DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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 “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, business, political, legal, social or other conditions in
Argentina or elsewhere in Latin America or changes in either
developed or emerging markets;
●
changes in capital
markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes toward
lending to Argentina or Argentine companies;
●
fluctuations in
prevailing interest rates;
●
current and future
government regulation (including amendments to the Argentine Civil
and Commercial Code);
●
adverse legal or
regulatory disputes or proceedings;
●
fluctuations and
declines in the value of Argentine public debt;
●
government
intervention in the private sector, including through
nationalization, expropriation, regulation or other
actions;
●
restrictions on
transfer of foreign currencies and other exchange
controls;
●
competition in the
shopping center sector, office or other commercial properties and
related industries;
●
potential loss of
significant tenants at our shopping centers and other commercial
properties;
●
our ability to take
advantage of opportunities in the Argentine real estate market on a
timely basis;
●
restrictions on
energy supply fluctuations in or prices 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 and national business and economic conditions in
Argentina;
●
fluctuations and
declines in the exchange rate of the Peso against other currencies;
and
●
the risk factors
discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page
5.
The
words “believe”, “may”, “will”,
“aim”, “estimate”, “continue”,
“anticipate”, “intend”,
“expect”, “forecast”,
“foresee”, “understand”, and similar words
are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
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.
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.
CERTAIN MEASUREMENTS AND TERMS
As used
throughout this annual report, the terms “IRSA Propiedades
Comerciales”, “IRSA Commercial Properties”,
“IRSA CP”, the “Company”, “we”,
“us”, and “our” refer to IRSA Propiedades
Comerciales S.A., formerly known as Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), which
name was modified by the decision of the Extraordinary General
Shareholder meeting held on February 5, 2015, together with our
consolidated subsidiaries, except where we make clear that such
terms refer only to the parent company.
In
Argentina the standard measure of area in the real estate market is
the square meter (m2)
(“sqm”), while in the United States and certain other
jurisdictions, the standard measure of area is the square foot (sq.
ft.). All units of area shown in this annual
report
(e.g., gross leasable area
of buildings and size of undeveloped land) are expressed in terms
of square meters. One square meter is equal to approximately 10.764
square feet. One hectare is equal to approximately 10,000 square
meters and approximately 2.47 acres.
As used
herein: “GLA” or “gross leasable area”, in
the case of shopping centers, refers to the total leasable area of
the property, regardless of our ownership interest in such property
(excluding common areas and parking accommodations and space
occupied by supermarkets, hypermarkets, gas stations and co-owners,
except where specifically stated).
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER
INFORMATION
Financial Statements
This
annual report contains our audited consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 for our fiscal years ended
June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 (our “Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements”). Our Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere herein have been audited by Price
Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires,
Argentina, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International
Limited, an independent registered public accounting firm whose
report is included herein.
Pursuant to
Resolution No. 562/09 issued by the 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, we have prepared our Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements in accordance with IFRS for the first time for our
financial year ended June 30, 2013, which included comparative
financial information for the year ended June 30, 2012. All IFRS
regulations 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.
Market
data used throughout this annual report was derived from reports
prepared by unaffiliated independent 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
amounts which appear in this annual report (including percentage
amounts) may not sum due to rounding.
In this
annual report where we refer to “Peso”,
“Pesos”, “ARS” or “Ps.” we mean
Argentine Pesos, the lawful currency in Argentina; when we refer to
“U.S. dollars,”, “USD” or “US$”
we mean United States dollars, the lawful currency of the United
States of America; and when we refer to “Central Bank”
we mean the Banco Central de la
República Argentina (Argentine Central
Bank).
Solely
for the convenience of the reader, we have translated certain Peso
amounts into U.S. dollars at the offer exchange rate quoted by
Banco de la Nación Argentina for June 30, 2016, which was Ps.
15.04 = US$1.00. We make no representation that the Peso 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.

Solely for the
convenience of the reader we have translated Peso amounts into U.S.
Dollars at the seller exchange rate quoted by Banco de la
Nación Argentina as of June 30, 2016, which was Ps.15.04 per
US$1.00. We make no representation that the Argentine Peso or U.S.
Dollar amounts actually represent, could have been or could be
converted into U.S. Dollars at the rates indicated, at any
particular rate or at all. See “Exchange Rates”. Totals
may not sum due to rounding.
LOCAL
EXCHANGE MARKET AND EXCHANGE RATES
During
2001 and 2015, Argentine government had established a series of
exchange control measures that restricted the free disposition of
funds and the transfer of funds abroad. To 2011, the Argentine
government had significantly curtailed access to foreign exchange
by individuals and private sector entities, making 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 color, in December 2015,
one of the first measures taken by the Argentine government was to
lift the principal restrictions that limited access to individuals
to foreign exchange market. In this connection, Communication
“A” 5850 of the Central Bank admitted again the
possibility for individuals to have access to the local market,
however, up to a certain amount of money. As local economy became
stable in Argentina, and local markets reopened to foreign
commerce, the Central Bank issued on August 2016 Communication
“A” 6037 that lifted all remaining limitations.
Nowadays, all individuals have unrestrictive access to the local
exchange market, according to the conditions and procedures that
are explained in this document.
The
following table shows the maximum, minimum, average and closing
exchange rates for each period applicable to purchases of U.S.
dollars.

Although exchange
control regulations were lifted on August 2016, certain regulations
regarding the registration, disbursement, payment of principal and
interest and prepayments, among other exchange control measures
related to foreign indebtedness, remain in place, and we cannot
give you any assurance that additional exchange control regulations
will not be adopted in the future. See “Risk Factors—
Risks Relating to Argentina—Exchange controls and
restrictions on transfers abroad and capital inflow restrictions
have been limited in the past and may limit the availability of
international credit.”
Exchange controls
regulations currently in effect in Argentina include those
described below.
Registration Requirements
A
debtor must inform the Central Bank of any foreign indebtedness
(financial and commercial) it incurs and must register and validate
such indebtedness in accordance with Communication “A”
3602. Compliance with such information with the Central Bank is
required in order to enable such debtor to purchase foreign
currency in the Argentine foreign exchange market for the purpose
of servicing such foreign indebtedness, among others.
In
addition, all new foreign indebtedness of Argentine residents, as
well as any refinancing of existing foreign debt, must provide that
principal repayments thereunder are subject to a 120-day waiting
period in which principal cannot be paid.
Disbursements
Pursuant to
Communication “A” 5850, Argentine residents are no
longer obliged to settle proceeds received from foreign
indebtedness through the local exchange market. According to
Communication “A” 6037, Argentine residents will have
access to the local exchange money also at the time of repayment of
principal and interests.
Principal and Interest Payments
Foreign
currency necessary to pay principal and interest on foreign
indebtedness, according to Communication “A” 5850 and
Communication “A” 6037 can be purchased in the local
exchange market.
Corporate Profits and Dividends
Pursuant to foreign
exchange regulations, 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
In June
2005, the Argentine government imposed certain additional
restrictions on inflows and outflows of foreign currency to the
Argentine foreign exchange market through Decree No. 616/2005 as
amended and supplemented by Resolution 3/2015, such
as:
Minimum Term of Indebtedness
Financial
indebtedness incurred by Argentine residents with foreign creditors
(including refinancing of existing indebtedness) must be agreed
upon and cancelled within terms of no less than 120 calendar days
(waiting period), whatever the form of repayment thereof.
Additionally, no prepayment of such indebtedness may be made prior
to the expiration of such term, irrespective of the payment method
and whether or not termination entails the execution of a foreign
exchange trade in the local market.
Local Bank Account
The
results of inflows in the local exchange market required to be
credited in an account opened by a local financial entity, which
can be denominated in either local or foreign
currency.
No Restrictions on Residents on the Purchase of Foreign
Currency
Other Exchange Control Measures
Subject
to certain conditions, Central Bank regulations allow the purchase
of foreign currency in the Argentine foreign exchange market for
purposes of making payments on account of financial
derivatives.

Risk Factors
You
should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to
the other information contained in this annual report, before
making an investment decision. We also may face additional risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us, or which as of the
date of this annual report we might not consider significant, which
may adversely affect our business. In general, you take more risk
when you invest in securities of issuers in emerging markets, such
as Argentina, than when you invest in securities of issuers in the
United States, and certain other markets. You should understand
that an investment in our common shares and American Depository
Shares (“ADSs”) involves a high degree of risk,
including the possibility of loss of your entire
investment.
Risks Relating to Argentina
We depend on macroeconomic and political conditions in
Argentina.
We are
exposed to economic conditions in Argentina, considering that as of
the date of this annual report, substantially all of our assets
were located in Argentina and all of our activities are conducted
in Argentina. The Argentine economy has experienced significant
volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or
negative growth, high levels of inflation and currency devaluation,
and may experience further volatility in the future.
During
2001 and 2002, Argentina experienced a period of severe political,
economic and social crisis, which caused a significant economic
contraction and led to radical changes in government policies.
Among other consequences, the crisis resulted in Argentina
defaulting on its foreign debt obligations, introducing emergency
measures and numerous changes in economic policies that affected
the utility companies and many other sectors of the economy, and
suffering a significant devaluation of the Peso, which in turn
caused numerous Argentine private sector debtors with foreign
currency exposure to default on their outstanding debt. Although
the economy has largely recovered from the crisis, during 2014, the
Argentine economy showed signs of slowdown due to the increase in
the applicable exchange rates and decreases in commodity prices.
The Argentine economy is suffering high inflation and has an
increasing need of capital investment, with many sectors,
particularly the energy sector, operating near full
capacity.
The
ongoing economic slowdown suggests uncertainty as to whether the
economic growth experienced in the past decade is sustainable. This
is mainly because economic growth was initially dependent on a
significant devaluation of the Peso, excess production capacity
resulting from a long period of deep recession and high commodity
prices. Furthermore, the economy has suffered from a sustained
erosion of direct investment and capital investment. After the 2001
economic crisis, Argentina recovered with significant increases in
gross domestic product (“GDP”) at an average of 8.5% on
an annual basis between 2003 and 2008. As a result of the 2008
global financial crisis, Argentina GDP’s growth rate
decreased to 0.9% in 2009, though growth rebounded to 9.2% in 2010
and 8.9% in 2011. During 2012, the Argentine economy experienced a
slowdown, with GDP increasing at a rate of 1.9%. In March 2014, the
Argentine government announced a new method of calculating GDP as
requested by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”)
(using 2004 as the base year instead of 1993, which was the base
reference year used in the prior method of GDP calculation).
Following changes in the methodology used in calculating GDP, the
National Institute of Statistics (Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas y
Censos or “INDEC” as per its acronym in Spanish)
reported that Argentina’s GDP’s growth rate for 2013
was 3%, 0.5% for 2014, this decrease was principally due to the
deceleration of the global economy and prevailing macroeconomic
conditions in Argentina during 2014, and 2.3% for 2015. As of July
31, 2016, the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator (Estimador Mensual de Actividad
Económica, or the “EMAE”) decreased 5.9%,
relative to the same period in the prior year, according to data
published by the INDEC. Argentina’s relative stability since
2002 has been affected by increased social and political tension
and government intervention in the economy.
Our
business depends to a significant extent on macroeconomic and
political conditions in Argentina. In early December 2015, Mr.
Mauricio Macri, was elected president in Argentina. The President
is expected, to continue promoting policies designed to reverse
some of the policies adopted by prior administrations, especially
economic policies and exchange control regulations. However, until
any changes in laws and regulations are enacted, we are uncertain
how any such changes may affect our business and results of
operations. Deterioration of the country’s economy would
likely have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
There are concerns about the accuracy of Argentina’s official
inflation statistics.
In
January 2007, the INDEC began to calculate the CPI, based on the
monthly average of a weighted basket of consumer goods and services
to reflect the pattern of consumption of Argentine households. At
the 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, 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 a new national
CPI data with the aim of modernizing the current statistical
system. During the first quarter of 2011, a team from the IMF
started collaborating with the INDEC in order to create such an
index. Notwithstanding such efforts, reports 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 has 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 without further delay.
In
order to address the quality of official data, a new consumer price
index denominated Urban National Consumer’s Price Index
(Indice de Precios al Consumidor
Nacional urbano, or the “IPCNu”), was enacted on
February 13, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the IPCNu
was 23.9%. 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.. In
addition, in February 2014, the INDEC released a new GDP index for
2013, equal to 3.0%, which differs from the GDP index originally
released by the INDEC for the same period which was 5.5%. 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. If the
IMF finds that the methodology of INDEC for calculating a new
measure of CPI or GDP is inaccurate, or concludes that its
methodology should be adjusted, that could result in financial and
economic consequences for Argentina, including a lack of access to
financing from IMF. If the IMF adopts any measures against
Argentina, the Argentine economy could suffer adverse effects,
either by limiting access to international financial markets or
increasing the financing cost associated therewith, which in turn
would adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
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 on statistical data until the technical reorganization
process is completed and the administrative structure of the INDEC
is recomposed.
After
this process of reorganization and recovery, the INDEC began to
gradually publish official data. In this regard, on June 15, 2016,
July 13, 2016, August 12, 2016, September 13, 2016 and October 13,
2016 the INDEC published inflation data of the months of in May,
June, July, August and September reflecting a monthly increase of
4.2%, 3.1%, 2.0%, 0.2% and 1.1%, respectively; however, at the date
hereof, the CPI for the first four months of 2016 has not been
published.
In
addition, on June 29, 2016, the INDEC recalculated historical GDP
data dating back to 2014, and GDP growth was estimated at 2.3% in
2013, a decrease of 2.6% in 2014, an increase of 2.4% in 2015 and
an increase to 0.5% in the first six month of 2016. Uncertainty
still remains regarding the reliability of the economic indicators
which remains a factor that negatively affects the economy of
Argentina and our business. However, on October 5, 2016, the first
IMF audit of the Argentine public accounts was completed,
concluding that the new government has achieved important progress
in request of these statistical data. As of the date of this annual
report, the Argentine government was waiting for the final report
of the IMF, which will possibly include the lifting of the censure
against Argentina.
Notwithstanding
these measures to address appropriate inflation statistics, there
are private reports implying significantly higher inflation rates
than the official reports of the INDEC. Despite the changes adopted
by the INDEC to the measurement procedure with the IPCNu, there are
still some differences between the figures resulting from this
indicator and those recorded by private consultants, the Argentine
Congress and the provincial statistic agencies. If it is determined
that it is necessary to unfavorably adjust the consumer price index
and other INDEC indices, there could be a significant decrease in
confidence in the Argentine economy, which could, in turn, have a
material adverse effect on us.
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. 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,
11.9% in the ten-month period ended October, 31 2015. 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.
In
November 2015, the INDEC suspended the publication of the CPI.
According to the most recent publicly available information based
on data from the Province of San Luis, the CPI grew by 31.6% in
2015 and the inflation rate was 6.5%, 4.2%, 2.7%, 3.0% and 3.4% in
December 2015 and January, February, March and April 2016,
respectively. According to the most recent publicly available
information based on data from the City of Buenos Aires, the CPI
grew by 26.9% in 2015 and the inflation rate was 3.9%, 4.1%, 4.0%,
3.3% and 6.5% in December 2015 and January, February, March and
April 2016, respectively. After implementing certain methodological
reforms and adjusting certain macroeconomic statistics on the basis
of these reforms, in June 2016 the INDEC resumed its CPI
publications. According to the INDEC, Argentina’s rate of
inflation rate was 4.2%, 3.1%, 2.0%, 0.2% and 1.1% in May, June,
July, August and September 2016, respectively.
A high
inflationary environment would undermine Argentina’s
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 to businesses. In turn, 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 Argentine external debt and consequently in Argentina’s
financial obligations, which could exacerbate the stress on 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
decisions.
Inflation rates
could escalate in the future, and there is uncertainty regarding
the effects that the measures adopted, or that may be adopted in
the future, by the Argentine government to control inflation may
have. If inflation remains high or continues to rise,
Argentina’s economy may be negatively impacted and our
results of operations could be materially affected.
Argentina’s ability to obtain financing from international
markets may be limited, which may in turn impair its ability to
implement reforms and public policies and foster economic growth
and could impact the ability of Argentine companies to obtain
financing.
Argentina’s
2001 sovereign default and its failure to fully restructure its
sovereign debt and negotiate with the holdout creditors has limited
Argentina’s ability to access international financing. As a
result of debt exchanges in 2005 and 2010, Argentina restructured
approximately 92% of its defaulted debt that was eligible for
restructuring. Holdout bondholders that declined to participate in
the restructurings, however, filed lawsuits against Argentina in
several countries, including the United States. Since late 2012,
rulings from courts in the United States favorable to holdout
bondholders have exacerbated investors’ concerns about
investing in the country.
Additionally,
foreign shareholders of several Argentine companies have filed
claims with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment
Disputes (the “ICSID”) alleging that the emergency
measures adopted by the Argentine government since the crisis of
2001 and 2002 differ from the just and equal treatment standards
set forth in several bilateral investment treaties to which
Argentina is a party. Many of these claims have been ruled against
Argentina.
Holdout
creditors litigation, as well as ICSID and other claims against the
Argentine government, resulted in material judgments against the
government, led to attachments of or injunctions relating to
Argentina’s assets, and prevented Argentina from obtaining
favorable terms or
interest rates when
accessing international capital markets or from accessing
international financing at all. Moreover, between June 2009 and
2011, a greater number of Argentine companies gained access to the
international capital markets, albeit on more onerous terms than
other competitors in the region, but since 2012, with few
exceptions, Argentine companies have had little access to such
markets.
The new
administration engaged in negotiations with holders of defaulted
bonds in December 2015 with a view to bringing closure to fifteen
years of litigation. In February 2016, the Argentine government
entered into an agreement to settle with certain holders of
defaulted debt and put forward a proposal to other holders of
defaulted debt, including those with pending claims in U.S. courts,
subject to two conditions: obtaining approval by the Argentine
Congress and the lifting of the pari passu injunctions. On March 2,
2016, the U.S. district court agreed to vacate the pari passu
injunctions, subject to two conditions: first, the repealing of all
legislative obstacles to settlement with holders of defaulted debt
securities, and second, the full payment to holders of pari passu
injunctions with whom the Argentine Government had entered into an
agreement in principle on or before February 29, 2016, in
accordance with the specific terms of such agreements. The U.S.
district court’s order was appealed and on April 13, 2016 was
affirmed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. On March 31, 2016,
the Argentine Congress ratified these settlement agreements through
Law 27,249 and repealed Law No. 26,017 and Law No. 26,984. In
recent months, the Argentine government has reached settlement
agreements with holders of a significant portion of the defaulted
bonds and has repaid the majority of the holdout creditors with the
proceeds from a US$16.5 billion international offering of 3-year,
5-year, 10-year and 30-year bonds on April 22, 2016, through which
Argentina regained access to the international capital markets. As
of the date of this annual report, litigation initiated by
bondholders that have not accepted Argentina’s settlement
offer continues in several jurisdictions, although the size of the
claims involved has decreased significantly.
Holdout
creditors litigation, as well as ICSID and other claims against the
Argentine government, have resulted and may result in new material
judgments against the government, lead to attachments of or
injunctions relating to Argentina’s assets, or could bring
Argentina to default on its other obligations, which could prevent
Argentina from obtaining favorable terms or interest rates when
accessing international capital markets or from accessing
international financing at all. Although Argentina recently
regained access to the international markets, its ability to obtain
international or multilateral private financing or direct foreign
investment may be limited, which may in turn impair its ability to
implement reforms and public policies to foster economic growth. In
addition, Argentina’s ongoing litigation with the remaining
holdout creditors as well as ICSID and other claims against the
Argentine government, or any future defaults by Argentina with its
financial obligations, may prevent Argentine companies, such as us,
from accessing the international capital markets or cause the terms
of any such transactions to be less favorable than those provided
to companies in other countries in the region, potentially
impacting our financial condition.
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 (the “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.
As of
the date of this annual report, there are four final awards issued
by ICSID tribunals against Argentina for an aggregate total amount
of US$470.66 million and Argentina is seeking the annulment of four
additional awards for an aggregate total amount of US$831.73
million. There are six ongoing cases against Argentina before ICSID
with claims totaling US$2.15 billion (including two cases with
claims for amounts that are currently undetermined), and in three
of these cases (with aggregate claims for US$2.08 billion) the
ICSID tribunal has already ruled that it has jurisdiction. There
are eight additional cases with claims totaling
US$6.17 billion in which the parties agreed to suspend the
proceedings pending settlement discussions (including the
proceedings initiated by Task Force Argentina, an Italian
bondholder association known as “TFA”). A successful
completion of these negotiations could lead additional ICSID
claimants to withdraw their claims, although Argentina can offer no
assurance to this effect.
It is
not certain that Argentina will prevail in having any or all of
those cases dismissed, or that if awards in favor of the plaintiffs
are granted, that it will succeed in having those awards
annulled.
Claimants have also
filed claims before arbitral tribunals under the rules of the
United Nations Commission on International Trade Law
(“UNCITRAL”) and under the rules of the International
Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). As of the date of
this annual report, there are three final awards against Argentina
for an aggregate total amount of US$246.27 million and
Argentina is seeking the annulment of an additional award for
US$96,509. There are three ongoing cases against Argentina before
UNCITRAL and ICC tribunals with claims totaling
US$625.08 million, including one case with a
US$507.80 million claim in which the tribunal has already
ruled that it has jurisdiction. There is one additional case with a
claim of US$168.69 million in which the parties agreed to
suspend the proceedings pending settlement
discussions.
We
cannot give any assurance that Argentina will prevail in having any
or all of those 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 to international
credit.
The amendment of the Central Bank’s Charter and the
Convertibility Law may adversely affect the Argentine
economy.
On
March 22, 2012, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 26,739, which
amended the charter of the Central Bank and Law No. 23,298 (the
“Convertibility Law”). See “Argentina’s ability to obtain financing
from international markets is limited, which may impair its ability
to implement reforms and foster economic growth”
above.
This new law amends the objectives of the Central Bank (established
in its charter) and removes certain provisions previously in force.
Pursuant to the amendment, the Central Bank focuses on promoting
monetary and financial stability as well as development with social
equity.
A key
component of the amendment of the Central Bank charter relates to
the use of international reserves. Pursuant to this amendment, the
Central Bank reserves may be made available to the government for
the repayment of debt or to finance public expenses. During 2013,
the currency reserves in U.S. dollars held by the Argentine
government in the Central Bank decreased significantly, from
US$43.3 billion in 2012 to US$30.6 billion in 2013, while during
2014 the reserves increased slightly to US$31.4 billion as of
December 31, 2014. The Central Bank’s stock of foreign
currency reserves was US$33.9 billion as of June 30, 2015 and after
the payment of the sovereign bond, BODEN 15, on October
3,
2015, the stock of foreign currency reserves was US$27.7 billion,
and rose to US$30.5 billion as of June
30, 2016. This use of the Central Bank reserves for expanded
purposes by the Argentine government may result in Argentina being
more vulnerable to inflation or external shocks, affecting the
country’s capacity to overcome the effects of an external
crisis.
Significant fluctuation in the value of the Peso may adversely
affect the Argentine economy as well as our financial
performance.
Notwithstanding the
positive effects of the depreciation of the Peso in 2002 in respect
of the competitiveness of certain sectors of the Argentine economy,
the depreciation has negatively impacted the Argentine economy and
the financial condition of companies and individuals in Argentina.
The devaluation of the Peso has had a negative impact on the
ability of Argentine businesses to honor their foreign
currency-denominated debt, initially led to very high inflation,
significantly reduced real wages, had a negative impact on
businesses whose success is dependent on domestic market demand,
such as utilities and the financial industry, and adversely
affected the government’s ability to honor its foreign debt
obligations.
Since
the strengthening of exchange controls began in late 2011, and upon
the introduction of measures that have limited access to foreign
currency by private companies and individuals (such as requiring an
authorization of tax authorities to access the foreign currency
exchange market), the implied exchange rate, as reflected in the
quotations for Argentine securities that trade in foreign markets
compared to the corresponding quotations in the local market, has
increased significantly over the official exchange rate, such
measures were lifted on December 16, 2015. However, 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.
If the
Peso continues to devalue, all of the negative effects on the
Argentine economy related to such devaluation could reappear, with
adverse consequences on our business. Moreover, it would likely
result in a material adverse effect in our business as a result of
the exposure to financial commitments denominated in U.S. Dollar.
While certain of our office space leases are denominated in U.S.
dollars, we are only partially protected against Peso devaluation
as payment is fixed in Pesos and there can be no assurance we will
be able to maintain our U.S. Dollar-denominated
leases.
On the
other hand, a substantial increase in the value 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 foreign currency
denominated assets exceed their foreign currency-denominated
liabilities, such as us. In addition, in the short term, a
significant real appreciation of the Peso would adversely affect
exports. This could have a negative effect on GDP growth and
employment as well as reduce the Argentine public sector’s
revenues by reducing tax collection in real terms, given its
current heavy reliance on taxes on exports. The appreciation of the
Peso against the U.S. Dollar could have an adverse effect on the
Argentine economy and our business.
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 direct
intervention in the economy through the implementation or change of
laws and regulations, such as, among other things,
nationalizations, or 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; 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. More recently, beginning in April 2012, the
Argentine government provided for the nationalization of YPF S.A.
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. (the former principal shareholder of YPF S.A.)
announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of the
compensation payable to Repsol for the expropriation of the YPF
S.A. shares. Such compensation totaled US$5 billion, payable by
delivery of Argentine sovereign bonds with various maturities. In
April 23, 2014, the agreement with Repsol was approved by the
Argentine Congress and accordingly, in May 8, 2014, Repsol, S.A.
received the relevant Argentine government bonds.
Additionally, on
December 19, 2012, the Argentine government issued Decree No.
2552/2012, which ordered the expropriation of the “Predio
Rural de Palermo.” However, on January 4, 2013, the Federal
Civil and Commercial Chamber granted an injunction that momentarily
blocked the enforceability of Decree No. 2552/2012; notwithstanding
the foregoing on June 1, 2015, the injunction was released. On June
2, 2015, this decision was appealed, and as a result the
aforementioned injunction is still effective and the effects of the
Decree No. 2552/2012 remain blocked as of the date hereof. The
Argentine government filed a motion to revoke the injunction which
was rejected by the Federal Civil and Commercial Chamber and as a
consequence the Argentine government filed an extraordinary motion
with the Supreme Court, which was
rejected and therefore the injunction remains effective. As
of the date of this annual report the
Argentine government has answered the claim and requested the
registration of the litis. The court granted the registration of the
litis
and ordered to notify the plaintiff
of the answer of the claim filed by the Argentine Government
however the notification has not been received by the
plaintiff. The Decree No. 2552/2012 may indirectly affect
our investment in Entertainment Holding S.A.
(“EHSA”).
Furthermore, on May
18, 2015, we were notified that the Agencia de Administración de Bienes del
Estado (“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 have not been complied by
the AABE. Furthermore, we filed an administrative appeal requesting
the dismissal of the revocation of the agreement and a lawsuit
seeking to declare the 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 center continues to operate
normally.
There
are other recent examples of government intervention. In December
2012 and August 2013, the Argentine Congress established new
regulations relating to domestic capital markets. The new
regulations generally provide for increased intervention in the
capital markets by the government, authorizing, for example, the
CNV to appoint observers with the ability to veto the decisions of
the board of directors of companies admitted to the public offering
regime under certain circumstances and suspend the board of
directors for a period of up to 180 days. Notwithstanding, the new
government is working on an amendment to the Capital Markets Law,
which will, among other things, take off the CNV the authorization
to appoint observers mentioned before.
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, etc., 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 presidential, congressional and certain municipal and
state government elections that were held in October and November
2015 generated political uncertainty as to whether the new
Argentine government, which took office on December 10, 2015, would
implement changes in policy or regulation that could adversely
affect the Argentine economy. As of the date of this annual report,
the Argentine government has adopted a series of economic actions
and foreign exchange regulations whose effects will be seen in the
coming months. The President of Argentina and its Congress each
have considerable power to determine governmental policies and
actions that relate to the Argentine economy and, consequently, may
affect our results of operations or financial condition. We can
offer no assurances that the policies that may be implemented by
the new Argentine government will not adversely affect our
business, results of operations or financial
condition.
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 public and private sectors
experienced significant pressure from their employees and labor
organizations to increase wages and to provide additional employee
benefits. In August 2012, the Argentine government established a
25% increase in minimum monthly salary to Ps.2,875, effective as of
February 2013. The Argentine government increased the minimum
monthly salary to Ps.3,300 in August 2013, to Ps.3,600 in January
2014, to Ps.4,400 in September 2014, to Ps.4,716 in January 2015,
to Ps.5,588 in August 2015 and to Ps.6,060 from January 2016. Due
to ongoing high levels of inflation, employers in both the public
and private sectors continue to experience significant pressure
from unions and their employees to increase salaries. During the
first months of the year 2016, various unions have agreed with
employers’ associations on salary increases between 30% and
35%.
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 2016. Any such increase in
wage or worker benefit could result in added costs and reduced
results operations for 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. Most of the
properties we own are located in Argentina. As a result, a
reduction in the value of properties in Argentina could materially
affect our business.
Restrictions on transfers of foreign currency and the repatriation
of capital from Argentina may impair our ability to pay dividends
and distributions.
According to
current 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, some of which are still in effect. With the
administration of President Macri, many of the ongoing restrictions
were lifted.
On
January 7, 2003, the Central Bank issued communication
“A” 3859, 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 in order 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 prior administration
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 through the date of this annual report. As a result of
these informal restrictions, local residents and companies may be
prevented from purchasing foreign currency through the foreign
exchange market (“Mercado
Único y Libre de Cambios” or “MULC”)
for the purpose of making payments abroad, such as dividends,
capital reductions, and payment for importation of goods and
services.
Together with the
new Argentine administration, such restrictions and other foreign
exchange control measures were lifted, 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-Argentine
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 FX market.
However, in the
future, the Argentine government or the Central Bank may impose
formal restrictions to the payment of dividends abroad and
established additional requirements. Any restrictions on
transferring funds abroad imposed by the government could undermine
our ability to pay dividends on our ADSs in U.S.
Dollars.
Exchange
controls and restrictions on transfers abroad and capital inflow
restrictions have been limited in the past and may limit the
availability of international credit.
Until
December 2015, many foreign exchange restrictions and controls
imposed by the Argentine government had limited the abilities of
companies and individuals to access to the Exchange Market
(Mercado Unico y Libre de
Cambios). 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 Mercado Unico y
Libre de Cambios was granted for the purchase of foreign
currency intended for general purposes, without the need for the
Central Bank’s or AFIP’s consent, and eliminating the
requirement to deposit 30% of certain capital inflows, subsequently
extended by Communication "A" 5963 and 5964. Also, on August 8,
2016, the Central Bank issued Communication "A" 6037, in which the
exchange regulations, requiring presentation of documentation to
justify each exchange operation, and the daily and monthly caps an
exchange transactions on internet banking were
eliminated.
Although these
recent changes in the foreign exchange regime tend to allow free
access by companies and individuals to the local consumer foreign
exchange market, certain limitations remain in effect including the
following:
●
The proceeds of
foreign currency sales in the local exchange market exceeding the
peso equivalent of US$2,500 per month must be credited in pesos in
a checking or savings account with a local financial
institution;
●
It is no longer
necessary that the proceeds of external indebtedness be entered or
settled in the local foreign exchange market;
●
Any external
indebtedness incurred or renewed after December 17, 2015 must
remain in Argentina for a period of at least 120 calendar days from
the date the proceeds were transferred into Argentina;
and
●
Capital inflows
into the local foreign exchange market must be credited in an
account opened with a local financial institution.
Notwithstanding the
measures adopted by the new administration, which lifted certain
exchange and capital controls, 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 “Exchange Rates and Exchange
Controls.”
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 2015, there were
declines in exports of 14% with Chile, 26% with MERCOSUR (Brazil)
and 16% with NAFTA (the United States, Mexico and Canada), each as
compared to 2014. Declining demand for Argentine exports could have
a material adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth. For
example, the recent significant devaluation 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, may have an adversely
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.
The
international economy is showing contradictory signals of global
growth, leading to significant financial uncertainty. There is
growing concern about the deceleration of growth in China in
particular as well as the significant decline in global commodity
prices, particularly oil and gas. 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, with no substantial
positive signals from other developed countries. 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. 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. The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum
have caused, and are anticipated to continue causing, volatility in
the financial markets, which may 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.
High
commodity prices have contributed significantly to the increase in
Argentine exports since the third quarter of 2002 as well as in
governmental revenues from export taxes (withholdings). However,
this reliance on the export of certain commodities, such as soy,
has made the Argentine economy more vulnerable to fluctuations in
their prices. In December 2015, the new Argentine administration
announced a plan to gradually reduce the exports tax payable by soy
growers from January 2018 to December 2019, and eliminated export
taxes on wheat, corn, sorghum and sunflower, in an attempt to
encourage exports.
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, 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 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 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. In
February 2016, the Argentine government revised the tariff schedule
for electricity and gas rates and eliminated the subsidies for
these utilities, (except for tariffs for certain economically
vulnerable sectors). As a result, energy costs are expected to increase by 500% or
more. By correcting tariffs, modifying the regulatory framework and
reducing the federal government’s role as an active market
participant, the new administration aims to correct distortions in
the energy sector and stimulate 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 Martin suspended the increase in gas
tariffs across the country until a public hearing to discuss the
electricity tariffs increase is set. The case was brought before
the Supreme Court of Argentina, and on August 18, 2016, the Supreme
Court of Argentina upheld the suspension of gas tariffs increase to
residential customers, arguing that a tariffs increase could not be
established without public hearings. A public hearing on the
increase was held on September 16, 2016 and as result, the increase
in gas tariffs will be increased by approximately 203% effective in
October 2016, with semi-annual increases until 2019. In relation to
other services (water, transport and electricity), the government
announced that other public meetings will be held in
mid-October.
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 by 43% year over year 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 (Federal Social Security Agency, or
“ANSES”, as per its acronym in Spanish) to source part
of its funding requirements. In 2015, this trend continued as
primary fiscal balance showed a deficit of 5.4% as of December 31,
2015.
Recently, the
Argentine government has begun adjusting its subsidy policies,
particularly those related to energy, electricity and gas, water
and public transportation. 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 continue to 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.
Risks
Relating to Our Business
We are subject to risks inherent to the operation of shopping
centers that may affect our profitability.
Our
shopping centers are subject to various factors that affect their
development, administration and profitability,
including:
●
decline in our
lease prices or increases in levels of default by our tenants due
to economic conditions, increases in interest rates and other
factors that we cannot control;
●
the accessibility
and the attractiveness of the area where the shopping center is
located;
●
the intrinsic
attractiveness of the shopping center;
●
the flow of people
and the level of sales of each shopping center rental
unit;
●
increasing
competition from internet sales;
●
the amount of rent
collected from each shopping center 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 our shopping centers.
An
increase in our operating costs, caused by inflation or by other
factors, 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 center business is closely related to
consumer spending and by prevailing economic conditions that affect
potential customers. All of our shopping centers and commercial
properties are located in Argentina, and, as a consequence, their
business could be seriously affected by a recession in Argentina.
For example, during the economic crisis in Argentina, spending
decreased significantly, unemployment, political instability and
inflation significantly reduced consumer spending in Argentina,
lowering tenants’ sales and forcing some tenants to leave our
shopping centers. Persistently poor economic conditions in
Argentina will likely have a material adverse effect on the
revenues from shopping center activity and thus on our
business.
Our performance is subject to risks associated with our properties
and with the real estate industry.
Our
economic performance and the value of our real estate assets are
subject to the risk that our properties may not be able to generate
sufficient revenues to meet our operating expenses, including debt
service and capital expenditures, our cash flow and ability to
service our debt and to cover other expenses may be adversely
affected.
Events
or conditions beyond our control that may adversely affect our
operations or the value of our properties include:
●
downturns in the
national, regional and local economic climate;
●
volatility and
decline in discretionary spending;
●
competition from
other shopping centers 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
●
interpretation by
judges of the New Civil and Commercial Code (in force from August
1, 2015) which may be adverse to our interests.
If any
one or more of the foregoing conditions were to affect our
business, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
An adverse economic environment for real estate companies such as a
credit crisis may adversely impact our results of operations and
business prospects significantly.
The
success of our business and profitability of our operations depend
on continued investment in the real estate markets and access to
capital and debt financing. A long term crisis of confidence in
real estate investments and lack of credit for acquisitions may
constrain our business growth. As part of our business goals, we
intend to increase our properties portfolio though strategic
acquisitions of core properties at advantageous prices, where we
believe we can bring the necessary expertise to enhance property
values. In order to pursue acquisitions, we may need access to
equity capital and/or debt financing. Any disruptions in the
financial markets, including the bankruptcy and restructuring of
major financial institutions, may adversely impact our 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 tempered by decreasing property
values. Our ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance our
obligations with respect to indebtedness depends on our 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 key or anchor tenants could adversely affect both the
operating revenues and value of our properties.
If
certain of our most important tenants were to experience financial
difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general
downturn of business, or if we simply failed to retain their
patronage, our business could be adversely affected. Our shopping
centers are typically anchored by significant tenants, such as
well-known department stores that generate shopping traffic at the
mall. Further, certain tenants are also very important for our
office buildings. A decision by such significant tenants to cease
operations at our shopping centers or our office buildings, as
applicable, could have a material adverse effect on the revenues
and profitability of the affected segment and, by extension, on our
financial condition and results of our operations. In addition, the
closing of one or more significant tenants at our shopping centers
may induce other major tenants at an affected property to terminate
their leases, to seek rent relief and/or cease operating their
stores or otherwise adversely affect occupancy at the property.
Moreover, key 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 one
or more significant tenants, if we are 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.
We may face risks associated with property
acquisitions.
We have
in the past acquired, and intend to acquire in the future,
properties, including large properties that would increase our size
and potentially alter our capital structure. Although we believe
that the acquisitions that we have completed in the past and that
we expect to undertake in the future have, and will, enhance our
future financial performance, the success of such transactions is
subject to a number of uncertainties, including the risk
that:
●
we 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 our estimates; and
●
acquired properties
may be located in new markets where we 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 we
acquire new properties, we may not be able to efficiently integrate
acquired properties, particularly portfolios of properties, into
our organization and to manage new properties in a way that allows
us to realize cost savings and synergies, which could impair our
results of operations.
Our future acquisitions may be unprofitable.
We
intend to acquire additional properties to the extent that we
manage to acquire them on advantageous terms and conditions and
they meet our investment criteria. Acquisitions of commercial
properties entail general investment risks associated with any real
estate investment, including:
●
our estimates of
the cost of improvements needed to bring the property up to
established standards for the market may prove to be
inaccurate;
●
properties we
acquire may fail to achieve, within the time frames we project, the
occupancy or rental rates we expect to achieve at the time we make
the decision to acquire, which may result in the properties’
failure to achieve the returns we projected;
●
our pre-acquisition
evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not
detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs, which could
significantly increase our total acquisition costs;
and
●
our investigation
of a property or building prior to its acquisition, and any
representations we 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 our acquisition
cost.
If we
acquire a business, we 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 our operations and divert
management’s attention away from day-to-day operations, which
could impair our relationships with our current tenants and
employees.
Properties we acquire may subject us to unknown
liabilities.
Properties that we
acquire may be subject to unknown liabilities and we would have no
recourse, or only limited recourse to the former owners of the
properties. Thus, if a liability were asserted against us based
upon ownership of an acquired property, we might be required to pay
significant sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our
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.
Our dependence on rental income may adversely affect our ability to
meet our debt obligations.
A
substantial part of our income is derived from rental income from
real property. As a result, our performance depends on our ability
to collect rent from tenants. Our income and funds for distribution
would be negatively affected if a significant number of our
tenants, or any of our major tenants (as discussed in more detail
below):
●
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 rental income attributable to the terminated leases. In
addition, we cannot assure you that any tenant whose lease expires
will renew that lease or that we will be able to re-lease space on
economically advantageous terms or at all. The loss of rental
revenues from a number of our tenants and our inability to replace
such tenants may adversely affect our profitability and our ability
to meet debt and other financial obligations.
It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly and
transfer restrictions may apply to part of our portfolio of
properties.
Real
estate investments are relatively illiquid and this tends to limit
our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in the
economy 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, our business would be adversely affected. Further, if it
becomes necessary or desirable for us to dispose of one or more of
our mortgaged properties, we 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 our
business.
Some of the land we have purchased is not zoned for development
purposes, and we may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in
obtaining, the necessary zoning permits and other
authorizations.
We own
several plots of land which are not zoned for the type of projects
we intend to develop. In addition, we do not yet have the required
land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental
permits and authorizations for these properties. We cannot assure
you that we will continue to be successful in our 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, we may be affected by
building moratorium and anti-growth legislation. If we are unable
to obtain all of the governmental permits and authorizations we
need to develop our present and future projects as planned, we may
be forced to make unwanted modifications to such projects or
abandon them altogether.
Our ability to grow will be limited if we cannot obtain additional
financing.
We must
maintain liquidity to fund our working capital, service our
outstanding indebtedness and finance investment opportunities.
Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to curtail our
operations or we may not be able to pursue new business
opportunities.
Our
growth strategy is focused on the development and redevelopment of
properties we already own and the acquisition and development of
additional properties. As a result, we are 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. We
cannot guarantee that additional financing, refinancing or other
capital will be available in the amounts we desire or on favorable
terms. Our access to debt or equity capital markets depends on a
number of factors, including the market’s perception of our
growth potential, our ability to pay dividends, our financial
condition, our credit rating and our current and potential future
earnings. Depending on these factors, we could experience delays or
difficulties in implementing our 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 our
current resources do not satisfy our liquidity requirements, we 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 our credit ratings, as
well as the possibility that lenders could develop a negative
perception of the prospects of our company or the industry
generally. We may not be able to successfully obtain any necessary
additional financing on favorable terms, or at all.
Serious illnesses and pandemics, such as the 2009 outbreak of
Influenza A H1N1 virus (the “Swine Flu”) and the
current Zika virus, have in the past adversely affected consumer
and tourist activity, may do so in the future and may adversely
affect our results of operations.
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 centers. Even though the Argentine government
only issued public service recommendations to the population
regarding the risks involved in visiting crowded places, such as
shopping centers, and did not issue specific regulations limiting
access to public places, a significant number of consumers
nonetheless changed their habits vis-a-vis shopping centers and
malls. Similarly, the current zika virus pandemic may result in
similar courses and outcomes. We 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 tourist activity, and that such scenario would not adversely
affect our businesses.
Adverse incidents that occur in our shopping centers may result in
damage to our image and a decrease in the number of
customers.
Given
that shopping centers are open to the public, with ample
circulation of people, accidents, theft, robbery and other
incidents may occur in our facilities, regardless of the
preventative measures we adopt. In the event such an incident or
series of incidents occurs, shopping center 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 our shopping centers.
Argentine Law governing leases imposes restrictions that limit our
flexibility.
Argentine laws
governing leases impose certain restrictions, including the
following:
●
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 due to the circumstances, the
subject matter of the lease agreement requires a shorter
term.
As a
result of the foregoing, we are exposed to the risk of increases of
inflation under our leases, and the exercise of rescission rights
by our tenants could materially and adversely affect our business.
We cannot assure you that our 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 (the “Civil and Commercial
Code”) which became effective on and June 30, 2015, is in
force since August 1, 2015, requires that lease agreement provide
for a minimum term of two years, and a maximum term of twenty years
for residential leases and of fifty years for other purpose 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 legal
framework currently in force, 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. Although certain judicial decisions have set
forth that this regulation regarding foreign currency can be left
aside by the parties to an agreement, it is still too early to
determine whether or not this legal provision can be left aside in
an agreement as a general rule. 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.
We may be liable for some defects in our buildings.
According to the
former Argentine Civil Code, the builder of a real estate
development was liable in case of property damage – meaning
the damages compromises the structure and/or the defects render the
building no longer useful – for a period of 10 years since
the possession of the property; on the other hand, the builder was
liable for the latent defects, even when those defects did not
imply significant property damage. In addition, according to the
former Argentine Civil Code, such liability was extended to the
technical project manager and the designer of any given project.
Furthermore, in certain cases, such as when consumer law was
involved, the liability could be extended to the developer. The
Civil and Commercial Code, which became effective on August 1,
2015, has similar provisions to those included in the former
Argentine Civil Code and expressly extends the liability for such
damage to real estate developers (i.e., any person who sells real estate
built by either themselves or by a third party contractor), and any
other person involved in the project, in addition to the liability
of the builder, the technical project manager and the designer of
any given project. According to the Civil and Commercial Code, the
warranty period for latent defects expires after three years of the
client taking possession of the real estate, and both the builder
and the seller are liable for such defects.
In our
real estate developments we usually act as developers and sellers
and we build through third-party contractors. Absent a specific
claim, we cannot quantify the potential cost of any obligation that
may arise as a result of a future claim, and we have not recorded
provisions associated with them in our financial statements. If we
were required to remedy any defects on completed works, our
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected.
Eviction proceedings in Argentina are difficult and time
consuming.
Although Argentine
law permits a summary 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.
We have
usually attempted 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 our financial condition and results of
operation.
We are subject to risks inherent to the operation of office
buildings that may affect our 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 our
tenants; and
●
maintenance, repair
and renovation costs incurred to maintain the competitiveness of
our office buildings.
If we
are unable to adequately address these factors, any one of them
could adversely impact our business, which would have an adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
Our investment in property development and management activities
may be less profitable than we anticipate.
We are
engaged in the development and management of shopping centers,
office buildings and other rental properties, frequently through
third-party contractors. Risks associated with our development and
management activities include the following, among
others:
●
abandonment of
development opportunities and renovation proposals;
●
construction costs
of a project may exceed our 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 our 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
our tenants’ demand for rental properties; and
●
we may incur
capital expenditures that could result in considerable time
consuming efforts and which may never be completed due to
government restrictions.
In
addition, we 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
our policies with respect to expansion, renovation and development
activities are intended to limit some of the risks otherwise
associated with such activities, we are 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 our control, as well as financing costs, 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 our operating results.
We are subject to great competitive pressure.
Our
real estate activities (in particular due to the acquisition of the
office buildings in December 2014) 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 us 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 center business in Argentina, further
increasing this competition. To the extent that one or more of our
competitors are able to acquire and develop desirable properties,
as a result of greater financial resources or otherwise, our
business could be materially and adversely affected. If we are not
able to respond to such pressures as promptly as our competitors,
or the level of competition increases, our financial condition and
results of our operations could be adversely affected.
All of
our shopping center and commercial office properties are located in
Argentina. There are other shopping centers 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 our ability
to lease retail space in our shopping centers or sell units in our
residential complexes and on the amount of rent or the sale price
that we are able to charge. We cannot assure you that other
shopping center operators, including international shopping center
operators, will not invest in Argentina in the near future. If
additional companies become active in the Argentine shopping center
market in the future, such competition could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations.
Substantially all
of our offices and other non-shopping center rental properties are
located in developed urban areas. There are many office buildings,
shopping malls, retail and residential premises in the areas where
our properties are located. This is a highly fragmented market,
and the abundance of
comparable properties in our vicinity may adversely affect our
ability to rent or sell office space and other real estate and may
affect the sale and lease price of our premises. In the future,
both national and foreign companies may participate in
Argentina’s real estate development market, competing with us
for business opportunities.
Our assets are highly concentrated in certain geographic areas and
an economic downturn in such areas could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition.
For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, 78% of our sales from leases and
services were derived from shopping centers in the City of Buenos
Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires. In addition, all of our office
buildings are located in the City of Buenos Aires and a substantial
portion of our revenues are now derived from such properties.
Although we own properties and may acquire or develop additional
properties outside of the City of Buenos Aires and the Greater
Buenos Aires, we expect to continue to depend to a very large
extent on economic conditions affecting those areas and therefore,
an economic downturn in those areas could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our
dependence on rental income may adversely affect our ability to
meet our debt obligations
Some potential losses are not covered by insurance and certain
kinds of insurance coverage may become prohibitively
expensive.
We
currently carry insurance policies that cover potential risks such
as civil liability, fire, loss profit, floods, including extended
coverage and losses from leases on all of our properties. Although
we believe 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, we could lose all or a portion of
the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the
anticipated future revenue from the property. In such an event, we
might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other
financial obligations related to the property. We cannot assure you
that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur
in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a
catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay
revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the
property. If any of our key employees were to die or become
incapacitated, we could experience losses caused by a disruption in
our operations which will not be covered by insurance, and this
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
In
addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew our
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 our properties
could subject us to lost capital or revenue on those
properties.
Under
the terms and conditions of the leases currently in force on our
properties, tenants are required to indemnify and hold us 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 our negligence or intentional
misconduct or that of our 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, we cannot assure the holders that
the 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, we
could lose all or part of our capital invested in, and anticipated
revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a
material adverse effect on our operating results and financial
condition.
Demand for our premium properties may not be
sufficient.
We have
focused on development projects to cater affluent individuals and
have entered into property barter agreements pursuant to which we
contribute our undeveloped properties to ventures with developers
who will deliver us units in premium locations. At the time the
developers return these properties to us, demand for premium
residential units could be significantly lower. In such case, we
would be unable to sell these residential units at the estimated
prices or time frame, which could have an adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
Our level of debt may adversely affect our operations and our
ability to pay our debt as it becomes due.
We had,
and expect to have, substantial liquidity and capital resource
requirements to finance our business. As of June 30, 2016, our
consolidated financial debt amounted to Ps.5,893 million (including
accrued and unpaid interest and deferred financing costs). We
cannot assure you that we will have sufficient cash flows and
adequate financial capacity in the future.
The
fact that we are leveraged may affect our ability to refinance
existing debt or borrow additional funds to finance working
capital, 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 our 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 us 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. Our leverage could also affect our
competitiveness and limit our ability to changes in market
conditions, changes in the real estate industry and economic
downturns.
We may
not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to
satisfy our debt service requirements (including the notes) or to
obtain future financing. If we cannot satisfy our debt service
requirements or if we default on any financial or other covenants
in our debt arrangements, the lenders and/or holders of our debt
will be able to accelerate the maturity of such debt or cause
defaults under the other debt arrangements. Our ability to service
debt obligations or to refinance them will depend upon our future
financial and operating performance, which will, in part, be
subject to factors beyond our control such as macroeconomic
conditions and regulatory changes in Argentina. If we cannot obtain
future financing, we may have to delay or abandon some or all of
our planned capital expenditures, which could adversely affect our
ability to generate cash flows and repay our
obligations.
The recurrence of a 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
global credit crisis that began in 2008 had a significant negative
impact on businesses around the world. The impact of a crisis on
our major tenants cannot be predicted and may be quite severe. A
disruption in the ability of our 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 us, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and liquidity.
The shift of consumers to purchasing goods over the Internet, where
barriers to entry are low, may negatively affect sales at our
shopping centers.
In
recent years, internet retail sales have grown significantly in
Argentina, even although the market share of such sales is still
insignificant. The Internet enables manufacturers and retailers to
sell directly to consumers, diminishing the importance of
traditional distribution channels such as retail stores and
shopping centers. We believe that our 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. If e-commerce and retail sales through the Internet
continue to grow, consumers’ reliance on traditional
distribution channels such as our shopping centers could be
materially diminished, having a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations and business
prospects.
Our business is subject to extensive regulation and additional
regulations may be imposed in the future.
Our
activities are subject to 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 our ability to acquire land,
buildings and shopping centers, 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. We are required to obtain licenses
and authorizations with different governmental authorities in order
to carry out our projects. Maintaining our licenses and
authorizations can be a costly provision. In the case of
non-compliance with such laws, regulations, licenses and
authorizations, we 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 us 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 our
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 our 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 our
rental income. We 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 our operations and
profitability.
We are dependent on our chairman Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, our board
of directors and our controlling shareholder IRSA.
Our
success, to a significant extent, depends on the continued
employment of Eduardo Sergio Elsztain and certain other members of
our board of directors and senior management, who have significant
expertise and knowledge of our business and industry. The loss or
interruption of their services for any reason could have a material
adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 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.
Further, we believe
that our success also depends, to a significant extent, on the
continued success of IRSA which owns 94.61% of our outstanding
shares. IRSA is engaged in a range of real estate, investment and
other business activities, many of which are different from our
business, including IRSA’s significant investments in Banco
Hipotecario, an Argentine bank, and IDB Development Corporation, a
large conglomerate in Israel engaged in a range of businesses
including real estate, telecommunications, supermarkets,
agribusiness and insurance. As a result, IRSA is exposed to certain
important risks, as described in its consolidated financial
statements and its filings with the SEC, which under certain
circumstances could have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition, results of operations and business prospects. We cannot
assure you that IRSA will not be adversely affected by the risks
that it faces (including those relating to its investments in Banco
Hipotecario or IDB Development Corporation), and we believe that if
IRSA were to be so affected, the market perception of the group of
companies controlled by Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, including us,
could be adversely affected as well.
The interests of our controlling shareholder could conflict with
your interests.
We are
currently controlled by IRSA, which has a 94.61% ownership stake in
us. Our controlling shareholder is in a position to direct our
management and to determine the result of substantially all matters
to be decided by majority vote of our shareholders, including the
election of a majority of the members of our board of directors,
determining the amount of dividends distributed by, adopting
certain amendments to our by-laws, enforcing or waiving our rights
under existing agreements, leases and contractual arrangements and
entering into certain agreements with entities affiliated with us,
subject to Argentine law. As a result, circumstances may occur in
which our controlling shareholders’ interests in us could be
in conflict with your interests as noteholders.
Labor relations may negatively impact us.
As of
June 30, 2016, 47.8% of our worforce was represented by unions
under two separate collective bargaining agreements. Although we
currently enjoy good relations with our employees and their unions,
we cannot assure you that labor relations will continue to be
positive or that deterioration in labor relations will not
materially and adversely affect us.
Due to the currency mismatches between our assets and liabilities,
we have currency exposure.
As of
June 30, 2016, the majority of our liabilities, such as our Series
II Notes are denominated in U.S. dollars while our revenues are
denominated in Pesos. This currency gap exposes us to a risk of
volatility in the rate of exchange between the Peso and the U.S.
dollar, and our 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 our debt in Pesos, with further adverse effects on our
results of operation and financial condition and may
increase the collection risk of our leases and other receivables
from our tenants and mortgage debtors, most of generate have
Peso-denominated revenues.
Property ownership through joint ventures or minority participation
may limit our ability to act exclusively in our
interest.
We
develop and acquire properties in joint ventures with other persons
or entities when we believe circumstances warrant the use of such
structures. For example, we currently own 80% of Panamerican Mall
S.A. (“PAMSA”), while another 20% is owned by Centro
Comercial Panamericano S.A., and we also own 50% of Quality Invest
S.A. (“Quality Invest”), a joint venture that controls
our investment in the Nobleza Piccardo plant.
We
could engage in a dispute with one or more of our joint venture
partners that might affect our ability to operate a jointly-owned
property. Moreover, our joint venture partners may, at any time,
have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent
with our 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,
our joint venture partners may have competing interests in our
markets that could create conflicts of interest. If the objectives
of our joint venture partners are inconsistent with our own
objectives, we will not be able to act exclusively in our
interests.
If one
or more of the investors in any of our 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 our financial performance. Should a joint venture partner
declare bankruptcy, we could be liable for our partner’s
common share of joint venture liabilities.
Risks Relating to our ADSs and our Common Shares.
Common shares eligible for sale could adversely affect the price of
our common shares and ADS
The
market prices of our common shares and the ADSs 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.
IRSA
Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima
(“IRSA”) which as of June 30, 2016 owned approximately
94.61% of our common shares (or approximately 1,192,218,935 common
shares which may be exchanged for an aggregate of 29,805,473 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, although there is no present intention to do so. 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
may be less publicly available information about the issuers of
securities listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Market (“Mercado
de Valores de Buenos Aires” or “MVBA”) than is
regularly published by or about domestic issuers of listed
securities in the United States and certain other
countries.
We are
exempt from the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) prescribing the furnishing
and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and
principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and
short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of
the Exchange Act.
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, and most of our assets 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. 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, 2016, 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 “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. Please see
‘‘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 “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 recently
derogated by Law 27,260.
The
income tax treatment of income derived from the sale of ADSs 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 have
been issued regarding the mechanism for paying the Argentine
capital gains tax when the sale exclusively involves non-Argentine
parties. However, as of the date of this annual report, no
administrative or judicial rulings have clarified the ambiguity in
the law.
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 an Official Gazette in
Argentina, an Argentine newspaper of general circulation and the
bulletin of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, 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. 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.
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.
The majority of our shareholders may determine to 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
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 controlling shareholder will continue to have significant
influence over us, and their interests could conflict with
yours.
IRSA,
our principal shareholder, beneficially owns approximately 94.6% of
our common shares outstanding and consequently, may influence our
business policies, including, among others, determinations with
respect to:
●
the composition of
our board of directors and, consequently, determinations of our
board with respect to our business direction and policy, including
the appointment and removal of our officers;
●
mergers, other
business combinations and other transactions, including those that
may result in a change of control;
●
decisions regarding
payment of dividends or other distributions and the amount of any
such dividends or distributions;
●
sales and
dispositions of our assets; and
●
the amount of debt
that we incur.
Our
controlling shareholder may influence the adoption of actions that
could be contrary to your interests and may be able to prevent
other shareholders, including you, from blocking these actions or
from causing different actions to be taken. We cannot assure you
that our controlling shareholder will act in a manner consistent
with your best interests. In addition, actions by our controlling
shareholder with respect to the disposition of our common shares,
or the perception that such action might occur, may negatively
affect the trading prices of our common shares and
ADSs.
Our ability to pay dividends is limited by law and economic
conditions.
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. Although
during 2014 inflation accelerated mainly due to the currency
devaluation process carried out by the Argentine Central Bank, we
paid dividends on November 17, 2015. The uncertainty surrounding
future rates of inflation may affect our results of operations and
consequently our ability to pay dividends. If the Peso continues to
devaluate significantly, all of the negative effects on the
Argentine economy related to such devaluation could recur, with
adverse consequences on our business and as a result on the results
of our operations and our ability to pay dividends. Nevertheless,
it is expected that the inflation rate is being reduced during this
2016 pursuant to the economic measures that are being
adopted.
The ability of holders of the ADSs to receive cash dividends may be
limited.
The
ability of ADS holders to receive cash dividends may be limited by
the ability of the ADS depositary to convert cash dividends paid in
Pesos into U.S. dollars. Under the terms of our deposit agreement
with the ADS depositary for the ADSs, to the extent that the ADS
depositary can in its judgment, and in accordance with local
exchange regulations, convert Pesos (or any other foreign currency)
into U.S. dollars on a reasonable basis and transfer the resulting
U.S. dollars abroad, the ADS depositary will as promptly as
practicable convert or cause to be converted all cash dividends
received by it in Pesos on the deposited securities common shares
into U.S. dollars. If in the judgment of the ADS depositary this
conversion is not possible on a reasonable basis (or is not
permitted by applicable Argentine laws, regulations and approval
requirements), the ADS depositary may distribute the foreign
currency received by it in Pesos in Argentina or in its discretion
hold such currency uninvited for the respective accounts of the
owners entitled to receive the same. As a result, if the exchange
rate fluctuates significantly during a time when the ADS depositary
cannot or does not convert the foreign currency, you may lose some
or all of the value of the dividend distribution. For further
information see “Risks Relating to
Argentina—Restrictions on transfers of foreign currency and
the repatriation of capital from Argentina may impair our ability
to pay dividends and distributions.”

History
We were
organized in 1889 under the name Sociedad Anónima Mercado de
Abasto Proveedor (SAMAP), and until 1984, we owned and operated the
main fresh products market in the City of Buenos Aires. Our main
asset during that period was the historic Mercado de Abasto
building which served as the location of the market from 1889 to
1984, moment in which we leased our operations. In July 1994, IRSA
Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
(“IRSA”) acquired a controlling interest in us and,
subsequently, we resumed real estate operations. In April 1997, we
merged with fourteen wholly owned subsidiaries, including Alto
Palermo S.A., and subsequently changed our name from Sociedad
Anónima Mercado de Abasto Proveedor (SAMAP) to Alto Palermo
S.A. (APSA). Since then, we have continued to grow through a series
of acquisitions and the development of our businesses.
Since
1996, we have expanded our real estate activities in the shopping
center segment, through the acquisition of controlling interests in
sixteen shopping centers: Paseo Alcorta, Alto Palermo Shopping,
Buenos Aires Design, Alto Avellaneda, Alto NOA, Abasto Shopping,
Patio Bullrich, Mendoza Plaza Shopping, Alto Rosario, Córdoba
Shopping Villa Cabrera, Dot Baires, Soleil Premium Outlet, La
Ribera Shopping, Patio Olmos Shopping, Distrito Arcos and Alto
Comahue Shopping.
On
December 22, 2014, we acquired from our controlling shareholder,
IRSA, 83,789 m2 of premium office space including the
República Building, the Bouchard 710 building, the Della
Paolera 265 building, the Intercontinental Plaza Building, the
Suipacha 652 building and the land reserve “Intercontinental
II” (the "Acquired Properties") with potential to develop up
to 19,600 square meters, each located in the City of Buenos Aires,
to implement our objective of expanding our business of developing
and operating commercial properties in Argentina and to create a
unique and unified portfolio of rental properties consisting of the
best office buildings in the city of Buenos Aires and the best
shopping centers in Argentina. The total value of the transaction
was US$308.0 million, based on third party appraisals.
Our
former legal name, Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA), was modified by
resolution adopted at the Extraordinary General
Shareholders’
meeting held on February 5, 2015, to IRSA Commercial Properties
S.A. As of June 30, 2016, our main shareholder is IRSA with 94.61%
of our capital stock. Our shares are listed on the MVBA, through
the BCBA and Nasdaq, under the symbol "IRCP".
As a
consequence of the assets acquired in December 2014, as of June 30,
2016, we own and/or manage 16 shopping centers in Argentina, 15 of
which are operated by us, totaling 333,155 square meters and 79,048
square meters of gross leasable in 6 premium office buildings of
rental office property.

Acquisitions
Building office to be constructed owned by IRSA
We have
acquired from our controlling company IRSA, 16,012 square meters
corresponding to 14 floors (13 to 16 and 21 to 30) for purposes of
long-term leasing and 142 parking spaces in the building to be
built in the Catalina area in the City of Buenos Aires. The
building to be constructed has a total gross leasing area of 35,468
square meters in 30 office floors and 316 parking lots in four
undergrounds; possession is scheduled to be delivered in December
2019 and the conveyance deed is expected to be executed in December
2020.
The
price of the transaction was established based on two components: a
“Determined” part corresponding to the incidence of
land on the square meters acquired by us in an amount of Ps. 455.7
million (approximately US$/square meter 1,600 + VAT) that were paid
on the execution date and a “To Be Determined” part,
where IRSA will shift the company only the real cost of the
construction works per square meter.
Plot of land adjoining Shopping Alto Avellaneda
On
December 30, 2015, we signed a purchase agreement –granting
possession– for the acquisition of a plot of land of
approximately 3,822 square meters located in Avellaneda, Province
of Buenos Aires, for a potential enlargement of the shopping center
Alto Avellaneda. The transaction amounted to US$ 2.0 million, out
of which US$ 1.3 million have been paid. The balance will be paid
as follows: US$ 0.2 million upon registration of the measurement
plan and US$ 0.5 million upon delivery of the deed conveying title
to the property.
Dispositions
Units of Intercontinental Plaza building
On
February 2, 2016, we conveyed title to 851 square meters

already fully paid by the purchaser. The gross profit of the
transaction amounted to Ps. 155.8 million.
Fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2015
Acquisitions
Acquisition of investment properties from IRSA.
On

office portfolio including the buildings República, Bouchard
710, Della Paolera 265, Intercontinental Plaza and Suipacha 652 and
the “Intercontinental II” plot of land in order to

Córdoba. The price was agreed upon at Ps. 3.1 million, which
has already been paid.
Dispositions
Decrease of equity interest in Avenida Inc.
On July
18, 2014, we exercised warrants and increased our shareholding in
Avenida Inc.(“Avenida”) to 35.46% of its capital stock.
However, our interest in Avenida was further reduced to 23.01% as a
result of a simultaneous acquisition of a 35.12% interest in
Avenida by a new investor. Subsequently, on September 2, 2014, we
sold, trough Torodur S.A. (“Torodur”) 1,430,000 shares
representing 5 % of the Avenida’s capital stock in the amount
of Ps.19.1 million (US$2.3 million), thus reducing our equity
interest to 17.68%. Such transaction generated a gain of Ps.8.8
million included in "Other operation results, net" in the statement
of comprehensive income. On July, 2015, following last year sale of
5% and the recent capital round, our share interest was diluted to
11.38% of Avenida.
Sale of units in Intercontinental Plaza building
On May
5, 2015 we sold to a non related party, 8,470 square meters,
corresponding to 9 offices floors and 72 parking units. The amount
of the transaction was Ps.376.4 million, which has been paid in
full. The gross profit before tax of the transaction amounted to
Ps. 123.7 million.
Fiscal year ended as of June 30, 2014
Acquisitions
Acquisition of building adjacent to Alto Palermo
Shopping
On May
22, 2014, we acquired a property with a 40 square meters area,
adjacent to Alto Palermo Shopping, located in Av. Santa Fe
3255/57/59 for US$3.8 million.
Subscription of common shares of Avenida.
On
August 29, 2013, we have subscribed through Torodur, 3,703,704
common shares of Avenida, representing 24.79% of its outstanding
capital. Additionally, we were granted a warrant to increase our
interest up to 37.04%. The purchase price for the transaction was
Ps.13.0 million, which has already been paid in full. After the
acquisition, Avenida, incorporated Avenida Compras S.A. in
Argentina, a company engaged in e-commerce, which is wholly owned
by Avenida.
Purchase Option Agreement for Arcos del Gourmet S.A.
On
September 16, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Messrs.
Eduardo Giana, Pablo Bossi and Patricio Tobal (non-controlling
shareholders of Arcos del Gourmet S.A.), whereby we were granted an
exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase up to 10% of the
equity interest of Arcos del Gourmet S.A. (“Arcos del
Gourmet”), which can be executed up to December 31, 2018. In
the event the option is exercised, we should pay the amount of
US$8.0 million.
Furthermore, in the
aforementioned agreement the price of the option was set as
follows: (a) a fixed amount of Ps.2.0 million which was cancelled,
and (b) a variable amount payable monthly, which result from
applying 4.5% on the amounts accrued in the immediate preceding
month for rental and right of admission, net of certain expenses.
Such variable sum will be paid during 5 years from the opening of
the shopping mall, during that period Messrs. Giana, Tobal and
Bossi assigned to us the economic rights of Arcos del
Gourmet.

During
the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2016, we invested in capital

Ps. 167.7 million were used in the acquisition of investment
properties, mainly, in connection with improvements to our shopping
centers; (ii) Ps. 13.7 million are related to the acquisition of
property, plant and equipment; and (iii) Ps. 6.6 million were used
in advance payments for the acquisition of general

Recent Developments
Acquisition of shares of EHSA
In July
2016, we acquired from FEG Entretenimientos S.A., 25% of the shares
of EHSA, a company in which we already owned 50%, and from Mr.
Marcelo Figoli 1.25% of the shares of Entretenimiento Universal
S.A. ("ENUSA"). The purchase price of the acquisition was Ps. 66.5
million, 50% of which was already paid, and the balance was paid in
two equal installments payable within 60 and 90 days.
As of the date of
this annual report, the total amount was fully
paid.
We also
sold 5% of the shares of EHSA to Mr. Diego Finkelstein. The sales
amount was set in the amount of Ps. 13.45 million, 50% having been
perceived, while the balance will be perceived in two equal
installments payable within 60 and 90 days. As a result, we own
70% of capital and votes of EHSA and Mr. Diego Finkelstein the
remaining 30%.
EHSA
holds, directly and indirectly, 100% of the shares of OGDEN
Argentina S.A. ("OASA") and 95% of the shares of ENUSA.
OASA
owns 50% of the shares and votes of La Rural S.A. ("LRSA"), a
company that has the usufruct for the commercial operation of the
"Predio Ferial de Palermo" in the City of Buenos Aires, with the
Rural Society Argentina ("SRA") that owns the remaining 50%.
In
addition, OASA manages LRSA through agreements with the SRA
including the right to appoint the president, with a casting vote
in certain issues- and general manager. Meanwhile, ENUSA is
mainly engaged in the realization of certain shows at Predio Ferial
Palermo.
Resignation as alternate director
On
September 29, 2016, we informed that we have received a
communication from Mr. David Alberto Perednik notifying his
resignation as alternate director. The resignation will be taken
into account at the next Ordinary Shareholders
Meeting.
B.
Business Overview
Operations and principal activities
We are
the largest owner and manager of shopping centers and one of the
largest owners of office and other commercial properties in
Argentina in terms of gross leasable area and number of rental
properties. As of June 30, 2016, our total assets were Ps.9,299.5
million, and our shareholders’ equity was Ps.1,672.1 million.
Our operating income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and
June 30, 2015, was Ps.1,934.6 million and Ps. 1,348.4 million,
respectively.
We are
owners and/or managers of 16 shopping centers in Argentina, 15 of
which are operated by the Company, totaling 333,155 square meters
of Gross Leaseable Area as of the closing of fiscal year 2016.
Moreover, the Company owns 79,048 square meters in 6 premium office
buildings and has a large reserve of land for future commercial
developments. We are operators and owners of majority stakes in 16
of our shopping centers in Argentina, seven of which are located in
the City of Buenos Aires (Abasto, Alcorta Shopping, Alto Palermo,
Patio Bullrich, Buenos Aires Design, Dot Baires Shopping and
Distrito Arcos), two in the Greater Buenos Aires area (Alto
Avellaneda and Soleil), and the rest in various provinces (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
in the City of Córdoba, and Alto Comahue in the City of
Neuquén). In addition, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales operates
La Ribera Shopping in the City of Santa Fe through a joint venture,
and owns the historic real estate that hosts the Patio Olmos
shopping center in the Province of Córdoba, which is operated
by a third party.
We
operate our business through four principal business segments,
namely “Shopping Centers”, “Offices and
Others”, “Sales and Developments” and
“Financial Operations and Others” as further described
below:
●
“Shopping
Centers” includes the operating results from our commercial
exploitation and development of shopping centers, mainly derived
from leasing and providing services related to the lease of retail
stores and other spaces at our shopping centers. Our Shopping
Centers segment includes highly diversified, multi-format assets
that focus on shopping centers that target middle-income to
high-income consumers. As of June 30, 2016, the average
occupancy rate of our shopping centers was 98.4%. Our Shopping
Centers segment had operating income of Ps.1,673.4 million for
fiscal 2016, 37.6% higher than fiscal 2015, representing 85.5% of
our consolidated operating income for such periods.
●
“Offices and
Others” includes the operating results arising from the lease
of offices and other rental properties and the provision of related
services. Our Offices and Others segment had operating income of
Ps.134.6 million for fiscal 2016, 624% higher than fiscal 2015,
representing 6.9% of our consolidated operating income for such
periods.
●
“Sales and
Developments” includes the operating results of sales
undeveloped parcels of land and/or trading properties and those
originated in their development and maintenance. Also includes the
results of the sales of investment properties. Our Sales and
Developments segment had operating income of Ps.149.3 million for
fiscal 2016, 16.6% higher than fiscal 2015, representing 7.6% of
our consolidated operating income for such periods.
●
“Financial
Operations and Others” includes the results of operations
from financing activities developed through Tarshop S.A., and the
residual transactions of consumer financing from Apsamedia S.A.
(currently merged with us). The e-commerce activities conducted
through our associate Avenida Inc. were included until the first
quarter of fiscal 2015. Such investment was considered as financial
asset from the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Our Financial
Operations and Others segment had operating income loss of Ps.0.9
million for fiscal 2016.
Our
common shares are listed and traded on the MVBA through the BCBA
under the ticker “IRCP” and our ADSs are listed on
NASDAQ under the ticker “IRCP.” Our controlling
shareholder is IRSA, a leading Argentine real estate company
engaged in a diverse range of activities, whose common shares are
listed on the MVBA and on the New York Stock Exchange
(“NYSE”).
Business Strategy
As a
leading company in Argentina dedicated to acquiring, developing and
managing commercial properties that include shopping centers and
office buildings and other rental properties, we seek to (i)
generate stable cash flows through the operation of our rental
properties and (ii) achieve long-term appreciation of our real
estate assets. We seek to achieve these goals and maintain our
leadership in our markets through the implementation of the
following strategies.
Investment
Strategy. We seek to
meet the unmet demand for shopping venues in urban centers
throughout Argentina while seeking to optimize the shopping
experience of our clients’ customers. In addition, we look to
benefit from the unsatisfied demand for premium office buildings in
the City of Buenos Aires. We seek to achieve these objectives by
implementing the following investment strategies:
●
Selectively develop and acquire new shopping
centers. We look to develop new shopping centers with
different business formats located in densely populated urban areas
or that have attractive growth prospects, including the
metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, cities in certain provinces of
Argentina and possibly abroad. Our strategically located land bank
enables us to develop new shopping centers in potentially
attractive areas that we believe meet those requirements.
Furthermore, we seek to selectively acquire shopping centers we
believe will benefit from our know-how, tenant relationships,
centralized management and leasing strategies, thereby enabling us
to enter new markets and achieve synergies within our portfolio of
properties.
●
Purchase and develop premium office
buildings. Since the Argentine economic crisis in 2001 and
2002, there has been limited investment in high-quality office
buildings in the City of Buenos Aires. As a result, we believe
there is substantial unsatisfied demand for such properties. We
seek to become the leader in the high quality office properties
business in Argentina by targeting premium corporate tenants and to
purchase and develop premium office buildings in strategically
located business districts in the City of Buenos Aires and other
locations we believe offer attractive returns and potential for
long-term capital gains.
●
Regularly improve our properties. We
consistently look for ways to improve our properties and make them
more attractive for existing and future tenants from a commercial
and financial perspective in order to maintain our high occupancy
rates, increase our lease renewal rates, and optimize our leasable
area and our land reserves.
●
Develop ancillary, synergistic
projects. We seek to develop real estate and other
commercial projects, including e-commerce activities performed
through our associate Avenida Inc., which are ancillary to our
shopping centers and benefit from the flow of customers in the
areas where we operate. Our development of residential real estate
such as “Torres de Abasto,” near the Abasto Shopping in
the City of Buenos Aires, and “Condominios del Alto I”
and “Condominios del Alto II” near the Alto Rosario
Shopping in the City of Rosario, Province of Santa Fe, are good
examples of this strategy.
Operational
Strategy. Our main operational goal is to maximize our
profitability at our shopping centers and office buildings. We seek
to achieve this goal by implementing the following operational
strategies:
●
Strengthen and consolidate relationships with
our tenants. Maintaining strong relationships with our
tenants is critical to our continued success. We strive to maintain
and enhance our business relationships with over 1,000 companies
and retail brands that constitute our group of tenants at our
shopping centers. We seek to continually improve our shopping
centers to keep them modern and attractive, offering shoppers an
excellent shopping experience while maintaining competitive
occupancy costs for our tenants. Further, we look to offer a
favorable mix of products and services, including administrative
and marketing advice and activities. We also focus on consolidating
and strengthening the relationships with tenants at our office
building, striving to ensure that they obtain the benefits of
leasing in our premium office buildings.
●
Seek an optimum tenant mix and attractive
lease conditions. We endeavor to maintain high occupancy
rates at our shopping centers by leasing to a diversified mix of
credit-worthy tenants with highly renowned brands, to enable us to
achieve stable and attractive rental income per square meter. We
also seek to keep an optimum tenant mix in our office buildings,
where the credit-worthiness of our corporate clients is key to
maintaining solid and stable cash-flows.
●
Improve brand awareness and loyalty of
consumers and tenants. We have a valuable and renowned
shopping center brand portfolio. We strive to improve brand
recognition and the loyalty of consumers and tenants with expansive
marketing campaigns that include advertising, promotional events
and various other marketing initiatives aimed at emphasizing our
premium product offering, tailored to the preferences of the
end-consumers at our shopping centers. We also seek to improve such
loyalty, in particular among young women, families and tourists, by
adding value to our properties through high quality entertainment
and food court offerings aimed at increasing shoppers’ visit
frequency and duration.
●
Improve operating margins. We seek to
benefit from our economies of scale in order to achieve cost
savings and improve our operating margins, which have been high
during the last ten years.
Shopping
Centers
Overview
As of
June 30, 2016, we owned a majority interest in, and operated,
a portfolio of 16 shopping centers in Argentina, seven of which are
located in the City of Buenos Aires (Abasto, Alcorta Shopping, Alto
Palermo Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Buenos Aires Design, Dot Baires
Shopping and Distrito Arcos), two are located in the greater Buenos
Aires area (Alto Avellaneda and Soleil Premium Outlet), and the
rest are located in different provinces of Argentina (Alto Noa in
the City of Salta, Alto Rosario in the City of Rosario, Mendoza
Plaza in the City of Mendoza, Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera
and Patio Olmos ,operated by a third party, in the City of
Córdoba, La Ribera Shopping in Santa Fe ,through a joint
venture, and Alto Comahue in the City of
Neuquén).
The
shopping centers we operate comprise a total of 333,155.4 square
meters of GLA (excluding certain spaces occupied by hypermarkets
which are not our tenants). Total tenant sales in our shopping
centers, as reported by retailers, were Ps. 28,904.9 million for
fiscal year 2016 and Ps. 21,527.0 million for fiscal year
2015, representing an increase of 34.3%, including Distrito Arcos
and Alto Comahue. Tenant sales at our shopping centers are relevant
to our revenues and profitability because they are one of the
factors that determine the amount of rent that we charge our
tenants. They also affect the tenants’ overall occupancy
costs as a percentage of the tenant’s sales.

Abasto, City of Buenos Aires
Abasto
is a 170-store shopping center located in downtown Buenos Aires
with direct access from the Carlos Gardel subway station, six
blocks from the Once railway terminal and near the highway to
Ezeiza International Airport. Abasto opened on November 10,
1998. The main building is a landmark building that, between 1889
and 1984 was the primary fresh produce market for the City of
Buenos Aires. Our Company converted the property into a 116,646
square meter shopping center (including parking and common areas)
with approximately 36,737.6 square meters of gross leaseable area
(40,469.9 square meters if we consider Museo de los Niños).
Abasto is the fourth largest shopping center in Argentina in terms
of gross leaseable area.
Abasto
has a 27-restaurant food court, a 12-screen movie theatre complex
with seating capacity for approximately 3,100 people, covering a
surface area of 8,021 square meters, entertainment area and also
houses the Museo de los Niños (Children´s Museum) with a
surface area of 3,732.8 square meters (the latter is not included

shopping center generated nominal tenant retail sales that totaled
approximately Ps. 4,043.1 million, representing sales per square

million for fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 to Ps. 384.1 million
for fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, which represents annual income
per gross leaseable square meter of Ps. 8,227.2 in fiscal year 2015
and Ps. 10,456.4 in fiscal year 2016.

Buenos Aires Design, City of Buenos Aires
Buenos
Aires Design is a shopping center with 62 stores specialized in
decoration and home appliances store which opened in 1993. The
Company owns a 53.7% interest in ERSA, which has the concession to
operate Buenos Aires Design. The other shareholder of ERSA is Hope
Funds S.A., which has a 46.3% equity interest.
As a
result of a public auction, in February 1991, the City of Buenos
Aires granted ERSA a 20-year concession to use a plot of land in
the Centro Cultural Recoleta. The concession’s effective date
was November 19, 1993 and was set to expire on November 18, 2013.
In 2010, the government of the Buenos Aires City, pursuant to
Decree No. 867/2010, extended the concession term for an additional
five-year period, and the expiration date of the agreement was
extended to November 18, 2018. The concession agreement requires
that ERSA pay the City of Buenos Aires a fix amount per year which
is adjusted annually. It establishes that the concession may be
terminated for any of the following reasons, among others: material
breach of the obligations of the parties, which with regard to ERSA
include: (i) breach of applicable law, (ii) change of the
purpose of the area under concession; (iii) non payment of the
monthly fee for two consecutive periods; (iv) destruction or
abandonment of the area under concession; (v) bankruptcy or
liquidation; and (vi) restitution of the plot of land under
concession, which shall only take place for public interest
reasons.
In June
1991, we entered into an agreement with the shareholders of ERSA
providing our administration of Buenos Aires Design for a monthly
administration fee of 10% of the net expenditures of
expenses.
Buenos
Aires Design is in an exclusive neighborhood named Recoleta in the
City of Buenos Aires, near Libertador Avenue and downtown Buenos
Aires. Buenos Aires Design is located in one of Buenos Aires’

and 45.

Soleil Premium Outlet, Greater Buenos Aires
In
December 2007, we entered into an agreement with INC S.A.
(“INCSA”), a non-related company, for the acquisition
of Soleil Premium Outlet.
On July
1, 2010, we executed the final deed for partial conveyance of title
and closing minutes with INCSA, whereby INCSA transferred to us the
shopping center’s going concern, which we started to operate
on the referred date. The transaction was exclusive of any debt or
credit prior to the transaction with respect to INCSA’s
business, as well as the real property where a hypermarket
currently operates located in the premises. On April 12, 2011, the
Argentine Antitrust Authority (“CNDC”) approved to the
transaction.
As from
April 2013, as a result of a comprehensive renovation of the
shopping center and a strong advertising campaign, it was renamed
Soleil Premium Outlet. At present, it has a surface area of 48,313
square meters, 13,991.1 square meters of which are GLA. It
comprises 78 stores and 2,335 parking spaces. Soleil Premium Outlet
is located in San Isidro, Province of Buenos Aires. It opened in
Argentina more than 25 years ago and it was the first Premium
Outlet in the country.
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the public visiting the
shopping center generated nominal tenant retail sales that totaled
approximately Ps. 1,282.2 million, which represents annual average
sales for approximately Ps. 91,644.1 per square meter and a
year-on-year turnover growth of 36.6%. Total rental income
increased from Ps. 59.4 million for fiscal 2015 to Ps. 80.1 million
for fiscal 2016, representing annual income per gross leasable
square meter of Ps. 4,242.5 in fiscal year 2015 and Ps. 5,726.0 in
fiscal year 2016.
As of

Competition
Given
that most of our shopping centers are located in densely populated
areas, there are competing shopping centers within, or in close
proximity to, our target areas. The number of shopping centers in a
particular area could have a material effect on our ability to
lease space in our shopping centers and on the rent that we are
able to charge. We believe that due to the limited availability of
large plots of land and zoning restrictions in the City of Buenos
Aires, it is difficult for other companies to compete with us in
areas through the development of new shopping centers. Our
principal competitor is Cencosud S.A. which owns and operates
Unicenter Shopping and the Jumbo hypermarket chain, among
others.
The
following table shows certain information concerning the most
significant owners and operators of shopping centers in
Argentina.

Offices and Others Segment
We are
engaged in the acquisition, development and management of office
buildings and other rental properties in Argentina. In December
2014, we acquired 83,789 square meters of the premium office
portfolio from our parent IRSA, including Edificio República,
Bouchard 710, Dellapaolera 265, Intercontinental Plaza, Suipacha
652 and the land reserve “Intercontinental II” with
potential for development of 19,600 square meters. As a result, we
consolidated a vehicle mainly aimed at developing and operating
commercial rental properties in Argentina.

million which has already been paid, while the remaining balance

of possession.
Management of Office Buildings
We
generally act as manager of the office buildings in which we hold
an interest. In most cases, we are owners of the entire building or
a significant number of units. Management is usually conducted
pursuant to the terms and conditions of a co-owners’
agreement, and decisions are adopted by simple majority of owners
(based on the area owned by each of them). As managers, we are in
charge of the security, maintenance and cleaning services, which
are generally outsourced. The cost of these services is paid by the
tenants, except in the case of units that have not been leased. We
market our leasable area through authorized brokers or by means of
our direct efforts.
Leases
We
usually lease our office and other properties under lease
agreements for average terms of three years, except for a few
agreements which are entered into for five-year terms. Agreements
are renewable for two or three years, at the tenant’s option.
They are generally denominated in U.S. dollars and pursuant to the
Argentine laws, they are not subject to adjustment for inflation.
Rental price for renewal periods are negotiated at market
value.

Competition
Virtually all of
our office properties and other rental properties (not including
shopping centers) are located in developed urban areas. There is a
great number of office buildings, shopping centers, retail stores
and residential houses in the zones where our properties are
located. Ours is a highly fragmented market and the abundant number
of comparable properties in the vicinities may have an adverse
impact on the ability to lease or sell office space and other
properties and may have an adverse impact on the sale and rental
price of properties.
In the
future, both domestic and foreign companies are likely to
participate in the real estate development market in Argentina,
hence competing with us for business opportunities. In addition, in
the future we may participate in the development of a market for
foreign real property, and we are likely to find well-established
competitors.
In the
premium office segment, we compete with other relevant market
players, such as RAGHSA, Consultatio, Grupo Madero Este, Grupo
Werthein, Grupo Farallón and YAR Construcciones.
Sales
and Developments Segment
This
segment includes properties available for sale, units to be
received under barter agreements and land reserves of our
portfolio. As of June 30, 2016, we owned plots and properties
strategically located in the City of Buenos Aires, Greater Buenos
Aires and throughout the provinces of Argentina with potential to
develop new projects.

urban planning standards, around 6,000 sqm may be built. Its
intended use, either through an own development or sale to a third
party, is residential with the possibility of a retail space as
well. In November 2014, a Barter Deed was executed to carry out a
residential development, in consideration of which the Company will
receive 1,365 sqm of retail stores located on the ground floors of
blocks 99 and 95 at Güemes 836 and Güemes 902,
respectively. Consideration for block 95 will be delivered in
January 2018 and consideration for block 99 will be delivered in
September 2018. The barter was valued at US$ 0.7
million.
Mixed Uses:
Ex UOM- Luján, Province of Buenos Aires.
This
116-hectare plot of land is located at kilometer 62 Km of the West
Highway, in the intersection with Route 5 and was originally
purchased by CRESUD. In May 2012, we acquired the property through
a purchase and sale agreement entered with a related party. 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, negotiations are underway to change the zoning
parameters, thus making the project feasible.
Ex Nobleza Piccardo Plant - San Martín, Province of Buenos
Aires.
On
March 31, 2011, Quality Invest S.A. and Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y
F. (Nobleza) 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 scales for mixed-use developments. The price for the property
was US$ 33 million, 30% of which was paid at such time. A
promissory note and a first-priority mortgage were issued for the
balance of the price on the property, in favor of Nobleza. The
balance incurs interest at an annual rate of 7.5% on the
outstanding balance were paid in full –principal plus
interest- in March 2013.
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 (Note 5 to the financial statements).
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 S.A. 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 S.A. 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 Martin 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 S.A.
entered into a Zoning Agreement with the Municipality of San Martin
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. 20,000,000) was paid to the Municipality ten
days after the execution of the above mentioned
agreement.
Moreover, on June
27, 2016, the plot subdivision plan was filed with the
Municipality, in compliance with another significant milestone
assumed by the Company under the Zoning Agreement.
Residential
Coto Residential Project.
We own
approximately 23,000 square meters in air space above the Coto
hypermarket that is close to the Abasto Shopping Center in the
heart of the City of Buenos Aires. We and Coto Centro Integral de
Comercialización S.A. (Coto) executed and delivered a deed
dated September 24, 1997 whereby we acquired the rights to receive
parking units and the rights to build above the premises located in
the block formed by Agüero, Lavalle, Guardia Vieja and Gallo
streets, in the Abasto neighborhood.
In June
2016, a preliminary barter agreement was signed, subject to certain
conditions, for a term of one year, at the end of which the deed
will be signed. The project will be a residential development and,
as consideration, we will receive 3,621 square meters in apartments
plus a monetary payment of US$ 1 million. The consideration
for Torre I will be delivered by June 2021, while the consideration
for Torre II will be delivered by September 2022. The value of the
barter was set at US$ 7.5 million.
Córdoba Shopping Center Project
We own
a few plots adjacent to Córdoba Shopping Center with a
construction capacity of approximately 17,300 square meters in the
center of the City of Córdoba.
In May
2016, a preliminary barter agreement was signed for 13,500 square
meters out of the total construction capacity, subject to certain
conditions, for a term of one year, at the end of which the deed
will be signed. It will be a mixed residential and office project
and, as part of the consideration, we will receive 2,160 square
meters in apartments, parking spaces, plus the management of
permits, unifications and subdivisions in three plots. The
consideration will be delivered by May 2021 for Torre I and by July
2023 for Torre II. The value of the barter was US$ 4
million.
Neuquén Residential Plot – Neuquén, Province of
Neuquén.
Through
Shopping Neuquén S.A., we own a plot of 13,000 square meters
with construction capacity per FOT of 18,000 square meters of
residential properties in an area with significant growth
potential. This area is located close to the recently inaugurated
shopping center, the hypermarket recently opened and a hotel to be
constructed in months to come.
Retail
Caballito Plot – City of Buenos Aires.
This is
a property of approximately 23,791 square meters in the City of
Buenos Aires, neighborhood of Caballito, one of the most densely
populated of the city, which we purchased in November 1997. This
plot would allow developing a shopping center having 30,000 sqm,
including a hypermarket, a cinema complex, and several recreation
and entertainment activity areas. At present, the legislature of
the City of Buenos Aires has received a legislative bill to approve
the zoning parameters corresponding to this property which already
has the consent of the Executive Branch.
Dot Adjoining Plot – City of Buenos Aires.
On May
3, 2012, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, through the
General Office of Zoning Interpretation (Dirección General de
Interpretación Urbanística) approved, through a
pre-feasibility study, the parcel subdivision of the Ex-Philips
plot contingent upon the observance of the applicable building
regulations in each of the resulting parcels. In addition, all the
uses and parameters established under the municipal ordinance
previously issued by the above mentioned authority are being
observed.
On June
3, 2013, we received notice that the Government of the City of
Buenos Aires had approved the requested parcel subdivision of the
ex-Philips plot. As a result, the property was divided into three
parcels: two parcels of approximately 6,400 sqm and a parcel
adjoining DOT Shopping of 15,900 sqm intended for the future
expansion of the shopping center by 47,000 sqm.
Offices
Philips Adjoining Plots 1 and 2 – City of Buenos
Aires.
These
two parcels with 6,400 sqm with construction capacity of 19,200 sqm
each, are at present a significant land reserve jointly with a plot
where the extension of Dot Baires Shopping is planned. As a result
of major developments, the intersection of Av. General Paz and the
Panamerican Highway has experienced a significant growth in recent
years. The project of theses parcels will conclude the
consolidation of this area.
Intercontinental Plaza II Plot - City of Buenos Aires.
In the
heart of the neighborhood of Monserrat, just a few meters from the
most trafficked avenue in the city and the financial center, is the
Intercontinental Plaza complex consisting of an office tower and
the exclusive Hotel Intercontinental. In the current plot of 6,135
square meters a second office tower of 19,600 square meters and 25
stories could be built to supplement the tower currently located in
the intersection of Moreno and Tacuarí streets.

Alto Palermo Expansion
The
expansion project of Alto Palermo shopping center adds
approximately 4,000 square meters of GLA to the shopping center
with the highest sales per square meter in our portfolio and
consists in moving the food court to a third level using the area
of an adjacent building acquired in 2015. Works are estimated to
take between 18 and 24 months.
First Stage of Polo Dot
The
project called “Polo Dot”, located in the commercial
complex adjacent to our shopping center Dot Baires, has experienced
significant growth since our first investments in the area. The
total project will consist in 3 office buildings (one of them could
include a hotel) in land reserves owned by the Company and the
expansion of the shopping center by approximately 15,000 square
meters of gross leaseable area. At a first stage, we will develop
an 11-floor office building with an area of approximately 30,000
square meters on an existing building, in respect of
which
we have already executed a lease agreement for approximately half
the footage, before starting the works. Construction will begin
during the next fiscal period and is estimated to last between 18
and 24 months before the building is operational. The second stage
of the project will include two office/hotel buildings that will
add 38,400 square meters of gross leaseable area to the complex. We
have seen a significant demand for Premium office spaces in our new
commercial complex and we are confident that we will be able to
open these buildings with attractive rent levels and full
occupancy.
Catalinas building
During
the last quarter of the fiscal year 2016, we acquired from our
parent IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A.
(“IRSA”). 16,012 square meters that correspond to 14
floors and 142 parking spaces in the building to be developed in
the “Catalinas” area in the City of Buenos Aires, one
of the one of the most sought-after spots for office development in
Argentina. The building to be constructed will have 35,468 square
meters of gross leaseable area consisting of 30 office floors and
316 parking spaces. Construction is scheduled to begin towards the
end of the year 2016 and will take approximately three years to
complete.
Other Assets
As of
June 30, 2016, IRSA CP held a 9.5% interest in the stock capital of
TGLT, a real estate company listed on the BASE, mainly engaged in
the development of residential projects in Argentina and Uruguay.
In addition, it held its 11.4% interest in the e-commerce company
Avenida Inc.
Moreover, it
maintained its 20% interest in Tarjeta Shopping S.A., a consumer
finance company, and increased to 35% its indirect interest in La
Rural S.A., a company that holds usufruct rights for the commercial
operation of the emblematic “Predio Ferial de Palermo”
(Palermo exhibition center) in the City of Buenos
Aires.
Administration and Management of Shopping Centers
We
manage and operate each of the shopping centers in which we have
more than 50% ownership. We charge tenants a monthly management
fee, which varies from shopping center to shopping center,
depending on the cost of administration and maintenance of the
common areas and the administration of contributions made by
tenants to fund promotional efforts for the shopping center. We
charge a monthly management fee, paid prorated by the tenants,
according to their particular lease rates. This management fee is a
fixed amount in Alto Palermo, Alto Avellaneda, Abasto, Paseo
Alcorta, Alto NOA, Dot Baires, Alto Rosario, Soleil Premium Outlet,
Patio Bullrich, Distrito Arcos and Alto Comahue and a percentage of
the common area maintenance expenses in Buenos Aires Design,
Córdoba Shopping, Mendoza Plaza, and La Ribera
Shopping.
During
fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, we received the following
amounts in monthly maintenance fees (in thousands):
● Ps.480 in Alto
Palermo,
|
● Ps.443 in Alto
Avellaneda,
|
● Ps.517 in
Abasto,
|
● Ps.379 in Patio

|
● Ps.97 in Soleil
Premium Outlet,
|
● Ps.85 in Distrito

|
● Ps.85 in Alto

|
● 6% of the total
amount of the common area maintenance expenses in Córdoba
Shopping,
|
● 10% of the total
amount of the common area maintenance expenses in Buenos Aires
Design,
|
● 5% of the total
amount of the common area maintenance expenses in Mendoza Plaza,
and
|
● 5% of the total
amount of the common area maintenance expenses in La Ribera
Shopping.
|
Our
total revenues from management fees during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2016, were approximately Ps.34 million.
Principal Terms of our Leases
Under
the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code (which became effective on
August 1, 2015) lease terms may not exceed fifty years, except for
leases regulated by Law No. 25,248. Generally, terms in our lease
agreements go from three to ten years.
Leasable space in
our shopping centers is marketed through an exclusive arrangement
with our wholly owned subsidiary and real estate brokers Fibesa. We
have a standard lease agreement, the terms and conditions of which
are described below, which we use for most tenants. 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 consists of the higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the
“Base Rent”) and (ii) a specified percentage of the
tenant’s monthly gross sales in the store (the
“Percentage Rent”) (which generally ranges between 3%
and 12% of tenant’s gross sales). Furthermore, pursuant to
the rent escalation clause in most of our leases, a tenant’s
Base Rent generally increases between 18% and 27% on an annual and
cumulative basis from the thirteenth (13th) month of effective
date of the lease. Although many of our lease agreements contain
readjustment clauses, 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, we charge most of our tenants an admission right,
which is required to be paid upon entering into a lease agreement
and upon a lease agreement renewal. The admission right is normally
paid in one lump sum or in a small number of monthly installments,
which range between three and six. If the tenant pays this fee in
installments, it is the tenant’s responsibility to pay for
the balance of any such amount unpaid in the event the tenant
terminates its lease prior to its expiration. In the event of
unilateral termination and/or resolution for breach of duties by
the tenant, a tenant will not be refunded its admission right
without our consent.
We are
responsible for supplying each shopping center with the electrical
power connection and provision, a main telephone switchboard,
central air conditioning connection and a connection to a general
fire detection system. Each rental unit is connected to these
systems. We also provide the food court tenants with sanitation and
with gas systems connections. Each tenant is responsible for
completing all the necessary installations within its own rental
unit, in addition to the direct expenses generated by these items
within each rental unit. These direct expenses generally include:
electricity, water, gas, telephone and air conditioning. Tenants
must also pay for a percentage of total charges and general taxes
related to the maintenance of the common areas. We determine this
percentage based on different factors. The common area expenses
include, among others, administration, security, operations,
maintenance, cleaning and taxes.
We
carry out promotional and marketing activities in an effort to
increase consumer traffic at our shopping centers. The cost of
these activities are covered by tenants’ contributions to the
Common Promotional Fund (“CPF”), which is administered
by us. Every month, tenants contribute to the CPF an amount equal
to approximately 15% of their rent (Base Rent plus Percentage
Rent), in addition to rent and expense payments. We may increase
the percentage that tenants must contribute to the CPF, by up to a
cap of 25% of the original amount set forth in the corresponding
lease agreement for the contributions to the CPF. We may also
require tenants to make extraordinary contributions to the CPF to
fund special promotional and marketing campaigns or to cover the
costs of special promotional events that benefit all tenants. We
may require tenants to make these extraordinary contributions up to
four times a year provided that each such extraordinary
contribution may not exceed 25% of the preceding monthly rental
payment of the tenant.
Each
tenant leases its unit as a shell without any fixtures or
improvements. Each tenant is responsible for the interior design of
its rental unit. Any modifications and additions to the rental
units must be pre-approved by us. We have the option to decide
tenants’ responsibility 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
include, among other things, coverage for fire, glass breakage,
theft, flood, civil liability and workers’
compensation.
Control Systems
We own
computer systems to monitor tenants’ sales (except stands) in
all of our shopping centers. We also conduct regular manual audits
of our tenants accounting sales records in all of our shopping
centers. Almost every store in those shopping centers has a point
of sale that is linked to a main computer server in the
administrative office of such shopping center. We use 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, 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.
Insurance
We
carry all-risk insurance for the shopping centers 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.
Regulation
and Government 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 center lease
agreements. Since our shopping center leases generally differ from
ordinary commercial leases, we have created provisions which govern
the relationship with our shopping center 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; an
●
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.
Rent Increases
In
addition, there are contradictory court rulings with respect to
whether the rent price can or cannot be increased during the term
of the lease agreement. For example, Section 10 of the Public
Emergency Law prohibits the adjustment of rent under lease
agreements subject to official inflation rates, such as the
consumer price index or the wholesale price index. Most of our
lease agreements have incremental rent increase clauses 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 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.
Lease Term Limits
Under
the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code (which became effective on
August 1, 2015) lease terms may not exceed fifty years, except for
leases regulated by Law No. 25,248 (which provides that real estate
leases containing purchase options–leasing inmobiliario- are not subject
to term limitations). Generally, terms in our lease agreements go
from 3 to 10 years.
Rescission Rights
The
Argentine Civil and Commercial Code provides that tenants may
rescind lease agreements earlier after the first six months of the
effective date. Such rescission is subject to penalties which range
from one, to one and a half months of rent. If the tenant rescinds
during the first year of the lease the penalty is one and a half
month’s rent and if the rescission occurs after the first
year of lease the penalty is one month’s rent.
Other
The
Argentine Civil and Commercial Code, among other rules, repealed
the Urban Lease Law (No. 23,091), which provided for a rule similar
to the one described above, but established the obligation to give
at least 60 days’ prior notice of exercise of the unilateral
right to termination by the tenant. 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
termination.
While
current Argentine government policy discourages government
regulation of lease agreements, there can be no assurance that
additional regulations will not be imposed in the future by the
Argentine Congress, including regulations similar to those
previously in place. Furthermore, most of our leases provide that
the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to the property in
proportion to their respective leasable areas. In the event of a
significant increase in 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 Procedure Code enables
the lessor to pursue what is known as an “executory
proceeding” upon lessees’ failure to pay rent. 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 aforementioned code also permits
special eviction proceedings, which are carried out in the same way
as ordinary proceedings. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code
requires that a notice be given to the tenant demanding payment of
the amounts due in the event of breach prior to eviction, of no
less than ten days for leases for residential purposes, and
establishes no limitation or minimum notice for leases for other
purposes. However, historically, large court dockets and numerous
procedural hurdles have resulted in significant delays to eviction
proceedings, which generally last from six months to two years from
the date of filing of the suit to the time of actual
eviction.
Development and Use of the Land
Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code. Our
real estate activities are subject to several municipal zoning,
building, occupation and environmental regulations. In the city of
Buenos Aires, where the vast majority of our real estate properties
are located, the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code (Código de Planeamiento Urbano de la
Ciudad de Buenos Aires) generally restricts the density and
use of property and controls physical features of improvements on
property, such as height, design, set-back and overhang, consistent
with the city’s urban landscape policy. The administrative
agency in charge of the Urban Planning Code is the Secretary of
Urban Planning of the City of Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires Building Code. The Buenos
Aires Building Code (Código
de Edificación de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires)
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.
We
believe that all of our real estate properties are in material
compliance with all relevant laws, ordinances and
regulations.
Sales and Ownership
Real Estate Installment Sales Law. The
Real Estate Installment Sales Law No. 14,005, as amended by Law No.
23,266 and Decree No. 2015/85 (the “Real Estate Installment
Sales Law”), 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 Act,
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 Act prohibits the
rescission 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.
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 build
units or units to be built, 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 their 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.
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
from the consumer to the seller in order to protect the
consumers.
In
addition, the Consumer Protection Law imposes penalties ranging
from warnings to the forfeiture of concession rights, privileges,
tax regimes or special credits to which the sanctioned party 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 either with 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. The protection
under the laws afforded to consumers and end users encompasses the
entire consumer relationship process (from the offering of the
product or service) and it is not only based on a contract,
including the consequences thereof.
In
addition, the Consumer Protection Law establishes a joint and
several liability system under which for any damages caused to
consumers, if resulting from a defect or risk inherent in the thing
or the provision of a service, the producer, manufacturer,
importer, distributor, supplier, seller and anyone who has placed
its trademark on the thing or service shall be liable.
The
Consumer Protection Law excludes the services supplied by
professionals that require a college degree and registration in
officially recognized professional organizations or by a
governmental authority. However, this law regulates the
advertisements that promote the services of such
professionals. The Consumer
Protection Law determines that the information contained in the
offer addressed to undetermined prospective consumers, binds the
offer or during the period in which the offer takes place and until
its public revocation. Further, it determines that specifications
included in advertisements, announcements, prospectuses, circulars
or other media bind the offeror and are considered part of the
contract entered into by the consumer.
Pursuant to
Resolution No. 104/2005 issued by the Secretariat of Technical
Coordination reporting to the Argentine Ministry of Economy,
Consumer Protection Law adopted Resolution No. 21/2004 issued by
the Mercosur’s Common Market Group which requires that those
who engage in commerce over the Internet (E-Business) shall
disclose in a precise and clear manner the characteristics of the
products and/or services offered and the sale terms. Failure to
comply with the terms of the offer is deemed an unjustified denial
to sell and gives rise to sanctions.
On
September 17, 2014, a new Consumer Protection Law was enacted by
the Argentine Congress Law No. 26,993. This law, known as
“System for Conflict Resolution in Consumer
Relationships,” provided for the creation of new
administrative and judicial procedures for this field of Law. It
created a two-instance administrative system: the Preliminary
Conciliation Service for Consumer Relationships (Servicio de Conciliación Previa en las
Relaciones de Consumo,or “ 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. 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.
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. Pursuant to
Communication “A” 5477 issued by the Argentine 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.
Such law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a
sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of
biodiversity and fixes environmental policy goals.
Law No.
25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an
environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements
applicable thereto. In addition, such Law sets forth the duties and
obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment
and mainly provides for restoration of the environment to its
former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, for
payment of compensation in lieu thereof. Such
Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain
minimum reporting obligations to be fulfilled by natural and legal
entities.
In
addition, the CNV Rule require the obligation to report to the CNV
any events of any nature and fortuitous acts that seriously hinder
or could potentially hinder performance of our activities,
including any events that generate or may generate significant
impacts on the environment, providing details on the consequences
thereof.
The new
Argentine Civil and Commercial Code has entered into force on
August 1, 2015. As a consequence, we are still in the process of
analyzing together with our legal advisors the impact of this new
legislation in the operations of our business. It 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.

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.”

Operating Results
The
following Management’s Discussion & Analysis of the
financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and
accompanying notes included elsewhere in this annual report, as
well as the information presented under “Item 3 (a). Key
information – A. Selected Consolidated Financial Data”.
Our discussion of our operating and financial review and prospects
contain forward-looking statements that are based on current plans
and expectations. These forward-looking statements are affected by
risks and uncertainties that are discussed in “Item 3. Key
information – D. Risk Factors”.
For
purposes of the following discussion, unless otherwise specified,
references to fiscal years 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 relate to the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013,
respectively.
For
more information please see Note 38 to our Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements, “Foreign currency assets and
liabilities”.
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”.
We
believe the most critical accounting policies and significant areas
of judgment and estimation are in:
●
Impairment
testing of goodwill and non-current assets other than
goodwill
●
Determination
of the fair value of financial instruments
Impairment testing of goodwill and non-current assets other than
goodwill
IFRS
requires us to undertake an annual test for impairment of
indefinite lived assets and, for finite lived assets, to test for
impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Impairment testing
is an area involving management judgment, requiring assessment as
to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the net
present value of future cash flows derived from such assets using
cash flow projections which have been discounted at an appropriate
rate. In calculating the net present value of the future cash
flows, we are required to make certain assumptions in respect of
highly uncertain matters including management’s expectations
of estimates of future cash flows, market rents for similar
properties in the same location and condition, and discount
rates.
For
purposes of the impairment testing, we group assets at the lowest
levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows,
known as cash generating units (“CGU”). Given the
nature of our assets and activities, most of our individual assets
do not generate independent cash flows that are independent of
those from CGUs. Therefore, we estimate the recoverable amount of
the CGU to which the asset belongs, except where the fair value
less costs to sell of the individual asset is higher than its book
value; or the value in use of the asset can be estimated as being
close to its fair value less costs to sell, where fair value can be
reliably determined.
Generally, we
consider each shopping center, office building and undeveloped
property as a separate CGU. Details of the methods, estimates and
assumptions we make in our annual impairment testing of goodwill
are included in Note 5 in the Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements. No impairment of goodwill was identified.
|
Fair value of derivatives and other financial
instruments
|
The
fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in an
active market are determined by using valuation techniques like
extrapolation pricing model. We use our judgment to select a
variety of methods and make assumptions that are based on market
conditions existing at statement of financial
position.
When no
quoted prices in an active market are available, fair values are
based on recognized valuation methods. We uses a range of valuation
models for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments,
details of which may be obtained from the following
table:

Allowance for trade receivables
|
We
maintain an allowance for trade receivables to account for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make
required payments. When evaluating the adequacy of an allowance for
trade receivables, we base our estimates on the aging of accounts
receivable balances and historical write-off experience, customer
credit worthiness and changes in customer payment terms. If the
financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, actual
write-offs might be higher than expected.
We are
subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Our tax charge
on ordinary activities is the sum of the total current and deferred
tax charges. The calculation of our total tax charge necessarily
involves a degree of estimation and judgment in respect of certain
items whose tax treatment may not be always determined with
certainty due to interpretation. The final resolution of some of
these items may give rise to material profits, losses and/or cash
flows. The complexity of our structure makes the degree of
estimation and judgment more challenging. The resolution of issues
may not always be within our control and may depend on the
efficiency of legal action, if necessary. Issues can, and often do,
take many years to resolve. Payments in respect of tax liabilities
for an accounting period result from payments on account and on the
final resolution of open items. As a result there can be
substantial differences between the tax charge in the Consolidated
Statements of comprehensive income and tax payments.
We
recognize deferred tax assets only to the extent it is probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilized. We assess the realizability
of deferred tax assets by considering whether it is probable that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment.
The
amounts recognized in the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
in respect of each matter are derived from our best estimate and
judgment as described in Note 5 to the Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Business combinations
Business
combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.
Accounting for business combinations requires the determination of
the fair value of the various assets and liabilities of the
acquired business. The Company uses all available information to
make these fair value determinations, and for major acquisitions,
may hire an independent appraisal firm to assist in making fair
value estimates. In some instances, assumptions with respect to the
timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with
an asset might have to be used in determining its fair value. These
assumptions may differ materially from those initial estimates, and
if the timing is delayed significantly or if the net cash flows
decline significantly, the asset could become
impaired.
The
Company has elected to recognize acquisition of assets or group of
assets carried out between entities under common control who also
qualify as “Business Combination” according to IFRS 3,
using the acquisition method.
Overview
We are
owners and/or managers of 16 shopping centers in Argentina, 15 of
which are operated by the Company, totaling 333,155 square meters
of Gross Leaseable Area as of the closing of fiscal year 2016.
Moreover, the Company owns 79,048 square meters in 6 premium office
buildings and has a large reserve of land for future commercial
developments. We are operators and owners of majority stakes in 14
of our shopping centers in Argentina, seven of which are located in
the City of Buenos Aires (Abasto, Alcorta Shopping, Alto Palermo,
Patio Bullrich, Buenos Aires Design, Dot Baires Shopping and
Distrito Arcos), two in the Greater Buenos Aires area (Alto
Avellaneda and Soleil), and the rest in various provinces (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
in the City of Córdoba, and Alto Comahue in the City of
Neuquén). In addition, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales operates
La Ribera Shopping in the City of Santa Fe through a joint venture,
and owns the historic real estate that hosts the Patio Olmos
shopping center in the Province of Córdoba, which is operated
by a third party.
Effects
of the Argentine Macroeconomic Environment
All of
our assets are located in Argentina, where we conduct our
operations. Therefore, our financial condition and the results of
our operations are significantly dependent upon the economic
conditions prevailing in Argentina.

IPIM is the
wholesale price index as measured by the Argentine Ministry of
Economy and Production. Given the modifications to the system that
INDEC uses to measure IPIM, there is no data for any price
variations from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. For that reason, we
show accumulated prices from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016,
published by INDEC.
(2)
CPI is the consumer
price index as measured by the Argentine Ministry of Economy and
Production. Since January 2014, the Argentine government
established IPCNu, which more broadly reflects consumer prices by
considering price information from the 23 provinces of Argentina
and the City of Buenos Aires. Therefore, the consumer price index
for our fiscal 2014 only takes into account the six-month period
after the new consumer price index was introduced. Given the
modifications to the system that INDEC uses to measure CPI, there
is no data for any price variations for the fiscal year ended at
June 30, 2016, yet. For that reason, we show the interanual
inflation published by “Dirección General de
Estadísticas y Censos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Ministerio
de Hacienda”. It differ from inflation showed for 2015 and
2014 because of the change of government and changes in the systems
of measure of the INDEC. See Risk factor “There are concerns
about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation
statistics.”

corresponding to fiscal year 2016 is mostly due to the devaluation
that took place on December 17, 2015. See Risk factor
“Exchange controls and restrictions on transfers abroad and
capital inflow restrictions have been limited in the past, and may
limit the availability of international credit.”

According to the
IMF, Argentina’s growth projections for 2016 show that GDP is
expected to contract by 1.8%, due to a slight adjustment recession
during the year, because of the correction of macroeconomic and
microeconomic distortions in Argentina. However, growth is expected
to strengthen to 2.7 percent in 2017 on the back of
moderating inflation and more supportive monetary and fiscal policy
stances.
Argentine GDP
decreased 3.4% during our fiscal 2016, compared to the growth of
1.2% in our fiscal 2015. Consumption was the primary driver of
economic activity, as shopping center sales grew 41.4% as of June
30, 2016, compared to June 30, 2016, driven by the increase in
nominal salaries. As of June 30, 2016, the unemployment rate was at
9.3% of the country’s economically active population,
compared to 6.6% as of June 30, 2015.
Argentina’s
country risk, measured by the Emerging Market Bond Index, decreased
97 basis points for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, maintaining
a high spread vis-à-vis other countries in the region. The
debt premium paid by Argentina was at 518 points in June 2016,
compared to 352 paid by Brazil and 213 paid by Mexico.
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 centers. These factors,
combined with low GDP growth, may reduce general consumption rates
in our shopping centers. Since most of the lease agreements in our
shopping centers, our main source of revenue, require tenants to
pay a percentage of their total sales as rent, a general reduction
in consumption may reduce our revenue. A reduction in the number of
shoppers in our shopping centers and consequently, in the demand
for parking, may also reduce our revenues from services
rendered.
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:

In January 2014 the
Argentine government established IPCNu, which more broadly reflects
consumer prices by considering price information from the 23
provinces of Argentina and the City of Buenos Aires. Therefore, the
consumer price index for our fiscal 2014 only takes into account
the six-month period starting on January 1, 2014. Given the
modifications to the system that INDEC uses to measure CPI, there
is no data for any price variations for the fiscal year ended at
June 30, 2016, yet. For that reason, we show the interanual
inflation published by “Dirección General de
Estadísticas y Censos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Ministerio
de Hacienda”. It differ from inflation showed for 2015 and
2014 because of the change of government and changes in the systems
of measure of the INDEC. See Risk factor “There are concerns
about the accuracy of Argentina’s official inflation
statistics.”
(2)
Given the
modifications to the system that INDEC uses to measure IPIM, there
is no data for any price variations from July 1, 2015 to June 30,
2016. For that reason, we show accumulated prices from January 1,
2016 to June 30, 2016, published by INDEC.
Continuing
increases in inflation are likely to have an adverse effect on our
operations. Additionally, the minimum lease amounts paid by tenants
in our shopping centers are generally adjusted in accordance with
the CER, an inflation index published by the Central Bank. Although
higher inflation rates in Argentina may increase the minimum lease
amount, given that tenants tend to pass on any increases in their
own expenses to consumers, higher inflation may lead to increased
sale prices charged by tenants for their products, which will
ultimately reduce their sales volumes and consequently the portion
of rent we receive based on their total sales.
Since
the INDEC modified its methodology used to calculate the consumer
price index 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.
Seasonality
Our
business is directly affected by seasonality, influencing the level
of our tenants’ sales. During summer holidays (January and
February) our tenants’ sales typically reach their minimum
level, whereas during winter holidays (July) and in December
(Christmas) they reach their maximum level. Tenants selling clothes
generally change their collections in spring and autumn, positively
affecting our shopping centers’ sales. Sales at discount
prices at the end of each season are also one of the main seasonal
factors affecting our business.
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 of the Argentine 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 mortgages and 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.
During
fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, the Argentine Peso depreciated against
the U.S. dollar by approximately 66% and 12%, respectively, which
caused an impact on the comparability of our results of operations
for the year ended June 30, 2016 to our results of operations for
the year ended June 30, 2015, primarily in our revenues from office
rentals and our net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currency. The devaluation affected assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currency, and this effect is shown in the
line “financial results, net” of our income
statement.
As a
result of the devaluation of the Peso and the discontinuation of
the official exchange rate by the newly elected Argentine
government that took office 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 and Ps.15.3100 per US$1.00 on
September 30, 2016. See “Local Exchange Market and Exchange
Rates.”
Factors
Affecting Comparability of our Results
During
fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Argentine Peso depreciated by
approximately 66% against the U.S. Dollar, with the ensuing impact
on the comparison of the figures stated in the these financial
statements, mainly resulting from the exposure of our revenues and
costs of the “Offices and Other” segment and our net
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency to exchange
rate fluctuations. Also, for information about inflation effects
see “Operating Results - Effects of
inflation.”
Shopping centers:
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
During
fiscal year 2016, we maintained the same portfolio of operating
shopping centers.
As it
concerns the new shopping centers opened in fiscal year 2015,
“Distrito Arcos” and “Alto Comahue”, the
periods during which operating income (loss) was recorded were
different in both fiscal 2015 and 2016. Fiscal year 2016 includes
12 months of operations of Distrito Arcos and Alto Comahue, while
fiscal year 2015 includes six and-a-half months, and three and a
half month of operations, respectively, of each new shopping
center. However, the income (loss) derived from these new
developments, both in the income statement and in the information
by segments, was not significant compared to the total results of
this segment, for the indicated years. For this reason, there were
no material effects on the comparability of
information.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
During
fiscal year 2015 we inaugurated two new shopping centers:
“Distrito Arcos,” located in the area of Palermo, City
of Buenos Aires, in December 2014 and “Alto Comahue,”
located in the City of Neuquén, Argentine Patagonian region,
in March 2015. Income from these new developments, both in the
income statement and the information by segment was not significant
against the total results of this segment, for the indicated years.
For this reason, there were no material effects on the
comparability of information.
Offices and Other:
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
During
fiscal year 2016, the comparability of revenues and costs from the
Offices and Other segment was affected by the partial sale of
rental property allocated to this segment. In this regard, during
fiscal year 2016 we sold an area of 6,814 m2 in the
Intercontinental Plaza building.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
During
fiscal year 2015, the Offices and Other segment was affected by the
acquisition (in December 2014) of five new buildings from our
parent IRSA. This represented the addition of 83,789 square meters
in offices including Edificio República, Bouchard 710, Della
Paolera 265, Intercontinental Plaza and Suipacha 652 and the
“Intercontinental II” land reserve. This transaction
was considered as a Business Combination, and as such, costs
related to the acquisition were recognized as net income (loss).
Subsequently, during June 2015, 8,470 square meters of such area
were sold, which relates to the Intercontinental Plaza
building.
Sales and Developments
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
Operating income
(loss) from this segment was mainly affected by the partial sale of
the functional units in the Intercontinental Plaza building,
originally allocated to lease, during fiscal year 2016 and, to a
lesser extent, by a decrease in sales of properties compared to
fiscal year 2015 in relation to Condominios I and II
projects.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Operating income
(loss) from this segment was mainly affected by the partial sale of
the functional units in the Intercontinental Plaza building,
originally allocated to lease, during fiscal year 2015 and, to a
lesser extent, by a decrease in sales of properties compared to
fiscal year 2015 in relation to Condominios I and II
projects.
Financial Transactions and Other:
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
During
fiscal year 2016, there was no factor affecting comparability of
information, except for the effect of the change in the valuation
of the investment in Avenida accounted for during fiscal 2015. No
operating income (loss) was accounted for during fiscal 2016 in
relation to this investment, as compared to fiscal year 2015 when
operating income (loss) was accounted for in connection with the
first three months of the year.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
During
fiscal year 2015, income (loss) from this segment was affected by
transactions consummated in relation to the investment in Avenida,
including the exercise of warrants, a dilution of a portion of our
share interest in Avenida in view of the entry of a new investor
and the sale of 5.33% of our shareholding. As a result of these
transactions, we ceased to exert significant influence on Avenida
and, hence, to recognize our investment as an investment in an
associate accounted for under the equity method, and we started to
recognize it as a financial asset recorded at fair value through
profit or loss under financial and holding results, net which are
not disclosed in the information by segment.
Business
Segment Reporting
We are
required to disclose segment information in accordance with IFRS 8,
which requires that we report financial and descriptive information
about our reportable segments. Operating segments are components of
our business about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by our Executive committee,
in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The
discussion below should be read in conjunction with our disclosure
provided in Note 6 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
incorporated by reference herein.
We
operate our business through four different segments:
●
Our “Shopping
Centers” segment includes the operating results of our
shopping centers portfolio principally composed by lease and
service revenues from tenants.
●
Our “Offices
and Others” segment includes the operating results of our
lease and service revenues of office space and other non-retail
building properties principally comprised of lease and service
revenue from tenants.
●
Our “Sales
and Developments” segment includes the operating results of
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.
●
Our
“Financial Operations and Others” segment primarily
includes the financial activities carried out by the associate
Tarshop S.A., the residual financial operations of its subsidiary
Apsamedia S.A. (currently merged with IRSA CP). The e-commerce
activities conducted through the associate Avenida Inc. were also
included until the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30,
2015, then it has been considered as an investment in financial
assets.

(i)
Our
revenues are entirely originated in Argentina.
(ii)
All of
our assets included in the segment are located in
Argentina.
Our
shopping centers, offices and other rental properties, and trading
properties, are located in Argentina.
The
CODM evaluates performance of business segments based on segment
profit, defined as profit or loss from operations before financing
and taxation. The measurement principles for our segment reporting
structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements, except for:
●
The operating
income from the joint ventures Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. and
Quality Invest S.A. are reported under the proportional
consolidation method. Under this method, the income/loss generated
by joint ventures is reported in the Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income line-by-line, 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, because the assets and income/loss generated
by consolidated operations are similar to the assets and
income/loss booked under the equity method. This is due to the fact
that under the proportional consolidation method, revenues and
expenses are reported separately, instead of offsetting and
reporting them as a single item in the Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income. Therefore, the proportional consolidation
method is used by the CODM to assess and understand the return and
the results of operations of these businesses as a
whole.
Operating results
of Entertainment Holding S.A. joint venture is accounted for under
the equity method. Management believes that, in this case, this
method provides more adequate information for this type of
investment where the main asset consists of an indirect interest of
25% of La Rural S.A.
●
Operating results
does not include the amounts pertaining to building administration
expenses and collective promotion funds, and so does it exclude
total recovered costs, whether by way of building administration
expenses or other concepts included under financial results (for
example default interest and other concepts) and not analyzed to
assess the operating performance of the segment. The CODM examines
the net amount from both concepts (total surplus or deficit between
building administration expenses and collective promotion funds and
recoverable expenses).
These
costs and income are presented now for reconciliation of all
segments and their respective consolidating operating
income.
Revenues generated
and goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on
the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions between
segments, if any, are eliminated.
The
following tables present a reconciliation between the total results
of operations corresponding to segment information and the results
of operations as per the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income. The adjustments are related to the presentation of the
results of joint ventures on an equity-accounted basis under IFRS
and expenses and collective promotion funds.

Income/ (loss) from interests in joint
ventures:
As
mentioned in Note 2.3.e) to our Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015,
the income / (loss) from our joint ventures NPSF and Quality Invest
are accounted under the equity method in "Share of profit/(loss) of
associates and joint ventures" of our consolidated statements of
comprehensive income.
However, as
explained in Note 6 to our Audited Consolidated Financial
Statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015,
the operating results from these two joint ventures are accounted
using the proportionate consolidation method on information by
segments. Such method shows results from joint ventures in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income by Segments line by
line and not in a single line as required by IFRS. The operating
results from our joint ventures are allocated to each segment based
on the nature of the operations that generate such
results.
In
addition, the information by segments contemplates certain
inter-segment operations between related parties that were
eliminated from the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income
but which represent genuine revenues and/or costs of each segment.
Such operations mainly include lease of spaces and management fees.
The operating income (loss) from our joint ventures is allocated to
each business segment based on the nature of the operations that
generate such results.

(2)
Includes Revenues from sales, leases and services (Ps. 1,924.2
million) and income from Expenses and Collective Promotion Fund
(Ps. 833.9 million).
Revenues from
sales, leases and services, rose by 39.9%, from Ps. 2,758.1 million
during the fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 3,858.5 million during the
fiscal year 2016.
Income
from Expenses and Collective Promotion Fund increased by 41.9%,
from Ps. 833.9 million (Ps. 805.6 million of which were generated
by Shopping Centers segment and Ps. 28.3 million to the Offices and
Other segment) during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 1,183.6 million (Ps.
1,101.3 million of which were generated by Shopping Centers segment
and Ps. 82.4 million by the Offices and Other segment) during
fiscal year 2016.
In
addition, revenues from our joint ventures increased by 4.8%, from
Ps. 21.0 million (Ps. 13.1 million of which were generated by
Shopping Centers segment and Ps. 8.0 million by the Offices and
Other segment) during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 22.0 million (Ps.
19.9 million of which were generated by the Shopping Centers
segment and Ps. 2.2 million by the Offices and Other segment)
during fiscal year 2016.
Pursuant to the
information by segments (taking into account the revenues from our
joint ventures and disregarding income from Expenses and Collective
Promotion Fund and inter-segment revenues), revenues increased by
38.6%, from Ps. 1,945.2 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.
2,696.9 million during fiscal year 2016. This increase was mainly
attributable to: (i) a Ps. 630.8 million increase in revenues from
the Shopping Centers segment (Ps. 6.8 million of which were
attributable to the results of our joint ventures); (ii) a Ps.
124.0 million increase in the revenues from the Offices and Other
segment (with a Ps. 5.8 million decrease in revenues from our joint
ventures), and (iii) an increase of Ps. 0.9 million in revenues
from the Financial Transactions and Other segment; partially offset
by (iv) a Ps. 3.9 million decrease in revenues from the Sales and
Developments segment.
Shopping Centers. Revenues from the
Shopping Centers segment increased by 35.5%, from Ps. 1,778.3
million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 2,409.1 million during
fiscal year 2016, is mainly attributable to: (i) a Ps. 471.3
million increase in revenues from fixed and variable leases as a
result of a 34.4% increase in the total sales of our tenants, up
from Ps. 21,508.7 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 28,904.9
million during fiscal year 2016; (ii) a Ps. 50.9 million increase
in revenues from admission rights (key money), (iii) a Ps. 41.3
million increase in revenues from parking charges, and (iv) a Ps.
36.5 million increase in revenues from commissions, among other
items.
Offices and Others. Revenues from the
Offices and Other segment increased by Ps. 124.0 million, from Ps.
160.1 million in fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 284.1 million in fiscal
year 2016. This variation mainly results from revenues generated by
the new offices.
Sales and Developments. Revenues from
the Sales and Developments segment often change significantly from
one period to the other due to non-recurrence of different sale
transactions carried out by us. Revenues from the Sales and
Developments segment decreased by Ps. 3.9 million,
from
Ps. 6.6 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 2.7 million during
fiscal year 2016. Such decrease mainly resulted from a decline in
the sales of units in the Condominios I and II project during
fiscal year 2016.
Financial Operations and Others.
Revenues from the Financial Operations and Others segment did not
experience significant changes, up from Ps. 0.1 million during
fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 1 million during fiscal year
2016.

Total
consolidated costs, increased by 42.0%, up from Ps. 1,183.1 million
during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 1,680.2 million during fiscal year
2016. In turn, total consolidated costs as a percentage of total
revenues was 42.9% during fiscal year 2015 compared to 43.5% during
fiscal year 2016.
In
turn, costs from Expenses and Collective Promotion Fund increased
by 41.7%, up from Ps. 848.0 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.
1,201.3 million during fiscal year 2016. The variation was mainly
due to: I) an increase in Expenses and Collective Promotion Fund
generated by the Shopping Centers segment, which increased by
36.5%, up from Ps. 819.7 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.
1,118.9 million during fiscal year 2016, as a result of: (i) an
increase in publicity and advertising expenses of Ps. 111.8
million; (ii) an increase in salaries, social security charges and
other personnel expenses of Ps. 103.1 million; (iii) an increase in
maintenance, security, repairs and related expenses of Ps. 100.8
million (mostly attributable to an increase in security and
maintenance services and utility rates); (iv) an increase in taxes,
rates and contributions, and other expenses of Ps. 25.5 million;
and (v) an increase in other miscellaneous items of Ps. 42.0
million (incurred in covering the deficit in the Collective
Promotion Fund and expenses). In addition, the variation was due
to: II) an increase in expenses resulting from the Expenses from
the Offices and Other segment, which increased by Ps. 54.1 million,
up from Ps. 28.3 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 82.4
million during fiscal year 2016, mainly due to the acquisition of
the new buildings (maintenance, cleaning and leases expenses and
expenses and other for Ps. 36.1 million, salaries and social
security expenses for Ps. 10.8 million, taxes, rates and
contributions and utilities for Ps. 8.9 million).
In
addition, costs from our joint ventures increased by 37.8%, from
Ps. 9.4 million (Ps. 4 million of which are allocated to the
Shopping Centers segment and Ps. 5.5 million to the Offices and
Other segment) during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 13.0 million (Ps. 4.7
million of which were attributable to the Shopping Centers segment
and Ps. 8.3 million to the Offices and Other segment) during fiscal
year 2016.
Therefore, based on
the information by segment (taking into account the costs from our
joint ventures and disregarding costs from Expenses and Collective
Promotion Fund and business inter-segment costs), costs increased
by 42.8%, from Ps. 344.5 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps.
491.9 million during fiscal year 2016. Total costs as a percentage
of total revenues pursuant to the information by segments increased
from 17.7% during fiscal year 2015 to 18.2% during fiscal year
2016.
Shopping Centers. Costs attributable to
the Shopping Centers segment increased from Ps. 264.8 million
during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 370.6 million during fiscal year

Other segment of Ps. 116.0 million; and (iii) an increase in
operating income from the Sales and Developments segment of Ps.

31.9 million, from a profit of Ps. 14.6 million during fiscal year
2015 to a loss of Ps. 17.3 million during fiscal year 2016 mainly

profit of Ps. 7.5 million from our Offices and Other
segment.

Financial results,
net increased by 57.5%, from a loss of Ps. 451.5 million during

2016.
Financial revenues
increased by Ps. 407.4 million, from Ps. 105.1 million during
fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 512.6 million during fiscal year 2016,
mainly as a result of: (i) a Ps. 374.6 million increase in foreign
exchange gains due to the impact of a higher depreciation of the
Peso during fiscal year 2016 on our US Dollar-denominated net
assets compared to lower depreciation during fiscal year 2015 (the
Peso/Dollar exchange rate increased by 66.2% during fiscal year
2016, from Ps. 8.988 as of June 30, 2015 to Ps. 14.94 as of June
30, 2016, while during fiscal year 2015, it increased by 11.89%
compared to fiscal year 2014, from Ps. 8.03 as of June 30, 2014 to
Ps. 8.988 as of June 30, 2015), and (ii) a net increase of Ps. 32.9
million in interest income, mainly generated by default interest
payable by clients and related parties, and gains (losses) from the
sale of securities and fixed-term bank deposits.
Financial expenses
increased by 386.6%, from Ps. 603.9 million during fiscal year 2015
to Ps. 2,938.5 million during fiscal year 2016, mainly as a result
of: (i) a Ps. 1,979.9 million increase in foreign exchange losses
due to the impact of higher depreciation of the Peso during fiscal
year 2016 on the amount outstanding of our US Dollar-denominated
debt as compared to depreciation during fiscal year 2015 (the
Peso/Dollar exchange rate increased by 65.5% during fiscal year
2016, from Ps. 9.088 to US$ 1.00 as of June 30, 2015 to Ps. 15.04
to US$ 1.00 as of June 30, 2016, while during fiscal year 2015, it
increased by 11.74% compared to fiscal year 2014, from Ps. 8.133 to
US$ 1.00 as of June 30, 2014 to Ps. 9.088 to US$ 1.00 as of June
30, 2015); (ii) a Ps. 283.3 million increase in interest expense,
mainly attributable to higher interest on intercompany
indebtedness, Notes and bank overdrafts; (iii) an increase in other
financial expenses of Ps. 58.4 million mainly attributable to
expenses in connection with the tender offer and request for
consent of IRSA CP Class I Notes and increased charges on account
of tax on bank credits and debits and turnover tax; and (vi)
capitalized finance cost of Ps. 13.0 million in fiscal year
2015.
Other
financial results increased by Ps. 1,667.5 million from a gain of
Ps. 47.2 million during fiscal year 2015 to a gain of Ps. 1,714.7
million during fiscal year 2016, mainly as a result of: (i) a Ps.
416.2 million increase in revenues generated by the valuation of
financial assets at fair value (derived from the re-valuation of
Government securities and Bonds, mutual funds and other
investments) and (ii) larger gains from future currency exchange
derivatives, mainly dollar currency futures were traded in Mercado
a Término de Rosario S.A, and interest rate swaps of Ps.
1,251.3 million.
Income
Tax
Profit
before Income Tax increased by 32,3% from Ps. 911.4 million during
fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 1,206.0 million during fiscal year 2016,
due to the factors described above. Profit before Income Tax
includes Uruguayan-source income, which is taxed at 0%. Profit
before Income Tax at the prevailing tax rate does not include such
uruguayan sourced income, and therefore Income Tax expenses
increased only 1.2%, from Ps. 290.8 million during fiscal year 2015
to Ps. 294.3 million during fiscal year 2016.
In
determining the income tax charge, we apply the deferred tax
method, recognizing the temporary differences between the book
value, the valuation of assets and liabilities for tax purposes and
the application of tax loss carry forwards. For this reason, the
amount recorded as income tax reflects not only the amount payable
but also the recognition of the tax on the taxable income as
booked.
Net
Income
As a
result of the factors described above, net income for fiscal year
2016 increased by 46.9%, from Ps. 620.6 million during fiscal year
2015 to Ps. 911.7 million during fiscal year 2016. Income
attributable to our parent company's shareholders increased by
40.5%, from Ps. 581.3 million during fiscal year 2015 to Ps. 816.6
million during fiscal year 2016. Income attributable to
non-controlling interest increased by 141.7% during fiscal year
2016, from Ps. 39.3 million to Ps. 95.1 million during fiscal year
2015.

during the fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 1,924.2 million during the
fiscal year 2015.
Income
from Expenses and Collective Promotion Fund increased by 24.9%,
from Ps. 667.8 million (Ps. 659.7 million of which were generated
by the Shopping Centers segment and Ps. 8.1 million by the Offices
and Other segment) during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 833.9 million
(Ps. 805.6 million of which were generated by the Shopping Centers
segment and Ps. 28.3 million by the Offices and Other segment)
during fiscal year 2015.
Revenues from our
joint ventures increased by 20.0%, from Ps. 17.5 million (Ps. 9.2
million of which were generated by to the Shopping Centers segment
and Ps. 8.2 million by the Offices and Other segment) during fiscal
year 2014 by Ps. 21.0 million (Ps. 13.1 million of which were
generated by the Shopping Centers segment and Ps. 8.0 million to
the Offices and Other segment) during fiscal year
2015.
Finally, during
fiscal year 2015 no inter-segment revenues were recorded, for which
reason a Ps. 0.4 million decrease was recorded for this
item.
Pursuant to the
information by segment (taking into account the revenues from our
joint ventures and disregarding income from Expenses and Collective
Promotion Fund and inter-segment revenues), revenues increased by
33.0%, from Ps. 1,463.1 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.
1,945.2 million during fiscal year 2015. This increase was mainly
attributable to: (i) a Ps. 395.3 million increase in revenues from
the Shopping Centers segment (Ps. 3.8 million of which were
attributable the results of our joint ventures) and (ii) a Ps.
132.6 million increase in the revenues from the Offices and Other
segment (Ps. 0.2 million of which were attributable the results of
our joint ventures), partially offset by a decrease in revenues
from the Sales and Developments segment equal to Ps. 45.3 million
and Ps. 0.4 million in revenues from the Financial Operations and
Others segment.
Shopping Centers. Revenues from the
Shopping Centers segment increased by 28.6%, from Ps. 1,383.0
million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 1,778.3 million during
fiscal year 2015, mainly attributable to: (i) a Ps. 317.8 million
increase in revenues from fixed and variable leases as a result of
a 33.3% increase in the total sales of our tenants, up from Ps.
16,132.8 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 21,508.7 million
during fiscal year 2015; (ii) a Ps. 30.0 million increase in
revenues from admission rights, (iii) a Ps. 30.6 million increase
in revenues from parking charges; and (iv) a Ps. 17.0 million
increase in revenues from commissions, management fees and
other.

Offices and Other segment increased by Ps. 132.6 million, from Ps.
27.6 million in fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 160.1 million in fiscal
year 2015. This variation mainly results from (i) revenues
generated by the new offices acquired in December 2014 for Ps.
121.8 million and (ii) an increase in the revenues from office
leases in the Dot building and other rental properties of Ps. 10.8
million.
Sales and Developments. Revenues from
the Sales and Developments segment generally change significantly
from one period to the other due to non-recurrence of different
sale transactions carried out by us. Revenues from the Sales and
Developments segment decreased by Ps. 45.3 million, from Ps. 51.9
million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 6.6 million during fiscal
year 2015. Such decrease mainly resulted from a decline in the
sales of units in the Condominios I and II project during fiscal
year 2015.
Financial Operations and Others.
Revenues from the Financial Operations and Others segment decreased
from Ps. 0.6 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 0.1 million
during fiscal year 2015 as a result of a decline in revenues from
residual consumer financing activities carried out by
us.

Total
consolidated costs increased by 23.7%, up from Ps. 956.2 million
during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 1,183.1 million during fiscal year
2015. In turn, total consolidated costs as a percentage of total
revenues was 45.3% during fiscal year 2014 compared to 42.9% during
fiscal year 2015.
In turn, costs from
Expenses and Collective Promotion Fund increased by 25.6%, up from
Ps. 675.2 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 848.0 million
during fiscal year 2015. The variation was mainly due to: I) an
increase in Expenses and Collective Promotion Fund generated by
the Shopping Centers
segment, which increased by 22.9%, up from Ps. 667.1 million during
fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 819.7 million during fiscal year 2015, as a
result of: (i) an increase in maintenance, security, cleaning,
repairs and related expenses of Ps. 59.8 million (mainly
attributable to an increase in security and maintenance services
and utility rates); (ii) an increase in publicity and advertising
expenses of Ps. 27.9 million, (iii) an increase in salaries, social
security charges and other personnel expenses of Ps. 30.2 million;
(iv) an increase in taxes, rates and contributions, and other
expenses of Ps. 20.8 million; and (v) an increase in other
miscellaneous items of Ps. 14.1 million (mainly generated by
travel, transportation, and stationery expenses, among others). In
addition, the variation was due to an increase in expenses in the
Offices and Other segment, which increased by Ps. 20.2 million, up
from Ps. 8.1 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 28.3 million
during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to the acquisition of the new
buildings (salaries and social security expenses for Ps. 4.3
million, taxes, rates and contributions and utilities for Ps. 7.6
million, maintenance, cleaning and leases expenses and expenses and
other for Ps. 8.2 million).
In
addition, costs from our joint ventures increased by 27.6%, from
Ps. 7.4 million (Ps. 2.8 million of which are allocated to the
Shopping Centers segment and Ps. 4.6 million to the Offices and
Other segment) during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 9.4 million (Ps. 4.0
million of which were attributable to the Shopping Centers segment
and Ps. 5.5 million to the Offices and Other segment) during fiscal
year 2015.
Finally, during
fiscal year 2015 no inter-segment costs were recorded, for which
reason a Ps. 0.4 million decrease was recorded for this
item.
Therefore, based on
the information by segment (taking into account the costs from our
joint ventures and disregarding costs from common maintenance
expenses and common advertising fund and business inter-segment
costs), costs increased by 19.3%, from Ps. 288.8 million during
fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 344.5 million during fiscal year 2015.
Total costs as a percentage of total revenues pursuant to the
information by segments decreased from 19.7% during fiscal year
2014 to 17.7% during fiscal year 2015.
Shopping Centers. Costs attributable to
the Shopping Centers segment showed a slight decline of 1.1%, from
Ps. 267.7 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 264.8 million
during fiscal year 2015, mainly generated by: (i) lower costs for
the deficit in Common Maintenance Expenses and Common Advertising
Fund of our Shopping Centers in the amount of Ps. 35.9 million; and
(ii) a decrease in depreciation and amortization charges of Ps. 3.9
million; partially offset by higher costs derived from: (a) an
increase in maintenance, security, cleaning, repairs and related
expenses of Ps. 12.9 million (mainly due to an increase in security
and cleaning expenses and utility rates); (b) an increase in
salaries, social security charges and other personnel expenses of
Ps. 10.1 million; (c) an increase in taxes, rates and contributions
and other expenses of Ps. 8.8 million (mainly due to increases in
provincial taxes on land and municipal rates for utilities, among
other items); and (d) an increase in fees and compensation for
services of Ps. 5.6 million. The Shopping Centers segment costs, as
a percentage of revenues from this segment decreased from 19.4%
during fiscal year 2014 to 14.9% during fiscal year
2015.
Offices and Others. The costs of the
Offices and Other segment increased by Ps. 65.0 million, from Ps.
9.8 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 74.8 million during
fiscal year 2015, mainly due to higher amortization expenses
derived from the acquisition of new offices for Ps. 61.9 million.
The costs of the Offices and Other segment, as a percentage of the
revenues from this segment, increased from 35.4% during fiscal year
2014 to 46.7% during fiscal year 2015.
Sales and Developments. The costs of the
Sales and Developments segment showed a Ps. 6.0 million decline,
from Ps. 10.9 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 4.9 million
during fiscal year 2015, mainly due to a decrease in the sale of
units in the Condominios I and II projects of the Rosario plots of
land. The costs of the Sales and Developments segment, as a
percentage of the revenues from this segment increased from 21.0%
during fiscal year 2014 to 74.8% during 2015.
Financial Operations and Others. The
cost of the Financial Operations and Others segment decreased from
Ps. 0.4 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 0.1 million during
fiscal year 2015, mainly as a result of a gradual decline in
residual consumer financing activities of us. The costs of the
Financial Transactions and Other segment, as a percentage of the
revenues from this segment, decreased from 65.0% during fiscal year
2014 to 38.1% during 2015.

consolidated gross profit, as per the income statement, increased
by 36.2%, from Ps. 1,156.8 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps.
1,575.0 million during fiscal year 2015. Total consolidated gross
profit, as a percentage of total revenues, increased from 54.7%
during fiscal year 2014 to 57.1% during fiscal year
2015.
In
turn, gross profit (loss) from Expenses and Collective Promotion
Fund increased by 90.2%, from Ps. 7.4 million (attributable to the
Shopping Centers segment) during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 14.1
million (attributable to the Shopping Centers segment) during
fiscal year 2015.
In
addition, gross profit (loss) from our joint ventures increased by
14.5%, from Ps. 10.1 million (Ps. 6.5 million of which are
allocated to the Shopping Centers segment and Ps. 3.6 million to
the Offices and Other segment) during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 11.6
million (Ps. 9.1 million of which are attributable to the Shopping
Centers segment and Ps. 2.5 million to the Offices and Other
segment) during fiscal year 2015.
Therefore, based on
the information by segment, gross profit (taking into account the
gross profit (loss) from our joint ventures and disregarding the
gross profit (loss) from expenses and the collective promotion fund
and the business inter-segment gross profit) increased by 36.3%,
from Ps. 1,174.3 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 1,600.7
million during fiscal year 2015. The gross profit as a percentage
of revenues increased from 80.3% during fiscal year 2014 to 82.3%
during fiscal year 2015.
Shopping Centers. Gross profit from the
Shopping Centers segment increased by 35.7%, from Ps. 1,115.3
million for fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 1,513.5 million during fiscal
year 2015, mainly as a result of an increase in total sales of our
tenants, giving rise to higher rental percentages under our lease
agreements. Gross profit from our Shopping Centers segment as a
percentage of revenues for the segment increased from 80.6% during
fiscal year 2014 to 85.1% during fiscal year 2015.
Offices and Others. Gross profit from
the Offices and Other segment increased by Ps. 67.6 million from
Ps. 17.8 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 85.4 million during
fiscal year 2015. Gross profit from the Offices and Other segment
as a percentage of revenues from this segment decreased from 64.6%
during fiscal year 2014 to 53.3% during fiscal year 2015, mainly
attributable to a higher increase in this segment's costs against
revenues as explained above for this period.
Sales and Developments. Gross profit
from the Sales and Developments segment decreased by 95.9%, from
Ps. 41.0 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 1.7 million during
fiscal year 2015. This decrease mainly resulted from lower revenue
from sales of the units in Condominios I and II in Rosario during
fiscal year 2015 compared to the fiscal year 2014. Gross profit
from the Sales and Developments segment as a percentage of the
revenues from this segment decreased from 79.0% during fiscal year
2014 to 25.2% during fiscal year 2015, mainly as a result of lower
revenues from this segment against costs as explained
above.
Financial Operations and Others. Gross
profit from the Financial Operations and Others segment decreased
by 54.7%, from Ps. 0.2 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 0.1
million during fiscal year 2015. Gross profit from this segment as
a percentage of revenues increased from 35.0% during fiscal year
2014 to 61.9% during fiscal year 2015. This variation is mainly due
to a decrease in residual consumer financing activities of
us.
Income
from sale of investment properties
Income
from the sale of investment properties, derived from our Sales and
Developments segment, increased from Ps. 0.3 million during fiscal
year 2014 to Ps. 126.7 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly as a
result of: (i) a Ps. 123.7 million income generated by the sale of
units in the Intercontinental building, in June 2015 and (ii) a Ps.
2.9 million income generated by the sale under a barter agreement
of the Conil property, in November 2014.

inter-segment eliminations, selling expenses increased by 52.5%,
from Ps. 78.0 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 119.0 million
during fiscal year 2015. This increase was mainly attributable to:

expenses of Ps. 0.5 million from the Financial Transactions and

Shopping Centers. Selling expenses from
the Shopping Centers segment increased by 53.7%, from Ps. 73.4
million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 112.8 million during fiscal

advertising expenses; (iii) an increase of Ps. 5.1 million in loan

Sales and Developments. Selling expenses
from our Sales and Developments segment decreased by 93.4%, from
Ps. 3.9 million during fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 0.3 million during

year 2015, compared to fiscal year 2014. Selling expenses from the
Sales and Developments segment as a percentage of the revenues from
this segment decreased from 7.4 % during fiscal year 2014 to 3.8 %

year 2014 to income of Ps. 14.6 million during fiscal year 2015.
This variation was mainly due to (i) a profit of Ps. 29.2 million
generated by our Financial Transactions and Other segment;
partially offset by a loss of Ps. 1.7 million from our Offices and
Other segment.
Offices and Others. The share of loss in
associates and joint ventures increased from a loss of Ps. 0.9
million during fiscal year 2014 to a loss of Ps. 2.6 million during
fiscal year 2015, mainly generated by our interest in Entertainment
Holding S.A.
Financial Operations and Others. The
share of profit in associates and joint ventures from the Financial
Operations and Others segment increased from a loss of Ps. 18.5
million during fiscal year 2014 to a profit of Ps. 10.7 million
during fiscal year 2015, mainly generated by: (i) the profit from
our investment in Avenida until September 2014 in the amount of Ps.
21.3 million and (ii) a lower loss from Tarshop S.A. equal to Ps.
7.9 million.
Financial
results, net
Financial results,
net increased by 50.2%, from a loss of Ps. 300.7 million during
fiscal year 2014 to a loss of Ps. 451.5 million during fiscal year
2015.
Financial revenues
decreased by 15.5%, from Ps. 124.5 million during fiscal year 2014
to Ps. 105.1 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly as a result
of: (i) a Ps. 28.6 million decrease in foreign exchange gains due
to the impact of a lower Peso depreciation during fiscal year 2015
on our U.S. Dollar-denominated net assets compared to a higher
depreciation during fiscal year 2014 (the Peso/Dollar exchange rate
increased by 11.9% during fiscal year 2015, from Ps. 8.033 as of
June 30, 2014 to Ps. 8.988 as of June 30, 2015, while during fiscal
year 2014, it increased by 50.2% compared to fiscal year 2013, from
Ps. 5.348 as of June 30, 2013 to Ps. 8.033 as of June 30, 2014),
mainly offset by (ii) a net increase of Ps. 9.3 million in interest
income, mainly generated by default interest payable by clients and
related parties, and gains(losses) from the sale of securities and
fixed-term bank deposits.
Financial expenses
increased by 20.8%, from Ps. 499.9 million during fiscal year 2014
to Ps. 603.9 million during fiscal year 2015, mainly as a result
of: (i) a Ps. 178.1 million increase in interest expense, mainly
attributable to: (i) higher interest on the intercompany
indebtedness due to the acquisition of offices from our parent
company IRSA in December 2014, for a purchase price of Ps. 96.8
million; (ii) interest on bank overdrafts of Ps. 48.6 million;
(iii) interest of Ps. 14.2 million on the debt incurred to finance
the purchase of Shopping Soleil Premium Outlet; (iv) interest on
our Series I Notes due 2017 equal to Ps. 16.0 million; (v) an
increase in other financial expenses of Ps. 12.2 million for the
tax on bank credits and debits; and (vi) a decrease in recovery for
capitalized financial expenses of Ps. 9.4 million; partially offset
by a Ps. 95.7 million decrease in loss from foreign exchange as a
result of the impact of a lower depreciation of the Peso against
other currencies during fiscal year 2015 on our U.S.
Dollar-denominated indebtedness compared to a higher depreciation
during fiscal year 2014 (the US Dollar exchange rate increased by
11.74% during fiscal year 2015, from Ps. 8.133 to US$ 1.00 as of
June 30, 2014 to Ps. 9.088 to US$ 1.00 as of June 30, 2015, while
during fiscal year 2014, it increased by 50.95% compared to fiscal
year 2013, from Ps. 5.388 as of June 30, 2013 to Ps. 8.133 as of
June 30, 2014).
Other
financial results decreased by Ps. 27.5 million from a Ps. 74.7
million gain during fiscal year 2014 to a Ps. 47.2 million gain
during fiscal year 2015, mainly as a result of: (i) a Ps. 84.3
million decrease in revenues generated by the valuation of
financial assets at fair value (derived from the valuation of
Government securities and Bonds and a reduction in the shareholding
of mutual funds and other investments) and (ii) lower income
generated by future currency exchange derivatives and interest rate
swaps of Ps. 15.5 million; partially offset by a Ps. 72.2 million
income generated by the valuation at fair value of the shares in
Avenida as of June 2015.
Income
Tax
Income
tax expense increased by 28.3%, from Ps. 226.7 million during
fiscal year 2014 to Ps. 290.8 million during fiscal year 2015,
mainly due to a change in income before income tax at the
prevailing tax rate.
In
determining the income tax charge, we apply the deferred tax
method, recognizing the temporary differences between the book
value, the valuation of assets and liabilities for tax purposes and
the application of tax loss carryforwards. For this reason, the
amount recorded as income tax reflects not only the amount payable
but also the recognition of the tax on the taxable income as
booked.
Net
Income
As a
result of the factors described above, net income for fiscal year
2015 increased by 51.2%, from income of Ps. 410.5 million during
fiscal year 2014 to a Ps. 620.6 million income during fiscal year
2015. Income attributable to our parent company's shareholders
increased by 54.2%, from Ps. 377.0 million during fiscal year 2014
to Ps. 581.3 million during fiscal year 2015. Income attributable
to the non-controlling interest increased by 17.5% during fiscal
year 2015, from Ps. 33.5 million to Ps. 39.3 million during fiscal
year 2014.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our
principal sources of liquidity have historically been:
●
cash
generated from operations;
|
●
cash
generated from the issuance of capital stock and notes;
and
|
●
cash
from borrowings (including bank overdrafts) and financing
arrangements.
|
Our
principal cash requirements or uses (other than in connection with
our operating activities) have historically been:
●
the
acquisition of shopping centers;
|
●
the
development of new shopping centers;
|
●
the
improvement of existing shopping centers;
|
●
the development of
properties for sale;
|
●
working
capital needs; and
|
●
the maintenance of
cash and other liquid assets to enable us to take advantage of the
acquisition and development of investment opportunities as they
arise
We
believe our working capital and our cash from operating activities
are adequate for us present and future requirements. In the event
that cash generated from our operations is at any time insufficient
to finance our working capital, we would seek to finance such
working capital needs through debt or equity financing or through
the sale of properties available for sale.

D. Trend Information
International
Outlook:
As
reported by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) in
its “World Economic Outlook” (“WEO”),
global activity increased by 3.1% in 2015, 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 3.2% in 2016 and 3.5% in 2017. In 2016 and 2017, growth in
developed economies is expected to remain steady at about 2%,
driven by the growth in the United States of 2.5%, and in the Euro
area, of 1.5%.
As of
April 2016, emerging and developing economies have recorded growth
rates at 4%, also slightly below the projections. They are expected
to grow 4.1% and 4.7% by the end of 2016 and 2017. 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 desacelerations.
During
2014 and 2015, the commodities markets suffered a strong decline.
Mainly, oil exhibited a sustained negative trend until reaching a
historical low in February 2016. During 2016, the commodities
markets exhibited a strong recovery with a 31.6% rise in oil
prices. Soybean reversed the decline it had suffered in 2014 and
2015 and rose 33.6%.
The
IMF’s forecasts indicate that inflation in the economies of
emerging and developing markets will decrease from 4.7% in 2015 to
4.5% in 2016, due to the decline in the prices of raw materials and
the effects of last year’s currency depreciations evening
out.
Average
inflation in advanced economies will remain below the goals set by
central banks, mostly as a result of the lower price of oil. As of
April 2016, the general level of inflation in advanced economies
averaged 0.3%, the lowest since the global financial
crisis.
Argentine
economy:
On
October, 2016, IMF published its growth projection for 2016 for
1.8% decline of the GDP. This correction was due to the change in
policies implemented by the new government administration aimed at
balancing certain macroeconomic distortions. Growth is expected to
strengthen to 2.7 percent in 2017 on the back of
moderating inflation and more supportive monetary and fiscal policy
stances.
Shopping center and
supermarket sales reached a total Ps. 4,374 million in April 2016,
which represents a 41.4% increase as compared to the same period
last year. Accumulated sales for the first four months of the year
totaled Ps. 14,586 million, representing a 29.2% increase as
compared to the same period last year.
The
INDEC reports that, as of April 2016, industrial activity in
Argentina decreased by 6.7% as compared to the same month in 2015.
Manufacturing production accumulated a 2.4% decline during the
first four months of the year as compared to the same period last
year.
Regarding the
balance of payments, in the first quarter of 2016 the current
account deficit reached US$ 4,013 million, with US$ 1,403 million
allocated to the goods and services trade balance, and US$ 2,572
million to the income account, which represents 72% of the foreign
direct investment return.
During
the first quarter of 2016, the financial account showed a surplus
of US$ 8,510 million resulting from net income from the
non-financial public sector and the Argentine Central Bank
(“BCRA”) for US$ 6,233 million, from the non-financial
private sector for US$ 1,701 million, and from the financial sector
for US$ 576 million.
The
stock of international Reserves fell by US$ 5,844 million in 2015.
During the first half of 2016, reserves grew by US$ 4,944 million.
At July, reserves stood at US$ 25,512 million.
Total
gross external debt increased by US$ 10,605 million during the
first quarter of 2016 and stood at US$ 163,236 million at March
2016.
The
non-financial public sector and Argentine Central Bank debt was
estimated at US$ 92,469 million, having increased by US$ 8,593
million during the first quarter of 2016. The Argentine Central
Bank’s government security and bond outstanding balance
increased by US$ 3,431 million during the first quarter of 2016. At
the end of this quarter, the balance stood at 43,794
million.
The
non-financial private debt grew US$ 2,261 during the first quarter
of 2016. At March 2016, such debt stood at US$ 67,621
million.
The
financial sector debt excluding the Argentine Central Bank
decreased by US$ 250 million during the first quarter of 2016,
reaching a total of US$ 3,145 million.
In
connection with the fiscal sector, revenues recorded a year-on-year
increase of 38.9% as of March 2016, whereas primary expenditure
grew by 38.7% during the same period.
In
local financial markets, the Private Badlar rate in Pesos ranged
from 20% to 30% in the period from July 2015 to June 2016,
averaging 28% in June 2016 against 20% in June 2015. The Argentine
Central Bank discontinued its controlled floating exchange rate
policy in December 2015; consequently, the Peso sustained a 63%
nominal depreciation in the period from July 2015 to June 2016. At
June 2016, the exchange rate stands at 14.50 pesos for each
dollar.
At June
2016, Argentina’s country risk decreased by 97 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 518 basis points in June 2016, compared to the 352
paid by Brazil and the 213 paid by Mexico.
Our Segments
Private
consumption continues to be a significant component of economic
activity, although in the past months there has been a slight
deceleration in its growth rate. At June 2016, the Consumer
Confidence Index (CCI) had shown a 22.2% decline as compared to
June 2015, as well as a 1.9% increase as compared to June 2014.
Sales in shopping centers in April 2016 reached a total amount of
Ps. 4,374 million, which represented a 41.4% increase compared to
the same month in 2015. Accumulated sales for the first four months
of the year totaled Ps. 14,586 million and reached a 29.2%
percentage variation compared to the same period the previous
year.
According to
Colliers International, as of June 2016, the A+ and A office
inventory remained stable since the fourth quarter of 2015 at
1,655,954 sqm. In terms of rental availability, there was a 1%
decrease in the vacancy rate to 6.4% during the second quarter of
2016 compared to the same period the previous year. Thus, the
vacancy rate has remained at a stable range between 6% and 8% since
2010. 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 7% for the entire stock, while A+ properties
buildings show a vacancy rate of 5%.
During
the second quarter of 2016, net absorption was negative at 400 sqm,
i.e., more meters than the ones that have been occupied have become
vacant, a situation that was not seen since 2012. This behavior of
demand is mainly explained by the sub-market Zona Norte GBA, which
concentrates most of the spaces that have become vacant. On the
other hand, it is verified that the area that has become vacant in
A+ properties (-2,908 sqm) was mostly absorbed by class A
properties (as it was 2,474 sqm).
During
the second quarter of 2016, rental prices remained steady as
compared to the general average prices seen over the past ten years
(US$ 24.8 per square meter). Compared to the previous quarter, a
2.5% increase was recorded (from US$ 24.1 per square meter to US$
24.7 per square meter). This slight increase shows a 1.4% increase
in rental prices for A+ properties (US$ 27.2 per square meter in
the second quarter against US$ 26.8 per square meter in the first
quarter) and a 2.4% increase in rental prices for A properties (US$
23.4 per square meter in the second quarter against US$ 22.9 per
square meter in the first quarter). The spread between both
categories is US$ 3.8 and reached US$ 12 in low vacancy
periods.
In
turn, the sub-market Catalinas is currently the one with the best
prices in the market. The average value of the properties in such
area amounts to US$ 27.9 per square meter. This value is expected
to increase over the next few months due to the addition of new
towers with prices already over US$ 35 per square meter in the
inventory.
At June
2016, the sub-market Zona Norte GBA shows average rental prices of
US$ 23.3, almost at the same values of June 2015. Moreover, during
the same month, the vacancy rate was 8.9%, compared to 9.5% in June
2015.
E. Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
As of
June 30, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet transactions,

that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our
financial condition, results of operations or

Audit
Committee
In
accordance with the Argentine Capital Markets Law, and the CNV
Rules, our board of directors established an audit committee. The
primary function of our Audit Committee is to assist our board of
directors in performing its duty of exercising due care, diligence
and competence in issues relating to us, specifically in the
enforcement of the accounting policy and in the issuance of
accounting and financial information, the management of business
risk and of internal control systems, the conduct and ethical
soundness of the company’s business, the supervision of the
integrity of our financial statements, the compliance by our
company with the legal provisions, the independence and capability
of the independent auditor and the performance of the internal
audit function of our company and of the external auditors. Also,
the Audit Committee may, at the request of the Board, render an
opinion as to whether transactions between related parties
involving relevant amounts can be reasonably considered adequate
according to normal market conditions. In accordance with the
applicable rules our Audit Committee must hold sessions at least
with the same frequency required to the board of
directors.
The
audit committee may be requested by our board of directors to
report if the conditions of a related party transaction may be
reasonably considered adequate according to normal market
conditions. In accordance with the applicable rules our Audit
Committee must hold sessions at least with the same frequency
required to the board of directors (on a three month
basis).
Capital
Markets Law and the CNV Rules requires that public companies in
Argentina as us must have an Audit Committee comprise of three
members of the board of directors, the majority of which must be
independent. Notwithstanding, our Audit Committee is comprised by
three independent directors in compliance with the requirements of
the SEC.
On
November February 5, 2016, our board of directors appointed Enrique
Antonini, Leonardo Fernández and Marcos Barylka, all of them
independent board members, as members of the audit committee. We
have a fully independent audit committee as per the standard
provided in Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1) of the General rules and regulations
promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
B. Compensation
Members of the Board of Directors
and Executive Committee
The
Argentine Companies Law establishes that if the compensation of the
members of the board of directors is not established in our bylaws,
the shareholders’ meeting should determine it. The maximum
amount of total compensation of the members of the board of
directors, including wages and compensation for technical or
administrative permanent activities, cannot exceed 25% of our
earnings. Such amount should be limited to 5% when there are no
dividends distributions, and will be increased proportionally to
the distribution until reaching the limit of 25% set when all
profits are distributed. In applying this rule any reduction in
dividend distribution from the deduction of Board and Supervisory
Committee compensation shall not be taken into
account.
Nevertheless 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 shareholders meeting may approve
compensation in excess of the above-mentioned limits.
The
compensation of our directors for each fiscal year is determined
pursuant to the Argentine Companies Law, and taking into
consideration if the directors perform technical or administrative
activities and our fiscal year’s results. Once the amounts
are determined, they are considered by the shareholders
meeting.
We do
not enter into employment agreements with our directors. Nor do we
provide stock option plans or any other compensation system for the
board members other than as described above.
At our
annual ordinary shareholders meeting held on October 30, 2015, the
shareholders agreed to pay an aggregate compensation of Ps.76.4
million to the members of the board of directors for the fiscal
year ended June, 2015. At the end of the 2016 fiscal year, these
amounts had been fully paid.
Supervisory Committee
The
shareholders’ meeting held on October 30, 2015, approved by a
majority vote not to pay any compensation to our Supervisory
Committee.
Senior Management
Our
senior managers are paid a fixed amount that is determined on the
basis of their experience, competencies and background. Senior
management is also paid an annual bonus that varies depending on
the performance of each individual and on the results of our
operations.
For the
year ended June 30, 2015, our senior management (including members
of our board of Directors) was paid a total of Ps.14.1
million.
As of
June 30, 2015 we had a total of Ps.14.1 million earmarked as
pension, retirement and/or similar benefits for our directors and
the members of our executive committee, Supervisory Committee and
Audit Committee.
Audit Committee
The
members of the Audit Committee do not receive compensation other
than fees for their services as members of the board of
directors.
Defined Contribution Plan
We have
a defined contribution plan covering our key managers in Argentina.
The Plan became effective on January 1, 2006. Employees may begin
participation voluntarily on monthly enrollment dates. Participants
may make pre-tax contributions to the Plan of up to 2.5% of their
monthly salary (“Base Contributions”) and pre-tax
contributions of up to 15% of their annual bonuses
(“Extraordinary Contributions”). Under the Plan, we
match employee contributions to the plan at a rate of 200% for Base
Contributions and 300% for Extraordinary Contributions.
Contribution expense was Ps.2.3 million, Ps.2.2 million and Ps.1.1
million for the years ended June 30, 2014, June 30, 2013 and June
30, 2012, respectively. Participant contributions are held in trust
as required by law. Individual participants may direct the trustee
to invest their accounts in authorized investment alternatives. Our
contributions are also held in trust. Participants or their
assignees, as the case may be, may have access to the 100% of our
contributions under the following circumstances:
1.
ordinary retirement
in accordance with applicable labor regulations;
2.
total or permanent
incapacity or disability; and
In case
of resignation or unjustified termination, the manager may redeem
the amounts contributed by us only if he or she has participated in
the Plan for at least 5 years.
Incentive Plan for Managers
Our
Shareholders’ Meetings held on October 31, 2011, October 31,
2012, October 31, 2013 and November 14, 2014 ratified the
resolutions approved thereat relating to the incentive plan for the
our executive officers, providing that up to 1% of our
shareholders’ equity by allocating the same number of owned
treasury stock (the “Plan”), and delegated to the board
of directors the broadest powers to fix the price, term, form,
modality, opportunity and other conditions to implement such plan.
Under such framework, and in accordance with the Capital Markets
Law, we made the corresponding filings with the CNV and, pursuant
to comments received from the CNV, we made modifications to the
Plan which, once cleared by the CNV, were explained to and approved
by the shareholders meeting that took place on November 14, 2014,
which in turn, delegated to the board of directors the broadest
powers to administer the Plan.
We have
developed a medium and long term incentive and retention stock
program (the “Stock Program”) for our 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 is
voluntary.
In the
future, the Participants or their successors in interest will have
access to 100% of the benefit (IRSA’s shares contributed by
us) 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 five years have elapsed from the
moment of each contribution;
●
total or permanent
disability;
While
participants are part of the Stock 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.
For
fiscal 2014, the Stock Program provided an extraordinary reward
consisting of freely available stock payable in a single
opportunity on a date to be determined by us. The date was fixed
for June 26, 2015 for our payroll employees and the payroll
employees of PAMSA, ERSA, ARCOS and FIBESA who received
IRSA’s shares.
In
addition, we have decided to grant a bonus to all personnel with
more than two years of seniority and who do not participate in the
Stock Program described above, which bonus consists of a number of
shares equivalent to their compensation for June 2014.
The
shares allocated to the Plan by us are shares purchased in 2009,
which the Shareholders’ Meeting held on October 2011
specifically decided to allocate to the Stock Program.
Compensation
Committee
We do
not have a compensation committee.
C. Board Practices

information about the date of expiration of the current term of
office and the period during which each director has served in such

termination of employment, other than those described under the
following sections: (i) ITEM 6: Directors, Senior Management and
Employees – B. Compensation – Capitalization Plan and
(ii) ITEM 6: Directors, Senior Management and Employees – B.

Audit Committee
In
accordance with Capital Markets Law, and the CNV Rules, our board
of directors established an audit committee. The primary function
of our Audit Committee is to assist our board of directors in
performing its duty of exercising due care, diligence and
competence in issues relating to us, specifically in the
enforcement of the accounting policy and in the issuance of
accounting and financial information, the management of business
risk and of internal control systems, the conduct and ethical
soundness of the company’s business, the supervision of the

company with the legal provisions, the independence and capability
of the independent auditor and the performance of the internal
audit function of our company and of the external auditors. Also,
the Audit Committee may, at the request of the Board, render an
opinion as to whether transactions between related parties
involving relevant amounts can be reasonably considered considered

S.A. and BHN Visa S.A. rent offices owned by us in different
buildings. In addition, we also let various spaces in our Shopping
Centers (stores, stands, storage space or advertising space) to
third parties and related parties such as Tarshop S.A. and Banco
Hipotecario S.A..
Lease
agreement entered into with these related parties include clauses
and values in line with those agreed upon with unrelated
parties.
Agreement
for the Exchange of Corporate Services with Cresud and
IRSA
Considering that
each of IRSA, Cresud and us have operating areas which are somewhat
similar, the Board of Directors deemed it advisable to implement
alternatives aimed at reducing certain fixed costs of our combined
activities and to lessen their impact on 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 (“Frame Agreement") was entered into
between IRSA, Cresud and us, which was amended several times to
bring it in line with evolving requirements. The agreement has a
term of 24 months, is renewable automatically for equal periods,
unless it is terminated by any of the parties upon prior
notice.
This
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 this
agreement, the companies hired an external consulting firm to
review and evaluate half-yearly 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 and Cresud to keep our
strategic and commercial decisions fully independent and
confidential, with cost and profit apportionment being allocated on
the basis of operating efficiency and equity, without pursuing
individual economic benefits for any of the related
companies.
Special
reimbursement with different payment methods
We and
our related parties undertake different commercial actions and
promotions intended to promote the influx and consumption of the
public in our shopping centers.
Certain
promotions are offered on specific dates or periods, different
types of discounts to clients and/or interest-free financing plans.
We and our related parties entered into agreements with different
financial entities and/or related parties, such as Banco
Hipotecario S.A. and Tarshop S.A.
These
agreements generally establish different reimbursement rates for
costumers that purchase in all the shops that are part of the
network using the payment methods specified by each financial
entity and, in certain circumstances, additional financing plans
with zero interest rates. The costs of the reimbursements given to
the customers generally are distributed proportionally among the
tenants of the shops and the financial entities, while the cost of
the financing at zero interest rate is assumed by the financial
entities. We and our related parties act as intermediaries,
ensuring that the tenants adhere to the plan and advertising of
these promotions. These activities do not generate any cash or
transfer of income or cost between us and our related
parties.
Hospitality
Services
We and
our related parties hire, in certain occasions, hotel services and
lease conference rooms for events to Nuevas Fronteras S.A., Hoteles
Argentinos S.A. and Llao Llao Resorts S.A., subsidiaries of
IRSA.

Legal or Arbitration Proceedings
Arcos del Gourmet
In December 2011,
we started to develop, through our subsidiary Arcos, the
“Arcos” project located in the neighborhood of Palermo,
City of Buenos Aires. On December 10, 2013, Administrative and Tax
Contentious Court of Appeal of the City of Buenos Aires ratified an
injunction that suspends the opening of the shopping center on the
grounds that it has failed to obtain certain government permits.
Despite the fact that the construction has all government permits
in place, we have filed an appeal against the decision and have
requested that the injunction be lifted, with favorable
expectations. In such sense, on April 10, 2014, the government of
the City of Buenos Aires issued a new environmental compliance
certificate. We obtained a successful decision based on procedural
matters. As a result of this decision, the lawsuit was
rejected.
On the
other hand, there is another judicial process currently being heard
entitled “Federación de Comercio e Industria de la
Ciudad de Buenos Aires y Otros c/ Gobierno de la Ciudad
Autónoma de Buenos Aires s/ Amparo”. On August 29, 2014
the lower court rendered a decision rejecting the case.This
resolution was appealed but afterwards, confirmed in December,
2014. Therefore, on December 18th, 2014, the “Arcos”
Project was opened to the public, operating normally nowadays.
Notwithstanding, the plaintiff appeared before the Superior Court
of the City of Buenos Aires to request the review of the case based
on the constitutional’s matters involved. The Court has not
rendered a decision yet.
Moreover, on May
18th, 2015 we were notified of the revocation of the Agreement for
the Reorganization for Use and Exploitation Nº AF000261
(“Contrato de
Readecuación de Concesión de Uso y Explotación
NºAF000261” issued by the Agency for the
Management of the State Assets (“Agencia de Administración de Bienes del
Estado” or “AABE”) through Resolution
Nº 170/2014. This Resolution was not enacted due to breach of
contract by Arcos del Gourmet nor it has implied up to the date of
this annual report the interruption of the economic exploitation
neither of the functioning of the shopping center that we operate
there. We have filed the proper administrative and judicial motions
to revoke the Resolution and as of the date of this annual report
these proceedings are ongoing.
Other Litigation
On
December 3, 2009, we filed a request with the Argentine Antitrust
Authority’s opinion regarding our acquisition of common
shares of Arcos del Gourmet. The Argentine Antitrust Authority
advised the parties that the transaction had to be filed with the
Antitrust Authority. The transaction approval request was thus
filed on December, 2010. As of the date of this annual report, the
Argentine Antitrust Authority has not granted such
approval.
On
April 11, 2011, Quality Invest requested the Argentine Antitrust
Authority’s opinion regarding the acquisition by Quality
Invest of an industrial plant owned by Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y
F. located in San Martín, Province of Buenos Aires. The
Argentine Antitrust Authority stated that there was an obligation
to notify the situation, but Quality filed an appeal against this
decision. Subsequently, the Court of Appeals confirmed the
Antitrust Authorities' decision regarding the obligation to notify.
Therefore, on February 23, 2012, the transaction was filed and on
March 8, 2016 the transaction was authorized by the Antitrust
Authorities.
On
December 7, 2012, we have notified the Argentine Antitrust
Authority of the acquisition of 50% of the common shares of EHSA, a
company which holds 50% of the common shares of La Rural, which
operates a convention center (Predio Ferial de Palermo); as of the
date of this Annual Report the transaction is being analyzed by the
Argentine Antitrust Authority.
For
more 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.”
Dividend Policy
Pursuant to
Argentine law, the distribution and payment of dividends to
shareholders is only valid if they result from realized and net
earnings of the Company pursuant to annual financial statements
approved by the shareholders. 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 shares entitled
to vote at the meeting.
Pursuant to the
Argentine law and our by-laws, net and realized profits for each
fiscal year are allocated as follows:
●
5%
of such net profits is allocated to our legal reserve, until such
reserve amounts to 20% of our capital stock;
●
a
certain amount determined at a shareholders’ meeting is
allocated to the compensation of our directors and the members of
our Supervisory Committee; and
●
additional
amounts are allocated to the payment of dividends, optional
reserve, or to set up reserves for any other purpose as determined
by our shareholders.
According to rules
issued by the CNV, cash dividends must be paid to shareholders
within 30 days of the resolution approving their distribution. In
the case of stock dividends, the common shares must be delivered to
shareholders within three months of the annual ordinary
shareholders’ meeting that approved them.
The
following table illustrates the ratio between the amounts paid as
dividends and the total amount paid as dividends on each fully
paid-in share for the fiscal years mentioned. The amounts stated in
Pesos correspond to nominal Pesos on their respective dates of
payment. See “Local Exchange Market and Exchange
Rates”:

Due to the aggregate ownership of approximately 94.61% as of June
30, 2016 by our principal shareholder, the liquidity of our common
shares is restricted and may frequently cause our stock not to be
traded daily.

C. Markets
Argentine
Securities Markets
In
December 2012 the Argentine government has enacted a new Capital
Markets Law, which sets out the rules to govern capital markets,
its players, and the securities traded therein subject to the CNV
regulation and monitoring.
On
September 5, 2013, the CNV has enacted the CNV Rules, by virtue of
which it regulates the new provisions of the Capital Markets Law
for issuers of securities, in regard to the initial public offering
and reporting duties.
Almost
all the provisions of the former Decree No. 677/2011 (the
“Transparency Decree”) have been incorporated in the
Capital Markets Law and in the CNV Rules. The Capital Markets Law
provides rules and provisions guided by the following goals and
principles:
● Promoting the
participation of small investors, union associations, industry
groups and trade associations, professional associations and all
public savings entities in the capital market, particularly
encouraging mechanisms designed to promote domestic savings and
channel such funds towards the development of
production;
● Strengthening
mechanisms for the protection of and prevention of abuses against
small investors for the protection of consumers’
rights;
● Promoting access
of small and medium-sized companies to the capital
market;
● Fostering the
creation of a federally integrated capital market through
mechanisms designed to achieve an interconnection of computer
systems from different trading markets, with the use of
state-of-the-art technology; and
● Encouraging
simpler trading procedures available to users to attain greater
liquidity and competitiveness in order to provide the most
favorable conditions for the implementation of
transactions.
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 is maintained through the Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas
Públicas (Ministry of Economy and Public Finance),
which shall hear 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 the
issuer’s assets, operating history and management. Only
securities approved for a public offering by the CNV may be listed
on a stock exchange. However, CNV approval does not imply any kind
of certification as to the quality of the securities or the
solvency of the issuer, even though issuers of listed securities
are required to file unaudited quarterly financial statements and
audited annual financial statements 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, as well as
to 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, 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 the BCBA, the MVBA and certain provincial exchange, and
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 securities exchanges in Argentina, which were located in
the City of Buenos Aires, Bahía Blanca, Chaco, Corrientes,
Córdoba, La Plata, La Rioja, Mendoza, Rosario, Salta, Santa
Fe, and Tucumán. Six of these exchanges (the BASE, Rosario,
Córdoba, La Rioja, Mendoza, and Santa Fe) had affiliated stock
markets in accordance with the requirements of Law No. 17,811 which
was derogated by the Capital Markets Law.
Pursuant to the
Capital Markets Law, the CNV has authorized six stock markets since
September 2014, which are: Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A.
(“MAE”), Mercado a Término de Buenos Aires S.A.,
Mercado a Término de Rosario S.A., MVBA., Mercado de Valores
de Córdoba S.A. y Mercado Argentino de Valores
S.A.
The
principal exchange for the Argentine securities market under the
previous legislation was the BCBA. Under the new Capital Markets
Law the BCBA has been authorized to operate as qualified entity,
under the appointment of the MVBA. As a result of the foregoing,
the MVBA is currently the principal exchange market in Argentina in
which the securities are listed.
The
MVBA is a corporation consisting of 183 shareholders who used to be
the sole and exclusive individuals or entities authorized to trade
in the MVBA, either as principals or agents, before Capital Markets
Law became into force. Since then, all agents registered and
authorized to act as intermediaries by the CNV will be able to
trade in any securities exchange, including the BCBA as long as
they obtain a membership of such stock exchange, not applying any
longer the requirements to be a shareholder of such stock
exchange.
The
securities that may be listed on the MVBA are: stocks, corporate
bonds, convertible corporate bonds, close-ended investment funds,
financial trust, indexes, derivatives and public bonds. The MVBA is
legally qualified for admission, suspension, and delisting of
securities according to its own rules approved by the
CNV.
Another
relevant exchange of the securities market in Argentina is the MAE,
which was recently authorized to operate by the CNV under the new
regulations. The MAE works as an electronic platform to process
Over the Counter transactions. It is an electronic exchange where
both government securities and corporate bonds are traded through
spot and forward contracts. MAE brokers/dealers members, 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 or foreign capital
banks and financial institutions may be the MAE’s
brokers/dealers. Securities to be traded must be registered with
the pertinent supervising authorities and may be traded in the MAE,
in other exchanges or in 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.

During the month of June.
Although
companies may list all of their capital stock on the MVBA, in many
cases a controlling block is retained by the principal shareholders
resulting in only a relatively small percentage of many
companies’ stock being available for active trading by the
public on the MVBA. As of June 30, 2016, approximately 100
companies had equity securities listed on the MVBA. The Argentine
securities markets are substantially more volatile than the
securities markets in the United States and certain other developed
countries. The MVBA Index experienced a 30.1% decrease in 2011, a
15.9% increase in 2012, a 88.9% increase in 2013, a 59.1% increase
in 2014, a 36.1% increase in 2015 and a 25.8% increase during the
six months of 2016. In order to control price volatility, the MVBA
operates a system pursuant to which the negotiation of a particular
stock or debt security is suspended for a 15 minute period when the
price of the security registers a variation on its price between
10% and 15% and between 15% and 20%. Any additional 5% variation on
the price of the security after that results in additional 10
minute successive suspension periods.

Board of Directors
Voting of proposals in which Directors have material
interest
Capital
Markets Law establishes in Section 78, that the directors, and
members of the supervisory committee of those companies whose
securities are publicly offered, shall act in a loyal and diligent
manner when exercising their functions. In that sense the
aforementioned persons must follow the following
rules:
●
shall
not be allowed to make use of any corporate assets or confidential
information for his/her own private purposes;
●
shall
not be allowed to profit or permit a third party to profit, whether
by an action or an omission to act, from any business opportunities
available to the company;
●
shall
be required to exercise any powers conferred to them solely for the
purposes for which they were conferred under the law or the
corporate bylaws or by a shareholders’ meeting or the board
of directors; and
●
shall
be required to meticulously ensure that no conflict of interest,
whether direct or indirect, shall under any circumstances arise
between his/her actions and the company’s
interests.
In case
of doubt as to a director’s compliance with his/her duty of
loyalty, the burden of proof shall be borne by such
person.
The
Argentine Corporations Law No. 19,550 establishes in Section 271
that directors may enter into agreements with the company, that
concern the business in which the company engages, always provided
that they are entered into under market conditions. The agreements
that do not fulfill the requirements mentioned above may only be
executed with the prior approval of the board of
directors.
Furthermore, the
Capital Markets Law in Section 72 states for companies authorized
in the public offer regime, that any acts performed or contracts
executed between the company and a related party and involving a
significant amount shall be performed or executed pursuant to the
procedure set forth below:
a)
|
A
“related party” shall mean any of the following persons
with respect to the issuer:
|
i)
|
Directors,
members of the supervisory body or surveillance committee, as well
as chief executive officers or special managers of the issuing
company appointed under section 270 of Argentine Companies Law No.
19,550;
|
ii)
Natural persons or
legal entities controlling or holding a substantial interest, as
determined by the CNV, in the capital stock of the issuer or the
issuer’s controlling entity;
iii)
Any
other company under the common control of the same controlling
entity;
iv)
The
ascendants, descendants, spouses or siblings of any of the natural
persons referred to in paragraphs i) and ii) above;
and
v)
Companies in which
any of the persons referred to in paragraphs i) to iv) above hold a
significant direct or indirect interest. Provided none of the
circumstances described above is present, a subsidiary of the
issuer shall not be deemed a “related
party”.
b)
A
“significant amount” shall be deemed involved in an act
or contract when such amount exceeds 1% of the company’s
shareholders’ equity as shown in the most recently approved
balance sheet.
The
board of directors or any members thereof shall request the audit
committee to state whether in its opinion the terms of a
transaction may be reasonably deemed adapted to regular and usual
market conditions. The audit committee shall issue its
pronouncement within 5 business days.
Notwithstanding the
above inquiry from the audit committee, a resolution may be adopted
by the company on the basis of a report from 2 independent
evaluation companies, which shall express their opinion on the same
matter and other terms of the transaction.
Nevertheless that,
Section 272 of the Corporations Law provides that when a director
has an opposite interest to the one of the company, he or she
should notify that situation to the board of directors and the
supervisory committee and abstain to vote in that respect. The
violation of this provision results in the director being jointly
and severally unlimitedly liable.
Approval of compensation of Directors and Supervisory
Committee
Our
bylaws do not establish the compensation to be paid to members of
the Board of Directors and the supervisory committee, and therefore
pursuant to Section 261 of the Corporations Law, it should be
approved by the majority of shareholders. The maximum amount that
may be paid as compensation to members of the Board of Directors
and the supervisory committee should not exceed 25% of the realized
and net earnings of the company and 5% when there is no
distribution of dividends. If the company does not distribute the
total earnings, the amount of the
compensation should
be proportional to that distribution and within the mentioned
limits. These limits may only be surpassed by express approval of
majority of the shareholders.
Borrowing powers of Directors
Our
bylaws establish, in Section 17, that the board of directors has
full and broad powers to organize, manage and direct us, aimed at
fulfilling the corporate purpose.
In case
one of our directors borrowed from us, the matter would be subject
to the requirements described above for transactions in which
directors have material interest.
Retirement of Directors and ownership of common shares
requirement
Our
bylaws do not establish any requirements or provisions regarding
age limits for directors’ retirement nor do they require
ownership of a certain number of common shares in order to be
eligible for appointment as director.
Meetings of the Board of Directors
The
Board of Directors can celebrate their meetings using
teleconference technology. An absolute majority of the directors
will constitute the quorum. Only the directors physically present
at the time and those using teleconference technologies will be
taken into consideration for the quorum. The resolutions of the
Board of Directors will be passed by the vote of the majority of
the directors physically present at the meeting and those using
teleconference technologies.
Rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to the common
shares
Dividend rights
The
Corporations 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
financial statements approved by the shareholders. The approval,
amount and payment of dividends is subject to the approval of our
annual ordinary shareholders meeting of the company. That approval
requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the present votes
with right to vote at the meeting.
Pursuant to the
Corporations Law and Section 28 of our bylaws, liquid and realized
profits of each fiscal year shall be distributed as
follows:
|
●
|
allocate
5% of such net profits to legal reserve, until the amount of such
reserve equals 20% of the capital stock;
|
|
●
|
the sum
established by the shareholders’ meeting as remuneration of
the of Directors and the supervisory committee;
|
|
●
|
dividends,
additional dividends to preferred shares if any, or to optional
reserve funds or contingency reserves or to a new account, or for
whatever purpose the shareholders’ meeting
determines.
|
Dividends are paid
pro rata according to the
interests held by shareholders within thirty days after approval
and the right to collection expires upon the expiration of a term
of three years since 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
that 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, 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.
Voting rights and Staggered Elections
Our
stock capital is composed by book-entry common shares with face
value of Ps. 0.1 per share and entitled to one vote
each.
|
●
|
All
directors and alternate directors are elected for a three-year
term.
|
|
●
|
Our
bylaws do not establish staggered elections.
|
Rights to share in our profits
The
holders of our common shares have the right to participate in our
net and realized profits on a pro
rata basis of their respective interests.
Surplus rights to share in the event of liquidation
Section
29 of our bylaws determine that, in the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up, our assets (i) will be applied to
satisfy liabilities and (ii) will be proportionally distributed
among holders of preferred stock if there are any and in accordance
with the terms of the preferred stock. If any surplus remains, the
holders of common shares are entitled to receive and share on a pro
rata basis in all net assets remaining for
distribution.
Procedure to change the rights of stockholders
The
rights of stockholders are established in the Corporations Law and
in the bylaws. The rights of shareholders provided for by the
Corporations Law may not be diminished by the bylaws. Section 235
of the Law of Corporations No. 19,550 establishes that the
amendment of the bylaws should be approved by shareholders in an
extraordinary shareholders meeting.
Ordinary and extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting
General
Shareholders’
meetings may be ordinary or extraordinary. We are required to hold
an ordinary shareholders’ meeting within four months of the
close of each fiscal year to approve our financial statements, the
allocation of net income for the fiscal year, the approval of the
reports of the Board of Directors and the audit committee and the
election and remuneration of directors and members of the audit
committee. Other matters which may be considered at an ordinary
meeting include the responsibility of directors and members of the
audit committee, capital increases and the issuance of certain
corporate bonds. Extraordinary shareholders’ meetings may be
called at any time to consider matters beyond the
scope
of an ordinary meeting, including amendment of the bylaws, issuance
of debentures, early dissolution, merger, spin-off, reduction of
capital stock and redemption of shares, changing the limiting or
extending the shareholders liability by changing our corporate
legal status and limitation of shareholders preemptive
rights.
Notices
Notice
of shareholders’ meetings must be published for five days in
the Official Gazette of the Republic of Argentina, in an Argentine
newspaper of wide circulation and in the publications of Argentine
exchanges or securities markets in which our common shares are
traded, at least ten days prior to the date on which the meeting is
to be held as per Argentine Corporation Law, and at least 20 days
prior to the meeting as per Capital Markets Law. The notice must
include information regarding the type of meeting to be held, the
date, time and place of the meeting and the agenda. If there is no
quorum at the meeting, notice for a meeting on second call must be
published for three days, at least eight days before the date of
the second meeting, and must be held within 30 days of the date for
which the first meeting was called. The first call and second call
notices may be sent simultaneously in order for the meeting on
second call to be held on the same day as the meeting on first
call, but only in the case of ordinary shareholders’
meetings. Shareholders’ meetings may be validly held with at
least 10 days prior notice in the publications of Argentine
exchanges or securities markets in which our common shares are
traded if all common shares of our outstanding capital stock are
present and resolutions are adopted by unanimous vote.
The
Board of Directors will determine appropriate publications for
notice outside Argentina in accordance with requirements of
jurisdictions and exchanges where our common shares are
traded.
Quorum and Voting Requirements
The
quorum for ordinary meetings of shareholders on first call is a
majority of the common shares entitled to vote, and action may be
taken by the affirmative vote of an absolute majority of the common
shares present that are entitled to vote on such action. If a
quorum is not available, a second call meeting may be held at which
action may be taken by the holders of an absolute majority of the
common shares present, regardless of the number of such common
shares. The quorum for an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting
on first call is sixty percent of the common shares entitled to
vote, and if such quorum is not available, a second call meeting
may be held, for which there are no quorum
requirements.
Action
may be taken at extraordinary shareholders’ meetings by the
affirmative vote of an absolute majority of common shares present
that are entitled to vote on such action, except that the approval
of a majority of common shares with voting rights, without
application of multiple votes, is required in both first and second
call for: (i) the transfer of our domicile outside Argentina, (ii)
a fundamental change of the corporate purpose set forth in the
bylaws, (iii) our anticipated dissolution, (iv) the total or
partial repayment of capital, (v) a merger of our company, if we
are not the surviving entity, (vi) a spin-off of our company, or
(vii) changing our corporate legal status.
Shareholders’
meetings may be called by the Board of Directors or the members of
the statutory audit committee whenever required by law or whenever
they deem it necessary. Also, the board or the members of the
statutory audit committee are required to call shareholders’
meetings upon the request of shareholders representing an aggregate
of at least five percent of our outstanding capital stock. If the
board or the statutory audit committee fails to call a meeting
following this request, a meeting may be ordered by the CNV or by the courts. In order to
attend a meeting, a shareholder must deposit with us a certificate
of book-entry shares registered in his name and issued by Caja de
Valores at least three business days prior to the date on which the
meeting is to be held. A shareholder may be represented by proxy.
Proxies may not be granted to directors, members of the audit
committee or officers or employees of our company.
No Limitations on ownership of securities
There
are no legal limitations to own our securities or exercise voting
rights for residents, non-resident or foreign
shareholders.
Ownership threshold above which ownership should
be disclosed
The CNV
Rules requires that transactions, which cause a person’s
holdings of capital stock of a registered Argentine company, to
equal or exceed 5% 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 offered, should notify the CNV on a monthly basis, of their
beneficial ownership of common shares, debt securities, and call
and put options related to securities of such companies and their
controlling, controlled or affiliated companies.
Furthermore, the
CNV must be immediately notified of transactions which cause a
person’s holdings of capital stock of an Argentine company
whose securities are publicly offered to equal or exceed 5% of the
voting power and every change in the holdings that represents a
multiple of 5% of the voting power. Holders of more than 50% of the
common shares or who otherwise control decision making in
shareholders’ meetings, as well as directors, officers and
members of the supervisory committee must provide the CNV with annual reports of their
holdings in the capital stock of such companies and monthly reports
of any change in their holdings.

D. Exchange
Controls
Foreign Currency Regulation
Under
Decree No. 260/2002, the Argentine government had set up an
exchange market through which all foreign currency exchange
transactions are made. Such transactions were subject to the
regulations and requirements imposed by the Argentine 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, 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.
Outflow
and Inflow of Capital
Inflow of capital
Under
Argentine Foreign Investment Law No. 21,382, as amended, and the
wording restated under Executive Branch Decree No. 1853/1993, the
purchase of stock of an Argentine company by an individual or legal
entity domiciled abroad or by an Argentine “foreign
capital” company (as defined under the Foreign Investment
Law) represents a foreign investment.
Under
Decree No. 616/2005, as amended by Decree No. 3/2015, the Argentine
government softened certain restrictions on the inflow and outflow
of foreign currency into and from the Argentine exchange market,
including that inflowing new indebtedness and debt renewals by
persons domiciled abroad must be agreed and cancelled within
periods not shorter than 120 calendar days –instead of the
365 day-period as originally established-, irrespective of the
method of payment. Additionally, such debt may not be prepaid
before the lapse of such period. Such restrictions do not apply to
(i) foreign trade financing, or (ii) primary public offering of
equity or debt instruments issued under the public offering
procedure and listed on self-regulated markets.
Obligation for the settlement of funds through the
MULC
General rules. Exports.
Pursuant to Decree
No. 1606/2011 and Communications “A” 3602 and

MULC.
Within
365 running days as of the date of the disbursement of the funds
abroad, corresponding to the payment of exportation of goods,
advance payments of exports and pre financing loans for exports,
such funds must be settled through the MULC. Such funds shall be
credited in a local bank account duly opened in favor of the
client, which may be either in Pesos or in another
currency.
Services
Communication
“A” 5264 set forth that the payments in foreign
currency received by residents for the export of services and
payment of losses for insurance policies hired with nonresidents
under the applicable rules must be settled through the MULC within
365 running days as of its collection abroad or locally or its
deposit in foreign bank accounts.
Such
funds are exempted to be settled through the MULC to the extent
such exemption is actually contemplated in the foreign exchange
regulations and such amounts are applied for the cancellation of
foreign financial indebtedness.
Outflow of capital, including the availability of cash or cash
equivalents
Exchange Transactions Inquiry Program
Communication
“A” 5850, of December 2015, revoke Communication
“A” 5245 that regulated an Exchange Transaction Inquiry
Program established on October 28, 2011, by the Federal
Administration of Public Revenues (Administración Federal de Ingresos
Públicos, or “AFIP”) through which the
entities authorized by the Central Bank to deal in foreign exchange
were supposed to inquire and register through an IT system the
total Peso amount of each exchange transaction at the moment it is
closed.
Financial Indebtedness
Any
transactions arising from financial indebtedness of the financial
sector, private non-financial sector and local governments are no
longer subject to be settled in the foreign exchange market.
However, if settled in the foreign exchange market, then according
to Decree No. 616/2005 and 3/2015, these cannot be set off before
the minimum term of stay, which is 120 running days (except for
bonds listed in the authorized exchange stock
markets).
Formation of off-shore assets by residents with and without
subsequent allocation to specific purposes
Under
Communication “A” 5850, 5899 and 6037 of the Central
Bank, residents shall have access to the local exchange market
without prior authorization of the Central Bank in order to

Communication “A” 5264, amended by Communication
“A” 5377 (issued on December 14, 2012) and
Communication “A” 6037, there are no limits or
restrictions applicable for residents who access the foreign
exchange market to pay services, debts and profits to
non-residents. 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.
The
payments of profits and dividends to non-residents or holders of
our ADRs are authorized, insofar as such payments are made
according to financial statements duly audited and approved at our
annual meeting of shareholders’.
Payment of foreign financial indebtedness
Access
to the exchange market is allowed for payments of principal amounts
due.
In
general terms, access to MULC for payment of principal, interest
and prepayment of financial indebtedness incurred by Argentine
residents in the private non-financial sector and financial sector
are allowed subject to regulations set forth by Communications
“A” 6037, of August 8, 2016.
Pursuant to
Communication “A” 6037, no settlement in the local
exchange market is required for the repayment of principal and
interests, as long as it has been verified that the reporting
system has been complied with in accordance with Communication
“A” 3602. Additionally, the payment may only proceed if
the funds disbursed remain in Argentina for at least 120 calendar
days, in accordance with Decree No. 616/2005.
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.
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 regarding the exchange regulations applicable in
Argentina, investors should consult their professional advisers and
read the full text of Decree No. 616/2005, and Communication
“A” 6037 of the Central Bank. Interested parties may
consult such regulations through the website of the Ministry of
Economy and Public Finance (http://www.infoleg.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 and 26,683,
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 from such 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.
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 Argentine 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.
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.
E.
Taxation
United States Taxation
The
following summary describes the material United States federal
income tax consequences of the ownership of 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 the 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 dealer in
securities or currencies;
●
a financial
institution;
●
a regulated
investment company;
●
a real estate
investment trust;
●
a tax exempt
organization;
●
a person holding
the 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 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 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.
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 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 the 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, if any) 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 common 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
common shares or ADSs, 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. Capital
gains of individuals derived with respect to capital assets held
for more than one year 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.
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, 2016, 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 certain
trading, 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 Buenos Aires Stock Exchange. Consequently, the
Buenos Aires Stock Exchange 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.
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
United States 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 a common share or ADS 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 other 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
business establishment in Argentina owned by 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 annual report, 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 dividend distributions and gains derived from transfers
of common 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 common 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
Until
Law No. 26,893 became effective, dividends, whether in cash, in
common shares or in kind, approved by our shareholders were not
subject to income tax withholding except for the application of the
“Equalization Tax” described below.
From
the effectiveness of Law No. 26,893, dividends are subject to an
income tax withholding (the “Dividend Tax”) at a 10%
rate on the amount of such dividends in respect of both Argentine
and non-Argentine resident shareholders. The “Dividend
Tax” has been repealed by Law No. 27,260 for dividend
payments since July 22, 2016.
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.
Dividend
distributions made in kind (other than cash) will be subject to the
same tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends on fully paid
common 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 common 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 common 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 from the sale of common
shares and other securities are subject to income tax at a 15% rate
on net income, 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 common
shares are subject to income tax, as the abovementioned exemption
for common shares is not applicable to non-Argentine beneficiaries.
Therefore, the gain derived from the disposition of common 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. However there is currently no
regulation under Argentine law with respect to how this election is
made. When both the seller and the 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. However,
as of the date of this annual report, no regulations have been
issued stipulating the withholding and payment mechanism that the
non-resident buyer should follow. 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 common shares or ADSs are subject to income tax at
the rate of 35%.
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.
WE
RECOMMEND PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR
REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES CONCERNING THE SALE OR
OTHER DISPOSITIONS OF COMMON SHARES AND ADSs.
Value Added Tax
The
sale, exchange, disposition, or transfer of common shares or ADSs
is not subject to Value Added Tax.
Personal Assets Tax
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 for
fiscal year 2016 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 2015. 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 Mínima
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 customary purchase and sale, exchange or other
disposition of common shares and 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 common shares which public offering is authorised by
Comisión Nacional de Valores 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.
Treaties to Avoid Double Taxation
Argentina has
entered into treaties to avoid double taxation with several
countries. There is currently no tax treaty or convention in effect
between Argentina and the United States.

In the
normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk,

changes in exchange rates and interest rates. We manage our
exposure to these risks through the use of various financial
instruments, none of which are entered into for trading purposes.
We have established policies and procedures governing the use of
financial instruments, specifically as they relate to the type
and volume of such financial instruments. For further information

D. American Depositary Shares
The
Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary for the ADSs (the
“Depositary”) collects its fees for delivery directly
from investors depositing common 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).
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 us from time to time. The Depositary shall present
its statement for such charges and expenses to us 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 common 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
common shares generally on the share register of the Company or
foreign registrar and applicable to transfers of common 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 cash distribution 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.

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 Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (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, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. In connection with the preparation of this
Annual Report on Form 20-F, we carried out an evaluation under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief
Administrative Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30,
2016. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of fiscal year
2016.
B.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
The
management of IRSA Commercial Properties 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 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 applicable generally accepted accounting
principles.
Management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of June 30, 2016. 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 assessment
and the criteria set forth in Internal Control–Integrated
Framework, management concluded that, as of the end of fiscal year
2016, our internal control over the financial reporting was
effective.
C.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting
Firm
The
effectiveness of the Company´s internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2016, 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
included herein. See “Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm”.
D. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
During
the period covered by this annual report, there were no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 16.
A. Audit Committee Financial Expert
In our
annual ordinary shareholders’ meeting held on October 31,
2003, our audit committee´s plan was unanimously approved.
Pursuant to this plan, our Board of Directors shall appoint the
members of our audit committee. The Audit Committee focuses on
assisting the Board in exercising its duty of care, the enforcement
of accounting policies, disclosure requirements, the management of
our business risk, the management of our internal control systems,
the ethical conduct of the company’s business, maintenance of
the integrity of our financial statements, compliance with legal
provisions, the independence and capability of our independent
auditors and the performance of our internal audit function and of
our external auditors. Also, our board of directors may request the
audit committee to render its opinion on the conditions of a
related party transactions and if it´s considered adequate
according to normal market conditions.
On
February 5, 2016, our board of directors officially appointed
Leonardo Fernández, Enrique Antonini and Marcos Barylka, all
of them whom are independent members, as members of the audit
committee in accordance with Rule 10(A)-3(b)(1) of the General
rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. We have a fully independent audit committee as per the
standard provided in Rule 10(A)-3(b) (1). Although all of them have
significant corporate experience, as of the date of this annual
report, the Board of Directors has not named a financial expert in
accordance with the relevant SEC rules. Argentine law does not
require companies to identify or designate a financial expert. As
such, the Board of Directors has not designated a financial expert
on the audit committee. We believe the designation of a financial
expert is not necessary because all members of the audit committee
have had significant corporate experience, with exposure to various
financial and accounting matters.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Our
audit committee approves, in advance, the engagement of auditors
and their fees for audit and non-audit services pursuant to
paragraph (c) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation
S-X.
Our
Audit Committee pre-approves all services, fees and services
provided by the external auditors to ensure the auditors’
independence. One of the main tasks of the Audit Committee is to
give its opinion in relation to the appointment of the external
auditors, proposed by the Board of Directors to the General
Shareholder’s Meeting. In order to accomplish such task, the
Audit Committee shall:
·
|
Require
any additional and complementary documentation related to this
analysis.
|
·
|
Verify
the independence of the external auditors;
|
·
|
Analyze
different kinds of services that the external auditor would provide
to the company. This description must also include an estimate of
the fees payable for such services, specifically in order to
maintain the principle of independence;
|
·
|
Inform
the fees billed by the external auditor, separating the audit
services and other special services that could be not included in
the audit services previously mentioned.
|
·
|
Take
notice of any strategy proposed by of the external auditors and
review it in accordance with the reality of other businesses and
the risks involved;
|
·
|
Analyze
and supervise the working plan of the external auditors considering
the business’ reality and the estimated risks;
|
·
|
Propose
adjustments (if necessary) to such working plan;
|
·
|
Hold
meetings with the external auditors in order to: (a) analyze the
difficulties, results and conclusions of the proposed working plan;
(b) analyze eventual possible conflicts of interests, related party
transactions, compliance with the legal framework and information
transparency;
|
·
|
Evaluate
the performance of external auditors and their opinion regarding
the Financial Statements.

B. Code of
Ethics
We have
adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers
and employees. Our code of ethics is posted in our website
www.irsacp.com.ar.
On July 25, 2005, our Code of Ethics was amended by our board of
directors. The amendment was disclosed in a report on Form 6-K
filed with the SEC on August 1, 2005.
If we
make any substantive amendment to our code of ethics or grant any
waivers, including any implicit waiver to any of its provisions, we
will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a report on
Form 6-K or in our next annual report and we will post it on our
website.
C.
Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Audit Fees
During
fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we were billed for a
total amount of Ps. 5.4 million and Ps. 3.1 million, respectively,
for professional services rendered by our principal accountants for
the audit of our annual financial statements and other services
normally provided in connection with regulatory filings or
engagements, such as the review of our interim financial

Audit-Related Fees
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, no such audit-related
services were provided.
Tax Fees

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 Business Companies Law, the
Capital Markets Law and the Standards of the Comisión Nacional de Valores, as
well as by our bylaws. We have securities that are registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and are listed on the NASDAQ
Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”), and is 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:

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 make public an annual report in Spanish,
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 its securities are listed, within 70 calendar days of the end
of the company’s fiscal year. Interim reports must be filed
with the CNV and the
Stock exchange in which its securities are listed within 42
calendar days of the end of each fiscal quarter. Our shareholders
can receive copies of annual reports and any interim reports upon
such shareholders’ request. English language translations of
our annual reports and interim reports are furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We also post the English
language translation of our annual reports and quarterly press
releases on its website. Furthermore, under the terms of the
Deposit Agreement, dated November 10, 2000, among us, The Bank of
New York, as depositary, and owners of ADS issued thereunder, we
are required to furnish The Bank of New York 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 4605(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 the legality of our actions under
Argentine law and the conformity thereof with its
by-laws.
|
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’s
charter.
|
|
|
|
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,
Argentine law 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 rules on the
audit committee. 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 the vote is guaranteed. The
audit 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 may be 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 the meeting
registry, shareholders are required to submit evidence of their
book-entry share account held at Caja de Valores 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 our interests. 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
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial position and the related consolidated statements of
comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders´ equity and
of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. and its
subsidiaries at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended June 30, 2016 in conformity with International
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting as of June 30, 2016, 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, 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 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.
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.

share data and as otherwise indicated)
1.
Group´s
business and general information
IRSA
PROPIEDADES COMERCIALES S.A. (formerly Alto Palermo S.A.,
“IRSA Propiedades Comerciales” or “the
Company”) is an Argentine real estate company mainly engaged
in holding, leasing, managing, developing, operating and acquiring
shopping malls and office buildings and holds a predominant
position within the argentine market. IRSA Propiedades Comerciales
was incorporated in 1889 under the name SAMAP and until 1984
operated the major fresh foodstuff market in the Autonomous City of
Buenos Aires. The core asset was the historical building of Mercado
de Abasto, which served as seat of the market from 1889 until 1984,
when a sizable part of its operations was interrupted.
Since
the Company was acquired by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones
Sociedad Anónima (hereinafter, IRSA) in 1994, it have been
growing through a series of acquisitions and development projects
that resulted in a corporate reorganization giving rise to the
previous organizational structure and company name Alto Palermo
S.A..

December 22, 2014, the Company acquired from IRSA, 83,789 square
meters of its premium office portfolio including the buildings
República, Bouchard 710, Della Paolera 265, Intercontinental
Plaza and Suipacha 652 and the “Intercontinental II”
plot of land in order to consolidate a vehicle which main corporate
purpose is to develop and operate commercial properties in
Argentina. Furthermore, the consolidation of different assets of
the Company was supplemented by launching the brand “IRSA
Propiedades Comerciales” and by the change of corporate name
of ALTO PALERMO S.A. (APSA) for IRSA PROPIEDADES COMERCIALES S.A.
as continuation entity, such change of corporate name having been
approved by the Special General Shareholders’ Meeting held on
February 5, 2015.
On
December 18, 2014 the Group inaugurated "Distrito Arcos" Shopping
Center. Distrito Arcos, situated in Palermo neighborhood, in the
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, is a premium outlet stretching
over a gross rental area of roughly 11,170 square meters, housing
60 stores and 37 stands.
Additionally, on
March 17, 2015, the Group opened “Alto Comahue”
Shopping Center in the city of Neuquén, in the Argentine
Patagonia. Alto Comahue extends over a total area of 35,000 square
meters and 9,889.6 square meters of gross rental space, with nearly
1,000 parking spaces – indoor and outdoor – and a big
entertaining space including 6 movie theaters and a thematic
restaurant that will begin to operate in the coming months. The
building is composed of three levels: the underground level housing
the parking and service area; the ground level, containing 5,100
square meters of shopping offers, and the first level, containing
720 square meters of restaurant space and 2,700 square meters of
stores. The project is part of a mixed use complex that also homes
a supermarket in operation and 2 additional plots of land. One of
them is intended for the construction of a hotel and the other one
– 18,000 square meters, owned by the Company – is
intended for future housing development.

Summary
of significant accounting policies
The
principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these
Consolidated Financial Statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless
otherwise stated.
2.1.
Basis
of preparation of the consolidated financial
statements
These
Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance
with and in compliance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”), issued by International Accounting
Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations from
International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee
(“CINIIF” as per its Spanish acronym)
(“IFRIC” as per its English acronym and known before as
the Standards Interpretation Committee “SIC” as per its
English acronym). All IFRS applicable as of the date of these
consolidated financial statements have been applied.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts

and as otherwise indicated)
2. Summary of significant accounting
policies (Continued)
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 on the balance sheet date. 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.
As of June
30, 2016, it is not possible to compute the accumulated inflation
rate for the three year period ending on that date based on the
official statistics of the INDEC (Argentina Statistics Office),
because in October 2015, the INDEC ceased to compute the Wholesale
Domestic Price Index, and started to compute it again as from
January 2016.
As of
the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Argentine
peso does not meet the conditions to be treated as the currency of
a hyperinflationary economy, pursuant to the guidelines set forth
by IAS 29. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements have
not been restated in constant currency.
However, over the
last years, certain macroeconomic variables affecting the
Company’s business, such as payroll costs, input prices and
service rates, have experience 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.
(b)
Current and non-current classification
The
Group presents current and non-current assets, and current and
non-current liabilities, as separate classifications in its
statement of financial position according with the operating cycle
of each activity.
The
operating cycle for activities related to the Group’s
investment property is 12 months. Therefore, current assets and
current liabilities include the assets and liabilities that are
either realized or settled within 12 months from the end of the
fiscal year. The operating cycle of activities related to the
Group’s investment property for sale depends on each specific
project, and thus cannot be clearly defined. In general, assets and
liabilities classified as investment property for sale are realized
or discharged over many fiscal years, ranging between one and three
years or, in exceptional cases, over a longer period. As a result,
and for purposes of classification, the Group has assumed the
operating cycle of investment property for sale to be 12
months.

(All amounts
in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data
and as otherwise indicated)
2. Summary of significant accounting
policies (Continued)
All
other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. Current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities (income tax payable), are
presented separately from each other and from other assets and
liabilities as current and non-current, respectively.
(c)
Presentation currency
The
consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of
Argentine Pesos. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise
requires, references to ‘Peso amounts’ or
‘Ps.’, are to Argentine Pesos, and references to
‘USD’ or ‘US dollars’ are to United States
dollars.
(d)
End of the fiscal year
The
fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 every
year.
(e)
Accounting conventions
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the
deemed cost convention, as modified by financial assets and
financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair
value through profit or loss and share-based compensation at fair
value.
The
Group reports cash flows from operating activities using the
indirect method. Interest paid is presented within financing cash
flows. Interest received is presented within investing activities.
The acquisitions and disposals of investment properties are
disclosed as cash flows from investing activities because this most
appropriately reflects the Group’s business activities. Cash
flows in respect to trading properties are disclosed as cash flows
from operating activities because these assets are sold in the
ordinary course of business.
The
preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires the
Management to make estimations and evaluations affecting the amount
of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and
liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses
recorded during the period. Actual results might differ from the
estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these
financial statements. The most significant judgments made by
Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and
the major estimates and significant judgments are described in Note
5.

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.
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
instance, 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 instance, leases payable) and an asset
that represents the right to use the leased asset during the term
of the lease agreement (rights of use). There is almost no changes
to lessor accounting. Becomes effective for fiscal years beginning
on January 1, 2019, that is, in the case of the Group for the
fiscal year ended on June 30, 2020. It may be applied earlier if
IFRS 15 is also adopted. The Group is currently assessing the
potential impact of the amendments on its financial
statements.
Amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure
initiative". 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.
Becomes effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2017,
that is, in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended on June
30, 2018. Comparative information for prior fiscal years is not
mandatory. It may be applied earlier. 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. Becomes
effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2017, that is,
in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended on June 30,
2018. It may be applied earlier. The Group is currently assessing
the potential impact of the amendments on its financial
statements.

and other additional disclosures in financial statements. Becomes
effective for fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2016, that is,
in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended on June 30,
2017. It may be applied earlier. The Group is currently assessing
the potential impact of the amendments on its financial
statements.
Cycle of annual improvements 2014. IFRS 5
“Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations”: A new classification category has been
established for these assets and the amendment adds guidance on how
to treat changes to disposal plans for those assets classified as
held for sale. Becomes effective for fiscal years beginning on
January 1, 2016, that is, in the case of the Group for the fiscal
year ended on June 30, 2017. The Group is currently assessing the
potential impact of the amendments on its financial
statements.
Cycle of annual improvements 2014. IFRS 7
“Financial Instruments: Disclosures”: It
clarifies that amendments established in December 2011 on
offsetting financial assets and liabilities, and amendments
established in September 2014 will be of retroactive application to
annual fiscal years as from January 1, 2013, in the first case, and
January 1, 2016 in the second case. In addition, it sets forth the
specific disclosure requirements related to servicing contracts
related to financial assets transferred. Becomes effective for
fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2016, that is, in the case of
the Group for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2017. The Group is
currently assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its
financial statements.
IAS 27 Revised “Separate financial
statements”. On August 12, 2014 the IASB has released
an amendment to IAS 27 “Equity method in separate financial
statements”. The amendment reinstates the equity method as an
option to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures
and associates in separate financial statements. The amendment
becomes effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2016, that is, in the case of the Group for the fiscal year ended
on June 30, 2017. It may be applied earlier. The Group is currently
assessing the potential impact of the amendments on its financial
statements.
IFRS 9 “Financial
Instruments”. This version 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
that is, in the case of the Group for financial statements ended on
June 30, 2019. The Group is currently assessing the potential
impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

have a material effect on the Group.
2.3.
Scope
of consolidation
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.
IRSA PROPIEDADES COMERCIALES S.A.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts
in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data
and as otherwise indicated)
2. Summary of significant accounting
policies (Continued)
There
may be de-facto control where the relative size of voting rights
held by the Group in an entity in relation to the size and dilution
of other shareholders gives the Group power to define the relevant
activities of such entity.
Subsidiaries are
fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to
the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control
ceases.
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. The consideration transferred includes the
fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed
as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition
date.
IFRS 3
“Business Combination” allows up to 12 months to
finalize the accounting for a business combination. Where the
accounting for a business combination is not complete by the end of
the reporting period in which the business combination occurred,
the Group reports provisional amounts.
The
Group has elected to recognize acquisition of assets or group of
assets carried out between entities under common control who also
qualify as “Business Combination” according to IFRS 3,
using acquisition method.
The
Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the
acquirer’s net assets. The Group chooses the method to be
used on case by case bases.
The
excess of the sum of the consideration transferred the amount of
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the
acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration
transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously
held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net
assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain
purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income
statement as “Bargain purchase gains”.
Inter-company
transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between
group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also
eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where
necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the
Group. The majority of subsidiaries have the same year-end as the
Group’s, however, a small number of subsidiaries have
non-coterminous year-ends. In these circumstances, special-purpose
financial statements prepared as of June 30 of each year are used
for purposes of the Group consolidation.

The
Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects
in order to determine which non-controlling interests in
subsidiaries are considered significant. In quantitative terms, the
Group considers significant those investments that individually
represent at least 20% of the total equity attributable to
non-controlling interest in subsidiaries at the each year end.
Therefore, in qualitative terms, are considered, among other
factors, the specific risks to which each company is exposed to,
their returns and the importance that each of them has for the
Group.
Summarized
financial information on subsidiaries with material non-controlling
interests and other information are included in Note
7.
(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 to say, as
transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The
amount recorded is the difference between the fair value of any
consideration paid and/or collected and the relevant share acquired
and/or transferred of the carrying value of net assets of the
subsidiary.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(c)
Disposal of subsidiaries with loss of control
When
the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the
entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is
lost, with the change 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.
Associates are all
entities over which the Group has significant influence but not
control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and
less than 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. 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.
If the
ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant
influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts
previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified
to profit or loss where appropriate.
The
Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is
recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-
acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized
in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to
the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share
of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the
associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group
does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or
constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the
associate.
The
Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any
objective evidence that the investment in the associate is
impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of
impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the
associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent
to “share of profit / (loss) of an associate and joint
ventures” in the statement of comprehensive
income.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Profits
and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions
between the Group and its associate are recognized in the
Group’s financial statements only to the extent of unrelated
investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are
eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of
associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency
with the policies adopted by the Group.
For
purposes of including the earnings of associates by applying the
equity method, the Group uses financial statements of the
associates as of the same date or a or a later date, provided the
difference between the reporting date of the associate and that of
the Group cannot be longer than three months. In these cases, the
Group assesses and adjusts the results of such associates for
material transactions or other material events occurred during the
interim period.
The
Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects
in order to determine which non-controlling interests in associates
are considered significant. In quantitative terms, the
investments that individually represent at least 20% of equity in
earnings of joint ventures in the consolidated income statement
and, simultaneously, at least 20% of all investments in joint
ventures total equity attributable to non-controlling interest in
associates at the each year end are considered significant.
Therefore, in qualitative terms, are
considered, among other factors, the specific risks to which each
company is exposed to, their returns and the importance that each
of them has for the Group.
Summarized
financial information and other information for associates are
included in Note 9.
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.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
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 of profits or losses
and movements in other comprehensive income in the income statement
and in other comprehensive income respectively.
When
the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or
exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any
long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the
Group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does
not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or
made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
The
Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any
objective evidence that the investment 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 amount
adjacent to ‘share of profit/ (loss) of an associate and
joint ventures’ in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Unrealized gains on
transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are
eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint
ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset
transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group.
The
Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects
in order to determine which non-controlling interests in joint
ventures are considered significant. In quantitative terms, the
investments that individually represent at least 20% of equity in
earnings of joint ventures in the consolidated income statement
and, simultaneously, at least 20% the total equity attributable to
non-controlling interest in joint ventures at the each year end are
considered significant. Therefore, in
qualitative terms, are considered, among other factors, the
specific risks to which each company is exposed to, their returns
and the importance that each of them has for the
Group.
Summarized
financial information and other information for significant joint
ventures are included in Note 8.
Operating segments
are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”)
the Group´s Executive Committee. The CODM is responsible for
allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating
segments. The operating segments are described in Note
6.

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
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or
loss for the year.
Foreign
exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of
comprehensive income within finance income and finance costs, as
appropriate, unless they are capitalized as explained in Note
2.19..
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
and that are not occupied by The Group for its own operations.
Properties occupied by associates or joint ventures are accounted
for as investment properties in the consolidated financial
statements. Investment property also includes properties 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 property.
When 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 property under IAS 40 “Investment
Property”.
The
Group’s investment properties primarily comprise the
Group’s portfolio of shopping centers and offices, certain
property under development and other undeveloped land.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Investment property
is measured initially at cost. Cost comprises the purchase price
and directly attributable expenditures, such as legal fees, certain
direct taxes, commissions and in the case of properties under
construction, the capitalization of financial costs.
For
properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not
only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to
works in process, from commencement of construction until it is
completed and property is in conditions to start operating.
Capitalized costs include mainly the part attributable to
third-party service costs, as well as the materials necessary for
construction. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the property
reaches the operating conditions indicated
above.
Direct
expenses related to lease contract negotiation (as well 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 as 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.
The
Group has adopted the cost model for all of its investment
properties. Therefore, at the date of each statement of financial
position, investment properties are carried at amortized cost, less
impairment losses, if any. Under the cost model, an investment
property is impaired if its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. Where individual components of an item of investment
property have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items, which are depreciated separately. 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. These
costs may include the cost of improving or replacing parts that are
eligible for capitalization. The carrying amount of the replaced
part is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the
income statement as incurred.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
If an
investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as
property, plant and equipment at the commencement of owner
occupation. An item of owner-occupied property is reclassified to
investment property when its use has changed and owner-occupation
ceases. Where an investment property undergoes a change in use,
evidenced by commencement of development with a view to sale, the
property is transferred to trading properties.
Transfers in and
out of the respective categories as described above do not change
the carrying amount of the properties transferred, and they do not
change the cost of the properties for measurement or disclosure
purposes.
Land
and property under constructions are not depreciated. Depreciation
of the remaining investment properties is calculated, based on a
component approach, using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of each component. The remaining useful life
as of June 30, 2016 is as follows:
Shopping
centers portfolio
|
Between
11 and 30 years
|
Office
and other rental properties portfolio
|
Between
8 and 28 years
|
As of
each year-end an evaluation is performed to determine the existence
of indicators of any decrease in recoverable value or useful life
of assets. If there are any indicators, the recoverable amount
and/or residual useful life of impaired asset(s) is estimated, and
an impairment adjustment is made, if applicable. As of each
year-end, 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 (see Note 2.10.).
Asset
transfers, whether assets classified under 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 owner, 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 owner 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 is transferred to investment
property.

2. Summary of significant accounting
policies (Continued)
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. Gains or losses on
disposals or retirements of investment properties are determined by
comparing the net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts at
the date of disposal. The gains or losses are recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income and disclosed separately under
the line item “Gains from disposal of investment
property”. Gains from the sale of such property are
recognized when the significant risks and rewards have been
transferred to the buyer. As for unconditional agreements, proceeds
are recognized for generally 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 sale 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. 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.
2.7. Property,
plant and equipment
This
category primarily comprises buildings or portions of a building
used for administrative purposes, machines, computers and other
equipment, motor vehicles, furniture, fixtures and fittings and
improvements to the Group’s corporate offices.
All
property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are stated at
historical cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment, if
any. Historical 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. Capitalized costs
include mainly the part attributable to third-party service costs,
as well as the materials necessary for construction. Capitalization
of such costs ceases when the property reaches the operating
conditions indicated above.
Borrowing costs are
directly attributable incurred for the purpose of acquiring,
constructing or producing a qualifying PPE are capitalized as part
of its cost. A qualifying PPE is an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.
Borrowing costs are capitalized during the period of construction
or production of the eligible asset; such capitalization ceases
once the necessary activities for the asset to have the intended
use have been completed, or else capitalization is suspended while
construction activity is suspended.

Subsequent costs
are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as
a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Such costs
may include the cost of improvements and replacement of parts as
they meet the conditions to be capitalized the carrying amount of
those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Repairs and
maintenance are charged to the income statement during the
financial period 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.
As of June 30, 2016 useful lives are as follows:
Other
buildings and facilities
|
Between
5 and 23 years
|

As of
each period-end an evaluation is performed to determine the
existence of indicators of any decrease in recoverable value or
useful life of assets. If there are any indicators, the recoverable
amount and/or residual useful life of impaired asset(s) is
estimated, and an impairment adjustment is made, if applicable. As
of each year-end, 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 (see Note 2.10.).
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,
net of direct expenses related to those proceeds, with carrying
amount at the date of each transaction. 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.
Leases
are classified at their inception as either operating or finance
leases based on the economic substance of the
agreement.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
A Group company is the lessor:
Operating lease
– properties leased out to tenants under operating leases are
included in “Investment properties” in the statement of
financial position. See Note 2.25. for the recognition of rental
income.
Finance
lease – the Group does not have any assets leased out under
finance leases.
A Group company is the lessee:
Operating lease
– leases in which substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership are retained by another party, the lessor, are classified
as operating leases. Payments, including prepayments, made under
operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor)
are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over
the period of the lease. Significant leases where the Group acts as
lessee under operating leases mainly include principal
offices.
Finance
lease - leases of assets where the Group has substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership are classified as 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 are charged over the
lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest
on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Liabilities corresponding to finance leases, measured at discounted
value, are included in current and non-current borrowings.
Significant leases where the Group acts as lessee under finance
leases include machinery and computer equipment.
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.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
At
acquisition goodwill is allocated to those cash generating units
expected to benefit from the acquisition for the purpose of
impairment (see Note 2.10.). Following initial recognition,
goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment
losses. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is
included within “Intangible assets” on the statement of
financial position.
Goodwill may also
arise upon investments in associates and joint ventures, being the
surplus of the cost of investment over the Group’s share of
the fair value of the net identifiable assets. Such goodwill is
recorded within investments in associates or joint
ventures.
Goodwill is not
amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more
frequently if there is an indication of impairment.
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 3
years.
Costs
associated with maintaining computer software programs are
recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are
directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and
unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as
intangible assets when the following criteria are met: (i) it is
technically feasible to complete the software product so that it
will be available for use; (ii) management intends to complete the
software product and use or sell it; (iii) there is an ability to
use or sell the software product; (iv) it can be demonstrated how
the software product will generate probable future economic
benefits; (v) adequate technical, financial and other resources to
complete the development and to use or sell the software product
are available; and (vi) the expenditure attributable to the
software product during its development can be reliably
measured.
Directly
attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software
product include the software development employee costs and an
appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Other
development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are
recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously
recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a
subsequent period.
Computer software
development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their
estimated useful lives, which does not exceed 3 years.

2. Summary

The
Group acquired certain rights to develop a plot of land and
facilities. These rights primarily comprise the right to develop
the land and attached buildings and facilities known as Distrito
Arcos (“Arcos”).
The
Arcos land and attached facilities is owned by Administration of
Railway Infrastructure (“ADIF”, as per its Spanish
acronym), a governmental agency created for the management of
certain State´s properties, particularly assets pertaining to
the railway system. The Arcos are the old warehouse and adjacent
spaces below the tracks of the San Martin railway lines. The right
was acquired as part of the Arcos acquisition and is carried at
acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is
calculated using the straight-line method over the period in which
the economic benefits of use accrue. The Group must pay ADIF a fee
on a monthly basis.
(d)
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.
2.10.
Impairment
of assets
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. In order to determine whether any
impairment loss should be recognized, the book value of
cash-generating units or cash generating unit groups is compared
against its recoverable value. Net book value of cash-generating
units and cash generating unit groups include goodwill and assets
with limited useful life (such as, investment properties, property,
plant and equipment, intangible assets and working capital
net).

and as otherwise indicated)
2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
If the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit 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 included in the statement of
comprehensive income and are not reversed in a subsequent
period.
Recoverable amount
of the cash-generating unit is the higher of fair value less
costs-to-sell and value-in-use. The fair value is the amount at
which a cash-generating unit 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 cash-generating units or cash-generating unit
groups.
(b) Property,
plant and equipment, investment properties and limited-duration
intangible assets
At the
date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the
carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, investment
properties and limited-duration intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent,
if any, of the impairment loss. When the asset does not generate
cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs.
If the
recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated
to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the
asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of
comprehensive income.
Assets
or cash-generating units that have suffered an impairment loss are
revised as of each year-end date to assess a potential reversal of
such impairment. The impairment loss recognized in prior fiscal
years may only be reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to assess the recoverable value of assets or the
cash-generating unit since the recognition of the impairment
loss.
Where
an impairment loss subsequently reverses the carrying amount of the
asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate
of its recoverable amount, not to exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined if no impairment loss had been
recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A
reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive income.

Trading
properties comprises those properties either intended for sale or
in the process of construction for 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 their 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 direct costs of purchase, costs of conversion and
other costs incurred in bringing the trading properties to their
present location and condition.
Borrowing costs
incurred for the purpose of acquiring, constructing or producing a
qualifying trading property are capitalized as part of its cost. A
qualifying trading property is an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.
Borrowing costs are capitalized while acquisition, construction or
production is actively underway and cease once the asset is
substantially complete or suspended if the development of the asset
is suspended.
Net
realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less costs to complete redevelopment and selling
expenses. If the net realizable value is lower than the carrying
amount, a write-down is recognized for the amount by which the
carrying amount exceeds its net realizable value. Write-downs are
reversed when circumstances that caused the write-down cease to
exist, or when net realizable value increases.
Inventories mainly
include materials, supplies or other assets required to offer
different services.
Supplies and the
rest of materials and assets classified in this category are
measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of
supplies, materials and other assets is determined using the
weighted average cost method.

Financial
instruments
Accordingly with
previous versions to the IFRS 9 (see Note 2.2), the Group
classifies its financial assets in the following categories: those
to be measured 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 instrument.
Debt instruments
(i)
Financial assets at amortized cost
A debt
instrument 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 instrument are considered in
determining whether the cash flows of the instrument are solely
payment of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and
are not accounted for separately.
At
year-end, the Group’s financial assets at amortized cost
comprise items of cash, trade and other receivables.
(ii)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
If
either of the two criteria above 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 statement of comprehensive
income.
At
year-end, the Group’s financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss comprise mutual funds, government bonds,
non-convertible notes and public companies.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Equity instruments
All
equity instruments, 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 fair value of equity
instruments through changes in profit or loss.
Changes
in fair values and results from disposal of equity investments at
fair value through profit or loss and dividends income are recorded
within ”Financial results, net” in the statement of
comprehensive income.
(b)
Recognition
and measurement
Regular
purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the
trade-date–the date on which the Group commits to purchase or
sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights
to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have
been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership.
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 through profit or
loss are expensed in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Results
on debt instruments measured at amortized cost and not identified
for hedging purposes are charged to income where the financial
assets are derecognized or an impairment loss is recognized and
during the amortization process under the effective interest
method.
All
equity investments, which are not subsidiaries associate companies
and joint venture of the Group, are measured at fair
value.
The
Group is required to reclassify all affected investments in debt
instruments when and only when its business model for managing
those assets changes.

(c)
Impairment of financial assets
The
Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is
objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial
assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. A financial asset or
a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are
incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a
result of one or more events that occurred after the initial
recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss
event (or events) the can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of
impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of
debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulties,
defaults or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the
probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a
measurable decrease in the estimated future cash
flows.
The
amount of the impairment 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. The carrying amount of the asset is
reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the
consolidated income statement. As a practical expedient, the Group
may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair
value using an observable market price. If, in a subsequent period,
the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was
recognized, the reversal of the previously recognized impairment
loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income.
(d)
Offsetting financial instruments
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
Derivatives
financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. The
method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether
the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so,
the nature of the item being hedged.
The
Group manages exposures to various risks using hedging instruments
that provide the appropriate economic outcome. The Group does not
use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To
date, the Group has used future and forwards contracts, as deemed
appropriate.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The
Group’s policy is to apply hedge accounting to hedging
relationships 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. To date the Group has
not applied hedge accounting to any of its derivative financial
instruments. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset
or liability on the statement of financial position. Gains and
losses on other derivatives are classified in “Financial
results, net”, in the statement of comprehensive
income.
The
fair values of financial instruments that are traded in active
markets are computed by reference to market prices. The fair value
of derivative 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 of each reporting period.
2.15.
Trade
and other receivables
Trade
receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method.
A
provision of doubtful accounts is recorded when 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 Group generally
measures the impairment provision on an individual basis. When
assessed individually, the Group records a provision for impairment
which amounts to the difference between the value of the discounted
expected future cash flows of the receivable and its carrying
amount, taking into account the existing collateral, if any. This
provision takes into consideration the financial situation of the
debtor, the resources, payment track-record and, if applicable, the
value of collateral.
The
Group collectively evaluates for impairment smaller-balance
homogeneous receivables, which are grouped on the basis of similar
risk characteristics, taking into account asset type, collateral
type, past-due status and other relevant factors. The Group applies
allowance factors, which in the judgment of management represent
the expected losses over the life of the receivables. In
determining those factors, the Group considers the following: (i)
delinquencies of the credits, (ii) loss history and the general
behavior of clients, (iii) trends in volume and terms of
receivables, (iv) the experience and depth of the debtors’
management, (v) national and local economic trends, (vi)
concentrations of credit by individual credit size and by class of
receivable, and (vii) the effect of other external
factors.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The
amount of the provision of doubtful accounts 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 an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is
recognized in the statement of income within “Selling
expenses”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited against “Selling expenses” in
the statement of comprehensive income.
2.16.
Trade
and other payables
Trade
payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method.
The
Group generally obtains deposits from tenants as a guarantee for
returning the property at the end of the lease term in a specified
good condition or for the lease payments for a period of generally
3 years. The deposits are generally equivalent to one month of
lease rentals. Such deposits are treated as both a financial assets
and a financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9, and they are
initially recognized at fair value. The difference between fair
value and cash received is considered to be part of the minimum
lease payments received for the operating lease (refer to Note
2.25. for the recognition of rental income). The deposits are
subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Borrowings are
recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs
incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the
redemption value is recognized as finance cost over the period of
the borrowings using the effective interest method.
General
and specific borrowing costs (interest and foreign exchange
differences) directly attributable to the acquisition, construction
or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for
their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets,
until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their
intended use or sale.
Investment income
earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending
their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the
borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing
costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they
are incurred.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The
Group capitalizes borrowing costs on qualifying investment
properties, property, plant and equipment and trading
properties.
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
amount of its accruals is based 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 effect on its results of
operations and financial condition or liquidity.
Provisions are
measured at the present value of the cash flows expected to be
required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision
due to passage of time is recognized in the statement of
comprehensive Income.
(a)
Pension plans obligations
The
Group operates a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution
plan 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 and prior periods. The
contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense in the
statement of comprehensive income when they are due.
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.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
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 contractually obliged or where
there is a past practice that has created a constructive
obligation.
2.22.
Share-based
payments
The
Group operates an incentive plan, under which certain selected
employees, directors and top management of IRSA Propiedades
Comerciales S.A., IRSA and Cresud have a right to matching shares
of IRSA and Cresud, although they must hold their purchased shares
and remain with the employer entity for a certain period of
time.
The
fair value of the equity settled awards is measured at the date of
grant. Management 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 will be recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income under the straight-line method
over the vesting period in which the right to the shares of IRSA
and Cresud becomes irrevocable (“vesting period”); such
value shall be based on the best available estimate of the number
of shares expected to vest. Such estimate shall be revised provided
subsequent information available indicates that the number of
shares expected to vest differs from original
estimates.
2.23.
Current
and deferred income tax
Tax
expense for the year comprises the charge for tax currently payable
and deferred taxation. Tax is recognized in the statement 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.
The
current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax
laws enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement
of financial position in the countries where the Company and its
subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management
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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
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. Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the date of the statement of financial position and are expected to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the
deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax
assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that
future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary
differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax
is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, 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.
Entities in
Argentina are subject to the Minimum Presumed Income Tax
(“MPIT”). Pursuant to this tax regime, an entity is
required to pay the greater of the income tax or the MPIT. The MPIT
provision is calculated on an individual entity basis at the
statutory asset tax rate of 1% and is based upon the taxable assets
of each company as of the end of the year, as defined by Argentine
law. Any excess of the MPIT over the income tax may be carried
forward and recognized as a tax credit against future income taxes
payable over a 10-year period. When the Group assesses that it is
probable that it will use the MPIT payment against future taxable
income tax charges within the applicable 10-year period, 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.

recognition
Revenue
of Group´s activities principally derived from business
activities carried out in shopping centers and buildings for rental
and mainly include rental income from shopping center properties
and offices leased under operating leases, admission rights,
commissions and revenue from several services provided to the
Group’s lessees.
Revenue
from the sale of properties 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
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.
●
Shopping centers portfolio
Primarily comprises
rental income from shopping center properties lease out over
operating leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from
several services provided to the Group’s
lessees.
All
lease agreements in Argentina are cancelable pursuant to Argentine
Law 23,091 “Urban Real Estate” as amended by Law
24,808. Under this law, a lease is not cancelable within the first
six months of the agreement, but provides that after that initial
non-cancelable period, tenants may rescind agreements at any time
upon giving prior written notice to lessors. Cancellations are
subject to one-and-a-half month’s rent if rescinded during
the first year of the lease and one month’s rent if rescinded
after the first year of the lease.
The
Group analyzed the definition of leasing term which IAS 17 provides
that a non-cancelable lease is a lease that is cancelable only (a)
upon the occurrence of some remote contingency, (b) with the
permission of the lessor, (c) if the lessee enters into a new lease
with the same lessor or (d) upon payment by the lessee of such an
additional amount that, at inception of the lease, continuation of
the lease is reasonably certain.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The
Group has determined that, in all operating leases, the lease term
for accounting purposes matches the term of the contract. The Group
concluded that, even though a lease is cancelable under the law,
tenants would incur significant “economic penalties” if
the leases are terminated prior to expiry. The Group considered
that these economic penalties are of such amount that continuation
of the lease contracts by tenants appears to be reasonably certain
at the inception of the respective agreements. The Group reached
this conclusion based on factors such as: (i) the strategic
geographical location and accessibility to customers of the
Group’s investment properties; (ii) the nature and tenure of
tenants (mostly well-known local and international retail chains);
(iii) limited availability of identical revenue-producing space in
the areas where the Group’s investment properties are
located; (iv) the tenants’ brand image and other competitive
considerations; (v) tenants’ significant expenses incurred in
renovation, maintenance and improvements on the leased space to fit
their own image; (vi) the majority of the Group’s tenants
only have stores in shopping centers with a few or none street
stores.
Lessees
of shopping centers are generally required to pay the higher of:
(i) a base monthly rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a
specific percentage of gross monthly sales recorded by the Lessee
(the “Contingent Rent”), which generally ranges between
3% and 12% of gross sales. Moreover, in accordance with agreements
entered into for most locations, the Base Rent is subject to
scheduled increases, typically between 18% and 28% per year over
the term of the lease.
In
addition, some lease contracts include provisions that set forth
variable rent based on specific volumes of sales and other types of
ratios.
Rental
income from shopping center properties leased out under operating
leases is recognized in the income statement 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.
Tenants
in the Group’s shopping centers are also generally charged a
non-refundable admission right upon entering a lease contract or
renewing an existing one. Admission rights are treated as
additional rental income and recognized in the statement of income
under a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease
agreement.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The
Group acts as its own leasing agent for arranging and closing lease
agreements in its shopping center properties and consequently earns
letting fees. Letting fees are paid by tenants upon the successful
closing of an agreement. A transaction is considered successfully
concluded when both parties have signed the related lease contract.
Letting fees received by the Group are treated as additional rental
income and are recognized in the statement of income on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease
agreements.
Lease
contracts also provide that common area maintenance
(“CAM”) of the Group’s shopping centers are borne
by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis.
These common area service charges (“CAM”) 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 centers. The lessor is responsible
for determining the need and suitability of incurring a common area
service charge. The Group makes the original payment for such
expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group has
assessed the substance of the transactions and concluded that the
Group is 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 separately from property operating
expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as
incurred.
Under
the lease contracts entered into, lessees also agree to participate
in collective promotion funds (“CPF”) to be used in
advertising and promoting the Group’s shopping centers. Each
lessee’s participation is generally calculated as a
percentage of the monthly rent accrued. Revenue so derived is also
included under rental income and services segregated from
advertising and promotion expenses. Such expenses are charged to
income when incurred.
On the
other hand, revenue includes income from managed operations and
other services such as car parking lots. Those revenues are
recognized on an accrual basis as services are
provided.
●
Office and other rental properties portfolio
Rental
income from office 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 office and other rental properties leased out under
operating leases is recognized in the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the term of the leases (‘rent
averaging’). 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,
are recorded as income in the periods in which they are collected.
Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with
tenants.
Lease
contracts also provide that common area service charges of the
Group’s office and other rental properties are borne by the
corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionally basis. These
common area service 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
centers. The Group acts as the management of rent properties. The
Group makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then
reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considered that it acts as a
principal in these cases. The Group 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 expensed as
incurred.
●
Sales and Development activities
Revenue
from sale and developments of real estate properties primarily
comprises the results from the sale of trading properties. Results
from the sale of properties are recognized only when the
significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer.
This normally takes place on unconditional exchange of contracts
(except where payment or completion is expected to occur
significantly after exchange). For conditional exchanges, sales are
recognized when these conditions are satisfied.
The
Group applies IFRIC 15 “Agreements for the Construction of
Real Estate” IFRIC 15 gives guidance as to which standard
applies when accounting for the construction of real estate; that
is IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” or IAS 18
“Revenue”. IFRIC 15 interprets that an agreement meets
the definition of a construction contract under IAS 11 when the
buyer is able to specify the major structural elements of the
design of the property either before or during construction.
Furthermore, IFRIC 15 interprets that an agreement is for the sale
of goods under IAS 18 when construction takes place independently
of the agreement and the buyer has only a limited ability to
influence the design. The Group has assessed the nature of its
agreements and determined that they are within the scope of IAS 18.
As a result, the Group recognizes revenue from the sale of open
market private homes and commercial units entirely at the point of
legal completion in accordance with IAS 18.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
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.
Sometimes, the Group also receives cash as part of the
transactions. The legal entitle together with all risks and rewards
of ownership to the land are transferred to the developer upon
sale. The Group generally requires the developer to issue surety
insurances or to mortgage the land in favor of the Group as
performance guarantee. In the event the developer does not fulfill
its obligations, the Group forecloses the land through the
execution of the mortgage or the surety insurances, together with a
cash penalty.
The
Group determines that its barter transactions have commercial
substance and that the conditions for revenue recognition on the
transfer of land are met at the time the transaction takes place.
Revenue is then recognized at the fair value of the goods
delivered, adjusted by the amount of cash received, if any. In
exchange for the land given up, the Group receives cash, if any,
and an in-kind receivable. Such receivable is initially recognized
at fair value but is not subsequently remeasured. In exchange for
the land given up, the Group receives cash and/or a right to
receive future units to be constructed in land under barter
transactions. The in-kind receivable is initially recognized at
cost (being the fair value of the transferred land) as intangible
asset in the statement of financial position named “Right to
receive future units” (Barter transactions). The mentioned
intangible asset is not adjusted in subsequent years unless there
is a sign of impairment.
The
Group may sell the residential apartments to third-party homebuyers
once they are finalized and transferred from the developer. In
these circumstances, revenue is recognized when the significant
risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer. This will normally
take place when the deeds of title are transferred to the
homebuyer.
However, the Group
may market the residential apartments during construction or even
before construction commences. In these situations, homebuyers
generally surrenders a down payment to the Group with the remaining
amount being paid when the developer completes the property and
transfers it to the Group, and the Group in turn transfers it to
the buyer. In these cases, revenue is not recognized until the
apartments are completed and the transaction is legally completed,
that is when the apartments are transferred to the homebuyers and
deeds of title are executed. This is because in the event the
residential apartments are not completed by the developer and
consequently not delivered to the homebuyer, the Group is
contractually obligated to return to the homebuyer any down payment
received plus a penalty amount. The Group may then seek legal
remedy against the developer for non-performance of its obligations
under the agreement. The Group exercised judgment and considers
that the most significant risk associated with the asset the Group
holds (i.e. the right to receive the apartments) consisting of the
unfulfillment of the developer's obligations (i.e. to complete the
construction of the apartments) has not been transferred to the
homebuyers upon reception of the down payment.

2. Summary
of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Ordinary shares are
classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to
the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as
a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
When
any of Group´s companies purchases the Company’s equity
share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including
any directly attributable incremental costs (net of tax) is
deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity
holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. When such
ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration
received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction
costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity
attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
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.
Earning
per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the year
attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted
average of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
earning per share is computed by dividing the profit for the year
by the weighted average of common shares outstanding, and when
dilutive, adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive
shares, including share options, on an as-if converted
basis.
In
computing diluted earnings per share, income available to common
shareholders used in the basic earnings per share calculation is
adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest recognized in
the year with respect to any debt convertible to common stock. The
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been
issued. Diluted earning per share is based on the most advantageous
conversion rate or exercise price over the entire term of the
instrument from the standpoint of the security holder. The
calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes potential common
shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 35 for
details.

Comparative
Information
The
comparative information as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 included in
these Consolidated Financial Statements arises from the financial
statements as of such dates. Certain reclassifications of prior
year information have been made to conform to the current year
presentation.
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, there has been a devaluation
of the Argentine peso in relation to the US Dollar and other
currencies that accounted for approximately 65%. This situation
affects the comparability of figures disclosed in these financial
statements, arising mainly from the exchange rate impact on our
revenues and costs of the “offices and others” segment,
and our assets and liabilities in foreign currency.

IRSA
IRSA
Propiedades Comerciales S.A. has acquired from its controlling
company IRSA, 16,012 square meters corresponding to 14 floors (13
to 16 and 21 to 30) for purposes of long-term leasing and 142
parking spaces in the building to be built in the Catalina area in
the City of Buenos Aires. The building to be constructed has a
total gross leasing area of 35,468 square meters in 30 office
floors and 316 parking lots in four undergrounds; possession is
scheduled to be delivered in December 2019 and the conveyance deed
is expected to be executed in December 2020.
The
price of the transaction was established based on two components: a
“Determined” part corresponding to the incidence of
land on the square meters acquired by the Company in an amount of
Ps. 455.7 million (approximately USD/square meter 1,600 + VAT) that
were paid on the execution date and a “To Be
Determined” part, where IRSA will shift the company only the
real cost of the construction works per square meter.

September 2, 2014: Equity interest in Avenida
Inc.
On July
18, 2014, the Group - through Torodur S.A., exercised the warrant
held associated to this investment and consequently its interest in
Avenida Inc. increased to 6,172,840 shares or 35.46% of its capital
stock. However, simultaneously, the Group's holding was reduced to
23.01% as a result of the acquisition of 35.12% interest in the
Company by a new investor.
Subsequently, on
September 2, Torodur S.A. sold 1,430,000 shares representing 5% of
the Avenida Inc.’s capital stock in the amount of Ps. 19.1
million (USD 2.3 million), thus reducing the equity interest to
17.68% of its share capital. Such transaction generated a gain
of Ps. 8.8 million included in "Other operation results, net" in
the statement of comprehensive income.
As a
result of the sale of the interest, the Group has ceased to have
significant influence in the Company and, as a result, has ceased
to recognize the equity interest in Avenida Inc. as investment in
associates and has considered as a financial asset at fair value in
the financial statements since June 30, 2015.

Antitrust
Law
Law
N° 25,156, known as "Antitrust Law" as amended, prevents
anticompetitive practices and requires administrative authorization
for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law would lead to
market concentration. According to this law, such transactions
include mergers, acquisitions and/or transfers either of businesses
or assets by which the acquirer controls or substantially
influences another party. Transactions completed by entities with
an annual sales volume of more than Ps. 200.0 million must be
submitted to the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la
Competencia (hereinafter referred to as the "Antitrust Commission")
for authorization. Certain exceptions apply. Submissions may be
filed either prior to the transaction or within a week after its
completion. The Antitrust Commission may (i) authorize the
transaction, (ii) condition the transaction to the accomplishment
of certain acts, or (iii) reject the authorization.
In
general, acquisitions effected by the Group are within the scope of
the Antitrust Law. . In these cases, the Group directly requests
authorization. In other cases, the Group may request the Commission
to issue a prior statement about whether a particular transaction
should be either notified or submitted authorization by the
Group.
As of

Financial
Risk Management
Risk
management principles and procedures
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 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.
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 risk management policies are established to all its
subsidiaries companies in order to identify and analyze the risks
faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls to
monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and
systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market
conditions and the Group’s activities. 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 of Cresud (IRSA’s parent
company), 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.

4. Financial Risk Management
(Continued)
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 principal risks and uncertainties facing
the businesses, 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 and
equity securities price risks, to the extent that these are exposed
to general and specific market movements. The Group sets limits on
the exposure to these risks that may be accepted, which are
monitored on a regular basis.
The
examples 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.
Foreign exchange risk and associated derivative financial
instruments
The
Group publishes its consolidated financial statements in Argentine
Pesos but conducts business in many foreign currencies. As a
result, the Group is subject to foreign currency exchange risk due
to exchange rate movements, which affect the Group’s
transaction costs. 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, that is, Argentine Pesos.
The
real estate activities of the Group’s subsidiaries are
primarily located in Argentina where the Argentine Peso is the
functional currency. A significant majority of the Group’s
business activities is conducted in the respective functional
currencies of the subsidiaries (the Argentine Peso), thus not
exposing the Group to foreign exchange risk. However, in the
ordinary course of business, the Group transacts in currencies
other than the respective functional currencies of the
subsidiaries. These transactions are primarily denominated in US
dollars. The Group’s net financial position exposure to the
US dollar is managed on a case-by-case basis, by entering into
different derivative instruments and/or by borrowing in foreign
currencies. Exposure to other foreign currencies has not been
significant to date.

Financial
instruments are only considered sensitive to foreign exchange rates
where they are not in the functional currency of the entity that
holds them. The following table shows the US dollar-denominated net
carrying amounts of the financial instruments for the years ended
June 30, 2016 and 2015. All amounts are presented in Argentine

The
Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10%
appreciation of the US dollar against the Argentine Peso at
year-end would decrease profit before income tax in an amount of
Ps. 333,036 and Ps. 272,598 for the years ended June 30, 2016 and
2015, respectively. A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the
functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on
the statement of income.
This
sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view of
the sensitivity of the foreign exchange risk associated with
Group’s financial instruments. The actual impact of the
foreign exchange rate changes on the Group’s financial
instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the
sensitivity analysis.
Furthermore, the
Group also uses derivative instruments, such as foreign currency
forward contracts, to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. As
of June 30, 2016 there are foreign-currency forward contracts in
the amount of Ps. 2,857, while as of June 30, 2015 there were no
foreign currency forward contracts (see Note 18).
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.

4. Financial Risk Management
(Continued)
Investments in both
fixed rate and floating rate instruments carry varying degrees of
interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair
market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. In
general, longer dated securities are subject to greater interest
rate risk than shorter dated securities. While floating rate
securities are generally subject to less interest rate risk than
fixed rate securities, floating rate securities may produce less
income than expected if interest rates decrease. Due in part to
these factors, the Group’s investment income may fall short
of expectations or the Group may suffer losses in principal if
securities that have declined in market value due to changes in
interest rates are sold.
As the
Group’s investments on this type of financial instruments
subject to this risk are not significant, changes in market
interest rates do not have any significant direct effect on the
Group’s income.
The
Group’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term
borrowings (Note 23). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose
the Group to the risk that the actual cash flows differ from those
expected. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to the
risk that the fair values of these differ from those expected. 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 borrowing covenants.
The
interest rate risk policy is approved by the Management. The Group
analyzes its 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.

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 year ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 in Ps. 4.5 million
and Ps. 2.8 million, respectively. A 1% decrease in the floating
interest rate would have an equal and opposite effect on the income
statement.
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 rate changes on the
Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from
the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.
Other price risk
The
Group is exposed to price risk inherent in equity investments,
which are 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, 2016 and 2015 the total value of the investment in equity
securities issued by other companies equals to Ps. 312.4 million
and Ps. 173.8 million, respectively.

tax for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 in Ps. 31.2 million
and Ps. 17.4 million respectively. A 10% increase in equity indexes
would have an equal and opposite effect on the statement of
income.
This
sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view of
the price risk sensitivity of certain of the Group’s equity
securities. The actual impact of changes in equity indexes may
differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity
analysis.
(b)
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
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.
The
Group’s primary objective for holding derivative financial
instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest
rate risk. The Group 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 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. Financial Risk Management
(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.
Trade
receivables from investment and development property activities are
primarily derived from leases and services from shopping centers,
office and other rental properties; receivables from the sale of
trading properties and investment properties (primarily undeveloped
land and non-retail rental properties). The Group has a large
customer base and is not dependent on any single
customer.
Trade
receivables related to leases and services provided by the Group
represent a diversified tenant base and account for 98.3% and 97.8%
of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 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 center, office 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. As a
result, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is low.
Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external
ratings in accordance with limits set by the Group, as applicable.
If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. 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 losses from non-performance by these
counterparties. See Note 16 for details.
On the
other hand, property receivables related to the sale of trading
properties represent 0.1% of the Group’s total trade
receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015. 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.
Trade
receivables related to the Group’s consumer financing
residual activities represent 1.7% and 2.1% of the Group’s
total trade receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015,
respectively.

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 with adequate committed
funding lines from high quality lenders.
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, by spreading the
repayment dates and extending facilities.
The
tables below analyze the Group´s non-derivative financial
liabilities and derivative financial liabilities into relevant
maturity 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.

Capital
risk management
The
capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders’
equity and short-term to long-term net borrowings. The type and
maturity of the Group’s borrowings are analyzed further in
Note 23. The Group’s equity is analyzed into its various
components in the statement of changes in equity.
Capital
is managed so as to promote the long-term success of the business
and to maintain sustainable returns for shareholders.
The
Group seeks to manage its capital requirements to maximize value
through the mix of debt and equity funding, while ensuring that
Group entities continue to operate as going concerns, comply with
applicable capital requirements and maintain strong credit
ratings.
The
Group assesses the adequacy of its capital requirements, cost of
capital and gearing (i.e. debt/equity mix) as part of its broader
strategic plan. The Group continuously reviews its capital
structure to ensure that (i) sufficient funds and financing
facilities are available to implement the Group’s property
development and business acquisition strategies, (ii) adequate
financing facilities for unforeseen contingencies are maintained,
and (iii) distributions to shareholders are maintained within the
Group’s dividend distribution policy. The Group also protects
its equity in assets by 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

maintaining an appropriate risk reward balance to accommodate
changing financial and operating market cycles.

4.1
Other
non-financial risks
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 impact liquidity and relative
property performance. The Group has a large multi-asset portfolio
and monitors its concentration and average property lot
size.
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 tenant concentration, helps mitigating
these risks.

4. Financial
Risk Management (Continued)
The
development, administration and profitability of shopping centers
are impacted by various factors including: the accessibility and
the attractiveness of the area where the shopping center is
located, the intrinsic attractiveness of the shopping center, the
flow of people, the level of sales of each shopping center rental
unit, the increasing competition from internet sales, the amount of
rent collected from each shopping center rental unit and the
fluctuations in their occupancy levels in the shopping centers. 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. Argentine Law N°
24,808 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: the potential abandonment of development opportunities;
construction costs exceeding original estimates, possibly making a
project uneconomical; occupancy rates and rents at newly completed
projects may be insufficient to make the project profitable; the
Group’s inability to obtain financing on favorable terms for
the development of the project; construction and lease-up may not
be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service
expense and construction costs; the Group’s inability to
obtain, or the delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use,
building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and
authorizations; preconstruction buyers may default on their
purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon
completion of constructions; prices for residential units may be
insufficient to cover development costs. 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.

Critical
accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments
The
Group’s significant accounting policies are stated in Note 2
above. Not all of these significant accounting policies require
management to make difficult 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.

5. Critical
accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments
(Continued)
(a)
Business combinations – purchase price
allocation
Business
combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.
Accounting for business combinations requires the determination of
the fair value of the various assets and liabilities of the
acquired business. The Group uses all available information to make
these fair value determinations, and for major acquisitions, may
hire an independent appraisal firm to assist in making fair value
estimates. In some instances, assumptions with respect to the
timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with
an asset might have to be used in determining its fair value. These
assumptions may differ materially from those initial estimates, and
if the timing is delayed significantly or if the net cash flows
decline significantly, the asset could become
impaired.
(b) Impairment
testing of goodwill and other non-current assets and calculation of
fair value
As of
the end of each year ended June 30, the Group reviews the carrying
amounts of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and
investment property in order to identify if there are events or
circumstances that indicate a decline in the recoverable amount of
these assets. The indications that must be taken into account in
the analysis are, among other points, physical damage or
significant changes to the manner in which the asset is used, worse
than expected economic performance or a drop in revenues. When the
asset does not generate independent cash flows from others assets,
the Group estimates the recoverable value of the cash-generating
unit to which the asset relates.
Goodwill is not
amortized but it is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or
more frequently if there is an indication of impairment. For the
purposes of the impairment testing, goodwill is to be allocated
since acquisition among each of the cash generating units or groups
of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the
synergies of the respective business combinations, regardless of
the allocation of other assets or liabilities owned by the acquired
entity to these cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating
units.
An
asset or CGU´s carrying amount, is written down immediately to
its recoverable amount if the asset or CGU’s carrying amount
is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive
income.
Given
the nature of its assets and activities, most of the Group’s
individual assets do not generate independent cash flows that are
independent of those from CGUs. Therefore, the Group estimates the
recoverable value of the CGU for the purposes of the impairment
test. In general, each business center, office building and
undeveloped property is generally considered as an independent
CGU.

(Continued)
As of
June 30, 2016 and 2015, given the injunction order and the
concession status of Arcos del Gourmet S.A. (see Note 7),
circumstances that were deemed to be potential proof of impairment
and, therefore, the Group carried out relevant analysis on
consolidated net assets in this transaction. To such end, the Group
has determined the recoverable value of such assets using the
discounted cash flow valuation method upon weighing various
scenarios. The main inputs used in the model include projected
operating income and a discount rate in line with the business.
Each revenue and cost scenario was assigned an occurrence
probability rate based on information available at the time of
conducting the analysis. The Company concluded that it is not
necessary to record any impairment of its related
assets.
The
following table shows the amounts of goodwill and non-current
assets other than goodwill of the CGUs where goodwill was allocated
and/or an intangible asset, for each of the years ended June 30,
2016 and 2015.

The
Group uses the fair value of investment properties estimated by
independent appraisers as required by Resolution N° 576/10 of
the National Securities Commission of Argentina.
For
purposes of calculating the fair value for impairment tests and/or
to disclose it in a note to the financial statements the Group uses
various valuation techniques: discounted cash flows, capitalization
method and market comparables, depending on the type of ownership
involved, as indicated below.

5. Critical
accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments
(Continued)
Under
the cash flows or discounted cash flows model, independent
appraisers estimate net future cash flows, based on the specific
features of each property (including but not limited to location,
sales, occupation, turnout and useful life), the agreements in
force, market information and future forecasts as of the valuation
date. Net income forecasts and revenues growth rates are among the
most important assumptions used in the valuation. This estimate
also considers the discount rates that reflect the risk of each
business. Any inaccuracy in the assumptions used by the appraisers
may result in differences in the fair value of the Group’s
property.
The
Group uses the cap rate valuation methodology to calculate the fair
value of its shopping centers.
This
methodology involves designing simulation models whereby the
current annual operating income flow of a given asset is considered
to be a stabilized low in perpetuity, and is divided by a
capitalization rate derived from market comparables; the rate is
adjusted considering its major features (size, location and
condition of asset) to determine its fair value. The Group
considers that the new methodology reflects more reliably the fair
market value of its shopping centers for it is based on the current
annual net operating income of various assets and uses market
information to determine the capitalization rate; as such, it is a
more transparent method internationally recognized in the industry.
Additionally, it is the same methodology used to value the shopping
center segments in other similar companies, hence, it is more
useful to make comparisons against such valuations.
As of
June 30, 2016 and 2015 fair value of investment properties was
computed using a weighted average capitalization rate of 10.9% and
12%, respectively (a 9.8% to 13.3% range was considered for fiscal
year 2016 and 10% to 15% for fiscal year 2015).
Generally, an
increase in the annual flow of operating income will lead to an
increase in the fair value of investment properties, whereas an
increase in the capitalization rate will lead to a decline in the
fair value of investment properties.
For
those assets that are not currently operating and where it is not
possible to identify annual net operating income flows, the
discounted cash flow or market comparable valuation methodology is
used.
Under
the comparative sale method (or comparable market), the sale price
of comparable properties located nearby is adjusted by the
differences in the most significant features of such property, such
as, size and condition. The most relevant data included in this
method is the price per square meter.

(c)
Fair value of derivatives and other financial
instruments
Fair
values of derivative financial instruments are computed with
reference to quoted market prices on trade exchanges, when
available. The fair values of financial instruments that are not
traded in an active market are determined by using valuation
techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of
methods and make assumptions that are based on market conditions
existing at statement of financial position.
(d)
Allowance for trade receivables
As
described on Note 2.15., the Group makes some estimation in order
to calculate the allowance for trade receivables. If the amount
estimated differs to the present value, actual write-offs might be
higher/lower than expected.
(e) Income
taxes
The
Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions.
Significant judgment is required in determining the overall
provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and
calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.
The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues
based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where
the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the
amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact
the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the
period in which such determination is made.
Management assesses
the realizability of deferred tax assets, by considering whether it
is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. See Note 26 for
details.

IFRS 8
requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information
about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or
aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria.
Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) such
function is carried out by the Group’s Executive Committee in
deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance,
without prejudice of the powers and responsibilities of the Board
of Directors. The CODM evaluates the business based on the
differences in the nature of its products, operations and risks.
The amount reported for each segment item is the measure reported
to the CODM for these purposes and later to the Board of Directors.
In turn, the Board of Directors’ management is assessed by
the Shareholders’ Meeting, which is the governance
body.
Operating segments
identified are disclosed as reportable segments if they meet any of
the following quantitative thresholds:
●
The
operating segment’s reported revenue, including both sales to
external customers and inter-segment sales or transfers, is ten per
cent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all
operating segments.
●
The
absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of
the greater, in absolute amount, of:
o
the
combined reported profit of all operating segments that do not
report a loss; and
o
the
combined reported loss of all operating segments that report a
loss.
●
Its
assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating
segments.
As well
as this, the operating segments that do not meet any of the
quantitative thresholds could be considered as reportable segments
if the management estimates that this information could be useful
for the users of the financial statements.

6. Segment
reporting (Continued)
If,
after determining reportable segments in accordance with the
preceding quantitative thresholds, the total external revenue
attributable to those segments amounts to less than 75% of the
total Group’s consolidated external revenue, additional
segments are identified as reportable segments, even if they do not
meet the thresholds described above, until at least 75% of the
Group’s consolidated external revenue is included in
reportable segments. Once the 75% of the Group’s consolidated
external revenue is included in reportable segments, the remaining
operating segments are aggregated in the “Other
segments” column.
Segment
information has been prepared and classified according to different
types of businesses in which the Group conducts its activities. The
Group´s Investment and Development Properties business is
comprised of the following segments:
●
The “Shopping
Centers” Segment includes
the operating results of the Group’s Shopping Centers portfolio
principally comprised of lease and service revenues from
tenants.
●
The “Offices and
others” Segment includes
the operating results of the Group’s lease and service
revenues of office space and other non-retail building properties
principally comprised of lease and service revenue from
tenants.
●
The “Sales and
Developments” Segment
includes the operating results of 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.
●
The “Financial operations and
others” segment primarily
includes the financial activities carried out by the associate
Tarshop S.A., the residual financial operations of its subsidiary
Apsamedia S.A. (currently merged with IRSA CP). The

6. Segment reporting
(Continued)
The
CODM evaluates performance of business segments based on segment
profit, defined as profit or loss from operations before financing
and taxation. The measurement principles for the segment reporting
structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the
consolidated financial statements, except for:
● The
operating income from the joint ventures Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A.
and Quality Invest S.A. are reported under the proportional
consolidation method. Under this method, the income/loss generated
by joint ventures is reported in the income statement line-by-line,
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, because the
assets and income/loss generated by consolidated operations are
similar to the assets and income/loss booked under the equity
method. This is due to the fact that under the proportional
consolidation method, revenues and expenses are reported
separately, instead of offsetting and reporting them as a single
item in the income statement. Therefore, the proportional
consolidation method is used by the CODM to assess and understand
the return and the results of operations of these businesses as a
whole.
Operating
results of Entertainment Holding S.A. joint venture is accounted
for under the equity method. Management believes that, in this
case, this method provides more adequate information for this type
of investment, where the main asset consists of an indirect
interest of 25% of la Rural S.A..
● Operating
results does not include the amounts pertaining to building
administration expenses and collective promotion funds, and so does
it exclude total recovered costs, whether by way of building
administration expenses or other concepts included under financial
results (for example default interest and other concepts) and not
analyzed to assess the operating performance of the segment. The
CODM examines the net amount from both concepts (total surplus or
deficit between building administration expenses and collective
promotion funds and recoverable expenses).
These
costs and income are presented now for reconciliation of all
segments and their respective consolidating operating
income.
Revenues
generated and goods and services exchanged between segments are
calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions
between segments, if any, are eliminated.

6. Segment
reporting (Continued)
The
following tables present a reconciliation between the total results
of operations corresponding to segment information and the results
of operations as per the statement of income. The adjustments are
related to the presentation of the results of joint ventures on an
equity-accounted basis under IFRS and the expenses and collective
promotion fund.

Information
about subsidiaries
General information
The
Group conducts its business through several operating and holding
subsidiaries. See the Group’s shareholding structure,
percentages of interest, materiality criteria and other relevant
information on the Group’s subsidiaries in Note
2.3.a).
See
Note 3 for information about acquisitions and disposals of
subsidiaries made during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015
and 2014.
Restrictions, commitments and other matters in respect of
subsidiaries
According to Law
N° 19,550 in which the Group operates, 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. Dividends are paid out across the Group’s
subsidiaries based on their individual accounting
statements.
Arcos del Gourmet
Injunction
order
In
December 2013, the Judicial Branch confirmed an injunction order
that suspended the opening of the Shopping Center on the grounds
that it did not have certain government permits in the context of
two legal proceedings, where a final decision has been rendered for
the company.

7. Information about subsidiaries
(Continued)
The
plaintiff filed a petition for the continuation of the preliminary
injunction by means of an extraordinary appeal of
unconstitutionality which was denied by the lower and appellate
courts; consequently, it filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of
Justice of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, which so far, has
not rendered a decision.
Nowadays, the
Shopping Center Distrito Arcos is open to the public and operating
normally.
Concession
Status
The
National State issued Executive Order 1723/2012, whereby several
plots of land located in prior rail yards of Palermo, Liniers and
Caballito rail stations ceased to be used for rail purposes, in
order to be used for development of integral urbanization
projects.
In this
respect and as part of several measures related to other licensed
persons and/or concessionaires, we have notified, in the file of
proceedings, of the corresponding Resolution 170/2014 revoking of
the Contract for Readjustment of the Concession of Rights of use
and Development number AF000261 issued by the Agencia de
Administración de Bienes del Estado (State Assets
Administration Office, or AABE in Spanish).
It
should further be pointed out that such measure:
(i) has not
been adopted due to non-compliance of the company;
(ii) to date
has not involved the interruption of the commercial development or
operation of the shopping center, which continues to operate under
normal conditions;
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Arcos del Gourmet S.A. has filed the relevant
administrative resources (appeal) and has also filed a judicial
action requesting that the revocation of such concession be
overruled.
Furthermore, it has
started a so-called “juicio de consignación”, that
is an action where the plaintiff deposits with the court sums of
money that the defendant refuses to accept. Under this legal
action, the company has deposited in due time and form all rental
payments under the Contract for Reformulation of the Concession of
Rights of Use and Development, which the Company considers to have
been unduly revoked.

Restrictions, commitments and other matters in respect of joint
ventures
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’s joint ventures have not reached the legal limit
of this reserve.
Quality Invest S.A.
In
March 2011, Quality subscribed an agreement of purchase for the
property of an industrial plant owned by Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C.
y F. (hereinafter “Nobleza”) located in San Martin,
Province of Buenos Aires. The facilities have the necessary
features and scales for multiple uses. The purchase price was
agreed on USD 33.0 million. At the same time, Quality subscribed a
lease agreement with Nobleza, by means of which Nobleza will rent
the property for a maximum term of 3 years. On March 2, 2015, an
Agreement Letter has been signed for the completion of lease
agreement and restitution of San Martín plant. On April 2011,
Quality requested the National Antitrust Commission to issue an
advisory opinion on the obligation to notify the operation or not.
Later, the Court of Appeals confirmed the CNDC’s decision
regarding the obligation to serve notice and consequently,
therefore, on February 23, 2012 local Form F1 was filed. On March
8, 2016 the CNDC resolves to authorize the economic concentration
transaction involving the acquisition of the industrial plant by
Quality Invest S.A.

8. Interests in joint ventures
(Continued)
As
authorized by the relevant Ordinance, on January 20, 2015 Quality
Invest S.A. entered into an Urbanization Agreement with the
Municipality of San Martín which governs several regulatory
aspects and sets forth a binding assignment of meters in exchange
for cash contributions subject to the formalization of certain
administrative milestones included in the rezoning process. The
Agreement contemplates a monetary compensation to the City Council
totaling Ps. 40.0 million, payable in two installments of Ps. 20.0
million each. The first of such installments was actually paid on
June 30, 2015.
On
January 5, 2016 the Official Bulletin of the Province of Buenos
Aires published the Order of Provincial Ratification (of the
Municipal Ordinance), whereby the urban parameters originally
requested entered into full force, thus concluding the legislative
enactment process.
Even
though validation is a condition precedent to the Agreement’s
effectiveness, the obligation to pay the second installment will
not become in force until the first drawing is registered with the
Dirección de Geodesia (Geodesy Office) of the province of
Buenos Aires. Quality is assessing several alternatives in order to
file the plan with the final project.
Entertainment Holdings S.A.
During
November 2012, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales acquired shares of
common stock, representing 50% of EHSA’s capital stock and
votes and, as a consequence, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales, holds a
jointly indirect interest in La Rural S.A. (LRSA) of 25% which
operates the fairground Predio Ferial de Buenos Aires.
In
connection with the Fairground, as publicly known, in December 2012
the National Executive Branch issued Executive Order 2552/12 that
annulled an executive order dated 1991 which had approved the sale
of the Fairground to the Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA); the effect
of this new order was to revoke the sale transaction. Subsequent,
on March 21, 2012, the National Executive Branch notified the SRA
of said executive order and further ordered that the property be
returned to the Federal Government within 30 subsequent days. Then,
the SRA issued a press release publicly disclosing the initiation
of legal actions. Furthermore, as it has become publicly known, on
August 21, 2013, the Supreme Court of Justice rejected the appeal
filed by the National State against the interim measure timely
requested by the SRA.
Neither
has IRSA Propiedades Comerciales been served notice formally nor is
it a party involved in the legal actions brought by the
SRA.

8. Interests in joint ventures
(Continued)
Given
the potential dimension of the dispute, as it has been known to the
public, we estimate that if Executive Order 2552/12 was found to be
unconstitutional, such order shall have no legal effects either in
EHSA or in the acquisition by IRSA Propiedades Comerciales of an
equity interest in EHSA. However, should the opposite happen, that
is, a court order declaring the nullity of Executive Order 2699/91,
could have a real impact on acquired assets. In this scenario, the
judicial decision may render the purchase of the Plot of Land by
SRA null and void , and all acts executed by SRA in relation to the
Plot of Land, including the right of use currently held by the
entity where EHSA has an indirect equity interest, through vehicle
entities, would also become null and void.
On June
1, 2015, a ruling was issued in case 4573/2012 SOCIEDAD RURAL
ARGENTINA vs. NATIONAL STATE – EXECUTIVE POWER ON DECLARATORY
ACTION, whereby the injunction staying the effects of Executive
Order 2552/12 was lifted.
On June
2, 2015 the SRA filed a writ of appeals against the ruling
indicated above and on that same date the appeal was admitted with
staying effects. While a decision on the appeal filed with the
Court is pending, the motion to lift the injunction filed by the
National State will have no effect.
On
September 17, 2015, the Court of Appeals, second chamber, decided
to reject the lifting of the injunction. Against this resolution
the National Government filed an Extraordinary Appeal. In November
2015, the Court of Appeals dismissed the extraordinary appeal filed
by the National Government.
There

Restrictions, commitments and other matters in respect of
associates
According to Law
N° 19,550 in which the Group operates, 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’s associate has not reached the
legal limit of this reserve.
Changes to the regulatory framework, economic context and its
consequences in Tarshop S.A.
Over
the past fiscal years, the BCRA modified certain aspects of the
regulatory framework of the business activity carried out by
Tarshop S.A.. Based on such changes, our associate is now
undergoing a realignment of their operations.
In
addition, during October 2014, Banco Hipotecario S.A. and IRSA
Propiedades Comerciales S.A. (Tarshop S.A.’s shareholders)
approved a gradual capitalization plan to be carried out pro rata
their holdings; the first amounted to Ps. 110 million, and was
capitalized on December 15, 2014; for the second, Ps. 355.0 million
have already been disbursed.

No-competition agreement for the sale of the equity interest in

in Tarshop S.A. to Banco Hipotecario S.A., made during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2011, the Group committed itself to not

Borrowing costs
incurred as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 of Ps. 12,957 and Ps. 22,376,
respectively, were capitalized at the rate of the Company’s
general borrowings, which amounts to 15%. Such costs correspond to
Alto Comahue. The capitalization of finance costs has ceased since
the completion of the shopping mall, therefore, no finance costs
were capitalized as of June 30, 2016.
Certain
of the Group’s investment properties have been mortgaged or
otherwise restricted to secure some of the Group’s borrowings
and other liabilities. The net book value of those properties as of
June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

(i)
A portion of the
Córdoba Shopping center property is encumbered with an
antichresis right as collateral for an advance rent received from
NAI International II Inc. amounting to Ps. 17.7 million and Ps. 3.3
million, as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The debt is
included in “Trade and other payables” in the statement
of financial position.
As of
June 30, 2016 and 2015 the fair value of investment properties
amounts to Ps. 24,657.84 million and Ps. 18,211.3 million
respectively. The fair values are based on comparable values of
certain qualified external appraisers (Level 2 of fair value
hierarchy) except in the case of shopping centers, where fair value
is based on the market capitalization valuation (Level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy). In the first case, sale prices of comparable
properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each
property, the most relevant premise being the square meter. In the
second case, the capitalization rates used also take into account
specific aspects of each property.

The
following tables show the carrying amounts of financial assets and
liabilities by category and a reconciliation to the corresponding
line item in the 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
advances, credits, 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 financial liabilities as of June 30, 2016 were as
follows:
|
Financial assets at amortized cost
|
|
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial
liabilities carried at amortized cost also include liabilities
under finance leases where the Group is the lessee and which
therefore have to be measured in accordance with IAS 17
“Leases”. Finance leases are excluded from the scope of
IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”. Therefore,
finance leases have been shown separately.

Determination of fair values
IFRS 9
defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for
which an asset could be exchanged, or a 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 in active
markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the
Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial
position. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with
sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price
information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted
price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair
value, this should always be used if available. The financial
instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise
equity investments, mutual funds, bonds and non-convertible notes
for which quoted prices in active markets are available. In the
case of shares, the Group allocates them to this level when either
a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price
quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.
In the
case of Level 2, fair value is determined by using valuation
methods based on inputs directly or indirectly observable in the
market. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this
level comprise foreign-currency forward contracts.
In the
case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on
inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar
as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect
the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which any
market player would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the
best available information for this, including internal company
data. The Group has determined that the investment in Avenida Inc.
and Arcos del Gourmet S.A.’s stock option are Level 3
financial instruments, with a fair value of Ps. 172,319 and zero at
the end of the year, respectively.

Trade and other receivables
(Continued)
The
fair values of current trade and other receivables approximate
their respective carrying amounts because, due to their short-term
nature, the impact of discounting is not considered significant.
Fair values are based on discounted cash flows.
Trade
receivables are generally presented in the statement of financial
position net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Impairment
policies and procedures by type of receivables are discussed in
detail in Note 2.15..
Movements on the
Group’s allowance for doubtful accounts and other receivables
are as follows:

(1) The waiver charge
amounts to Ps. 10 as of June 30, 2016.
The
allowance for doubtful accounts’ additions and unused amounts
reversed have been included in “Selling expenses” in
the statement of comprehensive income (Note 31). Amounts charged to
the allowance account are generally written off, when no recovery
is expected.
The
Group’s trade receivables comprise: shopping leases and
services, leases office and services, consumer financing and sale
of properties. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting
date is the carrying value of each class of receivables (Note
4).
The
Group has also receivables with related parties. Neither of which
are due nor impaired.
Due to
the distinct characteristics of each type of receivable, an aging
analysis of past due unimpaired and impaired receivables are shown
by type and class as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 (includes not past
due receivables to reconcile with the amounts in the statements of
financial position):

Leases and services receivables from investment
properties:
Trade
receivables related to leases and services from the shopping
centers and offices represent 98.3% and 97.8% of the Group’s
total trade receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The Group has a large customer base and is not dependent on any
single customer. Leases and services receivables that are not due
and for which no allowance has been recorded relate to a wide and
varied number of customers for whom there is no external credit
rating available. Most of these customers have reached a minimum
period of six months and have no previous non-compliance records.
New customers with less than six months are regularly monitored. At
the end of the year, the Group has not experience credit issues
with these new customers.
As of
June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Group provided for profit net with
respect to leases and services receivables for an amount of Ps.
11,235 and Ps. 12,405, respectively.
Consumer financing receivables:
Trade
receivables related to the residual activities of the Group
represent only 1.7% and 2.1% of the Group’s total trade
receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015,
respectively.

16. Trade
and other receivables (Continued)
As of
June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Group provided for recorded net gains
(losses) on impairment / (recovery) of consumer financing
receivables for an amount of Ps. 760 and Ps. (241), respectively.
The estimation of the credit risk is complex and requires the use
of rating and scoring models which are essential to measure default
risk. In measuring the consumption credit risks of credit purchases
made through credit cards and cash advances, the Company considers
two components: (i) the probability of default by client or
counterparty, and (ii) the likeable recovery rate of obligations in
arrears. The models are reviewed regularly to check their
effectiveness with respect to actual performance and, where
necessary, to enhance them.
Receivables from the sale of properties:
Trade
receivables related to the sale of properties represent 0.1% of the
Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Payments on these receivables are generally received when due and
are generally secured by mortgages on the properties, thus credit
risk on outstanding amounts is considered low.
During
the fiscal year there are no impaired receivables from the sale of
properties.

The
Group is subject to several Argentine laws, regulations and
business practices. In the ordinary course of business, the Group
is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to
existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings,
including those involving tax, labor and social security,
administrative and civil and other matters. The Group accrues
liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred
and it can reasonably estimate them. 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 effect on its results of operations and financial
condition or liquidity.

Included in the
item are certain amounts in respect of which the Group set up a
provision for different legal cases, none of which is considered
significant.
In
addition, the Group is a party to several legal proceedings,
including tax, work, civil, administrative and other kinds of
litigations, and therefore, has not set up any provision based on
the information assessed as of this date. In Management’s
opinion, the ultimate resolution in any pending or potential
matters, whether individually or collectively, will not have any
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial situation and
the results of the operations of the Group. Below is a description
of the primary matters pending:
Acquisition of the building known as ex- escuela Gobernador Vicente
de Olmos (City of Córdoba)
On
November 20, 2006, the Group through IRSA Propiedades Comerciales
acquired the building known as edificio ex-escuela Gobernador
Vicente de Olmos, located in the City of Córdoba through a
public bidding in the amount of Ps. 32,522. As explained in Note
27, this property is affected to a concession
contract.
After
the title deed was made, the government of the province of
Córdoba declared the property to be of public use and subject
to partial expropriation in order to be used exclusively for the
Libertador San Martín Theater.
IRSA
Propiedades Comerciales has answered a complaint in an action and
to challenge the law that declared such public interest on
unconstitutional grounds. In the alternative, it has challenged the
appraisal made by the plaintiff and, additionally, it has claimed
damages not included in the appraisal and resulting immediately and
directly from expropriation.
At June
30, 2016, the property is recorded under Investment
Properties.

Group holds an equity incentive plan, under which certain selected
employees, directors and top management of the Group, IRSA and
Cresud (the “Participants”). Engagement is voluntary
and by invitation of the Board of Directors.
This
plan was effectively established on September 30, 2011 and is
administered by the Board of Directors of the Group, IRSA and
Cresud, as appropriate, or a committee appointed by the Board of
Directors of the respective companies.
Initially, the
Incentive Plan established that Participants would be entitled to
receive shares (“Contributions”) of IRSA Propiedades
Comerciales, IRSA and Cresud, based on a percentage of the annual
bonus, on condition that they keep holding the acquired shares and
remain an employee of the Company for at least 5 years, among other
conditions required to qualify for such Contributions. Due to the
small number of transactions in the market it was not possible to
fulfill the formal aspects of the plan and as established by the
Shareholders’ Meeting the Board of IRSA Propiedades
Comerciales decided to modify certain conditions, including,
delivery of IRSA and Cresud shares (upon transfer of funds by IRSA
Propiedades Comerciales) to replace the shares of IRSA Propiedades
Comerciales, IRSA and Cresud.
Consequently,
shares shall be under the ownership of IRSA and Cresud, and as the
conditions established by the Plan are verified, such contributions
shall be transferred to the Participants.
Additionally, IRSA
Propiedades Comerciales’s Board of Directors resolved to
include a special one-off bonus composed of unrestricted shares
issued by IRSA for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2014, to
employees with 2 or more years of service.

Share-based payments
(Continued)
A
reserve has been set up in the Shareholders’ Equity to
reflect this plan. As a result of the amendments described above,
the reserve was reversed against Trade and other payables. As of
June 30, 2016, IRSA CP holds a credit in the amount of Ps. 23.5
million and IRSA CP´s subsidiaries a debt in the amount of Ps.
12.9 million. The amount accrued for the plans as of June 30, 2016
amounts to Ps. 64.2 million, while as of June 30, 2015 the debt
recognized as a result of this Incentive Plan amounted to Ps. 78.5
million, based on the market value of the shares to be granted
pertaining to the Group’s contributions, proportionately to
the period already elapsed for the vesting of shares in the
Incentive Plan and adjusted for the probability that any
beneficiary should leave the Group before the term and/or the
conditions required to qualify for the benefits of the plan are met
at fiscal year-end.
For the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Group has
incurred in a charge related to the Incentive Plan and the
extraordinary gratification of Ps. 16.4 million, Ps. 21.4 million
and Ps. 58.1 million, respectively, while the total cost not yet
recognized given that the vesting period has not yet elapsed is Ps.
17.4 million, Ps. 36.5 million and Ps. 41.5 million, respectively,
for each fiscal year. This cost is expected to be recognized over
an average period of 2 years.

Current
and deferred income tax
The
Group’s income tax has been calculated on the estimated
taxable profit for each year at the rates prevailing in the
respective tax jurisdictions. The subsidiaries of the Group in the
jurisdictions where the Group operates are required to calculate
their income taxes on a separate basis; thus, they are not
permitted to compensate subsidiaries’ losses against other
subsidiaries income.
The
details of the provision for the Group’s income tax are as

26. Current and deferred income tax
(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.
In
order to fully realize the deferred income tax asset, the Group
will need to generate taxable income in the countries where the net
operating losses were incurred. Based upon the level of historical
taxable income and projections for future over the years in which
the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes
that as the end of the present year it is probable that the Group
will realize all of the deferred income tax assets in Argentina and
Uruguay.
As of
June 30, 2016, the tax loss carry-forwards of the Group and the
jurisdictions which generated them are as follows:

The
Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of Ps. 16 and
Ps. 1,646 as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to
certain businesses which are still in their development stage.
Although management estimates that, once operational, the business
will generate sufficient income, pursuant to IAS 12, management has
determined that, as a result of the recent loss history and the
lack of verifiable and objective evidence due to the
subsidiary’s 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.
The
Group did not recognize deferred income tax liabilities of Ps.
170.8 million and Ps. 34.0 million as of June 30, 2016 and 2015,
respectively, related to the potential dividends distribution of
its investments in foreign subsidiaries, Torodur S.A.. In addition,
the withholdings and/or similar taxes paid at source may be
creditable against the Group’s potential final tax
liability.

Finance leases:
The
Group leases certain computer equipment under various finance
leases for an average term of three years. The book value of these
assets under financial leases is included in Note 11.
At the
commencement of the lease term, the Group recognizes a lease
liability equal to the carrying amount of the leased asset. In
subsequent periods, the liability decreases by the amount of lease
payments made to the lessors using the effective interest method.
The interest component of the lease payments is recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income. The book value of these
liabilities under finance leases is included in Note
23.
Lease
liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased
assets revert to the lessor in the event of default.

The Group as lessor
Operating leases:
●
Leases of shopping centers, office and other buildings
The
Group enters into cancellable operating leases agreements relating
to shopping centers. The agreements have an average term raging
from three to five years. Some leases related to anchor stores have
terms of ten years, which are usually extendable. Tenants normally
pay a rent which consists of the higher of (i) the base rent; and
(ii) the percentage rent (which generally ranges between 3% and 12%
of the tenants’ gross sales). Furthermore, pursuant to one
rent escalation clause in most lease arrangements, the
tenants’ base rent generally increases between 18% and 28%
each year during the agreement term. Regarding the supplementary
rental, because this item is not known until the end of the period,
it falls within the definition of contingency rental under IAS 17
"Leases". Accordingly, rental income will be recognized once the
contingent rent is known.
The
book value of assets and their accumulated amortization for such
leases are described in Note 10.
For the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the base and
contingent rental income of the Group’s shopping centers
amounted to Ps. 1,264,289, Ps. 929,063 and Ps. 746,666, and to Ps.
587,630, Ps. 461,394 and Ps. 329,258, respectively, and are
included under “Income from sales, rents and services”
in the statement of comprehensive income.
Additionally, the
Group, through IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A., owns a shopping
center property known as "Patio Olmos" in the Province of
Córdoba, Argentina. The Group leases this property to a third
party shopping center operator under an operating lease agreement
expiring in 2032. The lease provides for fixed monthly payments,
adjusted pursuant to a rent escalation clause. Rental income for
the years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 amounted to Ps. 4,196,
Ps. 181 and Ps. 151, respectively, and is included in the line item
“Income from sales, rents and services” in the
statement of comprehensive income.
The
Group also enters into cancellable operating leases agreements
relating to offices and other buildings. These agreements have an
average term raging from three to five years. The tenants are
charged a base rent on a monthly basis.

Share capital and premium
The
share capital of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales was originally
represented by common shares with a nominal value of Ps. 0.1 per
share and one vote each. On December 18, 2012, the Superintendence
of Corporations registered an amendment to the Company’s
by-laws whereby it increased the nominal value of its shares from
Ps. 0.1 to Ps. 1 each. This amendment, which was notified through
the CNV, was registered under number 20,264 of Stock Companies Book
62 T°. The request
for Transfer of Public Offering and Listing has been submitted and
is still pending approval in the CNV for the increase in nominal
value of shares from Ps. 0.1 to Ps. 1 each.
There
have been no changes to capital accounts as of June 30, 2016 and
2015.

Inflation Adjustment of Share Capital
Under
Argentine GAAP, 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.

(Continued)
Legal reserve
According to Law
N° 19,550, 5% of the profit of the year is destined to
constitute legal reserves until they reach legal capped amount (20%
of share capital). This legal reserve is not available for dividend
distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The
Group has reached the legal limit of these reserves.
Reserve for new developments
The
Company and subsidiaries may separate portions of their profits of
the year to constitute voluntary reserves according to company law
and practice. These special reserves may be for general purposes or
for specific uses such as new developments. The voluntary reserves
may be released for dividend distribution.
Special Reserve
Pursuant to CNV
General Ruling N° 609/12, the Company set up a special reserve
reflecting the positive difference between the balance of retained
earnings disclosed in the first closing of the last financial
statements prepared in accordance with previously effective
accounting standards. This reserve may not be used to make
distributions in kind or in cash, and may only be reversed to be
capitalized to absorb potential negative balances in Retained
Earnings.
Dividends
The
dividends paid for the year ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014
amounts to Ps. 283,580 (Ps. 0.23 per share), Ps. 437,193 (Ps. 0.35
per share) and Ps. 407,522 (or Ps. 0.32 per share),
respectively.
Expired dividends
During
the year do not expired dividends not yet paid from prior years.
Furthermore, during the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 expired
Ps. 813 and Ps. 1,690, respectively.

The
following section provides a brief description of the main
transactions conducted with related parties which are not described
in other notes of these consolidated financial
statements:
1.
Remuneration
of the Board of Directors
The Law
N° 19,550 provides that the remuneration of the Board of
Directors, where it is not set forth in the Company’s
by-laws, shall be fixed by the Shareholders' Meetings. The maximum
amount of remuneration that the members of the Board are allowed to
receive, including salary and other performance-based remuneration
of permanent technical-administrative functions, may not exceed 25%
of the profits.
Such
maximum amount will be limited to 5% where no dividends are
distributed to the Shareholders, and will be increased
proportionately to the distribution, until reaching such cap where
the total of profits is distributed.
Some of
our Directors are hired under the Employment Contract Act N°
20,744. This Act rules on certain conditions of the work
relationship, including remuneration, salary protection, working
hours, vacations, paid leaves, minimum age requirements, workmen
protection and forms of suspension and contract
termination.
The
remuneration of directors for each fiscal year is based on the
provisions established by the Law N° 19,550, taking into
consideration whether such directors perform
technical-administrative functions and depending upon the results
recorded by the Company during the fiscal year. Once such amounts
are determined, they should be approved by the Shareholders’
Meeting.
2.
Senior
Management remuneration
The
members of the Senior or Top Management are appointed and removed
by the Board of Directors, and perform functions in accordance with

3.
Corporate
Service Agreement with Cresud and IRSA
In due
course, given that the Group, IRSA and Cresud have operating areas
with certain characteristics of affinity, the Board of Directors
considered it was convenient to implement alternatives that allows
to reduce certain fixed costs, with the aim of reducing their
incidence on the operating results, building on and enhancing the
individual efficiencies of each of the companies in the different
areas that form part of operating administration.
To such
end, on June 30, 2004, a Master Agreement for the Exchange of
Corporate Services (“Frame Agreement") was entered into
between IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A., IRSA and Cresud, which
was amended several times to bring it in line with the current
context. The agreement has a term of 24 months, is renewable
automatically for equal periods, unless it is terminated by any of
the parties upon prior notice.
Under
the current Master Agreement corporate services are provided in 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 this
agreement, the companies hired an external consulting firm to
review and evaluate half-yearly 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.
It
should be noted that the operations indicated above allows both
Group IRSA and Cresud to keep our strategic and commercial
decisions fully independent and confidential, with cost and profit
apportionment being made on the basis of operating efficiency and
equity, without pursuing individual economic benefits for any of
the companies.
The
Group hires legal services from Estudio Zang, Bergel &
Viñes, from which Saúl Zang is a partner and sits at the
Board of Directors of the Group companies.

These
agreements usually establish different refund percentages for those
clients that make purchases at all the participating stores using
the means of payment specific of each financial entity and, on
occasions, additional financing plans with interest-free
installments. The cost of the refunds granted to the clients is
generally distributed as a percentage among the lessors of the
shopping centers and the financial entities, while the cost of
interest-free financing is borne, in general, by the latter. The
Group acts as an intermediary and is in charge of the
lessors’ engagement and the advertising of these promotions.
This activity results in no money flows or transfer of revenues or
costs between the Group and its related parties.
On
certain occasions, the Group hires hospitality and event venue
rental services from Nuevas Fronteras S.A., Hoteles Argentinos S.A.
and Llao Llao Resorts S.A., all subsidiaries of our parent company

IRSA PROPIEDADES COMERCIALES S.A.
Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements (Continued)
(All
amounts in thousands of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per
share data and as otherwise indicated)
The
Group generally enters into barter transactions with third-party
developers in the ordinary course of business. By virtue of these
transactions, the Group generally exchanges undeveloped plots of
land for units to be constructed and received in the future.
Following is a description of pending transactions that have not
yet been perfected by the third parties as of June 30,
2016:
Beruti
On
October 13, 2010, the Group and TGLT, entered into an agreement to
barter a plot of land located at Beruti 3351/59 in the city of
Buenos Aires for cash and future residential apartments to be
constructed by TGLT on the mentioned land. The transaction, which
was subject to certain precedent conditions including the
completion by TGLT of its initial public offering, was agreed upon
at USD 18.8 million. TGLT plans to construct an apartment building
with residential and commercial parking space. In consideration,
TGLT will transfer to IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. (i) a
number of apartments to be determined representing 17.33% of total
square meters of residential space; (ii) a number of parking spaces
to be determined representing 15.82% of total square meters of
parking space; (iii) all spaces reserved for commercial parking in
the future building and (iv) the amount of USD 10.7 million payable
upon delivering the deeds of title on the land. TGLT completed its
initial public offering in the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange on
October 29, 2010 and therefore the precedent condition for the
transaction was fulfilled on that date. TGLT paid the mentioned USD
10.7 million on November 5, 2010. On December 16, 2010, the title
deed to the Beruti plot of land was executed. To secure performance
of obligations assumed by TGLT under the deed of sale, a mortgage
was granted in favor of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales.
An
association named Asociación Amigos Alto Palermo presented an
injunction requesting that the construction is prohibited and
obtained a suspension interim measure for this purpose. Later, the
Court of Appels from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires ordered
the lifting of such interim measure. On December 4, 2013 the
delivery terms for committed units were extended for 11 months and
on November 4, 2014 a new 11 month extension was signed. On June
11, 2015 final judgment was rendered in favor of IRSA CP and
TGLT.

39. Barter transactions
(Continued)
Conil
On
November 5, 2014, the Group executed a conveyance deed evidencing a
barter and mortgage transaction in favor of Darío Palombo
(acting as Trustee of “Fideicomiso Esquina Guemes”) to
convey title on four plots of land located in Avellaneda district.
The agreement provides for the development by the Trust of two
building construction undertakings. In consideration for such work,
the compensation agreed included the amount of USD 0.01 million and
delivery, within 24 months as from such agreement execution, of two
functional units for commercial purposes and one functional unit
for office purposes (the non-monetary compensation was valued at
USD 0.7 million).
Coto Residential Project
The
Group is owner of an air space of approximately 23,000 square
meters area on top of Hipermercado Coto near the Abasto Shopping
Center at the heart of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. On
September 24, 1997, the Group and Coto Centro Integral de
Comercialización S.A. (Coto) granted a title deed by which the
Group acquired the rights to receive the parking spaces and the
rights to increase the height of the building located between the
Agüero, Lavalle, Guardia Vieja and Gallo streets, in the
Abasto neighborhood.
On June
2016, a conditional Exchange Agreement was executed for a one year
term, to be later formalized through the execution of a conveyance
deed. The project will be a residential development for a
consideration of apartments covering an area of 3,621 square meters
plus USD 1 million. The consideration will be delivered no later
than June 2021 for Tower I, and no later than September 2022 for
Tower II. The value in the bill of sale was set at USD 7.5
million.
Córdoba Shopping Project
The
Group owns a plot of land next to Córdoba Shopping, with
building capacity of approximately 17,300 square meters, at the
heart of Cordoba City.
In May
2016, an Exchange Agreement was executed for a building capacity of
13,500 square meters, subject to conditions for a term of one year,
after which it may be formalized through a title conveyance deed.
The project will be a mixed development, combining residential and
office space, and the consideration will include apartments
covering 2,160 square meters, parking space, and procedures to
obtain permits, combinations and subdivisions of 3 plots of land.
Delivery of the consideration will take place no later than May
2021 for Tower I and no later than July 2023 for Tower II. The
Exchange Value was set at USD 4 million.

39. Barter transactions
(Continued)
The two
mentioned contracts that are part of the Coto residential project
and the Córdoba Shopping exchange project include conditions
precedent and/or suspensive clauses. Since suspensive clauses have
not materialized yet, the real property involved is classified as
trading properties.
40. CNV
General Ruling N° 629/14 – Storage of
documentation
On
August 14, 2014, the Argentine Securities Exchange Commission (CNV)
issued General Resolution N° 629 whereby it introduced
amendments to rules related to storage and conservation of
corporate books, accounting books and commercial documentation. In
this sense, it should be noted that the Group has entrusted the
storage of certain non-sensitive and old information to the
following providers:

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