NOTE 1:  ARGENTINE ECONOMIC SITUATION

         Argentina is immersed in a critical economic situation. The main
         features of the current economic context are a major external debt
         burden, a financial system in crisis, country risk indicators far above
         normal average and an economic recession that has already lasted more
         than four years. This situation has led to a significant decrease in
         the demand for goods and services and a large rise in the level of
         unemployment. The Government's ability to comply with its commitments
         has been impaired, which led it to default in the payment of external
         debt services at the beginning of 2002. Furthermore, it is expected
         that there will be presidential elections during 2003.

         To overcome the crisis the country is undergoing, as from December 2001
         the government issued measures to restrict the free availability and
         circulation of cash and the transfer of foreign currency abroad.
         Subsequently, as from January 2002, laws, decrees and regulations were
         enacted that involved profound changes to the prevailing economic model
         and the amendment of the Convertibility Law in force until then. Among
         the measures adopted was the establishment of a single free exchange
         market system, that led to a significant devaluation of the Argentine
         peso during the first months of 2002; the pesification of certain
         assets and liabilities in foreign currency held abroad and the
         resulting increase in local prices.

         Impact on the Company's financial position

         As mentioned in Note 13 to the unaudited financial statements, during
         November 2002, the Company successfully completed the restructuring of
         its financial debt. Along these lines, the current cash position will
         enable the Company to take advantage of the opportunities available on
         the real estate market, as it did over the previous decade.

         The future development of the economic crisis might require the
         Government to modify some measures adopted or issue additional
         regulations. Therefore, the Company's financial statements should be
         considered in the light of these circumstances.

         (2)      As from the quarter ended on 30 September 2002 and as a result

                  bonds (CNB) referred to in Note 21 to the consolidated

                  financial statements with those of its subsidiary Alto Palermo
                  S.A. Furthermore, during January 2003, we purchased an
                  additional 3.4 million shares in Alto Palermo, for a total of
                  U$S 2.3 million, taking our equity interest to 54.9%. We also
                  purchased 2.6 million CNB, for a value of U$S 2.9 million,
                  which, together with the 27.3 million underwritten at the time

NOTE 2:  (Continued)

         (3)      On August 16, 2002, the Company and RAGHSA S.A. agreed: i) the
                  redistribution of the block 5M, of the Old Puerto Madero of
                  the City of Buenos Aires, ii) the division and distribution of
                  the charge and commitment to build on those plots of land,
                  previously undertaken before Corporacion Antiguo Puerto Madero
                  S.A.(CAPM), iii) the renegotiation of the other commitments
                  and obligations also assumed before CAPM and iv) the exchange
                  of the shares issued by ARSA, BARSA and BAT&FCSA,
                  respectively, which own the plots of land included in block
                  5M. As a result of the share exchange, the Company now owns
                  100% of the shares in BAT&FCSA, and transferred its 50%
                  interest in ARSA and BARSA respectively, to RAGHSA S.A.

         As a result of the consolidation of the related company Alto Palermo
         S.A., mentioned above, since the beginning of this fiscal year the
         Company has discontinued the application of the proportional
         consolidation method in the preparation of the income statements.
         Accordingly, the financial statement figures originally issued as of
         December 31, 2001 have been reclassified to conform them to the
         presentation as of December 31, 2002.

         b)       Consideration of the effects of inflation

         The financial statements have been prepared in constant currency,
         reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. As
         from that date, in accordance with professional accounting standards
         and the requirements of the control authorities, restatement of the
         financial statements was discontinued until December 31, 2001. As from
         January 1, 2002, in accordance with Resolution No. 3/2002 of the
         Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of
         Buenos Aires and Resolution No. 415 of the National Securities
         Commission, the effects of inflation are being recognized in the
         financial statements. To this end, the restatement method established
         by Technical Pronouncement No. 6 of the F.A.C.P.C.E. has been followed.

         As a consequence of the above, the Company's financial statements are
         presented in constant currency of December 31, 2002, having considered
         that the accounting measurements restated by the change in the
         purchasing power of the currency until August 31, 1995 and those
         arising between that date and December 31, 2001 are stated in currency
         of the latter date.

         The above restatement was made applying the coefficients prepared based
         on the domestic wholesale price index.

         The Company used a conversion factor to restate the comparative
         financial statements in constant Argentine pesos of December 31, 2002
         for comparative purposes.

         Those shares and negotiable obligations have temporarily been valued at
         their acquisition cost, restated in currency values as of December

         e.       Sales in jointly controlled affiliated companies incorporated
                  abroad

                  i)       Latin American Econetworks N.V (LAE) : On November 7,

                           signed on February 28, 2002 and the First Amendment

NOTE 3:  (Continued)


         a.       Jointly controlled affiliated companies incorporated abroad

                  The financial statements of the related companies under joint
                  control set up abroad, used for application of the equity
                  method of accounting to value the investment in those
                  companies, were converted into Argentine pesos at the year-end
                  rate of exchange based on the financial statements of those
                  companies stated in the currency of the country of origin. The
                  conversion method envisages the conversion of monetary assets
                  and liabilities at the exchange rate in force at the end of
                  each period and the non-monetary assets and liabilities and
                  equity accounts based on amounts adjusted for inflation, if
                  applicable, at the exchange rate in force at the end of each
                  period. Average exchange rates were used for the conversion of
                  financial statements that reflect the results for the periods.
                  The net gain/loss for monetary conversion is included in the
                  Financial results, net.

                  Since March 31, 1999, as a consequence of changes in the
                  variables to measure fluctuations in domestic prices, and the
                  performance of the Brazilian currency compared to the
                  Argentine peso, IRSA International Limited has decided to
                  value its investments in fixed assets and other intangible
                  assets that cannot be disposed of by its subsidiary, Brazil
                  Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Participacoes, at their original
                  cost in pesos, less applicable accumulated depreciation,
                  following the calculation method laid down by Technical
                  Resolution No. 13, which was approved by the March 1999
                  Resolution of the Administrative Board of the Argentine
                  Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences.

         b.       Shares and options of Banco Hipotecario S.A.

                  The shares in Banco Hipotecario S.A. held by Ritelco S.A. (a
                  wholly-owned subsidiary) have been valued at their quotation
                  at the end of the period, less estimated selling expenses,
                  while options were valued at restated cost as mentioned in
                  Note 1.b) to the individual unaudited financial statements or
                  estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower.

NOTE 3:  (Continued)

         c.       Revenue Recognition

                  The Company`s revenues mainly stem from office rental,
                  shopping center operations, development and sale of real
                  estate, hotel operations and, to a lesser extent, from
                  e-commerce activities.

                  See Note 4 for details on the Company's business segments. As
                  discussed in Note 2.a., the consolidated statements of income
                  were prepared following the guidelines of Technical Resolution
                  No. 4 of the F.A.C.P.C.E.

                  o        Leases and services from shopping center operations

                  Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases.
                  Tenants are generally charged a rent, which consists of the
                  higher of (i) a monthly base rent (the "Base Rent") and (ii) a
                  specified percentage of the tenant's monthly gross retail
                  sales (the "Percentage Rent") (which generally ranges between
                  4% and 8% of tenant's gross sales).

                  Furthermore, pursuant to the rent escalation clause in most
                  leases, a tenant's Base Rent generally increases between 4%
                  and 7% each year during the term of the lease. Minimum rental
                  income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
                  the lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions, which
                  provide for rents based on a percentage of sales or based on a
                  percentage of sales volume above a specified threshold. The
                  Company determines the compliance with specific targets and
                  calculates the additional rent on a monthly basis as provided
                  for in the contracts. Thus, these contingent rents are not
                  recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded.

         o        Leases and services from shopping center operations
                  (Continued)

         Generally, the Company's lease agreements vary from 36 to 120 months.
         Law No. 24,808 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease
         agreements after the initial six months, upon not less than 60 days'
         written notice, subject to penalties which vary from one to one and a
         half months rent if the tenant rescinds during the first year of its
         lease, and one month of rent if the tenant rescinds after the first
         year of its lease. The Company also charges its tenants a monthly
         administration fee, prorated among the tenants according to their
         leases, which varies from shopping center to shopping center, relating
         to the administration and maintenance of the common area and the
         administration of contributions made by tenants to finance promotional
         efforts for the overall shopping centers operations. Administration
         fees are recognized monthly when earned. In addition to rent, tenants
         are generally charged "admission rights", a non-refundable admission
         fee that tenants may be required to pay upon entering into a lease and
         upon lease renewal. Admission right is normally paid in one lump sum or
         in a small number of monthly installments. Admission rights are
         recognized using the straight-line method over the life of the
         respective lease agreements. Furthermore, the lease agreements
         generally provide for the reimbursement of real estate taxes,
         insurance, advertising and certain common area maintenance costs. These
         additional rents and tenant reimbursements are accounted for on the
         accrual basis.

         o        Credit card operations

         Revenues derived from credit card transactions consist of commissions
         and financing income. Commissions are recognized at the time the
         merchants' transactions are processed, while financing income is
         recognized when earned.

         o        Hotel operations

         The Company recognizes revenues from its rooms, catering, and
         restaurant facilities as earned on the close of business each day.

                  the CNB underwritten by the Company for $ 92,085 thousand.

         (2)      Includes:

                  (a)      $ 50,330 thousand in unsecured general liabilities
                           belonging to APSA, originally issued for a total
                           value of V$N 85,000,000, which mature on 7 April

                           in full. At 31 December 2002, APSA recorded certain
                           time lags in the relationships of the financial
                           covenants required under the Trust Fund Agreement. As
                           a result of this situation, APSA and its subsidiaries
                           are subject to restrictions for taking out additional
                           loans.

                           2005, on which date the full amount of the principal
                           will be amortized. The current negotiable bonds are
                           secured by the fiduciary assignment in the interest
                           of the holders of the total share capital in Shopping
                           Alto Palermo S.A. At 31 December 2002, owing to the
                           prevailing economic difficulties, the Company
                           recorded certain time lags in the relationships of
                           the financial covenants required under the Trust Fund
                           Agreement signed in connection with the issue of the
                           negotiable bonds. After the financial closing date,
                           APSA summoned an Extraordinary Meeting of Bondholders
                           to be held on 10 February 2003, which resolved to
                           exempt the Company owing to the failure to meet
                           commitments during the semester running from 1 July
                           2002 to 31 December 2002.

                  (c)      $ 38.646 thousand corresponding to secured general
                           liabilities in Shopping Alto Palermo S.A. (SAPSA).
                           The terms of the liabilities require SAPSA to
                           maintain certain financial ratios and conditions,
                           specific debt/equity ratios, and establish
                           restrictions to the procurement of new loans. At 31
                           December 2002, as a result of the prevailing economic
                           recession, SAPSA recorded certain time lags in the
                           relationships of the financial covenants required by

                           the issue of negotiable bonds. After the financial
                           closing date, the Extraordinary Meeting of
                           bondholders held on 10 February 2003 granted an
                           exemption owing to failure to comply with commitments

NOTE 14: RESTRICTED ASSETS

         Puerto Retiro S.A.: extension of the bankruptcy

         On April 18, 2000, Puerto Retiro S.A. was notified of a filing made by
         the National Government, through the Ministry of Defense, to extend the
         petition in bankruptcy of Inversora Darsena Norte S.A. (Indarsa) to
         Puerto Retiro S.A. Concurrently with the complaint, at the request of
         plaintiff, the bankruptcy court granted an order restraining the
         ability of Puerto Retiro to sell or dispose in any manner the real
         estate property purchased from Tandanor S.A. ("Tandanor").

         Indarsa had purchased 90% of the capital stock of Tandanor, a formerly
         state owned company privatized in 1991, engaged in the shipyard
         industry.

         In June 1993, Tandanor sold the plot of land near Puerto Madero
         denominated "Planta 1" to Puerto Retiro S.A.

NOTE 14: (Continued)

         Indarsa did not comply with the payment of the outstanding price for
         the purchase of the stock of Tandanor, and therefore the Ministry of
         Defense requested the bankruptcy of Indarsa. Since the only asset of
         Indarsa were the shareholdings in Tandanor, the Ministry of Defense is
         pursuing to extend the bankruptcy to other companies or individuals
         which, according to its view, acted as an economic group, and
         therefore, requested the extension of the bankruptcy to Puerto Retiro
         which acquired Planta 1 from Tandanor. The lawsuit is at its first
         stages. Puerto Retiro S.A. answered the claim and appealed the
         preventive measures ordered. This appeal was overruled on December 14,
         2000.

         Puerto Retiro S.A. believes, pursuant to the advice of its legal
         advisors, that the plaintiff's claim shall be rejected by the courts.

         Hoteles Argentinos S.A.: mortgage loan

         The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Hoteles Argentinos S.A. held
         on January 5, 2001, approved taking a long-term mortgage loan from Bank
         Boston N.A. Buenos Aires for a total of US$ 12,000,000 to be used to
         refinance existing debts. The term of the loan was agreed at 60 months
         payable in 19 equal and quarterly installments of US$ 300,000 and one
         final payment of US$ 6,300,000. The agreement was signed on January 26,
         2001.

         Interest is paid quarterly in arrears at an annual interest rate
         equivalent to LIBOR for nine-month loans plus the applicable mark-up
         per the contract, which consists in a variable interest rate applicable
         during the interest bearing periods, which ranges from 6.56% to 8.46%
         per year.

         The guarantee granted was a senior mortgage on a Company property,
         which houses the Hotel Sheraton Libertador Buenos Aires.

         At the date of issue of these financial statements, as a result of the
         current economic situation, the lack of credit and the crisis of the
         Argentine financial system, principal installments of US$ 300 thousand
         falling due on Juanuary 26, April 29, July 29, October 26, 2002 and
         January 26 2003, respectivelly and the interest installment amounting
         to US$ 315 thousand falling due on July 29, October 26, 2002 and
         January 26, 2003 were not paid. Although Hoteles Argentinos' Management
         is renegotiating the debt with its creditors, as failure to pay the
         installments when due entitles the bank to require acceleration of
         principal and interest maturities, the loan has been classified and is
         shown under current financial loans in these financial statements.

NOTE 15: TARSHOP CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLE SECURITIZACION

         Alto Palermo S.A. has ongoing revolving period securitization programs
         through which Tarshop, a majority-owned subsidiary of APSA, transfers a
         portion of its customer credit card receivable balances to a master
         trust (the "Trust") that issues certificates to public and private
         investors.

         To the extent the certificates are sold to third parties, the
         receivables transferred qualify as sales for financial statement
         purposes and are removed from the APSA balance sheet. The remaining
         receivables in the Trust which have not been sold to third parties are
         reflected on the APSA balance sheet as a retained interest in
         transferred credit card receivables. Under these programs, APSA acts as
         the servicer on the accounts and receives a fee for its services.

        NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD.)


NOTE 15: (Continued)

         Under the securitization programs, the Trust may issue two types of
         certificates representing undivided interests in the Trust - Titulos de
         Deuda Fiduciaria ("TDF") and Certificados de Participacion ("CP"),
         which represent debt, and equity certificates, respectively. Interest
         and principal services are paid periodically to the TDF holders
         throughout the life of the security. CPs are subordinated securities
         which entitle the CP holders to share pro rata in the cash flows of the
         securitized credit card receivables, after principal and interest on
         the TDFs and other fees and expenses have been paid. During the
         revolving period no payments are made to TDF and CP holders. Principal
         collections of the underlying financial assets are used by the Trust to
         acquire additional credit card receivables throughout the revolving
         period. Once the revolving period ends, a period of liquidation occurs
         during which: (i) no further assets are purchased and (ii) all cash
         collections are used to fulfill the TDF service requirements and (iii)
         the remaining proceeds are used to fulfill the CPs service
         requirements.

         Alto Palermo S.A. entered into two-year revolving-period securitization
         programs, through which Tarshop sold an aggregate amount of Ps. 83.1
         million of its customer credit card receivable. Under the
         securitization programs, the Trusts issued Ps. 12.4 million nominal
         value subordinated CPs, Ps. 23.8 million 12% fixed-rate interest TDFs
         and Ps. 20.0 million 18% fixed-rate interest TDFs, and Ps. 6.9 million
         variable rate interest TDFs. Tarshop acquired all the CPs at an amount
         equal to their nominal value while the TDFs were sold to other
         investors through a public offering in Argentina. As a credit
         protection for investors, Tarshop has established cash reserves for
         losses amounting to Ps. 0.2 million.

                  "GSEM Dividend Right"), with the scope defined in point g).

         d)       The Company's obligation to pay a total amount of thousand US$
                  13,135 to GSEM (called "GSEM Credit"), to be settled in two
                  equal installments for a total amount of US$ 6,567 each, plus
                  interest accrued at the time of payment, the first installment
                  falling due on January 31, 2002 and the second on April 30,
                  2002.

         e)       The entering into a Share Trust Agreement pursuant to which
                  the Company has assigned in trust, under the terms of Law No.

                  shares it owns in Palermo Invest S.A.. Under no circumstances,
                  may the Trustee transfer, pledge or otherwise assign IRSA's
                  shares either wholly or partially to any Person, and it must
                  at all times exercise the voting rights granted by the shares
                  as indicated by IRSA. Under the trust provisions, GSEM is not
                  empowered, at any time, to request the trustee to extinguish
                  the right to redeem IRSA's shares. Upon the Company's total
                  fulfillment of its obligations to GSEM, the trustee must
                  return the shares to IRSA under the terms and conditions of
                  the trust agreed with the Trustee.

         f)       GSEM is empowered to collect all the distributions that
                  Palermo Invest S.A. may resolve, provided the Company has not
                  settled all the obligations generated in favor of GSEM, as
                  provided in point d) above.

NOTE 19: (Continued)

         g)       Finally, the Company and GSEM/AP Holdings L.P. acknowledge
                  that: i) all the amounts received in cash by GSEM from Palermo
                  Invest S.A. on account of IRSA Dividend Right, must be
                  considered as a reduction in the amount owed by IRSA under the
                  GSEM Credit, and ii) all the amounts received in cash by GSEM
                  on account of the GSEM Credit will oblige GSEM to return to
                  IRSA the equivalent portion of IRSA Dividend Right, but if
                  IRSA pays the total amount plus all accrued interest and
                  reasonable costs to GSEM, IRSA may then recover its rights
                  regarding the IRSA Dividend Right.

         At 31 December 2002, the Company has settled all the installments
         referred to in item d) amounting to a total of $ 39,208 thousand,
         recording a net gain of $ 25,962 thousand as a result of a remission by
         GSEM. Along these lines, at the date of issue of these financial
         statements, the aspects referred to in items c), e), f) and g) are null
         and void.

NOTE 20: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

         The Company uses various financial derivatives, mainly term exchange
         purchase-sale contracts, to hedge its net investment in foreign
         operations and as a complement to reduce its global financial costs.

         The counterparties to these instruments generally are major financial
         institutions. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments
         for trading purposes. In entering into these contracts, the Company has
         assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of
         counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company does
         not expect any losses as a result of counterparty defaults.

         (i)      Foreign currency forward-exchange contracts

         The Company uses foreign currency forward-exchange contracts as a
         supplement to reduce its overall financing costs. Premiums on foreign
         currency forward-exchange contracts are amortized over the life of the
         respective contract. The market value of the foreign currency forward
         contracts has not been recognized in the accompanying financial
         statements. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not have
         any foreign currency forward contracts in force.

         (ii)     Interest rate swap

         In order to minimize its financing costs and to manage interest rate
         exposure, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to
         effectively convert a portion of its peso-denominated fixed-rate debt
         to peso-denominated floating rate debt.

        NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD.)


NOTE 20: (Continued)

         As of March 31, 2001, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement
         outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of Ps. 85.0 million with
         maturities through March 2005. This swap agreement initially allowed
         the Company to reduce the net cost of its debt. However, subsequent to
         June 30, 2001, the Company modified the swap agreement due to an
         increase in interest rates as a result of the economic situation. Under
         the terms of the revised agreement, the Company converted its
         peso-denominated fixed rate debt to U.S. dollar-denominated floating
         rate debt for a notional amount of US$ 69.1 million with maturities
         through March 2005. Any differential to be paid or received under this
         agreement is accrued and is recognized as an adjustment to interest
         expense in the statement of operations. The related accrued receivable
         or payable is included as an adjustment to interest payable. The fair
         value of the swap agreement is not recognized in the consolidated
         financial statements. During the period ended December 31, 2002 and
         2001, the Company recognized a gain of Ps. 2.42 million and a loss of
         Ps. 0.53 million, respectively.

                   NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     For the six-months periods beginning on
                              July 1, 2002 and 2001
                      and ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
                              In thousands of pesos

NOTE 1:   BASIS FOR THE PRESENTATION

         a)       Disclosure criteria

         In compliance with the provisions of Resolution No. 368/01, 372/01 and
         398/02 of the Argentine Securities Commission, these financial
         statements are stated in thousands of Argentine pesos and have been
         prepared in line with the valuation and disclosure criteria contained
         in Technical Resolutions No. 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 13 of the
         Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (the
         "F.A.C.P.C.E."), and according to the provisions of the aforementioned
         Resolutions.

         The financial statements for the six-month periods ending 31 December
         2002 and 2001 have not been audited. The Company's management considers
         that they include all the necessary adjustments to reasonably present
         the financial result for the periods referred to.

         The financial result for the period ended 31 December 2002 does not
         necessarily reflect the net income for the year.

         The present financial statements must be readen considerating the
         circumstances mentioned in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated
         financial statements.

         b)       Recognition of the effects of inflation

         The financial statements have been prepared in constant currency,
         reflecting the overall effects of inflation through August 31, 1995. As
         from that date, in accordance with professional accounting standards
         and the requirements of the control authorities, restatement of the
         financial statements was discontinued until December 31, 2001. As from
         January 1, 2002, in accordance with Resolution No. 3/2002 of the
         Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of
         Buenos Aires and Resolution No. 415 of the National Securities
         Commission, the effects of inflation are being recognized in the
         financial statements. To this end, the restatement method established
         by Technical Pronouncement No. 6 of the F.A.C.P.C.E. has been followed.

         As a consequence of the above, the Company's financial statements are
         presented in constant currency of December 31, 2002, having considered
         that the accounting measurements restated by the change in the
         purchasing power of the currency until August 31, 1995 and those
         arising between that date and December 31, 2001 are stated in currency
         of the latter date.

         The above restatement was made applying the coefficients prepared based
         on the domestic wholesale price index.

         For purposes of comparison, the figures corresponding to the six-month
         period ended December 31, 2001 have been restated as of December 31,
         2002.

              NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD.)

NOTE 1:  (Continued)

         c)       Issuance of new technical pronouncements

         The Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of
         Buenos Aires approved Technical Pronouncements No. 16 "Conceptual
         framework for professional accounting standards" ; No. 17:
         "Professional accounting standards: development of some general
         application issues", No. 18 : "Professional accounting standards:
         development of some particular application issues" and No. 19
         "Amendments to Technical Pronouncements Nos. 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 14"
         and 20: "Derivatives and hedging transactions", through Resolutions C
         238/01, C 243/01, C 261/01, C 262/01 and C 187/02, respectively;
         establishing that those Technical Pronouncements and amendments to them
         will come into force for fiscal years commencing as from July 1, 2002,
         (except for Technical Pronouncements No. 20, whose effective date
         tallies with the financial years commencing 1 January 2003).

         The National Securities Commission, through Resolution 434/02, has
         adopted the Technical Resolutions referred to with certain exceptions
         and modifications, which shall apply to the financial years commencing
         on 1 January 2003. Consequently, the Company has prepared these
         financial statements in accordance with Resolutions 368/01, 372/01 and
         398/02, as detailed in Note 1.a); such Resolutions do not envisage
         these changes and differ with the provisions contained in the
         accounting standards currently in force.

         The main amendments to the new Technical Pronouncements, which would
         mean significant adjustments being made to the Company's financial
         statements, are related to the recognition of income tax according to
         the deferred tax method and of the interest rate swap contract at the
         subsidiary Alto Palermo S.A.

         The following is a summary of the principal accounting policies

                  a.3.     Undeveloped parcels of lands

                           The Company acquires undeveloped land in order to
                           provide an adequate and well-located supply for its
                           residential and office building operations. The
                           Company's strategy for land acquisition and
                           development is dictated by specific market conditions
                           where the Company conducts its operations.

                           Land held for development and sale and improvements
                           are stated at cost adjusted for inflation at the end
                           of the period, as defined in Note 1.b), or estimated
                           net realizable value, whichever is lower. Land and
                           land improvements are transferred to inventories when
                           construction commences.

                           At the end of the previous fiscal year, as mentioned
                           in Note 2.m., the Company set up provisions for
                           impairment of certain plots (identified as Santa
                           Maria del Plata and Torres Jardin IV).

                           The accounting value of plots of land, net of
                           provisions set up, does not exceed estimated
                           recoverable value.

         b.       Inventory

                  A property is classified as available for sale upon
                  determination by the Board of Directors that the property is
                  to be marketed for sale in the normal course of business over
                  the next several periods.

                  Residential, office and other non-retail properties completed
                  or under construction are stated at cost, adjusted for
                  inflation at the end of the period, as defined in Note 1.b),
                  or estimated net realizable value, whichever is lower. Costs
                  include land and land improvements, direct construction costs,
                  construction overhead costs, interest on indebtedness and real
                  estate taxes. Selling and advertising costs are deferred and
                  charged to expense in the period in which the related revenue
                  is earned, as determined under the percentage-of-completion
                  method. Total contract costs are charged to expense in the
                  period in which the related revenue is earned, as determined
                  under the percentage-of-completion method. No interest costs
                  were capitalized during the period ended December 31, 2002 and
                  2001.

         Properties held for sale are classified as current or non-current based
         on the estimated date of sale and the time at which the related
         receivable is expected to be collected by the Company.

                           incurred for the acquisition of the properties are
                           capitalized. Accumulated depreciation is computed
                           under the straight-line method over the estimated
                           useful lives of the assets, which generally are
                           estimated to be 50 periods for buildings.
                           Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are
                           charged to operations in the period incurred.

                           improve or extend the useful life of the asset are
                           capitalized and depreciated over its estimated
                           remaining useful life. At the time depreciable assets
                           are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and

                           construction projects. No interest costs were
                           capitalized during the period ended December 31, 2002
                           and 2001.

NOTE 2:  (Continued)

         h.       Asset tax

                  During the period ended June 30, 1999, Law 25,063 set out the
                  asset tax for four fiscal periods. This tax supplements the
                  income tax, because while the latter is levied on the taxable
                  income for the period, the asset tax is levied on the
                  potential yield of certain assets at a 1% rate, and the
                  Company's tax liability is the higher of both taxes.

                  Law 25,360 modified Law 25,063 by extending the term of
                  application to ten fiscal periods.

                  Any excess of the asset tax over and above the income tax in a
                  given fiscal period may be considered as a payment on account
                  of the income tax to be generated in the next ten periods (in
                  excess of the asset tax).

                  As of December 31, 2002 the Company has estimated the
                  applicable asset tax and has reflected the portion it
                  estimates it will be able to offset in future periods in line
                  with the rules in force under other (current and non-current)
                  receivables, charging the remaining portion to income
                  currently.


         i.       Customer advances

                  Customer advances represent payments received in advance in
                  connection with the sale and rent of properties.


         j.       Provisions for allowances and contingencies

                  The Company provides for losses relating to mortgage, lease
                  and other accounts receivable. The allowance for losses is
                  recognized when, based on current information and events, it
                  is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all
                  amounts due according to the terms of the agreements. The
                  allowance is determined on a one-by-one basis considering the
                  present value of expected future cash flow. While management
                  uses the information available to make evaluations, future
                  adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if future
                  economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions
                  used in making the evaluations. Management has considered all
                  events and/or transactions that are subject to reasonable and
                  normal methods of estimations, and the consolidated financial
                  statements reflect that consideration.

NOTE 2:  (Continued)

         j.       Provisions for allowances and contingencies (Continued)

                  The Company has certain contingent liabilities with respect to
                  existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings,
                  including those involving labor and other matters. The Company
                  accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will
                  be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such
                  accruals are based on developments to date, the Company's
                  estimates of the outcomes of these matters and the Company's
                  lawyers' experience in contesting, litigating and settling
                  other matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better
                  defined, there may be changes in the estimates of future
                  costs, which could have a material effect on the Company's
                  future results of operations and financial condition or
                  liquidity.

         k.       Advertising expenses

                  The Company generally charges the advertising and publicity
                  expenses to results when they are incurred, except for the
                  advertising and publicity expenses related to the sale of real
                  estate projects. Advertising and promotion expenses were
                  approximately Ps. 128 and Ps. 698 thousand for the period
                  ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.


         l.       Pension information

                  The Company does not maintain any pension plans. Argentine
                  laws provide for pension benefits to be paid to retired
                  employees from government pension plans and/or privately
                  managed funds plan to which employees may elect to contribute.

         m.       Impairment of long-lived assets

                  The Company regularly evaluates its non-current assets for
                  recoverability. The Company considers that impairment losses
                  arise when the recoverable value is lower than book value.
                  Impairment losses must be appropriated to the result for the
                  period. The recoverable value is mainly determined using
                  independent estimates or projections of future cash flows. At
                  the end of the previous fiscal year, due to the progressive
                  deterioration of the Argentine economy and the impact on the
                  Company's revenue of the measures adopted by the National
                  Government mentioned in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated
                  financial statements, the Company has reevaluated the
                  recoverable value of its non-current assets, recording an
                  impairment loss as the valuation of certain assets has
                  exceeded the estimated recoverable value.

         n.       Financial derivatives

                  The Company uses various financial derivatives to hedge its
                  net investment in foreign operations and as a complement to
                  reduce its global financial costs.

NOTE 2:  (Continued)

         n.       Financial derivatives (Continued)

                  The Company does not engage in trading or other speculative
                  use of these financial instruments. Additionally, the Company
                  has not used financial instruments to hedge transactions
                  foreseen or firm commitments. To be eligible for hedging, the
                  Company must be exposed to currency or interest rate risk, and
                  the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be
                  designated as such. In addition, for hedging purposes, the
                  significant characteristics and expected terms of the planned
                  transaction must be identified and the expected transaction
                  must be probable. Financial instruments that can be recorded
                  as hedging instruments must maintain a high correlation
                  between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged at
                  the beginning and during the entire hedging period.

                  The Company formally documents all the relationships between
                  hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk
                  management objective and strategy before embarking on hedging
                  transactions. This process includes detailing all the
                  derivatives designated for hedging of specific assets and
                  liabilities in the balance sheet or specific firm commitments
                  or planned transactions. The Company also evaluates both at
                  the beginning of the hedging transaction and on an ongoing
                  basis whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are
                  very effective to offset fluctuations in the market values or
                  cash flows of the items hedged. If it is determined that a
                  derivative is not very effective for hedging or that it has
                  stopped being an effective cover, the Company would
                  discontinue the recording of such hedging instrument in the
                  future.

                  -        Foreign currency forward-exchange contracts

                           In accordance with the Company's risk management
                           policies, it uses long-term foreign currency purchase
                           and sale contracts as a supplement to reduce its
                           overall financial costs as well as to administer its
                           exposure regarding net investments in financial
                           transactions.

                           Foreign currency forward-exchange contracts entered
                           into by the Company generally mature within one
                           period. Premiums on foreign currency forward-exchange
                           contracts are amortized over the life of the
                           respective contracts.

                  -        Interest rate swaps

                           Interest rate swaps are used to hedge interest rate
                           exposure. Interest rate swaps are recognized on an
                           accrual basis, recording the net amount receivable or
                           payable as an adjustment to the interest rate
                           expense. The accrued amount receivable or payable is
                           included as an adjustment to the interest expense.
                           Upon expiry or termination of a swap, the net income
                           or loss realized or pending realization is recognized
                           over the remaining original term if the hedged item
                           remains unpaid, or immediately if the underlying
                           hedged item is not unpaid. If the swap has not
                           expired, or if it expires before maturity, but the
                           underlying hedged item is no longer unpaid, the
                           unrealized income or loss on the interest swap is
                           immediately recognized.

                  currency of the month to which they correspond, restated as
                  mentioned in Note 1.b).

         p.       Results for the period

                  The results for the period are shown as follows:

                  -        Income accounts are shown in currency of the month to
                           which they correspond, and have been restated as
                           mentioned in Note 1.b).

                  -        Charges for assets consumed (fixed asset
                           depreciation, intangible asset amortization and cost
                           of sales) were determined based on the values
                           recorded for such assets.

                  -        Financial gains and losses are included in Note 8,
                           broken down to show those generated by assets and by
                           liabilities.

                  -        Income - (loss) from investments in controlled and
                           affiliated companies was calculated under the equity
                           method, by applying the percentage of the Company's
                           equity interest to the income - (loss) of such
                           companies.

         q.       Estimations

                  The preparation of the financial statements requires
                  management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
                  reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
                  contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
                  financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
                  expenses for the period. Estimates are used when accounting
                  for the depreciation, amortization, impairment of long-lived
                  assets, income taxes and contingencies. Future actual results
                  could differ from the estimates and assumptions prepared at
                  the date of these financial statements.

         r.       Revenue recognition

                  r.1.     Sales of properties

                           The Company records revenue from the sale of
                           properties classified as inventory when all of the
                           following criteria are met:

                           o        the sale has been consummated;
                           o        there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate
                                    the buyer's ability and commitment to pay
                                    for the property;
                           o        the Company's receivable is not subject to
                                    future subordination; and
                           o        the Company has transferred the property to

NOTE 2:  (Continued)

         r.       Revenue recognition (Continued)

                  r.1.     Sales of properties (Continued)


                           The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method
                           of accounting with respect to sales of development
                           properties under construction effected under
                           fixed-price contracts. Under this method, revenue is
                           recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to
                           total estimated costs applied to the total contract
                           price. The Company does not commence revenue and cost
                           recognition until such time as the decision to
                           proceed with the project is made and construction
                           activities have begun. The percentage-of-completion
                           method of accounting requires the Company's
                           management to prepare budgeted costs in connection
                           with sales of properties/units. All changes to
                           estimated costs of completion are incorporated into
                           revised estimates during the contract period.


                  r.2.     Leases

                           Revenues from leases are recognized over the life of
                           the related lease contracts. All revenues are
                           presented net of taxes levied on sales.


         s.       Cash and cash equivalents

                  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
                  original maturities of three months or less, consisting
                  primarily of time deposits, to be cash equivalents.


         t.       Result from operations and holding of real estate

                  The results from operations and holding of real estate assets
                  include the results provided by the valuation and sale of
                  shares in real estate investment companies.

         1.       According to Note 13, these tally with the Negotiable Bonds
                  convertible to stock (CNB) for a total amount of U$S 100
                  million.

         2.       In November 2002, The Company obtained an unsecured loan for a
                  total of U$S 51 million, which falls due on 20 November 2009,
                  with the principal being amortized in 20 quarterly
                  installments with a two-year grace period. U$S 35 million of
                  the principal accrue interest at the LIBO rate over three
                  months plus 200 basis points, and U$S 16 million accrue
                  interest at a fixed rate that is progressively increased. At
                  31 December 2002, it accrues a fixed annual interest rate of
                  5.50% plus an annual LIBO of 1.42%. Interest is payable on a
                  quarterly basis.

                  The terms of the loan require the Company to maintain certain
                  financial covenants and conditions, specific debt/equity
                  ratios, moreover, they also restrict certain investments, the
                  making of payments, the procurement of new loans and the sale
                  of certain assets and other capital investments.

         3.       In November 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company
                  approved the issue of Negotiable Bonds secured by the assets
                  described in Note 12.c. for U$S 37.4 million, which mature on
                  20 November 2009, and have quarterly interest payments at the
                  LIBO rate over three months plus 200 basis points. At 31
                  December 2002 these accrue an annual interest of 1.42% at the
                  LIBO rate.

                  The terms of the loan require the Company to maintain certain
                  financial covenants and conditions, specific debt/equity
                  ratios; they also restrict certain investments, the making of
                  payments, the procurement of new loans and the sale of certain
                  assets and other capital investments.

                  At 31 December 2002 the losses recorded by the Company
                  absorbed over 50% of the capital and reserves. Article 206 of
                  the Company Law establishes a compulsory capital reduction
                  under such circumstances. However, owing to the crisis
                  currently affecting the Republic of Argentina, and through
                  Decree 1269, the National Executive Branch suspended the
                  enforcement of this article until 10 December 2003.

                  The Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholder's Meeting held on 5
                  November 2002 and its recess held on 27 November 2002,
                  approved the distribution of 4,587,285 treasury stock
                  proportionately with the shareholders' holdings and, in
                  accordance with the resolution issued by the Board of
                  Directors on 11 December 2002, such stock was made available
                  to the shareholders as from 19 December 2002.

         b.       Treasury stock

                  The Company repurchases periodically outstanding ordinary
                  shares when it considers that their price is undervalued on
                  the market.

                  During the six - month period ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
                  no treasury shares were bought.

         c.       Restriction on the distribution of profits

                  In accordance with the Argentine Corporations Law and the
                  Company's By-laws, 5% of the net and realized profit for the
                  period calculated in accordance with Argentine GAAP plus
                  (less) prior period adjustments must be appropriated by
                  resolution of the shareholders to a legal reserve until such
                  reserve equals 20% of the Company's outstanding capital. This
                  legal reserve may be used only to absorb losses.

         d.       Noncontributory Management Stock Ownership Plan

                  On October 30, 1997, the shareholders authorized the Company
                  to enter into a Noncontributory Management Stock Ownership
                  Plan ("NMSOP") with eight executive officers of the Company
                  (the "Beneficiaries"), pursuant to which the Beneficiaries
                  were granted the right to purchase up to 24 million shares of
                  common stock (the "Participation Shares"), at a purchase price
                  equal to Ps. 1.0 per share, subject to the implementation of
                  an Equity Participation Agreement ("EPA"). Under Argentine
                  law, the Company established a special purpose trust in this
                  connection (the "Trust").

                  The Beneficiaries were required to purchase the Participation
                  Shares available, if any, within 24 months of any capital
                  increase. The Trust has an original term of six periods.
                  According to the terms of the NMSOP and the Trust,
                  Beneficiaries are not entitled to receive any distributions
                  (either in the form of shares, cash or other) from the Trust
                  during its term, although, Beneficiaries are allowed to cause
                  the Trust to sell their designated shares of common stock held
                  by the Trust in certain cases. In addition, the Company was
                  not allowed to grant any loans or otherwise assist the
                  Beneficiaries in financing the purchase of the Participation
                  Shares.

                  On April 7, 1998, the Company's shareholders, at an
                  extraordinary shareholders' meeting, approved a capital
                  increase of 24 million shares to permit the Beneficiaries to
                  purchase all of the Participation Shares to which they were
                  entitled under the EPA.

                  The BASE and the CNV approved the capital increase on June 4,
                  1999, and on August 31, 1999 the Beneficiaries acquired
                  21,090,024 shares at Ps. 1.0 per share.

                  According to the terms of the Trust Fund, 7,718,701 shares
                  were sold during the month of October, 2002. As a result of
                  this transaction, at 31 December 2002, only 111,575 shares
                  remained with the Recipients.

                  conversion term has expired, including the corresponding
                  capital increase.

         c)       Suppressing the preferential subscription and accretion
                  rights, or reducing the term to exercise the preference, as
                  provided by section 12 of the Negotiable Obligations Law and
                  other applicable regulations.

         d)       Amending article nine (9) of the bylaws to partially adapt its
                  contents to the market circumstances arising from the
                  amendment approved, by replacing 1) the 20% percentage
                  referred to in the amendment to the Bylaws, by the percentage
                  indicated in Decree 677/01, i.e., 35%; and 2) eliminating the
                  negotiable obligations or other convertible debt securities,

         The public offering and listing of the above-mentioned negotiable
         obligations was approved by Resolution No. 14316 of the National
         Securities Commission dated September 24, 2002 and the Buenos Aires
         Stock Exchange, authorizing the issuance for up to US$ 100,000,000 of
         securities consisting of negotiable obligations convertible for
         ordinary shares, bearing interest at an annual rate of 8% and falling
         due in 2007 and which, at the time of their conversion, provide the
         right to options to subscribe 100,000,000 ordinary shares. Furthermore,
         the conversion price and the price of Warrants have been set as
         follows:

         a)       The conversion price is 0.5571 shares (5.5713 GDS), while the
                  price of the Warrant is 0.6686 shares (6.6856 GDS).

         b)       The holder is entitled to exchange each Negotiable Obligation
                  issued by IRSA for 1.7949 shares (0.1795 GDS) and has an
                  option to purchase the same number of shares at the exercise
                  price set for the Warrant.

              NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTD.)


NOTE 13: (Continued)

         As a result of the distribution of 4,587,285 treasury stock, the
         Company has adjusted the conversion price of its Convertible Negotiable
         Bonds in accordance with the terms of the issue. Thus, the conversion
         price of the Negotiable Bonds fell from U$S 0.5571 to U$S 0.54505 and
         the price of execution of the warrants dropped from U$S 0.6686 to U$S
         0.6541. Said adjustment came into force on 20 December 2002.

         The Convertible Negotiable Obligations and options will fall due on
         November 14, 2007.

         The convertible negotiable bonds were underwritten in full and fully
         paid in cash and allocated to the restructuring or partial settlement
         of the Company's financial debt at the time of said underwriting.
         Consequently, the Company's financial debt is detailed in Note 6 to the
         financial statements after the restructuring and placement referred to.

(1)      The increase in the provision for lawsuits was allocated to the note on

         results from the transfer of fixed assets for their subsequent sale.
         This does not have effects on results.

new" condition value, not including land and foundations, due to the
apportionment rules.

Insured amounts correspond to units belonging to the company that are being
sold, and/or units sold under mortgages not having individual policies with
assigned rights.

Notes:

(1)      Insured amounts correspond to the total for the building. The amount
         insured for each co-owner is obtained by applying the percentage of
         co-ownership to the total insurance.

(2)      Insured amounts correspond solely to jointly held areas.

(3)      Insurance purchased by tenants with provisions for the assignment of
         rights.

(4)      Insured amounts correspond to units not yet having a bill of sale.

(5)      Insured amounts correspond to common areas and partially to individual
         areas.


In our opinion, the above-described policies adequately cover current risks.

14.      Not applicable.

15.      See comments in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

16.      Not applicable.

17.      None.

18.      In accordance which was stipulated in loans agreements, the Company
         shall not distribute dividends until this obligations would be
         cancelled.

IQ03 Highlights, including significant operations occurred after December 31,
2002.

I. OFFICES AND OTHER RENTAL PROPERTIES

During the six-month period ended December 31, 2002, revenues from the Company's
rental portfolio reached Ps.9.6 million, as compared to Ps.26.8 million in the
same period for fiscal year 2002. The average occupancy rate registered a rise
from 69% as of September 30, 2002, to 72% as of December 31, 2002. Since the
dramatic collapse of our income after the pesification of our leasing agreements
income has remained pretty stable.

During this quarter, the Company sold some of its rental properties with the aim
to concentrate our ownership in whole buildings.

SALE OF MADERO 1020 OFFICES - On October 31, 2002, our Company sold floor 2 and
8 parking spaces located in the office building of "Madero 1020", for US$
370,000.

SALE OF LIBERTADOR 498 OFFICES - On November 4, 2002, we sold floor 27, 8
parking spaces and 7 complementary units, located in the office building "El
Rulero" (Libertador 498), for a total of US$ 650,000.

II. SHOPPING CENTERS - ALTO PALERMO S.A ("APSA")

As of December 31, 2002, our share in APSA, the leading shopping center company
in Argentina, was of 49,9%. Notwithstanding, by the end of the second quarter of
fiscal year 2003, we acquired 3.4 million additional shares of APSA, increasing
our ownership to 54.9%.

As of December 31, 2002, total revenues were Ps.53.2 million, i.e., 56.4% less
than for the same period of the previous year. The net profit for the six-month
period was Ps.52.8 million, in contrast to the Ps.47.7 million loss for the same
period of the previous year.

The macroeconomic context has been favorable for APSA during this quarter. The
index measuring consumers' confidence reverted the negative trend shown since
early 2001 to reach a 29.6% increase during the last quarter of 2002. On the
other hand, retail inflation, which, during the first nine months of the year
had seriously undermined consumers with a 39.7% increase during the last three
months of 2002, showed a significant deceleration, reaching an additional
increase of only 0.9%. Another variable which positively affected our business
was the increase of tourism in Argentina. By means of strategic marketing
actions, the Company was able to channel to its Shopping Centers the increased
flow of tourists, a kind of public with higher purchasing power and higher
average consumption.

In this way, our lessees' sales were significantly fostered during the three
months ended December 31, 2002, causing them to reach their highest historic
performance in nominal terms by totaling Ps.271.5 million, equivalent to 51.9%
more than the invoicing during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and 13.9%
higher than the invoicing during the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

In view of our lessees' revenues recovery, during this quarter we continue to
apply the Referential Stabilization Coefficient ("CER") upon "pesified"
agreements and reinstated the key money charge upon execution or renewal of
lease agreements in our shopping centers.

APSA's shopping centers received approximately 65.4 million visits during the
last twelve months.

At December 31, 2002, the average level of occupation of APSA shopping centers
(including Mendoza Plaza) was approximately 94.1%.


TARJETA SHOPPING

During this quarter, Tarshop S.A., the credit card company in which the Company
holds an 80% interest, had a 26.4% decrease in its credit card portfolio
(including securitized receivables), from Ps. 71.6 million as of December 31,
2001 to Ps. 52.8 million as of December 31, 2002. In addition, the number of
card holders decreased by 1,753 during this period, amounting to 148,619.

Although Tarjeta Shopping revenues, which were affected by the Argentine
financial crisis, experienced a 57.2% drop during the six month period from Ps.
27.8 million as of December 31, 2001 to Ps. 11.9 million as of December 31,
2002, Tarshop collection evidenced a 22.7% improvement in the bad debt
allowance, from Ps. 7.5 million to Ps. 5.8 million, respectively. In




addition, an improvement of the situation was evidenced in this respect during
the last three months of 2002 as compared to the immediately preceding quarter,
as the charge decreased by 64.2%.

Tarjeta Shopping's share in credit card sales at Alto Palermo, Alto Avellaneda
and Abasto de Buenos Aires as of December 31, 2002 was 4.8%, 29.4% and 16.3%,
respectively. The credit cards activation rate is approximately 59%. The chart
below presents information on the Company's shopping centers as of December 31,
2002.

Revenues from this segment were of Ps.21.5 million during the six-month period
ended December 31, 2002, as compared to Ps.23.3 million recorded during the same
period of fiscal year 2002. This decrease mainly results from the Company's
reduced stock of units available for sale, because of the interruption in the
launching of new projects.

2002, 13 lots of Abril were sold. 19 of the 20 neighborhoods projected for all

IV. HOTELS

Despite the low income that has been historically generated by this business
segment, the devaluation of the Peso has brought about an increase in the inflow
of tourists in Argentina, turning this segment into a more profitable
alternative. This shift has been more intensely sensed as from the beginning of
fiscal year 2003, with a significant increase in the occupancy rate of all of
our hotels.

The Llao Llao Hotel has undergone a successful winter season and during summer
time the same trend is being observed. Tourists from all over the world visit
our country so as to get to know this famous hotel and the surrounding
landscape. In order to satisfy all of our guests needs we have built an outdoors
swimming pool of gigantic dimensions that has got a heating system, enabling its
use during winter as well.

Total revenues from the hotel segment amounted to Ps.16.9 million over the
six-month period ended December 31, 2002, against Ps.21.4 million recorded over
the same period in fiscal year 2002.

Because of the implementation of the new RT4 consolidation method, as from June
2002, revenues from Llao Llao hotel are no longer consolidated.

The chart below shows information regarding our Company's hotels estimated for
the six-month period ended December 31, 2002.

V. FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND OTHERS

IMPACT OF EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS ON THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL POSITION - Our
dollar-denominated liabilities have been positively affected by the 11% Peso
appreciation during the six-month period ended December 31, 2002, generating a
positive result for our Company of Ps.157.7 million. The exposure of our assets
to this same macroeconomic indicator during the same period in fiscal year 2002
generated a loss of Ps.22.3 million. The net result generated by the
appreciation of the Peso was of Ps. 135.4 million and is registered under
"Financial Results". It considerably explains the gain for this period.

RESTRUCTURING OF OUTSTANDING DEBT - On November 15, 2002, we signed a
Refinancing Framework Agreement and on November 21, 2002, the operation was
concreted with our six bank creditors (Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, BankBoston,
Banco Ciudad, HSBC, Banco Itau and Banco Nacion) to refinance the Syndicated US$
80 million Loan and the outstanding US$ 37.0 million Floating Rate Notes under
the following scheme:

I. US$ 13.6 million cash down payment reducing the principal;

II. US$ 15.0 million of the 8% Convertible Notes due 2007 subscribed by
BankBoston swapping old debt;

III. US$ 37.4 million Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2009 with an interest rate
of 90-day LIBOR plus 200 basic points. These Notes are secured with a first
priority mortgage on some of our real estate properties for a 50% value of the
debt; and

IV. US$ 51.0 million Unsecured Credit Facility due 2009. 69% of the Facility
bears an interest rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 200 basic points while the remaining
bears a fixed step up rate ranging from 5.5% to 6.5%.

ISSUE OF BONDS CONVERTIBLE INTO ORDINARY SHARES OF OUR COMPANY - The Company's
successful offering of up to US$ 100 million Convertible Notes ended on November
21, 2002. Convertible notes are accompanied by non-detachable warrants that
enable the purchase of additional shares of our common stock. These notes bear
an 8% interest per year and mature in November 2007. The conversion price is of
US$ 0.5450 per share, meaning that every convertible note can be exchanged for
1.8349 common shares. The proceeds of the convertible notes' offering have been
mostly used to cancel and restructure our liabilities outstanding at the moment,
remaining US$ 55 million cash position for working capital.

GOLDMAN SACHS DEBT CANCELLATION - On December 4, 2002 we have cancelled our debt
with GSEM/AP Holdings, LP (Goldman Sachs), consisting in US$ 16.3 million of
principal plus accrued interest as of today, for a total of US$ 11.1 million.

DISTRIBUTION OF TREASURY SHARES - As of December 19, 2002, 4,587,285 treasury
shares of our Company have been distributed among the shareholders,
proportionally to their shareholdings. This distribution represents a 2.21% of
the outstanding capital stock.



ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES DUE 2007 - As a result of
the distribution of 4,587,285 treasury shares, the Company has adjusted the
conversion price of the notes according to what has been stipulated in the
issuance clauses. Due to such adjustment the conversion price of the notes goes
from US$ 0.5571 to US$ 0.5450 and the exercise price for the warrants goes from
US$ 0.6686 to US$ 0.6541. This adjustment is in force as from December 20, 2002.

PURCHASE OF APSA'S SHARES AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES - During January 2003, we have
acquired 3.4 million additional shares of APSA, thus our ownership in the
company adds up to 54.9%. Moreover, we have acquired 2.6 million of APSA's
Convertible Notes that together with the 27,324,848 convertible notes subscribed
at the moment of the issuance, amount to 59.9% of the convertible notes issued
by our subsidiary.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE GRADING OF OUR CONVERTIBLE NOTES' GLOBAL PROGRAM FOR UP TO
US$ 250 MILLION - On January 28, 2002, Fitch, a grading agency, raised the grade
of our Convertible Notes' Global Program for up to US$ 250 million, from C (arg)
to B- (arg). The raise in the grade is due to the restructuring of our debt by
which we have extended all maturities on a long-term basis. Our Secured Debt for
US$ 37.4 million has been issued under this program.

VII. BRIEF COMMENTS ON PROSPECTS FOR THE ONCOMING QUARTER

We believe that the worst has been overcome and, as evidenced by history, deep
crisis bring about opportunities and growth.

Our Company was able to face the adverse conditions arisen during the Argentine
crisis and was one of the very few companies which avoided a default. The
successful subscription of our Convertible Bonds has evidenced the confidence
place upon us both by the domestic and the international markets. Banks have
also contributed to refinance our debt with longer terms and lower interest
rates.

The proceeds from the Convertible Bonds have placed us in a privileged cash
position, which will enable us to take advantage of the opportunities appearing
in the market, especially at a time when property prices have significantly
dropped.

As regards Argentina, although the refinancing of debt maturities with the IMF
enables to reduce the economic uncertainty, the political-electoral map
continues to be complex, it being the main obstacle to prepare macroeconomic
forecasts.

Luiz Inacio da Silva's administration in Brazil showed a good start, which is
reflected by the improvement of the main financial indicators, but some risks
still continue to exist.

We are optimistic as to the future. Our cautious performance has caused us to
attain an outstanding position in the market and its confidence will enable us
to keep on growing. The time of adjustment is coming to an end and as soon as
the conditions exist we will put into practice the projects postponed by the
recession.

                       INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
IRSA INVERSIONES Y REPRESENTACIONES SOCIEDAD ANONIMA


1.     We have reviewed the balance sheets of IRSA Inversiones y
       Representaciones Sociedad Anonima at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
       related statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of
       cash flows for the six-month periods then ended, and the complementary
       notes 1 to 13 and exhibits A to I. In addition, we have reviewed the
       consolidated financial statements of IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones
       Sociedad Anonima and subsidiaries for the six-month periods the ended.
       These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
       management.

2.     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
       Technical Resolution No. 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional
       Councils of Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial
       statements. A review of interim financial information consists
       principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and
       making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
       matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
       accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
       which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
       taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

3.     The Company has prepared the financial statements following the valuation
       criteria established by the Comision Nacional de Valores, which as
       explained in Note 1 c) differ from certain aspect of prevailing
       accounting standards in Argentina. The effect on the financial statements
       arising from the different valuation criteria have not been quantified by
       the Company and we have not been able, through the performance of other
       auditing procedures, to estimate the impact on the financial statements
       of this divergence from professional accounting standards in Argentina.

4.     As detailed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, as result
       of the economic crisis in Argentina, the period under consideration was
       affected by the measures adopted by the National Government. The future
       evolution of the crisis may require that the Government modify some of
       the measures adopted or issue additional regulations. Consequently, the
       Company's financial statements must be read in the light of these
       circumstances.

5.     Our report dated September 9, 2002 on the financial statements at June
       30, 2002 and 2001 included a qualification referred to the uncertainty as
       to whether the Company would be in a position to continue to operate as
       going concern. As mentioned in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
       statements, the restructuring of the Company's debt was satisfactorily
       completed in November 2002. Consequently, our report on the financial
       statements at December 31, 2002 does not longer contain the mentioned
       observation.
