FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of Argentine Pesos (“$”) – unless otherwise stated)
NOTE 2:(Continuation)
Power capacity availability is determined independently of the reservoir level, the contributions made, or the expenses incurred. Furthermore, in the case of pumping hydroelectric power plants, the following is considered to calculate availability: i) the operation as turbine at all hours within the period, and ii) the availability as pump at off-peak hours every day and on non-business days.
The base remuneration is determined by the actual power capacity plus that under programmed and/or agreed maintenance:
Technology/Scale | Base Price (U$S/MW- month) |
Medium HI Capacity > 120 ≤ 300 MW | 3,000 |
Small HI Capacity > 50 ≤ 120 MW | 4,500 |
Large Pumped HI Capacity > 120 ≤ 300 MW | 2,000 |
Similarly to the provisions of Resolution No. 22/16, in the case of hydroelectric power plants maintaining control structures on river courses and not having an associated power plant, a 1.20 factor will be applied to the plant at the headwaters.
The additional remuneration applies to power plants of any scale for their actual availability and based on the applicable period:
Type of Power Plant | Period | Additional Price (U$S/MW- month) |
Conventional | May 17 – Oct. 17 | 500 |
Nov. 17 onwards | 1,000 |
Pumped | May 17 – Oct. 17 | - |
Nov. 17 onwards | 500 |
As from November 2017, the allocation and collection of 50% of the additional remuneration will be conditional upon the generator: i) taking out insurance, to CAMMESA’s satisfaction, to cover for major incidents on critical equipment; and ii) the progressive updating of the plant's control systems pursuant to an investment plan to be submitted based on criteria to be defined by the SEE.
Other Technologies
The remuneration is made up of a base price and an additional price associated with the availability of the installed equipment with an operating permanence longer than 12 months as from the beginning of the Summer Seasonal Programming.
Technology/Scale | Price |
Base (U$S/MWh) | Additional (U$S/MWh) |

2.1.1.5 Repayment of Overhaul Financing (applicable to thermal and hydroelectric generators)
The Resolution abrogates the Maintenance Remuneration and provides that, as regards the repayment of outstanding loans applicable to thermal and hydroelectric generators, credits already accrued and/or committed to the cancellation of such maintenance works will be applied first. The balance will be repaid by discounting U$S 1/MWh for the energy generated until the total cancellation of the financing.
2.1.2. Recategorization of hydroelectric power plants of subsidiary HINISA:
On April 10, 2017, the SEE provided for the recategorization of the Nihuil I, Nihuil II and Nihuil III plants as small-scale plants for the application of the effective remuneration scheme. Thus, the SEE rectified the incorrect categorization initially assigned to these plants in line with the repeated claims lodged by the Company since April 25, 2013.
Pursuant to the terms of the SEE's instruction to CAMMESA, the recategorization is effective as from April 2017.
The impact of this recategorization represents a 50% increase in the base remuneration for power capacity, which thus rises from U$S 3,000 - month to U$S 4,500 -month.
2.1.3. 2014 Agreement for the Increase of Thermal Generation Availability
On July 14, 2017, CTLL entered into with CAMMESA the WEM Supply Agreement under SE Resolution No. 220/07 for the new 105 MW high-efficiency gas turbine, retroactively as of July 15, 2016, date on which it was commissioned for service, committing a 79.35 MW, which represents 75.6%, of the turbine's power capacity. The remaining 24.4% capacity will continue to be compensated under SEE Resolution No. 19/2017.
CTLL estimates that the economic impact of the new remuneration will amount to $ 198 million for the previous period to the agreement's signing,which will be recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income under Revenues from sales as from this agreement's signing date.
2.1.4. SEE Resolution No. 287/17. Projects for Co-generation and Closing of Combined Cycles
Pursuant to SEE Resolution No. 420/2017, SEE Resolution No. 287/17 was published, which opened a call for bids to all parties interested in developing projects for co-generation and the closing of combined cycles over existing equipment, without limit to the power capacity to be installed. The projects should have low specific consumption (lower than 1,680 kcal/kWh with natural gas and 1,820 kcal/kWh with alternative liquid fuels).
It is a condition that the new capacity should not exceed the existing electric power transmission capacity; otherwise, the cost of the necessary extensions will be assumed by the Bidder.

iii) Unpaid penalties will accrue interest at the BNA lending rate for thirty-day discount transactions from the date of the resolution to the date of actual payment, as interest on late payment. In the case of penalties related to Customer service, the calculated amount shall be increased by 50%.
iv) Penalties subsequent to February 1, 2017 will be valued at the Kwh value or the cost of energy not supplied of the first day of the control period or of the day of occurrence of the penalizable event for penalties arising from specific events. Those concepts will not be adjusted by the IPC, applying the interest on late payment established in iii) above. Moreover, an additional fine equivalent to twice the amount of the penalty will be determined if payment is not made in due time and manner.
The impact of these new penalty determination and adjustment mechanisms have been quantified by Edenor and recognized as of June 30, 2017.
In accordance with the provisions of Sub-Appendix XVI to ENRE Resolution No. 63/17, Edenor is required to submit in a term of 60 calendar days the calculation of global indicators, interruptions for which force majeure had been alleged, the calculation of individual indicators, and will determine the related discounts, crediting the amounts thereof within 10 business days. In turn, the ENRE will examine the information submitted by Edenor, and in the event that the crediting of such discounts were not verified will impose a fine, payable to the Treasury, equivalent to twice the value that should have been recorded. At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, Edenor is preparing the aforementioned information related to the six-month period ended July 31, 2017.
2.2.3.Framework agreement
On August 3, 2017, the approval of the extension until September 30, 2017 of the Framework Agreement was signed. The signing of the above mentioned agreement represents the recognition of revenue in favor of Edenor related to the distribution of electricity to low income neighborhoods and shantytowns for the January 1, 2015 - June 30, 2017 period for $ 203 million.
2.2.4Regulatory framework of Edenor – Law on electricity dependent patients
On May 17, 2017, Law No. 27,351 was passed, which guarantees the permanent and free of charge supply of electricity to those individuals who qualify as dependent on power for reasons of health and require medical equipment necessary to avoid risks in their lives or health. The law states that the account holder of the service or someone who lives with him/her (a cohabitant) that is registered as “Electricity dependent for reasons of health” will be exempt from the payment of any and all connection fees and will benefit from a special free of charge tariff treatment in the electric power supply service under national jurisdiction, which consists in the recognition of the entire amount of the power bill.
On July 26, 2017, the ENRE issued Resolution No. 292, stating that those discounts are to be made as from the effective date of the aforementioned law, and instructing CAMMESA to implement those discounts in its billing to distribution companies.The amounts paid by customers for the bills that fall within the scope of this Resolution will be made available in the stipulated time limits.

NOTE 4:(Continuation)
In Note 36 to the condensed interim financial statements the conditions of the compensation agreements, payment conditions and the main variables considered in the valuation model are detailed.
At the time of issuance of its next annual financial statements, the Company will apply the standards effective during fiscal year 2017 indicated in Note 4.2. to the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2016 (IAS 7: “Statement of Cash Flows” and IAS 12: “Income Taxes”). The Company estimates that these modifications will have no impact on the Company’s operating results or financial situation, but will only involve new disclosures.
As of June 30, 2016, the IASB has issued the following standards and interpretations:
IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts"
In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 that replaces IFRS 4, which was brought in as an interim standard in 2004 establishing the dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using national accounting standards, resulting in a multitude of different approaches. IFRS 17 establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure related to insurance contracts and shall by applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January1, 2021, permitting early application for entities that apply IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.
The Company is analyzing the impact of the application of IFRS 17, however, it estimates that the application of IFRS 17 will not have an impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.
IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments"
In June 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC 23 clarifying how to apply IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments to determine income tax. According to the interpretation, an entity shall reflect the effect of the uncertain tax treatment by using the method that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty, either through the most likely amount method or the expected value method. Additionally, an entity shall assume that the taxation authority will examine the amounts and has full knowledge of all related information in assessing an uncertain tax treatment in the determination of income tax. The interpretation shall apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, permitting early application.
The Company is analyzing the impact of the application of IFRIC 23, however, it estimates that the application of IFRIC 23 will not have material impact on the results of operations or the financial situation of the Company.

NOTE 28: EARNING (LOSS) PER SHARE
a) Basic
Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the result attributable to the Company’s equity interest holders by the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the period.
b) Diluted
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average of outstanding common shares to reflect the conversion of all dilutive potential common shares.
Potential common shares will be deemed dilutive only when their conversion into common shares may reduce the earnings per share or increase losses per share of the continuing business. Potential common shares will be deemed anti-dilutive when their conversion into common shares may result in an increase in the earnings per share or a decrease in the losses per share of the continuing operations.
The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not entail a conversion, the exercise or another issuance of shares which may have an anti-dilutive effect on the losses per share, or where the option exercise price is higher than the average price of ordinary shares during the period, no dilutive effect is recorded, being the diluted earnings per share equal to the basic. As of June 30, 2016, the diluted earnings per share is equal to basic.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company does not hold any significant potential dilutive shares, therefore there are no differences with the basic earnings (loss) per share.

NOTE 33: ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL SITUATION OF DISTRIBUTION SEGMENT
As a consequence of the delay in the compliance with certain obligations under the Adjustment Agreement, especially with regard to both the recognition of the semiannual rate adjustments resulting from the MMC, and the carrying out of the Tariff Structure Review (RTI), in addition to the constant increase in operating costs, in fiscal year 2016, Edenor recorded, as it did in fiscal years 2012 and 2014, negative operating and net results, deteriorating once again its economic and financial situation, which had temporarily improved in fiscal year 2015 as a consequence of the issuance by the SE of Resolution No. 32/15, which addressed the need for the adjustment of the distribution companies’ resources and considered that the adoption of urgent and interim measures was necessary in order to maintain the normal provision of the public service, object of the concession.
Despite the above-described situation, Edenor has absorbed the higher costs associated with the provision of the service and complied with the execution of the investment plan and the carrying out of the essential operation and maintenance works that are necessary to maintain the provision of the public service in a satisfactory manner in terms of quality and safety, which, in a context of constant increase in the demand for electricity, has deteriorated Edenor’s economic and financial equation over all these years.
Moreover, the measures adopted in 2016, aimed at resolving the electricity rate situation of the electric power sector, and the application of the RTI as from February 2017 will make it possible to gradually restore the economic and financial equation; thus, Edenor’s Board of Directors is optimistic that the new electricity rates will result in Edenor’s operating once again under a regulatory framework with clear and precise rules, which will make it possible not only to cover the operation costs, afford the investment plans and meet debt interest payments, but also to deal with the impact of the different variables that affect Edenor’s business.
As of June 30, 2017, the result of operations for the six-month period amounts to $ 369 million – profit-, whereas the working capital totals $ 3,824 million – deficit-, which includes the amount owed to CAMMESA for $ 4,182 million (principal plus interest accrued as of June 30, 2017). Edenor has submitted a payment plan proposal based on its available and projected cash flows, in respect of which no reply from CAMMESA has been received at the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements.

NOTE 34: DISCONTINUATION OF THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING BEFORE THE ICSID
On March 28, 2017 the Secretariat of the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID") took note of the discontinuance of the arbitration proceeding brought by EDF International and EASA in August 2003 regarding the breach of Edenor's concession agreement as a result of the passing of Public Emergency and Exchange Rate Regime Reform Act No. 25,561. The claimants' waiver was a condition of Edenor's Contract Renegotiation Memorandum of Understanding which had to be met after the issuance of the tariff scheme resulting from the Full Tariff Review, which was implemented through ENRE Resolution No. 63/2017 dated February 1, 2017 and is effective as from such date.
NOTE 35: REGULARIZATION REGIME (MORATORIUM)
Between the 29th and the 31st of March 2017, the Company adhered to the regularization regime (moratorium) provided for Law No. 27,260 in relation to certain tax claims and provisions. The Company related liabilities were mainly attributable to contingencies identified in Petrobras’s acquisition process including interpretation differences with the Argentine tax authority regarding i) the time of recording well abandonment expenses for income tax purposes, ii) the exemption from the Tax on Personal Assets as Substitute Taxpayer for the shareholder PPSL; iii) the Tariff heading used by the Company for certain exported products; and iv) inaccurate customs regarding the importation of a turbine supplied by Siemens Germany, including certain spare parts that had not been required nor declared by the Company. In relation to the last matter described before, the Company entered into an agreement with Siemens pursuant to which Pampa will receive the reimbursement of related incurred costs. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of the matters that were included in the moratorium amounted to $ 1,332 million and $ 668 million disclosed as provisions and tax payables, respectively.
As the adhesion to the regularization regime provided for benefits of releasing tax fines and reducing compensatory interests, the Company has recorded on March 31, 2017 a net gain after income tax effects of $335 million, which in turn, generated the payment of approximately $171 million to Petrobras Brazil as contingent consideration payable in accordance to the share purchase agreement for the acquisition of Petrobras.On April 18, 2017, the Company paid this obligation.

The plan was ratified and approved by the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on April 18, 2017.
At the date of issuance of these condensed interim financial statements, Edenor awarded a total of 1,618,332 shares to executive directors and managers as additional remuneration for their performance in special processes developed during fiscal year 2016.

NOTE 36:(Continuation)
In accordance with international practices, the purpose of these agreements is to efficiently align the Senior Management’s interests with those of the Company and its shareholders, creating value for them only inasmuch as value is generated for shareholders, that is, if the Company’s market value increases.

The proposed reorganizations will allow the Company to derive significant operative and economic advantages, including, but not limited to, those associated with a higher operating efficiency; an optimized use of available resources, and the streamlining of technical, administrative and financial structures.
In this line, at the beginning of this year the merger of the Company, as absorbing company, with Petrobras Argentina S.A., Petrobras Energia Internacional S.A. and Albares Renovables Argentina S.A. was approved, which as at the date hereof is still pending registration with the Public Registry of Commerce, to which effect the Company is filing all applicable presentations with this body.

On August 1, 2017, YPF entered into an Agreement with the Province of Neuquén for the awarding of an unconventional exploitation concession in the Rincón del Mangrullo area, which will have to be approved by a provincial executive order.
The main commitments of the Agreement are as follows:
- A 35-year extension of the exploitation concession,
- A commitment to pay a Bond, a Corporate Social Responsibility Contribution and the stamp tax for a total amount of U$S 20 million, and
- An investment commitment of U$S 150 million aiming to further the development of the Mulichinco formation (tight gas) and to explore the potential of the Lajas and Vaca Muerta formations.
Although PEPASA will participate in this new unconventional concession in Rincón del Mangrullo jointly with YPF, its investment commitment will amount to 30% of the total amount agreed upon between YPF and the Province of Neuquén as PEPASA’s Agreement with YPF does not include the Vaca Muerta formation.
CTLL’s Loan
On July 28, 2017, CTLL executed a loan agreement for up to U$S 55 million with Finnish Export Credit Limited; this credit facility was structured by Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (“CACIB”) with the purpose of partially financing the installation of a new Wärtsilä engine generator power plant with a 100 MW capacity in Ingeniero White.
The loan’s disbursement is conditional upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent stipulated in different parts of the agreement, which have not been wholly fulfilled yet.

The loan will accrue interest at a variable rate consisting of the six-month LIBO rate plus and a guarantee premium on the principal in consideration of the credit guarantee to be granted by Finnvera Plc and CACIB.
Principal will be repaid in 14 semiannual, equal and consecutive installments, the first one maturing six months as from: (i) the commercial commissioning of the plant, or (ii) November 25, 2017, whichever occurs earlier.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Pampa Energía Sociedad Anónima (Pampa Energía S.A.)
We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed interim statement of financial position of Pampa Energía S.A. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017, and the related unaudited consolidated condensed interim statement of comprehensive income for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the unaudited consolidated condensed interim statement of changes in equity and the unaudited consolidated condensed interim statement of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any materialmodifications that should be made to the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidatedstatement of financial position as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated April 26, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidatedstatement of financial position as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidatedstatement of financial position from which it has been derived.
