PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information about us and our common shares. Before investing in the common shares, you should read this entire prospectus carefully for a more complete understanding of our business and this offering, including our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes, and the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Regulatory and Environmental Overview” included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our Company

We are one of the largest corporate agricultural landholders and operators in Uruguay and a leading producer of agricultural products for export to the global market. We have grown rapidly since our formation in 2008 and have fully paid for and acquired approximately 84,670 hectares of agricultural land in Uruguay for our operations. Substantially all of our land is held under promesas, pursuant to which we expect to receive title at a later date. See “Business—Farmland Overview.” Our diversified agricultural operations include crops (soybeans and wheat), rice, dairy, cattle, sheep and other products (blueberries and honey). By combining our management’s experience and operational knowledge with state-of-the-art agricultural techniques, we have created a hard-to-replicate agricultural production platform in Uruguay.

We are focused on acquiring high-quality agricultural land that we believe is underutilized, developing such land for increased productivity and exploiting it in an efficient and sustainable manner. We have demonstrated our ability to identify attractive land acquisition opportunities by acquiring approximately 84,670 hectares since our formation in 2008, and signed contracts to purchase an additional 7,718 hectares of land, for a total average cost of approximately $3,213 per hectare. As of April 30, 2011, 70,901 hectares of our land, or 83.7% of our total land holdings, was valued at approximately $270.0 million by Deloitte S.C. We purchased this land for a total purchase price of $220.3 million. Based on Deloitte S.C.’s appraisal, as of April 30, 2011 the value of the properties appraised by Deloitte S.C. exceeded the purchase price by more than 20%. The price of agricultural land in Uruguay increased approximately 540% from 2001 to 2010. See “Business—Land—Price Development.” These land acquisitions have enabled us to rapidly expand our production scale, diversify our product and revenue mix and achieve significant negotiation power in the sale of our products.

After acquisition of new land, our focus is on rapidly optimizing its use, for example, by planting soybeans or rice on land previously only used for cattle grazing. We have an in-house group of agronomists and over 300 farmland employees to plan and execute our optimization process to increase productivity and returns on our acquired land. To further enhance our efficiency, we organize our operations by productive regions, with a dedicated manager and technical staff supervising nearby farmlands. Each regional manager is guided by a plan developed by management based on analyses of product performance metrics. This allows us to reduce our personnel and machinery expenses. By consolidating land in proximity, we reduce potential economies of scale for new entrants and increase barriers to entry for competitors. Finally, we impose tight controls on our costs of operations by managing all planning, hiring and purchasing activities centrally from our headquarters in Montevideo. To support these centralized operations, we rely on our ISO 9001-certified processes and our custom-built information management system. We believe our processes and system allow us to control our input costs and negotiate lower purchasing prices and higher selling prices.

We have financed our land acquisitions solely with funds from private placements of our common shares. Since our initial private placement in 2008 through March 31, 2011, we have raised aggregate net proceeds of $353.3 million. We believe that listing our shares in the public capital markets should allow us to access a larger pool of capital and enable us to accelerate our growth plan. We recorded net losses of $1.6 million and $0.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and have recorded cumulative net losses of $4.6 million since our formation in 2008.

Our strategy is to continue to expand our operations by acquiring more high-quality land that we believe is underutilized in Uruguay at attractive prices, and to be a large low-cost producer of food for global export. We intend to continue integrating new land acquisitions into our operations in order to increase our operational efficiency, continue to gain economies of scale, and to enhance profitability. Finally, we plan to achieve higher returns by leveraging our existing investments in employees, equipment and infrastructure for use on leased farmland close to our lands, with minimum additional investment.

Under the laws of Uruguay, we are not permitted to obtain legal title to rural land without first obtaining governmental authorization. As a result, we acquire land in Uruguay under purchase promise agreements, or promesas. Under a promesa, the seller agrees to transfer legal title to us once the requisite governmental authorization has been obtained. We pay the full purchase price of the land at the time of execution of a promesa and have full rights to use such land, as well as the right to sell, transfer or assign the promesa and the rights to the underlying land to a third-party purchaser. Approximately 99.8% of our land is held under promesas. We recently obtained governmental authorization to obtain title to 17,846 hectares of land we hold under promesas, or 21% of our total land holdings. We have applied for governmental authorization to obtain title with respect to 66,645 hectares of land we hold under promesas, or 78.7% of our total land holdings, and we currently expect to obtain such governmental authorization by June 2012. In addition, as of July 1, 2011, under the laws of Uruguay, we are not entitled to use rural land without first obtaining governmental authorization. Until June 30, 2011, we were permitted to use 64,505 hectares of our land we hold under promesas, or 76.2% of our total land holdings, pursuant to an exemption under the law. On June 22, 2011, we applied for governmental authorization to continue using such land. On June 23, 2011, the executive branch of the Uruguayan government issued a decree confirming that companies that had properly applied to obtain authorization could continue to use the land pending government determination of their applications. We expect to obtain this authorization 30 business days after the date we made the application, although there can be no assurance that the government will not deny the application. A proper application to obtain governmental authorization under the expedited process is an application submitted to the Uruguayan Ministry of Fishing, Agriculture and Livestock, or the MFAL, by an entity that has obtained prior authorization to own or use land and has timely requested that such authorization be extended to own or use additional land. We have concluded that we properly applied for governmental authorization and therefore are permitted to continue using the 64,505 hectares of land because the application was submitted by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Boisy S.A., which had previously obtained governmental authorization to use land, and that such application was submitted on June 22, 2011, and therefore it was timely filed. The Uruguayan government will review the application based on three factors: whether the applicant had previously received governmental authorization to use land; whether the land that is the subject of the application can be used for the requested purposes; and whether the application was timely filed. We fully expect that we will be granted the authorization under the expedited process based on (1) a certificate issued to us by the MFAL on June 24, 2011, certifying that the Uruguayan government does not have any comments with respect to the application as of the date of such certificate and (2) direct discussions with officials of the MFAL, who have indicated that such authorization is expected to be granted upon the expiration of the 30 business day waiting period. There can be no assurance that the government will not deny the expedited process application. If our application for authorization to use the land is denied under the expedited process, processing of our application will continue under the standard process, which process generally takes 12 to 16 months from the date of application to complete. However, during such time, we would continue to be able to use the land that is the subject of the standard authorization process. We are currently authorized to use all of our land held under promesas, as the use of all of our land held under promesas has either been authorized by the Uruguayan government or is subject to applications for authorization. Upon the completion of this offering, we intend to submit an application for governmental authorization to obtain title to, and use of, our lands held under promesas under a different provision of the applicable law, namely the public company exception, which we would be permitted to apply for once this offering is completed and our common shares are traded on the NYSE, which we refer to as the Public Company Exception. We fully expect that we will receive such authorizations under the Public Company Exception in due course following completion of this offering. If, however, the Uruguayan government denies our requests for authorization under the exemptions available to us, or it is determined that

the required authorization has not been adequately obtained, we could lose our rights to the use of such land, and any of our subsidiaries that has not obtained such authorization would be required to dissolve and liquidate its assets to our parent company. Although we do not intend to do so, we also have the right at any time to, and could, sell the promesas to a third-party purchaser at market value. See “Business—Farmland Overview.”

Our Strengths

We believe the following are our competitive strengths:

•

Unique farmland portfolio benefiting from the strategic advantages of Uruguay. We have acquired approximately 84,670 hectares of agricultural land in Uruguay on which we produce a diversified range of agricultural products for export to the global market. Our farmland portfolio makes us one of the largest corporate agricultural landholders in Uruguay and we believe this places us in a favorable competitive position that is very difficult to replicate by potential competitors. We believe Uruguay offers unique competitive advantages for agricultural exploitation and business development and has significant amounts of high-quality arable land that is currently underutilized. According to a 2007 FAO study, Uruguay has the world’s top rated soil quality. In addition, according to GeoNova, the country’s abundant rainfall, freshwater resources and moderate temperatures offer an ideal climate for agricultural production, allowing for two annual harvests by mixing certain crops such as planting soybeans and wheat in separate harvests in the same year. Furthermore, Uruguay’s trade relationships, infrastructure and close proximity to maritime transportation make it ideally suited for exporting agriculture production to the global market. Finally, we believe that Uruguay benefits from a stable political environment with limited land use regulation and low taxation compared to other countries in South America.

•

Proven track record of acquiring high-quality farmland. Our in-house farmland acquisition team has been able to quickly deploy our capital to acquire approximately 84,670 hectares of agricultural land in Uruguay since our formation in 2008. For example, we have already acquired approximately 36,000 hectares of land using approximately $130.0 million of the $155.0 million of net proceeds we received from our last private placement in December 2010 and January 2011. We believe that the farmland we have acquired is high-quality based on Uruguay’s top-rated soil quality, abundant rainfall, freshwater resources and moderate climate allowing for two annual harvests.

•

Identified pipeline provides substantial growth opportunities. According to the FAO, Uruguay has 14.2 million hectares of arable land, of which only 1.7 million hectares were cultivated in 2008. Our management team has identified approximately 145,000 hectares of underutilized land for potential acquisitions in the short term. We believe that this pipeline will provide us with the ability to acquire additional land at attractive prices, as we have done in the past. For example, between January and March 2011, we acquired an additional 7,677 hectares of land at an aggregate cost of $31.7 million.

•

Ability to develop underutilized land with a diversified business model and operating efficiency. We have acquired land that we believe was underutilized, either because it was used for a single and less efficient purpose than our intended use or because of the previous owners’ investment restrictions. We seek to optimize our operations and cost structure through the deployment of state-of-the-art agricultural techniques, including crop rotation systems and double cropping, which we believe allow us to achieve increased efficiency, enhanced returns and higher margins relative to other local competitors. To further our operating expertise and mitigate risks, we have developed a diversified portfolio of agricultural products, including wheat, soybeans, rice, dairy, cattle, sheep, blueberries and honey. This business model allows us to reduce the risks associated with climatic conditions that may adversely affect a particular product and lessens our exposure to the volatility of prices for a specific

commodity. Moreover, our crops are harvested at different points throughout the year, which enables us to better leverage capital allocated to harvesting machinery and reduces working capital needs.

•

Economies of scale provide us with negotiation power and lower our production costs. As a landholder of approximately 84,670 hectares of productive agricultural land, we have attained the size to achieve significant economies of scale in our agricultural operations. Currently, we have active operations on 75,414 hectares of land, or approximately 89.1% of our 84,670 hectares of land. With our size of operations, we are able to obtain higher selling prices for our products and better terms in the purchase of our primary supplies. We are also able to lower our costs of production by consolidating our personnel and machinery expenses. Our operations benefit from our ability to purchase state-of-the-art machinery and equipment that would not be economically viable for smaller enterprises.

•

Experienced local management with ownership stake. Our senior management team has an average of approximately 25 years of experience. Members of our management team have been active in the Latin American agricultural sector since the 1980s. Our founders, directors and management own approximately 5.8% of our company before giving effect to this offering, which we believe creates a strong alignment of incentives.

Our Business Strategy

The key elements of our business strategy are:

•

Acquire and develop underutilized farmland at attractive prices. Our objective is to increase our landholdings in Uruguay to 160,000 hectares, through acquisitions at attractive prices. To achieve our objective, we have identified more than 33 properties, for a total of approximately 145,000 hectares of underutilized agricultural land that could complement our existing landholdings. After acquisition of new land, we develop the land and optimize its use, for example, by planting soybeans or rice on land previously only used for cattle grazing. We have an in-house group of agronomists and over 300 farmland employees to plan and execute our optimization process to increase productivity and returns on our acquired land.

•

Continue to increase efficiency and achieve profitability of our farmland operations. We intend to operate our properties with high standards of efficiency, which we believe will make us a profitable and low-cost producer and enhance our position in the agricultural sector in South America. In addition, we believe that our strong financial position, with total assets of $364.8 million and liabilities of only $12.9 million as of March 31, 2011, will allow us to continue to invest in state-of-the-art machinery and equipment to maximize yields.

•

Produce premium products with sustainable methods. To ensure that our products meet a high standard that distinguishes us in the international market, we intend to continue using sustainable farming practices that comply with applicable environmental regulations, ensure crop rotation throughout the year, maximize efficient water use and minimize soil degradation. We are guided by the belief that premium agricultural products can only be grown through sustainable farming practices.

•

Generate additional returns by operating leased farmland located near our properties. In addition to managing the farmland we acquired, we plan to augment our existing operations by opportunistically leasing farmland located in close proximity to our existing operations. We believe that selectively adding leased lands to our operations will allow us to achieve higher returns by leveraging our existing investments in our employees, equipment and infrastructure for use on leased farmland, with minimum additional investment.

Global Agricultural Sector

We believe that the global agricultural sector can be expected to continue growing over the coming years, based on attractive supply and demand dynamics, including:

•

rising demand due to economic growth, expanding populations, urbanization and changing diets;

•

increasing protein consumption driving an exponential increase in grain demand;

•

the emergence of grain-based biofuels as a substitute for non-renewable fuels, driving demand for grains for non-food uses; and

•

the expected continued increase in commodity prices over the medium term as a result of global arable land growth lagging increase in demand.

According to the United Nations, the world population is expected to increase from 6.9 billion in 2010 to approximately 8.3 billion in 2030. Accordingly, we believe that agriculture will assume an even greater role in supplying products to satisfy the demand of a growing population.

Uruguay’s Competitive Advantages

Latin America, as a net exporter of agricultural products, is expected to benefit from the growth in agricultural demand and we believe that Uruguay is particularly well-positioned to capitalize on this growth. Specifically, we believe that Uruguay’s competitive advantages and low cost of production provide us with favorable dynamics to grow our agriculture, livestock and dairy businesses.

Soil

Agricultural activities in Uruguay enjoy the advantage of high quality soil. A 2007 FAO study ranks Uruguay first for soil quality out of 160 countries in the study. Ranking is based on a weighted overall score of seven different factors: (i) equivalent arable land, (ii) deserts and drylands, (iii) steeplands, (iv) land degradation severity, (v) actual arable land, (vi) land balance and (vii) population increase.

Uruguay’s soil resources are well preserved and according to the FAO, 87% of Uruguay’s land area has light or no human-induced degradation, compared with 37% for Argentina, 48% for Brazil and 40% for the U.S. According to the FAO, 70% of Uruguay’s total area is arable, compared with 26% for Argentina, 46% for Brazil and 28% for the U.S. However, only 9% of Uruguay’s arable land was used in 2008 according to the World Soil Resources Report. Consequently, there is substantial potential in Uruguay for increased usage of land and agriculture production.

Approximately 10 years ago, agricultural activity in Uruguay expanded to land that was previously considered not usable for agriculture. The expansion of agricultural activity on new land is still taking place in Uruguay and is related to the introduction of new farming technology, such as no-till farming, which does not disturb the soil through tillage. No-till farming practices allow Uruguay to increase its grain production by farming in new areas while maintaining high yields and preserving the soil.

Water

Uruguay has favorable water usage statistics and uses on average only 2.3% of its renewable water resources annually, according to the CIA World Factbook. The CIA World Factbook places Uruguay’s total annual water withdrawal at 3.15 cubic kilometers, or km³, per year, versus annual renewable water resources of 139 km³.

The southern part of Uruguay lies on top of the Raigón aquifer, which is an important source of water for irrigation. As well, the dense network of rivers and creeks in Uruguay provides water for cattle and irrigation. With the proper permits, farmers in Uruguay can build dams on their land to store water for irrigation, or can pump water from rivers and lakes. The permit system ensures that a farmer will have access to water for farming.

Uruguay also sits atop the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest reservoirs of groundwater in the world, which covers 1,190,000 square kilometers, or km², (45,000 km² in Uruguay), with a total volume of about 37,000 km³ and a natural recharge of 166 km³ per year, which may be accessed in the future as an alternative source of water.

Double Crop Growing Season

The ability to harvest multiple crops dramatically increases the yield of farmland given that fixed and capital costs typically remain the same regardless of the number of harvests. The suitability of a particular tract of farmland for double-cropping typically depends on favorable average temperature and precipitation conditions. Uruguay is well suited for a double-crop environment due to favorable average temperatures of between 52°F and 74°F (11°C to 23°C). In comparison, double-cropping would be difficult to achieve in the U.S. Midwest due to greatly varying temperatures of between 23°F and 76°F (-5°C to 23°C). Uruguay’s rainfall is both abundant, at approximately 49.7 inches (1,263 millimeters) per year, and roughly evenly distributed across the entire year. Combined, these two factors allow Uruguayan farmers to harvest two annual crops, whereas farmers can only have one harvest in most parts of North America and Europe.

Trade

Uruguay participates in several regional and international arrangements designed to promote cooperation in trade and investment. Uruguay has a flow of exports to a diversified list of countries, including China, the European Union, the U.S. and Canada, with no single country accounting for a majority of Uruguay’s exports. According to Uruguay XXI, from 2009 to 2010, exports from Uruguay increased 23% and in 2009, agro-industrial exports accounted for 77% of the Uruguay’s total exports.

As an agricultural export-driven economy, Uruguay actively promotes tax-free exports. Exporters in Uruguay also enjoy several other key benefits, including their ability to keep foreign currency proceeds from export sales. Goods and certain services exported from Uruguay are eligible for certain tax rebates.

Infrastructure and Location

Uruguay offers competitive advantages to investors, including a strategic geographical location, a network for the transportation of passengers and goods by sea, air and land, and a developed support infrastructure. The Global Competitiveness Report 2008-2009 (World Economic Forum) ranked Uruguay second in South America in terms of infrastructure development.

The road network in Uruguay is the most concentrated in Latin America, with 45 kilometers, or km, of paved roads per 1,000 km² according to Uruguay XXI. Cargo is transported through Uruguay from the rest of the continent and the flow of international cargo is not restricted at Uruguayan border points according to Uruguay XXI.

According to Uruguay XXI, there are two important ports in Uruguay. The port of Montevideo is on the South American Atlantic coast. The port of Nueva Palmira is on the shore of the Uruguay River, and heads the most important inland waterway transport system in South America. In Uruguay, rice is primarily exported through the port of Montevideo and wheat and soybeans are primarily exported through the port of Nueva Palmira. According to Uruguay XXI, these two ports provide an important logistical advantage to the export of goods from Uruguay as a result of their proximity to most production areas in the country.

Uruguay also has a developed telecommunications network, with 100% digital telecommunications and 98 cellular phone lines per 100 inhabitants as reported by Uruguay XXI.

Foreign Direct Investment

Uruguay has a legislative framework that ensures equal treatment of foreign and local investors and foreign access to all economic sectors. The legislative framework promotes and protects investments made by national and foreign investors as to be in the nation’s interest. As a result, Uruguay allows 100% foreign land ownership with no restrictions.

Uruguay is one of the most socially and politically stable countries in South America.

Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the information contained in this prospectus, particularly the risks described below, as well as in our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in this prospectus. Our business activities, cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. In addition, the market price of our common shares may decrease due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are all known material risks that we currently believe may materially affect us.

Unpredictable weather conditions, pest infestations and diseases may have an adverse impact on agricultural, livestock, dairy and apiculture production.

The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail, floods or frost, is unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact on agricultural, livestock, dairy and apiculture production, and may otherwise adversely affect the supply and price of the agricultural commodities that we sell and use in our business. Adverse weather conditions may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change. The effects of severe adverse weather conditions may reduce yields of our products or require us to increase our level of investment to maintain yields. Additionally, higher than average temperatures and rainfall can contribute to an increased presence of insects, which could negatively affect crop, rice and livestock yields. In 2008 and 2009, Uruguay suffered one of its worst droughts of the last 70 years. Future droughts could reduce the yield and quality of our agricultural, livestock and dairy production, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations of our business.

Global climate changes have caused Uruguay’s climate to begin to shift from sub-tropical to tropical. As a result, average honey production per hive in Uruguay has stopped increasing in recent years. In addition, in the past few years, prolonged droughts followed by flooding, an increase in farmland planted in transgenic soybeans, and the growing use of pesticides and herbicides have posed a threat to beehives in Uruguay. Continuation of these factors could adversely affect our apiculture operations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The occurrence and effects of disease and plagues can be unpredictable and devastating to agricultural, livestock, dairy and apiculture products, potentially rendering all or a substantial portion of the affected harvests unsuitable for sale. Our crops, rice and blueberries are also susceptible to fungus and bacteria that are associated with excessively moist conditions. Even when only a portion of the production is damaged, our results of operations could be adversely affected because all or a substantial portion of the production costs may have been incurred. Although some diseases are treatable, the cost of treatment is high, and such events could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, if we fail to control a given plague or disease and our production is threatened, we may be unable to supply our customers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Diseases among our cattle and sheep herds, such as brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease, can have an adverse effect on dairy production and fattening, rendering cows and sheep unable to produce dairy or meat for human consumption. Outbreaks of cattle and sheep diseases may also result in the closure of certain important markets, such as the United States, to our cattle and sheep products. In May 2001, an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease spread throughout Uruguay, affecting almost one million heads of cattle. The outbreak brought rural areas and the meat industry to a standstill and curtailed Uruguayan beef exports to North America. A future outbreak of diseases among our cattle and sheep herds could adversely affect our cattle, sheep and dairy sales, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuation in market prices for our products could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Prices for agricultural products, like those of other commodities, have historically been cyclical and sensitive to domestic and international changes in supply and demand and can be expected to fluctuate significantly. In addition, some of the agricultural products we produce, such as soybeans and wheat, are traded on commodities and futures exchanges and thus are subject to speculative trading, which could adversely affect us. The prices that we are able to obtain for our agricultural products depend on many factors beyond our control including:

We seek to optimize the use of our properties and make decisions regarding increasing or decreasing production of one agricultural product or another based, in part, on our expectations regarding market conditions and land use optimization. Such decisions could prove incorrect, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Further, there is a strong relationship between the value of our land holdings and market prices of the commodities we produce, which are affected by global economic conditions. A decline in the prices of rice, soybeans, wheat, cattle, sheep or blueberries below their current levels for a sustained period of time could significantly reduce the value of our land holdings and materially and adversely affect our financial condition.

Prices for agricultural land in Uruguay have rapidly escalated over the past decade and we have purchased our land at prices far in excess of historical averages. Any significant deterioration in the Uruguayan agricultural real estate market may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The real estate market in Uruguay is strong and over the past decade prices for agricultural land in Uruguay have increased dramatically. For example, according to the DIEA, the average price per hectare of agricultural land in Uruguay increased approximately 260% from 2005 to 2010 and approximately 540% from 2001 to 2010. Substantially all of our assets are Uruguayan farmlands that we have acquired since 2008 at prices far in excess of historical averages. While the price increases of the past decade may be driven in part by a strengthening Uruguayan economy combined with increased global demand for agricultural products, the rapid escalation of prices may exceed the economic factors underlying such growth. To the extent that such price increases exceed intrinsic value, the Uruguayan agricultural real estate market may be experiencing a bubble similar to that recently experienced in the residential real estate market in the United States and other parts of the world. In their late stages, real estate bubbles are typically characterized by rapid increases in the valuations of real property until unsustainable levels are reached relative to other economic indicators. This is typically followed by rapid decreases in prices set off by deterioration in the economic factors underlying growth. If the Uruguayan market for agricultural land is experiencing a bubble, any deterioration in the underlying economic factors, such as a

decline in global demand for agricultural products, could burst such bubble, causing a rapid decline in the value of our land. Under IFRS, recoverable amount is defined as the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Accordingly, if the carrying value of our land, and our land under promesas, could not be supported by either the resale value of the land or the cash flows from its value in use as an agricultural property, this may cause us to recognize significant impairment losses, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have a limited operating history with a history of losses and we may not achieve or maintain profitability or generate sufficient cash flow.

We have a limited operating history and we have recorded negative cash flows and incurred operating losses in every fiscal year since our formation. From our formation to March 31, 2011, we have incurred cumulative losses of $4.6 million and we recorded negative operating cash flows of $12.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, $13.7 million in fiscal year 2010, $2.2 million in fiscal year 2009 and $0.3 million in fiscal year 2008, resulting primarily from the establishment of our business. The continued development of our business and the acquisition of additional farmland will require us to make significant capital expenditures. These expenditures, together with associated operating expenses, may result in continued negative cash flow and net losses in the foreseeable future. In addition, with our relatively limited operating history, the risk profile of our business may be higher than for those companies with more established records of operation. We may continue to record losses and negative cash flows in future periods, our losses may increase in the future, and in the event that we do have profits, we may be unable to sustain our operating cash flow.

Our limited operating history may not serve as an adequate basis on which to evaluate our current business and future prospects and results of operations.

We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the viability and sustainability of our current business and future prospects. Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by other early stage agricultural companies. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth could be adversely affected.

We may depend on new capital to fund the development of our business. Our inability to obtain new capital could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have financed our business with new equity because our cash flow from operations was insufficient to provide the necessary capital to fund our operations and expansion. We may need additional capital to fund our operations and acquisitions of farmland. If we are unable to raise equity or debt financing on favorable terms, we may not be able to fund our capital expenditures and we will be required to change our current business plan, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The expansion of our business through land acquisitions poses risks that may reduce the benefits we anticipate from these transactions.

We have grown primarily through land acquisitions and plan to continue growing by acquiring other farmland throughout Uruguay. However, our management is unable to predict whether or when any prospective land acquisitions will occur, or the likelihood of certain transactions being completed on favorable terms and conditions. Our ability to continue to expand our business successfully through land acquisitions depends on many factors, including our ability to identify land for acquisition or to access capital markets at a favorable cost and negotiate favorable transaction terms. Even if we are able to identify acquisition targets and obtain the necessary financing to carry out these acquisitions, we could financially overextend ourselves, especially if a land acquisition is followed by a period of lower than projected prices for our products.

Acquiring land also exposes us to risks associated with activities on such land by prior owners. The due diligence we typically conduct in connection with an acquisition, and any contractual guarantees or indemnities that we may receive from the sellers of that land, may not be sufficient to protect us from, or compensate us for, actual liabilities. Any material liability associated with an acquisition could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations and reduce the benefits of the acquisition.

If we do not obtain governmental authorizations with respect to all of our lands, we could lose the rights to the use of such lands.

We execute purchase promise agreements, or promesas de compraventa, instead of definitive purchases, or compraventas definitivas, to acquire our rural land in Uruguay. In order for our subsidiaries to obtain legal title to and use the rural land acquired under a promesa, Uruguayan law requires that each such subsidiary obtain prior governmental authorization. We have received governmental authorization to obtain legal title to and use certain of our lands in the past, and we expect to obtain such authorizations in the future. If, however, the Uruguayan government denies our requests for authorization under the exemptions available to us, or it is determined that the required authorization has not been adequately obtained, we could lose our rights to the use of such land, and any of our subsidiaries that has not obtained such authorization would be required to dissolve and liquidate its assets to our parent company. Any such liquidation could be on unfavorable terms, and could deprive us of the benefits of the rights to the use of such lands under promesas. Any liquidation of a substantial portion of our assets, or any loss of our rights to the use of such lands, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Business–Farmland Overview,” “Regulatory and Environmental Overview–Sale and Ownership of Real Estate” and “Regulatory and Environmental Overview–Rural Real Estate” for more details.

We have not conducted surveys of all our farmland and, consequently, the precise area and location of our titles may be in doubt. Title to our farmlands may be subject to clerical errors in the official certificates or plans or other undetected title defects. Any such clerical errors or defects in the chain of ownership could subject us to third party title claims as the last acquiror of the farmland. A claim contesting our title to a farmland may cause us to lose our right to farm the land and we may incur significant costs related to the defense of our title, which would adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Our leases with respect to some of our farmlands may not be renewed on terms and conditions favorable to us.

We currently lease farmland as a lessee and intend to increase the amount of farmland that we lease in the future. We began leasing farmland in September 2009, and our current leases are for short term periods of one to three years, and we expect future leases to be of a similar duration. We may be unable to secure new leases to expand our operations on terms that are favorable to us, which would limit our ability to optimize our operations as currently planned. We also may not be able to renew leases after their respective terms conclude. Even if we are able to renew these leases, such renewals may not be on terms and conditions that are favorable to us. Any failure to renew the leases or lease other lands that are suitable for our business needs in sufficient quantity and at reasonable prices to develop our activities could adversely affect our results of operations, increase our costs or force us to seek alternative properties, which may not be available or be available only at higher prices.

We face competition in the markets in which we operate and for the acquisition of farmland.

We operate in a market where there are other competitors. Competition within the agricultural, livestock, dairy and apiculture industry is based primarily on quality and price. If we are unable to compete effectively in these areas, we may lose existing customers or fail to acquire new customers, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We rely on advanced technological and scientific methodologies to improve our operations. If we fail to adopt new technology or to continually upgrade our facilities and processes to reflect technological advances, such failure could negatively impact our competitive position, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also experience competition for farmland purchases. Certain of our competitors have greater financial and capital resources than us. We could face increased competition from newly formed or emerging entities, as well as from established entities that choose to focus (or increase their existing focus) on farmland in Uruguay. As a result, farmland properties may not be available to us on commercially favorable terms or at all.

A significant increase in the price of raw materials that we use in our operations, or the shortage of such raw materials, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our production process requires various raw materials, including fertilizer, feed, herbicide, agrochemicals and seeds, which we acquire from local and international suppliers. We do not have long-term supply contracts for most of these raw materials. For our fiscal year 2010 and the nine months ended March 31, 2011, consumable supplies, including but not limited to fertilizers, agrochemicals, herbicides, feed and seeds, represented 29.0% and 39.2% of our cost of production, respectively. Worldwide production of agricultural products has increased significantly in recent years, increasing the demand for agrochemicals and fertilizers. This has resulted, among other things, in increased prices for fertilizers and agrochemicals. Our agricultural business is seasonal, and our revenues may fluctuate significantly depending on the growing cycle of our crops. A significant increase in the cost of these raw materials, especially fertilizer, feed and agrochemicals, a shortage of raw materials or the unavailability of these raw materials entirely could reduce our profit margin, reduce our production and/or interrupt the production of some of our products, in all cases adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our agricultural business is seasonal, and our revenues may fluctuate significantly depending on the growing cycle of our crops.

Our agricultural business is seasonal, based upon the planting, growing and harvesting cycles. The inherent seasonality of the industry could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, quarterly results can vary significantly from one year to the next due primarily to weather-related shifts in planting schedules, production yields, purchase patterns and costs. We incur substantial expenditures for fixed costs throughout the year and substantial expenditures for inventory in advance of the planting season.

Seasonality also relates to the limited windows of opportunity that we have to complete required tasks at each stage of crop cultivation. Should events such as adverse weather or transportation interruptions occur during these seasonal windows, we would face reduced revenue without the opportunity to recover until the following season. In addition, because of the seasonality of agriculture, we face the risk of significant inventory carrying costs should our customers’ activities be curtailed during their normal seasons.

Increased energy prices and frequent interruptions of energy supply could adversely affect our business.

We require substantial amounts of diesel and other resources for our harvest activities and transport of our agricultural products. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and the nine months ended March 31, 2011, fuel and lubricants represented 8.5% and 8.9% of our cost of production, respectively. We rely upon third parties for our supply of energy resources used in our operations. The prices for and availability of energy resources may be subject to change or curtailment, respectively, due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, imposition of restrictions on energy supply by government, worldwide price levels and market conditions. If energy supply is cut for an extended period of time and we are unable to find replacement sources at comparable prices, or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

We depend on international trade and economic and other conditions in key export markets for our products.

Our operating results depend largely on economic conditions and regulatory policies for our products in major export markets. The ability of our products to compete effectively in these export markets could be adversely affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including the deterioration of

macroeconomic conditions, volatility of exchange rates, the imposition of greater tariffs or other trade barriers or other factors in those markets, such as regulations relating to chemical content of products and safety requirements. Due to the growing participation in the worldwide agricultural commodities markets by commodities produced in South America, South American growers, including us, are increasingly affected by the measures taken by importing countries in order to protect their local producers. Measures such as the limitation on imports adopted in a particular country or region may affect the sector’s export volume significantly and, consequently, our operating results.

The EU has a zero tolerance policy with respect to the import of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. See “—Some of the agricultural commodities and food products that we produce contain genetically modified organisms, which could affect the marketability of our products or our ability to sell to certain markets.” While the recent drought in Europe has led to the relaxation of these restrictions for certain of our products, we may be unable to continue exporting our products with GMOs to the EU. If the sale of our products into a particular importing country is adversely affected by trade barriers or by any of the factors mentioned above, the relocation of our products to other consumers on terms equally favorable may not be possible, and our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We may be exposed to material losses due to volatile prices of agricultural products since we are not hedging our agricultural products price risk. We also may not be able to realize gains related to price appreciation for hedged positions.

We generally do not hold any hedge positions, although we have entered into certain hedge positions to cover against the risk of variations in the price of wheat and soybean during the first two quarters of fiscal year 2011. Because we do not generally hedge the price risk on our agricultural products, we are unable to have minimum price guarantees for all of our production and are, therefore, exposed to significant risks associated with the prices of agricultural products and their volatility. Fluctuations in prices of agricultural products could result in our receiving lower prices for our agricultural products than our production costs. Further, as a commodities producer, we naturally have a long position in agricultural products, which increases our risk of loss if prices of agricultural products decrease. If we enter into hedges in the future and if the prices of agricultural products in respect of such hedges increase beyond the prices specified in our various hedging agreements, we would lose some or all of the value of any such increase in prices. We may also be subject to exchange rate risks with respect to hedges we may enter into for wheat because our futures and options positions are valued in U.S. dollars while a portion of our production costs are in Uruguayan Pesos. In addition, if severe weather conditions or any other disaster causes lower production than that which we have already sold in the market, we may suffer material losses in the repurchase of sold contracts.

Substantially all of our assets are farmland. If we decided to sell such farmland, the prices we may realize could be adversely affected by the real estate market at the time of sale, which could be illiquid.

Our business is focused on acquiring and operating farmland for long-term use and thus our assets are intended to be relatively illiquid. We do not acquire farmland for resale or for speculative purposes. If we were required to liquidate farmland investments during periods when the market is illiquid and prices are declining, the proceeds we might receive from such sales could be significantly less than the aggregate carrying value of such property, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. In addition, if the market becomes illiquid, it may limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions.

Some of the agricultural commodities and food products that we produce contain genetically modified organisms, which could affect the marketability of our products or our ability to sell to certain markets.

Our soybean products contain genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, in varying proportions depending on the year and location of production. The use of GMOs in food has been met with varying degrees of acceptance in the markets in which we operate. The United States and Uruguay, for example, have approved the

use of GMOs in food products, and GMO and non-GMO grain in those countries is produced and frequently commingled during the grain origination process. Elsewhere, adverse publicity about genetically modified food has led to governmental regulation limiting sales of GMO products in some of the markets in which our customers sell our products, including the EU. It is possible that new restrictions on GMO products will be imposed in major markets for some of our products or that our customers will decide to purchase fewer GMO products or not buy GMO products at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, our cattle and sheep may be fed with grains or grain by-products containing GMOs, such as soybeans or corn. Consequently, such products could be considered to contain GMOs by our customers or by governmental or regulatory authorities in our export markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

If our products become contaminated, we may be subject to product liability claims, product recalls and restrictions on exports that would adversely affect our business.

The sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk of injury to consumers. These injuries may result from tampering by third parties, bioterrorism, product contamination or spoilage, including the presence of bacteria, pathogens, foreign objects, substances, chemicals, other agents, or residues introduced during the growing, storage, handling or transportation phases.

Consumption of our products could cause a health-related illness in the future and we could become subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused illness or injury could adversely affect our reputation with existing and potential customers and our corporate and brand image, and we could also incur significant legal expenses. Moreover, claims or liabilities of this nature might not be covered by any rights of indemnity or contribution that we may have against others, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are dependent on our management team, and our success may depend on our ability to retain or attract adequate managerial resources.

Our success depends, to a large extent, on the ability and judgment of our senior management to make appropriate decisions with respect to our operations. We will continue to retain the qualified personnel needed for our business. In the event that one or more current members of management cease to be employed by us and we cannot attract adequate replacements, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may be subject to labor disputes from time to time that could adversely affect us.

Our operations are dependent on farm laborers. If we became subject to a labor dispute, or if our farm laborers unionize, we may not successfully conclude negotiations on favorable terms, which could result in a significant increase in the cost of labor or could result in work stoppages or labor disturbances that disrupt our operations. Cost increases, work stoppages or disturbances that result in substantial amounts of raw product not being processed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations and any future changes could adversely affect us.

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations. We could be adversely affected by changes in regulatory requirements, customs, duties or other taxes. For example, the President of Uruguay recently stated that he wished to tax land holdings of more than 2,000 hectares with unknown rates from 2,000 to 10,000 hectares and

more than 10,000 hectares at a rate of $16 per hectare. Although legislation regarding such a tax has not been introduced, it could come into effect in the future. If such a tax were to come into effect and we reached our objective of holding 160,000 hectares of land in Uruguay, such a tax would increase our total taxes by approximately $2.5 million per year, which would reduce our profitability or increase our loss by such amount. In addition, existing and future government laws, regulations and policies (including environmental laws, regulations and policies) may greatly influence how we operate our business, our business strategy and, ultimately, our financial viability. Further, Uruguayan governmental policies may directly or indirectly influence a number of factors affecting our business, such as the number of acres planted, the mix of crops planted, crop prices, inventory levels and the rules regarding ownership of land. Future regulatory changes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to environmental regulation, and concerns regarding climate change may subject us to even stricter environmental regulations.

Our activities are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Under various Uruguayan laws, we could become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on, from or in one or more of our properties or disposed of at other locations. The failure to remove or remediate such substances, if any, may adversely affect our ability to sell such property or to borrow using the property as collateral, and could potentially also result in claims against us by private parties. In addition, global environmental legislation and policies have become increasingly stringent in recent years as a result of concerns regarding climate change and environmental regulation in the areas in which we operate may also become more stringent, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our current insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our potential losses.

Our production is, in general, subject to different risks and hazards, including adverse weather conditions, fires, diseases and pest infestations, other natural phenomena, industrial accidents, labor disputes, changes in the legal and regulatory framework applicable to us and environmental contingencies. Our insurance currently covers only part of the losses we may incur and does not cover losses on crops, wheat and blueberries due to drought or floods or similar risks, losses on blueberries due to hailstorms or any losses to our cattle, sheep and bees. Furthermore, certain types of risks may not be covered by the policies that we hold. Additionally, any claims to be paid by an insurer due to the occurrence of a casualty covered by our policies may not be sufficient to compensate us for all of the damages suffered. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount desired at reasonable costs. If we were to incur significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a few key customers and the loss or non-performance of such customers could adversely affect us.

We derive a significant portion of revenue from the sale of our agricultural products to a small number of customers. For example, for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we sold our entire rice production to S.A. Molinos Arroceros Nacionales, or SAMAN, the leading rice exporter in Uruguay, our entire wool production to the cooperative Central Lanera Uruguaya, or CLU, and our entire dairy production to Cooperativa Nacional de Productores de Leche, or CONAPROLE. Furthermore, 85.0% of our cattle sales were concentrated in two customers and 88.7% of our crops sales were concentrated in two customers. Although, our agricultural products are commodities for which there is a global market, the loss of any one of our significant customers would be disruptive to our operations and would require that management devote significant time to finding a suitable replacement customer, if at all possible. To the extent we are unable to find suitable replacement customers, our revenues would be adversely affected, which could, in turn, negatively affect our ability to achieve or sustain our expected levels of operating results. We are also exposed to risks of loss in the event of non-performance by such key customers. Some of our customers may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and

regulatory risks. Notwithstanding our credit review and analysis mechanisms, we may experience financial loss in our dealings with other parties. Any non-payment or non-performance by our customers could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Accordingly, unless and until we diversify and expand our customer base, our future success will largely depend upon the timing and size of any future purchases by, and creditworthiness of, a few key customers.

We operate our business in an emerging market. Our results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon economic conditions in Uruguay, and any decline in Uruguay’s economic conditions could harm our results of operations or financial condition.

Emerging market investment generally poses a greater degree of risk than investment in more mature market economies because the economies in the developing world are more susceptible to destabilization resulting from domestic and international developments.

All of our operations and development activities are in Uruguay. Uruguay has a history of economic instability or crises (such as inflation or recession), political instability, and changes in laws and regulations which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In particular, fluctuations in the Uruguayan economy and actions adopted by the government of Uruguay have had and may continue to have a significant impact on companies operating in Uruguay, including us. Specifically, we may be affected by inflation, foreign currency fluctuations, regulatory policies, business and tax regulations and in general by the political, social and economic scenarios in Uruguay and in other countries that may affect Uruguay.

At the end of 2001 and into 2002, a banking crisis erupted in Uruguay as a result of the financial crisis in neighboring Argentina and the capital controls and deposit freezes imposed in response by the Argentine government. As a result of high levels of exposure to Argentina, banks in Uruguay began facing liquidity problems, causing large waves of deposit withdrawals from the Uruguayan banking sector, severely impacting solvency of banks, lending, liquidity and economic growth. Future banking crises, including those triggered by neighboring countries, could occur in Uruguay, which could adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our operations, or the market price of our common shares.

Global economic crises could negatively affect investor confidence in emerging markets or the economies of the principal countries in Latin America, including Uruguay. Such events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Uruguay’s economy could be adversely affected by the deterioration of other global markets.

Financial and securities markets in Uruguay are influenced by the economic and market conditions in other countries, including other South American and emerging market countries and other global markets. Although economic conditions in these countries may differ significantly from economic conditions in Uruguay, investors’ reactions to developments in these other countries, such as the recent developments in the global financial markets, may substantially affect the capital flows into, and the market value of securities of issuers with operations in Uruguay.

A crisis in other emerging market countries could dampen investor enthusiasm for securities of issuers with South American operations, including our common shares. For example, in 2002, Uruguay went through its steepest economic and financial crisis in recent history, resulting mostly from external factors. Devaluation in neighboring Brazil in 1999 made Uruguayan goods less competitive. Starting in late 2001, an economic crisis in Argentina also undermined Uruguay’s economy. In mid-2002, Argentine withdrawals from Uruguayan banks

started a bank run which was overcome only by massive borrowing from international financial institutions, leading in turn to serious debt sustainability problems. Financial conditions in Argentina, Brazil or other emerging market countries could negatively impact Uruguay’s economy in the future.

Uruguay’s economy remains highly linked to the U.S. dollar and therefore vulnerable to external shocks. In 2008, the global financial crisis had an adverse impact on global economic conditions. Even though by the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 the world economies showed certain signs of recovery, it is yet uncertain how the current financial crisis will impact Uruguay, which could include a reduction in exports, a decline in tax revenues and a reduced ability to access international capital markets.

A significant deterioration in the economic growth of any of the main trading partners of Uruguay could have a material impact on the trade balance of the country and could adversely affect its economic growth. This could adversely affect the market price for our common shares, as well as make it difficult for us to access capital markets and obtain financing for our operations in the future, on favorable terms or under any conditions.

The Uruguayan government has a high degree of influence in the Uruguayan economy, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

In the past, the Uruguayan government has intervened in its economy and made significant changes in monetary, credit, industry and other policies and regulations. The government may again take actions in the future to control inflation and implement other policies and regulations, including measures, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. We have no control over, and cannot predict, what measures or policies the government may take in the future. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in governmental policy or regulations that impact factors such as:

Uncertainty over whether the government will implement changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the securities markets, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Currency exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate exclusively outside the United States. Our financial statements are prepared and presented in U.S. dollars. A portion of our expenses were transacted in Uruguayan Pesos. Consequently, our results from

operations may be impacted by significant fluctuations in exchange rates. Our current exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations results from the transaction exposure associated with incurring a portion of our expenses in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Uruguayan Peso and other currencies have fluctuated against the U.S. dollar in the past. Accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar could impair the comparability of our results from period to period and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On June 19, 2002, the BCU allowed the Peso to float, abandoning the “crawling peg” system. The Peso depreciated significantly, as the nominal exchange rate rose 94.0% at December 2002 compared to December 2001. The devaluation of the Peso in turn caused a deterioration in the quality of the foreign currency-denominated loan portfolio of several financial institutions and caused Uruguay’s foreign currency-denominated debt to GDP ratio to rise to 89.1% as of December 31, 2002, while the foreign currency-denominated debt service to exports ratio for 2002 was 33.6%. The gradual stabilization resulting in part from the successful debt re-profiling in 2003 and the economic growth since 2004 resulted in a significant real appreciation of the Uruguayan Peso versus the U.S. dollar through 2007. The global economic crisis again led to a devaluation of the Peso in 2008 as well as to increased foreign exchange volatility. Although the Peso rebounded during 2009, it has since depreciated against the U.S. dollar and returned to 2008 levels. The continued U.S. dollar denomination of many assets and liabilities of the Uruguayan economy, including most of the government’s financial debt, renders Uruguay vulnerable to any future real depreciation of the Peso.

Future fluctuations in the value of the Peso relative to the U.S. dollar in Uruguay may occur, and if such fluctuations were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Inflation in Uruguay, along with governmental measures to combat inflation, may have a significant negative effect on Uruguay’s economy and, as a result, on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the past, high levels of inflation have adversely affected Uruguay’s economy and financial markets, and the ability of its government to create conditions that stimulate or maintain economic growth. Moreover, governmental measures to curb inflation and speculation about possible future governmental measures have contributed to the negative economic impact of inflation and have created general economic uncertainty. Inflation in Uruguay has been as high as 112% in 1990 and has remained relatively high at 8.1% in 2008, 7.9% in 2009 and 7.1% in 2010. A portion of our operating costs are denominated in Uruguayan Pesos. Inflation in Uruguay, without a corresponding Peso devaluation could result in an increase in our operating costs without a commensurate increase in our revenues, which could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to pay our foreign denominated obligations.

Uruguay may continue to experience relatively high levels of inflation in the future, which may impact domestic demand for our products. Inflationary pressures may also weaken investor confidence in Uruguay, curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and lead to further government intervention in the economy, including interest rate increases, restrictions on tariff adjustments to offset inflation, intervention in foreign exchange markets and actions to adjust or fix currency values, which may trigger or exacerbate increases in inflation, and consequently have an adverse impact on us. In an inflationary environment, the value of uncollected accounts receivable, as well as of unpaid accounts payable, declines rapidly. If Uruguay experiences high levels of inflation in the future and price controls are imposed, we may not be able to adjust the rates we charge our customers to fully offset the impact of inflation on our cost structures, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Depreciations of the Peso relative to the U.S. dollar or the Euro may also create additional inflationary pressures in Uruguay that may negatively affect us. Depreciations generally curtail access to foreign financial markets and may prompt government intervention, including recessionary governmental policies. Depreciations also reduce the U.S. dollar or Euro value of dividends and other distributions on our common shares and the U.S. dollar or Euro equivalent of the market price of our common shares. Any of the foregoing might adversely affect our business, operating results, and cash flow, as well as the market price of our common shares.

Conversely, in the short term, a significant increase in the value of the Peso against the U.S. dollar would adversely affect the Uruguayan government’s income from exports. This could have a negative effect on gross domestic product, or GDP, growth and employment and could also reduce the public sector’s revenues in the country by reducing tax collection in real terms, as a portion of public sector revenues are derived from the collection of export taxes.

There is no existing market for our common shares, and we do not know whether one will develop to provide you with adequate liquidity. If the price of our common shares fluctuates after this offering, you could lose a significant part of your investment.

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our common shares. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling any of our common shares that you buy. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of an active trading market on the NYSE, or otherwise how liquid that market might become. The initial public offering price for the common shares sold in the offering will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following this offering. Consequently, you may not be able to sell your common shares at prices equal to or greater than the price paid by you in this offering. In addition to the risks described above, the market price of our common shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies affected. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of certain companies’ securities, securities class action litigation has been instituted against these companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could be expensive to defend, lead to costly settlements or judgments and distract management, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The initial public offering price per common share is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per common share immediately after the offering, and you will incur immediate and substantial dilution.

The initial public offering price per common share is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per common share immediately after the offering. As a result, you may pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the tangible book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. Investors who purchase common shares in the offering will be diluted by $3.46 per share after giving effect to the sale of common shares in this offering. See “Dilution.” If we grant options in the future to our employees, and those options are exercised, or if other issuances of common shares are made, there will be further dilution.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common shares to decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common shares to decline. This could also impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities. Under our articles of incorporation, we are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares, of which 51,167,399 shares will be outstanding following this offering, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Members of our board of directors, our executive officers and certain of our shareholders that in the aggregate hold 53.8% of our total shares outstanding will enter into lock-up agreements, pursuant to which they are expected to agree, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, any shares for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus. The remaining 46.2% of shares are not subject to lock-up during such 180-day period. Any significant sales of our common shares during or after the 180-day period could place downward pressure on our share price. In addition, we cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common shares or the effect, if any, that future sales and issuances of common shares would have on the market price of our common shares.

Transformation into a public company may increase our costs and disrupt the regular operations of our business.

This offering will have a significant transformative effect on us. We have operated as a privately owned company, and we expect to incur significant additional legal, accounting, reporting and other expenses as a result of having publicly traded common shares. We will also incur costs which we have not incurred previously, including, but not limited to, increased cost related to auditor fees, legal fees, directors and officers insurance, investor relations and various other costs of a public company.

We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules implemented by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and the NYSE. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some management and corporate governance activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. This could have an adverse impact on our ability to recruit qualified independent directors. We do not know the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of these requirements or the timing of such costs but they could be significant.

The additional demands associated with being a public company may disrupt regular operations of our business by diverting the attention of some of our senior management team away from revenue producing activities to management and administrative oversight, adversely affecting our ability to attract and complete business opportunities and increasing the difficulty in both retaining professionals and managing and growing our businesses. Any of these effects could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to, and we will, rely on exemptions from certain NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, including the requirement that a majority of an issuer’s directors consist of independent directors. This may afford less protection to holders of our common shares.

Section 303A of the NYSE Listing Rules requires listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of their board members be independent, and to have independent director oversight of executive compensation, nomination of directors and corporate governance matters. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we intend to, follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. BVI law, the law of our home country, does not require that a majority of our board consist of independent directors or the implementation of a nominating and corporate governance committee, and we expect our board will include fewer independent directors than would be required if we complied with all of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules. Since a majority of our board of directors may not consist of independent directors as long as we rely on

the foreign private issuer exemption to the NYSE’s rules, our board’s approach may, therefore, be different from that of a board with a majority of independent directors, and as a result, the board oversight of management may be more limited than if we complied with all of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of our common shares.

A foreign corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or a PFIC, for any taxable year if either: (i) 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its gross assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Based upon our current activities and the projected composition of our income and assets, we may be a PFIC for the current taxable year ending June 30, 2011. However, a determination of our PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until the close of such taxable year and will depend on, among other factors, our operating income, the market price of the common shares and by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash raised in this offering. Accordingly, we cannot provide a definitive determination with respect to our PFIC status for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we were to be a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. holder that holds common shares at any time during such taxable year would be subject to adverse tax consequences on certain distributions in respect of such common shares and gain realized on the sale or other disposition of such common shares, including taxation thereof as ordinary income and an interest charge on taxes treated as deferred. However, these adverse tax consequences can generally be mitigated if such U.S. holder makes a timely qualified electing fund election or a timely mark-to-market election. See “Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have an adverse affect on our results of operations and financial position, our reputation, and the trading price of our common shares.

Since our formation, we have faced accounting and financial reporting issues, including ongoing controls remediation and systems re-engineering and development. In the course of preparing our financial statements for the fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, we identified several deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting. For example, we have not maintained effective controls over our financial period-end closing and reporting process, to ensure that journal entries were prepared with sufficient support or documentation or reviewed and approved to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the entries recorded, over the accuracy and completeness of spreadsheets used in the period-end closing process and other spreadsheets supporting the company’s financial reporting, over the resolution of reconciling items on our bank account reconciliations or over the completeness, accuracy, and disclosure of our production, general and administrative expenses. In addition, we have not had adequate personnel resources to enable us to properly consider and apply IFRS for all of our transactions and we have not maintained a proper account and procedures manual.

These control deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Additionally, certain of these control deficiencies amounted to a material weakness, and as a result they could cause material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and the trading price of our common shares.

Upon completion of this offering, we will be required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or SOX, so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal controls, and, commencing with our annual report for fiscal year 2012, so that our independent registered public accounting firm can render an opinion on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. If we are unable to implement the requirements of Section 404 of SOX in a timely manner or adequately, our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to the effectiveness of our internal

controls over financial reporting and we may be required to incur costs in improving our internal controls, which could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and financial position, our reputation and the trading price of our common shares.

Our board of directors may issue, without shareholder approval, additional common shares and preferred shares that have rights and preferences in priority to the common shares, which issuance may delay or prevent a change of control.

Pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association, our board of directors may issue an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares, without any vote or action by our shareholders. If we were to issue any common shares or any additional preferred shares, the percentage ownership of existing shareholders may be reduced and diluted. In addition, our board of directors may, subject to BVI law, determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting, dividend and conversion rights, of each class of our preferred shares and determine to whom they shall be issued. The rights of the holders of any class of preferred shares that may be issued in the future may be senior to the rights of holders of our common shares, which could preclude holders of common shares from receiving dividends, proceeds of a liquidation or other benefits. The issuance of preferred shares could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control and may adversely affect the market price of the common shares and the voting and other rights of the holders of common shares.

Because we are incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, it may be more difficult for our shareholders to protect their rights than it would if they were shareholders of a corporation incorporated in another jurisdiction.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of BVI, and all of our assets are located outside the United States and Canada. Furthermore, all of our directors and officers reside outside the United States and Canada and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States and Canada. As a result, investors may not be able to effect service of process within the United States or Canada upon our directors or officers or to enforce against them in United States courts judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law or in Canadian courts judgments predicated on Canadian securities laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts or Canadian courts judgments obtained against these persons in courts located in jurisdictions outside the U.S. and Canada.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, as amended from time to time, or the BVI Business Companies Act, and the common law of BVI. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under BVI law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Business Companies Act and the common law of BVI. The common law of BVI is derived from English common law, and the decisions of the English courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in BVI. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under BVI law may not be as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. In particular, BVI has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and Canada, and some states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.

In addition, the law of BVI permits our board of directors to refuse to permit a shareholder to review, copy or inspect certain documents (including the list of shareholders or directors or minutes and resolutions of shareholders) if our board believes it would be contrary to our interests to allow review, copy or inspection. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. Furthermore, while statutory provisions do exist in BVI law for derivative actions to be brought in certain circumstances,

shareholders in BVI companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States or a Canadian court. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a BVI company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States or Canada. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. or Canadian company.

Because we are incorporated under the laws of BVI, it may be more difficult for our shareholders to enforce judgments against us than it would if they were shareholders of a corporation incorporated in another jurisdiction.

There is no statutory recognition in BVI of judgments obtained in the United States or Canada, although any final and conclusive monetary judgment for a definite sum obtained against our company in U.S. federal or state courts or in Canadian courts would be treated by the courts of BVI as a cause of action in itself and sued upon as a debt at common law so that no retrial of the issues would be necessary provided that:

There are grounds upon which a BVI court may not enforce the judgments of U.S. or Canadian courts and some remedies available under the laws of U.S. or Canadian jurisdictions, including some remedies available under U.S. federal or Canadian securities laws, may not be permitted under BVI courts as contrary to public policy in BVI. Furthermore, no claim may be brought in BVI by or against us or our directors and officers in the first instance for violation of U.S. federal or Canadian securities laws because these laws have no extraterritorial application under BVI law and do not have force of law in BVI, however, a BVI court may impose civil liability, including the possibility of monetary damages, on us or our directors and officers if the facts alleged in a complaint constitute or give rise to a cause of action under BVI law.

The rights of our shareholders are not as extensive as those rights of shareholders of U.S. or Canadian corporations.

The rights of our shareholders will be governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as interpreted in accordance with the laws of BVI. Where any provision of any contractual arrangement between a shareholder and us or any third party is inconsistent with the provisions of our memorandum and articles of

association, the shareholder may be unable to claim certain remedies, including specific performance, for breach of such provision against us. As well, principles of BVI corporate law relating to such matters as the validity of a company’s procedures, the fiduciary duties of management and the rights of a company’s shareholders may differ from those that would apply if we were incorporated in a jurisdiction within the U.S. or Canada. Under U.S. law, majority and controlling shareholders generally have certain “fiduciary” responsibilities to the minority shareholders. A U.S. shareholder action must be taken in good faith. Also, actions by controlling shareholders in a U.S. jurisdiction and executive compensation which are obviously unreasonable may be declared null and void. In addition, in the U.S. and Canada, directors generally owe a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders, including a duty of care, pursuant to which directors must properly apprise themselves of all reasonably available information, and a duty of loyalty, pursuant to which they must protect the interests of the corporation and refrain from conduct that injures the corporation or its shareholders, that deprives the corporation or its shareholders of any profit or advantage or that allows them to take advantage of a corporate opportunity for their own benefit. Many U.S. jurisdictions have enacted various statutory provisions which permit the monetary liability of directors to be eliminated or limited. Under BVI law, liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation is primarily limited to cases of willful malfeasance in the performance of his duties or to cases where the director has not acted honestly and in good faith and in the best interests of the corporation.

Further, BVI law does not protect the interests of minority shareholders to the extent that the law in the U.S. and Canada protects minority shareholders in U.S. and Canadian corporations, respectively. Our shareholders may have difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by our board of directors and may have more limited rights than they might have as shareholders of a company incorporated in many U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions.

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions and reliable information, these statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties and are made in light of information currently available to us. Our forward-looking statements may be influenced by the following factors, among others:

These forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties and are not assurances of future performance or results. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the forward-looking statements discussed in this prospectus may not occur and our future performance and results could differ substantially from those statements as a result of the factors mentioned above, among others. Given such limitations, you should not make any decision to invest in our common shares based on the forward-looking statements contained herein. We may not have correctly evaluated all of the factors affecting our business or the extent of their likely impact, the publicly available information with respect to these factors on which our analysis is based may not be complete or accurate, our analysis may be incorrect, or our strategy, which is based in part on this analysis, may not be successful. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless regarded by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward-looking statement after the distribution of this prospectus whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on certain assumptions. Although we believe that these assumptions are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. In addition to the assumptions identified elsewhere in this prospectus, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things:

We expect to receive net proceeds of $185.5 million from the sale of common shares by us in this offering, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and the portion of the estimated offering expenses payable by us, based on an assumed offering price of $14.00 per common share, without par value, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and assuming that the over-allotment option is not exercised. If the underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option, we expect to receive $214.0 million of net proceeds. An increase (decrease) of $1.00 in the assumed price per share of $14.00 would increase (decrease) the net proceeds we receive in connection with this offering by $13.6 million (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised).

We intend to use the proceeds of this offering (1) to repay borrowings, if any, outstanding under our subsidiary’s $10.0 million line of credit with Banco Itaú Uruguay S.A., or the line of credit, (2) to acquire additional farmland, consistent with our business strategy, and (3) the remainder, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes. There are no particular acquisitions for which we currently intend to use such proceeds and we have not allocated the proceeds in any particular manner toward the three purposes listed above. However, we expect to use the proceeds primarily to acquire additional land in furtherance of our objective of increasing our landholdings in Uruguay to 160,000 hectares.

The line of credit bears a fixed interest rate of 4.50% per annum and matures on October 31, 2011. Under the terms of the line of credit, UAG S.A. has agreed not to pledge or sell any of its assets. Under the terms of the line of credit, UAG S.A. has also agreed that it and our other subsidiaries will not incur indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $15.0 million, in each case without the lender’s consent. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit. See “Business—Material Agreements—Line of Credit.”

You should read the information in this table in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

(1) Does not include our line of credit, which as of the date of this prospectus is undrawn. See “Business—Material Agreements—Line of Credit.”

(2) Actual—unlimited common shares authorized, 36,648,406 common shares issued and outstanding and unlimited preferred shares authorized, no preferred shares issued and outstanding; as adjusted—unlimited common shares authorized, 50,934,121 common shares issued and outstanding and unlimited preferred shares authorized, no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

(3) Total capitalization includes total borrowings plus total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decision to pay dividends after this offering will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors determines relevant.

We have a net tangible book value of $9.59 per common share. Our net tangible book value represents the amount of our total assets, excluding our intangible assets, less our total liabilities and non-controlling interests, calculated as at March 31, 2011, divided by 36,648,406, the total number of our common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2011.

After giving effect to the sale of 14,285,715 common shares in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, assuming that the underwriters have not exercised their over-allotment option, and after deduction of the estimated discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value estimated as of the date of this prospectus would have been approximately $536.9 million, or $10.54 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.95 per common share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $3.46 per common share to purchasers of common shares in this offering. Dilution for this purpose represents the difference between the price per common share paid by these purchasers and net tangible book value per common share immediately after the completion of this offering.

The following table illustrates this dilution to new investors purchasing common shares, on a per share basis:

The following table summarizes as of March 31, 2011, the differences between the number of common shares purchased from us, the total cash consideration paid and the average price per share paid by our existing shareholders and new investors purchasing common shares in this offering at the assumed initial offering price of $14.00 per share, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming that the underwriters have not exercised their over-allotment option:

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, our existing shareholders would own 69.0% and our new investors would own 31.0% of the total number of our common shares outstanding upon completion of this offering; and the total consideration paid by our existing shareholders would be $375.7 million, or 62.0%, and the total consideration paid by our new investors would be $230.0 million, or 38.0%.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the offering price per common share would increase (decrease) the total consideration paid by new investors, total consideration paid by all shareholders and average price per common share paid by all shareholders by $14.3 million, $14.3 million and $0.28, respectively, assuming that the underwriters have not exercised their over-allotment option.

Information in this section does not reflect $5.0 million of common shares and $1.0 million of restricted shares that we have agreed to issue to certain of our executive officers as soon as practicable following completion of this offering at the initial public offering price. Based on the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this prospectus, we expect to issue 357,143 common shares and 71,429 restricted shares. The common shares will not be subject to vesting or forfeiture. The restricted shares are common shares that will be issued under our Equity Incentive Plan, which will vest at a rate of one-third per year and until vested will be subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances. See “Management—Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers—Union Agriculture Group Corp. Equity Incentive Plan.”

We are one of the largest corporate agricultural landholders and operators in Uruguay and a leading producer of agricultural products for export to the global market. We have acquired approximately 84,670 hectares of agricultural land in Uruguay for our operations. Our diversified agricultural operations include crops (soybeans and wheat), rice, dairy, cattle, sheep and other products (blueberries and honey).

Since our formation on January 2, 2008, we have been focused on acquiring farmland, advancing our organizational and business efforts and obtaining financing. We recorded net losses of $1.6 million and $0.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and in our fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and have recorded cumulative net losses of $4.6 million since our formation. Our losses to date have resulted principally from the establishment of our diversified business portfolio, including, but not limited to, the start-up of our crops, rice and dairy businesses, which affected efficiency during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Our commercial activities in fiscal years 2008 and 2009 were not significant. In fiscal year 2010, we began our crops, rice and dairy businesses. As a result, our sales in fiscal year 2010 increased by 692.8% to $1.6 million from $0.2 million in fiscal year 2009. Our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $6.2 million. We expect that our growth in future periods will be dependent on a variety of factors, including competition, our ability to execute our business strategy and our business plan, our ability to expand our business through land acquisitions and general economic conditions.

We believe that global demand for agricultural products will continue growing over the coming years, driven by global population growth, increasing per capita income, and increasing demand for sources of renewable energy.

According to the United Nations, the world population is expected to increase from 6.9 billion in 2010 to approximately 8.3 billion in 2030. This projected 20% increase is expected to be largely driven by the expansion of less developed regions, whose share of the global population is expected to reach 85% by 2030, as compared to 78% in 1990. Accordingly, we believe that agriculture will assume an even greater role in supplying products to satisfy the demand of a growing population.

In addition to a projected increase in population, the global per capita income of developing countries is expected to increase from the current $4,800 per year to $11,000 per year in 2030, according to the World Bank. Moreover, the middle class in these countries, which includes families with an average of four people and a budget between $16,000 and $68,000 per year, is expected to increase from 400.0 million in 2005 to 1.2 billion people in 2030, representing approximately 15% of the total global population. As world per capita income increases, particularly in countries with low per capita income, we expect to see a trend toward increased food consumption, in particular for protein rich products such as meat.

capita basis in recent years. This development is driven by government policies and subsidies for, among other things, biofuel usage, which has resulted in an increasing demand for energy crops such as grains and oilseeds. Another factor that should influence the use of agricultural products for production of biofuels is the increase in oil prices over the last two years, especially due to the concentration of production in few countries.

As a result of growing demand for agricultural products, market prices for our agricultural products, such as wheat and soybeans, have risen this year. However, we expect the market price for rice to remain stable, as the growth in demand is expected to be offset by the increase in global production. Global production of rice reached a record level in 2010 according to USDA, and is projected to further increase this year.

Our results of operations have been influenced and will continue to be influenced by the following factors:

The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail, floods or frost, is unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact on agricultural production, may otherwise affect the supply and prices of the agricultural commodities that we sell and use in our business, and may also, to a lesser extent, adversely affect the kilograms, or kgs, of cattle and sheep produced per hectare. The effects of severe adverse weather conditions may also reduce yields at our farms.

Since our formation, we have experienced fluctuations in our production costs primarily due to fluctuation in the costs of fertilizers, herbicide, seeds, feed and diesel.

Commodity prices have historically experienced substantial fluctuations. Commodity price fluctuations impact our statement of income as follows:

Our fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. However, our production is based on the harvest year for our crops, rice and blueberries. A harvest year varies by plant according to the climate in which it is grown. Due to the geographic diversity of our farms, the planting period for a given plant may start earlier on one farm than on another, causing differences in their respective harvesting periods. Our financial results are presented on a fiscal year basis.

Production area for cattle and sheep is presented on a harvest year basis, as land utilized for cattle and sheep operations is linked to our farming operations and use of farmland during a harvest year, while our financial results for dairy, cattle and sheep are presented on a fiscal year basis.

Our results of operations also depend on the size of the production area. The size of our acquired and leased area devoted to cattle, sheep, crop, rice and blueberry production fluctuates from period to period in connection

with the purchase and development of new farmland, the sale of developed farmland, the lease of new farmland and the termination of existing farmland lease agreements, as well as normal crop rotation. The length of our lease agreements is usually one to three years. The production area for crops and rice can be planted and harvested one or two times per year. As a result, the planted and harvested area can exceed the production area within a single year.

The comparability of our results of operations is also affected by the completion of significant land acquisitions. Our results of operations for earlier periods that do not include recently completed land acquisitions may not be comparable to the results of a more recent period that reflects the results of such land acquisitions. We have acquired significant tracts of farmland since our formation in January 2, 2008, including a total of approximately 190 hectares in fiscal year 2008, 8,160 hectares in fiscal year 2009, 26,000 hectares in fiscal year 2010 and 34,830 hectares in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. These acquisitions affect the comparability of our results of operations due to the resulting increase in our production area.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar and our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The majority of our operations are transacted in U.S. dollars. We sell our production to third parties for export to international markets which generally trade in U.S. dollars and the majority of our significant costs are in U.S. dollars. However, salaries and related costs to management and personnel based in Uruguay are paid in Uruguayan Pesos. In addition, a portion of our cash and cash equivalents are denominated in Canadian dollars. Any transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar could result in foreign currency exchange gains or losses which would affect our statement of income.

Our business activities are inherently seasonal. We generally harvest and sell our soybean and rice production between March and May, and our wheat production from December to January. Blueberries are generally harvested between October and November. Wool is generally sheared between July and August. Sales in our cattle and dairy business segment tend to be less seasonal. However, dairy production is generally higher during September to December, when the weather is more suitable for production. Our lamb meat and apicultural activities are not significantly affected by seasonality. See “Business—Seasonality” for more details.

As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our financial results from one quarter to another. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effect of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and the fair value of biological assets. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce.”

Our capital expenditures during the last three fiscal years and the nine months ended March 31, 2011 consisted primarily of expenses related to payments for acquisitions of land under promesas. Our capital expenditures incurred in connection with such activities were $1.1 million for the fiscal year 2008, $12.0 million for the fiscal year 2009, $96.9 million for the fiscal year 2010 and $110.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

We believe that Uruguay benefits from low taxation compared to other countries in South America. However, we note that the President of Uruguay recently stated that he wished to tax land holdings of more than

2,000 hectares with unknown rates from 2,000 to 10,000 hectares and more than 10,000 hectares at a rate of $16.00 per hectare. Although legislation regarding such a tax has not been introduced, it could come into effect in the future. If such a tax were to come into effect and we reached our objective of holding 160,000 hectares of land in Uruguay, such a tax would increase our total taxes by approximately $2.5 million per year, which would reduce our profitability or increase any loss by such amount.

IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its products, operations and risks. The amount reported for each segment item is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for these purposes.

Operating segments identified are disclosed as reportable segments if they meet any of the following quantitative thresholds:

If, after determining reportable segments in accordance with the preceding quantitative thresholds, the total external revenue attributable to those segments amounts to less than 75% of the total consolidated external revenue, additional segments are identified as reportable segments, even if they do not meet the thresholds described above, until at least 75% of the consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments. Once the 75% of the consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments, the remaining operating segments are aggregated into “All other segments.”

As of March 31, 2011, our principal businesses are crops, rice, cattle, sheep and dairy businesses, and to a lesser extent our blueberry plantations and apiculture. Based on our managerial business structure, we operate in the following reportable segments as of March 31, 2011. Reportable segments for prior periods have been reported based on the current managerial structure:

We do not export our products directly, but sell our products to third parties for export. The measurement principles for our segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenue generated and goods and services exchanged between segments are calculated on the basis of market prices on an individual basis.

Key performance indicators that we use to manage our business and evaluate our financial results and operating performance include yield and cost of production.

Yield is evaluated by segment, and is based on production per hectare of land. For our crops, rice and blueberry segments, we measure our harvest yield per hectare of land. For our cattle and sheep segments, we measure the kilograms of meat produced per hectare of land. We evaluate our yield performance by comparing the results to management forecasts and prior period performance.

We evaluate cost of production by each segment, and compare the results to management forecasts, prior period performance and the market price during the relevant period of the raw materials and consumables we use in our production.

We generate our revenues principally from the sale of agricultural products to third parties for export, and we do not export our products directly. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to us and that the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably, revenue is recognized as a profit or loss. We recognize revenue on product sales when the produce or biological assets are delivered and the customers take ownership and assume risk of loss. When the products are received by the customer at its facility or a designated location or collected directly by the customer from our farms, collection of the relevant receivable is probable and the selling price is fixed or determinable. Net sales of products represent the invoiced value of goods, net of trade discounts and allowances, if any. We also provide certain ancillary agricultural related services to third parties. In addition, we lease a mill and other warehousing space to third parties. Revenue from services is recognized as services are rendered. Lease income is recognized as services are provided. When the lease agreement provides for variable amounts based on a price per ton of product milled, contingent rent is recognized monthly based on the actual amounts involved.

Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce at the Point of Harvest

We measure our biological assets at initial recognition and at each applicable reporting date at fair value less costs to sell. Additionally, we measure agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell.

Gains and losses that arise from measuring biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which they arise as “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.” See “Critical Accounting Policies—Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce” below.

Cost of revenues is comprised of cost of production and cost of agricultural produce and biological assets sold and services rendered. Cost of production includes expenses relating to the agricultural activity such as planting, harvesting, weeding, seedlings, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers, veterinary and others, and is expensed when incurred. Cost of agricultural produce and biological assets sold and services rendered represents the recognition as an expense of agricultural produce held in inventory valued at cost (which reflects the fair value less costs to sell of agricultural produce at the point of harvest) or biological assets valued at fair value less costs to sell when the products are sold, and the costs of providing agricultural services. As a result, cost of production represents the costs expensed during the time the biological assets are growing and cost of agricultural produce and biological assets sold and services rendered represents the expensing of items from inventory and/or biological assets when sold.

General and administrative expenses and sales expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, administrative and finance functions, legal and professional fees, insurance, equity-settled share-based compensation, net worth tax and other corporate and overhead expenses.

We have significantly increased our acquisitions of land every fiscal year since our formation in 2008, which includes land under promesas. We have also commenced production in new business segments every fiscal year since our formation, beginning with blueberries in fiscal year 2008, cattle, sheep and apiculture in fiscal year 2009 and crops, rice and dairy in fiscal year 2010. Furthermore, we have a limited operating history and have not yet reached full operational capacity. Consequently, we believe that period-over-period comparisons of our operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as being a good indicator of our future performance. See “—Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations—Effect of Land Acquisitions” above for additional details.

In addition, the results of operations for fiscal year 2008 only comprise of the period from our formation on January 2, 2008 to June 30, 2008, which is not a full twelve-month period. As a result, we believe that the comparability of fiscal year 2008 operating results to other fiscal years is limited.

Results of Operations—Nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to Nine months ended March 31, 2010

The following table sets forth certain financial information with respect to our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated.

Sales and Cost of Agricultural Produce and Biological Assets and Services Rendered

The following table sets forth the sales of agricultural produce and biological assets by segment for the periods indicated:

In fiscal year 2010, we commenced production in our crops, rice and dairy segments. However, we did not harvest agricultural produce in those segments during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, and therefore we did not have sales of crops, rice or dairy produce during that period. Sales of agricultural produce and biological assets increased from $0.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $6.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily as a result of:

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we entered into short-term operating leases of Arroyo Blanco and Merín farmlands. Additionally, we continued the operating lease with SAMAN for general rice warehousing space. As a result, rental income increased from $0.03 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $0.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, land leased to third parties represented approximately 8.7% of our total land. The lease related to the Arroyo Blanco farmlands was terminated in May 2011, and the lease related to the Merín farmlands was terminated in June 2011.

Initial Recognition and Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce

The following table sets forth the initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce by segment for the periods indicated:

Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce increased from $2.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $11.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to:

Of the $11.6 million of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, $8.1 million represents the unrealized portion, as compared to the $2.4 million unrealized portion of the $2.5 million of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce in the nine months ended March 31, 2010.

The following table sets forth the cost of production by segment for the periods indicated:

Cost of production increased 180.5%, from $2.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $7.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to:

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 255.3%, from $2.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $7.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to:

Selling expenses were not significant to our operations in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 or the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Our sales are made directly to our customers and no related commissions or selling expenses are incurred. As well, transportation expenses are generally borne by our customers. We did not perform any advertising or marketing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 or the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Selling expenses increased from $2,762 in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $124,243 in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to an increase in payroll costs as a result of an increase in the volume of sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

No profit or loss was recognized within other operating income in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, other operating income amounted to $36,544 due to a $50,885 gain resulting from derivative financial instruments, partially offset by a loss of $14,341 resulting from the disposal of fixed assets.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss from operations before financing and taxation for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased 30.0%, from $2.3 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $3.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Financial results, net decreased by $0.3 million, from a profit of $1.4 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to a profit of $1.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in foreign exchange gains, net in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily as a

result of an appreciation of the Uruguayan Peso and the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in the gain from changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 due to an increase in market prices of our investment in equity securities.

Our consolidated income tax expense decreased from a total gain of $0.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $0.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. This decrease primarily relates to the temporary differences that arise from the valuation of our biological assets, our property, plant and equipment and our equity-settled share-based compensation. Our effective tax rate on a consolidated basis was 13.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to 15.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The increase is a consequence of higher non-taxable items and other charges in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010, partially offset by an increase in inflation adjustment for tax purposes and a decrease in tax loss carry forwards not recognized in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss for the period increased 114.7%, from $0.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 to $1.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

The following table sets forth certain financial information with respect to our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated.

Sales and Cost of Agricultural Produce and Biological Assets and Services Rendered

The following table sets forth the sales of agricultural produce and biological assets by segment for the periods indicated:

In fiscal year 2010, we commenced production in our crops, rice and dairy segments, and continued production in our cattle and sheep segments. Sales of agricultural produce and biological assets increased 692.8%, from $0.2 million in fiscal year 2009 to $1.6 million in fiscal year 2010, primarily as a result of:

In fiscal year 2010, we entered into an operating lease agreement with SAMAN pursuant to which we lease general warehousing space to SAMAN. The agreement calls for an annual fixed payment of $40,000 during the first year and $75,000 for the second and third years plus a variable payment of $5 for every ton of rice milled. The fixed payment is increased 12.5% at the inception of every subsequent three-year period. Rental income under this lease was $54,133 in fiscal year 2010. There were no lease agreements in fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

Initial Recognition and Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce

The following table sets forth the initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce by segment for the periods indicated:

Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce increased from $0.2 million in fiscal year 2009 to $5.3 million in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to:

Of the $5.3 million of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce for fiscal year 2010, $4.0 million represents the unrealized portion, as compared to the $0.2 million unrealized portion of the $0.2 million of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce in fiscal year 2009.

The following table sets forth the cost of production by segment for the periods indicated:

Cost of production increased 264.4%, from $0.9 million in fiscal year 2009 to $3.4 million in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to:

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 118.9%, from $1.6 million in fiscal year 2009 to $3.6 million in 2010, primarily due to:

Selling expenses were not significant to our operations in fiscal year 2009 or fiscal year 2010. Our sales are made directly to our customers and no related commissions or selling expenses are incurred. As well, transportation expenses are generally borne by our customers. We did not perform any advertising or marketing activities in fiscal year 2009 or fiscal year 2010.

Selling expenses increased from $3,911 in fiscal year 2009 to $24,613 in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to an increase in payroll costs as a result of an increase in the volume of sales in our cattle, sheep and rice segments in fiscal year 2010.

In fiscal year 2009, other operating income included gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment for an amount of $1,618. No profit or loss was recognized within other operating income in fiscal year 2010.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss from operations before financing and taxation for the fiscal year 2010 decreased 28.6%, from $2.3 million in fiscal year 2009 to $1.6 million in fiscal year 2010.

Financial results, net increased by $1.6 million, from a loss of $0.2 million in fiscal year 2009 to a profit of $1.4 million in fiscal year 2010, primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in foreign exchange gains net from a loss of $0.9 million in fiscal year 2009 to a gain of $0.5 million in fiscal year 2010, primarily as a result of the appreciation of the Uruguayan Peso and the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar in fiscal year 2010, as compared to an appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar in fiscal year 2009.

Our consolidated income tax expense decreased from a total of $0.2 million in fiscal year 2009 to $0.1 million in fiscal year 2010. This decrease primarily relates to the temporary differences that arise from the valuation of our biological assets, our property, plant and equipment and our equity-settled share-based compensation. The effective tax rate on a consolidated basis was 29.5% for fiscal year 2010, as compared to

6.3% for fiscal year 2009. The increase is a consequence of higher non-deductible items and other charges in fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009, partially offset by an increase in tax loss carry forwards not recognized in fiscal year 2010.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss for the year decreased 86.6%, from $2.7 million in fiscal year 2009 to $0.4 million in fiscal year 2010.

The following table sets forth certain financial information with respect to our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated.

Sales and Cost of Agricultural Produce and Biological Assets and Services Rendered

The following table sets forth the sales of agricultural produce and biological assets by segment for the periods indicated:

We commenced operations in April 2008, primarily operating our blueberry business on 40 hectares of immature blueberry plantations. Our commercial activity in fiscal year 2008 was minimal with no sales recorded.

In fiscal year 2009, we commenced production in our cattle, sheep and apiculture segments. Sales of agricultural produce and biological assets increased from nil in fiscal year 2008 to $0.2 million in fiscal year 2009, primarily as a result of:

Initial Recognition and Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce

The following table sets forth the initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce by segment for the periods indicated:

Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce increased from $5,864 in fiscal year 2008 to $232,324 in fiscal year 2009, primarily due to:

Of the $0.2 million of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce for fiscal year 2009, $0.2 million represented the unrealized portion, as compared to the $5,864 unrealized portion of the $5,864 of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce in fiscal year 2008.

The following table sets forth the cost of production by segment for the periods indicated:

Cost of production increased from $5,864 in fiscal year 2008 to $0.9 million in fiscal year 2009, primarily due to:

Our general and administrative expenses increased from $0.1 million in fiscal year 2008 to $1.6 million in 2009, primarily due to:

Selling expenses were not significant to our operations in fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2009. Our sales are made directly to our customers and no related commissions or selling expenses are incurred. As well, transportation expenses are generally borne by our customers. We did not perform any advertising or marketing activities in fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2009.

Selling expenses increased from nil in fiscal year 2008 to $3,911 in fiscal year 2009, primarily due to our sales of cattle, sheep and honey, which commenced in fiscal year 2009.

No profit or loss was recognized as other operating income in fiscal year 2008. In fiscal year 2009, other operating income included the gain from the sale of fixed assets for an aggregate amount of $1,618.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss from operations before financing and taxation for the year increased from $104,408 in fiscal year 2008 to $2.3 million in fiscal year 2009.

Financial results, net decreased by $0.2 million, from a loss of $6,615 in fiscal year 2008 to a loss of $212,127 in fiscal year 2009, primarily due to:

Our consolidated income tax expense increased from a total of $0.01 million in fiscal year 2008 to a total of $0.2 million for fiscal year 2009. This increase primarily relates to the temporary differences that arise from the

valuation of our biological assets and our property, plant and equipment. The effective tax rate on a consolidated basis was 6.3% for fiscal year 2009, as compared to 4.7% for fiscal year 2008. The increase is a consequence of higher non-deductible items and other charges in 2009 as compared to those amounts in 2008, partially offset by an increase in tax loss carry forwards not recognized in fiscal year 2009.

As a result of the foregoing, our loss for the year increased from $0.1 million in fiscal year 2008 to $2.7 million in fiscal year 2009.

Our liquidity and capital resources are and will be influenced by a variety of factors, including:

We have a limited operating history and we have incurred operating losses since our formation. Our primary source of liquidity has consisted of proceeds from private placements of our common shares, from which we have raised aggregated net proceeds of $353.3 million from our formation through March 31, 2011. We expect our operating cash flow to be positive in fiscal year 2012 as we ramp up operations for our acquired farmlands. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive operating cash flow. We do not have any borrowings outstanding.

We used cash for our operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 due primarily to net losses reported in each period, non-cash charges to earnings and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges to earnings primarily included depreciation and amortization of our long-term assets, unrealized changes in the fair value of biological assets, employee stock options granted, changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, foreign exchange gains or losses, interest income and income tax expense, among others. Our changes in operating assets and liabilities are primarily affected by changes in our biological assets, trade receivables and trade payables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and inventories.

Net cash used in operating activities was $12.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we generated a net loss of $1.6 million that included non-cash charges relating primarily to the unrealized portion of the “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” of $8.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million (reflecting the impact in depreciation of a higher asset base due to property items acquisitions during the period), interest income of $0.2 million (due to a decrease in loans granted to third parties), employee stock options granted of $1.3 million (due to an increase in the number of stock options granted to directors, management and key employees), changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of $0.6 million (due to an increase in market prices of our investment in equity securities), income tax benefit of $0.2 million, and other non-cash charges.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, our results of operations continued to be significantly affected by the establishment and expansion of our diversified business portfolio, which affected our efficiency. Our net

loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was partially offset by changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of $0.6 million due to an increase in market prices of our investment in equity securities and interest income of $0.5 million generated by loans granted to third parties.

In addition, during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, other changes in operating asset and liability balances resulted in a further net decrease in cash of $2.8 million primarily due to (i) an increase of $7.6 million in biological assets related to the expansion of our operating activities, and (ii) an increase of $2.0 million in trade and other receivables mainly related to higher sales and to advances made to third parties for the payments of land under promesas. These effects were partially offset by (i) an increase of $4.3 million in trade and other payables reflecting our growing operations, and (ii) a decrease of $1.8 million in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss due to the sale of our investment in equity securities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010. During the nine months ended March 31, 2010, we generated a net loss of $0.7 million that included non-cash charges relating primarily to the unrealized portion of the “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” of $2.5 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.1 million, interest income of $0.4 million and foreign exchange gains of $0.4 million (due to the appreciation of the Uruguayan Peso and the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar), and other non-cash charges.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, our results of operations continued to be significantly affected by the establishment of our diversified business portfolio, including the start-up of our crops and rice businesses, which affected our efficiency. Our net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was partially offset by a significant foreign exchange gain of $0.9 million arising from the appreciation of the Uruguayan Peso and the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, and interest income of $0.5 million generated by loans granted to third parties.

In addition, during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, other changes in operating asset and liability balances resulted in a further net decrease in cash of $2.4 million, primarily due to (i) an increase of $2.4 million in trade and other receivables mainly related to higher sales, to advances made to third parties for the payments of land under promesas and to higher purchases of goods and services due to the expansion of our operating activities, which generate an increase in tax credits, and (ii) an increase of $0.6 million in inventories relating to the expansion of our operating activities. These effects were partially offset by an increase in trade and other payables of $1.0 million, reflecting our growing operations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $108.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily related to payments for land under promesas (primarily farmlands for our crops, rice and cattle businesses) totaling $86.4 million, purchases of property, plant and equipment (primarily machinery) totaling $5.2 million, and payments for investment property under promesas (primarily land) totaling $18.6 million. Net inflows from investing activities were primarily related to proceeds of $1.7 million from loans granted to third parties.

Net cash used in investing activities was $42.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, primarily related to payments for land under promesas (primarily farmlands for our crops, rice and cattle businesses) totaling $41.3 million, and purchases of property and plant and equipment (primarily machinery) totaling $2.3 million. Net inflows from investing activities were primarily related to proceeds of $1.0 million from loans granted to third parties and $1.9 million from investments in debt certificates.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $158.0 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, mainly derived from the net cash proceeds of capital contributions received from new and existing shareholders.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $101.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, mainly derived from the net cash proceeds of capital contributions received from new and existing shareholders.

We used cash for our operating activities in fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008 due primarily to net losses reported in each fiscal year, non-cash charges to earnings and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges to earnings primarily included depreciation and amortization of our long-term assets, unrealized changes in the fair value of biological assets, foreign exchange gains or losses, interest income and income tax expense, among others. Our changes in operating assets and liabilities are primarily affected by changes in our biological assets, trade receivables and trade payables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and inventories.

Net cash used in operating activities was $13.7 million in fiscal year 2010. During fiscal year 2010, we generated a net loss of $0.4 million that included non-cash charges relating primarily to the unrealized portion of the “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” of $4.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million (reflecting the impact in depreciation of a higher asset base due to property items acquisitions during the year), interest income of $0.7 million (due to an increase in loans granted to third parties), foreign exchange gains of $0.1 million (due to the appreciation of the Uruguayan Peso and the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar), gain from changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss of $0.2 million (due to increases in market prices of investments in equity securities), and other non-cash charges.

In fiscal year 2010, our results of operations continued to be significantly affected by the establishment of our diversified business portfolio including the start-up of our crops, rice and dairy businesses, which affected our efficiency. Our net loss for fiscal year 2010 was partially offset by a significant foreign exchange gain of $0.5 million arising from the appreciation of the Uruguayan Peso and the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar, and interest income of $0.7 million generated by loans granted to third parties.

In addition, during fiscal year 2010, other changes in operating asset and liability balances resulted in a further net decrease in cash of $8.7 million primarily due to (i) an increase of $5.0 million in trade and other receivables mainly related to higher sales, to advances made to third parties for the purchase of land, and to higher purchases of goods and services due to the expansion of our operating activities which generate an increase in tax credits, (ii) an increase of $1.8 million in biological assets relating to the expansion of our operating activities, and (iii) an increase of $1.8 million in inventories relating to the expansion of our operating activities. These effects were partially offset by an increase in trade payables of $0.9 million and social security liabilities of $0.1 million, reflecting our growing operations.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.2 million in fiscal year 2009. During such fiscal year, we generated a net loss of $2.7 million that included non-cash charges relating primarily to depreciation and

amortization of $0.1 million (reflecting the impact in depreciation of a higher asset base due to property items acquisitions during the year), interest income of $0.3 million (due to investments in debt certificates), foreign exchange losses of $0.2 million (due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar), the unrealized portion of the “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” of $0.2 million, stock options granted to employees for an amount of $0.3 million, and other non-cash charges.

In fiscal year 2009, our results of operations continued to be significantly affected by the establishment of our diversified business portfolio including the start-up of our cattle and sheep businesses which affected our efficiency. Our net loss for fiscal year 2009 was also affected by a significant foreign exchange loss of $0.9 million arising from the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, which was partially offset by an interest income of $0.7 million generated by investments in debt certificates and short-term bank deposits.

Other changes in operating asset and liability balances resulted in a net increase in cash of $0.3 million during fiscal year 2009, primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in trade and other payables mainly released to selling agents who assisted us in connection with our private capital raising during the fiscal year. This effect was partially offset by an increase in biological assets of $1.0 million and an increase in trade and other receivables of $0.3 million, reflecting our growing operations.

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.3 million in fiscal year 2008. During such year, we generated a net loss of $0.1 million that included non-cash charges relating primarily to depreciation of $0.01 million, the unrealized portion of the “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” of $0.01 million, and other non-cash charges.

In fiscal year 2008, our results of operations were affected by the start-up of our activities as we were organized on January 2, 2008. From our formation through June 30, 2008, we operated primarily with only a minor extension of hectares of blueberry plantations. Our commercial activity during fiscal year 2008 was minimal, with no sales recorded.

In addition, other changes in operating asset and liability balances affected our cash flow from operations, resulting in a further net decrease in cash of $0.2 million during fiscal year 2008 primarily due to an increase of $0.2 million in trade receivables due to purchases of goods and services which generated an increase in tax credits, partially offset by an increase in trade and other payables of $0.01 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $96.1 million in fiscal year 2010, primarily related to payments for land under promesas (primarily farmlands for our crops, rice and cattle businesses) totaling $89.2 million, purchases of property, plant and equipment (primarily machinery) totaling $3.0 million, and payments for investment property under promesas (primarily land and certain facilities) totaling $4.7 million. Net inflows from investing activities were primarily related to proceeds of $2.4 million from loans granted to third parties and $1.9 million from investments in debt certificates.

Net cash used in investing activities was $14.5 million in fiscal year 2009, primarily due to payments for land under promesas (primarily farmlands for cattle activities) totaling $11.5 million, and purchases of investments in debt securities of $1.9 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million in fiscal year 2008, due to our acquisition of subsidiaries involved in the blueberry business.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $110.0 million in fiscal year 2010, mainly derived from net cash proceeds from capital contributions received from new and existing shareholders.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $83.7 million in fiscal year 2009, mainly derived from net cash proceeds from capital contributions received from new and existing shareholders.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million in fiscal year 2008, derived from net cash proceeds from capital contributions received from new shareholders.

Historically, since our cash flows from operations were insufficient to fund our working capital needs and investment plans we funded our operations with proceeds from capital contributions from existing and new private investors. As of March 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $104.9 million. We believe that our current levels of cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations, combined with the net proceeds derived from this offering, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, we may need additional cash resources in the future to continue our investment plans. Also, we may need additional cash if we experience a change in business conditions or other developments. We also may need additional cash resources in the future if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisitions, strategic alliances or other similar investments. If we ever determine that our cash requirements exceed our cash and cash equivalents on hand, we may seek to issue debt or additional equity securities. Any issuance of equity securities could cause dilution for our shareholders. Any incurrence of indebtedness could result in debt service obligations and cause us to become subject to restrictive operating and financial covenants, and could require that we pledge collateral to secure those borrowings, if permitted to do so. It is possible that, if and when we need additional cash resources, financing will not be available to us in amounts or on terms that would be favorable to us or at all.

We expect that our operations may use cash instead of generating cash in the near future, until full capacity is reached in each of our recently acquired farms. Based on current projections, we anticipate that we will generally achieve full capacity in our recently acquired farms in 12 to 18 months from the date of acquisition. Also, we may continue incurring more losses in the near future as we continue to implement our business plan.

We believe that the cash generated from the foregoing sources will be sufficient to meet our present requirements including short-term working capital and long-term capital expenditures. In addition, we have the

ability to obtain indebtedness or issue additional equity securities, and we believe that the proceeds we will be able to raise from these two sources will be in excess of our short-term working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Our ability to fund projected capital expenditures may be constrained in the event external financing is not available, or on terms favorable to us, and accordingly we may have to postpone our capital expenditure plan. If we are not able to timely consummate our capital expenditure plan, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

From time to time, we may make short-term loans of our cash balances that are not otherwise immediately required for investment or working capital, if favorable rates are available. We loan these funds to an unrelated third-party Uruguayan firm that in turn makes smaller loans to local consumers. The loans are guaranteed by receivables and contain customary covenants. As of March 31, 2011, we had $821,377 of short-term loans receivable outstanding, which represented 0.23% of our total assets. The average interest rate on such loans was 16.5%, and the average maturity date was May 2011.

Capital expenditures totaled $110.2 million and $43.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Capital expenditures totaled $96.9 million, $12.0 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our capital expenditures consisted of payments for land under promesas, acquisitions of subsidiaries, payments for investment property under promesas and payments for machinery, equipment, buildings and other property items.

We expect continuous capital expenditures for the foreseeable future as we continue making payments for land under promesas in Uruguay. We expect to finance our future capital expenditures with the net proceeds of this offering, with our operating cash flow as a supplemental source of funding.

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2010:

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to commodity price and interest rate risks, primarily related to our crop production activities and changes in exchange rates and interest rates. Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize our capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control our financial risks effectively. We may use financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on our internal management risk policies. For further information on our market risks, see note 4 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and note 3 to our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

For any of the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations with unconsolidated entities or otherwise that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We prepared our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and the interpretations of the IFRIC. We prepared our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and the interpretations of the IFRIC, including IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting.” We applied IFRS for the first time for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 with a transition date of January 2, 2008. See note 3 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding our transition to IFRS and application of IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of IFRS.” Critical accounting policies are policies important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and which require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the following significant accounting policies as critical to the understanding of our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. We continually evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements or our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements will be affected.

We believe the following to be our most significant critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Generally, real estate transactions in Uruguay begin with the execution of a preliminary agreement with respect to the real estate, or a “Boleto de Reserva,” by which the seller “books” or “reserves” the real estate property to the buyer. The main intention of the Boleto de Reserva is to obtain, prior to definitive purchase; all required documentation before the national registries in order to duly confirm that the real estate to be transferred has no liens and has all of the required documentation. Once all of the documentation has been obtained, it is common business practice in the real estate market in Uruguay that the parties execute a purchase promise, or “Promesa de Compraventa” (hereinafter referred to as the “promesa”) for the real estate.

The promesa is a contract regulated by Uruguayan Law No. 8,733. Under such law, a promesa is a definitive contract and not a preliminary agreement. In order to be enforceable against third parties, the promesa is usually registered before the public registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria). Under Law 8,733, the promesa provides the buyer with certain rights such as the right to access and use the property, and sell, lease, assign or pledge the rights under the promesa. A promesa is completed, and legal title is transferred, when a final purchase agreement, or escritura, is executed. The holder of a promesa has the ability to sell his rights in the promesa, which would allow the buyer of such promesa the right to seek legal title to the land. Based on the opinion of our Uruguayan legal counsel, Bragard & Duran Abogados, any company regardless of its legal structure can enter into a promesa under Law No. 8,733.

In 2006, the Uruguayan government enacted Law No. 18,092 (as amended by Article 349 of Law No. 18,172). Generally, Law No. 18,092 prohibits persons other than individuals and companies having

registered shares held by individuals to (1) be owners of farmland and/or (2) to use farmland in Uruguay. The consequence of non-compliance with Law No. 18,092 was that the non-complying company would be deemed automatically dissolved and its assets distributed to its shareholders. Under Law No. 18,092, companies that had bearer shares or whose shares were not owned by natural persons (“Non-Compliant Companies”) were provided a period of two years from enactment of Law No. 18,092 to modify their capital structure to comply with such law (the “Compliance Period”). During the Compliance Period, Non-Compliant Companies were permitted to continue using farmland. Subsequent to the enactment of Law No, 18,092, the Uruguayan government extended the Compliance Period for successive one-year periods through June 30, 2011. Consequently, Non-Compliant Companies were permitted to continue using farmland until that date.

In 2007 and 2008 the Executive Power of Uruguay issued Decrees Nos. 225/07 and 201/08 providing certain exceptions to Law No. 18,092 for Non-Compliant Companies. These exceptions are the following:

Applications for the Productive Project Exception are reviewed by the Comisión de Aplicación de la Ley de Tierras (or the “Land Law Commission”) based on business plans furnished by the requesting company. In order for a project to qualify for the Productive Project Exception, the Land Law Commission considers factors such as creation of new employment opportunities within the rural sector; development of small family enterprises; eradication of poverty in rural sectors; incorporation of technology; promotion of territorial decentralization; and development of new productive circuits. The review of an application by the Land Law Commission generally takes 12 to 16 months for final determination. However, Decrees Nos. 225/07 and 201/08 also provide for an expedited process for authorization to own and/or use farmland for companies that have already obtained an exception to own and/or use farmland. In such cases, authorization to own and/or use additional land shall be automatically granted within 30 business days after an application for governmental authorization has been properly submitted, unless the Executive Power denies the application prior to such time (the “Expedited Process”). If the Executive Power denies the application under the Expedited Process, processing will continue in accordance with the standard authorization procedures as described above.

The Compliance Period was not extended beyond June 30, 2011. However, in contemplation of the expiration of the Compliance Period, on June 23, 2011, the Executive Power issued Decree No. 218/11, which provided that Non-Compliant Companies that properly submitted an application on or prior to June 30, 2011 are permitted to continue using farmland subject to such applications pending final determination of such applications. However, Decree No. 218/11 does not itself grant automatic authorization.

The common stock of our subsidiaries is currently represented by bearer shares not held by individuals as mandated by Law No. 18,092. Therefore, as of the date of our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, our subsidiaries are Non-Compliant Companies under by Law No. 18,092.

Our subsidiaries have executed promesas as fully permitted by Law No. 8,733. As described above, by execution of the promesas, these subsidiaries have acquired certain rights to, but not legal title to the land. Therefore, our subsidiaries are not legal owners of the land. Based on the opinion of our Uruguayan legal

counsel, Bragard & Duran Abogados, such subsidiaries are therefore not currently violating Law No. 18,092 with respect to the ownership of the land. In order to maintain their current legal structure and be therefore able to own the land, these subsidiaries have requested authorization to own the land under the Productive Project Exceptions as further described below.

Furthermore, most of our subsidiaries that hold land under promesas are not using the land themselves. Instead, until June 22, 2011, the land underlying such promesas was being used by UAG S.A., another of our wholly owned subsidiaries, pursuant to intercompany agreements under Uruguayan law known as “comodatos,” between each of our subsidiaries holding land under promesas and UAG S.A. The comodatos are inter-company contracts pursuant to which each of our subsidiaries that holds land under promesas has transferred the right to use the land underlying such promesas to UAG S.A. A comodato allows the promissory buyer of land under a promesa (the “transferor”) to transfer the right to use such land to another person (the “transferee”) so that the transferee may use such land. Under Uruguayan law, neither the transfer of such land by the transferor to the transferee, nor the use of such land by the transferee, is considered to be use of the land by the transferor, even where the two parties are affiliated. We decided to transfer the right to use the land to UAG S.A. through comodatos in order to obtain benefits from centralized management of most of its businesses in one company.

Four of our subsidiaries (Boisy S.A., Vadolmar S.A., Madalux S.A. and Nogatir S.A.) applied for and received the Productive Project Exception to own and use 188 hectares in December 2009 or the “First Productive Project.” These four subsidiaries executed escrituras and own the 188 hectares of land.

In October 2009, three of our subsidiaries (Rafilur S.A., Aguacare S.A. and Canteras Doradas S.A.) applied for governmental authorization based on the Productive Project Exception to own 17,846 hectares of land or the “Second Productive Project.” Additionally, under the Second Productive Project, UAG S.A. applied for governmental authorization to use those 17,846 hectares of land. Such subsidiaries received the authorization to own and use such 17,846 hectares of land under the Second Productive Project exception in May 2011. These subsidiaries expect to execute the deeds of title in due course. See Note 26 to our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

In March 2011, three of our subsidiaries (Alto Lucero S.A., Rafilur S.A. and Madalux S.A.) applied for governmental authorizations based on the Productive Project Exception to own an aggregate of 51,081 hectares of land under promesas, or the “Third Productive Project.” On June 27, 2011, the number of hectares under the Third Productive Project was extended to 66,645 hectares. Additionally, under the Third Productive Project, our wholly-owned subsidiary Boisy S.A. applied for governmental authorizations to use such 66,645 hectares of land since Boisy S.A. had received the right to use such hectares of land pursuant to comodatos as further described below. As of the date of our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the authorization for the “Third Productive Project” is pending. We believe that our business project contributes to the productivity of Uruguay, the creation of jobs, production of exportable commodities, incorporation of technology and other beneficial aspects, which are all factors in the determination of the Third Productive Project Exception. Based on the opinion of our Uruguayan legal counsel, Bragard & Duran Abogados, and merits of the projects presented and approvals obtained to date, we expect that our subsidiaries will obtain the required exception to the Third Productive Project within 12 to 16 months of the date of the application. However, there can be no assurance as to the timing or final outcome of this authorization request. If the subsidiaries receive the authorization for the Third Productive Project, the subsidiaries will proceed with the execution of the escrituras (deed) to obtain legal title to the land.

On June 22, 2011, comodatos that transfer the right to use approximately 64,000 hectares of land under the Third Productive Project to UAG S.A. were terminated, and new comodatos were entered into between each of our subsidiaries that holds land under promesas and Boisy S.A. We entered into these new comodatos as Boisy S.A. had already received authorization to use land in the past and, in accordance with Decrees Nos. 225/07 and 201/08, it would be allowed to apply for the Expedited Process as described above. Therefore, on June 22, 2011, Boisy S.A. applied for governmental authorization to use approximately 64,000 hectares of land, which were also

included under the Third Productive Project. Boisy S.A. is currently using such land pursuant comodatos as described above. We expect to obtain this authorization 30 business days after the date we made the application, although there can be no assurance that the government will not deny the application. In the event the government denies Boisy S.A.’s application under the Expedited Process, processing will continue with the standard authorization under the Third Productive Project. We did not apply for the Expedited Process prior to June 22, 2011 during the Compliance Period as described above, since we expected the government would extend the Compliance Period subsequent to June 30, 2011 and thus the Third Productive Project would be authorized in due course.

We are currently authorized to use all of our land held under promesas, as the use of all of our land held under promesas has either been authorized by the Uruguayan government or is subject to applications for authorization and, therefore, use of such land is permitted under Decree No. 218/11.

We are in the process of completing our initial public offering of our common shares. Upon the completion of the offering, our common shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and thereafter our subsidiaries will be able to apply for an authorization to own and use based on the Public Company Exception. This authorization process generally takes approximately 12 to 16 months after the Offering is complete. Once the authorization is obtained, our subsidiaries will proceed with the execution of the escrituras to obtain legal title to the land under the Third Productive Project.

Because of the prohibition on ownership of farmland by Non-Compliant Companies set forth in Law No. 18,092, legal title to the land has not been obtained as of the date of our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Nevertheless, our Uruguayan legal counsel, Bragard & Duran Abogados, is of the opinion that the promesas are legally valid under Law No. 8,733, and as a result of their validity and for the reasons cited below, we have recognized the payments for the full price of land under promesas as assets under the line item “Land under promesas” and “Investment Property under promesas” in the statement of financial position, as applicable.

We have recognized payments for promesas for which title has not been obtained as assets on the statement of financial position because (1) we paid a full price for the promesas and that price can be measured reliably and the promesas are legally valid under Law No. 8,733; (2) it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the promesas will flow to us as we have the ability to sell our rights in the promesas and the sales value less costs to sell such rights is in excess of the carrying value of the assets recorded, and because from the date the promesas were signed, we are obtaining benefits from using the land for our agricultural purposes as permitted by Law 8,733, Law 18,092 and related Decrees; (3) the promesas entitle us to certain rights including but not limited to (i) the use of the underlying land (as permitted by Law 8,733) through June 30, 2011, and after that date, pending determination of our application for governmental authorization; (ii) the risks and benefits associated with the promesas; (iii) the right to sell, assign, transfer, or lease the promesas to a third party, in the case of a sale for an amount equal to the fair value of the land because a buyer would be expected to seek the deed; and/or (iv) pledge the promesas; and (4) the promesas we executed are definitive binding agreements between us and a seller and are legally registered under Uruguayan Law and enforceable against third parties. As of March 31, 2011, the fair value less costs to sell of the land underlying the promesas exceeds the amounts paid for the promesas such that there is no indication of impairment of the assets.

Once the authorizations to own and use the land are obtained and the deeds of title or escrituras are executed, the payments reported as land under promesas will be reclassified to the land category within property, plant and equipment.

Upon completion of the offering, we intend to submit the application for approval under the Public Company Exception described above. We will be permitted to apply for such exemption once the offering is complete. We expect the process to obtain the Public Company Exception to take approximately 12 to 16 months after the application. In addition, as further described above, we are able to sell and/or transfer the promesas at any point in time to a third purchaser who will seek execution of the deed of title.

We measure biological assets, which include unharvested crops and rice, beef and dairy cattle, live sheep, blueberry bushes and colonies of bees (at initial recognition, when the biological asset has attained significant biological growth, and at each subsequent measurement reporting date) and agricultural produce, which include harvested crop, rough rice, wool, raw milk, blueberry fruit and honey (at the point of harvest) at fair value less costs to sell in accordance with IAS 41 “Biological Assets,” or IAS 41. The objective of the fair value model under IAS 41 is to recognize gains and losses arising from such measurements gradually over the asset’s life rather than only on sale or realization. IAS 41 prescribes, among other things, the accounting treatment for biological assets during the period of growth, degeneration, production and procreation, and for the initial measurement of agricultural produce at the point of harvest.

We measure biological assets that have not attained significant biological growth or when the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material, at cost less any impairment losses, which approximates fair value.

The following table sets forth the period in which our biological assets generally attain significant biological growth and the corresponding agricultural produce obtained:

Expenses relating to the agricultural activity include land preparation expenses and other direct production expenses incurred during the sowing period including costs of labor, fuel, seeds, agrochemicals and fertilizer, among others. Since IAS 41 does not provide guidance on the treatment of these costs, we generally expense all costs directly involved with the management of biological assets and include them within “cost of production” in the statement of income.

We account for agricultural produce after harvest as inventory, as further described below. Fair value less costs to sell of agricultural produce at the point of harvest becomes cost of inventories after harvest.

The following table sets forth the way in which we value our most significant biological assets and agricultural produce for each of our principal products:

Our fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. However, our production is based on the harvest year for each of our crops, rice and blueberries. A harvest year varies according to the crop or rice plant and to the climate in which it is grown. The planting period for a given crop or rice may start earlier on one farm than on another, causing differences for their respective harvesting periods.

The following table shows the production process for each of our main crops, reflecting the average periods at which each stage of production occurs:

Due to the nature and opportunity of our planting and harvesting activities as described above, the valuation of our biological assets is more relevant at the end of our interim periods ended December 31 or March 31 of each year. Generally, soybeans and rice are fully harvested as of year-end. For our fiscal year 2010, our biological assets comprised only of recently planted wheat (which had attained no significant biological growth) and blueberry bushes. Therefore, as of June 30, 2010, our biological assets that were subject to a valuation model are limited to our blueberry bushes. These plantations are not material to our total operations and only represent approximately 40 hectares of our landholdings. As a result, we believe a reasonable shift in any assumption used in the valuation model may not have a significant impact in our results of operations.

We recognize gains and losses that arise from measuring biological assets at fair value less cost to sell and measuring agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell in the statement of income in the period in which they arise as “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.”

When an active market exists for biological assets, we use the quoted market price in the most relevant market as a basis to determine the fair value of our biological assets, as in the case of cattle and sheep.

For all other biological assets where there is neither an active market nor market-determined prices during the growth cycle (primarily our crops, rice and blueberry plantations), we determine their fair value through the use of discounted cash flow, or DCF, valuation techniques. Therefore, we generally derive the fair value of our growing biological assets from the expected cash flows of the related agricultural produce. The DCF method requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including observable and unobservable data. Generally, the estimation of the fair value of biological assets is based on models or inputs that are not observable in the market, and the use of unobservable inputs is significant to the overall valuation of the assets. Various factors influence the availability of observable inputs, including, but not limited to, the type of asset and its location, climatic changes and the technology used, among others.

Unobservable inputs are determined based on the best information available, for example, by reference to historical information regarding past practices and results, if available, statistical and agronomical information and other analytical techniques. Changes in the assumptions underlying such subjective inputs can materially affect the fair value estimate and impact our results of operations and financial condition from period to period.

The DCF method requires the following significant inputs to project revenues and costs:

In contrast to biological assets whose fair value is generally determined using the DCF method, we generally determine the fair value of our agricultural produce at the point of harvest using quoted market prices.

Market prices used in the DCF model are determined by reference to observable data in the relevant market (e.g., for crops and rice). Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated by our agronomic engineers based on several factors, including the location of the farmland, soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of our control, including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other diseases. Discount rates reflect current market assessments of the risks associated with the assets involved and the time value of money.

The estimates for prices, costs, yields and discount rates are the assumptions that most significantly affect the fair value determination of biological assets. These assumptions are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions, including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices and discount rates used would result in a significant increase or decrease of the fair value of biological assets and significantly impact our statement of income. In addition, cash flows are projected over the following year or a number of years (depending on the type of biological asset) and based on estimated production. Estimates of production in and of themselves depend on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact estimated production and could, therefore, affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value.

However, due to the nature and opportunity of our planting and harvesting activities as described in the table above, as of June 30 of each year, we generally have only wheat planted with insignificant biological growth and thus the cost incurred approximates fair value. Soybeans and rice are generally harvested as of June 30 of each year, thus any estimation made during the year was adjusted as of year-end. Blueberry plantations are not significant to our overall operations as of June 30, 2010, with only 40 hectares. For all of these reasons we believe that a sensitivity analysis of changes in our assumptions as of year-end is not relevant.

At the point of harvest, we recognize the agricultural produce at fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the cost for inventory purposes in accordance with IAS 2 “Inventories.” When we sell our inventory, we sell it at the prevailing market price and we incur direct selling expenses. We consider gains and losses recorded in the line item of the statement of income “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” to be “realized” only when the related produce is sold to third parties and, therefore, converted into cash or other financial assets.

The sale of agricultural produce is revenue as defined in IAS 18 “Revenue,” or IAS 18. However, IAS 41 does not provide guidance on the presentation of revenues and costs arising from the selling of biological assets and agricultural produce. Due to the lack of guidance in IAS 41 and based on IAS 1, “Presentation of financial statements,” we present, as a matter of accounting policy, our sales of biological assets and agricultural produce and their respective costs of sale separately in two line items in the statement of income. The line item “sales of agricultural produce and biological assets and services rendered” represents the consideration received or receivable for the sale to third parties based generally on the applicable quoted market prices of the respective produce or biological asset in the relevant markets at the point of sale.

The line item “cost of agricultural produce sold and services rendered” represents the recognition as an expense of our agricultural produce held in inventory valued at cost (fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest) or our biological assets value at fair value less costs to sell.

Based on the foregoing, the gross profit of our agricultural activities is a function of the “initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce,” our revenues and cost of revenues and our costs of production.

We review the carrying amounts of our property, plant and equipment, land under promesas, investment property under promesas, and intangible assets of finite life at the date of each statement of financial position to determine whether there is any indication that such assets have suffered impairment. An impairment loss, if any exists, is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. We also review our goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired.

Due to the characteristics of our investments in Uruguay, we tested all of our cash generating units, or CGUs, regardless of any goodwill allocated to it, based on a fair value less costs-to-sell model. See note 5(b) to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and note 4(b) to our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

In using this model, we applied the “sales comparison approach” as the method of valuing most properties. This approach is based on the theory that the fair value of a property is directly related to the selling prices of similar properties. The fair value of farmland property is the amount of money we would realize if a willing seller sold it at arm’s length to a willing buyer. These values reflect, as necessary, factors such as location, size, soil type (including soil texture and quality, yields, topography, drainage, rain levels and others), productive capability (the ability of the land to produce crops and/or maintain livestock), climate, risk and other factors. See note 5(b) to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and note 4(b) to our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of amounts tested. Based on the testing performed, we determined that none of the CGUs, with or without allocated goodwill, were impaired as of June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 (for all CGUs tested, fair value less costs to sell was significantly higher than carrying amount). We may be assisted by external appraisers in determining the fair value less costs-to-sell of a property.

The sales comparison approach considers current market conditions of the agricultural real estate market in Uruguay, and the results of such approach were determined based on recent market transactions within the regions where each property is located, adjusted for the specific characteristics of such property being valued. The sales comparison approach assumes that recent market transactions are performed by willing buyers and sellers in arm’s length transactions after proper marketing, and that the parties acted knowingly, prudently and without compulsion. Therefore, the prices obtained from recent market transactions take into account the degree of liquidity in the market. The sales comparison approach analyzes each individual property on a property by property basis and assumes that the sale of any one of our properties could be accomplished in an orderly manner. The sales comparison approach does not take into account the need to sell multiple properties, or that any sale may need to be completed on an expedited basis.

We are incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act and are exempted from payment of BVI income taxes. Our operating subsidiaries in Uruguay are subject to income taxes. We do not prepare or file a consolidated income tax return. Each operating subsidiary prepares and files its respective income tax returns based on the Uruguayan tax legislation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We record liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether

additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact our current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

Income taxes of each subsidiary are accounted for under the asset and liability method according to IAS 12 “Income Taxes,” or IAS 12. According to IAS 12, it is inherent in the recognition of an asset or liability that the reporting entity expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of that asset or liability. If it is probable that recovery or settlement of that carrying amount will make future tax payments larger (or smaller) than they would be if such recovery or settlement were to have no tax consequences, IAS 12 requires the entity to recognise a deferred tax liability (or deferred tax asset), with limited exceptions.

Therefore, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax consequences and are attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax bases, and also to operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. For example, when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its tax base, the amount of taxable economic benefits will exceed the amount that will be allowed as a deduction for tax purposes. This difference is a taxable temporary difference and the obligation to pay the resulting income taxes in future periods is a deferred tax liability.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the deferred tax assets and liabilities is taken into account in the income for the period that includes the enactment date of such change.

Deferred income tax assets are recorded only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred income tax assets are recorded for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefits through taxable profit is probable.

As of March 31, 2011, we had $10.6 million in tax loss carry forwards generated from 2008 through March 31, 2011, with expiration dates from 2013 through 2015. However, as of March 31, 2011, we did not record deferred tax assets relating to all of our tax loss carry forwards because, although we believe that we will become profitable in the foreseeable future, as a result of our history of recent losses, limited operating history and lack of verifiable and objective available evidence, we consider that there is insufficient certainty as to whether sufficient income will be generated to utilize the losses within a reasonable timeframe.

Upon completion of this offering, we will be required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of SOX, so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal controls, and, commencing with our annual report for fiscal year 2012, so that our independent registered public accounting firm can render an opinion on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In the course of preparing our financial statements for the fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, we identified several deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting. For example, we have not maintained effective controls over our financial close and reporting process, to ensure that journal entries were prepared with sufficient support or documentation or reviewed and approved to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the entries recorded, over the accuracy and completeness of spreadsheets used in the period-end closing process and other spreadsheets supporting the company’s financial reporting, over the resolution of reconciling items on our bank account reconciliations, or over the completeness, accuracy, and disclosure of our production, general and administrative expenses. We have not had adequate personnel resources to enable us to properly consider and apply IFRS for all of our transactions and we have not maintained a proper account and procedures manual. These deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Additionally, certain of these control deficiencies amounted to a material weakness.

In response to the identified deficiencies described above, we have dedicated significant resources to improving our internal control environment. We believe that our actions taken during fiscal year 2011, along with other improvements not yet fully implemented, will address the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting described above. These remediation efforts are expected to continue throughout fiscal year 2011 and beyond. During fiscal year 2011, we have concentrated our remediation efforts on those areas that are transaction intensive, such as the recording of net operating revenues, accounts receivable, accounting for cash and expenditures and the accrual of liabilities. These areas required the implementation of primarily manual controls and we have devoted significant resources to documenting and training personnel in the use of such controls. However, there remains a risk that the transitional procedures on which we currently rely will fail to prevent or detect a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements.

In light of the deficiencies described above, additional analyses and other procedures were performed to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures included expanded year-end closing procedures, the dedication of significant internal resources to scrutinize account analyses and reconciliations, and management’s own internal reviews and efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. As a result of these measures, management concluded that the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented in conformity with IFRS.

We intend to continue to review and make changes to the overall design of our internal control environment, including the roles and responsibilities within the organization and reporting structure, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall internal control over financial reporting.

As we continue our remediation activities, we may identify additional internal control deficiencies. As part of this remediation plan, we will begin a more comprehensive review of our internal control environment so as to be ready to comply with Section 404 of SOX for our annual report for fiscal year 2012. We expect this review to include an assessment of the design and effectiveness of our internal control environment under the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission framework, an initiative to improve information technology general controls, and remedial actions needed to address any issues identified in the course of these reviews. This review is expected to continue throughout fiscal year 2011 and thereafter and contemplates the implementation of several planned system enhancements to our accounting, financial reporting and operational infrastructure. We believe that this process will provide consistency in evaluations and verification of the appropriateness and completeness of our remediation activities. We plan to regularly monitor and report on our remediation progress to senior management, our board of directors, and our external auditors and to the market, if additional material weaknesses are identified.

In the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements under IFRS for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, we applied all IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards issued by the IASB effective as at June 30, 2010.

During 2009 and 2010, the IASB published several standards and amendments that, though they were not yet effective for us, have been adopted early by us in our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, as follows:

In addition, during 2009 and 2010, the IASB and IFRIC published several standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards, which were effective for our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, though none of them are expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. See Note 2 to our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the requirements of each standard.

Furthermore, on May 12, 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” and IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement.” These standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013; however, earlier application is permitted. These standards will become effective for us for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. See Note 2 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the requirements of each standard.

Agribusiness can be defined as the economic sector that produces, distributes and sells food products obtained from agricultural operation. We believe that growth in the industry is driven by three main factors:

Expected growth in the world population, combined with a projected improvement in per capita food consumption, especially in emerging markets, is expected to contribute directly to increased global food consumption.

According to the United Nations, the world population is expected to increase from 6.9 billion in 2010 to approximately 8.3 billion in 2030. This projected 20% increase is expected to be largely driven by the expansion of less developed regions, whose share of the global population is expected to reach 85% by 2030, as compared to 78% in 1990, according to the United Nations. Accordingly, we believe that agriculture will assume an even greater role in supplying products to satisfy the demand of a growing population.

In addition to a projected increase in population, the global per capita income of developing countries is expected to increase from the current $4,800 per year to $11,000 per year in 2030, according to the World Bank. Moreover, according to the World Bank, the middle class in these countries, which includes families with an average of four people and a budget between $16,000 and $68,000 per year, is expected to increase from 400.0 million in 2005 to 1.2 billion people in 2030, representing approximately 15% of the total global population. As world per capita income increases, particularly in countries with low per capita income, we expect to see a trend toward increased food consumption, in particular for protein rich products such as meat.

Another trend that is expected to contribute to greater demand for agricultural products is the increasing demand for renewable energy (with bioenergy as one of the main sources), which demand has increased on a per capita basis in recent years according to the IBISWorld Industry Reports. This development is driven by government policies and subsidies for, among other things, biofuel usage, which has resulted in an increasing demand for energy crops such as grains and oilseeds, according to the IBISWorld Industry Reports. According to the IBISWorld Industry Reports, another factor that should influence the use of agricultural products for production of biofuels is the increase in oil prices over the last two years, especially due to the concentration of production in few countries. Any price drop will likely result in a reduction of oil available in the market by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which will try to maintain prices at high levels.

Global oilseed trade consists of numerous commodities that are closely substitutable, and includes soybeans, rapeseed, sunflowerseed, and cottonseed. In addition to the seed, oil and meal obtained from crushing oilseeds

are traded in certain countries. The import demand in a particular country is dependent on the difference between the country’s domestic oilseed output and its consumption. Divergent demand for protein meal and vegetable oil, as well as limits on domestic processing capacity, determines the ratio of oilseeds to oilseed products that a particular country imports. The volume and source of foreign imports depend on seasonal availability and relative prices, credit and delivery terms, local preferences, and quality. The policies of specific countries, such as tariffs and domestic subsidies, also can affect prices and the availability of competing products.

According to the USDA, the most valuable product obtained from processing soybeans is soybean meal, which accounts for 50% to 75% of the value obtained from processing soybeans, depending on relative prices of soybean meal and oil. Soybean meal is the most important protein feed in the world, accounting for more than two-thirds of world feed supplies. Livestock (including poultry) feeds account for 98% of soybean meal consumption, with the remainder used in human foods such as bakery ingredients and meat substitutes, according to the USDA.

Soybean oil generally has a smaller contribution to the value obtained from processing soybeans, as oil constitutes approximately 18% to 19% of a soybean’s weight, according to the USDA. However, soybean oil accounts for 55% to 65% of the total vegetable oil and animal fat consumed in the United States. It is mainly used in salad and cooking oil, bakery shortening and margarine, as well as in a number of industrial applications. According to the USDA, until 2005, soybean oil was the largest source of vegetable oil worldwide. From 2005 onwards, however, palm oil production has exceeded soybean oil production. According to the USDA, palm oil and rapeseed (canola) oil productions are expected to continue to grow over the next few years.

According to the USDA, global production of soybeans increased by a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% between the 2000-2001 and 2009-2010 seasons, reaching a record level of 260.0 million tonnes of production in the 2009-2010 season. During the same time period, global soybean exports (including processed soybean meal and oil) increased by a compound annual growth rate of 5.6%, reaching 157.5 million tonnes in the 2009-2010 season, according to the USDA. The USDA forecasts global production to moderately decline by 3.9 million tonnes from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011, to a production of approximately 256.1 million tonnes, along with an increase in global exports (including processed soybean oil and meal) to 167.7 million tonnes during the same period.

According to the USDA, the United States is the world’s leading wheat exporter. Historically, in most years the United States, Canada, Australia, the EU-27, the former Soviet Union (including three major wheat exporters: Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan), and Argentina together account for about 90% of world wheat exports, according to the USDA.

The diversity of exporting countries provides significant stability to world wheat trade and prices. Most of the world’s wheat production is grown as winter wheat in the Northern Hemisphere, but Canada, Kazakhstan, Russia, and the United States have large spring wheat production, which is planted much later. Moreover, in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and Argentina plant after the Northern Hemisphere’s spring wheat. With wheat being planted and harvested at different times, countries can respond quickly to changing market conditions.

According to the USDA, global production of wheat increased by a compound annual growth rate of 1.8% between the 2000-2001 and 2009-2010 seasons, reaching 682.7 million tonnes in the 2009-2010 season (1.5 million tonnes below the record level reached in 2007-2008). During the same time period, global wheat exports increased by a compound annual growth rate of 3.3% to 135.6 million tonnes. The USDA forecasts global production to decline by 37.2 million tonnes from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011, to a production of approximately 645.4 million tonnes, with a corresponding decline in global exports to 125.3 million tonnes during the same period.

Rice is the primary staple crop for the majority of the world’s population, with Asia and Africa as the largest consuming regions. Consumers in developing countries depend on the versatility and high caloric value of rice. According to the USDA, rice is produced worldwide and is the world’s second- or third-largest staple crop, trailing corn (maize), and global rice production (calculated based on weight prior to milling) is approximately equal to global wheat production. Although rice is produced in many countries, rice fields are limited to certain areas due to the physical requirements for growing rice, such as available water and soil types. Economically viable production typically requires high average temperatures during the growing season, a plentiful supply of water applied in a timely fashion, a smooth land surface to facilitate uniform flooding and drainage, and a subsoil hardpan that inhibits the percolation of water.

According to the USDA, global production of rice (milled basis) increased by a compound annual growth rate of 1.1% between the 2000-2001 and 2009-2010 seasons, reaching 440.9 million tonnes in 2009-2010 (7.2 million tonnes below the record level reached in 2008-2009). During the same time period, global rice exports increased by a compound annual growth rate of 2.8% to 31.0 million tonnes. The USDA forecasts global production to increase by 10.7 million tonnes (milled basis) from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011, to a record production level of approximately 451.7 million tonnes, with a corresponding increase in global exports to 31.1 million tonnes during the same period.

Beef is a rich source of protein and is the third most consumed type of meat in the world, after pork and poultry. According to the USDA, the growth in world per capita meat consumption is expected to slow during the 2011-2020 projection period to less than ²/3% per year. A major part of this consumption is concentrated in Western countries due to the local food habits. Although the USDA forecast for 2011 regarding world beef consumption still indicates a slight 0.1% drop in relation to 2010, a return to growth in subsequent years is expected to be fueled by an increase in global population, economic development and an increase in per capita income (since the per capita consumption of beef is directly related to economic growth). Therefore, it is believed that countries such as China and Brazil will present the highest rates of growth in the consumption of beef, along with other countries in Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

In addition, according to studies performed by the FAO, countries with a higher GDP per capita tend to consume more protein-based products. As a result, consumption of livestock products has increased rapidly in developing countries over the past decades, particularly from the 1980s onward. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook for 2008-2017, global consumption of milk and other dairy products is expected to increase, primarily driven by population and income growth in developing countries. In addition, demand is expected to be stimulated by a range of new products, expansion of cold storage facilities, improved shelf life and product marketing, increasing presence of western retail chains and fast food catering. Consumption of dairy products in the area outside of OECD is expected to increase by approximately 20% to 40% over the next ten years, according to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook for 2008-2017. Growth in consumption of livestock products per capita has markedly outpaced growth in consumption of other major food commodity groups. Since the early 1960s, consumption of milk per capita in developing countries has almost doubled. OECD expects that such growth will continue. The increase in meat consumption should also drive increased demand for grain due to the multiplier effect—production of one kilogram of beef requires at least seven kilograms of grain.

We believe that the supply of agricultural products will grow at a slower pace than demand, primarily as a result of declining arable land per capita, a growing and more affluent global population and an increasing expected demand for renewable fuels. Consequently, we believe that commodity prices over the medium term will average substantially above those that prevailed over the past 10 years. We expect this to reinforce incentives to increase production, and in countries affected by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to

their domestic currencies, to further improve domestic price incentives. We believe that these factors should combine to sustain the growth of global agricultural production, although some of that impetus may be abated by the supply-reducing effect of high oil prices, which raises production costs. Supply-side factors, such as the globalization of supply chains for feed, genetic stock and other technology, are further transforming the structure of this sector. We believe that Latin America, together with other emerging regions, is well positioned to benefit from this growth relative to more developed regions.

The agricultural markets are gradually growing more integrated and a change in long-term demand is thus driven by global demand changes. Currently, there are three major factors contributing to the overall increase in demand for grains and oilseeds:

Uruguay has favorable water usage statistics and uses on average only 2.3% of its renewable water resources annually, according to the CIA World Factbook. The CIA World Factbook places Uruguay’s total annual water withdrawal at 3.15 km³ per year, versus annual renewable water resources of 139 km³.

The southern part of Uruguay lies on top of the Raigón aquifer which is an important source of water for irrigation. As well, the dense network of rivers and creeks in Uruguay provides water for cattle and irrigation. With the proper permits, farmers in Uruguay can build dams on their land to store water for irrigation, or can pump water from rivers and lakes. The permit system ensures that a farmer will have access to water for farming.

Uruguay also sits atop the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest reservoirs of groundwater in the world, which covers 1,190,000 km² (45,000 km² in Uruguay), with a total volume of about 37,000 km³ and a natural recharge of 166 km³ per year, which may be accessed in the future as an alternative source of water.

The table below indicates comparative average land prices per hectare in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and illustrates that average land price per hectare in Uruguay is lower than that in comparable regions. According to GeoNova, land in Uruguay is comparable to land in southern Brazil and the Humid Pampas region of Argentina, based on top-rated soil quality, abundant rainfall, freshwater resources and moderate temperatures relative to other regions in South America.

European Union, the U.S. and Canada, with no single country accounting for a majority of Uruguay’s exports. According to Uruguay XXI, from 2009 to 2010, exports from Uruguay increased 23% and in 2009, agro-industrial exports accounted for 77% of the Uruguay’s total exports.

According to Uruguay XXI, the road network in Uruguay is the most concentrated in Latin America, with 45 km of paved roads per 1,000 km² according to Uruguay XXI. Cargo is transported through Uruguay from the rest of the continent and the flow of international cargo is not restricted at Uruguayan border points according to Uruguay XXI.

Uruguay also has a developed telecommunications network, with 100% digital telecommunications and 98 cellular phone lines per 100 inhabitants as reported by Uruguay XXI.

Uruguay’s territory consists primarily of plains, which, combined with its temperate climate, make the country well-suited for agriculture and livestock. According to the World Bank, this sector of the economy grew between 2005 and 2009 driven by cereal and oil production fueled by high international commodity prices, as well as by milk and cattle production.

Crop production in Uruguay has historically been less important than livestock raising. According to the Library of Congress, only about 8% of Uruguay’s productive land was dedicated to growing crops in the mid-1980s, compared with approximately 75% dedicated to raising livestock. The amount of land under

cultivation has varied according to the world price of livestock products. When beef prices have declined, for example, ranchers have planted wheat or corn. Rising livestock prices in the 1980s resulted in a considerable decrease in the area dedicated to most crops. Because crop production had gradually become more efficient through mechanization, however, crop yields did not necessarily decline. The most common crops contributing to the Uruguay economy are rice, soybeans, and wheat.

According to the DIEA, soybeans have surpassed rice as the most important crop in Uruguay, in terms of tonnes produced. Since the 2002-2003 season, soybean production has grown tenfold, reaching 1,817 tonnes in the 2009-2010 season, placing Uruguay as the 4^th largest soybean producer in Latin America, according to the DIEA. A key driver of this rapid growth has been the introduction of new technologies, allowing the farming of land previously suitable only for cattle-grazing. In addition, many farmers from neighboring Argentina have begun to develop farmland in Uruguay as a result of the unfavorable political situation and high export duties in their home country. According to the DIEA, soybean plantations occupy approximately half of Uruguay’s farming land dedicated to grains (excluding rice), but this percentage continues to grow every year. Furthermore, attractive soil conditions, moderate temperatures and ample water availability allow for double-cropping.

Similar to soybeans, wheat has become an increasingly important crop in Uruguay and has benefited from new technology that allows the conversion of land from cattle-grazing to grain-farming. According to the DIEA, since the 2002-2003 season, wheat production has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 36.8%. In addition, planted area dedicated to wheat farming has grown at a compound annual growth rate of 22.0%, according to the DIEA. Furthermore, attractive soil conditions, moderate temperatures and ample water availability allow for double-cropping.

Although now surpassed by soybeans and wheat as the most important crop in Uruguay, rice has historically been a staple of the Uruguayan agricultural industry according to the DIEA. Farming conditions in Uruguay meet the requirements for rice production, which include high average temperatures during the growing season, a plentiful supply of water applied in a timely fashion, a smooth land surface to facilitate uniform flooding and drainage, and a subsoil hardpan that inhibits the percolation of water. The favorable conditions in Uruguay allow for 100% irrigation according to the INIA and ACA. As a result, according to the DIEA, Uruguay is the largest rice exporter in Latin America and the seventh largest rice exporter in the world, as 95% of the country’s production is marketed for export.

According to FAO, beef production and sheep rearing are the most important agricultural activities in Uruguay, using more than 83% of the country’s productive land. The FAO reports almost 12.0 million heads of livestock in Uruguay. Annual slaughter is greater than 2.0 million heads, according to the FAO, which represents an extraction rate of approximately 17%. Furthermore, Uruguay has one of the highest annual per capita consumptions of beef in the world, according to the USDA.

Uruguayan beef exports increased at a compound annual growth rate of 11.3% between 2001 and 2010, compared with 6.7% and 9.5% in Argentina and Brazil, respectively, according to the USDA. Several factors have enabled Uruguay to become a major player in the global beef trade, including access to key export markets, above-average sanitary conditions, and the ability to react quickly to consumer demand:

Sheep production is also an important economic activity within the agriculture business in Uruguay. There are approximately 8.7 million heads of sheep in Uruguay, mostly located in the northern and eastern part of the country, according to the DIEA.

Dairy farming is an important and established agricultural activity in Uruguay. As estimated by the DIEA, Uruguay’s dairy industry supplied 1,694.0 million liters of milk in 2009, and has supplied on average approximately 1,528.6 million liters per year of milk during the last eight years, of which approximately 1,351.5 million liters are processed industrially. Total milk supply increased at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 4% over the past 8 years. UAG is a member of farmer cooperative CONAPROLE, which processes around two-thirds of all milk produced in Uruguay. CONAPROLE buys all milk produced by its members at an established price in accordance with the international market.

According to the DIEA, the value of Uruguay’s milk product exports grew at a compound annual rate of 16.2% from 2002 to 2009, rising from $126.2 million to $360.4 million. In 2009, 21.3% of Uruguayan dairy products were exported, primarily cheese and milk powder, which accounted for 79.6% of total dairy exports.

Over the past decade, there has been a steady increase in the number of hectares of land in Uruguay developed for the production of blueberries. According to UPEFRUY, Blueberries are the second-largest fruit export in Uruguay, next to citrus fruits, and in 2009 Uruguay exported 1,210 tonnes of blueberries. Exporters from the southern hemisphere export and sell blueberries using an off-season strategy, taking advantage not only of the climate but also of the fact that there are no such fruits available from October through April in the northern hemisphere. Countries such as Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia export blueberries to the northern hemisphere.

Uruguay’s apicultural products are recognized for their quality, the natural environment in which they are produced and the quality of its producers.

Demand for agricultural land is directly related to demand for agricultural products. In addition, there is increasing demand for urban and suburban uses of farmland. The increased demand due to population growth and changing consumption patterns, coupled with the development of agricultural land for urban and industrial purposes, could result in significant upward pressure on farmland prices.

Adding to the importance of the development of arable land is the current deceleration of crop yields relative to population growth. According to The Economist, between 1961 and 1990, wheat yields rose nearly 3% on average per year, compared to an average annual population growth rate of 1.8%. However, between 1990 and 2007, the growth in wheat yields slowed to an average of 0.5% per year while the global population grew at an average of 1.4% per year. Similarly, the growth in rice yields between the two periods decreased by approximately 50%, resulting in two of the most important crops experiencing nearly flat yield growth. Although it is expected that a significant portion of worldwide production will need to come from higher crop yields, the expansion of sown area in regions such as South America and Eastern Europe, where there are substantial available land reserves, is also expected to contribute to increased crop production.

Factors such as increasing demand for crops and decreasing areas of arable land globally are key long-term drivers for agricultural land prices. The supply side is limited since land is a finite resource. Although land is plentiful, fertile arable land that can produce crops profitably is less so. Four main factors contribute to permanent reduction of prime arable land:

In addition to having the world’s highest quality soil FAO ranking, Uruguay offers a very attractive arable land profile with strong potential for growth. Uruguay’s soil resources are well preserved and according to the FAO, 87% of Uruguay’s land area has light or no human-induced degradation, compared with 37% for Argentina, 48% for Brazil and 40% for the U.S. According to the World Soil Resources Report, 70% of Uruguay’s total area is arable, compared with 26% for Argentina, 46% for Brazil and 28% for the U.S. However,

only 9.8% of Uruguay’s arable land was used in 2008 based on arable land data from the FAO and the crops area sown data from the DIEA. Consequently, there is substantial potential in Uruguay for increased usage of land and agriculture production.

Approximately 10 years ago, agricultural activity in Uruguay expanded to lands that were previously considered not usable for agriculture. The expansion of agricultural activity on new land is still taking place in Uruguay and is related to the introduction of new farming technology, such as no-till farming, which does not disturb the soil through tillage. No-till farming practices allow Uruguay to increase its grain production by farming in new areas while maintaining high yields and preserving the soil.

Farmland prices are based on local markets and hence prices differ between countries due to specific country-related factors. Such specific factors may include the fertility of the land, the state of the land due to previous management, current yield levels, current and expected crop prices, availability and cost of financing, agricultural support, geographic proximity to infrastructure such as seaports and railroads, and climatic conditions.

According to the DIEA, the average price at which agricultural land of all sizes and uses, including lands used for the production of crops and cattle grazing, in Uruguay was bought and sold in 2010 was 13% higher than in 2009. This price was based on 2,093 transactions throughout the country for an aggregate size of 336 thousand hectares (average transaction size of 161 hectares). While Uruguay agricultural land prices have increased over the past several years due to, among other things, the expansion of agriculture and the perception of lower political risk, we believe they are still more attractive than those in other agricultural producers such as Argentina, Brazil and the U.S. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industries—Prices for agricultural land in Uruguay have rapidly escalated over the past decade and we have purchased our land at prices far in excess of historical averages. Any significant deterioration in the Uruguayan agricultural real estate market would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”

The table below shows the average prices at which agricultural and cattle-grazing land in Uruguay was sold for the last ten years. The data below represents transactions completed in all departments of Uruguay for land with an area of over 10 hectares.

We are one of the largest corporate agricultural landholders and operators in Uruguay and a leading producer of agricultural products for export to the global market. We have grown rapidly since our formation in 2008 and have fully paid for and acquired approximately 84,670 hectares of agricultural land in Uruguay for our operations. Substantially all of our land is held under promesas, pursuant to which we expect to receive title at a later date. See “—Farmland Overview.” Our diversified agricultural operations include crops (soybeans and wheat), rice, dairy, cattle, sheep and other products (blueberries and honey). By combining our management’s experience and operational knowledge with state-of-the-art agricultural techniques, we have created a hard-to-replicate agricultural production platform in Uruguay.

We are focused on acquiring high-quality agricultural land that we believe is underutilized, developing such land for increased productivity and exploiting it in an efficient and sustainable manner. We have demonstrated our ability to identify attractive land acquisition opportunities by acquiring approximately 84,670 hectares since our formation in 2008, and signed contracts to purchase an additional 7,718 hectares of land, for a total average cost of approximately $3,213 per hectare. As of April 30, 2011, 70,901 hectares of our land, or 83.7% of our total land holdings, was valued at approximately $270.0 million by Deloitte S.C. We purchased this land for a total purchase price of $220.3 million. Based on Deloitte S.C.’s appraisal, as of April 30, 2011 the value of the properties appraised by Deloitte S.C. exceeded the purchase price by more than 20%. The price of agricultural land in Uruguay increased approximately 540% from 2001 to 2010. See “—Land—Price Development.” These land acquisitions have enabled us to rapidly expand our production scale, diversify our product and revenue mix and achieve significant negotiation power in the sale of our products.

promesas. Under a promesa, the seller agrees to transfer legal title to us once the requisite governmental authorization has been obtained. We pay the full purchase price of the land at the time of execution of a promesa and have full rights to use such land, as well as the right to sell, transfer or assign the promesa and the rights to the underlying land to a third-party purchaser. Approximately 99.8% of our land is held under promesas. We recently obtained governmental authorization to obtain title to 17,846 hectares of land we hold under promesas, or 21% of our total land holdings. We have applied for governmental authorization to obtain title with respect to 66,645 hectares of land we hold under promesas, or 78.7% of our total land holdings, and we currently expect to obtain such governmental authorization by June 2012. In addition, as of July 1, 2011, under the laws of Uruguay, we are not entitled to use rural land without first obtaining governmental authorization. Until June 30, 2011, we were permitted to use 64,505 hectares of our land we hold under promesas, or 76.2% of our total land holdings, pursuant to an exemption under the law. On June 22, 2011, we applied for governmental authorization to continue using such land. On June 23, 2011, the executive branch of the Uruguayan government issued a decree confirming that companies that had properly applied to obtain authorization could continue to use the land pending government determination of their applications. We expect to obtain this authorization 30 business days after the date we made the application, although there can be no assurance that the government will not deny the application. A proper application to obtain governmental authorization under the Expedited Process is an application submitted to the Uruguayan Ministry of Fishing, Agriculture and Livestock, or the MFAL, by an entity that has obtained prior authorization to own or use land and has timely requested that such authorization be extended to own or use additional land. We have concluded that we properly applied for governmental authorization and therefore are permitted to continue using the 64,505 hectares of land because the application was submitted by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Boisy S.A., which had previously obtained governmental authorization to use land, and that such application was submitted on June 22, 2011, and therefore it was timely filed. The Uruguayan government will review the application based on three factors: whether the applicant had previously received governmental authorization to use land; whether the land that is the subject of the application can be used for the requested purposes; and whether the application was timely filed. We fully expect that we will be granted the authorization under the Expedited Process based on (1) a certificate issued to us by the MFAL on June 24, 2011, certifying that the Uruguayan government does not have any comments with respect to the application as of the date of such certificate and (2) direct discussions with officials of the MFAL, who have indicated that such authorization is expected to be granted upon the expiration of the 30 business day waiting period. There can be no assurance that the government will not deny the Expedited Process application. If our application for authorization to use the land is denied under the Expedited Process, processing of our application will continue under the standard process, which process generally takes 12 to 16 months from the date of application to complete. However, during such time, we would continue to be able to use the land that is the subject of the standard authorization process. We are currently authorized to use all of our land held under promesas, as the use of all of our land held under promesas has either been authorized by the Uruguayan government or is subject to applications for authorization. Upon the completion of this offering, we intend to submit an application for governmental authorization to obtain title to, and use of, our lands held under promesas under a different provision of the applicable law, namely the Public Company Exception, which we would be permitted to apply for once this offering is completed and our common shares are traded on the NYSE. We fully expect that we will receive such authorizations under the Public Company Exception in due course following completion of this Offering. If, however, the Uruguayan government denies our requests for authorization under the exemptions available to us, or it is determined that the required authorization has not been adequately obtained, we could lose our rights to the use of such land, and any of our subsidiaries that has not obtained such authorization would be required to dissolve and liquidate its assets to our parent company. Although we do not intend to do so, we also have the right at any time to, and could, sell the promesas to a third-party purchaser at market value. See “—Farmland Overview.”

We are also engaged in other non-reportable business segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure. We grow blueberries and engage in apiculture activities. As of March 31, 2011, we had four established blueberry plantations totaling approximately 40 hectares. Our apiculture business generates revenue from the sale of products such as honey, pollen and propolis, and from pollination services provided to third parties. Historically, our beehives were located within our blueberry farms; however, we have recently started to allocate beehives to our properties in the Province of Tacuarembó, which had been historically used for cattle and are currently also used for crop production.

Our business strategy consists of buying high-quality agricultural land that we believe is underutilized at attractive prices, and developing this land to produce primarily grains and meat in a rotational system, alternating different production in each plot in order to develop a sustainable and environmentally-friendly practice. A distinctive feature of Uruguay agricultural properties is that, in a relatively small tract of land, there are typically several types of soil suitable for different types of production, such as cattle or grain. This distinctive feature of Uruguayan soil allows us to diversify operational risks by avoiding focus on only one type of production.

Shallow soil that is not suitable for grain production is used to develop cattle breeding and sheep breeding for wool and meat production, which we refer to as “extensive cattle/sheep productions.” In land where the soil characteristics allow it, we improve the natural pastures on the land by sowing forage to increase the productivity of the pastures. In other land where we cannot sow forage, our cattle and sheep will graze on natural pastures.

We use deep and well-drained soil for soybeans and wheat production integrated in a rotation with cattle breeding on sown pastures, which we refer to as “intensive cattle/sheep productions.” A typical crop rotation would start with soybeans crop followed by wheat. We can harvest two different crops per year in the same plot, which boosts the profitability obtained from these lands. After three consecutive crops in the same plot, pastures are sown and are used for two years for beef production and for pasture seeds harvesting, before a new crop rotation starts over again with recovered soil.

We use deep soil with poor drainage for rice production, which requires soil to be flooded for three months in order for the rice to produce high yields. The typical rice rotation would include two consecutive years under rice production and then four years under beef production on high-quality sown pastures, which allows soil to recover its initial characteristics and permit us to cycle to rice production.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our sales by segment:

Since fiscal year 2009, we have been producing beef products from our cattle. Our first Braford calf, from embryos imported from Australia, was born at our Casco Patricio property in September 2010 and we have since bred our first generation of high genetic value Brafords. We are optimistic about the future of this enterprise, which is anticipated to provide UAG with elite bulls for its own cattle breeding operations, as well as a new product to sell. Cattle birth season also began in our general breeding herds of La Verónica and our recently acquired farm, Itacabó. This produces an increase in activity at those farms where pregnant cows are close to giving birth.

We acquired approximately 37,270 hectares of grazing land located in Tacuarembó, Salto, Paysandú and Maldonado. As of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively, we owned approximately 12,071 and 32,027 head of cattle — other than our cows used for the production of raw dairy — which we fattened for sale to meat processors and in local livestock auction markets and for calving.

Cattle products generated $0.1 million in sales, or 74.6% of our total sales, in fiscal year 2009, $0.4 million in sales, or 22.3% of our total sales, in fiscal year 2010 and $2.7 million in sales, or 43.3% of our total sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. We did not derive any revenues from sales of cattle products in fiscal year 2008.

The following table indicates, as of the periods indicated, the number of cattle (other than dairy cows) we owned:

Our cattle meat products are currently exported by third parties to Russia, the EU, the United States, Mexico, Canada, Israel, Venezuela and China. Our live cattle products are currently exported by third parties to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Brazil.

In October 2010, we completed the implementation of a mandatory program of the Uruguayan Ministry of Agriculture, or the UMA, to individually identify cattle. This program requires the individual identification of all cattle by using tags with an electronic chip. This system will permit the tracing of every single head of cattle in Uruguay from the final product back to the animal’s birth through an Internet-based database. This traceability system is unique in South America and is expected to result in Uruguay becoming the first country in the world to have 100% of its cattle herd individually identified. We believe that this will be a key factor in differentiating Uruguayan beef in the international market and will allow Uruguayan beef to reach higher price levels.

We began production of sheep products in fiscal year 2009. We have two main objectives in our sheep production:

Over 80% of our sheep population is of the Australian Merino breed. We have chosen to grow the Australian Merino because of its potential to produce fine wool and also because its wool is in high demand and higher value in the international market. We breed sheep not only for their fine wool but also for their extremely valuable meat in the international markets. Recently, Uruguay has obtained permission to access the United States market with its lamb meat.

We have acquired approximately 7,737 hectares of grazing land located in Salto and Paysandú for our sheep. As of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively, we owned approximately 6,941 and 14,503 head of sheep.

The following table indicates, as of the periods indicated, the number of head of sheep we owned:

Sales of our live sheep generated $23,338, or 11.7% of our total sales, in fiscal year 2009. We did not derive any revenues from sales of live sheep products in fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2010. Sales of our live sheep generated $196,698, or 3.2% of our total sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Our live sheep products are currently exported by a third party to Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Brazil.

Sales of our wool products generated $83,864, or 5.3% of our total sales in fiscal year 2010, and generated $99,518, or 1.6% of our total sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. We did not derive any revenues from sales of wool products in fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2009. Our wool products are currently exported by a third party to China, Italy and Germany.

We did not derive any revenues from sales of lamb meat products in fiscal year 2008, fiscal year 2009, fiscal year 2010 or the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Our crop production began in fiscal year 2010 and consists of soybeans and wheat, which we grow on a total area of approximately 4,511 hectares as of March 31, 2011. Uruguay has rich soil that is suitable for crop production. The crop produced depends on the soil selected. Climate in Uruguay is very mild and there are four defined seasons. Winter is sufficiently cold to ensure good wheat and barley production and summer crops can be developed without irrigation. One of the distinctive characteristics of farming in Uruguay is the ability to double-

crop each year and crop rotation is very common. Crops involved in each rotation are variable and depend on seasonal behavior and relative prices. A common rotation involves wheat in winter and soybeans in summer.

Variable percentages of the total production of each crop are exported to different countries each year. Our crops are currently exported by third parties to Brazil, China, Peru, the United Kingdom and Holland.

The western part of Uruguay, located next to the Uruguay River, is the most important area for our soybean production. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 3.5% of our land was allocated to soybean production.

In the 2010 harvest year, we planted a total area of 1,163 hectares of soybeans, producing a total of 1,588 tonnes representing 20.2% of our total crop production.

In the 2010 harvest year, we planted a total area of approximately 2,088 hectares of wheat, producing a total of 6,220 tonnes of wheat representing 79.8% of our total crop production.

We recognized $9,617 of sales in our crops segment, or 0.6% of our total sales, in fiscal year 2010 due solely to consideration we received in exchange for a crops harvest service rendered. We did not sell any crops in fiscal year 2008, fiscal year 2009 or fiscal year 2010. Crops generated $2,143,597 in sales, or 34.5% of our total sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

We began our rice production in fiscal year 2010. The eastern states of Uruguay bordering Brazil have deep soil with high clay concentration and abundant water for irrigation, and we have dedicated this area to rice production. The entirety of our rice production is under irrigation and more than 95% of the rice harvested in Uruguay is exported. Our rice is currently exported by third parties to Brazil, Iran, Peru, Iraq, the United States, Turkey and Spain. Rice sowing begins in mid-October when soil moisture and temperature reach the optimum conditions for machines to operate and for the seeds to germinate adequately.

In the 2010 harvest year, we planted a total area of 664 hectares of rice, producing a total of 4,664 tonnes of rice.

Rice generated $1,123,383 in sales, or 71.1% of our total sales in fiscal year 2010, and $866,763 in sales, or 14.0% of our total sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. We did not derive any revenues from sales of rice in fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2009.

We also produce dairy products from our cattle. In August 2010, UAG’s first dairy farm successfully started its dairy production after a new milking shed with a capacity of 500 cows was built at our Yaguarí property.

As of June 30, 2010, we owned a dairy herd of 568 head, and we started milking an average of 140 cows and heifers in August 2010. Our dairy operations consist of one dairy facility. In an increasingly competitive global market, we believe that factors such as grass-feeding and high quality control standards will increase demand for our dairy products.

The following table sets forth, as of the dates indicated, the total number of our dairy cows and bulls:

Dairy products generated $116,203 in sales, or 1.9% of our total sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. We did not derive any revenues from sales of dairy products in fiscal year 2008, fiscal year 2009 or fiscal year 2010.

We began exporting our dairy products through third parties to Venezuela, Brazil and Mexico during fiscal year 2011.

As of March 31, 2011, UAG had four established blueberry plantations totaling approximately 40 hectares. We allow the fruit to be well-ripened before being picked. The fruits are hand-harvested and placed in specialized containers, or wencos. The production process is labor intensive, with a preparatory phase in September followed by the harvest months given that a higher number of employees need to be in the fields during harvest. The wencos are weighed and immediately cooled and remain cooled until the product reaches the consumer and are put together in pallets which are sent to a packaging plant to be classified. Finally, they are exported and sold to the consumer.

UAG has entered into an agreement for a strategic alliance with blueberry exporter Tecnovital S.A. whose main shareholder is Vitalberry Marketing Chile. Through this strategic alliance, UAG seeks to optimize the quality, logistics and distribution aspects of the blueberry export process.

In the 2008 harvest year, we planted a total area of approximately 40 hectares of blueberries, producing a total of 20.7 tonnes of blueberries, which were harvested in October and November 2008. In the 2009 harvest year, we planted a total area of approximately 40 hectares of blueberries, but were unable to produce blueberries due to a significant winter storm that damaged our blueberry bushes. In the 2010 harvest year, we planted a total area of approximately 40 hectares of blueberries, producing a total of 37 tonnes of blueberries.

Blueberries generated $23,464, or 11.8% of our total sales in fiscal year 2009, which were derived from the production obtained during the 2008 harvest year, and generated $82,164, or 1.3% of our total sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. We did not derive any revenues from sales of blueberries in fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2010.

Our blueberries are currently exported by third parties to Germany, Holland, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the United States and Canada.

Apiculture generates revenue from the sale of honey. We strive to accomplish the highest quality standards in honey, propolis and pollen production.

We provide nutritional supplementation to our beehives in order to boost their growth and pollination capacity. Historically, our beehives were located within our blueberry properties. We have started to allocate beehives to our properties in the Province of Tacuarembó. Beehives that have been installed at Villa Lucero and Yaguarí are undergoing their development process and we expect that they will continue to grow.

Our apiculture products generated $3,905 of sales, or 2.0% of our total sales, in fiscal year 2009, $11,808 of sales, or 0.7% of our total sales, in fiscal year 2010 and $8,514 of sales, or 0.1% of our total sales, in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. We did not derive any revenues from sales of apiculture products in fiscal year 2008.

Our apiculture products are currently exported by third parties to Germany, Holland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We sell our agricultural products at the farms where the products are grown. Transportation of the products may be arranged either by our customers or by us; however, our customers bear the risk of loss during transportation.

In Uruguay, local prices are based on export parity pricing (or net proceeds per unit from export sales) during harvest, and import parity pricing (or the opportunity cost of a unit of an imported substitute good) for post-harvest sales, which, in each case, takes into account market prices and costs. Prices are quoted in relation to the month of delivery and the port to which the product will be delivered. Special conditions that affect pricing, such as the terms of storage and shipment, are negotiated with the end buyer. We negotiate sales with leading traders and industrial companies in our markets. Local prices are based on international prices and generally reflect a discount to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange price.

We store our soybeans and wheat in storage plants near the growing fields. Once harvested, the soybeans and wheat remain in storage until we believe that market conditions are appropriate for sale. We may also use brokers to purchase our production and enter into agreements with buyers. We typically contract to receive payment within one week after the sale.

Our soybeans and wheat are currently exported by third parties to international markets, including Brazil, China, Peru, Holland and the United Kingdom.

We have an agreement with SAMAN, the leading rice exporter in Uruguay, which is negotiated on an annual basis. Pursuant to that agreement, we sell our entire rice production to SAMAN at a stipulated price, which reflects a negotiated price between the industry and the local association of rice growers, Asociación Cultivadores de Arroz, taking into account the export price of rice from Uruguay to international markets as a primary reference.

Our rice products are currently exported by third parties to international markets, including Brazil, Iran, Peru, Iraq, the United Kingdom, Turkey and Spain. The most important destination for our rice exports is Brazil.

We are a member of and sell our dairy products exclusively to CONAPROLE, the leading dairy cooperative, a major dairy exporter and a price reference company in Uruguay. Through our membership in the

cooperative, we have the right to sell our milk production to CONAPROLE at an established price in accordance with the international market. In exchange for such right, we have the obligation to deliver all of our milk production to the cooperative and to pay the cooperative’s fee.

We sell part of our cattle directly to local slaughterhouses. We have an agreement with Frigorífico Tacuarembó, one of the leading slaughterhouse companies in Uruguay, to buy our products with reference to the price provided by Instituto Nacional de Carnes, or INAC, which promotes and regulates the export of cattle and beef products in Uruguay, and is based on international prices. Our beef products are currently exported by third parties to Russia, the EU, the United States, Mexico, Canada, Israel, Venezuela and China.

We also sell live cattle for export by third parties to certain markets, including Brazil, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt. Generally, the live cattle we sell weigh less than the cattle destined for local slaughterhouses, but are sold at a higher price per measure of weight.

We are a member of CLU, and sell all of the wool produced on our farms to CLU. We believe that our agreement provides us with better prices for the higher quality wool, particularly at the peak of the season. Through our membership in the cooperative, we have the right to sell all of our wool production to CLU at an average price based on international prices, which is different for each category of wool. We believe selling at average prices protects us against the high volatility of wool prices. In exchange for such right, we have the obligation to deliver all of our wool production to the cooperative and to pay the cooperative’s fee.

We typically sell heavy lamb for meat at the best available market price, either by entering into a sales program with CLU, or by selling to local slaughterhouses at the best available price.

Blueberries: We sell fresh blueberries to brokers who in turn sell the product primarily to European markets. We negotiate terms and prices with individual fruit exporters. Our blueberry fields are GlobalG.A.P. certified, a prerequisite for exporting blueberry products. Typically, our last blueberry shipment takes place at the end of the year, and we generally receive payments for our products within 60 days of their shipment.

Apiculture: Honey is the only apiculture product that we sell. We negotiate prices with local exporters based on international import parity prices. Honey may be stored for relatively long periods of time, during which we seek to negotiate favorable pricing for the product.

We have acquired approximately 84,670 hectares of agricultural land in Uruguay for our operations.

We have executed purchase promise agreements, or promesas, instead of definitive purchases, or compraventas definitivas, which grant legal title to the land, to acquire our rural land in Uruguay. We have fully paid for all of our farmlands acquired under promesas. A promesa is completed, and legal title is transferred, when we execute a final purchase agreement, or escritura, which is legally equivalent to a compraventa definitiva.

Under Uruguayan law, only individuals and companies having registered shares held by individuals can be owners of rural real estate and land operations in Uruguay. Because we acquire land through our subsidiaries whose shareholders are not individuals, we are prevented from executing any compraventa definitiva or using the land without obtaining prior governmental authorization. See “Regulatory and Environmental Overview–Sale and Ownership of Real Estate” and “Regulatory and Environmental Overview–Rural Real Estate” for more details.

We have requested several authorizations to obtain title based on the Productive Project Exception.

In 2008, we applied for governmental authorizations based on the Productive Project Exception to own the 188 hectares of land acquired by our subsidiaries Boisy S.A., Vadolmar S.A., Madalux S.A. and Nogatir S.A, or the First Productive Project. We obtained governmental authorizations in December 2009 and we have executed escrituras to own the land in the First Productive Project.

In October 2009, we applied for, and as of May 5, 2011 have received, governmental authorizations based on the Productive Project Exception to obtain title to the 17,846 hectares of land held under promesas acquired by our subsidiaries Rafilur S.A., Aguacare S.A., Canteras Doradas S.A. and UAG S.A., or the Second Productive Project.

In March 2011, we applied for governmental authorizations to obtain title based on the Productive Project Exception with respect to 51,081 hectares of land acquired by our subsidiaries Alto Lucero S.A., UAG S.A., Madalux S.A. and Rafilur S.A., or the Third Productive Project. In May and June of 2011, we applied to increase the hectares under the Third Productive Project to 66,645 hectares. The authorization for the Third Productive Project is currently pending and there is no fixed timing for the government to grant such authorization. We expect the process to take approximately 12 to 16 months from initial application.

Most of our subsidiaries that hold land under promesas are not using the land themselves. Instead, until June 22, 2011, the land underlying such promesas was being used by UAG S.A., another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, pursuant to intercompany agreements under Uruguayan law known as “comodatos,” between each of our subsidiaries holding land under promesas and UAG S.A. On June 22, 2011, the comodatos with UAG S.A. were terminated and new comodatos were entered into between each of our subsidiaries holding land under promesas and Boisy S.A., another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. See “—Material Agreements—Comodatos.” We entered into these new comodatos because Boisy S.A. had already received authorization to use land in the past and, in accordance with Decrees Nos. 225/07 and 201/08, we believe it should be able to obtain governmental authorization to use such lands under the Expedited Process, as described below.

As a result of our intercompany transactions wherein our subsidiaries holding land under promesas have granted the right to use such land to other of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we are in compliance with all applicable law. Consequently, there are no limitations on our use of lands for which governmental authorizations have not yet been granted, and accordingly, we do not expect that any substantive economic benefits will accrue to us upon obtaining legal title to such lands.

We believe that our business project contributes to the productivity of Uruguay, the creation of jobs, production of exportable commodities, incorporation of technology and other beneficial aspects, which are all factors in the determination of a Productive Project Exception. We believe that because of past precedents and the merits of our projects, we will obtain a Productive Project Exception for the Third Productive Project. After we have received such authorization, we will proceed with the execution of the escritura to obtain title to such land.

In some cases, an escritura can be executed immediately after receipt of governmental authorization. In other cases it can only be executed after obtaining a tax certificate. In some cases, we have the seller’s power of attorney to execute an escritura on the seller’s behalf. In other cases we require the seller to execute an escritura. If the seller does not execute the escritura when requested, the escritura will be executed judicially. The entire process should take no longer than seven months.

We are still in the process of acquiring additional rural land. Any rural land that we acquire in the future will require governmental authorization in order for us to execute a compraventa definitiva and to use such land. Any acquisitions of rural land by our subsidiaries that have already obtained governmental authorization will be able to apply for authorizations under the Expedited Process in case the acquired land is used for the purposes of the First Productive Project (blueberry plantations) or the Second Productive Project (crops, cattle, sheep, rice, dairy). The expiration of the Compliance Period on June 30, 2011 does not have an impact on our ability to acquire additional land under promesas. Should we wish to, we will be able to continue acquiring land under promesas. However, as a result of the expiration of the Compliance Period, we will be required to obtain authorization to use land held under promesas before we may use such land. We expect that, in the future, prior to acquiring land under a promesa or under a compraventa definitiva, we will, as a condition to entering into any such promesa or compraventa definitiva, obtain governmental authorization under the expedited process to permit us to obtain title to, and use of, such land. In addition, because after the completion of this offering our common shares will be listed on the NYSE, we will be able to apply for authorization based on the Public Company Exception. Upon the completion of this offering, we intend to submit an application for governmental authorization to obtain title to, and use of, our lands held under promesas under the Public Company Exception. We fully expect that we will receive such authorizations within 12 to 16 months following our application.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industries—If we do not obtain governmental authorizations with respect to all of our lands, we could lose the rights to the use and the economic benefits of such lands” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industries—Our title to our farmland may have defects or may not be valid” for risks associated with our farmland.

Our farmland is not subject to any liens or other encumbrances, other than such encumbrances that arise in the ordinary course of business or by operation of law.

In April 2011, in order to assess the market value of rural properties in Uruguay, we retained Deloitte S.C., an independent real estate valuation firm knowledgeable about the agriculture industry and the local real estate market, to conduct an appraisal of our land portfolio. We have acquired 15,513 hectares of land since we retained Deloitte S.C., of which 13,539 were not subject to appraisal. As part of these appraisals, the value of approximately 85% of our properties was determined using the sales comparison approach and the income approach. The sales comparison approach analyzes the prices that buyers have recently paid for properties comparable to a subject property, adjusted for the differences between such comparable properties and the subject property, in order to arrive at an estimate of the value of the subject property. The income approach takes into account the net present value of estimated rental income that could be generated from each property.

The above mentioned appraisals assumed that we had the ability to sell or lease our rights to the subject properties free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. The appraisals do not take into account the impact of taxes. The appraisals are done on a property-by-property basis and assume that the sale or lease of any property could be accomplished in an orderly manner. Neither the sales comparison approach nor the income approach takes into account the need to sell or lease multiple properties, or that any sale or lease may need to be completed on an expedited basis, either of which circumstances could have an adverse impact on the prices that could be realized. The appraisals did not include site measurements and no surveys of the subject properties were undertaken. In addition, the valuations also assumed (a) responsible ownership and competent management of the subject properties, (b) that there were no hidden or unapparent conditions of the subject properties, subsoil or structures that would render the subject properties more or less valuable, (c) full compliance with all applicable zoning and environmental regulations and laws and (d) that all required licenses, certificates of occupancy and

other governmental consents were or can be obtained and renewed for any use on which the value opinion contained in the appraisals is based. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisals, the existence of potentially hazardous or toxic materials that may have been used in the construction or maintenance of the improvements or may be located at or about the subject properties was not considered in arriving at the opinion of value. Such materials (such as formaldehyde foam insulation, asbestos insulation and other potentially hazardous materials) could adversely affect the value of the subject properties.

These appraisals were intended to provide an indicative approximation of the market value of our land holdings as of April 30, 2011. The information contained in the appraisals is subject to change based on a host of variables and market conditions. Therefore, the appraisals are provided solely to better enable an evaluation of the market value of our land portfolio and are not intended to provide an indication of the sale price of such properties. The table below sets forth, among other things, the result of the above mentioned appraisals:

We decide the appropriate product mix for each of our fields by analyzing agricultural properties of the soil, weather conditions of the region and expected returns of each product, with a view to maximizing profitability.

Our farmland is operated by an experienced management team. We plan to continue improving returns of our business through efficient and profitable operations, leveraging important economies of scale. With the acquisition of further properties, we expect to achieve larger economies of scale in addition to more efficient administration of our operations. For this purpose, one of our priorities is to maintain our position as a top farmland holder in Uruguay.

The following sets forth land acquisitions for which we have signed contracts (boletos de reserva) to purchase and which we expect to complete with cash on hand.

In addition to managing farmland that we acquired, we plan to increase the returns of our business by operating leased farmland, located adjacent to our existing lands. We expect to achieve higher returns by leveraging from existing equipment and infrastructure, with minimum additional investments.

We plan to opportunistically lease farmland located in close proximity to our existing operations and plan to dedicate such farmland mainly to the production of soybeans and wheat, through a double cropping system.

For additional information regarding our property, plant and equipment and land under promesas, see notes 5, 7 and 8 of our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes 4, 6 and 7 to our Audited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

We were originally incorporated as Weitvil Holdings Inc. on January 2, 2008 in BVI under the BVI Business Companies Act as a company limited by shares. On June 9, 2008, we changed our name under the BVI Business Companies Act to Union Agriculture Group Corp. Our registered office is at Vanterpool Plaza, 2nd floor, Wickhams Cay I, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Our principal executive office is at Plaza Independencia 737 – 11000, Montevideo, Uruguay, +598 2900-0000.

Our main activity is acquiring and developing agricultural land in Uruguay and engaging in agricultural, livestock, dairy, blueberry and apiculture operations. We and our subsidiaries have the common objective of investing in and operating in the agriculture business. Our subsidiaries are composed of landholding entities and operational companies that effectively utilize our farmlands.

As of March 31, 2011, UAG has the following subsidiaries, all of which are 100% directly owned by UAG:

We were formed in January 2008 to acquire and develop agricultural land in Uruguay. Through a series of corporate transactions, UAG held 188 hectares of land at the end of fiscal year 2008.

In fiscal year 2009, we acquired two additional properties totaling 8,163 hectares of farmland at a total purchase price of $15.3 million. These properties were suitable for cattle and sheep production.

In fiscal year 2010, we acquired an additional 25,935 hectares of farmland at a total purchase price of $89.9 million, giving us a total of 34,286 hectares of land acquired. The significant increase in the average price per hectare we paid for farmland purchased in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 was primarily due to differences in the type of farmland we purchased. Substantially all of the farmland we purchased in fiscal year 2009 is suitable only for cattle grazing, whereas substantially all of the farmland we purchased in fiscal year 2010 is suitable for both crop production and cattle grazing. Farmland that is suitable for both crop production and cattle grazing generally sells at a substantial premium to farmland suitable only for cattle grazing. Consequently, the average price per hectare we paid in fiscal year 2010 was higher than the price paid in fiscal year 2009.

In the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we acquired an additional 34,829 hectares of farmland held under promesas at a total purchase price of $108.8 million, giving us a total of 69,115 hectares of land acquired.

As of the date of this prospectus, we had acquired approximately 84,670 hectares of farmland since our formation 2008.

We have raised capital through four private placements. In July 2008, we issued 8,095,201 common shares, at Cdn$8.40 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $63.2 million. Each of the common shares that were issued in July 2008 had a right attached entitling the holder to receive one-tenth of one common share for each common share held in the event that we did not complete an initial public offering or a reverse take-over transaction which resulted in our common shares being listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange before July 22, 2009. In June 2009, we issued 2,635,528 common shares, at $8.40 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $20.5 million. In July 2009, we issued 809,519 common shares, for no additional consideration, pursuant to an automatic conversion of the rights issued in July 2008. In September 2009, we issued 3,653 common shares, at $8.40 per share, upon the exercise of pre-emptive rights, for aggregate net proceeds of $30,683. In March 2010, we issued 11,217,616 common shares, at $10.20 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $107.9 million and 41,667 common shares upon the exercise of stock options having an exercise price of $6.00 per share for aggregate net proceeds of $0.3 million. In May 2010 we issued 98,040 common shares, at $10.20 per share, upon the exercise of pre-emptive rights, for aggregate net proceeds of $1.0 million. In July 2010, we issued 281,249 common shares upon the exercise of broker compensation options having an exercise price of $8.40 per share for aggregate net proceeds of $2.3 million. In December 2010 and January 2011, collectively, we issued 12,390,510 common shares, at $13.20 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $155.0 million. In February 2011, we issued

114,028 common shares, at $13.20 per share, upon the exercise of pre-emptive rights for aggregate net proceeds of $1.5 million. In addition, we granted broker compensation options to certain agents participating in these private placements. We issued 374,999 broker compensation options having an exercise price of Cdn$8.40 per share in July 2008, 131,777 broker compensation options having an exercise price of $8.40 in June 2009 and 560,792 broker compensation options having an exercise price of $10.20 per share in March 2010. Such options vested immediately on the grant date and are exercisable over a two-year period. In April 2011, we issued 117,317 common shares, at $8.40 per share, upon the exercise of stock options for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million, and we issued 18,693 common shares, at $8.40 per share, upon the exercise of broker compensation options for an aggregate purchase price of $0.2 million. In June 2011, we issued 93,136 common shares, at $8.40 per share, upon the exercise of broker compensation options for an aggregate purchase price of $0.8 million.

On June 12, 2011, we established the Union Agriculture Group Corp. Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares of our company. See “Management—Union Agriculture Group Corp. Equity Incentive Plan.”

From our inception through June 30, 2008, our operations consisted primarily of less than 200 hectares of undeveloped blueberry plantations. Our commercial activity during that period was minimal with no sales recorded. During fiscal year 2009, we diversified our business to include cattle and sheep operations as well as added colonies of bees for the production of honey. During fiscal year 2010, we added crops and rice to our production, and purchased dairy cattle that commenced production in August 2010.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, we entered into short-term operating leases of Arroyo Blanco and Merín farmlands in connection with, and to facilitate, the sale of such lands to us. In each case, we granted a short-term lease to the selling party because such parties expressly required, as a condition of sale, the right to operate the land until such time as it could harvest crops that had already been cultivated. As of March 31, 2011, land leased to third parties represented approximately 8.7% of our total land. The lease with respect to Arroyo Blanco was terminated in May 2011 and the lease with respect to Merín was terminated in June 2011. As of March 31, 2011, farmlands under these leases were classified as “Investment property under Promesas” in the statement of financial position.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, our sales amounted to $6.2 million. Cattle sales to our largest cattle customer, Frigorífico Tacuarembó, represented 39.4% of our cattle sales and 17.1% of our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Sheep sales to our largest sheep products customer, CLU, represented 33.6% of our sheep sales and 1.6% of our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Crop sales to our largest crops customer represented 65.0% of our crop sales and 22.4% of our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Rice sales to our largest rice product customer, SAMAN, represented all of our net rice sales and 14.0% of our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Dairy products sales to our largest dairy customer, CONAPROLE, represented all of our dairy sales and 1.9% of our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Other sales to our largest customer in “All Other Segments” represented 81.7% of our “Other Products” sales and 1.3% of our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Sales to our six largest customers represented 58.3% of our sales in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Of these customers, our largest customer represented 22.4% of our sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, and the remaining five customers, in the aggregate, represented 35.8% of our net sales in that period. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industries—We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a few key customers and the loss or non-performance of such customers could adversely affect us.”

Although we are one of Uruguay’s leading agricultural producers, due to the highly fragmented nature of the farming sector, our overall market share with respect to some of the products we produce is insubstantial. Our

production volume, however, improves our ability to negotiate favorable terms with our customers. Although competition in agriculture varies considerably by product and sector, in general, there are a large number of producers, and each one of them controls only a small portion of the total production. Therefore individual producers often have little influence on the market and have a minimal effect on market prices as a result of their individual strategies, explaining why producers are price takers and not price makers. In many cases, the price is established in international market exchanges. Because the majority of agricultural products are commodities, which stifles product differentiation, the principal competition factors are cost of production and volume efficiency gains.

With respect to farmland, we are not aware of a significant number of companies that have been actively competing to acquire farmland in Uruguay on a large scale in the last 10 years. However, we believe that new companies, some of them international, may become active players in the acquisition of farmland and the leasing of sown land, which would add competitors to the market in coming years.

Our total expenditures for consumable supplies, including but not limited to fertilizers, agrochemicals, herbicides, feed and seeds, and fuel and lubricants represented 37.6% of our total cost of production for the fiscal year 2010 and 48.1% of our total cost of production for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Our total expenditures for consumable supplies (including but not limited to fertilizers, agrochemicals, herbicides, feed and seeds), and fuel and lubricants represented the following percentages of our total cost of production for the periods indicated:

We have a network of suppliers for each of our business segments and for each required input within each segment, resulting in lower reliance on any particular supplier and availability of materials. Our ten largest suppliers accounted for 36.0% of our total expenditures for supplies in fiscal year 2010 and 77.4% of our total expenditures for supplies in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. While we value the relationships we have developed with each of our suppliers given the quality we have come to expect, we do not consider any single supplier to be key to our production.

Since our formation, we have experienced fluctuations in our production costs primarily due to price fluctuation of raw materials. A portion of our cost structure includes the cost of raw materials, primarily seeds, fertilizers and agrochemicals. The raw materials that we use in our business have been subject to supply shortages and price volatility in the past and we could experience supply shortages and price volatility in the future. The supply of herbicides has also experienced shortages in the past as a result of a global shortage of certain active ingredients, which has led to higher prices. Recently, the price of fertilizer has also increased due to a rise in agricultural production to meet the demands of a growing population. Prices of fertilizer and other agricultural inputs have also experienced upward pressures since they are used as inputs in the production of bioethanol and biodiesel. Furthermore, the price and supply of diesel has experienced volatility due to the increasing demand and political uncertainty in diesel-producing regions. For instance, prices of crude oil futures were sharply increasing in early 2011, due to the probable risk of diesel shortages stemming from the collapse of Libyan production.

We have been able to obtain lower prices particularly due to the volume that derives from our large-scale operations.

As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our financial results from one quarter to another. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effect of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs on the determination of changes in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.

The following table shows the production process for each of our main products, reflecting the periods in which each stage of production occurs:

Our subsidiary, Union Agriculture Group S.A., or UAG S.A., has an agreement with SAMAN, dated as of November 24, 2009, as subsequently amended, under which SAMAN will pay to UAG S.A. an annual fixed payment of $40,000 during the first year of the agreement and $75,000 for the second and third years plus a variable payment of $5 for every ton of rice milled, in exchange for the use of general rice warehousing facilities at our Paso Manzagano Plant. The fixed payment is adjusted 12.5% at the inception of every subsequent three-year period. Additionally, UAG S.A. agreed to sell all of its production of rice to SAMAN for the duration of the agreement. The agreement has a term of three years, which term is automatically renewable unless terminated. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon one year notice.

Pursuant to the agreement, SAMAN agreed to make investments to improve and expand the leased facilities. Both parties agreed that the SAMAN investments have an estimated useful life of 10 years and intend to maintain the lease agreement until the end of such period. If the agreement is terminated prior to the end of such period, UAG S.A. will be responsible for paying an amount equivalent to the unamortized amount of the SAMAN investments as of the date of termination. Investments made by SAMAN in storage silos pursuant to the agreement have been fully funded for a total of $866,086. Upon termination of the agreement at the tenth year (when the investments will reach the end of their useful lives), we will receive the investments made by SAMAN at no cost, and we will therefore not recognize such investments as assets in our consolidated financial statements.

Effective from December 7, 2010, we had a lease agreement with SAMAN, under which SAMAN agreed to lease approximately 3,000 hectares of farmland from us and pay us an annual cash amount equivalent to 16 “bags” of rice (each bag being approximately 50 kg) for each hectare planted. The cash price for each “bag” was determined by reference to the prices published by the “Asociación de Cultivadores de Arroz” and the “Gremial de Molinos Arroceros.” We agreed to maintain the necessary irrigation equipment to support 2,500 hectares of rice and to pay half of the cost of the irrigation system. Under the lease agreement, SAMAN agreed to plant no less than 2,000 and no more than 3,000 hectares of the land annually, and to rotate crops as eventually agreed upon by both parties. The lease was required as a condition to the sale of the land by SAMAN to us, because SAMAN had already invested in cultivating crops on the land and wanted to maintain its right to use the land until such crops could be harvested. The lease provided that SAMAN would invest in improving the land during the term of such lease. Under the terms of the lease, if the lease were terminated before the expiration date, we would be required to pay the outstanding amortized balance of such improvements. The lease was terminated on June 15, 2011. As a result, we are required to pay $480,386 to SAMAN under the lease, which amount has not yet been paid.

On June 14, 2011, our subsidiary, UAG S.A., entered into a $10.0 million line of credit with Banco Itaú Uruguay S.A., or the line of credit. The line of credit bears a fixed interest rate of 4.50% per annum and matures on October 31, 2011. Under the terms of the line of credit, UAG S.A. has agreed not to pledge or sell any of its assets, consisting of 19,038 hectares of land held under promesas (Merín, La Beba, Colonia Palma, Melo and part of Yaguarí), which had a book value of $66.9 million as of March 31, 2011. Under the terms of the line of credit, UAG S.A. has also agreed that it and our other subsidiaries will not incur indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $15.0 million, in each case without the lender’s consent. We intend to use any borrowings under our line of credit for working capital, general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

In order to comply with Law No. 18,092, most of our subsidiaries that hold land under promesas do not use the land themselves but have transferred the right to use the land to another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. These transfers are effected pursuant to intercompany agreements under Uruguayan law known as “comodatos.” A comodato allows the promissory buyer of land under a promesa (the “transferor”) to transfer the right to use such land to another person (the “transferee”) so that the transferee may use such land. Under Uruguayan law, neither the transfer of such land by the transferor to the transferee, nor the use of such land by the transferee, is considered to be use of the land by the transferor, even where the two parties are affiliated. The term of the comodatos is generally for a set period, which period is automatically extended for successive 12 month periods unless one party notifies the other that it wishes to terminate the agreement; provided that the transferor always reserves the right to cancel the comodato. Under the comodato, the transferee is responsible for all obligations with respect to the land and must return the land to the transferor in its current condition and any improvements the transferee has made to the land are for the benefit of the transferor.

We had 229 full-time employees as at March 31, 2011, 148 full-time employees as at June 30, 2010, 100 full-time employees as at June 30, 2009 and 32 full-time employees as at June 30, 2008; and an average of 33 temporary employees for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. None of our employees are unionized. We are in material compliance with all applicable labor laws.

The following table sets forth our number of employees as at March 31, 2011, by our business segments:

We are in the process of registering two trademarks with Uruguay’s Dirección Nacional de Propiedad Industrial: “UAG” and “Union Agriculture Group.” Both trademarks are being registered along with their logos for the purposes of agriculture products and services. In addition, we own one livestock mark that is registered with Uruguay’s Dirección de Control de Semovientes, or DICOSE.

In Uruguay, we are required to renew our trademark registrations when they expire at the end of their respective terms. Under the Uruguay Trademark Act 17.011, the duration of term for a registered trademark is 10 years from its issue date, and a trademark may be indefinitely renewed for equal periods thereafter.

We carry insurance policies with leading U.S., European, and local insurance companies, and we are currently insured against a variety of risks, including losses and damages relating to our plants, equipment and buildings. We believe our level of insurance coverage is customary and appropriate for a company of our size and with respect to our activities. Our insurance currently covers only part of the losses we may incur and does not cover losses on crops, wheat and blueberries due to drought or floods or similar risks, losses on blueberries due to hailstorms or any losses to our cattle, sheep and bees.

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, social security, labor lawsuits and other matters. We accrue liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. There are no material proceedings pending against us.

We contribute to a corporate social responsibility project, the “Fundación Unión,” which was founded by three of our directors in 2010. The objectives of this project are to transmit and foster our entrepreneurial spirit in every community in which we are present through our operations. The Fundación Unión aims at promoting individual development through collective work by the community, with an emphasis on organizational strengthening and collective capacities. The activities range from art displays, workshops, and cultural events, projects involving sports, recreation, environment protection, skill-based training and the support and defense of human rights. Our hope is that people in these communities will receive the tools necessary to craft their own social, personal and economic development through sustainable enterprises. With this venture we plan to promote environmental awareness, training in managing and operational techniques in promotion of micro and small enterprises, self-management and development of cultural projects through activities designed to develop social awareness, solidarity and ethics, which we believe to constitute key factors for achieving sustainable development. Our main objectives with this initiative are to:

Below follows a discussion of the principal regulatory framework governing our operations in Uruguay.

Uruguayan Antitrust Law 18,159, or the Uruguayan Antitrust Law, prohibits the abuse of a dominant position as well as all individual or concerted practices, conduct or recommendations with the effect or purpose of restricting, limiting, hindering, distorting or preventing current or future competition in the relevant market.

The Uruguayan Antitrust Law applies to all national and foreign public and private legal entities and individuals engaged in profit or non-profit economic activities in Uruguayan territory. The Uruguayan Antitrust Law also has extra-territorial application. It is binding upon those engaging in economic activities abroad insofar as such activities have total or partial effects in Uruguayan territory.

The Uruguayan Antitrust Law introduces a prior oversight system for mergers and acquisitions by companies having a certain market power. When the transaction results in a stake equal to or exceeding 50% of the relevant market, or when gross annual billings in Uruguay by the parties to the transaction exceeds approximately $80.0 million, notice to the enforcement agency is required. The parties’ obligations are limited to notification and the Uruguayan Antitrust Law does not empower the enforcement agency to object to the transaction. However, in extreme cases involving a de facto monopoly, authorization must be requested in advance, and the enforcement agency has the power to refuse a grant of authorization.

Uruguayan law promotes the responsible use and conservation of rural land, which the Uruguayan government has established as a principle of national interest. Owners or tenants of rural land or rural exploitations are obligated to apply all of the techniques established by the MFAL, in order to reduce land erosion and degradation.

Law 16811 created the National Institute of Seeds (Instituto Nacional de Semillas), which is responsible for the national registration of crops, crops property and seeds producers. The National Institute of Seeds is also responsible for certifying the quality of seeds and crops produced in Uruguay, as well as regulating and controlling the elaboration, production, export and import of seeds and the development of new crops.

In relation to the regulation of livestock, the Uruguayan Rural Code (Código rural) establishes a system of signals and marks in order to duly identify the property ownership of groups of livestock. According to the Uruguayan Rural Code, marks and signals are considered to be a presumption of property. The marks are recognized nationally, and as a result, identical livestock marks will not exist within the national territory.

Livestock owners are required to mark and register all of the livestock they own. In addition, each year, livestock owners are required to present a sworn statement with respect to any changes in the information that was provided the registration.

Moreover, livestock owners are obligated to register any movement of livestock, even in the event that no property transfer has taken place. According to national regulation, the transportation or transfer of livestock requires the execution of DICOSE documentation that duly identifies the livestock that is being transported or transferred. Transportation of livestock without due registration is prohibited. Different DICOSE documentation exists for each type of livestock. The DICOSE documentation also includes a section that describes all vaccinations that have been applied on the livestock.

In addition to identification by groups, individual registration of livestock is being implemented by MFAL. Registration will consist of incorporating an external (visual) and an internal (electronic) identification device with respect to each animal. An electronic chip is incorporated into the ear of the animal for purposes of identification and movement tracking. Each electronic chip is unique to allow for individual identification.

In Uruguay, apicultural activity is controlled by MFAL. Beehive owners are required to register with the National Registry of Beehive Owners (Registro Nacional de Propietarios de Colmenas). In addition, each year, beehive owners are required to present a sworn statement with respect to any changes in the information that was provided in the registration.

Furthermore, commercial honey in Uruguay has to be extracted in an authorized facility that is registered with MFAL. Renewal of registration for such facilities is conducted on a yearly basis and requires an inspection by the relevant authorities. The inspection includes an examination of the special infrastructure and required sanitation elements of the facility, as well as inspection of the staff involved in honey production and their work attires.

It is common for foreign corporations to conduct real property transactions in Uruguay due to Uruguay’s legal system, which prevents expropriation without compensation, does not restrict the ownership of private property and does not discriminate against foreigners. Furthermore, property transactions in Uruguay are subject to a clear tax scenario, public registries and the participation of notaries public (professionals who are legally trained and regulated).

Restrictions are limited to those areas considered part of the National Security Domain and pursuant to certain Municipal Decrees regarding frontier and coastal areas.

Foreign investors desiring to acquire real property in Uruguay can either act as individuals or use any form of legal entity in order to carry out their acquisition (e.g., Uruguayan Stock Corporations, LLCs or even off-shore vehicles as commonly used as a BVI or Delaware LLC).

Real estate transactions in Uruguay require the participation of a notary public, as required by Law 1,421 and the Civil Code. Once appointed by the buyer, the notary public is responsible for ensuring that all documents and permits are correct and that the investor acquires a clean title (i.e., confirming that there are no liens or mortgages, valid building permits and that there are no problems with respect to the status of taxes and utilities on the land).

Generally, real estate transactions begin with the execution of a preliminary agreement with respect to the real estate, or a Boleto de Reserva, by which the seller “books” or “reserves” the real estate property to the buyer. The main intention of the Boleto de Reserva is to obtain, prior to definite purchase, all required documentation before the National Registries in order to duly confirm that the real estate to be transferred has no liens and has all of the required documentation.

Once the documentation has been obtained, the parties may either execute a purchase promise, or promesa de compraventa, or a definitive purchase, or compraventa definitiva, for the real estate. The promesa de compraventa provides the promissory buyer with rights over the land, including access to its use and the ability to sell, assign and pledge the rights derived from the promesa. The compraventa definitiva provides the buyer with an owner’s rights and guarantees over the land. Both the promesa de compraventa and the compraventa definitiva are registered before the public registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria) in order to be enforceable against third parties.

The promesa of real estate is a contract regulated by Uruguayan law 8,733. Under such law, a promesa constitutes a definitive contract and not a preliminary agreement. However, a promesa is completed, and legal title is transferred, when a final purchase agreement, or escritura, is executed. An executed escritura is legally

equivalent to a compraventa definitiva. Because we acquire land through our subsidiaries whose shareholders are not individuals, we are prevented from executing any escritura without obtaining prior governmental authorization.

The registration of the promesa with the applicable Registro de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria provides the promissory buyer under the promesa with the following rights:

(i) a real right, or a derecho real, over the rural estate promised to be bought, which can be defended before third parties and protects the promissory buyer against future further sales or liens over the real estate; and

(ii) the right to force the promissory seller under the promesa to execute the compraventa definitiva, or the escritura, upon:

In the event that the promissory seller fails to execute the escritura after the occurrence of one of the above conditions or upon the promissory seller’s death or bankruptcy, the promissory buyer has the right to judicially obtain an escritura. Notwithstanding whether an escritura has been executed, a promissory buyer is able to sell or assign its rights in the promesa to a third party. There are no time limitations on the rights that a promissory buyer acquires under a promesa in respect of the promissory seller. In order for the promesa to also be effective against third parties, the law provides that a promesa be registered with the Public Registry (Registro de la Propiedad Inmueble). The initial registration of a promesa is effective for 30 years. The promissory buyer may also re-register the promesa for an additional five year period any time after the expiration of the initial 30 year period. In addition to the above, after the expiration of the initial 30 year term, the promissory buyer will also have possessory rights against any third party. Therefore, the promissory buyer can protect its interest against third parties claims irrespective of the expiration of the registration of the promesa.

Law 18,092 (as amended by Article 349 of Law 18,172) provides as a general rule that only individuals and companies having registered shares held by individuals can be owners of rural real estate and land operations in Uruguay. A corporation or other business entity that held title to rural land prior to effectiveness of Law 18,092 and did not comply with such law, or that is denied authorization to use such land, is deemed to be dissolved and its assets distributed to its shareholders or members. Following effectiveness of Law 18,092, any acquisition of title to or use of rural real estate by a corporation or business entity that does not comply with Law 18,092 is void or voidable. However, this general rule has the following exceptions, which are expressly regulated by Decrees Nos. 225/07 and 201/08:

(i) the Public Company Exception, which is based on specific features of the legal entities, including domestic or foreign corporations whose shares are traded in well-known local or foreign stock exchange markets, domestic or foreign pension funds; and

(ii) exceptions granted to legal entities (including corporations, branches of foreign companies, trusts and investment funds) with bearer or registered shares not covered by (i) above, including legal entities that develop activities which constitute part of a project considered as a priority for the productive development of Uruguay, or the Productive Project Exception.

Qualification for the Productive Project Exception is determined by a special commission, the Comisión de la Ley de Tierras, or the Commission, based on a business plan furnished by the company. In its determination,

the Commission considers, among others, the following factors: creation of new employment opportunities within the rural sector; development of small family enterprises; eradication of poverty in rural sectors; incorporation of technology; promotion of territorial decentralization; and development of new productive circuits.

Generally, the process for obtaining governmental authorization takes approximately one year, but may vary on a case-by-case basis. We obtained the First Productive Project authorization in one year, and we obtained the Second Productive Project authorization approximately 19 months after submitting our application.

We have applied for governmental authorization with respect to 66,645 hectares of land we hold under promesas, or 78.7% of our total land holdings, and we currently expect to obtain governmental authorization by June 2012. We are also in the process of preparing applications for governmental authorization with respect to our remaining land held under promesas.

Most of our subsidiaries that hold land under promesas are not using the land themselves. Instead, until June 22, 2011, the land underlying such promesas was being used by UAG S.A., another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, pursuant to intercompany agreements under Uruguayan law known as “comodatos,” between each of our subsidiaries holding land under promesas and UAG S.A. On June 22, 2011, the comodatos with UAG S.A. were terminated and new comodatos were entered into between each of our subsidiaries holding land under promesas and Boisy S.A., another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. See “Business—Material Agreements—Comodatos.” We entered into these new comodatos because Boisy S.A. had already received authorization to use land in the past and, in accordance with Decrees Nos. 225/07 and 201/08, we believe it should be able to obtain governmental authorization to use such lands under the Expedited Process, as described below.

On June 22, 2011, Boisy S.A. applied for governmental authorization to continue using 64,505 hectares of our land held under promesas. On June 23, 2011, the executive branch of the Uruguayan government issued a decree confirming that companies such as Boisy S.A. that had properly applied to obtain authorization could continue to use the land pending government determination of their applications. We expect to obtain this authorization 30 business days after the date we made the application, although there can be no assurance that the government will not deny the application. A proper application to obtain governmental authorization under the Expedited Process is an application submitted to the Uruguayan Ministry of Fishing, Agriculture and Livestock, or the MFAL, by an entity that has obtained prior authorization to own or use land and has timely requested that such authorization be extended to own or use additional land. We have concluded that we properly applied for governmental authorization and therefore are permitted to continue using the 64,505 hectares of land because the application was submitted by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Boisy S.A., which had previously obtained governmental authorization to use land, and that such application was submitted on June 22, 2011, and therefore it was timely filed. The Uruguayan government will review the application based on three factors: whether the applicant had previously received governmental authorization to use land; whether the land that is the subject of the application can be used for the requested purposes; and whether the application was timely filed. We fully expect that we will be granted the authorization under the Expedited Process based on (i) a certificate issued to us by the MFAL on June 24, 2011, certifying that the Uruguayan government does not have any comments with respect to the application as of the date of such certificate and (ii) direct discussions with officials of the MFAL, who have indicated that such authorization is expected to be granted upon the expiration of the 30 business day waiting period. There can be no assurance that the government will not deny the Expedited Process application. If our application for authorization to use the land is denied under the Expedited Process, processing of our application will continue under the standard process for the Third Productive Project, which process generally takes 12 to 16 months from the date of application to complete. However, during such time, we would continue to be able to use the land that is the subject of the standard authorization process. We are currently authorized to use all of our land held under promesas, as the use of all of our land held under promesas has either been authorized by the Uruguayan government or is subject to applications for authorization and, therefore, use of such land is permitted under Decree No. 218/11.

The expiration of the Compliance Period on June 30, 2011 does not have an impact on our ability to acquire additional land under promesas. Should we wish to, we will be able to continue acquiring land under promesas.

However, as a result of the expiration of the Compliance Period, we will be required to obtain authorization to use land held under promesas before we may use such land. We expect that, in the future, prior to acquiring land under a promesa or under a compraventa definitiva, we will, as a condition to entering into any such promesa or compraventa definitiva, obtain governmental authorization under the expedited process to permit us to obtain title to, and use of, such land.

Upon the completion of this offering, we intend to submit an application for governmental authorization to obtain title to, and use of, our lands held under promesas under a different provision of the applicable law, namely the Public Company Exception, which we would be permitted to apply for once this offering is completed and our common shares are traded on the NYSE. Based on the opinion of our Uruguayan legal counsel, Bragard & Duran Abogados, we believe that we comply with applicable Uruguayan law and fully expect that we will receive governmental authorization to obtain title to, and use of, our land held under promesas pursuant to the Productive Project Exception or the Public Company Exception. We do not believe that the Uruguayan government will refuse to grant such authorization, which refusal could force the liquidation of our land held under promesas. Moreover, based on the opinion of Uruguayan legal counsel, Bragard & Duran Abogados, we would have the right to challenge such refusal in the courts of Uruguay. Although we do not intend to do so, we also have the right at any time to, and could, sell the promesas to a third-party purchaser at market value. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industries—If we do not obtain governmental authorizations with respect to all of our lands, we could lose the rights to the use and the economic benefits of such lands.”

Decrees Nos. 225/07 and 201/08 also provide for an expedited process for authorization, applicable to those legal entities which have already obtained an exception to own (or use) rural land. In such cases, authorization to own (or use) additional land shall be automatically granted within 30 business days after all of the necessary documentation and requests are filed. However, in the event that the request is overseen by the president of Uruguay or MFAL, processing will continue in accordance with standard authorization procedures as described above.

The purpose of the laws and decrees described above is to encourage the productivity of Uruguayan rural land, the creation of jobs in rural areas, the production of exportable commodities, the incorporation of technology in the process of production, the value added to products, the development of new production chains in the country and the promotion of territorial decentralization. In Uruguay, there are no restrictions on the ability of foreigners to own rural land either directly under their own name or indirectly as a shareholder of a corporation with registered shares, provided that such foreigners comply with the regulation discussed above.

Uruguayan law provides that farmlands with more than 500 hectares with a productivity land index (CONEAT) of 100, which includes most of our farmlands, must be offered to the Instituto Nacional de Colonización, or the INC, which is an agency of the Uruguayan government, prior to their sale to a third-party. Accordingly, a seller of such farmland must first agree to the price and terms of a sale to a third-party buyer, and then is required to provide a right of first refusal to the INC, by offering such farmland to the INC at the same price and on the same terms as those agreed with the third-party buyer. The INC has 20 business days to exercise its right to purchase such farmland (or a portion thereof, as applicable). The INC rarely exercises this right, but may do so if it believes that the proposed sale is for a price significantly below market value or the INC has a special interest in such land, for example, if the farmland is located close to a populated area. If the INC does not exercise its right, the seller may proceed with the sale of such farmland to the third-party buyer pursuant to a compraventa definitiva or a promesa de compraventa.

Law 18,308 prohibits the construction of buildings in rural properties that may require urban services or infrastructures that could establish activities of an urban nature which may deprive the rural property of its natural characteristics. A more recent Law 18,719 provides a list of certain activities and constructions that are allowed on rural properties and exempted from the prohibition under Law 18,308, including the construction of wind farms, cementries, waste disposal and treatments plants and other construction related to mining and agriculture activities.

Rural land leases are registered with the real estate registry (Registro de la Propiedad Imnobiliaria) of the department on which the leased land is located. Registration enables the enforcement of agreements with third parties and entitles the parties to the agreement to act as lessor and lessee before public offices. After registration, any transfer in ownership of the land will also legally assign the lease agreement and the new owner of the land becomes the lessor. After registration, the lease agreement can be used to exercise rights vis-à-vis third-parties, even in the event that the prior owners have died or the property has been sold.

Leases are not subject to minimum terms by law, with the exception being a four year minimum for rural leases for the purposes of dairy production. However, leases are subject to a maximum term of 15 years by law, except rural leases for purposes of forestry, construction of dams, reservoirs, windfarms or for the generation of electric energy, which are subject to a maximum term of 30 years.

There are no restrictions on the price and price readjustments for rural land leases. Parties are also free to negotiate any types of guarantees.

At the end of lease, the land is to be restituted in the same condition it was first granted by the lessor. Generally, the lease agreement will provide for restrictions on improvements and any related incurrence and reimbursement of expenses. However, if the lease agreement was silent on such matters, improvements paid for by the lessor may not be removed but improvements paid for by the lessee may be removed from the land as long as removal does not affect the land. The lessor may retain the improvements on the land if it pays lessee for the improvements.

Under Uruguayan law, assignment of leases is trilateral and the owner of the land needs to consent to the assignment.

The General Environmental Protection Law (Ley General de Protección del Medio Ambiente) provides for the following principles:

Generally, Uruguayan law does not provide for a specific environmental liability regime. Therefore, general provisions of the Uruguayan Civil Code (Código Civil de la República Oriental del Uruguay) apply, including those establishing the liability of any person that causes damage through willful misconduct or negligence.

According to local law, any party causing environmental degradation, destruction or contamination must, if materially possible, remediate such damage. Pursuant to Article 4 of Law No. 16,466 “Prevention and Assessment of Environmental Impact,” in the case of irreversible damage, the party must take all necessary action to reduce or mitigate such damage, to the extent possible.

Uruguay has no criminal environmental penalties with a certain few exceptions, including penalties for introducing of hazardous wastes into Uruguayan territory and poisoning or adulterating water or food.

At the administrative level, the Ministry of Housing, Land Management and Environment (Ministerio de Vivienda, Ordenamiento Territorial y Medio Ambiente) determines whether public or private activities comply with environmental regulations. Administrative penalties in cases of non-compliance may result in fines, public disclosure of penalties, temporary or permanent cessation of business or the suspension or cessation of the activities that affect the environment.

Uruguayan regulations provide for certain activities that may be limited or prohibited (e.g., limitations on traditional production activities, hunting and fishing) in designated areas that are included in the National System of Natural Protected Areas (Sistema Nacional de Areas Protegidas, or SNAP). Uruguayan regulations also protect native forests. Prior authorization of the MFAL is required for logging and extraction of forest products in the native forest.

Uruguayan regulations on biosafety in respect of plants and the genetic modification of plant organisms were enacted in 2008. The regulations require prior governmental authorization for introduction, use and manipulation of plants and genetically modified plant organisms, creating a new institutional structure for such purposes.

Pursuant to the ruling on responsible use and appropriate management of soil for farming production, land users must file a management plan with the Ministry of Fishing, Agriculture and Livestock. Such plan must show that the production system ensures a tolerable level of erosion taking into account the soil used, crop sequencing and management practices. In addition, the ruling expressly enumerates inappropriate practices in soil and water management, specifically in cases of direct sowing or plowing and in all general circumstances. In addition, the ruling establishes the obligation to adopt measures to recover eroded or degraded soil in all cases, regardless of the severity of such degradation or erosion. The obligation to recover eroded soil implies the joint and several liability of the landowner and the land user for applicable sanctions.

There are no exchange controls presently in effect in Uruguay. Since September 1974, foreign exchange market operations have been completely free on the basis of fluctuating rates determined by supply and demand. The purchase and sale of foreign currency and payments made abroad in foreign currency are not restricted in any way.

Payment for imports may be made out of hard currency held either abroad or in the country, or by purchasing such currency within the country. Exporters may freely keep the foreign currency proceeds from their export sales.

There are no legal obstacles to commercial or financial agreements being drawn up in a foreign currency. Legal enforcement of contracts may be made either in local currency or in the foreign currency originally agreed upon by the parties.

Uruguayan Law 17,016 (as amended by other laws) was the first regulation that categorized money laundering as a crime. Subsequent laws and Central Bank regulations have complemented the anti-money laundering framework in Uruguay. In particular, Laws 17,835 and 18,494, enacted recently, have strengthened the anti-money laundering regime.

In 2000, the BCU created the Unidad de Información y Análisis Financiero, or the UIAF, an agency of the BCU responsible for analyzing and responding to reports of transactions suspected of being linked to money laundering. Money laundering involves the exchange, transfer, management, sale or any other use of monies or other assets that are the product of criminal activity by a person who did not participate in such crime, with the possible result that such monies or assets have the appearance of having been obtained through a lawful activity.

Uruguayan Law 17,835 and BCU regulations provide that all individuals or companies under BCU’s control must report (i) unusual transactions within their respective activities that do not have economic or legal justification or have unjustified complexity and (ii) financial transactions involving assets that are suspected to be illicit.

The anti-money laundering legal framework also provides a list of entities subject to information and control duties, such as casinos, real estate agents and investment advisors, among others.

The following is a summary of the material Uruguayan tax considerations relating to our operations in Uruguay and is based upon laws, regulations, decrees, rulings, administrative practice and judicial decisions in effect as of the date of this prospectus. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes or interpretations may, however, be forthcoming. Any such changes or interpretations could affect the tax consequences to Uruguayan taxpayers, possibly on retroactive bases, and could alter or modify the statements and conclusions set forth herein. This summary does not purport to be a legal opinion or to address all tax aspects that may be relevant to a taxpayer in Uruguay.

Income Tax. Uruguayan source income obtained by legal entities domiciled in Uruguay and by permanent establishments of foreign entities is subject to the Corporate Income Tax, or the IRAE, at the rate of 25%.

Taxable income is determined according to IRAE regulations. Expenses can be deducted only if they constitute income for the other party (resident or non-resident) subject to corporate or individual income tax, and only in proportion to the ratio of the rate applicable to the income of the other party to the 25% IRAE rate.

Losses incurred during any fiscal year may be carried forward and set off against taxable income obtained during the following five fiscal years.

Non-Resident Income Tax. Uruguayan source income obtained by non-resident individuals or entities is subject to the Non-Resident Income Tax, or the IRNR, at the rate of 12%.

Payments from Uruguayan entities to foreign residents (i.e. fees, interest, etc.) are subject to IRNR withholding. Under certain circumstances, technical services rendered outside of Uruguay for the benefit of IRAE taxpayers are deemed to be rendered in Uruguay and, therefore, subject to IRNR.

The sale, exchange or other disposition of registered shares of Uruguayan corporations by non-residents is subject to IRNR. The taxable income is determined on a notional basis as 20% of the sale price. Sales of bearer shares are exempt from this tax.

Net Worth Tax. Net Worth Tax, or the IP, is levied at the rate of 1.5% on the net worth of Uruguayan entities located in Uruguay, including all assets located, placed or used economically in Uruguayan territory minus a short list of liabilities stipulated by law, which includes loans from local banks, certain debts with goods and services providers and import balances.

Uruguayan entities must withhold IP at a rate of 1.5% on debts outstanding with individuals or legal entities that reside outside of Uruguay on December 31 of a particular fiscal year, with the exception of deposits, loans and import debts.

Value Added Tax. VAT is levied on the domestic circulation and importation of goods and on the provision of services within the Uruguayan territory at the general rate of 22%. However, for a limited number of basic needs products and services, a lower rate of 10% applies.

The sale of certain farming products is zero rated, which means that VAT is not charged on the sale of such products. In addition, there is a refund of the VAT that is included in the purchase of goods and services that directly or indirectly form part of the cost of production of farming products. The export of goods and of certain services is also zero rated.

Tax on dividends. Dividends paid on shares of Uruguayan corporations to non-resident entities are subject to a withholding tax of 7%. The withholding tax is not applied to the actual amount of dividends distributed, but to an amount equivalent to the taxable income for IRAE. This tax is not applicable if dividends are paid in shares unless such shares are redeemed within two years after such share dividend. For capital redemptions, the amount by which the redemption price exceeds the nominal price of the corresponding shares is also treated as a dividend.

Tax on the Alienation of Farming Products. Tax on the Alienation of Farming Products, or the IMEBA, is levied on the first conveyance of farm products, under any title, made by producers to IRAE taxpayers, government and municipal agencies and on the export of farm goods. The tax rate for the sale of cereal and oil seeds is 0.1%, while the tax rate for the sale of bovine and ovine cattle is 2.0%.

There are two additional taxes: (1) the Impuesto Adicional MEVIR, levied at a rate of 0.2% on the first conveyance of farm products to IRAE taxpayers, municipality offices and other government organisms, as well as to exports of (i) wool, cowhide, ovine fur; (ii) sheep and cattle livestock; and (iii) cereals and oil products, and (2) the Impuesto Adicional INIA, levied at a rate of 0.4% on the first conveyance executed by farm producers to IRAE taxpayers, municipality offices and other government organisms, as well as to exports of: (a) wool, cowhide, ovine fur; (b) sheep and cattle livestock; (c) cereals and oil products; (d) pig livestock; (e) milk; (f) poultry products; (g) apiculture products; (h) forestry products; and (i) seeds and fruits in natural state. In contrast to IMEBA payments, these two additional taxes cannot be accredited to IRAE payments.

In addition, the President of Uruguay recently stated that he wished to tax land holdings of more than 2,000 hectares with unknown rates from 2,000 to 10,000 hectares and more than 10,000 hectares at a rate of $16 per hectare. Although legislation regarding such a tax has not been introduced, it could come into effect in the future. If such a tax were to come into effect and we reached our objective of holding 160,000 hectares of land in Uruguay, such a tax would increase our total taxes by approximately $2.5 million per year, which would reduce our profitability or increase our loss by such amount.

Uruguayan law does not place any restrictions on the hiring of employees and foreign individuals may be hired freely, provided that such foreign individuals must obtain the proper immigration status. To that end, such foreign individuals must apply for the Temporary Identification Card (Hoja Provisoria) or legal permanent residency, if they remain in Uruguay for a period greater than or less than 180 days, respectively. Under the framework of equal rights and treatment for foreign employees, Law 18,250 specifies that foreign employees must receive the same treatment and working conditions as Uruguayan employees. A company may hire staff for an indefinite period or provide that the contract is for a certain period according to its operational needs (e.g., probationary contract, contract for harvest, etc.).

Under Uruguayan labor laws, an employer may terminate employment without cause and without notice, but the terminated employee is entitled to receive an amount specified by law as severance compensation. Workers’ compensation is calculated on the basis of seniority and salary of the employee in question, up to a maximum of six months of salaries (in the case of employees paid monthly) or 150 days of wages (in the case of a laborer). A company is not obligated to pay compensation if the company has evidence that the employee has committed an act of “gross misconduct,” or if the termination resulted from the expiration of a labor agreement between the parties.

However, if the dismissal was grounded on discrimination by reason of birth, race, sex, religion, belief or any other personal or social reasons, the dismissal could be deemed as a special dismissal and the employer may be sanctioned to pay double or triple severance, depending on the circumstances. Severance pay for a special dismissal aims to compensate the pain and suffering of the terminated worker.

Generally, a terminated employee does not have a right to reinstatement; compensation for special damages is made by monetary payment in the form of abusive or special severance pay. The only exception to this general principle is for dismissals that are based on union status.

In most cases, a terminated employee would not be entitled to moral damages. However, under exceptional circumstances, the courts have ordered an additional payment of moral damages. For example, moral damages may be given in cases of contemptible treatment where the relationship between the employer and the employee is akin to slavery.

The law provides for other special protections with respect to the dismissal of employees who have suffered a workplace accident, injury or an occupational illness, pregnant employees or those that have recently given birth. In each of these cases, Uruguayan law sets forth a protective period and special compensation if the employee is dismissed during that period.

In Uruguay, the Consejo de Salarios, or the Board of Salaries, fix the minimum wages that must be paid by an employer. The Board of Salaries is tripartite and is composed of representatives of the government, the employer’s chambers and labor unions. The main function of the Board of Salaries is to fix minimum wages and labor benefits for private workers according to the type of activity performed by the employer. As of January 1, 2010, the Board of Salaries has fixed the minimum nominal wages of our lowest operating positions in the range of $250 to $450 per month.

Under Uruguayan labor legislation, employees devoted to agriculture activities may work up to eight hours per day and six days per week, for a total maximum of 48 weekly hours. Employees in the administrative and commercial sector may work up to eight hours per day from Monday to Friday, and four hours on Saturdays, for a total maximum of 44 weekly hours. Any time worked exceeding the fixed limit is considered overtime and the employee is entitled to 200% of their regular hourly wage. When an employee works during a holiday or days that are not business days, such an employee is entitled to 150% of their hourly wage.

Certain categories of employees are excluded from the protection of such provisions, whereby they are not entitled to overtime payment. These categories include senior staff, college educated employees, and qualified employees that are highly skilled in order to fulfill their duties.

Law 12,590 provides that an employee accumulates 20 vacation days for every full year of employment. Vacation leave is accrued during the calendar year, and must be taken within the following year. An employee

who has not worked during a full calendar year is still entitled to benefit from their vacation in the following year to the extent they have accrued it in the period ending on December 31 of the prior year.

As a general rule, vacation days shall be taken in only one period, but upon agreement between the company and its employees, it may be taken in periods of not less than 10 days each. An employee with five years of work experience is entitled to an additional vacation day. Subsequently, an additional vacation day is added for every additional four years of work experience.

Pursuant to Law 16,101, private sector employees shall be paid an amount equal to 100% of their daily net wages for their period of vacation, which amount must be paid prior to the beginning of their vacation. The net wage is calculated based on all salary items and benefits, both in cash or in kind, that are received by the employee, including compensation, overtime pay, additional incentives and bonuses.

Companies are legally obligated to pay an annual bonus equal to one-twelfth of all compensation paid in cash by the employer between December 1^st and November 30^th of the following year. The benefit is paid in two installments: the first, before June 30^th, and the second, before December 20^th.

Uruguayan legislation provides that social security must be financed from contributions made by employees and employers. As a result, most benefits received by employees derived from employment, including salaries and paid vacation, are subject to Social Security Contributions, or SSCs. Pursuant to Law 16.713, the following contributions are levied by SSCs:

Employee Contributions: Employee SSCs are deducted from the nominal salary paid to the employee. The employer is responsible for retaining SSCs from the employee’s salary and for remitting it to the Banco de Previsión Social, or BPS, which is Uruguay’s social security authority.

Employer Contributions: Employers must pay a contribution equal to 12.625% of the employee’s nominal salary to the BPS.

Uruguayan resident workers are subject to an annual income tax on their salaries. It is the responsibility of the employer to withholding income tax and remit it to the Dirección General Impositiva, which is Uruguay’s taxing authority.

According to Law 5,032 and Law 16,074, employers must provide occupational accidental and occupational health insurance from the Banco de Seguros del Estado, or the State Insurance Bank.

Pursuant to Law 18.091, an employee has one year from the date of last employment to bring a labor claim to court. An employee may extend such term for an additional year by presentation before the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Damages are limited to losses suffered by an employee during the five years prior to termination.

Our management committee evaluates our operations based on the performance of each of our products and services. The members of our management committee are Juan Sartori, Oscar Baltasar Costa Martínez, Oscar León Bentancor, Silvio de Souza Rocha and Walter Cardozo Vázquez. Based on this decision-making process, we organize our operations by productive regions that share technical resources, machinery and equipment, with each region managed by a dedicated manager who is responsible for the products and services within his or her region. This allows each region to work independently while at the same time benefiting from synergies with

other regions. Each regional manager reports information about the products and services within that region to Mr. de Souza, our Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Cardozo, our Head Agronomist and Chief Technology Officer, and Mr. León, our Chief Financial Officer, who in turn report company-wide information on products and services to our management committee. We also have an agronomist responsible for managing our supplies department and an agronomist responsible for managing our business development department.

The board of directors is empowered to manage our business and affairs. Pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association, our board of directors must be composed of between one and twelve members. The directors are appointed by a shareholders’ resolution, including a majority of votes cast at the annual meeting of shareholders (except in case of a vacancy in the office of a director, a majority of the remaining directors may fill such vacancy to hold office under the next annual meeting of shareholders).

Currently, the board of directors has seven members: Juan Sartori, Oscar Baltasar Costa Martínez, Edgardo Luis Cardozo Vázquez, Jérôme Tordo, Jean Jacques Bragard, Julio De Brun Mascheroni and Roberto Vazquez Platero.

There are no agreements with majority shareholders, customers, suppliers or others governing the selection of any of the directors or members of senior management. None of our non-executive directors has a service contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of directorship.

Each of Jérôme Tordo, Julio De Brun Mascheroni and Roberto Vazquez Platero is considered “independent” as defined under the NYSE rules and for purposes of Canadian securities laws. Under the NYSE rules, an independent director means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. A director is considered to be independent for the purposes of Canadian securities laws if the director has no direct or indirect material relationship to the company. A material relationship is a relationship that could, in the view of the board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. Certain individuals, such as employees and executive officers of the company, are deemed by Canadian securities laws to have material relationships with the company. Following the completion of this offering, we intend to appoint two additional members to our board of directors who will also be considered “independent” as defined under the NYSE rules and for purpose of Canadian securities laws.

Our non-independent company directors are Juan Sartori and Oscar Baltasar Costa Martínez. They are deemed to be non-independent because they are executive officers of the company.

The mandate of our board of directors will be to oversee corporate performance and to provide quality, depth and continuity of management so that we can meet our strategic objectives.

Our board intends to develop and implement a written position description for each of the executive chairman and the chief executive officer.

Newly elected directors will be provided with orientation on our business and operations. This includes familiarization with our reporting structure, strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk issues and management and the external auditor.

The board intends to establish a Code of Business Conduct, or Code, to govern the conduct of our board of directors, executives, employees, contractors and agents.

Our board intends to establish an audit committee in compliance with Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the requirements of the NYSE prior to the completion of this offering. Upon completion of the offering, our audit committee will be comprised of Julio De Brun Mascheroni and Roberto Vazquez Platero. The board has determined that each of Messrs. De Brun and Vazquez is an appropriate person to serve on the audit committee, and is financially literate based on his educational background and significant work experience, including Mr. De Brun’s service as the Governor of the Central Bank of Uruguay and Mr. Vazquez’s service as audit committee chair of the International Food Policy Research Institute.

The principal duties and responsibilities of our audit committee will be to assist our board of directors in discharging its oversight of:

Our audit committee will have access to all books, records, facilities and personnel and may request any information about our company as it may deem appropriate.

Our audit committee will review and approve related party transactions and prepares reports for the board of directors on such related party transactions.

All members of the audit committee will have experience reviewing financial statements and dealing with related accounting and auditing issues. For additional information regarding each of Messrs. De Brun’s and Vazquez’s education and experience relevant to the performance of his duties as a member of the audit committee see “Management–Directors and Executive Officers”.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures. From time to time, management will recommend to and request approval from the audit committee for audit and non-audit services to be provided by our auditors. The audit committee will consider such requests on an annual basis and, if acceptable, pre-approve such audit and non-audit services. During such deliberations, the audit committee will assess, among other factors, whether the services requested would be considered “prohibited services” as contemplated by the SEC, and whether the services requested and the fees related to such services could impair the independence of the auditors.

External Auditor’s Fees. PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltda., Montevideo, Uruguay, an independent registered public accounting firm, is our auditor. Fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltda. to UAG in fiscal years ending June 30, 2009 and 2010 were approximately $58,000 and $68,000, respectively, as detailed below.

Our board is responsible for identifying eligible candidates for membership on the board of directors and for recommending such candidates for election at annual general meetings. Our board is also be responsible for developing and recommending the adoption of corporate governance standards by the board, as well as assessing the effectiveness of the board and the audit committee in implementing such governance standards. Our board will periodically review the size and composition of the board and make changes to the composition of the board based on the risk, opportunities and strategic direction of UAG.

Our board, the audit committee and our individual directors will be assessed on an annual basis. Each assessment will be conducted with reference to position descriptions, policies and guidelines established by UAG to provide our directors, officers and employees with guidance.

The compensation of our company’s directors and executive officers is approved at least annually at a meeting of the board of directors. To ensure an objective process for determining compensation, our board will consider a variety of pre-determined, objective criteria and consults with independent third party advisers. The aggregate compensation earned by our directors and executive officers during fiscal year 2010 amounted to $0.6 million. In addition, in fiscal year 2010, taking into account the option conversion described below, options to purchase 73,334 common shares were granted to our officers and directors, with an exercise price per share of $8.40 and expiry date of August 18, 2014. These grants were made under the Stock Option Plan described below.

We do not pay or set aside any amounts for pension, retirement or other similar benefits for our directors and executive officers.

On June 30, 2011, our board of directors agreed to issue $5.0 million of common shares and $1.0 million of restricted shares to certain of our executive officers as soon as practicable following completion of this offering at the initial public offering price. Based on the midpoint of the range on the cover page of this prospectus, we expect to issue 357,143 common shares and 71,429 restricted shares. The common shares will not be subject to vesting or forfeiture. The restricted shares are common shares that will be issued under our Equity Incentive Plan, which will vest at a rate of one-third per year and until vested will be subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances. See “—Union Agriculture Group Corp. Equity Incentive Plan.”

We maintain the Union Agriculture Group Corp. Stock Option Plan, or the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase common shares of our company.

The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan, and any of our other security-based compensation arrangements, is equal to 10% of the number of outstanding common shares, subject to certain adjustments. Based on the total number of our common shares outstanding of 36,881,684 as of the date of this prospectus, 3,688,168 common shares are reserved for issuance of which 2,874,401 options to purchase common shares have been granted under our Stock Option Plan. Any common shares subject to options which have been cancelled or terminated will again be available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan.

The Stock Option Plan is administered by our board of directors, or a committee of our board of directors appointed by our board of directors. Our board of directors, or the appointed committee, has authority to generally: (i) grant options to eligible individuals, (ii) to determine the terms of the options grants, including any restrictions or conditions and the exercise date (subject to certain limitations) and exercise price of the option (subject to certain limitations on the price), (iii) to interpret the Stock Option Plan and to adopt, amend and rescind any administrative guidelines or rules relating to the Stock Option Plan, and (iv) to make any determinations or to take any actions in connection with the implementation and administration of the Stock Option Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable.

Individuals eligible to receive options under the Stock Option Plan include employees, officers, directors, consultants or investor relations personnel of UAG.

Our board of directors (or the appointed committee) may amend or discontinue the Stock Options Plan, except participant consent will be needed if a participant’s rights are adversely affected.

All outstanding options under the Stock Option Plan will become immediately exercisable upon certain change of control events, and the expiry date of such options shall remain the same, as described more fully in the Stock Option Plan. In addition, if our board of directors (or the appointed committee) declares it advisable in connection with a proposal sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of our company or a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or offer to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of our company, we may give written notice to all participants in the Stock Option Plan, after which time all of the options under the Stock Option Plan must be exercised within 30 days of the notice or the options will be terminated, as long as the proposed transaction is completed within 180 days of the notice.

Under the Stock Option Plan, as of the date of this prospectus, options to purchase 2,874,401 common shares have been granted and the weighted average exercise price of all granted options is $10.62.

Outstanding options under the Stock Option Plan either vest: (i) immediately at the date of grant, (ii) over a two-year period from the date they are granted at 25% every six months or (iii) over a four-year period from the date they are granted at 25% every year. Options are exercisable over a five-year period. The exercise price of the options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common shares at the date of grant.

We maintain the Equity Incentive Plan, or the Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares, or awards.

The maximum number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan is 3,678,855 plus an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2012 equal to the lesser of (i) 10% of the outstanding shares on the first day of the fiscal year or (ii) such lesser amount as determined by the board of directors. Upon the payment of common shares pursuant to the exercise of an award under the Equity Incentive Plan, the number of common shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan shall be reduced only by the number of common shares actually issued in such payment. If a holder of awards pays the exercise price (or purchase price, if applicable) of an award through the tender of common shares, or if common shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any company withholding obligations, the number of common shares so tendered or withheld shall again be available for issuance pursuant to future awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.

If outstanding awards expire or are terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in full, or if common shares are acquired pursuant to an award forfeited or repurchased by us, the common shares allocable to the terminated portion of such award or such forfeited or repurchased common shares shall again be available for grant under the Equity Incentive Plan.

The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by our board of directors, or a committee of our board of directors appointed by our board of directors. Our board of directors, or the appointed committee, has authority to: (i) determine the fair market value of the award; (ii) select the service providers (which may be an employee, director or consultant) to whom awards may be granted; (iii) determine the number of common shares to be covered by each award; (iv) approve forms of agreement for use under the Equity Incentive Plan; (v) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, of any award; (vi) construe and interpret the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan; (vii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Equity Incentive Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws and/or qualifying for preferred tax treatment under applicable foreign tax laws; (viii) modify or amend each award (subject to obtaining shareholder approval when required by applicable law), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of awards longer than is otherwise provided for in the Equity Incentive Plan; (ix) allow holders of awards to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the company withhold from the common shares or cash to be issued upon exercise or vesting of an award the number of common shares or cash having a fair market value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld; (x) authorize any person to execute on behalf of the company any instrument required to effect the grant of an award previously granted; (xi) allow a holder of awards to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of common shares that would otherwise be due to such holder under an award; (xii) determine whether awards will be settled in common shares, cash or any combination thereof; (xiii) determine whether awards will be adjusted for credit, at the discretion of the board of directors, at an amount equal to the value of dividends paid on common shares represented by such awards; (xiv) establish a program whereby service providers designated by the board of directors can reduce compensation otherwise payable in cash in exchange for awards under the Equity Incentive Plan; (xv) impose any restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by any holder of awards or other subsequent transfers by any holder of awards of any common shares issued as a result of or under an award; and (xvi) make any other determinations deemed necessary or desirable for the administration of the Equity Incentive Plan.

The board of directors, or the appointed committee, may grant stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan to service providers. The term of each stock option granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will be no more than

10 years from the date of grant, unless the recipient of the award holds more than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the company in which case the term of the stock options will not exceed five years. The exercise price will be determined by the board of directors, or the appointed committee, but will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant, unless the recipient of the award holds more than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the company in which case the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of stock options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan may be satisfied by way of cash, promissory note, a reduction in any debt owed by the holder to the company or a combination of these. Cashless exercise is also permitted.

The board of directors, or the appointed committee, may grant non-transferrable restricted shares under the Equity Incentive Plan to service providers. The restricted shares will be held by the company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such common shares have lapsed. Holders of restricted shares that have been granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will have voting rights and will be entitled to receive dividends unless otherwise provided in the agreement evidencing the award.

The board of directors, or the appointed committee, may grant stock appreciation rights under the Equity Incentive Plan to service providers. The board of directors, or the appointed committee, has the discretion to determine the terms and conditions attached to grants of stock appreciation rights provided, however, that the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant.

On the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the holder will be entitled to receive an amount determined by multiplying the difference between the fair market value of a common share on the date of exercise over the exercise price times the number of shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised.

The board of directors, or the appointed committee, may grant performance units and/or performance shares under the Equity Incentive Plan to service providers. The initial value of performance units will be established by the board of directors, or the appointed committee, on the date of grant. The performance shares will have an initial value equal to the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant. The board of directors, or the appointed committee, will set performance objectives based upon the achievement of company-wide, divisional or individual goals and having a duration of at least 12 months, to determine the number of performance units or performance shares to be awarded.

The board of directors, or the appointed committee, may grant restricted stock units, which may be paid out in installments or on a deferred basis, under the Equity Incentive Plan to service providers

Unless determined otherwise by the board of directors, or the appointed committee, awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner.

In the event that any dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of common shares or other securities of the company, or other change in the corporate structure of the company affecting the

common shares occurs such that an adjustment is determined by the board of directors, or the appointed committee, to be appropriate, then the board of directors, or the appointed committee, shall adjust the number and class of common shares which may be delivered under the Equity Incentive Plan.

In the event of a change in control, each outstanding award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent security substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the award, the award shall fully vest.

The board of directors, or the appointed committee, may amend or discontinue the Equity Incentive Plan, except that consent from the holder of the award is required for any material amendments.

The following table sets forth the total number of common shares to be issued upon exercise of the options under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of the options awarded, the date of grant and the date of expiration, as of the date of this prospectus:

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares as of the date of this offering, as adjusted to reflect the sale of the common shares offered in this offering by:

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules, which generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to each person or entity who possesses, either solely or shared with others, the power to vote or dispose of those securities. These rules also treat as outstanding all shares that a person would receive upon exercise of stock options or warrants, or upon conversion of convertible securities held by that person that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the determination date. Shares issuable pursuant to exercisable or convertible securities are deemed to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such securities, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based on 36,881,684 common shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, and 51,167,399 common shares outstanding immediately after the completion of this offering. To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all common shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

The table below does not reflect the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional common shares, which would be sold by us.

As of the date of this prospectus, 1,052,835 common shares representing 2.9% of our outstanding common shares are held by United States record holders.

Our principal shareholders have the same voting rights as our other shareholders.

The following is a brief description of our share capital and the provisions of our memorandum and articles of association.

As of the date of this prospectus an aggregate of 36,881,684 common shares were issued and outstanding.

To our knowledge, as of the date of this prospectus, there are no shareholders’ arrangements or agreements the implementation or performance of which could, at a later date, result in a change in the control of Union Agriculture Group Corp. in favor of a third person.

Our shares are governed by the laws of BVI, and our memorandum and articles of association. More information concerning shareholders’ rights can be found in the BVI Business Companies Act, and our memorandum and articles of association.

The following is a summary of the rights of the holders of our shares that are material to an investment in our common shares. These rights are set out in our memorandum and articles of association or are provided by applicable BVI law, and may differ from those typically provided to shareholders of U.S. companies under the corporation laws of some states of the United States. This summary does not contain all information that may be important to you. For more complete information, you should read our memorandum and articles of association, which we have filed with the SEC. For information on how to obtain a copy of our memorandum and articles of association, see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Union Agriculture Group Corp. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of BVI and is a company limited by shares. The company’s legal name is “Union Agriculture Group Corp.” Union Agriculture Group Corp. was incorporated on January 2, 2008 and is incorporated for an indefinite period.

Our registered office is Vanterpool Plaza, 2nd floor, Wickhams Cay I, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Union Agriculture Group Corp., as stated in Section 5 of our memorandum of association (Capacity and Powers), has full capacity to carry on or undertake any business or activity, do any act or enter into any transaction and, for such purposes, full rights, powers and privileges. Union Agriculture Group Corp. may not carry on banking or trust company business, carry on business as an insurance or reinsurance company, insurance agent or insurance broker, carry on the business of company management or carry on business of providing the registered office or registered agent for companies incorporated in BVI.

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares without par value.

Our articles of association authorize our board of directors to issue and grant options over or otherwise dispose of the shares to such persons, at such times, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as the board of directors may determine.

Shares may not be issued until the consideration for the share is fully paid in money or in property or past services for such amount of consideration as our directors may from time to time by resolution determine, which amount shall be in the sole discretion of our directors without reference to any trading price of our shares. Our BVI counsel, Harney Westwood & Riegels, has advised us that under BVI law, our shares are non-assessable and shareholders are not liable to us or our creditors.

The powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect to the common shares are as follows:

Our common shares have no conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common shares.

Our board of directors is authorized to issue, from time to time, one or more classes of preferred shares and, with respect to each such class, to fix by resolution the voting powers, full or limited, if any, of the shares of such class and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The authority of our board of directors with respect to the establishment of the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each class include, but is not limited to, the determination or fixing of the following:

Our shares are issued in registered form only and are freely transferable. BVI law does not impose any limitations on the rights of BVI or non-BVI residents to hold or vote our shares.

Our shares are deemed to be issued when the name of the shareholder is entered in the register of shareholders. A register of shareholders must be kept by the company and must contain the name and address of the person who holds shares, the number of each class of shares held by each shareholder, the date on which the name of each shareholder was entered in the register of shareholders and the date on which any person ceased to be a shareholder.

Pursuant to our articles of association, shares may be transferred by a written instrument of transfer signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee and, in the case of the transfer of a share that imposes a liability to the company on the transferee, the instrument of transfer must also be signed by the transferee. We are not required to treat a transferee of a share as a shareholder until the transferee’s name has been entered in the register of shareholders. Subject to the articles of association, we will, on receipt of a duly executed instrument of transfer, enter in the register of shareholders the name of the transferee of the shares.

We have appointed Icaza, Gonzalez-Ruiz & Aleman (BVI) Trust Limited as our registered agent and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC and Equity Financial Trust Company as our co-transfer agents and co-registrars.

In connection with the private placements of our common shares that took place in July 2008, June 2009, March 2010 and December 2010 and January 2011, pre-emptive rights were granted to each purchaser which entitled such purchaser to subscribe for additional common shares to maintain its pro rata interest in our company. The pre-emptive rights granted in the June 2009 and March 2010 private placements will become void as a result of this offering, upon the receipt being issued for a prospectus by a securities commission in a jurisdiction in Canada. The pre-emptive rights granted in the December 2010 and January 2011 private placement will also become void as a result of this offering. The pre-emptive rights granted in each of these offerings are void upon a transfer of the shares to which the pre-emptive rights are attached.

As the pre-emptive rights granted in the July 2008 private placement that were not voided as a result of a transfer would remain in effect after the completion of this offering, we have obtained waivers of the pre-emptive rights from all but one of our shareholders that purchased its shares in the July 2008 private placement. Pursuant to the terms of the waivers, the pre-emptive rights will be terminated upon the listing of our common shares on the NYSE. The shareholder that did not provide a waiver holds less than 0.1% of our outstanding common shares and will continue to have the benefit of its pre-emptive rights. This means that such shareholder will have the right to participate on a pro rata basis in this offering and any future offerings of our common shares, unless and until we list our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Investors who purchased our common shares in the private placement of our common shares in December 2010 and January 2011, or upon the exercise of pre-emptive rights following the December 2010 and January 2011 private placement, were granted certain liquidity rights with respect to the common shares purchased.

Pursuant to such liquidity rights, as soon as practicable following the private placement, we agreed to use our best efforts to cause one of the following liquidity transactions to occur: (i) complete an underwritten initial public offering of our common shares through the filing of a registration statement with the SEC, and the listing of our common shares on the NYSE; (ii) complete a transaction which results in such shareholders receiving our common shares listed on the NYSE; or (iii) complete a transaction pursuant to which an all-cash offer is made by a third party to our shareholders to acquire all of the common shares held by such shareholders, which transaction is accepted by shareholders resulting in a sale of more than 50% of the issued and outstanding common shares. In the event that none of the liquidity transactions described in the last sentence has occurred prior to (i) September 30, 2011, the holders of such common shares will receive, for no additional consideration, one-tenth of one common share and, if such transactions have not occurred prior to (ii) December 31, 2011, the holders of such common shares will receive, for no additional consideration, an additional one-twentieth of one common share, in each case, unless waived by holders holding at least 60% of such common shares.

Pursuant to the articles of association, shareholders may mortgage or charge their shares and upon satisfactory evidence thereof the company will give effect to the terms of any valid mortgage or charge except insofar as it may conflict with the articles of association for consent to the transfer of shares.

Where particulars of a mortgage or charge are registered, such particulars shall only be cancelled with the consent of the named mortgagee or charge or anyone authorized to act on his behalf, or upon evidence satisfactory to the board of directors of the discharge of the liability secured by the mortgage or charge and the issue of such indemnities as the board of directors shall consider necessary or desirable.

While particulars of a mortgage or charge are registered, no transfer of any share comprised therein shall be effected without the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee or anyone authorized to act on his behalf.

Pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association, we may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold our own shares, subject to applicable securities laws and subject to the following conditions:

In accordance with BVI law and our articles of association, our directors may convene meetings of the shareholders at such times and in such manner and places within or outside BVI as the directors consider necessary or desirable. The directors are required to convene a meeting of the shareholders at least once in each calendar year at which the election of directors and the appointment or re-appointment of the auditors, shall be put to a resolution of shareholders and the financial statements for the previous fiscal year shall be presented.

A resolution of shareholders is a resolution (a) approved at a duly convened and constituted meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the votes of the common shares that were present at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon and were voted and did not abstain if there is one class of shares at the time of the meeting; or (ii) a majority of the votes of each class of shares which were present at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon as a class and were voted and not abstained if there is more than one class of shares at the time of the meeting; or (b) consented to in writing by (i) all of the votes of common shares entitled to vote thereon and were voted and did not abstain if there is more than one class of shares at the time of the resolution; or (ii) all of the votes of each class of shares entitled to vote thereon as a class and were voted and not abstained if there is more than one class of shares at the time of the resolution.

Special meetings of shareholders for any purpose may be called by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors, to be held at such place, date and time as designated in the notice.

Each of our shares entitles the holder thereof to attend our annual meeting of shareholders, either in person or by proxy, to address the annual meeting of shareholders, and to exercise voting rights, subject to the provisions of our articles of association. A meeting of shareholders is properly constituted, for all purposes, if at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy shareholders entitled to exercise at least thirty per cent of the voting rights of the shares of each class of shares.

A shareholder may act at any meeting of shareholders by appointing another person as his proxy, which proxy shall be in writing substantially in the form set out in the articles of association in order to enable shareholders to exercise their right to vote. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place appointed for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote.

Our directors may fix the date notice is given of a meeting of shareholders, or such other date as may be specified in the notice, and give notice to those persons whose names on the record date appear as shareholders in the register of shareholders of the company and are to vote at the meeting, to the other directors and auditors of the company. We are required to give not less than 21 days notice of meetings of shareholders.

No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders, other than business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of our directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of our directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (c) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any of our shareholders who (i) is a shareholder of record on both (x) the date of the giving of the notice of the shareholder meeting and (y) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (ii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in the articles of association. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, such shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to our Secretary in accordance with the specific provisions set out in our articles and memorandum of association.

No action may be taken by shareholders except an annual or special meeting of shareholders called in accordance with the articles of association and no action may be taken by the shareholders by written consent without a meeting.

We may amend the memorandum of association or articles of association by a resolution of shareholders or by resolution of directors, except that no amendment may be made by resolution of directors with respect to the following matters:

Neither BVI law nor our articles of association provide for any appraisal rights of dissenting shareholders.

We may, from time to time, by a resolution of directors authorize a distribution at a time, and of an amount, and to any shareholders we think fit if the directors are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately after the distribution: (i) the value of our assets will exceed our liabilities and (ii) we will be able to pay our debts as they become due.

Distributions may be paid in money, shares or other property. Notice of any distribution that may have been authorized is to be given to each shareholder and all distributions unclaimed for three years after having been declared may be forfeited by resolution of directors. No distribution shall bear interest and no distribution shall be authorized or made on shares that we have repurchased and hold at the time of the distribution.

The management of Union Agriculture Group Corp. is vested in a board of directors. Our articles of association provide that the board must comprise at least one member and no more than twelve members. Currently our board has 8 members (see “Management”). The board meets as often as required by our interests.

Subject to any rights of the holders of any class of preferred shares, to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors are appointed for a period of three years; provided however the directors shall be elected on a staggered basis, with one-third of the directors being elected each year and provided further that such three year term may be exceeded by a period up to the annual meeting held following the third anniversary of the appointment. Directors are not required to own shares of the company.

A director may resign at any time by delivering his written resignation to the board, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by or at the pleasure of the board. The Chairman shall be Juan Sartori until his resignation. When one or more directors resigns from the board, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies and each director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place was vacated and until his successor has been duly elected.

Subject to any rights of the holders of any class of preferred shares then outstanding, once preferred shares have been authorized, (a) any director, or the entire board of directors, other than the Chairman, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of record of outstanding shares representing at least 80% of the voting power of all the shares then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class and (b) any director, other than the Chairman, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, by a resolution of directors.

We are required to keep a register of directors containing (a) the names and addresses of the persons who are directors, (b) the date on which each person whose name is entered in the register of directors was appointed as a director, (c) the date on which each person named as a director ceased to be a director and (d) such other information as may be required to be kept by the BVI Business Companies Act or regulations issued in accordance with the BVI Business Companies Act.

The directors have the power to appoint officers and agents of our company. Currently our board of directors has appointed the officers listed under “Management—Executive Officers.” Every officer or agent has such powers and authority of the directors as are set forth in the articles of association or in the resolution of directors appointing the officer or agent, except that no officer or agent has any power or authority with respect to matters requiring a resolution of directors under the BVI Business Companies Act or the articles of association.

The directors may exercise all the powers of the company to borrow money and to mortgage or change its undertakings and property or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the company or of any third party. The directors may, at any time, by power of attorney, appoint any company, firm or person or body of persons, to be the attorney or attorneys of the company for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions and for such period and subject to such conditions as they may think fit and may also authorize any such attorney or attorneys to delegate all or any powers, authorities and discretions vested in them.

The directors or any board committee may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside BVI as the directors may determine to be necessary or desirable. A meeting of directors is duly constituted for all purposes if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person not less than one-half of the total number of directors.

The directors keep (a) minutes of all meetings of directors, shareholders, committees of directors, committees of officers and committees of shareholders and (b) copies of all resolutions consented to by directors, shareholders, committees of directors, committees of officers and committees of shareholders.

Our board of directors may (but shall not be obliged to unless required by law) establish one or more committees and for which it shall, if one or more of such committees are set up, appoint the members (who may be but do not need to be board members), determine the purpose, powers and authorities as well as the procedures and such other rules as may be applicable thereto (subject as to the audit committee as set forth therein).

Each committee of directors has such powers, and authorities of the directors, as are set forth in the resolution of directors establishing the committee, except that no committee has any power or authority: (a) to amend the memorandum of association or the articles of association; (b) to designate committees of the directors; (c) to delegate powers to a committee of directors; (d) to appoint directors; (e) to appoint agents; (f) to approve a plan of merger, consolidation or arrangement; (g) to make a declaration of solvency or approve a liquidation plan; (h) to submit to the shareholders any question or matter requiring the approval of shareholders; (i) to fill a vacancy in the office of auditor; (j) to issue securities except as authorized by the directors; (k) to declare dividends; (l) to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares issued by the company; or (m) to approve any financial statements.

We expect that our board will set up an audit committee prior to the completion of this offering.

Officers of the company shall perform such duties as shall be prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by resolution of directors.

The officers of the company shall hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, but any officer elected or appointed by the directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by resolution of directors. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the company may be filled by resolution of directors.

Upon becoming aware of the fact that a director is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by us, the director of officer must disclose the interest to all of our directors.

A director or officer who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by us may not:

Directors and other officers, past and present, are entitled to indemnification from us to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and all expenses reasonably incurred by such director in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he is involved by virtue of his being or having been a director. We may purchase and maintain for any director or other officer insurance against any such liability.

The indemnification from us only applies if such person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Union Agriculture Group Corp. and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

We are not permitted to engage in any business combination with any “interested shareholder” (as defined in our memorandum and articles of association) for a period of three years following the time that such shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless:

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Union Agriculture Group Corp., the assets remaining after allowing for the payment of all liabilities will be paid out to the shareholders pro rata to their respective shareholdings. The plan of liquidation must be approved by special resolution of shareholders.

A special resolution is a resolution (a) approved at a duly convened and constituted meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of (i) not less than 66²/3% of the votes of the common shares that were present at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon and were voted and did not abstain if there is one class of shares at the time of the meeting or (ii) if any class of preferred shares is entitled to vote as a separate class, not less than 66²/3% of the votes of such preferred shares entitled to vote thereon as a class and were voted and not abstained.

We may appoint a voluntary liquidator by a resolution of shareholders or, subject to the BVI Business Companies Act, by a resolution of directors. In the event of liquidation, the plan of liquidation is required to be approved by a special resolution of shareholders.

We have appointed Icaza, Gonzalez-Ruiz & Aleman (BVI) Trust Limited as our registered agent. The co-transfer agents and co-registrars for our common shares are American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC and Equity Financial Trust Company.

We may by special resolution of shareholders continue as a company incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside BVI in the manner provided under those laws.

Upon obtaining a final receipt for our Canadian prospectus from the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada except Québec, UAG will become a reporting issuer in these provinces. UAG will also be subject to Canadian take-over bid rules and minority shareholder protection rules under applicable Canadian securities laws.

Under Canadian securities laws, if any person offers to acquire or acquires one or more voting shares of a class of a corporation and, after giving effect to such acquisition, such person would beneficially own or owns greater than 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the class, the person must, subject to certain exceptions, make the offer to all holders of the shares of the class for identical consideration. The offeror commencing the bid is required to send to each holder of the securities in Canada a takeover bid circular in prescribed form and allow the securities to be deposited under the bid for at least 35 days before taking up such securities. Once a takeover bid has been commenced, the directors of the offeree issuer are required to prepare and send a circular in a prescribed form to each holder of the securities resident in Canada evaluating the bid and advising the shareholders whether to accept or reject the bid.

Under Multilateral Instrument 61-101—Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, or MI 61-101, there are restrictions on an issuer’s ability to carry out a “related party transaction” or a “business

combination.” A related party transaction means, generally, any transaction by which an issuer, directly or indirectly consummates one or more specified transactions with a related party, including purchasing or disposing of an asset, issuing securities and assuming liabilities. Related parties include directors and senior officers of an issuer and holders of voting securities carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attaching to all issued and outstanding voting securities or of a sufficient number of securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer. A business combination includes arrangements, amalgamations and other corporate transactions involving a related party where the interest of a holder of equity securities in the issuer can be terminated without the holder’s consent. Where a business combination or related party transaction is proposed to be completed, subject to certain exceptions, MI 61-101 requires, among other things: (i) detailed disclosure in the proxy material sent to shareholders in connection with the transaction; (ii) the preparation of a formal valuation with respect to the subject matter of the transaction, and the inclusion of a summary of the valuation in the proxy materials; and (iii) approval of the transaction by a majority of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders of the issuer.

After completion of this offering we will be considered an “SEC foreign issuer” in Canada under National Instrument 71-102 – Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to Foreign Issuers. As a result, the requirements of MI 61-101 relating to related party transactions and business combinations will not apply to us if the total number of our equity securities owned directly or indirectly by residents of Canada does not exceed 20% on a diluted basis, of our total equity securities. There can be no assurance following completion of this offering that greater than 20% of our equity securities will be owned directly or indirectly by residents of Canada.

Upon completion of this offering we will have 51,167,399 common shares issued and outstanding (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option).

In connection with this offering, we have generally agreed that, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters, we will not, subject to certain exceptions, during the period commencing on the date of the underwriting agreement and ending 180 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, offer or sell any common shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common shares. However, in the event that either (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day “lock-up” period, we release earnings results or material news or a material event relating to us occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day “lock-up” period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day “lock-up” period, then in either case the expiration of the “lock-up” period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or event, as applicable, unless Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters waive, in writing, such extension.

In connection with this offering, we expect that our officers, directors and certain significant shareholders will each enter into a lock-up agreement under which they have generally agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer or sell any common shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common shares, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters, for a period of 180 days after the date of the underwriting agreement. However, in the event that either (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day “lock-up” period, we release earnings results or material news or a material event relating to us occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day “lock-up” period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day “lock-up” period, then in either case the expiration of the “lock-up” period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or event, as applicable, unless Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters waive, in writing, such extension. See “Underwriting.”

Other than this offering, we are not aware of any plans by any significant shareholders to dispose of significant numbers of our common shares. However, one or more existing shareholders may dispose of significant numbers of our common shares. We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our common shares, or the availability of common shares for future sale, will have on the market price of our common shares from time to time.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements for at least 90 days, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our “affiliates” for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at any time during 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the common shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our “affiliates,” is entitled to sell those common shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person has beneficially owned the common shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our “affiliates,” then such person is entitled to sell such common shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, our “affiliates” or persons

selling shares on behalf of our “affiliates” are entitled to sell upon expiration of the lock-up agreements described above, within any three month period beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of common shares that does not exceed the greater of:

Sales under Rule 144 by our “affiliates” or persons selling common shares on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to provisions relating to notice, manner of sale, volume limitations and the availability of current public information about us.

Under Canadian securities laws, a person who owns our common shares or a security convertible into our common shares (including options granted to our directors, officers and employees) prior to this offering, will generally be able to sell those shares, or the shares issued upon the conversion of that convertible security, in Canada without complying with the prospectus delivery requirement following the issuance of a receipt from the Canadian securities regulators for the final Canadian prospectus. Any sales of our common shares in Canada will be subject to the terms of the lock-up agreements described above. There are restrictions on the ability of “control persons” who hold our common shares to dispose of the shares they hold. A control person is any person, company or combination of persons or companies holding a sufficient number of our voting shares to affect materially the control of us, and any person, company or combination holding more than 20% of the voting rights attached to our common shares, will, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, be deemed to affect materially the control of us. Such persons may only sell in compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements under Canadian securities legislation or in accordance with an exemption from such requirements. If common shares or convertible securities are distributed by us on a prospectus-exempt basis following the issuance of a receipt for the final Canadian prospectus, those securities, or the shares issued upon the conversion of those convertible securities, may not be resold, except under a prospectus or an exemption from the prospectus requirement, until four months have passed since the issuance of the receipt for the final Canadian prospectus (and in certain cases, until four months have passed since the date on which we distributed those securities), at which time such a person will generally be able to freely sell those shares in Canada.

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) associated with the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the common shares, and to the extent it discusses matters of law and legal conclusions, constitutes the opinion of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, our U.S. counsel. This discussion does not consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or that may be relevant to certain types of U.S. Holders subject to special tax rules, including banks, financial institutions or other financial services entities, broker-dealers, dealers in securities or currencies, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts, persons who use or are required to use mark-to-market accounting, persons that hold common shares as part of a “straddle,” a “hedge” or a “conversion transaction,” persons with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, persons who directly or by attribution own at least 10% of our company’s voting power, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, and persons subject to the alternative minimum tax. This discussion also does not address any foreign, state or local tax considerations, nor does it address any U.S. federal tax considerations other than U.S. federal income tax considerations. This discussion assumes that U.S. Holders hold their common shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This discussion is based on the Code and applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, rulings, administrative pronouncements and decisions as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations at any time with possible retroactive effect. Any views expressed within this discussion are not binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, or the courts. No assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the tax consequences described herein.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of common shares that is: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds common shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships holding common shares are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors.

EACH HOLDER IS ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF COMMON SHARES.

A foreign corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either: (i) 75% or more of its gross income in a taxable year is passive income, or the income test, or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its gross assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, or the asset test. Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, certain gains from commodities and securities transactions and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income. A foreign corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation will be treated, for the purposes of

the PFIC tests described above, as if it directly held its proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation, and directly earned its proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. If a corporation were to be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder, and subsidiaries of the corporation were also PFICs, the U.S. Holder would be deemed to own its proportionate share of such subsidiary PFICs, and may be subject to the PFIC rules described herein with respect to the shares of such subsidiary PFICs that the U.S. Holder would be deemed to own.

Based upon our current activities and the projected composition of our income and assets, we may be a PFIC for the current taxable year ending June 30, 2011. A determination of our PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until the close of such taxable year and, accordingly, we cannot provide a definitive determination with respect to our PFIC status for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. We expect that we will not be treated as a PFIC once we generate sufficient income from our agricultural operations in a taxable year such that we do not satisfy the income test described above. In addition, for the purposes of the asset test described above, our PFIC status may be affected by the market price of the common shares, which is likely to fluctuate after the offering, and will also be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash raised in this offering.

As discussed below, a U.S. Holder can generally mitigate the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences described below under “—Excess Distributions” that would result if we were to be a PFIC by making a qualified electing fund election, or QEF election, with respect to our common shares and stock of any of our subsidiary PFICs that such U.S. Holder would be deemed to own in the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares. If we were to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder that made a QEF election, or a QEF Electing U.S. Holder, would be taxed currently on its proportionate share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain in any year in which we were a PFIC. If we generate a material amount of income from our agricultural operations such that we would no longer satisfy the PFIC tests described above, we would cease to be a PFIC and the QEF election would no longer require an income inclusion.

If we were to be a PFIC at any time during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares then, unless the U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election or a timely mark-to-market election (as discussed below, and subject to the limitations discussed below), any subsequent distribution by us to the U.S. Holder, or disposition of common shares by the U.S. Holder, would be subject to the adverse consequences of owning stock in a PFIC (discussed below under “—Excess Distributions”), regardless of whether we are a PFIC in the year of the distribution or disposition.

A QEF Electing U.S. Holder would be required to include currently in gross income such QEF Electing U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our annual ordinary earnings and net capital gain (but may not include any net loss) in any year in which we are a PFIC. If a QEF Electing U.S. Holder demonstrates to the satisfaction of the IRS that any amounts actually distributed on the common shares have been paid from earnings and profits that were previously included in the income of the QEF Electing U.S. Holder pursuant to a timely QEF election, then such distributions will not be taxable. A QEF Electing U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common shares will be increased by any amounts currently included in income under the QEF rules and will be decreased by any subsequent distributions from us that are treated as non-taxable distributions. Any gain or loss recognized by a QEF Electing U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares would be a capital gain or loss. Such capital gain or loss would be long-term if the QEF Electing U.S. Holder had held the common shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or other taxable disposition. Under current law, long-term capital gain of non-corporate QEF Electing U.S. Holders, including individuals, is eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

We expect to provide the PFIC Annual Information Statement required so that a QEF election can be made with respect to the common shares of the Company and any stock of our subsidiary PFICs that a U.S. Holder

would be deemed to own. The company expects to make such information available on its website, and you may also request such information in writing by contacting us at Plaza Independencia 737-11000, Montevideo, Uruguay, Attention: Evelin Alonzo, Communications, or by email at info@unionagrogroup.com. A QEF election must be made by a U.S. Holder on IRS Form 8621 before the due date (including extensions) for such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year for which the QEF election is made and, once made, will be effective for all subsequent taxable years of such U.S. Holder, unless revoked with the consent of the IRS. To enjoy the full benefits of the QEF election, a QEF election should be made for the first taxable year in which a U.S. Holder holds common shares and in which we are a PFIC.

Alternatively, a U.S. shareholder of a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to its stock if the stock is “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange.” Stock is “regularly traded” if it is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter on a qualified exchange. A qualified exchange is an exchange or other market that the IRS determines has trading, listing, financial disclosure, and other rules adequate to carry out the purposes of the mark-to-market election. The NYSE, on which the common shares are expected to be traded following the offering, should constitute a qualified exchange for this purpose. Provided that the shares are regularly traded on the NYSE, a U.S. Holder should be able to make a mark-to-market election with respect to the common shares. A U.S. Holder that made a valid mark-to-market election for its common shares would, for each taxable year in which we are a PFIC, include as ordinary income or loss the difference between the fair market value of the common shares at the end of the taxable year and the adjusted tax basis of the common shares (but loss could only be included to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). Under these rules, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common shares would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of common shares would be treated as ordinary income. A mark-to-market election should be made by filing IRS Form 8621 in the first taxable year during which the U.S. Holder held the common shares and in which we are a PFIC. A mark-to-market election would not be available with respect to a subsidiary PFIC of ours that a U.S. Holder is deemed to own for the purposes of the PFIC rules; accordingly, a U.S. Holder would not be able to mitigate certain of the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences (discussed below under “—Excess Distributions”) of its deemed ownership of stock in our subsidiary PFICs by making a mark-to-market election.

If we were to be a PFIC and a U.S. Holder does not make a timely QEF election or mark-to-market election with respect to the common shares, any “excess distribution” (generally a distribution in respect of common shares in excess of 125% of the average distributions during the preceding three taxable years or shorter holding period for the common shares) and any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common shares would be treated as ordinary income and would be subject to tax as if: (i) the excess distribution or gain had been realized ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares; (ii) the amount deemed realized in each year had been subject to tax in each such year at the highest marginal rate for such year (other than income allocated to the taxable period of the disposition and any taxable period before we became a PFIC, which would be subject to tax at the U.S. Holder’s regular ordinary income rate and would not be subject to the interest charge discussed in (iii)); and (iii) the interest charge applicable to underpayments of tax had been imposed on the taxes deemed to have been payable in those years.

If we were to be a PFIC, each U.S. Holder must file IRS Form 8621 to report any elections described above, any distributions received with respect to common shares and any gains realized with respect to common shares, and must also file such other information as the U.S. Treasury Department may require in subsequent guidance. Prospective purchasers are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the PFIC reporting requirements that would apply to them if we were to be a PFIC, as well as regarding the application of the PFIC rules to us and the availability and advisability of making a QEF election or a mark-to-market election.

Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” the gross amount of distributions made with respect to our common shares will be taxed as ordinary dividend income at the time of receipt by a U.S. Holder.

Subject to certain limitations, dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation if we are a “qualified foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and if certain holding period requirements are satisfied. A foreign corporation may be treated as a qualified foreign corporation for this purpose if its stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Our common shares are expected to be tradable on the NYSE after this offering. However, even if the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, we will not be treated as a qualified foreign corporation if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in which we pay a dividend or were a PFIC for the preceding taxable year. Dividends on the common shares will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of certain dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

Dividends will constitute foreign source income for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes, and will generally constitute “passive category income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute “general category income.” The rules governing the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on your particular circumstances. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances.

Subject to the discussion above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations,” upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of a common share, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss with respect to the common share in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such common share. Capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, with respect to common shares held for more than one year are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Gain or loss will generally be U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the U.S. foreign tax credit in their particular circumstances.

Information reporting will apply to distributions on the common shares and the proceeds of the sale, exchange or other disposition of the common shares unless a U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding will apply if a U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or fails to comply with certification procedures or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from backup withholding. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

The following is a discussion of material BVI tax considerations to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) associated with the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the common shares. Subject to the limitations herein, this discussion constitutes the opinion of Harney Westwood & Riegels, our BVI counsel.

BVI law imposes no income tax on dividends or other amounts we pay to holders of common shares who are non-residents of BVI. In addition, there is no capital gains tax, estate duty or inheritance tax applicable to any

common shares held by non-residents of BVI. Further, no stamp duty or similar duty is applicable on the issuance, transfer or redemption of the common shares.

The following is a discussion of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a purchaser who acquires, as beneficial owner, common shares pursuant to this offering and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations, collectively, the Tax Act, (i) is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada, (ii) deals with us at arm’s length, (iii) is not affiliated with us, and (iv) holds common shares as capital property (a “Canadian Holder”). Generally, common shares will be capital property to a Canadian Holder provided the Canadian Holder does not acquire or hold such common shares in the course of carrying on a business or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. Subject to the limitations herein, this discussion constitutes the opinion of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, our Canadian counsel.

This discussion is not applicable to a Canadian Holder (i) that is a “specified financial institution,” (ii) an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment,” (iii) that is a “financial institution” for purposes of the mark-to-market rules, (iv) in relation to which we are a “foreign affiliate” or (v) that reports its “Canadian tax results” in a currency other than Canadian currency, each as defined in the Tax Act. In addition, this discussion does not address the application of alternative minimum tax to Canadian Holders who are individuals.

This discussion is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, and an understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency, or the CRA, published in writing prior to the date hereof. This discussion takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”), and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This discussion does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This discussion is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Canadian Holder, and no representations with respect to the Canadian federal income tax consequences to any particular Canadian Holder are made. In addition, this discussion is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, prospective purchasers of common shares are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

Generally, for purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of common shares, including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition, must be expressed in Canadian dollars using the rate of exchange quoted by the Bank of Canada at noon on the date such amounts first arose, or such other rate of exchange as is acceptable to the CRA.

The full amount of dividends received or deemed to be received by a Canadian Holder on the common shares, including amounts deducted for foreign withholding tax, if any, will be included in computing the Canadian Holder’s income. For an individual (including a trust) the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules in the Tax Act will not be applicable. A Canadian Holder that is a corporation will not be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income.

A Canadian Holder that is throughout the relevant taxation year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 6²/3% on its “aggregate investment income” for the year, which will include such dividends.

Generally, on a disposition or deemed disposition of a common share, a Canadian Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Canadian Holder of the common share immediately before the disposition or deemed disposition. The adjusted cost base to the Canadian Holder of a common share acquired pursuant to this offering will be determined by averaging the cost of such share with the adjusted cost base of all other common shares, if any, owned by the Canadian Holder as capital property at the time of such acquisition.

Generally, a Canadian Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain, or a taxable capital gain, realized in the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Canadian Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss, or an allowable capital loss, realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Canadian Holder in the year and allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for the year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years.

Subject to the requirements and limitations in the Tax Act, a Canadian Holder may be entitled to claim a full or partial credit or a deduction in computing such Canadian Holder’s income tax liability for any withholding or other BVI income tax paid by the Canadian Holder in respect of dividends received on a common share, or any gain realized on a disposition (or deemed disposition) of a common share.

In the Canadian federal budget tabled on March 4, 2010, the Minister of Finance (Canada) announced that certain prior Proposed Amendments relating to the taxation of Canadian residents investing in certain non-resident entities, or the FIE Proposals, will not be implemented. The Minister of Finance also proposed to replace the FIE Proposals with a revised version of the current offshore investment fund property rules, which Proposed Amendments were released on August 27, 2010. The offshore investment fund property rules (as they are proposed to be amended) may, in certain circumstances, require a Canadian Holder to include an amount in income in each taxation year in respect of the acquisition and holding of common shares if the value of such common shares may reasonably be considered to be derived, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments in: (i) shares of the capital stock of one or more corporations, (ii) indebtedness or annuities, (iii) interests in one or more corporations, trusts, partnerships, organizations, funds or entities, (iv) commodities, (v) real estate, (vi) Canadian or foreign resource properties, (vii) currency of a country other than Canada, (viii) rights or options to acquire or dispose of any of the foregoing, or (ix) any combination of the foregoing. Furthermore, in order for these rules to apply to a Canadian Holder in respect of common shares, it must be reasonable to conclude that, having regard to all the circumstances (including those specified in the offshore investment fund property rules), one of the main reasons for the Canadian Holder acquiring or holding common shares was to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in assets described in (i) to (ix) above in such a manner that the taxes, if any, on the income, profits and gains from such assets for any particular year are significantly less than the tax that would have been applicable under Part I of the Tax Act if the income, profits and gains had been earned directly by the Canadian Holder.

These rules are complex and their application depends, in part, on the reasons for a Canadian Holder acquiring or holding our common shares. Canadian Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application and consequences of these rules in their own particular circumstances.

In general, a Canadian Holder that is a “specified Canadian entity” for a taxation year or fiscal period and whose total “cost amount” of “specified foreign property” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), including common shares, at any time in the taxation year or fiscal period exceeds Cdn$100,000 will be required to file an information return for the taxation year or fiscal period disclosing prescribed information.

The reporting rules in the Tax Act are complex and this discussion does not purport to explain all circumstances in which reporting may be required. Canadian Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding whether they must comply with these reporting requirements.

On the date of issue, provided that the common shares are listed at that time on a designated stock exchange (which currently includes the New York Stock Exchange), the common shares will be qualified investments under the Tax Act for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans (“RRSPs”), registered retirement income funds (“RRIFs”), registered education savings plans, deferred profit sharing plans, registered disability savings plans and tax-free savings accounts (“TFSAs”). Notwithstanding that the common shares may be a qualified investment for a trust governed by a TFSA, the holder of a TFSA will be subject to a penalty tax on the common shares held in the TFSA if such common shares are a “prohibited investment” for the TFSA. In the 2011 federal Budget, the Minister of Finance proposed amendments to the Tax Act to extend the “prohibited investment” rules to RRSPs and RRIFs (the “RRSP/RRIF Proposals”). Provided the holder of a TFSA (or, under the RRSP/RRIF Proposals, the annuitant under the RRSP or RRIF, as applicable) deals at arm’s length with us for the purposes of the Tax Act and does not have a “significant interest” (within the meaning of the Tax Act) in us or a corporation, partnership or trust that does not deal at arm’s length with us for the purposes of the Tax Act, common shares will not generally be a prohibited investment under the Tax Act.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated , 2011, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters named below, for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are acting as representatives, the following respective numbers of common shares:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, each of the underwriters has severally agreed to purchase from us the number of shares listed next to its name in the table above. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligation of the underwriters to purchase all the common shares in the offering if any are purchased by investors, other than those shares covered by the over-allotment option described below, is subject to, among other conditions, the absence of any material adverse change in our business, the delivery of certain legal opinions by our and their legal counsel in Uruguay and in the United States and certain procedures by our independent auditors. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering may be terminated. The obligations of the underwriters under the underwriting agreement may be terminated at their discretion on the basis of their assessment of the state of the financial markets and may also be terminated upon the occurrence of certain stated events.

All sales of the common shares in the United States will be made by U.S. registered broker/dealers. The common shares will also be offered for sale in Canada in each of the provinces of Canada except Québec through the Canadian broker-dealer affiliates of certain of the underwriters who are registered in such provinces. Itau BBA USA Securities Inc. will not participate in the Canadian offering.

We have granted to the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase on a pro rata basis up to additional common shares from us at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The option may be exercised only to cover any over-allotments of common shares.

The underwriters propose to offer the common shares initially at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus and to selling group members at that price less a selling concession of $ per share. The underwriters and selling group members may allow a discount of $ per share on sales to other broker/dealers. If all of the offered common shares have not been sold at the initial offering price after the underwriters have made reasonable efforts to sell the common shares at the initial offering price, the representatives may change the public offering price and concession and discount to broker/dealers. The compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for common shares is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to UAG.

Sales of common shares in Canada may be made by Canadian broker-dealer affiliates of certain of the underwriters. In the event that such sales are effected, each of Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Canada, Inc. and Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. will purchase such common shares from its respective affiliate, concurrently with and conditional upon, the closing of the purchase of the common shares by the underwriters, at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus less an amount to be mutually agreed upon between each of Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Canada, Inc. and Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. and its respective affiliate underwriter, which amount shall not exceed $ . Itau BBA USA Securities Inc. will not participate in the Canadian offering.

The following table summarizes the compensation and estimated expenses we will pay:

The representatives have informed us that the underwriters do not expect sales to accounts over which the underwriters have discretionary authority to exceed 5% of the common shares being offered.

In connection with this offering, we expect that our officers, directors and certain of our significant shareholders will each enter into a lock-up agreement under which they have generally agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer or sell any common shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common shares, without the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters, for a period of 180 days after the date of the underwriting agreement. However, in the event that either (1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day “lock-up” period, we release earnings results or material news or a material event relating to us occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day “lock-up” period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day “lock-up” period, then in either case the expiration of the “lock-up” period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or event, as applicable, unless Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the underwriters waive, in writing, such extension.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable Canadian securities laws, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in that respect.

We have been authorized to list the common shares on the NYSE under the symbol “UAGR.” The listing of the common shares will be subject to UAG fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the NYSE.

In connection with the listing of the common shares on the NYSE, the underwriters will undertake to sell round lots of 100 shares or more to a minimum of 400 beneficial owners.

The underwriters and/or their respective affiliates have provided, currently provide or may provide in the future various investment banking, commercial banking, financial advisory and/or similar services to us on a regular basis, and maintain normal business relationships with us in their capacity as credit institutions or as lenders under credit facilities, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions.

An affiliate of Itau BBA USA Securities Inc., one of the underwriters in this offering, serves as lender under our line of credit. See “Business—Material Agreements—Line of Credit.”

Pursuant to applicable rules of Canadian securities regulators and the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, or IIROC, the Canadian broker-dealer affiliates of the underwriters that will offer common shares for sale in Canada may not in Canada, throughout the period of distribution, bid for or purchase the common shares, except in accordance with certain permitted transactions, including market stabilization as described below and passive market making activities, and on the condition that the bid or purchase not be engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent active trading in, or raising the price of, the common shares.

Subject to the foregoing and applicable laws, in connection with the offering, the underwriters and their Canadian broker-dealer affiliates may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and IIROC’s Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common shares. As a result the price of our common shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more of the underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of common shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and January 2, 2008 (date of inception) and for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from January 2, 2008 through June 30, 2008

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Union Agriculture Group Corp. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and January 2, 2008 (date of inception), and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from January 2, 2008 through June 30, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Union Agriculture Group Corp. and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 and January 2, 2008 (date of inception) and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended in June 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from January 2, 2008 through June 30, 2008 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
