Hello, good morning everybody. We are beginning our second quarter 2015 conference call. If we go to page number two, we see the main highlights for this semester. We are seeing the progress of the season 2014-2015, in our farms; in general, the climate conditions are very good. I would say that in the four countries that we are today, majority of the crops are expected to be in very good shape. At the same time, because of the record of the United States corn and soybeans harvest, we saw a big drop on the prices and this is affecting the operational business of Cresud, and the whole farmers in the world. But because of our model, we are not so concerned, because we are very, always expecting more in the real estate and the development part of the business. The depressed commodity prices in Argentina, an example, is offset in many parts because of the country is expecting very high yields, and so some of the operational is going to be positive. In the financial result of the six months, for this period, we grew in our balance sheet to 2.9000 million pesos that is a 37.6% comparing to last year. And the operational income we achieved 1,400 million pesos that is a 283% comparing to last year. The net income for this period is a loss of 163 million pesos comparing to a 354 million pesos and to the Cresud’s shareholders it’s a loss of 260 million pesos comparing to last year of 332 million pesos. And Matias, our CFO, will explain later the big differences. The operating results; we estimated planted area to 211,000 hectares. At the end, we are planting a little less. We are going to explain later. We are developing almost 12,000 hectares on…

Thank you, Alejandro. Good morning everyone. If we go to slide six, annual appreciation of farmland in the region, as can be seen in the graph, there has been a solid appreciation throughout the region with a slight decrease in Argentina. The appreciation in Brazil in the last year was 9% to 11%. Appreciation in Bolivia was 6% and in Paraguay was 11% in developed land and 67% in undeveloped land. Let's go to slide seven, good weather condition. The good weather condition in the region allowed the positive start during the planting moment, and we are expecting good weather condition until the end of the campaign. Consolidated planting progress is near to 90% finishing this month. We can see in the map, Argentina presents good water reserves, in general, and some excess of rain in the east of the country, like Alejandro mentioned before. Weather conditions in Brazil were normal in the last quarter and remained stable throughout the period. Rains in Bolivia returned to the normal levels during the last quarter and the Paraguay also presents good weather results. Let's go to the slide six, the ESVA estimation for crop productions Argentina's soybean production for this campaign is expected to increase 5%, reaching 57 million tons, due to the good weather conditions. With regard to corn, we are expecting 22 million tons for this campaign. This downward trend is in direct relation to the corn price. Soybean production in Brazil continued with its upward trend and an 8% rise is expected reaching 94 million tons. Corn production decreased 5% reaching 75 million tons, also due to the price factor, which will mainly affect Safrinha's corn productions. Regarding the United States, soybean and corn reached the anticipated record levels, which originated as fall in price in both crops. Both…

Thank you, Carlos. Going to page 10, here we can see the breakdown of our investment in IRSA our urban real estate segments. We had this quarter – this semester very good results in all the rental segments. In shoppings, we increased revenues by 27% and EBITDA by 29%. In offices, we increased 34% in revenue, 63% in EBITDA. Hotels were also a good result, with 73% in revenues and 22% in hotels. Pace of development were lower than the previous semester, mainly because of the lack of stock in this semester compared with the previous one. Last year, we have been delivering units of our Horizon project that this year we didn’t have any stock remaining. And also this semester we sold a lot of office properties, office floors for around 800 million pesos that it was an important increase in EBITDA in this segment for 478 million pesos. So in terms of margins, shopping centers remained at levels of 80% offices increased to 73.1% and hotels in the same line of the previous quarter of 8%. The breakdown of our EBITDA in the real estate segment, shopping center remained the more important segment, leaving aside the effect, the one shot effect that we this year, because of the sales of Madison building in Manhattan and some offices in Buenos Aires, we have 83% EBITDA that came from our shopping center segment and 15% from our office portfolio. Going to next page, here we have the evolution and the main difference from our financial segment compared the previous quarter with previous semester with this semester. So starting this semester with a loss of 354 million pesos, the main effects for this semester were in the grain and sugarcane segment, reduction of 20 million pesos. So here we have two…

Thank you. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Federico Rey with Raymond James.

Yes, hi, good morning and thank you for opportunity. I have a general question regarding the prices in the real estate market. I was taking a look at the slide number six, and I was wondering the reason behind the decline in real estate prices that you're showing there. And my question is, this is the result of the level of development of the rural real estate market in Argentina and the development of the farming sector or this is a reflection of the conditions that are suffering today in the real estate market in Argentina with the restriction with the acquisition of all assets et cetera? And secondly, if you believe that there is any kind of relationship between what's going on in the rural real estate market and the prices in the urban real estate market? Thanks.

The drop in the country and we are thinking that there was a small drop in dollars and it's affected mainly because of state poll that is affecting the real estate transactions in the country. The farm industry, because of the drop of the prices of the commodities, decreases the margins. You know that in general, the farms are times earnings and so the effect of a drop on the prices, the exchange rate situation made it tougher market for the real estate, mainly in Argentina. This is affecting less in Brazil and in the region. And so, Argentina today is in a situation of – there are small number of transactions. Really, the market is very quiet, because everybody is expecting a different environment for the commodities. What does it mean? Could come two effects; that the commodities rebound, or a drop in the taxes on exports that everyone is expecting too. So, this is making our market have some drop, but not big and not a lot of operations. And the rest of the market of the real estate is enough steam and we think that there are lot of opportunities to sell and we are expecting to do that in the rest of the countries in the region. And I hope that I explained you clear the real estate situation on the land.

Yeah. Thank you. That’s clear now. Thank you.

[Operator Instructions] Your next question comes from the line of Rodrigo Mugaburu with Morgan Stanley.

I have a follow-up question on the land. Basically, don't you think that this is an opportunity to buy land? If next year, we see some changes on taxes in Argentina, don't you think this could be a good entry point to buy land? And then the second question also regarding to some changes next year. Cattle prices, do you think that the business – I mean if we see an opinion on exports for meat follow in 2016, it's another good opportunity to increase your exposure there?

On the beef, we're not expecting to grow a lot in the stock. The beef industry today, in dollar terms, in Argentina, is very expensive, depending the dollar you’re calculating that to the formal official dollar, today it's very expensive comparing to Brazil prices. So it could be an opening but at the same time, today still it's at almost $3. So it’s much more expensive than the rest of the country. So it depends on how you make the calculation. And in the – to buy land in the country, we are – that we were very active buying very contrarian and you don't buy for a 10% gain. We and our philosophy of Company was when there is a big drop or really a big room of growth of price, you take that. So to buy just for a 10% or 20%, this is not the philosophy of Cresud. In general, we are big buyers where no one is buying and we are sellers when no one – our philosophy is not for short movement. Now, we're still selling, because the prices of the land are still – we made lot of gains. To see us to buy land in the country, the drop of the price could be much bigger. And if this is the case and the commodity prices keep very low and we see that drop in Argentina or somewhere else, maybe in the States or somewhere else, we could be buying contrarian. We don't do for a small drop.

Okay. Thank you. Alejandro. End of Q&A

There are no further questions. At this time, I will turn the floor back to Mr. Alejandro Elsztain for any closing remarks.

Just for – thank you everybody – thanks everybody. We expect the next two quarters of Cresud are the operational, mainly for the crop and we expect to keep doing our business. So thank you very much and have a very good day for everybody. Bye.
