DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

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

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

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely include but are not limited to:

●

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

●

changes in capital markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes toward lending to or investing in Argentina or Argentine companies, including volatility in domestic and international financial markets;

●

inflation and deflation;

●

fluctuations in prevailing interest rates;

●

increases in financing costs or our inability to obtain additional financing on attractive terms, which may limit our ability to fund existing operations and to finance new activities;

●

current and future government regulation and changes in law or in the interpretation by Argentine courts of the recently adopted Civil and Commercial Code, among others;

●

adverse legal or regulatory disputes or proceedings;

●

fluctuations and declines in the aggregate principal amount of Argentine public debt outstanding;

●

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

●

restrictions on transfer of foreign currencies and other exchange controls;

●

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

●

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

●

our ability to take advantage of opportunities in the real estate market of Argentina or Israel on a timely basis;

●

restrictions on energy supply or fluctuations in prices of utilities in the Argentine market;

●

our ability to meet our debt obligations;

●

shifts in consumer purchasing habits and trends;

●

technological changes and our potential inability to implement new technologies;

●

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

●

incidents of government corruption that adversely impact the development of our real estate projects.

●

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

●

risks related to our investment in Israel; and

●

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

You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “could,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continue” or similar expressions.Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward-looking statements after we distribute this annual report because of new information, future events or other factors. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this annual report might not occur and are not guarantees of future performance.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has established two operations centers to manage its global business, which we refer to in this annual report as the “Operation Center in Argentina” and the “Operation Center in Israel.”

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

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER INFORMATION

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This annual report contains our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 for our fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 (our “Audited Consolidated Financial Statements”). Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein have been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L. City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, member of PriceWaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm whose report is included herein.

Pursuant to Resolution No. 562/09 issued by the Argentine Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”), as subsequently amended by Resolution No. 576/10, and further amended and restated by Resolution No. 622/13 (the “CNV Rules”), all listed companies in Argentina with certain exceptions (i.e. financial institutions and insurance entities) were required to present their consolidated financial statements for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Therefore, in 2013 we prepared for the first time our Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS for our financial year ended June 30, 2013, which included comparative financial information for the year ended June 30, 2012. All IFRS issued by the IASB effective at the time of preparing the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied. The opening IFRS statement of financial position was prepared as of our transition date of July 1, 2011.

IDB Development Ltd.’s (“IDBD”) fiscal year ends on December 31 each year and Cresud’s fiscal year ends on June 30. Furthermore, IDBD’s quarterly and annual reporting follow the guidelines of Israeli standards, which means that the information is only available after the applicable statutory terms in Argentina. Therefore, is not possible to include IDBD’s quarterly results in its Consolidated Financial Statements to be filed with the CNV within the applicable statutory terms in Argentina. The IDBD’s results of operations are consolidated with a three-month lag, adjusted by the effects of material transactions that may take place during the reported period. Hence, IDBD’s results of operations for the 12-month period beginning April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017 are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, adjusted by such material transactions occurred between April 1, 2017 and June 30, 2017. In addition, IDBD’s results of operations for the period beginning October 11, 2015 (the date the Company obtained control of IDBD) through March 31, 2016 are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, adjusted by such material transactions occurred between April 1, 2016 and June 30, 2016.

The Company has established two Operations Centers to manage its global business, mainly through the following companies:

(i)

remains in current and non-current assets, as financial assets held for sale.

(ii)

Corresponds to Company’s associates, which are hence excluded from consolidation.

(iii)

Disclosed in groups of assets and liabilities held for sale.

iii

MARKET DATA

Market data used throughout this annual report was derived from reports prepared by unaffiliated third-party sources. Such reports generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed by such sources to be reliable. Certain market data which appears herein (including percentage amounts) may not sum due to rounding.

In this annual report where we refer to “Peso,” “Pesos,” or “Ps.” we mean Argentine Pesos, the lawful currency in Argentina; when we refer to “U.S. Dollars,” or “US$” we mean United States Dollars, the lawful currency of the United States of America; when we refer to “ Real ,” “ Real s,” “Rs.” or “R$” we mean Brazilian Real , the lawful currency in the Federative Republic of Brazil; when we refer to “NIS,” we mean New Israeli Shekels, the lawful currency of Israel; and when we refer to “Central Bank” we mean the Banco Central de la República Argentina (Argentine Central Bank).

Our functional and presentation currency is the Peso, and accordingly our financial statements included in this annual report are presented in Pesos. We have translated some of the Peso amounts contained in this annual report 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 Ps.16.6300 per US$1.00 for information provided as of June 30, 2017. The average seller exchange rate for the fiscal year 2017, quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina was Ps.15.4517. The U.S. dollar-equivalent information presented in this annual report is provided solely for the convenience of investors 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. We have also translated certain NIS amounts into U.S. dollars at the offer exchange rate for June 30, 2017 which was NIS 3.4854 per U.S.$1.00. We make no representation that the Peso, NIS or U.S. dollar amounts actually represent or could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rates indicated, at any particular rate or at all. See “Item 3 – Key information - Local Exchange Market and Exchange Rates.”

Certain numbers and percentages included in this annual report have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in various tables or other sections of this annual report may vary slightly, and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.

Fiscal years

References to fiscal years 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are to our fiscal years starting on July 1 and ending on June 30 of each such year.

PART I

Item 1. Identity of Directors, Senior Management and Advisers

This item is not applicable.

Item 2. Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable

This item is not applicable.

Item 3. Key Information

A. SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The following selected consolidated financial data has been derived from our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of the dates and for each of the periods indicated below. This information should also be read in conjunction with our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included under “Item 8. Financial Information,” and the discussion in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.”

The selected consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income data for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 and the selected consolidated statements of financial position data as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 have been derived from our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report which have been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L. City of Buenos Aires, Argentina, member of PriceWaterhouseCoopers International Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm.

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

The Company’s Board of Directors decided to change the accounting policy for investment property from cost model to fair value model, as permitted under IAS 40. The Company considers this change more reliably reflects the current value of its core assets. The Company has therefore retroactively recast the previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as required by IAS 8. In addition, the company has recalculated the significant test determined by the rule 3-09 and there are no significant entities for the years ended on June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Exchange controls

During 2001 and 2015, the Argentine government established a series of exchange control measures that restricted the free disposition of funds and the transfer of funds abroad. In 2011, these measures had significantly curtailed access to the Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios (“MULC”) by both individuals and private sector entities. This made it necessary, among other things, to obtain prior approval from the Central Bank to enter into certain foreign exchange transactions such as payments relating to royalties, services or fees payable to related parties of Argentine companies outside Argentina.

With the change of government and political environment, in December 2015, one of the first measures taken by the Argentine government was to lift the main restrictions that limited access to individuals to the MULC. Through Communication “A” 5850 and later, as the local economy stabilized Communication “A” 6037, the Central Bank lifted the previous limitations and allowed unrestricted access to the foreign exchange market, subject to some requirements, as detailed below.

Although most exchange control regulations were lifted on August 2016, some remain in place and we cannot give you any assurance that additional exchange control regulations will not be adopted in the future. Please see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Argentina—Exchange controls, restrictions on transfers abroad and capital inflow restrictions may limit the availability of international credit.”

Exchange controls regulations currently in effect in Argentina include the following:

Registration Requirements

All incoming and outgoing funds to and from the MULC and any foreign indebtedness (financial and commercial) are subject to registration requirements before the Central Bank for informative purposes, in accordance with Communication “A” 3602, as amended.

Corporate profits and dividends

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

Restrictions on foreign indebtedness

Pursuant to Resolution E 1/2017 of the Ministerio de Hacienda and the Communication “A” 6150 of the Central Bank, it was deleted the obligation that required non-residents to perform portfolio investments in the country intended for the holding of private sector financial assets to maintain for a period of 120 days of permanence the funds in the country.

As of that resolution and the provisions of Communication “A” 6244 of the Central Bank, there are no restrictions on entry and exit in the MULC.

Restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency

Domestic individuals and companies

Communication “A” 5850 and AFIP Resolution No. 3821 modified and replaced the prior regimes related to, among others, the purchase of external assets by Argentine residents—domestic individuals and companies—for investment purposes and for travel, tourism and family assistance. The regime currently applicable is characterized by the following:

●

External assets may only be acquired by Argentine individuals, legal entities from the private sector incorporated in Argentina that are not authorized to trade on the foreign exchange market, assets ( patrimonios ), and other entities incorporated in Argentina and local government agencies.

●

Access to the local foreign exchange market without requiring prior Central Bank approval is allowed for an unlimited amount, for all of the following: real estate investments abroad, loans granted to non-Argentine residents, Argentine residents’ contributions of direct investments abroad, portfolio investment of Argentine individuals abroad, certain other investments abroad of Argentine residents, portfolio investments of Argentine legal entities abroad, purchase of foreign currency bills to be held in Argentina, donations complying certain conditions, as well as purchase of traveler checks.

●

In the case of foreign currency sales to Argentine residents for portfolio investments abroad, the transfer has to be made directly to the bank account of such Argentine resident, which must be located at foreign banks or financial institutions that regularly conduct investment banking activities, which are not incorporated in countries or territories considered not to be cooperative for purposes of fiscal transparency in terms of the provisions of Section 1 of the Decree No. 589/13 and its complementary provisions, or in countries or territories that do not apply the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force, or “FATF.”

●

The proceeds of the sale of foreign currency by Argentine residents in the foreign exchange market for all the items can be credited in a checking or savings bank account in a local financial institution in the client’s name or withdrawn by cash.

●

Regarding the collection for services provided to non-Argentine residents and/or resulting from the sale of non-produced non-financial assets exempted from mandatory sale in the foreign exchange market.

Argentine residents that receive funds in foreign currency for the payment of services rendered to non-Argentine residents or for the sale of non-produced non-financial assets may receive those funds in a local foreign currency account without exchanging it for Argentine pesos in the foreign exchange market. Following Communications “A” 6011 and 6037 of the Central Bank foreign assets may be acquired for investment purposes by Argentine residents without limitations. In addition foreign currency may be purchased through a debit account or through an unlimited cash withdrawal without limits.

Non-residents

Communication “A” 6150 dated January 13, 2017 abolished all restrictions regarding prior approval from the Central Bank, minimum amounts, or minimum holding periods to repatriate portfolio investments or direct investments of non-residents.

Restrictions on exports, imports and services

Regarding exports, in 2016 the Central Bank relaxed certain rules related to the inflow and outflow of foreign currency collected abroad as a result of the collection of exports of goods, advance payments, and pre-export financings, establishing that the deadline to repatriate to Argentina the foreign currency is 10 years. The prior 10-business day period applicable for the transfer of funds collected abroad as a result of the collection of exports of goods, advance payments, and pre-export financings to a correspondent bank account of a local financial institution ( cuenta de corresponsalía ) was eliminated in December 2015. In relation to the export of services, Communication “A” 6137 the Central Bank eliminated the obligation to repatriate to Argentina the foreign currency obtained.

Regarding imports, access to the foreign exchange market for the payment of imports with customs clearance date as of December 17, 2015 can be paid through the local foreign exchange market without any limit. AFIP Regulation No. 3252 published on January 5, 2012 which required importers to file affidavits was eliminated in December 2015 and the import monitoring system ( Sistema Integral de Monitoreo de Importaciones, or “SIMI” was created, which established an obligation for importers to submit certain information electronically. Importers do not have to repatriate the goods within a specified period (previously this period was 365 calendar days from the date of access to the foreign exchange market).

Regarding the payment of services, the access to the foreign exchange market for payments of services rendered as from December 17, 2015 may be carried out without any limits and without the Central Bank’s prior authorization.

Direct investments

On March 4, 2005, the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 4305 that regulates the reporting system of direct investments and real estate investments carried out by non-residents in Argentina and by Argentine residents abroad, which had been implemented through Communication “A” 4237 dated November 10, 2004.

Direct investments in Argentina of non-Argentine residents

Non-Argentine residents must comply with the reporting regime if the value of their investments in Argentina is equivalent to more than US$500,000—measured in terms of the net worth of the company in which they participate or fiscal value of the real estate owned. If such value is less than US$500,000, compliance with such regime is optional. According to Communication “A” 4237, companies in which non-Argentine residents participate and administrators of real estate of non-Argentine residents must comply with the reporting regime.

Direct investments made abroad by Argentine residents

Investors who are Argentine residents must comply with the reporting regime if the value of their investments abroad is equivalent to more than US$1,000,000—measured in terms of net worth of the company in which they participate or the fiscal value of the real estate they own. If such value is less than the equivalent of US$5,000,000, the reporting obligation is annual rather than semi-annual. If such value is less than the equivalent of US$1,000,000, compliance with such regime is optional.

Future and forward operations

The Central Bank has significantly amended the foreign exchange regulations in derivatives by eliminating the restriction on the execution of cross-border derivative transactions. In August 2016, the Central Bank introduced new foreign exchange regulations on derivative transactions which allowed local residents from entering into derivative transactions with foreign residents. Moreover, the regulations now provide that Argentine residents may access the foreign exchange market to pay premiums, post collateral and make payments related to forwards, futures, options and other derivatives entered into in foreign exchanges or with non-resident counterparties.

The foreign exchange regulations now allow Argentine residents to enter into derivative transaction with foreign counterparties without the need for authorization of the Central Bank. They also allow them to purchase foreign currency to make payments under derivative transactions.

For further details regarding the exchange regulations applicable in Argentina, investors should consult their professional advisers and read the full text of the above cited rules on the website of the Ministry of Treasury and of the Central Bank.

Operations Center in Argentina

Risks Relating to Argentina

As of the date of this annual report, most of our operations, property and customers from our Operations Center in Argentina are located in Argentina. As a result, the quality of our assets, our financial condition and the results of our operations from our Operations Center in Argentina are dependent upon the macroeconomic, regulatory, social and political conditions prevailing in Argentina from time to time. These conditions include growth rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, taxes, foreign exchange controls, changes to interest rates, changes to government policies, social instability, and other political, economic or international developments either taking place in, or otherwise affecting, Argentina.

Economic and political instability in Argentina may adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Argentine economy has experienced significant volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or negative growth, high levels of inflation and currency depreciation, and may experience further volatility in the future.

During 2001 and 2002, Argentina went through a period of severe political, economic and social crisis. Among other consequences, the crisis resulted in Argentina defaulting on its foreign debt obligations, introducing emergency measures and numerous changes in economic policies that adversely affected most sectors of the economy, particularly utilities, financial institutions, and industrial companies. The Argentine Peso also was subjected to significant real devaluation and depreciation, which resulted in many Argentine private sector debtors with foreign currency exposure to default on their outstanding debt. Following that crisis, Argentine GDP grew 8.9% in 2005, 8.0% in 2006 and 9.0% in 2007. During 2008 and 2009, however, the Argentine economy suffered a slowdown attributed to local and external factors, including an extended drought affecting agricultural activities, and the effects of the global economic crisis. Real GDP growth recovered in 2010 and 2011 to 10.1% and 6.0%, respectively. However, GDP contracted 1.0% in 2012 and then grew by 2.4% in 2013. In 2014, economic again contracted by 2.5%. The Argentine economy has remained under pressure in recent years with GDP expanding 2.6% in 2015 and contracting 2.3% in 2016 according to data reported by the National Institute of Statistics ( Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas y Censos) , or “INDEC.”

Presidential and Congressional elections in Argentina were held on October 25, 2015, and a runoff election between the two leading Presidential candidates was held on November 22, 2015, which resulted in Mr. Mauricio Macri being elected President of Argentina. The Macri administration assumed office on December 10, 2015. Since taking office, the new administration has announced a policy agenda aimed at adopting measures that are market friendly and designed to ensure long-term macroeconomic performance including reducing the fiscal deficit, eliminating restrictions on capital flows and access to the exchange rate market, correcting energy and transport prices and obtaining financing through the capital markets.

The Macri administration has adopted the following key economic and policy reforms.

●

INDEC reforms. President Macri appointed Mr. Jorge Todesca, previously a director of a private consulting firm, as head of the INDEC. On January 8, 2016, the Argentine government declared a state of administrative emergency relating to the national statistical system and the INDEC, until December 31, 2016. During 2016, the INDEC implemented certain methodological reforms and adjusted certain macroeconomic statistics on the basis of these reforms. Following the declared emergency, the INDEC ceased publishing statistical data until a rearrangement of its technical and administrative structure is finalized. During the course of implementing these reforms, however, INDEC has used official Consumer Price Index, or “CPI,” figures and other statistical information published by the Province of San Luis and the City of Buenos Aires. On June 29, 2016, the INDEC published revised GDP data for the years 2004 through 2015. On August 31, 2016, the IMF Executive Board met to consider the progress made by Argentina in improving the quality of official GDP and CPI data and noted the important progress made in strengthening the accuracy of Argentina’s statistics. On November 10, 2016, the IMF lifted the existing censure on Argentina regarding these data.

●

Agreement with holdout creditors. The Argentine government has reached agreements with substantially all of the holdout bondholders who had not previously participated in Argentina’s sovereign debt restructurings (in terms of claims) and regained access to the international capital markets, issuing several new series of sovereign bonds since President Macri took office.

●

Foreign exchange reforms. In addition, the Macri administration eliminated a significant portion of foreign exchange restrictions, including certain currency controls, that were imposed under the Kirchner administration. On August 9, 2016, the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 6037 which substantially changed the existing legal framework and eliminated certain restrictions limiting access to the foreign exchange market MULC. The principal measures adopted as of the date of this annual report include:

the reestablishment of Argentine residents’ rights to purchase and remit foreign currency outside of Argentina without limit and without specific allocation ( atesoramiento );

ii.

the elimination of the mandatory, non-transferable and non-interest bearing deposit previously required in connection with certain transactions involving foreign currency inflows by reducing the amount of the deposits from 30% to 0%;

iii.

the elimination of the requirement to transfer and settle the proceeds from new foreign financial indebtedness incurred by the foreign financial sector, the non-financial private sector and local governments through the MULC; and

iv.

the elimination of the requirement that proceeds from debt issuances abroad must be maintained undistributed for a minimum of 365 calendar days.

●

Foreign trade reforms. The Kirchner and Fernández de Kirchner administrations imposed export duties and other restrictions on several sectors, particularly the agricultural sector. The Macri administration eliminated export duties on wheat, corn, beef and regional products, and reduced the duty on soybeans by 5% to 30%. Further, the 5% export duty on most industrial exports was eliminated. With respect to payments for imports of goods and services, the Macri administration announced the gradual elimination of restrictions on access to the MULC for any transactions originated before December 17, 2015. Regarding transactions executed after December 17, 2015, no quantitative limitations apply.

●

National electricity state of emergency and reforms. Following years of very limited investment in the energy sector, as well as the continued freeze on electricity and natural gas tariffs since the 2001-2002 economic crisis, Argentina began to experience energy shortages in 2011. In response to the growing energy crisis, the Macri administration declared a state of emergency with respect to the national electricity system, which will remain in effect until December 31, 2017. The state of emergency enables the Government to take actions designed to ensure the supply of electricity to the country, such as instructing the Ministry of Energy and Mining to design and implement, with the cooperation of all federal public entities, a coordinated program to guarantee the quality and security of the electrical grid. In addition, through Resolution No. 6/2016 of the Ministry of Energy and Mining and Resolution No. 1/2016 of the National Electricity Regulatory Agency ( Ente Nacional Regulador de la Electricidad ), the Macri administration announced the elimination of a portion of energy subsidies currently in effect and a substantial increase in electricity rates. As a result, average electricity prices have already increased and could increase further. By correcting tariffs, modifying the regulatory framework and reducing the Government’s involvement in the sector, the Macri administration aims to correct distortions in the energy sector and stimulate investment. However, certain of the Government’s initiatives have been challenged in the Argentine courts and resulted in judicial injunctions or rulings limiting the Government’s initiatives.

●

Tariff increases. With the aim of encouraging companies to invest and improve the services they offer and enabling the Government to assist those in need, the Macri administration has begun updating the tariffs for electricity, transportation, gas and water services. Each of the announced tariff increases contemplates a tarifa social (social tariff), which is designed to provide support to vulnerable groups, including beneficiaries of social programs, retirees and pensioners who receive up to two minimum pensions, workers who receive up to two minimum salaries, individuals with disabilities, individuals registered in the Monotributo Social program, domestic workers and individuals receiving unemployment insurance.
On August 18, 2016, the Supreme Court of Argentina in “ Centro de Estudios para la Promoción de la Igualdad y la Solidaridad versus Ministry of Energy and Mining ,” upheld lower court injunctions suspending the proposed increases in gas tariffs and instructed the Ministry of Energy and Mining to conduct a non-binding public hearing prior to sanctioning any such increases. The public hearings were held on September 16, 2016. Pursuant to the holding by the Supreme Court, the Gas Regulatory Entity, or “Enargas,” issued Resolution No. 3960 and 3961 ordering the reestablishment of the prior tariff scheme as of March 31, 2016, and implemented an installment regime for the payment of overdue bills.

●

Tax Amnesty Law. In July 2016, the Régimen de Sinceramiento Fiscal , or “Tax Amnesty Law,” was introduced to promote the voluntary declaration of assets by Argentine residents. The Tax Amnesty Law allows Argentine tax residents holding undeclared funds or assets located in Argentina or abroad to (i) declare such property until March 31, 2017 without facing prosecution for tax evasion or being required to pay past-due tax liabilities on the assets, if they could provide evidence that the assets were held by certain specified cut-off dates, and (ii) keep the declared property outside Argentina and not repatriate such property to Argentina. With respect to cash that was not deposited in bank accounts by the specified cut-off dates, such amounts had to be disclosed and deposited by October 31, 2016 in special accounts opened at Argentine financial entities. Depending on the amount declared, how soon it is declared, the election to subscribe for certain investment securities and the payment method used, those who took advantage of the Tax Amnesty Law would pay a special tax of between 0 and 15% on the total amount declared. Alternatively, they could invest an equivalent amount in Argentine government bonds or a fund that would finance, among other things, public infrastructure projects and small to medium-sized businesses in general. Taxpayers may elect to subscribe for certain investment securities and reduce the tax rates payable upon disclosure of previously undisclosed assets. On April 4, 2017, the Finance Minister of Argentina announced that, as a result, US$116,800 million undeclared assets were declared.

●

Retiree Programs. On June 29, 2016, Congress passed a bill approving the Ley de Reparación Histórica a los Jubilados (Historical Reparations Program for Retirees and Pensioners), which took effect upon its publication in the official gazette. The main aspects of this program, which is designed to conform government social security policies to Supreme Court rulings, include (i) payments to more than two million retirees and the retroactive compensation of more than 300,000 retirees and (ii) the creation of a pensión universal (universal pension) for the elderly, which guarantees an income for all individuals over 65 years of age who are otherwise ineligible for retirement. The Historical Reparations Program for Retirees and Pensioners will give retroactive compensation to retirees in an aggregate amount of more than Ps.47.0 billion and involve expenses of up to Ps.75.0 billion to cover all potential beneficiaries.

●

Fiscal policy: The Macri administration reduced the primary fiscal deficit by approximately 1.8% of GDP in December 2015 through a series of tax and other measures, and pursued a primary fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of GDP in 2016 through the elimination of subsidies and the reorganization of certain expenditures. However, the primary fiscal deficit for October 2016 increased 183% compared to the comparable period in 2015, while the aggregated primary fiscal deficit as of January 2016 represented a 69% increase compared to the same period of 2015, reaching 4.6% of GDP. The Macri administration’s ultimate aim is to achieve a balanced primary budget by 2019.

On February 22, 2017, Finance Minister Nicolas Dujovne announced fiscal targets for the period 2017-2019, ratifying the target set in the 2017 budget—which established a primary deficit of 4.2% of GDP for 2017—and announcing a deficit target of 3.2% for 2018 and 2.2% for 2019. It also announced quarterly targets as a percentage of GDP for 2017, of 0.6% for the first quarter; 2.0% for the second, 3.2% for the third and 4.2% for the last one. Targets for the first and second quarters have been met.

●

Correction of monetary imbalances: The Macri administration announced the adoption of an inflation targeting regime in parallel with the floating exchange rate regime and set inflation targets for the next four years. The Central Bank has increased the use of stabilization policies to reduce excess monetary imbalances and reduced Peso interest rates to offset inflationary pressure.

While some of the measures adopted have led to higher inflation, there has been an increase in the demand for pesos and a recovery of credit points toward a gradual normalization of macroeconomic conditions. To this end, access to external financing may have a positive effect, by significantly reducing the monetization of the fiscal deficit without requiring an abrupt fiscal adjustment that would put economic growth under pressure. Simultaneously, the inflow of foreign capital would generate a greater supply of foreign exchange in the MULC limiting the depreciation of the Argentine peso and its direct impact on inflation. This, in turn, would increase the demand for real balances in pesos, allowing for a reduction in interest rates and further revival of credit demand and economic activity.

As of the date of this annual report, the impact that the measures taken by the Macri administration will have on the Argentine economy as a whole and the real-estate sector in particular cannot be predicted. In addition, although the results from the mid-term elections held in October 2017, were characterized as positive for the Macri administration, opposition political parties retained a majority of the seats in the Argentine Congress, which has required and will require the Macri administration to seek political support from these parties to implement its proposals creating additional uncertainty regarding the ability of the Macri administration to effectively implement its policy agenda.

Higher rates of inflation, any decline in GDP growth rates and/or other future economic, social and political developments in Argentina, a lack of stability and competitiveness of the Peso against other currencies, and a decline in confidence among consumers and foreign and domestic investors, among other factors, may materially adversely affect the development of the Argentine economy which could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

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

In January 2007, the INDEC changed the methodology used to calculate the CPI. At the same time that the INDEC adopted this change in methodology the Argentine government also replaced several key officers at the INDEC, prompting complaints of governmental interference from the technical staff at the INDEC. In addition, during this period the IMF requested a number of times that INDEC clarify its methodology for measuring inflation rates.

On November 23, 2010, the Argentine government began consulting with the IMF for technical assistance in order to prepare new national CPI data with the aim of modernizing the existing statistical system. During the first quarter of 2011, a team from the IMF started collaborating with the INDEC in order to create such index. Notwithstanding these efforts, reports subsequently published by the IMF stated that its staff also used alternative measures of inflation for macroeconomic surveillance, including data produced by private sources, and such measures have shown inflation rates that are considerably higher than those published by the INDEC since 2007. Consequently, the IMF called on Argentina to adopt measures to improve the quality of data used by the INDEC. At a meeting held on February 1, 2013, the Executive Board of the IMF emphasized that the progress in implementing remedial measures since September 2012 had been insufficient. As a result, the IMF issued a declaration of censure against Argentina in connection with the breach of its related obligations to the IMF and called on Argentina to adopt remedial measures to address the inaccuracy of inflation and GDP data promptly.

In order to address the quality of official data, a new consumer price index denominated Urban National Consumers Price Index ( Índice de Precios al Consumidor Nacional Urbano) , or the “IPCNu,” was enacted on February 13, 2014. Inflation measured by the IPCNu was 23.9% for 2014, 29.2% for 2015 and 33.7% for 2016. The IPCNu represents the first national indicator in Argentina to measure changes in prices of household goods for final consumption. While the previous price index only measured inflation in the Greater Buenos Aires area, the IPCNu is calculated by measuring prices of goods across the entire urban population of the 23 provinces of Argentina and the City of Buenos Aires. On December 15, 2014, the IMF recognized the progress of Argentine authorities to remedy the inaccurate provision of data, but has delayed the definitive evaluation of the new index.

On January 8, 2016, as a result of the INDEC’s historical inability to produce reliable statistical data, the Macri administration issued an emergency decree and ceased publication of national statistics. The INDEC suspended all publications of statistical data until the technical reorganization process was completed and the administrative structure of the INDEC was recomposed. Following this process of reorganization and recovery, the INDEC began to gradually publish official data. The INDEC recalculated historical GDP data dating back to 2014, and GDP growth measures were revised to growth of 2.3% in 2013, contraction of 2.1% in 2014, growth of 2.4% in 2015 and contraction of 2.1% in 2016. GDP as reported by INDEC for the fourth quarter of 2016 grew 0.5% compared to the comparable quarter of 2015, in the seasonally adjusted measurement.

The Budget Law for fiscal year 2017 includes targets for CPI variation between 17% and 12% for 2017, between 8% and 12% for 2018 and between 3.5% and 6.5% for 2019. On November 9, 2016, the IMF, after analyzing Argentina’s progress in improving quality of official data on the CPI, decided to lift the “censure motion” that was imposed in 2013, concluding that the CPI of Argentina is now in compliance with international standards. However, we cannot assure you that such inaccuracy in relation with the economic indicators will not occur again in the future and, consequently, this circumstance may have an adverse effect on the Argentine economy and on our financial results. If despite the changes introduced in the INDEC by the new government, there are still differences between the figures published by the INDEC and those recorded by private consultants, there could be a significant decrease in confidence in the Argentine economy, which could have an impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

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

Inflation has, in the past, materially undermined the Argentine economy and the government’s ability to foster conditions that would permit stable growth. In recent years, Argentina has confronted inflationary pressures, evidenced by significantly higher fuel, energy and food prices, among other factors. In response, the prior Argentine administration implemented programs to control inflation and monitor prices for essential goods and services, including freezing the prices of key products and services, and price support arrangements agreed between the Argentine government and private sector companies in several industries and markets.According to data published by the INDEC, the rate of inflation reached 10.9% in 2010, 9.5% in 2011, 10.8% in 2012, 10.9% in 2013, 23.9% in 2014 and 26.9% in 2015. In November 2015, the INDEC suspended the publication of the CPI. After implementing certain methodological reforms and adjusting certain macroeconomic statistics on the basis of these reforms, in June 2016 the INDEC resumed its publications of the CPI. At the beginning of 2017, the inflation statistics started to show a stable deceleration trend in its rates accordingly with the new inflation targeting policies of the Central Bank. The inflation rates published by the INDEC for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August and September 2017 were 1.3%, 2.5%, 2.4%, 2.6%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 1.7%, 1.4%, and 1.9%, respectively. An inflationary environment would undermine Argentina’s foreign competitiveness by diluting the effects of a peso devaluation, negatively impact the level of economic activity and employment and undermine confidence in Argentina’s banking system, which could further limit the availability of domestic and international credit. In addition, a portion of the Argentine debt is adjusted by the Stabilization Coefficient ( Coeficiente de Estabilización de Referencia ), or “CER,” a currency index, that is strongly related to inflation. Therefore, any significant increase in inflation would cause an increase in the principal amount of sovereign external debt and consequently in Argentina’s financial obligations, which could negatively affect the Argentine economy. A high level of uncertainty and a general lack of stability in terms of inflation could also lead to shortened contractual terms and affect the ability to plan and make investment decisions.Inflation remains a challenge for Argentina. The Macri administration has set goals to reduce the primary fiscal deficit as a percentage of GDP over time and also reduce the Argentine government’s reliance on Central Bank financing. If despite these measures the Macri administration is unable to address Argentina’s structural inflationary imbalances, the prevailing high rates of inflation may continue, which would have an adverse effect on Argentina’s economy that could lead to an increase in the principal amount of Argentina’s debt outstanding as measured in Pesos. Moreover, certain objectives of the Macri administration, such as the increase in tariffs to incentivize investment in the energy sector, may result in higher rates of inflation. Inflation in Argentina has contributed to a material increase in our costs of operations, in particular labor costs, and has negatively impacted our financial condition and results of operations.Inflation rates could increase further in the future, and there is uncertainty regarding the effects and effectiveness of the measures adopted, or that may be adopted in the future, by the Argentine government to control inflation. Public speculation about possible additional actions have also contributed significantly to economic uncertainty and heightened the volatility of the economy. If inflation remains high or continues to rise, Argentina’s economy may be negatively impacted and our results of operations could be materially affected.

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

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

After several years of moderate variations in the nominal exchange rate, in 2012 the peso depreciated approximately 14.3% against the U.S. dollar. This was followed in 2013 and 2014 by a 32.5% depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar in 2013 and 30.3% in 2014, including a loss of approximately 21.6% in January 2014 alone. In 2015, the Peso depreciated 52.7% against the dollar with a 33% depreciation in the last weeks of December 2015. In 2016 the Peso depreciated a further 20.5% against the dollar. During the first and second quarter of 2017 the exchange rate has remained stable, mainly as a consequence of the Tax Amnesty Law and its effects on the foreign currency market. During the third quarter of 2017 the political impact of the mid term elections caused certain volatility in the exchange market.

From time to time the Central Bank may intervene in the foreign exchange market in order to stabilize the exchange rate of the peso. Additional volatility, appreciation or depreciation of the peso, or reduction of the Central Bank’s foreign currency reserves as a result of currency intervention, could adversely affect the Argentine economy and our ability to service our obligations as they become due.

If the Peso continues to depreciate, the Argentine economy may be negatively affected with adverse consequences on our business and financial condition. Particularly as a result of our exposure to liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. While certain of our office leases are set in U.S. dollars, we are only partially protected against depreciation of the Peso and there can be no assurance we will be able to maintain our U.S. dollar-denominated leases.

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

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

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

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

Additionally, on December 19, 2012, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 2,552/12, which ordered the expropriation of the Predio Rural de Palermo. On January 4, 2013, the Federal Civil and Commercial Chamber granted an injunction that blocked the enforceability of such Decree. However, on June 1, 2015, the injunction was removed. This decision was appealed and the injunction was reinstated. The Argentine government lost an appeal to have the injunction revoked. The government filed a request for dismissal in April 2016. The court granted registration of the matter and ordered a formal notification to plaintiff Sociedad Rural Argentina, which filed its response in November 2016. As of the date of this annual report, the proceedings are still pending before the Federal Civil and Commercial Courts No. 8, Secretariat No. 15 of the City of Buenos Aires. The expropriation of this development without fair compensation may affect our interest in Entertainment Holding S.A., or “EHSA,” a joint venture and the entity that owns the property.

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

Other examples of government intervention by the prior administration, include regulations relating to domestic capital markets approved by the Argentine Congress in December 2012 and August 2013. These regulations generally provide for increased intervention in the capital markets by the government, authorizing, for example, the CNV to appoint observers with authority to veto the decisions of the board of directors of publicly-listed companies under certain circumstances and suspend the board of directors for a period of up to 180 days. Nevertheless, since November 2016 the government has been working on an amendment to the Capital Markets Law No. 26,831, or the “Capital Markets Law” which, if approved, will eliminate CNV’s authorization to appoint the aforementioned observers.

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

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

In the past, the Argentine government has passed laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to maintain minimum wage levels and provide specified benefits to employees and may do so again in the future. In the aftermath of the Argentine economic crisis, employers both in the publicand private sectors experienced significant pressure from their employees and labor organizations to increase wages and to provide additional employee benefits. Since July 2017, the minimum monthly salary of employees to is Ps.8,860. Due to persistent high rates of inflation, employers in both the public and private sectors continue to experience significant pressure from unions and their employees to increase minimum salaries.

In the future, the government could take new measures requiring salary increases or additional benefits for workers, and the labor force and labor unions may apply pressure for such measures. As of the date of this annual report, the government and labor representatives were engaged in negotiations to set national guidelines for salary increases during 2017. Any such increase in wage or worker benefit could result in added costs and adversely affect the results of operations of Argentine companies, including us.

Property values in Argentina could decline significantly.

Property values are influenced by multiple factors that are beyond our control, such as a decrease in the demand for real estate properties due to a deterioration of macroeconomic conditions or an increase in supply of real estate properties that could adversely affect the value of real estate properties. We cannot assure you that property values will increase or that they will not be reduced. A significant part of our properties are located in Argentina. As a result, a reduction in the value of properties in Argentina could materially affect our business and our financial statements due to the valuation of our investment properties at fair market value.

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the above, for many years, and as a consequence of a decrease in availability of U.S. dollars in Argentina, the previous Argentine government imposed informal restrictions on certain local companies and individuals for purchasing foreign currency. These restrictions on foreign currency purchases started in October 2011 and tightened thereafter. As a result of these informal restrictions, local residents and companies were prevented from purchasing foreign currency through the MULC for the purpose of making payments abroad, such as dividends, capital reductions, and payment for imports of goods and services.

Such restrictions and other foreign exchange control measures were lifted by the new administration, moving towards opening Argentina’s foreign exchange market. In this sense, on December 17, 2015, Communication “A” 5850 of the Central Bank reestablished the possibility for non-residents to repatriate their investment capital and, recently, Communication “A” 6037 of the Central Bank defined the new regulations that apply to the acquisition of foreign currency and the elimination of all other restrictions that impair residents and non-residents to have access to the foreign exchange market. However, in the future, the Argentine government or the Central Bank may impose formal restrictions to the payment of dividends abroad, on capital transfers and establish additional requirements. Such measures may negatively affect Argentina’s international competitiveness, discouraging foreign investments and lending by foreign investors or increasing foreign capital outflow which could have an adverse effect on economic activity in Argentina, and which in turn could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Furthermore, any restrictions on transferring funds abroad imposed by the government could undermine our ability to pay dividends on our ADSs in U.S. dollars.

The Rural Land Law and its application.

On December 22, 2011, the Argentine Congress passed the Rural Land Law in order to protect the ownership and sovereignty of certain rural areas of Argentina (the “Rural Land Law”). The Rural Land Law sets limits on the ownership of rural land by foreign individuals or legal entities acting in Argentina (“Foreign Persons”), setting a maximum allowable percentage ownership for foreigners of 20%. Additionally, only 30% of the aforementioned 20% may be held by Foreign Persons of the same nationality, and from the date of enactment of the Rural Land Act, a Foreign Person may not own more than 1,000 hectares of rural land in total throughout Argentine territory. The Rural Land Law states that it will not affect any rights previously acquired by Foreign Persons.

For the purposes of the Rural Land Law, the definition of Foreign Person includes Argentine companies in which a percentage higher than 51% of the outstanding capital stock is owned by foreign individuals or legal entities, or lower rates if the entity meets the proportions necessary to form the social will. The following also falls within the definition of Foreign Person (among others): (a) entities controlled by a percentage greater than 25% by a foreign company, or regardless of participation when such company holds enough votes to form the social will of that company; (b) companies that issued convertible notes, where a Foreign Person may exert over 25% of the voting power necessary to form the social will; (c) transfers for trusts whose beneficiaries are Foreign Persons in a percentage higher than 25%, (d) joint ventures, holding companies and any other legal persons present or in the future, and (e) foreign legal persons under public law.

On February 29, 2012, Executive Branch Decree No. 274/12 was published regulating the Rural Land Law. The aforementioned decree established a deadline of 60 days to the provinces to report the total area of their departments, municipalities or political divisions equivalent discriminating rural and urban land and rural properties subject to the Rural Land Law and consequently owned by Foreign Persons. Additionally, provinces should report the complete list of foreign companies registered in their respective jurisdictions. The decree also provides that foreign holders must report their holdings within 180 days from the date of enactment of regulations in the national register of rural land.

In addition, on June 30, 2016, Executive Branch Decree No. 820/16 was published modifying the Executive Branch Decree No. 274/12. For the purpose of determining the ownership of the rural land, the Decree No. 820/16 defines how to compute the acquisition of rural land, when they occur as a result of transfers of share packages and how soon transfer; and solves how to estimate equivalence with respect to the core area, depending on the limits for each type of exploitation, municipality, department and province.

We cannot assure you that these or other measures that may be adopted by the Argentine government in the future, such as further restrictions or regulations, will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, if our access to the acquisition or holding of our actual or future properties is limited.

Exchange controls, restrictions on transfers abroad and capital inflow restrictions may limit the availability of international credit.

Until December 2015, many foreign exchange restrictions and controls had limited the access the exchange market. On December 16, 2015, the new authorities issued Communication “A” 5850 of the Central Bank, lifting most of the restrictions then in place. Among these measures, free access to the exchange market was granted for the purchase of foreign currency intended for general purposes, without requiring prior approval of the Central Bank or the Federal Administration of Public Revenues ( Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos ), or “AFIP,” and the requirement to deposit 30% of certain capital inflows into Argentina was eliminated. Towards the end of 2016, the remaining exchange control restrictions were also lifted by the Central Bank’s Communication A 6037 and “A” 6150, so to date there is free access to the exchange market. Pursuant to Resolution E 1/2017 of the Ministerio de Hacienda and the Communication "A" 6150 of the Central Bank, it was deleted the obligation that required non-residents to perform portfolio investments in the country intended for the holding of private sector financial assets to maintain for a period of 120 days of permanence the funds in the country. As of that resolution and the provisions of Communication “A” 6244 of the Central Bank, there are no restrictions on entry and exit in the MULC.

Notwithstanding recent measures adopted by the Macri administration, in the future the Argentine government could impose further exchange controls or restrictions on the movement of capital and/or take other measures in response to capital flight or a significant depreciation of the peso, which could limit our ability to access the international capital markets. Such measures could lead to political and social tensions and undermine the Argentine government’s public finances, as has occurred in the past, which could adversely affect Argentina’s economy and prospects for economic growth. For more information, see “Item 3. Key Information - Local Exchange Market and Exchange Rates.”

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

Argentina’s economy is vulnerable to external shocks that could be caused by adverse developments affecting its principal trading partners. A significant decline in the economic growth of any of Argentina’s major trading partners (including Brazil, the European Union, China and the United States) could have a material adverse impact on Argentina’s balance of trade and adversely affect Argentina’s economic growth. In 2016, there were declines in exports of 4.5% with Chile, 14.3% with MERCOSUR (Brazil) and 13.5% with China. On the other hand, exports increased 15.6% with NAFTA (the United States, Mexico and Canada), 3.6% with the European Union and 26.7% with Asian countries each as compared to 2015. Declining demand for Argentine exports could have a material adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth. For example, the recent significant depreciation of the Brazilian and Chinese currencies and the current slowdown of their respective economies may negatively affect the Argentine economy. Moreover, the political and social instability in Brazil, which includes the recent removal of the President Dilma Rousseff from office following an impeachment vote in the Senate, and the uncertainties arising therefrom and the contraction of Brazil’s economy, may have an adverse impact on Argentine’s economy.

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

In addition, emerging market economies have been affected by the recent change in the U.S. monetary policy, resulting in the unwinding of investments and increased volatility in the value of their currencies. If interest rates rise significantly in developed economies, including the United States, emerging market economies, including Argentina, could find it more difficult and expensive to borrow capital and refinance existing debt, which would negatively affect their economic growth. There is also global uncertainty about the degree of economic recovery in the United States. Moreover, the recent challenges faced by the European Union to stabilize certain of its member economies, such as Greece, have had and may continue to have international implications affecting the stability of global financial markets, which has hindered economies worldwide.

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

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted in favor of the United Kingdom exiting the European Union, or “Brexit.” The possible negative consequences of Brexit include an economic crisis in the United Kingdom, a short-term recession and a decrease of investments in public services and foreign investments. The greatest impact of Brexit may be on the United Kingdom, however the impact may also be significant to other members states. As of the date of this annual report, the actions that the United Kingdom will take to effectively exit from the European Union or the length of such process are uncertain. Brexit has caused, and is anticipated to continue causing, volatility in the financial markets, which may adversely affect business activity and economic and market conditions in the United Kingdom, the Eurozone and globally, and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets. All these effects could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The possible independence of Catalonia may have an impact on economic conditions in Latin America and Argentina and, particularly, on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, generating uncertainty over the trading of our notes.

In these days, Spain is going through a very critical and delicate situation, since Catalonia intends to become independent and to be a separate country from Spain. At the moment, several debates, confrontations and political, economic and social conflicts are carried out to define the situation between the Spanish government and the Catalan. On October 27, 2017 the Parliament of Catalonia approved a resolution creating an independent Republic unilaterally by a vote considered illegal by the lawyers of the Parliament of Catalonia for violating the decisions of the Constitutional Court of Spain. As of October 28, 2017, the Catalan Republic is unrecognized by the international community, which regards the region as part of of Spain.

As of the date of this annual report, the actions that Spain and Catalonia will take to define independence or not are uncertain. Such a situation together with any measure that the European Union may take, could cause volatility in financial markets, which may adversely affect business activity and economic and market conditions in Spain and therefore in the United Kingdom abd the European Union. All these effects could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

In December 2015, the Argentine administration announced a plan to gradually reduce the exports tax payable on certain agricultural products. Export taxes on soy products and wheat, maize, sorghum and sunflower have since been eliminated in an attempt to increase agricultural production. However, this reliance on the export of certain commodities, such as soy, has made the Argentine economy more vulnerable to fluctuations in their prices. If international commodity prices decline, the Argentine government’s revenues would decrease significantly affecting Argentina’s economic activity. Accordingly, a decline in international commodity prices could adversely affect Argentina’s economy, which in turn would produce a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

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

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

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

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

As a first step of these measures, subsidies on energy tariffs were withdrawn from industries and high income consumers. Additionally, since 2011, a series of rate increases and the reduction of subsidies mainly among industries and high-income consumers were implemented. On December 17, 2015 and after the publication of Decree No. 134/2015, the new government declared the National Electricity System Emergency until December 31, 2017, and ordered the Energy and Mining Ministry to prepare and propose measures and guarantee the electrical supply in suitable technical conditions. Within this context, and by the Energy and Mining Ministry Resolution No. 06/2016 of January 2016, the new seasonal reference prices for power and energy in the “Mercado Electrónico Mayorista” were issued for the period from February 1, 2016 and April 30, 2016. The objective of the aforementioned resolution was to adjust the quality and security of electricity supply and ensure the provision of public electricity services under technical and economically appropriate conditions.

In February 2016, the Argentine government revised the tariff schedule for electricity and gas rates and eliminated the subsidies for these utilities that would have resulted in increases in energy costs of 500% or more, except for tariffs for certain lower income consumers. By correcting tariffs, modifying the regulatory framework and reducing the federal government’s involvement in the energy sector, the Macri administration aims to correct distortions in the energy sector and stimulate necessary investment. In July 2016, a federal court in the city of La Plata suspended the increase in gas tariffs across the Province of Buenos Aires. In addition, on August 3, 2016, a federal court in San Martín suspended the increase in gas tariffs across the country until a public hearing to discuss the electricity tariff increase was held. The case was appealed, and heard by, the Supreme Court on August 18, 2016, which court agreed that the gas tariff increases to residential customers could not be imposed without public hearings. A public hearing was held on September 16, 2016, where it was agreed that the gas tariffs would be increased approximately 200% in October 2016, with semi-annual increases until 2019.

In relation to other services, including electricity, on October 28, 2016, a public hearing was held to consider a 31% increase in tariffs requested by power distributors. Afterwards, the government announced electricity tariff increases that will raise customers’ invoices 60% to 148%. In addition, on March 31, 2017, the Energy Ministry reported a new tariff schedule with increases of approximately 36% for the supply of natural gas for networks that have been partially regulated since April 1, 2017, and which will have two additional adjustments in November and April of 2018. On September 22, 2017, the Ministry of Energy and Mines announced the release of the fuel price, where oil companies could modify the sale price of their fuels for consumption in the automotive market, wich was effective as of October, 2017.This change in the regulatory framework and the fixing of new economic values in the supply of gas and electricity could change our cost structure, increasing the operating and utilities costs inherent to fixed assets.

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

Over the last several years, the Argentine government has substantially increased public expenditures. In 2014, public sector expenditures increased 43% as compared to 2013 and the government reported a primary fiscal deficit of 0.9%. During recent years, the Argentine government has resorted to the Central Bank and to the Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social , or “ANSES,” to source part of its funding requirements. In 2015, this trend continued as the primary fiscal balance showed a deficit of 5.4% as of December 31, 2015.

The Argentine government has begun to adopt measures to reduce the deficit, adjusting its subsidy policies, particularly those related to energy, electricity and gas, water and public transportation, among other measures. On December 31, 2016, the primary fiscal result was Ps.359,382 million, which represents a deficit of 4.6% of GDP. Changes in these policies could materially and adversely impact consumer purchase capacity and economic activity and may lead to an increase in prices.

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

Failure to adequately address actual and perceived risks of institutional deterioration and corruption may adversely affect Argentina’s economy and financial condition.

A lack of institutional framework and notorious incidents of corruption have been identified as, and continue to be, a significant problem for Argentina. In Transparency International’s 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index of 167 countries, Argentina was ranked 107, the same as in 2014. In the World Bank’s Doing Business 2016 report, Argentina ranked 121 out of 189 countries, up from 124 in 2015. Recognizing that the failure to address these issues could increase the risk of political instability, distort decision-making processes and adversely affecting Argentina’s international reputation and ability to attract foreign investment, the Macri administration has announced several measures aimed at strengthening Argentina’s institutions and reducing corruption. These measures include entering plea bargaining arrangements with convicted officials providing increased access to public information, seizing assets from convicted officials, increasing the powers of the Anticorruption Office (Oficina Anticorrupción) and adopting a new public ethics law, among others. The government’s ability to implement these initiatives is uncertain as it would require the involvement of the judiciary branch as well as legislative support from opposition parties. We cannot assure you that the implementation of such measures will be successful.

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

In response to the emergency measures implemented by the Argentine government during the 2001-2002 economic crisis, a number of claims were filed before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, or “ICSID,” against Argentina. Claimants allege that the emergency measures were inconsistent with the fair and equitable treatment standards set forth in various bilateral investment treaties by which Argentina was bound at the time. Claimants have also filed claims before arbitral tribunals under the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, or “UNCITRAL,” and under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce, or “ICC.” As of the date of this annual report, it is not certain that Argentina will prevail in having any or all of these cases dismissed, or that if awards in favor of the plaintiffs are granted, that it will succeed in having those awards annulled. Ongoing claims before the ICSID tribunal and other arbitral tribunals could lead to new awards against Argentina, which could have a material adverse effect on our capacity to access international credit or equity markets.

The Argentine government may lack of political support on the Senator and Deputies Chambers and that may have a negative impact on argentiniean economy and, subsequently affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The legislative elections held on October 22, 2017 for the partial renovation of both chambers of the Congress had a favorable outcome for the Macri government. Macri administration outnumbered its opponents in some of the most important districts of Argentina, making it the most voted force nationwide, but do not have enough seats to reach the quorum in either of the chambers which could prevent or limit the Macri government to continue its policies and effectively implement economic reforms or react appropriately in future circumstances.

A lack of political support that prevents the Macri administration from fully implementing its agenda may adversely affect the Argentine economy and financial condition and, therefore, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Brazil

The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy, which, combined with Brazilian political and economic conditions, may adversely affect us.

Our business is dependent to a large extent on the economic conditions in Brazil. From June 30, 2011 we consolidate our financial statements with our subsidiary Brasilagro-Companhia Brasileira de Propiedades Agricolas (“Brasilagro”).

We may be adversely affected by the following factors, as well as the Brazilian federal government’s response to these factors:

●

economic and social instability;

●

increase in interest rates;

●

exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad;

●

restrictions and taxes on agricultural exports;

●

exchange rate fluctuations;

●

inflation;

●

volatility and liquidity in domestic capital and credit markets;

●

expansion or contraction of the Brazilian economy, as measured by GDP growth rates;

●

allegations of corruption against political parties, elected officials or other public officials, including allegations made in relation to the Lava Jato investigation;

●

government policies related to our sector;

●

fiscal or monetary policy and amendments to tax legislation; and

●

other political, diplomatic, social or economic developments in or affecting Brazil.

Historically, the Brazilian government has frequently intervened in the Brazilian economy and has occasionally made significant changes in economic policies and regulations, including, among others, the imposition of a tax on foreign capital entering Brazil (IOF tax), changes in monetary, fiscal and tax policies, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports.

The Brazilian economy has been experiencing a slowdown – GDP growth rates were 3.9%, 1.8%, 2.7% and 0.1%, in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and GDP decreased 3.8% in 2015, 3.6% in 2016 and remained stable in the first six months of 2017. In addition, unemployment and interest rates have increased more recently.

As a result of the Lava Jato (Car Wash) operation related to corruption in Brazil, a number of senior politicians, including congressmen, and executive officers of some of the major state-owned companies in Brazil have resigned or been arrested while others are being investigated for allegations of unethical and illegal conduct. The matters that have come, and may continue to come, to light as a result of, or in connection with, the Lava Jato operation and other similar operations have adversely affected, and we expect that they will continue to adversely affect, the Brazilian economy, markets and trading prices of securities issued by Brazilian issuers in the near future.

Furthermore, the Brazilian economy continues to be subject to the effects of the outcome of the impeachment proceedings against former President Dilma Rousseff. On August 31, 2016, following a trial by the Senate, the former President was formally impeached. Vice-President Michel Temer was sworn in as the new President of Brazil until the next presidential election, due to take place in 2018. The president of Brazil has powers to determine policies and governmental acts relating to the Brazilian economy and, as a result, the operations and financial performance of companies may be affected, including ours. Political uncertainty remains as to whether Mr. Temer will gain the support of Congress for future policies announced by his cabinet. In addition, Mr. Temer has been the target of general protests throughout Brazil and is also currently under investigation for alleged unethical and illegal behavior under the Lava Jato investigation and alleged illegal campaign financing during Mr. Temer’s 2014 campaign for endorsing the bribing of the former head of the Congress who has been convicted, which could result in his removal from office. In addition, a number of requests for impeachment have been filed against Mr. Temer, as well as criminal by the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor’s Office, which could also result in his removal from office, after allegations surfaced that Mr. Temer had allegedly been leading a political corruption related criminal organization.

The ultimate outcome of these investigations is uncertain, but they have already had an adverse effect on the image and reputation of the implicated companies, and on the general market perception of the Brazilian economy, the political environment and the Brazilian capital markets. The development of these investigations has affected and may continue to adversely affect us. We cannot predict if these investigations will bring further political or economic instability to Brazil, or if new allegations will be raised against high-level members of the Brazilian federal government. In addition, we cannot predict the results of these investigations, nor their effects on the Brazilian economy.

Inflation, coupled with the Brazilian government’s measures to fight inflation, may hinder Brazilian economic growth and increase interest rates, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Brazil has in the past experienced significantly high rates of inflation. As a result, the Brazilian government adopted monetary policies that resulted in Brazilian interest rates being among the highest in the world. The Brazilian Central Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee ( Comitê de Política Monetária do Banco Central ), or COPOM, establishes an official interest rate target for the Brazilian financial system based on the level of economic growth, inflation rate and other economic indicators in Brazil. Between 2004 and 2010, the official Brazilian interest rate varied from 19.75% to 8.75% per year. In response to an increase in inflation in 2010, the Brazilian government increased the official Brazilian interest rate, the SELIC rate, which was 10.75% per year on December 31, 2010. The Special System for Settlement and Custody ( Sistema Especial de Liquidação e Custódia , or “SELIC”) rate has increased since then and, as of June 30, 2017, it was 10.81% per year. The inflation rates, as measured by the General Market Price Index ( Índice Geral de Preços-Mercado ), or IGP-M, and calculated by Fundação Getúlio Vargas , or FGV, were 3.67% in 2014, 10.54% in 2015, and 7.18% in 2016. Cumulative inflation in the first six months of 2017, calculated by the same index, was 1.96%.

Inflation and the government measures to fight inflation have had and may continue to have significant effects on the Brazilian economy and our business. In addition, the Brazilian government’s measures to control inflation have often included maintaining a tight monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and slowing economic growth. On the other hand, an easing of monetary policies of the Brazilian government may trigger increases in inflation. In the event of an increase in inflation, we may not be able to adjust our daily rates to offset the effects of inflation on our cost structure, which may materially and adversely affect us.

An increase in interest rates may have a significant adverse effect on us. In addition, as of June 30, 2017, certain of our loans were subject to interest rate fluctuations such as the Brazilian long-term interest rate ( Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo ), or TJLP, and the interbank deposit rate ( Certificados de Depósitos Interbancários ), or CDI. In the event of an abrupt increase in interest rates, our ability to comply with our financial obligations may be materially and adversely affected.

A deterioration in general economic and market conditions or in perceptions of risk in other countries, principally in emerging countries or the United States, may have a negative impact on the Brazilian economy and us.

Economic and market conditions in other countries, including United States and Latin American and other emerging market countries, may affect the Brazilian economy and the market for securities issued by Brazilian companies. Although economic conditions in these countries may differ significantly from those in Brazil, investors’ reactions to developments in these other countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of Brazilian issuers. Crises in other emerging market countries could dampen investor enthusiasm for securities of Brazilian issuers or issuers with Brazilian operations, including ours, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. In the past, the adverse development of economic conditions in emerging markets resulted in a significant flow of funds out of the country and a decrease in the quantity of foreign capital invested in Brazil. Changes in the prices of securities of public companies, lack of available credit, reductions in spending, general slowdown of the global economy, exchange rate instability and inflationary pressure may adversely affect, directly or indirectly, the Brazilian economy and securities market. Global economic downturns and related instability in the international financial system have had, and may continue to have, a negative effect on economic growth in Brazil. Global economic downturns reduce the availability of liquidity and credit to fund the continuation and expansion of business operations worldwide.

In addition, the Brazilian economy is affected by international economic and market conditions generally, especially economic conditions in the United States. Share prices on B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, or B3, for example, have historically been sensitive to fluctuations in U.S. interest rates and the behavior of the major U.S. stock indexes. An increase in interest rates in other countries, especially the United States, may reduce global liquidity and investors’ interest in the Brazilian capital markets, adversely affecting the price of our common shares.

Risks Relating to Countries Where We Operate

Our business is dependent on economic conditions in the countries where we operate or intend to operate.

We have made investments in farmland in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia and we may possibly make investments in other countries in and outside Latin America , as Israel and United States, among others. Owing that demand for livestock and agricultural products is usually correlated to economic conditions prevailing in the local market, which in turn is dependent on the macroeconomic condition of the country in which the market is located, our financial condition and results of operations are, to a considerable extent, dependent upon political and economic conditions prevailing from time to time in the countries where we operate. Latin American countries have historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth, as well as recession, periods of high inflation and economic instability. Certain countries have experienced severe economic crises, which may still have future effects. As a result, governments may not have the necessary financial resources to implement reforms and foster growth. Any of these adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We face the risk of political and economic crises, instability, terrorism, civil strife, expropriation and other risks of doing business in emerging markets.

In addition to Argentina and Brazil, we conduct or intend to conduct our operations in other Latin American countries such as, Paraguay and Bolivia, and other countries such as Israel, among others. Economic and political developments in the countries in which we operate, including future economic changes or crisis (such as inflation or recession), government deadlock, political instability, terrorism, civil strife, changes in laws and regulations, expropriation or nationalization of property, and exchange controls could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In particular, fluctuations in the economies of Argentina and Brazil and actions adopted by the governments of those countries have had and may continue to have a significant impact on companies operating in those countries, including us. Specifically, we have been affected and may continue to be affected by inflation, increased interest rates, fluctuations in the value of the Argentine Peso and Brazilian Real against foreign currencies, price and foreign exchange controls, regulatory policies, business and tax regulations and in general by the political, social and economic scenarios in Argentina and Brazil and in other countries that may affect Argentina and Brazil.

Although economic conditions in one country may differ significantly from another country, we cannot assure that events in one only country will not adversely affect our business or the market value of, or market for, our common shares and/or ADSs.

Governments in the countries where we operate or intend to operate exercise significant influence over their economies.

Emerging market governments, including governments in the countries where we operate, frequently intervene in the economies of their respective countries and occasionally make significant changes in monetary, credit, industry and other policies and regulations. Governmental actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by changes in government policies or regulations, including factors, such as:

●	exchange rates and exchange control policies;
●	inflation rates;
●	labor laws;
●	economic growth;
●	currency fluctuations;
●	monetary policy;
●	liquidity and solvency of the financial system;
●	limitations on ownership of rural land by foreigners;
●	developments in trade negotiations through the World Trade Organization or other international organizations;
●	environmental regulations;
●	restrictions on repatriation of investments and on the transfer of funds abroad;
●	expropriation or nationalization;
●	import/export restrictions or other laws and policies affecting foreign trade and investment;
●	price controls or price fixing regulations;
●	restrictions on land acquisition or use or agricultural commodity production
●	interest rates;
●	tariff and inflation control policies;
●	import duties on information technology equipment;
●	liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;
●	electricity rationing;
●	tax policies;
●	armed conflict or war declaration; and
●	other political, social and economic developments, including political, social or economic instability, in or affecting the country where each business is based.

Uncertainty over whether governments will implement changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the securities markets, which may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, an eventual reduction of foreign investment in any of the countries where we operate may have a negative impact on such country’s economy, affecting interest rates and the ability of companies to access financial markets.

Local currencies used in the conduct of our business are subject to exchange rate volatility and exchange controls.

The currencies of many Latin American countries have experienced substantial volatility in recent years. Currency movements, as well as higher interest rates, have materially and adversely affected the economies of many Latin American countries, including countries in which account for or are expected to account for a significant portion of our revenues. The depreciation of local currencies creates inflationary pressures that may have an adverse effect on us generally, and may restrict access to international capital markets. On the other hand, the appreciation of local currencies against the U.S. Dollar may lead to deterioration in the balance of payments of the countries where we operate, as well as to a lower economic growth.

The Argentine Peso depreciated 32.5% against the U.S. dollar in 2013, 31.2% in 2014, 52.1% in 2015 and 21.9% in 2016, based on the official exchange rates published by the Central Bank. In the past years, the Argentine government imposed restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency which measures gave rise to an unofficial market where the U.S. dollar traded at a different market value than reflected in the official Argentine Peso – U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Following national elections in Argentina in 2015, the newly elected Macri administration (the “Macri Administration”) changed the currency policy and lifted all of the restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency while at the same time officially depreciating the Argentine Peso, practically eliminating the gap between the official and unofficial exchange rates that coexisted during the previous years. We cannot predict future fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Argentine Peso or whether the Argentine government will change its currency policy.

The Brazilian currency has historically suffered frequent fluctuations. As a consequence of inflationary pressures, in the past, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and adopted a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly, floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. Formally the value of the Real against foreign currencies is determined under a free-floating exchange rate regime, but in fact the Brazilian government is currently intervening in the market, through currency swaps and trading in the spot market, among other measures, every time the currency exchange rate is above or below the levels that the Brazilian government considers appropriate, taking into account, inflation, growth, the performance of the Real against the U.S dollar in comparison with other currencies and other economic factors. Periodically, there are significant fluctuations in the value of the Real against the U.S. dollar. The Real depreciated 15.3% against the U.S. dollar in 2013, 12.52% in 2014, 49.04% in 2015, and in 2016 the Real appreciated 16.54% against U.S. dollar.

The Israeli currency did not suffer important fluctuations during the last years. During fiscal year 2017, NIS appreciated against the U.S. dollar by approximately 9.6%, while during fiscal year 2016 that currency depreciated by 2.2%. Likewise, during fiscal year 2015, NIS depreciated by 10.0%, while during fiscal year 2014, the same currency suffered an appreciation of 1.2%.

Future fluctuations in the value of the local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in the countries in which we operate may occur, and if such fluctuations were to occur in one or a combination of the countries in which we operate, our results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected.

In addition, we may be subject to exchange control regulations in these Latin American countries which might restrict our ability to convert local currencies into U.S. Dollars.

Inflation and certain government measures to curb inflation may have adverse effects on the economies of the countries where we operate or intend to operate our business and our operations.

In the past, high levels of inflation have adversely affected the economies and financial markets of some of the countries in which we operate, particularly Argentina and Brazil, and the ability of their governments to create conditions that stimulate or maintain economic growth. Moreover, governmental measures to curb inflation and speculation about possible future governmental measures have contributed to the negative economic impact of inflation and have created general economic uncertainty. As part of these measures, governments have at times maintained a restrictive monetary policy and high interest rates that has limited the availability of credit and economic growth.

A portion of our operating costs in Argentina are denominated in Argentine Pesos, most of our operating costs in Brazil are denominated in Brazilian Reais and most of our operating costs in Israel are nominated in NIS. Inflation in Argentina, Brazil or Israel without a corresponding Peso, Real or NIS devaluation, could result in an increase in our operating costs without a commensurate increase in our revenues, which could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to pay our foreign currency denominated obligations.

After several years of price stability in Argentina, the devaluation of the Peso in January 2002 imposed pressures on the domestic price system that generated high inflation throughout 2002. In 2003, inflation decreased significantly and stabilized. However, in recent years, encouraged by the pace of economic growth, according to the Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas y Censos, or “INDEC” (Argentine Statistics and Census Agency), the consumer price index increased by 9.5% in 2011, 10.8% in 2012, and 10.9% in 2013; while the wholesale price index increased 10.3% in 2009, 14.6% in 2010, 12.7% in 2011, 13.1% in 2012, 14.7% in 2013 and 28.3% in 2014. The accuracy of the measurements of the INDEC has been questioned in the past, and the actual consumer price index and wholesale price index could be substantially higher than those indicated by the INDEC. See “—Risks Related to Argentina— There are concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation statistics.”

In February 2014 the INDEC modified the methodology for the calculation of the consumer price index (“CPI”) and the gross domestic product. Under the new calculation methodology, the CPI increased by 23.9% in 2014 and 11.9% as of October 2015 (for the first nine months of 2015). However, opposition lawmakers reported an inflation rate of 38.5% and 27.5%, respectively. In December 2015, the Macri administration appointed a former director of a private consulting firm to manage the INDEC. The new director initially suspended the publication of any official data prepared by INDEC and implemented certain methodological reforms and adjusted certain indices based on those reforms. In January 25, 2016, INDEC published two alternative measures of the CPI for the year 2015, 29.6% and 31.6%, which were based on data from the City of Buenos Aires and the Province of San Luis. After implementing these methodological reforms in June 2016, the INDEC resumed its publication of the consumer price index. According to INDEC, Argentina´s rate of inflation for January, February, March, April, May, June, and July and August 2017 were 1.3%, 2.5%, 2.4% 2.6%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively.

Brazil has historically experienced high rates of inflation. Inflation, as well as government efforts to curb inflation, has had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy, particularly prior to 1995. Inflation rates were 7.8% in 2007 and 9.8% in 2008, compared to deflation of 1.7% in 2009, inflation of 11.3% in 2010, inflation of 5.1% in 2011, inflation of 7.8% in 2012, inflation of 5.5% in 2013, inflation of 3.7% in 2014, inflation of 10.5% in 2015, and 7.2% accumulated in the year ended on December 31, 2016, as measured by the General Market Price Index (Indice Geral de Preços — Mercado), compiled by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (Fundação Getúlio Vargas). A significant proportion of our cash costs and our operating expenses are denominated in Brazilian Reais and tend to increase with Brazilian inflation. The Brazilian government’s measures to control inflation have in the past included maintaining a tight monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and reducing economic growth. This policy has changed in the last two years, when the Brazilian government decreased the interest rate by 525 basis points. Subsequently, the high inflation, arising from the lower interest rate, and the intention to maintain this rate at low levels, led the Brazilian government to adopt other measures to control inflation, such as tax relief for several sectors of the economy and tax cuts for the products included in the basic food basket. These measures were not sufficient to control the inflation, which led the Brazilian government to reinstate a tighter monetary policy. As a result, interest rates have fluctuated significantly. The SELIC interest rate in Brazil at year-end was 10.0% in 2013, 11.75% in 2014, 14.25% in 2015 as determined by the Comitê de Política Monetária, or COPOM. In the quarter ended on December 31, 2016, the SELIC was 13.75%.

Argentina and/or Brazil may experience high levels of inflation in the future, which may impact domestic demand for our products. Inflationary pressures may also weaken investor confidence in Argentina and/or Brazil, curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and lead to further government intervention in the economy, including interest rate increases, restrictions on tariff adjustments to offset inflation, intervention in foreign exchange markets and actions to adjust or fix currency values, which may trigger or exacerbate increases in inflation, and consequently have an adverse impact on us. In an inflationary environment, the value of uncollected accounts receivable, as well as of unpaid accounts payable, declines rapidly. If the countries in which we operate experience high levels of inflation in the future and price controls are imposed, we may not be able to adjust the rates we charge our customers to fully offset the impact of inflation on our cost structures, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

Depreciation of the Peso or the Real relative to the U.S. Dollar or the Euro may also create additional inflationary pressures in Argentina or Brazil that may negatively affect us. Depreciation generally curtails access to foreign financial markets and may prompt government intervention, including recessionary governmental policies. Depreciation also reduces the U.S. Dollar or Euro value of dividends and other distributions on our common shares and the U.S. Dollar or Euro equivalent of the market price of our common shares. Any of the foregoing might adversely affect our business, operating results, and cash flow, as well as the market price of our common shares.

Conversely, in the short term, a significant increase in the value of the Peso or the Real against the U.S. Dollar would adversely affect the respective Argentine and/or Brazilian government’s income from exports. This could have a negative effect on GDP growth and employment and could also reduce the public sector’s revenues in those countries by reducing tax collection in real terms, as a portion of public sector revenues are derived from the collection of export taxes.

Developments in other markets may affect the Latin American countries where we operate or intend to operate, and as a result our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The market value of securities of companies such as us may be, to varying degrees, affected by economic and market conditions in other global markets. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investors’ perception of the events occurring in one country may substantially affect capital flows into and securities from issuers in other countries, including latin american countries. Various Latin American economies have been adversely impacted by the political and economic events thatoccurred in several emerging economies in recent times. Furthermore, Latin American economies may be affected by events in developed economies which are trading partners or that impact the global economy and adversely affect our activities and the results of our operations.

Land in Latin American countries may be subject to expropriation or occupation.

Our land may be subject to expropriation by the governments of the countries where we operate and intend to operate. An expropriation could materially impair the normal use of our lands or have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, social movements, such as Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra and Comissão Pastoral da Terra in Brazil , are active in certain countries where we operate or intend to operate. Such movements advocate land reform and mandatory property redistribution by governments. Invasions and occupations of rural areas by a large number of individuals is common practice for these movements, and, in certain areas, including some of those in which we are likely to invest, police protection and effective eviction proceedings are not available to land owners. As a result, we cannot assure you that our properties will not be subject to invasion or occupation. A land invasion or occupation could materially affect the normal use of our properties or have a material adverse effect on us or the value of our common shares and our ADSs.

We may invest in countries other than Argentina and Brazil and cannot give you any assurance as to the countries in which we will ultimately invest, and we could fail to list all risk factors for each possible country.

We have a broad and opportunistic business strategy therefore we may invest in countries other than Argentina, Brazil and Israel including countries in other emerging markets outside Latin America (e.g., Africa). As a result, it is not possible at this time to identify all risk factors that may affect our future operations and the value of our common shares and ADSs.

Disruption of transportation and logistics services or insufficient investment in public infrastructure could adversely affect our operating results.

One of the principal disadvantages of the agricultural sector in the countries in which we operate is that key growing regions lie far from major ports. As a result, efficient access to transportation infrastructure and ports is critical to the growth of agriculture as a whole in the countries in which we operate and of our operations in particular. Improvements in transportation infrastructure are likely to be required to make more agricultural production accessible to export terminals at competitive prices. A substantial portion of agricultural production in the countries in which we operate is currently transported by truck, a means of transportation significantly more expensive than the rail transportation available to U.S. and other international producers. Our dependence on truck transportation may affect our position as a low-cost producer so that our ability to compete in the world markets may be impaired.

Even though road and rail improvement projects have been considered for some areas of Brazil, and in some cases implemented, substantial investments are required for road and rail improvement projects, which may not be completed on a timely basis, if at all. Any delay or failure in developing infrastructure systems could reduce the demand for our products, impede our products’ delivery or impose additional costs on us. We currently outsource the transportation and logistics services necessary to operate our business. Any disruption in these services could result in supply problems at our farms and processing facilities and impair our ability to deliver our products to our customers in a timely manner.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Fluctuation in market prices for our agriculture products could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Prices for cereals, oilseeds and by-products, like those of other commodities, have historically been cyclical and sensitive to domestic and international changes in supply and demand and can be expected to fluctuate significantly. In addition, the agricultural products and by-products we produce are traded on commodities and futures exchanges and thus are subject to speculative trading, which may adversely affect us. The prices that we are able to obtain for our agriculture products depend on many factors beyond our control, including:

●	prevailing world prices, which historically have been subject to significant fluctuations over relatively short periods of time, depending on worldwide demand and supply;
●	changes in the agricultural subsidy levels in certain important countries (mainly the United States and countries in the European Union) and the adoption of other government policies affecting industry market conditions and prices;
●	changes to trade barriers of certain important consumer markets (including China, India, the U.S. and the E.U.) and the adoption of other governmental policies affecting industry market conditions and prices;
●	changes in government policies for biofuels;
●	world inventory levels, i.e., the supply of commodities carried over from year to year;
●	climatic conditions and natural disasters in areas where agricultural products are cultivated;
●	the production capacity of our competitors; and
●	demand for and supply of competing commodities and substitutes.

Our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if the prices of our agricultural products decline.

Unpredictable weather conditions, pest infestations and diseases may have an adverse impact on our crop yields and cattle production.

The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail, or floods, is unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact upon our crop production and, to a lesser extent, our cattle and wool production, and may otherwise adversely affect the supply and price of the agricultural commodities that we sell and use in our business. The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions may reduce yields on our farmlands or require us to increase our level of investment to maintain yields. Additionally, higher than average temperatures and rainfall can contribute to an increased presence of pest and insects that may adversely impact our agricultural production.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) estimates, Argentina’s crops output (wheat, corn and soybean) for the 2016/2017 season is expected to increse by 12.3%, reaching a production of 108 million tons, as compared to the previous cycle. The forecast shows mainly an increase in the planted area, with a focus on wheat and corn, which is additionally enhanced by a slightly better expected yield in comparison with the 2015/2016 campaign. The estimated production of soybean is supposed to reach 57 million tons, the wheat production 14.4 million tons and the corn production 36.5 million tons.

The occurrence and effects of disease and plagues can be unpredictable and devastating to agricultural products, potentially rendering all or a substantial portion of the affected harvests unsuitable for sale. Our agricultural products are also susceptible to fungus and bacteria that are associated with excessively moist conditions. Even when only a portion of the production is damaged, our results of operations could be adversely affected because all or a substantial portion of the production costs have been incurred. Although some diseases are treatable, the cost of treatment is high, and we cannot assure you that such events in the future will not adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, if we fail to control a given plague or disease and our production is threatened, we may be unable to supply our main customers, which could affect our results of operations and financial condition.

As a result, we cannot assure you that the current and future severe adverse weather conditions or pest infestations will not adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our cattle are subject to diseases.

Diseases among our cattle herds, such as mastitis, tuberculosis, brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease, can have an adverse effect on milk production and fattening, rendering cows unable to produce milk or meat for human consumption. Outbreaks of cattle diseases may also result in the closure of certain important markets, such as the United States, to our cattle products. Although we abide by national veterinary health guidelines, which include laboratory analyses and vaccination, to control diseases among the herds, especially foot-and-mouth disease, we cannot assure that future outbreaks of cattle diseases will not occur. A future outbreak of diseases among our cattle herds may adversely affect our cattle and milk sales which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We may be exposed to material losses due to volatile crop prices since a significant portion of our production is not hedged, and exposed to crop price risk.

Due to the fact that we do not have all of our crops hedged, we are unable to have minimum price guarantees for all of our production and are therefore exposed to significant risks associated with the level and volatility of crop prices. We are subject to fluctuations in crop prices which could result in receiving a lower price for our crops than our production cost. We are also subject to exchange rate risks related to our crops that are hedged, because our futures and options positions are valued in U.S. Dollars, and thus are subject to exchange rate risk.

In addition, if severe weather or any other disaster generates a lower crop production than the position already sold in the market, we may suffer material losses in the repurchase of the sold contracts.

The creation of new export taxes may have an adverse impact on our sales and results of operations.

In order to prevent inflation and variations in the exchange rate from adversely affecting prices of primary and manufactured products (including agricultural products), and to increase tax collections and reduce Argentina’s fiscal deficit, the Argentine government has imposed new taxes on exports. Pursuant to Resolution No. 11/02 of the Ministry of Economy and Production, as amended by Resolution No. 35/02, No. 160/2002, No. 307/2002 and No. 530/2002, effective as of March 5, 2002, the Argentine government imposed a 20%, 10% and 5% export tax on primary and manufactured products. On November 12, 2005, pursuant to Resolution No. 653/2005, the Ministry of Economy and Production increased the tax on cattle exports from 5% to 10%, and on January 2007 increased the tax on soybean exports from 23.5% to 27.5%. Pursuant to Resolutions No. 368/07 and No. 369/07 both dated November 12, 2007, theMinistry of Economy and Production further increased the tax on soybean exports from 27.5% to 35.0% and also the tax on wheat and corn exports from 20.0% to 28.0% and from 20.0% to 25.0%, respectively. In early March 2008, the Argentine government introduced a regime of sliding –scale export tariffs for oilseed, grains and by-products, where the withholding rate (in percentage) would increase to the same extent as the crops’ price. Therefore, it imposed an average tax for soybean exports of 46%, compared to the previous fixed rate of 35%. In addition, the tax on exports of wheat was increased, from a fixed rate of 28% to an average variable rate of 38%, and the tax on exports of corn changed from a fixed rate of 25% to an average variable rate of 36%.

This tariff regime, which according to farmers effectively sets a maximum price for their crops, sparked widespread strikes and protests by farmers whose exports have been one of the principal driving forces behind Argentina’s recent growth. In April 2008, as a result of the export tariff regime, farmers staged a 21-day strike in which, among other things, roadblocks were set up throughout the country, triggering Argentina’s most significant political crisis in five years. These protests disrupted transport and economic activity, which led to food shortages, a surge in inflation and a drop in export registrations. Finally, the federal executive branch decided to send the new regime of sliding-scale export tariffs to the federal congress for its approval. The project was approved in the lower chamber of the national congress but rejected by the Senate. Subsequently, the federal government abrogated the regime of sliding-scale export tariffs and reinstated the previous scheme of fixed withholdings.

In December 2015, the government of Mauricio Macri announced the reduction of 35 to 30% of export duties on soybean and the removing of all of the export duties for the rest of the products. To the date, the Argentine government is analyzing the possibility of reducing again the tax for soybean exports. In addition, Decree 1343/17 implemented a monthly reduction of 0.5% of the export duty in force on soybean, wheat and soybean oil from January 2018 to December 2019 inclusive.

Export taxes may have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations. We produce exportable goods and, therefore, an increase in export taxes is likely to result in a decrease in our products’ price, and, therefore, may result in a decrease of our sales. We cannot guarantee the impact of those or any other future measures that might be adopted by the Argentine government on our financial condition and result of operations.

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

The most recent international credit crisis that started in 2008 had a significant negative impact on businesses around the world. Although we believe that available borrowing capacity under the current conditions and proceeds resulting from potential farmland sales will provide us with sufficient liquidity through the current economic environment, the impact of the crisis on our major customers cannot be predicted and may be quite severe. A disruption in the ability of our significant customers to access liquidity could cause serious disruptions or an overall deterioration of their businesses which could lead to a reduction in their future orders of our products and the inability or failure on their part to meet their payment obligations to us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity.

Government intervention in the markets may have a direct impact on our prices.

The Argentine government has set certain industry market conditions and prices in the past. In order to prevent a substantial increase in the price of basic products as a result of inflation, the Argentine government is adopting an interventionist policy. In March 2002, the Argentine government fixed the price for milk after a conflict among producers and the government. Since 2005, the Argentine government, in order to increase the domestic availability of beef and reduce domestic prices, adopted several measures: it increased turnover tax and established a minimum average number of animals to be slaughtered. In March 2006, the registries for beef exports were temporarily suspended. This last measure was softened once prices decreased. There can be no assurance that the Argentine government will not interfere in other areas by setting prices or regulating other market conditions. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to freely negotiate all our products’ prices in the future or that the prices or other market conditions that the Argentine government could impose will allow us to freely negotiate the price of our products.

We do not maintain insurance over all our crop storage facilities; therefore, if a fire or other disaster damages some or all of our harvest, we will not be completely covered.

Our production is, in general, subject to different risks and hazards, including adverse weather conditions, fires, diseases, pest infestations and other natural phenomena. We store a significant portion of our grain production during harvest due to the seasonal drop in prices that normally occurs at that time. Currently, we store a significant portion of our grain production in plastic silos. We do not maintain insurance on our plastic silos. Although our plastic silos are placed in several different locations, and it is unlikely that a natural disaster affects all of them simultaneously, a fire or other natural disaster which damages the stored grain, particularly if such event occurs shortly after harvesting, could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

W orldwide competition in the markets for our products could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We experience substantial worldwide competition in each of our markets in which we operate, and in many of our product lines. The market for cereals, oil seeds and by-products is highly competitive and also sensitive to changes in industry capacity, producer inventories and cyclical changes in the world’s economies, any of which may significantly affect the selling prices of our products and thereby our profitability. Argentina is more competitive in the oilseed market than in the market for cereals. Due to the fact that many of our products are agricultural commodities, they compete in the international markets almost exclusively on the basis of price. The market for commodities is highly fragmented. Small producers can also be important competitors, some of which operate in the informal economy and are able to offer lower prices by meeting lower quality standards. Competition from other producers is a barrier to expanding our sales in the domestic/foreign market. Many other producers of these products are larger than us, and have greater financial and other resources. Moreover, many otherproducers receive subsidies from their respective countries while we do not receive any such subsidies from the Argentine government. These subsidies may allow producers from other countries to produce at lower costs than us and/or endure periods of low prices and operating losses for longer periods than we can. Any increased competitive pressure with respect to our products could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Social movements may affect the use of our agricultural properties or cause damage to them.

Social movements, such as the Landless Rural Workers’ Movement ( Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra ) and the Pastoral Land Commission ( Comissão Pastoral da Terra ) are active in Brazil and advocate land reform and property redistribution by the Brazilian government. Invasion and occupation of agricultural land by large numbers of people is a common practice among the members of such movements and, in certain regions, including those where we currently invest, remedies such as police protection or eviction procedures are inadequate or non-existent. As a result, we cannot assure you that our agricultural properties will not be subject to invasion or occupation by any social movement. Any invasion or occupation may materially impair the use of our lands and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we are unable to maintain our relationships with our customers, particularly with the single customer who purchases our entire raw milk production each month, our business may be adversely affected.

Our cattle sales are diversified but we are and will continue to be significantly dependent on a number of third party relationships, mainly with our customers for crop and milk sales. During the fiscal year 2017, we sold our products to approximately 500 customers. Sales of agricultural products to our ten largest customers represented approximately 45% to 50 % of our net agricultural sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Of these customers, our most important customers were Cargill S.A.C.I., Granos Olavarria, Bunge Alimentos S. A. and Amaggi & LD Commodities S.A.

We sell our crop production mainly to exporters and manufacturers that process the raw materials to produce meal and oil, products that are sent to the export markets. The Argentine crop market is characterized by a few purchasers and a great number of sellers. Although most of the purchasers are international companies with strong financial conditions, we cannot assure you that this situation will remain the same in the future or this market will not get more concentrated in the future.

We may not be able to maintain or form new relationships with customers or others who provide products and services that are important to our business. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our existing or prospective relationships will result in sustained business or the generation of significant revenues.

Our business is seasonal, and our revenues may fluctuate significantly depending on the growing cycle.

Our agricultural business is highly seasonal due to its nature and cycle. The harvest and sale of crops (corn, soybean and sunflower) generally occurs from February to June. Wheat is harvested from December to January. Our operations and sales are affected by the growing cycle of the crops we process and by decreases during the summer in the price of the cattle we fatten. As a result, our results of operations have varied significantly from period to period, and are likely to continue to vary, due to seasonal factors.

A substantial portion of our assets is farmland that is highly illiquid.

We have been successful in partially rotating and monetizing a portion of our investments in farmland. Ownership of a significant portion of the land we operate is a key part of our business model. However, agricultural real estate is generally an illiquid asset. Moreover, the adoption of laws and regulations that impose limitations on ownership of rural land by foreigners in the jurisdictions in which we operate may also limit the liquidity of our farmland holdings. See “—Risks Related to Argentina— The Rural Land Law and its application.” As a result, it is unlikely that we will be able to adjust our owned agricultural real estate portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic, business or regulatory conditions. Illiquidity in local market conditions may adversely affect our ability to complete dispositions, to receive proceeds generated from any such sales or to repatriate any such proceeds.

The restrictions imposed on our subsidiaries’ dividend payments may adversely affect us.

We have subsidiaries, and therefore, dividends in cash and other permitted payments of our subsidiaries constitute a major source of our income. The debt agreements of our subsidiaries contain covenants that may restrict their ability to pay dividends or proceed with other types of distributions. If our subsidiaries are prevented from making payments to us or if they are only allowed to pay limited amounts, we may be unable to pay dividends or to repay our indebtedness.

We could be materially and adversely affected by our investment in Brasilagro.

We consolidated our financial statements with our subsidiary Brasilagro. Brasilagro was formed on September 23, 2005 to exploit opportunities in the Brazilian agricultural sector. Brasilagro seeks to acquire and develop future properties to produce a diversified range of agricultural products (which may include sugarcane, grains, cotton, forestry products and livestock). Brasilagro is a startup company that has been operating since 2006. As a result, it has a developing business strategy and limited track record. Brasilagro’s business strategy may not be successful, and if not successful, Brasilagro may be unable to successfully modify its strategy. Brasilagro’s ability to implement its proposed business strategy may be materially and adversely affected by many known and unknown factors. If we were to write-off our investments in Brasilagro, this would likely materially and adversely affect our business. As of June 30, 2017, we owned 42.44% of the outstanding common shares of Brasilagro.

We are subject to extensive environmental regulation.

Our activities are subject to a wide set of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, which impose various environmental obligations. Obligations include compulsory maintenance of certain preserved areas in our properties, management of pesticides and associated hazardous waste and the acquisition of permits for water use. Our proposed business is likely to involve the handling and use of hazardous materials that may cause the emission of certain regulated substances. In addition, the storage and processing of our products may create hazardous conditions. We could be exposed to criminal and administrative penalties, in addition to the obligation to remedy the adverse effects of our operations on the environment and to indemnify third parties for damages, including the payment of penalties for non-compliance with these laws and regulations. Since environmental laws and their enforcement are becoming more stringent in Argentina, our capital expenditures and expenses for environmental compliance may substantially increase in the future. In addition, due to the possibility of future regulatory or other developments, the amount and timing of environmental-related capital expenditures and expenses may vary substantially from those currently anticipated. The cost of compliance with environmental regulation may result in reductions of other strategic investments which may consequently decrease our profits. Any material unforeseen environmental costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

As of June 30, 2017, we owned land reserves extending over more than 360,386 hectares that were purchased at very attractive prices. In addition, we have a concession over 108,095 hectares reserved for future development. We believe that there are technological tools available to improve productivity in these farmlands 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.

Increased energy prices and fuel shortages could adversely affect our operations.

We require substantial amounts of fuel oil and other resources for our harvest activities and transport of our agricultural products. We rely upon third parties for our supply of the energy resources consumed in our operations. The prices for and availability of energy resources may be subject to change or curtailment, respectively, dueto, among other things, new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, worldwide price levels and market conditions. The prices of various sources of energy may increase significantly from current levels. An increase in energy prices could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Over the last few years, the Argentine government has taken certain measures in order to reduce the use of energy during peak months of the year by frequently cutting energy supply to industrial facilities and large consumers to ensure adequate supply for residential buildings. Also, the Macri administration in Argentina has declared a state of emergency with respect to the national energysystem until December 31, 2017. The state of emergency will allow the Macri administration to take any action to ensure the supply of energy. A revision to the current subsidy policies has also been announced by the Macri administration. If energy supply is cut for an extended period of time and we are unable to find replacement sources at comparable prices, or at all, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We depend on our chairman and senior management.

Our success depends, to a significant extent, on the continued employment of Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, our chairman, and Alejandro G. Elsztain, our chief executive officer, and second vice-chairman. The loss of their services for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business. If our current principal shareholders were to lose their influence on the management of our business, our principal executive officers could resign or be removed from office.

Our future success also depends in part upon our ability to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel, or that any of our personnel will remain employed by us.

The Investment Company Act may limit our future activities.

Under Section 3(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), an investment company is defined in relevant part to include any company that owns or proposes to acquire investment securities that have a value exceeding 40% of such company’s unconsolidated total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items). Investments in minority interests of related entities as well as majority interests in consolidated subsidiaries which themselves are investment companies are included within the definition of “investment securities” for purposes of the 40% limit under the Investment Company Act.

Companies that are investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, and that do not qualify for an exemption from the provisions, are required to register with the SEC and are subject to substantial regulations with respect to capital structure, operations, transactions with affiliates and other matters. In the event such companies do not register under the Investment Company Act, they may not, among other things, conduct public offerings of their securities in the United States or engage in interstate commerce in the United States. Moreover, even if we desired to register with the SEC as an investment company, we could not do so without an order of the Commission because we are a non-U.S. corporation, and it is unlikely that the SEC would issue such an order.

In recent years we made a significant investment in the capital stock of IRSA. As of June 30, 2017, we owned approximately 63.38% of IRSA’s outstanding shares. Although we believe we are not an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act, our belief is subject to substantial uncertainty, and we cannot give you any assurance that we would not be determined to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. As a result, the uncertainty regarding our status under the Investment Company Act may adversely affect our ability to offer and sell securities in the United States or to U.S. persons. The U.S. capital markets have historically been an important source of funding for us, and our ability to obtain financing in the future may be adversely affected by a lack of access to the U.S. markets. If an exemption under the Investment Company Act is unavailable to us in the future and we desire to access the U.S. capital markets, our only recourse would be to file an application to the SEC for an exemption from the provisions of the Investment Company Act which is a lengthy and highly uncertain process.

Moreover, if we offer and sell securities in the United States or to U.S. persons and we were deemed to be an investment company under the investment company act and not exempted from the application of the Investment Company Act, contracts we enter into in violation of, or whose performance entails a violation of, the Investment Company Act, including any such securities, may not be enforceable against us.

We hold Argentine securities which might be more volatile than U.S. securities and carry a greater risk of default.

We currently have and in the past have had certain investments in Argentine government debt securities, corporate debt securities, and equity securities. In particular, we hold a significant interest in IRSA, an Argentine company that has suffered material losses, particularly during the fiscal years 2001 and 2002. Although our holding of these investments, excluding IRSA, tends to be short term, investments in such securities involve certain risks, including:

●

market volatility, higher than those typically associated with U.S. government and corporate securities; and

●

loss of principal.

Some of the issuers in which we have invested and may invest, including the Argentine government, have in the past experienced substantial difficulties in servicing their debt obligations, which have led to the restructuring of certain indebtedness. We cannot assure that the issuers in which we have invested or may invest will not be subject to similar or other difficulties in the future which may adversely affect the value of our investments in such issuers. In addition, such issuers and, therefore, such investments, are generally subject to many of the risks that are described in this section with respect to us, and, thus, could have little or no value.

Risks relating to our investment in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. (“IRSA”.)

We could be adversely affected by our investment in IRSA if its value declines.

Our investment in IRSA is exposed to the common risks generally inherent in investments in the real estate industry, many of which are outside IRSA’s control. Any of these risks could adversely and materially affect IRSA’s businesses, financial position and/or results of operations. Any available returns on capital expenditures associated with real estate are dependent upon sales volumes and/or revenues from leases and the expenses incurred. In addition, there are other factors that may adversely affect the performance and the value of a property, including the local economic conditions prevailing in the area where the property is located, macroeconomic conditions in Argentina and in the rest of the world, competition from other companies engaged in real estate development, IRSA’s ability to find lessees, non-performance by lessees and/or lease terminations, changes in legislation and in governmental regulations (including those governing the use of the properties, urban planning and real estate taxes), variations in interest rates (including the risk of an increase in interest rates causing a reduction in the sales of lots in properties intended for residential development) and the availability of funding. In addition, and given the relative illiquidity of the real estate market, IRSA could be unable to effectively respond to adverse market conditions and/or be compelled to undersell one or more of its properties. Broadly speaking, some significant expenses, such as debt services, real estate taxes and operating and maintenance costs do not fall when there are circumstances that reduce the revenues from an investment.

These factors and/or events could impair IRSA’s ability to respond to adverse changes in the returns on its investments thus causing a significant reduction in its financial position and/or the results of its operations, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position and the results of our operations.

IRSA is subject to risks inherent to the operation of shopping malls that may affect its profitability.

IRSA’s shopping malls are subject to various factors that affect their development, administration and profitability, including:

●

decline in IRSA’s lease prices or increases in levels of default by its tenants due to economic conditions, increases in interest rates and other factors out of its control;

●

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

●

the intrinsic attractiveness of the shopping mall;

●

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

●

the increasing competition from internet sales;

●

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

●

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

●

fluctuations in occupancy levels in the shopping malls.

An increase in IRSA’s operating costs, caused by inflation or by other factors, could have a material adverse effect on IRSA if its tenants are unable to pay higher rent as a result of increased expenses. Moreover, the shopping mall business is closely related to consumer spending and affected by prevailing economic conditions. All of the shopping malls and commercial properties, under Operations Center in Argentina, are located in Argentina, and, as a consequence, their business is vulnerable to recession and economic downturns in Argentina. For example, during the economic crisis in Argentina that began in 2001, consumer spending decreased significantly, and higher unemployment, political instability and high rates of inflation significantly reduced consumer spending and resulted in lower sales that led some tenants to shutdown. Persistently poor economic conditions in Argentina in the future could result in a decline in discretionary consumer spending which will likely have a material adverse effect on the revenues from shopping mall activity and thus on IRSA’s business.

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

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, 80% of IRSA’s sales from leases and services provided by the Shopping Malls segment were derived from shopping malls located in the City of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires area. In addition, all of IRSA’s office buildings are located in the City of Buenos Aires and a substantial portion of IRSA’s revenues in Argentina are derived from such properties. Although IRSA owns properties and may acquire or develop additional properties outside of the City of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires area, the Company expects to continue to depend to a large extent on economic conditions affecting those areas. Consequently, an economic downturn in those areas could have a material adverse effect on IRSA’s financial condition and results of operations by reducing its rental income and adversely affect its ability to meet its debt obligations and fund its operations.

IRSA’s performance is subject to risks associated with its properties and with the real estate industry.

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

Events or conditions beyond the Company’s control that may adversely affect its operations or the value of its properties include:

●

downturns in the national, regional and local economic climate;

●

volatility and decline in discretionary spending;

●

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

●

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

●

decreases in consumption levels;

●

changes in interest rates and availability of financing;

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

If any one or more of the foregoing conditions were to affect IRSA’s business, it could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

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

The success of IRSA’s business and profitability of its operations depend on continued investment in real estate and access to capital and debt financing. A prolonged crisis of confidence in real estate investments and lack of credit for acquisitions may constrain the Company’s growth. As part of IRSA’s strategy, the Company intends to increase its properties portfolio through strategic acquisitions of core properties at favorable prices, where IRSA believes it can bring the necessary expertise to enhance property values. In order to pursue acquisitions, IRSA may need access to equity capital and/or debt financing. Any disruptions in the financial markets may adversely impact IRSA’s ability to refinance existing debt and the availability and cost of credit in the near future. Any consideration of sales of existing properties or portfolio interests may be offset by lower property values. IRSA’s ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance its existing debt obligations depends on its operating and financial performance, which in turn is subject to prevailing economic conditions. If a recurrence of the disruptions in financial markets remains or arises in the future, there can be no assurances that government responses to such disruptions will restore investor confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit.

The loss of tenants could adversely affect the operating revenues and value of IRSA’s properties.

Although no single tenant represents more than 3% of IRSA’s revenues, if a significant number of tenants at IRSA’s retail or office properties were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn of business, or if the Company failed to retain them, its business could be adversely affected. Further, IRSA’s shopping malls typically have a significant “anchor” tenant, such as well-known department stores that generate consumer traffic at each mall. A decision by such tenants to cease operations at any shopping mall or office building, as applicable, could have a material adverse effect on IRSA’s financial condition and the results of its operations. In addition, the closing of one or more stores with high consumer traffic may motivate other tenants to terminate or to not renew their leases, to seek rent relief and/or close their stores or otherwise adversely affect the occupancy rate at the property. Moreover, tenants at one or more properties might terminate their leases as a result of mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or bankruptcies. The bankruptcy and/or closure of multiple stores, if IRSA is not able to successfully re-lease the affected space, could have a material adverse effect on both the operating revenues and underlying value of the properties involved.

IRSA may face risks associated with property acquisitions.

IRSA has in the past acquired, and intends to acquire in the future, properties, including large properties that would increase the size of the Company and potentially alter its capital structure. Although IRSA believes that the acquisitions that have been completed in the past and that are expected to be undertaken in the future have, and will, enhance IRSA’s future financial performance, the success of such transactions is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the risk that:

●

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

●

acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;

●

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

●

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

If IRSA acquires new properties, it may not be able to efficiently integrate acquired properties, particularly portfolios of properties, into its organization and to manage new properties in a way that allows the Company to realize cost savings and synergies, which could impair its results of operations.

IRSA’s future acquisitions may not be profitable.

IRSA seek to acquire additional properties to the extent that it manages to acquire them on favorable terms and conditions and they meet IRSA’s investment criteria. Acquisitions of commercial properties entail general investment risks associated with any real estate investment, including:

●

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

●

Aquired properties may fail to achieve, within the time frames the Company projects, the occupancy or rental rates it expects to achieve at the time it makes the decision to acquire, which may result in the properties’ failure to achieve the proyected returns;

●

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

●

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

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

Properties IRSA acquires may subject the Company to unknown liabilities.

Properties that IRSA acquires may be subject to unknown liabilities and IRSA generally would have no recourse, or only limited recourse to the former owners of the properties in respect thereof. Thus, if a liability were asserted against IRSA based on ownership of an acquired property, the Company may be required to pay significant sums to settle it, which could adversely affect its financial results and cash flow. Unknown liabilities relating to acquired properties could include:

●

liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination;

●

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

●

liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

IRSA’s dependence on rental income may adversely affect its ability to meet its debt obligations.

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

●

delay lease commencements;

●

decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;

●

fail to make rental payments when due; or

●

close stores or declare bankruptcy.

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

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

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

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

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

IRSA’s ability to grow will be limited if the Company cannot obtain additional financing.

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

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

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

Disease outbreaks or other public health concerns could reduce traffic in IRSA’s shopping malls.

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

Adverse incidents that occur in IRSA’s shopping malls may result in damage to its image and a decrease in the number of customers.

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

Argentine Law governing leases imposes restrictions that limit IRSA’s flexibility.

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

●

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

●

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

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

In addition, on October 1, 2014, the Argentine Congress adopted a new Civil and Commercial Code which is in force since August 1, 2015. The Civil and Commercial Code requires that lease agreements provide for a minimum term of two years, and a maximum term of 20 years for residential leases and of 50 years for non-residential leases. Furthermore, the Civil and Commercial Code modifies the regime applicable to contractual provisions relating to foreign currency payment obligations by establishing that foreign currency payment obligations may be discharged in Pesos. This amends the prior legal framework, pursuant to which debtors could only discharge their foreign currency payment obligations by making payment in that currency. Although certain judicial decisions have held that this feature of the regulation can be set aside by the parties to an agreement, it is still too early to determine whether or not this is legally enforceable. Moreover, and regarding the new provisions for leases, there are no judicial decisions on the scope of this amendment and, in particular, in connection with the ability of the parties to any contract to set aside the new provision and enforce such agreements before an Argentine court.

IRSA may be liable for some defects in its buildings.

According to the Civil and Commercial Code, real estate developers (i.e., any person who sells real estate built by either themselves or by a third party contractor), builders, technical project managers and architects are liable in case of property damage—damages that compromise the structural integrity of the structure and/or defects that render the building no longer useful—for a period of three years from the date of possession of the property, including latent defects, even when those defects did not cause significant property damage.

In IRSA’s real estate developments, the Company usually acts as developer and seller while construction is carried out by third-party contractors. Absent a specific claim, IRSA cannot quantify the potential cost of any obligation that may arise as a result of a future claim, and IRSA has not recorded provisions associated with them in its financial statements. If IRSA was required to remedy any defects on completed works, its financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Eviction proceedings in Argentina are difficult and time consuming.

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

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

IRSA is subject to risks inherent to the operation of office buildings that may affect its profitability.

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

●

a decrease in demand for office space;

●

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

●

difficulties or delays renewing leases or re-leasing space;

●

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

●

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

●

maintenance, repair and renovation costs incurred to maintain the competitiveness of IRSA’s office buildings.

If IRSA is unable to adequately address these factors, any one of them could adversely impact its business, which would have an adverse effect on IRSA’s financial condition and results of operations.

IRSA’s investment in property development and management activities may be less profitable than the Company anticipates.

IRSA is engaged in the development and management of shopping malls, office buildings and other rental properties, frequently through third-party contractors. Risks associated with IRSA’s development and management activities include the following, among others:

●

abandonment of development opportunities and renovation proposals;

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

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

●

general changes in IRSA’s tenants’ demand for rental properties; and

●

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

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

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

Greater than expected increases in construction costs could adversely affect the profitability of IRSA’s new developments.

IRSA’s business activities include real estate developments. One of the main risks related to this activity corresponds to increases in constructions costs, which may be driven by higher demand and new development projects in the shopping malls and buildings sectors. Increases higher than those included in the original budget may result in lower profitability than expected.

IRSA faces significant competitive pressure.

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

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

Substantially all of IRSA’s offices and other non-shopping mall rental properties are located in developed urban areas. There are many office buildings, shopping malls, retail and residential premises in the areas where IRSA’s properties are located. This is a highly fragmented market, and the abundance of comparable properties in its vicinity may adversely affect IRSA’s ability to rent or sell office space and other real estate and may affect the sale and lease price of IRSA’s premises. In the future, both national and foreign companies may participate in Argentina’s real estate development market, competing with IRSA for business opportunities.

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

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

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

An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds policies on IRSA’s properties could subject the Company to lost capital or revenue on those properties.

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

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

Demand for IRSA’s premium properties may not be sufficient.

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

IRSA’s level of debt may adversely affect its operations and its ability to pay its debt as it becomes due.

IRSA had, and expects to have, substantial liquidity and capital resource requirements to finance its business. As of June 30, 2017, its consolidated financial debt amounted to Ps.129,415 million (including IDBD’s debt outstanding as of that date plus accrued and unpaid interest on such indebtedness and deferred financing costs). IRSA cannot assure you that the Company will have sufficient cash flows and adequate financial capacity in the future. While the commitments and other covenants applicable to IDBD’s debt obligations do not apply IRSA since such debt has no recourse to IRSA and it is not guaranteed by IRSA’s assets, these covenants and restrictions may impair or restrict IRSA’s ability to operate IDBD and implement its business strategy.

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

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

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

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

IRSA is subject to risks affecting the hotel industry.

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

In addition, the profitability of IRSA’s hotels depends on:

●

IRSA’s ability to form successful relationships with international and local operators to run its hotels;

●

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

●

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

●

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

The shift of consumers to purchasing goods over the Internet, where barriers to entry are low, may negatively affect sales at IRSA’s shopping malls.

In recent years, internet retail sales have grown significantly in Argentina, even though the market share of such sales is still modest. The Internet enables manufacturers and retailers to sell directly to consumers, diminishing the importance of traditional distribution channels such as retail stores and shopping malls. IRSA believes that its target consumers are increasingly using the Internet, from home, work or elsewhere, to shop electronically for retail goods, and this trend is likely to continue. Retailers at IRSA’s properties face increasing competition from online sales and this could cause the termination or non renewal of their lease agreements or a reduction in their gross sales, affecting IRSA’s Percentage Rent (as defined below) based revenue. If e-commerce and retail sales through the Internet continue to grow, retailers’ and consumers’ reliance on IRSA’s shopping malls could be materially diminished, having a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

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

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

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

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

Labor relations may negatively impact IRSA.

As of June 30, 2017, 47.8% of IRSA’s workforce was represented by unions under two separate collective bargaining agreements. Although IRSA currently enjoys good relations with its employees and their unions, IRSA cannot assure you that labor relations will continue to be positive or that deterioration in labor relations will not materially and adversely affect IRSA.

IRSA’s results of operations include unrealized revaluation adjustments on investment properties, which may fluctuate significantly over financial periods and may materially and adversely affect IRSA’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

During the fiscal years ended on June 30, 2017 and 2016, IRSA had unrealized fair value gains on investment properties. Although the upward revaluation adjustments reflect unrealized capital gains on IRSA’s investment properties during the relevant periods, the adjustments were not actual cash flow or profit generated from the sales or rental of IRSA’s investment properties. Unless such investment properties are disposed of at similarly revalued amounts, IRSA will not realize the actual cash flow. The amount of revaluation adjustments has been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by the prevailing property markets and will be subject to market fluctuations in those markets.

IRSA cannot guarantee whether changes in market conditions will increase, maintain or decrease the fair value gains on its investment properties at historical levels or at all. In addition, the fair value of IRSA’s investment properties may materially differ from the amount IRSA receives from any actual sale of an investment property. If there is any material downward adjustment in the revaluation of IRSA’s investment properties in the future or if IRSA’s investment properties are disposed of at significantly lower prices than their valuation or appraised value, IRSA’s business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Property ownership through joint ventures or minority participation may limit IRSA’s ability to act exclusively in its interest.

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

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

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

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

IRSA is dependent on its Board of Directors and its personnel.

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

IRSA may face potential conflicts of interest relating to its principal shareholders.

IRSA’s largest beneficial owner is Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, through his indirect shareholding through us. As of June 30, 2017, such beneficial ownership consisted of: (i) 366,788,251 common shares held by us, and (ii) 900 common shares held directly by Mr. Elsztain. See “Item 7 – Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.” Conflicts of interest between our management, us and our affiliates may arise in the performance of the Company’s business activities. As of June 30, 2017, Mr. Elsztain beneficially owned (i) approximately 30.9% of our common shares and (ii) approximately 94.6% of the common shares of our subsidiary IRSA Commercial Properties (“IRSA CP”). Likewise, on October 27, 2017, IRSA reported that it has completed the sale in the secondary market of 2,560,000 ADSs of IRSA CP, which represent 8.1% of IRSA CP. For more information please see “Recent developments – Selling of IRSA CP’ ADSs.” We cannot assure you that our principal shareholders and their affiliates will not limit or cause us to forego business opportunities that our affiliates may pursue or that the pursuit of other opportunities will be in our interest.

Due to the currency mismatches between IRSA’s assets and liabilities, IRSA has currency exposure.

As of June 30, 2017, the majority of IRSA’s liabilities in the Operations Center in Argentina, such as the Series II and VIII Notes issued by the IRSA, and the Series II and IV issued by IRSA CP, were denominated in U.S. dollars while IRSA’s revenues are mainly denominated in Pesos. This currency gap exposes IRSA to a risk of volatility in the rate of exchange between the Peso and the U.S. dollar, and IRSA’s financial results are adversely affected when the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Peso. Any depreciation of the Peso against the U.S. dollar correspondingly increases the nominal amount of IRSA’s debt in Pesos, which further adversely effects IRSA’s results of operation and financial condition and may increase the collection risk of IRSA’s leases and other receivables from its tenants, most of which generate Peso-denominated revenues.

Risks Related to our Investment in Banco Hipotecario

Risks Relating to the Argentine Financial System and Banco Hipotecario

Capital stock in Banco Hipotecario

As of June 30, 2017, IRSA owned approximately 29.91% of the outstanding capital stock of Banco Hipotecario, which represented 0.7% of IRSA’s consolidated assets from its operations center in Argentina as of such date. All of Banco Hipotecario’s operations, properties and customers are located in Argentina. Accordingly, the quality of Banco Hipotecario’s loan portfolio, financial condition and results of operations depend on economic, regulatory and political conditions prevailing in Argentina. These conditions include growth rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, changes to interest rates, changes to government policies, social instability and other political, economic or international developments either taking place in, or otherwise affecting, Argentina.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Financial institutions carry significant portfolios of bonds issued by the Argentine government and by provincial governments as well as loans granted to these governments. The exposure of the financial system to the non-financial public sector’s indebtedness had been shrinking steadily, from 49.0% of total assets in 2002 to 10.3% in 2015 and 9.6% for the period of six months ended as June 30, 2017. To an extent, the value of the assets held by Argentine banks, as well as their capacity to generate income, is dependent on the creditworthiness of the non-financial public sector, which is in turn tied to the government’s ability to foster sustainable long-term growth, generate fiscal revenues and reduce public expenditure.

In addition, financial institutions currently carry securities issued by the Central Bank in their portfolios, which generally are short-term. As of June 30, 2017, such securities issued by the Central Bank represented approximately 27.6% of the total assets of the Argentine financial system. As of June 30, 2017, Banco Hipotecario’s total exposure to the public sector was Ps.3,122.1 million, which represented 6.3% of its assets as of that date, and the total exposure to securities issued by the Central Bank was Ps.3,306.8 million, which represented 6.3% of its total assets as of June 30, 2017.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Operations Center in Israel

Risks related to Israel

The implementation of the provision of the the Israeli Law to Promote Competition and Reduce Concentration may have implications on IDBD and its subsidiaries.

On August 2017, Dolphin Netherlands B.V. (“Dolphin”) made a non-binding offer to purchase all the shares held by IDBD in Discount Investment Corporation Ltd. (“DIC”). On September 2017, IDBD announced that following the negotiations of DIC’s independent board committee such non-binder offer was accepted pursuant to which Dolphin bought all IDBD's interest in DIC at a price of NIS 16.6 per share (and in total of NIS 1.77 billion in respect of all the shares which will be sold) by means of a debenture that will be issued by the purchaser to IDBD, for the entire amount of the consideration for the shares.

The offer is subject to the parties’ executing the final agreement (which is subject to further negotiation) until November 16, 2017 as well as to the approval of the transaction by the companies’ corporate bodies and the fulfillment of additional conditional terms by December 10, 2017. No assurance may be given that the parties will execute or perform any binding agreement. This transaction could significantly extend over time or could fail to be consummated or be consummated under different terms, as it must be approved by IDBD’s corporate bodies and other entities, which could withhold their consent.

On September 20, 2017, complying with the Reduced Centralization Act in respect to the pyramid participation structure, Dolphin, a subsidiary of the Company, has executed a binding term sheet for the acquisition of the entire shares held by IDBD in DIC through a company that it is controlled by the Company, currently existing or to be incorporated in Israel. The term sheet has been approved by the independent directors committee created for the purposes of such transaction which has been participated in the negotiations, analyzed and assessed the term sheet. This term sheet shall continue in negotiations between the parties so as to define the terms and conditions of the definitive documents to be executed. The Audit Committee of the Company has issued an opinion without objections to make with respect to the referred transaction.

Following the implementation of the Reduced Centralization Act, in August 2014, IDBD’s board of directors appointed an advisory committee to examine various alternatives to comply with the limitations set forth in the Reduced Centralization Act. Since then, the Company and IDBD have been taking measures and steps towards streamlining their organization to comply with such requirements, including the appointment of independent directors and the divestment from certain subsidiaries. For more information, see “Item 4. Business Overview - General regulations applicable to our business in Israel - Reduced Centralization Act.” In case that a “layer” is not eliminated in IDBD and its subsidiaries by December 2017, the applicable authority in Israel may impose penalties on IDBD pursuant to the terms of the Reduced Centralization Act.

On August 2017, Dolphin Netherlands B.V. (“Dolphin”) made a non-binding offer to purchase all the shares held by IDBD in Discount Investment Corporation Ltd. (“DIC”). On September 20, 2017, complying with the Reduced Centralization Act in respect to the pyramid participation structure, Dolphin executed a binding term sheet for the acquisition of the entire shares held by IDBD in DIC. The term sheet has been approved by the independent directors committee created for the purposes of such transaction which has been participated in the negotiations, analyzed and assessed the term sheet. This term sheet shall continue in negotiations between the parties so as to define the terms and conditions of the definitive documents to be executed. The Audit Committee of the Company has issued an opinion without objections to make with respect to the referred transaction. On September 2017, IDBD announced that following the negotiations of DIC’s independent board committee such non-binder offer was accepted pursuant to which Dolphin bought all IDBD’s interest in DIC at a price of NIS 16.6 per share (and in total of NIS 1.77 billion in respect of all the shares which will be sold) by means of a debenture that will be issued by the purchaser to IDBD, for the entire amount of the consideration for the shares.

The deterioration of the global economy and changes in capital markets in Israel and around the world may affect IDBD and its subsidiaries.

A recession or deterioration of capital markets around the world and in Israel (including volatility in securities prices, exchange rates and interest rates), whether those which affect the entire economy, or those which affect specific market branches, are affecting and may affect IDBD and its subsidiaries, inter alia, as follows:

●

Negative effects on the state of their business affairs (including the demand for products of the subsidiaries of IDBD);

●

Negative effects on the value of the marketable securities and on the value of non-marketable assets which are held by them;

●

Negative effects on their ability to generate profits or an increase in capital attributed to shareholders of the companies, and realization of their holdings;

●

Negative effects on their liquidity and equity;

●

Negative effects on their ability to perform issuances on stock exchanges, in Israel and abroad;

●

Negative effects on the financial ratios of those companies, in a manner which could impose difficulties on capital raisings and/or affect their terms, or harm the fulfillment of financial covenants, insofar as any have been determined, in connection with the provision of loans by financing entities, or require them to provide additional securities to financing entities, and even to repay the foregoing credit, or constitute grounds for demanding the realization of securities which were given to secure the foregoing credit;

●

Negative effects on their debt ratings, as given by rating entities and their debt repayment ability;

●

Negative effects on their ability to distribute dividends;

●

Negative effects on the need for recording of impairment and on the data reported in their financial statements, due to the accounting standards which apply to them; and

●

Difficulties imposed on the identification of financing sources and on the raising or refinancing of debt funds, if these are required by them in order to finance their operating activities and long term activities, as well as on the terms of financing from financial entities and from banks.

Certain subsidiries import or buy raw materials which are required for their activities, and therefore, their business results may also be affected by changes in the prices of raw materials around the world.

Changes in legislation, standardization and regulation may have an impact on IDBD operations.

In recent years, a trend of increased legislation, standardization and regulation has taken place, horizontally and in various operating segments in the Israeli economy. This trend has an effect, including a significant effect, on the operations of certain material subsidiaries of IDBD, on their financial results, and on the prices of their securities, as well as on the activities of IDBD.

Legislative amendments in various areas in Israel and abroad, such as legislation regarding concentration, promotion of competition and antitrust laws, tax laws, regulation over the communication market, supervision of insurance business operations, legislation in the field of encouragement of capital investments, companies and securities laws, laws pertaining to the supervision of prices of products and services, increased competition in the food market, consumer protection laws, environmental laws, planning and construction laws, etc., may have an effect on the business operations and results of IDBD and of its subsidiaries. Additionally, there may be such effects due to changes in the policy which is adopted by the various authorities by virtue of these laws.

Changes in the tariffs and in the policy regarding protection of local products may affect the results of some of the subsidiaries which are held by IDBD.

Some of the subsidiaries which are held by IDBD operate abroad, or have securities which are traded on foreign stock exchanges. Changes in legislation and in the regulatory policies of the relevant foreign countries, as well as the characteristics of the business environment in the country of operation, may affect the financial results and the business position of those companies.

Changes in IFRS or in the accounting principles which apply to IDBD and its subsidiaries may have an impact, and even a significant impact, on their financial results, on various lines (including capital attributable to shareholders and profit) reported in the financial statements of IDBD and its subsidiaries, on their fulfillment of financial covenants, insofar as any have been determined for them, on their fulfillment of the conditions of permits and licenses which were given to them, and on their ability to distribute dividends.

IDBD and its subsidiaries are exposed to financial risks.

IDBD and its subsidiaries are exposed to changes in interest rates and price indexes, and to changes in exchange rates which affect, directly or indirectly, their business results and the value of their assets and liabilities (due to the scope of their CPI-linked liabilities and due to their investments in real estate properties outside Israel). There is also an effect on capital attributable to shareholders of IDBD, with respect to the reserve for adjustments to capital due to the translation of financial statements of subsidiaries in foreign currency, primarily Real Estate Corporations in Las Vegas and foreign subsidiaries of PBC.

IDBD and its subsidiaries are exposed to risks associated with foreign operations.

IDBD and its subsidiaries operate in the real estate segment outside Israel, and primarily in the United States, both in the revenue-generating properties segment and in the residential construction segment. Material adverse changes in the state of the economy in a country in which such properties are located affect the ability to operate and realize such investments, and the receipt of financingunder reasonable conditions. A global economic crisis and a recession in the global economy may adversely affect the various markets in which IDBD and its subsidiaries operate, especially in the United States. The characteristics of the business environment outside Israel, including the local regulation, the purchasing power of consumers, the financing possibilities (under reasonable conditions, if at all), and the selection of entities (including local entities in Israel) which are engaged in the field on financing with whom the collaboration is done with, and these entities business status, may affect the possibilities for financing, their terms, and the success of the foreign operation, and accordingly, may have an adverse effect on their business operations and the results of operations of IDBD and its subsidiaries.

Some activities of IDBD and/or its subsidiaries may be restricted by the terms of certain government grants and benefits and/or budgetary policy.

Some of the subsidiaries of IDBD receive funds from government entities, such as grants for research and development activities, which are provided in accordance with the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development Law, 5744-1984, and regulations enacted pursuant thereto, as well as grants and/or various tax benefits which are provided in accordance with the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, which are granted under certain conditions. These conditions may restrict the activities of the companies which receive such funds. Non-compliance of such restrictions may lead to the imposition of various penalties on them, including financial and criminal sanctions. Additionally, a decrease or other changes in the budgets of the aforementioned government entities, in a manner which prevents or reduces the grants and/or benefits which the subsidiaries of IDBD may receive from them in the future, may adversely affect the operations and results of those companies.

Additionally, investments of foreign entities, and particularly in the technology and communication sectors, receive certain benefits derived from the encouragement of foreign investments by regulatory entities in Israel, including certain tax benefits. If the aforementioned benefits are stopped and/or restricted, the foregoing may negatively affect investments of foreign entities in subsidiaries which are held by IDBD may cause them to loose such benefits which, may negatively affect their business results,which may adversely affect the business results of IDBD, or the marketability of their securities.

Regional conflict may affect IDBD or its subsidiary’s activities, especially Cellcom (“Cellcom”) activities.

The activities of Cellcom and its network are located in Israel, as are some of its suppliers. A significant part of Cellcom’s communication network, as well as a significant part of Cellcom’s information systems, are located within the range of missile attacks launched from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Any damage caused to the communication network and/or to the information systems may adversely affect Cellcom’s ability to continue providing services, in whole or in part, and/or may negatively affect the activities of Cellcom in other ways, and may adversely affect its business results and IDBD’s business. Additionally, negative effects of this kind may materialize due to an increase in criticism of Israel by international community. In general, any armed conflict, terror attack or political instability in the region may result in a decrease in Cellcom’s income, including from roaming services of incoming tourism, and may thereby adversely affect its business results.

Changes in the characteristics of the foreign business environment may impact in IDBD or its subsidiary’s activities, especially Property & Building (“PBC”) foreign operations.

In its foreign activities, it is the practice of PBC to cooperate with local entities engaged in the segment. The characteristics of the foreign business environment, including local regulation, the purchasing power of citizens, and/ or financing possibilities, may affect the success of the foreign operation,which is also dependent upon the choices of the local entities. Additionally, if the profitability considerations of PBC failed to take into account all of the relevant factors in the relevant country, the foregoing may adversely affect the results of operations of PBC, which in turn would have an adverse effect on IDBD’s results of operations.

A deterioration in the political-security and economical situation in Israel may affect IDBD or its subsidiary’s activities.

A significant deterioration in the political-security situation in Israel, and in light of the political instability in the Middle East, may result in decreased demand for rental areas and residential units, an exacerbation of the manpower deficit in the construction and agriculture segment, and the increased costs of works. These factors may adversely affect the results of PBC, and consequently affect IDBD’s results of operations. Additionally, all of Shufersal’s (“Shufersal”) income is produced in Israel, and a significant part of the products sold by it are grown, produced or processed in Israel. Therefore, the business results of Shufersal are directly affected by the political, economic and security conditions in Israel. A significant deterioration in the security situation or political situation in Israel may adversely affect Shufersal’s business operations, financial position and results of operations, which in turn would have an negatively effect on IDBD’s results of operations.

Shufersal management routinely evaluates the possible impact and implication of the general economic situation in Israel, in particular on the retail food market. Developments and shocks in the Israeli economy, as well as an economic downturn or recession due to an economic crisis, may have negative effects on the food retail market in Israel, and as a result, also on Shufersal’s revenues and profitability, due to the intensification of competition and due to changes in the consumption habits of its customers. Likewise, the cost of living issue may affect Shufersal’s business results, due to the considerable pressure from consumers which is being applied on Shufersal to reduce the prices of the products which it sells, and the increasing competition from the discount chains, which are expanding their operations. Deceleration in the Israeli economy may negatively impact Clal's business, particularly in the long term savings segment. Additionally, as a result of the aforementioned deceleration, the risk associated with the exposure of Clal to entities in Israel through its investments may increase due to the deterioration of Israel's political and economic situation.

IDBD and its subsidiaries are exposed to capital market and finance risks.

Changes to Proper Banking Management Directives, changes to the list of entities and corporations which are associated, jointly with IDBD, under the same group of borrowers, and the balance of their debt to banks in Israel, as well as changes in equity of the banks themselves, may restrict the ability of the banking system in Israel to provide credit to IDBD and its subsidiaries. However, since 2013 and until the publication date of this report, a decrease has occurred in the scope of credit used from the banking system in Israel for the group of borrowers which includes IDBD due, among other reasons, to changes of control of certain subidiaries.

The legislation and regulation which apply to the investments of institutional entities, including the implementation of the provision of credit to business groups, may have an impact on the possibilities to raise capital from institutional entities, and on the conditions of its raising.

IDBD holds assets and manages its business affairs in Israel. Therefore, almost all of IDBD’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses are in NIS. IDBD’s financing income and expenses are also subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates on loans from banks and deposits which were deposited in banks. IDBD’s policy regarding the management of market risks, certain sibsidiaries used, in 2016, derivative financial instruments with the aim of adjusting, where possible, the linkage bases of its financial assets and liabilities (hedging transactions). However, an increase of the rate at which IDBD’s finance its operations or the lack of financing at acceptable terms, may have an adverse effect on IDBD’s results of operations.

Lastly, developments and shocks in the state of the economy, as stated above, may have negative effects on the business results of IDBD and its subsidiaries, on their liquidity, the value of their assets, results of operations, their credit rating, their ability to distribute dividends, and their ability to raise financing for its operations at acceptable terms, insofar as it will be required to do so, and also on their financing terms.

In addition, the prices of assets and returns in capital markets in Israel and around the world have a very significant impact on the business results of Clal. The amount of management fees (fixed or variable) charged by Clal may be reduced as the value of managed assets decreases, both as a result of the negative returns, and as a result of the decrease in the value of deposits or accruals.

Risks relating to IRSA´s business in Israel

IDBD and its subsidiaries are exposed to changes in permits and licenses.

IDBD and some of its subsidiaries operate in accordance with approvals, permits or licenses which were granted to them by various authorities, such as the Commissioner of Capital Markets, the Ministry of Communication, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the Commissioner of Oil Affairs in theMinistry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water. A breach of the terms of these approvals, permits or licenses may lead to the imposition of penalties (including criminal) against the IDBD or the relevant subsidiaries, including fines and/or revocation of such approvals, licenses or permits. Revocation of such approvals, permits or licenses may adversely affect such subsidiaries, whose operations are dependent upon them (such as Clal and Cellcom). Some of the aforementioned licenses are subject to an expiration date, and are renewable from time to time, in accordance with their terms and the provisions of the law. There is no certainty that the aforementioned licenses will be renewed in the future and/or under conditions acceptable for IDBD. Non-renewal of a permit or license, as stated above, and/or the directives of regulators in segments in which subsidiaries of IDBD operate, may have an adverse effect on the business position, capital, cash flows and profitability of the relevant company which holds the aforementioned permit or license, and accordingly, on the results of operations of IDBD.

Class actions on consumer issues and environmental protection issues may have an impact on IDBD and its subsidiaries.

Subsidiaries of IDBD, primarily including Cellcom, Shufersal and Clal, may be subject, from time to time, to class actions on consumer issues and on environmental issues (including in connection with non-ionizing radiation from mobile devices, air emissions, and water, noise and odor pollution), in material amounts, which are sometimes even higher than their equity, and must defend themselves against them at significant cost, even if such claims are unfounded from the outset.

The provision of the Antitrust Law may affect IDBD operations.

IDBD is subject to, inter alia, the provisions of the Restrictive Trade Practices Law, with respect to its transactions or transactions of its subsidiaries, which constitute a merger and/or which include restrictive arrangements, as these terms are defined in the aforementioned law.

IDBD and its subsidiaries may face environmental risks.

Some of the subsidiaries which are held by IDBD are subject to various requirements from different authorities which oversee environmental protection. In recent years, there is an ongoing trend of increased regulatory requirements with respect to the environment, health and agriculture, in Israel and around the world, which has and may cause an increase in the costs of the companies in the aforementioned segments. Changes in the policy of those supervising authorities, new regulation or enhanced requirements to comply with these regulations may affect the profitability of the relevant subsidiaries, and in turn, the profitability of IDBD.

If debenture holders decide to iniciate actions IDBD activities may be affected.

The trustee for the debenture holders (Series I) of IDBD (the “Trustee”) raised, in early 2016 (including within the framework of legal proceedings in amendment of the debt settlement in IDB Holding Corporations Ltd. (“IDBH”)) assertions regarding IDBD being insolvency, and the debenture holders (Series I) also decided to appoint a representation for that series. In June 2016, the trustee filed with the District Court of Tel Aviv-Yafo (the “Court”) a motion to order the liquidation of IDBD, and a motion to order the appointment of a provisional liquidator (the “Motion To Appoint A Provisional Liquidator”). On July 18, 2016, the Court issued a ruling, in which the Court accepted the consensus motion which was filed by the trustee to strike the motion to liquidate. The initiation of legal actions against IDBD by its debenture holders may harm the ability of IDBD to continue repaying its debts in accordance with their current amortization schedules, and may also lead to a demand for the immediate repayment of future liabilities (primarily to lending corporations).

IDBD is exposed to changes in cash flows from subsidiaries.

IDBD is a holding company and, as such, relies on the dividends from it subsidiaries. In recent years, the cash flows of IDBD have primarily been used to repay debt (principal and interest payments). In recent years, the amount of dividends distributed by the subsidiaries of IDBD has decreased significantly, as a result of changes in the operating results, in regulation, in profitability (including a decrease in the balance of distributable earnings, or the existence of negative balances of profits). Changes which have occurred in connection with Clal, including capital requirements from insurers which are held by it, and the appointment of a trustee has affected, and may continue to adversely affect the dividend flows from Clal. We have not received a dividend from Clal in the last four years. DIC distributed a dividend recently, but that was a relatively extraordinary event, after more than two years during which dividends were not distributed by DIC.

A decrease of the cash flows from the subsidiaries may adversely affect the cash flows of IDBD, and its business activities.

IDBD and some of its subsidiaries may be affected by restrictions on the sale of assets, including shares in subsidiaries.

IDBD and some of its subsidiaries are subject to legal and contractual restrictions, including those which are included in permits and licenses, which may restrict the possibility of selling and transferring IDBD’s equity interest in its subsidiaries, or the possibility of pledging such interests (including due to restrictions on the realization of such pledges) by IDBD or by its subsidiaries.

IDBD and some of its subsidiaries may be affected by restrictions on the performance of investments and continued investment in existing companies.

IDBD and some of its subsidiaries may be restricted from making new investments in ceretain areas in certain areas or the increase of its investments in subsidiaries. IDBD and some of its subsidiaries are also subject to restrictions in accordance with the law or in accordance with the provisions of various regulatory entities with respect to their business activities, in Israel and abroad. These restrictions may limit the possibility of IDBD to take advantage of business opportunities for new investments, or to increase or realize existing investments, and thus, may affect IDBD’s results of operations.

IDBD and some of its subsidiaries may be affected by changes in legal proceedings in the field of companies laws and securities laws.

In recent years, an increasing trend has taken place in the filing of class actions and derivative claims in the field of companies laws and securities laws. In consideration of the above, and of the financial position of IDBD and the Group’s holding structure, claims in material amounts may be filed against IDBD, including in connection with its financial position and cash flows, issuances which it performs, and transactions which were performed or which were not completed, including in connection with assertions and claims by the Company’s controlling shareholders.

Changes in controlling shareholder status may impact DIC’s results of operations.

The intention of financial institutions to reduce their credit exposure to corporations in the IDB Group, may have an adverse impact on the ratings given for DIC’s debentures and/or may impose difficulties on DIC’s ability to raise capital and/or to refinance its debts, if it is interested in doing so (and/or may worsen the refinancing terms with respect to such debt). As of the publication date of the report, DIC is unable to estimate the full impact of the results of the aforementioned proceedings and events on DIC.

DIC may be affected by cash requirements, reliance on cash flows of subsidiaries and liquidity.

The cash flows of DIC are used to repay debt (principal and interest payments), to finance general and administrative expenses, to make investments, and, if relevant, to distribute dividends as well. One of the main sources for DIC’s current cash flows includes dividends distributed by its subsidiaries (if and insofar as any are distributed). An additional source for DIC’s cash flows is the sale of assets, including the sale of equity interests in subsidiaries. Changes in the amount of dividends and/or in the value of asset realizations accordingly affects DIC’s cash flows.

The state of capital markets in Israel and around the world (which affects, inter alia, the value of DIC’s investments), the financial ratios of DIC, the decline in the value of its main holdings, and the returns at which DIC’s debentures are traded, may have an adverse effect on the rating of DIC’s debentures and/or may impair DIC’s ability to raise capital and/or to refinance its debts, if it wishes to do so (and/or may worsen the refinancing terms with respect to such debt).

DIC and/or its subsidiaries may be affected by changes in financial institutions which hold cash deposits and financial assets.

Cash deposits and material financial assets of DIC or of its subsidiaries (including listed shares of their subsidiaries) are held on their behalf by financial institutions and brokers. DIC and its subsidiaries, as stated above, are exposed to the risk of losses in connection with these assets, in certain cases involving a deterioration in the financial stability of those financial institutions and brokers.

Cellcom is exposed to an aggressive competition.

The communication market is characterized by significant competition in many of its segments, including mobile communication and internet provider services. The current level of competition in all markets in which Cellcom is active, including the market for the sale of end user devices and the offering of aggressive price plans by Cellcom’s competitors, is expected to continue. The materialization of any one of the developments described below will result in a significantly adverse impact on Cellcom’s profitability, and, thus, in its ability to pay dividends to IDBD:

(a) Difficulties or non-execution of the network sharing and hosting agreement with Electra, which came into force as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2017, or any other development which will result in loss of income from Golan, and an inability for Cellcom to compensate for the foregoing, for example, in case of Golan’s insolvency, or increased efforts by the other competitors on the market to recruit Golan’s customers;

(b) Tariffs remaining at their current rates, or an additional decrease in rates, including as part of a package of services;

(c) An ineffective wholesale market for landline communication, including due to the effective exclusion of Hot infrastructure, the effective exclusion of telephone services from the wholesale market, the offering of services not in accordance with the criteria of the wholesale market, without implementation of enforcement measures by the Ministry of Communication, or the pricing thereof in a manner which could negatively affect Cellcom’s ability to offer competitive services packages, and to compete against Bezeq and Hot (due to their dominant status in the landline communication market), particularly if the structural separation which applies to the Bezeq and Hot groups is canceled before the creation of an effective landline wholesale market;

(d) Cancellation or easement of the structural separation which applies to the Bezeq and Hot groups;

(e) The entry of new competitors into markets in which Cellcom is engaged, or the entry of existing competitors into segments in which they were not previously active, or were partially active;

(f) Distribution or acquisition of a landline infrastructure by one of Cellcom’s competing companies, which does not own such infrastructure, or collaboration of a competitor company with an operator which has such infrastructure, if Cellcom does not distribute or acquire such infrastructure, or enter into a collaboration with an operator which holds such infrastructure;

(g) Regulatory changes which facilitate the transition of customers between operators; or

(h) Continued increased competition in the end user equipment market, and the entry of additional competitors into the end user equipment market and/or legislation or new judicial decisions which may restrict Cellcom’s activities in the end user equipment sale market, and adversely affect its income or profitability.

Changes in legislation and significant regulatory intervention may have an impact on Cellcom activities.

Cellcom develops its activity in a highly regulated market and relies on a license issued by the Ministry of Communications of Israel to operate its business. Such License has to be renewed every six years and may be amended without Cellcom’s consent. See “Item 4. Business – Regulation – Telecommunications.” Other changes in legislation and the extent of such regulatory changes may have adverse effects on Cellcom’s activities, including but not limited to:

(a)

cancellation or easement of the structural separation obligation which applies to Bezeq and Hot, particularly if such cancellation or easement is given before the creation of an effective wholesale market in the landline communication market;

(b)

competition-encouraging tariffs;

(c)

the provision of easements and benefits to competitors, over Cellcom;

(d)

granting permissions for other operators to provide services to Cellcom subscribers which were previously provided only by Cellcom;

(e)

non-renewal of Cellcom’s licenses and/or frequencies, or restriction of their use, and non-allocation of additional frequencies, if required;

(f)

the establishment of additional requirements for the provision of easements to competitors with respect to safety or health, including with respect to the construction and operation of base sites;

(g)

the establishment of additional restrictions or requirements regarding the provision of services and products and/or intervention in their terms of marketing, advertising and provision, including regarding existing agreements;

(h)

the establishment of a higher standard of service;

(i)

the establishment of a more stringent policy with respect to protection privacy; or

(j)

the imposition of regulations on Cellcom’s television over internet service, the establishment of non-beneficial conditions for the use of DTT broadcasts, or the imposition of such non-beneficial conditions on Cellcom and not on other operators of the television over internet service.

Regulatory developments also affect the risk factors of tariff oversight, licensing of sites and the indemnification obligation, non-ionizing radiation and dependence on licenses.

Cellcom may face difficulties in obtaining approvals related to the construction and operation of certain infrastructure.

Cellcom (and its competitors) encounters difficulties in obtaining some of the required approvals for the construction and operation of base sites, and particularly in obtaining the building permits from the various planning authorities. Cellcom’s ability to maintain the quality of its mobile services is partially based on Cellcom’s ability to build base sites. The difficulties encountered by Cellcom in obtaining the required permits and approvals may adversely affect the currently existing infrastructure, and the continued development of its mobile network. Additionally, the inability to obtain these approvals on time nay also prevent achievement of the mobile service quality targets which were determined in Cellcom’s mobile license, may result in loss of customers, and may adversely affect its business results, which, in turn, may adversely affect IDBD’s results of operations.

Cellcom provides communication services in accordance with licenses which were given by the Ministry of Communication, which are subject to changes by such Ministry, including changes that may negatively affect Cellcom’s interests and operations. A breach of the terms of the licenses may result in the cancellation of the licenses. Tha inability to function as it currently does or the imposition of fines may adversely affect Cellcom’s operation which, in turn, may affect IDBD’s operating results. and, as a result, in Cellcom’s inability to continue operating in each of the fields of communication in which it operates by virtue of the aforementioned licenses. Also, a breach of the provisions of the licenses may result in the imposition of significant financial sanctions on Cellcom.

If the public’s concern with respect to non-ionizing radiation increases, that may have a significantly adverse impact on Cellcom.

Non-ionizing radiation is emitted from two sources: end user equipment and mobile sites of various kinds. The construction and operation of base sites is conditional upon the receipt of a construction permit and an operation permit from the Radiation Commissioner.

If it is determined or perceived that there are health risks connected to non-ionizing radiation, or that the radiation standards in the sites or in the end user equipment are being exceeded, or a court rules against Cellcom or against another mobile operator, or if a settlement is reached in a claim which pertains to health damages derived from radiation, claims of various types for damages with respect to property damage and physical injury of significant scopes may increase, regulation in the construction, operation and rental of sites, decrease in income as a result of a decrease in the use of mobile communication, and realization of letters of indemnity which were deposited with planning institutions in connection with section 197 of the Planning and Construction Law. Cellcom has no insurance coverage for such cases. The increase in litigation or a reduction in our revenues may have an adverse effect on Cellcom’s and IDBD’s operating results.

Cellcom depends significantly on technology and technological improvements which require investments in order to maintain competitive.

The communication market is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology, requiring investment in advanced technologies in order to stay competitive.

The increase in the consumption of internet and content provider services through advanced mobile end user equipment has resulted in increased data communication volumes on mobile networks, and is expected to continue growing rapidly. The transition of subscribers to unlimited packages has significantly contributed to the increasing demand for data transmission on Cellcom’s network, as well as text messages and calls. In order to meet the increasing demand for data communication, Cellcom is required to upgrade its transmission network, and also to continue investing in its 4G network, which will allow greater capacity and faster data transfer. Additionally, in order to provide provider performance on the 4G network, Cellcom makes use of additional frequencies on the Cellcom network, beyond those which were allocated to it in the 4G frequencies auctions.

Cellcom’s activities are dependent upon several complex information systems and technologies. Additionally, Cellcom’s array of packages including mobile and landline services has increased the number of information systems and complex technological systems which are involved in the provision of service to Cellcom customers. Malfunctions in the constantly changing and expanding complex systems are unavoidable. A malfunction in any one of Cellcom’s systems which adversely affects its ability to provide services and products to its customers, or to charge for them, may result in loss of income for Cellcom, and may adversely affect the perception of Cellcom’s brand, and could expose Cellcom to claims. Additionally, Cellcom is in the process of implementing a shared customer service system for the mobile segment and the landline segment, which may result in higher costs than expected, may require significant managerial attention, which could have been referred to routine management, and may also result in unexpected operational difficulties and failures, which may result in loss of income, legal claims and regulatory sanctions. All of the above may have an adverse effect on Cellcom’s results of operations.

Cellcom is exposed, to frequent cyber attacks. Additionally, unauthorized penetration to the information systems of Cellcom, or disruptions to their operation, including due to internet hacks (including in customer systems which are protected by information security products provided by Cellcom), may cause damages and losses to Cellcom and its customers, including due to the inability to provide certain services, or due to the provision of such services in a disrupted manner, which may lead to the inability to charge those services, loss of information of Cellcom or of customers, or malicious use of customer information. Cellcom has no insurance coverage for this type of claims and liabilities.

A decrease of Cellcom’s operating income and result due to higher costs vinculated to technological changes, malfunctions or cyberattacks may have an adverse effect on IDBD’s operating results.

Cellcom depends on the provision of services from other operators.

Cellcom’s roaming services are provided through foreign operators. Connecting to the other networks requires certain infrastructure and the ability to connect the networks between Cellcom and those operators. The absence of accessible or high-quality service may negatively affect Cellcom’s ability to compete in the market, and may affect its business results and, thus, IDBD’s operating results.

Cellcom may have to face emergency situations.

In emergency situations, the applicable laws and certain provisions of the mobile license confer upon the entities which are authorized by law to take steps as required to ensure state security and/or public peace, including, requiring Cellcom (as a mobile license holder) to provide service to the security forces, the recruitment of Cellcom’s engineering equipment and facilities, and even taking control of the system. Such measures may have an adverse effect on Cellcom’s assets and operating results.

Cellcom may be affected by its debt.

Cellcom has raised a significant amount of debt and it is highly leveraged. This situation increases Cellcom’s exposure to market changes, and makes it difficult to respond quickly to changes in the industry and in the competitive market conditions, including raising additional debt. As of June 30, 2017, Cellcom’s net debt amounts to approximately NIS 3,166 million (includes NIS43 million which is attributed to accrued interest). A change for the worse in Cellcom’s results of operations, and any additional reduction of Cellcom’s rating and its debentures may adversely affect also the price and terms of Cellcom’s current debt, and the raising of additional debt. An increase of interest debt services may cause us to default and our obligations which may have an adverse effect on Cellcom and IDBD.

Cellcom dependens on certain suppliers.

Cellcom is dependent upon several suppliers which provide it with network equipment, end user equipment, content and content operation services, information systems and infrastructures. Cellcom’s business results may be adversely affected if any of those suppliers do not provide its support products and/or services at the required level of quality or on time, or in conditions which do not benefit Cellcom, or provides to Cellcom’s competitors preferable conditions, or if the suppliers do not succeed in creating successful or in-demand products or content, in the absence of an equivalent alternative. Thus, for example, Bezeq suffered from strikes and breaches of regulatory duties with respect to the provision of wholesale services in an egalitarian manner to those which are provided to its retail customers, or refused to offer services at all. Similar scenarios to the foregoing may occur in the future and adversely affect Cellcom.

Cellcom is subject to a dividend distribution policy.

If Cellcom does not comply with its dividend distribution policy, or if it distributed dividends at a rate lower than expected by the investors, this may result in an adverse impact on Cellcom’s share price. Furthermore, the aforementioned dividend policy may reduce Cellcom’s cash balances and adversely affect its ability to finance unexpected expenses in the future. As a result, Cellcom may be required to borrow additional funds or to issue additional shares in accordance with unattractive conditions which may dilute IDBD’s equity interest in Cellcom, or Cellcom may encounter difficulties in obtaining financing sources for these funds, which may affect its financial resultas..

Cellcom may not be successful with its investments in new lines of business.

Cellcom invested, and is expected to continue investing, in the development of new lines of business, with the aim of expanding and supplementing its services and its array of offered products, such as television over internet services, and a possible investment in a nationally distributed, broadscale cable infrastructure which Cellcom is considering. These efforts involve significant risks and uncertainties, including deviating managerial attention, loss of focus in sales and marketing efforts from core operations, absence of sufficient income to balance out the liabilities and expenses which are associated with the new investments, adverse effects on cash flows, particularly in business operations which require a long term investment and fixed amounts, such as with respect to the acquisition of content for the television over internet service, insufficient return on investment, regulatory changes which may impose additional unplanned liabilities, inability to effectively compete with the current competitors in the market or with new competitors entering the market, issues which were not identified in the evaluation of the aforementioned strategies and products, such as operational difficulties and significant investments which were insufficiently predicted, if at all. Such circumstances may also affect Cellcom’s ability to distribute dividends and, thus, adversely affects IDBD’s results of operations. These investments are risky by nature, and therefore, there is no certainty that the aforementioned strategies or products will be successful, and, if not, that they will not have a significantly adverse effect on Cellcom’s goodwill, financial position and results of operations. Additionally, its entry to new business operations, as stated above, may result in the intensification of the competitive pressures by the current suppliers of competing services over Cellcom’s core operations, in order to prevent its efforts to compete against them in the relevant market.

Employee unions may limit Cellcom’s operating activities.

The employee union may restrict Cellcom’s operating activities, including Cellcom’s possibility of implementing organizational and personnel changes, and may require significant managerial attention. Additionally, future disputes with representatives of the employee union, such as concerning the renewed fight over the collective agreement, may result in the initiation of organizational steps and in adverse effects on the services and on the customer service of Cellcom. Such measures may also cause changes, may fail to be implemented in a manner significantly different than planned, and as a result, may result in lower savings than planned, or in conficts with employees.

An increase in construction costs may affect PBC results of operations.

Changes in the consumer price index and/or in the construction input price index may have an adverse effect on the construction price of new properties, and indirectly on the results of operations of PBC. Additionally, the economic situation of the executing contractors in Israel may have an effect on PBC, due to the decrease in the supply of contractors, the increase in construction costs, and the extension of timetables for the construction of projects. An increase of the construction costs may affect our operating margins and profitability, and thus have a negative effect on PBC’s results of operations.

PBC results of operations may be affected by the increase of the supply of rental areas.

A significant decrease in the growth rate in the Israeli economy, and a significant increase in the surplus supply of rental areas, due to the construction of additional office and commercial areas which may cause a decrease in the rental prices, and may affect the income of PBC from revenue-generating properties.

PBC ’s operational activities depends on availability of raw materials and workforce.

An ongoing delay or shortage in raw materials or skilled construction workers may affect the ability of the prime contractors with whom PBC engages to meet the original timetables for the completion of the PBC’s projects, and the cost of the works which are paid by PBC. Intensification of the shortage of workforce in the construction segment in general, and of the foreign workers in the construction segment in particular, also affect wages in the construction segment, which may affect construction costs and timetables for the completion of projects. The cost of salary also affects the operations of PBC, such as security and cleaning works, by changes in the minimum wage in the market, and to collective agreements which apply to the aforementioned activities.

PBC is exposed to changes in legislation and standardization.

Changes in permits, regulations, restrictions and government oversight, such as changes in municipal tax laws in areas where PBC properties are located, may increase costs and negatively affect the operations and results of PBC. The activities of PBC in the residential segment may also be affected by regulatory changes in connection with the marketing of apartments and lands, and in taxation in connection therewith. Higher taxes on costs related to the compliance with new regulations may adversely affect PBC’s results.

PBC is exposed to changes in securities prices.

PBC is exposed volatility in the prices of securities (primarily debentures) on the stock exchange, with respect to the investment of some of its cash surplus in such securities.

PBC is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

The activities of PBC in Israel are not directly affected by fluctuations in the US$:NIS exchange rate, due to the fact that the rent charged by PBC from its customers, and the loans which it has raised, are linked to the consumer price index. However, PCB has foreign currency risk due to its foreign investing activities, the financing used in connection therewith, and the operating cost related to those investments. Additionally, in light of the fact that some of the customers of PBC in Israel are international companies, which managed their activities in US$, in case of a decrease in the exchange rate, rent becomes more expensive relative to the US$, and therefore, there is pressure on international lessees to reduce the NIS rent accordingly. In addition, an increase in the rent PBC charges may cause some clients to terminate their agreements and, thus, affect its results. Therefore, a decrease in the rent PBC charges or the decrease of occupancy of its buildings may negatively affect its results of operations.

Important changes in interest rate risks may affect the value of PBC’s properties.

Extreme changes in interest rate risks in Israel and abroad may affect the value of PBC’s properties. The higher the interest rates increase, the higher the required return on the properties, and the lower the value of the property as a result, and vice versa.

PBC may have to face difficulties in financing and raising capital.

Developments in the financial crisis in Israel and around the world may negatively affect the possibilities of PBC to raise funding for additional investments. Additionally, restrictions on the maximum scope of credit which the commercial banks in Israel are entitled to provide to each of the member companies of the IDB Group as a “single borrower,” including PBC and the other member companies of PBC, may affect the ability of PBC to receive financing from financial institutions, or the scope thereof. Additionally, PBC may be affected by specific restrictions which could affect the banks’ ability to provide financing to the real estate segment, such as stringent requirements regarding capital adequacy and restrictions regarding branch-specific exposure.

Shufersal on key suppliers.

Shufersal business depends on the provision of certain products by key providers. There is no certainty that these key suppliers, or other large suppliers, will continue to provide their products or maintain the terms at which Shufersal acquire them, or that they will not significantly change their pricing policies, or encounter difficulties in the provision of products to Shufersal. In such cases, Shufersal may not continue to offer its products in the current terms or provide them at all, therefore Shufersal’s business affairs, financial position and results of operations may be negatively affected.

Shufersal may have to affront risks related to approvals and licenses.

The operation of branches in the Shufersal chain, acquisition of new branches, and Shufersal’s operations with respect to land development, require obtaining approvals and licenses from governmental entities. Some of the branches in the Shufersal chain require licenses or approvals which have not yet been obtained, or whose validity has expired, and require renewal. If Shufersal is unsuccessful in obtaining or renewing such approvals or licenses, including those related to its main branches, Shufersal may be required to close those branches, or to take corrective actions with respect to such branches or real estate developments. The inabillity to open new shops or maintain our main branches may have a negative effect on our operations.

Shufersal may have to face risks related to changes in regulation.

Shufersal is subject to legislation with respect to business and sanitation, as well as new consumer legislation which confers extensive authorities upon the Israel Consumer Protection and Fair Trade Authority, consumer legislation, price regulation and the minimum wage legislation. Changes in such regulations may adversely affect the business affairs of Shufersal, its financial position and its results of operations. It is noted that an increase in the minimum wage may result in adverse effects to the financial results of Shufersal, including its profitability. Additionally, the Commissioner’s determinations regarding the rules for conduct between the large marketing chains, of which Shufersal is one, and dominant suppliers in the good segment, including by virtue of the provisions of the Food Law, and regarding the merger of Shufersal with Clubmarket, may adversely affect Shufersal’s business affairs, financial position and results of operations.

Shufersal may be affected by the competition.

The retail business in Israel is highly competitive. Shufersal closely monitors the developments in the Israel retail sector, and adjusts its operations, if and insofar as is required, in accordance with those developments. Shufersal is dealing with the competition in this sector, by continuing the implementation of its business plan. Competitive pressures, including the responses of competitors and of the market to Shufersal’s strategy and the manner of its implementation, may result in adverse effects to Shufersal’s ability to deal with the foregoing, and may lead to the reduction of prices, lower margins, and the loss of market share in a manner which may have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s business affairs, financial position and results of operations.

Shufersal may have to face risks associated with changes of real estate.

Shufersal owns, wholly or partially, several shopping malls and commercial centers, in which its branches constitutes anchor stores, as well as additional areas which are used by Shufersal branches. The ownerships of these properties is exposed to risks associated with real estate properties, such as adverse changes in the state of the local economy, excess of supply, decreased demand, adverse regional real estate markets, and lower occupancy rates, rent, and revenues, and changes in the value of the properties. Such events may have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s operations and financial position. In addition, a failure by Shufersal to recruit or maintain tenants to occupy its properties in general, and tenants of large properties in particular, may have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s real estate business activities.

Additionally, an ongoing recession, if any, due to an economic downturn or crisis, may cause an increase of vacancy of the rented properties and/or a reduction in rent Shufersal charges for those properties.

Shufersal is subject to risks related to product liability and production quality.

Shufersal, through a wholly owned subsidiary, operates three production plants, and accordingly, Shufersal is subject to risks related to themanufacturing of food products. A significant defect in those products or in itd designmay adversely affect Shufersal’s business affairs, financial position and results of operations.

Shufersal markets different products, including drugs, food products and hygiene products, which have a particular impact on the health of its customers. Many laws and regulations grant the rights and causes of actions to an injured party or a group of injured parties which suffered any damage due to a defective product which is assembled, stored, marketed or sold by Shufersal. Although Shufersal is insured against risks with respect to the aforementioned product liability, if damage is caused to a consumer and/or to a group of consumers as a result of such products, Shufersal may be liable for such damage in a manner which could have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s business affairs, financial position and results of operations.

If Shufersal is unable to make use of its logistical centers, for any reason whatsoever, its ability to distribute its products to its branches may be impaired.

According to Shufersal’s estimate, it will be able to prepare for direct distribution of the majority of its products to all of its stores within a reasonable period of time, and in accordance with the ability of suppliers to supply the products directly to the stores. In light of Shufersal’s insurance coverage, Shufersal estimates that this matter will not significantly affect its results. Additionally, if physical damage is caused to the building of the logistical center where Shufersal management is located or to the aforementioned logistical centers, the matter may have a significantly adverse impact on Shufersal’s operations and results.

Shufersal may have risks related to the collective labor agreement.

Most of Shufersal’s employees are covered by collective labor agreement, and Shufersal cannot be certain that this agreement will be renewed, from time to time, or renegotiated in the same or familiar terms, or without involving any direct action by the union, such as a strike. If a dispute arises with employees which involves a strike or adverse effect to the activities of Shufersal or such events may have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s business affairs, financial position and results of operations. Additionally, any re-negotiation of collective agreements results in additional payroll expenses which may affect Shufersal profitability and result of operations.

A defect in a product of Shufersal’s brand may imply a fall in reputation.

Shufersal has a wide variety of branded food and beverage products which enjoy many years of reputation, as well as products under the private brand. Negative publicity to this reputation by means of various publications, or by other means, may affect Shufersal’s sales and adversely affect Shufersal’s profitability, regardless of the correctness of those publications. Additionally, a defect in a certain product may also affect the brand under which Shufersal sells that product, as well as the entire family of products which is marketed under the same brand. However, Shufersal endeavors to protect its brands and reputation, by strictly overseeing the quality of the raw materials which it uses in the manufacturing of the products, the production processes, the finished products and the advertising messages.

Shufersal is exposed to risks associated with the issuance of the voucher cards, including as regards fraud and theft.

Shufersal issues vouchers and electronic voucher cards for the acquisition of products in its stores and at other retailers with whom Shufersal has engaged for this purpose. Despite the fact that Shufersal has taken measures to reduce these risks, significant fraud may have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s business affairs, financial position and results of operations.

A failure in information processing and IT systems may adversely affect Shufersal’s operating activities.

Shufersal makes use of various information and IT systems. Shufersal’s central information systems (and their backup systems) are located in and around the logistical centers which are used to manage its distribution network. Shufersal takes various steps in order to ensure the functionality and reliability of the various information and IT systems, including by securing and backing up the information. However, a collapse of the information and IT systems may have an adverse effect on Shufersal’s operating activities. Shufersal makes use of systems and computer programs, some in accordance with licenses which it has acquired. A significant part of the aforementioned licenses are not restricted by time. However, Shufersal engages with the license holders in agreements for the receipt of service and support for the aforementioned systems and programs, for periods of one year. Shufersal ensures to engage with suppliers with a solid reputation and financial stability. However, if such suppliers are unable to continue providing Shufersal with their services, Shufersal will be forced to engage with other suppliers, which may have an adverse effect on our processes which may have an andverse effect on our results.

Shufersal may face restrictions of the Bank of Israel regarding a “single borrower” and a “group of borrowers.

Shufersal is considered as belonging to a “group of borrowers,” as part of the IDB Group. As of the reporting date, the balance of bank credit of Shufersal and its subsidiaries is insignificant.

Shufersal may be limited by the Anti-trust law in case it pursues any future operations in the food retail segment.

Shufersal achieved a significant part of its past growth by acquiring various retail operations. Future acquisitions of various operations in the food retail segment by Shufersal may require approval of the Antitrust Authority, which may not be granted or under terms favorable to Shufersal. As of the reporting date, taking into consideration of the structure of the retail market, the restrictions which are imposed on Shufersal by law, and the provisions of the Food Law we estimate that Shufersal may not be able to acquire material entity in the retail segment.

Important variations in interest rates may affect the value of Clal.

One of the primary exposure of Clal is to interest rate decreases, since the average lifetime of its liabilities is significantly longer than the average lifetime of the assets. Clal invests its assets in different securities and such return of investments is subject to the variations of the interest rates.Therefore our capacity and results depend, in part, on the return o our investments. In the current interest rate environment, the Clal is also exposed, from an accounting perspective, to losses in certain scenarios involving an interest rate decrease due to the impact of such changes on the discount rates that are used in the calculation of the reserves for pension, and in the liability adequacy test (“LAT”) and in a scope which may exceed the capital gains which will be created in that scenario with respect to interest-sensitive assets.

Clal may have to face risks related to inflation.

Clal is exposed to an increase in the inflation rate, due to the fact that the majority of insurance liabilities of Clal are adjusted on a quarterly basis in accordance with the inflation rate, while the assets held against them are not necessarily CPI-linked. Our results depend on our revenues and return of invetments, so, in a high inflation environment our assets may not generate enough return to cover the CPI- adjusted liabilities.

Other assets price risk.

Some of the assets of Clal and some of the assets managed for others are invested in alternative investments, which include investments in real estate and in real estate funds, investment funds, non-marketable stocks and additional investment instruments which are exposed changes in their value.

International economic slowdown and price declines in capital markets may affect Clal’s operating activities.

Clal invests in financial assets in international capital markets, and in other foreign assets. Therefore, a price decline due to a global or regional crisis or slowdown may affect our investment portfolio and the return of such investments.

Clal may face credit risks.

Clal is exposed to the possibility of financial loss as a result of the insolvency of borrowers and other debtors (through financial assets in the assets portfolio, through activities involving policies in accordance with the Sales Law, and credit insurance) with respect to its investments in debt instruments. Additionally, an increase in insolvency of businesses in Israel may also increase the amounts of claims of the directors ’ and officers ’ liability insurance sector in which Clal operates, and the scope of employers’ debts with respect to the non-transfer of payments for pension insurance with respect to their employees. In its portfolio of assets, Clal is exposed to the various market sectors, of which the main ones are the banking and financial industries, the real estate in Israel sector, and the infrastructure and energy sector. A decline in activity, slow downs or crisis in such sectors may have a negative impact on our investments and, thus, on the results of our operations.

Clal may face insurance risks.

Clal is primarily exposed to the occurrence of more events or to greater severity of events covered by its policies, as compared with the actuarial assumptions, or an accumulation of damages due to a catastrophic event, which may cause liabilities higher than our reserves and provisions. Loss reserves are established such that the provision for losses and benefits represents an amount that is believed to be greater than the mathematically expected amount that will be required to ultimately settle all claims incurred in a certain period of time. As such the provision makes allowance for identified sensitivities underlying the reserve estimates. These estimates are based on actuarial and statistical projections, at a given time, of facts and circumstances known at that time and estimates of trends in loss severity and other variable factors, including new concepts of liability or other changes in legal precedents and general economic conditions.

A decrease on the portfolio level may imply a risk for Clal.

The rates of cancellation, freezing and transfers constitute a significant assumption in the life and health insurance businesses, due to the fact that the profitability in this segment is based on a margin in premiums, and on the collection of management fees throughout the lifetime of the policy. The cancellation of policies also leads to the write-off of deferred acquisition costs with respect to those policies. Likewise, stability of reinsurers also means a risk for Clal. Clal transfers some of their business risk with reinsurance, mostly through foreign reinsurers. However, the reinsurance does not release the direct insurers from their obligation towards their policyholders according to the insurance policies. Such reinsurers may become financially unable or unwilling to honour their commitments by the time they are called upon to pay amounts due, which may not occur for many years. In addition, reinsurance may prove inadequate to protect against losses or may become unavailable in the future at commercially reasonable rates.

Clal may affront claims due to catastrophes.

Clal may be subject to a sudden increase in claims due to a single large impact event (catastrophe) witha large scope of damages,such as an earthquake. Clal is exposed to other catastrophic events such as war and terrorism risks in Israel.

Changes in legislation and regulation may affect Clal.

Clal is an insurance company and, as such, develops its business in a highly regulated industry and is exposed to continuing changes in legislation and regulation pertaining to its operating segments. In particular, some of the regulatory changes which were recently performed and which are proposed, some as non-final drafts, may have an adverse effect on Clal’s business model. Additionally, changes in legislation and regulation, including circulars, determinations in principle, position papers and provisions which the Commissioner of Capital Markets is authorized to impose in connection with changes to policy terms, including tariffs which may affect Clal, including to products which were sold in the past, both by way of retroactive application and due to their effect on the interpretation of agreements which were signed in the past, may have an adverse effect on Clal’s business.

Significant operations in Clal are subject to detailed and complex regulation .

In particular, the insurance and long term savings activities are subject to regulatory directives which change from time to time, with respect to products which were sold over many years, and which have long insurance coverage periods and/or savings periods.

The institutional entities in Clal are exposed to the risk of decline below the minimum capital required, which may result in the initiation of regulatory actions against them. Clal is subject to restrictions and conditions by virtue of control permits for the institutional entities which are under its control, including the capital maintenance requirement.

Clal may face liquidity risks.

Clal may face liquidity challenges due to the uncertainty associated with the date in which Clal will be required to pay claims and other benefits to policyholders and to other beneficiaries, relative to the total amount of reserves which are available for this purpose at that time. Loss reserves are established based on certain assumptions and actuarial calculations. An increase of claims, lower return on investments or the inability to sell our investments on time or at attractive prices may cause our claims to be in excess of our loss reserves. Liquidity risk may increase upon the materialization of a significant catastrophic event.

Clal may have to face risks related to model, risk and underwriting risk.

Clal is exposed, in its insurance activities, to the risk of the selection of a wrong model for pricing, for the estimation of insurance liabilities, to risk of the use of incorrect parameters in models, and to risk of the use of incorrect pricing as a result of deficiencies in the underwriting process.

Clal is exposed to operational risks.

Risk of loss due to inadequacy or failure of internal processes, people and systems, or due to external events. In light of the scope of activities of Clal, and despite the actions taken by it to identify the risks and to establish appropriate controls, the scope of its exposure to the operational risks of the type specified above is significant.

Clal depends significantly on technology and technological changes may imply investments in order to maintain competitive.

A significant part of the activities of Clal relies on different information systems. The absence of sufficient infrastructure and/or deficiencies and/or failures in the computerized information systems may cause significant adverse effects to Clal operations. A disruption of operations may have significant operating and financial losses.

The activities of Clal depends of external suppliers, and any change on them may imply a risk for Clal.

As part of its activities, Clal engages in agreements with various suppliers and service providers. Clal is exposed to the risk of harm to its reputation and profitability as a result of harm to the service quality which is provided to it and to its customers, as well as risks associated with difficulty in finding an alternative provider, if necessary.

The non-binding offer for Clal shares may have a negative impact on its market price and, consequently, on our results of operations.

On May 2017, IDBD agreed to the sale of 5% of Clal’s shares jointly with a swap transaction. Accordingly, such shares were sold on May 4, 2017, free from any encumbrance, for a price of NIS59.86 per share (i.e., for an aggregate amount of approximately NIS166 million, equivalent to approximately US$697 million at the exchange rate prevailing on such date).

Under the terms of the swap agreement, IDBD retains the main risks and benefits of all of Clal’s shares; for such reason, as of June 2017 all of Clal’s shares were recorded as a financial assets held for sale, and a liability of Ps.783 million was recorded. The valuation of such shares as of June 30, 2017, is Ps.8,564 million and a gain of Ps.2,513 million has been recorded under net financial results for this fiscal year as a result of the increase in the fair value of these shares.

Following instructions imparted by Israel’s Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Commission to the Trustee regarding the guidelines for selling Clal’s shares, on August 2017, IDBD sold 5% of its equity interest in Clal by way of a swap transaction, pursuant to terms identical to those applied to the swap transaction made and reported to the market on May 2017. The consideration for the transaction was an amount of approximately NIS 164 million. Upon completion of the transaction, IDBD’s equity interest in Clal was reduced from 49.9% to 44.9% of its stock capital.

On September 2017, IDBD’s Board of Directors approved entering into a non-binding offer with Huabang Financial Holdings Limited for the sale of its entire equity interest in Clal, representing 44.9% of its stock capital. The transaction is subject to a due diligence process, to be conducted by the purchaser for a term of 60 days after the execution of a memorandum of understanding, and the execution of a binding agreement among the parties, among other requirements. Moreover, the consummation of the transaction is subject to the approval of Israel’s Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Commission reporting to the Israeli Ministry of Finance. For more information, see “Recent development – Operations Center in Israel – Sale of Interest in Clal.” On September 5, 2017 it was announced that Clal had made an erroneous calculation of the amounts standing to the credit of the plaintiff and the members of the class in profit-sharing policies, and regarding the filing of a settlement in the action and a motion to approve it, the Company gave an update that Clal reported, since the Attorney- General did not file any opposition, the Tel Aviv District Labor Law Court approved the settlement between the parties.

The request to sell the shares of CLAL in 5% tranches and the non-binding offer could cause a negative impact on the market price. A decrease in the market price of Clal’s shares would cause an immediate effect in our income statements and financial results.

Risks Related to the ADSs and the Common Shares.

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

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

The ADSs are freely transferable under U.S. securities laws, including common shares sold to our affiliates. IFISA, which as of June 30, 2017, owned approximately 30.8% of our common shares (or approximately 154,557,259 common shares which may be exchanged for an aggregate of 15,455,726 ADSs), is free to dispose of any or all of its common shares or ADSs at any time in its discretion. Sales of a large number of our common shares and/or ADSs would likely have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and the ADSs.

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

We may issue additional shares of our common stock for financing future acquisitions or new projects or for other general corporate purposes. Any such issuance could result in a dilution of your ownership stake and/or the perception of any such issuances could have an adverse impact on the market price of the ADSs.

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

There is less publicly available information about the issuers of securities listed on the Argentine stock exchanges than information publicly available about domestic issuers of listed securities in the United States and certain other countries. Although the ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, as a foreign private issuer we are able to rely on home country governance requirements rather than relying on the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements. See “Item 16G. Corporate Governance—Compliance with NASDAQ listing Standards on Corporate Governance.” Additionally, as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act” including (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until four months after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from the Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders companies that are not foreign private issuers.

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

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

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

Based on the current and projected composition of our income and valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ending June 30, 2017, and we do not currently expect to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition or if our projections are not accurate. The volatility and instability of Argentina’s economic and financial system may substantially affect the composition of our income and assets and the accuracy of our projections. In addition, this determination is based on the interpretation of certain U.S. Treasury regulations relating to rental income, which regulations are potentially subject to differing interpretation. If we become a PFIC, U.S. Holders (as defined in “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Taxation”) of our common shares or ADSs will be subject to certain United States federal income tax rules that have negative consequences for U.S. Holders such as additional tax and an interest charge upon certain distributions by us or upon a sale or other disposition of our common shares or ADSs at a gain, as well as reporting requirements. See ‘‘Item 10. E—Taxation—United States Taxation—Passive Foreign Investment Company’’ for a more detailed discussion of the consequences if we are deemed a PFIC. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your particular circumstances.

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

On September 23, 2013, the Argentine income tax law was amended by the passage of Law No. 26,893. Under the amended law, the sale, exchange or other transfer of shares and other securities is subject to a capital gain tax at a rate of 15% for Argentine resident individuals and foreign beneficiaries. There is an exemption for Argentine resident individuals if certain requirements are met; however, there is no such exemption for non-Argentine residents. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation —Argentine Taxation.” However, as of the date hereof many aspects of the amended tax law remain unclear and, pursuant to certain announcements made by Argentine tax authorities, they are subject to further rulemaking and interpretation, which may adversely affect the tax treatment of our common shares and/or ADSs. Also, the amended law had established an income tax at a rate of 10% in the distribution of dividends; however, this has been repealed by Law No. 27,260.

The income tax treatment of income derived from the sale of ADSs, dividends or exchanges of shares from the ADS facility may not be uniform under the revised Argentine income tax law. The possibly varying treatment of source income could impact both Argentine resident holders as well as non-Argentine resident holders.

In addition, should a sale of ADSs be deemed to give rise to Argentine source income, as of the date of this annual report no regulations are in force regarding the mechanism for paying the Argentine capital gains tax when the sale exclusively involves non-Argentine parties, despite the fact that Law No. 27,260 further provides that in such case (i.e. both seller and buyer are non residents) the buyer is in charge of paying the tax.

In this connection, on July 20, 2017, General Resolution (AFIP) 4095-E suspended for 180 days the entry into force of General Resolution 4094-E by which, almost four years after Congress –by virtue of passing Law No 26,893- imposed a capital gains tax on the gains recognized by nonresidents on the sale of shares, quotas or other equity participations in Argentine companies as well as “other securities” of Argentine residents, the AFIP had implemented a payment mechanism for resident and nonresident buyers. The new resolution, currently suspended, was applicable to transactions that occurred on or after September 23, 2013.

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

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

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

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

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

Restrictions on the movement of capital out of Argentina may impair your ability to receive dividends and distributions on, and the proceeds of any sale of, the common shares underlying the ADSs.

The Argentine government may impose restrictions on the conversion of Argentine currency into foreign currencies and on the remittance to foreign investors of proceeds from their investments in Argentina. Argentine law currently permits the government to impose these kind of restrictions temporarily in circumstances where a serious imbalance develops in Argentina’s balance of payments or where there are reasons to foresee such an imbalance. We cannot assure you that the Argentine government will not take measures in the future. In such a case, the ADS Depositary for the ADSs may hold the Pesos it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid.

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

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

We may not pay any dividends.

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

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

In accordance with Argentine corporate law, we may pay dividends in Pesos out of retained earnings, if any, to the extent set forth in our audited financial statements. Our ability to generate retained earnings is subject to the results of our operations. Therefore, our ability to pay dividends is subject to the compliance with the Argentine Corporate Law.

Item 4. Information on the Company

A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

General Information

Our legal name is Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria, and our commercial name is “Cresud.” We were incorporated and organized on December 31, 1936 under Argentine law as a stock corporation ( sociedad anónima ) and were registered with the Public Registry of Commerce of the City of Buenos Aires ( Inspección General de Justicia ), on February 19, 1937 under number 26, on page 2, book 45 of National By-laws Volume. Pursuant to our bylaws, our term of duration expires on July 6, 2082. Our headquarters are located at Moreno 877, 23rd Floor (C1091AAQ), Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Our telephone is +54 (11) 4814-7800, and our website is www.cresud.com.ar.

Information contained in or accessible through our website is not a part of this annual report on Form 20-F. All references in this annual report on Form 20-F to this or other internet sites are inactive textual references to these URLs, or “uniform resource locators” and are for information purposes only. We assume no responsibility for the information contained on these sites.

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 administer 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 1995, 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 7 farmlands and 20,000 hectares under management.

In line with our international expansion strategy, on 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.

As of June 30, 2017, we held a 43.43% interest in Brasilagro’s stock capital.

In March 2008 we concluded a capital increase of 180 million shares. As a result, 180 million shares offered at the subscription price of US$1.60 or Ps.5.0528 per share were fully subscribed, in the local and international markets. In addition, each shareholder received, without additional cost, one warrant for each share subscribed. See Item 9 “The Offer and Listing – A. Offer and Listing Details - Stock Exchanges in which our securities are listed.” This capital increase allowed us to expand our international operations to Paraguay and Bolivia.

As part of a series of transactions that implied a further expansion of the Company’s agricultural and cattle raising business in South America, in July 2008, the Company purchased, through various companies, 12,166 hectares located in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Republic of Bolivia, for a total price of US$ 28.9 million. On the other hand, in September 2008, the Company entered into a series of agreements for accessing the real estate, agricultural and cattle raising and forestry markets of the Republic of Paraguay. Under these agreements, a new company was organized together with Carlos Casado S.A., named Cresca S.A. (“Cresca”), in which the Company held a 50% interest and acted as adviser for the agricultural, cattle raising and forestry exploitation of a 41,931-hectare rural property and up to 100,000 additional hectares located in Paraguay under a purchase option already exercised, which expired in 2013.

In November 2012, Brasilagro’s shares became listed as Level II ADRs on the NYSE, under the ticker LND.

In December 2013, Cresud sold to its subsidiary Brasilagro its entire interest in Cresca, representing 50% of its stock capital.

As of June 30, 2017, we had a 63.76% equity interest in IRSA (without considering treasury shares). 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. A majority of our directors are also directors of IRSA.

In October 11, 2015, continuing with our strategy of expansion and diversification in the international markets, we gained control of the Israeli conglomerate IDBD. IDBD is one of the largest and most diversified holding companies in Israel. Through its subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and other investments, IDBD is engaged in numerous markets and industry sectors in Israel and other countries, including real estate (PBC), supermarkets (Shufersal), insurance (Clal), and telecommunications (Cellcom). The Company is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) as a “Debentures Company” pursuant to Israeli law, as it has publicly listed bonds. As a result of the consolidation of this investment in the Company’s financial statements, we decided to break down IRSA’s reporting into an Operations Center in Argentina and an Operations Center in Israel. From the Operations Center in Argentina, IRSA manages its businesses in Argentina and the international investments in the Lipstick Building in New York and the Condor Hospitality Trust Hotel REIT. From the Operations Center in Israel, IRSA manages IDBD.

In October 2016, Brasilagro and Carlos Casado executed an agreement whereby they proposed to put up for sale, for a term of 120 days, all Cresca’s real property for a price of at least US$ 120 million, or 100% of Cresca’s outstanding shares, or to divide Cresca’s assets. As no bids for the shares and/or the real property were received, the shareholders Carlos Casado S.A. and Brasilagro started a corporate reorganization and asset division process. In June 2017, the shareholders’ meeting resolved upon the spin-off and amendment of the bylaws intended to implement the spin-off procedure. Moreover, the shareholders reached an agreement on the most equitable method for balancing and distributing their respective contributions and receivables. As of the date of this report, we were in the process of completing all relevant steps to conclude the spin-off.

Capital increase in Condor

In January 2017, Condor issued 150,540 new warrants in favor of RES with the right to one share each, at an exercise price of US$0.001 million per share, maturing in January 2019. The new warrants replace the previous 3,750,000 warrants, which granted a right to one share each, at an exercise price of US$1.92 million per share, maturing on January 31, 2017. It should be noted that the new warrants cannot be exercised should the interest in Condor exceed 49.5% as a result of the exercise. Additionally, the Company exercised the conversion right of 3,245,156 series D preferred shares (with a par value of US$10 each) held by RES, converting them into 20,282,225 common shares of Condor (with a par value of US$0.01 each), i.e., at the conversion price established of US$1.60 per share, which represents a total value of US$32.4 million. Besides, it received 487,738 series E preferred shares that can be converted into common shares at US$2.13 each as from February 28, 2019, and pay dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 6.25%. RES allocated the considerations paid among the different identifiable net assets of Condor; as a result, it recognized a higher value for property, plant and equipment, a lower value of loans and goodwill in the amount of US$5.69, US$0.27 million and US$6.37 million, respectively.

During February, Condor’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split, consisting of one common share for every 6.5 shares issued and outstanding, which was carried out after the market closing on March 15, 2017. The par value of the shares remained at US$0.01 each, while the conversion price of Series E preferred shares became US$13.845 per share and the exercise price of the warrants became US$0.0065 million.

During March 2017, Condor made a public offering of its shares, which resulted in the issuance of 4,772,500 new shares (including 622,500 additional shares for the exercise of one call option granted to the subscribers), at a price of US$10.50 each. The Company did not take part in it.

As a consequence of the events described above, as of June 30, 2017, the Company held 3,314,453 common shares of Condor representing roughly 28.5% of the Condor’s share capital and voting rights. It also held 487,738 series E preferred shares, 23,160 warrants and a promissory note convertible into 97,269 common shares (at US$10.4 per share). The Board of Directors of Condor is formed by 4 directors of the company, 3 directors appointed by Stepstone Real Estate and 2 independent directors. In addition, the voting power held by the company in Condor amounts to 49%, thus keeping significant influence.

BACS

The Company, through Tyrus, entered into a purchase-sale agreement for the subscription of shares of BACS, representing an interest of 6.125% in BACS. The transaction amounts to US$1.35 million. On August 24, 2016 the operation was approved by the BCRA.

The Company, through IRSA, on June 17, 2015, subscribed Convertible Notes, issued by BACS with an aggregate nominal value of Ps.100 million convertible into common stock of BACS. On June 21, 2016 we notified BACS the exercise of the right to convert all of the convertible notes and acquire common shares of BACS. On February 7, 2017, the BCRA approved such conversion, whereby IRSA acquired 25,313,251 shares of common stock of BACS. As a result, on June 30, 2017, the Company holds an interest of 37.72%.

Acquisition of equity interest in EHSA

On July 2016, the Company through IRSA Propiedades Comerciales acquired 20% of EHSA shares, a company of which it already owned 50%, and 1.25% of ENUSA. The amount paid for the acquisition was Ps.53 million. As a result of this, the Company holds 70% of the share capital and voting stock of EHSA. In addition, EHSA holds, both directly and indirectly, 100% of the shares of OASA and 95% of the shares of ENUSA. Furthermore, OASA holds 50% of the voting stock of LRSA, a company that holds the rights to commercially operate the emblematic “Predio Ferial de Palermo” in the City of Buenos Aires, where the SRA holds the remaining 50%.

Acquisition of additional interest in Banco Hipotecario

During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Company acquired 3,289,029 additional shares of Banco Hipotecario in a total amount of Ps.14.2, thus increasing its interest in such company from 29.77% to 29.99%, without consideration of Treasury shares. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company sold 1,115,165 shares of Banco Hipotecario in a total amount of Ps.7.7 million, thus increasing its interest to 29.91%, without considering treasury shares.

Rigby capital reduction

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

On July 17, 2016, DIC accepted the offer by ChemChina to acquire 40% of Adama’s shares currently held by Koor. In August 2016, Koor and a subsidiary of ChemChina executed the corresponding agreement. The price of the transaction included a payment in cash of US$230 million plus the total repayment of the non-recourse loan and its interests, which had been granted to Koor by a Chinese bank. On November 22, 2016, the transaction was closed and Koor received cash in the amount of US$230 million. The interest in the results of Adama and the finance costs related to the hybrid financial instrument are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income / (Operations) as from July 17, 2016 on a retroactive basis. On June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of Ps.4,216 million.

During March 2017, IDBD exercised all of DIC’s Series 5 and 6 warrants for nearly NIS210 million (approximately equivalent to Ps.882 million as of that date), thereby increasing its direct interest in DIC to nearly 70% of such company’s share capital as of that date and the Company's equity interest to 79.47%. Subsequently, third parties not related to the Company, also exercised their warrants, thus diluting the Company’s interest in DIC to 77.25%.

Partial sale of equity interest in PBC

DIC sold 12% of its equity interest in PBC for a total amount of NIS217 million (approximately equivalent to Ps.810 million); as a result, DIC’s interest in PBC has declined to 64.4%.

Partial sale of equity interest in Gav Yam

On December 5, 2016, PBC sold 280,873 shares of its subsidiary Gav-Yam Land Corporation Ltd. for an amount of NIS391 million (equivalent to Ps.1,616 million as of that date). As a result of this transaction, the Company’s equity interest in Gav-Yam has decreased to 55.06%.

Negotiations between Israir and Sun D’or

On June 30, 2017, IDB Tourism was at an advanced stage of negotiations with Sun D’or International Airlines Ltd. (“Sun D’or”), a subsidiary of El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. (“El Al”), and on July 2, 2017 an agreement was signed, which consists of:

●

Israir will sell the aircraft it owns through a sale and lease back agreement for an estimated value of US$70 million.

●

Israir will repay a loan owed to IDB Tourism in the amount of US$18 million;

●

Following the repayment of the loan and the sale of airplanes mentioned above, IDB Tourism will receive un to US$45 million (which includes a loan of up to US$8.8 million to be discharged through the distribution of dividends of Sun D’ Or), plus a 25% of Sun D´Or shares, with El Al holding a 75% of the shares of such company;

●

IDBD

Acquisition of Control

On May 2014, the Company, acting indirectly through Dolphin, acquired jointly with ETH an aggregate number of 106.6 million common shares in IDBD, representing 53.30% of its stock capital, within the debt restructuring process of IDBH, IDBD’s parent company, with its creditors (the “Arrangement”). Under the terms of the agreement entered into, Dolphin acquired a 50% interest in this investment, and ETH acquired the remaining 50% and both entities entered into a shareholders' agreement. The total initial investment amount was NIS950 million, equivalent to approximately US$272 million at the exchange rate prevailing on that date. On May 2015, ETH launched the BMBY mechanism provided in the Shareholders’ Agreement, clause, which establishes that each party of the Shareholders’ Agreement may offer to the counterparty to acquire (or sell, as the case may be), the shares it holds in IDBD at a fixed price. In June 2015, Dolphin gave notice to ETH of its intention to buy all the shares of IDBD held by ETH.

After certain aspects of the offer were resolved through an arbitration process brought by the parties, on September 24, 2015, the competent arbitrator resolved that: (i) Dolphin and IFISA were entitled to buy the shares pursuant to the BMBY process, and consequently; (ii) the buyer might fulfilled all of the commitments included in the seller’s Arrangement, including the commitment to carry out Tender Offers; (iii) the buyer might pledged in favor of the Arrangement Trustees the shares that seller had pledged to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is an arbitration process going on between Dolphin and ETH in relation to certain issues connected to the acquisition of control of IDBD.

On October 11, 2015, the BMBY process concluded, and IFISA acquired all IDBD’s shares of stock held by ETH (92,665,925 shares) at a price equal to NIS 1.64 per share. Consequently, the Shareholders’ Agreement ceased and members of IDBD’s Board of Directors representing ETH submitted their irrevocable resignation to the Board. Subsequently, Dolphin appointed new members to the Board. Additionally, on the same date, Dolphin pledged the additional shares acquired.

Later on, following the exercise of the BMBY, Dolphin entered into an option agreement with IFISA that grants Dolphin the right, but not the obligation, to acquire the shares in IDBD which IFISA had acquired in the BMBY process, at a price of NIS 1.64 per share plus an annual interest rate of 8.5%. The option may be exercised within two years counted from the execution date. Additionally, Dolphin is entitled to a first refusal right in case that IFISA agrees to sell these shares to a third party. The option has no value as of June 30, 2017.

As a consequence, the Company gained control of IDBD and started to consolidate Financial Statements as from that date. The following chart shows the consideration, the fair value of the acquired assets, the assumed liabilities and the non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date.

	As of October 11, 2015
	(in million Ps.)
Fair value of the interest in IDBD’s equity held before the business combination and warrants	1,416
Total consideration	1,416

	As of October 11, 2015
Fair value of identifiable assets and assumed liabilities:	(in million Ps.)
Investment properties	29,586
Property, plant and equipment	15,104
Intangible assets	6,603
Joint ventures and investment in associates	9,268
Financial assets and other assets held for sale	5,129
Trading properties	2,656
Inventories	1,919
Income tax credit	91
Trade and other receivables	9,713
Investment in financial assets	5,824
Cash and cash equivalents	9,193
Deferred income tax	(4,681 )
Provisions	(969 )
Borrowings	(60,306 )
Derivative financial instruments, net	(54 )
Income tax	(267 )
Employee benefits	(405 )
Trade and other payables	(19,749 )
Total net identifiable assets	8,655
Non-controlling interest	(8,630 )
Goodwill	1,391
Total	1,416

The fair value of the investment properties was assessed by qualified independent appraisers. As of the acquisition date, the Company estimates that the recognized assets are recoverable. The value of the non-controlling interest in IDBD has been determined on a proportional basis to the fair value of net acquired assets the fair value of warrants.

Following the control of IDBD, the cumulative currency translation accumulated in equity from the interest held in IDBD before the business combination in the amount of Ps.143 million was recognized in the Income Statement. This result was disclosed under “Other operating results, net” line in the Income Statement.

The income IDBD has generated since October 11, 2015 and that have been disclosed in the Consolidated Income Statement amounts to Ps.28,229 million. IDBD has also incurred in a net loss of Ps.(1,643) million during said period. If IDBD had been consolidated since July 1, 2015, the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement would have shown pro-forma revenues of Ps.49,637 million and pro-forma net loss of Ps.1,651 million.

Acquisition of non-controlling interest

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

(i)

Replacement of the obligation to conduct tender offers, Dolphin acquired all the shares outstanding on March 29, 2016 from non-controlling shareholders of IDBD (except for those held by IFISA) on March 31, 2016. The price paid for each IDBD share held by non-controlling shareholders was NIS1.25 per share in cash plus NIS1.20 per share in bonds of the IDBD Series 9 (the “IDBD Bonds”), which IDBD will issue directly to non-controlling shareholders and holders of warrants. Additionally, Dolphin undertook to pay NIS1.05 per share (subject to adjustments) in cash should Dolphin, either directly or indirectly, gain control of Clal (more than 30% voting interest), or else if IDBD sells a controlling shareholding in Clal (more than 30% to a third party) under certain parameters (the “payment by Clal”), which refers mainly to Clal’s sale price (at a price which exceeds 75% of its book value upon execution of the sale agreement, subject to adjustments) and, under certain circumstances, the proportion of Clal shares sold by IDBD. The obligation to make such contingent payment will only expire if the sale of a controlling interest is completed (more than 30% to a third party), or if Dolphin obtains the control permission from Clal.

(ii)

The warrants held by non-controlling shareholders that had not been exercised until March 28, 2016 expired on March 31, 2016. Each warrant holder was entitled to elect whether: (a) to receive IDBD bonds (based on the adjusted nominal value) in an amount equal to the difference between NIS2.45 per share and the exercise price of the warrants and to receive a payment from Clal; or (b) to receive a payment determined by an independent appraiser.

(iii)

Dolphin granted IDBD a total of NIS515 million through several subordinated loans, for a total amount of NIS348.5 million, in addition to the issuance of IDBD Bonds in the amount of NIS166.8 million, which were used to comply with the liabilities mentioned in (ii). The subordinated loans have the following features: (a) they are subordinated, even in the case of insolvency, to all current or future debts of IDBD; (b) will be reimbursed after payment of all the debts to their creditors; (c) accrue interest at a rate of 0.5%, which will be added to the amount of the debt and will be payable only on the date the subordinated debt is amortized; (d) Dolphin will not have a right to participate or vote in the meetings with IDBD creditors with respect to the subordinated debt; (e) as from January 1, 2016, Dolphin has the right, at its own discretion, to convert the debt balance into IDBD shares, that time, whether wholly or partially, including the interest accrued over the debt until that date (subject to the limit set forth in (iv) below); (f) should Dolphinopt to exercise the conversion, the debt balance will be converted so that Dolphin will receive IDBD shares according to a share price that will be 10% less than the average price of the last 30 days prior to the date the conversion option is exercised. In the event there is no market price per share, this will be determined in accordance with an average of three valuations made by external or independent experts, who shall be determined it by mutual consent and, in the event of a lack of consent, they will be set by the President of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.

(iv)

Dolphin pledged IDBD’s shares representing 28% of IDBD's capital stock, as well as all rights in relation to the subordinated loan granted in the amount of NIS210 million in December 2015, until the payment obligation to Clal has been completed or has expired, after which the pledge will be discharged. Should new shares be issued by IDBD, Dolphin will have to pledge additional shares until completing the 28% of all IDBD share capital. This pledge replaces the pre-existing pledge.

(v)

Dolphin agreed not to exercise its right to convert the subordinated loans into shares of IDBD until the pledge described above has been released.

As of the consolidated balance sheet date, the only outstanding payment is that owed to Clal, provided the described conditions are met. Besides, Dolphin is bound to exercise the warrants in the event the following conditions occur jointly: (i) an agreement is reached to renegotiate the debt covenants of IDBD and its subsidiaries and (ii) Clal is taken over. Should both situations take place, the obligation would amount to NIS391 million. The warrants mature on February 10, 2018.

The transaction described above represented the acquisition of an additional interest of 19.28% in IDBD for a total amount of Ps.1,249 million. This resulted in an increase in non-controlling interest of Ps.346 million and an increase in equity attributable to owners of the parent of Ps.234 million. As of June 30, 2017, IRSA’s indirect interest in IDBD was 68.28% without considering dilution.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

General

We are a leading Latin American agricultural company engaged in the production of basic agricultural commodities with a growing presence in the agricultural sector of Brazil, through our investment in Brasilagro, as well as in other Latin American countries. We are currently involved in several farming activities including grains and sugarcane production, cattle raising and milk production. Our business model focuses on the acquisition, development and exploitation of agricultural properties having attractive prospects for agricultural production and/or value appreciation and the selective sale of such properties where appreciation has been realized. In addition, we lease land to third parties and perform agency and agro-industrial services, including a meat packing plant. Our shares are listed on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (“ByMA”) and the NASDAQ.

We are also directly and indirectly engaged in the real estate business through our subsidiary IRSA and its subsidiaries and joint ventures, one of Argentina’s leading real estate companies. IRSA is engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of shopping malls, premium offices, and luxury hotels in Argentina, as well as the sales and development properties. Also, IRSA has international investments, both in the United States in relation to the lease of office buildings and hotels in that country, and in Israel, through IDBD, 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. IRSA’s shares are listed on the ByMA and the NYSE. We own 63.76% of the outstanding common shares of IRSA and a majority of our directors are also directors of IRSA.

During fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we had consolidated revenues of Ps.77,918 million, Ps.34,232 and Ps.5,652 million, and consolidated profit from operation, before financing and taxation, of Ps.10,097 million, Ps.20,631 million and Ps.4,929 million, respectively. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, our total consolidated assets increased 20.9% from Ps.199,651 million to Ps.241,446 million, and our consolidated shareholders’ equity increased 32.2% from Ps.37,200 million to Ps.49,173 million.

Following the consolidation of IDBD with our subsidiary IRSA, we decided to report our operations based on our main business lines: “Agricultural Business” and “Urban Properties and Investments Business” derived from our subsidiary IRSA, which is in turn subdivided into two operations centers: “Argentina” (including the businesses in Argentina and the international investments in the Lipstick Building in New York and the Condor Hospitality Trust hotel REIT) and “Israel” (including IDBD).

In fiscal year 2017, the CODM reviews certain corporate expenses associated to all of the agribusiness segments on an aggregate and separate basis, and such expenses have been accounted for under Other Segments and Corporate Activities. As of June 2016 and 2015, the segment information has been modified for comparability purposes with the current fiscal year.

In previous and current year, the Company has 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. Five operating segments (crops, cattle, dairy, sugarcane and agricultural rental and services) 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).

Our Agricultural business is further comprised of three reportable segments:

●

The “Agricultural production” segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of crops as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers; breeding, purchasing and/or fattening of free-range cattle for sale to slaughterhouses and local livestock auction markets; breeding and/or purchasing dairy cows for the production of raw milk for sale to local milk and milk-related products producers; agricultural services; leasing of the Company's farms to third parties; and planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane. Our Agricultural production segment had assets of Ps.6,660 million and Ps.4,914 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing 95% and 96% of our agricultural business assets at such dates, respectively.

Strategy

We seek to maximize our return on assets and overall profitability by (i) identifying, acquiring and operating agricultural properties having attractive prospects for increased agricultural production and/or medium or long-term value appreciation and selectively disposing of properties as appreciation is realized, (ii) optimizing the yields and productivity of our agricultural properties through the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies and agricultural techniques and (iii) preserving the value of our significant long-term investment in the urban real estate sector through our subsidiary IRSA.

To such end, we seek to:

Focus on maximizing the value of our agricultural real estate assets

We conduct our agricultural activities with a focus on maximizing the value of our agricultural real estate assets. We rotate our portfolio of properties from time to time by purchasing properties which we believe have a high potential for appreciation and selling them selectively as opportunities arise to realize attractive capital gains. We achieve this by relying on the following principles:

●	Acquiring under-utilized properties and enhancing their land use: We seek to purchase under-utilized properties at attractive prices and develop them to achieve more productive uses. We seek to do so by (i) transforming non-productive land into cattle feeding land, (ii) transforming cattle feeding land into land suitable for more productive agricultural uses, (iii) enhancing the value of agricultural lands by changing their use to more profitable agricultural activities; and (iv) reaching the final stage of the real estate development cycle by transforming rural properties into urban areas as the boundaries of urban development continue to extend into rural areas. To do so, we generally focus on acquisitions of properties outside of highly developed agricultural regions and/or properties whose value we believe is likely to be enhanced by proximity to existing or expected infrastructure.
●	Applying modern technologies to enhance operating yields and property values . We believe that an opportunity exists to improve the productivity and long-term value of inexpensive and/or underdeveloped land by investing in modern technologies such as genetically modified and high yield seeds, direct sowing techniques, and machinery. We optimize crop yield through land rotation, irrigation and the use of fertilizers and agrochemicals. To enhance our cattle production, we use genetic technology and have a strict animal health plan controlled periodically through traceability systems. In addition, we have introduced state-of-the-art milking technologies in our dairy business.
●	Anticipating market trends. We seek to anticipate market trends in the agribusiness sector by (i) identifying opportunities generated by economic development at local, regional and worldwide levels, (ii) detecting medium- and long-term increases or decreases in supply and demand caused by changes in the world’s food consumption patterns and (iii) using land for the production of food and energy.

●

International expansion. We believe that an attractive opportunity exists to acquire and develop agricultural properties outside Argentina, and our objective is to replicate our business model in other countries. Although most of our properties are located in different areas of Argentina, we have begun a process of expansion into other Latin American countries, including Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.

Increase and optimize production yields

We seek to increase and improve our production yields through the following initiatives:

Implementation of technology .

●	To improve crop production, we use state-of-the-art technology. We invest in machinery and the implementation of agricultural techniques such as direct sowing. In addition, we use high-potential seeds (GMOs) and fertilizers and we apply advanced land rotation techniques. In addition, we consider installing irrigation equipment in some of our farms.
●	To increase cattle production we use advanced breeding techniques and technologies related to animal health. Moreover, we optimize the use of pastures and we make investments in infrastructure, including installation of watering troughs and electrical fencing. In addition, we have one of the few vertically integrated cattle processing operations in Argentina through Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas S.A.
●	In our milking facility, we have implemented an individual animal identification system, using plastic tags for our cattle and “RFID” tags. We use software from Westfalia Co. which enables us to store individual information about each of our dairy cows.

Increased production .

Our goal is to increase our crop, cattle and milk production in order to achieve economies of scale by:

●

Increasing our owned land in various regions by taking advantage of attractive land purchase opportunities. In addition, we expand our production areas by developing lands in regions where agricultural and livestock production is not developed to its full potential. We believe in the use of technological tools for improving the productivity of our land reserves and enhancing their long-term value. However, current or future environmental regulations could prevent us from fully developing our lands by demanding us to maintain part of them as natural woodlands not allocated to production.

●

Diversifying our production and the weather risk by leasing farms, thus expanding our product portfolio and optimizing our geographic focus, in particular in areas that are not appealing in terms of land value appreciation but with attractive productivity levels. We believe that this diversification mix mitigates our exposure to seasonality, commodity price fluctuations, weather conditions and other factors affecting the agricultural and livestock sector.

●

Moreover, we believe that continuing to expand our agricultural operations outside of Argentina will help us improve even more our ability to produce new agricultural products, further diversifying our mix of products, and mitigating our exposure to regional weather conditions and country-specific risks.

Focus on preserving long-term value of our investment in our real estate subsidiary IRSA

We seek to maintain the long-term value of our significant investment in the urban real estate sector through IRSA. We believe that IRSA is an ideal vehicle through which to participate in the urban real estate market due to its substantial and diversified portfolio of residential and commercial properties, the strength of its management and what we believe are its attractive prospects for future growth and profitability.

Operations Center in Argentina

●	Shopping Mall. Our main purpose is to maximize our shareholders’ profitability. By using our know-how in the shopping mall industry in Argentina as well as our leading position, we seek to generate a sustainable growth of cash flow and to increase the long-term value of our real estate assets. We attempt to take advantage of the unsatisfied supply in different urban areas of the region, as well as of our customers’ purchase experience. Therefore, we seek to develop new shopping malls in urban areas with attractive prospects for growth, including Buenos Aires’ Metropolitan area, some cities in the provinces of Argentina and possibly, other places abroad. To achieve this strategy, the close business relationship we have had for years with more than 1,000 retail companies and trademarks composing our selected group of tenants is of utmost importance, as it allows us to offer an adequate mix of tenants for each particular case.
●	Offices and Others. We seek to purchase and develop premium office buildings in strategically-located business districts in the City of Buenos Aires and other strategic locations that we believe offer return and potential for long-term capital gain. We expect to continue our focus on attracting premium corporate tenants to our office buildings. Furthermore, we intend to consider new opportunities on a selective basis to acquire or construct new rental office buildings.
●	Sales and Developments . We seek to purchase undeveloped properties in densely-populated areas and build apartment complexes offering green space for recreational activities. We also seek to develop residential communities by acquiring undeveloped properties with convenient access to the City of Buenos Aires, developing roads and other basic infrastructure such as electric power and water, and then selling lots for the construction of residential units. The scarcity of mortgage financing restricted the growth in low class home purchases and, as a result, we mainly focused on the development of residential communities for middle and high-income individuals, who do not need to finance their home purchases. We seek to continue to acquire undeveloped land at locations we consider attractive within and outside Buenos Aires. In each case, our intention is to purchase land with significant development or appreciation potential to resell. We believe that holding a portfolio of desirable undeveloped plots of land enhances our ability to make strategic long-term investments and affords us a valuable pipeline of new development projects for upcoming years.

●	Hotels. We believe our portfolio of three luxury hotels is positioned to take advantage of the future growth in tourism and business travel in Argentina. We seek to continue with our strategy to invest in high-quality properties that are operated by leading international hotel companies to capitalize on their operating experience and international reputation. We also seek to continue to invest in improvements for our hotels.
●	International . In this segment, we seek investments that represent an opportunity of capital appreciation potential in the long term. After the international financial crisis in 2008, we took advantage of the price opportunity in the real estate sector in the United States and invested in two office buildings in Manhattan, New York. In 2015, we sold 74.5% of the office building located at Madison Avenue, City of New York, for a total amount of US$185 million, and we have retained a 49.9% equity interest in a US company whose main asset is the so-called “Lipstick” office building located in the City of New York. In addition, jointly with subsidiaries, we hold 28.7% of the voting power of the REIT Condor Hospitality Trust and we hold, through Dolphin Fund, a 68.3% stake in the Israeli company IDBD, one of the largest and most diversified investment groups of Israel, which, through its subsidiaries, participates in numerous markets and industry sectors, including real estate, retail, agroindustry, insurance, telecommunications, etc. We intend to continue evaluating -on a selective basis- investment opportunities outside Argentina as long as they offer attractive investment and development opportunities.
●	Financial Operations and Other. Through our investment in Banco Hipotecario, the main mortgage-lending bank in Argentina, we believe that we are able to achieve good synergies in the long term with a developed mortgage market.

Agricultural Business

Land Transformation and Sales

Land Acquisitions

We intend to increase our farmland portfolio by acquiring large extensions of land with high appreciation potential. We also intend to transform the land acquired from non-productive to cattle breeding, from cattle breeding to farming, applying state-of-the-art technology to improve farming yields so as to generate higher land appreciation.

In our view, the sector’s potential lies in developing marginal areas and/or under-utilized areas. Thanks to the current technology, we may achieve similar yields with higher profitability than core areas, resulting in the appreciation of land values.

Over the past 15 years, prices of farmlands intended for agricultural production have increased in the southern hemisphere (mainly South America) but continue to be relatively low compared to the northern hemisphere (U.S. and Europe). Our financial strength relative to other Argentine producers gives us the chance to increase our land holdings at attractive prices, improve our production scale and create potential for capital appreciation.

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 drainagecharacteristics 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.

In addition, we may consider the acquisition of farmlands in marginal zones and their improvement by irrigation in non-productive areas as well as the installation of irrigation devices in order to obtain attractive production yields and create potential for capital appreciation.

The following chart shows certain information concerning our land acquisitions for each of the last 10 fiscal years ended on June 30:

In addition to the hectares owned by the company, 15,000 hectares intended for sugarcane production have been leased.

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.

The following chart shows certain information concerning our land sales for each of the last 10 fiscal years ended on June 30:

(11)

Includes the sale of three farmlands and three parcial sales of farmlands.

Concerning the sale of farmlands, while in 2016 we had not closed any transactions in light of the adverse effect on the farmland sale market caused by the controls on capitals that prevailed until December 2015 and the profitability equation of the industry, at the beginning of this year we saw a recovery in the farmland purchase and sale business motivated by the favorable policies implemented by the current administration, coupled with the partial amendment to the law on foreign ownership of land, which eased restrictions on foreign ownership percentages and simplified transaction registration proceedings.

104

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, we sold the “El Invierno” and “La Esperanza” farms, comprising 2,615 hectares used for agriculture and located in the district of “Rancul,” province of La Pampa, Argentina, for US$6 million (US$2,294 per hectare), resulting in an internal rate of return of 4.1% in U.S. dollars. In the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, we sold the entire “Cuatro Vientos” farm located in the Department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, comprising 2,658 hectares intended for sugarcane and agricultural production, for an amount of US$14.23 million (US$5,280 million per hectare). The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately US$4.5 million, at an internal rate of return of 11.0% in US dollars. Moreover, our subsidiary Brasilagro made partial sales of two of its farms. In May 2017, it sold 1,360 hectares (including 918 productive hectares) of its “Araucaria” farm located in the district of Mineiros, Brazil, for R$17 million (R$18,535 per hectare), and its sale resulted in an internal rate of return of 16.8% in Reais. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Brasilagro sold a fraction of 271 hectares of its Araucaria farm for R$12.9 million, as well as a fraction of 625 hectares (including 500 productive hectares) in the Jatobá farm, located in Jaborandi, State of Bahia, Brazil, for R$10.1 million (R$20,180 per hectare). These fractions of land were valued in the Company’s books at R$3.0 million and R$1.2 million, and resulted in internal rates of return of 20.4% and 16.7%, respectively, in Reais.

After year-end, in July 2017 we executed a preliminary sale agreement for the entire “La Esmeralda” farm, comprising 9,352 hectares intended for agriculture and cattle raising, located in the Department of Nueve de Julio, Province of Santa Fe, Argentina, for US$19 million (US$2,031 per hectare). The gain will be recorded in the next fiscal year, as the execution of the title deed and surrender of possession are expected to occur in June 2018.

Farmland Development

We consider that there is great potential in farmland development where, through the use of current technology, we may achieve similar yields with higher profitability than in core areas.

As of June 30, 2017, we owned land reserves in the region extending over more than 360,386 hectares of own farmlands that were purchased at very attractive prices. In addition, we have a concession 108,095 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 2017, we conducted our land development business in Argentina mainly in Los Pozos, where we developed 1,588 hectares in Don Isaac module for agricultural use. Moreover, we developed 484 hectares in Agro Riego San Luis and 100 hectares in the Sara module in Los Pozos, for cattle production.

Our developments in Brazil, through our subsidiary Brasilagro, consisted of 9,601 hectares of developed land intended for agriculture.

In connection with our business in Paraguay, we developed, through Cresca, 1,553 hectares for agricultural production.

Area under Development (hectares)	Developed 2015/2016	Developed 2016/2017 (1)
Argentina (1)	3,234	2,172

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 grains 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.

108

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. Grains 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 Agro-Uranga S.A. (“Agro-Uranga”). This company strives for the optimization of 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. 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 grains obtained or their equivalent value in local currency. 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.

During fiscal year 2017, we leased to third parties a total of 52 farmlands, covering 87,072 hectares, including 26,718 hectares in Brazil. Out of the total leased area, 71,481 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:

	2017	2016	2015	2014	2013
Crops	71,481	43,309	58,167	58,030	45,624
Cattle	12,635	12,635	13,501	18,549	12,635

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 June 2017, our cattle aggregated 79,361 heads, and we had a total surface area of 102,516 hectares of own and leased lands devoted to this business activity. In addition, we have leased to third parties 70 hectares assigned to these activities.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, our production was 8,061 tons, a 28.4% year-on-year increase.

The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years indicated below, the cattle production volumes measured in tons:

	2017	2016	2015	2014	2013
Cattle production (1)	8,061	8,205	8,336	7,459	8,193

(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.

110

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 are external to us and visit 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 head of cattle for each activity:

	2017	2016	2015	2014
Breeding stock	69,669	58,747	52,052	54,808
Winter grazing stock	9,692	11,126	12,102	10,932
Total Stock (heads)	79,361	69,873	64,154	65,740

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 applicable 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.

Dairy

As of June 30, 2017, we conducted our milk business in the dairy facility located in “El Tigre” farm in the Province of La Pampa, Argentina. We have a milking capacity of 1,472 cows per day and seek to increase total productivity through the application of new technologies including improved genetic management for milk production, strategic feeding plans, based on cattle specific requirements and the use of individual traceability to know the productivity history of each animal. We also use technology applied to the milk business to make more efficient the manual labor by surveying the information supplied by the farm.

Within the process of de-commoditization and technological innovation, we implemented an identification and tracking system in compliance with European and SENASA standards. We also obtained Global Gap and HCCP certification. Our goal in this respect is to distinguish our production and obtain higher prices in production sales.

Our milk production is based on a herd of Holando Argentina dairy cows, genetically selected through the use of imported frozen semen of North American Holando bulls. Male calves are sold, at calving, for a given amount per head, whereas female calves are weaned after 24 hours, spend approximately 60 days in raising and approximately 100 days being fed on thebasis of grass, grains and supplements. Young heifers then graze for an additional 12 to 15 month period, prior to artificial insemination at the age of 18 to 20 months and they calve nine months later. Heifers are subsequently milked for an average of 300 days. Milking dairy cows are once again inseminated during the 60 to 90 day subsequent period. This process is repeated once a year during six or seven years. The pregnancy rate for our dairy cows is 80-90%.

Our dairy herd is milked mechanically twice a day. The milk obtained is cooled to less than five degrees centigrade to preserve quality and is then stored in a tank for delivery once a day to trucks sent by buyers. Dairy cows are fed mainly with grass, supplemented as needed with grains, hay and silage. We have invested in certain technologies that focus on genetic improvement, animal health and feeding in order to improve our milk production. These investments include imports of top quality frozen semen from genetically improved North American Holstein bulls, agricultural machinery and devices such as feed-mixer trucks, use of dietary supplements and the installation of modern equipment to control milk cooling. We are currently acquiring dietary supplements for our dairy cows and have made investments with the aim of increasing the quantity and quality of forage (pasture, alfalfa and corn silage) in order to reduce feeding costs.

Taking into account this business’ margin and livestock prices, in this fiscal year we started a process to reduce our herd and reallocate part of it to another activity.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the average number of our dairy cows and average daily production per cow:

	2017	2016	2015	2014
Average dairy cows per day (heads)	1,472	1,951	2,189	2,439
Milk Production/Dairy Cow/Day (liters)	24.68	21.82	21.48	19.69

At the closing of fiscal year 2017, we had 3,580 heads of cattle on 1,036 hectares involved in the production of milk; whereas as of June 30, 2016, we had 5,047 heads of cattle on 2,231 hectares.

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 San Luis (Santa Bárbara and La Gramilla) to seed producers. 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, 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 activity we include the irrigation service we provide to our own farms leased to third parties.

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 9,600 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.

During fiscal year 2017, this activity recorded a net loss of Ps.111.0 million compared to a net loss of Ps.63.0 million in the previous fiscal year. Although the business was favored by the new government policies consisting in raising the exchange rate and lowering withholding taxes on beef exports, the positive impact of these measures was offset by a deterioration in the input/product ratios, explained by the fact that livestock prices and labor costs significantly outpaced the rise in beef prices for domestic consumption and in the international markets, as well as the prices of leather, this business’ main by-product.

(1) Owned by us through Agro-Uranga (which represents 35.723% of the total capacity).

(2) Includes Brasilagro.

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 grains 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, that 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.

119

Cattle

Our beef cattle production is sold in the local market. The main buyers are slaughterhouses and supermarkets.

Prices in the beef cattle market in Argentina are basically fixed by local supply and demand. The Liniers Market (on the outskirts of the City of Buenos Aires) provides a standard in price formation for the rest of the domestic market. In this market live animals aresold 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.

Dairy

During fiscal year 2017 we sold our entire milk production to the largest Argentine dairy company, Mastellone S.A., which in turn manufactures a range of mass consumption dairy products sold in Argentina and abroad. The price of the milk we sell is mainly based on the percentage of fat and protein that it contains and the temperature at which it is cooled. The price we obtain from our milk also rises or drops based on the content of bacteria and somatic cells.

Customers

For the fiscal year 2017 our sales from the agribusiness (excluding sales of farms) were made to approximately 500 customers. Sales to our ten largest customers represented approximately 45% to 50% of our net agribusiness sales. Of these customers, our most important customers were Cargill S.A.C.I., Granos Olavarria, Bunge Alimentos S. A. and Amaggi & LD Commodities S.A.. 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 grains with no third-party involvement and thus to capitalize the fluctuations in the price of commodities. Our largest storage facilities in Argentina, with capacity for 10,000 tons, are located in “Las Vertientes,” close to Río Cuarto, Province of Córdoba. In addition, we store grains in silo bags. In Brasil we have a 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: Exportaciones Agroindustriales, Arre Beef S.A., Frigorífico Bermejo, Saenz Valiente y Bullrich and Colombo y Magliano S.A., for prices based on the price at Liniers Market.

We usually are 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 grains 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.

120

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 corn and soybean in general take place from March to September. Sunflower is harvested from December to May. Wheat is harvested from October to January. Peanut is harvested from April to July. 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 March and October, while wheat and sunflower are harvested between August and September. In Brasil, our crops are harvested from March to May and our sugarcane is harvested from April to November. Other activities, such as our sales of cattle andmilk and our forestry activities tend to be more of a successive character than of a seasonal character. However, the production of beef and milk 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

Argentina

Farming and Animal Husbandry Agreements

Agreements relating to farming and animal husbandry activities are regulated by Argentine law, the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code and local customs.

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. Upon death of the tenant farmer, the agreement may continue with his successors. Upon misuse of the land by the tenant farmer or default on payment of the rent, the land owner may initiate an eviction proceeding.

Law No. 13,246, amended by Law No. 22,298, also regulates agreements for crop sharing pursuant to which one of the parties furnishes the other with farmland animals or land with the purpose to share benefits between tenant farmer and land owner. These agreements are required to have a minimum term of duration of 3 years. The tenant farmer must perform the obligations under the agreement himself and may not, assign it under any circumstances. Upon death, incapacity 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 Ministry of Economy and Public Finance that over sees the 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.

121

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 1,300 tons to export beef under the Cuota Hilton for the July 2016-June 2017 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.

As of June 30, 2017, we owned land reserves extending over 360,386 hectares, which are located in under-utilized areas where agricultural production is not yet fully developed. We also have 108,095 hectares under concession as reserves for future developments. We believe that technological tools are available to improve the productivity of such land and enhance its long-term value. However, existing or future environmental regulations may prevent us from developing our land reserves, requiring us to maintain a portion of such land as unproductive land reserves.

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.

122

On November 28, 2007, 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.

In addition, the CNV Rules 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 legal persons.

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.

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.

123

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.

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 lessthan 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.

124

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 Article 42 that consumers and users of goods and services have a right to protection of health, safety and economic interests in a consumer relationship. Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240, as amended, 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 the forfeiture of concession rights, privileges, tax regimes or special credits to which the sanctioned party was entitled, including closing down of 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. 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.

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.

126

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

On September 17, 2014, the Consumer Protection Law was modified by the enactment of Law Nº 26,993, which is called “System for Conflict Resolution in Consumer Relationships” as it provides for the creation of new administrative and judicial procedures for this field of Law. It has 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. 25,156, as amended, prevents trust practices and requires administrative authorization for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law constitute an economic concentration. According to this law, mergers, transfers of goodwill, acquisitions of property or rights over shares, capital or other convertible securities, or similar operations by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences a company, are considered as an economic concentration. Whenever an economic concentration involves a company or companies and the aggregate volume of business of the companies concerned exceeds in Argentina the amount of Ps.200.0 million, in such case the respective concentration should be submitted for approval to the CNDC. The request for approval may be filed, either prior to the transaction or within a week after its completion.

When a request for approval is filed, the CNDC may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) 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 absorbed, acquired, transferred or controlled in Argentina, do not exceed Ps.20.0 million each are exempted from the administrative authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the transactions effected by the companies concerned during the prior 12-month period exceed in the aggregate Ps.20.0 million or Ps.60.0 million in the last 36 months, these transactions must be notified to the CNDC.

As our consolidated annual sales volume and our parent’s consolidated annual sales volume exceed Ps.200.0 million, we should give notice to the CNDC of any concentration provided for by the Antitrust Law.

Taxes on the Transfer of Property and Sale of Meat and Grains

Value Added Tax. This tax is applicable to the sale of personal property, the hiring of works, the rendering of services and the import of goods and services operated in Argentina. The general tax rate is 21%.

The value added tax law imposes a reduced rate, equal to 10.5% on the sale price of live animals (including cattle, sheep, camels and goats) 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).

127

The sale of land and immovable property is not subject to this tax.

Gross Sales Tax . This is a local tax (collected by the provinces and the City of Buenos Aires) that levies gross revenues derived from the ordinary development of a given business for profit. 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 establishes the proportions allocable to each of the jurisdictions involved, so as to prevent double or multiple taxation. In the City of Buenos Aires, gross revenues derived from livestock raising and milk production are subject to this tax at a general rate of 1%. In certain provinces, the sale or 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.).

Both in the Province and the City of Buenos Aires (federal district) the stamp tax rate applicable to the transfer by public deed of real property is 3.6%. The purchase and sale of real estate through public deed, however, is not taxable –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.

Urban Properties and Investments Business (through our subsidiary IRSA)

We decided to break down the operations of our subsidiary IRSA into an Operation Center in Argentina and an Operation Center in Israel. From the Operation Center in Argentina, we, through IRSA and its subsidiaries, manage the businesses in Argentina and the international investments in the Lipstick Building in New York and the Condor Hospitality Trust hotel REIT. From the Operation Center in Israel, we manage IDBD.

As of June 30, 2017, our investment in IRSA’s common shares amounts to 63.76%.

The following information corresponds to data of the segments extracted from our subsidiary IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.’s Annual Report and Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017.

The revenue figures for fiscal year 2017 described in the different tables correspond to the twelve-month period reported in IRSA’s Financial Statements.

Shopping Malls

As of June 30, 2017, IRSA owns, through its subsidiary IRSA CP, a majority interest in a portfolio of 16 shopping malls in Argentina, 15 of which are operated by IRSA CP. Of IRSA’s 16 shopping malls, seven are located in the City of Buenos Aires, two in the greater Buenos Aires area, and the rest 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 Fé, through a joint venture, and Alto Comahue in the City of Neuquén).

The shopping malls IRSA operates comprise a total of 341,289 square meters (3,673,604 square feet) of gross leasable area. Total tenant sales in IRSA’s shopping malls, as reported by retailers, were Ps.34,426 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and Ps.28,854 million for fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of 19.3%. Tenant sales at IRSA’s shopping malls are relevant to the Company’s revenues and profitability because they are one of the factors that determine the amount of rent that IRSA charges to its tenants. They also affect the tenants’ overall occupancy costs as a percentage of the tenant’s sales.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, IRSA’s shopping malls welcomed 105.8 million visitors and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, total visitors was 112.3 million.

Principal Terms of our Leases

Under the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code lease terms may not exceed 20 or 50 years, except for leases regulated by Law No. 25,248 which states leases on real property are not subject to term restrictions. Generally, terms of IRSA’s lease agreements range from three to ten years.

Leasable space in IRSA’s shopping malls is marketed through an exclusive arrangement with our wholly owned subsidiary and real estate broker Fibesa S.A., or “Fibesa.” IRSA uses a standard lease agreement for most tenants at its shopping malls, the terms and conditions of which are described below. However, IRSA’s 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 10% 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 21% and 25% on an annual and cumulative basis from the thirteenth (13 th ) 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 may be able to enforce such clauses contained in our lease agreements.

In addition to rent, IRSA charges most of its 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 IRSA’s consent. IRSA leases its stores, kiosks and spaces in its shopping malls through its wholly-owned subsidiary Fibesa. IRSA charges its tenants a fee for the brokerage services, which usually amounts to approximately three months of the Base Rent plus the admission right.

IRSA is responsible for providing each shopping mall rental unit with electricity, a main telephone switchboard, central air conditioning and a connection to a general fire detection system. IRSA also provides the food court tenants with sanitation and with gas systems connections. 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. IRSA determines this percentage based on different factors. The common area expenses include, among others, administration, security, operations, maintenance, cleaning and taxes.

IRSA carries out promotional and marketing activities to draw consumer traffic to its shopping malls. These activities are paid for with the tenants’ contributions to the Common Promotional 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. IRSA 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. IRSA 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. IRSA 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 IRSA. IRSA has 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.

Control Systems

IRSA has computer systems equipped to monitor tenants’ sales (except stands) in all of its shopping malls. IRSA also conduct regular audits of its tenants’ accounting sales records in all of its shopping malls. Almost every store in IRSA’s shopping malls has a point of sale that is linked to a main server. IRSA 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 IRSA’s shopping mall lease agreements require the tenant to have its point of sale system linked to IRSA’s server.

135

Competition

Given that most of IRSA’s shopping malls are located in densely populated areas, there are competing shopping malls within, or in close proximity to, our target areas. The number of shopping malls in a particular area could have a material effect on IRSA’s ability to lease space in its shopping malls and on the rent that IRSA is able to charge. IRSA believes 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 IRSA in areas through the development of new shopping malls. IRSA’s principal competitor is Cencosud S.A. which owns and operates Unicenter Shopping and the Jumbo hypermarket chain, among others.

Seasonality

IRSA’s business is directly affected by seasonality, influencing the level of IRSA’s tenants’ sales. During Argentine summer holidays (January and February) IRSA’s 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 IRSA’s shopping malls’ sales. Discount sales at the end of each season are also one of the main seasonal factors affecting IRSA’s business.

Offices and Others

According to Colliers International, as of March 2017, the A+ and A office inventory increased since 2016, at 1,757,659 sqm. In terms of rental availability, there was a 0.3% increase in the vacancy rate to 4.5% during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period the previous year. These values indicate that the market is healthy in terms of its operations, allowing an optimum level of supply with balanced values. According to the market segments, class A properties show a vacancy rate of 8.6% for the entire stock, while A+ properties buildings show a vacancy rate of 4.5%.

Management of office buildings

IRSA generally acts as the manager of the office properties in which it owns an interest. IRSA typically owns the entire building or a substantial number of floors in the building. The buildings in which IRSA owns 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, IRSA handles 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 IRSA units that have not been leased, if any, for which IRSA bears the cost. IRSA markets its leasable area through commissioned brokers or directly by IRSA.

Leases

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

Sale and Development of Properties and Land Reserves

Residential Development Properties

The acquisition and development of residential apartment complexes and residential communities for sale is one of IRSA’s core activities. IRSA’s 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 IRSA’s development of residential communities, IRSA frequently acquires vacant land, develops infrastructure such as roads, utilities and common areas, and sells plots of land for construction of single-family homes. IRSA 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, 2017, revenues from the development and sale of properties segment amounted to Ps.99 million, compared to Ps.8 million posted in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

140

Construction and renovation works on IRSA’s residential development properties are currently performed, under IRSA’s supervision, by independent Argentine construction companies that are selected through a bidding process. IRSA enters into turnkey contracts with the selected companies 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. IRSA is generally not responsible for any additional costs based upon the turnkey contract. All other aspects of the construction, including architectural design, are performed by third parties.

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

Alto Palermo Expansion

The expansion project of the Alto Palermo shopping mall is currently expected to add approximately 4,000 square meters of gross leasable area to the shopping mall and consists of moving the food court to a third level by using the area of an adjacent building acquired in 2015. During the fiscal year 2017, the demolition stage of this expansion was finished.

First stage of Polo Dot

The project called “Polo Dot” located in the commercial complex adjacent to Dot Baires Shopping, has experienced significant growth since our first investment in the area. The total project is currently expected to consist of several office buildings (one of which may include a hotel) on land reserves owned by us and the expansion of the shopping mall by approximately 15,000 square meters of gross leasable area. At a first stage, we intend to develop an office building with a proposed area of approximately 32,000 square meters on an existing building, in respect of which we have already executed lease agreements for approximately 75% of the projected development. The construction stage of this expansion started in late 2016, and we expect that the building will become operational by late 2018. The second stage of the project is currently expected to include two office/hotel buildings that would add 38,400 square meters of gross leasable area to the complex. We have seen a significant demand for premium office spaces in this new commercial hotspot, and we believe that these buildings have attractive prospects.

145

Catalinas Building

The proposed building to be developed is currently expected to have approximately 35,000 square meters of gross leasable area consisting of 30 office floors and more than 300 parking spaces, and will be located in the “Catalinas” area in the City of Buenos Aires, one of the most sought after neighborhoods for premium office development in Argentina.

Construction work started in late 2016, and is currently expected to be completed in approximately 3 years. As of June 30, 2017, we had completed 3.0% of the construction work.

Future Developments

Mixed Use

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

This 116-hectare plot of land is located in the 62 Km of the West Highway, in the intersection with Route 5 and was originally purchased by Cresud on May 31, 2008 from Birafriends S.A. for US$3 million. In May 2012, the Company acquired the property through a purchase and sale agreement entered into between related parties, thus becoming the current owner. Our intention is to carry out a mixed-use project, taking advantage of the environment consolidation and the strategic location of the plot. At present, dealings are being carried out so as to change the zoning parameters, thus enabling the consummation of the project.

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

On March 31, 2011, Quality Invest and Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y F., or “Nobleza Piccardo,” executed the title deed for the purchase of a plot of land extending over 160,000 square meters located in the District of San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires, currently intended for industrial purposes and suitable in terms of characteristics and scale for mixed-use developments. The price for the property was US$33 million.

Simultaneously with execution of the title deed, the parties entered into a lease agreement whereby Nobleza leased the whole property for a term of up to 36 months from May 2011. This lease agreement contained a clause providing for partial return of the property from month eight to month 14 from the date of execution. Prior to expiration, an extension was executed for two to six months due to expire in December 2012, and Quality Invest obtained usufruct rights to more than half the plot of land. The return of the remaining area set forth in the agreement and due to occur in May 2014 was further extended until December 31, 2014. On March 2, 2015, a certificate was executed by Nobleza and Quality Invest for full return of the property, and the contract relationship between the parties came to an end.

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

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

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

146

Moreover, on June 27, 2016, the plot subdivision plan was filed with the Municipality, in compliance with another significant milestone agreed under the zoning agreement.

Currently we are working in a draft project for the development of a thematic Shopping Mall conceptualized as “Home Hipercenter” to be constructed in the existing main warehouse. The project will involve 50,000 sqm, divided into 30,000 sqm for the Shopping Mall and 20,000 sqm for parking.

Also, we are working jointly with an urban development firm in a comprehensive master plan to design the remaining areas of the facility. At present, the facility has a construction capacity of over 500,000 sqm that may be used for different commercial purposes as well as to build residential properties.

Concerning the legal framework for the development and operation of the Shopping Mall and the remaining segments, an addendum to the original Agreement was already executed is being negotiated with the Municipality of San Martín aimed at ensuringhaving ensured certain rights in favor of Quality Invest that will be essential for the consummation of the development..

Solares de Santa María – City of Buenos Aires

Solares de Santa María is a 70-hectare property facing the Río de la Plata in the south of Puerto Madero, 10 minutes from downtown Buenos Aires. We are owners of this property in which we intend to develop an entrepreneurship for mixed purposes, i.e. our development project involves residential complexes as well as offices, stores, hotels, sports and sailing clubs, services areas with schools, supermarkets and parking lots.

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

In March 2007, a committee of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, composed of representatives from the Legislative and Executive Branches issued a report stating that such Committee had no objections to our development plan and requested that the Town Treasurer’s Office render a decision concerning the scope of the development plan submitted for the project. In November 2007, 15 years after the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires granted the general zoning standards for the site, the Government Chief of the City of Buenos Aires executed Decree No. 1584/07, which passed the specific ruling, set forth certain rules for the urban development of the project, including types of permitted constructions and the obligation to assign certain spaces for public use and convenience.

Notwithstanding the approval of Decree No. 1584/07 in 2007, several municipal approvals are still pending and in December 2007, a municipal court rendered a decision restricting the implementation of our proposed development plan, due to objections made by a legislator of the City of Buenos Aires,alleging the suspension of Decree No. 1584/07, and each construction project and/or the municipal permits granted for business purposes. Notwithstanding the legality and validity of Decree No. 1584/07, we entered into an agreement 5/10 that was executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, which has been sent with a legislative bill to the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires under number 976-J-2010, for approval.

On October 30, 2012 a new agreement was executed with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, replacing all those already executed, whereby new obligations were agreed upon between the parties for the consummation of the project. To that end, such Agreement, as well as the previous ones, shall be countersigned and approved by the Legislative Branch of the City of Buenos Aires by enacting a bill that is attached to the project. The docket containing the Bill of Law was reserved and is pending such legislative treatment. The Agreement provided that if by February 28, 2014 the Bill of Law was not enacted, it would become invalidated -current status to date.

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, it was reserved as it had happened in 2012, and its legislative treatment is still pending. The new Bill of Law may remain in such status during legislative year 2017.

147

In order to ensure the enactment of the desired law, treatment of the previous bill must be resumed or a new Agreement including a Bill of Law must be executed with the executive branch of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, and subsequently ratified through the enactment of a Law by the Legislature of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires.

Puerto Retiro – City of Buenos Aires

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.

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 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.

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

The Company was involved in a judicial action brought by the National Government, to which this Board of Directors is totally alien. The Management and the legal counsel to 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.

In turn, Tandanor filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro and the other defendants in the criminal case for violation of Section 174 (5) based on Section 173 (7) of the Criminal Code. Such action seeks -on the basis of the nullity of the decree that approved the bidding process involving the Dársena Norte property- 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. 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 such report, the Federal Court ( Tribunal Oral Federal ) No. 5 started interlocutory proceedings, and on June 8, 2017, it ordered and carried out the closing of the property that was subject to the above mentioned lease agreements with Los Cipreses S.A. and Flight Express S.A. with the aim of enforcing the referred order. As a result, the proceedings were forwarded to the Criminal Court for it to appoint the court that will investigate the alleged commission of the crime of contempt.

Our legal counsel considers that there is a chance of success of the defense of Puerto Retiro, always taking into account that this is a complex issue subject to more than one interpretation by legal scholars and case law.

Coto Residential Project (IRSA CP)

The Company owns approximately 23,000 sqm in air space over the top of the Coto hypermarket that is close to the Abasto Shopping Mall in the heart of the City of Buenos Aires.

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

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

We intend to carry out an urban project consisting in the development and commercialization of 13 apartment buildings. 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 US$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 US$7 million; of which US$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 US$0.83 million. Then, in February 2010, plots of land were acquired for US$1 million, the balance of which as of to date amounts to US$0.28 million plus interest and will be repaid in December 2014. In December 2010, Vista al Muelle S.A. executed the title deed of other plots for a total amount of US$2.66 million, of which US$0.3 million were paid. The balance will be repaid by delivering 2,334 sqm of units and/or retail stores to be constructed or in cash.

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

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

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

Real Estate

PBC has extensive activities in the revenue-generating properties segment in Israel and in the United States, within the framework of two operating segments which are reported as separate operating segments of PBC- the yield bearer property segment in Israel and abroad, and the Residential construction segment in the in Israel and abroad. Moreover, PBC deals with the in agriculture, which is not material to IDBD. As of the reporting date, PBC owns areas intended for rent, in Israel, at a scope of approximately 1,160,000 square meters (as compared with approximately 1,110,000 square meters as of December 31, 2015), revenue-generating properties in the United States - the HSBC Tower in New York with an area of approximately 80,000 square meters, and the Tivoli project in Las Vegas, with an area of approximately 31,000 square meters (the share of PBC), as well as land reserves with associated building rights at a scope of approximately 655,000 square meters, which are intended for the construction of revenue-generating properties in Israel, most of which include approved rights in accordance with the relevant zoning plan. The construction on these lands will be performed in accordance with demand.

The revenue-generating areas of PBC in Israel and in the United States are used for various uses, of which the primary ones are as follows:

●

Areas rented for the use of offices and high tech industries (“Office and Hi-Tech Uses”).

The areas of PBC which are leased for Office and Hi-Tech Uses in Israel are divided into two main types:

Business parks and office buildings for hi-tech industries. PBC has expertise in the provision of solutions for the special requirements of this industry, and builds designated buildings which are adjusted to the needs of the lessees, and also provides management services for those buildings.

Office buildings. The office buildings of PBC are located in high demand areas, and most are leased, at high occupancy rates, to lessees which are mostly large, stable companies, some international, generally for long lease periods. Areas for office use are characterized by areas used as parking lots, which constitute an inseparable part of the buildings. In the foreign activities of PBC, the main property for office use is the HSBC Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York.

154

●

Areas rented for industry, workshop, logistics and storage uses (“Industry and Logistics Uses”).

Areas for Industry and Logistics Uses in Israel are characterized by areas with a large single space, service yards and large operational areas. In light of the rent which can be collected for areas of this kind, which is relatively low, and the fact that their construction generally requires construction on large areas of land, PBC concentrates, as do other companies operating in the segment, most of its industrial areas in periphery areas and in areas located close to airports and seaports. The turnover rate of lessees in areas for industrial use is low, and a significant part of the industrial areas of PBC are leased to lessees who have been using the same areas for many years.

●

Shopping malls, commercial centers and recreational areas (“Uses for Commercial and Recreational Centers”).

PBC’s areas which are leased to commercial and recreational centers in Israel include commercial centers, “Power Center” areas, which are located in central areas or areas near major junctions at highways from major cities, conference centers and recreational centers. The areas of PBC which are rented for commercial purposes abroad primarily include its share in the Tivoli project in Las Vegas.

Associated services in the revenue-generating properties segment in Israel.

PBC also provides management and maintenance services, primarily to lessees in areas which are used for office and commercial purposes.

Geographical distribution

PBC divides its properties into two main regions - Israel and the United States, and five sub-regions: in Israel - North, Center and South; in the United States - Northeast and West.

According to the assessment of PBC, the difference between the regions in Israel is primarily due the fact that, in Central Israel, rent is significantly higher than the average rent in Northern and Southern Israel. The common uses in Central and Northern Israel are offices, hi-tech and commerce, while in Southern Israel most properties are used for logistics and industry, as well as commerce.

In the United States, the properties of PBC are located in various states, with different economic characteristics. According to the assessment of PBC, the difference between the regions in the United States is primarily due to the fact that the average rent in the Northeast United States is significantly higher than the average rent in Western United States, primarily due to the different locations and uses (luxury office and commercial buildings in the Northeastern United States, as compared with commercial centers in occupancy and positioning processes in Western United States), as well as the location of the properties (the centers of large cities such as New York in the Northeastern United States, as compared with their locations in residential neighborhoods in the Western United States).

However, even within each region (both in Israel and in the United States), there are differences between the various sites, as well as difference, in some cases, between the various properties in each site, due to the type of property, the different designation of each property, the age of the property, its physical condition, etc.

Mix of lessees

The revenue-generating properties segment is characterized by a wide variety of customers, including large and small companies and business customers, as well as private customers.

PBC engages with its customers mostly through medium and longer term rental contracts, and in general, rental contracts in Israel involve unprotected leases, and rent linked to the consumer price index. The policy of PBC is to engage, as much as possible, in long term contracts with high-quality lessees.

155

The agreements with respect to areas which are built according to the designated construction method in Israel are characterized by buildings which are adapted to the specific requirements of the designated customer. In light of the relatively significant initial investment in the property, and the adjustment thereof to the lessee’s specific needs, rental agreements for buildings of this kind are signed for long periods, and generally include options for the lessee to extend the lease period. Additionally, some of the Group’s lessees perform, at their own expense, works in the areas of the leased properties, and adapt them to their needs. According to the assessment of PBC, these investments may lessen the profitability of lessees in transferring to other areas.

PBC has no major lessee whose rent paid in 2016 constituted 10% or more of the total income in the consolidated financial statements of PBC.

156

TPD Investment Limited (in England) - PBC and DIC, through England Hotels - Property & Building Ltd. (a company wholly owned by PBC) (“Property & Building Hotels”) owns rights (20%) to TPD Investment Limited (“TPD” or the “English Company”), which primarily holds two hotels: the Hilton in London, and the Hilton in Birmingham, as well as the rights associated therewith (including approximately 1,900 hotel rooms (cumulatively) and conference halls). The aforementioned hotels are primarily geared to businesses and the conferences and conventions market, and are managed by the Hilton chain, in accordance with long term management agreements (until 2036), with options to extend the management periods. The overall acquisition cost of the Hilton London and Hilton Birmingham by TPD amounted to approximately GBP 455 million, including expenses. The acquisition cost was financed through a bank loan, which was provided by a British bank, repayable in July 2014, with no right of recourse, in the total amount of approximately GBP 395 million. The balance of the acquisition amount, as stated above, in the amount of approximately GBP 60 million, was financed from equity, where the share of PBC in equity amounted to a total of approximately GBP 16.6 million, which was given as a shareholder’s loan, and which bears annual interest of 6%. In March 2014, the English partner (the “English Partner”) in the English Company announced that refinancing had been performed, in which the English Partner announced, inter alia, to PBC, that it has the option to maintain its holdings (20%) through the provision of a shareholder’s loan in the amount of GBP 5 million, and conversion of the previous shareholder’s loan in the amount of GBP 5.6 million to capital, or alternatively, to have its holding rate diluted to 6.39%, and also stated, in its announcement, that the dilution had been effectively implemented. After the failure of the negotiations which were conducted between PBC and the additional partner with the English Partner, PBC filed, together with the additional partner, in April 2014, a claim with the Court in London, demanding that the English Partner acquire their holdings in TPD, in accordance with their market value, as will be determined by the Court, as well as additional conventional remedies in accordance with English law (the “Claim”). On March 3, 2015, the English Partner and TPD filed a motion for the receipt of an injunction against PBC and the additional partner, according to which PBC and the additional partner would refrain from performing any action in connection with the sale of the hotels, and for the receipt of damages in the amount of over GBP 100 thousand (the “Counterclaim”). PBC and the additional partner reject the assertions raised in the aforementioned motion, in all respects. In August 2015, PBC, the additional partner and their corporate officers received a statement of claim from the English Partner and from TPD, in which damages were claimed which were allegedly incurred by TPD and the English Partner, in an amount which will not fall below GBP 88.5 million (the “Statement Of Claim”). PBC rejected the statement of claim in all respects. The hearing of the Claim commenced in the Court in London at the end of June 2016, continued in January 2017, and concluded in February 2017. A ruling has not yet been given.

The products which are sold by PBC in the residential construction segment are residential units offered for sale. The residential units are built in the framework of complete residential neighborhoods, including full environmental development and associated community services. The activities of PBC in the residential construction segment also include the identification and development of new lands which are appropriate for residential construction, in urban renewal projects (demolition-construction). As of the reporting date, the balance of approved construction rights for the projects in which PBC is a partner amounted to approximately 1,790 residential units intended for construction (of which the share of PBC is approximately 1,076 residential units), where approximately 1,230 residential units are currently in construction stages (of which, the share of PBC is approximately 820 residential units). In 2016, the construction of approximately 230 residential units was commenced, as compared with approximately 590 residential units in 2015. In 2016, 480 residential units were sold (as compared with approximately 355 residential units in 2015). PBC’s revenues from the sale of residential units and land which were applied to the statement of income in 2016 amounted to approximately NIS 337 million, as compared with approximately NIS 216 million in 2015. The scope of income from residential units in the Financial Statements is affected by the timing of the recognition of profit, in accordance with international accounting standards, according to which income is only recognized when the apartments are transferred to the apartment buyers. In 2016, 230 of PBC’s residential units were occupied, as compared with approximately 130 in 2015. Additionally, in 2016, approximately 70 residential units were occupied in a project which is being built by an associate company of PBC (50%), whose results are reported as part of PBC’s share in the profits (losses) of subsidiaries, as compared with approximately 140 residential units in 2015. PBC builds and markets, in the residential construction segment in Israel, as of the reporting date, approximately 900 residential units in 8 different complexes throughout the country.

Supermarkets

Shufersal is a public company which was incorporated in Israel, whose shares and debentures are listed for trading on the TASE. It is primarily engaged in the ownership and management of a supermarket chain - the largest and leading chain in Israel, in terms of sales volume. Shufersal is also active in the real estate segment and in the customer club credit card segment.

Shufersal operates in three operating segments: the retail segment, the real estate segment, and the credit card customer club management segment, as described below:

Retail segment. Retail marketing in the food and other products segment is the primary operating segment of Shufersal, which is the owner of the largest supermarket chain in Israel. As of December 31, 2016, Shufersal operated 272 branches (as compared with 277 branches at the end of 2015), within the framework of two groups of branches: the “discount branches group” and the “neighborhood branches group,” distributed throughout the entire country, including four main retail formats, as well as Shufersal Online, and activities in the health products segment (under the brands “Organic Market” and “Green”). In 2016, in addition to Shufersal, marketing chains operated in the retail food market in Israel which operate throughout the entire country, primarily in the discount market, such as Rami Levy Hashikma Marketing, Yeinot Bitan, Victory Supermarket Chain, Yohananof, Machsanei HaShuk, Hatzi Hinam, Osher Ad, and others (the “Additional Marketing Chains,” and jointly with Shufersal: the “Marketing Chains”); as well as urban convenience stores and gas stations which generally operate with continuous opening hours, throughout the entire week; neighborhood grocery stores; open and closed markets; and specialty stores. As of December 31, 2016 (with no significant change until proximate to the publication of the report), Shufersal operated two groups of branches throughout the entire country - the “discount branches group” and the “neighborhood branches group.” The aforementioned two groups include four main retail formats throughout the country, which are intended primarily for marketing purposes, and the positioning of the specific branch for the relevant target market, as follows: (A) The discount branches group: 113 branches according to the discount branches format, featuring low prices throughout the entire year (“Shufersal Deal”); 24 branches in the discount branches format, which are intended for the general population, and adapted to the needs of various population groups, by adjusting the variety of products to the customer group, strict adherence to Jewish dietary (“kashrut”) laws, and a simple shopping experience (under the name “Yesh” (which includes two sub-formats: “Yesh Neighborhood” and “Yesh Chesed”)); Shufersal’s discount activity also includes the marketing of products throughout the entire country through various media (Shufersal Online). In 2016, the trend of increased Shufersal sales through Shufersal Online continued. During 2016, Shufersal sales through Shufersal Online constituted approximately 9% of Shufersal’s sales volume (as compared with approximately 6% in 2015). Sales through Shufersal Online contribute to an increase in sales, while retaining the high service level given to Shufersal customers, including improvement of the Shufersal Online channel for the benefit of Shufersal customers by expanding the variety of products and content worlds. This service provides a solution for the developing needs and changes in the consumption habits of Shufersal customers, and for the technological development which affect lifestyle, and therefore withdrawal continues to place an emphasis on the development and quality of theservice which is given to Shufersal customers who use this channel. Shufersal Online is accessible to Shufersal customers via telephone, fax and an application for the performance of acquisitions using smartphones. Shufersal acts on a continuous basis to improve service and to maintain itself at the forefront of the relevant technology.

159

Real estate segment. The real estate activities of Shufersal were separated, beginning on April 1, 2013, into Shufersal Real Estate Ltd.

The aforementioned properties do not include Shufersal’s logistical center in Rishon Letzion (including the attached branch), and Shufersal’s new logistical center in Shoham. The real estate activity includes: (A) The development and betterment of the real estate as an additional, independent business segment generating returns for Shufersal (such as the rental of commercial areas to third parties), and unlocking value for Shufersal and its shareholders; and (B) Integrating Shufersal’s primary activity in the retail segment, including: betterment and development of existing properties, acquisition of lands for the purpose of building and operating regional and local operating branches, and betterment and construction of surrounding commercial areas to increase the scope of activity in the complex. (B) The neighborhood branches group: 82 branches in the neighborhood branch format (“My Shufersal”), with an emphasis on providing solutions in terms of convenience, availability, freshness, and personalized service, as well as 48 branches in the very small branches format in neighborhoods and city centers, operated primarily by franchisees (“Shufersal Express”); The activity in the neighborhood branches group also includes the “Organic Market” activity. Shufersal operates in its branches, as of December 31, 2016, 62 health areas throughout the country, under the brand “Green,” and also operates 5 independent stores under the brand “Organic Market.”

Presented below are details regarding the real estate properties which are owned by Shufersal Real Estate as of December 31, 2016:

Telecommunications

Cellcom is a public company which was incorporated in Israel, whose shares are listed for trading on the TASE and on the New York Stock Exchange, and whose debentures are listed for trading on the TASE.

Cellcom operates and sells to its customers various communication services. Cellcom’s activity is divided into two segments - the mobile segment and the landline segment.

Cellcom’s activity in the mobile segment includes the provision of mobile communication services in Israel, in accordance with licenses which are extended from time to time, the sale of mobile equipment to end users, and supplementary services. Cellcom holds a general license from the Ministry of Communication which is valid until the end of January 2022 (the “Mobile License”). As of the reporting date, Cellcom provided mobile services to approximately 2.779 million subscribers, over several networks, most of which feature a national distribution, which include calls, sending and receipt of messages, and internet browsing. Cellcom also provides its customers with accompanying services, such as content and data services, and also offers end user equipment, and repair services for end user equipment.

160

Cellcom’s activity in the landline segment includes internet infrastructure services (based on the wholesale landline market), beginning in May 2015, internet connectivity services (“internet provider services),” television over internet services, beginning in December 2014 (“Cellcom TV”), including television channel broadcasts, including channels which are provided by Idan+ broadcasts, video on demand (VOD) broadcasts, and additional advanced features, landline telephone services (“Landline Services”) to the business and private sectors, data communication services to business customers and communication operators, international telephone services (“International Telephone Services”) and additional services such as conference call services, cloud computing services and information security. Cellcom has licenses for the provision of the services (except with respect to the television over internet services, which do not require a license).

In June 2016, DIC acquired Cellcom shares at a total scope of approximately NIS 13 million.

In January 2017, Cellcom terminated the agreement for the acquisition of the share capital of Golan Telecom Ltd. (“Golan” and the “Golan Acquisition Agreement,” respectively).

In January 2017, after the end of the reporting period, Cellcom annulled the 2015 agreement for the purchase of Golan Telecom Ltd. (“Golan”), after the regulators’ refusal to approve it and continuous litigation with Golan due to Golan’s repeated breaches of its agreements with Cellcom. Following a mediation process held with Golan: Golan entered a share purchase agreement with Electra Consumer Products Ltd. ("Electra"),in which came into force as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2017. Following the execution of the aforementioned share purchase agreement with Electra the 3G and 4G network sharing and 2G hosting sharing agreement between Cellcom and Golan came into force; the aforementioned Company's 2015 purchase agreement of Golan was annulled; legal actions filed by the Company and Golan against each other were dismissed.

Cellcom markets its products through dozens of service and sale centers and dozens of licensed marketers throughout the country, a telephone sales channel and an internet sales channel. Business customers receive routine services through designated portfolio managers. Cellcom provides services to its customers through telephone hotlines, service centers, and several self-service channels (including its website).

Mobile segment

Cellcom operates in a highly competitive environment, which intensified after the entry into the market of additional mobile communication providers and regulatory changes which reduced barriers to entry and barriers to transition. As of the reporting date, it competes against eight other mobile communication operators: four mobile communication operators which are license holders for the construction of mobile networks (MNO): Partner, Pelephone Communications Ltd. (“Pelephone”), Hot Mobile and Golan (additionally, Xfone frequencies in a frequencies tender for the 4G network, and has not yet entered the market), along with four virtual operators - Rami Levy Hashikma Marketing Communications Ltd. (“Rami Levy”), Home Mobile Ltd. (whose operations were purchased by Cellcom, subject to the required approvals), Azi Communications Ltd. and Select Communications Ltd.

According to Cellcom’s estimate, the subscriber market shares of the various mobile operators (based on “active subscribers”) as of December 31, 2016 are as follows: Cellcom - approximately 27.5%,; Partner approximately 26%,; Pelephone - approximately 23%; Hot Mobile - approximately 13.8%; Golan - approximately 7.8%; the other virtual operators together - approximately 1.9%. Cellcom’s assessment regarding the market share is based on the reports which were published to the public by other operators, and on Cellcom’s assessments with respect to operators which do not issue public reports. However, there is no standard method for counting subscribers.

The average annual churn rate of mobile subscribers in the Israeli market in 2015 and in 2016 is estimated at approximately 38% and 36%, respectively, which is high relative to the churn rate in other developed countries. The churn rate from Cellcom in 2015 and 2016 was 42% and 42.4%, respectively.

End user equipment - Creating a connection between transactions for the provision of mobile services and transactions for the acquisition of end user equipment (including by way of the provision of airtime refunds for the acquisition of end user equipment) is prohibited. This prohibition has resulted in increased competition on the market. The increasing competition in the mobile device sales segment has resulted in a decrease in the scope of mobile devices sold by Cellcom.

Landline segment

The Hot and Bezeq groups are the only ones that own full landline infrastructures in Israel. In June 2016, Partner announced that it intends to create a national landline infrastructure. Cellcom is evaluating the possibility of investment in IBC group (a company owned by the Electric Corporation and an international group led by Via Europa) (“IBC”), or the creation of the broad landline infrastructure which it owns.

Internet services - access and infrastructure - The two main internet infrastructure providers for the private sector and the only groups that own infrastructure which offer internet infrastructure services both for to the internet access providers and to end user customers are Bezeq and Hot. Bezeq also provides internet infrastructure services to operators which do not own infrastructure, within the framework of the wholesale landline market. In 2014, IBC also began distributing its infrastructure and providing broadband services in select areas. IBC’s license allows it to provide broadband infrastructure services on the fiber optic infrastructure of the Electric Corporation to other license holders, and to large business customers. In 2016, IBC’s shareholders announced their intention to raise capital by introducing additional investors. As of the reporting date, Cellcom is evaluating the possibility of investing in IBC.

161

Internet provider services are provided, as of the reporting date, by the three major internet providers: Cellcom, Bezeq International, Smile Telecom (a subsidiary of Partner) and additional small providers, including Xfone Communication Ltd. As of December 31, 2016, Cellcom provides internet provider services to approximately 638,000 households, and Cellcom estimates its market share as 25% of the market share, as compared with 40% of the market share for Bezeq International, and 23% of the market share for Smile Telecom. The internet provider market is highly competitive, saturated and characterized by relatively low barriers to entry. The competition primarily focuses on the ability to offer high internet connectivity speeds relative to price. Insofar as IBC’s infrastructure is available to possibility, this will boost Cellcom’s opportunity to compete in the infrastructure and internet provider market, since this would decrease Cellcom’s dependence on Bezeq and Hot as infrastructure providers.

Multi-channel television services - The market for multi-channel television for payment is controlled by Hot and Yes (which provide this service, as of September 30, 2016, to approximately 816,000 and 618,000 households, respectively). Cellcom began operating in this segment at the end of December 2014, through a hybrid television service which includes DTT broadcasts (television channels provided by the digital cable television broadcast network which operates in Israel and is distributed for free by the Second Authority for Television and Radio (Idan+) (“DTT Broadcasts”) and OTT TV services (television over internet), and as of December 31, 2016, it provides this service to approximately 111,000 households. Other market players can also use the DTT broadcasts in combination with their own OTT services, similarly to Cellcom’s method of operation in the segment. According to Partner’s announcement, it will enter the television market in the first half of 2017. In 2016, Netflix and Amazon Prime, began operating in Israel, which provide internet-based VOD services, and Cellcom estimates that these services are expected to constitute a supplementary service to the television services which are offered by the existing competitors. in March and September 2014, the Antitrust Commissioner published the following requirements as a condition for the merger in the Bezeq group, in order to facilitate opening up the multi-channel television market to competition by reducing barriers to entry in the television segment: (1) in general, Bezeq will not charge a fee to internet providers with respect to the consumption of internet provider services which are due to multi-channel television broadcasts, and all of the existing exclusivity arrangements to which Bezeq and Yes are party will be canceled, with respect to non-original production television content, and the engagement of exclusivity arrangements of this kind will be prohibited in the future; and (2) The Bezeq / Yes group will allow new television service providers to acquire certain original productions of Bezeq for two years. The legal merger between Bezeq and Yes was completed in 2015.

International call services - Cellcom is a large provider of international call services. Cellcom’s main competitors are Bezeq (through its subsidiary - Bezeq International) and Partner (through its subsidiary - Smile Telecom), and additionally, there are other competitors, such as Xfone Communication Ltd., Rami Levy, Golan and Hot, through their wholly owned subsidiaries or related companies. As of September 30, 2016, Cellcom’s market share is estimated at approximately 20%, Bezeq International at approximately 35%, Smile Telecom at approximately 24%, and Hot-Net at approximately 12%. The international call service market is highly competitive, with the competition primarily based on the operator’s ability to offer attractive pricing. Regulatory changes in this market have resulted in increased competition. In recent years, the use of alternative communication technologies, such as voice over IP, have resulted in reduction of the telephone market, and particularly, international telephone services. This trend is expected to continue in the future at a moderate rate. This trend, together with the inclusion of international telephone services in mobile service and landline service communication packages at no additional charge, have resulted in a decrease in income from these services. The adoption of the proposed changes in regulation of the international telephone services market, which includes the possibility for offering international telephone services by landline operators and the mobile operator themselves, and not through separate companies, may increase competition and adversely affect Cellcom’s results of operations.

Local landline services - The landline telephone market has been controlled for many years by Bezeq, a monopoly in the landline telephone market, which held approximately 2/3 of the landline telephone market share (and a larger market share among business customers), according to the publications of the Ministry of Communication, and Hot. Additional providers in the landline telephone services market include Cellcom, Netvision (wholly owned by Cellcom), Partner-012 Smile and Bezeq International. Cellcom’s penetration into the landline telephone market is an important component in Cellcom’s ability to offer a comprehensive package of services to its subscribers. As of the reporting date, Cellcom offers landline telephone services to business customers, and through VOB technology, to its private customers. Cellcom estimates that its market share in the landline telephone services market is immaterial. Insofar as the wholesale landline market will include landline telephone, Cellcom will be able to offer home landline telephone services to its private customers through the wholesale market. According to Cellcom's second quarter 2017 results, in June 2017, the Ministry of Communications published regulations setting Bezeq's resale telephony service to be provided by Bezeq as of July 2017, as a temporary 14 month alternative for wholesale landline telephony service. In addition, the Ministry of Communications resolved that Bezeq's obligation to offer wholesale telephony service, which was to be offered by Bezeq as of May 2015, will be postponed until the lapse of said resale telephony service period. The resolution further notes that the Ministry of communications will consider the resale telephony service as a permanent replacement of the telephony wholesale service. The tariffs set for the resale telephony service are substantially higher than those set for Bezeq's telephony wholesale service. The Ministry of Communications is holding a public hearing in relation to the aforementioned tariffs, to be applied retroactively after its conclusion.

Other landline services - transmission services and data communication services are provided by Bezeq, Hot, Partner and Cellcom, and are intended for business customers and communication operators. In 2016, the competition in this segment increased, primarily due to the plans offered by Hot and Partner.

Most of Cellcom’s fixed assets include the mobile network equipment, which includes base sites which are distributed throughout the country, which provide broad communication coverage for the vast majority of populated areas in the country, as well as a transmission network (which includes optic fibers in a total length of approximately 1,800 km., and microwave infrastructure),which provides connectivity for Cellcom between most of its base sites, and through which Cellcom also provides, to select business customers, transmission services, data transfer and advanced landline communication services. In 2017, Cellcom intends to continue the distribution of its LTE network, and to continue optimizing its networks in order to provide to its customers maximum support for video and other content requiring broadband.

Cellcom has a backup network for disaster recovery with respect to its engineering systems, which was intended to increase network resiliency in case of damage to one of its components, and has adopted a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan in accordance with the requirements of its license.

As of June 30, 2017, Cellcom’s fixed assets and intangible assets amounted to approximately NIS 2,916 million. In 2016, Cellcom’s investments consisted in fixed assets and intangible assets, including communication networks, network equipment and transmission infrastructure.

Cellcom rents 78 service centers and points of sale. Additionally, Cellcom rents from various entities sites for the purpose of the construction, maintenance and operation of communication facilities which are used in Cellcom’s communication network. Based on past experience, Cellcom encounters difficulties in extending the leases of approximately 5% of the sites used for communication facilities.

In June 2013, Cellcom renewed the permission agreement with the Israel Land Administration, which manages the lands of the Development Authority and the Jewish National Fund, for the use of land for the construction and operation of small broadcast facilities.

The permission agreement determined that, subject to the receipt of advance approval from the land managers, which will be given at the request of Cellcom with respect to each site, Cellcom is entitled to build and operate transmission facilities on land, during the permission period, and specific permissions and contracts which will be signed following the permission agreement are cancelable by the land managers, by providing advance notice, in case of certain events. Additionally, the permission agreement includes a prohibition on the transfer of control of Cellcom without providing a definition of the term control for this purpose.

Cellcom has two main rental properties in Israel: (1) A long term agreement for its technological center in Netanya, with an area of approximately 11,000 square meters. The rental is for a period of ten years, from August 2011, and Cellcom has the option to extend the agreement for an additional period of 5 years, while in the event that Cellcom does not exercise the option, it will be required to pay compensation of approximately NIS 11 million. In January 2015, Cellcom rented approximately 1,100 square meters through a sublease for a period of five years, and in 2016, Cellcom rented, through a sublease, an additional area of approximately 5,000 square meters, for a period of 6 years. The sublessees have the option to extend the sublease for an additional period, under certain conditions; and (2) A long term agreement for Cellcom headquarters in Netanya, with an area of approximately 58,000 square meters (of which, approximately 26,000 square meters are used for underground parking) until December 2022, which can be extended by two additional periods of 5 years each. beginning in 2015, Cellcom has leased, through subleases, approximately one quarter of the leased area for periods of up to five years. The lessees have the option to extend the sublease for additional periods. Cellcom also has two additional properties which it leases: one in Haifa, with an area of approximately 8,900 square meters, and the other in Rosh Ha’ayin, with an area of approximately 3,300 square meters.

Intangible assets

Cellcom has the right to use frequencies for the provision of communication services in its communication networks.

In August 2015, Cellcom was allocated 3 megahertz (“MHz”) in the 1800 MHz range for 4G networks (in light of Cellcom’s existing 1800 MHz frequencies). As opposed to the frequencies which were provided in the past to Cellcom, which are valid during Cellcom’s license period, the frequencies won by Cellcom, as part of the tender, were provided for a period of 10 years. Additionally, in order to provide optimal performance on the 4G network, Cellcom will require additional frequencies beyond those which were allocated to it in accordance with the 4G frequencies tender, and due to the fact that the Ministry of Communication believes that, for this purpose, Cellcom will clear 12 MHz in the 1800 MHz frequencies which were allocated to it for the purpose of the 2G network, Cellcom cleared such frequencies in locations where the low use of the 2G network, in combination with advanced and modern software programs which allow it, with minimum adverse impact on the performance of the 2G network. Additionally, insofar as the network sharing agreements with Electra and Xfone, are realized, Cellcom will be able to enjoy 10 MHz in the 1800 MHz frequencies of Golan and Xfone. If the aforementioned frequencies are not provided to Cellcom, Cellcom will hold a lower number of frequencies than its competitors, which may result in harm to Cellcom’s competitive position.

The Ministry of Communication is evaluating the possibility of replacing 850 MHz frequencies with 900 MHz frequencies. This process will require Cellcom to perform significant investments in its networks.

Cellcom is a member of the GSM association, which includes various operators from all over the world which use GSM technology, and which meet the standards of the association. As a member of the association, Cellcom is entitled to make use of the association’s intellectual property rights, including use of the GSM logo and trademark.

Cellcom has rights to a large number of trademarks and trade names which are registered under the names of Cellcom and Netvision, as applicable. Additionally, several patents are registered under Cellcom’s name.

Insurance

Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings is a public company which was incorporated in 1987, in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel. The shares of Clal have been listed for trading on the stock exchange since 1988. Clal is a holding company which is primarily engaged in the insurance, pension and provident funds segments, and in the holding of assets and real and other businesses (such as insurance agencies), and which constitutes one of the largest insurance groups in Israel. Clal has three operating segments: long term savings, non-life insurance and health insurance.

Long term savings segment

General information regarding operating segment This operating segment includes the life insurance branch, the pension funds branch, the provident funds and study funds branch. The activities in the life insurance branch were performed in 2016 through Clal Insurance. The activity in the pension and provident fund branch was performed in 2016 through the holdings of Clal Insurance in Clal Pension and Provident Funds (100%) and in Atudot Havatika (50%).

Products and services.

The products in the segment primarily provide solutions for the retirement period to salaried employees and self-employed workers, private investment solutions and coverages in case of death, disability and loss of income due to loss of working capacity. Life insurance products constitute a contractual undertaking between the insurer and the policyholder, and include insurance plans which allow the accrual of savings, for different time ranges, and insurance plans and/or combinations in insurance plans which include insurance covers for death, illness, loss of working capacity and disability. A policyholder who has reached the end of the insurance period is entitled to insurance benefits (the amounts which have accrued in the savings component of the policy), in accordance with the policy terms. The policyholder may choose, subject to the provisions of the legislative arrangement, to receive these amounts in a one-time amount (“Capital Payment”), in lifetime payout installments (“Annuity”), or as a combination of the two, according to the policy terms; In some Annuity products, the policyholder benefits from an Annuity factor which is protected against extended life expectancy, and which is determined on the acquisition date of the policy, or on the commencement date of the payment of the Annuity to the policyholder, or which can be acquired once the policyholder reaches at least age 60. Pension funds constitute a mutual insurance fund, and operate in accordance with regulations which may change from time to time. A pension fund member is entitled to receive, beginning on the retirement date, lifetime Annuity payments, which are based on Annuity factors which do not guarantee life expectancy, and the Annuity may change from time to time, in accordance with the actuarial balance of the fund. Comprehensive pension funds allow pension savings for pension purposes and insurance coverage for death and disability which partially benefit from designated debentures, and to which it can be can be made subject to the limits prescribed in law;General (supplementary) pension funds which do not benefit from designated debentures, and which allow pension savings for Annuity purposes, and to which deposits cam be made beyond the limit prescribed in law. Some of the general funds including additional insurance coverages, beyond the old age Annuity;Provident funds provide savings solutions both for the long term (such as provident funds for severance pay and compensation to salaried employees) and for the medium term (study funds), without insurance coverages acquired directly from the managing company. A member is entitled to withdraw the amounts which accrued in his favor in the provident funds, excluding study funds, in a one-time amount or as an Annuity, in accordance with the period when they deposited them. Funds which accrued in favor of a member in study funds are withdrawn in a one-time payment. Beginning in June 2016, provident funds for investment were established in the branch, which are intended to allow a capital savings track for individual funds, and which will include an incentive for the withdrawal of funds accrued therein as an Annuity during the retirement period.

Restrictions, legislation, standardization and special constraints which apply to the operating segment. The activity in this segment is subject to the provisions of the law which apply to insurers and to pension funds and provident funds which operate in this segment, including the Insurance Law, the Control of Financial Services (Provident Funds) Law, 5765-2005 (the “Provident Funds Law”), the Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Approval and Management of Provident Funds), 5724-1964 (the “Provident Fund Regulations”), the Control of Financial Services Law (Pension Advice, Marketing and Clearing Systems), 5765-2005 (the “Pension Advice Law”), and subject to and in accordance with the directives of the Commissioner of Capital Markets, as issued from time to time.

Others

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

The Effect of Seasonality on Shufersal

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

165

In 2017, the Passover holiday fell at the middle of April, compared to 2016 when it was at the end of April. The timing of the holiday affects Shufersal’s sales and special offers in the second quarter of 2017, compared to last year. The Passover holiday in the second quarter of 2017 had a greater effect on Shufersal’s results than in the corresponding quarter in 2016, therefore analysis of the results for the first half of the year compared to the corresponding period in 2016 better represents the changes between the periods.

Legal Framework

Operations Center in Argentina

Regulation and Governmental Supervision

The laws and regulations governing the acquisition and transfer of real estate, as well as municipal zoning ordinances are applicable to the development and operation of our properties. Currently, Argentine law does not specifically regulate shopping 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.

Leases

Argentine law imposes certain restrictions on property owners, including:

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

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

Rent Increases

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

Lease Terms Limits

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

Rescission Rights

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

Other

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

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

166

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

Development and Use of the Land

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 controls physical features of improvements on property, such as height, design, set-back and overhang, consistent with the city’s urban landscape policy. The administrative agency in charge of the Urban Planning Code is the Secretary of Urban Planning of the City of Buenos Aires.

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

Buenos Aires Enablement Code. The Buenos Aires Enablemant Code ( Código de Habilitaciones de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires ) regulates the conditions under which the licenses or licenses to operate commercial establishments are granted and the rules and procedures that they must follow. The General Direction of Habilitations and Permits is the administrative division responsible for implementing and enforcing the Enablement Code of the City of Buenos Aires.

In other jurisdictions, our real estate activities are subject to various municipal regulations regarding urban planning, construction, occupation and the environment. The latter must respect federal principles. Additionally, in some jurisdictions we may be subject to the regulation of large commercial areas, which requires government approval of the location of certain commercial establishments.

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

Sales and Ownership

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

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

Real Estate Installment Sales Law. The Real Estate Installment Sales Law No. 14,005, as amended by Law No. 23,266 and Decree No. 2015/85, ( Ley de Venta de Inmuebles Fraccionados en Lotes en Cuotas ), 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.

167

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

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

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

Other Regulations

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

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

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

●	Are inconsistent with the essence of the service to be provided or limit liability for damages;
●	imply a waiver or restriction of consumer rights and an extension of seller rights; or
●	shift the burden of proof to consumers.

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

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

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

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

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

168

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

On November 6, 2009, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675, which regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and sets forth the environmental policy goals.

Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, such Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and mainly provides for restoration of the environment to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, for payment of compensation in lieu thereof. Such Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum reporting obligations to be fulfilled by natural and legal entities.

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

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

Control Systems

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

169

Insurance

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

Operations Center in Israel

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

General regulations applicable to our business in Israel

Proper Conduct of Banking Business

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

Reduced Centralization Act

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

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

(a)

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

(b)

Merge IDBD and DIC.

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

170

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

IDBD, as a first-tier company, and DIC, as a second-tier company, are not required to designate independent directors to their respective boards of directors or to appoint outside directors as required by the Reduced Centralization Act.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Reduced Centralization Act, the boards of directors of Cellcom, PBC, Elron, Gav-Yam, Ispro and Mehadrin, include a majority of independent outside directors. In June 2014, the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Centralization (Classification of a Company as a Tier Company) Regulations, No. 5774-2014, came into effect, as part of which exemptions were provided for certain “third-tier” entities from changing the composition of their boards of directors to comply with the Reduced Centralization Act. Pursuant to this law and the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Centralization (Concessions Regarding the Number of Outside directors) Regulations, No. 5774-2014, and in view of the number of directors who may be appointed with the consent of the Bronfman-Fisher Group (per the terms of the shareholders’ agreement between it and DIC), the Board of Directors of Shufersal includes a majority of independent outside directors. In this context, in August 2014, DIC entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Bronfman-Fisher (which at the time held approximately 19% of the share capital of Shufersal), pursuant to which DIC will vote in favor of the four directors designated by Bronfman-Fisher at the meeting of shareholders of Shufersal (out of a board of fifteen members), for so long as it holds the minimum defined percentage of the share capital of Shufersal, although DIC reserves the right to object to any candidate on reasonable grounds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Regulations applicable to each of the businesses in Israel

Real Estate

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

Supermarkets

Labor Law

The retail sector activities of Shufersal are subject to labor laws including the Employment of Workers by Human Resources Subcontractors Law, 5756-1996, the Extension Order in the Matter of Contract Workers in the Cleaning Branch in the Private Sector, the Minimum Wage Law, 5747-1987 and the Increased Enforcement of Labor Laws Law, 5772-2011. As of June 30, 2017, Shufersal employed approximately 13,900 workers, majority of which are subject to minimum wage requirements. The majority of Shufersal’s employees, in an estimated number of 11,000 of Shufersal employees, are parties to a collective bargaining agreement .

The provisions of the Minimum Wage Law (Increase of Minimum Wage - Emergency Provision), 5772 - 2015 and the amendment of the Minimum Wage Law, 5747 – 1987, resulted in an increase in the minimum wage effective as of July 2016 and led to an increase of NIS 40 million in Shufersal’s wage expense in 2016 (compared with 2015) . In Shufersal’s evaluation the increase of the minimum wage in Israel, changes to labor laws in Israel and the increased possibility of organized workers may detrimentally affect the business results of Shufersal and result in higher wage expenses of Shufersal.

Retail and Production

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

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

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

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

The Food Law and the Anti Trusts Law

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

172

The Food Law includes the following three systems:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(d) Provisions regarding the contemporaneous application of the Food Law and the Antitrust law - In December 2015, the Commissioner published a statement on the parallel application of the Antitrust Law and the Food Law listing cases in which only the provisions of the Food Law will apply and no additional regulation will be required under the Antitrust Law. As of the date of the notice Shufersal’s operations comply with the Food Law. As of December 31, 2016 the implementation of the Food Law has had no significant impact on Shufersal’s business.

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

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

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

Telecommunnications

Communications Regulations

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

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

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

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

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

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

Regulation of Multi-Channel Television Services

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

Cellcom’s Communications Licenses

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

174

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2. Further Regulation Applicable to Communications Services

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

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

3. Permits for Setting Up Base Sites

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

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

175

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

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

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

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

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

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

Insurance

Areas of Activity of Clal Insurance Business Holdings

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

Capital Requirements of Insurance Companies

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

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

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

176

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

177

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

178

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

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

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

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

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

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	Risk Covered	Amount Insured (in Millions of Ps.)	Book Value (in Millions of Ps.)
Buildings, machinery, silos, installation and furniture and equipment	Theft, fire and technical insurance	643	526
Vehicles	Theft, fire and civil and third parties liability	38	12

Urban properties and investment business

IRSA carries all-risk insurance for its shopping malls and other buildings covering damages to the property caused by fire, explosion, gas leak, hail, storm and winds, earthquakes, vandalism, theft and business interruption. IRSA also has civil liability insurance covering all potential damages to third parties or goods arising from the development of its businesses throughout the whole Argentine territory. IRSA is in compliance with all the legal requirements relating to mandatory insurance, including statutory coverage under the Occupational Risk Law, life insurance required under collective bargaining agreements and other insurance required by the laws and decrees. Its history of damages is limited to only one claim made as a result a fire in Alto Avellaneda Shopping in March 2006, in which the loss was substantially recovered from its insurers. These insurance policies have all the specifications, limits and deductibles that are customary in the market and which IRSA believes are adequate for the risks to which it is exposed in its daily operations. IRSA also has purchased civil liability insurance to cover its directors’ and officers’ liability.

183

Control Systems

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

Item 3 “Key Information – D. Risk Factors” for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to us.

For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, unless otherwise specified, references to fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 relate to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Revenue derived from the sale of goods is recognized when: (a) material risks and benefits derived from title to property have been transferred; (b) the company does not retain any management function on the assets sold nor does it have any control whatsoever on such assets; (c) the amount of revenues and costs associated to the transaction may be measured on a reliable basis; and (d) the company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction.

Revenue derived from the provision of services is recognized when (a) the amount of revenue and costs associated to the services may be measured on a reliable basis; (b) the company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction, and (c) the level of completion of services may be measured on a reliable basis.

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 from 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 from the cultivation bases, collection of the relevant receivable is probable 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 provide agricultural-related (including but not limited to watering and feedlot services) and brokerage services to third parties. Revenue from services is recognized as services are rendered.

We also lease land to third parties under operating lease agreements. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

184

Investment property activities:

· Rental and services - Shopping malls portfolio

Revenues derived from business activities developed in our shopping malls mainly include rental income under operating leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from several services provided to our lessees.

Rental income from shopping mall leased out under operating leases, admission rights and fees related to their real estate agent business are recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.

Contingent rents, being lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the years in which they are earned. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.

Lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance charges and collective promotion funds of our shopping malls are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These common area maintenance charges include all such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the shopping malls. The lessor is responsible for determining the need and suitability of incurring a common area expense. We makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. We have assessed the substance of the transactions and conclude that we are acting as a principal since it has exposure to the significant risks and rewards associated with the rendering of services. Service charge income is presented within rental income and services, separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.

· Rental and services - Offices and other rental properties

Rental income from offices and other rental properties include rental income from office leased out under operating leases, income for services and expenses recovery paid from tenants.

Rental income from offices and other rental properties leased out under operating leases is recognized in the income statements on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.

Lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance expenses of our offices and other rental properties are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These common area maintenance expenses include all such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the offices and other rental properties. We make the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. We considered that we act as a principal in these cases. The accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as service charge revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are recognized as incurred.

· Revenues from supermarkets

Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business are recognized at the fair value of the consideration collected or receivable, net of returns and discounts. Where the credit term is short and financing is that typical in the industry, consideration is not discounted. Where 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.

Generally, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of goods to the client. In international sales, revenue is recognized upon loading goods with the forwarder. Where two or more products are sold under one single contract, the Company separates each component and gives them a separate accounting treatment. The attribution of value to each component is based on the relative fair value of each unit. Should the fair value not be measurable on a reliable basis, then revenue is attributed based on the difference arising between the total amount of the executed contract and the fair value of the goods delivered.

As regards client loyalty programs, the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in relation to the initial sale is allocated across the rewards credits and the other components of the sale. The amount allocated to rewards credits is estimated based on the market value of the goods to be delivered. The fair value of the right to purchase products at a discount is calculated considering the expected exchange ratio and the expected terms. Such amount is deferred and revenue is recognized only where rewards credits are exchanged and the Company has complied with its obligation to provide the products at a discount, or else when such reward credits have expired. The amount of revenue recognized under such circumstances is based on the number of reward credits that have been exchanged for products with discounts, in relation to the total number of reward credits expected to be exchanged. Deferred revenue is then reversed when reward credits are no longer likely to be exchanged.

185

In addition, when the Company acts as agent and not as main supplier in a transaction, revenue is recognized at the net amount of commissions. Revenue from commissions is recognized based on transactions conducted by credit card companies at the rate and on the date they are credited. Revenue from credit margins of credit cards is recognized on the date the client is bound to pay and revenue for subscription fees is recognized on a monthly basis.

· Revenue from communication services and sale of communication equipment

Revenue derived from the use of communication networks by the Company, including mobile phones, internet services, international calls, fixed line calls, interconnection rates and roaming service rates, are recognized when the service is provided, proportionally to the extent the transaction has been realized, and provided all other criteria have been met for revenue recognition.

Revenue from the sale of mobile phone cards are initially recognized as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue as they are used or upon expiration, whichever takes place earlier.

A transaction involving the sale of equipment to a final user normally also involves a service sale transaction. In general, this type of sale is performed without a contractual obligation by the client to consume telephone services for a minimum amount over a predetermined period. As a result, the Company records the sale of equipment separately and recognizes revenue pursuant to the transaction value upon delivery of the equipment to the client. Revenue from telephone services are recognized and accounted for as they are provided. When the client is bound to make a minimum consumption of services during a predefined period, the contract formalizes a transaction of several elements and, therefore, revenue from the sale of equipment is recorded at an amount that should not exceed its fair value, and is recognized upon delivery of the equipment to the client and provided the criteria for recognition are met. The 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.

Effects of the Global Macroeconomic Environment

Most of our assets are located in Argentina, where we conduct our operations, and in Israel. Therefore, our financial condition and the results of our operations are significantly dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in both countries.

The table below shows Argentina’s GDP growth, inflation, Dollar exchange rates and the appreciation (depreciation) of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar for the indicated periods.

	Fiscal year ended June 30,
	2017	2016	2015
GDP growth	2.7 %	(3.4 %)	1.2 %
Inflation (IPIM) (1)	14.2 %	26.7 %	13.6 %
Inflation (CPI) (2)	21.9 %	37.6 %	14.0 %
Appreciation (depreciation) of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar (3)	(10.6 %)	(65.9 %)	(11.8 %)
Average exchange rate per US$1.00 (4)	Ps.16.5800	Ps.14.9900	Ps.9.038
Appreciation (depreciation) of the NIS against the U.S. Dollar	9.6 %	(2.3 %)	(10.0 %)

(1) IPIM is the wholesale price index as measured by the Argentine Ministry of Treasury.

(2) CPI is the consumer price index as measured by the Argentine Ministry of Treasury.

(3) Depreciation corresponding to fiscal year 2016 is mostly due to the devaluation that took place on December 17, 2015.

(4) Represents average of the selling and buying exchange rate.

Argentine GDP increased 2.7% during our 2017 fiscal year, compared to decrease of 3.4% in our fiscal 2016. Shopping mall sales grew 11.3% in the fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the unemployment rate was at 8.7% of the country’s economically active population compared to 9.3% as of June 30, 2016.

In regard to the Argentine economy, changes in short and long-term interest rates, unemployment and inflation may reduce the availability of consumer credit and the purchasing power of individuals who frequent shopping malls. These factors, combined with low GDP growth, may reduce general consumption rates in our shopping malls. Since leases agreements in our shopping malls for most of our revenue, require tenants to pay a percentage of their total sales as rent, a general reduction in consumption may reduce our revenue. A reduction in the number of shoppers in our shopping malls and consequently, in the demand for parking, may also reduce our revenues from services rendered.

Regarding the macroeconomic environment of Brazil, growth is projected to recover gradually and remain moderate. According to information published by IMF, growth forecast is expected at 0.2 percent in 2017 and 1.7 percent in 2018. Inflation has continued on the downside, allowing for prospects of faster monetary easing. According to the OECD, consumer and business confidence is rising and agricultural exports started the year 2017 on a strong footing.

186

Regarding Israel’s economy, and based on information published by OECD, the maintenance of expansionary monetary and fiscal policies and projected wage increases will continue to shore up domestic demand, which will remain as the main driver of growth. After picking up to 4% in 2016, growth is projected to be around 3% in 2017/18. Inflation is projected to firm up gradually.

Effects of inflation

The following are annual inflation rates during our fiscal years indicated, based on information published by the INDEC, which is dependent on the Argentine Ministry of Economy and Production:

Fiscal Year ended June 30	Consumer Price Index	Wholesale Price Index
2013	10.5 %	13.5 %
2014 (from January 2014)	15.0 %	27.7 %
2015	14.0 %	13.6 %
2016	37.6 % (1)	26.7 % (1)
2017	21.9 %	14.2 %

Given the modifications to the system that INDEC uses to measure CPI, there is no data for any price variations from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. For that reason, we present aggregate prices from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016, published by INDEC.

Continuing increases in the rate of inflation are likely to have an adverse effect on our operations. Additionally, the minimum lease payments we receive from our shopping mall tenants are generally adjusted in accordance with the CER, an inflation index published by the Central Bank. 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.

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 3% 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 21% and 25% on an annual 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 regarding these adjustment provisions, there can be no assurance that we may be able to enforce such clauses contained in our lease agreements. See “Business—Our Shopping Malls—Principal Terms of our Leases.”

An increase in our operating costs caused by higher inflation could have a material adverse effect on us if our tenants are unable to pay higher rent due to the increase in expenses. Moreover, the shopping mall business is affected by consumer spending and by prevailing economic conditions that affect potential customers. All of our shopping malls and commercial properties are located in Argentina, and, as a consequence, their business and that of our tenants could be adversely affected by a recession in Argentina.

Since the INDEC modified its methodology used to calculate the CPI in January 2007, there have been concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation statistics, which led to the creation of the IPCNu in February 2014 in order to address the quality of official data. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Argentina— There are concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation statistics .”

Inflation rate in Brazil is forecast to decline, reflecting stronger effects from negative output gaps, currency appreciations, and favorable supply shocks to food prices, according to the IMF.

Regarding rates of inflation in Israel, the Consumer Price Index, according to OECD, showed a 0.5% increase in the prices in 2014, followed by a deflation of 0.6% in 2015 and 0.5% in 2016. Likewise, inflation projections for 2017 and 2018 are expected to be around 1.0% and 1.7%, respectively.

Seasonality

IRSA’s shopping malls business is directly affected by seasonality, influencing the level of IRSA’s tenants’ sales. During Argentine summer holidays (January and February) IRSA’s tenants’ sales are generally at their lowest level, whereas during winter holidays (July) and in December (Christmas) they reach their highest level. Clothing retailers generally change their collections in spring and autumn, positively affecting IRSA’s shopping mall sales. Sales Discount sales at the end of each season are also one of the main seasonal factors affecting IRSA’s business.

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

187

Effects of interest rate fluctuations

Most of our U.S. Dollar denominated debt accrues interest at a fixed rate. An increase in interest rates will not necessary result in a significant increase in our financial costs and may not materially affect our financial condition or our results of operations.

Effects of foreign currency fluctuations

A significant portion of our financial debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, a 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 rate fluctuations significantly increase the risk of default on our lease receivables. Foreign currency exchange restrictions that may be imposed by the Argentine government could prevent or restrict our access to U.S. dollars, affecting our ability to service our U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities.

Typically real estate transactions in Argentina are negotiated and prices are set 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.

During fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, the Peso depreciated against the U.S. dollar by approximately 11% and 66%, respectively, which caused an impact on the comparability of our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2017 to our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016, primarily in our revenues from office rentals and our net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. The depreciation of the Peso affected our assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, as reflected in “financial results, net” in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

As a result of the depreciation of the Peso and the discontinuation of the official exchange rate in December 2015, the seller exchange rate was Ps.9.6880 per US$1.00 on November 30, 2015, Ps.13.0400 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2015, Ps.15.0400 per US$1.00 on June 30, 2016, and Ps.16.6300 per US$1.00 on June 30, 2017. See “Local Exchange Market and Exchange Rates.”

During fiscal year 2017, Israeli New Shekel apreciated against the U.S. dollar, by approximately 9.6%, while during fiscal year 2016 that currency depreciated by 2.2%, which caused an impact on the comparability of our results of IDBD´s operations for the year ended June 30, 2017 to IDBD´s results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30 2017, the offer exchange rate was NIS3.4882 per US$1.00, and NIS3.5340 per US$1.00 on September 30, 2017. For more information about the exchange rates, see “Local Exchange Market and Exchange Rates.”

The exposure to the functional currencies is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by entering into foreign currency derivative instruments and/or by borrowing in foreign currencies, or other methods, considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.

Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRSs 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.”

Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The following is intended to provide an understanding of the policies that management considers critical because of the level of complexity, judgment or estimations involved in their application and their impact on the consolidated financial statements. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

188

Estimation	Main assumptions	Potential implications
Business combination - Allocation of acquisition prices	Assumptions regarding timing, amount of future revenues and expenses, revenue growth, expected rate of return, economic conditions, discount rate, among others.	Should any of 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 Company’s best factual assumption relative to the economic conditions expected to prevail. Business continuity and share market public in connection with cash-generating unit value of the companies. 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 Company 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.	Incorrect exposure of investment property values.
Income tax expense	The Company estimates the income tax amount payable for transactions where the Treasury’s Claim cannot be clearly determined. Additionally, the Company 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 Company 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 Company’s clients’ portfolios. Bad debts based on the expiration of account receivables and account receivables’ specific conditions.	Improper recognition of charges / reimbursements of the allowance for bad debt.
Hybrid financial instrument related to the non-recourse loan from Koor (Adama)	· The value of Adama’s shares. · Unobserved data underlying the binomial model applied to the determination of the embedded derivative instruments’ value.	Changes in losses or profits resulting from the variation in the fair value of the embedded derivative, and variations in the book amount of the primary contract recognized as revenues or expenses from financing.
Level 2 and 3 financial instruments	Main assumptions used by the Company are: · Projected discounted income as per discount rate · Values determined in accordance with the company’s shares in equity funds on the basis of its financial statements, based on fair value or investment assessments. · Comparable market multiple (EV/GMV ratio). · Underlying asset price (market price) and share price volatility (historical) and market interest rate (Libor curve).	Wrong recognition of a charge to income.
Probability estimate of contingent liabilities	Whether more economic resources may be spent in relation to litigation against the Company; such estimate is based on legal advisors’ opinions.	Charge / reversal of provision in relation to a claim.
Biological assets	Main assumptions used in valuation are: yields, operating costs, selling expenses, future of sales prices, discount rate.	Wrong recognition/valuation of biological assets. See sensitivities modeled on these parameters in Note 14.

Business 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 component of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM. According to IFRS 8, the CODM represents a function whereby strategic decisions are made and resources are assigned. The CODM function is carried out by the President of the Company, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain. In addition, and due to the acquisition of IDBD, two responsibility levels have been established for resource allocation and assessment of results of the two operations centers, through executive committees in Argentina and Israel.

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 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.

Agricultural business:

Starting in fiscal year 2017, the CODM reviews certain corporate expenses associated to all of the agribusiness segments on an aggregate and separate basis, and such expenses have been accounted for under Other Segments and Corporate. As of June 2016 and 2015, the segment information has been modified for comparability purposes with the current fiscal.

The “Land transformation and sales” segment comprises gains from the disposal and development of farmlands activities

The “Other segments and corporate” includes, principally, slaughtering and processing in the meat refrigeration plant; and brokerage activities, among others. In addition, includes corporate expenses related to agricultural business.

The amounts corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect changes in segment information.

Urban properties and investments:

Operation Center in Argentina

Within this center, IRSA operates in the following segments:

The “Shopping malls” segment includes assets and results from the commercial exploitation and development of Shopping malls, principally comprised of lease and the providing of services related to the lease of commercial facilities and other spaces in the Shopping malls.

The “Office and others” segment includes the assets and the operating results of the activity of lease of office space and other rental properties and service revenues related to this activity.

The “Sales and developments” segment includes assets and the operating results of the sales of undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties, as the results related with its development and maintenance. Also included in this segment are the results of the sales of real property intended for rent, sales of hotels and other properties included in the International segment.

The “Hotels” segment includes the operating results of the hotels principally comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.

The “International” segment includes assets and operating profit or loss from business related to associates Condor and Lipstick. Through these associates, the Company derives revenue from hotels and an office building in United States, respectively. Until September 30, 2014, this segment included revenue from a subsidiary that owned the building located at 183 Madison Ave in New York, United States, which was sold that date. Additionally, until October 11, 2015, this international segment included results from the investment in IDBD carried at fair value.

190

The “Financial operations, Corporate and others” segment primarily includes the financial activities carried out by Banco Hipotecario and Tarshop, and other residual financial operations and corporate expenses related to the Operations center in Argentina.

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 earnings 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.

Operation Center in Israel

Within this center, IRSA operates in the following segments:

The “Real Estate” segment includes mainly assets and operating income derived from business related to the subsidiary PBC. Through PBC, the Company operates rental properties and residential properties in Israel, United States and other parts of the world and carries out commercial projects in Las Vegas, United States.

The “Supermarkets” segment includes assets and operating income derived from the business related to the subsidiary Shufersal. Through Shufersal, the Company mainly operates a supermarket chain in Israel.

The “Telecommunications” segment includes assets and operating income derived from the business related to the subsidiary Cellcom. Cellcom is a provider of telecommunication services and its main activities include the provision of mobile phone services, fixed line phone services, data and Internet, among others.

The “Insurance” segment includes the investment in Clal. This company is one of the most important insurance groups in Israel, and is mainly engaged in pension and social security insurance, among others. The Company does not have control over Clal; therefore, the business is not consolidated on a line-by-line basis but rather reported in a single line as a financial asset held for sale and valued at fair value, as required by the IFRS.

The “Others” segment includes the assets and income derived from other diverse business activities, such as technological developments, tourism, gas and oil assets, electronics, and others.

The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of this operating segment based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the equity in earnings of joint ventures and associates. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company consolidates results derived from its operations center in Israel with a three month lag, adjusted for the effects of significant transactions; Hence, IDBD’s results for the period extending from October 11, 2015 (acquisition date) through March 31, 2016 are included in the Company’s comprehensive income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

191

The Company consolidated twelve month worth of income from the Israel Operations Center, maintaining the three month lag and adjusting for the effects of material transactions.

Goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.

As those business segments involving the urban properties and investments business from the operations center in Argentina where the CODM evaluated assets under the proportional consolidation method, each reported asset includes the proportional share of the Company in the same class of assets of the associates and/or joint ventures. Only as an example, the investment properties amount reported to the CODM includes (i) the investment property balance as per the Statement of Financial Position plus (ii) the Company’s share of the investment properties of these joint ventures.

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 urban properties and investment business in the operations center in Argentina, most revenue from its operating segments are generated from, and their assets are located in Argentina, except for earnings 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 generated from and their assets are located in Israel, except for certain earnings from the Real Estate segment generated 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.

Below is a summarized analysis of the lines of business of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2017:

REVENUES

Our total revenues rose by 130.4%, from Ps.33,273 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.76,652 million in fiscal year 2017. This was mainly due to the 34.6% increase in the Agricultural Business, from Ps.2,912 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.3,919 million in fiscal year 2017, and to the 152.7% increase in the Urban Properties and Investments Business, from Ps.27,077 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.68,422 million in fiscal year 2017 in the Operations Center in Israel and to the increase of 31.3% in the Operations Center in Argentina, from Ps.3,284 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.4,311 million in fiscal year 2017.

209

Total revenues rose by 38.1%, from Ps.2,713 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.3,746 million in fiscal year 2017. This was due to the following increases:

●

Ps.287 million in the Crops activity,

●

Ps.41 million in the Cattle activity,

●

Ps.61 million in the Sugarcane activity,

●

Ps.358 million in the Agro-industrial activity,

●

Ps.202 million in the Other Segments and Corporate activity,

●

Ps.32 million in the Dairy activity, and

●

Ps.52 million in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity.

In turn, revenues from our interests in joint ventures declined by 50% from Ps.60 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.30 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of a 74.5% decline in Crops sold to Cresca, from Ps.51 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.13 million in fiscal year 2017.

Similarly, inter-segment revenues rose by 2.9%, from Ps.139 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.143 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a result of the leases of croplands between our subsidiary Brasilagro and its subsidiaries, which were reclassified from the Crops and Sugarcane activity to the Agricultural Rental and Services activity.

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations, revenues increased by 34.6%, from Ps.2,912 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.3,919 million in fiscal year 2017.

Operation Center in Argentina

Total revenues from the Urban Properties and Investments business increased by 29.4%, from Ps.4,442 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.5,750 million in fiscal year 2017. This was mainly due to an increase of Ps.905 million in the Shopping Malls segment, an increase of Ps.115 million in the Offices and Others segment, an increase of Ps.188 million in the Hotels segment, and an increase of Ps.100 million in the Sales and Development segment.

In turn, revenues from our interests in joint ventures did not exhibit significant variations when considering fiscal years 2017 and 2016.

Inter-segment revenues rose by 25.0%, from Ps.8 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.10 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of profits in the amount of 3 million derived by the Hotels segment in fiscal year 2017.

In addition, revenues from expenses and collective promotion fund rose by 24.8%, from Ps.1,194 million in fiscal year 2016 (out of which Ps.1,101 million is attributable to the Shopping Malls segment) to Ps.1,490 million in fiscal year 2017 (out of which Ps.1,375 million is attributable to the Shopping Malls segment).

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations, and expenses and collective promotion fund, revenues increased by 31.3%, from Ps.3,284 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.4,311 million in fiscal year 2017.

Shopping Malls

Revenues from the Shopping Malls segment increased 26.5%, from Ps.2,406 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.3,043 million in fiscal year 2017. Such increase was mostly attributable to:

●

an increase of Ps.408 million in revenues from fixed and variable rentals as a result of a 19.4% increase in our tenants’ sales, from Ps.28.8 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.34.4 million in fiscal year 2017;

●

an increase of Ps.55 million in revenues from admission fees;

●

an increase of Ps.39.5 million in parking revenues; and

●

an increase of Ps.134.5 million in revenues from commissions and other.

Offices and Others

Revenues from the Offices and Others segment increased 30.3%, from Ps.340 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.443 million in fiscal year 2017.Such revenues were impacted by the partial sale of investment properties during fiscal year 2017, which resulted in a reduction of the segment total leasable area. Rental revenues increased 29.3%, from Ps.331 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 to Ps.428 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, mostly as a result of the currency devaluation.

Sales and Developments

Revenues from the Sales and Developments segment rose from a gain of Ps.3 million in fiscal year 2016 to a gain of Ps.99 million in fiscal year 2017. This segment often varies significantly period over period, given that some of the sales consummated by the Company are non-recurrent. Such increase was mainly attributable to sales of floors at Beruti building and parking space in Rosario building.

Hotels

Total revenues from our Hotels segment rose by 35.8%, from Ps.534 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.725 million in fiscal year 2017, primarily due to an increase in the average room rate of our hotels (measured in Argentine Pesos).

International

No revenues were recorded from the International segment in the fiscal years under review.

Financial Operations, Corporate and Others

Revenues from our Financial Operations, Corporate and Others segment did not experience significant changes in the periods under review.

Operation Center in Israel

Real Estate.

Revenues from the Real estate segment increased from Ps.1,538 million during fiscal year 2016 to Ps.4,918 million during fiscal year 2017. Such variation was due to (i) the comparability of the figures, (ii) a 24% revaluation of the NIS against the Argentine peso, and (iii) the recording of revenues from the sale of apartments and real estate is affected by the timing of the occupation of apartments, which was higher in 2017.

213

Supermarkets.

Revenues from the Supermarket segment increased from Ps.18,610 million during fiscal year 2016 to Ps.47,277 million during fiscal year 2017. Such variation was due to (i) the comparability of the figures, and (ii) a 24% revaluation of the NIS against the Argentine peso.

Telecommunications.

Revenues from the Telecomunications segment increased from Ps.6,655 million during fiscal year 2016 to Ps.15,964 million during fiscal year 2017. Such variation was due to (i) the comparability of the figures and (ii) a 24% revaluation of the NIS against the Argentine peso.

Others.

Revenues from the Others segment decreased from Ps.274 million during fiscal year 2016 to Ps.263 million during fiscal year 2017. Such variation was due to (i) the comparability of the figures, (ii) a 24% revaluation of the NIS against the Argentine peso, and (iii) the sale of some revenue generating assets of DIC.

COSTS

The Company’s total costs rose by 133.9%, from Ps.23,725 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.55,498 million in fiscal year 2017. This was mainly due to a 43.6% increase in the Agricultural business, from Ps.3,814 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.5,477 million in fiscal year 2017, and to the 155.1% increase in the Urban Properties and Investments Business at the Operations Center in Israel, from Ps.19,252 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.49,110 million in fiscal year 2017, and to the 38.2% increase in this business at the Operations Center in Argentina, from Ps.659 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.911 million in fiscal year 2017.

Total costs rose by 47.9%, from Ps.3,581 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.5,296 million in fiscal year 2017. This was primarily attributable to the following increases:

●

Ps.840 million in the Crops activity,

●

Ps.110 million in the Cattle activity,

●

Ps.45 million in the Dairy activity,

●

Ps.161 million in the Sugarcane activity,

●

Ps.6 million in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity,

●

Ps.2 million increase in the Land Transformation and Sales segment,

●

Ps.397 million in the Agro-industrial activity, and

●

Ps.154 million in the Other Segments and Corporate activity.

In turn, the cost of our joint ventures experienced a net decline of Ps.50 million, from Ps.93 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.43 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of a Ps.57 million reduction in the costs of Cresca’s crops, from Ps.80 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.23 million in fiscal year 2017.

Similarly, inter-segment costs fell by Ps.2 million, from Ps.140 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.138 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a result of the rise in the cost of sales of crops and sugarcane during the year, due to leases of croplands between our subsidiary Brasilagro and its subsidiaries, which were reclassified from the Crops and Sugarcane sctivity to the Agricultural Rental and Services activity.

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations, costs increased by 43.6%, from Ps.3,814 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.5,477 million in fiscal year 2017.

Crops

Total costs from the Crops activity increased by 43.9%, from Ps.1,801 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.2,591 million in fiscal year 2017. The costs from the Crops activity are broken down in the following table:

	Fiscal year 2017	Fiscal year 2016
	In million of Ps.
Cost of sales	1,178	940
Cost of production	1,413	861
Total Costs	2,591	1,801

Cost of sales in the Crops activity increased by 25.3%, from Ps.940 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.1,178 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

●

a 41.1% rise in the average cost per ton of crops sold in fiscal year 2017, from Ps.1,817 per ton in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.2,563 per ton in fiscal year 2017, due to higher average market prices for crops; and

●

offset by an 11.2% decrease in the volume of tons sold as compared to the previous fiscal year.

The cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 81.6% in fiscal year 2016 and 84.1% in fiscal year 2017.

The cost of production in the Crops activity increased by 64.1%, from Ps.861 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.1,413 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

●

a 67.9% rise in direct production costs during this fiscal year compared to the previous fiscal year, attributable to both the larger number of hectares sown (8.4%) and the increase in the average cost per ton (27.9%).

Cattle

Total costs in the Cattle activity increased by 43.1%, from Ps.267 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.382 million in fiscal year 2017. The following table shows the costs in the Cattle activity:

	Fiscal year 2017	Fiscal year 2016
	In million of Ps.
Cost of sales	169	136
Cost of production	213	131
Total Costs	382	267

215

Cost of sales increased 24.3%, from Ps.136 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.169 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

●

an increase in the average cost per kilogram sold (48.3%); and

●

a 16.5% decline in beef sales volumes.

Cost of production in the Cattle activity rose by 62.6%, from Ps.131 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.213 million in fiscal year 2017. The higher cost of production from the Cattle activity in fiscal year 2016 was mainly attributable to:

●

the incorporation of Brazil into the business;

●

higher payroll expenses;

●

higher feeding costs as a result of a 5% increase in the volume consumed by cattle, due to a higher quantity of head in the feedlot, and a 38% increase in the average cost of food, particularly, internally produced silo corn and silo sorghum; and

●

an increase in health and insemination due to better quality sperm and incremental costs of supplies.

Dairy

Total costs in the Dairy activity increased by 33.3%, from Ps.135 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.180 million in fiscal year 2017. The following table shows the costs in the Dairy activity:

	Fiscal year 2017	Fiscal year 2016
	In million of Ps.
Cost of sales	87	61
Cost of production	93	74
Total Costs	180	135

Total costs of sale in the Dairy activity rose by 42.6%, from Ps.61 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.87 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

●

a 40% increase in the average cost per kilogram sold of milking cows, from Ps.15.5 per kg in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.21.7 per kg in fiscal year 2017;

●

a 50% increase in the average price of milk from Ps.3.2 per liter in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.4.8 per liter in fiscal year 2017;

●

a 43.2% increase in the sales volume of milking cows;

●

offset by a 14.5% decline in the volume of milk sold.

Cost of production in the Dairy activity increased by 25.7%, from Ps.74 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.93 million in fiscal year 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to feeding, payroll and maintenance costs. The rise in feeding costs was mainly attributable to a 68% increase in the average cost of food, offset by a 29% decline in consumption volume, due to smaller milking cows and due to the lower consumption of internally produced silo corn (26%) and silo sorghum (45%).

Sugarcane

Total costs in the Sugarcane activity rose by 33.8%, from Ps.517 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.688 million in fiscal year 2017. The following table shows a breakdown of costs in the Sugarcane activity:

	Fiscal year 2017	Fiscal year 2016
	In million of Ps.
Cost of sales	352	263
Cost of production	336	254
Total Costs	688	517

Cost of sales in the Sugarcane activity rose by 34.0%, from Ps.263 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.352 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

●

a 80.3% increase in the average price per ton of sugarcane sold in fiscal year 2017, from Ps.215.3 per ton in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.388.2 per ton in fiscal year 2017;

●

offset by a decline of 312,880 tons in sugarcane sold during fiscal year 2017 compared to the previous fiscal year, particularly, by our subsidiary Brasilagro.

216

The cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 89.5% in fiscal year 2016 and 99.2% in fiscal year 2017.

The cost of production of the Sugarcane activity increased 32.3%, from Ps.254 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.336 million in fiscal year 2017, with such increase being mostly attributable to Brazil, as a consequence of an additional productive area of 15,000 hectares.

Total production costs per ton increased by 48.2%, from Ps.222 per ton in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.329 per ton in fiscal year 2017.

Agricultural Rental and Services

Total costs in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity rose by 30.0%, from Ps.20 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.26 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

●

an increase from Argentina mostly attributable to the seed multiplication service, as a consequence of a larger area allocated to the business and an increase in costs;

●

offset by a decline from Brazil due to a smaller leased area during the current fiscal year.

Land Transformation and Sales

Total costs in the Land Transformation and Sales segment increased by 22.2%, from Ps.9 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.11 million in fiscal year 2017.

Agro-industrial

Total costs in the Agro-industrial activity rose by 40.9%, from Ps.925 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.1,303 million in fiscal year 2017, due to an inflationary context that hindered the increase in gross marginal contribution. The reason for this increase is attributable to a rise in the acquisition cost of all of its components, particularly cattle, and to an increase in labor, to a lesser extent.

Others segments and Corporate

Total costs in Other segments and Corporate activity rose by 111.4%, from Ps.140 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.296 million in fiscal year 2017, primarily as a result of the increased cost of sales of supplies, increased costs associated to the brokerage business related to commodity trading transactions, and increased costs of coverage, advertising and storage services.

Cost of sales in our Urban Properties and Investments Business in the Operations Center in Argentina rose by 30.4%, from Ps.1,848 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.2,409 million in fiscal year 2017. This was mainly due to a Ps.383 million increase in the Shopping Malls segment, a Ps.31 million increase in the Offices and Other segments, a Ps.24 million increase in the Sales and Developments segment, and a Ps.123 million increase in the Hotels segment.

In turn, the costs corresponding to expenses and collective promotion fund increased 25.5%, from Ps.1,207 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.1,515 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly due to the expenses and collective promotion fund attributable to the Shopping Malls, which rose by 25.5%, from Ps.1,113 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.1,397 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of: (i) an increase in maintenance, security, cleaning, repair and similar expenses amounting to Ps.142 million (mainly stemming from increases in security and cleaning services and in the rates for public utilities), (ii) an increased charge for salaries and wages, social security contributions and other payroll expenses amounting to Ps.109 million; and (iii) an increase in taxes, rates and contributions and other expenses amounting to Ps.36 million, among other items. In addition, the variation was due to an increase in common maintenance expenses incurred by the Offices and Others segment, which rose by Ps.24.0 million, from Ps.94.0 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.118.0 million in fiscal year 2017, primarily attributableto: (i) maintenance, cleaning and lease expenses and common maintenance expenses and others for Ps.21.5 million; (ii) expenses associated to salaries and wages and social security contributions for Ps.6.1 million; and (iii) taxes, rates and contributions for Ps.3.5 million.

In addition, costs from our joint ventures experienced a net increase of 41.7%, from Ps.12 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.17 million in fiscal year 2017.

Finally, no costs from inter-segment operations were recorded in fiscal year 2017, while in fiscal year 2016 such costs amounted to Ps.6 million.

Estimated results from the valuation of our crops in progress at fair value fell by 32.6%, from Ps.369 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.248.8 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of the decrease in the corn price.

Cattle

Income from production in the Cattle activity rose by 19.7%, from Ps.254 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.304 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

●

a 59.7% increase in the average price per kilogram produced, from Ps.17.6 per kg in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.28.1 per kg in fiscal year 2017;

Dairy

Income from production in the Dairy activity increased by 17.6%, from Ps.74 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.87 million in fiscal year 2017. This increase was mainly due to:

●

a 51.1% increase in the average price of milk, from Ps.3.15 per liter in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.4.76 per liter in fiscal year 2017;

●

offset by a 14.1% decline in milk production volume, from 16.3 million liters in fiscal year 2016 to 14 million liters in fiscal year 2017. This reduction in production volume was mainly due to a lower average number of milking cows per day, from 1,951 milking cows per day in fiscal year 2016 to 1,472 milking cows per day in fiscal year 2017, partially offset by a 13% increase in the efficiency level of average daily milk production per cow, from 21.82 liters per cow in fiscal year 2016 to 24.68 liters per cow in fiscal year 2017;

●

an 11.5% decrease in the production of milking cows and a 15.4% decline in average price; and

●

the result from holding milking cows, which fell by 32.1%, from a gain of Ps.13.1 million in fiscal year 2016 to a gain of Ps.8.9 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of the sale of a large portion of the stock.

Sugarcane

Income from production in the Sugarcane activity rose by 15.2%, from Ps.309 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.356 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a consequence of:

a 25.0% increase in the average price of sugarcane production;

●

offset by a 10.6% decrease in total production volume, from 1,142,620 tons in fiscal year 2016 to 1,021,298 tons in fiscal year 2017.

The 10.6% decline in the production volume from the Sugarcane activity was attributable to a fall of 12.9% in average production yield, which went from 88.3 tons/hectare in fiscal year 2016 to 76.9 tons/hectare in fiscal year 2017.

The following table shows the actual tons produced and income as of June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Estimated results from the valuation of our sugarcane crops in progress at fair value increased significantly from a gain of Ps.19.8 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.49 million in fiscal year 2017. This variation originated mainly in Brazil, and was caused by the following factors:

●

the number of estimated hectares went up from a year-on-year increase of 6% in fiscal year 2016 to a year-on-year increase of 168% in fiscal year 2017, as a consequence of the addition of an area of 15,000 productive hectares under share-farming agreements;

●

the estimated yields went from an year-on-year increase close to zero in fiscal year 2016 to a year-on-year decline of 20% in fiscal year 2017; and

●

the estimated unit costs went down from a year-on-year increase of 12% in fiscal year 2016 to a year-on-year increase of 7% in fiscal year 2017.

Income from changes in the net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest declined significantly, from a gain of Ps.208 million in fiscal year 2016 to a loss of Ps.74 million in fiscal year 2017. This fall was mainly caused in Argentina, as a consequence of:

●

a decrease in corn and soybean prices during the first half of 2017, after prices had reached a record high by the end of June 2016, and

●

the widespread price increase that took place by the end of the first half of 2016, caused by the elimination/reduction of withholdings on the agricultural industry and the strong devaluation of the Argentine Peso in respect of the US dollar.

There were neither interests in joint ventures nor inter-segment eliminations in income from changes in the net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest.

Gross profit

As a result of the above mentioned factors, the Company’s gross profit increased 103.72%, from Ps.11,452 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.23,265 million in fiscal year 2017. This was primarily attributable to:

●

a 44.81% decline in the Agricultural Business, from Ps.1,002 million (gain) in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.553 million in fiscal year 2017;

●

a 146.8% increase in the Operations Center in Israel within the Urban Properties and Investments Business, from Ps.7,825 million (gain) in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.19,312 in fiscal year 2017; and

●

a 29.5% increase in the Operations Center in Argentina within the Urban Properties and Investments Business, from Ps.2,625 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.3,400 million in fiscal year 2017.

Real Estate.

Gross profit from the Real Estate segment increased from Ps.1,071 million during fiscal year 2016 to Ps.2.585 million during fiscal year 2017. Such variation was due to (i) the comparability of the figures and (ii) a 24% revaluation of the NIS against the Argentine peso. In 2017 gross profit as a percentage of the revenues derived from this segment, accounted for 52.6%.

Supermarkets.

Gross profit from the Supermarkets segment increased from Ps.4,534 million during fiscal year 2016 to Ps.11,845 million during fiscal year 2017. Such variation was due to (i) the comparability of the figures and (ii) a 24% revaluation of the NIS against the Argentine peso. In 2017 gross profit as a percentage of the revenues derived from this segment, accounted for 25.1%.

Telecommunications.

Gross profit from the Telecommunications segment increased from Ps.2,130 million during fiscal year 2016 to Ps.4,781 million during fiscal year 2017.

Net gain from fair value adjustment of investment properties

The net gain (loss) from fair value adjustment of the Company’s investment properties fell by 71.0%, from Ps.17,918 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.5,193 million in fiscal year 2017. This was mainly due to a Ps.13,034 million decline in the Urban Properties and Investments Business, partially offset by a Ps.309 million increase in the Agricultural business. Within the Urban Properties and Investments Business, the change is attributable to the Operations Center in Israel (a gain of Ps.645 million) and to the Operations Center in Argentina (a loss of Ps.13,679 million).

Agricultural Business

The increase in the net gain (loss) from fair value adjustment of investment properties is mainly attributable to Brasilagro since, as of the previous year-end, there were no leased hectares and, therefore, no net gain (loss) from fair value adjustment of investment properties was recorded, while as of the current year-end, there were 6,300 leased hectares, particularly, in the Jatobá farm. On the other hand, such results were offset by discontinued gains from Cresud since last year a portion of La Gramilla and Santa Bárbara was leased and such lease agreement was discontinued during the current season.

Operations Center in Argentina

Net gain (loss) from fair value adjustment of our investment properties for fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 amounted to Ps.4,488 million (Ps.2,068 million from our Shopping Malls segment; Ps.1,571 million from our Offices and Others segment; and Ps.849 million from our Sales and Developments segment). The significant appreciation in Pesos of our properties was mainly attributable to: (i) a slight decline of 16 basis points in the discount rate used to apply the discounted cash flow valuation methodology which increases the valuation of investment properties;mainly as a consequence of certain macroeconomic improvements leading to lower cost of capital; and (ii) since June 2016 through June 2017, the Argentine Peso depreciated by around 11% in respect of the US dollar (from Ps.15.04-US$1.00 to Ps.16.63- US$1.00) and the valuation of our investment properties are stated in US dollars since most operations in the Argentine real estate market are consummated in that currency.

We held our portfolio of Shopping Malls between the year ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. Valuation of our Shopping Malls increased by 8.2% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, mainly due to a fall in our cost of capital and the impact of the depreciation of the local currency.

Valuation of our office buildings increased by 32.5% in fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, mainly as a consequence of the impact of depreciation of the local currency and the increase in lease prices. In addition, the Company posted a profit of Ps.100 million from the sale of offices in fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, compared to Ps.908 million as of June 30, 2016, due to the sale of rental offices and parking space at several buildings.

Operations Center in Israel

Real Estate.

In fiscal year 2017, the net gain from fair value adjustment of investment properties from the Real Estate segment was Ps.374 million, which, as a percentage of revenues from this segment, accounted for 7.6%. In 2016 the result of this segment was a loss of Ps.271 million. Such variation is mainly due to the impairment of Las Vegas project (Tivoli) and the small revaluation of the HSBC building, compensated by the increase in fair value of the rest of the properties.

225

Net gain / (loss) from disposal of farmlands

Profits from the sale of farms derived by the Land Transformation and Sales segment rose by 14,100%, from a loss of Ps.2 million in fiscal year 2016 to a gain of Ps.280 million in fiscal year 2017, mainly as a result of sales consummated this year and the lack of operations the previous year.

General and Administrative Expenses from the Agricultural business rose by 33.1%, from Ps.311 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.414 million in fiscal year 2017. This was due to the following increases: Ps.31 million in the Crops activity, Ps.19 million in the Cattle activity, Ps.18 million in the Sugarcane activity, Ps.4 million in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity, Ps.5 million in the Agro-industrial activity and Ps.27 million in the Other Segments and Corporate activity, offset by a Ps.1 million increase in the Dairy activity.

The causes for the variation were:

●

The variation in Cresud’s administrative expenses is mostly due to increases in expenses associated to accountants’, IT and statutory auditors’ fees.

●

An increase in general and administrative expenses of our subsidiary Brasilagro, mainly as a result of the integration of Paraguay’s operations and our subsidiary FYO, due to increased expenses associated to its business, particularly, contracted services and salaries.

●

An increase in expenses due to inflation.

In turn, General and Administrative Expenses in our interests in joint ventures declined by Ps.2 million, from Ps.4 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.2 million in fiscal year 2017.

On the other hand, General and Administrative Expenses from Inter-segment eliminations increased by Ps.7 million, from Ps.45 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.52 million in fiscal year 2017.

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures, General and Administrative Expenses increased by 34.81%, from Ps.270 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.364 million in fiscal year 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses in the Urban Properties and Investments Business at the Operations Center in Argentina rose by 29.67%, from Ps.546 million in fiscal year 2016 to Ps.708 million in fiscal year 2017.

a higher profit of Ps.4,098 million stemming from the fair value measurement of financial assets in fiscal year 2017; offset by

●

a higher loss of Ps.3,786 million in financial interest, net in fiscal year 2017; and

●

a lower profit of Ps.982 million from derivative financial instruments in fiscal year 2017.

Changes in our financial losses, net in fiscal year 2017 were primarily attributable to (i) a Ps.4,308 million increase in gains from fair value measurement of financial assets of our subsidiary IDBD; (ii) a decline of Ps.1,729 million in foreign exchange losses, primarily as a result of the depreciation sustained by the foreign exchange rate vis-a-vis the previous fiscal year; (iii) a Ps.390 million decline in losses stemming from the valuation of financial instruments associated to the acquisition of IDBD; (iv) a Ps.3,979 million increase in interest expense attributable to IDBD; and (v) a Ps.1,439 million decline in gains from foreign currency forward-based contracts.

There was a 10.6% variation in the U.S. Dollar buying rate during fiscal year 2017 (which increased from Ps.15.040 on June 30, 2016 to Ps.16.630 on June 30, 2017) as compared to the previous fiscal year, when the U.S. Dollar quotation had experienced a variation of 65.5% (from Ps.9.088 on June 30, 2015 to Ps.15.040 on June 30, 2016).

Income tax

Our income tax expense fell by Ps.2,971 million, from a loss of Ps.5,833 million in fiscal year 2016 to a loss of Ps.2,862 million in fiscal year 2017. The Company recognizes the income tax expense on the basis of the deferred tax liability method, thus recognizing temporary differences between accounting and tax assets and liabilities measurements.

For purposes of determining the deferred assets and liabilities and according to the legal provisions enacted as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, a tax rate has been applied to the identified temporary differences and tax losses, which is that expected to be in force at the time of their reversion or use.

Profit / (loss) for the Fiscal Year

Due to the above mentioned factors, our profit / (loss) for the fiscal year decreased by Ps.4,090 million (44.9%), from net income of Ps.9,118 million in fiscal year 2016 to net income of Ps.5,028 million in fiscal year 2017. Profit / (loss) for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 is attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders and non-controlling interest, as per the following detail:

●

Profit / (loss) for the fiscal year attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders went from a profit of Ps.5,167 million in fiscal year 2016 to a profit of Ps.1,511 million in fiscal year 2017; and

●

The non-controlling interest in controlled companies went from a profit of Ps.3,951 million in fiscal year 2016 to a profit of Ps.3,517 million in fiscal year 2017, primarily due to the consolidation of our subsidiary IDBD.

Discontinued operations

The results of Israir Open Sky and IDB Tourism operations, the share of profit of Adama and the finance costs associated to the nonrecourse loan, until its sale, and the results from sale of the investment in Adama have been reclassified in the Statements of Income under discontinued operations.

Total revenues rose by 20.5%, from Ps.2,251 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.2,713 million in fiscal year 2016. This was due to the following increases:

●

Ps.137 million in the Crops activity;

●

Ps.24 million in the Cattle activity;

●

Ps.96 million in the Sugarcane activity;

●

Ps.160 million in the Agro-industrial activity;

●

Ps.50 million in the Other Segments and Corporate activity; and

●

Ps.2 million in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity; offset by a decrease of Ps.7 million in the Dairy activity.

In turn, revenues from our interests in joint ventures increased by 130.8% from Ps.26 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.60 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as a consequence of a 121.7% increase in Crops sold to Cresca, from Ps.23 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.51 million in fiscal year 2016.

Similarly, inter-segment revenues rose by 17.8%, from Ps.118 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.139 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as a result of livestock sales during the year to our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas which was reclassified from the Cattle activity to the Agro-industrial activity and to the leases of croplands between our subsidiary Brasilagro and its subsidiaries, which were reclassified from the Crops and Sugarcane activity to the Agricultural Rental and Services activity.

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations, revenues increased by 21.6%, from Ps.2,395 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.2,912 million in fiscal year 2016.

240

Crops

●

an increase of 36.5% in revenues from the production of seeds mainly due to an increase in the prices of crops that took place in fiscal year 2016;

Total revenues from the Urban Properties and Investments Business increased by 30.6%, from Ps.3,401 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.4,442 million in fiscal year 2016. This was mainly due to an increase of Ps.916 million in the Shopping Malls segment, an increase of Ps.25 million in the Offices and Others segment, an increase of Ps.138 million in the Hotels segment, an increase of Ps.1 million in the Financial Operations, Corporate and Others segment, offset by a decline of Ps.28 million and Ps.11 million in the International segment and in the Sales and Development segment, respectively.

In turn, revenues from our interests in joint ventures did not exhibit significant variations when considering fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Our joint venture Nuevo Puerto de Santa Fe S.A. posted an increase in revenues, though offset by a decrease in revenues posted by our joint venture Quality S.A.

Inter-segment revenues rose by 60.0%, from Ps.5 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.8 million during fiscal year 2016, both attributable to the Offices and Others segment.

In addition, revenues from expenses and collective promotion fund rose by 34.6%, from Ps.887 million during fiscal year 2015 (out of which, Ps.806 million are attributed to the Shopping Malls segment) to Ps.1,194 million during fiscal year 2016 (out of which, Ps.1,101 million are attributed to the Shopping Malls segment).

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations, and expenses and collective promotion fund, revenues increased by 28.9%, from Ps.2,547 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.3,284 million in fiscal year 2016.

Operations Center in Argentina

Shopping Malls

Revenues from the Shopping Malls segment increased 35.3%, from Ps.1,778 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.2,406 million in fiscal year 2016. Such variation was mostly attributable to:

●

an increase of Ps.471 million in revenues from fixed and variable rentals as a result of a 34.4% increase in our tenants’ sales, from Ps.21,509 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.28,905 million in fiscal year 2016;

●

an increase of Ps.51 million in revenues from admission fees;

●

an increase of Ps.41 million in parking revenues; and

●

an increase of Ps.36 million in revenues from commissions, among other items.

Offices and Others

Revenues from the Offices and Others segment increased 2.1%, from Ps.333 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.340 million in fiscal year 2016. Such revenues were impacted by the partial sale of investment properties during fiscal year 2016, which resulted in a reduction of the segment total leasable area.

Considering comparable properties in both fiscal years, rental revenues from properties which did not experience a decrease in their leasable area increased by 34.0%, from Ps.200 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 to Ps.268 million during the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2016, mostly as a result of the currency devaluation, whereas rental revenues from properties which leasable area was reduced, went down by 49.5%, from Ps.111 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.56 million in fiscal year 2016.

243

As of June 30, 2016, average occupancy rate of premium offices stood at 97.7% and the average rent was around US$27 per sqm.

Sales and Developments

There are often significant variations in the revenues earned in this segment from one fiscal year to the other. Without considering our joint ventures, revenues from the Sales and Developments segment decreased by 122.2%, from Ps.9 million in fiscal year 2015 to a loss of Ps.2 million in fiscal year 2016. Such reduction was mainly attributable to reduced revenues from the sale of units at Condominios I and II (Ps.7 million).

Hotels

Revenues from our Hotels segment rose by 34.8%, from Ps.396 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.534 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily attributable to an increase of 34.4% in the average room rate of our hotels (measured in Argentine Pesos).

International

Revenues from the International segment decreased by 100% vis-à-vis the Ps.26 million posted during fiscal year 2015, because the Company sold the Madison 183 building during fiscal year 2015.

Financial Operations, Corporate and Others

Revenues from our Financial Operations, Corporate and Others segment did not exhibit significant variations for the periods presented.

COSTS

The Company’s total costs rose by 509.4%, from Ps.3,893 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.23,725 million in fiscal year 2016. This was mainly as result of an increase of 11.8% in the Agricultural business, from Ps.3,411 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.3,814 million in fiscal year 2016 and to the 4,030.9% increase in the Urban Properties and Investments Business, due to costs for Ps.19,252 million from the Operations Center in Israel for the fiscal year 2016; and an increase of 36.7% in the Operations Center in Argentina, from Ps.482 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.659 million in fiscal year 2016.

Total costs rose by 10.3%, from Ps.3,246 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.3,581 million in fiscal year 2016. This was primarily attributable to the following increases:

●

Ps.34 million in the Cattle activity,

●

Ps.2 million in the Dairy activity,

●

Ps.127 million in the Sugarcane activity,

●

Ps.5 million in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity,

●

Ps.182 million in the Agro-industrial activity,

●

Ps.35 million in the Other Segment and Corporate activity; offset by a reduction of Ps.50 million in the Crops activity.

In turn, the cost of our joint ventures experienced a net increase of Ps.46 million, from Ps.47 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.93 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as a consequence of an increase of Ps.38 million in the costs of Cresca’s crops, from Ps.42 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.80 million in fiscal year 2016.

Similarly, inter-segment costs increased by Ps.22 million, from Ps.118 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.140 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily attributable to the cost of Cattle sales during the year to our subsidiary Sociedad Anónima Carnes Pampeanas, which was reclassified from the Cattle activity to the Agro-industrial activity and to the leases of cropland between our subsidiary Brasilagro and its subsidiaries, which are reclassified from the Crops and Sugarcane activities to the Agricultural Rental and Services activity.

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations, costs increased by 11.8%, from Ps.3,411 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.3,814 million in fiscal year 2016.

Crops

Total costs from the Crops activity decreased by 0.6%, from Ps.1,811 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,801 million in fiscal year 2016. The costs from the Crops activity are broken down in the following table:

	Fiscal year 2016	Fiscal year 2015
	In million Pesos
Cost of sales	940	866
Cost of production	861	945
Total Costs	1,801	1,811

Cost of sales in the Crops activity increased by 8.5%, from Ps.866 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.940 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

a decrease of 2.2% in the volume of tons sold as compared to the previous fiscal year;

●

slightly offset by a rise of 11.1% in the average cost per ton of crops sold in fiscal year 2016, from Ps.1,636 in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,817 in fiscal year 2016, due to higher average market prices for crops.

The cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 87.7% in fiscal year 2015 and 81.6% in fiscal year 2016.

The cost of production in the Crops activity fell by 8.9%, from Ps.945 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.861 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

245

●

a reduction of 11.0% in direct production costs during fiscal year 2016 compared to the previous fiscal year, primarily attributable to the smaller quantity of hectares sown vis-a-vis the previous season (19.9%), offset by an increase in the average cost per ton (46.6%).

Cattle

Total costs in the Cattle activity increased by 18.7%, from Ps.225 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.267 million in fiscal year 2016. The following table shows the costs in the Cattle activity:

	Fiscal year 2016	Fiscal year 2015
	In million Pesos
Cost of sales	136	122
Cost of production	131	103
Total Costs	267	225

Cost of sales increased 11.5%, from Ps.122 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.136 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

an increase in the cost per kilogram sold in fiscal year 2016 (19.5%); and

●

a decline of 6.2% in beef sales volumes in fiscal year 2016.

Cost of production in the Cattle activity rose by 27.2%, from Ps.103 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.131 million in fiscal year 2016. The higher cost of production from the Cattle activity in fiscal year 2016 was mainly attributable to:

●

higher payroll expenses;

●

higher feeding costs (34.6% compared to fiscal year 2015) resulting from a higher quantity of head in the feedlot, and an 8% increase in the average cost of feedstuff;

●

an increase in health and insemination costs (42.4% compared to fiscal year 2015), due to better quality of sperm and incremental costs of supplies.

Dairy

Total costs in the Dairy activity increased by 1.5%, from Ps.133 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.135 million in fiscal year 2016. The following table shows the costs in the Dairy activity:

	Fiscal year 2016	Fiscal year 2015
	In million Pesos
Cost of sales	61	68
Cost of production	74	65
Total Costs	135	133

Total costs in the Dairy activity fell by 10.3%, from Ps.68 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.61 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

a decrease of 8.6% in the cost of milk, from Ps.3.5 per liter in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.3.2 per liter in fiscal year 2016;

●

a reduction of 17.7% in the sales volumes of milking cows;

●

a decrease of 8.2% in milk sales volumes;

●

partially offset by an increase of 42.2% in the cost of sale of milking cows, from Ps.10.9 per kg in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.15.5 per kg in fiscal year 2016.

Cost of production in the Dairy activity increased by 13.8%, from Ps.65 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.74 million in fiscal year 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to the impact of increased feeding, payroll and prairie costs. The increase in feeding expenses was mostly attributable to a rise of 30% in prices and an increase of 22% in the consumption volume of second quality milk on the one hand, and to an increase of 5% in the average cost of food, offset by a decline of 2% in consumption volume, on the other, caused by fewer milking cows and a decrease in pellet consumption (37%), which is significantly more expensive, and the incremental consumption of internally produced soybean.

Total costs in the Sugarcane activity rose by 38.2%, from Ps.374 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.517 million in fiscal year 2016. The following table shows a breakdown of costs in the Sugarcane activity:

	Fiscal year 2016	Fiscal year 2015
	In million Pesos
Cost of sales	263	188
Cost of production	254	186
Total Costs	517	374

Cost of sales in the Sugarcane activity rose by 39.9%, from Ps.188 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.263 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

an increase of 295,226 tons in sales of sugarcane in fiscal year 2016 compared to the previous fiscal year, primarily attributable to our subsidiarie Brasilagro; and

●

an increase in the average cost per ton of sugarcane sold in fiscal year 2016, from Ps.204 per ton in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.215 per ton in fiscal year 2016.

The cost of sales as a percentage of sales were 95.3% in fiscal year 2015 and 89.3% in fiscal year 2016.

Cost of production of the Sugarcane activity increased 36.6%, from Ps.186 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.254 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as a result of a higher production volume in fiscal year 2016 compared to the fiscal year 2015.

Total production costs per ton increased by 0.5%, from Ps.221.3 per ton in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.222.4 per ton in fiscal year 2016.

Agricultural Rental and Services

Total costs in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity rose by 33.3%, from Ps.15 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.20 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

an increase of Ps.6 million in feedlot lease and services costs, in Brasilagro and Cresud, respectively;

●

partially offset by a fall of Ps.2 million (42.3%) in irrigation service costs, compared to fiscal year 2015.

Land Transformation and Sales

Total Costs in the Land Transformation and Sales segment remained stable at Ps.9 million in fiscal years 2016 and 2015.

Agro-industrial

Total costs in the Agro-industrial activity rose by 25.2%, from Ps.739 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.925 million in fiscal year 2016, due to an inflationary context that hindered the increase in gross marginal contribution. The reason for this increase is to be found in the increase of costs to acquire cattle and to a lesser extent, in the increase in labor.

Other Segments and Corporate

Total costs in Other Segments and Corporate activity rose by 33.3%, from Ps.105 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.140 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily as a result of increased costs in the brokerage business related to commodity trading transactions through FyO, and increased costs for consignment, by 71.4% and 97.2%, respectively.

Costs of sales in our Urban Properties and Investments Business rose by 35.0%, from Ps.1,369 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,848 million in fiscal year 2016. This was mainly due to an increase of Ps.381 million in the Shopping Malls segment, an increase of Ps.22 million in the Offices and Others segment, an increase of Ps.2 million in the Sales and Developments segment, an increase of Ps.83 million in the Hotels segment; offset by a decrease of Ps.9 million in the International segment; whilst the Financial Operations, Corporate and Others segments did not experience significant variations.

In turn, the costs corresponding to expenses and collective promotion fund increased by 34.0%, from Ps.901 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,207 million in fiscal year 2016 mainly due to the expenses and collective promotion fund from the Shopping Malls, which rose by 35.7%, from Ps.820 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,113 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of: (i) an increase in advertising expenses of Ps.111.8 million, (ii) an increased charge for salaries and wages, social security contributions and other payroll expenses amounting to Ps.103.1 million; (iii) an increase in maintenance, security, cleaning, repair and similar expenses amounting to Ps.100.8 million (mainly stemming from increases in security and cleaning services and in the rates for public utilities), (iv) an increase in taxes, rates and contributions and other expenses amounting to Ps.25.5 million and (v) an increase in other expenses for Ps.42.0 million (primarily due to the absorption of the deficit in expenses and collective promotion fund). In addition, the variation was due to: an increase in the common maintenance expenses incurred by the Offices and Others segment, which rose by Ps.54.1 million, from Ps.28.3 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.82.4 million during fiscal year 2016, primarily attributable to the acquisition of new buildings (maintenance, cleaning and lease expenses and common maintenance fees and others for Ps.36.1 million, expenses associated to salaries and wages and social security contributions for Ps.10.8 million and taxes, rates and contributions and utilities for Ps.8.9 million).

In addition, costs from our joint ventures experienced a net increase of 20.0%, from Ps.10 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.12 million in fiscal year 2016.

248

Finally, costs from inter-segment operations rose by 50.0%, from Ps.4 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.6 million in fiscal year 2016.

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures and inter-segment eliminations, costs increased by 36.7%, from Ps.482 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.659 million in fiscal year 2016.

Operation Center in Argentina

Shopping Malls

Costs in the Shopping Malls segment increased by 56.1%, from Ps.164 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.256 million in fiscal year 2016.

Sales and Developments

Costs attributable to this segment often vary significantly period over period, given that some of the sales consummated by the Company are non-recurrent. Without considering our joint ventures, costs associated to our Sales and Developments segment rose by 15.4%, from Ps.13 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.15 million in fiscal year 2016.

Costs in the Sales and Developments segment, measured as a percentage of the revenues derived from this segment, rose from 135.7% during fiscal year 2015 to 666.7% in fiscal year 2016.

Hotels

Costs in the Hotels segment increased by 29.7%, from Ps.279 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.362 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

an increase of Ps.19 million in maintenance and repair expenses; and

●

increased charges for Ps.7 million and Ps.5 million in fees for services and food, beverages and other hotel expenses, respectively.

Crops

Income from production in the Crops activity rose by 16.4%, from Ps.910 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.1,059 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

a decrease of 38.9% in total production volume, from 404,259 tons in fiscal year 2015 down to 246,965 tons in fiscal year 2016;

●

partially offset by an increase of 32.9% in the average price for the production of crops; and

●

an increase of 654.1% in expected revenues.

As of June 30, 2016, the harvested area was 72.3% of our total sown area, compared to 80.4% as of June 30, 2015.

The following table shows the number of tons produced and total production income as of June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Estimated results from the valuation of our crops in progress at fair value rose by 653.1%, from Ps.49 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.369 million in fiscal year 2016, due to the increase of 722.4% in corn crops.

Cattle

Income from production in the Cattle activity rose by 52.1%, from Ps.167 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.254 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

a 19.3% increase in the average price per kilogram produced, from Ps.14.8 per kg in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.17.6 per kg in fiscal year 2016;

●

a slight decrease of 1.3% in meet production volume, from 7,812 tons in fiscal year 2015 to 7,713 tons in fiscal year 2016;

●

offset by an increase of 137.2% in holding results.

The calving rate decreased by 12.1%, whereas the death rate decreased by 4.4% during fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015.

251

Dairy

Income from production in the Dairy activity decreased by 1.3%, from Ps.75 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.74 million in fiscal year 2016. This decrease was mainly due to:

●

the result from holding of milking cows, which increased by 47.2%, from a gain of Ps.8.9 million in fiscal year 2015 to a gain of Ps.13.1 million in fiscal year 2016, as the inflationary context led to a significant rise in prices;

●

a decrease of 7.9% in the average price of milk, from Ps.3.42 per liter in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.3.15 per liter in fiscal year 2016;

●

a decrease of 6.2% in the production of milking cows, offset by an increase of 78.6% in average price; and

●

a decline of 6.9% in milk production volume, from 17.5 million liters in fiscal year 2015 to 16.3 million liters in fiscal year 2016. This reduction in production volume was mainly due to a lower average number of milking cows per day, from 2,189 milking cows per day in fiscal year 2015 to 1,788 milking cows per day in fiscal year 2016, partially offset by an increase of 10.7% in the efficiency level of average daily milk production per cow, from 21.5 liters per cow in fiscal year 2015 to 23.8 liters per cow in fiscal year 2016.

Sugarcane

Income from production in the Sugarcane activity rose by 41.7%, from Ps.218 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.309 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly as consequence of:

●

an increase of 36.6% in total production volume, from 836,345 tons in fiscal year 2015 to 1,142,620 tons in fiscal year 2016; and

●

an increase of 13.1% in the average price of sugarcane production, which went from Ps.208.6 per ton in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.236.0 per ton in fiscal year 2016.

The following table shows the actual tons produced and revenues as of June 30, 2016 and 2015:

Estimated results from the valuation of our sugarcane crops in progress at fair value

Estimated results from the valuation of our sugarcane crops in progress at fair value declined from a gain of Ps.32.7 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.22 million in fiscal year 2016, mainly generated by Brasilagro due to changes in the main indicators, including area, yield, price and cost.

Income from changes in the net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest rose significantly, from a loss of Ps.34 million in fiscal year 2015 to a gain of Ps.208 million in fiscal year 2016.

In Argentina, such increase was mainly attributable to a widespread increase in prices by late December caused by the suppression/reduction of withholdings on the agricultural sector, the major devaluation determined by the new government and the current free floating exchange rate market.

There were neither interests in joint ventures nor inter-segment eliminations in revenues from changes in the net realizable value of agricultural products after harvest.

Gross profit

As result of the above mentioned factors, the Company’s gross profit increased by 380.2%, from Ps.2,385 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.11,452 million in fiscal year 2016. This was primarily attributable to:

●

●

a profit of Ps.7,825 million attributable to the Operations Center in Israel at the Urban Properties and Investments Business; and

The net gain from fair value adjustment of investment properties of the Company rose by 336.7%, from Ps.4,103 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.17,918 million in fiscal year 2016. This was due to a decline of Ps.107 million in the Agricultural Business and to an increase of Ps.13,922 million in the Urban Properties and Investments Business. Within the Urban Properties and Investments Business, the variation was attributable to the Operations Center in Israel for a loss of Ps.271 million, and to the Operations Center in Argentina for a gain of Ps.14,193 million.

254

Agricultural Business

The decline was mostly attributable to Brazil, since in fiscal year 2015 there were 7,700 leased hectares in Jatoba and 3,900 leased hectares in Preferencia, while no farmlands were leased in 2016. Such decline was partially offset by an increase in Argentina, resulting from the significant fluctuation in the exchange rate, in spite of the lower number of leased hectares, mostly in La Esmeralda (1,100 hectares).

The net gain from fair value adjustment of our combined portfolio of investment properties for fiscal year 2016 was Ps.17,788 million (Ps.16,049 million attributable to the Shopping Malls segment; Ps.1,013 million to the Offices and Others segment; and Ps.726 million to the Sales and Developments segment). The significant increase in valuation in Argentine Pesos of our properties was mainly attributable to the following factors: (i) a decline of 364 basis points in the discount rate used under the discounted cash flow valuation, methodology that increases the valuation of investment properties. This decline in the discount rate was mostly due to certain macroeconomic improvements and to a lower cost of capital in Argentina, following the presidential elections in October 2015 and the agreement reached with “holdout” bondholders in April 2016; and (ii) since the end of fiscal year 2015 through the end of fiscal year 2016, the Argentine Peso depreciated by more than 65% in respect of the US dollar (from Ps.9.04 to Ps.14.99 per US dollar) and the valuation of our investment properties are stated in US dollars since most operations in the Argentine real estate market are consummated in that currency.

We held our portfolio of shopping malls during the fiscal years 2016 and 2015. In general terms, valuation of our shopping malls increased by 155.5% in fiscal year 2016, mainly as a consequence of an increase in rental prices and the impact of the Argentine peso depreciation.

Valuation of our office buildings increased by 6.0% in fiscal year 2016 compared to the previous year, mainly as consequence of the impact of depreciation of the local currency and the increase in lease prices. In addition, in fiscal year 2016 we posted a gain of Ps.908 million from the sale of offices compared to Ps.645 million in fiscal year 2015.

Gain/(loss) from disposal of farmlands

Gain from disposal of farmlands derived by the Land Transformation and Sales segment fell by 100.4%, from a gain of Ps.550 million in fiscal year 2015 to a loss of Ps.2 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily as a result of the absence of sales in fiscal year 2016 and the following transactions in the previous fiscal year:

General and administrative expenses from the Agricultural Business rose by 34.1%, from Ps.232 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.311 million in fiscal year 2016. This was due to the following increases: Ps.7 million in the Cattle activity, Ps.1 million in the Dairy activity, Ps.14 million in the Sugarcane activity, Ps.13 million in the Agro-industrial activity, Ps.2 million in the Agricultural Rental and Services activity, and Ps.45 million in the Other Segments and Corporate activity, offset by a decline of Ps.2 million in the Crops activity and a decrease of Ps.1 million in the Land Transformation and Sales segment.

The causes for the variation were:

●

The variation in Cresud’s administrative expenses is mostly due to the variation in wages, salaries and social security contributions due to the allowance for bonuses payable for fiscal year 2016. In addition, the reason for the variation is to be found also in the increases exhibited by the fees of the accountants associated to the consolidation of IDBD as well as the increase in legal fees associated to the Class Action.

●

An increase in the general and administrative expenses of the subsidiary EEASA primarily attributable to the increases in the services hired for the project to implement the SAP system, consultancy fees and SOX standard testing and salary adjustments due to collective bargaining agreements.

●

An increase in expenses as result of the inflationary context.

In turn, general and administrative expenses from our joint ventures increased Ps.1 million, from Ps.3 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.4 million in fiscal year 2016.

Inter-segment general and administrative expenses rose by 95.7%, from Ps.23 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.45 million during fiscal year 2016, both attributable to Other Segments and Corporate.

Hence, according to business segment reporting and considering all our joint ventures, general and administrative expenses increased by 27.4%, from Ps.212 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.270 million in fiscal year 2016.

The net loss stemming from Other operating results, net associated to our Sales and Developments segment declined by Ps.21 million, from a loss of Ps.13 million in fiscal year 2015 to a loss of Ps.34 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily as a consequence of the profit registered during fiscal year 2015 for the sale of our shareholding in Bitania for Ps.16 million, among other items.

International

Other operating results, net in this segment exhibited a decrease by Ps.123 million in net gain, from Ps.215 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.92 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily due to a reduction in income caused by the partial reversal of accumulated gains/(losses) from conversion. As of June 30, 2016, this reflects primarily the reversal of the gains/(losses) for conversion before the IDBD business combination whilst as of June 30, 2015, this reflects the reversal of the reserve for conversion generated at Rigby and due to the partial repayment of the company’s principal.

Financial Operations, Corporate and Others

Management fees

Management fees amounted to Ps.534 million and Ps.145 million in fiscal year 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Share of loss of associates and joint venture increased Ps.1,132 million, from a loss of Ps.859 million in fiscal year 2015 to a profit of Ps.273 million in fiscal year 2016. Such increase was primarily attributable to:

●

a profit of Ps.123 million from the Operations Center in Israel; and a profit by Ps.987 million from the Operations Center in Argentina, mainly due to lower losses of investments from the International segment in fiscal year 2016 compared to 2015, partially offset by gains from the Financial Operations, Corporate and Others segment in both years,

●

in addition, share of profit/(loss) of joint ventures, particularly, from NPSF (Shopping Malls), Quality Invest (Offices) and Cyrsa. Puerto Retiro and Baicom Networks (Sales and Developments) experienced a 46.1% variation, from Ps.269 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps.393 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily as result of a decline in income from our joint venture Cyrsa S.A; and

●

an increase of profit by Ps.22 million from the Agricultural Business, mainly attributable to revenues derived from the investment in Agro-Uranga (within the Crops activity).

267

Financial results, net

We incurred a higher financial loss, net by Ps.4,834 million, from a loss of Ps.1,290 million in fiscal year 2015 to a loss of Ps.6,124 million in fiscal year 2016. This was primarily attributable to:

●

a higher loss of Ps.2,721 million in foreign exchange, net in fiscal year 2016;

●

a higher loss of Ps.1,264 million in net financial interest recorded in fiscal year 2016;

●

a higher loss of Ps.1,422 million stemming from the fair value measurement of financial assets in fiscal year 2016;

●

slightly offset by gains of Ps.1,173 million stemming from derivative financial instruments in fiscal year 2016.

Our financial losses, net in fiscal year 2016 were primarily attributable to (i) an increase in financial losses stemming from the consolidation of IDBD for Ps.3,037 million; (ii) a Ps.3,249 million loss stemming from foreign exchange, primarily as a result of the depreciation sustained by the foreign exchange rate, without IDBD’s results; (iii) a Ps.1,246 million loss stemming from interest accrued on debt financing, mainly due to increased indebtedness and higher interest rates, without IDBD’s results; (iv) a gain of Ps.662 million primarily attributable to the fair value measurement of financial assets, without IDBD’s results; and (v) a gain of Ps.1,138 million attributable to derivative financial instruments (except commodities), whitout IDBD’s results.

There was a 65.5% variation in the U.S. dollar buying rate during fiscal year 2016 (which increased from Ps.9.088 on June 30, 2015 to Ps.15.040 on June 30, 2016) as compared to the previous fiscal year, when the U.S. dollar quotation had experienced a less significant variation of 11.7% (from Ps.8.133 on June 30, 2014 to Ps.9.088 on June 30, 2015).

Income tax

Our income tax expense increased Ps.4,437 million, from a loss of Ps.1,396 million in fiscal year 2015 to a loss of Ps.5,833 million in fiscal year 2016. The Company recognizes the income tax expense on the basis of the deferred tax liability method, thus recognizing temporary differences between accounting and tax assets and liabilities measurements.

For purposes of determining the deferred assets and liabilities and according to the legal provisions enacted as of the date of issuance of the financial statements for fiscal year 2016, a tax rate has been applied to the identified temporary differences and tax losses, which is that expected to be in force at the time of their reversion or use.

Profit for the Fiscal Year

Due to the above mentioned factors, our profit for the fiscal year increased by Ps.6,875 million (306.5%), from a net profit of Ps.2,243 million in fiscal year 2015 to a net profit of Ps.9,118 million in fiscal year 2016. Profit for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 is attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders and non-controlling interest, as per the following detail:

●

Profit for the fiscal year attributable to the controlling company’s shareholders went from a profit of Ps.954 million in fiscal year 2015 to a profit of Ps.5,167 million in fiscal year 2016; and

●

The non-controlling interest in controlled companies went from a profit of Ps. 1,289 million in fiscal year 2015 to a profit of Ps. 3,951 million in fiscal year 2016, primarily due to the consolidation of our subsidiary IDBD.

As of June 30, 2017, in our Agricultural business, we had negative working capital of Ps.1,701 million (calculated as current assets less current liabilities as of such date), whose treatment is being considered by the Board of Directors and the respective Management.

As of June 30, 2017, in our Urban Properties and Investments Business, our Operation Center in Argentina had positive working capital of Ps.3,872 million and our Operations Center in Israel had positive working capital of Ps.14,998 million, resulting in a consolidated positive working capital of Ps.18,870 million (calculated as current assets less current liabilities as of such date.

At the same date, our Agricultural Business had cash and cash equivalents of Ps.509 million while our Operations Center in Argentina had cash and cash equivalents of Ps.2,041 million while our Operations Center in Israel had cash and cash equivalents of Ps.22,813 million, totaling consolidated cash and cash equivalents for Ps.25,363 million.

IDBD is subject to certain restrictions and financial covenants in relation to its financial debt, including its notes and loans from banks and financial institutions. As concerns IDBD’s financial position, flow of funds and capacity to discharge its financial debt commitments, it should be noted that:

●

From September 2016, following the sale of Adama and the increased value recorded by its subsidiaries in the market, IDBD believes it will be able to secure financing in the market or refinance its debts. In this regard, IDBD has recently completed successful placements of debt. Moreover, it made early repayments of its financial debt and has managed to renegotiate the financial restrictions related to its debt.

●

DIC declared dividends and IDBD received approximately NIS 271 million (equivalent to approximately Ps.1,219 million), net of the exercise of warrants.

●

In February 2017, Standard & Poor’s Maalot (S&P Maalot) upgraded the rating of IDBD’s notes from CCC to BB. Subsequently, in July 2017, S&P Maalot upgraded IDBD’s rating again to BBB with a stable outlook.

●

IDBD sold part of its interest in Clal and entered into a swap agreement for its future sale.

For the reasons explained above, IDBD understands that it has sufficient resources to continue doing business for at least 12 months after the date of these consolidated financial statements.

269

IDBD’s Board of Directors has cash flow projections for 24 months until June 30, 2019 that assume that IDBD will receive, cash from the realization of private investments directly held by IDBD. Therefore, IDBD expects to satisfy all its obligations until the end of the second quarter of 2019. Although the materialization of these plans does not depend entirely on factors within its control, IDBD estimates that it will be successful in the consummation of these or other plans.

Based on the foregoing, IDBD’s management believes that at present there are no material uncertainties regarding its capacity to operate as a going concern, in light of IDBD’s current financial position, as it is capable of satisfying its financial commitments as and when due, and its ability to carry its business plan into execution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDBD expects to discharge financial liabilities for NIS 1,413 million (equivalent to approximately Ps.6,641 million as of the date of these consolidated financial statements) in November 2019. Payment of these liabilities could be affected by factors beyond IDBD’s control, including IDBD’s capacity to implement its plan to sell its interest in Clal, taking into account the mechanism determined by the Commissioner, the requirements of the Concentration Law, and IDBD’s capacity to deal with the implications of the Concentration Law and to satisfy the specific requirements imposed on it regarding the control of companies through a pyramidal structure.

IDBD expects that the consideration to be received for the sale of Clal, according to the mechanism imposed by the Commissioner (i.e., the sale in tranches of 5% each every four months), to the extent it is implemented, will be low or even significantly low as compared to a sale in bulk of Clal’s controlling stake. However, the Company believes that, even if it continued selling Clal’s shares according to the Commissioner’s mechanism, it would have additional cash flow available to satisfy its commitments in November 2019. In the opinion of IDBD’s management, IDBD will be able to address its commitments in due time and continue doing business.

It should be noted that the financial position of IDBD any and its 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.

On March 3, 2016, IRSA and IRSA CP announced that they would launch offers to buy in cash: (i) 11.50% Class II Notes due 2020 and issued by IRSA for principal amount up to US$76.5 million, (ii) any and 8.50% Class 1 Notes due 2017 and issued by IRSA, and (iii) any and 7.875% Class 1 Notes notes due 2017 and issued by IRSA CP.

On March 23, 2016, IRSA CP issued Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$360 million under its Global Notes Program. Class II Notes accrue interest semi-annually, at an annual fixed rate of 8.75% and mature on March 23, 2023. The issue price was 98.722% of nominal value.

IRSA CP’s Notes due 2023 are subject to certain covenants, events of default and limitations, such as the limitation on incurrence of additional indebtedness, limitation on restricted payments, limitation on transactions with affiliates, and limitation on merger, consolidation and sale of all or substantially all assets.

To incur additional indebtedness, IRSA CP is required to meet a minimum 2.00 to 1.00 Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. The Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as Consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization and other consolidated non-cash charges.

The Class II Notes contain financial covenants limiting IRSA CP’s ability to declare or pay dividends in cash or in kind, unless the following conditions are met at the time of payment:

no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

IRSA CP may incur at least US$1.00 worth of additional debt pursuant to the “Restriction on Additional Indebtedness”;

and the aggregate amount of such dividend exceeds the sum of:

100% of cumulative EBITDA for the period (treated as one accounting period) from July 1, 2015 through the last day of the last fiscal quarter ended prior to the date of such Restricted Payment minus an amount equal to 150% of consolidated interest expense for such period; and

ii.

any reductions of Indebtedness of IRSA on a consolidated bais after the Issue Date any reductions of Indebtedness of after the Issue Date exchanged for to Capital Stock of the IRSA or its Subsidiaries.

On April 7, 2016, the Meeting of IRSA’s Notes holders by majority vote approved the proposed amendments to IRSA’s 2017 Trust Indenture, which included basically the elimination of all restrictive covenants on such class effective as of April 8, 2016.

During the months of March, April and May of 2016, the Company acquired all IRSA CP’s 7.875% Notes Class I due 2017 for a total amount US$120 million and US$75.4 million of IRSA Notes. On October 11, 2016 the Company acquired the remaining US$74.6 million of IRSA’s 8.50% Notes due 2017, so the following notes remains outstanding:

●

IRSA’s Notes Class II at 11.50% maturing in 2020 US$71.4 million.

Such payments were accounted for as a cancellation of debt.

274

In relation to financial covenants under 11.50% Notes due in 2020 issued by IRSA, the Meeting of Noteholders held on March 23, 2016 approved:

to modify the covenant on Limitation on Restricted Payments, so that the original covenant was replaced so as to take into consideration IRSA’s capability to make any restricted payment provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and persisted, and (b) IRSA may incur at least US$1.00 of additional debt pursuant to the Limitation on Additional Indebtedness; and

ii.

the exclusion of IDBD or any of its subsidiaries for purposes of the definition of “Subsidiary” or any of the definitions or commitments under the Trust Indenture of Notes due in 2020 and issued by IRSA (regardless of whether the financial statements of any of these companies has any time been consolidated into IRSA’s financial statements).

iii.

a Supplementary Trust Indenture reflecting all the amendments approved, entered into with the Bank of New York Mellon on March 28, 2016.

On September 8, 2016, IRSA issued Series VII and VIII Notes for an aggregate amount of US$210 million:

Series VII Notes for a principal amount of Ps.384.2 million at BADLAR plus 299 bps due on September 9, 2019.

Series VIII Notes for a principal amount of US$184.5 million at a fixed rate of 7% due on September 9, 2019.

The proceeds were mainly used to repay preexisting debt.

On September 12, 2017, IRSA CP issued the Series IV Notes, for US$140,000,000, bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.00%, which matures on September 14, 2019. For more information, please see “Recent developments - Issue of Series IV Notes”

C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENTS, PATENTS AND LICENSES

Investments in technology, in our agricultural business, amounted to Ps.48, Ps.10 and Ps.10 million for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 respectively. Our total technology investments aimed to increase the productivity of purchased land have amounted to Ps.503 million since fiscal year 1995.

We reach our objectives within this area through the implementation of domestic and international technological development projects focusing mainly on:

●	Quality and productivity improvement.
●	Increase in appreciation value of land through the development of marginal areas.
●	Increase in the quality of food in order to achieve global food safety standards. We aim to implement and perform according to official and private quality protocols that allow us to comply with the requirements of our present and future clients. Regarding official regulations, in 2003 we implemented the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria law on animal identificationfor livestock in six farms. Simultaneously, in 2004 we implemented Global GAP Protocols (formerly EurepGap) with the objective of complying with European Union food safety standards and as a mean for continuous improvement of the internal management and system production of our farms. Our challenge is to achieve global quality standards.
●	Certification of suitable quality standards, since in recent years worldwide agriculture has evolved towards more efficient and sustainable schemes in terms of environmental and financial standpoints, where the innocuousness and quality of the production systems is becoming increasingly important. In this context, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) have emerged, as a set of practices seeking to ensure the innocuousness of agricultural products, the protection of the environment, the workers’ safety and well-being, and agricultural health, with a view to improving conventional production methods. Certification of such standards allows to demonstrate the application of Good Agricultural Practices to production systems and ensures product traceability, allowing to impose stricter controls to verify the enforcement of the applicable laws.
●	The implementation of a system of control and assessment of agricultural tasks for analyzing and improving efficiency in the use of agricultural machinery hired. For each of the tasks, a minimum standard to be fulfilled by contractors was set, which has led to do an improvement in the plant stand upon sowing, a better use of supplies and lower harvesting losses.

D. TREND INFORMATION

International Macroeconomic Outlook

As reported in the IMF’s “World Economic Outlook,” global GDP expanded by 3.1% in 2016, slightly below the projections mainly as a result of a strong decline in activity during the last quarter in the year. World growth is expected to reach 3.5% in 2017 and 3.6% in 2018. In 2017 and 2018, growth in advanced economies is expected to remain steady at about 2%, driven by the growth in the United States of 2.3%, and in the Euro area, of 1.7%.

Emerging economies continue facing challenges as regards the inflow of foreign capital. Countries which are more flexible in terms of foreign exchange responded better to the global flow of capital than in previous decelerations.

The IMF’s Primary Commodities Price Index increased by 15 percent between August 2016 and February 2017. Mainly, oil exhibited a sustained negative trend until reaching a historical low in February 2016, and it is expected to growth in a percentage close to 28.9%. Soybean prices have remained broadly unchanged on account of continued strength in animal protein demand countering favorable supply conditions.

With the uptick in commodity prices, a broadbased increase in headline inflation rates is projected in both advanced and emerging market and developing economies. In nearly all advanced economies, inflation rates are expected to be higher in 2017 than in 2016. For the advanced group as a whole, inflation is forecast to be 2.0 percent in 2017, up from 0.8 percent in 2016, and to stabilize at about that level over the next few years. Inflation in emerging market and developing economies (excluding Argentina and Venezuela) is projected to rise to 4.7 percent in 2017 from 4.4 percent last year, mostly reflecting higher commodity prices.

Argentine macroeconomic context

On April, 2017, IMF published its growth projection for 2017 and 2018 for 2.2% and 2.3%, increase of the GDP, respectively. This projection was due to stronger consumption and public investment, and reflects the gradual rebound of private investment and exports.

Shopping mall and supermarket sales reached a total Ps.5,249.6 million in June 2017, which represents a 11.3% increase as compared to the same period last year. Accumulated sales for the first six months of the year totaled Ps.26,351 million, representing a 12.8% increase as compared to the same period last year.

The INDEC reports that, as of June 2017, industrial activity in Argentina increased by 6.6% as compared to the same month in 2016. Textile industry accumulated a 4.0% decline during the first six months of the year as compared to the same period last year.

Regarding the balance of payments, in the first quarter of 2017 the current account deficit reached US$6,871 million, with US$3,715 million allocated to the goods and services trade balance, and US$3,676 million to the net primary income, and US$520 million to the net secondary income.

During the first quarter of 2017, the financial account showed net income of US$6,556 million, accentuating the net indebtedness of same quarter of the previous year, for which US $ 4,872 million were estimated. As a result of the Balance transactions, the stock of international reserves increased by US$11,535 million during the first quarter of 2017.

Total gross external debt stock at the end of March 2017 is estimated at US$204,509 million, with an increase of US $ 16,293 million, 8.7% compared to the previous quarter and US $ 28,237 million, 16.0% compared to March 2016. 62.8% of the debt corresponds to the Government; 6.6% to the BCRA; 16.6% to non-financial corporations and households, 11.1% to direct investment between related companies, 2.2% to deposit-taking companies and 0.8% to other financial companies. The financial sector debt excluding the Central Bank increased by US$493 million during the first quarter of 2017, reaching a total of US$4,453 million.

In local financial markets, the Private Badlar rate in Pesos ranged from 18% to 27% in the period from July 2016 to June 2017, averaging 20% in June 2017 against 29% in June 2016. As of June 30, 2016, the seller exchange rate was of Ps.16.63 pesos per US$1.00. As of June 30, 2017, Argentina’s country risk decreased by 86 basis points in year-on-year terms, maintaining a high spread vis-à-vis the rest of the countries in the region. The debt premium paid by Argentina was at 432 basis points in June 2017, compared to the 289 basis points paid by Brazil and 193 basis points paid by Mexico.

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.

During the 2016/2017 crop season, soybean production was over 58 million tons, an increase of 2% as compared to the previous season.

Corn production reached 41 million tons, 41% higher than in the previous year.

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 fully eliminated, whereas withholding taxes on soybean have been lowered by 5% (to 30% down from 35%).

Cattle

As reported by SENASA, with an aggregate stock of 53,353,787 heads as of March 31, 2017, the cattle stock has increased by 1.4% as compared to the same period of the previous year. For the fourth year in a row, the cattle stock surpassed 51 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 58.4 kilograms per year on average for the first quarter of 2017, accounting for a year-on-year increase of 3.5%. Domestic consumption accounts for 92.6% of production, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.07%.

Milk Sector

The United States Department of Agriculture projects that milk production in Argentina for 2017 will be 10.7 million tons, lower than in the previous year. However, farmers expect to increase production, as prices have risen 59% as compared to the previous year. Yet, production costs continue to pose challenges, as many farmers operate at negative margins due to the high inflation rates.

The challenge faced by the industry scenario, coupled with unfavorable weather conditions in the sector would imply that the most efficient producers will remain in business, causing production per cow to increase.

Evolution of Shopping Malls in Argentina

At June 2017, the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) showed a 1.2% decline as compared to June 2016, and a 23.4% decrease as compared to June 2015. Sales in Shopping Mall Properties in May 2017 reached a total amount of Ps.4,572 million, which represented a 12.3% increase compared to the same month in 2016. Accumulated sales for the first five months of the year totaled Ps.21,101 million and reached a 13.2% percent variation compared to the same period the previous year.

Evolution of Offices in Argentina

According to Colliers International, as of March 2017, the A+ and A office inventory increased as compared to 2016, at 1,757,659 sqm. In terms of rental availability, there was a 0.3% increase in the vacancy rate to 4.5% during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period the previous year. These values indicate that the market is healthy in terms of its operations, allowing an optimum level of supply with balanced values. According to the market segments, class A properties show a vacancy rate of 8.6% for the entire stock, while A+ properties buildings show a vacancy rate of 4.5%.

Compared to the previous quarter, a 3.3% increase was recorded (from US$24.3 per square meter to US$25.1 per square meter). Within this slight increase there was a 0.3% decrease in rental prices for A+ properties (US$28.8 per square meter in the first quarter of 2017 against US$28.7 per square meter in the fourth quarter of 2016) and a 1.2% decrease in rental prices for A properties (US$23.6 per square meter in the first quarter of 2017 against US$23.3 per square meter in the fourth quarter).

277

Evolution of the Hotel industry in Argentina

According to the Hotel Vacancy Survey (EOH) prepared by INDEC, at May 2017, stays at hotel and parahotel establishments were estimated at 2.8 million, 10.5% higher than the same month the previous year. Stays by resident and nonresident travelers increased by 10.3% and 11.3%, respectively. Total travelers who stayed at hotels during May were 1.3 million, a 9.9% increase compared to the same month the previous year. The number of resident and nonresident travelers rose by 10.0% and 9.6%, respectively. The 1.1 million resident travelers represented 81.0% of the total number of travelers who stayed at hotels. The Room Occupancy Rate in April was 35.3%, showing a slight decline compared to the same month the previous year. Moreover, the Bed Occupancy Rate for the same period was 25.2%, which represents a slight decrease compared to May 2016.

Israeli macroeconomic context

The year 2016 was characterized by improvement in the economic parameters in Israel, alongside an increase in growth to a level of approximately 4.0% (as compared with approximately 2.5% in 2015), and very low unemployment of approximately 4.3% (as compared with approximately 5.3% in 2015). Growth per capita amounted in 2016 to approximately 2.3%. At the end of December 2016, the Bank of Israel updated the macro-economic forecast, according to which the expected growth in 2017 and in 2018 is expected to amount to approximately 3.2% and 3.1%, respectively. Additionally, the Bank of Israel predicts a continued low unemployment rate of approximately 4.6%. Israel is significantly affected by developments in the global economy. Real global activity continued to be moderate in 2016. Property & Building Corporation estimates that its financial stability and the status of its properties, cash balances and significant operating cash flows which it generates will allow it to deal adequately with the possible continuation of the economic crisis, and to continue financing its activities and service its liabilities.

The year 2016 was characterized by continued stability in the revenue-generating real estate branch, which is reflected both on the level of demand and on the level of rental prices and occupancy rates. During the reporting period, demand for office, commercial, industry and logistics areas was evident in most operating areas of Property & Building in Israel, which were reflected in the stability of prices and maintenance of a high occupancy rate of approximately 97%.

In 2016, stability was apparent in the demand for residential apartments in Israel, although in the months October to December of 2016, relatively low numbers of transactions were recorded, in light of the decrease in acquisitions on the part of investors. In 2016, approximately 29,000 new apartments were sold (through private and public initiative), a decrease of approximately 5% relative to 2015. 2015, a year in which approximately 31,000 units were sold, was a record year in terms of apartment sales in the market, and the level of sales in 2016 is still higher than the level in the years 2011-2014. In 2016, an increase was apparent in the mortgage interest rate, which amounted to approximately 3.8% per year (CPI-linked) at the end of 2016, as compared with approximately 2.6% at the end of 2015. The inventory of new apartments in the market (through private and public initiative) amounted, in November 2016, to approximately 31,000 residential units, as compared with approximately 28,000 residential units at the end of 2015.

According to the OECD, for the year ended at December 31, 2015, Israel’s growth reached 2.5%. Israel’s economic growth is projected to remain at 2.5% in 2016, before rising to 3% in 2017.

Since March 2015, the Bank of Israel has kept interest rates at 0.10% and has continued with its policy to intervene in the currency market to support economic policies. For both July and August 2016, the Monetary Committee also decided to leave the interest rate at the same level. Similar to the announcements of the interest rate decisions for November and December of 2015, all announcements in the first half of 2016 included guidance that monetary policy is expected to remain accommodative for a considerable time.

Since March 2015, the Bank of Israel has pursued a policy to intervene in the currency market. It continued to purchase foreign currency, purchasing US$4 billion, about US$0.9 billion of which were purchased as part of the program intended to offset the effects of natural gas production on the exchange rate. The rest were purchased as part of a program designed to moderate excessive fluctuations in the exchange rate.

During the twelve months ending June 30, 2016, the CPI in Israel declined by 0.8%. The energy component continued to contribute to the decline of the CPI, as a result of the sharp decline in global oil prices, even though this trend reversed itself during the first half of the year.

During the first half of 2016, the shekel remained stable in terms of the nominal effective exchange rate (the average in June relative to the average in December), and relative to the U.S. dollar. Relative to the euro, the shekel appreciated by about 3%. Various models of the equilibrium exchange rate indicate that the shekel may be overvalued.

Activity in the housing market remained robust during the reviewed period: Home prices continued to increase, and the volumes of transactions and of new mortgages originated remain high. At the beginning of the first half of 2016, the Research Department presented a forecast in which it projected that inflation would return to within the target range at the beginning of 2017, and that the Bank of Israel interest rate would increase gradually starting in the last quarter of 2016.

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

B. COMPENSATION

Compensation of directors

Under the Argentine Law, if the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors is not established in the by-laws of the Company, it should be determined by the shareholders’ meeting. The maximum amount of total compensation to the members of the Board of Directors, including compensation for technical or administrative permanent activities, cannot exceed 25% of the earnings of the Company. That amount should be limited to 5% when there is no distribution of dividends to shareholders and will be increased proportionally to the distribution, in accordance with the formulas and scales set forth under the CNV Rules. When one or more directors perform special commissions or technical or administrative activities, and there are no earnings to distribute or they are reduced, the shareholding meeting shall approve compensation in excess of the above metioned limits.

The compensation of our directors for each fiscal year is determined pursuant to Argentine law, and taking into consideration whether the directors performed technical or administrative activities and our fiscal year’s results. Once the amount is determined, it is considered at the shareholders’ meeting.

At our shareholders’ meeting held on October 31, 2016, a compensation for an aggregate amount of Ps.18,985,218 was approved for all of our directors for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Compensation of Supervisory Committee

The total and aggregate compensation paid to our senior management of the Operations Center in Argentina and the Agricultural Business for the fiscal year 2017, was Ps.6,600,453.

Compensation of the Audit Committee

The members of our Audit Committee do not receive any additional compensation other than that received for their services as members of our board of directors.

283

Capitalization Program for our executive staff

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company developed the design of a capitalization program for its executive staff consisting in contributions made by both the employees and the Company.

Such program is intended for certain employees selected by the Company that it wishes to retain by increasing employee total compensation by means of an extraordinary reward in so far as certain requirements are fulfilled.

The payment of contributions into the plan and participation therein are voluntary. Once the intended beneficiary accepts to take part in the plan, he/she may make two types of contributions: a monthly contribution based on his/her salary and an extraordinary contribution, based on his/her annual bonus. It is suggested that contributions should be of up to 2.5% of salaries and of up to 15% of the annual bonus. And then there is the contribution payable by the Company which shall amount to 200% of the monthly contributions and of 300% of the extraordinary contributions made by the employees.

The funds resulting from the contributions made by the participants are transferred to an independent financial vehicle, specially created and situated in Argentina in the form of a mutual fund with the approval of the CNV. These funds can be freely redeemed at the request of participants.

The funds resulting from the contributions made by both companies are transferred to another independent financial vehicle, separate from the one previously mentioned.

In the future, the participants shall have access to 100% of the benefits under the plan (that is, including the contributions made by the Company for the benefit of the employees into the financial vehicle specially created) in any of the following circumstances:

● ordinary retirement as prescribed by labor law

● total or permanent disability, and

● death.

In case of resignation or termination without good cause, the participant may redeem the amounts contributed by us only if he or she has participated in the Plan for at least 5 years and if certain conditions have been fulfilled.

During this fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Company has made contributions to the plan for Ps.3.6 million.

Long Term Incentive Program

The Shareholders’ Meetings held on October 31, 2011, October 31, 2012, and October 31, 2013, ratified the resolutions approved thereat as regards the incentive plan for the Company’s executive officers, up to 1% of its shareholders’ equity by allocating the same number of own treasury stock (the “Plan”), and delegated on the Board of Directors the broadest powers to fix the price, term, form, modality, opportunity and other conditions to implement such plan. In this sense and in accordance with the new Capital Markets Law, the Company has made the relevant filing with the CNV and pursuant to the comments received from such entity, it has made the relevant amendments to the Plan which, after the CNV had stated to have no further comments, were explained and approved at the Shareholders’ Meeting held on November 14, 2014, where the broadest powers were also delegated to the Board of Directors to implement such plan.

The Company has developed a medium and long term incentive and retention stock program for its management team and key employees under which share-based contributions were calculated based on the annual bonus for the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

The beneficiaries under the Plan are invited to participate by the Board of Directors and their decision to access the Plan was voluntary.

In the future, the Participants or their successors in interest will have access to 100% of the benefit (Cresud’s shares contributed by the Company) in the following cases:

● if an employee resigns or is dismissed for no cause, he or she will be entitled to the benefit only if 5 years have elapsed from the moment of each contribution.

● retirement.

● total or permanent disability.

● death.

While participants are part of the program and until the conditions mentioned above are met to receive the shares corresponding to the contributions based on the 2011 to 2013 bonus, participants will receive the economic rights corresponding to the shares assigned to them. As provided under the plan, the shares of stock corresponding to the 2014 bonus were delivered in April 2015; moreover, an amount equivalent to one salary was delivered in the form of shares of stock to those employees who did not participate in the plan and who had discharged services for a term of two years.

284

The shares allocated to the Plan by the Company are shares purchased in 2009, which the Shareholders’ Meeting held on October 31, 2011, has specifically decided to allocate to the program.

DIC's CEO of the Operation Center in Israel, has a stock option plan which includes 5,310,000 options, that will be given in five series, and which may be exercised for 5,310,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS per share of Discount Investments.

The COSO Report sets forth that internal control is a process, effected by an entity’s board of directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the entity’s objectives in the following categories:

●

Effectiveness and efficiency of operations

●

Reliability of financial reporting

●

Compliance with applicable laws and regulations

Based on the above, the Company’s internal control system involves all levels of the company actively involved in exercising control:

●

the board of directors, by establishing the objectives, principles and values, setting the tone at the top and making the overall assessment of results;

●

the management of each area is responsible for internal control in relation to objectives and activities of the relevant area, i.e. the implementation of policies and procedures to achieve the results of the area and, therefore, those of the entity as a whole;

●

the other personnel plays a role in exercising control, by generating information used in the control system or taking action to ensure control.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

In accordance with the Capital Markets Law No. 26.831 and the Rules of the CNV, our board of directors has established an audit committee which would focus on assisting the board in exercising its duty of care, compliance with disclosure requirements, the enforcement of accounting policies, the 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 the laws, independence and capacity of independent auditors and performance of audit duties both by our internal audit and our external auditors. These responsabilities are meant to comply with the duties assigned by Law 26.831, the Technical Rules of the CNV, and other applicable laws.

On November 5, 2015, our board of directors appointed Jorge Oscar Fernández, Pedro Damaso Labaqui Palacio, Daniel Elías Mellicovsky and Gabriel Adolfo Gregorio Reznik, all of them independent members, as members of the audit committee.

Agreement for the exchange of corporate services with IRSA and IRSA CP

Considering that each of IRSACP, IRSA and us have operations that overlap to a certain extent, our board of directors deemed it advisable to implement alternatives designed to reduce certain fixed costs of our combined activities and to mitigate their impact on our operating results while seizing and optimizing the individual efficiencies of each of them in the different areas comprising the management of operations.

To such end, on June 30, 2004, a Master Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services, or the “Frame Agreement,” was entered into between IRSA CP, IRSA and us, which was amended several times to bring it in line with evolving operating requirements. The goal of the amendment is to increase efficiency in the distribution of corporate resources and reduce operating costs. The agreement had an initial term of 24 months and is renewable automatically for equal periods, unless it is terminated by any of the parties upon prior notice.

The Frame Agreement currently provides for the exchange and sharing of services among the following areas: Human Resources, Finance, Institutional Relations, Administration and Control, Insurance, Security, Agreements, Technical Tasks, Infrastructure and Services, Procurement, Architecture and Design, Development and Works, Real Estate, Hotels, Board of Directors, Board of directors of Real Estate Business, General Manager Office, Board Safety, Audit Committee, Real Estate Business Management, Human Resources of Real Estate Business, Fraud Prevention, Internal Audit and Agricultural Investment Management.

Pursuant to the Frame Agreement, we, IRSA CP and IRSA hired Deloitte & Co., an external consulting firm, to review and evaluate semi-annually the criteria used in the process of liquidating the corporate services, as well as the basis for distribution and source documentation used in the process indicated above, by means of a half-yearly report.

The operations indicated above allow both IRSA CP and IRSA to keep our strategic and commercial decisions fully independent and confidential, with cost and profit apportionment allocated on the basis of operating efficiency and equity, without pursuing individual economic benefits for any of the related companies.

Exagrind S.A. filed a lawsuit against Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. (IGSA) (a former subsidiary merged with the Company ) and Tali Sumaj on claims for damages and losses produced by a fire in one of the Company's farms, “San Rafael” farm, which is close to Exagrind’s property, Tali Sumaj, in the Province of Catamarca, Argentina. The fire took place on September 6, 2000. There is a lien on the property and Exagrind S.A. requested that the measure be extended with an attachment of bank accounts. This ruling has been challenged and to date the accounts have not been attached. Moreover there is another judicial filed labeled “Exagrind S.A. Estancia San Rafael c/ Inversiones Ganaderas S.A. s/ Incidente de extension de responsabilidad” (147/11) wherein Exagrid S.A. requested an injunction against Cresud, which has not been implemented. Notwithstanding the forgoing, this measure was appealed by Cresud and to date the accounts have not been attached. The final decision is pending since 06/23/2015. The Company has recorded a provision amounting to Ps. 4.2 million, which is included within “Labor, legal and other claims”.

In addition, the Company is involved in several legal proceedings, including tax, labor, civil, administrative and other matters for which the Company has not established provisions based on the information assessed to date. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of any threatened or pending matters, either individually or collectively, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of operations of the Company. For ease of presentation, the Company has categorized these matters between those arising out of our agricultural and agro-industrial activities and those arising out of our investment and development properties business activities.

IRSA’s and IRSA CP’ legal or arbitration proceedings

Operation Center in Argentina

Set forth below is a description of certain material legal proceedings to which we are a party. We are not engaged in any other material litigation or arbitration and no other material litigation or claim is known to us to be pending or threatened against us or our subsidiaries. Nevertheless, we may be involved in other litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

Puerto Retiro

On November 18, 1997, in connection with our acquisition of our subsidiary Inversora Bolívar, we indirectly acquired 35.2% of the capital stock of Puerto Retiro. Inversora Bolívar had purchased such common shares of Puerto Retiro from Redona Investments Ltd. N.V. in 1996. In 1999, we, through Inversora Bolívar, increased our interest in Puerto Retiro to 50.0% of its capital stock. On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro was served notice of a filing made by the Argentine government, through the Ministry of Defense, seeking to extend the bankruptcy of Indarsa to the Company. Upon filing of the complaint, the bankruptcy court issued an order restraining the ability of Puerto Retiro to dispose of, in any manner, the real property it had purchased in 1993 from Tandanor. Puerto Retiro appealed the restraining order which was confirmed by the Court on December 14, 2000.

In 1991, Indarsa had purchased 90% of Tandanor, a former government-owned company, which owned a piece of land near Puerto Madero of approximately 8 hectares, divided into two parcels: Planta 1 and 2. After the purchase of Tandanor by Indarsa, in June 1993, Tandanor sold “Planta 1” to Puerto Retiro, for a sum of US$18 million pursuant to a valuation performed by J.L. Ramos, a well-known real estate brokerage firm in Argentina. Indarsa failed to pay to the Argentine government the price for its purchase of the stock of Tandanor, and as a result the Ministry of Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Since the only asset of Indarsa was its holding in Tandanor, the Argentine government is seeking to extend Indarsa’s bankruptcy to other companies or individuals which, according to its view, acted as a single economic group. In particular, the Argentine government has requested the extension of Indarsa’s bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro which acquired Planta 1 from Tandanor.

293

The deadline for producing evidence in relation to these legal proceedings has expired. The parties have submitted their closing arguments and are awaiting a final judgment. However, the judge has delayed his decision until a final judgment in the criminal proceedings against the former Defense Minister and former directors of Indarsa has been delivered. It should be noticed, regarding the abovementioned criminal procedure, that on February 23, 2011 it was resolved to declare its expiration, and to dismiss certain defendants. However, this resolution is not final because it was appealed. We cannot give you any assurance that we will prevail in this proceeding, and if the plaintiff’s claim is upheld by the courts, all of the assets of Puerto Retiro would likely be used to pay Indarsa’s debts and our investment in Puerto Retiro, would be lost. As of June 30, 2016, we had not established any reserve with respect of this contingency.

Tandanor has filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro and the people charged in the referred criminal case looking forward to be reimbursed from all the losses which have arose upon the fraud committed. On March 7, 2015 Puerto Retiro responded filing certain preliminary objections, such as prescription or limitation, lack of information to respond the lawsuit, lack of legitimacy (active and passive). On July 12, 2016 Puerto Retiro was legally notified of the decision adopted by the Tribunal Oral Federal No. 5 related to the preliminary objections above mentioned. Two of them were rejected –lack of information and lack of legitimacy (passive). We filed an appeal with regard to the rejection of these two objections. But, on the other hand, the other two objections will be studied at the moment of deliver the sentence, which is an important step in order to obtain a favorable decision. The appeal was rejected. As of the date of this document, the file is on evidence stage.

Legal issues with the City Hall of Neuquén

In June 2001, Shopping Neuquén requested that the City of Neuquén allow it to transfer certain parcels of land to third parties so that each participant in the commercial development to be constructed would be able to build on its own land. Neuquén’s Executive Branch previously rejected this request under Executive Branch Decree No. 1437/2002 which also established the expiration of the rights arising from Ordinance 5178 due to not building the shopping center in time, including the loss of the land and of any improvement and expenses incurred. As a result, Shopping Neuquén had no right to claim indemnity charges and annulled its buy-sell land contracts.

Shopping Neuquén submitted a written appeal to this decision on January 21, 2003. It also sought permission to submit a revised schedule of time terms for the construction of the shopping center, taking into account the economic situation at that time and including reasonable short and medium term projections. Neuquén’s Executive Branch rejected this request in their Executive Branch Decree 585/2003. Consequently, on June 25, 2003, Shopping Neuquén filed an “Administrative Procedural Action” with the High Court of Neuquén requesting, among other things, the annulment of Executive Branch Decrees 1,437/2002 and 585/2003 issued by the City Executive Branch. On December 21, 2004, the High Court of Neuquén communicated its decision that the administrative procedural action that Shopping Neuquén had filed against the City of Neuquén had expired. Shopping Neuquén filed an extraordinary appeal for the case to be sent to the Argentine Supreme Court.

On December 13, 2006, while the case was under study in the Argentine Supreme Court, Shopping Neuquén signed an agreement with both the City and the Province of Neuquén that put an end to the lawsuit between them and stipulated a new timetable for construction of the commercial and housing enterprises (the “Agreement”). Also, Shopping Neuquén was permitted to transfer certain parcels to third parties so that each participant in the commercial development to be constructed would be able to build on its own land, with the exception of the land in which the shopping center would be constructed. The Legislative Council of the City of Neuquén duly ratified the Agreement. The City Executive Branch promulgated the ordinance issued on February 12, 2007.

Shopping Neuquén came to an agreement and paid all of the City’s lawyers, including pending fees contested in court.

Shopping Neuquén finished the construction and opened the shopping center in March, 2015, obtaining also all necessary provincial and city authorizations for it.

Arcos del gourmet

IRSA CP has been named as a party in a case titled “ Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y Otros c/ Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires s/ Amparo .” The plaintiff filed a petition for injunctive relief against the local government claiming that the Arcos del Gourmet project lacked the necessary environmental approvals and did not meet zoning requirements. On August 29, 2014, the lower court rendered a decision dismissing the case. This resolution was appealed but affirmed in December 2014. Therefore, on December 18, 2014, the “Arcos” Project was opened to the public, and currently is operating normally. Notwithstanding, the plaintiff appeared before the Superior Court of the City of Buenos Aires to request the review of the case based on constitutional matters allegedly at issue. On July 4, 2017, the Court ordered the Appeals court to review the case.

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

Other Litigation

As of July 5, 2006, the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (“AFIP”) filed a preliminary injunction with the Federal Court for Administrative Proceedings against IRSA CP for an aggregate amount of Ps.3.7 million, plus an added amount, provisionally estimated, of Ps.0.9 million for legal fees and interest. The main dispute is about the income tax due for admission rights. In the first instance, AFIP pleaded for a general restraining order. On November 29, 2006, the Federal Court issued an order substituting such restraining order for an attachment on the parcel of land located in Caballito neighborhood, City of Buenos Aires, where IRSA CP is planning to develop a shopping center. As of June 30, 2011, under court proceedings, the building was subject to a legal attachment for Ps.36.8 million. On December 12, 2012, the legal attachment was lifted and accredited in the file concerned in February 2013.

After we sold the Edificio Costeros, dique II, on November 20, 2009, we requested an opinion to the Argentine Antitrust Authority as to whether it was necessary to report this transaction. The Argentine Antitrust Authority advise us that it was required to notify the transaction. We challenged this decision, but it was confirmed. On December 5, 2011, we notified the transaction and on April 30, 2013 the transaction was approved by the Argentine Antitrust Authority by Resolution No 38, as a result of that this legal proceeding was concluded.

On January 15, 2007 we were notified of two claims filed against us before the Argentine Antitrust Authority, one by a private individual and the other one by the licensee of the shopping center, both opposing the acquisition from the province of Córdoba of a property known as Ex-Escuela Gobernador Vicente de Olmos. On February 1, 2007 we responded the claims. On June 26, 2007, the Argentine Antitrust Authority notified us that it has initiated a summary proceeding to determine whether the completion of the transaction breaches the Antitrust Law. As of the date of this filing the result of this proceeding has not been determined.

On December 3, 2009, IRSA CP filed a request for the Argentine Antitrust Authority’s opinion regarding IRSA CP’s acquisition of common shares of Arcos del Gourmet S.A. The Argentine Antitrust Authority advised the parties that the transaction had to be notified. On December, 2010 the transaction was filed with the Argentine Antitrust Authority. As of the date of this annual report, the decision of the Argentine Antitrust Authority is still pending.

On April 11, 2011, Quality Invest requested the Argentine Antitrust Authority opinion regarding Quality Invest’s acquisition Property of a warehouse owned by Nobleza Piccardo located in San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires. The Argentine Antitrust Authority stated that there was an obligation to notify the situation, but Quality Invest filed an appeal against this decision. Subsequently, the Court of Appeals confirmed the Argentine Antitrust Authorities’ decision regarding the obligation to notify and, therefore, on February 23, 2012, the transaction was filed. As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine Antitrust Authority is analyzing this decision.

On August 23, 2011, IRSA CP notified the Argentine Antitrust Authority the direct and indirect acquisition of common shares of NPSF, the transaction involved the direct acquisition of 33.33% of NPSF and 16.66% through our controlled vehicle Torodur S.A. As of the date of this annual report the transaction is being analyzed by the Argentine Antitrust Authority.

On June 16, 2012, we sold to Cabaña Don Francisco S.A. certain Costeros Dique IV’s functional units, to be used for office space, and complementary units to be used for parking. In addition, we assigned upon the purchaser all rights and interests arising from lease agreements involving the conveyed units. As a result, an advisory opinion was requested from the Argentine Antitrust Authority as to the need to report such transaction. The Argentine Antitrust Authority resolved that the transaction was exempt from report on May 21, 2014, so this legal process was finished.

On December 7, 2012, we notified the Argentine Antitrust Authority of the acquisition of 50% of the common shares of EHSA, which owns 50% of the common shares of La Rural, which operates a convention mall ( Predio Ferial de Palermo ); on July 25, 2017 the transaction was approved by the Argentine Antitrust Authority. See “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risk Relating to Our Business—Our business is subject to extensive regulation and additional regulations may be imposed in the future.”

Through the issuance of Resolution No. 16,521 dated February 17, 2011 the CNV commenced a summary proceeding against the members of IRSA’s board of directors and its supervisory committee members (all of them at that time, including among others Eduardo S. Elsztain), alleging certain formal errors in the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book, specifically the failure by the Company to comply with certain formalities in the presentation of a table included in the Memoria (annual report); arising from an investigation carried out by the CNV in October 2010. Applicable law requires that the corrections of any errors in the annual report include a legend identifying each error and the way in which it was corrected, including insertion of the holographic signature from the chairman of the board. In this case, we first corrected the mistake and after the request from the CNV included the legend and the holographic signature of the chairman, required by the relevant formalities.

IRSA’s response to the CNV’s allegations containing the arguments for the defense was filed in March 2011 and the first hearing was held in May 2011. In April, 2013, the CNV imposed (as a result of the aforementioned alleged charge) a fine on the members of IRSA’s board of directors and its supervisory committee members. The fine imposed by the CNV amounts to Ps.270,000 equivalent to US$49,632 and it was imposed against IRSA and the members of the board together. The amount of the fine demonstrates the immaterial nature of the alleged violations. Even though the fine was paid, in April 2013, IRSA appealed such resolution, which is still ongoing in Court Room No. IV of the National Chamber of Appeals in Federal Administrative Procedures (Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Contencioso Administrativo Federal).

Class actions in the United States

On May 9, 2016, a putative shareholder class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against IRSA, Cresud Cresud, Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, Alejandro Gustavo Elsztain, Saúl Zang and Matías Iván Gaivironsky (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaint, as amended on February 13, 2017, asserts violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of persons that purchased or otherwise acquired IRSA Global Depositary Receipts between February 11, 2015 and December 30, 2015, and alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omissions relating to IRSA’s investment in IDBD. More specifically, the complaint alleges that IRSA’s disclosures during that time period misrepresented and failed to disclose that (1) IDBD’s US$6.7 billion net debt should have been consolidated in IRSA’s financial statements and (2) as so consolidated, IRSA’s debt would violate the covenants specified in IRSA’s Global Notes Indenture. A similar class action complaint was filed against Cresud, Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, Alejandro Gustavo Elsztain, Saúl Zang, and Matías Iván Gaivironsky on April 29, 2016.

Both class actions were transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on July 14, 2016, and were referred to Judge Vernon S. Broderick on July 19, 2016.

On December 8, 2016, the Court entered orders appointing Stefan Sachsenberg as lead plaintiff for the putative class in the IRSA class action and John Tomka as lead plaintiff for the putative class in the Cresud class action. The Court appointed the Rosen Law Firm as lead counsel for the putative classes in both actions.

On February 13, 2017, plaintiffs in both actions filed amended complaints. On April 12, 2017, the Court entered an order adopting a stipulation entered by the parties to stay the class action against Cresud until the Court rules on Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint filed in the IRSA class action. On April 14, 2017, IRSA and Cresud, as the only Defendants served with a summons and complaint, filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the IRSA class action. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed July 7, 2017, and the Court has not yet ruled on the motion to dismiss or scheduled oral argument.

Defendants believe that there is no merit to the claims alleged and intend to vigorously defend these actions. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in defending these claims.

Operation Center in Israel

Litigation against IDBD

In recent years there has been an increasing trend of filing derivative and class action claims in the area of corporate and securities laws in Israel. While taking into account such issues and the financial position of IDBD and its holding structure, claims in considerable amounts may be filed against IDBD, including in connection with its financial position and cash flows, with offerings that it makes, and transactions that were carried out or not completed, including with regards to the contentions and claims of the controlling shareholders that took place in IDBD.

Arbitration proceedings relating to the obtainment of control in IDBD.

On May 7, 2014, Dolphin acquired jointly with ETH (a non-related company established under the laws of the State of Israel, which was presented to Dolphin as a company controlled by Mordechay Ben Moshé), an aggregate number of 106.6 million common shares in IDBD, representing 53.30% of its stock capital, under the scope of the debt restructuring Arrangement of IDBH, IDBD’s parent company, with its creditors.

Under the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement, Dolphin and ETH acquired each the remaining 50% of the 106.6 million common shares. The initial total investment amount was NIS 950 million, equivalent to approximately US$272 million at the exchange rate prevailing on that date.

On May 28, 2015, ETH offered Dolphin to acquire Dolphin’s shares pursuant to the BMBY mechanism provided in the Shareholders’ Agreement, which establishes that each party of the Shareholders’ Agreement may offer to the counterparty to acquire (or sell, as the case may be), the shares it holds in IDBD at a fixed price. In addition, ETH further added that the purchaser thereunder required to assume all obligations of seller.

On June 10 and 11, 2015, Dolphin gave notice to ETH of its intention to buy all the shares of IDBD held by ETH.

296

After certain aspects of the offer were resolved through an arbitration process brought by Dolphin and ETH, on September 24, 2015, the competent arbitrator resolved that: (i) Dolphin and IFISA (related company to the Company) were entitled to act as buyers in the BMBY process, and ETH had to sell all of the IDBD shares held by it (92,665,926 shares) at a price of NIS 1.64 per share; (ii) The buyer had to fulfill all of the commitments included in the Arrangement, including the commitment to carry out Tender Offers; (iii) The buyer had to pledge in favor of the Arrangement Trustees the shares that were previously pledged in favor of the Arrangement Trustees by the seller.

On October 11, 2015, the BMBY process concluded, and IFISA acquired all IDBD’s shares of stock held by ETH. Consequently, the Shareholders’ Agreement was terminated and members of IDBD’s Board of Directors representing ETH submitted their irrevocable resignation to the Board, therefore Dolphin was hence empowered to appoint the new members to the Board. Additionally, on the same date, Dolphin pledged additional shares as collateral to secure compliance with the stock purchase agreement, thereby increasing the number of pledged shares to 64,067,710.

In addition to the competent arbitrator’s decision issued on September 24, 2015, ETH and Dolphin still have counterclaims of different kinds which are subject to such arbitration proceeding. As of the filing date of this Annual Report, the proceeding is still being heard.

Litigation against Clal Insurance and its subsidiaries

This exposure is especially high in the areas of long-term savings and long-term health insurance in which Clal Insurance operates, in view of the fact that in these areas the policies were issued decades ago, while at present, after significant changes in the regulatory environment and against the background of developments in legal precedent and the Israeli authority’s position, the same policies may be interpreted differently, retrospectively, and may be subjected to different interpretation standards than those that were customary at the time that the policies were made. Moreover, in these areas the policies are valid for dozens of years and, therefore, there is a risk that in those cases in which a customer’s claim is accepted and a new interpretation is given to the policy, the future profitability of Clal Insurance in respect of the existing policy portfolio will also be affected. This is in addition to the possible compensation that could be given to the customers due to past activity.

Alongside these aspects, during 2015 amendments were made to reflect a significant reform in the field of approving an insurance program which allows the Israeli authority, under certain conditions, to order the insurer to stop introducing an insurance policy or to order an insurer to make a change to an insurance policy, even with regard to policies that have already been marketed by the insurer. It is not possible to foresee to what extent insurers are exposed to claims in connection with the provisions of the policy, the manner of implementing the Israeli authority’s powers pursuant to the insurance policy reform and its implications, which may be raised, by means of the procedural mechanism provided in the Israeli Class Actions Law.

There are claims that have been recognized as class action suits, claims for which there are pending motions to have them certified as class action suits, and other claims which are immaterial. These claims include mainly claims of improper actions, not in accordance with laws, licenses or breaches of agreements with customers or performance of tort damages toward customers (especially misleading a customer, or a negligent misrepresentation), causing damage, either monetary or non-monetary, to customers. A significant amount of these claims also include claims of charging excessive premiums and payment of lower than called for insurance compensation. In addition, there are pending motions to have claims certified as derivative actions.

Sale of shares of Clal

On August 21, 2013, on the background of concerns about the ability of the previous controlling shareholders of IDBD (Dankner group) to meet the requirements to have control over an insurance company, the Commissioner required that IDBD transfer 51% of the shares in Clal to Mr. Moshe Terry (“the Trustee”) and to grant the Trustee an irrevocable power of attorney with regard to the voting of such shares in Clal.

On November 27, 2013, and as part of the debt arrangement In IDBH, the Commissioner set forth an outline to enable the change of control in IDBD (as part of the debt arrangement), whereby the Commissioner would not view such change of control as being a breach of the Supervision of Financial Services (Insurance) Law, 1981 (the “Insurance Law”), subject to certain conditions, including terms whereby if until December 31, 2014 a control permit for Clal Insurance will not be obtained for the new controlling shareholders in IDBD, or, that an agreement for the sale of the controlling stake in Clal Insurance will not have been signed, then the Trustee will be authorized to sell the Clal Insurance shares that the Trustee holds. Both groups that had submitted proposals in the debt arrangement process (including the Dolphin group) approved such outline.

On December 30, 2014, the Commissioner sent an additional letter setting a term by which IDBD’s control over and equity interests in Clal were to be sold and giving directions as to the Trustee’s continuity in office, among other aspects. For more information, please see “Legal Framework – Operations Center in Israel – Reduced Centralization Act.”

On May 26, 2016 IDBD’s board decided to commence a competitive process for the sale of a control stake in Clal. Following such decision, on July 1, 2016 IDBD entered into an agreement with JP Morgan to serve as an investment bank on behalf of IDBD for the sale of a control stake in Clal.

297

In addition, in June 2015, an application for a Israeli court to approve the commencement of a class action against IDBD, IDBD’s directors (some of which are also our directors), Dolphin and C.A.A Extra Holdings Ltd. was filed by individuals who argue that IDBD’s controlling shareholders and board of directors acted in concert to frustrate the sale of shares of Clal to JT Capital Fund. The applicants argue that this caused them material damages as under the terms of the debt restructuring of IDBD’s holding company, IDBH. with its creditors, they would have been entitled to receive a larger payment had the above mentioned sale been consummated. Furthermore, they allege that the 2014 and 2015 rights offerings of IDBD discriminated against the minority shareholders. On March 21, 2016, the respondents filed a motion to dismiss this class action application. On June 2, 2016, the Court partially accepted this motion, and ordered the applicants to file an amended class action application that would include only the arguments and remedies with respect to the said Clal transaction. On August 2, 2016, the respondents filed a motion to appeal (regarding the decision not to dismiss the arguments concerning the Clal transaction) and, on August 14, 2016, the applicants filed an appeal (regarding the decision to dismiss the arguments concerning the rights offering) both before the Israeli Supreme Court. As of the date of this annual report, the Supreme Court has decided that the motion to appeal and the appeal will be heard jointly, and has ordered a stay of the proceedings.

Litigation against Cellcom and its subsidiaries

B. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This item is not applicable.

C. MARKETS

Argentine Securities Markets

In December 2012, the Argentine government enacted the new Capital Markets Law, which sets out the rules governing capital markets, its participants, and the rules by which securities traded therein are subject to regulation and monitoring by the CNV. On September 5, 2013, the CNV enacted the CNV Rules that regulate the enforcement of the Capital Markets Law for issuers of securities, with regard to initial public offerings and reporting obligations.

Substantially all provisions of Decree No. 677/2011, were incorporated into the Capital Markets Law and the CNV Rules. The Capital Markets Law sets forth the following key goals and principles:

● Promoting the participation of small investors, employee unions, industry groups and trade associations, professional associations and all public savings entities in the capital markets, promoting mechanisms designed to promote domestic savings and channel such funds toward the development of production;

● Strengthening mechanisms to prevent abuses and protect small investors;

● Promoting access to the capital market by small and medium-sized companies;

● Using state-of-the-art technology to foster creation of an integrated capital market through mechanisms designed to achieve interconnection of computer systems among trading markets; and

● Encouraging simpler trading procedures available to users to increase liquidity and competitiveness to develop favorable conditions for transaction execution.

The CNV is a self-administered agency of the Argentine Government with jurisdiction covering the territory of Argentina, governed by the provisions of the Capital Markets Law, and the CNV Rules among other related statutory regulations. The relationship of the CNV and the Argentine Executive branch is maintained through the Ministerio de Finanzas (Ministry of Finance), which hears any appeals filed against decisions made by the CNV, notwithstanding any other legal actions and remedies contemplated in the Capital Markets Law.

The CNV supervises and regulates the authorized markets in which the securities and the collective investment products are traded, the corporations authorized in the public offer regime, and all the other players authorized to operate in the public offer regime, as the registered agents, the trading agents, the financial advisors, the underwriters and distributors, the brokers, the settlement and clearing agents, the managers of collective investment products, the custodians of collective investment products, the collective depositories, and the risk rating agencies, among others. Argentine institutional investors and insurance companies are regulated by separate government agencies, whereas financial institutions are regulated mainly by the Central Bank.

Before offering securities to the public in Argentina, an issuer must meet certain requirements established by the CNV with regard to its assets, operating history and management. Only securities offerings approved by the CNV may be listed on a stock exchange. However, CNV approval does not imply certification as to the quality of the securities or the solvency of the issuer issuers of listed securities are required to file unaudited quarterly financial statements and audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB (excluding financial institutions under the supervision of the Central Bank, insurance companies under the supervision of the Insurance Superintendence and medium and small enterprises) and various other periodic reports with the CNV and the stock exchange on which their securities are listed. In addition, issuers must report to the CNV and the relevant stock exchange any event related to the issuer and its shareholders that may affect materially the value of the securities traded.

In Argentina, debt and equity securities traded on an exchange must, unless otherwise instructed by their shareholders, be deposited with a Central Securities Depository based in Argentina. Currently the only depositary authorized to act in accordance with the Capital Markets Law and CNV Rules is Caja de Valores S.A., a corporation owned by ByMA which provides central depositary facilities, as well as acting as a clearinghouse for securities trading and as a transfer and paying agent for securities transactions.

Before the enactment of the Capital Markets Law and the CNV Rules there were 12 stock exchanges in Argentina, which were located in the City of Buenos Aires, Bah’a Blanca, Chaco, Corrientes, Córdoba, La Plata, La Rioja, Mendoza, Rosario, Salta, Santa Fé, and Tucumán. Six of these exchanges (City of Buenos Aires, Rosario, Córdoba, La Rioja, Mendoza, and Santa Fé) had affiliated stock markets in accordance with the requirements of Law No. 17,811 which was derogated by the Capital Markets Law.

301

Pursuant to the Capital Markets Law, the CNV has authorized six stock markets since September 2014, namely: Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A., or “MAE,” Mercado a Término de Buenos Aires S.A., Mercado a Término de Rosario S.A., Mercado de Valores de Córdoba S.A., Mercado Argentino de Valores S.A. and the Merval.

In December 2016, the CNV authorized a new stock exchange, the ByMA. As the product of a federal alliance of stock exchanges to foster the growth of the Argentine capital markets, ByMA established itself as the single access point to the Argentine market, lowering legal costs, and improving connectivity and access to market information. This new stock exchange is a spin-off of Merval and its shareholders are the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and Merval’s shareholders ByMA’s shares will be publicly traded in Argentina.

Historically, the Merval was the principal stock market in Argentina. Securities including stocks, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, close-ended investment funds, financial trust, indexes, derivatives and public bonds, could all be listed on the Merval. The Merval was authorized to admit, suspend and delist securities based on its governing rules approved by the CNV.

Another relevant stock exchange is the MAE, an electronic platform that processes over-the-counter transactions, involving government securities and corporate bonds traded through spot and forward contracts. MAE broker-dealers include national banks, provincial banks, municipal banks, private national banks, foreign banks, cooperative banks, financial institutions, foreign exchange entities and pure brokers/dealers (exclusively engaged in brokerage activities). Both Argentine and foreign capital banks and financial institutions may be eligible broker-dealers on the MAE. In order to be eligible for trading, securities must be registered with the pertinent supervising authorities and may be traded on the MAE, on other exchanges or on both of them concurrently.

Argentina’s equity markets have historically been composed of individual investors, though in recent years there has been an increase in the level of investment by banks and insurance companies in these markets. However, Argentine mutual funds ( fondos comunes de inversión ) continue to have very low participation.

(2) During the month of June .

Although companies may list all of their capital stock on the ByMA, in many cases a controlling block is retained by the listed company’s shareholders, resulting in a relatively small percentage of many companies’ stock being available for active trading by the public.

As of June 30, 2017, approximately 101 companies had equity securities listed on, or being transitioned to, the ByMA. The Argentine securities markets generally have substantially more volatility than securities markets in the United States and certain developed countries. The Merval index experienced a 15.9% increase in 2012, an 88.9% increase in 2013, a 59.1% increase in 2014, a 36.1% increase in 2015, a 44.9% increase in 2016, and a 29.3% increase for the six months of 2017. In order to avoid major fluctuations in securities prices, theByMA operates a system pursuant to which the negotiation of a particular security is suspended for 15 minutes when the price of the security registers a variation between 10% and 15% and between 15% and 20%, during any trading session. Any additional 5% variation in the price of the security results in additional 10 minutes successive suspension periods.

B. MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Our Corporate Purpose

Our legal name is Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria. We were incorporated under the laws of Argentina on December 31, 1936 as a sociedad anónima (Stock Corporation) and were registered with Public Registry of Commerce on February 19, 1937 under number 26, on page 2, book 45 of National by-laws Volume. Pursuant to our by-laws, our term of duration expires on June 6, 2082.

Pursuant to article 4 of our by-laws our purpose is to perform the following activities:

● commercial activities with respect to cattle and products pertaining to farming and animal husbandry;

● real estate activities with respect to urban and rural properties;

● financial activities, except for those regulated by Law No. 21,526 of financial entities;

● farming and animal husbandry activities, for properties owned by us or by third parties; and

● agency and advice activities for which there is not required a specific qualifying title.

Limited Liability

Shareholders’ liability for losses is limited to their equity interest in us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the Argentine Corporation Law No. 19,550, shareholders who voted in favor of a resolution that is subsequently declared void by a court as contrary to Argentine law or a company’s by-laws (or regulation, if any) may be held jointly and severally liable for damages to such company, other shareholders or third parties resulting from such resolution. In addition, a shareholder who votes on a business transaction in which the shareholder’s interest conflicts with that of the company may be liable for damages under the Argentine Corporation Law, but only if the transaction would not have been validly approved without such shareholder’s vote.

Capitalization

We may increase our share capital upon authorization by our shareholders at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting. Capital increases must be registered with the public registry of commerce referred to as the Public Registry of Commerce, and published in the Bolet’n Oficial . Capital reductions may be voluntary or mandatory and must be approved by the shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ). Reductions in capital are mandatory when losses have depleted reserves and exceeded 50% of capital. As of June 30, 2017 our share capital consisted of 501,642,804 common shares.

Our bylaws provide that preferred stock may be issued when authorized by the shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ) and in accordance with applicable regulations. Such preferred stock may have a fixed cumulative dividend, with or without additional participation in our profits, resolved by the shareholders’ meetings. We currently do not have outstanding preferred stock.

Preemptive Rights and Increases of Share Capital

Pursuant to our by-laws and Argentine Corporation Law No. 19,550, in the event of an increase in our share capital, each of our existing holders of our common shares has a preemptive right to subscribe for new common shares in proportion to such holder’s share ownership. For any shares of a class not preempted by any holder of that class, the remaining holders of the class will be entitled to accretion rights based on the number of shares they purchased when they exercised their own preemptive rights. Rights and accretion rights must be exercised simultaneously within 30 days following the time in which notices to the shareholders of a capital increase and of the rights to subscribe thereto are published for three days in the Bolet’n Oficial and a widely circulated newspaper in Argentina. Pursuant to the Argentine Corporation Law, such 30-day period may be reduced to 10 days by a decision of our shareholders adopted at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ).

303

Additionally, the Argentine Corporation Law permits shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ) to suspend or limit the preemptive rights relating to the issuance of new shares in specific and exceptional cases in which the interest of the Company requires such action and, additionally, under the following specific conditions:

● the issuance is expressly included in the list of matters to be addressed at the shareholders’ meeting; and

● the shares to be issued are to be paid in-kind or in exchange for payment under pre-existing obligations.

Furthermore, Article 12 of the Negotiable Obligations Law permits shareholders at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ) to suspend preemptive subscription rights for the subscription of convertible bonds under the above-mentioned conditions. Preemptive rights may also be eliminated, so long as a resolution providing so has been approved by at least 50% of the outstanding capital stock with a right to decide such matters and so long as the opposition to such resolution does not surpass 5% of the share capital.

Shareholders’ Meetings and Voting Rights

Our bylaws provide that shareholders’ meetings may be called by our board of directors or by our Supervisory Committee or at the request of the holders of shares representing no less than 5% of the common shares. Any meetings called at the request of shareholders must be held within 30 days after the request is made. Any shareholder may appoint any person as its duly authorized representative at a shareholders meeting, by granting a proxy. Co-owners of shares must have single representation.

In general, the following matters can be considered only at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ):

●	matters that may not be approved at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting;
●	the amendment of our bylaws;
●	reductions in our share capital;
●	redemption, reimbursement and amortization of our shares;
●	mergers, and other corporate changes, including dissolution and winding-up;
●	limitations or suspensions to preemptive rights to the subscription of the new shares; and
●	issuance of debentures, convertible negotiable obligations and bonds that do not qualify as notes (obligaciones negociables).

In accordance with our by-laws, ordinary and special shareholders’ meetings ( asamblea extraordinaria ) are subject to a first and second quorum call, the second to occur upon the failure of the first. The first and second notice of ordinary shareholders’ meetings may be made simultaneously. In the event that both are made on the same day, the second must occur at least one hour after the first. If simultaneous notice was not given, the second notice must be given within 30 days after the failure to reach quorum at the first. Such notices must be given in compliance with applicable regulations. In the case of special shareholders’ meetings the second call must be made within 30 days after the failure to reach the quorum of the first by giving appropriate notice according to applicable regulations.

A quorum for an ordinary shareholders’ meeting on the first call requires the presence of a number of shareholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote and, on the second call, the quorum consists of the number of shareholders present, whatever that number. Decisions at ordinary shareholders’ meetings must be approved by a majority of the votes validly exercised by the shareholders.

A quorum for an special shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ) on the first call requires the presence of persons holding 60% of the shares entitled to vote and, on the second call, the quorum consists of the number of shareholders present, whatever that number. Decisions at special shareholders’ meeting ( asamblea extraordinaria ) generally must be approved by a majority of the votes validly exercised.

However, pursuant to the Argentine Corporation Law, all shareholders’ meetings, whether convened on a first or second quorum call, require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares with right to vote in order to approve the following decisions:

●	advanced winding-up of the company;
●	transfer of the domicile of the company outside of Argentina;
●	fundamental change to the purpose of the company;
●	total or partial mandatory repayment by the shareholders of the paid-in capital; and
●	a merger or a spin-off, when our company will not be the surviving company.

304

Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share. Owners of common shares represented by ADRs exercise their voting rights through the ADR Depositary, who acts upon instructions received from such shareholders and, in the absence of instructions, votes in the same manner as our majority of the shareholders present in the shareholders’ meeting.

The holders of preferred stock may not be entitled to voting rights. However, in the event that no dividends are paid to such holders for their preferred stock, the holders of preferred stock are entitled to voting rights. Holders of preferred stock are also entitled to vote on certain special matters, such as a transformation of the corporate type, early dissolution, change to a foreign domicile, fundamental change in the corporate purposes, total or partial replacement of capital losses, mergers in which our company is not the surviving entity, and spin-offs. The same exemption will apply in the event the preferred stock is traded on any stock exchange and such trading is suspended or canceled.

Dividends and Liquidation Rights

The Argentine Corporation Law establishes that the distribution and payment of dividends to shareholders is valid only if they result from realized and net earnings of the company pursuant to an annual balance sheet approved by the shareholders. Our board of directors submits our financial statements for the previous fiscal year, together with the reports of our Supervisory Committee, to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting. This meeting must be held by October 30 of each year to approve the financial statements and decide on the allocation of our net income for the year under review. The distribution, amount and payment of dividends, if any, must be approved by the affirmative vote of the majority of the present votes with right to vote at the meeting.

The shareholders’ meeting may authorize payment of dividends on a quarterly basis provided no applicable regulations are violated. In that case, all and each of the members of the board of directors and the supervisory committee will be jointly and severally unlimitedly liable for the refund of those dividends if, as of the end of the respective fiscal year, the realized and net earnings of the company are not sufficient to allow the payment of dividends.

When we declare and pay dividends on the common shares, the holders of our ADRs, each representing the right to receive ten ordinary shares, outstanding on the corresponding registration date, are entitled to receive the dividends due on the common shares underlying the ADRs, subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement dated March 18, 1997 executed by and between us, The Bank of New York, as depositary and the eventual holders of ADRs. The cash dividends are to be paid in Pesos and, except under certain circumstances, are to be converted by the Depositary into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the conversion date and are to be paid to the holders of the ADRs net of any applicable fee on the dividend distribution, costs and conversion expenses, taxes and public charges.

Our dividend policy is proposed from time to time by our board of directors and is subject to shareholders’ approval at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting. Declarations of dividends are based upon our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and future prospects, as well as restrictions under debt obligations and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors and our shareholders.

Dividends may be lawfully paid only out of our retained earnings determined by reference to the financial statements prepared in accordance with Argentine GAAP. In accordance with the Argentine Corporation Law, net income is allocated in the following order: (i) 5% is retained in a legal reserve until the amount of such reserve equals 20% of the company’s outstanding capital; (ii) dividends on preferred stock or common shares or other amounts may be retained as a voluntary reserve, contingency reserve or new account, or (iii) for any other purpose as determined by the company’s shareholders at an ordinary shareholders’ meeting.

Our legal reserve is not available for distribution. Under the applicable regulations of the Comisión Nacional de Valores , dividends are distributed pro rata in accordance with the number of shares held by each holder within 30 days of being declared by the shareholders for cash dividends and within 90 days of approval in the case of dividends distributed as shares. The right to receive payment of dividends expires five years after the date on which they were made available to shareholders. The shareholders’ meeting may authorize payment of dividends on a quarterly basis provided no applicable regulations are violated. In such case, all and each of the members of the board of directors and the supervisory committee will be jointly and severally liable for the refund of those dividends if, at the end of the respective fiscal year, the realized and net earnings of the company are not sufficient to allow for the payment of dividends.

●	to be applied to satisfy its liabilities; and
●	to be proportionally distributed among holders of preferred stock in accordance with the terms of the preferred stock. If any surplus remains, our shareholders are entitled to receive and share proportionally in all net assets available for distribution to our shareholders, subject to the order of preference established by our bylaws.

Approval of Financial Statements

Our fiscal year ends on June 30 of each year, after which we prepare an annual report which is presented to our board of directors and Supervisory Committee. The board of directors submits our financial statements for the previous fiscal year, together with the reports of our Supervisory Committee, to the annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting, which must be held within 120 days of the close of our fiscal year, in order to approve our financial statements and determine our allocation of net income for such year. At least 20 days before the ordinary shareholders’ meeting, our annual report must be available for inspection at our principal office.

305

Right of Dissenting Shareholders to Exercise Their Appraisal Right

Whenever certain actions are approved at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria ) (such as the approval of a merger, a spin-off (except when the shares of the acquired company are publicly traded), a fundamental change of corporate purpose, a transformation from one type of corporation to another, a transfer of the domicile of our company outside of Argentina or, as a result of the action approved, the shares cease to be publicly traded) any shareholder dissenting from the adoption of any such resolution may withdraw from our company and receive the book value per share determined on the basis of our latest financial statements, whether completed or to be completed, provided that the shareholder exercises its appraisal rights within ten days following the shareholders’ meeting at which the resolution was adopted.

In addition, to have appraisal rights, a shareholder must have voted against such resolution or act within 15 days following the shareholders’ meeting if the shareholder was absent and can prove that he was a shareholder of record on the day of the shareholders meeting. Appraisal rights are extinguished with respect to a given resolution if such resolution is subsequently overturned at another shareholders’ meeting held within 75 days of the previous meeting at which the original resolution was adopted. Payment on the appraisal rights must be made within one year of the date of the shareholders’ meeting at which the resolution was adopted, except where the resolution involved a decision that our stock ceases to be publicly traded, in which case the payment period is reduced to 60 days from the date of the resolution.

Ownership Restrictions

The CNV regulations require that transactions that cause a person’s holdings of capital stock of a registered Argentine company, to hold 5% or more of the voting power, should be immediately notified to the CNV. Thereafter, every change in the holdings that represents a multiple of 5% of the voting power should also be notified.

Directors, senior managers, executive officers, members of the supervisory committee, and controlling shareholders of an Argentine company whose securities are publicly listed, should notify the CNV on a monthly basis, of their beneficial ownership of shares, debt securities, and call and put options related to securities of such companies and their controlling, controlled or affiliated companies.

Holders of more than 50% of the common shares of a company or who otherwise have voting control of a company, as well as directors, officers and members of the supervisory committee, must provide the CNV with annual reports setting forth their holdings in the capital stock of such companies and monthly reports of any change in their holdings.

Tender Offers

Tender offers under Argentine law may be voluntary or mandatory. In either case, the offer must be made addressed to all shareholders. In the case of a mandatory tender offer, the offer must also be made to the holders of subscription rights, stock options or convertible debt securities that directly or indirectly may grant a subscription, acquisition or conversion right on voting shares.

Capital Markets Law No. 26,831 establishes that a person or entity wishing to acquire a “significant holding” (“ participaciones significativas ”) shall be required to launch a mandatory tender offer:

-	A mandatory tender offer will not be required in those cases in which the purpose of the acquisition of the “significant holding” is not to acquire the control of a company.

The CNV defines a “significant holding” as holdings that represent an equal or a higher percentage than 35% and higher than 50% of the voting shares as the case may be:

-	When a person or an entity intends to acquire more than 35% of the shares of a company, a mandatory tender offer to purchase 50% of the corporate voting capital is required by law.
-	When a person or an entity wishes to acquire more than 50% of the shares of a company, a mandatory tender offer to acquire 100% of the voting capital will be legally required.
-	Finally, when a shareholder controls 95% or more of the outstanding shares of a company, (i) any minority shareholder may, at any time, demand that the controlling party make an offer to purchase all of the remaining shares of the minority shareholders and (ii) the controlling party can issue a unilateral statement of intention to acquire all of the remaining shares owned by the other stockholders.

306

Pursuant to the Argentine Corporation Law we may redeem our outstanding common shares only under the following circumstances:

●	to cancel such shares and only after a decision to reduce our capital stock (with shareholder approval at an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria);
●	to avoid significant damage to our company under exceptional circumstances, and then only using retained earnings or free reserves that have been fully paid, which action must be ratified at the following ordinary shareholders’ meeting; or
●	in the case of the acquisition by a third-party of our common shares.

The Capital Markets Law provides for other circumstances under which our company, as a corporation whose shares are publicly listed, can repurchase our shares. The following are necessary conditions for the acquisition of our shares:

●	the shares to be acquired shall be fully paid,
●	there shall be a board of directors’ resolution containing a report of our supervisory committee and audit committee. Our board of director’s resolution must provide the purpose of the acquisition, the maximum amount to be invested, the maximum number of shares or the maximum percentage of capital that may be acquired and the maximum price to be paid for our shares. Our board of directors must give complete and detailed information to both shareholders and investors,
●	the purchase shall be carried out with net profits or with free or optional reserves, and we must prove to the CNV that we have the necessary liquidity and that the acquisition will not affect our solvency,
●	under no circumstances may the shares acquired by our company, including those that may have been acquired before and held by us as treasury stock, be more than 10% of our capital stock or such lower percentage established by the CNV after taking into account the trading volume of our shares.

Any shares acquired by us that exceed 10% of our capital stock must be disposed of within 90 days from the date of acquisition originating the excess without prejudice of the liability corresponding to our board of directors.

Transactions relating to the acquisition of our own shares may be carried out through open market transactions or through a public offering:

●	in the case of acquisitions in the open market, the amount of shares purchased daily cannot exceed 25% of the mean daily traded volume of our shares during the previous 90 days.
●	in either case, the CNV can require the acquisition to be carried out through a public offering if the shares to be purchased represent a significant percentage in relation to the mean traded volume.

Regulation of the CNV as amended, provides general requirements that any company must comply with in the case of the acquisition of its shares under the Corporations Law or under the Capital Markets Law. The acquisition of its shares by a company must be:

●	approved by a resolution of the board of directors with a report of its supervisory committee,
●	notice must be given to the CNV with the expression of the motives of the decision,
●	be carried out with net profits or free reserves from the last financial statements and approved by the board of directors,
●	the board of directors has to prove to the CNV, that the company has the necessary liquidity and that the acquisition does not affect its solvency,
●	all shares acquired by the company, including those that may have been acquired before and held by it as treasury stock, may not exceed 10% of its capital stock.

There are no legal limitations to ownership of our securities or to the exercise of voting rights pursuant to the ownership of our securities, by non-resident or foreign shareholders.

Registrations and Transfers

Our common shares are held in registered, book-entry form. The registry for our shares is maintained by Caja de Valores S.A. at its executive offices located at 25 de mayo 362, (C1002ABH) Buenos Aires, Argentina. Only those persons whose names appear on such share registry are recognized as owners of our common shares. Transfers, encumbrances and liens on our shares must be registered in our share registry and are only enforceable against us and third parties from the moment registration takes place.

Such transactions were subject to the regulations and requirements imposed by the Central Bank. Under Communication “A” 3471, as amended, the Central Bank established certain restrictions and requirements applicable to foreign currency exchange transactions. If such restrictions and requirements are not met, criminal penalties shall be applied.

Under Communication “A” 6037, dated August 8th, 2016, and Communication “A” 6150, of the Central Bank, no further authorization is required for residents and non-residents to have access to local exchange market and there is no amount or matter that limits the access thereto.

The access to the MULC requires the filing of certain documentation by residents demonstrating the validity of transactions in which the funds are purchased for its remittance abroad.

Payment of services

As it was mentioned above, there is no restriction applicable for payments to be made to non-residents for performed services. The regulation covers all types of services without making any specifications. The financial entity shall require the filing of documentation supporting the authenticity of the transaction, the service rendered by the non-resident to the resident and the amount to be transferred abroad.

If services performed are not related to the activities actually developed by the resident, the financial entity shall require a copy of the contract by which the payment obligation arises from and an auditor report. Such requirements intend to demonstrate the actual rendering of services to the non-resident and the existence of the debt.

Payment of rents (interest, profits and dividends)

As of January 8, 2003, Communication “A” 3859, item 3, allowed Argentine companies to transfer abroad profits and dividends related to closed financial statements certified by independent accountants without being required to obtain the prior authorization of the Central Bank. Such Communication was replaced by Communication “A” 5264, amended by Communication “A” 5377 and Communication “A” 6037, 6058, 6137 and 6244 as amended of the Central Bank.

309

As of that resolution and the provisions of Communication “A” 6244 of the Central Bank, there are no restrictions on entry and exit in the MULC.

Direct Investment Reporting System

Direct Investments made in Argentina by nonresidents

Under Communication “A” 4237, the Central Bank established a reporting system in connection with direct investments and real estate investments made by nonresidents in Argentina and by residents abroad.

Nonresidents must comply every semester with the above mentioned reporting system if the amount of the investment in Argentina reaches or exceeds US$500,000. If such amount is not reached, the reporting system is optional.

In this regard, on December 17, 2015, Communication “A” 5850 issued by the Central Bank restored the possibility of nonresidents to repatriate their investment capital and through Communications “A” 6037 and “A” 6244 of the Central Bank of dates August 8, 2016 and May 19, 2017, respectively, were defined the new regulations that apply to the acquisition of foreign currency and the elimination of all other restrictions that prevent residents and nonresidents from accessing the market of changes.

Direct investments made outside Argentina by Argentine residents

Argentine residents are required to meet the reporting system set forth in Communication “A” 4237 every year if the value of their investments abroad reaches or exceeds US$1.0 million and it’s under US$5.0 million, and every semester if it reaches or exceeds US$5.0 million. If the value of such investments abroad does not reach US$1.0 million, compliance with the reporting system is optional.

Sales of foreign exchange to nonresidents

Access to local exchange market shall be given as well to non residents for them to transfer to their own foreign accounts the payments collected in the country. Specific documentation that backs up the cause of the payment may be required by the Central Bank.

For further details of the totality of the exchange and controlling restrictions applicable in Argentina, investors is suggested to read the Communication “A” 6037, Communication “A” 6058, Communication “A” 6137 and the Communication “A” 6244 and its modifications of the Argentina Central Bank, and Decree No. 616/2005 with its regulations and complementary and / or modifying rules, to which the interested parties may consult the same on the website of the Ministerio de Hacienda (www.minhacienda.gob.ar) and the Ministerio de Finanzas (www.minfinanzas.gob.ar), or the Central Bank (http://www.bcra.gob.ar).

Money Laundering

Argentine Law No. 25,246, as amended by Laws Nos. 26,118, 26,268, 26,683 and 27,270, categorizes money laundering as a crime, which is defined as the exchange, transfer, management, sale or any other use of money or other assets obtained through a crime, by a person who did not take part in such original crime, with the potential result that such original assets (or new assets resulting fromsuch original assets) have the appearance of having been obtained through legitimate means. In spite of the fact that there is a specific amount for the money laundering category (Ps.300,000), the crimes committed for a lower amount are also punished, but the prison sentence is reduced.

After the enactment of Law No. 26,683, money laundering was included in the Penal Code as an independent crime against economic and financial order and it was split from the title “Concealment” as originally disposed. Therefore, money laundering is a crime which may be prosecuted independently.

The money laundering law created the Financial Information Unit (UIF). UIF is in charge of the analysis, treatment and transmission of information to prevent and impede the money laundering originating from, among others:

a) Crimes related to the traffic and illegal commercialization of drugs (Law No. 23,737)

b) Crimes related to arms traffic (Law No. 22,415)

c) Crimes related to illegal association or terrorist association

d) Crimes committed by illegal associations organized to commit crimes for political or racial purposes;

e) Crimes against Public Administration

f) Crimes of minor’s prostitution and child pornography

g) Crimes related to terrorism financing

The UIF analyzes the information received by entities that have the obligation to report suspicious activities or operations and, as the case may be, inform the Public Ministry to carry out the investigations that may be considered relevant or necessary.

310

The money laundering legal framework in Argentina also assigns information and control duties to certain private sector entities, such as banks, agents, non-profits organizations, stock exchanges, insurance companies, according to the regulations of the Financial Information Unit,and for financial entities, the Central Bank. These regulations apply to many Argentine companies, including us. These obligations consist mainly of: (i) maintaining internal policies and procedures aimed at money laundering prevention and financing of terrorism, especially through the application of the policy “know your client”; (ii) reporting any suspicious activity or operation and (iii) acting according the Money Laundering Law with respect to the confidentiality of the information obtained from the clients. For that purpose, each entity involved must appoint an officer responsible for the monitoring and control under the Money Laundering Law.

On May 8, 2009, and in its capacity as obliged subject under the rules enacted by UIF, the CNV issued Resolution No. 554 which incorporated within the exchange market many provisions aimed at comply with money laundering prevention pursuant to Law No. 25,246, as amended. In that regard, such resolution established that any entity subject to the supervision of CNV could only take part in securities transactions if they were ordered by parties that were registered or domiciled in jurisdictions not included in the list of tax havens detailed in Decree No. 1344/98. Furthermore, the Resolution provided that securities transactions made by parties registered or domiciled in jurisdictions that are not included in such list, but that act as intermediaries of securities’ markets under the supervision of an agency similar to the CNV, were allowed only if such agency has signed a memorandum of mutual understanding with the CNV.

On February 2, 2012, Resolution No. 554 was replaced by Resolution No. 602 so as to adapt and complement the instructions issued by UIF applying to the entities under the supervision of CNV, including some payment modalities and control proceedings for the reception and deliver of funds to the clients, fixing amounts and instruments to be used. Moreover, such resolution updated the reference to the Decree which referred to tax havens (No. 1,037).

As part of a more comprehensive modification of the rules that govern the scope of supervision of CNV, derive from the enactment of the Capital Markets Law and the CNV Rules, which stablished a new regime for the public offer of securities, CNV issued a new re-arranged text of its rules. Through the CNV Rules, the CNV incorporates a new chapter of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing including dispositions related to the fulfillment of duties to be complied by “ Agentes de Negociación ,” “ Agentes de Liquidación y Compensación ,” “ Agentes de Distribución y Colocación ” and “ Agentes de Administración de Productos de Inversión Colectiva ,” considered as obliged subject under the terms of sections 4, 5 and 22 of article 20 of Law No. 25,246. Such agents are obliged to comply with any provision arising from Law No. 25,246 and its amendments, regulations enacted by UIF, including decrees of National Executive Power with reference to the decisions adopted by the United Nations Security Council, in the fight against terrorism and to comply with the resolutions issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Religion. Furthermore, “ Agentes de Custodia de Productos de Inversión Colectiva (Sociedades Depositarias de Fondos Comunes de Inversión”); “Agentes de corretaje,” “Agentes de depósito colectivo ” and listed companies with respect to contribution, irrevocable contributions or indebtedness made by a shareholder or a third person to become a shareholder in the future, are also reached by the resolution.

Those subjects must send by internet (through the online application of CNV) their tax identification number. Additionally, in case of companies, it must be informed the personal data of the “Compliance Officer” (both regular and alternate).

The CNV Rules provide that the subjects under their jurisdiction, may only take action to transactions in the scope of public offering of securities, stipulated, future or optional contracts of any nature and other instruments and financial products when made or directed by registered, domiciled or domestic subjects or those who reside in dominions, jurisdictions, territories or associated states that appear included in the list of cooperating countries provided in article 2º, subsection b) of Decree No. 589/2013.

When those subjects are not included in the referred list and, in their origin jurisdictions, are only registered intermediates of an entity subject to control and supervision of a body that fulfills similar duties to those of the CNV, the transactions shall only have effect provided that the body in their origin jurisdiction has signed a memorandum of understanding, cooperation and exchange of information with the CNV.

With the purpose of strengthening the requirements in order to grant the authorization to operate in the exchange market, some new requisites were established in connection with: (i) competence and capacity; (ii) moral integrity and honesty and (iii) solvency. Such requisites are subject to the appraisal of CNV and must be fulfilled by managers, directors, auditors and any other individual who perform duties or activities within the company.

Pursuant to Decree 360/2016 dated February 16, 2016, the Argentine government created the “National Coordination Program for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing” within the purview of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. Its purpose is to rearrange, coordinate and strengthen the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing system at national level, in light of the actual risks that could impact the Argentine territory and the global requirements to be met under the scope of the obligations and international recommendations of the United Nations and FATF standards.

Moreover, Law No. 27,260, which introduced certain tax modifications and a new regime for residents to disclose undeclared assets, established that the UIF would now be within the purview of the Ministry of Economy and Finances. Nowaydays, as a result of the reorganization of said ministry, the UIF depends on the Ministry of Finance. For its part, the UIF recently issued Resolution No. 4/2017, which requires certain specific due diligence procedures (commonly called "know your client") to be performed when a national or foreign depositor opens a bank account for the purpose of investment.

Some other measures are set forth related to listed companies or their shareholders or beneficial owners who had been convicted or condemned in connection with money laundering and/or terrorist financing activities or appeared in the list published by the United Nation Security Council.

311

E. TAXATION

United States Taxation

The following summary describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of our common shares and ADSs as of the date hereof. The discussion set forth below is applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below). Except where noted, this discussion deals only with U.S. Holders that hold our common shares or ADSs as capital assets. This summary does not represent a detailed description of the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, including if you are:

●	a bank;
●	a dealer in securities or currencies;
●	a financial institution;
●	a regulated investment company;
●	a real estate investment trust;
●	an insurance company;
●	a tax-exempt organization;
●	a person holding our common shares or ADSs as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, constructive sale or straddle;
●	a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;
●	a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
●	a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of the voting stock of our company;
●	a partnership or other pass-through entity for United States federal income tax purposes; or
●	a person whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. Dollar.

Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the United States federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income, or the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. In addition, this summary is based, in part, upon representations made by the depositary (the “Depositary”) to us and assumes that the deposit agreement governing the ADSs, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares or ADSs that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

●	an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
●	a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
●	an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
●	a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

If a partnership holds our common shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common shares or ADSs, you should consult your tax advisors.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES OR ADSS YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

312

ADSs

In general, for United States federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be treated as the owners of the underlying common shares that are represented by the ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of our common shares by U.S. Holders for ADSs will not be subject to United States federal income tax.

Distributions on Common Shares or ADSs

Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, the gross amount of distributions on our common shares or ADSs (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentine withholding taxes, if any) will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). Such income (including withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively received by you, in the case of common shares, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.

With respect to non-corporate United States investors, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on shares (or ADSs representing such shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. United States Treasury Department guidance indicates that our ADSs (which are listed on the NASDAQ), but not our common shares, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we do not believe that dividends that we pay on our common shares that are not represented by ADSs currently meet the conditions required for these reduced tax rates. Non-corporate holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met.

The amount of any dividend paid in Pesos will equal the U.S. Dollar value of the Pesos received calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received by you, in the case of common shares, or by the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, regardless of whether the Pesos are converted into U.S. Dollars. If the Pesos received are not converted into U.S. Dollars on the day of receipt, you will have a basis in the Pesos equal to their U.S. Dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss you realize on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Pesos will be treated as United States source ordinary income or loss.

Subject to certain significant conditions and limitations, Argentine tax withheld from dividends, if any, may be treated as foreign income tax eligible for credit or deduction against your United States federal income tax liability. For purposes of the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the common shares or ADSs will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. Further, in certain circumstances, if you have held ADSs or common shares for less than a specified minimum period during which you are not protected from risk of loss, or are obligated to make payments related to the dividends, you will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on ADSs or common shares. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentine withholding taxes, if any) exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ADSs or common shares, and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. However, we do not expect to keep earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend (as discussed above).

Taxation of Capital Gains

Subject to the discussion under “Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares or ADSs, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. Dollar value of the amount realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares or ADSs, determined in U.S. Dollars. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or other disposition you have held the common shares or ADSs for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of individuals are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss you recognize will generally be treated as United States source gain or loss. Consequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Argentine tax imposed on the disposition of common shares or ADSs unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources.

313

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Based on the current and projected composition of our income and the valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ending June 30, 2017, and we do not currently expect to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that we may be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in our asset or income composition or if our projections are not accurate. The volatility and instability of Argentina’s economic and financial system may substantially affect the composition of our income and assets and the accuracy of our projections. In addition, this determination is based on the interpretation of certain U.S. Treasury regulations relating to rental income, which regulations are potentially subject to differing interpretation.

In general, we will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which either (i) at least 75% of the gross income of our company for the taxable year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If we own at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, we will be treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning a proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation, and as receiving directly a proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold common shares or ADSs in our company, unless you make the mark-to-market election discussed below, you will be subject to special tax rules discussed below.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or ADSs, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of such common shares or ADSs. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the common shares or ADSs will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules (i) the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the common shares or ADSs, (ii) the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and (iii) the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our common shares or ADSs and any of our non-United States subsidiaries is also a PFIC, you would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the common shares of the lower tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

In addition, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.

In certain circumstances, in lieu of being subject to the excess distribution rules discussed above, you may make an election to include gain on the stock of a PFIC as ordinary income under a mark-to-market method provided that such stock is regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Under current law, the mark-to-market election is only available for stock traded on certain designated United States exchanges and foreign exchanges which meet certaintrading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements to be treated as a qualified exchange under applicable United States Treasury regulations. Consequently, the mark-to-market election may be available to you with respect to the ADSs because the ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ, which constitutes a qualified exchange under the regulations, although there can be no assurance that the ADSs will be regularly traded. You should note that only the ADSs and not the common shares are listed on the NASDAQ. The common shares are listed on the BASE. Consequently, the BASE would need to meet the trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements of the United States Treasury regulations. The ADSs or common shares would also need to be regularly traded on such exchanges in order for the ADSs or common shares to be potentially eligible for the mark-to-market election.

If we are a PFIC in any taxable year in which you hold our common shares or ADSs, but you do not make a mark-to-market election until a subsequent taxable year, you will be subject to special rules in the taxable year of the election. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of the mark-to-market election in your particular situation.

If you make an effective mark-to-market election, you will include in income each year that we are a PFIC as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, the excess, if any, of the fair market value of your common shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over your adjusted tax basis in the common shares or ADSs and will be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of such common shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of each such taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. Your basis in the common shares or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain or loss on the sale of the common shares or ADSs will be ordinary income or loss, except that such loss will be ordinary loss only to the extent of the previously included net mark-to-market gain.

If you make a mark-to-market election it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless the common shares or ADSs are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the Internal Revenue Service consents to the revocation of the election. Mark-to-market inclusions and deductions will be suspended during taxable years in which we are not a PFIC, but would resume if we subsequently become a PFIC. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor about the availability of making such a mark-to-market election.

314

Alternatively, a United States investor that owns common shares or ADSs in a PFIC can sometimes avoid the rules described above by electing to treat the company as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code. This option is not available to you because we do not intend to comply with the requirements necessary to permit you to make this election.

A U.S. Holder who owns common shares or ADSs during any year that we are a PFIC must generally file IRS Form 8621.

You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of holding the common shares or ADSs if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

Argentine Personal Assets Tax

Amounts paid on account of the Argentine personal assets tax, if any, will not be eligible as a credit against your United States federal income tax liability, but may be deductible subject to applicable limitations in the Code.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to distributions on common shares or ADSs and to the proceeds of sale of common shares or ADSs paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless you are an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided you furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.

Argentine Taxation

The following discussion is a summary of certain Argentine tax considerations associated with an investment in, ownership or disposition of, the common shares or the ADSs by (i) an individual holder that is resident in Argentina, (ii) an individual holder that is neither domiciled nor resident in Argentina, (iii) a legal entity organized under the laws of Argentina, (iv) a permanent establishment in Argentina of a foreign entity and (v) a legal entity that is not organized under the laws of Argentina, that does not have a permanent establishment in Argentina and is not otherwise doing business in Argentina on a regular basis. The discussion is for general information only and is based on current Argentine tax laws. Moreover, while this summary is considered to be a correct interpretation of existing laws in force as of the date of this filing, no assurance can be given that the courts or administrative authorities responsible for the administration of such laws will agree with this interpretation or that changes in such laws or interpretations will not occur.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY TAXING JURISDICTION.

Income tax

Law No. 26,893, enacted on September 12, 2013 and published in the Official Gazette on September 23, 2013, introduced several amendments to Income Tax Law No. 20,628 in connection with, among others, the taxation of gains derived from transfers of shares and other securities, including the derogation of Section 78 of Decree No. 2,284/1991, which provided that foreign holders with no permanent establishment in Argentina were exempt from paying income tax on the capital gains arising from the sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs.

On February 7, 2014, the Executive Branch issued Decree No. 2,334/13, which regulates Law No. 26,893.

The changes introduced by Law No. 26,893 are effective from the date of publication of such law in the Official Gazette and are applicable to taxable events consummated from such date onwards.

Taxation of Dividends

Dividends, whether in cash, in shares or in kind, approved by our shareholders are not subject to income tax withholding except for the application of the “Equalization Tax” described below.

An income tax withholding will be applied to the amount of dividends distributed in excess of a company’s net taxable income determined in accordance with general income tax regulations for the fiscal years preceding the date of the distribution of such dividends (the “Equalization Tax”). The legislation requires that companies withhold 35% of the amount of distributed dividends in excess of the net taxable income of such distribution, as determined in accordance with the income tax law. Dividends distributed by an Argentine company are not subject to this tax to the extent that those dividends arise from dividend income or other distributions received by such company from other Argentine companies.

315

Dividend distributions made in kind (other than cash) will be subject to the same tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends on fully paid shares are not subject to Equalization Tax.

Certain tax treaties contemplate the application of a ceiling tax rate on dividends (i.e. 10% on gross dividends).

Taxation of Capital Gains

From the effectiveness of Law No. 26,893 income from sale, exchange, disposition or transfer of shares or ADSs is subject to income tax, irrespective of the person that obtains such income, exception made of transactions made by resident individuals involving shares and other securities that are listed on securities exchanges or markets and/or authorized to be offered to the public.

Resident individuals

Capital gains obtained by resident individuals or undivided estates situated in Argentina from the sale or disposition of common shares and other securities are subject to income tax at a 15% rate on net income (non resident sellers may opt to determine the taxable income subject to tax under one of the following mechanisms: a) apply a deemed taxable base of 90% of the gross proceeds derived from the transaction - the effective rate is, therefore, 13.5% of the sale price; or b) calculate the actual net income by offsetting from the sale price the cost basis and other expenses incurred to purchase the shares), unless such securities were traded in stock markets and/or have public offering authorization, in which case an exemption applies. The amendments introduced by the implementing Decree No. 2,334/13 state that the exemption includes income derived from the sale of common shares and other securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV.

It is not clear whether the term “includes” (as used in the implementing Decree 2,334/2013) means that the exemption only refers to sales of securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV or whether the implementing Decree 2,334/2013 intended to clarify that such sales were just one of the possibilities that may be covered by the exemption (in addition to publicly offering authorized securities, as provided in the Argentine Income Tax Law). Certain qualified tax authorities have publicly opined that the exemption exclusively refers to sales of securities made through a stock exchange market duly authorized by the CNV.

Losses arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares or ADSs can be applied only to offset such capital gains arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of these securities, for a five-year carryover period.

Foreign beneficiaries

Capital gains obtained by non-Argentine individuals or non-Argentine entities from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares are subject to income tax, as the abovementioned exemption for shares is not applicable to non-Argentine beneficiaries. Therefore, the gain derived from the disposition of shares by foreign beneficiaries is subject to Argentine income tax at a 15% rate on the net capital gain or at a 13.5% rate on the gross price at the seller´s election. Argentine Tax Authority (AFIP) by General Resolution No. 4094-E, enacted on July 17, 2017, regulated with respect to how this election is made, notwithstanding, this General Resolution has been suspended until January 16, 2018.

When both seller and buyer are non-residents, the person liable to pay the tax shall be the buyer of the shares, quotas, equity interests and other securities transferred. Argentine Tax Authority (AFIP) by General Resolution No. 4094-E, enacted on July 17, 2017, regulated the withholding and payment mechanism that the non-resident buyer should follow, notwithstanding, this General Resolution has been suspended until January 16, 2018.

Notwithstanding the above, based on certain tax precedents, there may be support to argue that gains obtained by a non-resident from the disposal of ADSs should be regarded as foreign source income and, therefore, not subject to Argentine income tax. As this is a controversial issue, further analysis is required.

Argentine entities

Capital gains obtained by Argentine entities (in general entities organized or incorporated under Argentine law, certain traders and intermediaries, local branches of non-Argentine entities, sole proprietorships and individuals carrying on certain commercial activities in Argentina) derived from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares or ADSs are subject to income tax at the rate of 35%.

Losses arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares or ADSs can be applied only to offset such capital gains arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of these securities, for a five-year carryover period.

WE RECOMMEND PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES CONCERNING THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITIONS OF SHARES AND ADSs.

316

Value Added Tax

The sale, exchange, disposition, or transfer of common shares or ADSs is not subject to value added tax. Dividend distributions are not levied with value added tax either.

Tax on Personal Assets

Argentine entities, such as us, have to pay the personal assets tax corresponding to Argentine and foreign domiciled individuals and foreign domiciled entities for the holding of our shares. The applicable tax rate is 0.25% and is levied on the proportional net worth value (valor patrimonial proporcional), or the book value, of the shares arising from the last balance sheet of the Argentine entity calculated under Argentine GAAP. Pursuant to the Personal Assets Tax Law, the Argentine company is entitled to seek reimbursement of such paid tax from the applicable Argentine domiciled individuals and/or foreign domiciled shareholders.

Our shareholders approved the absorption of personal asset tax by us for the years 2002 to 2016. There can be no assurance that in the future this tax will be absorbed by us.

Tax on Minimum Notional Income (Impuesto a la Ganancia M’nima Presunta, “IGMP”)

Entities domiciled in Argentina, partnerships, foundations, sole proprietorships, trusts, certain mutual funds organized in Argentina, and permanent business establishments owned by foreign persons, among other taxpayers, shall apply a 1% rate to the total value of assets held by such persons, above an aggregate nominal amount of Ps.200,000. Nevertheless, common shares and ADSs issued by entities subject to such tax are exempt from the IGMP.

Law No. 27.260 has repealed this tax for fiscal years commenced since January 1, 2019.

Turnover Tax

The gross turnover tax is a local tax; therefore, the rules of the relevant provincial jurisdiction should be considered, which may levy this tax on the purchase and sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares or ADSs, and/or the collection of dividends at an average rate of 6%, unless an exemption is applicable. In the particular case of the City of Buenos Aires, any transaction involving common shares and/or the collection of dividends and revaluations is exempt from this tax.

There is no gross income tax withholding system applicable to the payments made to foreign beneficiaries.

Stamp Tax

Stamp tax is a local tax that is generally levied on the formal execution of onerous transactions within a certain provincial jurisdiction or outside a certain provincial jurisdiction but with effects in such jurisdiction. Therefore, the rules of the relevant provincial jurisdiction should be considered for the issuance of instruments which implement onerous transactions (including issuance, subscription, placement and transfer) involving the common shares or ADSs, executed in those jurisdictions, or with effects in those jurisdictions.

Notwithstanding, for the City of Buenos Aires, any instrument related to the transfer of shares which public offering is authorized by the CNV is exempt from this tax.

Tax on Credits and Debits in Bank Accounts

Credits to and debits from bank accounts held at Argentine financial institutions, as well as certain cash payments, are subject to this tax, which is assessed at a general rate of 0.6%. There are also increased rates of 1.2% and reduced rates of 0.075%. Owners of bank accounts subject to the general 0.6% rate may consider 34% of the tax paid upon credits to such bank accounts as a tax credit while taxpayers subject to the 1.2% rate may consider 17% of all tax paid upon credits to such bank accounts as a credit. Such amounts can be utilized as a credit for income tax or tax on presumed minimum income.

Other Taxes

There are no Argentine federal inheritance or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of our common shares or ADSs. The provinces of Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos establish a tax on free transmission of assets, including inheritance, legacies, donations, etc. Free transmission of our shares could be subject to this tax.

In the case of litigation regarding the shares before a court of the City of Buenos Aires, a 3% court fee would be charged, calculated on the basis of the claim.

317

Tax Treaties

Argentina has entered into tax treaties with several countries. There is currently no tax treaty or convention in effect between Argentina and the United States.

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”) collects its fees for delivery directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal. The Depositary also collects taxes and governmental charges from the holders of ADSs. The Depositary collects these fees and charges by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the holder prior to such sale).

The Depositary has agreed to reimburse or pay on our behalf, certain reasonable expenses related to our ADS program and incurred by us in connection with the program (such as NASDAQ listing fees, legal and accounting fees incurred with preparation of Form 20-F and ongoing SEC compliance and listing requirements, distribution of proxy materials, investor relations expenses, etc).

318

The amounts the Depositary reimbursed or paid are not perforce related to the fees collected by the depositary from ADS holders.

We agree to pay the fees, reasonable expenses and out-of-pocket charges of the Depositary and those of any registrar only in accordance with agreements in writing entered into between the Depositary and the Company from time to time. The Depositary shall present its statement for such charges and expenses to the Company once every three months. The charges and expenses of the custodian are for the sole account of the Depositary.

The following charges shall be incurred by any party depositing or withdrawing shares or by any party surrendering receipts or to whom receipts are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or an exchange regarding the receipts or deposited securities or a distribution of receipts), whichever applicable: (1) taxes and other governmental charges, (2) such registration fees as may from time to time be in effect for the registration of transfers of shares generally on the share register ofthe Company or foreign registrar and applicable to transfers of shares to the name of the Depositary or its nominee or the custodian or its nominee on the making of deposits or withdrawals hereunder, (3) such cable, telex and fax transmission expenses as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement, (4) such expenses as are incurred by the Depositary in the conversion of foreign currency (5) a fee of US$5.00 or less per 100 ADS (or portion), (6) a fee of US$0.02 or less per ADS (or portion) for any cashdistribution made pursuant to the deposit agreement including, but not limited to, and (7) a fee for the distribution of securities, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADS referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities, but which securities are instead distributed by the Depositary to owners.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

A. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. In connection with the preparation of thisAnnual Report on Form 20-F, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2017. Based upon this evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

B. MANAGEMENT´S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

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

Because of its inherent limitations, Internal Control over Financial Reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our Internal Control over Financial Reporting as of June 30, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our Internal Control over Financial Reporting was effective as of June 30, 2017.

C. ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017 has been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L, Buenos Aires Argentina- member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited-, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

D. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the year ended June 30, 2017, to integrate the acquisition of IDBD into our financial reporting system, we have made several enhancements to our consolidation process including the implementation of new sub-consolidation policies and procedures at our Operations Center in Israel level. We also enhanced our accounting policies, procedures and reporting manuals to provide additional guidance to our newly incorporated subsidiaries. These changes that we implemented to our internal controls aimed at strengthening our internal controls necessary for the integration of IDBD and its subsidiaries that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On August 26, 2008, our Board of Directors decided to establish a share repurchase plan (the “2009 Plan”) under the provisions of the former Section 68 of the Law No. 17,811 (as amended by the transparency decree), currently amended and restated by the Capital Markets Law, in order to help reduce the decline and fluctuations of the price of our shares in the market.

During the fiscal year 2009, under the 2009 Plan, we purchased 30,000,000 common shares, for which we paid US$21.0 million and Ps.1.7 million, thus fulfilling the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan. As a result, by the end of the fiscal year 2009 our investment in our own shares amounted to 5.98% of total capital stock.

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share (Ps.)	Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of the Publicly Announced Plan	Maximum Number of Shares that may yet be purchased under the plan

In addition, during November 2009, our Board of Directors, in accordance with the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting dated October 29, 2009, decided to initiate the process of distribution among the shareholders, on a pro rata basis, of 25,000,000 common shares, repurchased under the 2009 Plan. The allotment of shares was calculated over the outstanding capital stock up to October 29, 2009 of Ps.471,538,610 (0.05301792784 shares per ADR). As a result of the calculation of the allotment, the fractions were settled in cash. 754 shares were not distributed.

Such repurchases were made with our liquid and realized profits and free reserves. As of November 14, 2014, we finalized the 2014 Plan having repurchased a total of 8,633,316 shares, equivalent to 1.72% of the share capital, by a total of Ps.87.1 million.

This section is not applicable.

Item 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Compliance with NASDAQ listing standards on corporate governance

Significant differences between our corporate governance practices and U.S. companies’ practices under NASDAQ Rules:

Our corporate governance practices are governed by the applicable Argentine law; particularly, the Argentine Corporations Law, the Capital Markets Law and the rules of the CNV, as well as by ours by-laws.

We have securities that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are listed on the NASDAQ, and are therefore subject to corporate governance requirements applicable to NASDAQ-listed non-US companies (a “NASDAQ-listed” company).

Pursuant to NASDAQ Rule 5615(a)(3), NASDAQ -listed non-U.S. companies that are categorized as “Foreign Private Issuers” may follow home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the corporate governance requirements provided in NASDAQ Rules, provided that the foreign private issuer complies with certain mandatory sections of NASDAQ Rules, discloses each requirement that it does not follow and describes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirement. The requirements of the NASDAQ Rules and the Argentine corporate governance practices that we follow in lieu thereof are described below:

323

NASDAQ Standards for U.S. companies	Cresud’S CORPORATE PRACTICES
Rule 5250(d) - Distribution of Annual and Interim Reports.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5250(d) , we follow Argentine law, which requires that companies issue publicly a Spanish language annual report, including annual Audited Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Argentina, by filing such annual report with the CNV and the stock exchange in which the securities are listed, within 70 calendar days following the close of our fiscal year. Interim reports must be filed with the CNV and the stock exchange in which the securities are listed within 42 calendar days following the close of each fiscal quarter. We provide our shareholders a copy of the annual and interim financial reports upon request. English language translations of our annual reports and interim reports are filed with the SEC on Form 20-F and Form 6-K, respectively. We also send the English language translation of our annual report and quarterly press releases on its website. Furthermore, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, dated as of March 18, 1997, among us, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, and owners of ADSs issued thereunder, we are required to furnish The Bank of New York Mellon with, among other things, English language translations of their annual reports. Annual reports are available for inspection by ADR holders at the offices of The Bank of New York located at, 101 Barclay Street, 22 Floor, New York, New York. Finally, Argentine law requires that 20 calendar days before the date of a shareholders’ meeting, the board of directors must provide to our shareholders, at our executive office or through electronic means, all information relevant to the shareholders’ meeting, including copies of any documents to be considered by the shareholders (which includes the annual report).
Rule 5605(b)(1) - Majority of Independent Directors.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(b)(1), we follow Argentine law which does not require that a majority of the board of directors be comprised of independent directors. Argentine law instead requires that public companies in Argentina, such as, us must have a sufficient number of independent directors to be able to form an audit committee of at least three members, the majority of which must be independent pursuant to the criteria established by the CNV.
Rule 5605(b)(2) - Executive Sessions of the Board of Directors.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(b)(2), we follow Argentine law which does not require independent directors to hold regularly scheduled meetings at which only such independent directors are present (i.e., executive sessions). Our board of directors as a whole is responsible for monitoring our affairs. In addition, under Argentine law, the board of directors may approve the delegation of specific responsibilities to designated directors or non-director managers of the Company. Also, it is mandatory for public companies to form a supervisory committee (composed of “syndics”) which is responsible for monitoring our legal compliance under Argentine law and compliance with our by-laws. Finally, our audit committee has regularly scheduled meetings and, as such, such meetings will serve a substantially similar purpose as executive sessions.
Rule 5605(d)(B) - Compensation of Officers.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(d)(B), we follow Argentine law which does not require companies to form a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors. For the determination of the compensation of the chief executive officer and all other executive officers no decision of a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors is required under Argentine law. Under Argentine law, the board of directors is the corporate body responsible for determining the compensation of the chief executive officer and all other executive officers, so long as they are not directors. In addition, under Argentine law, the audit committee shall give its opinion about the reasonableness of management’s proposals on fees and option plans for our directors or managers.
Rule 5605(e) - Nomination of Directors.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(e), we follow Argentine law which requires that directors be nominated directly by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting and that they be selected and recommended by the shareholders themselves. Under Argentine law, it is the responsibility of the ordinary shareholders’ meeting to appoint and remove directors and to set their compensation.
Rule 5605(c)(1) - Audit Committee Charter.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605(c)(1), we follow Argentine law which requires that audit committees have a charter but does not require that companies certify as to the adoption of the charter nor does it require an annual review and assessment thereof. Argentine law instead requires that companies prepare a proposed plan or course of action with respect to those matters which are the responsibility of our audit committee. Such plan or course of action could, at the discretion of our audit committee, include a review and assessment of the audit committee charter. We believe that we are in compliance with the requirements for audit committee charters provided for in the Sarbanes Oxley Act.
Rule 5605(c)(2) - Audit Committee Composition.	Argentine law does not require that companies have an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors and it is equally not customary business practice in Argentina to have such a committee. Argentine law instead requires that companies establish an audit committee with at least three members comprised of a majority of independent directors as defined by Argentine law. Nonetheless, although not required by Argentine law, we have a three member audit committee comprised of entirely independent directors in accordance with Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1) of the General rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as independence is defined in Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1). Further, Argentinelaw does not require companies to identify or designate a financial expert. As such, Although all the members of the audit committee have large corporate experience, as of the date of this annual report, the Board of Directors have not named designated a financial expert in accordance with the relevant SEC ruleson the audit committee. Although it is noted that all members of the audit committee have had significant corporate experience. In addition, we have a supervisory committee ( “comisión fiscalizadora” ) composed of three ‘syndics’ which are in charge of monitoring the legality, under Argentine law, of the actions of our board of directors and the conformity of such actions with our by-laws.
Rule 5620(c) - Quorum.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 4350(f), we follow Argentine law and our bylaws, which distinguish between ordinary meetings and extraordinary meetings and both of them can be celebrated using teleconference technology, as long as the regulations related to accreditation, registration and quorum are complied with and the simultaneity of the shareholders and immediately of the process of verbal communication and issuance of votes is guaranteed. The supervisory committee shall state the regularity of the resolutions adopted. The board of directors shall establish the rules and technical matters related to remote participation pursuant to the current rules and in conformity with the National Exchange Commission regulations. Shareholders physically present at the time and those using teleconference technologies will be taken into consideration for the quorum. In connection with ordinary meetings, a quorum consists of a majority of stocks entitled to vote. If no quorum is present at the first meeting, a second meeting may be called, in which the shareholders present or communicated through teleconference technologies, regardless of their number, constitute a quorum. Resolutions may be adopted by an absolute majority of the votes present or communicated through teleconference technologies. Argentine law, and our bylaws, requires in connection with extraordinary meetings, that a quorum consist of 60% of the stock entitled to vote. However, if such quorum is not present at the first meeting, our bylaws provide that a second meeting may be called and maybe held with the number of shareholders present or communicated through teleconference technologies. In both ordinary and extraordinary meetings, decisions are adopted by an absolute majority of votes present at the meeting or communicated through teleconference technologies, except for certain fundamental matters (such as mergers and spin-offs (when we are not the surviving entity and the surviving entity is not listed on any stock exchange), anticipated liquidation, change in its domicile outside of Argentina, total or partial recapitalization of its statutory capital following a loss, any transformation in our corporate legal form or a substantial change in our corporate purpose, or the issue of bonds) which require an approval by vote of the majority of all the stock entitled to vote (all stock being entitled to only one vote).
Rule 5620(b) -- Solicitation of Proxies.	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5620(b), we follow Argentine law which requires that notices of shareholders’ meetings be published, for five consecutive days, in the Official Gazette and in a widely published newspaper in Argentina no earlier than 45 calendar days prior to the meeting and at least 20 calendar days prior to such meeting. In order to attend a meeting and be listed on themeeting registry, shareholders are required to submit evidence of their book-entry share account held at Caja de Valores S.A. up to three business days prior to the scheduled meeting date. If entitled to attend the meeting, a shareholder may be represented by proxy (properly executed and delivered with a certified signature) granted to any other person, with the exception of a director, syndic, member of the Supervisory Committee, manager or employee of the issuer, which are prohibited by Argentine law from acting as proxies. In addition, our ADS holders receive, prior to the shareholders’ meeting, a notice listing the matters on the agenda, a copy of the annual report and a voting card.
Rule 5630(s) -- Conflicts of Interest	In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5630(a), we follow Argentine law which requires that related party transactions be approved by the audit committee when the transaction exceeds one percent (1%) of the corporation’s net worth, measured pursuant to the last audited balance sheet,. Directors can contract with the corporation only on an arm’s length basis. If the contract is not in accordance with prevailing market terms, such transaction must be pre-approved by the board of directors (excluding the interested director). In addition, under Argentine law, a shareholder is required to abstain from voting on a business transaction in which its interests may be in conflict with the interests of the company. In the event such shareholder votes on such business transaction and such business transaction would not have been approved without such shareholder’s vote, such shareholder may be liable to the company for damages and the resolution may be declared void.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Cresud Sociedad Anónima Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2017 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting under Item 15.

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements , on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 2.1(ii) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for investment property from the cost model to the fair value model in 2017.

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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

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 directly principal subsidiary.

Cresud and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Group. See Note 2.3. for a description of the Group’s companies.

IFISA is the parent company and is a corporation established and domiciled in Uruguay, and IFIS Limited is the ultimate parent company.

These Consolidated Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on October 31, 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, 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.

The Group’s business and general information (Continued)

Operations Center in Israel

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Group made an investment in the Israeli market, through DFL and DN B.V., in IDBD -an Israeli company-, with an initial interest of 26.65%. On October 11, 2015, the Group gain control over IDBD (Note 3). As a result, the Group consolidates significant figures of several industries from IDBD and its subsidiaries.

IDBD is one of the Israeli largest and most diversified conglomerates, which is involved, through its subsidiaries and other investments, in several markets and industries, including real estate, supermarkets, insurance, telecommunications, etc.; controlling or holding any equity interest in companies such as Clal (Insurance), Cellcom (Telecommunications), Shufersal (Supermarkets), PBC (Real Estate), among others. IDBD is only listed in the TASE as a “Debentures Company” in accordance with Israeli law, because some of its bonds are trading.

IDBD has certain restrictions and financial covenants in connection with its financial debt, included in its debentures, loans from banks and financial institutions. In relation to IDBD’s financial position, its cash flows and its ability to meet its financial debt commitments, the following should be taken into consideration:

●

Since September 2016, after the sale of Adama and the increase in market value of its subsidiaries, IDBD considers that it is possible to obtain new financing in the market or refinance its actual debts. In this regard, IDBD has recently completed successful issuance of debentures, as mentioned in Note 22. Additionally, it has made early repayments of its financial debt and has managed to renegotiate the related financial restrictions.

●

As mentioned in Note 7 DIC declared dividends, out of which IDBD received approximately NIS 271 (equivalent to approximately Ps. 1,219), net of the exercise of warrants mentioned in Note 3.c.

●

In February 2017, Standard & Poor’s Maalot upgraded the rating of IDBD debentures, from CCC to BB. Subsequently, in July 2017, S&P Maalot increased the rating again to BBB with stable outlook.

●

As mentioned in Note 16, IDBD sold part of its stake in Clal and signed a swap agreement for the future sale.

The Group’s business and general information (Continued)

Given the reasons described above, IDBD considers that it has enough resources to continue operating for at least 12 months after the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

It should be noted that the Board of Directors of IDBD has in place a 24-month cash flow forecast to June 30, 2019, wich assumes that IDBD will receive cash from the realization of private investments directly held by IDBD. As a result, IDBD expects to honor all its liabilities until the second quarter of 2019. Even though consummation of such plans does not depend entirely on factors under its control, IDBD believes it will succeed in finalizing these or other plans.

Based on the foregoing, IDBD’s management considers that there are no material uncertainties regarding its ability to operate as a going concern, given its current financial position and its ability to fulfil its financial commitments in time and in due form and its capacity to carry out its business plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, IDBD expects to pay financial liabilities for NIS 1,413 (equivalent to approximately Ps. 6,641 as of the closing date of these Consolidated Financial Statements) in November 2019, that payment would be affected by factors that are out of IDBD control, such as, its ability to carry out its plans to sell its equity interest in Clal considering the scheme determined by the Capital Market, Insurance and Saving Commission of Israel (“the Commissioner”), the requirements of the Act to Promote Competition and Reduce Concentration (“Concentration Act”) and its ability to deal with the implications of the Concentration Act and to comply with the restrictions set out therein regarding the control of companies through a pyramidal structure (Note 7), among others.

IDBD expects that the consideration to be received from the sale of Clal pursuant to the Commissioner’s scheme, namely the sale of 5% tranches payable every four months, to the extent it is implemented – to be low and even significantly low with respect to a block sale of its controlling interest in Clal. However, even if Clal’s shares will continued to be sold in accordance to the scheme established by the Commissioner, IDBD’s management considers that it would as well have additional sources of cash flows available to obtain funds to pay its commitments in November 2019. IDBD’s management considers that it will be able to pay timely its commitments and continue with its operations. In July 2017, following the end of the fiscal year, IDBD received an initial and non-binding offer from an international group for the possible purchase of all of its equity interests in Clal, for nearly NIS 4.71 billion (or Ps. 22.21 billion). See Note 38.

It should be noted that the financial position of IDBD and its subsidiaries at the operations center in Israel does not adversely affect Cresud´s cash flows to satisfy the debts of Cresud.

(Amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

In addition, the commitments and other covenants resulting from IDBD financial debt do not have impact on Cresud and/or IRSA since such indebtedness has no recourses against Cresud and/or IRSA and it is not guaranteed by Cresud or IRSA's assets.

Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1.

Basis of preparation of the Financial Statements

(i)

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.

Under IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, the Financial Statements of an entity whose functional currency belongs to a hyperinflationary economy, regardless of whether they apply historic cost or current cost methods, should be stated at the current unit of measure as of the date of this Consolidated Financial Statements. For such purpose, in general, inflation is to be computed in non-monetary items from the acquisition or revaluation date, as applicable. In order to determine whether an economy is to be considered hyperinflationary, the standard lists a set of factors to be taken into account, including an accumulated inflation rate near or above 100% over a three year period.

Considering the released inflation data, the declining inflation trend and in view that all other indicators do not lead to a final conclusion, the Board of Directors understands that there is no enough evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy as of June 30, 2017. Therefore, no restatement has been applied on financial information, as set forth by IAS 29, for the current fiscal year.

However, over the last years, certain macroeconomic variables affecting the Company’s business, such as payroll costs and input prices, have experienced significant annual changes. This factor should be taken into consideration in assessing and interpreting the financial condition and results of operations of the Company in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

(Amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

IDBD’s fiscal year ends on December 31 each year and Cresud’s fiscal year ends on June 30. Furthermore, IDBD’s quarterly and annual reporting follows the guidelines of Israeli standards, which means that the information is available after the applicable statutory terms in Argentina. Therefore, is not be able to include IDBD’s quarterly results in its Consolidated Financial Statements to be filed with the CNV within the applicable statutory terms in Argentina. Therefore, IDBD’s results of operations are consolidated with a three-month lag, adjusted by the effects of material transactions that take place during the reported period. Hence, IDBD’s results of operations for the 12-month period beginning April 1 st , 2016 through March 31, 2017 are included in the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, adjusted by such material transactions occurred between April 1 st , 2017 and June 30, 2017. In addition, IDBD’s results of operations for the period beginning October 11, 2015 (the acquisition of control) through March 31, 2016 are included in the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, adjusted by such material transactions occurred between April 1 st , 2016 and June 30, 2016.

(ii)

Recast to Financial Statements previously issued due to change in accounting policies

The Group’s Board of Directors decided to change the accounting policy for investment property from cost model to fair value model, as permitted under IAS 40. The Group considers this change more reliably reflects the current value of its core assets and therefore provides more relevant information to Management, users of the Financial Statements and others.

The Group has therefore retroactively changed the previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as required by IAS 8.

The tables below include reconciliations between the Statements of Comprehensive Income / (operations) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the Statements of Financial Position as of June 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 as they were originally issued, and the current Consolidated Financial Statements (recast). There is no impact on any of the relevant total sums of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

2.2.

New accounting standards

The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been published by the IASB and by the IFRIC. Below we outline the standards, amendments and interpretations that may potentially have an impact on the Group at the time of application.

Amendments to IAS 40 "Transfers of Investment Properties". The amendments clarify the conditions that should be met for an entity to transfer a property to, or from, investment properties. Become effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, that is, fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 for the Group. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its Financial Statements.

Cycle of annual improvements 2014-2016. IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in other entities”. Clarifies the standard scope. Become effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017, that is, fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 for the Group. Earlier adoption is permitted.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

IFRS 16 "Leases". Will supersede IAS 17 currently in force (and associated interpretations) and its scope includes all leases, with a few specific exceptions. Under the new standard, lessees are required to account for leases under one single model in the balance sheet that is similar to the one used to account for financial leases under IAS 17. There are two exceptions to this rule: to recognize the lease of low-cost assets (for example, personal computers) and short-term leases (for example, leases for a 12 month or shorter term). As regards the lease commencement date, the lessee shall recognize the obligation to make rental payments (for example, leases payable) and an asset that represents the right to use the leased asset during the term of the lease agreement (for example, rights of use). There is almost no changes to lessor accounting. Become effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019, that is, fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 for the Group. It may be applied earlier provided IFRS 15 is also adopted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 7 "Statement of cash flows". Amendments provide that the entity shall disclose information so that users of the Financial Statements may assess the changes in liabilities resulting from financing activities, including both cash-flow and non-cash-flow derivatives. Become effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017, that is, fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 for the Group. Comparative information for prior fiscal years is not mandatory. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 "Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses". The amendments clarify the accounting of deferred income tax assets in the case of unrealized losses on instruments measured at fair value. Become effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017, that is, fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 for the Group. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its Financial Statements.

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. Adds a new impairment model based on expected losses and introduces some minor amendments to the classification and measurement of financial assets. The new standard replaces all previous versions of IFRS 9 and becomes effective for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2018, this is, for Financial Statements ended on June 30, 2019 for the Group. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its Financial Statements.

IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”. Replaces IAS 11 “Construction contracts”, IAS 18 “Revenue”, IFRIC 13 “Customer loyalty programs”, IFRIC 15 “Agreements for the construction of real estate”, IFRIC 18 “Transfer of assets from customers” and SIC-31 “Revenues – Barter transactions involving advertising services”. Provides the new revenue recognition model derived from contracts with customers. The core principle underlying the model is satisfaction of obligations assumed with customers. Applies to all contracts with customers, other than those covered by other IFRSs, such as leases insurance and financial instruments contracts. The standard does not address recognition of interest or dividend income. IFRS 15 becomes effective for all fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2018, that is, for Financial Statements ended on June 30, 2019 and may be adopted earlier. Application is retroactive. As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group is assessing the impact that this standard shall have on its financial position and the results of operations.

Amendments to IFRS 2 "Share-based Payment". The amendments clarify the scope of the standard in relation to (i) accounting of the effects that the concession consolidation conditions have on cash settled share-based payments, (ii) the classification of the share-based payment transactions subject to net settlement, and (iii) accounting for the amendment of terms and conditions of the share-based payment transaction that reclassifies the transaction from cash settled to equity settled. Become effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, that is, fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 for the Group. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its Financial Statements.

On the issue date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, there are no other standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB and IFRIC that are yet to become effective and that are expected to have a material effect on the Group.

2.2.1

Adjustment due to change to accounting standards

During the reported year, the Group has adopted the changes to IAS 16 “Property Plant and Equipment” and to IAS 41 “Agriculture” in relation to production plants. These amendments imply changes in accounting policies and have the following impact on the financial situation and results of operations of the Group, already recognized in the Financial Statements.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

On June 2014, the International Accounting Standards Board issued the amendments to IAS 16 “Property, plant and equipment” and to IAS 41 “Agriculture” whereby it distinguished between bearer plants and other biological assets. Production plants are solely used for product development and its operation is similar to that of manufacturing machinery. As a result, amendments require bearer plants to be accounted for as property, plant and equipment and covered by IAS 16, rather than IAS 41. However, the produce growing on bearer plants will continued to be governed by IAS 41 and will continue to be valued at fair value minus selling costs.

Group's sugarcane fields are recognized as bearer plants under the new definition included in IAS 41. Under IAS 8, modifications are to be applied retrospectively; therefore, the sugarcane field will be reclassified under "Property, plant and equipment" and valued at depreciated cost as from July 1, 2016, with comparative balances being revised retrospectively. Sugarcane fields are depreciated over its useful life under the balance declining method based on the expected yield.

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 analyze 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 costs are charged to expense 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 acquiree’s net assets. The Group chooses the method to be used on a case by case base.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquire and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquire over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the Statements of Income as “Bargain purchase gains”.

The Group conducts its business through several holding and operating companies, the principal companies are listed below:

DIC considers it exercises effective control over Cellcom because DIC is the group with the higher percentage of votes vis-à-vis other shareholders, also taking into account the historic voting performance in the Shareholders’ Meetings.

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 – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The recorded value corresponds to is the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and/or receive and the relevant share acquired and/or transferred of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary.

(c)

Disposal of subsidiaries with loss of control

When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured at its fair value at the date when control is lost, with changes in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(d)

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, representing an interest of between 20% at least 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, except as otherwise indicated as explained below. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.

IAS 28 “Investments in Associates” provides an exemption from applying the equity method where investments in associates are held through “Venture Capital Organizations” (VCO) or venture capital entities, as defined in Spanish, even when the Group is not a VCO. This type of investment may be accounted for at fair value with changes in net income for the years because such measure proves to be more useful to users of Financial Statements than the equity method.

As of each year-end or upon the existence of evidence of impairment, a determination is made as to whether there is any objective indication of impairment in the value of the investments in associates. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associates and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to "Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures" in the Statements of Income.

(e)

Joint arrangements

Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group and other party or parties have joint control bound by a contractual arrangement. Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint ventures or joint operations depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.

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 Statement of Financial Position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses in the Statements of Income and in other comprehensive income respectively.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment amount in the joint ventures is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the difference to "Share of profit / (loss) of associates and joint ventures" in the Statement of Income.

Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker, responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of them. 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 finance costs and finance income, as appropriate, unless they are capitalized.

Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(i)

Assets, liabilities and goodwill for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that financial position;

(ii)

Income and expenses for each Statement of Comprehensive Income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

(iii)

All resulting exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2.6.

Investment properties

Investment properties are those properties owned by the Group that are held either to earn long-term rental income or for capital appreciation, or both, and that 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 land whose future use has not been determined yet as investment properties.

The Group’s investment properties primarily comprise the Group’s portfolio of shopping malls and offices, farmland leased out to third parties, 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.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating.

Direct expenses related to lease contract negotiation (such as payment to third parties for services rendered and certain specific taxes related to execution of such contracts) are capitalized as part of the book value of the relevant investment properties and amortized over the term of the lease.

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. The 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 when 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, for the Operations center in Argentina, 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.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

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 for the Operations center in Israel is based on discounted cash flow projections.

As required by CNV Ruling 576/10 of the, 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 of the item 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 from changes in fair value of investment properties”.

Asset transfers, whether assets classified as investments properties 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 transactions 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 they are not core to its ongoing rental business activities. 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. Where the Group disposes of a property at fair value in an arm’s length transaction, the carrying value immediately prior to the sale is adjusted to the transaction price, and the adjustment is recorded in the other comprehensive income statement in the line “Net gain from fair value adjustment of investment properties”.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The disposal of investment property are recognized when the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer. As for unconditional agreements, proceeds are recognized when legal title to property passes to the buyer and the buyer intends to make the respective payment therefor. In the case of conditional agreements, the disposal is accounted for where such conditions have 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, net" in the Statement of Income at the time they are incurred.

2.7.

Property, plant and equipment

This category primarily comprises land used for agricultural purposes, buildings or portions of a building used for administrative and corporate 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”.

All property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are stated at acquisition cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. The acquisition cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

These costs may include the cost of improving or replacing parts that are eligible for capitalization. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the Statements of Income during the year in which they are incurred. 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, 2017 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, assets are reviewed for any sign of impairment to its recoverable value, and/or residual useful life of the assets. If there are any indicators of impairment, the recoverable amount and/or the useful life of the impaired assets is estimated, and then they are adjusted, if applicable. On the balance sheet date, the residual useful life of assets is estimated and adjusted, if necessary. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains from the sale of these assets are recognized when the significant risks and rewards have transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place on unconditional exchange, generally when legal title passes to the buyer and it is probable that the buyer will pay. For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds, 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.

2.8.

Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement.

A Group company is the lessor:

Properties leased out to tenants under operating leases are included in “Investment properties” in the Statement of Financial Position. See Note 2.23 for the recognition of rental income. The Group does not have any assets leased out under finance leases.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

A Group company is the lessee:

The Group has entered into some operating lease agreements, mainly related to farming activities. By virtue of these contracts, the Group leases land open for agricultural exploitation during the harvest year. 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 acts as a lessee in other operating leases, mainly related to agricultural business. 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.

The Group acquires certain specific assets (especially machinery and computer equipment) under finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Capitalized lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. The finance charges will be charged to the Statements of Income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Liabilities corresponding, to leases, measured at discounted value, are included in current and non-current borrowings.

Operating leases where the Group acts as lessee mainly include offices.

2.9.

Intangible assets

(a)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognized by the Group on an acquisition. Goodwill is initially measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquisition and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquisition; and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date.

F-45

Cresud Sociedad Anónima,

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

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, known as cash-generating units (“CGU”). In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognized, the book value of CGU or CGU groups of is compared against its recoverable value. Net book value of CGU and group of CGUs 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.

(b)

Computer software

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 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 a twelve year useful life, while one of the brands have an indefinite useful life and the other ten year useful life.

Right to receive future units under barter agreements

The Group also enters into barter transactions where the Group normally exchanges undeveloped parcels of land with third-party developers for future property to be constructed on the bartered land. The Group generally receives monetary assets as part of the transactions and/or a right to receive future units to be constructed by developers. Such rights are initially recognized at cost (which is the fair value of the land assigned) and such rights are not adjusted later, unless there is any sign of impairment.

At the date of each Statement of Financial Position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to determine whether there is any indicator that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss.

2.10.

Trading properties

Trading properties comprises those properties either intended for sale or in the process of construction for 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 farming activities comprise fertilizers, agrochemicals, vaccines, seeds, feed for livestock and other items. Harvested agricultural produce comprise harvested crops, and raw meat.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

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 in the produce, there is a negligible risk that the produce will not be sold and there is a well-established practice in the industry carrying 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.

(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Expenses relating to the agricultural activity include items as planting, harvesting, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers, veterinary services and others. The Group elected to expense all such costs when incurred and includes them as “Cost of agriculture production” within Costs in the Statements of Income (Note 28). Therefore, “Cost of agriculture production” represents the costs expensed whilst the biological assets are growing.

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 (Note 2.11), or biological assets valued at fair value less costs to sell.

The fair value of a biological asset in its present location and condition is determined based on either 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.

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 they are incurred 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 its financial assets in the following categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured at amortized cost. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is a debt or an equity investment.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Debt investments

A debt investment is classified as “amortized cost” only if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. The nature of any derivatives embedded in the debt investment are considered in determining whether the cash flows of the investment are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and are not accounted for separately.

If either of the two criteria mentioned in the previous paragraph is not met, the debt instrument is classified as “fair value through profit or loss”. The Group has not designated any debt investment as measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Changes in fair values and gains from disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded within “Financial results, net” in the Statements of Income.

Equity investments

All equity investments, which are not subsidiaries, associate companies and joint venture of the Group, are measured at fair value. Equity investments that are held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, the Group can make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. The Group decided to recognize changes in the 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 method to determine ascertain the fair value of a financial instrument upon initial recognition. In the other cases, the Group merely records a gain or a loss upon initial recognition only if the fair value of the instrument is supported by other comparable and observable current market transactions in the same instrument or from other available observable market data. Any gain or loss not recognized upon initial recognition of a financial asset are recognized later, only to the extent that there are changes in the factors (including time) that market participants would consider at the time of agreeing upon a price.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

A gain or loss on a debt instruments that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not identified for hedging purposes are charged to income where the financial assets are derecognized or impaired and through the amortization process under the effective interest rate method. The Group is required to reclassify all affected debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that impairment 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 on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

The Group manages exposures to various risks using hedging instruments that provide the appropriate economic outcome. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To date, the Group has used future contracts, commodities put and call options, foreign currency future and forward contracts and interest rate swaps as deemed appropriate.

The Group’s policy is to apply hedge accounting where it is both permissible under IFRS 9, practical to do so and its application reduces volatility. but transactions that may be effective hedges in economic terms may not always qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. 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.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

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 period.

The stock call options involving shares of subsidiaries agreed at a fixed price are accounted for under shareholders’ equity.

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 where there is objective evidence that the Group may not be able to collect all receivables within their original payment term. 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.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.18.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of costs incurred in the transaction. 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.

2.19.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as finance cost.

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits are lower than the costs of complying with contract obligations. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of expected cost of terminating the contract and the net expected cost of continuing the contract. Before recognizing a provision, the Group recognizes the impairment of the assets related to the mentioned contract.

2.20.

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 expenses 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 providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.

(c)

Bonus plans

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where it is contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(d)

Defined benefit plans

The Group’s net obligation concerning defined benefit plans are calculated on an individual basis for each plan, estimating the future benefits employees have gained in exchange for their services in the current and prior periods. The benefit is disclosed at its present value, net of the fair value of the plan assets. Calculations are made on an annual basis by a qualified actuary.

(e)

Share based payments

The fair value of the equity settled awards is measured at the date of grant. The Group measures the fair value using the valuation technique that it considers to be the most appropriate to value each class of award. Methods used may include Black-Scholes calculations or other models as appropriate. The valuations take into account factors such as non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

The fair value of the share-based payment is expensed and charged to income under the straight-line method over the vesting period in which the right to the equity instrument becomes irrevocable (“vesting period”); such value is based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. Such estimate is revised if subsequent information available indicating that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from original estimates.

(a)

Other long-term benefits

The net obligation of IDBD and its subsidiaries concerning employee long-term benefits, other than retirement plans, is the amount of the future benefits employees have gained in exchange for their services in the current and prior periods. These benefits are discounted at their present values

2.21.

Current income tax, deferred income tax and minimum presumed income tax

Tax expense for the year comprises the charge for tax currently payable and deferred income. Income tax is recognized in the Statements of Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the Statement of Financial Position in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. The Group periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Group establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except otherwise indicated)

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the closing date of the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 closing date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, dividends have been accrued as receivable or a binding agreement to distribute past earnings in future has been entered into by the subsidiary or else, there are sale plans in the foreseeable.

Entities in Argentina are subject to the Minimum Presumed Income Tax. 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, the Group recognizes the MPIT as a current or non-current receivable, as applicable, within “Trade and other receivables” in the Statement of Financial Position.

2.22.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are not included.

Revenue recognition

Group's revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Revenue derived from the sale of goods is recognized when: (a) material risks and benefits derived from title to property have been transferred; (b) the Company does not retain any management function on the assets sold nor does it have any control whatsoever on such assets; (c) the amount of revenues and costs associated to the transaction may be measured on a reliable basis; and (d) the company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction.

Revenue derived from the provision of services is recognized when (a) the amount of revenue and costs associated to the services may be measured on a reliable basis; (b) the Company is expected to accrue the economic benefits associated to the transaction, and (c) the level of completion of services may be measured on a reliable basis.

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 from farmlands.

The Group recognizes 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 from the cultivation bases, collection of the relevant receivable is probable 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.

The Group also provides agricultural-related (including but not limited to watering and feedlot services) and brokerage services to third parties. Revenue from services is recognized as services are 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.

Investment property 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.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

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, being lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are known and can be determined. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.

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 such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the Shopping 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 office leased out under operating leases, income for services and expenses recovery paid by tenant.

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.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

A substantial portion of the Group’s leases require the tenant to reimburse the Group for a substantial portion of operating expenses, usually a proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses. Such property operating expenses includes necessary expenses such as property operating, repairs and maintenance, security, janitorial, insurance, landscaping, leased properties and other administrative expenses, among others. The Group 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 supermarkets

Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business are recognized at the fair value of the consideration collected or receivable, net of returns and discounts. When the credit term is short and financing is that typical in the industry, consideration is not discounted. When the credit term is longer than the industry’s average, in accounting for the consideration, the Group discounts it to its net present value by using the client’s risk premium or the market rate. The difference between the fair value and the nominal amount is accounted for under financial income. If discounts are granted and their amount can be measured reliably, the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue.

Generally, the Group recognizes revenue upon delivery of goods to the client. In international sales, revenue is recognized upon loading goods with the forwarder. Where two or more products are sold under one single contract, the Group separates each component and gives them a separate accounting treatment. The attribution of value to each component is based on the relative fair value of each unit. Should the fair value not be measurable on a reliable basis, then revenue is attributed based on the difference arising between the total amount of the executed contract and the fair value of the goods delivered.

As regards client loyalty programs, the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in relation to the initial sale is allocated across the rewards credits and the other components of the sale. The amount allocated to rewards credits is estimated based on the market value of the goods to be delivered. The fair value of the right to purchase products at a discount is calculated considering the expected exchange ratio and the expected terms. Such amount is deferred and revenue is recognized only where rewards credits are exchanged and the Group has complied with its obligation to provide the products at a discount, or else when such reward credits have expired. The amount of revenue recognized under such circumstances is based on the number of reward credits that have been exchanged for products with discounts, in relation to the total number of reward credits expected to be exchanged. Deferred revenue is then reversed when reward credits are no longer likely to be exchanged.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

In addition, when the Group acts as agent and not as main supplier in a transaction, revenue is recognized at the net amount of commissions. Revenue from commissions is recognized based on transactions conducted by credit card companies at the rate and on the date they are credited. Revenue from credit margins of credit cards is recognized on the date the client is bound to pay and revenue for subscription fees is recognized on a monthly basis.

● Revenue from communication services and sale of communication equipment

Revenue derived from the use of communication networks by the Group, including mobile phones, Internet services, international calls, fixed line calls, interconnection rates and roaming service rates, are recognized when the service is provided, proportionally to the extent the transaction has been realized, and provided all other criteria have been met for revenue recognition.

Revenue from the sale of mobile phone cards are initially recognized as deferred revenue and then recognized as revenue as they are used or upon expiration, whichever takes place earlier.

A transaction involving the sale of equipment to a final user normally also involves a service sale transaction. In general, this type of sale is performed without a contractual obligation by the client to consume telephone services for a minimum amount over a predetermined period. As a result, the Group records the sale of equipment separately and recognizes revenue pursuant to the transaction value upon delivery of the equipment to the client. Revenue from telephone services are recognized and accounted for as they are provided. When the client is bound to make a minimum consumption of services during a predefined period, the contract formalizes a transaction of several elements and, therefore, revenue from the sale of equipment is recorded at an amount that should not exceed its fair value, and is recognized upon delivery of the equipment to the client and provided the criteria for recognition are met. The Group ascertains the fair value of individual elements, based on the price at which it is normally sold, after taking into account the relevant discounts.

Cost of sales

The cost of sales of supermarkets, includes the acquisition costs for the products minus discounts granted by suppliers, as well as all expenses associated with storing and handling inventories. It also includes 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 mainly includes the costs to purchase equipment, salaries and related expenses, service costs, royalties, ongoing license dues, interconnection and roaming expenses, cell tower lease costs, depreciation and amortization expenses and maintenance expenses directly related to the services provided.

2.25.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds from this issuance.

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. Where 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.

Comparability of information

As required by IFRS 3, the information of IDBD is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements as from date of the Group gain effective control, that is from October 11, 2015 and the prior periods were not modified by this situation. Therefore, the consolidated financial information for periods after the acquisition is not comparable with prior periods. Additionally, results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 includes 12 full months of result form IDBD, for the period beginning April 1 st , 2016 through March 31, 2017, while results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 include the income posted by such subsidiary for the period beginning October 11, 2015 through March 31, 2016; both adjusted for significant transactions that took place between April 1 st , and June 30, 2016 and 2017, such as change in fair value of financial instruments, issuance of debentures, sale of significant assets, transactions with non-controlling shareholders, and any other significant transaction. Hence, the result for the reported periods are not comparable.

Furthermore, during the fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the Argentine Peso devalued against the US Dollar and other currencies that accounted for approximately 11% and 65%, which has an impact in comparative information presented in the Financial Statements, due mainly to the currency exposure of our income and costs from the "offices and other properties" segment, and our assets and liabilities in foreign currency.

Certain items from prior fiscal years have been reclassified for consistency purposes. The loans granted to associates and joint ventures, with features of long-term investments, are considered part of the investment in such associates and joint ventures; as a result, financial income derived from those loans have been reclassified to present them net, with the share of profit of associates and joint ventures in the amount of Ps. 161. The group considers that is more accurate and provides more relevant information to users of Financial Statements.

Irrevocable right of use of the capacity of underground communication lines

Transactions carried out to acquire an irrevocable right of use of the capacity of underground 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.

During March 2017, IDBD exercised all of DIC’s Series 5 and 6 warrants for nearly NIS 210 (approximately equivalent to Ps. 882 as of that date), thereby increasing its direct interest in DIC to nearly 70% of such company’s share capital as of that date and the Group's equity interest to 79.47%. Subsequently, third parties not related to the Group, exercised their warrants, thus diluting the Group’s interest in DIC to 77.25%.

IDBD

Control obtainment

On May 2014, the Group, acting indirectly through Dolphin, acquired jointly with ETH an aggregate number of 106.6 million common shares in IDBD, representing 53.30% of its stock capital, under the scope of the debt restructuring of IDBH, IDBD's parent company, with its creditors (the "Arrangement"). Under the terms of the agreement entered into, Dolphin acquired a 50% interest in this investment, and ETH acquired the remaining 50% (the "Shareholders' Agreement). The initial total investment amount was NIS 950, equivalent to approximately US$ 272 at the exchange rate prevailing on that date. On May 2015, ETH launched the BMBY mechanism provided in the Shareholders’ Agreement, clause, which establishes that each party of the Shareholders’ Agreement may offer to the counterparty to acquire (or sell, as the case may be), the shares it holds in IDBD at a fixed price. In June 2015, Dolphin gave notice to ETH of its intention to buy all the shares of IDBD held by ETH.

After certain aspects of the offer were resolved through an arbitration process initiated by the parties, on September 24, 2015, the competent arbitrator resolved that: (i) Dolphin and IFISA (related Company to the Group) were entitled to act as buyers in the BMBY process, and consequently; (ii) the buyer would have the obligation to fulfill all of the commitments included in the seller’s Arrangement, including the commitment to carry out the Tender Offers; (iii) the buyer might pledged in favor of the Arrangement Trustees the shares that the seller had pledged to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is an arbitration process going on between Dolphin and ETH in relation to certain issues connected to the control obtainment of IDBD. As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, there are no other news in relation to the process which is still pending (Note 7).

On October 11, 2015, the BMBY process concluded, and IFISA acquired all IDBD's shares of stock held by ETH (92,665,925 shares) at a price of NIS 1.64 per share. Consequently, the Shareholders' Agreement ceased and members of IDBD's Board of Directors representing ETH submitted their irrevocable resignation to the Board, therefore Dolphin was hence empowered to appoint the new members to the Board. Additionally, on the same date, Dolphin pledged the additional shares acquired.

Acquisitions and disposals (Continued)

Later on, following the exercise of the BMBY, Dolphin entered into an option agreement with IFISA that grants Dolphin the right, but not the obligation, to acquire 92,665,925 shares in IDBD, which IFISA acquired in the BMBY process at a price of NIS 1.64 per share plus an annual interest rate of 8.5%. The exercise date for the option extends for two years. Additionally, Dolphin is entitled to a first refusal right in case that IFISA agrees to sell these shares to a third party. The option has no value as of June 30, 2017 and 2016.

As a consequence, the Group gained control of IDBD and started to Consolidate Financial Statements as from that date. The following chart shows the consideration, the fair value of the acquired assets, the assumed liabilities and the non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date.

The group asses the fair value of the investment property with the assistance of qualified independent appraisers. As of the acquisition date, the Group estimates that the recognized assets are recoverable. The value of the non-controlling interest in IDBD has been determined on a proportional basis to the fair value of net acquired assets and the fair value of warrants.

Following the control of IDBD, the cumulative cumulative translation accumulated in equity from the interest held in IDBD before the business combination in the amount of Ps. 143 was recognized in the Statement of Income. Such result was disclosed under "Other operating results, net" line in the Statement of Income.

The revenues IDBD has generated since October 11, 2015 and that have been disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Income amount to Ps. 28,229. IDBD has also run a net result of Ps. (1,643) during said period. If IDBD had been included in the consolidation since July 1st, 2015, the Group's Consolidated Statement of Income would have shown pro-forma revenues in the amount of Ps. 49,637 and pro-forma net result of Ps. (1,651).

Acquisition of non-controlling interest

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

(i)

Replacement of the obligation to conduct tender offers, Dolphin acquired all the shares outstanding on March 29, 2016 from non-controlling shareholders of IDBD (except for those held by IFISA) on March 31, 2016. The price paid for each IDBD share held by non-controlling shareholders was NIS 1.25 per share in cash plus NIS 1.20 per share in bonds of the IDBD Series 9 (the “IDBD Bonds”), which IDBD will issue directly to non-controlling shareholders and holders of warrants. Additionally, Dolphin undertaked to pay NIS 1.05 per share (subject to adjustments) in cash if Dolphin, either directly or indirectly, gain control of Clal (more than 30%), or else if IDBD sells a controlling shareholding in Clal (more than 30% to a third party) under certain parameters (the “payment by Clal”), which refers mainly to Clal’s sale price (at a price which exceeds 75% of its book value upon execution of the sale agreement, subject to adjustments) and, under certain circumstances, the proportion of Clal shares sold by IDBD. It is worth noting that, the obligation to make such contingent payment will only expire if the sale of a controlling interest is completed (more than 30% to a third party), or if Dolphin obtains the control permission from Clal.

(ii)

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

(iii)

Dolphin compromised that would provide IDBD a total amount of NIS 515 through several subordinated loans for a total amount of NIS 348.5 in addition to the issuance of IDBD Bonds in the amount of NIS 166.8, which were used to comply with the liabilities mentioned in (ii). The subordinated loans have the following features: (a) it is subordinated, even in the case of insolvency, to all current or future debts of IDBD; (b) will be reimbursed after payment of all the debts to their creditors; (c) accrues interest at a rate of 0.5%, which will be added to the amount of the debt and will be payable only on the date the subordinated debt is amortized; (d) Dolphin will not have a right to participate or vote in the meetings with IDBD creditors with respect to the subordinated debt; (e) as from January 1, 2016, Dolphin has the right, at its own discretion, to convert the debt balance into IDBD shares, at that time, whether wholly or partially, including the interest accrued over the debt until that date; (f) if Dolphin opt to exercise the conversion, the debt balance will be converted so that Dolphin will receive IDBD shares according to a share price that will be 10% less than the average price of the last 30 days prior to the date the conversion option is exercised. In the event there is no market price per share, this will be determined in accordance with an average of three valuations made by external or independent experts, who shall be determined it by mutual consent and, in the event of a lack of consent, they will be set by the President of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel.

(iv)

Dolphin had to pledge 28% of its IDBD shares, as well as all rights in relation to the subordinated loan granted in the amount of NIS 210 in December 2015, until the payment obligation to Clal has been completed or has expired, after which the pledge will be discharged. Should new shares be issued by IDBD, Dolphin will have to pledge additional shares until completing the 28% of all IDBD share capital. This pledge replaces the pre-existing pledge.

(v)

Dolphin agreed not to exercise its right to convert the subordinated loans into shares of IDBD until the pledge described above has been released.

As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements , the only outstanding payment is that owed to Clal, in the event that the described conditions are met . Besides, Dolphin is bound to exercise its warrants in the event the following conditions occur jointly: (i) an agreement is reached to renegotiate the debt covenants of IDBD and its subsidiaries and (ii) control over Clal is secured. If both situations take place, the obligation would amount to NIS 391. The warrants mature on February 10, 2018.

Financial risk management and fair value estimates

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risk: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, indexing risk due to specific clauses and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. Within the Group, risk management functions are conducted in relation to financial risks associated to financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during a certain period or as of a specific date.

The general risk management policies of the Group and 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.

4.1 Risk management in the Agricultural Business:

The risks management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks. Financial risks are risks arising from financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during or at the end of the reporting year. Financial risk comprises market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

The Group’s diverse activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks in the normal course of business. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the Group’s capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control the Group’s financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on its internal management risk policies.

4.1 Risk management in the Agricultural Business (Continued)

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, interest bearing assets and liabilities, other financial liabilities, other investments and derivative financial instruments. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies.

The Group’s management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments. The Group has established a Risk Committee, comprising Senior Management and a member of 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.

This section provides a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks and uncertainties, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

(a)

Market risk management

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group’s market risks arise from open positions in foreign currencies, interest-bearing assets and liabilities, commodity price risk and equity securities price risks, to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements. Management 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.

Financial risk management and fair value (Continued)

4.1 Risk management in the Agricultural Business (Continued)

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. A significant majority of the activity of these subsidiaries is conducted in such 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 borrowing in foreign currencies, or other methods, considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.

Financial instruments are considered sensitive to foreign exchange rates when they are not in the functional currency of the entity that holds them. The following table shows the net carrying amounts of its financial instruments denominated in US$, broken down by functional currency in which the Company operates, for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The amounts are presented in Argentine Pesos, the presentation currency of the Group:

	Net monetary position (Liability)/Asset	Net monetary position (Liability)/Asset	Net monetary position (Liability)/Asset
	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2015 (recast)
Functional currency	US$	US$	US$
Argentine Peso	(5,240 )	(3,528 )	(1,618 )
Brazilian Reais	198	268	153
Bolivian Peso	52	(127 )	(107 )
Total	(4,990 )	(3,387 )	(1,572 )

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, 2017, 2016 and 2015 for an amount of Ps. 499, Ps. 399 and Ps. 157, 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 forward foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk. As of June 30, 2017 the Group has future exchanges contract pending for an amount of Ps. 9 (liability). As of June 30, 2016 the Group had future exchanges contract opened for an amount of Ps. 25 (asset) and Ps. 12 (liability). As of June 30, 2015 there were future exchanges contract pending for an amount of Ps. 10 (liability).

4.1 Risk management in the Agricultural Business (Continued)

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 23). 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 movements that could adversely impact its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowings covenants.

The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk exposure by different hedging instruments, including but not being 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 years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would decrease profit before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, in Ps. 58.9, Ps. 78.7 and Ps. 18, respectively. A 1% decrease in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Income. The table below shows the Group’s sensitivity to interest rate risks.

4.1 Risk management in the Agricultural Business (Continued)

This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view of this market risk sensitivity of certain of the Group’s financial instruments. The actual impact of the interest rate changes on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.

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 50% 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.

Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. Credit limits have been established to ensure that the Group deals only with approved counterparties and that counterparty concentration risk is addressed and the risk of loss is mitigated. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the Group.

The Group is subject to credit risk arising from deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments of surplus cash balances, the use of derivative financial instruments and from outstanding receivables. Credit risk is managed on a country-by-country basis. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk.

The Group’s policy is to manage credit exposure to deposits, short-term investments and other financial instruments by maintaining diversified funding sources in various financial institutions. All the institutions that operate with the Group are well known because of their experience in the market and high quality credit. 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 Statement of Financial Position.

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.

4.1 Risk management in the Agricultural Business (Continued)

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 feed lot 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 19%, 39% and 24% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 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 and Bolivia. However, Argentina and Brazil together concentrate more than 93%, 87% and 88% of the Group’s grain production for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the grain production in Bolivia has not been significant representing only 7%, 7% and 9% 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, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 39%, 34% and 27% 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 milk production is also based in Argentina. The Group has historically sold its entire milk production to Mastellone Hnos. S.A., which is the largest dairy company in Argentina. Sales to Mastellone amounted to Ps. 66, Ps. 65 and Ps. 72 for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing 2%, 2% and 3% of the Group’s agricultural consolidated revenue for those years, respectively, and 0.1%, 0.2% and 1% of the Group’s total revenues in the respective years. Although sales are concentrated, the Group does not believe that significant credit risk exists at the reporting period due to the high credit rating of Mastellone. As milk is a perishable product there is no ability for the Group to mitigate pricing risk through inventory management. The Group negotiates the prices of raw milk on a monthly basis in accordance with domestic supply and demand. Prices for milk are based on a large number of factors including fat and protein content, bacteria levels and temperature. However, dairy prices have historically tended to have reasonable correlation with prices of agricultural inputs such as feed and fertilizer, and the Group monitors these relationships in order to adapt its tactics to suit.

The Group’s sugarcane production is based in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Bolivia. Brazil concentrates more than 98%, 89% and 95% of the Group's total sugarcane production as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Currently, the Group has a farm in Brazil dedicated to sugar production and the entire output is sold to a third-party, ETHB, under an exclusive agreement dated March 2008. ETHB is the largest ethanol producer in Brazil. Under the agreement, ETHB is contractually obligated to purchase the entire production of two crop cycles of sugarcane comprising six agricultural years with five cuts, with the possibility of extending them for another full agricultural cycle upon prior agreement of the parties. The duration of each cycle may be extended if the parties wish to do so. Currently, the Group is selling to ETHB at market price. Sales to ETHB amounted to Ps. 336, Ps. 256 and Ps. 178 for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing 9%, 9% and 8% of the Group’s agricultural consolidated revenue for those years, respectively. Although sales are concentrated, the Group does not believe that significant credit risk exists at the reporting period due to the high credit rating of ETHB.

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 17.

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 Statement of Financial Position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources.

The Group monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow; debt maturity; and interest rate exposure. The Group also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates and changes in property values on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.

The Group’s debt and derivative positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. The Group maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium- to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed in accordance with Group’s needs, by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities, as appropriate.

The tables below show financial liabilities, including Group’s derivative financial liabilities groupings based on the remaining period at the Statement 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 Statement of Financial Position. However, undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the Statement of Financial Position, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The tables include both interest and principal flows.

4.1 Risk management in the Agricultural Business (Continued)

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 by taking out insurance.

The Group’s strategy is to maintain key financing metrics namely, net debt to total equity ratio (gearing) and loan-to-value ratio (Debt ratio) to ensure that asset level performance is translated into enhanced returns for shareholders whilst maintaining an appropriate risk reward balance to accommodate changing financial and operating market cycles.

The following table details the key metrics in relation to managing its capital structure of the Group. The levels of these metrics are within the ranges established by the Group’s strategy.

	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2016 (recast)
Gearing ratio (i)	23.31 %	21.41 %	32.09 %
Debt ratio (ii)	74.08 %	72.64 %	66.15 %

(i)

Calculated as total debt over total capital (including equity plus total debt).

(ii)

Calculated as total debt over total properties at fair value (including trading properties, properties, plant and equipment, investment properties, farmland rights to receive units under barter agreements).

Other non-financial risks

Nature risk:

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.

4.2 Risk management in the Urban Properties and investment business in Argentina:

The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks. Financial risks are risks arising from financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during or at the end of the reporting period. Financial risk comprises market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

The Group’s diverse activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks in the normal course of business. The Group’s overall risk management policity focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the Group’s capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control the Group’s financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on its internal management risk policies.

The Group’s management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments. The Group has established a Risk Committee which was detailed in Note 4.1.

4.2 Risk management in the Urban Properties and investment business in Argentina (Continued)

This section provides a description of the principal risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

The analysis of sensitivities to market risks included below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the factors may be correlated – for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.

This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view. The actual impact on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.

(f)

Market risk management

The market risk is the risk of changes in the market price of financial instruments with whom the Group operates. The Group’s market risks arise from open positions in foreign currencies, interest-bearing assets and liabilities and equity securities of certain companies, to the extent that these are exposed to market value movements. The Group sets limits on the exposure to these risks that may be accepted, which are monitored on a regular basis.

Foreign exchange risk and associated derivative financial instruments

As mentioned in Note 4.1, the Group publishes its Consolidated Financial Statements in Argentine pesos but conducts operations and holds positions in other currencies. As a result, the Group is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk through exchange rate movements, which affect the value of the Group’s foreign currency positions. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

The real estate, commercial and/or financial activities of the Group's subsidiaries in the operations center in Argentina have as functional currency the Argentine Peso. A significant majority of the business activities of these subsidiaries is conducted in that currency, thus not exposing the Group to foreign exchange risk. Other Group's subsidiaries have other functional currencies, principally US dollar. In the ordinary course of business, the Group, through its subsidiaries, transacts in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. These transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars and New Israeli Shekel. Net financial position exposure to the functional currencies is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by entering into foreign currency derivative instruments and/or by borrowings in foreign currencies, or other methods, considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.

4.2 Risk management in the Urban Properties and investment business in Argentina (Continued)

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 table shows the net carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments nominated in US$ and NIS broken down by functional currency in which the Company operates, for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The amounts are presented in Argentine Pesos, the presentation currency of the Group:

	Net monetary position (Liability)/Asset
Functional currency	June 30, 2017		June 30, 2016 (recast)		June 30, 2015 (recast)
	US$	NIS	US$	NIS	US$	NIS
Argentine Peso	(11,436 )	-	(5,370 )	-	(2,576 )	-
Uruguayan Peso	(131 )	-	6	-	(67 )	-
US Dollar	-	1	-	(7 )	-	(254 )
Total	(11,567 )	1	(5,364 )	(7 )	(2,643 )	(254 )

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 an additional net loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2017 for an amount of Ps. 1,157 (Ps. 536 in 2016 and Ps. 264 in 2015). 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 in its operations center Argentina, also uses derivative, such as forward exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk. As of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the Group has future exchanges contract pending, for an amount of US$ 12.9, US$ 21.0 and US$ 15.0, respectively, which book value amounted to Ps. 14.9, Ps. (2.9) and Ps. (7.5), respectively.

Interest rate risk

As explained in Note 4.1, 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 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, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

4.2 Risk management in the Urban Properties and investment business in Argentina (Continued)

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, 2017, in the amount of Ps. 6.6 (Ps. 13.7 in 2016 and Ps. 8.7 in 2015). A decrease 1 % in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Income.

Other price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk or derivative financial instruments because of investments held in entities that are publicly traded, which were classified on the Consolidated Statement 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, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the total value of Group´s investments in shares and derivative financial instruments of public companies, in the operations center Argentina, amounts to Ps. 300, Ps. 822 and Ps. 437, respectively.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% decrease in quoted prices of equity securities and in derivative financial instruments portfolio at year-end would generate a loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2017 of Ps. 24 (Ps. 87 in 2016 and Ps. 250 in 2015). An increase of 10% on these prices would have an equal and opposite effect in the Statement of Income.

(g)

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.

4.2 Risk management in the Urban Properties and investment business in Argentina (Continued)

The Group’s policy 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 Statement of Financial Position.

Trade receivables related to leases and services provided by the Group represent a diversified tenant base and account for 15%, 22% and 55% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Group has specific policies to ensure that rental contracts are transacted with counterparties with appropriate credit quality. The majority of the Group’s shopping 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 account 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 Note 17 for details.

On the other hand, property receivables related to the sale of trading properties represent 0.8%, 0.4% and 8% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Payments on these receivables have generally been received when due. These receivables are generally secured by mortgages on the properties. Therefore, the credit risk on outstanding amounts is considered very low.

The following table details the key metrics in relation to managing its capital structure of the Group. The levels of these metrics are within the ranges established by the Group’s strategy.

	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2015 (recast)

Property risk

There are several risks affecting the Group’s property investments. The composition of the Group’s property portfolio including asset concentration and lot size may affect liquidity and relative property performance. The Group has a large multi-asset portfolio and monitors its concentration and average property plot of land size.

4.2 Risk management in the Urban Properties and investment business in Argentina (Continued)

A change in trends and economic conditions causes shifts in customer demands for properties with impact on new lettings, renewal of existing leases and reduced rental growth. Also changes increase risk of tenant insolvencies. The Group conducts several actions to mitigate some of these risks whenever possible. The variety of asset types and geographical spread as well as a diversified tenant base, with monitoring of its concentration, helps mitigating these risks.

The development, administration and profitability of Shopping malls are impacted by various factors including: the accessibility and the attractiveness of the area where the shopping mall is located, the intrinsic attractiveness of them, the flow of people, the level of sales of each rental unit, the increasing competition from internet sales, the amount of rent collected from each rental unit and the fluctuations in occupancy levels. In the event that there is an increase in operational costs, caused by inflation or other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group if its tenants are unable to pay their higher rent obligations due to the increase in expenses. Civil and Commercial Code of the Nation provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six months upon not less than sixty days written notice, subject to penalties of only one-and-a-half month rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of the lease, and one-month rent if the tenant rescinds during the second year of the lease. The exercise of such rescission rights could materially and adversely affect the Group.

Risks associated with development properties activities include the following: a) the potential abandonment of development opportunities; b) construction costs exceeding original budgets, possibly making a project uneconomical; c) occupancy rates and rents at newly completed projects may be insufficient to make the project profitable. On the other hand, a) the Group may not be able to obtain project financing on favorable terms for the development of the project; b) construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs; c) the Group may not be able to obtain, or may delay in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations; d) preconstruction buyers may default on their purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon completion of constructions and e) prices for residential units may be insufficient to cover development cost. The Group also takes several actions to monitor these risks and respond appropriately whenever it is under its control. The Group has in-house property market research capability and development teams that monitor development risks closely. The Group generally adopts conservative assumptions on leasing and other variables and monitors the level of committed future capital expenditure on development programs relative to the level of undrawn facilities.

The Group’s hotel properties face specific risks as well. The success of the Group’s hotel properties will depend, in large part, upon the Group’s ability to compete in areas such as access, location, quality of accommodations, room rate structure and the quality and type of services offered. The Group’s hotels may face additional competition if other companies decide to build new hotels or improve their existing hotels such that they are more attractive to potential guests. In addition, their profitability depends on (i) the Group’s ability to form successful relationships with international operators to run the hotels; (ii) changes in travel patterns, including seasonal changes; and (iii) taxes and governmental regulations which influence or determine wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs.

4.3 Risk management of the urban properties and investment business in the Operation Center in Israel

Given the diversity of the activities conducted by IDBD and its subsidiaries, and the resulting risks, IDBD manages the exposure to its own key financial risks and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (except for IDB Tourism) in conformity with a centralized risk management policy, with the non-wholly owned IDBD subsidiaries being responsible for establishing the risk policy, taking action to cover market risks and managing their activities in a decentralized way. Both IDBD as holding and each subsidiary are responsible for managing their own financial risks in accordance with agreed global guidelines. The Chief Financial Officers of each entity are responsible for managing the risk management policies and systems, the definition of hedging strategies, insofar as applicable and based on any restriction that may be apply as a result of financial debt, the supervision of its implementation and the answer to such restrictions. The management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments.

This section provides a description of the principal risks related to the operations center in Israel that could have a material adverse effect on the IDBD’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The risks facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

4.3 Risk management of the urban properties and investment business in the Operation Center in Israel (Continued)

(a) Market risk management

Foreign currency risk

Real estate, business and/or financial activities of IDBD subsidiaries in the operations center in Israel are developed mainly in Israeli currency, although some operations, mostly borrowing, are expressed in United States’ dollars, thereby exposing IDBD to a foreign currency risk.

Net financial position exposure to the functional currencies is managed in a decentralized way on a case-by-case basis, by entering into foreign currency derivative instruments and/or by borrowings in foreign currencies, as the case may be, or by other methods considered adequate by the Management, according to circumstances.

As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the net position of financial instruments in US Dollars, which exposes the Group to the foreign currency risk amounts to Ps. (4,376) and Ps. (12,415), respectively. The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 5% appreciation of the US dollar against the Israeli currency would increase gain before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2017 for an amount of Ps. 231 (Ps. 498 loss in 2016). An equivalent depreciation would generate an additional net loss before income tax for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 of Ps. 236 (a profit of Ps. 489 in 2016).

Risk of fluctuations of the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") of Israel

IDBD has financial liabilities indexed by the Israeli CPI. As of the date of this Consolidated Financial Statements, more than half of financial liabilities arising from the center of operations in Israel was adjusted 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 using different derivative financial instruments, as the case may be, or by other methods, considered adequate by the Management, based on the to circumstances.

The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% appreciation of the CPI would increase loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 for an amount of Ps. 427 and Ps. 415 respectively. An equivalent depreciation of the CPI would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Income.

Interest rate risk

The IDBD’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 22). Borrowings issued at floating rate expose IDBD to cash flow interest rate risk, are partially offset by financial assets at floating interest rate. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose IDBD to fair value interest rate risk.

4.3 Risk management of the urban properties and investment business in the Operation Center in Israel (Continued)

IDBD manages the exposure to the interest rate risk on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated by IDBD, taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing sources or hedging instruments, maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities. The exposure to the interest rate risk is managed in a decentralized way and is monitored regularly by different management offices with a view to confirming that there are no adverse effects over its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowings covenants.

As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the 96.6% and 95.7%, respectively, of the Group’s long-term financial borrowings in this operations center are at fixed interest rate, therefore, IDBD is not significantly exposed to the interest rate fluctuation risk.

IDBD estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% increase in floating rates at year-end would increase net loss before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2017, in Ps. 21, approximately (Ps. 27 approximately in 2016). A decrease 1 % in floating rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the Statement of Income.

Other price risk

IDBD is exposed to equity securities price risk or derivative financial instruments price risk because of investments held in entities that are publicly traded. As indicated in Note 14, investment in Clal is classified on the Statements of Financial Position at “fair value through profit or loss” and represents the most significant IDBD’s exposure to price risk. IDBD has not used hedging against these risks.

IDBD 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, 2017 of Ps. 856. An increase of 10% on these prices would have an equal and opposite effect in the Statement of Income.

IDBD regularly reviews the prices evolution of these equity securities in order to identify significant movements.

(b)

Credit risk management

The credit risk arises from the potential non-performance of contractual obligations by the parties, with a resulting financial loss for IDBD. IDBD’s credit risk, as well as that of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (except for IDB Tourism), is managed in a centralized manner by IDBD. In contrast, the credit risk of the other subsidiaries is managed in a decentralized fashion by each subsidiary. Each entity is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk and limits have been established to ensure that IDBD deals only with approved counterparties and that counterparty concentration risk is addressed and the risk of loss is mitigated. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to IDBD.

IDBD 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.

Under the policy established by IDBD’s board of directors, the management deposits excess cash in local banks which are not company creditors, in order to keep minimum risk values in cash balances.

The IDBD’s policy is to manage credit exposure to deposits, short-term investments, and other financial instruments by maintaining diversified funding sources in various financial institutions. All the institutions that operate with IDBD are well known because of their experience in the market and high credit quality. IDBD 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 Statement of Financial Position.

IDBD’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. IDBD generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to each counterparty. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty’s obligations exceed the obligations that IDBD has with that counterparty. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is representing by the carrying value of the assets positions of these instruments.

Financial risk management and fair value (Continued)

4.3 Risk management of the urban properties and investment business in the Operation Center in Israel (Continued)

The IDBD’s policy is to manage credit exposure to trade and other receivables counterparties within defined trading limits. All of IDBD’s significant counterparties have internal credit 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 has a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer. (Note 17).

There is not a high credit risk concentration in trade receivables from telecommunications and supermarket activity, as the business does not rely on few customers and most of the transactions are paid in cash or by credit card. (Note 17).

(c)

Liquidity risk management

The most important risk in the operations center in Israel is liquidity risk, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, the risk that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements, and the risk that financial assets cannot readily be converted to cash without loss of value. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the IDBD’s cash flow and Statement of Financial Position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, IDBD aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources.

IDBD monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow forecasts, debt maturity and interest rate exposure. IDBD also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates and changes in property values on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.

4.3 Risk management of the urban properties and investment business in the Operation Center in Israel (Continued)

The IDBD’s debt and derivative positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. IDBD maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium- to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed in accordance with IDBD’s needs, by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities, as appropriate.

The table below shows financial liabilities, including Group’s derivative financial liabilities in the operations center Israel, groupings based on the remaining period at the Statements of Financial Position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result, they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the Statement of Financial Position.

However, undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the Statement of Financial Position, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The tables include both interest and principal flows.

When the interest payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the existing conditions at the reporting date.

Significant judgments, key assumptions and estimates

Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The following section is intended to provide an understanding of the policies that management considers critical because of the level of complexity, judgment or estimation involved in their application and their impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimation	Main assumptions	Potential implications	Main references
Business combination - Allocation of acquisition prices	Assumptions regarding timing, amount of future revenues and expenses, revenue growth, expected rate of return, economic conditions, discount rate, among others.	Should any of the assumptions made be inaccurate the recognized combination may not be correct.	Note 3 – Acquisitions and disposals
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.	Note 11 – Property, plant and equipment Note 13 – Intangible assets
Control, joint control or significant influence	Judgment relative to the determination that the Group holds an interest in the shares of investees (considering the existence and influence of significant potential voting rights), its right to designate members in the executive management of such companies (usually the Board of directors) based on the investees’ bylaws; the composition and the rights of other shareholders of such investees and their capacity to establish operating and financial policies for investees or to take part in the establishment thereof.	Accounting treatment of investments as subsidiaries (consolidation) or associates (equity method).	Note 2.3

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 component of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM. According to IFRS 8, the CODM represents a function whereby strategic decisions are made and resources are assigned. The CODM function is carried out by the President of the Group, Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain. In addition, and due to the acquisition of IDBD, two responsibility levels have been established for resource allocation and assessment of results of the two operations centers, through executive committees in Argentina and Israel.

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.

Agricultural business:

In previous and current year, the Group has 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. Previously, eight reportable segments were considered (crops, cattle, dairy, sugarcane, agricultural rentals and services, land transformation and sales, agro-industrial and other segments), actually are considered:

●

The “ Land transformation and sales ” segment comprises gains from the disposal and development of farmlands activities.

Segment information (Continued)

●

The " Agricultural production " segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of crops as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers; breeding, purchasing and/or fattening of free-range cattle for sale to slaughterhouses and local livestock auction markets; breeding and/or purchasing dairy cows for the production of raw milk for sale to local milk and milk-related products producers; agricultural services; leasing of the Group's farms to third parties; and planting, harvesting and sale of sugarcane.

●

The " Other segments and corporate " includes, principally, slaughtering and processing in the meat refrigeration plant; and brokerage activities, among others. In addition, includes corporate expenses related to agricultural business.

The amounts corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect changes in segment information.

Urban properties and investments:

● Operations Center in Argentina

Within this operations center, the Group operates in the following segments:

The “ Shopping malls ” segment includes the assets and operating results of the activity of shopping malls portfolio 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 and others ” segment includes the assets and operating results from lease revenues of offices and other rental space and other service revenues related to the office activities.

The “ Sales and developments ” segment includes the assets and operating results of the sales of undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties, as the results related with its development and maintenance. Also included in this segment are the results of the sales of real property intended for rent, sales of hotels and other properties included in the International segment.

The " Hotels " segment includes the operating results of hotels mainly comprised of room, catering and restaurant revenues.

The “ International ” segment includes assets and operating profit or loss from business related to associates Condor and Lipstick. Through these associates, the Group derives revenue from hotels and an office building in USA, respectively. Until September 30, 2014, this segment included revenues from a subsidiary that owned the building located at 183 Madison Ave in New York, USA, which was sold that date. Additionally, until October 11, 2015, this international segment included results from the investment in IDBD carried at fair value.

Segment information (Continued)

The “ Financial operations, Corporate and others ” segment primarily includes the financial activities carried out by BHSA and Tarshop, and other residual financial operations and corporate expenses related to the Operations center in Argentina.

The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of the operating segments corresponding to the agricultural business and urban properties and investment business of the operations center Argentina based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the equity in earnings of joint ventures and associates. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the Financial Statements, except for the following:

●

Operating results from joint ventures: Cresca, Cyrsa S.A., NPSF, Puerto Retiro, Baicom, Networks S.A. and Quality are evaluated by the CODM applying proportional consolidation method. Under this method the income/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 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).

Starting in fiscal year 2017, the CODM reviews certain corporate expenses associated to all segments of the operations center in Argentina on an aggregate and separate basis, and such expenses have been accounted for under Financial operations, Corporate and others. As of June 2016 and 2015, the segment information has been restrospectively recast for comparability purposes.

The assets’ categories examined by the CODM are: investment properties, property, plant and equipment, trading properties, inventories, right to receive future units under barter agreements, investment in associates and goodwill. The sum of these assets, classified by business segment, is reported under “assets by segment”. Assets are allocated to each segment based on the operations and/or their physical location.

Revenues for each reporting segments derive from a large and diverse client base and, therefore, there is no revenue concentration in any particular segment.

Segment information (Continued)

● Operations Center in Israel:

Within this operations center, the Group operates in the following segments:

The “ Real Estate ” segment includes mainly assets and operating income derived from business related to the subsidiary PBC. Through PBC, the Group operates rental properties and residential properties in Israel, USA and other parts of the world and carries out commercial projects in Las Vegas, USA.

The “ Supermarkets ” segment includes assets and operating income derived from the business related to the subsidiary Shufersal. Through Shufersal, the Group mainly operates a supermarket chain in Israel.

The “ Telecommunications ” segment includes assets and operating income derived from the business related to the subsidiary Cellcom. Cellcom is a provider of telecommunication services and its main activities include the provision of mobile phone services, fixed line phone services, data and Internet, among others.

The " Insurance " segment includes the investment in Clal. This company is one of the most important insurance groups in Israel, and is mainly engaged in pension and social security insurance, among others. As indicated in Note 18, the Group does not have control over Clal; therefore, the business is not consolidated on a line-by-line basis but rather reported in a single line as a financial asset held for sale and valued at fair value, as required by the IFRS.

The " Others " segment includes the assets and income derived from other diverse business activities, such as technological developments, tourism, gas and oil assets, electronics, and others.

As stated in Notes 35 and 36 to these Financial Statements, Adama, Israir and Open Sky are presented within discontinued operations, therefore the Group has ceased to present the following segments: (i) Agrochemicals (Adama) and (ii) Tourism (previously included within “Others” segments).

The CODM periodically reviews the results and certain asset categories and assesses performance of operating segments of this operations center based on a measure of profit or loss of the segment composed by the operating income plus the equity in earnings of joint ventures and associates. The valuation criteria used in preparing this information are consistent with IFRS standards used for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As stated under Note 2, the Group decided to consolidate income derived from its operations center in Israel with a three month lag, as adjusted for the effects of significant transactions; hence, IDBD’s results for the period extending from October 11, 2015 (acquisition date) through March 31, 2016 are included in sunder comprehensive income of the Group for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

Segment information (Continued)

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the group consolidated twelve month worth of income from the Israel Operations Center, maintaining the three month lag and adjusting for the effects of material transactions.

Goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions between segments, if any, are eliminated.

As to business segments involving the urban properties and investments business from the operations center in Argentina where the CODM evaluated assets under the proportional consolidation method, each reported asset includes the proportional share of the Group in the same class of assets of the associates and/or joint ventures. Only as an example, the investment properties amount reported to the CODM includes (i) the investment property balance as per the Statement of Financial Position plus (ii) the Group’s share in the balances of investment properties of joint ventures.

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 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

Cellcom

In November 2015, Cellcom signed an agreement with Golán Telecom Ltd (“Golan”) and its shareholders for the acquisition of 100% of Golan’s shares of stock. Such agreement was not accepted by the Ministry of Telecommunications. Furthermore, in July 2016, Cellcom started legal proceedings against Golan for failure to comply with the stock purchase agreement. On January 17, 2017 Electra Consumer Products Ltd (“Electra”) entered into a stock purchase agreement with Golan and its shareholders and also an agreement with Cellcom on the use of its net and hosting services. At the same time, Cellcom cancelled the agreement to purchase Golan and agreed to grant Electra e loan in the amount of NIS 130 (then equivalent to approximately Ps. 546) for a term of 10 years, which will be repaid in 6 semi-annual installments starting on the eight anniversary of the execution of the agreement. The loan is backed by several assets of Golan. It is worth mentioning that the agreement regarding the use of the network and hosting services was approved by the ministry of telecommunications. The purchase of Golan by Electra was approved in April and the loan was granted.

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, 5774-2013 (‘the Concentration Law’) which has material implications for IDBD and its investors, including the disposal of the controlling interest in Clal.

In May 2017, the alternative chosen by the Board and the Audit Committee of IDBD was the sale of DIC’s shares to a special purpose vehicle controlled by Dolphin. Thus, IDBD would cease controlling DIC and its subsidiaries. Under this alternative, IDBD complies with the concentration law as of the end of fiscal year 2017.

After June 30, 2017, Dolphin Netherlands B.V. made a non-binding tender offer for the acquisition of all the shares of Discount Investment Corporation Ltd. (“DIC”) held by IDB Development Corporation Ltd. (“IDBD”). There is no certainty that the parties will sign or execute a binding agreement. The tender offer is to be examined by a committee of independent directors of IDBD and, once examined, the terms and conditions of the transaction will be negotiated. This transaction may take a long time to be finalized or may even never come to fruition, or else be consummated under different terms over the course of the negotiations, for it requires approval of IDBD’s competent corporate bodies, as well as approval by other entities that may deny.

Information about principal subsidiaries (Continued)

For purposes of the transaction, a committee of independent directors has been set up to assess the tender offer and negotiate the terms and conditions. In response to an inquiry, the Audit Committee has issued an opinion without reservations as to the transaction in accordance with the terms of section 72 et al. of the Capital Markets Act N° 26,831.

On September 24, 2017, IDBD reported that the Company and Dolphin signed a Term Sheet for the purchase of DIC shares by a related party of Dolphin. The completion of the Transaction contemplated under the Term Sheet is subject to the Parties' execution of the definitive transaction documents (the "Definitive Documents") on or prior to November 16, 2017, as well as to the approval of the Transaction by the authorized organs of the Parties and to the fulfillment of additional pending warranties up to December 10, 2017 (the "Date of Completion of the Transaction"). The main points of the Term Sheet are as follows:

●

The buyer will acquire the total of DIC shares held by IDBD at a stated price of NIS 16.6 per share (equivalent to approximately Ps. 80 per share at the date of these financial statements).

●

Payment will be made through the issuance of a promissory note by the buyer, which will expire 5 years from the date of completion of the transaction and will accrue a minimum annual interest of 5.5%. Until the payment is canceled in full, any DIC distribution will be paid in an Israeli bank and will be pledged in favor of the seller.

●

DIC debt must maintain the same encumbrance and the shares that are not currently guaranteeing debt will be held in favor of the selling party until the cancellation of the payment.

As of the consolidated balance sheet date, IDBD is currently analyzing the next steps to continue taking over the control of its subsidiaries in 2019.

Dolphin arbitration process

As mentioned in Note 4 H.a) to these Consolidated Financial Statements there is an arbitration process going on between Dolphin and ETH in relation to certain issues connected to the control obtainment of IDBD. 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. As of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, there are no other news in relation to the process and the proceeding is pending.

Reporting dividends by DIC

On March 22, 2017, DIC’s Board of Directors approved a distribution of dividends for NIS 4.5 per share, in two tranches, as follows: (i) NIS 3.3 per share (equivalent to Ps. 13.86 per share) payable on April 20, 2017, and (ii) NIS 1.2 per share (equivalent to Ps. 5.04 per share) payable on September 19, 2017, subject to a solvency test to be performed at the time of payment. The tranche corresponding to April was already paid in.

Reporting dividends by other subsidiaries

In April 2017, Shufersal, PBC and Gav Yam declared and paid out dividends in the amount of NIS 160, NIS 150 and NIS 180, respectively (equivalent to approximately Ps. 720, Ps. 675 and Ps. 810, respectively, on the payment date).

Capital issuance

During April 2017, Shufersal issued approximately 12 million shares for a total net consideration of NIS 210 (equivalent to approximately Ps. 882 as of the date of the issuance). As a result of such issuance, DIC’s interest in Shufersal went down to nearly 56.11%. In June 2017, Shufersal issued 8 million shares as part of a private offering for a total amount of NIS 139 (equivalent to approximately Ps. 654 on the issue date), thus diluting DIC’s interest to 54.19%.

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 valued. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.

Each operations center has a team that review the valuations performed by the independent appraisers for financial reporting purposes (the “review team”. At each financial year end, the review team department: i) verifies all major and important assumptions relevant to the valuation to the independent valuation report; ii) assesses property valuation movements when compared to the prior year valuation report; and iii) holds discussions with the independent valuer.

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 appraiser. In the case of the agribusiness and the urban property business and investments in the Operations Center in Argentina, the Board of Directors ultimately approves the fair value calculations for recording into the financial statements. In the case of the Operations Center of Israel, the valuations were examined by Israel Management and reported to the Financial Statements Committee.

Valuation techniques used for the estimation of fair value of the investment property:

For all leases of agricultural land with a total valuation of Ps. 304, Ps. 100 and Ps. 335 for fiscal years ended on June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 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 piece per hectare.

For all shopping malls with a total valuation of Ps. 28,561, Ps. 26,426 and Ps. 10,277 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the valuation was determined using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) projections based on significant unobservable assumptions.

Within these assumptions the main are:

●

Future rental cash inflows based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, and considering the estimations of the Gross National Income (GNI) and the estimated inflation rated given by external advisors.

●

It was considered that all Shopping Malls will grow with the same elasticity in relation to the evolution of the GNI and projected Inflation.

●

Cash flows from future investments, expansions, or improvements in shopping malls were not considered.

●

Estimated vacancy rates taking into account current and future market conditions once the current leases expire.

●

The projected cash flows were discounted using the Company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate for each valuation date.

●

Terminal value: it was consider a perpetuity calculated from the cash flow of the last year of useful life.

●

The cash flow for the concessions were projected until the due date of the concession determinate in the current agreement.

For office properties and undeveloped land, with a total amount of Ps. 11,035, Ps. 8,688 and Ps. 8,695 as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, the valuation was determined using market comparable. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as location, size of the property and quality of the interior design. The most significant contribution to this comparable market approach is the price per square meter.

It can sometimes be difficult to reliably determine the fair value of the property under development. In order to assess whether the fair value of the property under development 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.

Past experience with similar constructions.

●

Status of construction permits.

For properties under construction, with an amount of Ps. 615 and Ps. 293 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the valuation was based on the cost plus the fair value of the undeveloped parcels of land basis. These properties under development currently comprise works in a building office to be constructed.There were no propierties under development as of June 30, 2015.

There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the year.

Below is the information on the measurements of fair value investment properties when using significant non-observable data (Level 3):

June 30, 2017

Property type	Valuation technique	Discount rate	Growth rate
Shopping Malls	Discounted cash flows	9.35 %	3 %

For the next 5 years, an average Ps./US$ exchange rate was considered, with an upward trend, from Ps./US$ 15.45 to Ps./US$ 27.66. In the long term, a nominal devaluation rate of 5.5% is assumed based on the ratio of inflation in Argentina to that in the USA. The inflation considered has a downward trend, which starts at 31.0% and stabilizes at 8% after 10 years.

Operations Center in Israel

For the rental properties with a total amount of Ps. 54,334 and Ps. 40,871, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the valuation was determined using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) projections based on significant unobservable assumptions.

Within these assumptions the main are:

●

a discount rate that reflects the specific risks incorporated in comparable flows and assets.

●

real lease agreements, where payments differ from the proper rent, if any, are subject to adjustments to reflect the actual payments made during the term of the lease.

●

type of lessee that occupies the property, the future lessees that may occupy the property after leasing a vacant property, including a general creditworthiness assessment.

●

the allocation of responsibilities between the Group and the lessee as regards maintenance and insurance of the property.

●

the physical condition and remaining useful life of the property.

●

the provisions of the construction contract.

●

the stage of completion.

●

whether the project/property is standard (typical in the market) or non-standard.

●

the reliability of the cash inflows following completion.

●

the development risk specific to the property.

●

previous experience with similar constructions.

●

status of construction permits.

Within these assumptions for the Operations Center in Israel the main are:

Weighted average discount rate
			2017	2016
Rental properties in Israel		Offices	8.2%	8.1%
		Commercial use	7.8%	7.8%
		Industrial use	9.0%	8.4%
Rental properties in U.S.A.	HSBC Building	Offices	5.8%	5.8%
	Las Vegas project	Offices and commercial use	5.7%	8.75%

Weighted average rental value per square meter (m2) per month, in NIS
			2017	2016
Rental properties in Israel		Offices	63 NIS/square meter	62 NIS/square meter
		Commercial use	88 NIS/square meter	92 NIS/square meter
		Industrial use	33 NIS/square meter	32 NIS/square meter
Rental properties in U.S.A.	HSBC Building	Offices	337 NIS/square meter	425 NIS/square meter
	Las Vegas project	Offices	114 NIS/square meter	109 NIS/square meter

For undeveloped land of the Operations Center in Israel with a total amount of ps. 2,938 and Ps. 2,204 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the valuation was determined using market comparable. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as location, size of the property and quality of the interior design. The most significant contribution to this comparable market approach is the price per square meter.

For property under development in the Operations Center of Israel with a total value of Ps. 2,390 and Ps. 3,923 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the valuation is based on the estimated fair value of the investment property after completing the construction, minus the present value of the estimated construction costs expected to be incurred during completion of construction works, considering a capitalization rate adjusted for risks and relevant features of the property.

Amortization charge was recognized in the amount of Ps. 488, Ps. 191 and Ps. 2 under "Costs", in the amount of Ps. 339, Ps. 158 and Ps. 5 under "General and administrative expenses" and Ps. 1,231, Ps. 615 and Ps. 0 under "Selling expenses" as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively in the Statement of Income / (Operations) (Note 28). In addition, a charge of Ps. 31 and Ps. 28 was recognized under "discontinued operations" as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(ii)

Includes "Rights of use". Corresponds to Distritro Arcos.

(iii)

Includes "Rights to receive future units under barter agreements". Correspond to receivables in kind representing the right to receive residential apartments in the future by way of barter agreements. Caballito: on June 29, 2011, the Group and TGLT entered into a barter agreement in the amount of US$ 12.8. In 2013 a neighborhood association secured a preliminary injunction, which suspended the works, to be carried out by TGLT in the property and started a claim against GCBA and TGLT. As a consequence of the unfavorable rulings rendered by lower courts and appellate courts in the cited proceeding, the Group and TGLT reached a settlement agreement dated December 30, 2016, whereby they agree to provide a deed for the revocation of the barter agreement, after TGLT resolves certain issues. Consequently, the Group has decided to deregister the intangible asset related to this transaction, thus recognizing a loss of Ps. 27.7.

Biological assets (Continued)

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.

The following table shows the stages and average periods where the Group´s crops have a significant biological growth, based on agronomical studies and other inputs:

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) because it is a perennial and long-term crop with an average life cycle of five years. Each sugarcane planting generally yields five harvests. Once the production life cycle is over, crop renewal is brought about. 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 selling costs, 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), the Group determines the fair value of a biological asset based on cash flows discount 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.

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.

14. Biological assets (Continued)

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.

The following tables present the Group’s biological assets as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 and their allocation to the fair value hierarchy:

Financial instruments by category

The following note shows the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities by category of financial instrument and a reconciliation to the corresponding line item 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 payables in-kind and tax 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 or 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 for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period.

Financial instruments by category (Continued)

In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as that information is not available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which any market player would consider in their pricing.

The Group’s Finance Division has a team in place in charge of estimating 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 tiers are recognized when occurred, or when there are changes in the prevailing circumstances requiring the transfer.

Financial assets and financial liabilities as of June 30, 2017 were as follows:

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 grant an irrevocable power of attorney to Mr. Moshe Tery ("the Trustee") by 51% of the shareholding capital and vote 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.

The sale arrangement outlined in the letter involves IDBD’s and the Trustee’s interests in the sale process under different options and timeframes. The current sale arrangement involved the sale of the interest in the stock exchange or by over-the-counter trades, as per the following detail and by the following dates:

Sell at least 5% of its equity interest in Clal, since May 7, 2016.

Sell at least an additional 5% of its equity interest in Clal, during each of the subsequent four-month periods.

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

In case IDBD does not fulfills its obligation in the manner described in the above paragraph the Trustee is entitled to act upon the specified arrangement in lieu of IDBD, pursuant to all powers that had been vested under the representations of the trust letter. The consideration for the sale would be transferred to IDBD, with the expenses incurred in the sale process to be solely borne by IDBD.

During February 2016, bondholders and minority shareholders as of that date, filed a complaint against the Commissioner so that the order by the Administrator to sell the shares in the market was revoked, for this would cause irreversible damage to the company and its bondholders. As of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements, no decision has been rendered on the complaint.

On April 5, 2017, the District Court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa ordered the Trustee to sell 5% of Clal’s shares managed by him/her within a term of 30 days, pursuant to the decision and the petition filed by the Commissioner.

The Court considered that the Commissioner acted fairly and proportionately in ordering such sale, that such sale should be made at the best possible price and that, after completing it, the Commissioner should use its discretionary power and examine the circumstances of the case in ordering any new sales.

On May 1, 2017 IDBD agreed to sell the 5% of Clal’s shares jointly with a swap transaction. Hence, the shares were sold on May 4 without any type of encumbrances, at a price of NIS 59.86 each (i.e., for a total of roughly NIS 166, equivalent to approximately Ps. 697 at the exchange rate prevailing on that date). Such request had the consent of the Trustee and a statement from the Commissioner stating that such body does not object to the swap transaction.

Concurrently with the sale, IDBD entered into a swap transaction with a banking institution whereby the former will charge or pay for the difference between the sales value of the shares above described and the value such shares will have at the time they are sold to the third-party buyer upon the lapse of a 24-month period. IDBD cannot repurchase such shares.

IDBD continues to evaluate courses of action with regard to the District Court’s pronouncement, including the possibility to file a motion for appeal.

Based on the terms and conditions of the swap contract, IDBD maintains the major risks and benefits of all of Clal shares; as a result, as of June 30, 2017, all of Clal shares were reported as a financial asset available for sale and a liability in the amount of Ps. 783. Valuation of mentioned shares as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 amounts to Ps. 8,562 and 4,602 respectively, and a gain of Ps. 2,513 has been recorded in 2017 and a loss of Ps. 1,951 has been recorded in 2016, reflecting the increase and decrease in the market price, disclose in financial results, net in the line “Fair value gain / loss of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, net”

Trade and other receivables (Continued)

The carrying amounts of the Group’s trade and other receivables denominated in foreign currencies are detailed in Note 34.

The fair value of current receivables approximate their respective carrying amounts due to the short-term nature, as the impact of discounting is not considered significant. The present value of receivables related to installment sales of communication devices, realized by Cellcom, was calculated using a discount rate of 3.3%. The book value of other non-current receivables is, or approximates, its fair value on the balance sheet date. Fair value are based on discounted cash flows (Level 3).

Trade receivables are generally presented in the Statement of Financial Position net of allowances for doubtful receivables. Impairment policies and procedures by type of receivables are discussed in detail in Note 2.

The evolution of the Group’s provision for impairment of trade receivables were as follows:

	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2015 (recast)
Beginning of the year	191	120	90
Recoveries	(13 )	(53 )	21

Additions	241	113	21
Cumulative translation adjustment	182	15	2
End of the period / year	336	191	120

The Group’s trade receivables comprise several classes. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of credit (Note 4).

The Group has also receivables with related parties. Neither of which are due nor impaired.

Equity

Share capital and premium

The share capital of the Group is represented by common shares with a nominal value of Ps. 1 per share and one vote each. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors decided on November 3, 2016 to carry out a pro rata distribution among shareholders of 3,833,352 treasury shares. No other activity has been recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 in the capital accounts, other than those related to the acquisition of treasury stock. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, certain option holders exercised their right to purchase additional shares, with the resulting addition of 80,074 common shares with a nominal value of Ps. 1 each. All of the existing options expired on May 22, 2015, after the end of the exercise period.

Inflation adjustment of share capital

The Group’s Financial Statements were previously prepared on the basis of general price-level accounting which reflected changes in the purchase price of the Argentine Peso in the historical Financial Statements through February 28, 2003. The inflation adjustment related to share capital was appropriated to an inflation adjustment reserve that formed part of shareholders' equity. The balance of this reserve could be applied only towards the issuance of common stock to shareholders of the Company. Resolution 592/11 of the CNV requires that at the transition date to IFRS certain equity accounts, such as the inflation adjustment reserve, are not adjusted and are considered an integral part of share capital.

Legal reserve

According to Law N° 19,550, 5% of the profit of the year is separated to constitute a legal reserve until they reach legal capped amounts (20% of total capital). This legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The Group has not reached the legal limit of this reserve.

Special reserve

The CNV, through General Rulling 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 st , 2012, with the transition date being July 1 st , 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. 695, which as of June 30, 2017 were fully used to absorb the negative balances in the retained earnings account. As explained under Note 2.1. to these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group’s Board of Directors decided to change the accounting policy of the investment property from the cost method to the fair value method, as allowed by IAS 40. 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 by Ps. 1,516, which may only be reversed to be capitalized or to absorb potential negative balances under retained earnings.

Additional paid-in capital from treasury shares

Upon sale of the treasury shares, the difference between the net realizable value of the treasury shares sold and their acquisition cost shall be recorded, whether it is a gain or a loss, as part of owners’ contributions not yet capitalized to be called “Additional Paid-in Capital from Treasury Stock”.

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 liability 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.

The table below shows the evolution in the Group's provisions for other liabilities categorized by type of provision:

(i)

Additions and recoveries are included in "Other operating results, net".

(ii)

Corresponds to equity interests in associates with negative equity, mainly New Lipstick. Additions and recoveries are included in "Share of profit / (loss) of joint ventures and associates".

(iii)

The Group’s companies are required to recognize certain costs related to the dismantling of assets and remediating sites from the places where such assets are located. The calculation of expenses are 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 laws, regarding which there is a high degree of uncertainty as to the terms and the necessary amounts to discharge such liability.

(v)

The balance pertains to provisions related to investment property. Includes NIS 99 million (equivalent to approximately Ps. 465 as of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements) related to a termination fee on a pre-acquisition contractual obligation between the Company's subsidiary, IDBD and a brokerage firm regarding advisory services on a property. The Company is currently disputing the contractual termination fee, therefore the final amount and timing of payment is uncertain. 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 real 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.

Dolphin

In September 2016, a former non-controlling shareholder of IDBD (the "Petitioner") filed a petition with the district court of Be'er Sheva against Dolphin Netherlands, IFISA and Mr. Eduardo Elsztain (jointly referred to as "Dolphin"), to initiate a claim under a collective action (the “Petition”). The Petitioner argues that in executing the modified tender offer of IDBH (a former controlling company of IDBD), as explained in Note 4.H.a), the non-controlling shareholders of IDBD, which voted against the modification of the tender offer, were forced to sell their shares at a value that differed from the value initially agreed upon and that, therefore, Dolphin should compensate them for an estimated amount of NIS 158 (equivalent to Ps. 754 as of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements). In July 2017, Dolphin filed a motion to dismiss the Petition. Our legal advisors consider that the collective petition will probably be dismissed by the Court. If not dismissed, Dolphin will have to file an answer to the Petition within the 60 days following the Court’s decision regarding the motion to dismiss.

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 the 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.

Provisions (Continued)

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. The Court has yet to render a decision on the motion to dismiss.

The Companies hold that such allegations are meritless and will continue making a strong defense in both actions.

Claims against Cellcom and its subsidiaries

Most legal proceedings involve consumer claims and actions derived from these claims and petitions have been filed requesting that they be admitted as class actions.

Claims against Shufersal and its subsidiaries

Most legal actions pertain to consumer claims and petitions requesting that such claims be admitted as class actions. There are also individual legal actions brought and employees, subcontractors and suppliers.

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 balance sheet date, there is no provision in relation to this claim.

● In July 2016, Shufersal repurchased NCN Series B for a nominal value of NIS 511 (equivalents to Ps. 2,771 as of that date) with an increase of the issue of NCN Series F by a ratio of 1.175 for each NIS 1 of the Series B. The NCN Series B acquired by Shufersal were cancelled and delisted. The swap transaction does not amount to an exchange of debt instruments because the terms are not substantially different. All expenses related to the bond swap have been deducted from outstanding balance of the debt and shall be amortized over the remaining term of it.

● On August 2, 2016, lDBD has issued a new series of NCN in the Israeli market in an amount of NIS 325 (equivalent to Ps. 1,213 as of that date) due in 2019, at an annual IPC (indexed interest rate) plus 4.25%. These NCN are secured by shares of Clal subject to the approval of the Israel Commission of Capital Markets, Savings and Insurance. On September 15, 2016, the Supreme Court rendered an opinion on the use of Clal’s shares as collateral and has requested the Capital Markets, Savings and Insurance Commission to explain the reasons why it does not allow IDBD to secure debentures with up to 5% of Clal shares. In January 2017, the Court ordered that IDBD should refrain from securing the debentures in excess of 5% of Clal’s shares, as they are already securing in part a loan by Menorha.

In accordance with the decision rendered by the Supreme Court on the petition filed by IDBD to pledge Clal’s shares in September, 2016, on October 13, 2016, the Board of Directors of IDBD resolved a partial early redemption of the debentures, which was effected on November 1, 2016 for an approximately amount of NIS 239 at nominal value (“the redeemed portion”) and represents a total of approximately NIS 244 with respect to principal, interest and compensation for early redemption. The early redemption represented 73.7% of the outstanding principal balance of the debentures.

In addition, IDBD issued debentures (Series L) for a total of NIS 381 (equal to Ps. 1,565 as of that date). The debentures accrue interest at a rate of 6.95%. The principal will be repaid in a single payment on November 28, 2019. The first interest payment will be made on February 28, 2017 for the period spanning from the issue date to the payment date. The remaining interest payments will be made in 4 annual consecutive quarterly installments due in February, May, August and November each year. In order to ensure full compliance with all commitments, IDBD pledged DIC’s shares for nearly 46.2 million.

● On August 4, 2016, DIC issued further debentures due 2025 in an amount of NIS 360 (equivalent to Ps. 1,344 as of that date). The bonds were placed at an internal rate of return of 5.70%.

● In October 2016, PBC issued debentures for NIS 102 (equal to Ps. 417 as of that date), at an annual effective rate of 2.99% indexed to the CPI, and also issued debentures for roughly NIS 497 (equal to Ps. 2,055 as of that date) at an effective rate of 4.10% with no CPI indexation clause.

● In January 2017, IDBG received a loan from an Israeli financial entity in the amount of US$ 41.4. Principal will be reimbursed after the lapse of two years and shall accrue interest at 7%. The loan is backed by IDBD and PBC (jointly and severally). In addition, the due date has been extended to December 31, 2018 for a bank loan in the amount of US$ 59 granted by a US bank to a subsidiary of IDBG (Great Wash Park LLC) which is building a shopping mall in Las Vegas, Nevada.

● On February 16, 2017, IDBD made a placement of Series 13 Debentures in the Israeli market for NIS 1,060 (equivalent to Ps. 4,452 as of that date), maturing in November 2019, at a fixed annual interest rate of 5.40%. Such debentures are collateralized by the potential cash flow that could derive from dividends or the sale of certain shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings Ltd., held by IDBD.

● In May 2012, IDBD was granted a loan from Menorah Group, which accrues interest at a rate of 6.9%, plus CPI. The loan was collateralized by a pledge over the shares of DIC and Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings. The total loan amounts to nearly NIS 153 (equivalent to Ps. 643 as of that date) and was collateralized by shares held by IDBD in DIC and Clal, which represent, respectively, roughly 15.3% and 4% of the share capital of such companies. In March 2017, IDBD reimbursed the loan balance plus a penalty for advance payment in the amount of NIS 154 (equivalent to Ps. 647 as of that date). As a consequence thereof, the pledges held by the bank over DIC’s and Clal’s shares were dropped.

Equity 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 is voluntary and employees are 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 employee of the Company for at least five years, among other conditions, required to qualify such Contributions. These 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.

As of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company set up a reserve for the Incentive Plan under Shareholder’s Equity in the amount of Ps. 113, Ps. 102 and Ps. 96, respectively. The reserve was based on the fair value of the shares to be granted under the Group’s contribution, on a proportional basis to the employee’s permanence in the Incentive Plan and adjusted for the probability that these beneficiaries may leave the Group before the required term has elapsed and/or the conditions to be entitled to the mentioned plan benefits are met as of each period end.

As of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Group recognized a charge in connection with the Incentive Plan of Ps. 18.4, Ps. 25.1 and Ps. 30.8, respectively. The total cost of the plan that has not yet been recognized because the term for the full granting of the benefit is still effective amounts to Ps. 8.1, Ps. 27.3 and Ps. 56.4, respectively, for each fiscal year. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next fiscal year.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Group granted 0.4, 1 and 1.8 million shares, respectively, corresponding to the Participants’ Contributions.

Defined contribution plan

The Group has a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) covering certain selected managers in Argentina. The Plan was effective as from January 1, 2006. Participants may make pre-tax contributions to the Plan of up to 2.5% of their monthly salary (“Base Contributions”) and of 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 good cause, the manager will receives 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. 21, Ps. 10 and Ps. 5 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Brasilagro Stock Option Plan

The Group’s subsidiary, Brasilagro, has a stock option plan (the “Brasilagro Stock Option Plan”), under which Brasilagro grants equity-settled options to certain directors and top management (the “Participants” or "Beneficiaries").

The Board of Directors approved the three tranches of Brasilagro’s Stock Option Plan on August 11, 2010, July 3, 2012 and September 4, 2012, respectively, and Brasilagro’s Board of Directors was authorized to grant stock options to selected employees. Upon exercise of each option, its beneficiary becomes entitled to purchase one share of Brasilagro’s capital stock at the exercise price set forth under the Plan.

Brasilagro’s Stock Option Plan has five beneficiaries and grants 233,689, 206,425 and 206,425 stock options at an exercise price of Rs. 8.97, Rs. 8.25, and Rs. 8.52 per share, respectively. The options may be exercised in full as from August 12, 2012, July 3, 2014 and September 4, 2014, respectively, and are exercisable during three years as from the time they become exercisable. As of June 30, 2015, none of the stock options was exercised or cancelled and 177,213 expired. As of June 30, 2014, none of the stock options was exercised, 109,054 were canceled and 68,159 expired.

The Group did not recognize any charge for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 related to Brasilagro Stock Option Plan. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Group had recognized a charge of Ps. 0.2.

The fair value of the Brasilagro’s awards was measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation technique.

Key grant-date fair value and other assumptions under the Brasilagro Stock Option Plan are detailed below:

Grant date	Second tranche	Third tranche
Expected volatility	41.62 %	40.50 %
Expected life	5 years	5 years
Risk free rate	9.37 %	9.12 %

Brasilagro Warrants

On March 15, 2006, the Board of Directors of Brasilagro approved the issuance of 512,000 share warrants (the "Brasilagro Warrants"), 256,000 of which correspond to the first tranche, and 256,000 of which correspond to the second tranche.

The first tranche of Brasilagro Warrants were delivered to its founding shareholders in March 2006, before Brasilagro’s IPO. As reported by Brasilagro in its IPO Prospectus, said warrants were granted to its founding shareholders in recognition of their founding efforts, their entrepreneurial spirit in preparing Brasilagro for its IPO, the work done in developing the business plan, and their commitment to the Company’s growth. The warrants were distributed among the founding shareholders for no consideration.

As Brasilagro received services from its founding shareholders in exchange for share-based payments, the first issuance of Brasilagro Warrants are within the scope of IFRS 2. However, due to the fact that these warrants could have been fully exercised since March 15, 2009, that is, before the transition date to the IFRS (July 1, 2009), and that the fair value of the warrants had not been published, the Group applied the exemption available under IFRS 1 for these equity instruments.

Each lot of 1,000 Warrants grants the right to subscribe 100 shares of Brasilagro. Brasilagro Warrants vest over a three-year period from the date of grant at 33% every year, and are exercisable by their holders over a fifteen-year period. The number of shares to be subscribed upon exercise of the warrants shall be adjusted in the event of split or reverse split of shares.

The 256,000 warrants of the second issue were exercisable as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and of the first issue as of June 30, 2015.

Brasilagro Warrants of the first issuance outstanding at each period end under have the following expiry date and exercise prices:

		Shares (i)
Expiry:	Exercise price per share	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2015 (recast)
April 27, 2021	Rs. 18.20	256,000	256,000	256,000

(i)

From the Brasilagro Warrants under the second tranche 177,004 were owned by the Company as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and under the first tranche, as of June 30, 2015.

Group’s management believes that Brasilagro Warrants under the second tranche (which are only exercisable if and when a transfer of control or acquisition of a significant interest occurs) has a fair value as of any of the periods presented because the exercise price will be equal to the price per share to be paid by the party that obtains control or that acquires a significant interest in Brasilagro. As a result, no liability has been recorded with respect to the Brasilagro Warrants of the second issuance.

Each lot of 1,000 warrants grants the right to subscribe 100 shares of Brasilagro. Brasilagro Warrants of the second issuance are exercisable by their holders during a fifteen-year period but only in the event of change in control and/or acquisition of a material interest in Brasilagro. The number of shares to be subscribed upon exercise of the warrants shall be adjusted in the event of split or reverse split of shares.

As Brasilagro Warrants under the second issuance were delivered to provide Brasilagro’s founding shareholders with a mechanism to leverage their interest in Brasilagro, and not in exchange for goods and/or services, they are not within the scope of IFRS 2. Rather, they are accounted for as a derivative financial liability in accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 9.

Out of the warrants under the second issuance 177,004 were held by the Company as of June 30, 2017 and 168,902 were held by the Company as of June 30, 2016 and 2015.

24. Taxation (Continued)

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, 2017, the Group's tax loss carry forward prescribed as follows:

Jurisdiction	June 30, 2017	Date of generation	Due date
Argentina	274	2013	2018
Argentina	916	2014	2019
Argentina	214	2015	2020
Argentina	1,366	2016	2021
Argentina	1,935	2017	2022
Uruguay	13	2013	2018
Uruguay	22	2014	2019
Uruguay	9	2015	2020
Uruguay	7	2016	2021
Uruguay	2	2017	2022
Bolivia	7	2017	2022
Brazil	1	2008 – 2017	Do not expire
Israel	98,050		Do not expire
Total cumulative tax loss carry-forwards	102,816

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.

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of Ps. 131,849, Ps. 74,301 and Ps. 36 as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Although the Management estimates that, once operational, certain Group's 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 limited operating history, there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to be able to offset the losses within a reasonable timeframe, therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized in relation to these losses.

24. Taxation (Continued)

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax liabilities of Ps. 1,792, Ps. 796 and Ps. 37 as of June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the potential dividends distribution of its investments in foreign subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In addition, the withholdings and/or similar taxes paid at source could be creditable against the Group’s potential final tax liability.

On June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a deferred liability in the amount of Ps. 857 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.

Based on the estimated and aggregate effect of all these aspects on the Companies' performance, Management estimates that as of June 30, 2017, it is probable that the Company will realize all of the deferred tax assets.

Below is a reconciliation between the income tax recognized and that, which would result from applying the prevailing tax rate, applicable in the respective countries, on the Income/loss before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015:

	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2015 (recast)
Loss for the year calculated at the tax rate prevailing in the respective countries	(2,018 )	(5,948 )	(1,805 )
Permanent differences:
Share of profit of joint ventures and associates	37	485	396
Unrecognized tax losses carry-forwards (i)	(1,253 )	(158 )	(9 )
Expiration of tax loss carry-forwards	(31 )	-	(13 )
Non-taxable (loss) / profit	(535 )	(144 )	53
Change of income tax rate	529	(357 )	-
Changes in fair value of financial instruments and sale of shares (ii)	434	-	-
Others	(25 )	289	(18 )
Income tax from continuing operations	(2,862 )	(5,833 )	(1,396 )

(i) corresponds primarily to holding companies in Israel.

(ii) corresponds mainly to changes in fair value related to Clal.

24. Taxation (Continued)

The Company does not set up an allowance for MPIT and is considering filing a declaratory action under the terms of section 322 of the Civil and Commercial Procedural Code against the AFIP seeking certainty as to the application of the MPIT for the fiscal year 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and advance payments from 7 through 11 corresponding to fiscal year 2014, in relation to the decision by the Argentine Supreme Court in the case “Hermitage” on September 15, 2010 and “Perfil” on February 11, 2014. In such judicial precedents, the Court had declared such tax to be unconstitutional given that, under certain circumstances, it proves to be unreasonable and inconsistent with the ability-to-pay principle.

Leases

The Group as lessee

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, 2017, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. 126.5, Ps. 79.7 and Ps. 98.8, respectively and is included in the line item "Costs" in the Statement of Income.

As discussed in Note 2.9, 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, 2017, 2016 and 2015 amounted to Ps. 9.8, Ps. 4.5 and Ps. 4.7, 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 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.

The future aggregate minimum lease payments the Group will have to cancel under non-cancellable operating leases were as follows:

	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2015 (recast)
No later than 1 year	2,860	3,907	38

25. Leases (Continued)

Finance leases:

The Group is party to several financial lease agreements, mainly of equipment for administrative use in the ordinary course of business. The amounts involved do not prove material to any of the fiscal years under review.

The Group as lessor

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 step-up clauses and contingent payments. In Israel, agreements tend to be agreed upon for fixed amounts, although in some cases they may include adjustment clauses. Income from leases are recorded in the Statement of Income under rental and service income in all of the filed periods.

Rental properties are considered to be investment property. Book value is included in Note 10. The future minimum proceeds generated from non-cancellable operating leases from Group’s Shopping malls, offices and other buildings are as follows:

	June 30, 2017	June 30, 2016 (recast)	June 30, 2015 (recast)
No later than 1 year	4,437	3,137	982
Later than 1 year and not later than 5 years	12,451	13,366	1,112
More than 5 years	4,632	4,247	8
	21,520	20,750	2,102

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.

Even though all leases described above are cancellable by law, the Group considered them to be non-cancellable.

Financial assets and other assets held for sale

As mentioned in Note 3, the investment in Israir has been reclassified to held for sale. Additionally, IDB Tourism is currently negotiating the sale of its equity interests in Open Sky Ltd., but the terms and conditions of such sale have not yet been finalized. The assets and liabilities related to the Open Sky Ltd. transaction have been also reclassified. In addition, the equity interest of the Group in Adama and the related non-recourse loan had been reclassified to held for sale before the disposal on November 22, 2016.

Pursuant to IFRS 5, assets and liabilities available for sale have been valued at the lower of their book value and fair value less cost of sale. Given that the book value of some assets was higher, an impairment loss of Ps. 231 has been recorded.
