YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA AND CONTROLLED COMPANIES

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015 and comparative information

(amounts expressed in millions of Argentine Pesos, except shares and per share amounts expressed in Argentine Pesos,

and as otherwise indicated – Note 1.b)

1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.a) Basis of preparation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of YPF S.A. (hereinafter “YPF” or the “Company”) and its controlled companies (hereinafter and all together, the “Group”) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) No. 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) was determined by the Technical Resolution No. 26 (ordered text) issued by Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”) and the Regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”). Also, some additional information required by the Law 19,550 of Argentine Corporations and /or regulations of the CNV, was included. Such information was included in the Notes to the mentioned condensed interim consolidated financial statements only to comply with regulatory requirements.

These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as of December 31, 2014 (“the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements”) prepared in accordance with IFRS.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors’ meeting and authorized to be issued on August 5, 2015.

These Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements corresponding to the six month period ended on June 30, 2015 are unaudited. Management believes they include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of each period on a consistent basis with the annual consolidated financial statements. Results for the six month period ended on June 30, 2015 do not necessarily reflect the proportion of the Group’s full-year results.

1.b) Significant Accounting Policies

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 of the Group as of December 31, 2014, except for the valuation policy for Income Tax detailed in Note 6.i). The most significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to such annual consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, revenue recognition treatment given by the Group for incentive scheme is described below.

Revenue recognition for incentive scheme

The incentives for additional natural gas injection (see Note 11.c to the annual consolidated financial statements) and the crude oil production (see Note 11.c), issued by the Comisión de Planificación y Coordinación Estratégica del Plan Nacional de Inversiones Hidrocarburíferas (“Strategic Planning and Coordination Commission of the National Hydrocarbon Investment Plan”) by Resolutions No. 1/2013 and No. 14/2015, respectively, fall within the scope of IAS 20 “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance” because they consist of an economic compensation for companies committed to increasing their productions.

Moreover, the temporary economic assistance received by Metrogas S.A. ordered by the Argentine Energy Secretariat in Resolution No. 263/2015 (see Note 11.c) is also contemplated under this standard, because it is intended to cover costs and investments related to the normal operation of the provision of the natural gas distribution public service by preserving the chain of payments to natural gas producers until completion of the Tariff Review.

Such revenues are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the incentives will be received and the conditions related to them are met.

Production incentives have been included in “Revenues” in the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, while the temporary economic assistance has been included under the category “Other operating results, net”.

New issued standards

The standards, interpretations and related amendments published by the IASB and endorsed by the FACPCE and the CNV which have been applied by the Group as from the year beginning on January 1, 2015, are the following:

 

  -

Annual improvements to IFRS (2010-2012 cycle) modify several standards, including amendments to IAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment), IAS 24 (Related Party Disclosures), IAS 38 (Intangible Assets), IFRS 2 (Shared-based Payment), IFRS 3 (Business Combinations), IFRS 8 (Operating Segments) and IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement).

 

  -

Annual improvements to IFRS (2011-2013 cycle) modify several standards, including amendments to IAS 40 (Investment Property), IFRS 1 (First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards), IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) and IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement).

The aforementioned adoption of standards, interpretations and related amendments did not have significant impact on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Functional and reporting currency

As it was mentioned in Note 1.b.1 to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements YPF has defined the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. In addition, according to General Resolution No. 562 of the CNV, YPF shall submit its financial statements in Argentine Pesos.

1.c) Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements at a certain date requires the 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 at the date of preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In the preparation of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the main sources of uncertainty were the same as those applied by the Group in the preparation of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are disclosed in Note 1.c) related to accounting estimates and judgements to those financial statements.

1.d) Comparative information

Amounts and other information corresponding to the year ended on December 31, 2014 and to the six-month and three-month period ended on June 30, 2014, are an integral part of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements previously mentioned and are intended to be read only in relation to these statements. Certain reclassifications have been made in order to present amounts comparatively with the current period.

2. SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS

Historically, the Group results have been subject to seasonal fluctuations during the year, particularly as a result of the increase of natural gas sales during the winter. After the 2002 devaluation and as a consequence of the natural gas price freeze imposed by the Argentine government, the use of this fuel has been diversified, generating an increase of its demand throughout the entire year. However, sales of natural gas are still typically higher in the winter to the residential sector of the Argentine domestic market, which prices are lower than other sectors of the Argentine market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on February 14, 2013, Resolution 1/2013 of the Planning and Strategic Coordination Commission of the National Plan of Hydrocarbon Investments (the “Commission”) was published in the Official Gazette. This Resolution formally creates the “Natural Gas Additional Injection Stimulus Program.” Under this regulation, gas producing companies were invited to file with the Commission before June 30th, 2013 projects to increase natural gas injection, in order to receive an increased price of U.S.$7.50/mmBtu for all additional natural gas injected.

These projects shall comply with minimum requirements established in Resolution 1/2013, and will be subject to consideration approval by the Commission, including a maximum term of five years, renewable at the request of the beneficiary, upon decision of the Commission. If the beneficiary company in a given month does not reach the committed production increase it will have to make up for such volumes not produced. During 2014, the natural gas pricing program was incorporated into the Hydrocarbons Law, as modified by Law No. 27,007. In view of the foregoing, seasonality of the Group operations is not significant.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

On May 7, 2015 the transfer by Repsol Butano S.A. to YPF of shares representing the 33.997% of the capital of YPF Gas S.A. was effective as well as the transfer from Repsol Trading S.A. to YPF of the 17.79% of the capital of Oleoducto Trasandino Chile. The transaction was for a total amount of 161. Considering the recent occurence of such transaction, both the estimation of the fair values of the main identified assets and liabilities of the acquired companies and the initial investment accounting are provisional and subject to the completion of the analysis of the accounting, tax and contractual information of the acquired companies.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

4.a. Financial Risk

The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risk: market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures on financial risk management; therefore they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

There have been no changes in the risk management or risk management policies applied by the Group since the end of last year.

4.b. Fair value measurements

IFRS 9 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a financial liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 7. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels.

In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the Group can refer to at the end of the period. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. Financial instruments assigned by the Group to this level comprise investments in listed mutual funds, which results for the six-month periods ended on June 30, 2015 and 2014, are disclosed under “Interest income” in the condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

In the case of Level 2, fair value is determined by using valuation methods based on inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market. If the financial instrument concerned has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. The Group has not valued financial instruments under this category.

In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group has not valued financial instruments under this category.

The Company’s Finance Division has a team in place in charge of estimating valuation of financial assets required to be reported in the financial statements, including the fair value of Level-3 instruments. The team directly reports to the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). The CFO and the valuation team discuss the valuation methods and results upon the acquisition of an asset and, if necessary, on a quarterly basis, in line with the Group’s quarterly reports.


Table of Contents

10

 

According to the Group’s policy, transfers among the several categories of valuation hierarchies are recognized when occurred, or when there are changes in the prevailing circumstances requiring the transfer.

Between December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, there have been no significant changes in business or economic circumstances affecting the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities (either measured at fair value or amortized cost).

In addition, no transfer has occurred among the different hierarchies used to determine the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments.

4.c. 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 Negotiable Obligations and interest rates offered to the Group (Level 3) in connection with the remainder of loans, at the end of the period or year, as applicable, amounted to 73,047 and 53,108 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The fair value of the following financial assets and financial liabilities do not differ significantly from their book value:

 

  -

Other receivables

  -

Trade receivables

  -

Cash and equivalents

  -

Accounts payable

  -

Provisions

  -

Dividends payable

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

6.i) 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 the year-end. Amounts calculated for income tax expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 may have to be adjusted in subsequent periods if, based on new judgement elements, the estimate of the effective expected income tax rate changes.

The reconciliation of pre-tax income included in the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, at the statutory tax rate, to the income tax as disclosed in the condensed interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is as follows:

8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On April 30, 2015, the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ meeting was held, which has approved the financial statements of YPF for the year ended December 31, 2014 and additionally decided the following in relation with the distribution of earnings of fiscal year ended as of December 31, 2014: (i) to appropriate the amount of 120 to a reserve for future acquisition of YPF shares under the “performance and bonus program” mentioned in the Director’s report of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2014, giving to the Board of Directors the opportunity to acquire shares when it considers it convenient and to comply with the commitments assumed and to be assumed in relation with the mentioned program; (ii) to appropriate the amount of 8,410 to constitute a reserve for investment in accordance with the article 70, third paragraph of the Law No. 19,550 of Argentine Corporations as amended; and (iii) the appropriation to a reserve for future dividends in an amount of 503, empowering the Board of Directors to determine the opportunity of payment which should not exceed the end of the present fiscal year. On June 8, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to pay a dividend of 1.28 per share, for an amount of 503, which was available to shareholders on July 28, 2015.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, YPF has not issued equity instruments that give rise to potential ordinary shares (considering the Company’s intention of setting the share based benefit plans through treasury shares purchase), as a result, the calculation of diluted earnings per share coincides with the basic earnings per share.

Developments during the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, concerning more significant pending lawsuits and contingencies are described below.

 

-

With respect to arbritation with AES Uruguaiana Emprendimientos S.A. (“AESU”), on April 24, 2015, the Arbitration Tribunal resolved to resume the arbitration process and invited the parties to discuss the continuation of arbitration and to file with the Arbitration Tribunal a joint or separate proposal on steps to be followed. Such decision was notified by YPF to the Federal Court of Appeals hearing Administrative Litigation matters on April 27, 2015, since the precautionary measure suspending the arbitration process ordered by the latter is still in force. On June 22, 2015 the Arbitration Tribunal proposed to conduct the evidentiary hearings concerning damages stage on November 16 and 17, 2015.

 

-

With regard to the Removal Action for the Mile 10.9 of the Passaic River, the Focused Feasibility Study (“FFS”) published on April 11, 2014 provided that Phase II of the removal action shall be implemented in a consistent manner with such FFS. On September 18, 2014, EPA requested that Tierra Solutions, Inc. (“TS”) submit a work plan to conduct additional sampling of the Phase II area. Such sampling was completed in the first quarter of 2015, and it is anticipated that TS will submit the validated results to the US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) during the third quarter of 2015.

 

-

In relation to the Passaic River litigation initiated by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) against YPF, YPF Holding Inc. and other subsidiaries on alleged contamination caused by dioxin and other hazardous substances from Newark plant and alleged contamination of lower Passaic River, on April 15, 2015, Occidental Chemical Corporation (“OCC”) served Maxus with an indemnity demand letter asserting that Maxus is obligated to indemnify OCC under the 1986 SPA with respect to the counter-claims asserted by Repsol against OCC. Maxus replied to OCC on April 28, 2015 reserving all arguments and defenses regarding the 1986 SPA’s indemnification provisions.

Furthermore, scheduled dates were changed by “Case Management Order XXVI” dated March 9, 2015 and the Case Management Order XXVII dated July 1, 2015 under which the new Judge extended the deadline to complete all presentations until January 29, 2016, established a briefing schedule pursuant to which summary judgment will not be decide until late April or early May 2016, at the earliest, and included a provision that trial shall be scheduled in June 2016. Depositions of witnesses residing in the US and abroad began in December 2014 in accordance with the Case Management Order XXV. Since that time thirty five witnesses have been deposed, including the corporate representatives of Maxus and TS who were deposed during the Second Quarter 2015. The issues being explored include Track IV (the alter-ego and fraudulent transfers of assets) and Track III (indemnity claims filed by OCC against Maxus). Depositions of witnesses continued until July 15, 2015; thereafter, the depositions of corporate representatives of OCC, Repsol and YPF will be scheduled. Pursuant to the Case Management Order XXVII all depositions must be completed by September 15, 2015.

Moreover, on March 26, 2015, a new presiding judge was appointed for the case.

Regarding the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River, they are the subject of a Remedial Investigation / Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) that is anticipated to be completed in 2016 or later, following which EPA will select a remediation alternative and notice it for public comment.

The CPG (“Cooperation Group Parties”) submitted a draft project of RI/FS during the first semester of 2015. Separate sections were submitted over a four month period from February to July 2015. The CGP documents offers potential alternatives to the EPA FFS. The EPA may or may not consider this report, as they continue to address comments to the FFS.

 

-

With regard to the complaint brought by Ruby Mhire and others against Maxus Energy Corporation (“Maxus”) and other third parties, in June 2015, Maxus made one last installment payment in the amount of US$ 1 million, with which it has no further payment obligations.

11. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, CONTINGENT ASSETS, CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS, MAIN REGULATIONS AND OTHERS

Contingent liabilities, contingent assets, contractual commitments, main regulations and others are described in Note 11 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. Developments during the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 concerning the above are detailed below.

 

a)

Contingent Liabilities

 

-

Concerning court claims brought by the Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia (“ASSUPA”) against concessionaires of the areas of the Northwest Basin, currently all terms to file answers have been stayed by reason of a request from the Company. In addition, Pan American Energy filed a motion to disqualify the judge hearing the case and therefore, court proceedings were referred to Federal Court No. 2 sitting in Salta for a decision thereon to be rendered.

 

-

On April 8, 2015 Petersen Energía Inversora, S.A.U and Petersen Energía, S.A.U. (jointly, “Petersen”), a former shareholder of YPF, filed a complaint against the Argentine Republic and YPF with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The litigation is being conducted by the bankruptcy trustee of the aforesaid companies by reason of a liquidation process pending in a Commercial Court in Spain. The complaint contains claims related to the expropriation of the controlling interest of Repsol in YPF by the Argentine Republic in 2012, asserting that the obligation by the Argentine Republic to make a purchase offer to the remaining shareholders would have been triggered. Claims seem to be mainly grounded on allegations that the expropriation breached contract obligations contained in the initial public offering and bylaws of YPF and seeks unspecified compensation.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 2015, the Company issued Class XL Negotiables Obligations for amount of 500, which shall bear interest at a variable rate (Badlar plus 3.49%) and maturing in 2017.

On July 16, 2015, the Province of Neuquén, by decrees 1536/15 and 1541/15 approved the subdivision of the Bandurria block (465.5 km2) granting 100% of the area called “Bandurria Norte” (107 km2) to Wintershall Energía S.A., 100% of the area called “Bandurria Centro” (130 km2) to Pan American Energy LLC (Sucursal Argentina) and 100% of the area called “Bandurria Sur” (228.5 km2) to YPF, granting YPF an Unconventional Hydrocarbon Exploitation Concession on the Bandurria Sur area for a period of 35 years, having undertaken to submit a pilot program to be conducted within three years with an associated investment of US$ 360 million.

On July 10, 2015, the Province of Neuquén agreed to grant to both partners Pan American Energy LLC (Sucursal Argentina) and YPF as per their equity interests (62.5% and 37.5%, respectively) in the UTE “Lindero Atravesado”, an Unconventional Hydrocarbon Exploitation Concession for a period of 35 years pursuant to the provisions of sections 27bis, 35(b) and the related provisions of Law No. 17,319, as amended by Law No. 27,007. As a condition for the granting of the concession, the concessionaires undertake to carry out an Unconventional tight gas development pilot program within a maximum term of 4 years starting January 1, 2015, with an investment of US$ 590 million. On July 16, 2015, this agreement was approved under Decree 1540/15 enacted by the Province of Neuquén.

On August 1, 2015 the new Argentine Civil and Commercial Code became in full force and effect. This new code, while unifying the Civil Code with the Commercial Code, introduces many new features and modifications to the rules governing issues like Capacity, Obligations, Contracts, and Pre-contractual and Contractual Civil Liability, Ownership, Co-ownership, Commercial Companies and Statute of Limitations, among others.

As of the date of the issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there are no other significant subsequent events that require adjustments or disclosure in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group as of June 30, 2015, which were not already considered in such consolidated financial statements according to IFRS.
