Sales rose 22% to Ps. 956 million. Operating results increased 28%, to Ps. 359 million. Net income totaled Ps. 107 million, compared to Ps. 142 million in the same period of the previous fiscal year, mainly due to lower income from our interest in IRSA. The positive trend in crop, beef cattle and milk prices continues. Operating results from the agribusiness segments amounted to a profit of Ps. 65 million compared to a loss of Ps. 5 million in the first semester of the previous fiscal year. This seasons planted area will increase by 20% to 184,000 hectares, including 100% of planted areas by Brasilagro. Cresud increased its holding in Brasilagro to 35.75%, thus augmenting its exposure to a regional portfolio of farms with high potential for development. Cresuds agribusiness activities in the international sphere have shown improved results due to the good performance of summer crops in Bolivia. Cresud distributed dividends for Ps. 69 million, which were paid in the month of January

Press Release

Buenos Aires, February 11, 2011 - Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A. (Nasdaq: CRESY BASE: CRES), one of the leading agricultural companies in Argentina, announces today its results for the first semester of fiscal year 2011 ended December 31, 2010.

Consolidated agribusiness sales for the period amounted to Ps. 257.9 million, 116.1% higher than those posted for the first six months of the previous fiscal year. This increase was caused mainly by farm sales of Ps. 71.1 million resulting from the sale of La Juanita farm, a 54.6% increase in the sales of crops and a 272.5% increase in the sales of beef cattle compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Agribusiness production revenues amounted to Ps. 89.9 million in the period ended December 31, 2010, 112.0% higher than those recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year. The increase is explained mainly by a 122.8% rise in grain production and a 166.9% increase in the beef cattle segment.

Consolidated sales in the real estate business were Ps. 698.0 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010. This represents an improvement from the Ps. 664.6 million in sales for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Gross profit during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 amounted to Ps. 505.9 million compared to Ps. 426.4 million during the same period of the previous year. The increase of Ps. 79.5 million in the gross profit between both periods mainly reflects an improvement of Ps. 78.3 million in the agribusiness segment and of Ps. 1.2 million in the real estate business.

Operating results for the period showed a Ps. 359.4 million profit, composed of operating income of Ps. 294.2 million in IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. (IRSA)s segments for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 and a Ps. 65.3 million profit from Cresuds agribusiness activities for the same period. This represents an improvement of Ps. 79.0 million as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. This is explained mainly by an increase of Ps. 70.3 million in agribusiness operating results, prompted by higher prices and margins in the beef cattle segment, and the gain resulting from the sale of La Juanita farm.

Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2011 amounted to Ps. 107.0 million, compared to a Ps. 141.8 million income posted in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This is explained mainly by the higher financial burden resulting from the issuance of debt securities by our subsidiary IRSA and lower results from our interest in subsidiaries.

Summary of Operations
Crops
In Argentina, although the drought conditions affected production forecasts, lowering them by 6% for corn and 3% for soybean according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the wheat harvest has hit record figures. The expected reduction in production at country level, which is not as serious as in the 2008 season, has been largely offset by the increase in prices, which rose 90% for corn and 48% for soybean during this period, according to CBOT quotations. For this season we have 59,561 hectares in operation in our own farms, 51,927 in leased farms and 10,467 in farms under concession, totaling approximately 122 thousand hectares. In Argentina, we have already planted approximately 8,060 hectares of wheat, 28,238 hectares of soybean and 29,948 hectares of corn. In Bolivia, thanks to double harvesting we were able to plant during the summer season, reaching approximately 15,566 hectares of soybean and 3,940 hectares of corn. If we consider the exploited hectares operated by BrasilAgro and AgroUranga S.A., the aggregate planted surface area would stand at approximately 184 thousand hectares, an increase of more than 20% compared to the hectares in operation in the previous season. Production revenues rose 122.8%, from Ps. 25.5 million to Ps. 56.9 million. This increase reflects a 103% increase in production amounts and to a 10% extent, by higher prices, reaching an average price per ton of Ps. 649. In this way, we achieved a production result of Ps. 8.7 million, spurred mostly by the international segment thanks to double harvesting. Sales revenues rose 55% as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 69.7 million to Ps. 107.9 million. This increase is explained by a 31% improvement in sales volumes and to an 18% extent, by higher prices, achieving an average sales price of Ps. 799 per ton. Therefore, income from sales tripled as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 5.9 million to Ps. 15.4 million. The lower increases in sales and production prices compared to the general evolution of commodity prices in the past year were motivated by a change in the production and sales mix, in which corn has increased its share. Gross profit for the period quadrupled, from Ps. 6.0 million to Ps. 24.1 million.

Beef Cattle
During this semester live steer prices increased by 103% in Argentina according to figures released by the Ministry of Agriculture. This improvement in prices has resulted in a reduction in heifer slaughtering rates, showing a reversion in the trend which had brought Argentine cattle stocks down to an all-time low since 1989. As of December 31, 2010 we had 101,722 hectares allocated to beef cattle production. Sales revenues increased 273% as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, from Ps. 10.0 million to Ps. 37.4 million. This increase is explained by a 47% improvement in amounts sold and to a 153% extent, by higher prices. Production revenues increased by 167% as compared to the same period of the previous year, from Ps. 5.5 million to Ps. 14.7 million. This increase is explained by a 34% improvement in amounts produced and to a 99% extent, by higher prices. Gross profit improved from a Ps. 4.8 million loss in the first semester of fiscal year 2010 to a Ps. 2.0 million profit in this period, explained by an improvement in production margins. Operating results of the beef cattle segment tripled as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, up from Ps. 13.1 million to Ps. 41.8 million. This improvement was caused mainly by holding results for Ps. 47.8 million, resulting from the strong appreciation of the stock experienced recently as a consequence of the improvement in beef cattle prices.

Press Release

Milk
Prices have shown signs of stability, underpinned in part by the high international prices of powder milk. Operating results in the milk segment amounted to an income of Ps. 3.1 million gain in the first semester of fiscal year 2011, compared to a Ps. 0.6 million loss in the same semester of the previous fiscal year. This improvement is explained by higher production revenues, which were spurred by a 5.5% increase in the liters of milk produced and an improvement of approximately 53.0% in average milk prices during the period, as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Sale of Farms
On September 3, 2010, Cresud executed a title deed whereby it sold and surrendered possession of the La Juanita farm. The transaction was agreed for a total price of US$ 18.0 million. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately Ps. 49.4 million. Within the framework of the transaction, the Company signed a commodatum agreement until January 10, 2011 on some fractions of the abovementioned property, with the intention to continue with productive activities there until such date.

Press Release BrasilAgro has ended its summer planting for the 2010/2011 crop season with 58,500 hectares planted, as per the following breakdown: 39,200 hectares of soybean, 6,400 of corn, rice and cotton, 4,400 of pastures and 8,500 hectares of sugar cane. During this semester, BrasilAgro increased its net sales of crops by 186% as compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, from R$ 5.5 million to R$ 15.7 million, as a result of the increase in planted areas and yields. In addition, sugar cane was added during this season, resulting in net sales of R$ 17.5 million. All of this favorably impacted on Cresud, with positive results of Ps. 1.2 million. On January 20 an appraisal of BrasilAgros farms was made, which resulted in an amount of R$ 816 million, 109% higher than the aggregate amount invested in such farms. On January 3, 2011, BrasilAgro filed its issuance prospectus with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) for it to review the registration of a primary public offering of common shares issued by the Company (Offer and Shares), whose related capital increase will be resolved upon by its Board of Directors in due course. Execution of Addendum to Stock Purchase Agreement with Tarpon In October 2010, Cresud directly and indirectly purchased 9,581,750 common shares of BrasilAgro - Companhia Brasileira Propiedades Agrcolas (BrasilAgro). As consideration, Cresud paid R$ 76,074,205 between October and December, and the price balance, of R$ 52,551,490, is payable on April 27, 2011. The price balance is secured by a pledge over 3,864,086 shares. 64,000 first issue warrants and 64,000 second issue warrants were also purchased. Therefore, at present Cresud holds a 35.75% interest in BrasilAgro.

Prospects for next quarter


At global level, crop prices have increased sharply in the recent months. In Chicago, soybean price rose 25.9% during the second quarter of this fiscal year. There is a correlation between these increases and the USDAs downward revisions of U.S. crop forecasts. The lower than expected supply and the firm demand prompted by the growth experienced in the large emerging economies have had a strong impact on prices. Grain inventory stocks relative to consumption levels are at historically lows (reaching the lowest figures for the past 15 and 30 years in the case of corn and soybean, respectively), another factor that squeezes future supply even further, fueling price increases.

Press Release On the other hand, the uncertainty related to the value of fiduciary currencies resulting from the various monetary flexibilization programs implemented by central banks at world level boosts the potential for appreciation of the real assets in Cresuds portfolio: commodities and real estate. At production level, prospects are promising. The wheat season has been excellent and the potential reduction in soybean and corn yields due to the La Nia weather effect has been offset by higher prices. In addition, we continue to increase our planted hectares, which have risen by 20% to 184 thousand in the current fiscal year, including Brasilagro. In this sense, the consummation of our purchase of Brasilagros stake marks a continuation in our strategy to penetrate in the region and increase production volumes, in line with our objective of forming a regional portfolio with significant development and appreciation potential. In Argentina, we are making progress in our strategy of supplementing agriculture in our own farms with agricultural activities in leased farms and farms under concession. As regards leases, we have focused on renting lands in more centric areas, seeking to stabilize yields and supplement our development activities in our own farms. As concerns transforming and adding value to our own hectares, we will continue developing our farms in Salta and Paraguay, where we expect to develop 16 thousand additional hectares to be placed into production in fiscal year 2012. Finally, as concerns our dairy business, following the sale of the La Juanita establishment we will focus on milk production in our state-of-the-art dairy facility in El Tigre, which we plan to operate at full capacity. In this way, the actions described above related to the expansion of planted areas and the increase in Brasilagros stake are aimed at obtaining higher volumes in a scenario of attractive market prices.
