In accordance with Article o), of the abovementioned rules, the Company informed that as the closing of this Financial Statement the capital stock of the Company was Ps. 501,562,534; and was divided into 501,562,534 non-endorsable registered common shares with a face value of Ps. 1 each, and entitled to one vote each.

Our principal shareholder is Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. that holds 186,051,574 shares, that represents 37.09% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.

Furthermore, we inform that as of September 30, 2011, the remaining shareholders hold 310,510,206 non-endorsable registered common shares with a face value of Ps. 1 each and entitled to one vote each, which represent 61.91% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.

After the treasury shares allotment made on November 23, 2009, the amount of 5,000,754 common shares were held in our portfolio, which represented 1.00% of the issued and outstanding capital stock as of September 30, 2011.

On March 2008, the Company increased its capital stock in 180 million common 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. As a result of the pro rata allotment of the treasury shares above mentioned, the terms and conditions of such warrants have been modified. Consequently the new ratio per warrant is 0.35100598, and the current exercise price is U$S1.5954. The expiration date of the warrants is on 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 a total of 563,915,285. Furthermore, if Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. and the remaining holders of the warrants exercised all its warrants, Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A.’s holding would increase up to 29,687,846 common shares, representative of 38.26%, for a total interest of 215,739,420 common shares.

Among the main highlights for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we can mention the following:

 

   

During this period we have observed very good soil humidity conditions in most of the areas where the coarse crop planting process is set (including soybean, corn and sunflower). In addition, we have started planting activities in most of the areas allocated to wheat production.

 

   

On September 21, we acquired under a private transaction an additional 5.1% equity interest in IRSA, for a total amount of USD 30.1 million. In this way, we increased our interest in IRSA to 63.2%.

 

   

The Agribusiness production segment grew due to the consolidation of our subsidiary BrasilAgro and the late harvesting of corn crops in our Argentine farms, together with a higher Feed Lot beef cattle production.

 

   

Operating income totalize ARS 191.7 million, which results into a 4.4% increase as compared to the same quarter of the previous year.

 

   

Net Income amounted to ARS 1.0 million compared to ARS 51.9 million in the first quarter of 2011. This was due to higher financial charges, which totalized ARS 167.3 million compared to ARS 74.3 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. This decrease was caused by a loss from differences in exchange rates, resulting from the depreciation of the exchange rate that affects our liabilities denominated in dollars, which amounts to ARS 49.0 million (vs. ARS 2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011) and a loss from other financial assets which totalized ARS 62.4 million (vs. ARS 18.2 million) mainly due to revaluation of certain assets held of by our subsidiary IRSA, at market value.

 

   

On October 31, 2011, our General Shareholders’ Meeting approved a cash dividend payment of ARS 63.8 million, equivalent to an amount of ARS 0.138 per share.
