In accordance with the Article o), Section 63 of the above referenced rules, the Company informed that as of the end of the Financial Statements period the authorized capital of the Company is Ps. 313,396,410.- Its share composition is divided in 313,396,410 of registered common stock of face value Ps. 1 each, and with right to 1 vote each.

As of September 30, 2007 the amount of 210,853,468 common stock of face value Ps. 1 each and with right to 1 vote each are not hold by the principal shareholders. It amount of shares represent 67.3% of the issued authorized outstanding capital.

The principal shareholder is Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. with 101,776,194 shares, which represent the 32.5% of the issued authorized outstanding capital.

On November 2002, the Company issued Convertible Notes with option to buy additional shares. If the Company’s entire holders of Convertible Notes exercise at the end of the period its conversion right the amount of shares would rise to 317,183,572; and if the holders exercise its warrants the amount of its shares would rise to 321,212,198. Inversiones Financieras del Sur S.A. does not have neither Convertible Notes nor warrants of the Company, as they were converted and exercised on March 31, 2007.

 

   

Results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 showed a net loss of Ps.12.6 million compared to a Ps.1.9 million profit posted in the same period of the previous fiscal year. This decrease is mainly explained by the negative results derived from our interest in related companies, which decreased by Ps.12.0 million, and to a lesser extent by the higher operating losses recorded during the first quarter, as the crop season is at its initial stages.


   

We have already sown 100% of the land intended for wheat, 25% of the soybean, 90% of the corn and 80% of the sunflower. In addition, we have increased the amount of hectares allocated to crop production (+25%), beef cattle breeding and fattening (+6%) and milk production (57%), and both output quantities and prices at the closing of IQ 08 have risen as compared to the closing of IQ 07.

 

   

In August 2007, we executed a preliminary sales agreement without transfer of possession in connection with 4,974 hectares of the “Los Pozos” establishment. The agreed sales price was US$ 1.1 million, i.e. US$ 225.0 per hectare. Income derived from this sale will be approximately US$ 1.0 million, to be reflected in the next quarter. It should be noted that the parcel sold under this transaction was recorded in the Company’s books at US$ 7.0 per hectare.

 

   

BrasilAgro entered into agreements for the purchase of three additional properties: “Araucária” of 15,543 hectares in Mineiros (GO), “Alto Taquari” of 5,266 hectares in Alto Taquari (MT) and a third property of 37,799 hectares in Correntina (BA).

 

   

After the closing of the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on October 10, 2007 approved the distribution of cash dividends for Ps.8,25 million.

 

   

Conversions of Notes and Warrants are being completed, resulting in 313,4 million outstanding shares out of an aggregate of 321,2 million that would result upon total conversion of these securities.

 

   

We expect to carry out a capital increase by the issuance of shares of stock, for the purpose of further consolidating our businesses in the region and at minimum maintaining our interest in IRSA.
