce competition for the acquisition of bigger lots.
 
During fiscal year 2020, our subsidiary BrasilAgro acquired the Serra Grande field of 4,500 hectares (2,900 hectacres of productive potential) in Piauí, Brazil. The purchase price is BRL 25 million, of which BRL 11 million was paid at closing. The balance of the purchase price will be paid in three equal annual installments
 
Land Sales
 
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.
 
Our subsidiary BrasilAgro sold 3 fractions of farms during fiscal year 2020 for an aggregate amount of BRL 84.2 million (approximately USD 20 million). In the first quarter it sold a fraction of 1,134 hectares of the “Jatobá” farm located in Jaborandi, State of Bahia, for an amount of BRL 22.7 million (BRL / ha 20,018). The farm was valued at BRL 1.7 million and the internal rate of return in dollars reached 7.0%. In the second quarter of the year, it completed the sale of a fraction of 85 hectares of the “Alto Taquarí” farm located in the state of Mato Grosso for BRL 5.5 million. The farm was valued in the books at BRL 1.2 million and the internal rate of return in dollars reached 13.0%. During the fourth quarter, BrasilAgro made an additional partial sale of 105 hectares of “Alto Taquarí” for the sum of BRL 11.0 million which had a book value of BRL 1.7 million and the internal rate of return in dollars reached 14.4% and another fraction of 1,875 hectarse of “Jatobá” farm was sold for BRL 45 million, which had a book value of BRL 3.5 million and the internal rate of return in dollars reached 5.0%. For more information see “Cresud’s Recent Developments - Jatobá sale”
 
Land productivity potential
 
We believe that our agricultural lands have significant productivity potential and, through the implementation of best agricultural practices and application of our accumulated knowledge and experience, we are able to enhance the value of our agricultural lands.
 
As of September 30, 2020, we owned land reserves in the region extending over more than 358,536 hectares of own farmlands that were purchased at very attractive prices. In addition, we have a concession 117,226 hectares reserved for future development We believe that there are technological tools available to improve productivity in these farms and, therefore, achieve appreciation in the long term. However, current or future environmental regulations could prevent us from fully developing our land reserves by requiring that we maintain part of this land as natural woodlands not to be used for production purposes.
 
During fiscal year 2020, we developed 12,705 hectares in the region: 5,774 hectares in Argentina; 2,354 hectares in Paraguay and 4,577 hectares in Brasil.

We seek to diversify our mix of products and the geographic location of our farmlands to achieve an adequate balance between the two principal risks associated with our activities: weather conditions and the fluctuations in the prices of commodities. In order to reduce such risks, we own and lease land in several areas of Argentina with different climate conditions that allow us to sow a diversified range of products. Our leased land for crops is mostly located in the Pampas region, a favorable area for crop production. The leased farms are previously studied by technicians who analyze future production expectations based on the historic use of the land. The initial duration of lease agreements is typically one or three seasons. Leases of farms for production of crops generally consist of lease agreements with payments based on a fixed amount of Pesos per hectare or sharecropping agreements with payments in kind based on a percentage of the crops obtained or a fixed amount of tons of crops obtained or their equivalent value in Pesos. The principal advantage of leasing farms is that leases do not require us to commit large amounts of capital to the acquisition of lands but allow us to increase our scale in the short term and reduce the risk of inclement weather. The disadvantage of this strategy is that the cost of leasing can increase over time, in part, because increased demand for leased land increases the price of leased land.
 
In order to increase our production yields, we use, besides state-of-the-art technology, labor control methods which imply the supervision of the seeding’s quality (density, fertilization, distribution, and depth), crop monitoring (determination of natural losses and losses caused by harvester) and verification of bagged crop quality. In this way, we work jointly with our suppliers to achieve the best management of inputs, water and soil.
 
Wheat seeding takes place from June to August, and harvesting takes place from December to January. Corn, soybean and sunflower are sown from September to December and are harvested from February to August. Crops are available to be sold as commodities after the harvest from December to June and we usually store part of our production until prices recover after the drop that normally takes place during the harvesting season. A major part of production, especially soybean, wheat, corn and sorghum, is sold and delivered to buyers pursuant to agreements in which price conditions are fixed by reference to the market price at a specific time in the future that we determine. The rest of the production is either sold at current market prices or delivered to cover any futures contract that we may have entered into.
 
Agro-Uranga S.A.
 
We have a 35.72% interest in AgroUranga S.A.. This company optimizes production processes with special emphasis in soil conservation, the application of rational techniques and care of the environment.
 
At present, with the assistance of its foreign trade team it is seeking to develop new products so as to significantly increase export volumes, encouraged by the world’s growing demand.
 
Lease of Farmlands
 
We conduct our business on owned and leased land. Rental payments increase our production costs, as the amounts paid as rent are accounted for as operating expenses. As a result, production costs per hectare of leased land are higher than for the land owned by us.
 
Our land leasing policy is designed to supplement our expansion strategy, using our liquidity to make production investments in our principal agricultural activities. On the other hand, our leasing strategy provides us with an added level of flexibility in the share of each of our products in total production, providing for greater diversification.
 
The initial duration of lease agreements is typically one crop season and sugarcane. Leases of farms for production of crops consist in lease agreements with payments based on a fixed amount of Pesos per hectare or sharecropping agreements with payments in kind based on a percentage of the crops obtained or a fixed amount of tons of crops obtained or their equivalent value in Pesos. Leases of farmlands for cattle breeding consist in lease agreements with fixed payments based on a fixed amount of Pesos per hectare or steer kilograms or capitalization agreements with payments in kind or in cash based on the weight gain in kilograms. Leases of farms for production of sugarcane consist in a percentage lease agreements and have a term of 15 years.
 
As of September 30 2020, we leased to third parties a total of 89 farmlands, covering 121,748 hectares, including 50,747 hectares in Brazil. Out of the total leased area 106,533 hectares were assigned to agricultural production including double crops, and 12,635 hectares to cattle raising. The properties for agricultural production were leased, primarily, for a fixed price prior to harvest and only a small percentage consisted of sharecropping agreements.
 
The following table shows a breakdown of the number of hectares of leased land used for each of our principal production activities:

Due to the rise in the price of land, we adopted a policy of not validating excessive prices and applying strict criteria upon adopting the decision to lease, selecting those lands with values that would ensure appropriate margins.

Cattle
 
Our cattle production involves the breeding and fattening of our own animals. In some cases, if market conditions are favorable, we also purchase and fatten cattle which we sell to slaughterhouses and supermarkets. As of September 2020, our cattle aggregated 90,539 heads, and we had a total surface area of 80,718 hectares of own and leased lands devoted to this business activity. In addition, we have leased to third parties 1,775 hectares assigned to these activities.
 
As of September 30, 2020, our production was 2,211 tons, a 5.4% year-on-year decrease. The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years indicated below, the cattle production volumes measured in tons:

(1) Production measured in tons of live weight. Production is the sum of the net increases (or decreases) during a given period in live weight of each head of cattle owned by us.
 
Our cattle breeding activities are carried out with breeding cows and bulls and our fattening activities apply to steer, heifers and calves. Breeding cows calve approximately once a year and their productive lifespan is from six to seven years. Six months after birth, calves are weaned and transferred to fattening pastures. Acquired cattle are directly submitted to the fattening process. Upon starting this process, cattle have been grazing for approximately one year to one and a half year in order to be fattened for sale. Steer and heifers are sold when they have achieved a weight of 380–430 kg and 280–295 kg, respectively, depending on the breed.

Pregnancy levels, which have been improving over the years, showed satisfactory levels of efficiency notwithstanding the adverse weather conditions. Genetics and herd management are expected to further improve pregnancy levels in the coming years. Reproductive indicators improved thanks to the implementation of technologies, which have included handling techniques and females’ artificial insemination with cattle genetics especially selected for the stock which is purchased from specialized companies in quality semen elaboration for meat production. We use veterinarian products manufactured by leading national and international laboratories. It is important to emphasize the work of a veterinarian advising committee, who is external to us and visits each establishment monthly to control and agree tasks.
 
Currently, the cattle raising farms are officially registered as export farmlands pursuant to the identification and traceability rules in force in Argentina. Animals are individually identified, thus allowing for the development of special businesses in this area.
 
Our cattle stock is organized into breeding and fattening activities. The following table shows, for the fiscal years indicated, the number of heads of cattle for each activity:

We seek to improve cattle production and quality in order to obtain a higher price through advanced breeding techniques. We cross breed our stock of Indicus, British (Angus and Hereford) and Continental breeds to obtain herds with characteristics better suited to the pastures in which they graze. To enhance the quality of our herds even further, we plan to continue improving our pastures through permanent investment in seeds and fertilizers, an increase in the watering troughs available in pastures, and the acquisition of round bailers to cut and roll grass for storage purposes.
 
Our emphasis on improving the quality of our herd also includes the use of animal health-related technologies. We comply with national animal health standards that include laboratory analyses and vaccination aimed at controlling and preventing disease in our herd, particularly FMD.
 
Direct costs of beef production consist primarily of crops for feeding and dietary supplementation purposes, animal health and payroll costs, among others.

Leases and Agricultural Services
 
We lease own farms to third parties for agriculture, cattle breeding and seed production, mainly in two types of farms. On the one hand, we lease our farms under irrigation in the Province of San Luis (Santa Bárbara and La Gramilla) to seed producers or enter into production agreements whereby we render production services to seed companies. These farms are ideal for obtaining steady production levels, given the quality of their soil and the weather conditions of the area, along with the even humidity provided by irrigation.
 
On the other hand, when market conditions are favorable, we lease farms recently put into production after agricultural development. In this way, we manage to reduce our production risk, ensuring fixed rental income until the new farms reach stable productivity levels.
 
In addition, in this segment we include the irrigation service we provide to our own farms leased to third parties.

Other segments 
 
This segment includes, principally, feedlot farming, slaughtering and processing in the meat refrigeration plant; among others. The segment “Other segments” aggregate the activities Agro-industrial and Others: 
 
Agro-industrial Activities
 
This activity consists in the slaughtering and processing of beef in meat packing plants.
 
Through our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas S.A. (“Carnes Pampeanas”) we own a meat packing plant in Santa Rosa, Province of La Pampa, with capacity to slaughter and process approximately 12,500 cattle heads per month.
 
During the last years, the smaller supply of cattle has adversely affected the value chain by reducing cold-storage plant utilization. This has left several plants struggling to remain operational in view of the poor returns and shortage of raw materials. Our investment in Carnes Pampeanas has not escaped unscathed of this situation.

Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A. (FyO)
 
Futuros y Opciones.com’s main business is crop trading (crop brokerage, futures and options, consulting and logistic and financial services) and sale and distribution of own inputs and third-party products.
 
As concerns the Crops business, revenues grew thanks to the increase in invoiced volumes and prices compared to the previous fiscal year. As well as the inputs business grew by 50% compared to the previous year, due to the consolidation of the nutritional specialties business.
 
During fiscal year 2020, increased efforts were made in the company’s cash flow analysis, generating financial income from the investments made. The financial services provided to our clients were also increased, allowing them access to capital market tools. Net financial income also increased favorably compared to the previous year due to the effect of the devaluation.
 
Concerning the goals for next year, the Crops business is expected to keep growing at the same pace as in the past years, aspiring to lead the crop trading business and differentiating ourselves in the services offered to clients. As concerns inputs, FyO’s goals include consolidating its suite of products, increasing sales, improving margins and focusing business on the sale of nutritional specialties for the soil. Other objectives include becoming a leading company in the knowledge of the crop’s markets, being digital innovators and expanding the company’s reach into the region.
 
AGROFY S.A.U.
 
Agrofy S.A.U. continued to position itself in 2020 as the leading online platform for agriculture in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, doubling the flow of annual visits and contacts per month when compared to the previous year. During this fiscal year, Agrofy raised USD 23 million of new equity capital, incorporating two new strategic investors while Cresud reduced its shareholding to 22.2% and BrasilAgro was incorporated as a shareholder with 1.9% of the capital stock. During the next fiscal year we will seek to continue and consolidate Agrody’s regional expansion strategy.

“Los Pozos” farm located 1,600 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires, in the Province of Salta, was acquired in May 1995. This property is located in a semi-arid area with average annual rainfall of 500 mm. The area is naturally suited to cattle raising and forestry activities (poles and fence posts), and it has agricultural potential for summer crops such as soybean, sorghum and corn, among others. As of September 30, 2020, we used 18,151 hectares in agricultural production. As of September 30, 2020, there were 32,509 heads of cattle in this farm.

Paraguay (through our subsidiary Brasilagro)
 
Marangatú / Udra
 
We own, through BrasilAgro, the “Marangatú/UDRA” farms, located in Mariscal José Félix Estigarribia, Department of Boquerón, Paraguayan Chaco, Republic of Paraguay, totaling 59,585 hectares, out of which 10,174 hectares have been allocated to agricultural production, 3,064 hectares to cattle production and 1,612 hectares were leased to thir parties.
 
Land Management
 
In contrast to traditional Argentine farms, run by families, we centralize policy making in an Executive Committee that meets on a weekly basis in Buenos Aires. Individual farm management is delegated to farm managers who are responsible for farm operations. The Executive Committee lays down commercial and production rules based on sales, market expectations and risk allocation.
 
We rotate the use of our pasture lands between agricultural production and cattle feeding and the frequency depends on the location and characteristics of the farmland. The use of preservation techniques (including exploitation by no till sowing) frequently allows us to improve farm performance.
 
Subsequent to the acquisition of the properties, we make investments in technology in order to improve productivity and increase the value of the property. It may be the case that upon acquisition, a given extension of the property is under-utilized or the infrastructure may be in need of improvement. We have invested in traditional fencing and in electrical fencing, watering troughs for cattle herds, irrigation equipment and machinery, among other things.

Principal Markets
 
Crops
 
Our crop production is mostly sold in the domestic market. The prices of our crops are based on the market prices quoted in Argentine grains exchanges such as the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange (Bolsa de Cereales de Buenos Aires) and the cereal exchanges in each country, which take as reference the prices in international grains markets. The largest part of this production is sold to exporters who offer and ship this production to the international market. Prices are quoted in relation to the month of delivery and the port in which the product is to be delivered. Different conditions in price, such as terms of storage and shipment, are negotiated between the end buyer and ourselves.
 
Cattle
 
Our cattle production is sold in the local market. The main buyers are slaughterhouses and supermarkets.
 
Prices in the cattle market in Argentina are basically fixed by local supply and demand. The Liniers Market (on the outskirts of the Province of Buenos Aires) provides a standard in price formation for the rest of the domestic market. In this market live animals are sold by auction on a daily basis. At Liniers Market, prices are negotiated by kilogram of live weight and are mainly determined by local supply and demand. Prices tend to be lower than in industrialized countries. Some supermarkets and meat packers establish their prices by kilogram of processed meat; in these cases, the final price is influenced by processing yields.
 
Customers
 
For the fiscal year 2020, our sales from the agribusiness segment (excluding sales of farms) were made to approximately 300 customers. Sales to our ten largest customers represented approximately 45% to 50% of our net sales. Some of these customers included Cargill, FASA, Bunge Alimentos S.A. and GLENCORE. We have signed non-binding letters of intent with some of our largest customers that allow us to estimate the volume of the demand for certain products and to plan production accordingly. We generally enter into short-term agreements with a term of less than a year.
 
Marketing Channels and Sales Methods
 
Crops
 
We normally work with grains brokers and other intermediaries to trade in the exchanges. We sell part of our production in advance through futures contracts and buy and sell options to hedge against a drop in prices. Approximately 87% of the futures and options contracts are closed through the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange and 13% in the Chicago Board of Trade for hedging purposes.
 
Our storage capabilities allow us to condition and store crops with no third-party involvement and thus to capitalize the fluctuations in the price of commodities. In addition, we store crops in silo bags. On the other hand, in Brazil we have a total storage capacity of 10,279 tons.
 
Cattle
 
We have several marketing channels. We sell directly to local meat processors and supermarkets, as well as in markets and auctions. Our customers include Carnes Pampeanas, Frigorífico Bermejo, Arre Beef S.A., Sáenz Valiente Bullrich, and Colombo y Magliano S.A. Prices are based on the price at Liniers Market.
 
We are usually responsible for the costs of the freight to the market and, in general, we pay commissions on our transactions.
 
Inputs
 
The current direct cost of our production of crops varies in relation to each crop and normally includes the following costs: tillage, seeds, agrochemicals and fertilizers. We buy in bulk and store seeds, agrochemicals and fertilizers to benefit from discounts offered during off-season sales.
 
Competition
 
The agricultural and livestock sector is highly competitive, with a huge number of producers. We are one of the leading producers in Argentina and the region. However, if we compare the percentage of our production to the country’s total figures, our production would appear as extremely low, since the agricultural market is highly atomized. Our leading position improves our bargaining power with suppliers and customers. In general, we obtain discounts in the region in the acquisition of raw materials and an excess price in our sales.
 
Historically, there have been few companies competing for the acquisition and leases of farmlands for the purpose of benefiting from land appreciation and optimization of yields in the different commercial activities. However, we anticipate the possibility that new companies, some of them international, may become active players in the acquisition of farmlands and the leases of sown land, which would add players to the market in coming years.
 
Seasonality
 
As is the case with any company in the agro-industrial sector, our business activities are inherently seasonal. Harvest and sales of crops (corn, soybean and sunflower) in general take place from February to June. Wheat is harvested from December to January. With respect to our international market, in Bolivia climate conditions allow a double season of soybean, corn and sorghum production and, accordingly, these crops are harvested in April and October, while wheat and sunflower are harvested during August and September, respectively. Other segments of our activities, such as our sales of cattle and our forestry activities tend to be more of a successive character than of a seasonal character. However, the production of beef is generally higher during the second quarter, when pasture conditions are more favorable. In consequence, there may be significant variations in results from one quarter to the other.
 
Regulation and Governmental Supervision of our Agricultural Business
 
Farming and Animal Husbandry Agreements
 
According to Law No. 13,246, as amended by Law No. 22,298, all lease agreements related to rural properties and land are required to have a minimum duration of 3 years, except in the case of those designated as “accidental agreements” pursuant to Section 39, subsection a), Law No. 13,246. Upon death of the tenant farmer, the agreement may continue with his successors. Upon misuse of the land by the tenant farmer or default in payment of the rent, the land owner may initiate an eviction proceeding.
 
Law No. 13,246, amended by Law No. 22,298, also regulates sharecropping agreements pursuant to which one of the parties furnishes the other with animals or land for the purpose of sharing benefits between the parties. These agreements are required to have a minimum term of duration of 3 years, although the rule of Section 39 of Law No. 13,246 on accidental agreements for smaller terms also applies in this case. The agreement is not assignable under any circumstance whatsoever, unless expressly agreed by the parties. Upon death, disability of the tenant farmer or other impossibility, the agreement may be terminated.
 
Quality control of Crops and Cattle
 
The quality of the crops and the health measures applied on the cattle are regulated and controlled by the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria (“SENASA”), which is an entity within the Agro-industry Ministry that oversees farming and animal sanitary activities.
 
Argentine law establishes that the brands should be registered with each provincial registry and that there cannot be brands alike within the same province.
 
Sale and Transportation of Cattle
 
Even though the sale of cattle is not specifically regulated, general contract provisions are applicable. Further, every province has its own rural code regulating the sale of cattle.
 
Argentine law establishes that the transportation of cattle is lawful only when it is done with the respective certificate that specifies the relevant information about the cattle. The required information for the certificate is established by the different provincial regulations, the inter-provinces treaties and the regulations issued by the SENASA.
 
Export Restriction of Beef
 
In addition, the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Products, within the orbit of the Ministry of Economy and Public Finance, oversees the farming and animal sanitary activities.
 
The Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Products is in charge of distributing the annual regular quota of top quality chilled beef without bones, the “Cuota Hilton.” The destination of the Cuota Hilton is the European Union.
 
The Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Products granted to our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas up to 1,420 tons to export beef under the Cuota Hilton for the July 2019-June 2020 period.

Environment
 
The development of our agribusiness activities depends on a number of federal, provincial and municipal laws and regulations related to environmental protection.
 
We may be subject to criminal and administrative penalties, including taking action to reverse the adverse impact of our activities on the environment and to reimburse third parties for damages resulting from contraventions of environmental laws and regulations. Under the Argentine Criminal Code, persons (including directors, officers and managers of corporations) who commit crimes against public health, such as poisoning or dangerously altering water, food or medicine used for public consumption and selling products that are dangerous to health, without the necessary warnings, may be subject to fines, imprisonment or both. Some courts have enforced these provisions in the Argentine Criminal Code to sanction the discharge of substances which are hazardous to human health. At the administrative level, the penalties vary from warnings and fines to the full or partial suspension of the activities, which may include the revocation or annulment of tax benefits, cancellation or interruption of credit lines granted by state banks and a prohibition against entering into contracts with public entities.
 
The Forestry Legislation of Argentina prohibits the devastation of forests and forested lands, as well as the irrational use of forest products. Landowners, tenants and holders of natural forests require an authorization from the Forestry Competent Authority for the cultivation of forest land. The legislation also promotes the formation and conservation of natural forests in properties used for agriculture and farming purposes.
 
In accordance with legislative requirements, we have applied for approval to develop certain parts of our land reserves and were authorized to develop them partially and to maintain other areas as land reserves. We cannot assure you that current or future development applications will be approved, and if so, to what extent we will be allowed to develop our land reserves. We intend to use genetically modified organisms in our agricultural activities. In Argentina, the development of genetically modified organisms is subject to special laws and regulations and special permits.
 
On November 28, 2007, the Argentine Congress passed a law known as the Forest Law which sets minimum standards for the conservation of native forests and incorporates minimum provincial expenditures to promote the protection, restoration, conservation and sustainable use of native forests. The Forest Law prevents landowners, including owners of native forests, from deforesting or converting forested areas into non-forested land for other commercial uses without prior permission from each local government that gives the permit and requires the preparation, assessment and approval of an environmental impact report. The Forest Law also provides that each province should adopt its own legislation and regional regulation map within a term of one year. Until such provincial implementation is carried into effect, no new areas may be deforested. In addition, the Forest Law also establishes a national policy for sustainable use of native forests and includes the recognition of native communities and aims to provide preferential use rights to indigenous communities living and farming near the forest. In case a project affects such communities, the relevant provincial authority may not issue permits without formal public hearings and written consent of the communities.
 
Besides, the Rules issued by the CNV provide that publicly traded companies whose corporate purpose includes environmentally hazardous activities should report to their shareholders, investors and the general public their compliance with the applicable environmental laws and risks inherent to such activities, so as to be able to reasonably assess such hazards.
 
Our activities are subject to a number of national, provincial and municipal environmental regulations. Section 41 of the Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, provides that all Argentine inhabitants have the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development and have the duty to preserve it. Environmental damage shall bring about primarily the obligation to redress it as provided by applicable law. The authorities shall protect this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of biodiversity, and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The National Government shall establish minimum standards for environmental protection and Provincial and Municipal Governments shall determine specific standards and issue the applicable regulations.
 
On November 6, 2009, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675. This law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and sets environmental policy goals. Moreover, Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, the Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and imposes the obligation to restore it to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, to pay a compensation in lieu thereof. The Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum obligations to be fulfilled by natural and artificial persons.
 
Leases
 
Laws and regulations governing the acquisition and transfer of real estate, as well as municipal zoning ordinances, are applicable to the development and operation of the Company’s properties.
 
Currently, Argentine law does not specifically regulate shopping mall lease agreements. Since our shopping mall leases generally differ from ordinary commercial leases, we have created provisions which govern the relationship with our shopping mall tenants.
 
Argentine law imposes certain restrictions on property owners, including:
 
●
a prohibition to include price indexation clauses based on inflation increases in lease agreements; and
 
●
a two-year minimum lease term is established for all purposes, except in particular cases such as embassy, consulate or international organization venues, room with furniture for touristic purposes for less than three months, custody and bailment of goods, exhibition or offering of goods in fairs or in cases where they are entered into for a specific purpose expressly stated in the agreement that is usually fulfilled within an agreed shorter term.
 
Rent Increase
 
In addition, there are at present contradictory court rulings with respect to whether the rent price can or cannot be increased during the term of the lease agreement. Most of our lease agreements have incremental rent increase clauses that are not based on any official index. As of the date of this document, no tenant has filed any legal action against us challenging incremental rent increases, but we cannot assure that such actions will not be filed in the future and, if any such actions were successful, that they will not have an adverse effect on our company.
 
Limits on lease terms
 
Under the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code lease terms may not exceed fifty years, irrespective of the intended use of the property (save in case of residential use, where the maximum term is twenty years). Generally, terms in its lease agreements go from 3 to 10 years.
 
Early termination rights
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code provides that tenants of properties may declare the early termination of lease agreements after the first six months of the effective date. Such termination is subject to penalties which range from one to one and a half months of rent. If the tenant terminates the agreement during the first year of the lease, the penalty is one and a half month’s rent and, if the termination occurs after the first year of lease, the penalty is one month’s rent.
 
It should be noted that the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code became effective on August 1, 2015 and that, among other rules, it repealed the Urban Lease Law (No. 23,091), which provided for a rule similar to the one described above, but (i) it established the obligation to give at least 60 days’ prior notice of exercise of the early termination right by the tenant; and (ii) it set forth in its Section 29 that its provisions were mandatory. There are no court rulings yet with respect to the new regulations related to: (i) unilateral right to termination by tenant; i.e. whether the parties may waive the tenant’s right to terminate the agreement unilaterally; or in relation to (ii) the possibility of establishing a penalty different from the penalty described above in the event of unilateral termination by the lessee.
 
Other
 
Most of our leases provide that the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to the property in proportion to their respective leasable areas. In the event of a significant increase in the amount of such costs and taxes, the Argentine government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby adversely affecting our rental income. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Procedural Code enables the lessor to pursue collection of outstanding rental payments through an “executory proceeding” upon lessee’s payment default. In executory proceedings debtors have fewer defenses available to prevent foreclosure, making these proceedings substantially shorter than ordinary ones. In executory proceedings, the origin of the debt is not under discussion; the trial focuses on the formalities of debt instrument itself. The Procedural Code also permits special eviction proceedings, which are carried out in the same way as ordinary proceedings. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code requires that a notice be given to the tenant demanding payment of the amounts due in the event of breach prior to eviction, of no less than ten days for leases for residential purposes, and establishes no limitation or minimum notice for leases for other purposes. However, historically, large court dockets and numerous procedural hurdles have resulted in significant delays to eviction proceedings, which generally last from six months to two years from the date of filing of the suit to the time of actual eviction.
 
Development and Use of the Land
 
Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code. Our real estate activities are subject to several municipal zoning, building, occupation and environmental regulations. In the City of Buenos Aires, where the vast majority of the real estate properties are located, the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code (Código de Planeamiento Urbano de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) generally restricts the density and use of property and controls physical features of improvements on property, such as height, design, set-back and overhang, consistent with the city’s urban landscape policy. The administrative agency in charge of the Urban Planning Code is the Secretary of Urban Planning of the City of Buenos Aires.
 
Buenos Aires Building Code. The Buenos Aires Building Code (Código de Edificación de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) supplements the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code and regulates the structural use and development of property in the City of Buenos Aires. The Buenos Aires Building Code requires builders and developers to file applications for building permits, including the submission to the Secretary of Work and Public Services (Secretaría de Obras y Servicios Públicos) of architectural plans for review, to assure compliance therewith.
 
We believe that all of our real estate properties are in material compliance with all relevant laws, ordinances and regulations.

Sales and Ownership
 
Buildings Law. Buildings Law No. 19,724 (Ley de Pre horizontalidad) was repealed by the new Argentine Civil and Commercial Code which became effective on August 1, 2015. The new regulations provide that for purposes of execution of agreements with respect to built units or units to be built under this regime, the owner is required to purchase insurance in favor of prospective purchasers against the risk of frustration of the operation pursuant to the agreement for any reason. A breach of this obligation prevents the owner from exercising any right against the purchaser – such as demanding payment of any outstanding installments due – unless he/she fully complies with his/her obligations, but does not prevent the purchaser from exercising its rights against seller.
 
Protection for the Disabled Law. The Protection for the Disabled Law No. 22,431, enacted on March 20, 1981, as amended, provides that in connection with the construction and renovation of buildings, obstructions to access must be eliminated in order to enable access by handicapped individuals. In the construction of public buildings, entrances, transit pathways and adequate facilities for mobility-impaired individuals must be provided for.
 
Buildings constructed before the enforcement of the Protection for the Disabled Law must be adapted to provide accesses, transit pathways and adequate facilities for mobility-impaired individuals.
 
Those pre-existing buildings, which due to their architectural design may not be adapted to the use by mobility-impaired individuals, are exempted from the fulfillment of these requirements.
 
The Protection for the Disabled Law provides that residential buildings must ensure access by mobility-impaired individuals to elevators and aisles. Architectural requirements refer to pathways, stairs, ramps and parking.
 
Real Estate Installment Sales Law. The Real Estate Installment Sales Law No. 14,005, as amended by Law No. 23,266 and Decree No. 2015/85, imposes a series of requirements on contracts for the sale of subdivided real estate property regarding, for example, the sale price which is paid in installments and the deed, which is not conveyed until final payment of such price. The provisions of this law require, among other things:
 
The registration of the intention to sell the property in subdivided plots with the Real Estate Registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmueble) corresponding to the jurisdiction of the property. Registration will only be possible with regard to unencumbered property. Mortgaged property may only be registered where creditors agree to divide the debt in accordance with the subdivided plots. However, creditors may be judicially compelled to agree to the division.
 
The preliminary registration with the Real Estate Registry of the purchase instrument within 30 days of execution of the agreements.
 
Once the property is registered, the installment sale may not occur in a manner inconsistent with the Real Estate Installment Sales Law, unless seller registers its decision to desist from the sale in installments with the Real Estate Registry. In the event of a dispute over the title between the purchaser and third-party creditors of the seller, the installment purchaser who has duly registered the purchase instrument with the Real Estate Registry will obtain the deed to the plot. Further, the purchaser can demand conveyance of title after at least 25% of the purchase price has been paid, although the seller may demand a mortgage to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price.
 
After payment of 25% of the purchase price or the construction of improvements on the property equal to at least 50% of the property value, the Real Estate Installment Sales Law prohibits the termination of the sales contract for failure by the purchaser to pay the balance of the purchase price. However, in such event, the seller may take action under any mortgage on the property.
 
Other Regulations
 
Consumer Relationship. Consumer or End User Protection. The Argentine Constitution expressly establishes in Section 42 that consumers and users of goods and services have a right to protection of health, safety and economic interests in a consumer relationship. Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240, as amended, regulates several issues concerning the protection of consumers and end users in a consumer relationship, in the arrangement and execution of contracts.
 
The Consumer Protection Law, and the applicable sections of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code are intended to regulate the constitutional right conferred under the Constitution on the weakest party of the consumer relationship and prevent potential abuses deriving from the stronger bargaining position of vendors of goods and services in a mass-market economy where standard form contracts are widespread.
 
As a result, the Consumer Protection Law and the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code deem void and unenforceable certain contractual provisions included in consumer contracts entered into with consumers or end users, including those which:
 
●
deprive obligations of their nature or limit liability for damages;
 
●
imply a waiver or restriction of consumer rights and an extension of seller rights; and
 
●
impose the shifting of the burden of proof against consumers.
 
In addition, the Consumer Protection Law imposes penalties ranging from warnings to fines from ARS 100 to ARS 5,000,000, the seizure of merchandise, closing down of establishments for a term of up to thirty (30) days, suspension of up to 5 years in the State suppliers register, the forfeiture of concession rights, privileges, tax regimes or special credits to which the sanctioned party was entitled. These penalties may be imposed separately or jointly.
 
The Consumer Protection Law and the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code define consumers or end users as the individuals or legal entities that acquire or use goods or services free of charge or for a price for their own final use or benefit or that of their family or social group. In addition, both laws provide that those who though not being parties to a consumer relationship as a result thereof acquire or use goods or services, for consideration or for non-consideration, for their own final use or that of their family or social group are entitled to such protection rights in a manner comparable to those engaged in a consumer relationship.
 
In addition, the Consumer Protection Law defines the suppliers of goods and services as the individuals or legal entities, either public or private, that in a professional way, even occasionally, produce, import, distribute or commercialize goods or supply services to consumers or users.
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code defines a consumer agreement as such agreement that is entered into between a consumer or end user and an individual or legal entity that acts professionally or occasionally or a private or public company that manufactures goods or provides services, for the purpose of acquisition, use or enjoyment of goods or services by consumers or users for private, family or social use.
 
It is important to point out that the protection under the laws afforded to consumers and end users encompasses the entire consumer relationship process (from the offering of the product or service) and it is not only based on a contract, including the consequences thereof.
 
In addition, the Consumer Protection Law establishes a joint and several liability system under which for any damages caused to consumers, if resulting from a defect or risk inherent in the thing or the provision of a service, the producer, manufacturer, importer, distributor, supplier, seller and anyone who has placed its trademark on the thing or service shall be liable.
 
The Consumer Protection Law excludes the services supplied by professionals that require a college degree and registration in officially recognized professional organizations or by a governmental authority. However, this law regulates the advertisements that promote the services of such professionals.
 
The Consumer Protection Law determines that the information contained in the offer addressed to undetermined prospective consumers, binds the offeror during the period in which the offer takes place and until its public revocation. Further, it determines that specifications included in advertisements, announcements, prospectuses, circulars or other media bind the offeror and are considered part of the contract entered into by the consumer.
 
Pursuant to Resolution No. 104/05 issued by the Secretariat of Technical Coordination reporting to the Argentine Ministry of Economy, the Consumer Protection Law adopted Resolution No. 21/2004 issued by the Mercosur’s Common Market Group which requires that those who engage in commerce over the Internet (E-Business) shall disclose in a precise and clear manner the characteristics of the products and/or services offered and the sale terms. Failure to comply with the terms of the offer is deemed an unjustified denial to sell and gives rise to sanctions.
 
On September 17, 2014, a new Consumer Protection Law was enacted by the Argentine Congress –Law No. 26,993–. This law, known as “System for Conflict Resolution in Consumer Relationships,” provided for the creation of new administrative and judicial procedures for this field of Law. It created a two-instance administrative system: the Preliminary Conciliation Service for Consumer Relationships (Servicio de Conciliación Previa en las Relaciones de Consumo, COPREC) and the Consumer Relationship Audit, and a number of courts assigned to resolution of conflicts between consumers and producers of goods and services (Fuero Judicial Nacional de Consumo). In order to file a claim, the amount so claimed should not exceed a fixed amount equivalent to 55 adjustable minimum living wages, which are determined by the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security. The claim is required to be filed with the administrative agency. If an agreement is not reached between the parties, the claimant may file the claim in court. The administrative system known as Preliminary Conciliation Service for Consumer Relationships (COPREC) is currently in full force and effect. However, the court system (fuero judicial nacional de consumo) is not in force yet, therefore, any court claims should be currently filed with the existing applicable courts. A considerable volume of claims filed against us are expected to be settled pursuant to the system referred to above, without disregarding the full force and effect of different instances for administrative claims existing in the provincial sphere and the City of Buenos Aires, which remain in full force and effect, where potential claims related to this matter could also be filed.

Antitrust Law
 
Law No. 27,442, as amended, or the “Antitrust Law,” prevents collusive practices by market participants and requires administrative approval for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law constitute an economic concentration. According to this law, mergers, transfers of goodwill, acquisitions of property or rights over shares, capital or other convertible securities, or similar transactions by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences a company, are considered as an economic concentration. Whenever an economic concentration involves a company or companies and the aggregate volume of business in Argentina of the companies concerned exceeds 100 million mobile units, the respective concentration must be submitted for approval to the CNDC. The request for approval may be filed, either prior to the transaction or the implementing of the control take.
 
For the purpose of determining the volume of the business mentioned on the paragraph before, the CNDC will annually inform the amount in legal currency that will apply during the corresponding year. For that purpose, the CNDC will consider the mobile unit value current at the last business day of the previous year. When a request for approval is filed, the CNDC may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) subordinate the transaction to the accomplishment of certain conditions or (iii) reject the authorization.
 
The Antitrust Law provides that economic concentrations in which the transaction amount and the value of the assets subject to acquisition or disposition do not exceed 20 million mobile units each do not require approval. When the amount of the transactions consummated in the preceding 12 months exceeds in aggregate 20 million mobile units or 60 million mobile units in the preceding 36 months, these transactions require CNDC approval.
 
As our consolidated annual sales volume and our parent’s consolidated annual sales volume exceed ARS 812,000,000, we are required to notice to the CNDC of any concentration provided for by the Antitrust Law; provided that no exception to the notice requirement under the Antitrust Law is applicable.
 
Taxes on the Transfer of Property and Sale of Meat and Grains
 
Value Added Tax (VAT). VAT is a federal tax that applies mainly to the (i) sale of goods located in Argentina; (ii) provision of services within Argentina; (iii) final import of goods and services (services rendered outside Argentina to persons registered as domestic VAT taxpayers that are economically used or exploited inside the country); and (iv) digital services provided by a foreign company or individuals that are economically used or exploited inside the country. Services rendered inside Argentina deemed to be used or exploited outside the country are not subject to VAT (export of services) and exports are exempted to pay VAT.
 
VAT is paid at each stage of the chain of production or distribution of goods or services. The general tax rate is 21%.
 
The value added tax law imposes a reduced rate, equal to 10.5% on the sale price of on the sale price of live animals (including cattle, sheep, camels and goats, among others) as well as their meat and edible remains, fruits and vegetables, all of which whether fresh, chilled, or frozen, which have not undergone any cooking or manufacturing process turning them into a manufactured product. This 10.5% reduced rate is also applicable to the sale of grains (cereals and oilseeds, excluding rice), and dry pulses (beans, peas, and lentils). In the case of milk, the sale is subject to a 21% rate (except for sales to final consumers, the federal government, the provinces, municipalities or the City of Buenos Aires or any subordinate agencies, school or university kitchens, health funds or entities under the scope of paragraphs e), f), g) and m) of Section 20 of the Income Tax Law, which are exempt).
 
The sale of land and immovable property is not subject to this tax.
 
Gross Income Tax. This is a local tax (collected by the provinces and the City of Buenos Aires) that levies onerous activities (habitually activities) carried out within a province or the City of Buenos Aires. The taxable base is the gross income derived from said activities.
 
When the same business is developed in more than one jurisdiction, the tax is applicable pursuant to the regulations set forth in the Multilateral Agreement, which distributes taxable base among the different jurisdictions, in accordance with certain parameters (usually, attribution of income or expenses to each jurisdiction), which is relevant for taxpayers that carry out activities in several jurisdictions, and is applicable in order to avoid double taxation.
 
In the City of Buenos Aires, gross income derived from livestock raising and milk production are subject to this tax at a general rate of 0.75%. In certain provinces, the sale of primary goods is not taxable.
 
Stamp Tax. This is a local tax that 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires collect based on similar rules regarding subject matter, tax base and rates. In general, this tax is levied on instrumented acts, i.e. executed and delivered by means of documents (e.g. acts related to the constitution, transmission, or expiration of rights, contracts, contracts for sales of stock and company shares, public deeds relating to real property, etc.).
 
In the City of Buenos Aires (federal district) the stamp tax rate applicable to the transfer by public deed of real property is 3.6% and 2% in the Province of Buenos Aires. The purchase and sale of real property through public deed, however, is not taxable in the province and the City of Buenos Aires –up to a certain value of the property- if the real estate is used for permanent dwelling purposes, and provided that it is the only property owned by the purchaser.
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
Shopping Malls
 
As of September 30, 2020, IRSA CP owned a majority interest in and operated, a portfolio of 15 shopping malls in Argentina, six of which are located in the City of Buenos Aires (Abasto, Alcorta Shopping, Alto Palermo Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Dot Baires Shopping and Distrito Arcos), two are located in the greater Buenos Aires area (Alto Avellaneda and Soleil Premium Outlet), and the rest are located in different provinces of Argentina (Alto Noa in the City of Salta, Alto Rosario in the City of Rosario, Mendoza Plaza in the City of Mendoza, Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera and Patio Olmos (operated by a third party) in the City of Córdoba, La Ribera Shopping in Santa Fe (through a joint venture) and Alto Comahue in the City of Neuquén).
 
The shopping malls we operate comprise a total of 333,345 sqm of GLA (excluding certain spaces occupied by hypermarkets which are not our tenants). Total tenant sales in our shopping malls, as reported by retailers, were ARS 75,321 million for fiscal year 2020 and ARS 101,665 million for fiscal year 2019, a decrease of 25.9% in real terms (+6.7% in nominal terms). The greatest impact of this drop was evidenced in the first quarter of the year because of the closure of operations due to the lockdown decreed in Argentina on March 20, 2020 as a consequence of COVID19. Tenant sales at our shopping malls are relevant to our revenues and profitability because it is an important factor in determining rent our tenants pay. Sales also affect tenant’s overall occupancy costs as a percentage of that tenant’s sales.

Principal Terms of our Leases
 
Under the Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina, the term of our leases cannot exceed twenty years for the residential destination and fifty years for the other destinations.
 
Leasable space in our shopping malls is marketed through an exclusive arrangement with our wholly owned subsidiary and real estate broker Fibesa S.A., or “Fibesa.” We use a standard lease agreement for most tenants at our shopping malls, the terms and conditions of which are described below. However, our largest or “anchor” tenants generally negotiate better terms for their respective leases. No assurance can be given that lease terms will be as set forth in the standard lease agreement.
 
Rent amount specified in our leases generally is the higher of (i) a monthly Base Rent and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly gross sales in the store, which generally ranges between 3% and 12% of tenant’s gross sales. In addition, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most of our leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 18% and 28% on a semi-annually and cumulative basis from the thirteenth (13th) month of effectiveness of the lease. Although many of our lease agreements contain price adjustment provisions, these are not based on an official index nor do they reflect the inflation index. In the event of litigation, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enforce such clauses contained in our lease agreements. These terms and conditions have not been applied during a period when the shopping malls remained closed due to the Social, Preventive and Mandatory Isolation decreed by the government of Argentina as a result of the novel COVID-19 virus since IRSA CP decided to defer the billing and collection of the Base Rent until September 30, 2020, with some exceptions and IRSA CP alsos suspended collection of the collective promotion fund during the same period, prioritizing the long-term relationship with its tenants.
 
In addition to rent, we charge most of our tenants an admission right, which must be paid upon execution of the lease agreement and upon its renewal. The admission right is normally paid as a lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments. If the tenants pay this fee in installments, the tenants are responsible for paying the balance of any such unpaid amount if they terminate the lease prior to its expiration. In the event of unilateral termination and/or resolution for breach by the tenants, tenants will not be refunded their admission payment without our consent. We lease our stores, kiosks and spaces in our shopping malls through our wholly-owned subsidiary Fibesa. We charge our tenants a fee for the brokerage services, which usually amounts to approximately three months of the Base Rent plus the admission right.
 
We are responsible, except in the mall Distrito Arcos, for providing each unit within our shopping malls with electricity, a main telephone switchboard, central air conditioning and a connection to a general fire detection system. We also provide the food court tenants with sanitation and with gas systems connections. In Distrito Arcos, the connections are managed by the tenants. Each tenant is responsible for completing all necessary installations within its rental unit, in addition to paying direct related expenses, including electricity, water, gas, telephone and air conditioning. Tenants must also pay for a percentage of total expenses and general taxes related to common areas. We determine this percentage based on different factors. The common area expenses include, among others, administration, security, operations, maintenance, cleaning and taxes.
 
We carry out promotional and marketing activities to draw consumer traffic to our shopping malls. These activities are paid for with the tenants’ contributions to the Collective Promotion Fund, or “CPF,” which is administered by us. Tenants are required to contribute 15% of their rent (Base Rent plus Percentage Rent) to the CPF. We may increase the percentage tenants must contribute to the CPF with up to 25% of the original amount set forth in the corresponding lease agreement for the contributions to the CPF. We may also require tenants to make extraordinary contributions to the CPF to fund special promotional and marketing campaigns or to cover the costs of special promotional events that benefit all tenants. We may require tenants to make these extraordinary contributions up to four times a year provided that each extraordinary contribution may not exceed 25% of the tenant’s preceding monthly lease payment.
 
Each tenant leases its rental unit as a shell without any fixtures and is responsible for the interior design of its rental unit. Any modifications and additions to the rental units must be pre-approved by us. We have the option to charge the tenant for all costs incurred in remodeling the rental units and for removing any additions made to the rental unit when the lease expires. Furthermore, tenants are responsible for obtaining adequate insurance for their rental units, which must cover, among other things, damage caused by fire, glass breakage, theft, flood, civil liability and workers’ compensation.
 
Insurance
 
We and our subsidiary IRSA CP carry all-risk insurance for the shopping malls and other buildings covering property damage caused by fire, terrorist acts, explosion, gas leak, hail, storms and wind, earthquakes, vandalism, theft and business interruption. In addition, we carry liability insurance covering any potential damage to third parties or property caused by the conduct of our business throughout Argentina. We and our subsidiary IRSA CP are in compliance with all legal requirements related to mandatory insurance, including insurance required by the Occupational Risk Law (Ley de Riesgos del Trabajo), life insurance required under collective bargaining agreements and other insurance required by laws and executive orders. IRSA CP’s and our history of damages is limited to one single claim resulting from a fire in Alto Avellaneda Shopping in March 2006, which loss was substantially recovered from our insurers. These insurance policies contain specifications, limits and deductibles which we believe are adequate to the risks to which we are exposed in our daily operations. We and our subsidiary IRSA CP also maintain liability insurance covering the liability of our directors and corporate officers.
 
Control Systems
 
IRSA CP has computer systems equipped to monitor tenants’ sales (except stands) in all of its shopping malls. IRSA CP also conduct regular audits of our tenants’ accounting sales records in all of our shopping malls. Almost every store in its shopping malls has a point of sale that is linked to our main server. IRSA CP uses the information generated from the computer monitoring system to prepare statistical data regarding, among other things, total sales, average sales and peak sale hours for marketing purposes and as a reference for the internal audit. Most of its shopping mall lease agreements require the tenant to have its point of sale system linked to our server. During this fiscal year, we signed an agreement to renew our payment terminals with contactless technology (Clover).
 
Competition
 
We are the largest owner and operator of shopping malls, offices and other commercial properties in Argentina in terms of gross leasable area and number of rental properties. Given that most of our shopping malls are located in highly populated areas, there are competing shopping malls within, or in close proximity to, our targeted areas, as well as stores located on avenues or streets. The number of shopping malls in a particular area could have a material effect on our ability to lease space in our shopping malls and on the amount of rent that we are able to charge. We believe that due to the limited availability of large plots of land and zoning restrictions in the City of Buenos Aires, it is difficult for other companies to compete with us in areas through the development of new shopping malls. Our principal competitor is Cencosud S.A. which owns and operates Unicenter Shopping and the Jumbo hypermarket chain, among others.

Seasonality
 
IRSA CP’s business is directly related with seasonality, affecting the level of our tenants’ sales. During summer holidays (January and February) our tenants’ sales reach their minimum level, whereas during winter holidays (July) and in December (Christmas) they reach their maximum level. Clothing stores generally change their collections in spring and autumn, positively affecting our shopping malls’ sales. Sales at discount prices at the end of each season are also one of the main sources of impact on our business.

Offices
 
According to Colliers International, as of September 30, 2020, the A+ and A office inventory is 1,827,742 sqm. The vacancy rate was steady at approximately 14.2% during the third quarter of 2020. These values indicate that the market is healthy in terms of its operations, allowing an optimum level of supply with robust values.
 
Compared to the previous quarter, the Premium Offices prices increased in the order of USD 25.5 per square meter compared to the previous quarter. The prices for A+ properties were USD 30.0 per square meter for the second quarter of 2020. In this context, Catalinas presents as the zone with higher prices per square meter, reaching an average of USD 29.2. Likewise, the industry reported a USD/m2 1.2 decreased in rental prices for A+ properties compared to the second quarter of 2020.
 
Management of office buildings
 
We generally act as the manager of the office properties in which we own an interest. We typically own the entire building or a substantial number of floors in the building. The buildings in which we own floors are generally managed pursuant to the terms of a condominium agreement that typically provides for control by a simple majority of the interests based on owned area. As building manager, we handle services such as security, maintenance and housekeeping, which are generally outsourced. The cost of the services is passed through to, and paid for by, the tenants, except in the case of our units that have not been leased, if any, for which we bear the cost. We market our leasable area through commissioned brokers or directly by us.
 
Leases
 
We usually lease our offices by using contracts with an average term between three to ten years. Contracts for the rental of office buildings and other commercial properties are generally stated in U.S. dollars. Rental rates for renewed periods are negotiated at market value.

Hotels
 
According to the Hotel Vacancy Survey (EOH) prepared by INDEC, at September 2020, overnight stays at hotel and parahotel establishments were estimated at 140 thousand, 96.3% shorter than the same month the previous year. Overnight stays by resident and nonresident travelers decreased by 95.4% and 99.4%, respectively. Total travelers who stayed at hotels during June were 47 thousand, a 97.2% decrease compared to the same month the previous year. The number of resident and nonresident travelers decreased by 96.5% and 99.7%, respectively. The Room Occupancy Rate in September was 80.9%, showing a sharp decrease compared to the same month the previous year. Moreover, the Bed Occupancy Rate for the same period was 95.1%, which represents a sharp decrease compared to September 2019.
 
Hotels segment has also been affected by the social, preventive, and mandatory isolation decreed by the Argentine government as of March 20, 2020, together with the closure of borders and the arrival of tourism. The Libertador hotel in the city of Buenos Aires and Llao Llao hotal in the province of Río Negro have been temporarily closed since that date and there is no certainty about their reopening and the reactivation of the sector; in turn, the Intercontinental Hotel in the City of Buenos Aires is working only under a contingency and emergency plan.
 
At the moment, there are no certainties about the opening of the social, preventive and mandatory isolation that motivates the reactivation of the sector. The perspectives of slow normalization and reopening place us at the end of the year or the beginning of next year.
 
Future confirmations on the relaxation of social isolation, the opening of airports for national and international flights, land borders and normal interprovincial traffic will contribute to the slow normalization. With the reopening, an initial occupancy is expected, oscillating between 5% and 15%, growing gradually.
 
The crisis in the sector has motivated palliative measures by national and provincial authorities, necessary measures that partially contribute to sustainability. In a complementary way, the management of each one of the hotels makes its best efforts to adapt operationally to the context.
 
As of September 2020, we kept our 76.34% interest in Intercontinental hotel, 100% interest in Libertador hotel and 50.00% interest in Llao Llao.

Hotel Llao Llao, San Carlos de Bariloche, Province of Rio Negro
 
In June 1997 we acquired the Hotel Llao Llao from Llao Llao Holding S.A. Fifty percent is currently owned by the Sutton Group. The Hotel Llao Llao is located on the Llao Llao peninsula, 25 kilometers from the City of San Carlos de Bariloche, and it is one of the most important tourist hotels in Argentina.

The Hotel Llao Llao is currently being managed by Compañía de Servicios Hoteleros S.A., operator, among others, of the Alvear Palace Hotel, a luxury hotel located in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires. During 2007, the hotel was subject to an expansion and the number of suites in the hotel rose to 205 rooms.
 
Hotel Intercontinental, City of Buenos Aires
 
In November 1997, we acquired 76.34% of the Hotel Intercontinental. The Hotel Intercontinental is located in the downtown City of Buenos Aires neighborhood of Montserrat, near the Intercontinental Plaza office building. Intercontinental Hotels Corporation, a United States corporation, currently owns 23.66% of the Hotel Intercontinental. The hotel’s meeting facilities include eight meeting rooms, a convention center and a divisible 588 sqm ballroom. Other amenities include a restaurant, a business center, a sauna and a fitness facility with swimming pool. The hotel was completed in December 1994 and has 313 rooms.
 
Hotel Libertador, City of Buenos Aires
 
In March 1998 we acquired 100% of the Sheraton Libertador Hotel from Citicorp Equity Investment for an aggregate purchase price of USD 23 million. In March 1999, we sold a 20% interest in the Sheraton Libertador Hotel for USD 4.7 million to Hoteles Sheraton de Argentina.
 
During the fiscal year 2019, we acquired 20% of the shares of Hoteles Argentinos S.A.U. (“HASAU”), reaching 100% of the capital stock of HASAU and beginning to operate the hotel directly under the name “Libertador”. The hotel is located in downtown Buenos Aires. The hotel contains 193 rooms and 7 suites, eight meeting rooms, a restaurant, a business center, a spa and fitness facilities with a swimming pool.
 
Bariloche Plot, “El Rancho,” San Carlos de Bariloche, Province of Río Negro
 
On December 14, 2006, through our hotel operator subsidiary, Llao Llao Resorts S.A., we acquired a land covering 129,533 sqm of surface area in the City of San Carlos de Bariloche in the Province of Río Negro. The total price of the transaction was USD 7 million, of which USD 4.2 million were paid in cash and the balance of USD 2.8 million was financed by means of a mortgage to be paid in 36 monthly, equal and consecutive installments of USD 0.086 million each.

Sale and Development of Properties and Land Reserves
 
Residential Development Properties
 
The acquisition and development of residential apartment complexes and residential communities for sale is one of our core activities. Our development of residential apartment complexes consists of the new construction of high-rise towers or the conversion and renovation of existing structures such as factories or warehouses. In connection with our development of residential communities, we frequently acquire vacant land, develop infrastructure such as roads, utilities and common areas, and sell plots of land for construction of single-family homes. We may also develop or sell portions of land for others to develop complementary facilities such as shopping areas within residential developments.
 
In fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, revenues from the development and sale of properties from the Operations Center in Argentina in Argentina segment amounted to ARS 783 million, compared to ARS 210 million posted in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
 
Construction and renovation works on our residential development properties are performed, under our supervision, by independent Argentine construction companies that are selected through a bidding process. We enter into turnkey contracts with the selected company for the construction of residential development properties pursuant to which the selected company agrees to build and deliver the development for a fixed price and at a fixed date. We are generally not responsible for any additional costs based upon the turnkey contract. All other aspects of the construction, including architectural design, are performed by third parties.
 
Another modality for the development of residential undertakings is the exchange of land for constructed sqm. In this way, we deliver undeveloped pieces of land and another firm is in charge of building the project. In this case, we receive finished sqm for commercialization, without taking part in the construction works.

Such project has the “urban feasibility” status for the construction of approximately 200,000 sqm for a term of 10 years, which was granted by the Mayor’s Office of the Canelones department and by its Local Legislature. Zetol S.A. and Vista al Muelle S.A. agreed to carry out the infrastructure works for USD 8 million as well as minimum amount of sqm of properties. The satisfaction of this commitment under the terms and conditions agreed upon will grant an additional 10-year effective term to the urban feasibility status.
 
The total purchase price for Zetol S.A. was USD 7 million; of which USD 2 million were paid. Sellers may opt to receive the balance in cash or through the delivery of units in the buildings to be constructed in the land owned by Zetol S.A. equivalent to 12% of the total marketable meters to be constructed.
 
Besides, Vista al Muelle S.A. owned since September 2008 a plot of land purchased for USD 0.83 million. Then, in February 2010, plots of land were acquired for USD 1 million.

This milestone, as set forth in the amendment to the Master Agreement executed in 2013, initiates the 10-year term for the investment in infrastructure and construction of the buildings mentioned above. Construction capacity of the 13 plots is 182,000 sqm.

Puerto Retiro – City of Buenos Aires
 
At present, this 8.3 hectare plot of land, which is located in one of the most privileged areas of the city, near Catalinas, Puerto Madero and Retiro and is the only privately owned waterfront property facing directly to Río de la Plata, is affected by a zoning regulation defined as U.P. which prevents the property from being used for any purposes other than strictly port activities.
 
During fiscal year 1998, the Company initiated negotiations with the authorities of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires in order to obtain a rezoning permit for the property, allowing a change in the use of the property and setting forth new regulations for its development.
 
In turn, Tandanor filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro S.A. and the other defendants in the criminal case for violation of Section 174 (5) based on Section 173 (7) of the Criminal Code. Such action seeks -on the basis of the nullity of the decree that approved the bidding process involving the Dársena Norte property- the restitution of the property and a reimbursement in favor of Tandanor for all such amounts it has allegedly lost as a result of a suspected fraudulent transaction involving the sale of the property. Puerto Retiro has presented the allegation on the merit of the evidence, highlighting that the current shareholders of Puerto Retiro did not participate in any of the suspected acts in the criminal case since they acquired the shares for consideration and in good faith several years after the facts told in the process. Likewise, it was emphasized that the company Puerto Retiro is foreign - beyond its founders - to the bidding / privatization carried out for the sale of Tandanor shares. The pronouncement of the sentence is pending.
 
On September 7, 2018, the Oral Federal Criminal Court No. 5 rendered a decision. According to the sentence read by the President of the Court, Puerto Retiro won the preliminary objection of limitation filed in the civil action. However, in the criminal case, where Puerto Retiro is not a party, it was ordered, among other issues, the confiscation (decomiso) of the property owned by Puerto Retiro known as Planta I. The grounds of the Court’s judgement will be read on November 30, 2018. From that moment, all the parties might file the appeals.
 
On December 27, 2018, an action for annulment was filed against the judgment that ordered the confiscation of the property named “Planta 1”. On March 1, 2019 we were notified of the “in limine” rejection of the action for annulment filed. Subsequently, on March 8, 2019, a motion for restitution was filed against said resolution. On March 19, 2019, we were notified of the Court’s decision that rejected the replacement and declared the appeal filed in a subsidiary inadmissible. On March 22, 2019, a complaint was filed for appeal denied (before the Federal Criminal Cassation Chamber), the caul was granted, which is why the appeal filed is currently pending. In that sense, in April the appeal was maintained and subsequently, its foundations were expanded.
 
On 21 February 2020, an electronic document was received from the Federal Court of Criminal notifying the decision rejecting the appeals brought by Puerto Retiro against the verdict of the Federal Oral Court 5 that provided for the confiscation of the property Plant I and the distribution of costs in the order caused as regards the exception for the limitation of civil action brought by Puerto Retiro to which the Oral Court took place. Against that decision of appeal, Puerto Retiro was brought in a timely and form of Federal Extraordinary Appeal. In addition, Federal Criminal Cassation Chamber upheld the above limitation period by rejecting, to that effect, the appeal brought by the National State and Tandanor.
 
In the face of the evolution of the legal cases affecting it and based on the reports of its legal advisors, the Management of Puerto Retiro has decided to record a impairment equivalent to 100% of the book value of its investment property, without prejudice to the reversal of the same in the event that a favorable judgment is obtained in the actions brought.
 
Solares de Santa María – City of Buenos Aires
 
Solares de Santa María is a 70-hectare property facing the Río de la Plata in the south of Puerto Madero, 10 minutes from downtown Buenos Aires. We are owners of this property in which we intend to develop an entrepreneurship for mixed purposes, i.e. our development project involves residential complexes as well as offices, stores, hotels, sports and sailing clubs, services areas with schools, supermarkets and parking lots, and we would need to obtain all the necessary permits and authorizations
 
On October 30, 2012 a new agreement was executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, replacing all prior agreements, and such has been submitted to the Legislature for its consideration. The agreement provided that if by February 28, 2014 the agreement was not approved would become invalidated.
 
During 2016, a new Agreement was executed with the Executive Branch of the City of Buenos Aires, including a new Bill of Law. The new Bill of Law was submitted to the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires for consideration and was approved by the relevant commissions, yet, during legislative year 2018 it was reserved and remained without legislative treatment. As a consequence, at the end of the 2018 legislative session, the lack of treatment triggered the automatically invalidity of the above mentioned and executed Agreement with the Executive Branch of the City of Buenos Aires, which include such Bill of Law.
 
As of the date of this Form 6-K, efforts are still being made both in the CABA with the Goverment as well as in the CABA Legislature in order that the project Law may be treated on the premises, for its treatment and subsequent legislative approval.

We grouped here those plots of land with a significant surface area the development of which is not feasible in the short term either due to their current urban and zoning parameters, their legal status or the lack of consolidation of their immediate environment. This group totals around 7 million sqm.
 
Isla Sirgadero
 
On September 3, 2015, the entire property of 10,083,270 sqm was sold to several companies for USD 3.9 million, payable in 16 quarterly installments, plus an installment in kind, land resulting from the final blueprint, equivalent to 10% of the surface area. Delivery of the non-monetary consideration, consisting in 1,083,327 sqm, is pending.

Lipstick Building, New York, United States
 
The Lipstick Building is a landmark building in the City of New York, located at Third Avenue and 53th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York. It was designed by architects John Burgee and Philip Johnson (Glass House and Seagram Building, among other renowned works) and it is named after its elliptical shape and red façade. Its gross leaseable area is approximately 58,000 sqm and consists of 34 floors.
 
On August 7, 2020, as a consequence of negotiations conducted in the context of an increased lease price effective as of May 2020, Metropolitan signed an agreement with the owner of the Ground Lease to terminate the commercial relationship, leaving the administration of the building. For this reason, as of June 30, 2020, Metropolitan no longer recognizes the liability associated with the ground lease, as well as all the assets and liabilities associated with the building and the operation of the administration. For more information see “Recent Developments – Lipstick Building”.

Other Assets
 
La Rural (Exhibition and Convention Center)
 
LRSA holds usufruct rights for the commercial operation of the emblematic Predio Ferial de Palermo (Palermo exhibition center) in the City of Buenos Aires. We own 35% of the equity of LRSA.
 
In July 2016, we acquired from FEG Entretenimientos S.A. 25% of the shares of EHSA, in which we already held 50% of the share. We also acquired a 1.25% interest in ENUSA from Mr. Marcelo Figoli. The aggregate acquisition price for such acquisitions was ARS 66.5 million. Immediately after this acquisition, we sold 5% of the shares of EHSA to Mr. Diego Finkelstein, who already owned a 25% equity interest. The sale amount was agreed at ARS 13.5 million. As a result, we now hold 70% of the shares of EHSA and Mr. Diego Finkelstein holds the remaining 30%.
 
EHSA holds, directly and indirectly, 100% of the shares of OASA and 95% of the shares of ENUSA. OASA holds 50% of the voting stock of LRSA and SRA holds the remaining 50%. In addition, OASA manages LRSA pursuant to agreements entered into with SRA that include the right to appoint the chairman of the board of LRSA—with deciding vote on certain key governance matters—and the chief executive of LRSA. ENUSA is mainly engaged in organizing entertainment events for trade fairs.
 
On August 4, 2017, a 15-year concession for the Exhibition and Convention Center of the City of Buenos Aires was executed by the joint venture La Rural S.A., OFC S.R.L., Ogden Argentina S.A. and Entretenimiento Universal S.A. - Union Transitoria, which was granted pursuant a public bidding process. The members of the joint venture hold the following interests: (a) LRSA 5%; (b) OFC SRL 20%; (c) OASA 55%; and (d) EUSA 20%.
 
The shareholders of LRSA are Sociedad Rural Argentina and OASA, each of which owns 50% equity interest. OASA and EUSA are controlled by EHSA. Consequently, we indirectly hold a 50.00% interest in the joint venture.
 
The Exhibition and Convention Center has a surface area of approximately 22,800 sqm and may accommodate approximately 5,000 attendees. It has a main exhibit hall and an ancillary hall, offices and meetings rooms, arranged in three underground levels that were designed to blend into the landscape extending from the School of Law of the University of Buenos Aires to Parque Thays.
 
Also, La Rural S.A. continues to work on the consolidation of the commercial development of the “Convention Center of Punta del Este”, through its equity participation in the company that holds the concession until 2041.
 
As a result of the measures adopted by Argentina’s national Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, La Rural, the Buenos Aires and Punta del Este Convention Centers have been closed since March 20, 2020, the date on which social, preventive, and mandatory isolation was decreed by the government of Argentina to combat the impact of the COVID-19. All the planned congresses are suspended, a large part of the fairs and conventions were postponed, while the shows scheduled at the DirecTV Arena were mostly canceled. The reopening date of these establishments is uncertain, as well as the future agenda of fairs, conventions and shows.
 
TGLT (real estate)
 
TGLT is a real estate company listed on the BYMA which is mainly engaged in residential development projects in Argentina and Uruguay. We hold a 30.2% interest in TGLT.

On August 8, 2019 has executed with TGLT certain contracts tending to collaborate in the process of financial restructuring of said company through its recapitalization. On December 11, 2019, and in compliance with the contracts signed with TGLT on August 8, 2019, IRSA CP made the exchange of all the Convertible Notes it had of TGLT. Likewise, it subscribed preferred shares making a contribution in kind of the 100% of the shares of the company La Maltería S.A., owner of the property known as Maltería Hudson, for a value of USD 24 million.
 
As a result of the aforementioned exchange and capitalization, IRSA Commercial Properties obtained 21,600,000 Class A preferred shares and 24,948,798 Class B preferred shares that are added to its holding of 3,003,990 ordinary shares.
 
On February 10, 2020, the TGLT Board of Directors determined the mandatory conversion of its Convertible Negotiable Obligations and preferred shares with immediate effect, this is how IRSA CP converted its Class A and B preferred shares of TGLT into ordinary shares of the company. As a consequence of this transaction, IRSA CP owns as of March 31, the amount of 279,502,813 ordinary shares of TGLT, representing 30.2% of its capital stock.

Legal Framework
 
Regulation and Government Supervision
 
The laws and regulations governing the acquisition and transfer of real estate, as well as municipal zoning ordinances, apply to the development and operation of our properties. Currently, Argentine law does not specifically regulate shopping mall leases. Since our shopping mall leases generally diverge from ordinary commercial leases, we have developed contractual provisions which are tailored to the commercial relationship with our shopping mall tenants.
 
Leases
 
Argentine law imposes certain restrictions on property owners, including:
 
a minimum lease term of three years for all purposes, except in particular cases such as embassy, consulate or international organization venues, room with furniture for touristic purposes for less than three months, custody and bailment of goods, exhibition or offering of goods in fairs or in cases where due to the circumstances, the subject matter of the lease requires a shorter term.
 
Lease term limits
 
Under the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code lease terms may not exceed 20 years (for residential purpose) or fifty years (all other purposes). Generally, terms in our leases range from three to ten years.
 
Rescission rights
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code provides that tenants may terminate leases with other destiny than home destiny, early after the first six months of the effective date. Such termination is subject to penalties which range from one to one and a half months of rent. If the tenant terminates the agreement during the first year of the lease, the penalty is one and a half month’s rent and if termination occurs after the first year of lease, the penalty is one month’s rent.
 
Other
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code, among other rules, repealed the Urban Lease Law No. 23,091, which set forth a rule similar to the one described above, but established the obligation to give at least 60 days’ prior notice of exercise of the tenant’s unilateral termination right. There are no court rulings to date with respect to the new regulations related to: (i) the tenant’s unilateral termination right; or (ii) the possibility of agreeing a penalty different from that described above upon such termination.
 
While current policy discourages government regulation of leases, there can be no assurance that additional regulations will not be imposed in the future by Congress, including regulations similar to those previously in place. Furthermore, most of our leases provide that the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to the property in proportion to their respective leasable areas. In the event of a significant increase in such costs and taxes, the government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby adversely affecting our rental income.
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code enables landlords to pursue what is known as an “executory proceeding” if a tenant fails to pay rent when due. In executory proceedings, debtors have fewer defenses available to prevent foreclosure, making these proceedings substantially shorter, as the origin of the debt is not in question and the trial should focus on the formalities of the contract. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code also permits special eviction proceedings, which are carried out in the same way as ordinary proceedings. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code also requires that a residential tenant receive at least 10 days’ prior notice when a landlord demands payment of rent due if a breach prior to eviction occurs but does not impose any such requirement for other leases. However, court cases pending resolution and numerous procedural hurdles have resulted in significant delays to eviction proceedings in the commercial context, which generally last from six months to two years from the date of filing of the suit for eviction.

Development and use of the land
 
In the City of Buenos Aires, where the vast majority of our properties are located, we are subject to the following regulations:
 
Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code
 
The Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code (Código de Planeamiento Urbano de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) generally restricts the density and use of property and regulates physical features of improvements to property, such as height, design, set back and overhang, consistent with the city’s urban planning policy. The Secretary of Urban Planning of the City of Buenos Aires (Secretaría de Planeamiento Urbano) is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code.
 
Buenos Aires Building Code
 
The Buenos Aires Building Code (Código de Edificación de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) complements the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code regulating the use and development of property in the City of Buenos Aires. The Building Code requires developers to obtain building permits, including submitting architectural plans for review of the Secretary of Work and Public Services, to monitor regulatory compliance.
 
Buenos Aires Authorizations and Licenses Code
 
The Authorizations and Licenses Code (Código de Habilitaciones de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) sets forth the conditions under which authorizations or licenses to operate may be granted. The General Bureau of Authorizations and Licenses is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Authorizations and Licenses Code. Outside the city of Buenos Aires, our real estate activities are subject to similar municipal zoning, building, occupation and environmental regulations, which must also comply with national standards. In some jurisdictions we may also be subject to regulation of large commercial areas, which require approval of the location of these areas. We believe that all of our real estate properties are in material compliance with relevant laws, ordinances and regulations.
 
Sales and ownership
 
Real Estate Installment Sales Law
 
The Real Estate Installment Sales Law No. 14,005, as amended by Law No. 23,266 and Decree No. 2015/85, or “Real Estate Installment Sales Act,” imposes a series of requirements on contracts for the sale of subdivided real estate property including, for example, that the purchase price for a property is payable in installments. The law requires, among other things:
 
Registration of intent to sell the property in subdivided plots with the Real Estate Registry in the jurisdiction where the property is located. Registration is only permitted for unencumbered property. Mortgaged property may only be registered if creditors agree to divide the debt in accordance with subdivided plots. Creditors may be judicially compelled to agree to the partition.
 
Preliminary registration with the Real Estate Registry of the purchase instrument within 30 days after its execution.
 
Once the property is registered, the installment sale must be completed in a manner consistent with the Real Estate Installment Sales Act. If a dispute arises over the title between the purchaser and third party creditors of the seller, the installment purchaser who has duly registered the purchase instrument will have title to the plot. The purchaser can demand conveyance of title after at least 25% of the purchase price has been paid, although the seller may record a mortgage over the subject property to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price.
 
After paying of 25% of the purchase price or advancing of at least 50% of construction, the Real Estate Installment Sales Act prohibits termination of the sales contract for failure by the purchaser to pay the balance of the purchase price but gives the seller the right to enforce under any mortgage on the property.
 
Buildings Law
 
Buildings Law No. 19,724 (Ley de Pre horizontalidad) was repealed by the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code which provides that for purposes of execution of sales agreements for units under construction, the owner or developer must purchase insurance in favor of prospective purchasers against the risk of frustration of the development pursuant to the agreement for any reason. A breach of this obligation precludes the owner from exercising any right against the purchaser—such as demanding payment of any outstanding installments due—unless he/she fully complies with their obligations, but does not prevent the purchaser from exercising its rights against the seller.
 
Protection of the Disabled
 
The Law for Protection of the Disabled No. 22,431, enacted on March 16, 1981, as amended, provides that properties under construction or that are being remodeled must provide access for handicapped persons. Public spaces, entrances, hallways, elevators and common use facilities must be designed to provide mobility for impaired individuals. Buildings developed before enactment of the Protection for the Disabled Law must be reformatted to provide requisite access. Buildings that, because of their architectural design, may not be adapted to the use by the physically impaired, are exempted from these requirements.
 
Other regulations
 
Consumer relations, consumer or end user protection
 
Article 42 of the Argentine Constitution establishes that consumers and users of goods and services have a right to protection of health, safety and economic interests in a consumer relationship. Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240, as amended, regulates several issues concerning the protection of consumers and end users in a consumer relationship, in the arrangement and execution of contracts. The Consumer Protection Law, and the applicable sections of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code are intended to regulate the constitutional right conferred under the Constitution on the weakest party to the consumer relationship and prevent potential abuses deriving from the stronger bargaining position of vendors of goods and services in a market economy where standard form contracts are widespread.
 
These laws deem void and unenforceable contractual provisions included in consumer contracts, that:
 
●
deprive obligations of their nature or limit liability for damages;
 
●
imply a waiver or restriction of consumer rights and an extension of seller rights; and
 
●
impose the shifting of the burden of proof from the consumer to the seller in order to protect the consumers.
 
In addition, the Consumer Protection Law imposes penalties ranging from warnings to the forfeiture of concession rights, privileges, tax regimes or special credits to which the sanctioned party may be entitled, including closing down establishments for a term of up to 30 days.
 
The Consumer Protection Law and the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code define consumers or end users as the individuals or legal entities that acquire or use goods or services, free of charge or for a price for their own final use or benefit or that of their family or social group. The protection under the laws afforded to consumers and end users encompasses the entire consumer relationship, from the offering of the product or service, to cover more than just those relationships established by means of a contract. Providers of goods and services include those who produce, import, distribute or commercialize goods or supply services to consumers or users (but excludes professionals whose services require a college degree or higher who are required to register in officially recognized professional organizations).
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code defines a consumer agreement as one that is entered into between a consumer or end user and an individual or entity that manufactures goods or provides services to consumers for private, family or social use. The Consumer Protection Law imposes a range of penalties for violation of its provisions, from warnings to the forfeiture of concession rights, and establishes joint and several liability of each participant in the chain of distribution or whose trademark on the thing or service for damages caused to consumers derived from a defect or risk inherent in the thing or the provision of a service.
 
The Consumer Protection Law excludes the services supplied by professionals that require a college degree and registration in officially recognized professional organizations or by a governmental authority. However, this law regulates the advertisements that promote the services of such professionals.
 
The Consumer Protection Law determines that the information contained in the offer addressed to undetermined prospective consumers binds the offeror during the period when the offer is made until its public revocation. Further, it determines that specifications included in advertisements, announcements, prospectuses, circulars or other media bind the offeror and are considered part of the contract entered into by the consumer.
 
Pursuant to Resolution No. 104/2005 issued by the Secretariat of Technical Coordination reporting to the Argentine Ministry of Treasury, Consumer Protection Law adopted Resolution No. 21/2004 issued by the Mercosur’s Common Market Group, persons engaged in internet commerce must disclose precisely the characteristics of the products and/or services offered and the sale terms. Failure to comply with the terms of the offer is deemed an unjustified denial to sell and may give rise to sanctions.
 
On September 17, 2014, the Argentine Congress enacted Law No. 26,993 called “Conflict Resolution in Consumer Relationships System” law that provides for creation of new administrative and judicial procedures. The law created a bicameral administrative system: the Preliminary Conciliation Service for Consumer Relations (Servicio de Conciliación Previa en las Relaciones de Consumo), or “COPREC,” and the Consumer Relations Audit, and a number of courts assigned to the resolution of conflicts between consumers and providers (Fuero Judicial Nacional de Consumo). The amount of any filed claim may not exceed a fixed amount equivalent to 55 adjustable minimum wages, as determined by the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security. The claim must be filed with the administrative agency. If an agreement is not reached, the claimant may file the claim in court. While COPREC is currently in full force and effect, the court system (Fuero Judicial Nacional de Consumo) is still pending. Therefore, any current claim must be filed with existing courts. A considerable number of claims pending against us are expected to be settled within the framework of this system.
 
Antitrust Law
 
Law No. 27,442, as amended, or the “Antitrust Law,” prevents collusive practices by market participants and requires administrative approval for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law constitute an economic concentration. According to this law, mergers, transfers of goodwill, acquisitions of property or rights over shares, capital or other convertible securities, or similar transactions by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences a company, are considered as an economic concentration. Whenever an economic concentration involves a company or companies and the aggregate volume of business in Argentina of the companies concerned exceeds 100 million mobile units, the respective concentration must be submitted for approval to the CNDC. The request for approval may be filed, either prior to the transaction or the implementing of the control take.
 
For the purpose of determining the volume of the business mentioned on the paragraph before, the CNDC will annually inform the amount in legal currency that will apply during the corresponding year. For that purpose, the CNDC will consider the mobile unit value current at the last business day of the previous year. When a request for approval is filed, the CNDC may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) subordinate the transaction to the accomplishment of certain conditions or (iii) reject the authorization.
 
The Antitrust Law provides that economic concentrations in which the transaction amount and the value of the assets subject to acquisition or disposition do not exceed 20 million mobile units each do not require approval. When the amount of the transactions consummated in the preceding 12 months exceeds in aggregate 20 million mobile units or 60 million mobile units in the preceding 36 months, these transactions require CNDC approval.
 
As our consolidated annual sales volume and our parent’s consolidated annual sales volume exceed ARS 200.0 million, we must give notice to the CNDC of any concentration provided for under the Antitrust Law.

Money laundering
 
For more information about money laundering see, “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Money Laundering” in our 2020 Form 20-F.
 
Environmental Law
 
Our activities are subject to several national, provincial and municipal environmental provisions.
 
Article 41 of the Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, provides that all Argentine inhabitants have the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development and have the duty to preserve it. Environmental damage shall bring about primarily the obligation to restore it as provided by applicable law. The authorities shall control the protection of this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of biodiversity and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The National Government shall establish minimum standards for environmental protection whereas Provincial and Municipal Governments shall fix specific standards and regulatory provisions.
 
On November 6, 2009, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675. Such law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and fixes environmental policy goals.
 
Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, such Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and mainly provides for restoration of the environment to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, for payment of compensation in lieu thereof. Such Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum reporting obligations to be fulfilled by natural and legal entities.
 
In addition, the CNV Rules require the obligation to report to the CNV any events of any nature and fortuitous acts that seriously hinder or could potentially hinder performance of our activities, including any events that generate or may generate significant impacts on the environment, providing details on the consequences thereof.
 
The new Argentine Civil and Commercial Code has introduced as a novel feature the acknowledgement of collective rights, including the right to a healthy and balanced environment. Accordingly, the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code expressly sets forth that the law does not protect an abusive exercise of individual rights if such exercise could have an adverse impact on the environment and the rights with a collective impact in general.
 
Environmental matters
 
We consistently strive to act responsibly regarding protection of the environment in the management of our operating activities by preventing and minimizing the potential adverse environmental impacts of our activities. We have adopted an environmental impact policy, which is used as a reference for the realization of our investments. We are subject to environmental legislation under a series of laws, ordinances, norms, and national, provincial and municipal regulations of Argentina. Environmental obligations vary depending on the project site, the site’s environmental conditions, current and prior uses, and the activity proposed to be developed. Compliance with environmental laws may result in project delays or impose additional requirements that may result in substantial additional costs that may adversely affect our commercial activities. Before purchasing land or carrying out an investment on a plot of land, we carry out an environmental assessment of the parcel to identify possible environmental contingencies and analyze the possible environmental impact of the investment or the development to be carried out. Historically, our operations have not been negatively affected by the existence or potential existence of pollutants, nor by the failure to obtain environmental approvals or permits.
 
We intend to continue implementing plans that enhance our monitoring activities, in line with our commitment to and respect for the environment, our compliance obligations and with existing regulations, while seeking to optimize the use of resources.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
 
A. Operating Results
 
The following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 6-K. This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements include such words as, “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including without limitation those set forth elsewhere in this Form 6-K. See Item 3 “Key Information – D. Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 20-F for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to us.
 
General
 
We prepare our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in pesos and in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, and with CNV Rules.
 
Historically, we measured the value of our portfolio of investment properties at cost. Our board of directors resolved to change our accounting policy for measuring the value of our investment properties from the cost model to the fair value model, as permitted under IAS 40. Accordingly, we retroactively recast our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 as required by IAS 40 and IAS 8. We have furnished to the SEC such consolidated financial statements as recast in a report on Form 6-K filed on May 26, 2017.
 
Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the financial information included elsewhere in this Form 6-K have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. We have determined that, as of July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy according to the guidelines of IAS 29 since the total cumulative inflation in Argentina in the 36 months prior to July 1, 2018 exceeded 100%. IAS 29 requires that the financial information recorded in a hyperinflationary currency be adjusted by applying a general price index and expressed in the measuring unit (the hyperinflationary currency) current at the end of the reporting period. Therefore, our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 6-K have been adjusted by applying a general price index and expressed in the measuring unit (the hyperinflationary currency) current at the end of the reporting period (June 30, 2020). See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Argentina—A high level of uncertainty with regard to these economic variables, and a general lack of stability in terms of inflation, could have a negative impact on economic activity and adversely affect our financial condition
 
Revenue Recognition
 
We identify contracts with customers and evaluates the goods and services committed therein to determine performance obligations and their classification between performance obligations that are satisfied at a given time or over time.
 
Revenue from satisfaction of performance obligations at a given time is recognized when the client obtains control of the committed asset or service considering whether there is a right to collection, if the client has the physical possession, if the client has the legal right and if they have the transferred the risks and benefits.
 
Additionally and in accordance with IFRS 15, we recognize revenues over time from the sales of real estate developments in which there is no alternative use for the asset and the Group has the right to demand payment of the contract. When these conditions are not met, the income is recognized at the time of delivery or deed (see detail in Note 2.2).
 
Revenue from satisfaction of performance obligations over time for real estate developments is recognized by measuring progress towards compliance with the obligation when it can be measured reliably. For this measurement, the Group uses the cost method, that is, the effort consumed by the entity and determines the percentage of progress based on the estimate of the total development costs.
 
Revenue are recognized at the probable value of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the products or services to the customer which is not expected to suffer significant changes.
 
Agricultural and agricultural-related activities:
 
Revenue from our agricultural activities comes primarily from sales of agricultural produce and biological assets, from provision of services related to the activity and from leases of farmlands.
 
We recognize revenue on product sales when the agricultural produce or biological assets are delivered and the customers take ownership and assume risk of loss, which is when the products are received by the customer at its or a designated location or collected directly by the customer, collection is reasonably assured and the selling price is fixed or determinable. Net sales of products represent the invoiced value of goods, net of trade discounts and allowances, if any.
 
We also provides agricultural-related (including but not limited to watering and feedlot services) and brokerage services to third parties. Revenue from services are recognized when services are effective rendered.
 
We also leases land to third parties under operating lease agreements. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
 
Urban properties and investments activities:
 
Rental and services - Shopping malls portfolio
 
Revenues derived from business activities developed in the Company’s shopping malls mainly include rental income under operating leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from several complementary services provided to the Group’s lessees.
 
Rental income from shopping mall, admission rights and commissions, are recognized in the Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
 
Contingent rents, i.e. lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are known and can be determined. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.
 
The Company’s lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance charges and collective promotion funds of the Group’s shopping malls are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These common area maintenance charges include all expenses necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the shopping malls. The lessor is responsible for determining the need and suitability of incurring a common area expense. We make the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. We consider that it acts as a principal in these cases. Service charge income is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
 
Rental and services - Offices and other rental properties
 
Rental income from offices and other rental properties include rental income from offices leased out under operating leases, income from services and expenses recovery paid by tenants.
 
Rental income from offices and other rental properties is recognized in the Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
 
A substantial portion of the Company’s leases requires the tenant to reimburse the Company for a substantial portion of operating expenses, usually a proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses. Such property operating expenses include necessary expenses such as property operating, repairs and maintenance, security, janitorial, insurance, landscaping, leased properties and other administrative expenses, among others. We manage its own rental properties. We make the original payment for these expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. We consider that it acts as a principal in these cases. We accrue reimbursements from tenants as service charge revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
 
Revenue from communication services and sale of communication equipment
 
Revenue derived from the use of the Company’s communication networks, including mobile phones, Internet services, international calls, fixed line calls, interconnection rates and roaming service rates and television, are recognized when the service is provided, proportionally to the extent the transaction has been realized, and provided all other criteria have been met for revenue recognition.
 
Revenue from the sale of mobile phone cards is initially recognized as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue as they are used or upon expiration, whichever takes place earlier.
 
A transaction involving the sale of equipment to a final user normally also involves a service sale transaction. In general, this type of sale is performed without a contractual obligation by the client to consume telephone services for a minimum amount over a predetermined period. As a result, the Company records the sale of equipment separately of the performance obligations and recognizes revenue pursuant to the transaction value upon delivery of the equipment to the client. Revenue from telephone services is recognized and accounted for as they are provided over time. When the client is bound to make a minimum consumption of services during a predefined period, the contract formalizes a transaction of several elements and, therefore, revenue from the sale of equipment is recorded at an amount that should not exceed its fair value, and is recognized upon delivery of the equipment to the client and provided the criteria for recognition are met. The Company ascertains the fair value of individual elements, based on the price at which it is normally sold, after taking into account the relevant discounts.
 
Revenue derived from long-term contracts is recognized at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at market rates prevailing on the transaction date. Any difference between the original credit and its net present value is accounted for as interest income over the credit term.
 
Revenues from supermarkets
 
Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is recognized at the fair value of the consideration collected or receivable, net of returns and discounts. When the credit term is short and financing is that typical in the industry, consideration is not discounted. When the credit term is longer than the industry’s average, in accounting for the consideration, the Company discounts it to its net present value by using the client’s risk premium or the market rate. The difference between the fair value and the nominal amount is accounted for under financial income. If discounts are granted and their amount can be measured reliably, the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue.
 
Revenues from supermarkets have been recognized in discontinued operations.

Effects of the global macroeconomic factors
 
Most of our assets are located in Argentina, where we conduct our operations, and in Israel. Therefore, our financial condition and the results of our operations are significantly dependent upon economic conditions prevailing in both countries.
 
The table below shows Argentina’s GDP, inflation rates, dollar exchange rates, the appreciation (depreciation) of the Peso against the U.S. dollar, and the appreciation (depreciation) of the NIS against the U.S. dollar for the indicated periods (inter-annual information—which is the 12 month period preceding the dates presented—is presented to conform to our fiscal year periods).

Argentine GDP contracted 10.2% during our 2021 first fiscal year, compared to a contraction of 1.8% in the first fiscal year of 2019. Nationally, shopping mall sales decreased 82.2% in the fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the unemployment rate was at 13.1% of the country’s economically active population compared to 10.6% as of June 30, 2019. The monthly estimate of economic activity (“EMAE”) as of June 30, 2020, contracted by 12.3% compared to the same month in 2019. In the second quarter of 2020, the activity rate was 38.4%, the employment rate was 33.4% and the unemployment rate was 13.1%.
 
In the context of the health emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the main impact on the labor market was verified in the dynamics of the employment rate (TE), which measures the proportion of employed persons in relation to the total population. The second quarter of 2020 showed a drop of 8.8 percentage points (p.p.) compared to the first quarter of the year and of 9.2 p.p. compared to the second quarter of 2019, driven by the lower proportion of people who were able to report to work. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, total sales at current prices in the month of June 2020 relevant to the survey reached a total of ARS 2,841.6 million, which represents a decrease of 82.2% compared to the month of June 2019.
 
Changes in short- and long-term interest rates, unemployment and inflation rates may reduce the availability of consumer credit and the purchasing power of individuals who frequent shopping malls. These factors, combined with low GDP growth, may reduce general consumption rates at our shopping malls. Since most of the lease agreements at our shopping malls, our main source of revenue, require tenants to pay a percentage of their total sales as rent, a general reduction in consumption may reduce our revenue. A reduction in the number of shoppers at our shopping malls and, consequently, in the demand for parking, may also reduce our revenues from services rendered.
 
Regarding Israel’s economy, and based on information published by OECD, despite a decline in residential investment, activity remained solid at the beginning of 2018, with strong public consumption and good export performance, particularly of services. After picking up to 3.3% in 2017, growth is projected to be around 3.7% in 2018 and 3.6% in 2019. Rising wage pressures are projected to lead to a steady increase in inflation.

The current structure of IRSA CP’s leases contracts for shopping mall tenant generally include provisions that provide for payment of variable rent, which is a percentage of the IRSA CP’s shopping mall tenant’s sales. Therefore, the projected cash flows for these shopping malls generally are highly correlated with GDP growth and consumption power.
 
For the leases of spaces at our shopping malls we use for most tenants a standard lease agreement, the terms and conditions of which are described below. However, our largest tenants generally negotiate better terms for their respective leases. No assurance can be given that lease terms will be as set forth in the standard lease agreement.
 
The rent specified in our leases generally is the higher of (i) a monthly Base Rent and (ii) a specified percentage of the store’s monthly gross sales, which generally ranges between 2% and 10% of such sales. In addition, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most of our leases, a tenant’s Base Rent generally increases between 10% and 15% on a semi-annual and cumulative basis from the seventh (7th) month following effectiveness of the lease. Although many of our lease agreements contain price adjustment provisions, these are not based on an official index nor do they reflect the inflation index. In the event of litigation regarding these adjustment provisions, there can be no assurance that we may be able to enforce such clauses contained in our lease agreements. See “Information of the Company—Business Overview—Our Shopping Malls—Principal Terms of our Leases.”
 
Continuing increases in the rate of inflation are likely to have an adverse effect on our operations. Although higher inflation rates in Argentina may increase minimum lease payments, given that tenants tend to pass on any increases in their expenses to consumers, higher inflation may lead to an increase in the prices our tenants charge consumers for their products and services, which may ultimately reduce their sales volumes and consequently the portion of rent we receive based on our tenants’ gross sales.
 
In addition, we measure the fair market value of our shopping malls based upon the estimated cash flows generated by such assets which, as discussed in previous paragraphs, is directly related to consumer spending since a significant component of the rent payment received from our tenants is tied to the sales realized by such tenants (i.e. is a percentage of the sales of our tenants). Therefore, macroeconomic conditions in Argentina have an impact in the fair market value of our shopping malls as measured in pesos. Specifically, since our tenants’ products have been adjusted (increased) to account for inflation of the peso, our expected cash flows from our shopping malls have similarly increased in nominal terms since rent is largely dependent on sales of our tenants in pesos.
 
Seasonality
 
Our business is directly affected by seasonality, influencing the level of our tenants’ sales. During Argentine summer holidays (January and February) our tenants’ sales typically reach their lowest level, whereas during winter holidays (July) and in Christmas (December) they reach their maximum level. Clothing retailers generally change their collections in spring and autumn, positively affecting our shopping malls’ sales. Discount sales at the end of each season are also one of the main seasonal factors affecting our business.
 
In Israel, the retail segment business’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of the consumption behavior of the population proximate to the Passover holidays (March and/or April) and Rosh Hashanah and Sukkoth holidays (September and/or October). This also affects the balance sheet values of inventory, customers and suppliers. Revenues from cellular services are usually affected by seasonality with the third quarter of the year characterized by higher roaming revenues due to increased incoming and outgoing tourism.
 
Effects of interest rate fluctuations
 
Most of our U.S. dollar-denominated debt accrues interest at a fixed rate. An increase in interest rates will result in a significant increase in our financing costs and may materially affect our financial condition or our results of operations.
 
In addition, a significant increase of interest rates could deteriorate the terms and conditions in which our tenants obtain financing from banks and financial institutions in the market. As a consequence of that, if they suffer liquidity problems the collection of our lease contracts could be affected by an increase in the level of delinquency.
 
Effects of foreign currency fluctuations
 
A significant portion of our financial debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, a devaluation or depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar would increase our indebtedness measured in pesos and materially affect our results of operations. Foreign currency exchange restrictions imposed by the Argentine government could prevent or restrict our access to U.S. dollars, affecting our ability to service our U.S. dollar denominated- liabilities.
 
In addition, contracts for the rental of office buildings are generally stated in U.S. dollars, so a devaluation or depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar would increase the risk of delinquency on our lease receivables.
 
As discussed above, we calculate the fair market value of our office properties based on comparable sales transactions. Typically real estate transactions in Argentina are transacted in U.S. dollars. Therefore, a devaluation or depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar would increase the value of our real estate properties measured in pesos and an appreciation of the peso would have the opposite effect. In addition, foreign currency exchange restrictions imposed by Argentine government could prevent or restrict the access to U.S. dollars for the acquisition of real estate properties, which are denominated and transacted in U.S dollars in Argentina, that could affect our ability to sell or acquire real estate properties and could have an adverse impact in real estate prices.

Fluctuations in the market value of our investment properties as a result of revaluations
 
Currently, our interests in investment properties are revalued quarterly. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of our investment properties, based on appraisal reports prepared by appraisers, is recorded in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the fiscal year during which the revaluation occurs. The revaluation of our properties may therefore result in significant fluctuations in the results of our operations.
 
Property values are affected by, among other factors, a) shopping malls, which are mainly impacted by the discount rate used (WACC), the projected GDP growth and the projected inflation and devaluation for future periods and b) office buildings, which are mostly impacted by the supply and demand of comparable properties and the U.S. dollar / peso exchange rate at the reporting period, as office buildings fair value is generally established in U.S. dollars For example:
 
●
during the 2018 fiscal year there was a 73.5% depreciation of the peso from ARS 16.63 to USD1.00 as of June 30, 2017 to ARS 28.85 to USD1.00 as of June 30, 2018.
 
●
during the 2019 fiscal year, there was a 47.1% depreciation of the peso from ARS 28.85 to USD1.00 as of June 30, 2018 to ARS 42.363 to USD1.00 as of June 30, 2019.
 
●
during the 2020 fiscal year, there was a 66.1% depreciation of the peso from ARS 42.363 to USD1.00 as of June 30, 2019 to ARS 70.36 to USD1.00 as of June 30, 2020.
 
●
during the first quarter of the 2021 fiscal year, there was a 8.2% depreciation of the peso from ARS 70.36 to USD1.00 as of June 30, 2020 to ARS 76.18 to USD1.00 as of September 30, 2020.
 
The value of the Company investment properties is determined in U.S. dollar pursuant to the methodologies further described in “Critical Accounting Policies and estimates” and then determined in pesos (the Company functional and presentation currency).
 
In the past, purchases and sales of office buildings were usually settled in US dollars, However, as a consequence of the restrictions imposed by the BCRA on foreign exchange transactions, purchase and sales of office buildings are now usually settled in Argentine pesos, using an implicit exchange rate that is higher than the official one (as it was the case in the operations carried out by IRSA CP in the past few months). Therefore, IRSA CP has valued its office buildings and undeveloped parcels of land in Argentine pesos at the end of the year, considering the situation described above, which results in a gain with respect to the values​​previously recorded.

On June 30, 2019, IRSA CP’s Office portfolio consisted of 115,378 sqm of GLA after incorporating the recently inaugurated Zetta building. Additionally, we acquired the Maltería Hudson plot that has a surface area of 147,895 sqm and approximately 40,000 GLA at the intersection of Route 2 and Buenos Aires - La Plata highway.
 
On June 30, 2020, IRSA CP has acquired as an investment property the building “200 Della Paolera” located in Catalinas District in Buenos Aires. It consists of 35,208 sqm of gross leasable area over 30 office floors and includes 316 parking lots in 4 basements.
 
Shopping malls
 
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we maintained the same portfolio of operating shopping malls. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the surface area of our Shopping Malls segment was reduced by 11,875 square meter due to the return of Buenos Aires Design, whose concession terminated in November 2018.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and the accounting policies employed are set out in our Accounting Policies section in the financial statements. In applying these policies, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The actual outcome could differ from those estimates. Some of these policies require a high level of judgment because the areas are especially subjective or complex.
 
The discussion below should also be read in conjunction with our disclosure of significant IFRS accounting policies, which is provided in Note 2 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of significant accounting policies”.
 
The following is intended to provide an understanding of the policies that management considers critical because of the level of complexity, judgment or estimations involved in their application and their impact on the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
Estimation
Main assumptions
Potential implications
Business combination - Allocation of acquisition prices
Assumptions regarding timing, amount of future revenues and expenses, revenue growth, expected rate of return, economic conditions, and discount rate, among other.
Should the assumptions made be inaccurate, the recognized combination may not be correct.
Recoverable amounts of cash-generating units (even those including goodwill), associates and assets.
The discount rate and the expected growth rate before taxes in connection with cash-generating units.
The discount rate and the expected growth rate after taxes in connection with associates.
Cash flows are determined based on past experiences with the asset or with similar assets and in accordance with the Group’s best factual assumption relative to the economic conditions expected to prevail.
Business continuity of cash-generating units.
Appraisals made by external appraisers and valuators with relation to the assets’ fair value, net of realization costs (including real estate assets).
Should any of the assumptions made be inaccurate; this could lead to differences in the recoverable values of cash-generating units.
Control, joint control or significant influence
Judgment relative to the determination that the Group holds an interest in the shares of investees (considering the existence and influence of significant potential voting rights), its right to designate members in the executive management of such companies (usually the Board of directors) based on the investees’ bylaws; the composition and the rights of other shareholders of such investees and their capacity to establish operating and financial policies for investees or to take part in the establishment thereof.
Accounting treatment of investments as subsidiaries (consolidation) or associates (equity method)
Estimated useful life of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Estimated useful life of assets based on their conditions.
Recognition of accelerated or decelerated depreciation by comparison against final actual earnings (losses).
Fair value valuation of investment properties
Fair value valuation made by external appraisers and valuators. See Note 9 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Incorrect valuation of investment property values
Income tax
The Group estimates the income tax amount payable for transactions where the Treasury’s Claim cannot be clearly determined.
Additionally, the Group evaluates the recoverability of assets due to deferred taxes considering whether some or all of the assets will not be recoverable.
Upon the improper determination of the provision for income tax, the Group will be bound to pay additional taxes, including fines and compensatory and punitive interest.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
A periodic review is conducted of receivables risks in the Group’s clients’ portfolios. Bad debts based on the expiration of account receivables and account receivables’ specific conditions.
Improper recognition of charges / reimbursements of the allowance for bad debt.
Level 2 and 3 financial instruments
Main assumptions used by the Group are:
● Discounted projected income by interest rate
● Values determined in accordance with the shares in equity funds on the basis of its Financial Statements, based on fair value or investment assessments.
● Comparable market multiple (EV/GMV ratio).
● Underlying asset price (Market price); share price volatility (historical) and market interest rate (Libor rate curve).
Incorrect recognition of a charge to income / (loss).
Probability estimate of contingent liabilities.
Whether more economic resources may be spent in relation to litigation against the Group, such estimate is based on legal advisors’ opinions.
Charge / reversal of provision in relation to a claim.
Qualitative considerations for determining whether or not the replacement of the debt instrument involves significantly different terms
The entire set of characteristics of the exchanged debt instruments, and the economic parameters represented therein:
Average lifetime of the exchanged liabilities; Extent of effects of the debt terms (linkage to index; foreign currency; variable interest) on the cash flows from the instruments.
Classification of a debt instrument in a manner whereby it will not reflect the change in the debt terms, which will affect the method of accounting recording.
Biological assets
Main assumptions used in valuation are yields, production costs, selling expenses, forwards of sales prices, discount rates.
Wrong recognition/valuation of biological assets. See sensitivities modeled on these parameters in Note 14 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Segment Reporting
 
IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM. According to IFRS 8, the CODM represents a function whereby strategic decisions are made and resources are assigned. The CODM function is carried out by our chief executive officer, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain. In addition, and due to the acquisition of IDBD, two responsibility levels have been established for resource allocation and assessment of results of the two operations centers, through executive committees in Argentina and Israel.
 
Segment information is analyzed by the CODM from two perspectives: by geography (Argentina and Israel) and by products and services. In each operations center, the Company considers separately the various activities being developed, which represent reporting operating segments given the nature of its products, services, operations and risks. Management believes the operating segment clustering in each operations center reflects similar economic characteristics in each region, as well as similar products and services offered, types of clients and regulatory environments.
 
As of fiscal year 2018, the CODM reviews certain corporate expenses associated with each operations center in an aggregate manner and separately from each of the segments, and such expenses have been disclosed in the “Corporate” segment of each operation center. Additionally, as of fiscal year 2018, the “Offices” business is being monitored as a separate segment, while the entertainment business is now being monitored within the “Others” segment. Segment information for the year 2017 has been consequently recast for purposes of comparability with the present year.
 
The “Agricultural production” segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of crops as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers; the sale of grain derivatives, such as flour and oil, breeding, purchasing and/or fattening of free-range cattle for sale to meat processors and local livestock auction markets; agricultural services; leasing of the Group’s farms to third parties; and planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane.
 
In the third quarter of the fiscal year 2018, we have changed the presentation of the agricultural business segment which is monitored regularly by the CODM for a better alignment with the current business structure. The former four operating segments (crops, cattle, dairy and sugarcane) have been aggregated into a single operating segment named “Agricultural production”. Management considered for the aggregation the nature of the production processes (growing of biological assets), the methods used to distribute their products and the nature of the regulatory environment (agricultural business). Therefore this quarter four segments are considered:
 
Agricultural business:
 
In the third quarter of the fiscal year 2018, we have changed the presentation of the agricultural business segments which are reviewed by the CODM for a better alignment with the current business vision and the metrics used to such end. Four operating segments (crops, cattle, dairy and sugarcane) have been aggregated into a single operating segment named “Agricultural production”. Management consider for the aggregation the nature of the production processes (growing of biological assets), the methods used to distribute their products and the nature of the regulatory environment (agricultural business). Therefore this quarter three segments are considered:
 
The “Agricultural production” segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of crops as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers; the sale of grain derivatives, such as flour and oil, breeding, purchasing and/or fattening of free-range cattle for sale to meat processors and local livestock auction markets; agricultural services; leasing of the Group’s farms to third parties; and planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane.
 
The “Land transformation and sales” segment comprises gains from the disposal and development of farmlands activities
 
The “Other” segment includes, principally, slaughtering and processing in the meat refrigeration plant; and brokerage activities, among others.
 
The “Corporate” segment includes corporate expenses related to agricultural business.
 
Urban properties and investments business:
 
Operations Center in Argentina:
 
Within this operations center, IRSA operates in the following segments:
 
●
The “Shopping Malls” segment includes results principally comprised of lease and service revenues related to rental of commercial space and other spaces in the shopping malls of the Group.
 
●
The “Offices” segment includes the operating results from lease revenues of offices, other rental spaces and other service revenues related to the office activities.
 
●
The “Sales and Developments” segment includes the operating results of the development, maintenance and sales of undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties. Real estate sales results are also included.
 
●
The “Hotels” segment includes the operating results mainly comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.
 
●
The “International” segment includes assets and operating profit or loss from business related to associates Condor (hotels) and New Lipstick (offices).
 
●
The “Others” segment primarily includes the entertainment activities through ALG Golf Center S.A., La Rural S.A. and TGLT, and the financial activities carried out by BHSA.
 
●
The “Corporate” segment includes the expenses related to the corporate activities of the Operations Center in Argentina.
 
The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of operating segments of this operations center based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the share of profit / (loss) of joint ventures and associates. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the following:
 
Operating results from joint ventures are evaluated by the CODM applying proportional consolidation method. Under this method the profit/loss generated and assets are reported in the Statement of Income line-by-line based on the percentage held in joint ventures rather than in a single item as required by IFRS. Management believes that the proportional consolidation method provides more useful information to understand the business return. On the other hand, the investment in the joint venture La Rural S.A. is accounted for under the equity method since this method is considered to provide more accurate information in this case.
 
Operating results from Shopping Malls and Offices segments do not include the amounts pertaining to building administration expenses and collective promotion funds (“FPC”, as per its Spanish acronym) as well as total recovered costs, whether by way of expenses or other concepts included under financial results (for example default interest and other concepts). The CODM examines the net amount from these items (total surplus or deficit between building administration expenses and FPC and recoverable expenses).
 
The assets’ categories examined by the CODM are: investment properties, property, plant and equipment, trading properties, inventories, right to receive future units under barter agreements, investment in associates and goodwill. The sum of these assets, classified by business segment, is reported under “assets by segment”. Assets are allocated to each segment based on the operations and/or their physical location.
 
Within the Operations Center in Argentina, most revenue from its operating segments is derived from, and their assets are located in, Argentina, except for the share of profit / (loss) of associates included in the “International” segment located in USA.
 
Revenues for each reporting segments derive from a large and diverse client base and, therefore, there is no revenue concentration in any particular segment.
 
Operations Center in Israel: Within this operations center, as of June 30, 2020, the Company operated in the following segments:
 
●
The “Real Estate” segment in which, through PBC, the Group operates rental properties and residential properties in Israel, USA and other parts of the world and carries out commercial projects in Las Vegas, USA. In this fiscal year, the Company lost control over Gav-Yam. Income was reclassified to discontinued operations and no longer forms part of this segment in this fiscal year. The comparative information has been adjusted accordingly. As of September 2019, Gav-Yam started to be accounted for as an associate.
 
●
The “Supermarkets” segment in which, through Shufersal, the Group operated a supermarket chain in Israel. Upon the loss of control in 2018 this segment was reclassified to discontinued operations and presented as an associate since 2019. Due to the loss of control, it was reclassified to discontinued operations and no longer represents a segment for fiscal year 2018.
 
●
The “Telecommunications” segment includes Cellcom whose main activities include the provision of mobile phone services, fixed line phone services, data, Internet and television, among others.
 
●
The “Insurance” segment includes the investment in Clal, insurance company which main activities includes pension and social security insurance, among others. As stated in Note 14, the Group does not have control over Clal; therefore, the business is reported in a single line as a financial asset held for sale and valued at fair value.
 
●
The “Others” segment includes other diverse business activities, such as technological developments, tourism, oil and gas assets, electronics, agricultural activities and others.
 
●
The “Corporate” segment includes the expenses related with the activities of the holding companies.
 
Goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of established prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.

Results of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
 
Revenues 2020 vs. 2019
 
Total revenues, according to the income statement, increased by ARS $2,601 million (6.5%), from ARS 40,052 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 42,653 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Such increase was mainly due to a ARS 7.448 million increase in the Agricultural Business, which went from ARS 19,997 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 27,445 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, and a ARS 4,847 million increase in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
Revenues from our joint ventures increased by ARS 35 million (35%), from a loss of ARS 100 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (out of which ARS 81 million are allocated to the Shopping Malls segment; ARS 18 million to the Offices segment, and ARS 1 million to the Sales and Developments segment of the Operations Center in Argentina) to a loss of ARS 65 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (out of which ARS 56 million are allocated to the Shopping Malls segment and ARS 9 million to the Offices segment of the Operations Center in Argentina).
 
In turn, total revenues on account of building administration expenses and promotion fund decreased by ARS 653 million (16.4%), from ARS 3,990 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 3,337 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
 
Revenues from inter-segment transactions varied by ARS 314 million (55.4%), from ARS 567 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 881 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
 
Therefore, according to information by segments (taking into account the profit/ (loss) from operations from our joint ventures and excluding those related to building administration expenses and collective promotion fund and business inter-segment transactions), total revenues increased by ARS 3,533 million (9.6%), from ARS 36,729 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 40,262 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. This was mainly due to a ARS 7,749 million increase in the Agricultural Business and a ARS 4,216 million decrease in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
Agricultural Business
 
According to information by segments (taking into account all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations), total revenues increased by ARS 7,749 million (37.8%), from ARS 20,522 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 28,271 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
 
Agricultural Production. Revenues from the Agricultural Production segment rose by 54.8% from ARS 11,952 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 18,503 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Such increase is mainly attributable to:
 
●
An ARS 4,828 million increase in revenues from crop sales, resulting from a 5.1% decrease in the average price of crops sold, from ARS 14,890 per ton in fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 14,130 per ton in fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, offset by an increase of 368,865 tons in the volume of crops sold in fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the previous fiscal year.
 
●
An ARS 566 million rise in revenues from sugarcane sales, resulting from an increase of 260,753 tons (13%) in the volume of sugarcane sold in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 compared to the previous fiscal year, coupled with a 6% rise in the average price of sugarcane sold, from ARS 1,452 per ton in fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 1,536 per ton in fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, as a result of an improvement in sugarcane quality (higher TRS, i.e., total recoverable sugar);
 
●
An ARS 1,127 million increase in revenues from cattle sales, primarily attributable to a 45% rise in tons of cattle sold in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 compared to the previous fiscal year, coupled with a 57% rise in the average price of cattle; and
 
●
An ARS 30 million increase in revenues from leases and services attributable to: (i) an increase of ARS 271 million (70%) in revenues from seed production mainly caused by an increase in the hectares leased to third parties in Brazil plus the collection of an additional amount on account of productivity over the yields, offset by a decrease in the sales price of the corn and soybean seed service in Argentina; and (ii) a ARS 72 million decrease in revenues from feedlot services and pastures.
 
Others. Revenues from the Others segment increased by 14.0% from ARS 8,570 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 9,768 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Such increase is mainly attributable to:
 
●
An ARS 500 million increase in revenues from agro-industrial activities, due to the fact that, although the volume remained stable, in this fiscal year the share of sales to the external market increased over total sales, generating a double impact on gain (loss) by the effect of the increase in the exchange rate. The volume of domestic sales decreased, but prices remained in line with the inflation for the fiscal year.
 
●
An ARS 698 million increase in revenues from sales on consignment, brokerage fees and others, due to a higher volume of crop trading transactions and sales of supplies in the current year, boosted by the effect of devaluation.
 
Urban Properties and Investment Business
 
According to information by segments (taking into account all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations), total revenues decreased by ARS 4,216 million (26%), from ARS 16,207 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, to ARS 11,991 million in the fiscal year ended June 30.
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
Shopping Malls. Revenues from the Shopping Malls segment decreased by 30.5% from ARS 9,195 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 6,389 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Such fall is mainly attributable to: (i) a ARS 2,056 million decrease in revenues from permanent and variable leases (total sales of our lessees dropped from ARS 101,665 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 75,321 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020; (ii) an ARS 211 million decrease in Other revenues mainly attributable to the termination of the Walmart agreement; (iii) an ARS 200 million decrease in revenues from parking fees; and (iv) an ARS 163 million decrease in revenues from admission fees.
 
Offices. Revenues from the Offices segment increased by 5.4% from ARS 2,408 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 2,539 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The variation is mainly attributable to a 6% increase in revenues from leases from ARS 2,365 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 to ARS 2,508 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, mainly as a result of an increase in the rental of the PH Office Park and Zeta Buildings and the effect of the exchange rate variation.
 
Sales and Developments. Revenues from the Sales and Developments segment recorded a 34.3% decrease, from ARS 1,205 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 791 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. This segment often varies significantly from fiscal year to fiscal year due to the non-recurrence of different sales transactions carried out by the Group over time.
 
Hotels. Revenues from our Hotels segment decreased by 31.6% from ARS 3,179 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to ARS 2,176 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, mainly due to a decrease in revenues from Hoteles Argentino S.A.U. as a result of the deflagging process and due to the fact that revenues were significantly affected by a decline in the activity since March due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
International. Revenues from our International segment decreased by 20% to ARS 15 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 due to an ARS 12 million decrease in revenues from leases.

Operations Center in Argentina
 
The net impact of prices in pesos of our properties was primarily a consequence of the changes in the macroeconomic conditions: (i) a decrease in the estimated GDP growth rate in Argentina for 2020 from 2.2% to -11%, (ii) between June 2019 and June 2020, the Argentine Peso depreciated 66% against the U.S. Dollar (from ARS 42.26 per USD1 to ARS 70.26 per USD1), which mainly generated a reduction in the estimated cash flow in U.S. Dollars from our Shopping Malls segment; and (iii) an increase of 8 basis points in the discount rate in dollars used to discount the estimated cash flow from the Shopping Malls segment.
 
The Argentine office market is a liquid market, in which a significant number of counterparties participate and frequently carry out purchase and sale transactions. This situation shows sales prices that are relevant and representative in the market. In addition, lease agreements are denominated in dollars for an average 3-year term, thus generating a stable dollar-denominated cash flow from this business. In this sense, the “market approach” method (value of comparable assets in the market) is used to assess the fair value of the Offices and Others segments, the value per square meter being the most representative metrics.
 
Since September 2019, the real estate market started to show certain changes in its operations as a result of the implementation of regulations in the foreign exchange market. Consequently, the most probable scenario is that any sale of office buildings / land reserves be paid in pesos at an implied exchange rate higher than the official rate, which is shown in the transactions carried out by the Company before and after the end of these financial statements. Therefore, the Company has valued its offices buildings and land reservations in pesos at the end of the year on the basis of the above-described situation, which derives in a gain compared to previously booked values.

Financial results, net 2020 vs 2019
 
The Group financial results, net recorded a variation of ARS 18,400 million, from a loss of ARS 3,571 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 to a loss of ARS 21,971 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. This was mainly due to: (i) an increase in interest expense in the Agricultural Business mainly attributable to the Notes, which increased from 6.33% to 7.96%. Furthermore, indebtedness in dollars increased by USD 348 million due to the issuance of Notes XXV, XXVII, XXVII and XXIX. This was offset by the repayment of the Notes XVIII and XXII in the amount of USD 54 million. In turn, Note XXVI was issued in Pesos in an amount of ARS 1,179 million at Badlar variable interest rate, currently set at 36%. Other impact on interest was due to an increase in ER, as well as interest under IFRS 16 that are not recognized for comparative purposes because same are charged on a prospective basis. As concerns the Real Estate business segment, interest on Notes increased by 61% from ARS 1,314 million to ARS 2,119 million. Increase of overdraft interest mainly derives from an increase in the range of interest rate, from 36% to 150% for fiscal year 2020, whereas in fiscal year 2019 such increase was in the range of 39% to 106%; (ii) Increased loss for exchange difference in the Agricultural Business and the Real Estate segment in the Operations Center in Argentina of approximately ARS 13,824 million, because the exchange difference of the 4th quarter in fiscal year 2020 was the consequence of a Peso depreciation of approximately 66% whereas the inflation of the fiscal year was lower, reaching 43% unlike 4th quarter in 2019 where Peso depreciation and inflation rates were more similar, as Peso depreciation reached 48% whereas the inflation rate ultimately reached 56%. As a result of these variables, the net exchange difference of the inflation effect was considerably higher in this fiscal year; (iii) the main loss in profit/(loss) for derivative financial instruments, in the Agricultural Business segment, is mainly attributed to the BrasilAgro transactions, where transactions in US dollars recorded a significant loss due to the US dollar fluctuation, with an ER that increased from 3.80 to 5.50, together with variations in soybean prices; and (iv) a higher loss of approximately ARS 13,521 million in Profit/(loss) for assessment at fair value of financial assets and liabilities, mainly from the Real Estate Business segment of the Operations Center in Israel, due to changes in the assessment at fair value of CLAL shares. The share price changed from NIS 60.80 to NIS 28.86. As of June 30, 2020, 8.5% of shares are directly held whereas 2.1% are held through swaps.

Results of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
 
Revenues 2019 vs 2018
 
Total revenues, according to the income statement, increased by ARS 4,298 million (12%), from ARS 35,754 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to ARS 40,052 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Such increase was mainly due to a ARS 3,765 million increase in the Agricultural Business, which went from ARS 16,232 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to ARS 19,997 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and a ARS 533 million increase in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
In turn, total revenues on account of expenses and promotion fund decreased by ARS 733 million (16%), from ARS 4,723 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to ARS 3,990 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
 
Revenues from inter-segment transactions varied by ARS 210 million (59%), from a loss of ARS 357 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to a loss of ARS 567 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
 
Therefore, according to information by segments (taking into account the profit/ (loss) from operations from our joint ventures and without considering those from expenses and collective promotion fund or inter-segment transactions), total revenues increased by ARS 5,221 million (17%), from ARS 31,508 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to ARS 36,729 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Such increase was mainly due to a ARS 3,952 million increase in the Agricultural Business and a ARS 1,269 million increase in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
Agricultural Business
 
According to information by segments (taking into account all our joint ventures, and inter-segment eliminations), total revenues increased by ARS 3,952 million (24%), from ARS 16,570 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to ARS 20,522 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
 
Agricultural Production. Total revenues from the Agricultural Production segment rose by 22% from ARS 9,793 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 to ARS 11,952 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Such increase is mainly attributable to:
 
●
A ARS 1,548 million increase in revenues from crop sales, resulting from a 36% increase in the average price of crops sold, from ARS 10,862 per ton in fiscal year 2018 to ARS 14,771 per ton in fiscal year 2019, offset by a decrease of 39,676 tons in the volume of crops sold in fiscal year 2019 as compared to the previous fiscal year.
 
●
A ARS 649 million rise in revenues from sugarcane sales, resulting from an increase of 242,460 tons (14%) in the volume of sugarcane sold fiscal year 2019 compared to the previous fiscal year, coupled with a 15% rise in the average price of sugarcane sold, from ARS 1,247 per ton in fiscal year 2018 to ARS 1,431 per ton in fiscal year 2019, as a result of an improvement in sugarcane quality (higher TRS, i.e., total recoverable sugar);
 
●
A ARS 42 million decrease in revenues from cattle sales, primarily attributable to a decrease of 5,557 tons in the volume of cattle sold in fiscal year 2019 compared to the previous fiscal year, partially offset by a 25% rise in the average price of cattle, as well as a decrease in the sale of milk caused by the discontinuation of the activity in the previous fiscal year; and
 
●
A ARS 260 million increase in revenues from rentals and services attributable to: (i) an increase of ARS 160 million (42%) in revenues from seed production mainly caused by an increase in the sale price of the corn and soybean seed service in Argentina; and an increase in the hectares leased to third parties in Brazil added to the collection of an additional amount for productivity on the yields; and (ii) a ARS 107 million increase in revenues from Feed Lot services and pastures.
 
Others. Revenues from the Others segment increased by 26.5% from ARS 6,777 million during fiscal year 2018 to ARS 8,570 million during fiscal year 2019. Such increase is attributable to:
 
●
A ARS 1,015 million increase in revenues from agro-industrial activities, due to the fact that, although the volume remained stable, in this fiscal year the share of sales to the external market increase over total sales, from 31% in fiscal year 2018 to 43% in fiscal year 2019, generating a double impact on gain (loss) by the effect of the increase in the exchange rate. The volume of domestic sales decreased, but prices remained in line with the inflation for the year;
 
●

Such variation was mainly a result of:
 
●
A lesser loss in profits from cattle production of ARS 284 million, mainly generated by Argentina, derived, on the one hand, from beef cattle, since the increase in prices in fiscal year 2019 was higher than in the prior fiscal year; furthermore, during such fiscal year cattle was lot-fed to mitigate the draught effects generating more kilograms produced, but also higher feeding costs; and on the other hand, from the income obtained during this fiscal year derived from the wool production, due an increase in the prices; and
 
●
An increase in profits from crop production of ARS 262 million, mainly generated in Argentina as a result of a higher planted area and better corn and soybean yields; and better wheat prices and yields during this fiscal year; and in Bolivia as a result of a significant improvement in soybean yields (64%) and a cost reduction; while Brazil registered a negative variation originated by soybean due to lower prices and yields as well as increased costs; offset by;
 
●
A decrease in the result of sugarcane production of ARS 79 million, mainly in Brazil due to an increase in production costs derived from the fact that during the current fiscal year cultural and irrigation works were carried out in the San José farmland, as compared to the previous fiscal year when this farmland had been incorporated with the cane already planted; and, additionally, the cutting, hauling and transportation costs also grew up as a result of the increase in fuels. This was partially offset by the improvement in the Bolivian production results, as a result of an increase in the cultivated area during this fiscal year.

A decrease in the result of agro-industrial activity of ARS 16 million

Such variation is mainly generated by Argentina, particularly by the soybean, due to the fact that in the previous fiscal year the prices had an upward trend while during the current fiscal year the trend was downward as a consequence of the trade war between China and USA; in addition, although corn and wheat prices raised in both fiscal years, they were not in line with inflation, particularly in the current fiscal year.

Operations Center in Argentina
 
Shopping Malls
 
The shopping -Malls portfolio decreased between the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as the end of the concession we had for Buenos Aires Design took place.
 
The net impact in the peso values of our properties was primarily a consequence of macroeconomic changes: (i) from june 2018 to june 2019, the Argentinian peso depreciated 47% against US Dolar (from ARS 28.75 per dolar to ARS 42.26 per dolar), which had a direct impact in a less projected cash flows in US Dolar from our Shopping Malls segment; and (ii) an increase of 234 basis points on the discount rate in US dolar, which it is used to discount the projected cash flow from Shopping Malls segment.
 
Offices, Sales and Developments, International and Others
 
Net gain/(loss) from actual fair value adjustment of investment properties included in these segments decreased by 91,8% during the year ended June 30, 2019.
 
The Argentine office market is a liquid market, in which a significant volume of counterparties participates and frequently carries out purchase and sale transactions. This allows to observe sale prices that are relevant and representative in the market. Furthermore, lease agreements are denominated in dollars for an average term of 3 years, with the current business thus generating a stable cash flow in dollars, In this sense, the “Market approach” technique is used (market comparable values) for the determination of the fair value of these segments, with the value per square meter being the most representative metric.
 
Changes in fair value from our Shopping Malls segment differ from our offices segment because the nature of each business is different and prices depend on factors that may not have similarly over time. As we mentioned before, the office property market is dominated by investors and owners that seek medium- to long-term leases and perceive real estate as a safe dollar-denominated investment option. In contrast, the shopping mall segment is a relatively new industry in Argentina where the first shopping mall opened in 1990, compared to markets such as the United States and Brazil where the industry began in the 1950’s and 1960’s, respectively.

Results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
 
Revenues 2020 vs. 2019
 
Total revenues, according to the income statement, increased by ARS 3,406 million (26.0%), from ARS 13,082 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 9,676 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Such decrease was mainly due to a ARS 532 million decrease in the Agricultural Business, which went from ARS 8,601 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 8,069 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, and a ARS 2,874 million decrease in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
Total revenues from joint ventures increased by ARS 18 million (69.2%), from a loss of ARS 26 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to a loss of ARS 8 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
In turn, total revenues on account of building administration expenses and promotion fund decreased by ARS 504 million (55.4%), from ARS 909 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 405 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
Revenues from inter-segment transactions varied by ARS 104 million (54.5%), from ARS 191 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 295 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
Therefore, according to information by segments (taking into account the profit/ (loss) from operations from our joint ventures and excluding those related to building administration expenses and collective promotion fund and business inter-segment transactions), total revenues decreased by ARS 2,816 million (22.7%), from ARS 12,390 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 9,574 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. This was mainly due to a ARS 422 million decrease in the Agricultural Business and a ARS 2,394 million decrease in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
Agricultural Business
 
According to information by segments (taking into account all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations), total revenues decreased by ARS 422 million (4.8%), from ARS 8,777 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 8,355 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
Agricultural Production. Revenues from the Agricultural Production segment decrease by 7.7% from ARS 6,222 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 5,741 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Such increase is mainly attributable to:
 
●
An ARS 333 million decrease in revenues from crop sales, resulting from a 10.2% decrease in the average price of crops sold, from ARS 13,986 per ton in period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 12,557 per ton in period ended September 30, 2020, offset by an increase of 5,896 tons in the volume of crops sold in period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the previous period.
 
●
An ARS 288 million decrease in revenues from sugarcane sales, resulting from an increase of 18,266 tons (2%) in the volume of sugarcane sold in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the previous period, coupled with a 15% decrease in the average price of sugarcane sold, from ARS 1,649 per ton in period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 1,401 per ton in period ended September 30, 2020, as a result of an improvement in sugarcane quality (higher TRS, i.e., total recoverable sugar);
 
●
An ARS 160 million increase in revenues from cattle sales, primarily attributable to a 21% rise in tons of cattle sold in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the previous period, coupled with a 11% decrease in the average price of cattle; and
 
●
An ARS 20 million decrease in revenues from leases and services attributable to: (i) an increase of ARS 2 million (6%) in revenues from leases mainly caused by an increase in the hectares leased to third parties in Brazil and their value (due to the increase in the price of soybeans); and (ii) a ARS 22 million decrease in revenues from feedlot services and pastures.
 
Others. Revenues from the Others segment increased by 2.3% from ARS 2,555 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 2,614 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Such increase is mainly attributable to:
 
●
An ARS 40 million decrease in revenues from agro-industrial activities, due to a lower volume sold in the local market, and their lower average sales prices, which is partially offset by an increase in the volume of sales to the foreign market (approx. a rise of 18%), but a lower average prices compared to the previous period, due to the low values of the Chinese market, and the lower Hilton and Kosher volume operated.
 
●

In addition, lease agreements are denominated in dollars for an average 3-year term, thus generating a stable dollar-denominated cash flow from this business. In this sense, the “market approach” method (value of comparable assets in the market) is used to assess the fair value of the Offices and Others segments, the value per square meter being the most representative metrics.
 
Since September 2019, the real estate market started to show certain changes in its operations as a result of the implementation of regulations in the foreign exchange market. Consequently, the most probable scenario is that any sale of office buildings / land reserves be paid in pesos at an implied exchange rate higher than the official rate, which is shown in the transactions carried out by the Company before and after the end of these financial statements. Therefore, the Company has valued its offices buildings and land reservations in pesos at the end of the year on the basis of the above-described situation, which derives in a gain compared to previously booked values.

This was mainly due to: (i) an increase in interest expense in the Agricultural Business mainly due to the Notes, due to an increase in the debt of USD 141,237, due to the issuance of Notes XXV, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX and XXX for USD 59,561, USD 5,747, USD 27,462, USD 83,025 and USD 25,003 respectively. The mentioned increase is offset by a decrease in the average rate, which went from 7.8523% to 6.6172%. Likewise, the increase in exchange rate (24%) also had an impact on interest; (ii) in the Real Estate Business, the variation in interest on Notes is due to a decrease in the debt in dollars, for USD 22 million, offset with the issuance of Class 3 and Class 6 Notes in pesos, by ARS 689 million. (iii) for bank loans in USD, due to the increase in the average rate from 3.12% to 5.61% between September 2019 and September 2020; with a 24% increase in the exchange rate with respect to the same period of the 2020 period. Said effects are mitigated by the decrease in debt by USD 138,057 and the increase in the exchange rate with respect to the previous period. This is offset by the decrease in overdraft interest, mainly due to the decrease in the range of interest rates, which were from 21% to 75% for the 2021 period, while for 2020 they were in the range of 59% to 130%; (iv) The decrease in the foreign exchange net of ARS 14,654 million is caused by the decrease due to the devaluation and the decrease in debt in foreign currency. The difference between devaluation and inflation tends to zero, while as of September 30, 2019 the difference between devaluation and inflation is 23%. This added to the fact that within the Group the loans in dollars were canceled through a loan in pesos in Galicia Bank of 230 million and Santander Rio through the transformation of the USD 6,0 million loan into a bank overdraft of $ 388 million; (v) The main loss in the results for derivative financial instruments, in the Agricultural Business is mainly due to the fact that in the current period there were more purchases than sales contracts and the average price between the price of the NDF versus the spot price was USD (1.176). While, in September 2019, the average difference between the price of NDFs versus spot is USD 0.406.

Results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
 
Revenues 2020 vs. 2019
 
Total revenues, according to the income statement, increased by ARS 3,406 million (26.0%), from ARS 13,082 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 9,676 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Such decrease was mainly due to a ARS 532 million decrease in the Agricultural Business, which went from ARS 8,601 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 8,069 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, and a ARS 2,874 million decrease in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
Total revenues from joint ventures increased by ARS 18 million (69.2%), from a loss of ARS 26 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to a loss of ARS 8 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
In turn, total revenues on account of building administration expenses and promotion fund decreased by ARS 504 million (55.4%), from ARS 909 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 405 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
Revenues from inter-segment transactions varied by ARS 104 million (54.5%), from ARS 191 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 295 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
Therefore, according to information by segments (taking into account the profit/ (loss) from operations from our joint ventures and excluding those related to building administration expenses and collective promotion fund and business inter-segment transactions), total revenues decreased by ARS 2,816 million (22.7%), from ARS 12,390 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 9,574 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. This was mainly due to a ARS 422 million decrease in the Agricultural Business and a ARS 2,394 million decrease in the Urban Properties and Investment Business.
 
Agricultural Business
 
According to information by segments (taking into account all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations), total revenues decreased by ARS 422 million (4.8%), from ARS 8,777 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 8,355 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
Agricultural Production. Revenues from the Agricultural Production segment decrease by 7.7% from ARS 6,222 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 5,741 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Such increase is mainly attributable to:
 
●
An ARS 333 million decrease in revenues from crop sales, resulting from a 10.2% decrease in the average price of crops sold, from ARS 13,986 per ton in period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 12,557 per ton in period ended September 30, 2020, offset by an increase of 5,896 tons in the volume of crops sold in period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the previous period.
 
●
An ARS 288 million decrease in revenues from sugarcane sales, resulting from an increase of 18,266 tons (2%) in the volume of sugarcane sold in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the previous period, coupled with a 15% decrease in the average price of sugarcane sold, from ARS 1,649 per ton in period ended September 30, 2019 to ARS 1,401 per ton in period ended September 30, 2020, as a result of an improvement in sugarcane quality (higher TRS, i.e., total recoverable sugar);
 
●
An ARS 160 million increase in revenues from cattle sales, primarily attributable to a 21% rise in tons of cattle sold in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 compared to the previous period, coupled with a 11% decrease in the average price of cattle; and
 
●
An ARS 20 million decrease in revenues from leases and services attributable to: (i) an increase of ARS 2 million (6%) in revenues from leases mainly caused by an increase in the hectares leased to third parties in Brazil and their value (due to the increase in the price of soybeans); and (ii) a ARS 22 million decrease in revenues from feedlot services and pastures.

Excluding the changes in the fair value of investment properties from the Operations Center in Israel, changes in the fair value of investment properties, according to information by segments, decreased by 93.5%.
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
The net result from changes in fair value of investment properties for the period ended September 30, 2020, according to information by segment, was a gain of ARS 24,467 million (a gain of ARS 1,178 million from our segment Shopping Malls; a gain of ARS 12,653 million from the Offices segment; a gain of ARS 10,096 million from the Sales and Developments segment; a gain of ARS 2 million from the International segment and a gain of ARS 538 million from the Others segment).
 
The net impact of prices in pesos of our properties was primarily a consequence of the changes in the macroeconomic conditions: (i) a decrease in the estimated GDP growth rate in Argentina for 2020 remained in order of -11.5%, (ii) between June 2019 and June 2020, the Argentine Peso depreciated 8% against the U.S. Dollar (from ARS 70.26 per USD1 to ARS 75.98 per USD1), which mainly generated a reduction in the estimated cash flow in U.S. Dollars from our Shopping Malls segment.
 
The Argentine office market is a liquid market, in which a significant number of counterparties participate and frequently carry out purchase and sale transactions. This situation shows sales prices that are relevant and representative in the market. In addition, lease agreements are denominated in dollars for an average 3-year term, thus generating a stable dollar-denominated cash flow from this business. In this sense, the “market approach” method (value of comparable assets in the market) is used to assess the fair value of the Offices and Others segments, the value per square meter being the most representative metrics.
 
Since September 2019, the real estate market started to show certain changes in its operations as a result of the implementation of regulations in the foreign exchange market. Consequently, the most probable scenario is that any sale of office buildings / land reserves be paid in pesos at an implied exchange rate higher than the official rate, which is shown in the transactions carried out by the Company before and after the end of these financial statements. Therefore, the Company has valued its offices buildings and land reservations in pesos at the end of the year on the basis of the above-described situation, which derives in a gain compared to previously booked values.

This was mainly due to: (i) an increase in interest expense in the Agricultural Business mainly due to the Notes, due to an increase in the debt of USD 141,237, due to the issuance of Notes XXV, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX and XXX for USD 59,561, USD 5,747, USD 27,462, USD 83,025 and USD 25,003 respectively. The mentioned increase is offset by a decrease in the average rate, which went from 7.8523% to 6.6172%. Likewise, the increase in exchange rate (24%) also had an impact on interest; (ii) in the Real Estate Business, the variation in interest on Notes is due to a decrease in the debt in dollars, for USD 22 million, offset with the issuance of Class 3 and Class 6 Notes in pesos, by ARS 689 million. (iii) for bank loans in USD, due to the increase in the average rate from 3.12% to 5.61% between September 2019 and September 2020; with a 24% increase in the exchange rate with respect to the same period of the 2020 period. Said effects are mitigated by the decrease in debt by USD 138,057 and the increase in the exchange rate with respect to the previous period. This is offset by the decrease in overdraft interest, mainly due to the decrease in the range of interest rates, which were from 21% to 75% for the 2021 period, while for 2020 they were in the range of 59% to 130%; (iv) The decrease in the foreign exchange net of ARS 14,654 million is caused by the decrease due to the devaluation and the decrease in debt in foreign currency. The difference between devaluation and inflation tends to zero, while as of September 30, 2019 the difference between devaluation and inflation is 23%. This added to the fact that within the Group the loans in dollars were canceled through a loan in pesos in Galicia Bank of 230 million and Santander Rio through the transformation of the USD 6,0 million loan into a bank overdraft of $ 388 million; (v) The main loss in the results for derivative financial instruments, in the Agricultural Business is mainly due to the fact that in the current period there were more purchases than sales contracts and the average price between the price of the NDF versus the spot price was USD (1.176). While, in September 2019, the average difference between the price of NDFs versus spot is USD 0.406.

Operations Center in Israel
 
It should be noted that the financial position of IDBD and DIC and their subsidiaries in the Operations Center in Israel does not adversely affect IRSA’s cash flows to satisfy the debts of IRSA.
 
Moreover, the commitments and other restrictions resulting from IDBD’s indebtedness have no effects on IRSA, as it qualifies as non-recourse debt against IRSA, and IRSA has not given its assets as collateral for such debt either.
 
C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTS, PATENTS AND LICENSES
 
Insurance
 
Agricultural Business
 
We carry insurance policies with insurance companies that we consider to be financially sound. We employ multi-risk insurance for our farming facilities and industrial properties, which covers property damage, negligence liability, fire, falls, collapse, lightning and gas explosion, electrical and water damages, theft, and business interruption. Such insurance policies have specifications, limits and deductibles which we believe are customary. Nevertheless, they do not cover damages to our crops. We carry directors and officer’s insurance covering management’s civil liability, as well as legally mandated insurance, including employee personal injury. We also provide life or disability insurance for our employees as benefits.
 
We believe our insurance policies are adequate to protect us against the risks for which we are covered. Nevertheless, some potential losses are not covered by insurance and certain kinds of insurance coverage may become prohibitively expensive.
 
The types of insurance used by us are the following:
 
Insured Property

D. TREND INFORMATION
 
International Macroeconomic Outlook
 
As reported in the IMF’s “World Economic Outlook,” world GDP is expected to de reduced (4.9)% in 2020 and recover 5.4% in 2021. As with the April 2020 WEO projections, there is a higher-than-usual degree of uncertainty around this forecast. The baseline projection rests on key assumptions about the fallout from the pandemic. In economies with declining infection rates, the slower recovery path in the updated forecast reflects persistent social distancing into the second half of 2020; greater scarring (damage to supply potential) from the larger-than-anticipated hit to activity during the lockdown in the first and second quarters of 2020; and a hit to productivity as surviving businesses ramp up necessary workplace safety and hygiene practices. For economies struggling to control infection rates, a lengthier lockdown will inflict an additional toll on activity. Moreover, the forecast assumes that financial conditions—which have eased following the release of the April 2020 WEO — will remain broadly at current levels. Alternative outcomes to those in the baseline are clearly possible, and not just because of how the pandemic is evolving.
 
All countries including those that have seemingly passed peaks in infections—should ensure that their health care systems are adequately resourced. The international community must vastly step up its support of national initiatives, including through financial assistance to countries with limited health care capacity and channeling of funding for vaccine production as trials advance, so that adequate, affordable doses are quickly available to all countries. Where lockdowns are required, economic policy should continue to cushion household income losses with sizable, well-targeted measures as well as provide support to firms suffering the consequences of mandated restrictions on activity. Where economies are reopening, targeted support should be gradually unwound as the recovery gets underway, and policies should provide stimulus to lift demand and ease and incentivize the reallocation of resources away from sectors likely to emerge persistently smaller after the pandemic.
 
Strong multilateral cooperation remains essential on multiple fronts. Liquidity assistance is urgently needed for countries confronting health crises and external funding shortfalls, including through debt relief and financing through the global financial safety net. Beyond the pandemic, policymakers must cooperate to resolve trade and technology tensions that endanger an eventual recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, building on the record drop in greenhouse gas emissions during the pandemic, policymakers should both implement their climate change mitigation commitments and work together to scale up equitably designed carbon taxation or equivalent schemes. The global community must act now to avoid a repeat of this catastrophe by building global stockpiles of essential supplies and protective equipment, funding research and supporting public health systems, and putting in place effective modalities for delivering relief to the neediest.
 
Argentine macroeconomic context
 
At the end of 2019, the economy faced a severe balance of payments crisis and public debt. Faced with this scenario, the National Government adopted a set of measures designed to face the most immediate manifestations of the crisis and to stabilize the macroeconomy. Regarding monetary policy, the Central Bank of Argentina defined a series of guidelines, highlighting the referring to interest rates and exchange rate management. Foreign exchange regulations and the moderation in prices linked to the limited volatility of the exchange rate allowed a marked reduction of the LELIQ rate from 68% to 38% nominal annually. The progress made the financial system better prepared to face the emergency caused by COVID-19.
 
Shopping malls sales reached a total ARS 3,758.5 million in September 2020, which represents a 71.4% decrease as compared to fiscal 2019.
 
The INDEC reported that, for the ten months ended October 31, 2020, industrial activity in Argentina contracted by 9.9% compared to the same period in 2019. The textile industry accumulated a 32.2% contraction during the first ten months of 2020 as compared to the same period last year. Moreover, the monthly estimation of economic activity (“EMAE”) as of September 30, 2020, contracted by 6.9% compared to the same month in 2019.
 
Regarding the balance of payments, in the second quarter of 2020 the current account superavit reached USD 2,824 million, with USD 4,971 million allocated to the goods and services trade balance, and USD 2,484 million to the net primary deficit, and a surplus of USD 337 million to net secondary income.
 
During the second quarter of 2020, the financial account showed net outflow of USD 2,514 million, explained by the net acquisition of financial assets for USD 893 million, and net cancellation of liabilities of USD 1,621 million. The sectors that have explained these outflows have been Other sectors for USD 2,433 million and the Government for USD 1,324 million, partially offsetting by the net income of the Central Bank for USD 1,293 million. The international reserves decreased by USD 793 million during the second quarter of 2020.
 
As of December 18, 2020, the Private Badlar rate in Pesos peaked at 34.31%. As of December 22, 2020, the seller exchange rate quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina was of ARS 83.25 pesos per USD1.00.

Likewise, in the national and international framework described above, the Company periodically analyzes alternatives to appreciate its shares value. In that sense, the Board of Directors of the Company will continue in the evaluation of financial, economic and / or corporate tools that allow the Company to improve its position in the market in which it operates and have the necessary liquidity to meet its obligations. Within the framework of this analysis, the indicated tools may be linked to corporate reorganization processes (merger, spin-off or a combination of both), disposal of assets in public and / or private form that may include real estate as well as negotiable securities owned by the Company, incorporation of shareholders through capital increases through the public offering of shares to attract new capital, repurchase of shares and instruments similar to those described that are useful to the proposed objectives.
 
Agriculture and Cattle Raising Sector in Argentina
 
Agriculture
 
Argentina has positioned itself over the years as one of the world’s leading food producers and exporters. It is the second largest country in South America after Brazil and has particularly favorable natural conditions for diversified agricultural production: vast extensions of fertile land and varied soil and weather patterns.
 
During the decade of the nineties, the Argentine agriculture and cattle raising industry experienced sweeping changes, such as a significant increase in production and yield (thanks to a sustained agricultural modernization process), relocation of production (crops vs. livestock) and a significant restructuring process within the industry, as well as increased land concentration. Taking advantage of a favorable international context, the agriculture and cattle raising sector has been one of the major drivers of the Argentine recovery after the economic and financial crisis of 2002.
 
According to the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates Repro published by the United States Department of Agriculture on September 11, 2020, world soybean production for the season 2020/2021 is expected to be about 369,74 million tons, an increase of 9.5% as compared to the season 2019/2020.
 
World corn production is expected to about 1,162.4 million tons for season 2020/2021, 4.5% higher than in the previous season.
 
The policies implemented by the new government ever since taking office have led to better projections for the agricultural industry. Mainly, the strong devaluation of the peso and tax reductions on exports have improved the situation of agricultural growers. Withholding taxes on corn and wheat have been reinstated at 10%, whereas withholding taxes on soybean have been modified to 18% export tax over the FOB prices plus ARS 4 per dollar.
 
In addition, on October 2, 2020, a temporary reduction on certain export duty rates was established for a series of soybean products and by-products. This is a temporary reduction and will be applied from October 2020 until January 2021, at which time export duties will be gradually taxed again at the same rate they were before the decree came in force.
 
Cattle
 
As reported by SENASA, with an aggregate stock of 54,460,799 heads as of March 31, 2020, the cattle stock has decreased slightly by 1.00% as compared to the same period of the previous year. For the decade in a row, the cattle stock surpassed 48 million heads.
 
As reported by the Argentine Chamber of Beef Commerce and Industry (Cámara de la Industria y Comercio de Carnes y Derivados de la República Argentina, “Ciccra”), consumption of cattle beef per capita was 50.5 kilograms per year on average for September 2020, accounting for a year-on-year decrease of 2.7%. Domestic consumption accounts for 72.8% of production, representing a year-on-year decrease of 2.1%.

According to Colliers International, as of September 30, 2020, the A+ and A office inventory is 1,827,742 sqm. The vacancy rate was steady at approximately 14.2% during the third quarter of 2020. These values indicate that the market is healthy in terms of its operations, allowing an optimum level of supply with robust values.
 
Compared to the previous quarter, the Premium Offices prices increased in the order of USD 25.5 per square meter compared to the previous quarter. The prices for A+ properties were USD 30.0 per square meter for the second quarter of 2020. In this context, Catalinas presents as the zone with higher prices per square meter, reaching an average of USD 29.2. Likewise, the industry reported a USD/m2 1.2 decreased in rental prices for A+ properties compared to the second quarter of 2020.
 
Evolution of the Hotel industry in Argentina

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. In connection with the preparation of this on Form 6-K, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2020, taking into account the recast of our audited consolidated financial statements as of such date to: (a) present the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period as of September 30, 2020 (the most recent period for which financial statements are included in this Form 6-K); and (b) reflect IRSA’s loss of control in IDBD and DIC on September 25, 2020 and, consequently, the deconsolidation of such investees since that date. Based upon this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 6-K were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate Internal Control over Financial Reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting includes a series of procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements for external purposes, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, Internal Control over Financial Reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
                Management assessed the effectiveness of our Internal Control over Financial Reporting as of June 30, 2020, taking into account the recast of our audited consolidated financial statements as of such date to: (a) present the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period as of September 30, 2020 (the most recent period for which financial statements are included in this Form 6-K); and (b) reflect IRSA’s loss of control in IDBD and DIC on September 25, 2020 and, consequently, the deconsolidation of such investees since that date. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, mangement concluded that our Internal Control over Financial Reporting was effective as of June 30, 2020.
 
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
                The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, taking into account the recast of our audited consolidated financial statements as of such date to: (a) present the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period as of September 30, 2020 (the most recent period for which financial statements are included in this Form 6-K); and (b) reflect IRSA’s loss of control in IDBD and DIC on September 25, 2020 and, consequently, the deconsolidation of such investees since that date, has been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L, Buenos Aires Argentina- member firm of Pricewaterhouse Coopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, we implemented the Consolidation module of the BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) application by SAP and accordingly we have updated our internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our accounting and financial reporting processes and to take advantage of enhanced automated controls provided by this new system.
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
In our annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on October 31, 2003, the audit committee was unanimously approved. Pursuant to this plan, the board of directors had to appoint the members of the audit committee who hold expertise in corporate administration, finance and accounting.
 
Our board of directors established an audit committee which would assist the Board in exercising its duty of care on disclosure requirements, the enforcement of accounting policies, management of our business risks, the management of our internal control systems, ethical conduct of our businesses, monitoring the sufficiency of our financial statements, our compliance with laws, independence and capacity of independent auditors and performance of our internal audit and our external auditors. Also, according to the applicable regulations, we may request to our audit committee to render its opinion in certain transactions, and its conditions, as is the case of related party transactions, as may be reasonably considered adequate according to normal market conditions.
 
As of March 11, 2020 our board of directors appointed Liliana Glikin, María Gabriela Macagni and Alejandro Mario Bartolome, all of them independent members, as members of the audit committee. The board of directors named María Gabriela Macagni as the financial expert in accordance with the relevant SEC rules. We have a fully independent audit committee as per the standards provided in Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1).
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees. Our code of ethics is posted in our website www.cresud.com.ar. On July 25, 2005, our Code of Ethics was amended by our Board of Directors. The amendment was reported in a report on Form 6-K on August 1, 2005.
 
If we make any substantive amendment to the code of ethics or grant any waivers, including any implicit waiver to any of its provision, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a report on Form 6-K or in our next annual report on Form 20-F and we will post it in our website.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020, including the related notes and the summary of investment properties by type as of June 30, 2020 listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2020 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
 
Basis for Opinions
 
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing in the accompanying Form 6-K. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
 
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
Emphasis of Matter
 
As discussed in Note 1, these consolidated financial statements have been recast to (i) restate all amounts into the current unit of measurement as of September 30, 2020, and (ii) reflect the loss of control of the Company’s subsidiary IDBD.
 
As discussed in Note 37 to the consolidated financial statements, there are significant uncertainties related to the impact of the current economic context and COVID-19. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans to mitigate these matters are also described in Note 37.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

B.
General Infomation
 
Cresud 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, 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 direct principal subsidiary.
 
Cresud and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Group.
 
Main shareholders of the Company are jointly Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. and Agroinvestment S.A. Both entities are companies incorporated in Uruguay and belong to the same controlling group and ultimate beneficiary.
 
The Board of Directors has approved these Financial Statements for issuance on January 5, 2021.
 
As of June 30, 2020, the Group operates in two major lines of business: (i) agricultural business and (ii) urban properties and investments business, which is divided into two operations centers: (a) Operations Center in Argentina and (b) Operations Center in Israel. They are developed through several operating companies and the main ones are listed below (Note 7):

(i)
See Note 4 for more information about the change within the Operations Center in Israel.
 
Agricultural Business
 
Within the agricultural business, the Group, through Cresud, engaged in the operation of crop production, cattle feeding, raising, fattening and slaughtering, milk production, sugarcane production, brokerage activities and sale of supplies. The Group currently has agricultural operations and investments in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia.
 
Cresud's shares are listed on the BYMA (BYMA: CRES) and in NASDAQ (NASDAQ: CRESY). The shares of our subsidiary Brasilagro are listed and traded on both the Novo Mercado del BOVESPA (SAO: AGRO3) and the NYSE (NYSE: LND).
 
Urban Properties and Investments Business
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
The activities of the Operations Center in Argentina are mainly developed through IRSA and its principal subsidiary, IRSA CP. Through IRSA and IRSA CP, the Group owns, manages and develops 14 shopping malls across Argentina, a portfolio of offices and other rental properties in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, and it entered the United States of America (“USA”) real estate market in 2009, mainly through the acquisition of non-controlling interests in office buildings and hotels. Through IRSA or IRSA CP, 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 Consolidated Financial Statements to denote investment, development and/or trading properties activities. IRSA CP's shares are listed and traded on both the BYMA (BYMA: IRCP) and the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: IRCP). IRSA's shares are listed on the BYMA (BYMA: IRSA) and the NYSE (NYSE: IRSA).
 
The activities of the Group’s “Others” segment is carried out mainly through BHSA, where IRSA holds, directly or indirectly, a 29.91% interest.

Operations Center in Israel
 
The activities of the Operations Center in Israel were mainly developed through the subsidiaries, IDBD and DIC, whose activities correspond to one of the Israeli largest and most diversified conglomerates, which are involved, through its subsidiaries and other investments, in several markets and industries, including real estate, supermarkets, insurance, telecommunications, and others.; controlling or holding an equity interest in companies such as Clal (Insurance), Cellcom (Telecommunications), Shufersal (Supermarkets), PBC (Real Estate), among others. IDBD is listed in the TASE as a “Debentures Company” in accordance with Israeli law, since some series of bonds are traded in that Exchange. DIC shares are listed in the TASE.
 
IDBD and DIC have certain restrictions and financial agreements in relation to their financial debt, including their bonds and loans with banks and financial institutions. Regarding IDBD's financial position, its cash flow and its ability to meet its financial debt commitments, the following should be considered:
 
As of June 30, 2020, IDBD had a deficit in shareholders’ equity, ongoing negative cash flows from continuing operating activities and a low credit rating, which circumstance may cast significant doubt about IDBD´s ability to continue operating as a going concern. IDBD´s cash flow required to meet its liabilities, including short-term liabilities was based on the realization of assets for which the realization date was not under IDBD´s control. These assets included the current price of Clal’s shares and the impact thereof on swap transaction deposits and the fact that IDBD shall receive, among others, the proceeds from the sale of private investments which were directly owned by IDBD.
 
As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate principal amount of the (i) IDBD Series 9 Bonds was NIS 901 million (“Series 9”), (ii) IDBD Series 14 Bonds was NIS 889 million, collateralized by DIC shares owned directly or indirectly by IDBD representing 70% of the share capital of DIC (“Series 14”), and (iii) IDBD Series 15 Bonds was NIS 238 million, collateralized by shares of Clal representing 5% of the share capital of Clal (“Series 15”).
 
In July 2019 and in June 2020, each of debenture holders (Series 9 and Series 14) and debenture holders (Series 15), respectively, decided to appoint a representative and legal and economic advisor, inter alia, in order to maintain contact with IDBD and / or third parties and to examine proposals that would be presented to the bondholders in connection with the repayment of IDBD's obligations towards the bondholders and to evaluate IDBD’s financial position and the remedies which may be available to the debenture holders.
 
In June 2020, general meetings of the holders of IDBD's debentures were convened (all of the series, each series separately), where the resolution was not to convene a general meeting wich includes in the agenda the decision of making immediately repayable the debentures. The meetings of the debenture holders (Series 9 and Series 15), each decided to pass the said resolution; The meeting of the debenture holders (Series 14), decided not to pass the said resolution, and at a later stage instruct the trustee for debenture holders (Series 14) to postpone the date of the said meeting to September 17, 2020;  
 
In July 2020, Dolphin Netherlands and the controlling interest therein, Mr. Eduardo Elsztain committed vis-à-vis the generality of the debenture holders in IDBD, that subject to defined terms and conditions, during a certain period of time, some transactions would not be executed and/or initiated and/or promoted, and that subject to the provisions of the law, the power of control in corporations that are controlled by the controlling interest in IDBD would not be operated in order to promote any of those actions, unless notification has been delivered in writing to the trustees for debenture holders (Series 9, 14 and 15), at least 14 business days in advance.
 
On August 31, 2019, IDBD 's Audit Committee and the Board of Directors approved the acceptance of an irrevocable commitment by Dolphin Netherlands B.V. (“Dolphin Netherlands”), the controlling interest in IDBD, to make capital injections into IDBD in an overall amount of NIS 210 million, in three equal annual payments on September 2 in each of the years 2019 to 2021, which would be made in consideration for shares in IDBD or as a subordinated loan on similar terms to the subordinated loans that had been provided by the controlling interest.
 
In August 2020, IDBD received a letter from Dolphin Netherlands stating, inter alia, that given the fact that some of IDBD's bondholders are expected to include in their agenda for the bondholders' meetings, a proposal to make the outstanding balances of their bonds immediately due and payable, in preparation for the additional inflow of NIS 70 million scheduled for September 2, 2020, Dolphin Netherlands would examine its undertaking towards IDBD, taking into account the questions that arise from IDBD’s bondholders conducts and intentions. To the said Dolphin Netherlands' letter was attached a letter from IRSA to Dolphin Netherlands, according to which, among other things, IRSA would consider the validity of its undertaking to Dolphin Netherlands to transfer to it (in accordance with Dolphin Netherlands’ request) the amounts required for Dolphin Netherlands to meet its commitment to carry out the capital injections into IDBD on September 2, 2020, as aforementioned.

IDBD responded to Dolphin Netherlands’ and IRSA’s letters, noting that, among other things, Dolphin Netherlands' commitment (dated August 29, 2019) towards IDBD is binding and irrevocable, and that there is no basis for not making the capital injections into IDBD, due to other events related to IDBD’s bondholders, which do not fall within the scope of the events listed in the wording of the commitment as expropriating the validity of Dolphin Netherlands' commitment. In addition, it was also mentioned in IDBD’s response letter, that failure to make the payments into IDBD is not acceptable and would leave IDBD with no other choice than to use all its power and rights according to the law to enforce Dolphin Netherlands' commitment as well as IRSA’s undertaking.
 
Following the above mentioned, on September 13, 2020, IDBD submitted a statement of claim against Dolphin Netherlands and against IRSA, in which it has sought to require them to pay it an amount of NIS 70 million (with the addition of linkage differentials and interest in accordance with the law). In tandem with the submission of the lawsuit, as aforesaid, IDBD submitted an urgent petition for placing temporary attachments (in the presence of one party) on Dolphin Netherlands and IRSA (which was not accepted by the Court in the presence of one party and which has been passed on for the respondents to respond to the petition).
 
On June 2, 2020, IDBD received a draft proposal from Dolphin IL for IDBD and for the trustees for IDBD’s debentures (Series 9, 14 and 15) for the strengthening of IDBD 's capital structure, by way of an arrangement between Dolphin, IDBD and the debenture holders, based on an economic contribution to IDBD on Dolphin IL's part, together with a full or partial (as the case may be) redemption of the generality of IDBD's debentures. On June 21, 2020, IDBD received an updated proposal in relation to the abovementioned proposal and on June 28, 2020, Dolphin IL approached each of the trustees for the debentures with a request to put said proposal, with slight amendments, on the agenda of meetings of the debenture holders.
 
On July 6, 2020, the Meeting of debenture holders (Series 9) decided to order the trustee for debenture holders (Series 9) not to accept Dolphin IL's offe.; On July 7, 2020, the Meeting of the debenture holders (Series 14) decided to negotiate for a fixed period of one month in connection with Dolphin IL's proposal, and on July 8, 2020, the Meeting of debenture holders (Series 15) made a similar decision.
 
On September 2, 2020 IDBD received an updated offer from Dolphin IL which was addressed to it and to IDBD’s debenture holders (Series 9, 14 and 15). On September 9, 2020, Dolphin IL updated the commercial terms of its proposal for debenture holders (Series 9), and on September 16, 2020, IDBD received binding offers to debenture holders (Series 14) and debenture holders (Series 15), for the purchase of DIC shares pledged in favor of debenture holders (Series 14) of IDBD, as part of an agreed realization process.
 
As no agreement has been reached, on September 17, 2020, the Series 9 trustee submitted to the District Court in Tel-Aviv-Jaffa (the "Court") a petition to grant an order for the opening of proceedings for IDBD pursuant to the Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation Law, 5778 – 2018 and to instruct the appointment of a trustee for IDBD pursuant to Section 43 and to grant the trustee any and all authority over the decision making of IDBD (the “Petition”).
 
On September 21, 2020, the Series 14 bondholders approved the immediate fully payment of the remaining balances of such series.
 
On September 22, 2020, IDBD and Dolphin Netherlands submitted an initial response to the Petition, arguing that it is in the best interest of IDBD and its creditors to exhaust the negotiations among the controlling shareholder and its creditors during a short period with the aim to maximize the value of its assets, avoid costs and additional negative effects.
 
In addition, responses by the Series 14 trustee and the Series 15 trustee were filed requesting the enforcement of liens and the appointment of a receiver as well as an urgent hearing, which was scheduled for September 24, 2020.
 
On September 25, 2020, the Court resolved that IDBD is insolvent and therefore it resolved to grant all three orders requested and accordingly, issued an order for the initiation of proceedings and liquidation of IDBD, and has appointed a liquidator to IDBD and interim receivers over the pledged DIC and Clal Shares.
 
 Under IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” (“IFRS 10”), an investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following: a) power over the investee; b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Based on the facts and circumstances outlined above, management believe that, as from September 25, 2020, IRSA lost control over IDBD and DIC (as this term is defined by IFRS 10). Accordingly, the Group’s investment in IDBD and DIC has been deconsolidated in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020.
 
As further described in Note 1.A), these financial statements have been recast to reflect the loss of control over IDBD and DIC. Accordingly, activities from the Israel Operations Center have been presented in separate line items under “discontinued operations” in the consolidated statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and of Cash Flows for the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 y 2018. Assets and liabilities from the Israel Operations Center have been presented on a consolidated basis in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, totaling net assets of Ps. 2,160. (amount attributable to the controlling shareholder) as of June 30, 2020, from which the currency translation adjustment reserve associated of $ 1.657 should be deducted.
 
The assets and liabilities consolidated in this financial statement are as follow:
 
 
F-13
 
 
Current assets: Ps.203,058
Non-current assets: Ps.275,451
Current liabilities: Ps.109,729
Non-current liabilities: Ps.322,050
Total equity: Ps.46,730
Equity Attributable to equity holders of the parent: Ps.2,160
 
The commitments and other restrictions resulting from the indebtedness of IDBD and DIC have no effect on IRSA since said indebtedness has no recourse against IRSA, nor has IRSA guaranteed it with its assets.
 
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
 
2.1. Basis of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statement
 
(a) Basis of preparation
 
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by IASB and interpretations issued by the IFRIC. All IFRS applicable as of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied.
 
IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. To do so, in general terms, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be calculated in the non-monetary items. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements.
 
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyper-inflationary in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of an accumulated inflation rate in three years that is approximate or exceeds 100%. Accumulated inflation in Argentina in the last three years is over 100%. It is for this reason that, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentina must be considered a country with high inflation economy starting July 1, 2018.
 
In addition, Law No. 27,468 (published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018), amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, and established that the derogation of all the laws or regulations imposing or authorizing price indexation, monetary restatement, cost variation or any other method for strengthening debts, taxes, prices or rates of goods, works or services, does not extend to financial statements, as to which the provisions of Section 62 of the General Companies Law No. 19,550 (1984 revision), as amended, shall continue to apply. Moreover, the referred law repealed Decree No. 1269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated to the Argentine Executive Branch the power to establish, through its controlling agencies, the effective date of the referred provisions in connection with the financial statements filed with it. Therefore, under General Resolution 777/2018 (published in the Official Gazette on December 28, 2018) the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) ordered that issuers subject to its supervision shall apply the inflation adjustment to reflect the financial statements in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period set forth in IAS 29 in their annual, interim and special financial statements closed on or after December 31, 2018. Thus, these financial statements have been reported in terms of the measuring unit current as of June 30, 2020 accordingly to IAS 29.
 
Pursuant to IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a high inflationary economy should be reported in terms of the measuring unit current as of the reporting date of the financial statements. All the amounts included in the statement of financial position which are not stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements should be restated applying the general price index. All items in the statement of income should be stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements, applying the changes in the general price index occurred from the date on which the revenues and expenses were originally recognized in the financial statements.
 
Adjustment for inflation in the initial balances has been calculated considering the indexes reported by the FACPCE based on the price indexes published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC).
 
 
 
 
F-14

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
The principal inflation adjustment procedures are the following:
 
- 
Monetary assets and liabilities that are already recorded at the measuring unites of the balance sheet’s closing date are not restated because they are already stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements.
- 
Non-monetary assets, and liabilities and equity component are recorded at restated cost as of the balance sheet date.
- 
All items in the statement of income are restated applying the relevant conversion factors.
- 
The effect of inflation in the Company’s net monetary position is included in the statement of income under Financial results, net, in the item “Inflation adjustment”.
- 
Comparative figures have been adjusted for inflation following the procedure explained in the previous paragraphs.
 
Upon initially applying inflation adjustment, the equity accounts were restated as follows:
 
- 
Capital was restated as from the date of subscription or the date of the most recent inflation adjustment for accounting purposes, whichever is later.
- 
The resulting amount was included in the “Comprehensive Inflation adjustment of share capital and treasury shares adjustment” account.
- 
Other comprehensive income / (loss) was restated as from each accounting allocation.
- 
The other reserves in the statement of income were restated from the initial application date, i.e., June 30, 2016.
 
In relation to the inflation index to be used and in accordance with the FACPCE Resolution No. 539/18, it will be determined based on the Wholesale Price Index (IPIM) until 2016, considering for the months of November and December 2015 the average variation of Consumer Price indices (CPI) of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, because during those two months there were no national IPIM measurements. Then, from January 2017, the National Consumer Price Index (National CPI) will be considered. The tables below show the evolution of these indices in the last two fiscal years and as of June 30, 2020 according to official statistics (INDEC) following the guidelines described in Resolution 539/18:
 
Price variation
 
June 30, 2018
 
 
June 30, 2019
 
 
June 30, 2020
 
 
Cumulative as of June 30,2020 (3 years)
 
Annual
  29%
  56%
  43%
  128%
 
As a consequence of the aforementioned, these financial statements as of June 30, 2020 were restated in accordance with IAS 29.
 
IDBD and DIC report their quarterly and annual results following the Israeli regulations, whose legal deadlines are after the deadlines in Argentina and since IDBD and DIC fiscal years end differently from IRSA, the results of operations from IDBD and DIC are consolidated with a lag of three months and adjusted for the effects of significant transactions taking place in such period. For these reasons, it is possible to obtain the quarterly results of IDBD and DIC in time so that they can be consolidated by IRSA and reported to the CNV in its consolidated financial statements within the legal deadlines set in Argentina. This way, the Group's consolidated comprehensive income for the year ended June 30, 2019 includes the results of IDBD and DIC for the 12-month period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, adjusted for the significant transactions that occurred between April 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020.
 
(b) Current and non-current classification
 
The Group presents current and non-current assets, and current and non-current liabilities, as separate classifications in its Statement of Financial Position according to the operating cycle of each activity. Current assets and current liabilities include the assets and liabilities that are either realized or settled within 12 months from the end of the fiscal year.
 
All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities (income tax liabilities) are presented separately from each other and from other assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are in all cases presented as non-current while the rest is classified as current or non-current.

(c) Presentation currency
 
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of Argentine Pesos. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references to ‘Peso amounts’ or ‘Ps.’, are millions of Argentine Pesos, references to ‘US$’ or ‘US Dollars’ are millions of US Dollars, references to ‘Rs.’ are millions of Brazilian Reals and references to "NIS" are millions of New Israeli Shekel. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the exchange rate between the Argentine Peso and the NIS was Ps. 20.34 and Ps. 11.93 per NIS respectively.
 
(d) Fiscal year-end
 
The fiscal year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30 of each year.
 
(e) Accounting criteria
 
See Notes 2.2 through 2.31 with the accounting policies of each item.
 
(f) Reporting cash flows
 
The Group reports operating activities cash flows using the indirect method. Interest paid is presented within financing activities. Interest received is presented within investing activities. The acquisitions and disposals of investment properties are disclosed within investing activities as this most appropriately reflects the Group’s business activities. Cash flows in respect to trading properties are disclosed within operating activities because these items are sold in the ordinary course of business.
 
(g) 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 year. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements. The most significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the major estimations and significant judgments are described in Note 3.

. Clarifies the accounting for defined benefit plan amendments, curtailments or settlements. The amendments require an entity to: (i) determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using updated assumptions at the time of the amendment; (ii) recognize any reduction in a surplus immediately in gains or losses, as part of past service cost or a gain or loss on settlement. In other words, any surplus reduction must be recognized, even if that surplus was not previously recognized because of the impact of the asset ceiling; and (iii) separately recognize any change in the asset ceiling through other comprehensive income.

The adoption of these standards and amendments have not had a material impact for the Group, except for the following:
 
●
IFRS 16: Leases
 
The standard establishes the criteria for recognition and valuation of leases for lessees and lessors. The changes incorporated mainly impact the tenant's accounting. IFRS 16 provides that the lessee recognizes an asset for the right of use and a liability at present value with respect to those contracts that meet the definition of lease agreements according to IFRS 16. In accordance with the standard, a lease agreement is one that provides the right to control the use of an identified asset for a specific period. In order for a company to have control over the use of an identified asset: a) it must have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits of the identified asset and b) it must have the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
 
The standard allows excluding the short-term contracts (under 12 months) and those in which the underlying asset has low value, such option has been adopted by the Group. Likewise, the Group has opted to recognize as consideration for the right of use, the amount of Ps. 18,083 as lease liabilities. The commitments under operating leases reported in our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019, amounted to Ps. 19,803 (such difference mainly corresponds to the effect of the discount from future payments and the excluded short-term contracts).
 
●
Modification to IAS 28 “Investment in associates and joint ventures”
 
In accordance with the amendment to IAS 28, an entity shall implement the provisions of IFRS 9 to Long-term Investments that are essentially part of the entity's net investment in the associate or in the joint venture according to the definitions of said standard. The provisions of IFRS 9 shall apply to such investments with respect to the participation in the losses of an associate or a joint venture, as well as with respect to the recognition of the impairment of an investment in an associate or joint venture. In addition, when applying IFRS 9 to such long-term investments, the entity will make it prior to the adjustments made to the carrying amount of the investment in accordance with IAS 28.
 
The Group opted for an accounting policy where the currency translation adjustments arising from these loans are recorded as part of other comprehensive income.
 
The effect on retained earnings as of July 1, 2019 arising from the initial adoption of IFRS 16 and IAS 28 is as follows:

Standards and amendments
Description
 
Date of mandatory adoption for the Group in the year ended on
 
Covid-19- related lease concessions – Amendments to IFRS 16
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, lessees have been granted lease concessions. Such concessions may take a variety of forms, including forgiveness or deferral of rental payments. In May 2020, the IASB amended IFRS 16 – Leases, whereby lessees are permitted to account for the rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. In several cases, this will result in such concessions being accounted for as variable rent payments within the term same period in which they are granted.
 
  06-30- 2021 
 Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16
Amendment to IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) prohibits deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. It also specifies that an entity is “testing whether an item of PPE is functioning properly” when it assesses its technical and physical performance. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant for such assessment.
 
  06-30- 2023 
Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3
Some minor amendments were made to IFRS 3 Business combinations to update references to the Conceptual Framework for financial information and add an exception to the recognition principles for liabilities and contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent liabilities and contingent assets and interpretation 21 Levies. The amendments also confirm that contingent assets should not be recognized on the acquisition date.
 
  06-30-2023 
Annual Improvements to IFRS 2018-2020
The following improvements were issued in May 2020:
IFRS 9 Financial instruments. The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the ‘10 per cent’ test in assessing whether to derecognize a financial liability.
IFRS 16 Leases. The amendment to Illustrative Example 13 removes from the example the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements by the lessor in order to resolve any potential confusion regarding the treatment of lease incentives that might arise.
IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: Entities that have measured their assets and liabilities at the carrying amounts in their parents´ books are also allowed to measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by their parents. This amendment will also apply to associated and joint ventures that have also taken the IFRS 1 exemption.
IAS 41: This amendment removes the requirement for entities to exclude taxation cash flows when measuring the fair value pursuant to IAS 41. This amendment is intended to align with the requirement in the standard to discount cash flows on a post-tax basis.
 
  06-30-2023 
 
The future adoption of these standards and amendments will not have a significant impact to the Group.
 
At the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, there are no other standards or modifications issued by the IASB that are not yet effective and are expected to have a significant effect on the Group.
 
 
2.3 Scope of consolidation
 
(a) Subsidiaries
 
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group also analyzes whether there is control when it does not hold more than 50% of the voting rights of an entity, but does have capacity to define its relevant activities because of de-facto control.
 
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
 
The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The Group chooses the method to be used on a case-by-case base.
 
The excess of the sum of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the Statement of Income as “Bargain purchase gains”.

DIC considers it exercises effective control over Cellcom because DIC is the group with the higher percentage of votes (47.2%) vis-à-vis other shareholders, also taking into account the historic voting performance in the Shareholders’ Meetings, as well as the evaluation of the holdings of the remaining shareholders, which are highly atomized.
(6)
Control was lost in September 30, 2018 (see Note 4.(k)).
(7)
Includes Tyrus’ and IRSA S.A.’s equity interests.
(8)
DIC considers that it exercises control because DIC is the group with the higher percentage of votes (43.75%) vis-à-vis other shareholders that are highly atomized.
 
 
Except for the aforementioned items, the percentage of votes does not differ from the stake.
 
The Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects in order to determine which non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are considered significant.
 
(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
 
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – i.e., as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The recorded value corresponds to the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and/or received and the relevant share acquired and/or transferred of the carrying value of the net assets of the subsidiary.
 
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries with loss of control
 
When the Group ceases to have control over a subsidiary, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost, with changes in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
 
(d) Associates
 
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, usually representing an interest between 20% and at least 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, except as otherwise indicated as explained below. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
 
As of each year-end or upon the existence of evidence of impairment, a determination is made, as to whether there is any objective indication of impairment in the value of the investments in associates. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the Associates and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to "Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures " in the Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
Profit and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are recognized in the Group's financial statements only to the extent of the interests in the associates of the unrelated investor. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction reflects signs of impairment of the value of the asset transferred. The accounting policies of associates are modified to ensure uniformity within Group policies.

Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group and other party or parties have joint control bound by a contractual arrangement. Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint ventures or joint operations depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
 
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses and other comprehensive income in the Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in joint ventures is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes such difference in "Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures" in the Statements of Income.
 
2.4 Segment information
 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker (“CODM”), responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance. The operating segments are described in Note 6.
 
2.5 Foreign currency translation
 
(a) Functional and presentation currency
 
Items included in the Financial Statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Argentine Pesos, which is the Group’s presentation currency.
 
(b) Transactions and balances in foreign currency
 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities nominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or loss for the year.
 
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Income within other financial income, as appropriate, unless they have been capitalized.

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
 
(c) Group companies
 
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
 
(i)
assets, liabilities and goodwill for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that financial position;
(ii)
income and expenses for each Statement of Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
(iii)
all resulting exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
 
The accounting policy of the Group consists in accounting for the translation difference of its subsidiaries by the “step-by-step” method according to IAS 21.
 
2.6 Investment properties
 
Investment properties are those properties owned either by the Group that are held to earn long-term rental income or for capital appreciation, or both and that are not occupied by the Group for its own operations. Investment property also includes property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. The Group also classifies as investment properties land whose future use has not been determined yet. The Group’s investment properties primarily comprise the Group’s portfolio of shopping malls and offices, certain property under development and undeveloped land.
 
Where a property is partially owner-occupied, with the rest being held for rental income or capital appreciation, the Group accounts for the portions separately. The portion that is owner-occupied is accounted for as property, plant and equipment under IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and the portion that is held for rental income or capital appreciation, or both, is treated as investment properties under IAS 40 “Investment Properties”.
 
Investment properties are measured initially at cost. Cost comprises the purchase price and directly attributable expenditures, such as legal fees, certain direct taxes, commissions and in the case of properties under construction, the capitalization of financial costs.
 
For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in condition to start operating.
 
Direct expenses related to lease contract negotiation (such as payment to third parties for services rendered and certain specific taxes related to execution of such contracts) are capitalized as part of the book value of the relevant investment properties and amortized over the term of the lease.
 
Borrowing costs associated with properties under development or undergoing major refurbishment are capitalized. The finance cost capitalized is calculated using the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowings after adjusting for borrowings associated with specific developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross interest incurred on those borrowings less any investment income arising on their temporary investment. Finance cost is capitalized from the commencement of the development work until the date of practical completion. Capitalization of finance costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. Finance cost is also capitalized on the purchase cost of land or property acquired specifically for redevelopment in the short term but only where activities necessary to prepare the asset for redevelopment are in progress.
 
After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fair value. Investment property that is being redeveloped for continuing use as investment property or for which the market has become less active continues to be measured at fair value. Investment properties under construction are measured at fair value if the fair value is considered to be reliably determinable. On the other hand, properties under construction for which the fair value cannot be determined reliably, but for which the Group expects it to be determinable when construction is completed, are measured at cost less impairment until the fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is completed, whichever is earlier.

Fair values are determined differently depending on the type of property being measured.
 
Generally, fair value of owner occupied farmland, office buildings and land reserves is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for differences in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices on less active markets or discounted cash flow projections.
 
The fair value of the Group’s portfolio of Shopping Malls is based on discounted cash flow projections. This method of valuation is commonly used in the shopping mall industry in the region where the Group conducts its operations.
 
Fair value of office building in the Operations Center in Israel is based on discounted cash flow projections.
 
As required by CNV 576/10 Resolution, valuations are performed as of the financial position date by accredited externals appraisers who have recognized professional qualifications and have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. These valuations form the basis for the carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and other assumptions market participants would make when pricing the property under current market conditions.
 
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.
 
Changes in fair values are recognized in the Statement of Income under the line item “Net gain or (loss) from fair value adjustment of investment properties”.
 
Asset transfers, including assets classified as investments properties which are reclassified under other items or vice-versa, may only be carried out when there is a change of use evidenced by: a) commencement of occupation of real property by the Group, where investment property is transferred to property, plant and equipment; b) commencement of development activities for sale purposes, where investment property is transferred to property for sale; c) the end of Group occupation, where it is transferred from property, plant and equipment to investment properties; or d) commencement of an operating lease transaction with a third party, where properties for sale are transferred to investment property. The value of the transfer is the one that the property had at the time of the transfer and subsequently is valued in accordance with the accounting policy related to the item.
 
The Group may sell its investment property when it considers that such property no longer forms part of the lease business. The carrying value immediately prior to the sale is adjusted to the transaction price, and the adjustment is recorded in the Statement of Income and other comprehensive income in the line “Net gain from fair value adjustments of investment properties”.
 
Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected to arise from their disposals. The disposal of properties is recognized when the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer. As for unconditional agreements, proceeds are accounted for when title to property passes to the buyer and the buyer intends to make the respective payment. In the case of conditional agreements, disposal are accounted for when the conditions he agreements is subject to has been met. Where consideration receivable for the sale of the properties is deferred, it is discounted to present value. The difference between the discounted amount and the amount receivable is treated as interest income and recognized over the period using the effective interest method. Direct expenses related to the sale are recognized in the line "Other operating results, net" in the Statement of Income at the time they are incurred.
 
2.7 Property, plant and equipment
 
This category primarily comprises, buildings or portions of a building used for administrative purposes, machines, computers, and other equipment, motor vehicles, furniture, fixtures and fittings and improvements to the Group’s corporate offices.
 
The Group has also several hotel properties. Based on the respective contractual arrangements with hotel managers and / or given their direct operators nature, the Group considers it retains significant exposure to the variations in the cash flows of the hotel operations, and accordingly, hotels are treated as owner-occupied properties and classified under "Property, plant and equipment".
 
 
 
 
F-23
Cresud Sociedad Anónima,
Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
All property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) is stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. The acquisition cost includes expenditures, which are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and the property is in conditions to start operating.
 
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Such costs may include the cost of improvements and replacement of parts as they meet the conditions to be capitalized. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged as incurred in the Statement of Income. Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the assets’ estimated useful lives.
 
The remaining useful life as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:
 
Buildings and facilities
Between 5 and 50 years
Machinery and equipment
Between 3 and 24 years
Communication networks
Between 4 and 20 years
Others
Between 3 and 25 years
 
As of each fiscal year-end, an evaluation is performed to determine the existence of indicators of any decrease in recoverable value or useful life of assets. If there are any indicators, the recoverable amount and/or residual useful life of impaired asset(s) is estimated, and an impairment adjustment is made, if applicable. As of each fiscal year-end, the residual useful life of assets is estimated and adjusted, if necessary. The book amount of an asset is reduced to its recoverable value if the book value is greater than its estimated recoverable value.
 
Gains from the sale of these assets are recognized when the significant risks and rewards have transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place on unconditional exchange, generally when legal title passes to the buyer and it is probable that the buyer will pay. For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.
 
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds, with the carrying amount. Gains and losses from the disposal of farmlands are disclosed within “Gains from disposal of farmlands” in the Statements of Income. All other gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment items are recognized within “Other operating results, net” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
 
When assets of property, plant and equipment are transferred to investment property, the difference between the value at cost transferred and the fair value of the investment property is allocated to a reserve within equity.
 
Group's sugarcane fields are recognized as bearer plants under the definition included in IAS 41. For this reason, they are accounted as property, plant and equipment and are valued at amortized cost.
 
2.8 Leases
 
Leases are recorded pursuant to IFRS 16. The Group recognizes an asset for the right of use and a liability at present value with respect to those contracts that meet the definition of lease agreements according to IFRS 16. For the prior periods’ leases were classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement.
 
A Group company is the lessor
 
Properties leased out to tenants under operating leases are included in “Investment properties” in the Statement of Financial Position. See Note 2.25 for the recognition of rental income.
 
A Group company is the lessee
 
The Group has entered into some operating lease agreements, mainly related to agribusiness activities. By virtue of these contracts, the Group leases land open for agricultural exploitation during one or more crop season. The lease price is generally set at a fixed amount in dollars or at a certain number of quintals of soybeans (or equivalent measurement unit) during the entire lease term. Lease payments can be made in installments or in advance at the beginning of the lease. The lease costs are recognized in the Statements of Income in relation to the degree of ripeness of the harvest since the Group considers that this systematic base is more representative of the time pattern of the leases’ benefits.
 
Additionally, the Group maintains other operating leases not related to agricultural activity, mainly associated with the leasing of offices. Payments, including prepayments, made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the Statement of Income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
 
 
 
 
F-24

The Group acquires certain specific assets (especially machinery, computer equipment and real property exploitation concessions) under leases pursuant to IFRS 16. Assets so acquired are recorded as an asset at the present value of the minimum future lease payments. Capitalized lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. The finance charges are charged over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
 
Leases falling within the IFRS 16 exemption, where the Group acts as lessee are charged to results at the time they accrue. They mainly include contracts for less than one year and/or for non-material items.
 
2.9 Intangible assets
 
(a) Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognized by the Group on an acquisition. Goodwill is initially measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquisition and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquisition; and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date.
 
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at each fiscal year-end, or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment.
 
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows, referred to as cash-generating units (“CGU”). In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognized, the book value of CGU or CGU groups is compared against its recoverable value. Net book value of CGU and CGU groups include goodwill and assets with limited useful life (such as, investment properties, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and working capital).
 
If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not reversed in a subsequent period.
 
The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs-to-sell and the value-in-use. The fair value is the amount at which a CGU may be sold in a current transaction between unrelated, willing and duly informed parties. Value-in-use is the present value of all estimated future cash flows expected to be derived from CGU or CGU groups.
 
Goodwill is assigned to the Group's cash generating units on the basis of operating segments. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is determined based on fair value calculations. These calculations use the price of the CGU assets, they are compared with the book values, plus the goodwill assigned to each cash-generating unit.
 
No material impairment was recorded as a result of the analysis performed (Note 12).
 
(b) Computer software
 
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized based on the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred.
 
(c) Branding and client relationships
 
This relates to the fair value of brands and client relationships arising at the time of the business combination with IDBD. They are subsequently valued at cost, less the accumulated amortization or impairment. Client relationships have an average twelve-year useful life, while one of the brands have an indefinite useful life and the other ten-year useful life.
 
(d) Right to receive future units under barter agreements
 
The Group also enters into barter transactions where it normally exchanges undeveloped parcels of land with third-party developers for future property to be constructed on the bartered land. The Group generally receives monetary assets as part of the transactions and/or a right to receive future units to be constructed by developers. Such rights are initially recognized at cost (which is the fair value of the land assigned) and are not adjusted later, unless there is any sign of impairment.
 
 
F-25
 
 
At each year-end, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any of such signs exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. For intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, the Group annually reviews the existence of an impairment, or more frequently if signs of impairment are identified.
 
2.10 Trading properties
 
Trading properties comprises those properties intended either for sale or in the process of construction for subsequent sale. Trading properties are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Where there is a change in use of investment properties evidenced by the commencement of development with a view to sale, the properties are reclassified as trading properties at cost, which is the carrying value at the date of change in use. They are subsequently carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the trading properties to their present location and condition.
 
2.11 Inventories
 
Inventories include assets held for sale in the ordinary course of the Group’s business activities, assets in production or construction process for sale purposes, and materials, supplies or other assets held for consumption in the process of producing sales and/or services.
 
Supplies used in the Group's agricultural activities comprise fertilizers, agrochemicals, vaccines, seeds, feed for livestock and other items. Harvested agricultural produce comprise harvested crops, and raw meat.
 
For the Group’s operations in Argentina and Brazil, harvested crops are perpetually measured at net realizable value until the point of sale because there is an active market for such products, there is a negligible risk that the produce will not be sold and there is a well-established practice in the industry of measuring the inventories at net realizable value. Changes in net realizable value are recognized in the Statements of Income in the year in which they arise under the line item “Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest”.
 
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less selling expenses. It is determined on an ongoing basis, taking into account the product type and aging, based on the accumulated prior experience with the useful life of the product. The Group periodically reviews the inventory and its aging and books an allowance for impairment, as necessary.
 
The cost of consumable supplies, materials and other assets is determined using the weighted average cost method, the cost of inventories of mobile phones, related accessories and spare parts is priced under the moving average method, and the cost of the remaining inventories is priced under the first in, first out (FIFO) method.
 
Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Inventories are recorded at the cash cost and the difference between that and the actual amount paid is treated as finance cost.
 
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
2.12 Biological assets and agriculture produce at the point of harvest
 
Biological assets comprise unharvested crops (mainly corn, wheat, soybeans and sunflower), sugarcane, livestock (breeding and dairy cattle and cattle held for sale or meat production) and other less significant biological assets such as sheep and tree plantations.
 
The Group distinguishes between consumable and bearer biological assets. Consumable biological assets are those assets that may be harvested as agricultural produce or sold as biological assets, for example livestock intended for the production of meat and/or livestock held for sale. Bearer biological assets are those assets capable of producing more than one harvest, for example sugarcane, dairy cattle and breeding cattle. Consumable biological assets are generally classified as current while bearer biological assets are generally classified as non-current.
 
Expenses relating to the agricultural activity include items as planting, harvesting, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers, veterinary services and others. The Group elect to capitalize all costs as part of the biological assets.
 
The line item “Cost of sales of biological assets and agricultural produce” within “Costs” in the Statements of Income represents the recognition as an expense of agricultural produce held in inventory, valued at either cost or net realizable value, as applicable, or biological assets valued at fair value less costs to sell.
 
 
F-26
 
 
Either the fair value of a biological asset in its present location and condition is determined based on the present value of expected net cash flows from the biological asset discounted at a current market-determined pre-tax rate or the current quoted market price in the most relevant market.
 
Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell on initial recognition and at each Statement of Financial Position date, except where fair value cannot be reliably measured. Cost approximates fair value when little or no biological transformation has taken place since the costs were originally incurred or the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material. Costs to sell include all incremental costs directly attributable to the sale of the biological assets, excluding finance costs and income taxes.
 
Additionally, the Group’s costs of planting the sugarcane are accounted for as property, plant and equipment and are valued at amortized cost. The growing agricultural product of sugarcane is classified as a biological asset and valued at fair value less costs to sell.
 
The gain or loss arising from initial recognition of a) agricultural produce and b) biological assets at fair value less costs to sell and from a change in fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset is recognized in profit or loss in the year in which occur within the line item “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest”.
 
2.13 Financial instruments
 
The Group classifies financial assets in the following categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured at amortized cost. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is an equity investment or a debt investment.
 
Debt investments
 
A debt investment is classified at amortized cost only if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash derived solely from payments of principal and interest due on the principal outstanding. The nature of any derivatives embedded in the debt investment are considered in determining whether the cash derives solely from payment of principal and interest due on the principal outstanding and are not accounted for separately.
 
If either of the two criteria mentioned in the previous paragraph is not met, the debt instrument is classified at fair value through profit or loss. The Group has not designated any debt investment as measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Changes in fair values and gains from disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded within “Financial results, net” in the Statement of Income.
 
Equity investments
 
All equity investments, which are neither subsidiaries nor associate companies nor joint venture of the Group, are measured at fair value. Equity investments that are held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, the Group can make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. The Group decided to recognize changes in fair value of equity investments through changes in profit or loss.
 
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value though profit or loss are expensed in the Statement of Income.
 
In general, the Group uses the transaction price to ascertain the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition. In the other cases, the Group records a gain or loss on initial recognition only if the fair value of the financial instrument can be supported by other comparable transactions observable in the market for the same type of instrument or if based on a technical valuation that only inputs observable market data. Unrecognized gains or losses on initial recognition of a financial asset are recognized later on, only to the extent they arise from a change in factors (including time) that market participants would consider upon setting the price.
 
Gains/losses on debt instruments measured at amortized cost and not identified for hedging purposes are charged to income where the financial assets are derecognized or an impairment loss is recognized, and during the amortization process under the effective interest method. The Group is required to reclassify all affected debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
 
 
 
F-27

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
 
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) can be reliably estimated. The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
 
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position, when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
 
2.14 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities and options
 
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
 
The Group manages exposures to various risks using hedging instruments that provide coverage. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To date, the Group has used put and call options, foreign currency future and forward contracts and interest rate swaps, as appropriate.
 
The Group’s policy is to apply hedge accounting where it is permissible under IFRS 9, practical to do so and its application reduces volatility, but transactions that may be effective hedges in economic terms may not always qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9.
 
Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability on the Statement of Financial Position. Gains and losses on derivatives are classified according to their nature. Gains and losses on commodity derivatives are classified within the line item “Other operating income, net”. Gain and losses on all other derivatives are classified in the Statements of Income where the results of the items covered are recognized.
 
The fair values of financial instruments that are traded in active markets are computed by reference to market prices. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end as each reporting year.
 
2.15 Groups of assets and liabilities held for sale
 
Groups of assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when the Group is expected to recover their value by means of a sale transaction (rather than through use) and where such sale is highly probable. Groups of assets and liabilities held for sale are valued at the lower of their net book value and fair value less selling costs.
 
2.16 Trade and other receivables
 
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on the expected loss of the receivables portfolio. Indicators of doubtful accounts include significant financial distress of the debtor, the debtor potentially filing a petition for reorganization or bankruptcy, or any event of default or past due account.
 
In the case of larger non-homogeneous receivables, the impairment provision is calculated on an individual basis.
 
The Group collectively evaluates smaller-balance homogeneous receivables for impairment. For that purpose, they are grouped on the basis of similar risk characteristics, and account asset type, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors are taken into account.
 
The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of a separate account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the Statements of Income within “Selling expenses”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against “Selling expenses” in the Statements of Income.

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
 
2.17 Other assets
 
Other assets are recognized initially at cost and subsequently measured at the acquisition cost or the net realizable value, the lower.
 
2.18 Trade and other payables
 
Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
2.19 Borrowings
 
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized as finance cost over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
 
2.20 Provisions
 
Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
 
The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel´s experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.
 
Provisions are measured at the present value of the cash flows expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provisions due to passage of time is recognized in the Statements of Income.
 
2.21 Irrevocable right of use of the capacity of underwater communication lines
 
Transactions carried out to acquire an irrevocable right of use of the capacity of underwater communication lines are accounted for as service contracts. The amount paid for the rights of use of the communication lines is recognized as “Prepaid expenses” under trade and other receivables, and is amortized over a straight-line basis during the period set forth in the contract (including the option term), which is the estimated useful life of such capacity.
 
2.22 Employee benefits
 
(a) Defined contribution plans
 
The Group operates a defined contribution plan, which is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current year or prior periods. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense in the Statements of Income in the fiscal year they are due.
 
(b)  Termination benefits
 
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary termination as a result of redundancy.
 
(c) Bonus plans

(d) Defined benefit plans
 
The Group’s net obligation concerning defined benefit plans are calculated on an individual basis for each plan, estimating the future benefits employees have gained in exchange for their services in the current and prior periods. The benefit is disclosed at its present value, net of the fair value of the plan assets. Calculations are made on an annual basis by a qualified actuary.
 
(e) Share-based payments
 
The fair value of share-based payments is measured at the date of grant. The Group measures the fair value using the valuation technique that it considers to be the most appropriate to value each class of award. Methods used may include Black-Scholes calculations or other models as appropriate. The valuations take into account factors such as non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.
 
The fair value of the share-based payment is expensed and charged to income under the straight-line method over the vesting period in which the right to the equity instrument becomes irrevocable (“vesting period”); such value is based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Such estimate is revised if subsequent information available indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from original estimates.
 
(f) Other long-term benefits
 
The net obligations of IDBD, DIC and its subsidiaries concerning employee long-term benefits, other than retirement plans, is the amount of the minimum future benefits employees have gained in exchange for their services in the current and prior periods. These benefits are discounted at their present values.
 
2.23 Current income tax, deferred income tax and minimum presumed income tax
 
Tax expense for the year comprises the charge for tax currently payable and deferred income. Income tax is recognized in the statements of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
 
Current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the Statements of Financial Position in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. The Group periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Group establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
 
Income tax is recognized, using the deferred tax liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the Statements of Financial Position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
 
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
 
The Group is able to control the timing of dividends from its subsidiaries and hence does not expect taxable profit. Hence, deferred tax is recognized in respect of the retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries only if at the date of the Statements of Financial Position, dividends have been accrued as receivable a binding agreement to distribute past earnings in future has been entered into by the subsidiary or there are sale plans in the foreseeable future.

Entities in Argentina are subject to the Minimum Presumed Income Tax (“MPIT”). Pursuant to this tax regime, an entity is required to pay the greater of the income tax or the MPIT. The MPIT provision is calculated on an individual entity basis at the statutory asset tax rate of 1% and is based upon the taxable assets of each company as of the end of the year, as defined by Argentine law. Any excess of the MPIT over the income tax may be carried forward and recognized as a tax credit against future income taxes payable over a 10-year period. When the Group assesses that it is probable that it will use the MPIT payment against future taxable income tax charges within the applicable 10-year period, recognizes the MPIT as a current or non-current receivable, as applicable, within “Trade and other receivables” in the Statements of Financial Position.
 
The minimum presumed income tax was repealed by Law N ° 27,260 in its article 76 for the periods that begin as of January 1, 2019.
 
Regarding the above mentioned, considering the Instruction No. 2 of the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (AFIP), it is not appropriate to record the provision of the above mention tax, in the event that accounting and tax losses occur.
 
2.24 Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are not included.
 
2.25 Revenue recognition
 
The group identifies contracts with customers and evaluates the goods and services committed therein to determine performance obligations and their classification between performance obligations that are satisfied at a given time or over time.
 
Revenue from satisfaction of performance obligations at a given time is recognized when the client obtains control of the committed asset or service considering whether there is a right to collection, if the client has the physical possession, if the client has the legal right and if they have the transferred the risks and benefits.
 
Additionally and in accordance with IFRS 15, the Group recognizes revenues over time from the sales of real estate developments in which there is no alternative use for the asset and the Group has the right to demand payment of the contract. When these conditions are not met, the income is recognized at the time of delivery or deed.
 
Revenue from satisfaction of performance obligations over time for real estate developments is recognized by measuring progress towards compliance with the obligation when it can be measured reliably. For this measurement, the Group uses the resourced method, that is, the effort consumed by the entity and determines the percentage of progress based on the estimate of the total development costs.
 
The Group's revenue is recognized at the probable value of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the products or services to the customer which is not expected to suffer significant changes.
 
Agricultural activities
 
Revenue from Group’s agricultural activities comes primarily from sales of agricultural produce and biological assets, from provision of services related to the activity and from leases of farmlands.
 
The Group also provides agricultural-related (including but not limited to watering and feedlot services) and brokerage services to third parties. Revenue from services are recognized when services are effective rendered.
 
The Group also leases land to third parties under operating lease agreements. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
 
Urban properties and investments activities
 
●
Rental and services - Shopping malls portfolio
 
Revenues derived from business activities developed in the Group’s shopping malls mainly include rental income under operating leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from several complementary services provided to the Group’s lessees.

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
 
Rental income from shopping mall, admission rights and commissions, are recognized in the Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
 
Contingent rents, i.e. lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are known and can be determined. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.
 
The Group’s lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance charges and collective promotion funds of the Group’s shopping malls are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These common area maintenance charges include all expenses necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the shopping malls. The lessor is responsible for determining the need and suitability of incurring a common area expense. The Group makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considers that it acts as a principal in these cases. Service charge income is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
 
●
Rental and services - Offices and other rental properties
 
Rental income from offices and other rental properties include rental income from offices leased out under operating leases, income from services and expenses recovery paid by tenants.
 
Rental income from offices and other rental properties is recognized in the Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
 
A substantial portion of the Group’s leases requires the tenant to reimburse the Group for a substantial portion of operating expenses, usually a proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses. Such property operating expenses include necessary expenses such as property operating, repairs and maintenance, security, janitorial, insurance, landscaping, leased properties and other administrative expenses, among others. The Group manages its own rental properties. The Group makes the original payment for these expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considers that it acts as a principal in these cases. The Group accrues reimbursements from tenants as service charge revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
 
●
Revenue from communication services and sale of communication equipment (presented within discontinued operations)
 
Revenue derived from the use of the Group’s communication networks, including mobile phones, Internet services, international calls, fixed line calls, interconnection rates and roaming service rates and television, are recognized when the service is provided, proportionally to the extent the transaction has been realized, and provided all other criteria have been met for revenue recognition.
 
Revenue from the sale of mobile phone cards is initially recognized as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue as they are used or upon expiration, whichever takes place earlier.
 
A transaction involving the sale of equipment to a final user normally also involves a service sale transaction. In general, this type of sale is performed without a contractual obligation by the client to consume telephone services for a minimum amount over a predetermined period. As a result, the Group records the sale of equipment separately of the performance obligations and recognizes revenue pursuant to the transaction value upon delivery of the equipment to the client. Revenue from telephone services is recognized and accounted for as they are provided over time. When the client is bound to make a minimum consumption of services during a predefined period, the contract formalizes a transaction of several elements and, therefore, revenue from the sale of equipment is recorded at an amount that should not exceed its fair value, and is recognized upon delivery of the equipment to the client and provided the criteria for recognition are met. The Group ascertains the fair value of individual elements, based on the price at which it is normally sold, after taking into account the relevant discounts.
 
Revenue derived from long-term contracts is recognized at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at market rates prevailing on the transaction date. Any difference between the original credit and its net present value is accounted for as interest income over the credit term.
 
●
Revenue from agricultural products
 
Revenue from agricultural products is recognized when the product is delivered and at the time all other criterias for revenue recognition have been met.
 
 
F-32
 
 
●
Revenue from supermarkets
 
Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is recognized at the fair value of the consideration collected or receivable, net of returns and discounts. When the credit term is short and financing is that typical in the industry, consideration is not discounted. When the credit term is longer than the industry’s average, in accounting for the consideration, the Group discounts it to its net present value by using the client’s risk premium or the market rate. The difference between the fair value and the nominal amount is accounted for under financial income. If discounts are granted and their amount can be measured reliably, the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue.
 
Revenues from supermarkets have been recognized in discontinued operations (see Note 4.(p)).
 
2.26 Cost of sales
 
The cost of sales, includes the acquisition costs and the operational and management costs for shopping malls held by the Group as part of its real estate investments. The Group’s cost of sales in relation to the supply of communication services (which is presented within discontinued operations in these financial statements) mainly includes the costs to purchase equipment, salaries and related expenses, service costs, royalties, ongoing license dues, interconnection and roaming expenses, cell tower lease costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and maintenance expenses directly related to the services provided.
 
The cost of sales of supermarkets (which is presented within discontinued operations in these financial statements), includes the acquisition costs for the products less discounts granted by suppliers, as well as all expenses associated with storing and handling inventories and is classified as discontinued operations.
 
2.27 Cost of borrowings and capitalization
 
The costs for general and specific loans that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of suitable assets for which a prolonged period is required to place them in the conditions required for their use or sale, are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets until the assets are substantially ready for use or sale. The general loan costs are capitalized according to the average debt rate of the Group. Foreign exchange differences for loans in foreign currency are capitalized if they are considered an adjustment to interest costs. The interest earned on the temporary investments of a specific loan for the acquisition of qualifying assets are deducted from the eligible costs to be capitalized. The rest of the costs from loans are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
 
2.28 Share capital
 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
 
When any Group’s subsidiary purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. When such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and related income tax effects, is included in equity.
 
Instruments issued by the Group that will be settled by the Company delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset are classified as equity.
 
2.29 Comparability of information
 
The balances as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 that are disclosed for comparative purposes were restated in accordance with IAS 29, see Note 2.1. Certain items from prior fiscal years have been reclassified for consistency purposes. See Note 4. d. for the loss of control of Shufersal and Note 4.c for the loss of control of Gay-Yam.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Argentine Peso suffered a decrease in its value compared to the US dollar and other currencies close to 66%, 45% and 73%, respectively, which has an impact on the comparability of the figures exposed in the financial statements, mainly due to the exposure to the exchange rate of our Income and costs of “offices” segment, and our assets and liabilities, nominated in foreign currency of the Argentine operations center, the aforementioned devaluation also had an effect on the total balances of the Israel operations center.

The total value was USD 69.7 million (equivalent to ARS 5,226 million). At the end of the fiscal year, the Cresud percentage, the percentage of direct ownership is 2.25% and the percentage of indirect ownership through Helmir is 31.30%. In this way, Cresud will continue to control BrasilAgro indirectly through its control of Helmir S.A.
Althoght Cresud maintains less than 50% of the voting rights, in accordance with IFRS, control may exist without a majority of voting rights.
 
Cresud exercises “de facto control” over BrasilAgro as a result of:
 
i) 
the percentage and concentration of voting rights of the Group and the absence of other shareholders with significant voting rights,
ii) 
the absence of a voting agreement among the other shareholders to vote together as a group,
iii) 
the record of attendance to Shareholders’ Meetings and the record of votes casted by the other shareholders; and
iv) 
the effective control exercised by the Group to direct Brasilagro’s relevant activities through its seat in the Board of Directors. See Note 7 for further information regarding to Brasilagro.
 
Therefore, Cresud will continue to consolidate BrasilAgro in its financial statements, after the business combination with Agrifirma.

The consideration for the transactions amounted to approximately NIS 944.5, which is partially restricted according to these agreements until the swap expires. These transactions did not meet the de-recognition criteria so the Group maintains the asset as “Financial assets available for sale” and accounted for the loans as a financial liability.

Subject to the exercise of the option by the Additional Buyer, the price will be paid 10% in cash and the rest through a loan that will be provided to the Additional Buyer by IDBD and / or by a related entity and / or by a banking corporation and / or financial institution, under the agreed conditions.
 
The aforementioned agreements include, among others, a commitment by the Buyers and the Additional Buyer to not sell the shares acquired during an agreed period of 24 months. It is clarified that each of the Buyers and the Additional Buyer have declared and committed to IDBD that there are no agreements or understandings between them regarding the joint ownership of Clal shares that are subject to the aforementioned agreements.
 
The total amount of Clal shares that can be acquired by the three buyers mentioned above, to the extent that the three agreements are completed and the options are exercised, represents approximately 18% of Clal's share capital.
 
As of the date of these financial statements, all previously agreed sales transactions have been consummated.

As a result of the aforementioned transactions, as of this date, IDBD´s holding in Clal represents 4.99% of its capital stock. It no longer has swap transactions and, accordingly, it is no longer considered as Clal interested party within the context of Israel´s Securities Regulations.

Distribution of dividends in kind by PBC. Purchase of Mehadrin shares and acquisition of control
 
On December 10, 2019, PBC distributed its entire holding in Mehadrin as a dividend in kind and, as a result, DIC holds, directly, a 31.4% interest in Mehadrin. As a consequence of such transaction, Mehadrin became an associate.
 
In January and February 2020, DIC purchased approximately 8.8% of Mehadrin’s capital stock, for a total cost of NIS 39 (approximately Ps. 767); therefore, the interest in Mehadrin has increased from 31.4% to approximately 40.2%. Such acquisitions resulted in DIC obtaining control over Mehadrin, by the end of February, as it has the majority votes while the remaining equity interests are distributed among several shareholders.
 
Additionally, from April to June 2020, DIC purchased an additional 3.5% interest in Mehadrin for NIS 14 (approximately Ps. 298), increasing its interest to 43.7%.
 
Following the taking of control, as mentioned above, since March 9, 2020, the Group has consolidated the operations of this company.

On January 12, 2020, PBC received a communication from the Ministry of Justice of Israel questioning the loss of control of Gav-Yam in September 2019 and, accordingly, raising its objections to observance by PBC of the concentration law in Israel.
 
In May 2020, PBC agreed to sell approximately 4.96% of Gav-Yam´s capital stock to an unrelated third party. Therefore, its interest in Gav-Yam decreased from 34.9% to 29.9% after the consummation of the sales transaction and it was thus able to overcome the questioning from the Ministry of Justice of Israel.

PBC informed the buyer that its request would be considered without detrimentally affecting PBC´s rights and obligations pursuant to the agreement. On March 26, 2020, that is, the date of completion of the due diligence process, the buyer defaulted on its obligation to deposit the second payment installment in an amount of NIS 40, into a trust account.
 
PBC demanded the buyer to cure its default and immediately deposit the second payment installment and proceed with the closing of the transaction in accordance with its terms, without this entailing a limitation on its rights and obligations and any consideration available for the buyer pursuant to the agreement and under the law, until April 20, 2020. Since non-compliance was not occurred until April 20, 2020, the agreement was terminated.
 
In April 2020, PBC executed an agreement with another buyer for NIS 800 involving all ISPRO shares and the rights over the loans granted by PBC to ISPRO. As a consequence of the agreement for the sale of ISPRO´s shares, the Group has reclassified net assets totaling Ps. 16,657 as “Group of Assets available for Sale”. Income to be recognized at the time of the consummation of the transaction shall be NIS 47 (equivalent of Ps. 906).
 
(v)
Cellcom- Golan Telecom Agreement
 
In February 2020, Cellcom, the shareholders of Golan Telecom and Golan Telecom executed a binding memorandum of understanding for the acquisition of Golan Telecom entire capital stock, for a total amount of NIS 590, payable in 2 installments (NIS 413 at the closing date of the transaction and NIS 177 within a term of 3 years following such closing date). Cellcom shall issue and deposit the Company´s shares for 8.2 million, with a trustee into a trust account (“Shares held in Trust”), as collateral.
 
The transaction provides for standard conditions and representations and is subject to a due diligence process to be performed by Cellcom and the relevant regulatory authorizations and approvals from material third parties. The parties shall carry out negotiations regarding a detailed agreement; however, they are bound to the memorandum of understanding, regardless of whether the agreement may be executed or not. In the event the conditions for the closing of the transaction were not satisfied before December 31, 2020, the memorandum of understanding or the detailed agreement, as applicable, shall be terminated.
 
See Note 40 for further information about the execution of the agreement and the grant of the respective approvals.

Financial risk management and fair value estimates
 
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, indexing risk due to specific clauses and other price risks), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. Within the Group, risk management functions are conducted in relation to financial risks associated to financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during a certain period or as of a specific date.
 
The general risk management policies of the Group seek both to minimize adverse potential effects on the financial performance of the Group and to manage and control the financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on its internal management risk policies, as explained below.

Given the diversity of characteristics in the activities conducted under its business and operations center, the Group has decentralized the risk management policies based on two significant line of business: (i) agricultural business and (ii) urban properties and investments business, which is divided into two: (a) Argentina and (b) Israel, in order to identify and properly analyze the various types of risks to which each of the subsidiaries is exposed.
 
The Group’s main financial instruments in the agricultural business and urban properties and investments business of the Operation Center in Argentina comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, interest bearing assets and liabilities, other financial liabilities, other investments and derivative financial instruments. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies.
 
The Group’s management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments. The Group has established a Risk Committee, comprising members of senior management and a member of the Audit Committee, which reviews and oversees management’s compliance with these policies, procedures and limits and has overall accountability for the identification and management of risk across the Group.
 
Given the diversity of the activities conducted by the Operations Center in Israel of the urban properties and investments business (IDBD, DIC and its subsidiaries), and the resulting risks, IDBD and DIC manage the exposure to their own key financial risks and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (except for IDB Tourism) in conformity with a centralized risk management policy, with the non-wholly owned IDBD and DIC subsidiaries being responsible for establishing the risk policy, taking action to cover market risks and managing their activities in a decentralized way. Both IDBD and DIC as holding and each subsidiary are responsible for managing their own financial risks in accordance with agreed global guidelines. The Chief Financial Officers of each entity are responsible for managing the risk management policies and systems, the definition of hedging strategies, insofar as applicable and based on any restriction that may be apply as a result of financial debt, the supervision of its implementation and the answer to such restrictions. The management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments.
 
This section provides a description of the principal risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
 
The analysis of sensitivities to market risks included below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the factors may be correlated – for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.
 
This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view. The actual impact on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.
 
(a)
Market risk management
 
Market risk is the risk that the market prices, the fair value or the future cash flows of financial instrument instruments with which the Group operates will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The Group’s market risks arise from open positions in foreign currencies, interest-bearing assets and liabilities, commodity price risks and equity securities of certain companies, to the extent that these are exposed to market value movements. The Group sets limits on the exposure to these risks that may be accepted, which are monitored on a regular basis.
 
Foreign Exchange risk and associated derivative financial instruments
 
The Group publishes its Consolidated Financial Statements in Argentine pesos but conducts operations and holds positions in other currencies. As a result, the Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk through exchange rate movements, which affect the value of the Group’s foreign currency positions. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
 
The Group's activities are carried out as follows:
 
1)
Agricultural business: The commercial and/or agro-industrial activities of the Group's subsidiaries are primarily developed in Argentina and have as functional currency the Argentine Peso. The agricultural activities of the Group’s subsidiaries are primarily developed in Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia, where the functional currencies are the respective local currencies.

2)
Urban properties and investments business:
 
- 
Operation Center in Argentina: The real estate, commercial and/or financial activities of the Group’s subsidiaries from the operations center in Argentina have the Argentine Peso as functional currency. An important part of the business activities of these subsidiaries is conducted in that currency, thus not exposing the Group to foreign exchange risk. Other Group's subsidiaries have other functional currencies, principally US Dollar. In the ordinary course of business, the Group, through its subsidiaries, transacts in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. These transactions are primarily denominated in US Dollars and New Israeli Shekel.
- 
Operation Center in Israel: Real estate, business and/or financial activities of IDBD subsidiaries in the operations center in Israel are developed mainly in Israeli currency, although some operations, mostly borrowing, are expressed in United States’ dollars, thereby exposing IDBD to a foreign currency risk.
 
An important part of the business activities of these subsidiaries is conducted in above-mentioned local currencies, thus not exposing the Group to foreign exchange risk. Net financial position exposure to the functional currencies is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by entering into foreign currency derivative instruments and/or by borrowings in foreign currencies, or other methods, considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.
 
Financial instruments are considered sensitive to foreign exchange rates only when they are not in the functional currency of the entity that holds them. The following tables shows the net carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments nominated in US$, broken down by the functional currencies in which the Company operates for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The amounts are presented in Argentine Pesos, the presentation currency of the Group:

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against the respective functional currencies at year-end would result in a lower gain before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 for an amount of Ps. 3,364 and Ps. 2,733, respectively. A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statements of Income.
 
On the other hand, the Group also uses derivative instruments, such as future foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk. As of June 30, 2020, the Group has future exchange contracts pending for an amount of Ps. 17 (asset) and Ps. 192 (liability). As of June 30, 2019, , the Group has future exchange contracts pending for an amount of Ps. 47 (asset) and Ps. 39 (liability).

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US Dollar against the respective functional currencies at year-end for the Operations Center in Argentina would result in a net additional loss before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 for an amount of Ps. 1,612 and Ps. 2,304, respectively. A 10% depreciation of the US Dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the statements of income.
 
On the other hand, the Group also uses derivatives, such as future exchange contracts, to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019 the Group has future exchange contracts pending for an amount of US$ 95 and US$ 22, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the net position of financial instruments in US Dollars, which exposes the Group to the foreign currency risk amounts to Ps. (1,425) and Ps. (12,806), respectively. The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US Dollar against the Israeli currency would increase loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2020 for an amount of Ps. 536 (Ps. 934 loss in 2019).
 
Interest rate risk
 
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its investments in debt instruments, short-term and long-term borrowings and derivative financial instruments.
 
The primary objective of the Group’s investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Group. The Group maintains a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including both government and corporate obligations and money market funds.
 
The Group’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 21). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.
 
The Group manages this risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities. These activities are evaluated regularly to determine that the Group is not exposed to interest rate fluctuations that could adversely affect its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowing covenants.
 
The Group occasionally manages its cash flow interest rate risk exposure by different hedging instruments, including but not limited to interest rate swap, depending on each particular case. For example, interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates or vice versa.
 
The interest rate risk policy is approved by the Board of Directors. Management analyses the Group’s interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated, taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing sources. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions. Trade payables are normally interest-free and have settlement dates within one year. The simulation is done on a regular basis to verify that the maximum potential loss is within the limits set by management.
 
Note 22 shows a breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings per currency denomination and functional currency of the subsidiary that holds the loans for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
 
1)
Agricultural business
 
The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would increase net loss before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in the amount of Ps. 47.4 and Ps. 35.3, respectively. A 1% decrease in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Income.
 
2)
Urban properties and investments business
 
Operation Center in Argentina
 
The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would increase net loss before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 in the amount of Ps. 33.3 and Ps. 33.6, respectively. A 1% decrease in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Income.
 
As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, 95.2% and 94.1% of the Group’s long-term financial loans in this operation center have a fixed interest rate so that IRSA is not significantly exposed to the fluctuation risk of the interest rate.
 
Operation Center in Israel
 
IDBD and DIC manage the exposure to the interest rate risk in a decentralized way and it is monitored regularly by different management offices in order to confirm that there are no adverse effects over their ability to meet their financial obligations and to comply with their borrowings covenants.
 
As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the 99.4% and 97.1%, respectively, of the Group’s long-term financial borrowings in this operations center are at fixed interest rate, therefore, the Group is not significantly exposed to the interest rate fluctuation risk.
 
 
F-48
 
 
 
The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would increase net loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2020, in approximately Ps. 60 (approximately Ps. 150 in 2019). A 1% decrease in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Income.
 
Commodity price risk and associated derivative financial instruments
 
The Group’s agricultural activities expose it to specific financial risks related to commodity prices. Prices for commodities have historically been cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and changes in capacity within the industry, which affect the profitability of entities engaged in the agricultural industry.
 
Generally, the Group uses derivative instruments to hedge risks arising out of its agricultural business operations. The Group uses a variety of commodity-based derivative instruments to manage exposure to price volatility stemming from its integrated crop production activities. These instruments consist mainly of crop forwards, future contracts and put and call option contracts. Contract positions are designed to ensure that the Group will receive a defined minimum price for certain quantities of its production. The Group combines option contracts with future contracts only as a means of reducing the exposure towards the decrease in commodity prices, as being a producer means that the price is uncertain until the time the products are harvested and sold. The Group manages maximum and minimum prices for each commodity and the idea is to choose the best spot price at which to sell.
 
The Group generally covers up to 49.9% of its crop production in order to finance its operating costs. The hedge consists of taking positions on purchased puts or sold futures and calls that assure a fixed exit price. In the past, the Group has never kept a short position greater than its crop inventories and does not intend to. On the other hand, it is not the Group’s current intention to be exposed in a long derivative position in excess of its actual production.

Gains and losses on commodity-based derivative instruments were Ps. 247 (gain) and Ps. 81 (gain) for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These gains and losses are included in “Other operating results, net” in the Statements of Income.
 
Crops future contracts fair values are computed with reference to quoted market prices on future exchanges.
 
Risk of fluctuations of the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") of Israel
 
The Operations Center in Israel has financial liabilities indexed by the Israeli CPI.
 
Net financial position exposure to the Israeli CPI fluctuations is managed in a decentralized way on a case-by-case basis, by entering into different derivative financial instruments, as the case may be, or by other methods, considered adequate by the Management, based on the circumstances.
 
As of June 30, 2020, 36.9% of the loans are affected by the evolution of the CPI. A 1% increase in the CPI would generate a loss of Ps. 1,112 (Ps.1,617 for 2019) and a decrease of 1% generates a profit of Ps. 1,135 (Ps.1,635 for 2019).
 
Other price risks
 
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk or derivative financial instruments because of investments held in entities that are publicly traded, which were classified on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at “fair value through profit or loss”. The Group regularly reviews the prices evolution of these equity securities in order to identify significant movements.
 
As of June 30, 2020 and 2019 the total value of Group’s investments in shares and derivative financial instruments of public companies amounts to Ps. 20,869 and Ps. 8,595, respectively.
 
In the Operations Center in Israel the investment in Clal is classified on the Statements of Financial Position at “fair value through profit or loss” and represents the most significant IDBD’s exposure to price risk. Neither IDBD or DIC has used hedging against these risks (Note 15). IDBD and DIC regularly review the prices evolution of these equity securities in order to identify significant movements.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% decrease in quoted prices of equity securities and in derivative financial instruments portfolio at year-end would generate a loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2020, of Ps. 2,086 (Ps. 859 in 2019) for the Operations Center in Argentina and a loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2020, of Ps. 464 (Ps. 2,746 in 2019) for the Operations Center in Israel. An increase of 10% on these prices would have an equal and opposite effect in the Statement of Income.
 
(b)
Credit risk management
 
The credit risk arises from the potential non-performance of contractual obligations by the parties, with a resulting financial loss for the Group. Credit limits have been established to ensure that the Group deals only with approved counterparties and that counterparty concentration risk is addressed and the risk of loss is mitigated. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the Group.
 
The Group is subject to credit risk arising from deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments of surplus cash balances, the use of derivative financial instruments and from outstanding receivables. The credit risk is managed on a country-by-country basis. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk.
 
The Group’s policy in each operations center is to manage credit exposure from deposits, short-term investments and other financial instruments by maintaining diversified funding sources in various financial institutions. All the institutions that operate with the Group are well known because of their experience in the market and high credit quality. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents, investments, and other financial instruments with various high credit quality financial institutions, thus mitigating the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the Statements of Financial Position.
 
1)
Agricultural business
 
The Group’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk and commodities prices. The Group generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to each counter party. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty’s obligations exceed the obligations that the Group has with that counterparty. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is representing by the carrying value of the assets positions of these instruments.
 
The Group’s policy is to manage credit risks associated with trade and other receivables within defined trading limits. All Group’s significant counterparties have internal trading limits. The Group’s customers are distinguished between those customers arising out of the investment and development properties activities of the Group from those arising out of its agricultural and agro-industrial operations. These two groups of customers are monitored separately due to their distinct characteristics.
 
Trade receivables from agriculture and agro-industrial activities are primarily derived from the sale of commodities, raw milk, cattle, and sugarcane; receivables from feedlot operations and raw meat products; receivables from the lease of farmland properties; receivables from the sale of farmland properties; and, other receivables from ancillary activities. Trade receivables from agriculture and agro-industrial activities represent 9% and 4% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In contrast with the investment and development properties activities of the Group, the Group’s agribusiness is conducted through several international subsidiaries. The Group has subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. However, Argentina and Brazil together concentrate more than 96% and 94% of the Group’s grain production for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the grain production in Bolivia has not been significant representing only 3% and 6% of the total Group’s crop sales, respectively. Each country has its own established market for the respective grain production. Generally, the entire country’s grain production is sold in the domestic market to well-known multinational exporters such as Molinos, Cargill or Bunge, and/or local exporters. Prices for grains are also generally based on the market prices quoted in the domestic markets, which normally take as reference the prices in international grain exchanges such as the Chicago Board of Trade.
 
For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 47% and 44% of sales of crops in Argentina and Brazil were sold to well-known exporters. The Group performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Although sales are highly concentrated, the Group does not believe that significant credit risk exists at the reporting period due to the high credit rating of these customers.
 
The Group concentrates its cattle production in Argentina where it is entirely sold in the domestic market. The main buyers are slaughterhouses and supermarkets and are well dispersed. Prices in the cattle market in Argentina are basically fixed by local supply and demand. The principal market is the Liniers Market in Buenos Aires, which provides a standard in price formation for the rest of the domestic markets. Live animals are sold by auction on a daily basis in the market, whereas prices are negotiated by kilogram of live weight and are mainly determined by local supply and demand. Some supermarkets and meat packers establish their prices by kilogram of processed meat. In these cases, processing yields influences the final price.

              The Group’s sugarcane production is based in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Bolivia. Brazil concentrates the 100% and 97% of the Group's total sugarcane production as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Currently, the group has two supply agreements of sugarcane. One of them is with Brenco Companhia Brasileira de Energía Renovable (ETH) and the other one Aparecería IV with Agroserra - Agro Pecuária e Industria, in the municipality of São Raimundo das Mangabeiras. Sales to ETH amounted to Ps. 1,421 and Ps. 1,263 and from Agroserra amounted to Ps. 1,891 and Ps. 1,499 during fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Thus, total sales amounted to Ps. 3,313 and Ps. 2,761 in fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, representing 12% and 14% of consolidated agricultural business revenues of the Group of each fiscal year. Although sales are agreed, the Group do not believe that there is a significant collection risk as of the date of year fiscal year, considering the rating of ETH and Agroserra. 
 
The Company does not expect any significant losses resulting from the non-performance of the counterparties in any of the business lines.
 
The maximum exposure to Group’s credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the Statement of Financial Position after deducting any impairment allowance. The Group’s overall exposure of credit risk arising from trade receivables is set out in Note 16.

Operation Center in Argentina
 
Trade receivables related to leases and services provided by the Group represent a diversified tenant base and account for 94.2% and 99.1% of the Group’s total trade receivables of the operations center as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Group has specific policies to ensure that rental contracts are transacted with counterparties with appropriate credit quality. The majority of the Group’s shopping mall, offices and other rental properties’ tenants are well recognized retailers, diversified companies, professional organizations, and others. Owing to the long-term nature and diversity of its tenancy arrangements, the credit risk of this type of trade receivables is considered to be low. Generally, the Group has not experienced any significant losses resulting from the non-performance of any counterpart to the lease contracts and, as a result, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is low. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Group. If there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its past experience, financial position, actual experience and other factors.
Based on the Group’s analysis, the Group determines the size of the deposit that is required from the tenant at inception. Management does not expect any material losses from non-performance by these counterparties (see details on Note 16).
 
On the other hand, property receivables related to the sale of trading properties represent 5.8% and 0.9% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Payments on these receivables have generally been received when due. These receivables are generally secured by mortgages on the properties. Therefore, the credit risk on outstanding amounts is considered very low.
 
Operation Center in Israel
 
IDBD’s and DIC’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. IDBD and DIC generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to each counterparty. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty’s obligations exceed the obligations that IDBD has with that counterparty. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is representing by the carrying value of the assets positions of these instruments.
 
IDBD and DIC’s policy is to manage credit exposure to trade and other receivables within defined trading limits. All IDBD’s significant counterparties have internal trading limits.
 
Trade receivables from investment and development property activities are primarily derived from leases and services from shopping malls, offices and other rental properties; receivables from the sale of trading properties and investment properties (primarily undeveloped land and non-retail rental properties). IDBD and DIC have a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer. The credits for sales from the activities of telecommunications and supermarkets do not present large concentrations of credit risk, not depending on a few customers and with most of their transactions in cash or with credit cards (Note 16).

Liquidity risk management
 
The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature the risk that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements, and the risk that financial assets cannot readily be converted to cash without loss of value. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the Group’s cash flow and Statements of Financial Position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources.
 
Each business (or operation center, as appropriate) monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow; debt maturity; and interest rate exposure. The Group also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates and changes in property values on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.
 
The debt of each operation center and the derivative positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. Each operation center maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium- to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed in accordance with each operation center needs, by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities, as appropriate.
 
The tables below show financial liabilities, including each operation center derivative financial liabilities groupings based on the remaining period at the Statements of Financial Position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result, they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the Statements of Financial Position. However, undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the Statements of Financial Position, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The tables include both interest and principal flows.
 
Where the interest payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the existing conditions at the reporting date.

Capital risk management
 
The capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders’ equity and net borrowings. The type and maturity of the Group’s borrowings are analyzed further in Note 21. The Group’s equity is analyzed into its various components in the Statement of Changes in Equity.
 
Capital is managed so as to promote the long-term success of the business and to maintain sustainable returns for shareholders.
 
The Group seeks to manage its capital requirements to maximize value through the mix of debt and equity funding, while ensuring that Group entities continue to operate as going concerns, comply with applicable capital requirements and maintain strong credit ratings.
 
The Group assesses the adequacy of its capital requirements, cost of capital and gearing (i.e., debt/equity mix) as part of its broader strategic plan. The Group continuously reviews its capital structure to ensure that (i) sufficient funds and financing facilities are available to implement the Group’s property development and business acquisition strategies, (ii) adequate financing facilities for unforeseen contingencies are maintained, and (iii) distributions to shareholders are maintained within the Group’s dividend distribution policy. The Group also protects its equity in assets by obtaining appropriate insurance.
 
The Group’s strategy is to maintain key financing metrics (net debt to total equity ratio or gearing and debt ratio) in order to ensure that asset level performance is translated into enhanced returns for shareholders whilst maintaining an appropriate risk reward balance to accommodate changing financial and operating market cycles.
 
The following tables details the Group’s key metrics in relation to managing its capital structure. The ratios are within the ranges previously established by the Group’s strategy.

Nature risks
 
The Group’s revenue arising from agricultural activities depends significantly on the ability to manage biological assets and agricultural produce. The ability to manage biological assets and agricultural produce may be affected by unfavorable local weather conditions and natural disasters. Weather conditions such as floods, droughts, hail, windstorms and natural disasters such as fire, disease, insect infestation and pests are examples of such unpredictable events. The Group manages this risk by locating its farmlands in different geographical areas. The Group has not taken out insurance for this kind of risks. The occurrence of severe weather conditions or natural disasters may affect the growth of our biological assets, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s ability to harvest agricultural produce in sufficient quantities and in a timely way.

Segment information
 
IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM. According to IFRS 8, the CODM represents a function whereby strategic decisions are made and resources are assigned. The CODM function is carried out by the President of the Group, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain. In addition, two responsibility levels have been established for resource allocation and assessment of results of the two operations centers, through executive committees in Argentina and Israel.
 
Segment information is reported from the perspective of products and services: (i) agricultural business and (ii) urban properties and investment business. In addition, this last segment is reported divided from the geographic point of view in two Operations Centers to manage its global interests: Argentina and Israel. Within each operations center, the Group considers separately the various activities being developed, which represent reporting operating segments given the nature of its products, services, operations and risks. Management believes the operating segment clustering in each operations center reflects similar economic characteristics in each region, as well as similar products and services offered, types of clients and regulatory environments.
 
As from fiscal year 2018 the CODM reviews the operating income/loss of each business excluding the amounts related to management fees, being such amount reviewed at an aggregate level outside each business. Additionally, the CODM reviews certain corporate expenses associated with each business in an aggregate manner and separately from each of the segments, such expenses have been disclosed in the "Corporate" segment of each operation center.
 
As further explained in Note 1, on September 25, 2020, the Group lost control over IDBD and DIC, which comprise the entire Operations Center in Israel. Accordingly, segment information in these financial statements has been recast to reflect the deconsolidation of IDBD, DIC and its subsidiaries. Starting on October 1, 2020, the Group has a single geographic segment in the urban properties and investment business, located in Argentina.

Below is the segment information prepared as follows:
 
Agricultural business
 
● 
Agricultural production: segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of crops as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers; the sale of grain derivatives, such as flour and oil, breeding, purchasing and/or fattening of free-range cattle for sale to meat processors and local livestock auction markets.; agricultural services; leasing of the Group's farms to third parties; and planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane
● 
Land transformation and sales: comprises gains from the disposal and development of farmlands activities.
● 
Corporate: includes corporate expenses related to agricultural business.
● 
Other segments: includes, principally, slaughtering and processing in the meat refrigeration plant; and brokerage activities, among others.
 
Urban properties and investments business
 
● 
Operation Center in Argentina includes the assets and operating results of the following segments:
 
o
Shopping Malls: includes results principally comprised of lease and service revenues related to rental of commercial space and other spaces in the shopping malls of the Group.
o
Offices: includes the operating results from lease revenues of offices, other rental spaces and other service revenues related to the office activities.
o
Sales and developments: includes the operating results of the development, maintenance and sales of undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties. Real estate sales results are also included.
o
Hotels: includes the operating results mainly comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.
o
International: includes assets and operating profit or loss from business related to associates Condor (hotels) and New Lipstick (offices).
o
Corporate: includes the expenses related to the corporate activities of the Operations Center in Argentina.
o
Others: primarily includes the entertainment activities through La Arena and La Rural S.A. and the financial activities carried out by BHSA and Tarshop.
 
As of fiscal year 2018, the CODM also reviews the office business as a single segment and the entertainment business in an aggregate and separate manner from offices, including that concept in the "Others" segment.
 
The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of operating segments of this operations center based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the share of profit / (loss) of joint ventures and associates. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the following:
 
● 
Operating results from joint ventures are evaluated by the CODM applying proportional consolidation method. Under this method, the profit/loss generated and assets are reported in the Statement of Income line-by-line based on the percentage held in joint ventures rather than in a single item as required by IFRS. Management believes that the proportional consolidation method provides more useful information to understand the business return. On the other hand, the investment in the joint venture La Rural S.A. is accounted for under the equity method since this method is considered to provide more accurate information in this case.
● 
Operating results from Shopping Malls and Offices segments do not include the amounts pertaining to building administration expenses and collective promotion funds (“FPC”, as per its Spanish acronym) as well as total recovered costs, whether by way of expenses or other concepts included under financial results (for example default interest and other concepts). The CODM examines the net amount from these items (total surplus or deficit between building administration expenses and FPC and recoverable expenses).
 
Revenues for each reporting segments derive from a large and diverse client base and, therefore, there is no revenue concentration in any particular segment.
 
● 
Operation Center in Israel : As explained in Note 1, results of operations and cash flows of the Operations Center in Israel have been presented within discontinued operations in these financial statements. Within this operations center, the Group operates in the following segments:
 
o
Real Estate: segment in which, through PBC, the Group operates rental properties and residential properties in Israel, USA and other parts of the world and carries out commercial projects in Las Vegas, USA. In this fiscal year, the Company lost control over Gav-Yam. Income was reclassified to discontinued operations and no longer forms part of this segment in this fiscal year. Such effect was reclassified in the comparative information. As of September 2018, Gav-Yam started to be valued as an associate.

o
Supermarkets: segment in which, through Shufersal, the Group operated a supermarket chain in Israel. Upon the loss of control in 2018 this segment was reclassified to discontinued operations and presented as an associate since 2019. Due to the loss of control, it was reclassified to discontinued operations and no longer forms part of the segment for fiscal year 2018.
o
Telecommunications: includes Cellcom whose main activities include the provision of mobile phone services, fixed line phone services, data and Internet and television, among others.
o
Insurance: includes the investment in Clal, insurance company which main activities includes pension and social security insurance, among others. As stated in Note 18, the Group does not have control over Clal; therefore, the business is reported in a single line as a financial asset held for sale and valued at fair value.
o
Corporate: includes the expenses related with the activities of the holding companies.
o
Others: includes other diverse business activities, such as technological developments, tourism, oil and gas assets, electronics, sale of fruits and others.
 
The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of operating segments of this operations center based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of established prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.
 
Within the agricultural business, most revenue from its operating segments are generated from, and their assets are located in Argentina and Brazil, mainly
 
Within the Operations Center in Argentina, most revenue from its operating segments is derived from, and their assets are located in, Argentina, except for the share of profit / (loss) of associates included in the “International” segment located in USA.
 
Within the urban properties and investment business in the operations center in Israel, most revenue from its operating segments are derived from and their assets are located in Israel, except for certain earnings from the Real Estate segment, which are generated from activities outside Israel, mainly in USA.
 
Within the agricultural business and the urban properties and investments business from the operations center in Argentina, the assets categories reviewed by the CODM are investment properties, property, plant and equipment, trading properties, inventories, biological assets, right to receive future units under barter agreements, investment in joint ventures and associates and goodwill. The aggregate of these assets, classified by business segment, are disclosed as “segment assets”. Assets are allocated to each segment based on the operations and/or their physical location.

Restrictions, commitments and other relevant issues
 
Analysis of the impact of the Concentration Law
 
On December 2013, was published in the Official Gazette of Israel the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Concentration Law N°, 5774-13 (‘the Concentration Law’) which has material implications for IDBD, DIC and its investors, including the disposal of the controlling interest in Clal. In accordance with the provisions of the law, the structures of companies that make public offer of their securities are restricted to two layers of public companies.
 
 
F-65
 
 
In November 2017, Dolphin IL, a subsidiary of Dolphin Netherlands B.V. acquired all the shares owned by IDBD in DIC (See note 4). Thus, the section required by the aforementioned law for the year 2017 is completed.
 
Prior to December 31, 2019 the Group lost control over Gav-Yam and in March 2020 it acquired control over Mehadrin, thus complying with the above-mentioned law.
 
Dolphin arbitration process
 
There is an arbitration process going on between Dolphin and ETH (previous shareholder of IDBD) in relation to certain issues connected to the control obtainment of IDBD (mainly regarding who had the right of purchase and the price of the acquisition). In the arbitration process the parties have agreed to designate Eyal Rosovshy and Giora Erdinas to promote a mediation. On August 17, 2017, a mediation hearing was held and the parties failed to reach an agreement. On January 31, 2018, the parties agreed to follow the process in court. As of the date of presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no other developments in the process and it is still pending resolution. Management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, considers that the resolution of the present litigation will not have an adverse effect for Dolphin.

On August 7, 2020, as a consequence of negotiations conducted in the context of an increased lease price effective as of May 2020, as set forth in the lease (hereinafter, “Ground Lease”), Metropolitan (a company where IRSA holds, indirectly, a 49.96% interest) executed an agreement with the Ground Lease lessor to conclude the relationship and terminate the ground lease, abandoning the administration of the building. As a consequence of the foregoing, Metropolitan derecognized the liability associated to the ground lease, as well as all assets and liabilities associated to the building and the administration. Pursuant to such agreement, Metropolitan was fully released from liability except for (i) claims for liabilities prior to June 1, 2020, from those persons who performed works or rendered services in the Building or for Metropolitan and (ii) claims from persons who had an accident in the property after August 7, 2020.
 
Gav-Yam
 
Considering that, on June 30, 2020, the market value of Gav-Yam was lower than its carrying value, PBC management considered whether there may be signs of impairment of the investment in such company. Based on the management´s review, with the assistance of external advisors, PBC considered that there was no evidence of investment impairment. Some of the factors considered are listed below:
 
●
The price of Gav-Yam shares has been significantly volatile since mid-March 2020; therefore, the fact that the market cap of the company was lower than the carrying value as of June 30, 2020 has not been considered as tantamount to a significant or sustained decrease;
●
On August 4, 2020, Aharon Frenkel purchased approximately 8.6% of Gav-Yam´s capital stock at a value of NIS 2,091/share, which circumstance reinforces the management´s conclusions;
●
Gav-Yam income as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 show that Gav-Yam is a stable company with a high quality and wide-ranging client portfolio.

In March 2011, Quality acquired an industrial plant located in San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires. The facilities are suitable for multiple uses. On January 20, 2015, Quality agreed with the Municipality of San Martin on certain re zoning and other urban planning matters (“the Agreement”) to surrender a non-significant portion of the land and a monetary consideration of Ps. 40 million, payable in two installments of Ps. 20 each, the first of which was actually paid on June 30, 2015. In July 2017, the Agreement was amended as follows: 1) a revised zoning plan must be submitted within 120 days as from the amendment date, and 2) the second installment of the monetary considerations was increased to Ps. 71 million payables in 18 equal monthly installments. On March 8, 2018, it was agreed with the well-known Gehl Study (Denmark) - Urban Quality Consultant - the elaboration of a Master Plan, generating a modern concept of New Urban District of Mixed Uses.

BHSA
 
BHSA is subject to certain restrictions on the distribution of profits, as required by BCRA regulations.
 
As of June 30, 2020, BHSA has a remnant of 35.2 million Class C treasury shares of a par value of Ps. 1 received in 2009 as a result of certain financial transactions. The Annual Shareholders' Meeting decided to allocate 35.1 million of such shares to an employee compensation plan pursuant to Section 67 of Law 26,831. The remaining shares belong to third party holders of Stock Appreciation Rights, who have failed to produce the documentation required for redemption purposes. As of June 30, 2020, considering the effect of such treasury shares, the Group’s interest in BHSA amounts to 29.91%.
 
The Group estimated that the value in use of its investment in BHSA as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 amounted to Ps. 6,387, Ps. 5,944, respectively. The value in use was estimated based on the present value of future business cash flows. The main assumptions used were the following:
 
- 
The Group considered 7 years as the horizon for the projection of BHSA cash flows.
- 
The “Private BADLAR” interest rate was projected based on internal data and information gathered from external advisors.
- 
The projected exchange rate was estimated in accordance with internal data and external information provided by independent consultants.
- 
The discount rate used to discount actual dividend flows was 13.82% in 2020 and 14.37% in 2019.
 
 
F-68
 
 
- 
The sensitivity to a 1% increase in the discount rate would be a reduction in the value in use of Ps. 577 for 2020 and of Ps. 542 for 2019.
Puerto Retiro (joint venture):
 
At present, this 8.3-hectare plot of land, is affected by a zoning regulation defined as U.P. which prevents the property from being used for any purposes other than strictly port activities.
 
Puerto Retiro was involved in a judicial bankruptcy action brought by the National Government. The current Board of Directors would not be held personally liable with regard to this action. Management and legal counsel of the Company believe that there are sufficient legal and technical arguments to consider that the petition for extension of the bankruptcy case will be dismissed by the court. However, in view of the current status of the action, its result cannot be predicted.
 
Moreover, Tandanor filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro S.A. and the other defendants in the criminal case for violation of Section 174 (5) based on Section 173 (7) of the Criminal Code of Argentina. Such action seeks -on the basis of the nullity of the decree that approved the bidding process involving the Dársena Norte property- the restitution of the property and a reimbursement in favor of Tandanor for all such amounts it has allegedly lost as a result of a suspected fraudulent transaction involving the sale of the property. Puerto Retiro has presented the allegation on the merit of the evidence, highlighting that the current shareholders of Puerto Retiro did not participate in any of the suspected acts in the criminal case since they acquired the shares for consideration and in good faith several years after the facts told in the process. Likewise, it was emphasized that the company Puerto Retiro is foreign to the bidding / privatization carried out for the sale of Tandanor shares. On September 7, 2018, the Oral Federal Criminal Court No. 5 rendered a decision. According to the sentence read by the president of the Court, Puerto Retiro won the preliminary objection of limitation filed in the civil action. However, in the criminal case, where Puerto Retiro is not a party, it was ordered, among other issues, the confiscation (“decomiso”) of the property owned by Puerto Retiro known as Planta I. The grounds of the Court`s judgment were read on November 11, 2018. From that moment, all the parties were able to present the appeals. Given this fact, an extraordinary appeal was filed, which was rejected, and as a result, a complaint was filed for a rejected appeal, which was granted. Consequently, the appeal is under study in the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice.
 
In the criminal action, the claimant reported the violation by Puerto Retiro of the injunction ordered by the criminal court consisting in an order to stay (“prohibición de innovar”) and not to contract with respect to the property disputed in the civil action. As a result of this complaint, the Federal Oral Court No. 5 formed an incident and ordered and executed the closure of the property where the lease agreements were being executed (a heliport and a mooring), in order to enforce compliance with the measure before mentioned. As a result of this circumstance, it was learned that the proceedings were turned over to the Criminal Chamber for the allocation of the court to investigate the possible commission of a crime of disobedience. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements there has been no news about the progress of this cause.
 
Faced with the evolution of the legal cases that affect it and based on the reports of its legal advisors, Puerto Retiro Management has decided to register in fiscal year 2019 an allowance equivalent to 100% of the book value of its investment property, without prejudice to reverse it when a favorable ruling is obtained in the interposed actions.

Valuation processes
 
The Group’s investment properties were valued at each reporting date by independent professionally qualified appraisers who hold a recognized relevant professional qualification and have experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties appraised. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.
 
Each business (or operations center, as appropriate) has a team, which reviews the appraisals performed by the independent appraisers (the “review team”). The review team: i) verifies all major and important assumptions relevant to the appraisal in the valuation report from the independent appraisers; ii) assesses property valuation movements compared to the valuation report from the prior period; and iii) holds discussions with the independent appraisers.
 
Changes in Level 2 and 3 fair values, if any, are analyzed at each reporting date during the valuation discussions between the review team and the independent appraisers. In the case of the Operations Center in Argentina, the Board of Directors ultimately approves the fair value calculation for recording into the Financial Statements. In the case of the Operations Center in Israel, the appraisals are examined by Israel Management and reported to the Financial Statements Committee.
 
Valuation techniques used for the estimation of fair value of the investment property
 
Agricultural business
 
For all leases of agricultural land with a total valuation of Ps. 4,514 and Ps. 6,027 for fiscal years ended on June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the valuation was determined using comparable values. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare.
 
Urban properties and investments business
 
Argentina operations center
 
The Group has defined valuation techniques according to the characteristics of each property and the type of market in which these assets are located, in order to maximize the use of observable information available for the determination of fair value.
 
For the Shopping Malls there is no liquid market for the sale of properties with these characteristics that can be taken as a reference of value. Likewise, the Shopping Malls, being a business denominated in pesos, are highly related to the fluctuation of macroeconomic variables in Argentina, the purchasing power of individuals, the economic cycle of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, the evolution of inflation, among others. Consequently, the methodology adopted by the Group for the valuation of Shopping Malls is the discounted cash flow model (“DCF”), which allows the volatility of the Argentine economy to be taken into account and its correlation with the revenue streams of the Malls and the inherent risk of the Argentine macroeconomy. The DCF methodology contemplates the use of certain unobservable valuation assumptions, which are determined reliably based on the information and internal sources available at the date of each measurement. These assumptions mainly include the following:
 
 
F-70
 
 
●
Future cash flow projected income based on the current locations, type and quality of the properties, backed by the lease agreements that the Company has signed with its tenants. The Company's revenues are equal to the higher of: i) a Minimum Insured Fixed Value (“VMA”) and ii) a percentage of the tenant's sales in each Shopping Mall. Accordingly, estimates of the evolution of the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP) and the Inflation of the Argentine economy, as provided by an external consultant were used to estimate the evolution of tenant sales, which have a high correlation with these macroeconomic variables. These macroeconomic projections were contrasted with the projections prepared by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and with the Survey of Market Expectations (“REM”), which consists of a Survey prepared by the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) aimed to local and foreign specialized analysts in order to allow a systematic follow-up of the main short and medium term macroeconomic forecasts on the evolution of the Argentine economy.
●
The income from all Shopping Malls was considered to grow with the same elasticity in relation to the evolution of the GDP and the projected inflation. The specific characteristics and risks of each Shopping Mall are captured through the use of the historical average EBITDA Margin of each of them.
●
Cash flows from future investments, expansions or improvements in Shopping Mall were not contemplated.
●
Terminal value: a perpetuity calculated from the cash flow of the last year of useful life was considered.
●
The cash flow for concessions was projected until the termination date of the concession stipulated in the current contract.
●
Given the prevailing inflationary context and the volatility of certain macroeconomic variables, a reference long term interest rate in pesos is not available to discount the projected cash flows from shopping malls. Consequently, the projected cash flows were dollarized through the future ARS / US$ exchange rate curve provided by an external consultant, which are contrasted to assess their reasonableness with those of the IMF, OECD, REM and the On-shore Exchange Rate Futures Market (ROFEX). Finally, dollarized cash flows were discounted with a long-term dollar rate, the weighted average capital cost rate (“WACC”), for each valuation date.
●
The estimation of the WACC discount rate was determined according to the following components:
 
a) United State Governments Bonds risk-free rate;
b) Industry beta, considering comparable companies from the United States, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, in order to contemplate the Market Risk on the risk-free rate;
c) Argentine country risk considering the EMBI + Index; and
d) Cost of debt and capital structure, considering that information available from the Argentine corporate market (“blue chips”) was determined as a reference, since sovereign bonds have a history of defaults. Consequently, and because IRSA CP, based on its representativeness and market share represents the most important entity in the sector, we have taken its indicators to determine the discount rate.
 
For offices, other rental properties and plot of lands, the valuation was determined using transactions of comparable market assets, since the market for offices and land banks in Argentina is liquid and has market transactions that can be taken as reference. These values are adjusted to the differences in key attributes such as location, property size and quality of interior fittings. The most significant input to the comparable market approach is the price per square meter that derives from the supply and demand in force in the market at each valuation date.
 
Since September 2019, the real estate market has faced certain changes in terms of its operation as a consequence of the implementation of regulations applicable to the foreign exchange market. In general terms, the measure adopted on September 1, 2019 by the BCRA sets forth that exporters of goods and services should settle foreign currency from abroad in the local exchange market 5 days after the collection of such funds, at the latest. Furthermore, it provides that legal entities residing in Argentina may buy foreign currency without restrictions for imports or payments of debts on the maturity date thereof, although they shall apply for the BCRA´s prior authorization for the purposes of: buying foreign currency in order to form external assets, prepaying debts, making remittances of profits and dividends abroad or transferring funds abroad. Likewise, pursuant to such regulations, access to the market by natural persons for the purchase of dollars was restricted. Afterwards, the BCRA implemented stricter measures, further limiting access to the foreign exchange market (see Note 39 to these consolidated financial statements).
 
At present, purchase and sales transactions for office buildings may be settled in Pesos (by using an implicit foreign exchange rate higher than the official one) or in dollars. However, due to the restrictions applicable to access to dollars to which market participant are subject (most of them are domestic companies and local subsidiaries of foreign companies, all of them subject to the foreign exchange restrictions described above), the chances that a natural person or legal entity may obtain the funds required to execute a transaction in dollars are remote. Consequently, the most probable scenario is that any sale of office buildings/reserves be settled in Pesos at an implicit foreign exchange rate higher than the official one. This is evidenced by the transactions consummated by the Company prior to and after the closing of these financial statements. (See Note 4 and Note 39 to the consolidated financial statements). Therefore, the Company has valued its office buildings and land reserves as of the fiscal year-end taking into account the circumstances described above, which represents a gain with respect to the values previously recorded.
 
 
F-71
 
 
 
In certain situations, it is complex to determine reliably the fair value of developing properties. In order to assess whether the fair value of a developing property can be determined reliably, management considers the following factors, among others:
 
● The provisions of the construction contract.
● The stage of completion.
● Whether the project / property is standard (typical for the market) or non-standard.
● The level of reliability of cash inflows after completion.
● The specific development risk of the property.
● Previous experience with similar constructions.
● Status of construction permits.
 
There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the year.
 
Israel operations center
 
Valuations were performed using the DCF method. The discount rates used by appraisers in Israel are mainly in the range of 7% - 9% and are established taking into account the type of property, purpose, location, the level of rent compared to the market price and quality of the tenants.
 
When determining the value of office buildings, buildings aimed at to the technology sector and commercial spaces (mainly located in the city center and in high-tech office parks with high-quality tenants), the discount rates mainly used are between 7% to 9%, while for workshop, storage and industry buildings (mainly located in peripheral areas of the city) they are valuated using a discount rate between 7.75% -9%.
 
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

On January 9, 2017, the INRA released a report declaring that Las Londras farm (4565 ha.), with a book value of Ps. 581 as of June 30, 2020, is within the area of the “Guarayos Forestry Reserve” and establishes that the property of Agropecuaria Acres del Sud S.A. should be reduced to 50 hectares, while the remaining acreage would be reverted upon as a fiscal land once the process is concluded. It should be noted that the report is preliminary and is subject to appeal by the interested parties. The Company exercising its rights presented an administrative filing and within the associations of producers that the company is part of.

Amortization charge was recognized in the amount of Ps. 369 and Ps. 1,133 under "Costs", in the amount of Ps. 1,780 and Ps. 2,438 under "General and administrative expenses" and Ps. 2,907 and Ps. 2,409 under "Selling expenses" as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively in the Statements of Income (Note 27). In addition, a charge of Ps. 569 was recognized under "Discontinued operations" as of June 30, 2019.
 
The goodwill assigned to real estate in Israel amounts to NIS 268 (Ps. 5,868 at the exchange rate at the end of the financial year 2020), the one assigned to supermarkets amounted to NIS 192 and the assigned to Israel real state amounted to NIS 113. The rest is goodwill that is allocated to the real estate segment of Argentina.
 
Goodwill impairment test
 
The Group performs an annual impairment test of the goodwill. For fiscal year 2020, the recoverable value obtained for said test corresponding to the CGUs where the goodwill is assigned (Israel's Telecommunications) was calculated based on the fair value (market value) minus the costs of sale.
 
For the fiscal year 2019, based on the significant decrease in the market value of Cellcom and its results in the last financial year, caused by the greater competition in the cell phone market in Israel as a result of the entry of new competitors, the Group calculated the recoverable value at the end of the year of the telecommunications CGU based on the value in use of the assets. This test resulted in the goodwill attributable to Cellcom for an amount of Ps. 4,919 (NIS 268) being recoverable.
 
The value in use as of June 30, 2019, was determined by an independent appraiser and was estimated at Ps. 90,601 (NIS 4,936).
 
The cash flow was calculated based on the budgets approved by management covering a period of 5 years. Subsequent cash flows were estimated based on the long-term growth rate. The main data and assumptions used in the calculation of the value in use were the following:
 
 
  06.30.19 
Net value of the CGU net of taxes
 
NIS 294
 
Value of the net operating assets of the telecommunications CGU of Israel (including brands and excluding goodwill)
 
NIS 3,668

  25%
ARPU (average monthly income per user) during the representative term (excludes income from international hosting and roaming)
 
NIS 55.50
 
 
 
F-74
 
 
The recoverable amount of the CGU would be equal to the book value in the scenarios in which the relevant variables are the following, in the event that the rest of the variables remain constant:
 
Annual net discount rate after taxes
  9.20%
ARPU (average monthly income per user) during the representative term (excludes income from international hosting and roaming)

(i)
Biological assets with a production cycle of more than one year (that is, cattle) generated “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets” amounting to Ps. 279 and Ps. 109 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, amounts of Ps. 292 and Ps. (100), was attributable to price changes, and amounts of Ps. (13) and Ps. 209, was attributable to physical changes generated by production result, respectively.
 
Crops and oilseeds
 
The Group’s crops generally include crops and oilseeds (corn, wheat, soybean and sunflower) as well as peanut. The Group measures biological assets that have attained significant biological growth at fair value less costs to sell. The Group measures biological assets that have not attained significant biological growth or when the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material, at cost less any impairment losses, which approximates fair value.
 
Sugarcane
 
The Group’s sugarcane production is based in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Bolivia. This crop’s production requires specific weather conditions (tropical and subtropical climates. The Group recognizes these crops at a fair value net of costs of sales from the moment of planting.
 
Fair value of biological assets
 
When an active market exists for biological assets, the Group uses the quoted market price in the principal market as a basis to determine the fair value of its biological. Live cattle is measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on market quoted at an auction involving cattle of the same age, breed and genetic merit adjusted, if applicable, to reflect any difference. When there is no active market or market-determined prices are not available, (for example, unharvested crops with significant growth or growing agricultural produce of sugarcane), the Group determines the fair value of a biological asset based on discounted cash flows models.
 
These models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including observable and unobservable data. The not observable information is determined based on the best information available for example, by reference to historical information of past practices and results, statistics and agricultural information and other analytical techniques. Key assumptions utilized in this method include future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest and estimated future costs of harvesting and other costs.
 
 
F-76
 
 
Market prices are generally determined by reference to observable data in the principal market for the agricultural produce. Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated based on several factors including the location of the farmland and soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of the Group’s control including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other crop diseases.
 
The key assumptions discussed above are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices, costs and discount factors used may result in a significant increase or decrease to the fair value of biological assets recognized at any given time. Cash flows are projected based on estimated production. Estimates of production in themselves are dependent on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact on estimated production, and could therefore affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value. The valuation models and their assumptions are reviewed periodically, and, if necessary, adjusted.
 
As of June 30 of each year, the Group’s biological assets that are subject to a valuation model include unharvested crops and sugarcane plantations.
 
During years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there have been no transfers between the several tiers used in estimating the fair value of the Group’s biological assets, or reclassifications among their respective categories.
 
The fair value less estimated point of sale costs of agricultural produce at the point of harvest amount to Ps. 13,975 and Ps. 10,539 for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 
When no quoted prices are available in an active market, the Group uses a range of valuation models. The following table presents main parameters:

Financial instruments by category
 
The following note presents the financial assets and financial liabilities by category and a reconciliation to the corresponding line in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, as appropriate. Since the line items “Trade and other receivables” and “Trade and other payables” contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets or liabilities (such as prepayments, trade receivables, trade payables in-kind and tax receivables and payables), the reconciliation is shown in the columns headed “Non-financial assets” and “Non-financial liabilities”. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are assigned based on their different levels in the fair value hierarchy
 
IFRS 9 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 7. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels.
 
In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company can refer to at the date of valuation.
 
In the case of Level 2, fair value is determined by using valuation methods based on inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market. If the financial instrument concerned has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period.
 
In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no market data is available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which market players would consider in their pricing.
 
The Group’s Finance Division has a team in place in charge of estimating the valuation of financial assets required to be reported in the Consolidated 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, as of the end of each reporting period.
 
According to the Group’s policy, transfers among the several categories of valuation are recognized when occurred, or when there are changes in the prevailing circumstances requiring the transfer.

(i) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at their amortized cost does not differ significantly from their book value, except for borrowings (Note 22).
(ii) Corresponds to deposits in guarantee and escrows.
 
Liabilities carried at amortized cost also include liabilities under finance leases where the Group is the lessee and which therefore have to be measured in accordance with IAS 17 “Leases”. The categories disclosed are determined by reference to IFRS 9. Finance leases are excluded from the scope of IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments Disclosures”. Therefore, finance leases have been shown separately

Clal
 
Clal is a holding company that mainly operates in the insurance and pension markets and in segments of pension funds. The Company holds assets and other businesses (such as insurance agencies) and is one of the largest insurance groups in Israel. Clal mainly develops its activities in three operating segments: long-term savings, general insurance and health insurance.
 
Given that IDBD failed to meet the requirements set forth to have control over an insurance company, on August 21, 2013, the Commissioner required that IDBD granted an irrevocable power of attorney to Mr. Moshe Tery ("the Trustee") for the 51% of the shareholding capital and vote interests in Clal, thus transferring control over that investee. From such date, IDBD recognized its equity interest in Clal as a financial asset held for sale, at fair value through profit or loss.
 
On December 30, 2014, the Commissioner sent an additional letter setting a term by which IDBD’s control over and equity interests in Clal were to be sold and giving directions as to the Trustee’s continuity in office, among other aspects. Refer to Note 4 and Note 40 of these financial statements for the sale of Clal shares.

The Group transferred a financial asset measured at fair value from level 3 to level 1, because it began trading in the stock exchange.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, shares of private companies were transferred from level 3 to level 1 when they began trading. When there are no quoted prices available in an active market, fair values (especially derivative instruments) are based on recognized valuation methods. The Group uses a range of valuation models for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments, details of which may be obtained from the following table.

Shareholders’ Equity
 
Share capital and share premium
 
The Group's share capital is represented by ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1 peso per share and one vote each. No other activity has been recorded for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 in the capital accounts.
 
Inflation adjustment of share capital
 
The inflation adjustment related to share capital is allocated to an inflation adjustment reserve that forms part of shareholders' equity. The balance of this reserve could be applied only towards the issuance of common stock to shareholders of the Company
 
Treasury shares
 
On December 5, 2018, the Board of Directors of Cresud approved the repurchase of shares issued by the Company and established the terms and conditions for the acquisition of treasury shares, under the terms of Article 64 of Law No. 26,831 and the CNV rules, for up to a maximum amount of Ps. 462 million and up to 10% of the share capital in the form of ordinary shares or American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) representative of 10 shares each, up to daily limit of up to 25% of the average volume of daily transactions that the Company's shares have experienced, jointly in the listed markets, during the previous 90 business days, and at a maximum price of up to US$ 15.50 per ADS and up to a maximum value in pesos equivalent to the maximum price per ADS divided by 10 and multiplied by the value of the exchange rate of the National Bank of at each period. Also, on March 1, 2019, the Board of Directors of Cresud approved the extension of the repurchase term for a period of 30 days in addition to the timely approved.
 
On March 13, 2019, the above mention plan was completed and the Company acquired the equivalent of 6,394,009 common shares representing 99.97% of the approved program and 1.27% of Cresud's share capital, which correspond to 1,095,009 ordinary shares for a total of Ps. 80 and 529,900 ADRs (representing 5,299,000 ordinary shares) for a total of US$ 6.5 (equivalent to Ps. 381).
 
On March 14, 2019, the Board of Directors of Cresud approved a new repurchase of shares by the Company and established the terms and conditions for the acquisition of treasury shares by the Company, under the terms of Article 64 of the Law No. 26,831 and the CNV rules, for up to a maximum amount of Ps. 462 million and up to 10% of the share capital in the form of ordinary shares or ADS, up to a daily limit of up to 25% of the average volume of transactions daily that have experienced the shares of the Company, jointly in the markets that it quotes, during the previous 90 business days, and to a maximum of up to US$ 15.50 per ADS and up to a maximum value in pesos equivalent to the maximum price per ADS divided by 10 and multiplied by the value of the exchange rate of the National Bank of at each period. The repurchase period was set in up to 90 days, beginning the day following the date of publication of the information in the Daily Bulletin of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.
 
On June 26, 2019, the repurchase plan was completed, and the Company acquired the equivalent of 6,712,465 ordinary shares representing 99.96% of the approved program and 1.34% of Cresud's share capital which correspond to 3,824,035 ordinary shares for a total of Ps. 263 and 288,843 ADRs (representative of 2,888,430 ordinary shares) for a total of US$ 2.9 (equivalent to Ps. 198).
 
Legal reserve
 
According to Law N° 19,550, 5% of the profit of the year is destinated to constitute a legal reserve until it reaches the legal capped amounts (20% of total capital). This legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The Group has not reached the legal limit of this reserve.
 
Special reserve
 
The CNV, through General Ruling N° 562/9 and 576/10, has provided for the application of Technical Resolutions N° 26 and 29 of the FACPCE, which adopt the IFRS, IASB for companies subject to the public offering regime ruled by Law 17,811, due to the listing of their shares or corporate notes, and for entities that have applied for authorization to be listed under the mentioned regime. The Group has applied IFRS, as issued by the IASB, for the first time in the year beginning July 1, 2012, with the transition date being July 1, 2011. Pursuant to CNV General Ruling N° 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. The reserve recorded in due course amounted to Ps. 993, which as of June 30, 2018 were fully used to absorb the negative balances in the retained earnings account. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to change the accounting policy of investment property from the cost method to the fair value method, as allowed by IAS 40.
 
 
F-85
 
 
 
For this reason, as of the transition date, figures have been modified and, hence, the special reserve as set forth by General Ruling CNV N° 609/12 has been increased to Ps. 3,902, which may only be reversed to be capitalized or to absorb potential negative balances under retained earnings.
 
Dividends
 
The Shareholders Meeting held on October 31, 2017, approved a distribution of dividends for Ps. 608, which were paid during the month of November 2017. During the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2018 there was no dividend distribution.
 
Distribution of treasury shares
 
In accordance with the resolutions Shareholders' Meeting held on October 30, 2019 and the provisions of the Board of Directors of Cresud on the same day, the distribution of treasury stock of the Company duly acquired by a company took place on November 13, 2019. The number of shares distributed was 13,000,000, which constitutes 0.026 shares per ordinary share and 0.26 per ADS, and a percentage of 2.59% of the capital of Ps. 540 and 2.66% of the net capital which exclude treasury shares of Ps. 537.

Provisions
 
The Group is subject to claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including claims from clients where a third party seeks reimbursement or damages. The Group’s responsibility under such claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. From time to time, the status of each major issue is evaluated and its potential financial exposure is assessed. If the potential loss involved in the claim or proceeding is deemed probable and the amount may be reasonably estimated, a liability is recorded. The Group estimates the amount of such liability based on the available information and in accordance with the provisions of the IFRS. If additional information becomes available, the Group will make an evaluation of claims, lawsuits and other outstanding proceeding, and will revise its estimates.

(iii)
The Group’s companies are required to recognize certain costs related to the dismantling of assets and remediation of sites from the places where such assets are located. The calculation of such expenses is based on the dismantling value for the current year, taking into consideration the best estimate of future changes in prices, inflation, etc. and such costs are capitalized at a risk-free interest rate. Volume projections for retired or built assets are recast based on expected changes from technological rulings and requirements.
(iv)
Provisions for other contractual obligations include a series of obligations resulting from a contractual liability or law, regarding which there is a high degree of uncertainty as to the terms and the necessary amounts to discharge such liability.
(v)
In November 2009, PBC’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors approved the agreement with Rock Real whereby the latter would look for and propose to PBC the acquisition of commercial properties outside Israel, in addition to assisting in the negotiations and management of such properties. In return, Rock Real would receive 12% of the net income generated by the acquired property. Pursuant to amendment 16 of the Israel Commercial Act 5759-1999, the agreement must be ratified by the Audit Committee before the third year after the effective date; otherwise, it expires. The agreement has not been ratified by the audit committee within such three-year term, so in January 2017 PBC issued a statement that hinted at the expiration of the agreement and informed that it would begin negotiations to reduce the debt. The parties have appointed an arbitrator that should render a decision on the dispute. The remaining corresponds to provisions related to investment properties.
 
Cresud
 
On February 23, 2016, a class action was filed against IRSA, the Company, some first-line managers and directors with the District Court of the USA for the Central District of California. The complaint, on behalf of people holding American Depositary Receipts of IRSA between November 3, 2014 and December 30, 2015, claims presumed violations to the US federal securities laws. In addition, it argues that defendants have made material misrepresentations and made some omissions related to IRSA’s investment in IDBD.
 
Such complaint was voluntarily waived on May 4, 2016 by the plaintiff and filed again on May 9, 2016 with the US District Court by the East District of Pennsylvania.
 
Furthermore, the Companies and some of its first-line managers and directors are defendants in a class action filed on April 29, 2016 with the US District Court of the East District of Pennsylvania. The complaint, on behalf of people holding American Depositary Receipts of the Company between May 13, 2015 and December 30, 2015, claims violations to the US federal securities laws. In addition, it argues that defendants have made material misrepresentations and made some omissions related to the IRSA’s investment in IDBD.
 
Subsequently, Cresud and IRSA requested that the complaint be moved to the district of New York, which request was later granted.
 
On December 8, 2016, the Court appointed the representatives of each presumed class as primary plaintiffs and the lead legal advisor for each of the classes. On February 13, 2017, the plaintiffs of both classes filed a document containing certain amendments. The Company and IRSA filed a petition requesting that the class action brought by IRSA’s shareholders should be dismissed. On April 12, 2017, the court suspended the class action filed by the Company’s shareholders until the Court decides on the petition of dismissal of such class action. Filing information on the motion to dismiss the collective remedy filed by shareholders of IRSA was completed on July 7, 2017.
 
 
F-87
 
 
 
On September 10, 2018, the New York Court issued an order granting the motion to dismiss the IRSA Case in its entirety.
 
On September 24, 2018, Plaintiff in the Cresud Case filed a document acknowledging that the Cresud Class Action complaint should be dismissed for the same reasons set forth in the Court’s September 10, 2018 order in the IRSA Case, subject to a right of appeal.
 
On October 9, 2018, the Plaintiff in the IRSA Case filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On December 12, 2018, Plaintiff in the Cresud Case filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, with prejudice. On December 13, 2018, Plaintiff moved to dismiss the appeal of the IRSA Case in the Second Circuit upon agreement with IRSA and Cresud that the parties shall bear their own costs and fees in the litigation, including the appeal, and that no fees are due. Accordingly, the Second Circuit dismissed Plaintiff’s appeal on December 18, 2018.
 
The IRSA and Cresud case are fully resolved without any penalty for the Group.
 
Claims against Cellcom and its subsidiaries
 
In the ordinary course of business, Cellcom receives various consumer complaints, mainly through collective actions. They allege excess collections, breach of agreements with customers and failure to comply with established norms or licenses, which could cause harm to consumers.
 
In addition, the Company receives other claims from employees, subcontractors, suppliers and authorities, generally in relation to non-compliance with the provisions of the law with respect to payments upon termination of employment relationships, breach of contracts, violation of copyright and patents or disputes for payments demanded by the authorities.
 
Claims against PBC
 
On July 4, 2017, PBC was served notice from the tax authority of Israel of income tax official assessments based on a “better assessment” of taxes for the years 2012-2015, and concluded that PBC is required to pay approximately NIS 187 (including interest) since compensation of losses is not admitted.
 
In the opinion of legal advisors to PBC, the Company has sound arguments against the Revenue Administration’s position and will file its objection to it. As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, there is no provision in relation to this claim.

On October 3, 2018 it was sent an action and a motion to approve that action as a class action (jointly – the "Motion"), which had been filed within the District Court of Tel Aviv Yafo (the "Court") against the Group; against Mr. Eduardo Elsztain, the controlling person of the Company (the "Controlling Person"), who serves as chairman of the Company's board of directors; against directors serving in the Group who have an interest in the Controlling Person; and against additional directors and officers serving in the Company (all jointly – the "Respondents"), in connection with the exit of the Company's share, on February 1, 2018, from the TA 90 and TA 125 indices, whereon it had been traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. up to that date (the "Indices"), by an applicant alleging to have held the Group's shares prior to February 1, 2018.
 
In the Motion, the Court is requested, inter alia, to approve the action as a class action and to charge the Respondents with compensating the members of the group according to the damage caused them. The estimated amount is approximately NIS 17.6 million.
 
The Company believes that it acted lawfully and as required in all that pertains to the subject of the Motion, and accordingly, after having preliminarily reviewed the Group's Motion, believes that it is unfounded.
 
IDBD class action
 
On October 3, 2018, an action and a motion to approve a class action had been filed with the District Court in Tel Aviv Yafo (jointly – the "Motion"). The Motion has been filed, against IDBD, against Dolphin IL, against Mr. Eduardo Elsztain and against the Official Receiver, and in it, the Court was requested to hold that the Transaction was not in compliance with the provisions of the Centralization Law, to appoint a trustee over DIC's shares owned by the respondents and to order the payment of monetary damages to the public shareholders in DIC for the alleged preservation of the pyramidal structure in IDBD, at a scope of between NIS 58 and NIS 73.

The bulk of the Applicant's allegations is that the Group continues to be the Controlling Person in DIC (potentially and effectively) even after the completion of the sale of DIC shares to DIL as described in Note 4 in the Annual Financial Statements (the “transaction”) and that the controlling person of IDBD (in his capacity as chairman of the Board of Directors and controlling person of DIC as well) had a personal interest separate from the personal interest of the minority shareholders in DIC, in the manner of implementation of the Centralization Law's provisions, and that he and the Group breached the duty of good faith and the duty of decency toward DIC, and additionally the controlling person of IDBD breached his duty of trust and duty of care toward DIC, this being, allegedly, due to the fact that the decision regarding the preferred alternative for complying with the Centralization Law's Provisions was not brought before DIC's general meeting. The Applicant further alleges deprivation of the minority shareholders in DIC.
 
Having preliminarily reviewed the Motion, the Management believes that it is unfounded and that once the transaction is consummated , IDBD complies with the provisions of the Concentration Law.

Income tax
 
The Group’s income tax has been calculated on the estimated taxable profit for each year at the rates prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions. The subsidiaries of the Group in the jurisdictions where the Group operates are required to calculate their income taxes on a separate basis; thus, they are not permitted to compensate subsidiaries’ losses against subsidiaries income.
 
Argentine tax reform
 
On December 27, 2017, the Argentine Congress approved the Tax Reform, through Law No. 27,430, which was enacted on December 29, 2017, and has introduced many changes to the income tax treatment applicable to financial income. The key components of the Tax Reform are as follows:
 
Dividends: Tax on dividends distributed by Argentine companies would be as follows: (i) dividends originated from profits obtained before fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 will not be subject to withholding tax; (ii) dividends derived from profits generated during fiscal years of the Company ending June 30, 2019 and 2020 paid to argentine individuals and/or foreign residents, will be subject to a 7% withholding tax; and (iii) dividends originated from profits obtained during fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 onward will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 13%.
 
Income tax: Corporate income tax would be gradually reduced to 30% for fiscal years commencing after January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, and to 25% for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2020, inclusive.
 
Presumptions of dividends: Certain facts will be presumed to constitute dividend payments, such as: i) withdrawals from shareholders, ii) shareholders private use of property of the company, iii) transactions with shareholders at values different from market values, iv) personal expenses from shareholders or shareholder remuneration without substance.
 
Revaluation of assets: The regulation establishes that, at the option of the companies, tax revaluation of assets is permitted for assets located in Argentina and affected to the generation of taxable profits. The special tax on the amount of the revaluation depends on the asset, being (i) 8% for real estate not classified as inventories, (ii) 15% for real estate classified as inventories, (iii) 5% for shares, quotas and equity interests owned by individuals and (iv) 10% for the rest of the assets. Once the option is exercised for a particular asset, all other assets in the same category must be revalued. The tax result that originates the revaluation is not subject to the income tax and the special tax on the revaluation amount will not be deductible from said tax. Through regulations (Decree 353/2018 and 613/2018, and General Resolution (AFP) 4287), the National Executive Power has been extending the date for the exercise of the option, based on the international context and the greater volatility that it is observed in the financial variables that affect the decision regarding the exercise of the option. The expiration of the term for the exercise of this option for companies with fiscal year end as of June 30, was July 31, 2019.
 
The Group has analyzed the impacts of the option mentioned above and has chosen for the application of the optional tax revaluation in some companies of the Group.

Tax inflation adjustment: Law 27,430 establishes the following rules for the application of the inflation adjustment in income tax: (i) the update of the cost for goods acquired or investments made in the fiscal years that begin as of January 1, 2018 (applicable to IRSA for the year end June 30, 2019), considering the percentage variations of the CPI provided by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC); and (ii) the application of the adjustment set forth in Title VI of the Income Tax Law when a percentage of variation -of the aforementioned index price - accumulated in thirty-six (36) months prior to the fiscal year end that is liquidated, is greater than 100%, or, with respect to the first, second and third year after its validity, this procedure will be applicable in case the accumulated variation of that index price, calculated from the beginning of the first of them and until the end of each year, exceeds 55%, 30% and 15% for the first, second and third year of application, respectively. At the end of this year, there has been an accumulative variation of 55.72% in the index price that exceeds the expected condition of 55% for the application of the adjustment in said first year. Consequently, the tax inflation adjustment has been applied and the cost of goods acquired during the year 2019 has been updated as established in article 58 of the Argentine Income Tax Law.
 
In addition, the argentine tax reform contemplates other amendments regarding the following matters: social security contributions, tax administrative procedures law, criminal tax law, tax on liquid fuels, and excise taxes, among others. As of the date of presentation of these Financial Statements, some aspects are pending regulation by the National Executive Power.
 
US tax reform
 
In December 2017, a bill was passed to reform the Federal Taxation Law in the United States. The reform included a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, for the tax years 2018 and thereafter. The reform has impact in certain subsidiaries of the Group in the United States.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefits through future taxable profits is probable. Tax loss carry-forwards may have expiration dates or may be permanently available for use by the Group depending on the tax jurisdiction where the tax loss carry forward is generated. Tax loss carry forwards in Argentina and Uruguay generally expire within 5 years, while in Israel they do not expire. Tax loss carry forward in Bolivia expire within 3 years. Tax loss carry forwards in Brazil do not expire. However, in Brazil, the taxable profit for each year can only be reduced by tax losses up to a maximum of 30%.
 
As of June 30, 2020, the Group's recognized tax loss carry forward prescribed as follows:

The Group assesses the realizability of deferred income tax assets, by considering whether it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In order to make this assessment, Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected business and tax planning strategies.
 
On this basis, it is estimated that as of June 30, 2020, all deferred tax assets and tax credits will be realized.
 
The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets (tax loss carry forwards) of Ps. 491,228 and Ps. 358,210 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Although management estimates that the business will generate sufficient income, pursuant to IAS 12, management has determined that, as a result of the recent loss history and the lack of verifiable and objective evidence due to the subsidiary’s results of operations history, there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to be able to offset losses within a reasonable timeframe, therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized in relation to these losses.
 
The Group did not recognize deferred income tax liabilities of Ps. 97 and Ps. 93 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to their investments in foreign subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In addition, the withholdings and/or similar taxes paid at source may be creditable against the Group’s potential final tax liability.
 
On June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Group recognized a deferred liability in the amount of Ps. 975 and Ps. 1,010, respectively, related to the potential future sale of one of its subsidiaries shares.
 
IDBD and DIC assess whether it is necessary to recognize deferred tax liabilities for the temporary differences arising in relation to its investments in subsidiaries; in this respect, IDBD, DIC and PBC estimate that if each of them is required to dispose of its respective holdings in subsidiaries, they would not be liable to income tax on the sale and, for such reason, they did not recognize the deferred tax liabilities related to this difference in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating leases
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Group enters into several operating lease agreements. Group conducts a portion of its agricultural activities on land rented from third parties under operating lease contracts averaging a harvest year. Rent expense for the years ended as of June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 amounted to Ps. 694, Ps. 290.2 and Ps. 478, respectively and is included in the line item "Costs" in the Statement of Income.
 
The Group is also using land in the Province of Salta under rights of use agreement (the "Anta Agreement") for which the Group is currently paying a rent fee of 10% of the production. Rent expense paid for the years ended as of June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 amounted to Ps. 111, Ps. 79 and Ps. 98, respectively and is included in the line item "Costs" in the Statement of Income.
 
The Group leases property or spaces for administrative or commercial use both in Argentina and in Israel, under operating leases. The agreements entered into include several clauses, including but not limited, to fixed, variable or adjustable payments. Some leases were agreed upon with related parties (Note 32). The amounts involved are not material for any of the periods filed.

Operating leases (Shopping malls, offices and other buildings)
 
In the segments Shopping malls and Offices and Others in the Operations Center in Argentina and in the segment Real Estate of the Operations Center in Israel, the Group enters into operating lease agreements typical in the business. Given the diversity of properties and lessees, and the various economic and regulatory jurisdictions where the Group operates, the agreements may adopt different forms, such as fixed, variable, adjustable leases, etc. For example, in the Operations Center in Argentina, operating lease agreements with lessees of Shopping malls generally include escalation clauses and contingent payments. In Israel, agreements tend to be agreed upon for fixed amounts, although in some cases they may include adjustment clauses. Income from leases are recorded in the Statement of Income under rental and service income in all of the filed periods.
 
Rental properties are considered to be investment property. Book value is included in Note 9. The future minimum proceeds generated from non-cancellable operating leases from Group’s Shopping malls, offices and other buildings are as follows:
 
 
  06.30.20 
  06.30.19

Operating leases (Farmlands)
 
From time to time, the Group leases certain farmlands. The leases have an average term of one crop year. Rental income is generally based on the market price of a particular crop multiplied by a fixed amount of tons per hectare leased or based on a fixed amount in dollars per hectare leased.
 
The future aggregate minimum lease proceeds under non-cancellable operating leases from the Group are as follows:

Earnings per share
 
(a)
Basic
 
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated in accordance with IAS 33, by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury shares.

(b)
Diluted
 
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. As of June 30, 2018, the Group holds treasury shares associated with incentive plans with potentially dilutive effect, therefore, diluted earnings per share is as follows:
 
 
  06.30.18 
Loss for the year from continuing operations attributable to equity holders of the parent
  2,460 
Profit for the year from discontinued operations attributable to equity holders of the parent
  4,113 
Profit for the year per share attributable to equity holders of the parent
  6,573 
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
  516 
Diluted earnings per share
  12.73 
 
Given that the results for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2017 showed losses, there is no diluted effect of said results.

Employee benefits and share-based payments
 
Incentive Plan
 
The Group has an equity incentive plan, created in September 30, 2011, which aims at certain selected employees, directors and top management of the Company, IRSA and IRSA CP (the “Participants”). Participation in the plan was voluntary and employees were invited to participate by the Board.
 
Under the Incentive Plan, entitle the Participants to receive shares ("Contributions") of the Company and IRSA, based on a percentage of their annual bonus for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, providing they remain as employees of the Company for at least five years, among other conditions, required to qualify such Contributions (except in case of disability or death, where there is no time limit). Contributions shall be held by the Company and IRSA, and as the conditions established by the Plan are verified, such contributions shall be transferred to the Participants only when the employees retire from the Company. In spite of this, the economic rights of the shares in the portfolio assigned to said participants will be received by them.
 
As of June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, a reserve has been set up under Shareholders’ equity as a result of this Incentive Plan for Ps. 55, Ps. 54 and Ps. 97, respectively, based on the market value of the shares to be granted pertaining to the Group’s contributions, proportionately to the period already elapsed for the vesting of shares in the Incentive Plan and adjusted for the probability that any beneficiary leaves the Group before the term and/or the conditions required to qualify for the benefits of said plan are met at each fiscal year-end.
 
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018, the Group has incurred a charge related to the Incentive Plan of Ps. 30 and total cost was recorded considering that the vesting period has elapsed.
 
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Group granted 0.48, 0.52 and 0.45 million shares, respectively, corresponding to the Participants’ Contributions.
 
Movements in the number of matching shares outstanding under the incentive plan corresponding to the Company´s contributions are as follows

The fair value determined at the time of granting the plan after obtaining all the corresponding authorizations was Ps. 25.3 per share of IRSA and Ps. 17.71 per share of Cresud. This fair value was estimated by taking into account the market price of the shares of the Company on said date.
 
Defined contribution plan
 
The Group operates a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) which covers certain selected managers from Argentina. The Plan was effective as from January 1, 2006. Participants can make pre-tax contributions to the Plan of up to 2.5% of their monthly salary (“Base Contributions”) and up to 15% of their annual bonus (“Extraordinary Contributions”). Under the Plan, the Group matches employee contributions to the plan at a rate of 200% for Base Contributions and 300% for Extraordinary Contributions.
 
All contributions are invested in funds administered outside of the Group. Participants or their assignees, as the case may be, will have access to the 100% of the Company contributions under the following circumstances:
 
 (i) ordinary retirement in accordance with applicable labor regulations;
(ii) total or permanent incapacity or disability;
(iii) death.
 
In case of resignation or termination without fair cause, the manager will receive the Group’s contribution only if he or she has participated in the Plan for at least 5 years.
 
Contributions made by the Group under the Plan amount to Ps. 55 and Ps. 65 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Employee long-term incentive - Brasilagro
 
On October 2, 2017, the Shareholders approved the creation of the Long Term Incentive Plan based on Shares (or "ILPA Plan"). By the terms of the ILPA Plan, participants will be entitled to receive a number of shares if they remain in the Company during certain period of time and comply with certain key performance indicators ("KPIs"). The terms of the ILPA Plan determine that the Board of Directors will have broad powers to implement the ILPA Plan and take all necessary measures for its implementation.
 
 
F-99
 
 
 
The shares to be granted under the ILPA Plan may not exceed at any time the maximum and cumulative amount of 2% of the shares issued by the Company.
 
The first award of incentives was approved by the Board of Directors on June 18, 2018, the date on which the First ILPA Program was approved and the beneficiaries, the number of shares to be delivered, the vesting period and the KPIs to be reached were defined.
 
The vesting period for the first ILPA Program is between October 2, 2017 and October 2, 2019 and the participants were selected among those who acted as company’s employees at the beginning of the vesting period considering their position in the company and its related remuneration as of that date.
 
Certain KPIs must be achieved for shares to be delivered to participants, in addition to remain in the Company until the end of the vesting period. One of the KPIs is to reach a certain percentage of valuation in the price of AGRO3 shares during the vesting period: If this percentage is not reached, the participants will not be entitled to receive any share. In the event that the KPI for the valuation of the shares is fulfilled, the number of shares to be delivered will vary in 3 ranges depending on the level of achievement of another 3 KPI, in addition to being adjusted by the dividends per share distributed during the vesting period, as well as an increase in a fixed amount if the value of the share is above the floor value.
 
The fair value of the benefit was estimated at Ps. 0.11. In the initial measurement of the fair value of the benefit, the price of the AGRO3 per share was considered on the date of granting and the probable quotation of the share price is projected at the end of the vesting period based on the past performance of the price per share in a period of 1 year and 4 months (compatible with the period between the granting in June 2018 and the end of the vesting period in October 2018). Considering the volatility of the AGRO3 share, the probability of the price per share at the end of the vesting period was determined to reach the value necessary to comply with the KPI.
 
To determine the number of shares and the amount of the remuneration expense, the Company determines for each year the estimated amount of shares to be delivered based on its best estimate of the amount of each of the 3 KPIs which do not depend on the price of the shares and the dividends to be paid in the same vesting period. The amount of the expense is adjusted based on said estimate and the effects recognized prospectively. The estimated expense is recognized as of the granting in June 2018 ratably during the vesting period between October 2, 2017 and October 2, 2019.
 
In the year ended June 30, 2020, compensation expenses and remuneration charges are Ps. 48.7 (Ps. 21.2 and Ps. 57.8 as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively) and the accumulated amount is Ps. 83.

In the normal course of business, the Group conducts transactions with different entities or parties related to it. All transactions are carried out in accordance with market parameters.
 
Remunerations of the Board of Directors
 
The Act N° 19,550 provides that the remuneration of the Board of Directors, where it is not set forth in the Company’s by-laws, shall be fixed by the Shareholders' Meetings. The maximum amount of remuneration that the members of the Board are allowed to receive, including salary and other performance-based remuneration of permanent technical-administrative functions, may not exceed 25% of the profits.
 
Such maximum amount will be limited to 5% where no dividends are distributed to the Shareholders, and will be increased proportionately to the distribution, until reaching such cap where the total of profits is distributed.
 
Some of the Group's Directors are hired under the Employment Contract Act N° 20,744. This Act rules on certain conditions of the work relationship, including remuneration, salary protection, working hours, vacations, paid leaves, minimum age requirements, workmen protection and forms of suspension and contract termination. The remuneration of directors for each fiscal year is based on the provisions established by the Act N° 19,550, taking into consideration whether such directors perform technical-administrative functions and depending upon the results recorded by the Company during the fiscal year. Once such amounts are determined, they should be approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Corporate Service Agreement with IRSA and IRSA CP
 
Considering that IRSA, Cresud and IRSA CP have operating overlapping areas, the Board of Directors considered it convenient to implement alternatives that allow reducing certain fixed costs of its activity, in order to reduce its impact on operating results, taking advantage of and optimizing the individual efficiencies of each of the companies in the different areas that make up the operational administration.
 
For this purpose, on June 30, 2004, a Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services (“Framework Agreement”) was signed, between IRSA, Cresud and IRSA CP, which was periodically modified, the last update being on June 28, 2019.

Under this agreement, the companies entrusted to an external consultant the semiannual review and evaluation of the criteria used in the process of liquidating corporate services, as well as the distribution bases and supporting documentation used in the aforementioned process, through the preparation of a semi-annual report.
 
It should be noted that the operation under comment allows Cresud, IRSA and IRSA CP to maintain absolute independence and confidentiality in their strategic and commercial decisions, being the allocation of costs and benefits made on the basis of operational efficiency and equity, without pursuing individual economic benefits for each of the companies.

The Company leased in January 2019 a farm in the Province of Córdoba owned by San Bernardo de Córdoba S.A. (formerly Isaac Elsztain e hijos S.C.A), continuing the lease held in August 2015, for a fraction of 12,590 hectares.
 
The lease was agreed for 12,590 hectares and the price was set at the amount of pesos equivalent to 2.5 kg of meat per hectare. The price of meat will be set taking into account the price per kilo of meat determined by the I.N.M.L (cattle index of the Liniers Market) reported on the website of said Market. Additionally, a production prize equivalent to 15% of the kilos produced in excess of 175,000 was agreed for the total of the existing property.
 
Consulting Agreement
 
In accordance with the terms of the Consulting Agreement, in force as from November 7, 1994, and its amendments, CAMSA provides us with advisory services on matters related to activities and investments included agricultural, real estate, financial and hotel operations, among others. An 85% of the capital stock of CAMSA is held by one of our shareholders and President of our Board of Directors, while the remaining 15% of the capital stock is owned by our First Vice President.
 
Based on the terms and conditions of the Consulting Agreement, CAMSA provides us with the following services:
 
● advise in relation to investing in all aspects of the agricultural business, real estate, financial, and hotel operations, among others, and business proposals;
● acts on behalf of our company in such transactions, negotiating prices, terms and conditions and other terms of each transaction; and
● provides advisory services on investments in securities related to such transactions.
 
As regards the Consulting Agreement, in consideration for its services we pay CAMSA an annual fee equal to 10% of our annual net income after tax. During fiscal year 2020, Ps. 238 was recognized in results for fee services. During fiscal year 2019, no charge was recognized. On January 10, 2019, the deferred fees for the 2012-2016 period and the accrued fees from 2017 to June 2018 corresponding to the management agreement signed with CAMSA for the total amount of Ps. 1,217 were paid. The payment was made approximately one third in cash, one third with shares of IRSA and one third with shares of IRSA CP, both owned by the Company.
 
The Consulting Agreement can be revoked by any of the parties upon prior written notice that should not exceed 60 days. If we revoke the Consulting Agreement without cause, we will be liable to pay CAMSA twice the average fee amounts paid for management services during the two fiscal years preceding such revocation.

Economic framework of the Group’s business
 
The Company does business in a complex framework due to the macroeconomic conditions, whose main variables have recently shown high volatility, and also due to regulatory, social and political conditions, both at a national and international level.
 
Its operating income may be affected by the fluctuations in the inflation rate and in the exchange rate at which the peso is converted into other currencies, mainly the US dollar, the variations in interest rates, which have an impact on the cost of capital, the changes in governmental policies, capital controls and other local and international political or economic events.
 
In December 2019, a new coronavirus strain (SARS-COV-2), causing a severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19), appeared in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response, countries have taken extraordinary actions intended to prevent the spread of the virus, including, travel bans, border shutdowns, closing of non-essential businesses, instructions to residents to practice social distancing and implementation of lockdowns, among others. The ongoing pandemic and these extraordinary governmental actions are affecting the worldwide economy and have rendered global financial markets highly volatile.
 
The first case of COVID-19 in Argentina was reported on March 3, 2020. As of September 21, 2020, more than 600,000 COVID-19 cases had been confirmed in Argentina. As a result, the Argentine Government implemented a series of health measures designed for the preventive and mandatory social isolation of the population nationwide that started on March 19, 2020 and was extended many times, most recently until October 11, 2020 (such extension may extend over time as long as the epidemiologic situation continues), which affected the domestic economy. Such measures are: the extension of the public health emergency situation, the total shutdown of the borders, the suspension of international and domestic flights and mid- and long-distance passenger land transportation, the suspension of artistic shows and sports events, the closing of non-essential businesses, including shopping malls and hotels.
 
These measures have significantly affected Argentine companies, which have faced drops in income and the deterioration of their flow of payments. In this context, the Argentine Government announced several actions intended to tackle the financial crisis of the companies adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the stagnation of the Argentine economy, there is an international crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In view of this scenario, a severe downturn in the Argentine economy is expected.
 
After several negotiations between the Argentine Government and the bondholders, the Argentine Government announced the execution of an agreement in principle with the main groups of bondholders in order to avoid the default. On August 28, 2020, the Government informed that the holders of 93.55% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all bonds have accepted a debt exchange and, on August 31, 2020, the Argentine Government obtained the consents required to exchange and/or amend 99.01% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all series of eligible bonds. As of the date of these financial statements, the new bonds are already being traded on the market.

However, the Government still faces the challenge of arriving at a successful renegotiation of the debt with the IMF. A favorable outcome for Argentina and the restructuring of its debt with the IMF would have a positive impact on the Argentine economy in the mid- and long-term. On the contrary, failure to reach an agreement with foreign private creditors might lead Argentina to default on its sovereign debt and, as a result, this situation may trigger restrictions on the companies’ ability to obtain new financing.
 
At a local level, the following circumstances may be noted:
 
●
In June 2020, the Estimador Mensual de Actividad Económica (“EMAE”) reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos or INDEC) recorded a (12.3)% variation compared to the same month in 2019 and a (7.4)% variation compared to the previous month.
●
The market expectations survey prepared by the Central Bank in July 2020 called Relevamiento de Expectativas de Mercado (“REM”) forecasts that the retail inflation rate for 2020 will be 39.5%. The REM analysts foresee a (12.5)% decrease in the real GDP for 2020. In turn, they foresee a recovery in the economy for 2021 that will grow up to 5.6%. The economy is expected to grow during the third quarter of 2020 as the effects of the pandemic are perceived as transitory and economic recovery is expected to start soon.
●
The year-over-year inflation rate as of June 30, 2020 was 42.8%.
●
From July 2019 to June 2020, the peso depreciated 66% compared to the US dollar at the average wholesale exchange rate quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina. In view of the foreign exchange restrictions in force since 2019, the gap between the official peso/US dollar exchange rate and the peso/US dollar exchange rate offered in the black market is almost 75%. This has an impact on the level of economic activity and detrimentally affects the reserves of the Argentine Central Bank. In addition, the current foreign exchange restrictions or those that may be imposed in the future may impair the Company’s ability to access the Sole Free FX Market (Mercado Único Libre de Cambio or MULC) to purchase the currency required to meet its financial obligations.
 
On September 15, 2020, the Argentine Central Bank issued Communication “A” 7106 which establishes, among other things, that entities with principal maturities falling due between October 15, 2020 and March 31, 2021 related to the issuance of foreign-currency denominated publicly-registered debt securities in Argentina by private sector clients or by the entities themselves, must submit to the Argentine Central Bank a refinancing plan based on the following criteria: (a) the net amount for which access to the foreign exchange is granted within the original terms must not exceed 40% of the principal amount due, and (b) the remaining principal amount must have been refinanced through new foreign debt with an average life of at least 2 years. Therefore, the Company is analyzing the impact of this provision in order to comply with the Central Bank’s requirements in due time and manner, if applicable.
 
Series I Non-convertible Notes having a par value of USD 181,518,707 and other bank debts shall become due on November 15, 2020.
 
COVID-19 Pandemic
 
As it arises from the ‘Economic framework of the Group’s business’ note, the COVID-19 pandemic is having an adverse impact on both the global and the Argentine economy and the Company’s business. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact nationwide on the business conducted by the Company, it is still too early to assess the total scope of its impact.
 
Below follows a description of the expected effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company as of the date of these financial statements:
 
Agricultural business
 
The agricultural business of Cresud and its subsidiaries in Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia continued to operate relatively normally; since the agricultural activity has been considered an essential activity in the countries where the Company operates. In any case, the effect of Covid-19 could cause changes in demand on a global scale and affect the prices of commodities in the international and local markets in the short term.

●
As a consequence of the preventive and mandatory social isolation, shopping malls across the country have been closed since March 20, 2020. Only those stores engaged in essential activities remain open such as pharmacies, supermarkets and banks whereas some food and clothing stores are offering delivery services and selling products on WhatsApp. In May and June, these measures were relaxed and certain activities were resumed in some marketplaces in the Argentine provinces such as Salta, Mendoza, Santa Fe and Córdoba. Actually, the shopping malls Alto Noa, Mendoza Plaza, Alto Rosario, La Ribera and Córdoba Shopping reopened under strict health and safety protocols providing for reduced shopping hours, social distancing and access controls. The shopping mall in Neuquén was reopened in July 2020 whereas the Distrito Arcos shopping mall, a premium open-air outlet in the City of Buenos Aires, was reopened early in August 2020. As of this date, 44% of the square meters of the Company’s Shopping Malls are open. Nevertheless, the uncertainty posed by this situation may cause the closing of stores that have already opened.
●
As a result of the shopping mall closings, the Company has decided to differ the invoicing and collection of the Monthly Guaranteed Amount (Valor Mensual Asegurado or V.M.A.) until September 30, 2020, with some exceptions, and not to collect the collective promotion fund during such period in an attempt to prioritize its long-term relationship with the lessees. Additionally, an increase in the delinquency rate of some lessees has been noticed. The ensuing impact on shopping malls has been a 30.5% decrease in income from rentals and services compared to the previous fiscal year and an 83% decrease compared to the last quarter of the previous fiscal year. Moreover, the allowance for bad debts is Ps. 328 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and Ps. 201 million for the last quarter of the fiscal year.
●
As regards the rental of offices, although most of the lessees are working remotely, they are open under strict health and safety protocols. As of this date, the Company has not experienced any collection difficulties.
●
La Rural, the Buenos Aires and Punta del Este Convention Centers and the DIRECTV Arena stadium, which are owned directly or indirectly by the Company, are also closed since March 20. All scheduled conferences have been suspended, most of the fairs and conventions were postponed, and most of the scheduled shows in the DIRECTV Arena stadium have been cancelled. The reopening date of these premises is uncertain as well as the future calendar of fairs, conventions and shows.
●
In order to reduce the risk of the virus spreading and protect public health, the Libertador hotels in the City of Buenos Aires and the Llao Llao hotel in the province of Río Negro are temporarily closed and it is still uncertain when they will reopen and go back to normal operations. As regards Hotel Intercontinental in the city of Buenos Aires, it is operating only under a contingency and emergency plan. The impact of all the above on these financial statements has been a 32% decrease in income compared to the previous fiscal year and a 100% decrease compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
 
Operation Center Israel
 
●
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the market valuation of IDBD, DIC and operating subsidiaries due to the sharp fall in prices. The mandatory shutdown lasted almost 10 days and was then relaxed under strict health and safety protocols. The effects on the operating businesses have been diverse:
 
o as regards supermarkets (Shufersal) and agriculture (Mahadrin), the impact has been positive in the short-term as these are considered essential activities;
o as concerns telecommunications (Cellcom), in particular the international roaming service, there has been a decrease in consumption keyed to a significant drop in international tourism. Cellcom has taken actions to reduce such negative effects by cutting back on expenses and investments during the coronavirus crisis period, including staff downsizing measures.
o In PBC, the activities and income from real estate transactions have been adversely affected by the economic situation and the bans on circulation. Consequently, PBC’s cash flow is expected to be somehow vulnerable although it is not possible to estimate as of this date to which extent PBC has made an assessment of its investment properties showing signs of impairment and, as a consequence, a reduction in the value of its properties of Ps. 3,218 has been accounted for.
 
As regards the Group’s financial debt:
 
●
IRSA must honor the following maturities within the next 12 months: Series II Non-convertible Notes, having a par value of US$ 71.4, due on July 20, 2020; Series II Non-convertible Notes, having a par value of CLP 31,502.6 (equivalent to US$ 41 approximately), due on August 6, 2020; Series I Non-convertible Notes, having a par value of US$ 181.5, due on November 15, 2020, Series III Non-convertible Notes, having a par value of Ps. 381 (equivalent to US$5), due on February 21, 2021, Series IV Non-convertible Notes, having a par value of US$ 51.3, due on May 21, 2021 and a bank debt in an amount equivalent to US$14.3.
 
●
Our subsidiary, IRSA CP, must honor the maturity of its Series IV Non-convertible Notes, having a par value of US$ 140, which will become due in September 2020 and a bank debt of US$ 23.
 
 
F-109
 
 
●
The short-term financial debts of our subsidiaries, IDBD-DIC, have a nominal value of US$ 202 (including non-convertible notes and borrowing from banks and financial entities). It should be noted that such commitments have no effects on IRSA because such indebtedness is without recourse against IRSA and is not guaranteed by IRSA’s assets as described in Note 1 to these interim consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
In May and July 2020, IRSA issued US$ 105.4 non-convertible notes in the local market intended to refinance its short-term debt. The proceeds of such issuances were used by the Company to repay its Non-convertible Notes due on July and August 2020.
 
The alternatives that the Company is considering to refinance the repayment of its Non-convertible Notes due in November 2020, February 2021 and June 2021 are a capital increase in an approximate amount of US$ 70 / US$ 100 resolved at the annual shareholders’ meeting held in October 30, 2019 and obtaining financing in the domestic or international capital markets through new issues of debt securities or liability management transactions in the range of US$ 40 and US$ 100, in addition to the transactions already conducted in May and July. In addition, IRSA has a long-standing relationship with banks of the local financial system that may supplement and diversify the Company’s sources of financing in addition to capital market financing. Moreover, as part of our strategy, the Company may sell a portion of its portfolio of assets (hotels and/or land reserves and offices through its subsidiary, IRSA CP) to generate additional funds.
 
Lastly, IRSA CP has granted IRSA a three-year credit facility up to US$ 180, of which US$ 53.4 were used by IRSA on June 30, 2020. IRSA may still use the remaining balance of such facility and receive dividends from such company in its capacity as controlling shareholder of 80.65% of its capital stock. It should be noted that IRSA CP’s cash and cash equivalents (including current financial investments) as of June 30, 2020 amount to US$ 155 and, following the fiscal year-end, it sold office assets worth US$ 128.6. Moreover, it is working on different financing alternatives in pesos with local banks (syndicated loans and/or bilateral loans) in estimated amounts equivalent to USD 50 and USD 100 to discharge its short-term obligations and it may eventually resort to debt transactions in the local capital market.
 
The final effects of the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on the country’s economy is unknown and cannot be reasonably foreseen. Nevertheless, although it has had significant effects in the short-run, it is not expected that they will affect the continuation of business. Although there are short-term economic impacts, it is foreseen that the Company will be able to continue meeting its financial commitments in the following twelve months.
 
The Company is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary actions to preserve human life and the Company’s businesses.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
 (Amounts in millions, except otherwise indicated)
 
 
1.
The Group’s business and general information
 
Cresud 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, 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 direct principal subsidiary.
 
Cresud and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Group.
 
Main shareholders of the Company are jointly Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. and Agroinvestment S.A. Both entities are companies incorporated in Uruguay and belong to the same controlling group and ultimate beneficiary.
 
The Board of Directors has approved these Financial Statements for issuance on November 19, 2020.
 
As of September 30, 2020, the Group operates in two major lines of business: (i) agricultural business and (ii) urban properties and investments business, which is divided into two operations centers: (a) Operations Center in Argentina and (b) Operations Center in Israel, and as explained below, the Group has lost control of the Israel Operations Center and it has been deconsolidated as of September 30, 2020. They are developed through several operating companies and the main ones are listed below:
 
(i)
See Note 4 to the Annual Financial Statements for more information about the Operations Center in Israel.
 
Operations Center in Israel
 
As stated in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020, on September 25, 2020 the Court decreed the insolvency and liquidation of IDBD and appointed a trustee for its shares along with a custodian over DIC and Clal shares. After this decision, the Board of Directors of IDBD was removed from its functions, therefore, the Group lost control as of that date. For comparability purposes, the results of the Israel Operations Center for the three-month periods ended September 30 have been reclassified to discontinued operations.
2.
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
2.1.
Basis of preparation
 
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim financial reporting” and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group's annual Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2020 prepared in accordance with IFRS. Also, these financial statements include additional information required by Law No. 19,550 and / or regulations of the CNV. Such information is included in the notes to these financial statements, as accepted by IFRS.
 
These financial statements for the interim periods of three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 have not been audited. Management considers that they include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period. Intermediate period results do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group's results for the entire fiscal years.
 
IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. To do so, in general terms, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be calculated by non-monetary items. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the financial statements.
 
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as highly inflationary in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of an accumulated inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceed 100%. Accumulated inflation in Argentina in three years is over 100%. For that reason, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentina must be considered a country with a highly inflationary economy starting July 1, 2018.
 
In relation to the inflation index to be used and in accordance with FACPCE Resolution No. 539/18, it is determined based on the Wholesale Price Index (IPIM) until 2016, considering the average variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires for the months of November and December 2015, because during those two months there were no national IPIM measurements. Then, from January 2017, the National Consumer Price Index (National CPI) is considered. The table below presents the index for the period ended September 30, 2020, according to official statistics (INDEC) and following the guidelines described in Resolution 539/18.
 
 
 
As of September 30, 2020 (accumulated nine months)
 
Price variation
  8%
 
As a consequence of the aforementioned, these financial statements as of September 30, 2020 were restated in accordance with IAS 29.
 
2.2
Accounting policies
 
The accounting policies applied in the presentation of these Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements, as described in Note 2 to those Financial Statements.
 
As described in Note 2.2 to the annual financial statements, the Group has adopted IFRS 16: “Leases” and Amendment to IAS 28 “Investment in associates and joint ventures” in the current year, applying the cumulative effect approach, therefore, accumulated impact was recognized in retained earnings as of July 1, 2019. Comparative figures were not restated.
 
 
2.3
Comparability of information
 
Balance items as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 presented in these Financial Statements for comparative purposes arise from the financial statements as of and for such period, restated in accordance with IAS 29 (See Note 2.1).Certain items from prior periods have been reclassified for consistency purposes regarding the loss of control in IDBD. See Note 1 to these Financial Statements.

2.4
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of Financial Statements at a certain date requires 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 financial statements. In the preparation of these financial statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same as the ones applied by the Group in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements described in Note 3 to those Financial Statements, except for those mentioned in Note 34.
 
 
3.
Seasonal effects on operations
 
Agricultural business
 
Some of the Group’s businesses are more affected by seasonal effects than others. The operations of the Group’s agricultural business are subject to seasonal effects. The harvests and sale of grains in Argentina generally take place each year since March in the case of corn and soybean, since October in the case of wheat, and since December in the case of sunflower. In Brazil, the harvest and sale of soybean take place since February, and in the case of corn weather conditions make it possible to have two seasons, therefore the harvest take place between March and July. In Bolivia, weather conditions also make it possible to have two soybean, corn and sorghum seasons and, therefore, these crops are harvested in July and May, whereas wheat is harvested in August and September, respectively. In the case of sugarcane, harvest and sale take place between April and November of each year. Other segments of the agricultural business, such as beef cattle production tend to be more stable. However, beef cattle production is generally larger during the second quarter, when conditions are more favorable. As a result, there may be material fluctuations in the agricultural business results across quarters.
 
Urban properties and investments business
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
The operations of the Group’s shopping malls are subject to seasonal effects, which affect the level of sales recorded by lessees. During summertime in Argentina (January and February), the lessees of shopping malls experience the lowest sales levels in comparison with the winter holidays (July) and Christmas and year-end holidays celebrated in 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 malls sales. Sale discounts at the end of each season also affect the business. As a consequence, for shopping mall operations, a higher level of business activity is expected in the period ranging between July and December, compared to the period between January and June.
 
 
4.
Acquisitions and disposals
 
Significant acquisitions and disposals for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 are detailed below. Significant acquisitions and disposals for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, are detailed in Note 4 to the Annual Financial Statements.
 
Agricultural business
 
Sale of Bananal Farm
 
BrasilAgro concluded the sale of 2,160 hectares (1,714 useful hectares) of Bananal Farm (Magalhães municipality - BA).

The previous conditions recognized in the purchase agreement were fully met on July 31, 2020 after receipt of R$ 5.5 (equivalent to Ps. 85). The face value of the sale is R$ 28 (equivalent to Ps. 396), of which the Company has already received R$ 7.5 (equivalent to Ps. 113). For this operation, the company will not recognize results since the asset was recorded at its fair value.

(i) For the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, the net gain from fair value adjustment of investment properties was Ps. 24,467. The net impact of the values in pesos of our properties was mainly a consequence of the change in macroeconomic conditions:
 
(a) gain of Ps.19,713.7 as a consequence of an increase in the projected inflation rate plus GDP, with the resulting increase in the cash flows from shopping malls revenues;
(b) loss of Ps.22,963.3 due to the conversion to dollars of the projected cash flow in pesos according to the exchange rate estimates used in the cash flow;
(c) an increase of 72 basis points in the discount rate, mainly due to an increase in the country-risk rate component of the WACC discount rate used to discount the cash flow, which led to a decrease in the value of the shopping malls of Ps.2,244.
(d) positive impact of Ps. 14,539.7 resulting from the conversion into pesos of the value of the shopping malls in dollars based on the exchange rate at the end of the period;
(e) Additionally, due to the impact of the inflation adjustment, Ps. 12,160.3 were reclassified for shopping malls from “Net gain from fair value adjustment” to “Inflation Adjustment” in the Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities at their amortized cost does not differ significantly from their book value, except for borrowings (Note 20). The fair value of payables approximates their respective carrying amounts because, due to their short-term nature, the effect of discounting is not considered significant. Fair values are based on discounted cash flows (Level 3).
 
The valuation models used by the Group for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments are no different from those used as of June 30, 2020, except for what is mentioned in Note 34.
 
As of September 30, 2020, there have been no changes to the economic or business circumstances affecting the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Group.

Other relevant events of the period
 
Economic context in which the company operates
 
The Company does business in a complex framework due to the macroeconomic conditions, whose main variables have recently shown high volatility, and also due to regulatory, social and political conditions, both at a national and international level.
 
Its operating income may be affected by fluctuations in the inflation index and the argentine peso exchange rate against other currencies, mainly the dollar, variations in interest rates which have an impact on the cost of capital, changes in government policies, capital control and other political or economic developments both locally and internationally.
 
In December 2019, a new coronavirus strain (SARS-COV-2), causing a severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19), appeared in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response, countries have taken extraordinary actions intended to prevent the spread of the virus, including, travel bans, border shutdowns, closing of non-essential businesses, instructions to residents to practice social distancing and implementation of lockdowns, among others. The ongoing pandemic and these extraordinary governmental actions are affecting the worldwide economy and have rendered global financial markets highly volatile.
 
The first case of COVID-19 in Argentina was reported on March 3, 2020 and until November 8, 2020, more than 1,200,000 cases of infections had been confirmed in Argentina. As a result, the Argentine the National Government implemented a series of health measures of social, preventive and mandatory isolation at the national level that began on March 19, 2020 and extended several times, most recently until November 8, 2020 inclusive in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires although it has been extended in some cities in the interior of the country. Among this measures, that affected the local economy, the following stand out: the extension of the public emergency in health matters, the total closure of borders, the suspension of international and domestic flights, the suspension of medium and long-distance land transport, the suspension of artistic and sports shows, closure of businesses not considered essential, including shopping malls and hotels.

These measures have significantly affected Argentine companies, which have faced drops in income and the deterioration of their flow of payments. In this context, the Argentine Government announced several actions intended to tackle the financial crisis of the companies adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the stagnation of the Argentine economy, there is an international crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In view of this scenario, a severe downturn in the Argentine economy is expected.
 
After several negotiations between the Argentine Government and the bondholders, the Argentine Government announced the execution of an agreement in principle with the main groups of bondholders in order to avoid the default. On August 28, 2020, the Government informed that the holders of 93.55% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all bonds have accepted a debt exchange and, on August 31, 2020, the Argentine Government obtained the consents required to exchange and/or amend 99.01% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all series of eligible bonds. As of the date of these financial statements, the new bonds are already being traded on the market.
 
However, the Government still faces the challenge of arriving at a successful renegotiation of the debt with the IMF. A favorable outcome for Argentina and the restructuring of its debt with the IMF would have a positive impact on the Argentine economy in the mid- and long-term. On the contrary, failure to reach an agreement with foreign private creditors might lead Argentina to default on its sovereign debt and, as a result, this situation may trigger restrictions on the companies’ ability to obtain new financing.
 
At the local environment, the following circumstances may be noted:
 
● 
In August 2020, an indicador called “Monthly Estimator of Economic Activity” (“EMAE”) reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (“INDEC”), registered a variation of (11.6%) compared to the same month of 2019, and from 1,1% compared to the previous month.
 
● 
The market expectations survey prepared by Central Bank in October 2020, called the Market Expectations Survey (“REM” in Spanish), estimates a retail inflation of 35.8% for 2020. The analysts who confirm the REM forecast a variation in real GDP for 2020 of (11.6)%. In turn, they foresee that in 2021 economic activity will rebound in activity, reaching an economic growth of 4.5%.
 
● 
The interannual inflation as of September 30, 2020 reached 36.6%.
 
● 
In the period from September 2019 to September 2020, the argentine peso depreciated 32.3% compared to the US dollar at the average wholesale exchange rate quoted byBanco de la Nación Argentina. Given the exchange restrictions in force since August 2019, as of September 30, 2020 the exchange gap between the official peso/US dollar exchange rate and the peso/US dollar exchange rate offered in the black market is almost 82%. This has an impact on the level of economic activity and detrimentally affects the reserves of the of the Argentine Central Bank. In addition, the current foreign exchange restrictions or those that may be imposed in the future may impair the Company’s ability to access the Sole Free FX Market (Mercado Único Libre de Cambio or MULC) to purchase the currency required to meet its financial obligations.
 
On September 15, 2020, the Argentine Central Bank issued Communication “A” 7106 which establishes, among other things, that entities with principal maturities falling due between October 15, 2020 and March 31, 2021 related to the issuance of foreign-currency denominated publicly-registered debt securities in Argentina by private sector clients or by the entities themselves, must submit to the Argentine Central Bank a refinancing plan based on the following criteria: (a) the net amount for which access to the foreign exchange is granted within the original terms must not exceed 40% of the principal amount due, and (b) the remaining principal amount must have been refinanced through new foreign debt with an average life of at least 2 years. It is worth mentioning that for the maturities to be registered from the effective date of the communication (September 16, 2020) and until 12.31.2020, the refinancing plan must be submitted prior to 09.30.2020; and the submission deadline for the remaining maturities -between January 1, 2021 and March 31, 2021, must be submitted with a term of at least 30 calendar days before the maturity of the capital to be refinanced.
 
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
 
As described in the note on the economic context in which the Group operates, the COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting both the global economy and the Argentine economy and the Group's business.
 
The current estimated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company as of the date of these financial statements are set out below:
 
The agricultural business of Cresud and its subsidiaries in Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia continued to operate relatively normally; since the agricultural activity has been considered an essential activity in the countries where the Company operates. In any case, the effect of Covid-19 could cause changes in demand on a global scale and affect the prices of commodities in the international and local markets in the short term.

Because of the social, preventive and obligatory lockdown, shopping malls throughout the country were closed since March 20, 2020, exclusively remaining operational those stores dedicated to activities considered essential such as pharmacies, supermarkets and banks. The reopening of shopping malls in the interior of the country began during the months of May, June, and July. In August 2020, the Arcos District, an open-air premium outlet in the city of Buenos Aires, was opened and in October 2020, the Group’s shopping malls opened in the City and Greater Buenos Aires. As of October 31, 2020, all the Group’s shopping malls were open operating under strict protocols. However, the uncertainty of the situation could cause setbacks in the openings already made, as happened in some shopping malls in the interior of the country in previous months due to the increase in cases in those regions.
 
●
Given the closure of the shopping malls, the Group has decided to condone the billing and collection of the Insured Monthly Value until September 30, 2020, with some exceptions and to subsidize the collective promotion fund during the same period, prioritizing the long-term relationship with its tenants. Additionally, an increase in the delinquency rates of some tenants has been detected. As a result of the above, the impact on shopping malls is a 82.4% decrease in rental and service income during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to the same period of last fiscal year, and a 12.6% increase compared to the immediately preceding quarter. Additionally, the charge for bad debts in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 is ARS 40 million and ARS 37 million in the same period of previous fiscal year.
 
●
In relation to the offices business, although most of the tenants are working in the home office mode, they are operational with strict safety and hygiene protocols. To date, we have not evidenced a deterioration in collections.
 
●
La Rural, the Buenos Aires and Punta del Este Convention Centers and the DIRECTV Arena stadium, establishments that the Group owns directly or indirectly, have also been closed since March 20. All planned congresses were suspended, most of the fairs and conventions have been postponed, while the shows scheduled at the DIRECTV Arena stadium were mostly cancelled. The reopening date of these establishments is uncertain, as well as the future agenda of fairs, conventions and shows.
 
●
The Libertador hotel in the City of Buenos Aires and Llao Llao in the province of Río Negro have temporarily closed since the mandatory lockdown decreed in March 2020, while the Intercontinental Hotel in the City of Buenos Aires has worked only under a contingency and emergency plan. As a result of the above, the impact on these financial statements is a 99% decrease in revenues compared to same period of previous fiscal year After the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2021, on November 16, the Llao Llao Hotel opened its doors operating under strict protocols. It is expected that the hotels in the city of Buenos Aires will gradually begin to restart their activity in the coming months.
 
Regarding the Group's debt maturities during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, IRSA, in the month of May and July 2020, has issued Notes in the local market for the approximate sum of USD 105.4 million. With those proceeds, IRSA canceled its Notes maturing in July and August 2020. Regarding IRSA CP, it has cancelled its Series IV Notes on September 14.
 
After the end of the quarter, in November 2020, the Group had Notes maturities within the period contemplated by provision “A” 7106 of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic mentioned above. Namely, Cresud Series XXIV for a nominal value of USD 73.6 million with maturity on November 14, 2020 and IRSA Series I for a nominal value of USD 181.5 million with maturity on November 15, 2020, as well as other debts banking.

The final extent of the Coronavirus outbreak and its impact on the country's economy is unknown and difficult to fully predict. However, although it has produced significant short-term effects, they are not expected to affect business continuity and the Company’s ability to meet financial commitments for the next twelve months.
 
The Company is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures to preserve human life and the Group's businesses.
