This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common
Stock, with a Ps. 1 nominal (par) value (one Argentine peso) (the "Shares"), of
IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones S.A. (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 4
supplementally amends the Initial Statement on Schedule 13D dated December 29,
1997 and all subsequent amendments thereto (collectively, the "Initial
Statement") filed by the Reporting Persons. This Amendment No. 4 on Schedule 13D
is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report that as a result of the recent
dispositions of Shares of the Issuer, the number of Shares of which certain of
the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owners has decreased by more
than one percent of the total number of outstanding Shares. Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Initial Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Statement is being filed on behalf of each of the following
persons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"):
i) Geosor Corporation ("Geosor");
ii) Soros Fund Management LLC ("SFM LLC");
iii) George Soros ("Mr. Soros"); and
iv) Stanley F. Druckenmiller ("Mr. Druckenmiller").
This Statement relates to Shares held for the accounts of Geosor
and Quantum Realty. Updated information concerning the Managing Directors of SFM
LLC is set forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Geosor expended approximately $3,731,300 of its working capital
to purchase the securities reported herein as being acquired since July 10, 1998
(the date of filing of the last statement on Schedule 13D).
The Shares held for the accounts of Geosor, Quantum Realty and/or
other SFM Clients may be held through margin accounts maintained with brokers,
which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in
their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock
exchange rules and such firms' credit policies. The Shares which may be held in
the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of
debit balances in the respective accounts.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) (i) Geosor may be deemed the beneficial owner of the
21,871,586 Shares held for its account, which includes 2,123,157 GDSs
(approximately 11.46% of the total number of Shares outstanding).
(ii) Each of SFM LLC and Mr. Druckenmiller may be deemed the
beneficial owner of the 10,555,889 Shares held for the account of Quantum
Realty, which includes 987,940 GDSs, (approximately 5.53% of the total number of
Shares outstanding).
<PAGE>
Page 7 of 10 Pages
(iii) Mr. Soros may be deemed the beneficial owner of
32,427,475 Shares (approximately 16.99% of the total number of Shares
outstanding). This number consists of: (A) the 21,871,586 Shares held for the
account of Geosor and (B) the 10,555,889 Shares held for the account of Quantum
Realty.
(b) (i) Pursuant to the contract between Quantum Realty and SFM
LLC, SFM LLC may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting and
disposition of the 10,555,889 Shares held for the account of Quantum Realty.
(ii) Pursuant to the contract between Quantum Realty and SFM
LLC and as a result of the positions held by Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller
with SFM LLC, each of Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller may be deemed to have
shared power to direct the voting and disposition of the 10,555,889 Shares held
for the account of Quantum Realty.
(iii) Each of Geosor and Mr. Soros (as the sole shareholder
and person ultimately in control of Geosor) may be deemed to have the sole power
to direct the voting and disposition of the 21,871,586 Shares held for the
account of Geosor.
(c) Except for the transactions disclosed on Annex B hereto, all
of which were effected on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange in routine brokerage
transactions, there have been no transactions with respect to the Shares since
July 10, 1998 (the date of filing of the last statement on Schedule 13D) by any
of the Reporting Persons or Quantum Realty.
(d) (i) The shareholders of Quantum Realty have the right to
participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares held for the account of Quantum Realty in accordance with their ownership
interests in Quantum Realty.
(ii) The shareholder of Geosor has the right to participate
in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held
for the account of Geosor.

The information set forth above excludes 642,907 Shares held for
the account of Quantum Dolphin Limited ("Quantum Dolphin"), an Isle of Man
corporation. Geosor, certain SFM clients and certain Managing Directors of SFM
LLC are shareholders of Quantum Dolphin. Gary Gladstein serves as a director of
Quantum Dolphin and of the Issuer. An affiliate of SFM LLC (the "Affiliate") has
entered into an arrangement with Consultores Asset Management, S.A.
("Consultores"), the manager of Quantum Dolphin, whereby it provides
non-discretionary consulting services to Consultores. Pursuant to such
arrangement, the Affiliate does not have the authority to make any management or
investment decisions for Quantum Dolphin or Consultores. The Reporting Persons
understand that pursuant to a separate arrangement, Consultores may be deemed to
have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to Quantum Dolphin's
investment in the Shares.
Each of SFM LLC and Mr. Druckenmiller expressly disclaims
beneficial ownership of any Shares not held for the account of Quantum Realty
and/or other SFM Clients. Geosor expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any
Shares not held for its account. Mr. Soros expressly disclaims beneficial
ownership of any Shares not held for the accounts of Quantum Realty, other SFM
Clients and/or Geosor.
