Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts in millions, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)

1.
The Group’s business and general information
 
Cresud was founded in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company primarily engaged in providing rural and urban loans in Argentina and administering real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, the shares of Cresud were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders. From the 1960s through the end of the 1970s, the business of Cresud shifted exclusively to agricultural activities.
 
In 2002, Cresud acquired a 19.85% interest in IRSA, a real estate company related to certain shareholders of Cresud. In 2009, Cresud increased its ownership percentage in IRSA to 55.64% and IRSA became Cresud’s directly principal subsidiary.
 
Cresud and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Group.
 
IFISA is the parent company and is a corporation established and domiciled in Uruguay, and IFIS Limited is the ultimate parent company.
 
These Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on February 9, 2018.
 
As of December 31, 2017, the Group operates in two major lines of business: (i) agricultural business and (ii) urban properties and investments business, which is divided into two operations centers: (a) Operations Center in Argentina and (b) Operations Center in Israel. They are developed through several operating companies and the main ones are listed below:

Summary of significant accounting policies
 
2.1.
Basis of preparation of the Unaudited Financial Statements
 
The current Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", therefore, should be read together with the Annual Financial Statements of the Group as of June 30, 2017, prepared in accordance with IFRS in force. Furthermore, these Financial Statements include supplementary information required by Law N° 19,550 and/or regulations of CNV. Such information is included in notes to the Financial Statements according to IFRS.
 
These Financial Statements corresponding to the six-month periods ended as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 have not been audited. The management considers they include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period. Results for the six-month periods ended as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group’s full year results.
 
Under IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, the Financial Statements of an entity whose functional currency belongs to a hyperinflationary economy, regardless of whether they apply historic cost or current cost methods, should be stated at the current unit of measure as of the date of this Consolidated Financial Statements. For such purpose, in general, inflation is to be computed in non-monetary items from the acquisition or revaluation date, as applicable. In order to determine whether an economy is to be considered hyperinflationary, the standard lists a set of factors to be taken into account, including an accumulated inflation rate near or above 100% over a three year period.
 
For the Group's business in Argentina, considering the released inflation data, the declining inflation trend and in view that all other indicators do not lead to a final conclusion, the Management understands that there is no enough evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy. Therefore, no restatement has been applied on financial information, as set forth by IAS 29, for the reported periods. However, over the last years, certain macroeconomic variables, such as payroll costs and goods prices, have experienced significant annual changes, which should be taken into consideration in assessing and interpreting the financial situation and results of operations of the Group in these Financial Statements.
 
The consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of Argentine Pesos. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references to ‘Peso amounts’ or ‘Ps.’, are in Argentine Pesos, references to ‘US$’ or ‘US Dollar’ are in millions of United States dollars, references to ‘Rs.’ are in millions of Brazilian Reais and references to "NIS" are in millions of New Israeli Shekel.
 
 
2.2
Significant accounting policies
 
The accounting policies applied in the presentation of these Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements under IFRS as described in Note 2 to the Annual Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017.
 
 
2.2.a) 
Changes to Financial Statements previously issued due to change in accounting policies
 
As mentioned in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 the Group’s Board of Directors decided to change the accounting policy for investment property from cost model to fair value model, as permitted under IAS 40. Therefore, the previously issued Interim Financial Statements were retroactively changed as required by IAS 8.
 
The tables below include the reconciliation between the Statements of Income and of the Statements of Comprehensive Income / (Operations) for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2016 as they were originally issued, and the statements included in these Financial Statements for comparative purposes. There is no impact on the relevant total amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

2.2.b) 
Changes in the presentation of Financial Statements previously issued due to change in accounting policies
 
Expenses relating to the agricultural activity include items as planting, harvesting, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers, veterinary services and others. The Group chose not to continue to charge these costs to income as they are incurred; instead, it capitalized them as part of the cost of biological assets. The Group believes this change will help to better understand the performance of the agribusiness activity and therefore provides more relevant information to Management, users of the Financial Statements and others.
 
The Group has therefore retroactively changed the previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as required by IAS 8. There is no impact on the total and subtotal amounts of the Financial Statements.
 
 
2.3
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of Financial Statements at a certain date requires the Management of the Group to make estimations and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these Financial Statements.
 
In the preparation of these Unaudited Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same applied by the Group in the preparation of the annual Financial Statements for the year ended as of June 30, 2017, as described in Note 5 to those Financial Statements.
 
 
2.4
Comparability of information
 
Amounts as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 which are disclosed for comparative purposes have been taken from Financial Statements then ended, except for changes described in Notes 2.2.a) and 2.2.b).
 
 
3.
Seasonal effects on operations
 
Agricultural business
 
Some of the Group’s businesses are more affected by seasonal effects than others. The operations of the Group’s agricultural business are subject to seasonal effects. The harvests and sale of grains in Argentina generally take place each year since March in the case of corn and soybean, since October in the case of wheat, and since December in the case of sunflower. In Brazil, the harvest and sale of soybean take place since February, and in the case of corn weather conditions make it possible to have two seasons, therefore the harvest take place between March and July. In Bolivia, weather conditions also make it possible to have two soybean, corn and sorghum seasons and, therefore, these crops are harvested in July and May, whereas wheat is harvested in August and September, respectively. In the case of sugarcane, harvest and sale take place between April and November of each year. Other segments of the agricultural business, such as beef cattle and milk production tend to be more stable. However, beef cattle and milk production is generally larger during the second quarter, when conditions are more favorable. As a result, there may be material fluctuations in the agricultural business results across quarters.
 
Urban properties and investments business
 
Operations Center in Argentina
 
The operations of the Group’s shopping malls are subject to seasonal effects, which affect the level of sales recorded by lessees. During summer time in Argentina (January and February), the lessees of shopping malls experience the lowest sales levels in comparison with the winter holidays (July) and Christmas and year-end holidays celebrated in December when they tend to record peaks of sales. Apparel stores generally change their collections during the spring and the fall, which impacts positively on shopping mall sales. Sale discounts at the end of each season also impact the business. As a consequence, for shopping mall operations, a higher level of business activity is expected in the period ranging between July and December, compared to the period between January and June.

Operations Center in Israel
 
The operations of the Supermarket chain are subject to fluctuations of quarterly sales and income due to the increase in activity during religious holidays in different quarters throughout the year. For instance, in Pesaj (Passover) between March and April, and Rosh Hashaná (Jewish New Year), sometime between September and October each year.
 
The results of operations of Telecommunications and Tourism are also usually affected by seasonality in summer months in Israel and by the Jewish New Year, given a higher consumption due to internal and external tourism.

Operations Center in Israel
 
Purchase of DIC shares by Dolphin
 
As mentioned in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017, in connection with the Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Concentration Law in Israel, after June 30, 2017, Dolphin Netherlands B.V. made a non-binding tender offer for the acquisition of all DIC shares held by IDBD. For purposes of the transaction, a committee of independent directors has been set up to assess the tender offer and negotiate the terms and conditions. The Audit Committee has issued an opinion without reservations as to the transaction in accordance with the terms of section 72 et al. of the Capital Markets Law N° 26,831.

               In November 2017, Dolphin IL Investments Ltd. (Dolphin IL), a subsidiary of Dolphin Netherlands B.V., has subscribed the final documents for the acquisition of the total shares owned by IDBD in DIC.
 
 
The transaction has been made for an amount of NIS 1,843 (equivalent to NIS 17.20 per share of DIC). The consideration was paid NIS 70 in cash (equivalent to Ps. 348 as of the date of the transaction) and NIS 1,773 million (equivalent to Ps. 8,814 as of the date of the transaction) were financed by IDBD to Dolphin, maturing in five years, with the possibility of an extension of three additional years in tranches of one year each, that will accrue an initial interest of 6.5% annually, which will increase by 1% annually in case of extension for each annual tranche. Furthermore, guarantees have been implemented for IDBD, for IDBD bondholders and their creditors, through pledges of different degree of privilege over DIC shares resulting from the purchase. Moreover, a pledge will be granted in relation to 9,636,097 (equivalent to 6.38%) of the shares of DIC that Dolphin currently holds in the first degree of privilege in favor of IDBD and in second degree of privilege in favor of IDBD's creditors. This transaction has no effect in the Groups consolidation structure and has been accounted in equity as a decrease in the equity attributable to the parent for an amount of Ps. 72.
 
 
It should be noted that the financial position of IDBD and its subsidiaries at the Operations Center in Israel does not affect the financial position of IRSA and subsidiaries at the Operations Center in Argentina. In addition, the commitments and other covenants resulting from IDBD’s financial debt do not have impact on IRSA since such indebtedness has no recourse against IRSA and it is not granted by IRSA’s assets.
 
Purchase of IDBD shares by IFISA
 
In December 2017, Dolphin Netherlands BV (Dolphin), has executed a stock purchase agreement for all of the shares that IFISA held of IDBD, which amounted to 31.7% of the capital stock. In this way, as of the end of December 31, 2017, Dolphin holds the 100% of IDBD's shares.
 
The transaction was made at a price of NIS 398 (equivalent to NIS 1.894 per share and approximately to Ps. 1,968 as of the date of the transaction). As consideration of the transaction all receivables from IFISA to Dolphin have been canceled plus a payment of USD 33.7 (equivalents to Ps. 588 as of the date of the transaction). This transaction was accounted in equity as a decrease in the equity attributable to the parent for an amount of Ps. 1,853.
 
Tender offer for Clal
 
In July 2017, IDBD received a non-binding offer from an international group for the potential acquisition of its entire interest in Clal. The consideration will be based on the equity value of Clal, in accordance with Clal Financial Statement at the time of completing the transaction and is subject to the performance of a due diligence and the execution of an agreement, as well as obtaining the approvals required by law. IDBD is analyzing the offer. On June 30, 2017, this value amounted to NIS 4,880 (equivalent to approximately Ps. 23,278 as of the date of these Financial Statements), at the proportionate equity interest as of the date of the transaction. In November 2017 the period for the parties to execute an agreement for the sale of the shares, has expired. However, the parties continue negotiating according to the principles of the initial proposal. There is no certainty that the offer will go forward under the terms proposed, or that the transaction will be completed.
 
Sale of Shufersal shares
 
On December 24, 2017, DIC sold shares of Shufersal, in a manner whereby its equity interest decreased from 53.30% to 50.12%. The consideration with respect to the sale of the aforementioned shares amounted to approximately NIS 169.5 (equivalent to Ps. 847 as of the date of the transaction). This transaction was accounted in equity as an increase in the equity attributable to the parent for an amount of Ps. 244.
 
Acquisition of New Pharm
 
As mentioned in Note 3.G to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017, Shufersal entered into an agreement for the purchase of the shares of New Pharm Drugstores Ltd. ("New Pharm"), representative of 100% of that Company’s share capital. On December 20, 2017, the transaction was completed and Shufersal is the sole shareholder of New Pharm, after the sale of one of its stores and the approval by the antitrust committee. The total consideration was NIS 151 (equivalent to Ps. 734 as of the date of the transaction).

IDBD has the right to make an early repayment, total or partial. As a collateral for the full compliance of all the commitments IDBD has placed approximately 60.4 million shares in DIC under a single fixed charge of first line and, in an unlimited amount, in favor of the trustee for the holders of the NCN.
(2)
Corresponds to an expansion of the series.
 
DIC: On September 28, 2017 DIC offered the holders of Series F NCN to swap their notes for Series J NCN. Series J NCN terms and conditions differ substantially from those of Series F. Therefore, DIC recorded the payment of Series F NCN and recognized a new financial commitment at fair value for Series J NCN. As a result of the swap, DIC recorded a loss resulting from the difference between the Series F NCN cancellation value and the new debt value in the amount of approximately NIS 461 (equal to approximately Ps. 2,228 as of that date), which was accounted for under “Finance costs” (Note 25).
 
IDBD: On November 28, 2017, IDBD made an early redemption of the Series L NCN for an amount of NIS 424 (or Ps. 2,120 as of the transaction date).

Taxation
 
Argentine tax reform
 
On December 27, 2017, the Argentine Congress approved the Tax Reform, through Law No. 27,430, which was enacted on December 29, 2017, and has introduced many changes to the income tax treatment applicable to financial income. The key components of the Tax Reform are as follows:
 
Dividends: Tax on dividends distributed by Argentine companies would be as follows: (i) dividends originated from profits obtained before fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 will not be subject to withholding tax; (ii) dividends derived from profits generated during fiscal years of the Company ending June 30, 2019 and 2020 paid to argentine individuals and/or foreign residents, will be subject to a 7% withholding tax; and (iii) dividends originated from profits obtained during fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 onward will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 13%.
 
Income tax: Corporate income tax would be gradually reduced to 30% for fiscal years commencing after January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, and to 25% for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2020, inclusive.

Presumptions of dividends: Certain facts will be presumed to constitute dividend payments, such as: i) withdrawals from shareholders, ii) shareholders private use of property of the company, iii) transactions with shareholders at values different from market values, iv) personal expenses from shareholders or shareholder remuneration without substance.
 
Revaluation of assets: The regulation establishes that, at the option of the companies, tax revaluation of assets is permitted for assets located in Argentina and affected to the generation of taxable profits. The special tax on the amount of the revaluation depends on the asset, being (i) 8% for real estate not classified as inventories, (ii) 15% for real estate classified as inventories, (iii) 5% for shares, quotas and equity interests owned by individuals and (iv) 10% for the rest of the assets. As of the date of these Financial Statements, the Group has not exercised the option. The gain generated by the revaluation is exempted according to article 291 of Law 27,430 and, the additional tax generated by the revaluation is not deductible.
 
In addition, the argentine tax reform contemplates other amendments regarding the following matters: social security contributions, tax administrative procedures law, criminal tax law, tax on liquid fuels, and excise taxes, among others. As of the date of presentation of these Financial Statements, many aspects are pending regulation by the National Executive Power.
 
US tax reform
 
In December 2017, a bill was passed to reform the federal taxation law in the United States. The reform included a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, for the tax years 2018 and thereafter. The reform has impact in certain subsidiaries of the Group in the United States.

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

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 (N.T. 2013 as amended) are available at the registered office.
 
On February 5, 2014 there was a widely known fire in Iron Mountain’s warehouse, which company is a supplier of the Group and where Group’s documentation was being kept. Based on the internal review carried out by the Group, duly reported to the CNV on February 12, 2014, the information kept at the Iron Mountain premises that were on fire do not appear to be sensitive or capable of affecting normal operations.

Subsequent events
 
Sale of Clal shares
 
On January 1, 2018, continuing with the instructions given by the Commissioner of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings of Israel, IDBD has sold 5% of its stake in Clal through a swap transaction, in accordance with the same principles that applied to the swap transactions made and informed to the market on May and August 2017.
 
The consideration was set at an amount of approximately NIS 170.5 (equivalent to approximately Ps. 852). After the completion of the transaction, IDBD’s interest in Clal was reduced to 39.8% of its share capital.
 
 
Israir
 
On January 10, 2019, the Anti-Trust Authority communicated IDBD its objection to the transaction between Sun D’or and Israir, described in note 4.f to the consolidated Financial Statements. The Group is evaluating in depth the reasons for the objection and the decision regarding whether to appeal.
 
 
Transfer of shares of Cellcom
 
On January 22, 2018 DIC transferred 5% of Cellcom’s shares (the “Transferred Shares”), by way of a loan transaction in equal parts to two private companies incorporated in Israel, which are related parties to the Group. The agreement will be in effect from the date of its closing until December 31, 2018 and will be extended automatically for a year, until it is terminated in accordance with its terms. DIC will be entitled to terminate the agreement at any time, in its discretion, and to receive back all or some of the Transferred Shares. The Israeli entities will not be entitled to transfer the Transferred Shares to any entity whatsoever without DIC’s consent. The Israeli entities will together be entitled to appoint 10% of Cellcom directors (i.e., as of the present date - one director). Additionally, the Israeli entities and the designated director will undertake to vote, together with DIC, on all resolutions which will be presented to Cellcom’s general meeting. Furthermore, the economic benefits of the Transferred Shares will be kept by DIC. The Transferred Shares are pledged in favor of DIC.
 
 
Shufersal Corporate Notes
 
On January 22, 2018, Shufersal issued an expansion of Series E corporate notes of NIS 544 for a total gross consideration of NIS 567 (equivalent to Ps. 2,835 as of the date of the transaction).
 
 
Cellcom Corporate Notes
 
On January 24, 2018, Cellcom issued Serie L corporate notes at par value of NIS 401 million for a total net consideration of NIS 396 (equivalent to $1,980 as of the date of the transaction).
 
 
Eurocom purchase offer
 
On February 4, 2018, DIC made a binding offer for the acquisition in stages of Eurocom Communications Ltd ("Eurocom"), a private Israeli group whose business is developed in the communications, real estate and renewable energy industries. Eurocom is Bezeq's parent company (Israel's leading telecommunications company). The proposal must be approved by Eurocom and by the authorities and creditors involved in the Eurocom debt restructuring process. Should the proposal succeed, this transaction requires the approval of different regulatory authorities and a disinvestment of the Group's interest in Cellcom.
 
 
Las Londras farm
 
On January 9, 2018, the INRA released a preliminary report declaring that Las Londras farm, among other properties in the region, would be located within the area of the “Guarayos Forestry Reserve”. Consequently, the private property should be reduced to 50 hectares, while the remaining acreage would be reverted upon conclusion of the administrative claims filed by the company. It should be noted that administrative defenses may be raised and court actions may be subsequently filed to defend the ownership of the land. The relevant administrative filings have already been made, and at present, the various courses of action and defenses against the referred report are being analyzed, while meetings are being held with members of associations and farmers affected by this situation.

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
Legal address: Moreno 877 – 23°floor
Autonomous City Buenos Aires
Tax Code No. 30-50930070-0
 
Introduction
 
We have reviewed the unaudited condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria and its subsidiaries (hereinafter “the Company”) which included the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes.
 
The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and the interim periods within that fiscal year are an integral part of these Financial Statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to those Financial Statements.
 
Management responsibility
 
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) as professional accounting standards and added by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and , for this reason, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements above mentioned in the first paragraph according to the International Accounting Standard No 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34).
 
Scope of our review
 
Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established in the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as a review standard in Argentina in Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE, without modification as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries of persons responsible for the preparation of the information included in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated Financial Statements, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Company.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements
(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share data, and as otherwise indicated)
Free translation from the original prepared in Spanish for publication in Argentina
 
 
1.
General information
 
Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (“Cresud” or the “Company”) was founded in 1936 as a subsidiary of Credit Foncier, a Belgian company primarily engaged in providing rural and urban loans in Argentina and administering real estate holdings foreclosed by Credit Foncier. Credit Foncier was liquidated in 1959, and as part of such liquidation, the shares of Cresud were distributed to Credit Foncier’s shareholders. From the 1960s through the end of the 1970s, the business of Cresud shifted exclusively to agricultural activities.
 
Cresud is a company organized and domiciled in the Republic of Argentina. The address of its registered office is Moreno 877, 23rd Floor, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
 
These Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on February 9, 2018.
 
2.
Basis of preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements
 
2.1.
Basis of preparation
 
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", therefore, should be read together with the Annual Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 2017, prepared in accordance with IFRS in force. Furthermore, these Financial Statements include supplementary information required by Law N° 19,550 and/or regulations of CNV. Such information is included in notes to the Financial Statements, according to IFRS.
 
These Financial Statements corresponding to the six-month periods ended as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 have not been audited. The management considers they include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period. Results for the six-month periods ended as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 do not necessarily reflect proportionally the Company’s results for the complete fiscal years.
 
2.1.a) Changes to financial statements previously issued due to change in accounting policies
 
As mentioned in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 the Company’s Board of Directors decided to change the accounting policy for investment property from cost model to fair value model, as permitted under IAS 40 "investment properties". The Company believes this change reflects better the current value of its core assets and therefore provides more relevant information to Management, users of financial statements and others.
 
Therefore, the previously issued Financial Statements were retroactively changed as required by IAS 8.
 
2.1.b) Changes in presentation of financial statements previously issued due to change in accounting policies
 
Expenses relating to the agricultural activity include items as planting, harvesting, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers, veterinary services and others. The Company chose not to continue to charge these costs to income as they are incurred; instead, it capitalized them as part of the cost of biological assets. The Company believes this change will help to better understand the performance of the agribusiness activity and therefore provides more relevant information to Management, users of the Financial Statements and others.

Cresud Sociedad Anónima,
Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
The Company has therefore retroactively changed the previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements as required by IAS 8. There is no impact on the total and subtotal amounts of the Financial Statements.
 
The tables below include reconciliations between the Statements of Comprehensive Income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2016 as they were originally issued, and these Financial Statements (recast). There is no impact on the relevant total amounts in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
 
2.2.
Significant accounting policies
 
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the Annual Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017, except for the changes mentioned in Note 2.1.a) and 2.1.b).
 
2.3.
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires the Management to make estimations and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Future results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements.
 
In the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by Management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same applied by the Company in the preparation of the Separate Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, except for changes in provisions for income tax, for legal claims and for doubtful accounts.
 
3.
Seasonal effects on operations
 
The operations of the Company are also subject to seasonal effects. The harvests and sale of grains (corn, soybean and sunflower) generally take place between January and September every year. Wheat is generally harvested between November and February every year. However, milk production is generally larger during the second quarter, when conditions are more favorable. As a result, there may be material fluctuations in the agricultural business results each quarter.
 
4.
Acquisitions and disposals
 
On November 9, 2017 Cresud sold to a non-related party 154,929 shares of its subsidiary FyO, representing 9,493% of FyO’s capital stock for an amount of US$ 3.04, which were collected in full. As a result, Cresud reduced its equity interest in FyO from 59.6% to 50.1%.
 
This transaction generated a gain (net of taxes) of Ps. 24.3 in the separate financial statements.
 
See summary of acquisitions and additional disposals of the Company for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 in Note 4 to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
5.
Financial risk management and fair value estimates
 
5.1.            
Financial risk
 
The Company’s activities are exposed to several financial risks, market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
 
The Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures of the risk management, so they should be read together with the Annual Separate Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017. There have been no significant changes in the risk management or risk management policies applied by the Company since the fiscal year.
 
5.2.            
Fair value estimates
 
Since June 30, 2017, to the balance sheet date, there have been no significant changes in business or economic circumstances affecting the fair value of the Company's financial assets, liabilities or biological assets (either measured at fair value or amortized cost). Nor there have been transfers between the several hierarchies used in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, or reclassifications among their respective categories.

The fair value of current trade and other receivables approximate their respective carrying amounts because, due to their short-term nature, as the impact of discounting is not considered significant. Fair values are based on discounted cash flows (Level 2 of fair value hierarchy).
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s trade and other receivables denominated in foreign currencies are detailed in Note 28.
 
Trade receivables are generally presented in the statement of financial position net of allowances for doubtful receivables. Impairment policies and procedures by type of receivables are discussed in detail in Note 2.16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017.
 
Movements on the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:

The addition and release of allowance for doubtful accounts have been included in “Selling expenses” in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Separate Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income (Note 21).

Tax Reform
 
On December 27, 2017, the Argentine Congress approved the Tax Reform, through Law No. 27,430, which was enacted on December 29, 2017, and has introduced many changes to the income tax treatment applicable to financial income. The key components of the Tax Reform are as follows:
 
Dividends: Tax on dividends distributed by Argentine companies would be as follows: (i) dividends originated from profits obtained before fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 will not be subject to withholding tax; (ii) dividends derived from profits generated during fiscal years of the Company ending June 30, 2019 and 2020 paid to Argentine Individuals and/or foreign residents, will be subject to a 7% withholding tax; and (iii) dividends originated from profits obtained during fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 onward will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 13%.
 
Income tax: Corporate income tax would be reduced to 30% for fiscal years commencing after January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, and to 25% for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2020, inclusive.
 
Presumptions of dividends: Certain facts will be presumed to constitute dividend payments, such as: i) withdrawals from shareholders, ii) shareholders private use of property of the company, iii) transactions with shareholders at values different from market values, iv) personal expenses from shareholders or shareholder remuneration without substance.
 
Revaluation of assets: The regulation establishes that, at the option of the companies, tax revaluation of assets is permitted for assets located in Argentina and affected to the generation of taxable profits. The special tax on the amount of the revaluation depends on the asset, being (i) 8% for real estate not classified as inventories, (ii) 15% for real estate classified as inventories, (iii) 5% for shares, quotas and equity interests owned by individuals and (iv) 10% for the rest of the assets. As of the date of these financial statements, the Group has not exercised the option. The gain generated by the revaluation is exempted according to article 291 of Law 27,430 and, the additional tax generated by the revaluation is not deductible.
 
 
 
In addition, the Argentine tax reform contemplates other amendments regarding the following matters: social security contributions, tax administrative procedures law, criminal tax law, tax on liquid fuels, and excise taxes, among others. As of the date of presentation of these Financial Statements, many aspects are pending regulation by the National Executive Power.

CNV General Ruling N° 629/14 – Storage of documentation
 
On August 14, 2014, the CNV issued General Ruling N° 629 whereby it introduced amendments to rules related to storage and conservation of corporate books, accounting books and commercial documentation. In this sense, it should be noted that the Company has entrusted the storage of certain non-sensitive and old information to the following providers:
 
Documentation storage provider
 
Location
Bank S.A.
 
Ruta Panamericana Km 37,5, Garín, Province of Buenos Aires
 
 
Av. Fleming 2190, Munro, Province of Buenos Aires
 
 
Carlos Pellegrini 1401, Avellaneda, Province of Buenos Aires
Iron Mountain Argentina S.A.
 
Av. Amancio Alcorta 2482, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
 
Pedro de Mendoza 2143, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
 
Saraza 6135, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
 
Azara 1245, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
 
Polígono industrial Spegazzini, Autopista Ezeiza Km 45, Cañuelas, Province of Buenos Aires
 
 
Cañada de Gomez 3825, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
 
It is further noted that a detailed list of all documentation held in custody by providers, as well as documentation required in section 5 a.3) of section I, Chapter V, Title II of the RULES (N.T. 2013 as amended) are available at the registered office.
 
On February 5, 2014 there was a widely known fire in Iron Mountain’s warehouse, which is a supplier of the Company and where Company’s documentation was being kept. Based on the internal review carried out by the Company, duly reported to CNV on February 12, 2014, the information kept at the Iron Mountain premises that were on fire do not appear to be sensitive or capable of affecting normal operations.

Negative working capital
 
At the end of the period, the Company carried a working capital deficit of Ps. 4,588 whose treatment is being considered by the Board of Directors and the respective Management.

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED
INTERIM SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
To the Shareholders, President and Directors of
Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria
Legal address: Moreno 877 – 23°floor
Autonomous City Buenos Aires
Tax Code No. 30-50930070-0
 
Introduction
 
 
We have reviewed the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements of Cresud Sociedad Anónima, Comercial, Inmobiliaria, Financiera y Agropecuaria (hereinafter “the Company”) which included the unaudited condensed interim separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017, and the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of income and comprehensive income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and the unaudited condensed interim separate statements of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and selected explanatory notes.
 
The balances and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and the interim periods within that fiscal year are an integral part of these financial statements and, therefore, they should be considered in relation to those financial statements.
 
Management responsibility
 
The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) as professional accounting standards and added by the National Securities Commission (CNV) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and, for this reason, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements above mentioned in the first paragraph according to the International Accounting Standard No 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34).

REVIEW REPORT ON THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED
INTERIM SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
 
Scope of our review
 
Our review was limited to the application of the procedures established in the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity", which was adopted as a review standard in Argentina in Technical Resolution No. 33 of the FACPCE, without modification as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries of persons responsible for the preparation of the information included in the unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the separate statement of financial position, the separate statement of income, the separate statement of comprehensive income and the separate statement of cash flows of the Company.
 
Conclusion
 
Nothing came to our attention as a result of our review that caused us to believe that these unaudited condensed interim separate financial statements above mentioned in the first paragraph of this report have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.

Argentine Tax reform: Main impacts
 
 
On December 27, 2017, the Argentine Congress approved the Tax Reform, through Law No. 27,430, which was enacted on December 29, 2017, and has introduced many changes to the income tax treatment applicable to financial income. The key components of the Tax Reform are as follows:
 
 
Dividends: Tax on dividends distributed by Argentine companies would be as follows: (i) dividends originated from profits obtained before fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 will not be subject to withholding tax; (ii) dividends derived from profits generated during fiscal years ending June 30, 2019 and 2020 paid to Argentine Individuals and/or foreign residents, will be subject to a 7% withholding tax; and (iii) dividends originated from profits obtained during fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 onward will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 13%.
 
 
Income tax: Corporate income tax gradually would be reduced to 30% for fiscal periods commencing after January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, and to 25% for fiscal periods commencing after January 1, 2020, inclusive.
 
 
Presumptions of dividends: Certain facts will be presumed to constitute dividend payments, such as: i) withdrawals from shareholders, ii) shareholders private use of property of the company, iii) transactions with shareholders at values different from market values, iv) personal expenses from shareholders or shareholder remuneration without substance.
 
 
Revaluation of assets: The regulation establishes that, at the option of the companies, tax revaluation of assets is permitted for assets located in Argentina and affected to the generation of taxable profits. The special tax on the amount of the revaluation depends on the asset, being (i) 8% for real estate not classified as inventories, (ii) 15% for real estate classified as inventories, (iii) 5% for shares, quotas and equity interests owned by individuals and (iv) 10% for the rest of the assets. As of the date of these Financial Statements, the Group has not exercised the option. The gain generated by the revaluation is exempted according to article 291 of Law 27,430 and, the additional tax generated by the revaluation is not deductible.
 
 
In addition, the Argentine tax reform contemplates other amendments regarding the following matters: social security contributions, tax administrative procedures law, criminal tax law, tax on liquid fuels, and excise taxes, among others.
 
 
At the date of presentation of these Financial Statements, many aspects are pending of regulation by the National Executive Power.
 
 
USA Tax reform: Main impacts
 
 
In December 2017, a bill was passed to reform the federal taxation law in the United States. The reform included a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, for the tax years 2018 and thereafter. It has impact on certain subsidiaries of the Group in the United States.

The Company’s consolidated revenues increased 18.7% in the first semester of fiscal year 2018 as compared to the same semester of fiscal year 2017, whereas profit from operations, excluding the effect of the net gain from fair value adjustment on investment properties, reached ARS 4,156 million, 80.0% higher than in the same period of 2017.
 
Net result for 6M18 registered a gain of ARS 9,929 million compared to a gain of ARS 6,724 million in 6M17 (Attributable to Cresud ARS 4,613 million in 6M18 vs. ARS 2,197 million in 6M17) mainly explained by higher results from changes in the fair value of investment properties coming from the Argentine business center of our subsidiary IRSA due to the positive tax reform impact in Argentina and exchange rate, compensated by a non-cash loss in Israel business center due to a debt exchange at Discount Corporation Ltd. In September 2017, Discount Corporation (“DIC”), subsidiary of IDB Development Corporation (“IDBD”), made a partial debt swap, recognizing a loss equal to the difference between the repayment of an outstanding loan and the fair value of the new debt for an amount of approximately NIS 461 million (equivalent to ARS 2,228 million) recorded under Net Financial Results as financial costs.

Period Summary
 
The 2018 season is developing under a slight “La Niña” pattern in Argentina. To date, we have completed all of the sowing planned for the campaign in the region. We expect to have similar yields to the previous campaign.
 
As concerns sale of farms, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 we consummated the sale of “La Esmeralda” farm, located in Santa Fe, for USD 19 million. Gain from this transaction will be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, upon execution of the title deed. We expect to concrete new farmland sales in the second semester of FY 2018.

Segment Income – Agricultural Business
 
 
I)
Land Development, Transformation and Sales
 
We periodically sell properties that have reached a considerable appraisal to reinvest in new farms with higher appreciation potential. We analyze the possibility of selling based on a number of factors, including the expected future yield of the farmland for continued agricultural and livestock exploitation, the availability of other investment opportunities and cyclical factors that have a bearing on the global values of farmlands.
 
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 we executed a preliminary agreement with an unrelated third party for the sale of the entire “La Esmeralda” farm, comprising 9,352 hectares intended for agriculture and cattle breeding, located in the District of 9 de Julio, Province of Santa Fe, Argentina. The total transaction amount was USD 19 million (USD 2,031 per hectare) of which USD 4 million (equivalent to Ps. 69) have been paid. The outstanding balance of USD 15 million will be collected as follows: USD 3 million upon execution of the title deed and surrender of possession in June 2018, and the balance (which is secured by a mortgage on the property) is payable in four equal instalments, the last one maturing in April 2022, accruing interest at 4% per annum over outstanding balances. The farm was booked at approximately ARS 52 million.

The gain from the sale of “La Esmeralda” will be booked in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. In view of this, no results from disposition of farmlands were recorded in the first quarter of 2018, compared to a gain of ARS 72 million in the first quarter of 2017 resulting from the sale of “El Invierno” and “La Esperanza” farms, comprising 2,615 hectares intended for agriculture, located in the District of “Rancul”, Province of La Pampa.

Profit from this segment decreased by ARS 226 million, from a profit of ARS 383 million for the first semester of FY 2017 down to a profit of ARS 157 million for the same period of FY 2018. The lower result is explained by lower results in farmland sales and a lower gain on the result of changes in the fair value of the investment properties that was reduced from ARS 329 million in 6M17 to ARS 170 million in 6M18.

The result of the Grains segment increased ARS 230 million, from ARS 195 million loss during the first half of the FY 2017 to ARS 35 million gain during the same period of the FY 2018, mainly as a result of:
 
 
 
6
 
 
A positive variation of ARS 235 million in the net gross result of commercial expenses and commodity derivatives, mainly from:
 
A positive variation of ARS 268 million mainly originated in Argentina, as a result of the gain that took place in the current period due to the increase in the prices of corn and soybeans, while in the previous period there was a loss for the adjustment of the prices of corn and soybeans after the price peak reached at the end of June 2016, reflected in the results of sale and holdings.
 
Compensated for a loss in the result of production of ARS 32 million, mainly originated in Argentina as a result of a lower expected corn production, and Bolivia due to production costs higher than the price of soybeans and to lower expected prices and yields from corn.
 
The result of the Sugar Cane segment increased by ARS 195 million, going from a profit of ARS 22 million in the first semester of the FY 2017 to a profit of ARS 217 million in the same period of the FY 2018. This is mainly due to:
 
A positive variation of the result from net sale of commercial expenses of ARS 39 million, mainly due to a better price and greater volume traded in Brazil as a result of the higher production generated by the incorporation of 15,000 productive hectares in sharecropping towards the end of last year
 
In addition to an increase in the production result of ARS 174 million, mainly from Brazil as a result of higher production derived from a larger area and better prices partially offset by higher costs and lower yields.
 
A loss of ARS 17 million from administrative expenses, mainly due to the positive variation of the exchange rate and a higher percentage of allocation of same to the Brazilian segment.

During the semester, we observed a result of approximately ARS 6 million lower than in the first half of FY 2017. This is mainly due to an increase in costs higher than income in Argentina offset by a greater gain on the holding result originated mainly in Brazil.

In December 2017 we decided to discontinue our dairy activity developed in the farm “El Tigre” in Argentina due to the adverse conditions of the sector. The result of the segment increased by ARS 6 million, going from a loss of ARS 3 million for the first semester of the FY 2017 to a gain of ARS 3 million for the first semester of the FY 2018. This was mainly due to the sale of the milking cows farm as a result of the ending of the activity.

Profit from this segment for the first semester of 2018 increased 157.1% as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an increase in leased hectares in Fazenda Jatobá and the addition of Fazenda Sao José in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, boosted by the variation in the exchange rate.
 
III) Other Segments
 
We include within "Others" the results coming from our Agroindustrial activities and our investment in FyO.
 
The "Others" segment recorded a loss of ARS 54 million in the 6-month period of 2018, mainly explained by a loss of our agro-industrial business, developed in our refrigeration plant in La Pampa for ARS 48 million, offset by lower results from our subsidiary Futures and Options (FyO) for ARS 6 million.
 
FyO, which develops the activity of grain commercialization and sale of inputs, observed a decrease in the result of ARS 25.1 million mainly explained as a decrease in sales results on consignment of ARS 29.3 million due to (i) strategic decision, to increase retained balances and increase financial and brokerage revenues, (ii) purchases of cereals related to consignment sales at higher than expected market prices, which reduced margins, and (iii) increased costs of 105% for sealed soybeans, freight and cost of direct personnel affected to the trading that was incorporated during the current fiscal year. On the other hand, in our agroindustrial business we had lower losses as a result of an increase in external and domestic market sales, caused by the increase in slaughter levels and prices, added to an increase in costs in a lower proportion that revenues, which were offset by higher selling and administrative expenses, due to the country's inflationary context.

Net Debt as of September 30, 2017 according to the companies Separate Statutory Financial Statements.
 
On September 28, 2017, DIC made a partial swap offer to the holders of series F bonds, proposing them to exchange such bonds for series J bonds. Series J has substantially different terms from those applicable to series F; therefore, a payment for series F was booked, and a new financial commitment at fair value was recorded in respect of series J. In addition, the previous debt (series F) had been recorded as of October 11, 2015 (IDBD’s consolidation date) at its listing value as of such date with a discount over par. As a result of this swap, DIC recorded a loss equal to the difference between the amount repaid and the amount of the new debt, for approximately NIS 461 million (equivalent to approximately ARS 2,228 million as of such date) which was included under “Financial costs”.

November 2017: Sale of Interest in FyO
 
 
On November 9 past, we sold to an unrelated third party 154,929 shares in our controlled company Futuros y Opciones.com S.A. (FyO), representing 9.493% of its stock capital, for an amount of USD 3.04 million, which was fully collected.

Prospects for the next fiscal year
 
We expect a 2018 campaign with agricultural productive results in line with those observed in 2017, average yields and controlled costs. In relation to the cattle activity, we will continue to focus our production in our own farms, mainly in the Northwest of the country controlling costs and with stabilized prices. In the case of our "El Tigre" dairy farm, we have decided to discontinue operations and proceed to sell the milking cows.
 
In terms of sales and land development, we hope to have the permits to increase the area under development since we have a large area of land reserves in the region with agricultural and / or cattle potential while we will continue selling the farms that have reached their maximum level of appreciation. We hope to be able to specify new farmland sales during the second semester of 2018.
 
In relation to our segment of urban properties and investments, we expect the real estate businesses from our subsidiary IRSA to maintain the solidity they demonstrated in the first half of the year in their two operations centers: Argentina and Israel.
 
We believe that companies like Cresud, with many years of experience and great knowledge of the sector, will have excellent opportunities to take advantage of the best opportunities in the market, especially considering that our main job is to produce food for a world population that grows and demands it.
