Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002

 

NOTE 1:   ARGENTINE ECONOMIC CONTEXT

 

Argentina’s current economic situation is highly sensitive, its main indicators being high levels of external indebtedness, a financial system in critical conditions and an economic recession that mainly until the end of 2002 brought about a major fall in the demand for goods and services and a significant increase in unemployment.

 

In response to the economic crisis, starting in December 2001, the Government adopted several measures and enacted laws, decrees and regulations that dramatically changed the economic model in force until that time. These changes included the flotation of the exchange rate, which led to a significant devaluation of the Argentine Peso in the first months of 2002, and the re-denomination into Pesos of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and held in Argentina.

 

During 2002 in particular, this situation led to a significant and disparate increase in the various economic indicators, such as the exchange rate, the wholesale domestic price index (used to restate the financial statements for the previous period) and specific indexes for the goods and services related to the Company’s business. These events have affected the comparability of the financial statements, which should be interpreted in the light of those circumstances.

 

Impact on the Company’s economic condition

 

Following the devaluation of the Argentine Peso and the increase in the profitability of the agricultural-livestock business, the demand for land has begun to increase, leading to a considerable rise in US Dollar prices, which are now at levels comparable to those prior to the Argentine crisis. Given this scenario, the Company’s Board of Directors will be in a position to identify and take advantage of market opportunities for purchases and sales of land.

 

In addition, by fiscal period end IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A., in which we hold an interest, had overcome the crisis that had caused uncertainties in its course of business as of September 30, 2002. At present, this subsidiary has a liquidity position that will allow it to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise in the real estate market.

 

NOTE 2:   BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As a consequence of the application of General Resolutions No. 368/01, 434/03 and 441/03 of the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission, which require that consolidated Financial Statements be presented as established by Technical Resolution No. 4 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, as amended by Technical Resolution No. 19, the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2003 and 2002 and the Income Statements and the Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal periods then ended were consolidated on a line by line basis with the financial statements of such companies in which it holds a majority of the voting shares, by application of the new rules and discontinuation of adjustment for inflation, respectively (see Note 1 .b and 1 .c to the unaudited basic financial statements).

NOTE 2:   (Continued)

 

The Financial Statements of the Subsidiary Companies Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. and Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A. as of September 30, 2003 and 2002 have been used to determine the proportional equity value and carry out the consolidation. For purposes of comparability, reclassifications have been made on the information at September 30, 2002.

 

These Financial Statements and the corresponding notes and schedules are prepared in Argentine Pesos.

 

NOTE 3:   CORPORATE CONTROL

 

The Company’s interest in other companies is shown in the following table.

Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A.

   70.00

 

NOTE 4:   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Financial Statements of the Subsidiary Companies mentioned in Note 3 have been prepared based on accounting principles consistent with those followed by Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria for the preparation of its Financial Statements, as detailed in Note 2 of the unaudited basic financial statements.

 

The most significant valuation criteria used for the preparation of the Financial Statements of the Subsidiary Companies not detailed in the valuation criteria of the Parent Company were as follows:

 

Intangible Assets - Development expenditures

 

These expenses include organizational and development costs of the web page incurred until March 31, 2001. These expenses were restated to period-end currency and were depreciated by the straight line method over thirty-six months as from April 1, 2001. For being less than five periods, this depreciation term qualifies under the second option of the transitional rules provided in section 8.2.3. of Technical Resolution No. 17.

Notes to the Unaudited Finantial Statements

For the periods ended on September 30, 2003 and 2002

 

NOTE 1:   PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN CONSTANT PESOS

 

  a. Presentation standards

 

These financial statements are stated in Argentine pesos, and have been prepared in accordance with the disclosure and valuation accounting standards contained in the Technical Resolutions issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, as approved, with certain amendments, by the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires and the Argentine Securities Commission.

 

  b. Accounting for inflation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Resolution M.D. 3/02 of the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires, which has established the application of Technical Resolution No. 6, as amended by Technical Resolution No. 19 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, as from fiscal years or interim periods ended on or after March 31, 2002.

 

On March 25, 2003, the National Executive Branch issued Decree No. 664 establishing that financial statements for fiscal periods ended as from that date should be stated in nominal currency. Therefore, in accordance with Resolution No. 441 issued by the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2003, the Company discontinued restatement of its financial statements effective March 1, 2003. This criterion is not in compliance with the professional accounting standards in force. However, as of September 30, 2003, this deviation did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

As a consequence of the above, the Company’s financial statements are presented in constant currency as of February 28, 2003, having considered the accounting measurements restated by the changes in the purchasing power of the currency until interruption of the adjustment and those arising in the period of stability, restated into currency of December 2001.

 

The coefficients prepared based on the domestic wholesale price index have been applied for purposes of the abovementioned restatement.

 

Amounts corresponding to the year ended on June 30, 2003 are exposed only for comparative effect in the Balance Sheet.

 

Amounts corresponding to the period ended on September 30, 2002 have been restated at February 28, 2003 for purposes of presentation on a comparative basis.

 

In the income statement for this fiscal period, the result from exposure to changes in the currency’s purchasing power and the financial results are both included in “Financial Results”.

  c. New Accounting Standards

 

The Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires enacted the following technical resolutions: N° 16: “Conceptual regime for professional accounting regulations”; N° 17: “Professional accounting regulations: development of matters of general application”, N° 18: “Professional accounting regulations: development of some matters of particular application” and N° 19 “ Modifications to technical resolutions N° 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 14 and 20 “Derivative instruments and hedging transactions”, through Resolutions C 238/01, C 243/01,C 261/01, C 262/01 and C 187/02, respectively; establishing that such technical resolutions and the modifications incorporated, will be in force for fiscal years initiated as from July 1, 2002 (other than Technical Resolution No. 20, which shall become effective for fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2003).

 

The Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission, through Resolution N° 434/03 has adopted such technical resolutions with some exceptions and modifications, which will be in force for fiscal years initiated as from January 1, 2003.

 

The main modifications included by the above mentioned technical resolutions, which would imply significant adjustments on the company’s accounting statements. The main changes basically result from the registration of income tax under the deferred tax method, as concerns agreements involving derivative instruments and the valuation of receivables and payables with no stated rate at their current value.

 

In addition, there are certain transitional rules that allow, and sometimes require, to apply prospectively the valuation and disclosure criteria introduced by the new accounting regulations, thus affecting comparability of the financial statements. The following table contains changes in comparative Financial Statements:

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The principal valuation and disclosure criteria for the preparation of the financial statements, applied on a basis consistent with respect to the last fiscal period, except as stated in note 1.c., which explains the changes in rules and adjustments of results of previous fiscal periods.

 

  a. Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods Estimates are used when accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and contingencies and assets’ recoverable value. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  b. Local currency assets and liabilities

 

The local currency assets and liabilities are stated at period-end nominal currency.

  d. Temporary investments

 

Mutual funds and notes and convertible bonds are carried at market value as of period-end. Temporary investments do not exceed their recoverable value estimated at fiscal period-end.

 

  e. Trade accounts receivable and payable

  f. Credits and loans

 

Credits and loans have been valued in accordance with the sum of money delivered and received, respectively, net of transaction costs, plus financial results accrued on the basis of the rate estimated at such time as of period-end.

NOTE 2:   (Continued)

 

At March 31, 2002, our investment in IRSA was valued by the equity method of accounting as a result of a change of strategy according to which those shares are carried as a long-term investment. This decision was made as a result of the impact of the recent economic measures on the financial markets, which modified the original budget with respect to these types of investments.

 

Current valuations and economic conditions reduce the risks inherent to long-term investment opportunities and increase the possibility of obtaining significant return in the long term. In view of these circumstances: (i) the value of the investment was set at market value; (ii) the value of the investment was calculated by the equity method of accounting; and (iii) the difference between (i) and (ii) was recognized as negative goodwill to be amortized over 20 years.

 

  2. Other Investments

 

  Investments in debt securities

 

IRSA’s Convertible Bonds were valued taking into account the amount existing at period-end in dollars, at the sellers’ exchange rate plus interest accrued as of the closing date of these financial statements.

 

  Other investments

 

The remaining investments correspond to non-listed securities, which were valued at their restated cost, see Note 1.b.

 

  Goodwill

 

The goodwill relating to the purchase of the subsidiary Futuros y Opciones.Com S.A. has been valued at its restated cost, calculated as the difference between the price paid for such investment and its equity value calculated at the time of purchase, restated into period-end currency by applying the coefficients mentioned in Note 1.b.

 

Depreciation is calculated in accordance with the estimated useful life, which is 5 years and has been classified under Result from interest in subsidiaries and related companies in the statement of income.

 

  l. Fixed assets

 

  Purchase value:

 

Valued at cost restated into period-end currency applying the coefficients mentioned in Note 1 b., based on the corresponding dates of origin.

 

  Depreciation

 

Calculated by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as from the period of addition.

NOTE 2:   (Continued)

 

  The carrying value

 

The carrying value of fixed assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at the end of the period.

 

  m. Shareholders’ equity

 

Initial balances and changes during the period have been restated into period-end currency following the criteria set forth in Note 1.b.

 

  n. Results for the period

 

The results for the period are disclosed in the paid cost.

 

The statement of income shows the financial results generated by assets and liabilities. Note 8.k. includes a breakdown of this information.

 

Financial results were segregated into results generated by assets and those generated by liabilities in the notes to the unaudited financial statements.

 

  o. Income Tax

 

The Company has recognized the income tax liability on the basis of the deferred tax liability method, thus considering temporary differences between registration of assets and liabilities for accounting and tax purposes. The principal temporary differences originate in the valuation of livestock and the sale and replacement of fixed assets.

 

In order to determine deferred assets and liabilities the tax rate expected to be in effect at the temporary of reversal or use has been applied on the temporary differences identified and tax loss carryforwards, considering the laws enacted as of the date of issuance of these financial statements (35%).

 

  p. Tax on minimum hypothetical income

 

The Company determines the tax on minimum hypothetical income applying the prevailing rate of 1% on computable assets at fiscal period-end. This tax is supplementary to the income tax. The Company’s tax liability for each period will be the higher of these two taxes. However, if the tax on minimum hypothetical income exceeds the income tax in any fiscal year, such excess may be computed as payment on account of the income tax that may be payable in any of the following ten fiscal years.

 

  q. Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized on sales of products when the customer receives title to the goods, generally upon delivery.

The remaining third was set aside for allotment by the Company’s Board of Directors among any employees or executives at the time of allotment and 6 (six) months after the initial allotment, and up to 3 (three) months before the expiration of the exercise period.

 

In January 2002 an aggregate of 2,353 shares of Ps. 1 par value each were issued under the preferred offering of treasury stock.

UNAUDITED BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

 

Pursuant to Argentine Securities Commission’s regulations as from February 28, 2003 adjustments due to inflation on Financial Statements of public corporations have been discontinued. Consequently, the effects of inflation on Financial Statements ended on September 30, 2003 were not included. Furthermore, amounts corresponding to the period ended on September 30, 2002 have been re stated for comparative purposes, using a 0.9933 rate, which reflects a 0.67% wholesale deflation between September 2002 and February 2003.

 

Results for the first quarter of fiscal Year 2004 showed a net loss of Ps. 2.0 million as compared to a Ps. 9.1 million profit registered during the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

The decrease in the net result is a consequence of the lesser amount of crops sold, the lower revaluation of cattle compared to the previous year and the net loss derived from our share in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A

 

The operating result showed for the three month period ended on September 30, 2003 a Ps. 1.6 million profit, compared to a Ps. 10.8 million profit registered during the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

Consolidated net sales for the period amounted to Ps. 12.2 million, 44% lower than those registered during the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the lesser volume of crops sold during the quarter.

 

Gross profit during the first three months of FY 2004 amounted to Ps. 2.1 million as compared to Ps. 5.2 million registered during the same period of the previous year. The main cause of this reduction was the lower gross profit obtained in the crop segment.

 

Results from related companies showed a Ps. 2.8 million loss, mainly due to our 23% ownership share in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.

Summary of operations

 

Crops

 

During the quarter, the harvest corresponding to the previous season was completed reaching a total production of 72,803 tons, of which 41 % corresponded to corn, 34% to soybean, 13% to wheat, 4% to sunflower and the rest to other crops.

 

Crop sales for the quarter amounted to Ps. 5.6 million as compared to Ps. 16.8 million registered during the previous year. The volume of crops sold reached 12,202 tons at an average price of Ps. 383 per ton as compared to 37,268 tons sold at an average price of Ps. 439 per ton during the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

 

Our crop stock at the closing of the quarter amounted to 15,317 tons of which 2,542 tons correspond to soybean and 12,734 to corn.

 

Gross profit corresponding to this segment for the quarter ended on September 30, 2003 amounted to Ps. 1.1 million as compared to a Ps. 3.4 million profit registered during the same period of the previous fiscal year.

 

Forecasts for the price of crops are promising, the low world stocks and cuts to US and European production estimates. The price of soybean will be determined according to the advance of the US and Latin American harvests.

 

For the current season we have destined 21,706 hectares to agriculture, of which 8,489 hectares were leased to third parties. The total area destined to agriculture decreased 1,932 hectares, as compared to the previous year, due to the lesser land leased to third parties.

 

Considering the rise in the price of leased land, we adopted a cautious decision not accepting such rise and only leasing land at prices which would allow us to acquire appropriate margins, and not speculating with the price that commodities could reach in the future.

 

Most of the land leases were agreed at a fixed price prior to harvest and only a small percentage was leased under crop sharing agreements.

 

Cattle Beef

 

As of September 30, 2003, the Company’s cattle stock amounted to 83,767 heads with 126,100 hectares destined to this activity.

 

Livestock sales increased 32 % from Ps. 4.2 million as of September 30, 2002 to Ps. 5.5 million as of September 30, 2003. During the quarter a total of 3,048 tons were sold at an average price of Ps. 1.80 per kilogram, while during the first three months of fiscal year 2002 the tons sold amounted to 2,147 with an average price of Ps. 1.52 per kilogram.

 


Cresud Sociedad Anónima

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

 

UNAUDITED BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS (continued)

 

Gross profit for the cattle beef segment amounted to Ps. 0.9 million, as compared to Ps. 1.8 million registered during the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. This decrease in the profit was a consequence of the cattle finished in our Feed Lot where costs were higher, though generating an increase in the production due to the higher cattle rotation and the shorter fattening period.

 

Cattle beef production amounted 2,069 tons, representing a 4.6% increase compared to the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in the average cattle stock.

 

LOGO

 

Milk

 

Milk production increased 6.5% during the quarter from 1.7 million liters as of September 30, 2002 to 1.8 million liters as of September 30, 2003.

 

Gross profit as of September 30, 2003, increased to Ps. 0.3 million, 25% higher than the profit obtained during the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

 

Currently the Company’s only dairy farm is located at La Juanita, where the feeding system is based solely on pastures. This feeding system, of lower cost, allows an enhancement of milk margins as compared to systems based on grains.

 

The milk business in Argentina went through severe oscillations during the curse of time, from the euphoria of 1997 and 1998 to the 2001 crisis. Actually, with firm prices, this segment is once again attractive.

 

Clearing and development of marginal land

 

We believe that the business’s potential, as has happened in various countries, relies on the development of marginal land; using state of the art technology, yields comparable to those of the nucleus area can be obtained.

 


Cresud Sociedad Anónima

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

 

UNAUDITED BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS (continued)

 

For the current season, to the 14,000 productive hectares destined to cattle in our Los Pozos farm, located in Salta, we have added 1,300 hectares for soybean production and clearing works on 18,000 additional hectares for cattle were started. Actually, our Los Pozos farm shows returns in the cattle business above the company’s media and the industry’s average.

 

Additionally, we continue to clear 1,185 hectares in our Agro Riego San Luis farm, located in the province of San Luis, for crop irrigation.

 

Cresud’s land reserves amount to 272,000 hectares which were acquired at very low prices. We believe that with the development of these areas, together with proper technology, the value of land will rise generating interesting returns for the Company.

 

Sale of El 41-42 farm

 

On August 22, 2003, the bill of sale of our cattle ranch El 41-42, of 6,478 hectares, located in the province of Chaco, was signed for a total of U$ 1 million. This operation will generate a U$ 0.4 million profit, which will be recorded in our next quarter’s balance sheet.

 

Feed Lot

 

During the quarter, our 170 hectares Feed Lot, located in the province of San Luis, where the Company’s equity interest through Cactus Argentina S.A. is 50%, kept consolidating its growth, operating at 100% of its capacity and with an approximate 20 day delay in the waiting list.

 

Due to the constant increase in the demand for the use of our Feed Lot, we have started works to enlarge the capacity of our first enterprise in approximately 4,000 heads and we plan the development of a second enterprise with a capacity that has not been determined yet.

 

The uniformity obtained in the final product of the feed lot cattle has granted buyers a high quality product, making its commercialization easy and obtaining higher prices at the moment of selling

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, Cactus Argentina S.A.’s income amounted to Ps. 5.0 million, 17% higher than that registered during the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

 

INTERNET

 

Fyo.com, internet site where the company’s equity interest amounts 70%, maintains its position as leading agriculture site and has started to expand the scope of commercial services for the farming community through the direct sale of inputs and crop brokerage.

 

Actually, Futuros y Opciones.com S.A. has a database of 35,000 users and more than 5,000 farmers entitled to carry out deals. Our strategy is focused in commercial services for farmers, using Cresud’s expertise and operative capacity in the business, being FyO the link with the client.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial,

Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

 

1. We have reviewed of the quarterly balance sheets of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria at September 30, 2003, as well as the related statements of income, of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and of Cash Flows for the three-month periods ended on September 30, 2003 and 2002, together with the corresponding Notes 1 through 15 and Schedules A, C, E, F, G and H.

2. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by Technical Resolution N° 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial statements. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

3. Based on the work done and on our audit of the Company’s financial statements and its consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, on which we issued our unqualified report dated September 8, 2003, we report that:

  b) the comparative information included in the individual and consolidated balance sheet and in the complementary notes and Schedules to the attached financial statements were obtained from the financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2003.

 


4. In accordance with current regulations, we report that:

 

a) the financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its consolidated financial statements are transcribed to the “Inventory and Balance Sheet book” and are in accordance with the Commercial Companies Law and pertinent resolutions of the National Securities Commission;

 

b) the financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria arise from accounting records carried in all formal respects in accordance with legal requirements;

 

c) we have read the business overview report and the additional information to the notes to the financial statements required by section 68 of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange Regulations, on which, as regards those matters that are within our competence we have no observations to make.

 

d) at September 30, 2003, the debt accrued of Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria accrued in favor of the Integrated Pension and Survivors’ Benefit System according to the accounting records amounted to $100,321.86 (one hundred thousand three hundred and twenty-one pesos and 86/100), which is not yet due.
