2. Basis of presentation
2.1 Statement of compliance and authorization of financial statements
The interim financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The results for the interim periods are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for each period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended 31 December 2020 included in Form 20-F 2020.
Ecopetrol Business Group prepares its consolidated financial statements included within Form 20-F on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies expected to be used in Form 20-F 2021 which are the same as those used in the previous year.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Group's Board of Directors on October 1st, 2021.
2.2 Considerations and effects of Covid-19
As mentioned in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020, since the beginning of the pandemic in Colombia, the Group has taken the measures to ensure the sustainability of the business in an environment of low prices during 2020, prioritizing the opportunities to cash generation with better equilibrium prices, maintaining growth dynamics with a focus on executing strategic asset development plans and preserving the value of assets through investments that provide reliability, integrity and continuity to the current operation in refineries, transportation systems and production fields.
In addition, during 2021, the behavior of crude oil and products prices has shown a recovery due to the maintenance of supply, given fact that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has a preponderant factor to keep the market balanced. In terms of demand, vaccination campaigns began in several countries around the world, increasing the expectations of a sustained recovery, taking Brent to an average of 65.2 USD/Bl (2020 - 42.1 USD / Bl).
The Group will continue monitoring the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the markets to determine the need to implement subsequent stages of the intervention plan and will continuously review the indicators of impairment of long-lived assets and investments in companies.
2.3 Bases of consolidation
For presentation purposes, these consolidated condensed interim financial statements were prepared by consolidating all companies set out in Exhibit 1, in which Ecopetrol exercises control, directly or indirectly.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(Figures expressed in millions of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated)
The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained until the date on which it ceases.
The acquisition of Guajira Association on May 1, 2020, that was accounted for as a business combination under IFRS 3, Business Combination, was finalized in 2021 with no changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities previously recognized on the acquisition date.
3. Significant accounting judgments and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires that the Company’s Management makes estimates to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments. These estimates have been determined based on the best available information on the facts analyzed. Changes to these estimates are recognized prospectively in the period in which the estimate is revised.
In the course of 2021, there have been no changes in the significant accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.
4. Accounting policies
The Group’s main accounting policies are described in the accounting policies section of the annual report with a cut-off date of December 31, 2020 and they have been applied consistently for the period comprising these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2021.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.
5. New standards and regulatory changes
5.1 New standards adopted by the Group, effective as of January 1, 2021
| ● | Reform to the benchmark interest rate phase 2: In August 2020, IASB published this draft, which complements the one issued in 2019 and focuses on the effects on the financial statements when a company replaces the benchmark interest rate above for an alternative reference rate. The modifications in this phase refer to changes in contractual cash flows, hedge accounting and risk management disclosures. |
Benchmark interest rates such as interbank offer rates (IBOR) have an important role in global financial markets, being “LIBOR” one of the most used by various companies for corporate debt and derivative instruments trading, among others. The G20 asked the Financial Stability Board (FSB) to carry out a review of the main benchmark interest rates. As a result of the review, LIBOR and other rates are expected to be replaced with new ones that give greater confidence to the markets in general.
Within the accounting analysis, Ecopetrol established that the contractual cash flows of financial assets or liabilities measured at amortized cost would change as a result of the IBOR reform; however, it is expected that this change will not have an application impact on the financial statements, given the exceptions provided by the amendment where it is established that, if the modification occurs as a direct consequence of the interest rate reform and the new rate is economically equivalent to the previous basis, the entity will not have to make a re-estimate of future interest payments. Monthly financial expenses will be measured at the new interest rate without implying a remeasurement in the rate that could affect the current cost of the financial asset and/or financial liability.

5.2 New standards issued by the IASB that will enter into force in future periods
The IASB issued amendments to the following IFRS, with application as of January 1, 2022 or subsequent periods, it is clarified that the application of these amendments in Colombia is subject to the decrees issued by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism:
| ● | IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment: amendment that determines the prohibition to deduct from the cost of property, plant and equipment the sales revenue of goods produced, while the company prepares the asset for its intended use. The Ecopetrol Business Group is assessing the application of the amendment to IAS 16 in sales to third parties of the extensive production tests; disclosing separately the amounts of income and costs related to the items produced. |
| ● | IFRS 3 - Business combinations: a reference from the standard to the Conceptual Framework was updated. |
| ● | IAS 37 - Provisions, Liabilities and Contingent Assets: in which it details the costs that an entity must include when determining whether a contract is onerous. |
| ● | Annual improvement cycle 2018-2020 that involves adjustments to IFRS 1 - subsidiary as a first-time adopter, IAS 41 – taxation in fair value measurements, IFRS 16 – lease incentives and IFRS 9 – fees in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities, which clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. |
| ● | Amendment to IAS 1 - Classifications of liabilities as currents or non-current effective as of January 1st, 2023 as well as the following limited scope amendments. |
| ● | Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements. Companies should disclose material information about their accounting policies and apply the concept of materiality to disclosures of accounting policies. |
| ● | Amendments to IAS 8 - Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors. Clarifies how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. |
| ● | Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred taxes related to assets and liabilities that are recognized in a single transaction. The purpose of the amendments is to reduce the diversity in reporting of deferred tax on leases and abandonment obligations. The modifications are effective for the annual periods as of January 1, 2023. |
The Group is constantly monitoring changes in local accounting regulations to assess the possible impacts that the new standards issued by the international organization may generate in their adoption in Colombia.

| (8) | The advance payment mechanism of “works for taxes” is regulated by article 800 of the tax statute, which established it as a form of payment in respect to the income tax payable for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019. In compliance therewith, in May 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Group recognized an asset and a liability for the value of the projects designated for each fiscal year. |
According to IAS 34, for deferred income tax calculation purposes, the Company used the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.
10.2 Income tax
In accordance with Law 2010/2019 (Tax Reform) the tax provisions applicable in Colombia for the taxable year 2021 are the following:
| - | The general rate of income tax applicable to national companies, permanent establishments and foreign entities will be 31% and 30% for the year 2022 and subsequent years. |
| - | For the years 2020 and 2021, the applicable rate for purposes of calculating the income tax under the presumptive income system will be 0.5% and 0%, respectively, of the taxpayer's net worth from the immediately previous year. |
| - | The income tax for tax free trade zone users will be 20% if the company is located in the free zones and has a Legal Stability Agreement (hereinafter, LSA) the income tax rate will continue to be 15% during the term of said contract. This is the case of Refinería de Cartagena S.A.S. (“Reficar”) and Esenttia Masterbatch Ltda. ("Esenttia MB"). |
| - | For fiscal year 2021, the Group had subsidiaries that were subject to a 31% income tax rate, subsidiaries located in free trade zones that were subject to a 15% income tax rate depending upon whether or not they complied with the LSA rules and other subsidiaries that were subject to statutory income tax rates applicable in countries where they are incorporated. |
| - | The tax depreciation percentages are adjusted based on the table established in Law 1819 of 2016. On the other hand, oil investments amortization will be calculated based on the technical production units as it is recorded for accounting purposes. |
| - | The cost of acquisition of exploration rights, geology and geophysics (G&G), exploratory drilling, among others, is capitalized for tax purposes until the technical and commercial feasibilities of extracting the resource are achieved. |
| - | Tax losses generated as of January 1, 2017, may be offset by the liquid income generated in the following 12 years. |
| - | Following the article 290 of Law 1819 of 2016, any excess between estimated income reported and CREE that has not yet been offset may be offset in accordance with the formula provided for this purpose in said article and subject to the term established in Article 189 of the Colombian Tax Code. |
Statute of limitation of review for tax returns
By general rule, the statute of limitations for the income tax return corresponds to 3 years counted as from the due date to file the return or the filing date, when these have been filed late. Returns filed by taxpayers that have made transactions, subject to the transfer pricing regulations, have a five-year statute of limitations, for the tax returns that are filed as of January 1, 2020.
For tax returns with credit balances, the statute of limitations will be 3 years as of the filing date of the request for refund or offsetting.
For tax returns in which tax losses are carried forward, the statute of limitations will be 6 years (5 years from 2020) counted as of their filing date.
With respect to tax returns where tax losses are calculated, the statute of limitations will be 12 years and if the losses are carried forward within the last 2 years of the 12–year period, the statute of limitations will be extended up to 3 additional years from the year of offsetting.

Reconciliation of the income tax expenses
For interim periods, and in compliance with IAS 34, the income tax for the period is recognized by applying the effective tax rate projected for the year to the pre-tax accounting profit of the period of closing.
The effective tax rate as of June 30, 2021 is 33.8%; the variation of -39.2% against the rate as of june 30, 2020 (73.0%) is mainly due to the projected profit, originated mainly from the recovery of crude oil prices, the devaluation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar, its corresponding effect of adjustment for exchange rate difference in the companies of the business group which the functional currency is U.S. dollar, the effect for current and deferred income tax prior years, the effect for differences in tax rates in Colombia, differences between free trade zone versus the rest of colombian territories, the deferred tax assets for tax losses in 2020 and recoverability in 2021 and the effect of group companies with losses that have a different tax rate than their parent company.

| (4,267,873) |
| | 6,378,288 |
| 6,034,706 |
| (1) | The reduction compared to December 2020 mainly corresponds to the fact that the deferred tax associated with tax losses and excess presumptive income for Ecopetrol was offset based on the results and projections for the year. The deferred tax asset for tax losses corresponds to COP$3,541,693, made up of: Ecopetrol USA Inc. for COP$1,793,913, Refinería de Cartagena for COP$1,734,569, and Invercolsa COP$13,211. |
| (2) | Corresponds to non-deductible accounting provisions, mainly the asset retirement obligation (ARO) provision. |
| (3) | Actuarial calculations for health, pensions, education, pension bonuses and other long-term benefits to employees. |
| (4) | The increase is mainly due to the variation in the exchange rate. |
| (5) | According to Colombian tax law, goodwill acquired before 2017 is subject to amortization, while under IFRS it is not amortized but such goodwill is subject to impairment tests, and any difference results in a deferred tax liability. |
| (6) | For tax purposes natural and environmental resources and property, plant and equipment have a useful life and a methodology for calculating depreciation and amortization different from those determined under international accounting standards. Under NCIF (Accounting and Financial Information Standards accepted in Colombia), the useful life is determined by a technical analysis. This difference translates into a different depreciation base for accounting and tax purposes. Within this item the amount of tax is also included for capital gains of 10% on land, as well as the application of the income tax rate of 31% and 30% for the other assets. |
The Group offsets tax assets and liabilities only if it has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, to the extent that they also correspond to income taxes required by the same tax jurisdiction and by the same tax authority.
Non-recognized deferred tax asset
The deferred tax asset related to the tax losses generated by the following companies are not recognized, Andean Chemicals Ltd for COP$1,852, and the excess of presumptive income of Hocol Petroleum Company (“HPL”) for COP$12,077, Andean Chemicals Ltd for COP$4,332 and Refinería de Cartagena S.A.S for COP$227,680. Since Management has assessed and reached the conclusion it is not probable that the deferred tax asset related to these tax losses and presumptive income excesses will be recoverable in the short term.
Additionally, the deferred tax asset was not recognized on the difference between the accounting and tax basis associated with investments in Ecopetrol subsidiaries and joint ventures (Base: COP$827,710 - Tax: COP$82,771), as the Ecopetrol Business Group does not have any intention of selling these assets in the foreseeable future and Ecopetrol is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference.

16. Impairment of non-current assets
According to the behavior of the key market assumptions as of June 30, 2021, no factors or circumstances were identified that indicate that the book value of its assets may be above its recoverable value. In terms of supply, there has been a recovery since the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has represented a preponderant factor to keep the market balanced. Additionally, better refining margins and vaccination campaigns have advanced in several countries of the world, raising expectations of a sustained recovery. Thus, the net movement in impairment in 2021 is a recovery of COP$3,446 mainly for Refinería de Cartagena S.A.S. and Cenit, due to the recovery of certain materials classified as property, plant and equipment.
As of March 31, 2020, Ecopetrol performed a quantitative impairment analysis considering the pandemic situation that started in 2020 and its effect on market variables, adjusting the assumptions used in the December 31, 2019 assessment as follows:
- | Oil price - Brent: The price was adjusted for the first year (2020) going from US COP$ 55.61/Bl to US COP$ 40.00/Bl, the medium and long-term curve was maintained as it was used for the end of 2019. The quality differentials and refining margins were adjusted at this new price. |
- | Discount rates: were updated with the macroeconomic variables after the price war began, for the exploration and production segment were used 5.47% and for investments in companies 7.21%. The volatility of the market variables used to calculate the weighted average cost of capital could generate significant variations in discount rates. |
In terms of the Oil and gas reserve balance as of March 31, 2020, the inputs and other assumptions remained constant as at the end of 2019.
As of June 2020, the impairment recognition corresponds to property, plant and equipment ($655,087), natural resources ($495,656), investments in associates and joint ventures ($53,249) and other non-current assets ($287). The main production wells that recognized impairment expenses were Casabe, Tibú, Jazmin, Lisama and Hobo at Ecopetrol; Espinal, La Hocha, Cupia and La Punta in Hocol, and in K2 in America. An additional impairment was recognized in Offshore International Group.

20.2 Litigations
During 2021, second instance rulings unfavorable to the interests of Ecopetrol SA have been notified. These rulings are related to public works contributions, which led to the recognition of a provision for COP$199,712 for rulings that have a unified judgment and that may be subject to payment to the tax authority.
Nevertheless, Ecopetrol will continue to present the pertinent appeals against the rulings, to apply all the legal resources that may be appropriate to modify, totally or partially, rulings against issued.
20.3 Environmental contingencies and other
Corresponds mainly to obligations of environmental compensation and forced investment of 1% for the use, exploitation or affectation of natural resources imposed by national, regional and local environmental authorities. The obligation of forced investment of no less than 1% applies to all projects that requires an environmental license and that involves the use of water taken directly from surface or underground natural sources, either for human consumption, recreation, irrigation or any other activity, in accordance with the provisions of the Law 99 of 1993, article 43, Decree 1900 of 2006, Decrees 2099 of 2017 and 075 and 1120 of 2018 and article 321 of Law 1955 of 2019 in relation to the projects that Ecopetrol develops in the regions.
The National Government, through the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, issued in December 2016 and in January 2017 Decrees 2099 and 075, through which it modifies the Single Regulatory Decree of the environment and sustainable development sector, Decree 1076 of 2015, in related to forced investment of not less than 1%. The decrees included modifications and guidelines regarding the geographical scope for the execution of activities for the fulfillment of the obligation, investment lines and the calculation of the base for the settlement of the obligations. Likewise, June 30, 2017 was defined as the maximum date to modify the Investment Plans that are in execution.
In 2019, Law 1955/2019 was issued, which in its Article 321, defined the items to carry out the liquidation of the forced investment of no less than 1% and established all those holders of an environmental license who have pending investments to the date of promulgation of said Law, to update the value of the settlement base of the investment of 1% within the defined period, either by accepting the percentage of increase according to the year of start of activities authorized in the environmental license, or by the formula defined in the first paragraph of the said article. Therefore, Ecopetrol carried out the recertification of the settlement base and the acceptance of the percentage of updating of the investment values of 1% in more than 90 environmental licenses, generating a lower provision for this obligation. In 2021 and 2020, ANLA has ruled through resolutions on 90% of the requests submitted in relation to article 321 of Law 1955. Ecopetrol has filed an appeal for reconsideration with ANLA in most cases, which are under review by this authority during 2021. Ecopetrol is managing the contracts for the execution of these obligations.
20.4 Contingencies
Oleoducto Bicentenario de Colombia S.A.S.
During July 2018, the carriers Frontera Energy Colombia Corp. (Frontera), Canacol Energy Colombia S.A.S. (Canacol) and Vetra Exploración y Producción Colombia S.A.S. (Vetra and, together with Frontera and Canacol, the Carriers) sent letters to Oleoducto Bicentenario de Colombia S.A.S. (Bicentenario) alleging there were early termination rights under the Ship-or-Pay Transport Agreements entered by each of them and Bicentenario in 2012 (the Transport Agreements). Bicentenario has rejected the terms of the letters, noting that there is no option for early termination and reiterating to the Carriers that the Transport Agreements are current and therefore the Carriers must fulfill their obligations under the Transport Agreements in a timely fashion.
Under Bicentenario’s understanding that the Transport Agreements remain current and that the Carriers are in violation of their obligations under such agreements, Bicentenario declared the Carriers delinquent because of their failure to pay for transport service under the agreements. Consequently, Bicentenario executed the standby letters of credit posted as guarantee for the Transport Agreements.

Ecopetrol S.A.
Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(Figures expressed in millions of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated)
On October 19, 2018, Bicentenario notified Frontera of the existence of a “Dispute” pursuant to Clause 20 of the respective Transport Agreement and moved to the party dispute settlement stage as provided for in such clause. Such discussions ended without an agreement on December 19, 2018. On January 28, 2019, Bicentenario filed an Arbitration Claim against Frontera in accordance with the arbitration clause of the Transportation Agreement to claim any compensation, indemnification or other restitution deriving from the alleged early termination of said agreements. Similarly, on November 1, 2018, Bicentenario notified Vetra and Canacol of the existence of a “Dispute” pursuant to Clause 20 of the respective Transport Agreement and moved to the party dispute settlement stage as provided for in each such respective clause. Such discussions ended without agreement in March 2019.
During 2021 the arbitration proceedings between Bicentenario, Vetra and Canacol were completed. For more details on this matter, see section “Bicentenario, Cenit and Frontera Settlement Agreement” below.
Cenit Transporte y Logística de Hidrocarburos S.A.S. (“Cenit”)
In 2018, the Company filed an arbitration claim against Grupo Frontera for: - The improper termination of the transportation contracts for the Caño Limón Coveñas Pipeline. Cenit considers that the amounts owed by Frontera for this concept as of June 30, 2020, are COP$ 334,583.
The abovementioned fees dispute was at the root of the opposition manifested by Frontera Group against the application of the fees defined by the Ministry of Mines and Energy for the period 2015-2019. The rate differential amounts to COP$ 110,254 which was placed by Frontera in a trust fund, whilst the balance of the debt according to Cenit’s accounting records on the same date are COP$ 99,734, thus evidencing that the amounts receivable are funded.
Frontera has not paid the component of the fee related to the abandonment fund to which Cenit considers they are entitled by virtue of the application of resolutions 31480 and 31661 issued by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. Frontera Energy Group owed COP$ 9,663 in connection therewith.

Frontera will not have to make payments for oil it may have to ship through alternate pipelines. These contracts will allow Cenit and Bicentenario to obtain payment of certain amounts included in the settlement, during the term of the contracts. The arrangement is conditional upon certain regulatory approvals, including approval of the settlement arrangement as a conciliation under Colombian law, which requires an opinion from the Attorney General’s Office (Procuraduría General de la Nación) which was issued on March 24, 2021 and approval of the Administrative Tribunal of Cundinamarca.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(Figures expressed in millions of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated)
In January 2020, McDermott International Inc. – CB&I parent company – commenced a bankruptcy case under title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Faced with this situation, Refinería de Cartagena has taken actions to protect its interests and has a group of experts with whom it will continue to evaluate other measures it may adopt in this new circumstance.
Because of the initiation of the reorganization process, the arbitration was suspended until July 1, 2020, as described below.
On January 21, 2020, Comet II BV, the successor in interest to Chicago Bridge & Iron Company NV, commenced bankruptcy case under title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Before the beginning of the insolvency process of Comet II BV, an automatic suspension of the initiation or continuation of any action, process or execution of judgment or award against Comet II BV became effective, which suspended the arbitration. On January 23, 2020, Comet II B.V. obtained an order from the Bankruptcy Court permitting it to, in its discretion, modify the automatic stay to permit it to proceed with litigation or other contested matters. On March 14, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming a plan of reorganization, and the order provides for the stay against the arbitration to end upon the earlier of the effective date of the plan or August 30, 2020.- whichever would occur first. On June 30, 2020, McDermott International Inc. notified the occurrence of the effective date of the reorganization plan, for which the suspension of arbitration was lifted on July 1, 2020.
On May 6, 2020, the Superintendence of Companies ordered the judicial liquidation of CBI Colombiana SA, one of the defendants in the CB&I arbitration.

Office of the Comptroller General (Contraloría General de la República – CGR):
Financial Audit for the 2019 period
The CGR carried out a financial audit of the Cartagena Refinery between January 28, 2020 and May 20, 2020.
In the Final Audit Report, 3 findings of an administrative nature are established, and it is indicated (i) that the budget execution is reasonable, since the budget was prepared and executed in accordance with the applicable regulations, (ii) that the internal financial control was efficient, since it is adequate and effective controls against the risks that are inherent to the different processes, procedures and activities carried out during the 2019 period, (iii) that the accounting opinion is negative, since the CGR considered that the Financial Statements "do not present reasonably in all important respects, the financial situation as of December 31, 2019".
Financial Audit for the 2020 period
The CGR carried out a financial audit of the Cartagena Refinery between February 1 and May 27, 2021.
In the Final Audit report, 3 findings of an administrative nature are established, and it is indicated: (i) that the budget execution is reasonable, since the budget was planned, programmed and executed in accordance with the applicable regulations, (ii) that the Internal financial control was efficient, because it is adequate and effective controls against the risks that are inherent to the different processes, procedures and activities carried out during the 2020 period, (iii) that the accounting opinion is negative, since the CGR considered that the RUs "do not reasonably present, in all material respects, the financial situation as of December 31, 2020." Considering the above, the CGR did not terminate the fiscal account for the 2020 term.
Fiscal responsibility processes
Through Order No. 773 of June 5, 2018, the Office of the Comptroller General issued an order to file and impute fiscal responsibility within the process # PRF-2017-00309_UCC-PRF-005-2017 and impute responsibility to:
i.Nine (9) ex-members of the Board of Directors of Refinería de Cartagena
ii.Five (5) ex-workers of Refinería de Cartagena
iii.One (1) ex-worker of Ecopetrol
iv.Five (5) contractor companies that provided their services during the execution of the project,
v.Four (4) insurance companies and two (2) reinsurers, as a civilly responsible third party.
Additionally, in the order it was required to form an independent process in relation to the event that generates the late entry into operation of the refinery, which gives rise to a loss of profit; that is, the net profit not received by Reficar.

Ecopetrol S.A.
Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(Figures expressed in millions of Colombian pesos, unless otherwise stated)
On April 26, 2021, the CGR issued a first instance ruling with fiscal responsibility for changes 2 and 3 that were made to the expansion and modernization project of the Refinería de Cartagena for a value of COP$2.9 thousands of millions in solidarity and as a gross fault against:
i.Seven (7) ex-members of the Board of Directors of Refinería de Cartagena
ii.Five (5) ex-workers of Refinería de Cartagena
iii.Four (4) contractor companies that provided their services during the execution of the project,
iv.Four (4) insurance companies.
On June 3, 2021, the CGR decided on the appeals for reconsideration and resolved, among other matters: (a) not to reconsider and confirm the first instance ruling for one of the parties, (b) partially reinstate the first instance decision to the insurance companies, (c) partially correct the ruling, and (d) grant the appeals filed.
On July 6, 2021, the CGR's Fiscal and Sanction Chamber decided the degree of consultation and the appeals filed by the parties and resolved, among other matters: (a) to deny the appeals, and (b) to confirm the order that resolved appeal for reconsideration.
Refinería de Cartagena and Ecopetrol S.A. are not part of these processes.
As of the date of this report, the financial statements continue to adequately disclose the Group's financial and operational situation in all material aspects and its internal controls remain in force and therefore the ruling does not generate any impact on the companies.

27. Risk management
27.1 Exchange rate risk
The Group operates mainly in Colombia and makes sales in the local and international market, for this reason, it is exposed to exchange rate risk. The impact of fluctuations in exchange rates, especially the peso / U.S exchange rate.
As of June 30, 2021, the Colombian peso depreciated 9.2% from a closing rate as of December 31, 2020 of COP$3,432.50 to COP$3,748.50 pesos per U.S. dollar. When the Colombian peso depreciates against the U.S. dollar, exports revenue increase when converted to pesos; likewise, imported goods, and interest on foreign debt denominated in the U.S. dollars become more expensive.

27.3 Cash flow hedge for future exports
In order to express in the financial statements the effect of the natural hedge existing between exports and debt, understanding that the exchange rate risk materializes when exports are made, on September 30, 2015, the Board of Directors designated the sum of USD$5,440 million of Ecopetrol's debt as a hedge instrument for its future income from crude exports, for the period 2015 - 2023, in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments.
In accordance with Resolution 509 of 2015 of the General Accounting Office of the Nation, this accounting policy for recognition of hedges was adopted by Ecopetrol as of January 1, 2015.
The following is the movement of this non-derivative hedging instrument:

27.4 Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation
The Board of Directors approved the application of hedge accounting of net investment from June 8, 2016. The measure seeks to reduce the volatility of non-operating income due to the exchange difference. The hedge of a net investment applies to a portion of the investments the Company has in foreign currency, in this case in subsidiaries with the US dollars as their functional currency, using as hedging instrument a portion of the Company’s debt denominated in U.S. dollars.
Ecopetrol designated as hedged items its net investments in Oleoducto Central S.A. (Ocensa), Ecopetrol América LLC., Hocol Petroleum Ltd. (HPL) and Refinería de Cartagena S.A.S. (Reficar); and as a hedging instrument a portion of its debt denominated in US dollars in a total amount equivalents to USD$5,200 million.
During 2021, the Company made an extension for USD$1,221 million to add a greater amount in Reficar. Additionally, during the month of June 2021, debt principal payments were made for USD$163 million. The total value hedged on June 30, 2021 is USD$8,315 million.
