BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.a) Basis of preparation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of YPF for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are presented in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2018 prepared in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB and the interpretations issued by the IFRIC.

Moreover, some additional information required by the LGS and/or CNV’s regulations have been included.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors’ meeting and authorized to be issued on August 8, 2019.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the six-month period ended on June 30, 2019 are unaudited. The Company’s Management believes they have included all necessary adjustments to reasonably present the results of each period on a basis consistent with the audited annual consolidated financial statements. Loss for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2019 does not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group’s full-year loss.

2.b) Significant Accounting Policies

The most significant accounting policies are described in Note 2.b to the annual consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, except for the valuation policy for income tax detailed in Note 17.

Also, regarding IFRS 16 “Leases”, effective as of January 1, 2019, the Group has applied the guidelines of IFRS 16. See the accounting policy described below in this Note.

Functional and reporting currency

As mentioned in Note 2.b.1. to the annual consolidated financial statements, YPF has defined the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. Additionally, according to CNV Resolution No. 562, YPF must present its financial statements in Pesos.

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont.)

 

Effects of the translation of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures with the Peso as functional currency corresponding to a hyperinflationary economy

The results and financial position of subsidiaries with the Peso as functional currency were translated into U.S dollars by the following procedures: all amounts (i.e., assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity items, expenditures and revenues) were translated at the exchange rate effective at the closing date of the financial statements, except for comparative amounts, which were presented as current amounts in the financial statements of the previous fiscal year (i.e., these amounts were not adjusted to reflect subsequent variations in price levels or exchange rates). Thus, the effect of the restatement of comparative amounts was recognized in other comprehensive income.

These criteria were also implemented by the Group for its investments in associates and joint ventures.

Adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January  1, 2019

The Group has adopted all new and revised standards and interpretations, issued by the IASB, relevant to its operations which are of mandatory and effective application as of June 30, 2019, as specified in Note 2.b.26 to the annual consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned new and revised standards and interpretations that affected these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are described below:

 

 

IFRS 16 – Leases

The model introduced by this standard is based on the definition of lease, which is mainly related to the concept of control. IFRS 16 distinguishes between lease contracts and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is under the customer’s control, which exists if the customer has the right to: i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use the asset; and ii) direct the use of the asset.

The Group as lessee

Once the lease has been identified, the Group recognizes the following items:

 

 

Right-of-use assets, whose cost includes:

 

  (a)

the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

 

  (b)

any rent paid to the lessor prior to the commencement date or on the same date, after discounting any incentive received for the lease;

 

  (c)

the initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

 

  (d)

an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and eliminating the underlying asset, restoring the place where the underlying asset is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless such costs are incurred at the time of making of the inventories. The Group could incur in certain liabilities because of such costs either on the date of commencement of the term of the lease, or because of having used the underlying asset during a specified period.

Subsequently, the valuation of right-of-use of assets will be based on the cost model under IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (recognizing therefore the depreciation in a straight-line during the extension of the lease, unless another systematic basis is more representative). Deprecation is estimated by the straight-line method based on the term of each lease contract, except where the useful life of the underlying asset is shorter.

In order to assess the impairment of right-of-use assets, the Group compares their carrying value with their recoverable amount at fiscal year end, or more frequently, if there are indicators that the amount of any given asset could have suffered an impairment, grouping assets into CGU and applying the guidelines under IAS 36, which are described in Notes 2.b.8 and 2.b.9 to the annual consolidated financial statements.

Lease contracts in which the Group is the lessee mainly correspond to the lease of:

 

   

Exploitation facilities and equipment, which include equipment for installations and production equipment in reservoirs, such as drilling equipment, work-over and lifting pumps. The average term of these contracts is from three to five years, establishing minimum guaranteed payments based on the availability of these assets, and also variable payments estimated based on a rate per unit of use (Pesos per hour/day of use).

 

   

Machinery and equipment, which include:

 

  i.

equipment for natural gas compression and generation of energy. The average term of these contracts is six years, featuring minimum payments based on the available power. Variable payments are estimated on the basis of a rate per generation unit;

 

  ii.

regasification and/or gas liquefaction equipment. The average term of these contracts is from eight to ten years, establishing a minimum guaranteed payment on the basis of the availability of these assets.

 

   

Transportation equipment, including:

 

  i.

vessels and crafts for hydrocarbon transportation, whose average contract term is five years, establishing monthly guaranteed payments associated to the Group’s availability over such assets;

 

  ii.

truck fleets with average contract terms of three years, for which variable payments are estimated based on a rate per unit of use (Pesos per kilometer travelled), featuring in some cases minimum payments associated to the availability of such assets.

 

   

Gas station lands and facilities, with average contract terms of 20 years and for which payments are determined based on a given quantity of fuel.

 

   

Land and buildings which include mainly:

 

  i.

a reservoir and the land necessary to mount the surface installations necessary for the underground storage of natural gas, whose contract lasts for four years, for which there are minimum guaranteed quotas;

 

  ii.

permits for the use of ports and land, for which there are minimum guaranteed quotas.

 

 

Lease liabilities, measured as the aggregate amount of future lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, considering the complexity of determining the implicit interest rate in the lease. The Group applied the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate to the lease liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position of the initial date of each contract.

Lease liabilities include:

 

  (a)

fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments), less any lease incentive receivable;

 

  (b)

variable payments, which depend on an index or a rate, initially measured by using the index or rate on the effective date of the contract;

 

  (c)

amounts that the lessee expects to pay as residual value guarantees;

 

  (d)

the price for the exercise of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

 

  (e)

payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease period reflects that the Group will exercise an option to terminate it (i.e., because there is a reasonable certainty thereon).

Subsequently, the Group increases the lease liability to reflect the accrued interest (and recognized in the comprehensive income statement), deducts the installments that are being paid from such liability and recalculates the book value to reflect any review, amendment to the lease or review of the so-called “in-substance” fix payments, by applying a revised discount rate, if applicable.

The Group revises the lease liability in the following cases:

 

  (a)

when there is a change in the amount expected to be paid under a residual value guarantee;

 

  (b)

when there is a change in future rental payments to reflect the variation of an index or an interest rate used to determine such rental payments (including, for example, a market rent review);

 

  (c)

when there is a change in the term of duration of the lease as a result of a change in the non-cancellable period of the lease (for example, if the lessee does not exercise an option previously included in the determination of the lease period); or

 

  (d)

when there is a change in the evaluation of the purchase option of the underlying asset.

The Group recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for 23,059 on January 1, 2019 in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of future payments.

The implementation of this standard had no effect on retained earnings as the Group applied the simplified model without restating any comparative figures, recognizing a right-of-use asset equal to the lease liability on the initial transition date (January 1, 2019). There were no adjustments to be made due to the impairment arising from the provision for onerous contracts related to these right-of-use assets.

With regard to short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, the Group continues recognizing them as expense for the period, in accordance with the option specified in the standard. The Group did not identify any low-value leases other than those whose underlying asset corresponds to printers, cell phones, computers, photocopiers, among others, which are not material. Variable payments of leases related to the return/use of the underlying asset are subject to the same accounting treatment. Payments of short-term leases, low-value leases and the variable charge related to the return/use of the underlying assets are classified in the statement of cash flows in operating activities, except for those which are capitalized, which are classified as cash used in investing activities.

The Group applied a practical solution to the standard whereby leases expiring within the term of 12 months from the date of the initial application, regardless of the original date, and which comply with the conditions to be classified as short-term leases, follow the treatment described in the previous paragraph. The total charges against comprehensive income for the period and total capitalizations for these leases amount to 1,826. These new contracts might generate right-of-use assets and lease liabilities disclosed in the statement of financial position.

The Group as lessor

Under IFRS 16, the lessor is required to classify the lease as either operating or financial. A financial lease is a lease in which substantially all of the risks and benefits resulting from the ownership of an asset are transferred. A lease will be classified as operating if it does not transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits resulting from the ownership of an underlying asset.

The classification of the lease is made on the date in which the agreement becomes effective and is evaluated again only if there is an amendment to the lease. Changes in estimates (such as changes in the economic life or residual value of the underlying asset) or changes in circumstances (such as default by the lessee) will not result in a new classification of the lease for accounting purposes.

The Group does not have any significant assets leased to third parties.

2.c) Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires Management to make estimates and assessments affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded, contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the period. Actual future results might differ from the estimates and assessments made as of the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, significant estimates and judgments were made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were consistent with those applied by the Group in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, which are disclosed in Notes 2.b and 2.c to the annual consolidated financial statements, about accounting estimates and judgments.

Provisions for impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

As explained in Notes 2.b.8 and 2.b.9 to the annual consolidated financial statements, as a general criteria, the methodology used in estimating the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets mainly consists in calculating the value in use, based on the expected future cash flows from the use of such assets, discounted at a rate reflecting the weighted average cost of capital employed.

Regarding interim periods, IAS 34 requires entities to reassess the impairment testing. When an entity has previously recognized impairment losses, it is necessary to review the detailed calculations made at the end of the period if the indicators that gave rise to such losses continues to remain present. To such end, the entity shall revise the existence of significant indicators of impairment or impairment reversals since the end of the last fiscal year and determine whether or not it has to proceed with such detailed testing.

The Group continuously monitors business perspectives in the markets it operates. In the gas market, specifically, production has increased at world level as a result of the higher demand in the United States and China, due to the substitution of coal by gas as source of energy. Such increase in production was mainly led by the United States’ demand for gas associated to shale oil projects, a situation which might alter decisions in terms of gas development in such country, taking also into account the export potential of LNG. In the domestic market, same as in 2018, there is an excess supply of gas, due to the higher production in unconventional fields in relation to the domestic demand at specific times of the year, an infrequent situation in the past which has had an impact on natural gas production through the temporary shut-down of production at certain sites, as well as through gas reinjection.

The Group has assessed the behavior of the relevant variables used to estimate expected future cash flows, which had mixed effects, mainly arising from changes both in external factors and in the country’s domestic factors (including, but not limited to, changes in the behaviour of the domestic supply and demand of natural gas and its potential impact on market terms; eventual changes of Dollar denominated costs and their impact on operating costs, investments and reserves; the status of the process for implementing the market conditions related to the international parity given the aforementioned events both for fuels and crude oil prices; changes in country risk and their effect in the borrowing cost). Based on the above, the Company concluded that, given the volatility of the variables involved and the present uncertainty, it is not possible to determine, with reasonable assurance, that the eventual changes might give rise to indicators affecting the projections of long-term cash flows on which the recoverable value of the Upstream segment’s CGUs at the end of this period are based.

2.d) Comparative information

Amounts and other information corresponding to the year ended on December 31, 2018 and to the six-month period ended on June 30, 2018 are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements and are intended to be read only in relation to these financial statements.

 

3.

SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

Historically, the Group’s results have been subject to seasonal fluctuations throughout the year, particularly as a result of the increase in natural gas sales during the winter. After the devaluation of the Peso in 2002, and as a consequence of the natural gas price freeze imposed by the Argentine government, the use of natural gas has been diversified, generating an increase in demand throughout the entire year. However, recently, an excess of supply with respect to the domestic demand took place at specific times of the year. Consequently, the Group may be subject to seasonal fluctuations in its sales volumes and prices, which might adversely affect the level of production and sales of natural gas.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

 

 

Assignment of interest in the Bajo del Piche, Barranca de Los Loros, El Medanito and El Santiagueño areas

On February 11, 2019, the Executive Branch of the Province of Rio Negro published Decree No. 1677/18 authorizing the sale of 100% of the exploitation concession over the areas known as Bajo del Piche, Barranca de los Loros, El Santiagueño and El Medanito. As a result of this sale, the Group recorded a gain of 1,523 included in “Other net operating results”.

 

 

Acquisition of Aguada del Chañar area

On June 25, 2019, YPF received a notice from IEASA informing YPF was awarded of the National and International Public Tender No. ADCH 01/2019, related to the assignment by IEASA of 100% of the conventional and unconventional exploitation, and transportation concession granted on the Aguada del Chañar area, located in the Province of Neuquén, together with all its assets and facilities. YPF was awarded of such Public Tender with a US$ 96 million bid.

On June 28, 2019, Decree No. 1096/2019 was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Neuquén, authorizing such assignment. On the same date, IEASA and YPF signed the final agreements and perfected the assignment. In consideration of the above, the Group recorded the exploratory mining property for 4,055 in “Intangible Assets”.

 

 

Acquisition of Ensenada de Barragán Thermal Power Plant

On May 29, 2019, the Company received a notice from IEASA informing that YPF and Pampa Cogeneración S.A., a company controlled by Pampa Energía S.A. (“Pampa”), were awarded of the National and International Public Tender No. CTEB 02/2019, pursuant to their joint offer, which was called by Resolution No. 160/19 issued by the Secretariat of Energy (the “Tender Process”), in relation to the sale and transfer by IEASA of the goodwill of Ensenada de Barragán Thermal Power Plant (“CTEB”). The awarded companies decided to jointly acquire the CTEB, through CT Barragán, a company co-owned by them, each with a 50% share in the capital stock and votes.

The CTEB is located in the petrochemical complex of Ensenada, Province of Buenos Aires, with an installed capacity of 560 MW as of today. As part of the transaction, the acquiring companies will have a term of 30 months to complete the works required for the CTEB to operate on a combined cycle basis, which will increase its installed capacity to 840 MW.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS (Cont.)

 

Energy supply agreements with CAMMESA in respect of both the open and closed cycles have been entered into, pursuant to Resolution SE N°220/07. The first agreement was executed on March 26, 2009 (expiring in April 27, 2022), and the second on March 26, 2013 (for a term of 10 years from the commercial operation of the combined cycle).

The joint investment for the acquisition of the CTEB amounts to US$ 282 million, which includes the final cash amount offered in the Tender Process, and the purchase price of certain amount of debt securities (“VRDs”) issued under the supplemental agreement to the global financial and administration trust program for the execution of energy infrastructure projects – Series 1 – ENARSA (Barragán) “Contrato suplementario del programa global de fideicomisos financieros y de administración para la ejecución de obras de infraestructura energética -Serie 1- ENARSA (Barragán)” (the “Trust Agreement”). The price is subject to certain adjustments provided for in the terms and conditions of the Tender Process.

The acquisition of the goodwill of the CTEB also includes the assignment of the Trust Agreement to CT Barragán, as trustor under the trust. The VDR debt under the Trust Agreement (excluding the VDRs to be acquired by the CT Barragán) amounts to approximately US$ 229 million, which is expected to be repaid with cash flows from the CTEB.

On June 26, 2019 the sale and transfer by IEASA of the goodwill of the CTEB to CT Barragán was formally executed. Each shareholder made a capital contribution of U$S 100 million to CT Barragán, which also received a loan for US$ 170 million from a bank syndicate and a new schedule of payments and conditions of the CTEB existing trust whose amendments are subject to the approval of the relevant authorities. In both cases, without recourse to shareholders, except in the event of default of certain conditions.

CT Barragán entered into an agreement with Pampa and YPF EE for the provision of administration and management services to the CTEB, which will be provided alternately by Pampa and YPF EE for 4-year terms. CT Barragán also entered into an agreement with YPF EE for the provision of monitoring services of the works for the CTEB’s cycle closing.

Given the recent execution of the transaction, the estimation of the fair values of the main assets and liabilities identified, as well as their initial recognition by CT Barragán is provisional and subject to the completion of the procedures for the analysis of the accounting, fiscal and contractual information.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risks), credit risk and liquidity risk. Within the Group, risk management functions are conducted in relation to financial risks associated to financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during a certain period or as of a specific date.

There have been no significant changes in the risk management or risk management policies applied by the Group since the last fiscal year end. See Note 4 to the annual consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2019, the Group operated forward contracts (US Dollars – Swiss Francs), which did not have any significant impact on the comprehensive statement of income. See Notes 7 and 26.

Moreover, in relation to the initial application of IFRS 16 “Leases”, see Note 18.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The different segments in which the Group is organized take into consideration the different activities from which the Group obtains income and incurs expenses. The aforementioned organizational structure is based on the way in which the highest decision-making authority analyzes the main financial and operating magnitudes for making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment also considering the Group’s business strategy.

 

 

Upstream

The Upstream segment carries out all activities relating to the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.

Revenue is generated from (i) the sale of produced crude oil to the Downstream segment and, marginally, from its sale to third parties; and (ii) the sale of produced gas to the Gas and Power segment.

 

 

Gas and Power

The Gas and Power segment generates its revenue from the development of activities relating to: (i) the natural gas commercialization to third parties and the Downstream segment, (ii) the commercial and technical operation of LNG regasification terminals in Bahía Blanca (until October 31, 2018) and Escobar, by hiring two regasification vessels, and (iii) the natural gas distribution.

Additionally, for the three-month term ended March 31, 2018, it included revenues derived from the generation of conventional and renewable electricity corresponding to YPF EE. See Note 3 to the annual consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the proceeds derived from the sale of natural gas to third parties and the other segments, which is then recognized as a “purchase” to the Upstream segment, and including the Stimulus Plans for Natural Gas production in force (see Note 30.g to the annual consolidated financial statements), Gas and Power accrues a fee charge to the Upstream segment to carry out such commercialization.

 

 

Downstream

The Downstream segment develops activities relating to: (i) crude oil refining and petrochemical production, (ii) commercialization of refined and petrochemical products obtained from such processes, and (iii) logistics related to the transportation of crude oil and gas to refineries and the transportation and distribution of refined and petrochemical products to be marketed in the different sales channels.

It obtains its income from the marketing mentioned in item (ii) above, which is developed through the Retail, Industry, Aviation, Agro, LPG, Chemicals and Lubricants and Specialties businesses.

It incurs in all expenses relating to the aforementioned activities, including the purchase of crude oil from the Upstream segment and third parties and the natural gas to be consumed in the refinery and petrochemical industrial complexes from the Gas and Power segment.

 

 

Central Administration and Others

It covers other activities, not falling into the aforementioned categories, mainly including corporate administrative expenses and assets and construction activities.

Sales between business segments were made at internal transfer prices established by the Group, which generally seek to approximate market prices.

Operating profit and assets for each segment have been determined after consolidation adjustments.

The Group has no financial liabilities measured at fair value.

Fair value estimates

From December 31, 2018 until June 30, 2019, there have been no significant changes in the commercial or economic circumstances affecting the fair value of the Group’s assets and financial liabilities, whether measured at fair value or amortized cost.

Furthermore, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, there were no transfers between the different hierarchies used to determine the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

The Group uses a range of valuation models to measure instruments of levels 2 and 3, which are described below. In the absence of available quoted prices in an active market, the fair values (mainly of derivative financial instruments) are based on recognized valuation methods.

Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

The estimated fair value of loans, considering unadjusted listed prices (Level 1) for NO and interest rates offered to the Group (Level 3) for the other financial loans remaining, amounted to 371,169 and 293,972 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The fair value of other receivables, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, other liabilities and lease liabilities do not differ significantly from their book values.

Transportadora de Gas del Norte S.A. (“TGN”)

On April 5, 2019, the Second Chamber of the National Court of Appeals in Federal Civil and Commercial matters revoked the decision of the Lower Court and ordered that each party should bear its own costs, as it considered that YPF does not sustain any damages, since that benefit granted was only limited to the payment of the Court’s fees.

Dispute over the cost deduction for well abandonment

With respect to the dispute over the cost deduction for wells abandonment, which is described in further detail in Notes 28.b.4 and 30.j. to the annual consolidated financial statements, it should be noted that AFIP’s General Resolution No. 4434/2019, published in the Official Gazette on March 1, 2019, established a payment facility plan in relation to the tax liabilities being heard at the Fiscal Tribunal of the Nation ( Tribunal Fiscal de la Nación ), whose adherence expired on June 30, 2019.

Additionally, AFIP’s General Resolution No. 4477/2019, published in the Official Gazette on May 6, 2019, established a new payment facility plan, whose availability for adherence expires on August 31, 2019, with the option of adhering from May 15 to June 25 in more favorable conditions. Even though both plans included an advance payment and payment terms of up to five years, the latter offered better financing conditions.

The Company’s Management, based on the opinion of its external advisors, and notwithstanding the technical merits for defending its position, evaluated the aforementioned payment facility plans and finally, on June 19, 2019, adhered to the Plan established by General Resolution RG No. 4477/2019 for an amount of 5,734, thus finally settling the controversy corresponding to periods 2005 to 2010 which was being heard at the Fiscal Tribunal of the Nation.

INCOME TAX

According to IAS 34, income tax expense is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the effective income tax rate expected as of year-end. Amounts calculated for income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 may need to be adjusted in the subsequent period if, based on new factors of judgment, the estimate of the effective expected income tax rate changes.

The calculation of the income tax expense accrued for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

(3)

Includes effect for inflation adjustment for tax purposes.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there are no significant deferred tax assets which are not recognized.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Group has classified as deferred tax assets 508 and 301, respectively, and as deferred tax liability 95,678 and 91,125, respectively, all of which arise from the net deferred tax balances of each of the separate companies included in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the transactions that generate entries to “Other comprehensive income”, did not create temporary differences for income tax.

Law No. 27,468, published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018, established that the inflation adjustment procedure for taxation purposes will be applicable for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2018. In the first, second and third fiscal year since it became effective, this procedure shall be applicable if the variation in the CPI, estimated from the beginning to the end of each of those years exceeds 55%, 30% and 15%, for the first, second and third year of application, respectively. Considering CPI projections for December 31, 2019, the Group has applied the inflation adjustment procedure for taxation purposes in its estimation of the annual effective rate.

CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Cont.)

 

On the other hand, on February 28, 2019, the Company filed a complaint in Spain against Petersen and Prospect Investments LLC (“Burford”) seeking the definition of the legal nature of the agreement that was subscribed by Burford and Petersen’s Trustee in Bankruptcy. Such complaint was notified to Burford, which – upon filing its answer- submitted a motion for the case to be referred to the Court in which Petersen’s liquidation is being heard. As YPF objected to the motion, the case was referred to the District Attorney for him to issue an opinion prior to the Court’s decision. On July 29, 2019, the Court decided that the case must be processed before the Court that intervened in Petersen’s liquidation. Such decision will be appealed by the Company.

As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, there are no elements in YPF’s possession that allow quantifying the possible impact that this claim could have on the Company.

The Company categorically rejects the claims asserted in the complaint for being inadmissible and will file all necessary legal remedies and take all defensive measures in accordance with the applicable legal procedure in order to defend its rights.

 

 

Eton Park Capital Management, L.P., Eton Park Master Fund, LTD. y Eton Park Fund, L.P. (jointly referred to as “Eton Park”)

In response to the presentations made in April 2019 by the Company and the Argentine Republic in the Petersen Case and the suspension of the process ruled by the Court, the procedural terms of Eton Park case was also on hold until the Supreme Court of Justice issued in relation to the writ of certiorari.

On June 25, 2019, Eton Park submitted a letter to the District Court requesting the Court to lift the suspension of the procedural terms and to set a date for the hearing prior to the motion for the admission of a Summary Judgment.

On June 26, 2019, the Court called Eton Park to a hearing to be held on July 11, 2019 in the Petersen case.

On July 3, 2019, YPF filed a brief opposing to Eton Park’s motion for the case to be subject to a summary process requesting that the suspension of procedural terms remain in place until the Court hearing Peteresen’s case resolved the motions filed by the defendants in such case.

On July 11, 2019, the hearing ordered by the Judge in the Petersen case was held, where Eton Park also participated. At the hearing, it was decided in relation to Eton Park’s case, that the Court would soon issue an order establishing the schedule for such judicial process.

On July 23, 2019, Petersen, Eton Park, the Argentine Republic and YPF filed a joint petition proposing a schedule for the Argentine Republic and YPF to file their motions for complaint dismissal based on the principle of “forum non conveniens”, and for both Petersen and Eton Park to be able to file their objections thereto.

On July 24, 2019, the Judge accepted the schedule proposed by the parties and resolved that the procedural terms were suspended until the motions for complaint dismissal on the grounds of “forum non conveniens” are resolved.

As of the date of these financial statements, there are no factors that YPF can use to quantify the possible impact that this claim might have on the Company.

The Company categorically rejects the claims asserted in the complaint for being inadmissible and will file all necessary legal remedies and take all defensive measures in accordance with the applicable legal procedure in order to defend its rights.

31.a.2) Tax Claims

 

 

Dispute over customs duties

In relation to the dispute over customs duties, judgments have been rendered by the same Court of Appeals and Chamber of Appeals and also in other cases heard by Chambers II, III and V, where the same fine is under dispute, condoning the fine.
