NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS PERIOD ENDED AS OF JUNE 30, 2014 AND COMPARATIVE INFORMATION
(amounts in thousands of pesos, except where expressly stated otherwise)
On March 26, 2014, within the process of renegotiation of utilities contracts pursuant to Law No. 25561 and supplementary rules, the Company signed a Provisional Agreement with the Unit for the Renegotiation and Analysis of Utility Contracts (“UNIREN”) whereby a provisional tariff regime was agreed in order to obtain additional funds to those resulting from the enforcement of ENARGAS Resolution No. I/2407 dated December 27, 2012, that established the collection of a fixed amount per invoice depending on the customers’ category, which should be transferred to a trust fund especially created for the execution of works. The amounts the Company collects pursuant to the mentioned Resolution have been considered payments on account in relation with the adjustments as set forth by Temporary Agreement approved by Decree No. 234 dated March 26, 2009.
The Provisional Agreement, ratified by Decree No. 445/2014 dated April 1, 2014 and published in the Official Gazette on April 7, 2014, establishes a provisional tariff regime as from April 1, 2014, consisting in readjust prices and tariffs considering the guidelines necessary to maintain the continuity of service and also sets forth common criteria applicable to all distribution licensees, in accordance with tariff regulations in force, and including changes in the gas price at the transmission system entry point.
The Provisional Agreement also contemplates the inclusion of pass through to tariffs resulting from changes in tax rules, except for the income tax, in accordance with a currently pending resolution. It also includes clauses related to costs oversight tariff revision based on operation and investment cost structure, and price indexes representative of such costs, which under certain premises triggers a revision procedure through which ENARGAS would assess the actual scale of variations in the licensee’s operating and investment costs, and thereby determine whether a distribution tariff adjustment is applicable.
The Provisional Agreement also provides that, from the execution date to December 21, 2015 (the date on which Law No. 25561 expires), UNIREN on behalf of the Grantor and the licensee shall reach a consensus with respect to the methodology, terms and timeline for the signing of the “Acta Acuerdo de Renegociación Contractual Integral” (the Comprehensive Contract Renegotiation Memorandum of Understanding).
On March 27, 2014, the National Government announced the reallocation of subsidies and on March 31, 2014 the Energy Secretariat (“ES”) issued ES Resolution No. 226/14 pursuant to which new natural gas prices and a plan to encourage responsible use of the natural gas were established.
Within this framework, new natural gas prices are established for Residential customers and for small general service customers for each of the production basins and user categories. These new prices will be applied by a mechanism of comparing consumption of same two-month/month period of current and previous year. Furthermore, a three-stage price revision is established to take effect on April 1, 2014, June 1, 2014 and August 1, 2014. For those customers that reduce their consumption over 20%, basin prices as of March 31, 2014 as per ES Resolution No. 1417/2008 will remain the same. Customers whose reduction in consumption is between 5% and 20% will have a special and lower basin natural gas price compared to the price applied to those customers not able to reduce consumption or whose reduction is below 5%.

(amounts in thousands of pesos, except where expressly stated otherwise)
Through Note ENRG/SD No. 03097 dated April 7, 2014, ENARGAS notified Resolution No. I/2851, from the same date, wherein new tariff charts are approved and are stated to take effect on April 1, 2014, June 1, 2014 and August 1, 2014. Such charts display changes in the final tariff of residential and full general service customers. These include changes in the gas price at the transmission system entry point, as a result of the application of the new prices per basin established by the aforementioned ES Resolution No. 226/14, the transportation tariff as a consequence of the new tariff chart effective for gas transportation companies that reflect the terms of their 2008 signed provisional agreements establish, and MetroGAS’ distribution margin after the signing of the Provisional Agreement.
In accordance with the price scheme established by the Energy Secretariat through ES Resolution No. 226/14, three tariff levels are established for each period, which are to be applied to customers according to their consumption in a month/two-month period in relation to the same period of the previous year.
Customers that register a decrease in consumption of over 20% will continue with the same tariff level as that in effect until March 31, 2014. Customers that achieve a reduction between 5% and 20% will be charged a tariff approximately 50% lower in relation with the actual price variation, which will be applied to customers unable to reduce their consumption or whose reduction is below 5%.
Furthermore, ENARGAS establishes that tariff charts applicable until March 31, 2014 shall still be applied to essential users (health care, public education religious institutions, etc.); and consumers eligible pursuant to Notes MPFIPyS N° 10/2009 from the Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investment and Services dated August 13, 2009. Under that mechanism, the Licensee will also have different prices for the gas distribution service according to the customers’ consumption.
Through Note ENRG/SD No. 05747 dated May 13, 2014, ENARGAS notified on Resolution No. I/2904 from same date, whereby the methodology for the determination of user’s category based gas supply as from of April 1st, 2014 is approved.
Considering the aforementioned, the real impact will depend on a variable beyond the Company’s control, which is the reduction in consumption customers may have, which also will not only depend on their individual actions aimed at reducing the use of gas, but also on the effects of weather factors among others on the compared periods.
However, based on the Company´s estimates, the effect of the tariff increases would enable MetroGAS to continue operating as a going concern.

MetroGAS’ shareholders decided at the Shareholders meeting held on the 28th of April of 2014 to proceed to a mandatory reduction of the company’s issued capital. Therefore, negative retained earnings corresponding to the business year ended on December 31, 2013 were partially affected against the Legal reserve for Ps.45,376 thousand and against Adjustments to issued capital for the sum of Ps. 684,769 thousand, keeping a negative balance of Ps.147,937 thousand in Unappropriated retained earnings as of such date, which added to the negative result for the six months period ended on June 30, 2014 amounting to Ps. 333,205 thousand, yielded a total amount of Ps.481,142 thousand as of June 30, 2014 for Unappropriated retained earnings.
Notwithstanding the actions taken to revert the situation as of December 31, 2013 where the company is affected by the provisions of Clause 206 of the Law 19.550 (Corporations Law), should the negative results persist during 2014 the company will need to take additional measures to reestablish equity balance.

The amounts the Company collects pursuant to the mentioned Resolution have been considered payments on account in relation with the adjustments as set forth by Temporary Agreement approved by Decree No. 234 dated March 26, 2009.
The Provisional Agreement, ratified by Decree No. 445/2014 dated April 1, 2014 and published in the Official Gazette on April 7, 2014, establishes a provisional tariff regime as from April 1, 2014, consisting in readjust prices and tariffs considering the guidelines necessary to maintain the continuity of service and also sets forth common criteria applicable to all distribution licensees, in accordance with tariff regulations in force, and including changes in the gas price at the transmission system entry point (see Note 2.1).

Independent Auditors’ Report
(Review of condensed interim consolidated financial statements)
To the President and Directors of
METROGAS SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA
Gregorio Aráoz de Lamadrid 1360
Buenos Aires, Argentina
1. | Identification of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements subject to review |
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of METROGAS SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA (an Argentine corporation, hereinafter mentioned as “METROGAS S.A.” or the “Company”) which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and the supplemental information included in their Notes 1 to 29.
The figures and other information corresponding to the fiscal year finished on December 31, 2013 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, after giving consideration of what is mentioned in Note 3 to the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements, are an integral part of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements mentioned above and are intended to be read only in relation to the figures and other information of the current interim period.
2. | Company’s Board of Directors responsibility for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements |
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”) as accounting standards, as they were approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and incorporated by the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”) to its regulation, and, therefore, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Moreover, the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible of an internal control system as it determines necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatements.

3. | Auditor’s responsibility |
Our responsibility is to report on these accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements based on our review. We have conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (“ISRE”) adopted by the FACPCE through the Technical Resolution N° 33, as they were issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (“IAASB”) of the International Federation of Accountants (“IFAC”). These standards require that we comply with ethical requirements.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, we are in a position to report that nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of METROGAS S.A. corresponding to the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 are not presented, in all of its significant matters, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.
5. | Additional explanatory paragraphs |
Without modifying our previous conclusion, we emphasize that as mentioned in more detail in Note 5.1 to the consolidated financial statements of METROGAS S.A. as of December 31, 2013, the Company has prepared projections with the aim of determining the recoverable value of properties, plant and equipment, based on assumptions made related to the expected final outcome of the tariff renegotiation process. The cash flows and actual future results may differ from the estimates and assessments made by the Management as of the date of preparation of those financial statements. In this regard, we are not in a position to estimate whether the assumptions used by the Management to prepare its projections will materialize in the future and, therefore, if the recoverable values of properties, plant and equipment will exceed the respective net book values.
6. | English translation of statutory condensed interim consolidated financial statements |
This report and the condensed interim consolidated financial statements referred to in section 1 have been translated into English for the convenience of English-speaking readers. The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the English translation of those originally issued by METROGAS SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA in Spanish and presented in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34.
