Pursuant to section o) of the Regulations aforementioned, we inform that as of the September 30, 2010, the capital stock of the Company is Ps. 501,560,508 whose share structure is divided into 501,560,508 nominative non-endorsable common shares of $1 par value each and each entitled to 1 vote.

Our principal shareholder is Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. with 187,976,814 shares, which represent 37.48% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.

Furthermore, we inform that as of September 30, 2010, 308,582,940 nominative non-endorsable common shares of $1 par value each and each entitled to 1 vote of the Company are not within the group of principal shareholders, which represent 61.52% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.

After the allocation of the treasury shares made on November 23, 2009 the amount of 5,000,754 shares were held in our portfolio as treasury shares as of September 30, 2010, which represented 1.00% of the subscribed capital stock of the Company.

On March 2008, we increased our share capital in 180 million shares. Each shareholder received, for each share subscribed, free of charge one warrant to purchase 0,33333333 new shares at a price of US$ 1.68 for every share to be purchased. As a consequence of the pro rata allotment of the treasury shares among the shareholders, dated November 23, 2009, the terms and conditions of such warrants have been modified; accordingly the ratio after the allotment per option is 0.35100598, and the current price after the allotment is U$S1.5954.


 

The warrants are due May 22, 2015. The warrants are listed in the Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires under the symbol “CREW2” and in Nasdaq under the symbol “CRESW”.

If the warrant’s holders exercise all the outstanding warrants, the outstanding shares would increase to 563,915,286. If Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. and the remaining holders of the warrants exercised all their warrants, the holding of Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. would increase up to 29,572,220 common shares, representative of 38.58%., for a total interest of 217,549,034 common shares.

Below are the main acts for the period:

 

   

Sales increased by 42% to Ps. 468.9 million.

 

   

Operating Income rose 103%, by Ps. 93.4 million, to Ps. 183.6 million.

 

   

Crop, beef cattle and milk prices have increased, favorably impacting on the margins of our agribusiness segments.

 

   

The sale of “La Juanita” farm for USD 18 million resulted in a gain of Ps. 49.4 million.

 

   

Net income was Ps. 51.9 million compared to the Ps. 61.8 million posted in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to lower income from our investment in IRSA.

 

   

The planted area for this season will increase by 24%, reaching 189,000 hectares, including 100% of Brasilagro´s portfolio.

 

   

After the end of the quarter, Cresud increased its holdings in Brasilagro to 35.75%, thus expanding its exposure to a regional farm portfolio with high development potential.

 

   

In addition, during the month of October, IRSA consummated the purchase of Parque Arauco’s equity interest in APSA, increasing its interest to 94.9%, thus strengthening its presence in the shopping center segment.
