PROSPECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011 The international financial crisis which began around September 2008 has not seriously affected Latin American economies and, mainly due to commodities prices, we expect to face increasing activity within a reasonably favorable context, since clients are going ahead with several investment projects in the fields where we act: energy, oil and gas, mining and infrastructure. In the Oil and Gas sector, the Company is closely following the development of projects in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Canada, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Trinidad & Tobago, and of some selected cases in other countries. We foresee important opportunities for the execution of engineering and construction works in regasification facilities in Uruguay; petrochemical and refining developments as well as gas transportation systems in Brazil and Peru, and of oil refineries such as Barrancabermeja and Cartagena (Colombia) and Point a Pierre (Trinidad & Tobago), where we plan to participate in possible future bidding processes. In Argentina, we also expect new investments in this sector, especially in new processing units at existing refineries and at new green field refineries. We are also considering opportunities in oil sands upstream facilities in Canada, and in fertilizer and offshore developments in Brazil. Particularly in Brazil, the Company has the strategy to focus on the ambitious program of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (PETROBRAS) and other players for the development of the offshore oil and gas fields, based on its already operative offshore yards. Regarding the Mining sector, basic and precious metals are entering once again in a cycle of huge investments, so we expect an increase of activities. Brazil, Argentina, 12 TEI&C S.A. Chile, Mexico, Peru, Panama and Colombia are good markets in this regard, with several new prospects at junior level and bigger copper, iron ore, gold and silver mines in an investment phase. Coal is also important in Colombia, and opportunities in the germinal iron ore mines of Uruguay could be the origin of new contracts. Some of these projects will also include works in infrastructure and pipelines with related pumping facilities. ALBERTA CLIPPER PROJECT IN CANADA. In the Infrastructure sector, the Company will continue analyzing several opportunities regarding energy projects and civil infrastructure fields, such as transmission lines in Uruguay, Mexico, Brazil and Peru, roads and bridges in Uruguay and Argentina, and water and sewage systems in Colombia, Uruguay and Trinidad &Tobago, just to mention but a few. In the case of Argentina, it is likely to try to participate in relevant infrastructure projects, such as new thermal power plants (at least five projects are under a call for bids), Gasoducto del Noreste Argentino (GNEA), railroad works and new subways in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Besides, there are plans for several hydroelectric projects in several Argentine provinces. The briefings given above show the Company’s willingness and carry on efforts to maintain its presence and leadership in the Americas engineering and construction market. It also shows its skills in the successful completion of important projects of a multidisciplinary nature within quality, cost, budget and health, environment and safety compliance. The approach in all these opportunities will be to work closely with our clients to better understand their needs and bring value added to their operations. 13 Board of Directors’ Report ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION Summary of Consolidated Income Statement 12.31.10 06.30.10 (6 Months) (12 Months) 783.9 1,530.3 Cost of sales (662.1) (1,225.8) Gross profit 121.8 304.5 General, administrative and selling expenses (86.1) (135.4) USD millions Revenues from construction contracts and other services Other operating results 1.8 (4.9) 37.5 164.2 – 0.2 (1.6) (1.4) 0.4 2.7 Income before income tax 36.3 165.7 Income tax 10.8 (56.5) Income from continuing operations 47.1 109.2 0.4 5.2 47.5 114.4 44.3 109.8 Operating income Gain from the purchase and sale of shares and investments Financial results, net Result from investments in associated companies Income from discontinued operations Net income Attributable to: Equity holder of TEI&C Non-controlling interests 3.2 4.6 47.5 114.4 14 TEI&C S.A.

PROCUREMENT The main works performed regarding supplies are related to the projects under development stated in the Engineering section. The goals set for this six-month period are focused on the contribution from procurement to improving the Company’s competitiveness by means of a comprehensive revision of the respective purchasing strategies and of processes and procedures, in view of optimizing costs, reliability and transparency in management. In this respect, the Company put the emphasis on the specialization of procurement headcount and the increasing use of IT tools, with a focus on the following aspects of procurement management: The Company continued with the program for the total renewal of TEPAM equipment in ten years. The goal is to set the age of such machinery in five years to help reduce repair costs and obtain a competitive improvement. In the workshop area, the construction of a prefabricated Warehouse was started for piping within TEPAM Argentina site to service several projects in progress. In Chile, TEPAM consolidated its presence by acquiring a site in the Second Region, outside the city of Antofagasta, on National Road 5, La Negra Industrial Park. In addition, the Company installed at Chincha, Peru (approximately 200 km south of Lima) a yard to serve as an operating base for future projects in this country. TEPAM investment value in machinery, vehicles, and tools for the July-December 2010 period was USD 21.1 million. i) Increasing the contribution of value by focusing the purchasing strategy on the critical success factors, management total cost, productivity and strategic factors. ii) Encouraging the specialization of the sector and, consequently, organizing the structure based on demand. iii) Boosting the use of IT supporting systems for bids, supplier management and management indicators of the department and of each of the projects. In addition, work has been done on the development of new suppliers from Asian countries. During the next fiscal year, the Company will keep on working on the abovementioned actions which will impact on the management indicators defined. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT (HSE) TEI&C is a company acting in several countries, with different cultures and degrees of evolution in relation to prevention; however, the Company has managed to incorporate it as an intrinsic value to its activities, giving prevention top priority in its management. TEI&C has developed a preventive vision focused on a commitment to safety, occupational health, environmental protection and the welfare of communities. In this respect, our Integrated Management System (IMS) has proved to be effective to anticipate and prevent accidents and unsafe conditions concerning industrial safety, health and environmental protection. TECHINT EQUIPMENT DIVISION (TEPAM) During this period, in addition to the administration, maintenance, repair, assistance and allocation of equipment to the different projects, TEPAM continued to provide assistance to the Warehouse and General Services areas, with the purpose of supporting the start-up of works and, subsequently, monitoring their needs during the development of projects. Since its implementation, the IMS has allowed to reduce global accident rates (Frequency Rate and Seriousness Rate) by over 85%, and this shows a substantial improvement in accidentology related to works, an issue which is acknowledged and valued by clients. The system is focused on the identification of risks associated to the work developed by the Company, 37 Board of Directors’ Report compliance with local laws, application of coherent preventive procedures for all the Company’s units together with an ongoing and widespread training. The IMS is also innovative regarding methods, such as behavior-based safety and preventive Safety Observation at Work (OST). To minimize the repetition of incidents and accidents, in addition to performing other actions addressed to equipment and facilities and to safety in the working place, individual performance is monitored by means of a specific indicator, TACOP [“Tablero de Comando de Actividades Operativas de Prevención”] – Preventive Actions Command Switchboard, PACS). This results in the promotion of a strong commitment of employees to become aware and internalize preventive conducts, and this commitment also applies to sub-contractors. The IMS is externally audited by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and certified under international standards (ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007); a high degree of compliance with such standards has been verified in all cases. We must state that preventive actions in the last period have resulted in: From our processes standpoint, the Company is clearly oriented to continuous improvement and pays special attention to efficiency, simplification of processes and value added in each of its operations. In the July-December 2010 period, the following actions have been completed: – Substantial completion of the review and update of the Company’s Document Base and progress in the research and development of a knowledge management model to be gradually implemented. – Redefinition and establishment of the main quality indicators for products associated to the projects developed by the Company. – Quantitative and qualitative improvement of client satisfaction measurement in the different projects, by means of a more in-depth cross-sectional analysis of information and by generating improvement actions. – Boosting and improvement in measurement and use of quality management indicators for projects, in particular the PQI (Project Quality Index). – Improvement of the single database of findings follow-up, by establishing the status follow-up of each one of them – Boosting of the safe operating discipline. in the projects, as well as an alert system for the different – Solid preventive interaction with senior management. functional areas with a direct responsibility. – More severity in the use of field managerial tools. – Improvement of analysis of risks related to change management. – In December 2009, the Company obtained a new certification pursuant to ISO 9001:2008 on Quality – Improvement of preventive revision of vehicles, equipment Management Systems (certification effective since 1996) and qualification of drivers/operators. and, during 2010, it was submitted to two external audits, with excellent results. QUALITY The Company is always seeking to meet and exceed the expectations of its clients, shareholders, collaborators, suppliers and the communities where it operates. In particular, with respect to our clients, this entails a special focus on the quality of the products and services provided. The Company has decided to maintain the direction adopted in previous years, focused on the unification and improvement of methodologies and the reliance on truthful and updated information so as to minimize risks. It also seeks to prevent problems and ensure the predictability of results in order to comply with the commitment to meet and exceed the expectations of all related stakeholders. 38 TEI&C S.A. TECHNOLOGY AND IT SYSTEMS HUMAN RESOURCES During this period, progress continued to be made in several IT projects related to improvements in technological infrastructure, upgrade to new software versions and implementation of new solutions to cover different business processes. The most outstanding IT projects were the following: Human resources management is a pillar of business management with direct impact on results. Therefore, the Company has human resources processes, which assure the availability of talents and adequate profiles to achieve the business strategy. Among such processes, we find the Young Professionals Program, consisting in a program structured to speed up the insertion of new graduates in the business, through intensive technical and management training, and a rotation plan exposing them to several training experiences. Another process of human resources management is the strict follow-up of key personnel by the top management. – Migration from ERP SAP 4.7 to the new version SAP ECC 6.0, basically conducting a technical migration that will allow to be on a more updated platform to apply new functions and to facilitate the system adjustment upon external requirements. – First implementation stage of SAP HR Human Resources, resulting in the operation of the modules of Personnel Management and organizational structure for personnel paid on a monthly basis in Argentina, as a first step of implementation within a global project. – Update of the central infrastructure of datacenters, migrating to a server virtualization technology, which facilitates management and optimizes the existing infrastructure. During this period, Engineering has continued making progress on the use and implementation of new plant design and simulation software for the purpose of leading engineering of projects. These tools include: Intergraph Smart Plant Enterprise (plant design system consisting of processes, mechanics, equipment, electricity and instruments, etc.), Thermoflow (for simulation and design of gas, combined cycle and carbon power plants), Metsim (metallurgical simulator for mining processes), ANSYS (simulation of 3D fluids and structural calculation), etc. In addition, works were developed to improve and support prevention management systems, thus improving management information as a whole. Besides, progress was made in the implementation of an internal management tool related to incident management and IT settings. During this period, a new edition of the Postgraduate Course in Project Management, an in-house program addressed to professionals in different areas of the Company and its subsidiaries with potential to hold key positions in project management. This program and other programs developed at senior management and supervision levels seek to develop both technical and managerial competences. The boosting of the employee performance evaluation system is essential, since it constitutes a fundamental management tool for the Company. In addition, during this period, a new working environment survey was conducted among our employees: there was a general improvement in the indicators, which, in turn, reflects a solid commitment of our people to the Company. We would like to thank all our clients, suppliers, banking institutions and above all, our employees whose work on a daily basis have contributed to these results.

For the purpose of unification of the end of the fiscal year of engineering and construction companies, the governing bodies have determined December 31 as the most suitable date. On December 2, 2009 a Board of Directors´ Meeting decided to change the closing date of the fiscal year to December 31. During the current six-month period, TEI&C experienced some changes in its investment portfolio as regards its participating interests in companies related to the engineering, construction and service businesses, which are detailed as follows: – During this period, the Company contributed to Preglosid S.L.U. (“PREGLOSID”) 3,591,000 US Treasury Bills, representing the sum of USD 3,589,897 (equal to EUR 2,868,934) and the receivable for the balance of a loan for USD 194,762.49 (equal to EUR 146,658.50). By means of these transactions, PREGLOSID increased its capital stock, and the new participating interest of the Company is 6,500,003 shares plus an issue premium for EUR 5,490,335.08. – In August 2010, the Argentine subsidiary Techint Compañía Técnica Internacional S.A.C.I. (“TEARG”) registered a branch in the Republic of Brazil, with a capital stock of R$ 100,000. – In order to comply with the provisions of the laws of the Republic of Uruguay, the Board of Directors of the indirect subsidiary in such country, Techint Compañía Técnica Internacional S.A.C.I. (“TEURU”), made a partial capitalization of the capital adjustment in November 2010. – In December 2010, the Company and TEARG subscribed and paid in a capital increase in Techint Engenharia e Construção S.A. (“TEBRA”) for R$ 40,000,000. The contribution was made taking into account the relevant shareholding, i.e. TEI&C paid in the sum of R$ 38,400,000 (equal to USD 22,628,167.35). Thus the Company now holds 6,391,747 shares of the Brazilian company. – In September 2010, the Canadian indirect subsidiary Techint E&C Inc. (“TECAN”), created a new company in Canada called Techint Construction Limited (“TECON”), upon the subscription of a capital stock of CAD 250,000. – During this period, the Mexican company Techint S.A. de C.V. (“TEMEX”), continued with transactions aimed at adjusting its participating interests to the requirements of its business areas. Thus, in August 2010, it created KST Electric Power Company S.A. de C.V., where TEMEX, through TECNOPOWER S.A., holds 10% of the capital stock. Besides, the companies Elina Sureste S.A. de C.V. and Elina de Occidente S.A. de C.V. were wound up. – The corporate reorganization among Argentine companies that took place at the end of the previous fiscal year, consisting in the capitalization of Tecnomatter Instalaciones y Construcciones S.A.I.F. (“TMR”) and Sidernet S.A. (“SDT”), the spin off of TMR and the subsequent merger of the spin off with SDT, was registered before the Argentine Inspection Board on December 13, 2010. 61 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. – During the current period, the subsidiary TENCO started negotiations aimed at transferring the shares of its subsidiary company Saudi Techint Ltd. Therefore, assets and liabilities related to such company have been reclassified as “assets of disposal group classified as held for sale” and “liabilities of disposal group classified as held for sale” as of December 31, 2010 (See notes 11 and 31). During the previous fiscal year, TEI&C experienced some changes in its investment portfolio which are detailed as follows: – In September 2009, the Company contributed to Techint Ingeniería y Construcciones S.L.U. (“TIC”) the direct participating interests it held as of such date in Argentine engineering and construction companies, i.e. 140,516,186 shares, representing 97.70538% of the capital stock of Techint Inversiones S.A.I.F. and 125,981,909 shares of TEARG, representing 38.94340% of the capital stock and voting rights.

After the recomposition of capital of Terminales Portuarias del Pacífico S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“TPP”), subsidiary of TEMEX, Carbonser S.A. de C.V. sold its whole participating interest in TPP. Finally, in June 2010, TEMEX acquired 25% of the shares of Mexcarbón S.A. de C.V. and of Carbonser, S.A. de C.V., since the relevant contract undertaking such purchase had been executed in November 2008. The difference between the price paid and the book value was charged to equity as capital surplus (USD 2.6 million). In December 2009, Tecnopower S.A. de C.V. was created, but to this date this company has not engaged in any business activities. Besides, TEMEX wound up the companies the purpose of which had already been performed or which were inactive, including the following: Tecnomatter, S.A. de C.V., Elina 407, S.A. de C.V., Elinatech S.A. de C.V. – In March 2010, PREGLOSID S.L.U. subscribed and paid in a capital increase in its subsidiary Sidernet Mexicana S.A. de C.V. for 21,398,889 shares.

All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. – In June 2010, the shareholders of the Argentine companies TMR and SDT resolved a corporate reorganization, consisting in the capitalization of both companies, the spin off of TMR and the subsequent merger of the spin off with SDT, the latter becoming the successor for the supply of steel and iron services. Taking into account the change of the fiscal year closing date, stated in note 1, the accounting information included in these consolidated financial statements for the six-month period began on July 1, 2010 and ended on December 31, 2010, cannot be compared to accounting information for the annual fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. – On July 21, 2009 TEARG founded Techint Ingeniería y Construcción Bolivia S.A. to take part in construction projects for buildings, rouds, dams, dwelling houses and transformation industrial plants for any kind of industries and activities. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current six-month period. These consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 29, 2011. note 2. Accounting policies The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. a. Basis of preparation The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its best judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or the areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.d. Classification of Venezuela as a hyperinflationary economy During the previous fiscal year, a number of factors arose in the Venezuelan economy that led the Company to reconsider the treatment it follows with respect to the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries. Within these factors it is worth highlighting the level of cumulative inflation over the past three years; the restrictions to the official foreign exchange market and, finally, the devaluation of the Bolívar Fuerte. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of machinery, equipment and vehicles (“Revaluation of PP&E”), availableAs a result, in accordance with IFRS, Venezuela must for-sale assets, financial assets and liabilities (including be considered a hyperinflationary economy. The main derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, implications of this circumstance are as follows: employee benefits and translation of subsidiaries whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary – Adjustment of the income statement to reflect the financial loss caused by the impact of inflation economy. The consolidated financial statements are in the period/year on net monetary assets (loss of presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (“USD”), which purchasing power). is the functional currency of TEI&C. 63 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. – All components of the financial statements of the Venezuelan companies have been translated at the closing exchange rate, which at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was 4.3 Bolívares Fuertes per USD. The revised standard clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other governmentrelated entities. Changes in accounting policy and disclosures Standards and amended standards mandatory for the first time for the Financial Statements beginning July 1, 2010 and adopted by the Company None of the standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to existing standards which are effective for the Company for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 were relevant to the operation of the Company, and therefore, no impact resulted from the application of those standards, amendments and interpretations on these consolidated financial statements. Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company The following standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published and are not yet effective for the Company in the six-month period ended December 31, 2010: IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, issued in November 2009. This addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and is likely to affect the Company’s accounting for its financial assets. The standard is not applicable until January 1, 2013, but is available for early adoption. The Company’s management has not yet assessed the potential impact that the application of IFRS 9 will have on the Company’s financial statements. IAS 24 (Revised), “Related party disclosures”, issued in November 2009. It supersedes IAS 24, ‘Related party disclosures’, issued in 2003. IAS 24 (revised) is mandatory for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier application, in whole or in part, is permitted. The application of this revised standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As follows, other standards and interpretations to existing standards not yet effective and not adopted by the Company before, though they are not relevant to the Company’s operations: – IFRS 1 (Amendments), “First time adoption, on financial instrument disclosures”. – IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments”. – IFRIC 14 (Amendment), “Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement”. – IAS 19 and IFRIC 14 (Amendment), “Asset Limit for Defined Benefit, Minimum Requirements for Provision of resources (funding) and their Interaction”. Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards In May 2010, the IASB published the annual improvements with several international accounting and financial reporting standards amendments.Entities shall apply these amendments for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. If entities apply these amendments to an earlier period, they shall disclose this fact. The Company’s management estimates that the application of these amendments will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. 64 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. b. Consolidation Subsidiary companies Subsidiaries are entities which are controlled by TEI&C as a result of its ability to govern an entity’s financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than 50% of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is exercised by the Company and are no longer consolidated from the date control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by TEI&C. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of TEI&C share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. If the companies acquired were under common control, the assets and liabilities of such companies (and their respective subsidiaries) are accounted for at the predecessor’s cost, reflecting the carrying amount of such assets and liabilities contributed to the Company. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the financial position of the abovementioned companies at historical book values and no adjustment has been made to reflect fair values at the time of the contribution. The difference between the price paid and the historical book value was charged to equity. Material intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between TEI&C and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by TEI&C. According to the laws of the countries of certain subsidiaries, a portion of the profit of the period/year is separated to constitute statutory reserves until they reach statutory capped amounts. These legal reserves are not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. See note 25 to the consolidated financial statements for the list of consolidated subsidiaries. Transactions and non-controlling interests The Company treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of TEI&C. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. When TEI&C ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. Associated companies Associated companies are entities in which TEI&C has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights (see note 6). Investments in associated companies are accounted for by the equity methods of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The Company´s investment in associated companies includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss. 65 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. The Company’s share of its associated companies’ postacquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. The cumulative postacquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Company’s share of losses in an associated company equals or exceeds its interest in such company, including any other unsecured receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associated companies. joint ventures that result from the Company’s purchase of assets from the joint ventures until it re-sells the assets to an independent party. However, a loss on the transaction is recognized immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of current assets, or an impairment loss. c. Foreign currency translation i. Functional and presentation currency Unrealized gains on transactions between TEI&C and its associated companies are eliminated to the extent of TEI&C’s interest in the associated companies. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Financial statements of associated companies have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with IFRS. Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each entity in which TEI&C holds participating interests are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of TEI&C. The consolidated companies’ first record transactions using their functional currency and their financial statements are then translated to U.S. dollars with the only purpose of being consolidated by TEI&C. Joint Ventures ii. Balances and transactions in currencies other than the Joint Ventures (“JV”) are jointly controlled entities, which involve the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity in which each venturer has an interest. functional currency TEI&C’s interest in jointly controlled entities is accounted for by the proportionate consolidation method. TEI&C consolidates its share of the joint ventures’ individual income and expenses, assets and liabilities on a lineby-line basis with similar items in TEI&C’s financial statements. See note 20 to the consolidated financial statements. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transactions, and the corresponding exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. Monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the period/year-end exchange rate. iii. Translation of balances and results of consolidated companies The Company recognises the portion of gains or losses on the sale of assets by the Company to the joint ventures that is attributable to the other ventures. The Company does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the The results and financial position of all the consolidated companies that have a functional currency different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 66 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. – assets and liabilities of each balance sheet are translated at the closing rate on the date of that balance sheet; – income and expenses for each income statement are translated at an average exchange rate; (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); – all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity. In the case of sale or other disposition of any such subsidiary, any accumulated translation adjustment would be recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sales. The financial statements of subsidiaries companies whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are adjusted for inflation in accordance with the procedure described in the following paragraph prior to their translation to USD. Once restated, all the items of the financial statements are converted to USD using the closing exchange rate. Amounts shown for prior years for comparative purposes are not modified. To determine the existence of hyperinflation, TEI&C assesses the qualitative characteristics of the economic environment of the country, such as the trends in inflation rates over the previous three years. The financial statements of companies whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy are adjusted to reflect the changes in purchasing power of the local currency, such that all items in the statement of financial position not expressed in current terms (non-monetary items) are restated by applying a general price index at the financial statement closing date, and all income and expense, profit and loss are restated monthly by applying appropriate adjustment factors. The difference between initial and adjusted amounts is taken to profit or loss. d. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires Management to estimate and evaluate both recorded and contingent assets and liabilities as of a certain date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the reporting period. The future actual results may differ from estimates made as of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There follows a description of the most relevant estimates used to prepare these consolidated financial statements: Percentage of completion method The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in accounting for its contract revenues and expenses. Use of the percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to estimate the services performed to date as a proportion of the total services to be performed. Furthermore, in determining the contract revenue, TEI&C considers the estimated outcome for each of the construction contracts which are in progress. Income taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. TEI&C recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made. 67 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. Allowances for doubtful accounts Management maintains an allowance for trade and other receivables to account for estimated losses resulting from the inability of clients to make required payments. When evaluating the adequacy of an allowance for trade receivables, Management bases its estimates on the aging of accounts receivable balances and historical write-off experience, client credit worthiness and changes in client payment terms. assets are valued at their acquisition or construction cost less accumulated depreciation. The straight-line method has been used to calculate depreciation, by applying annual ratios sufficient to terminate the value of each item as of the end of their estimated useful life or upon termination of concession, whichever occurs first. Useful lives used to calculate depreciation charges Other estimations In addition, the Company´s Management makes estimations to calculate, at certain moment the recoverable amounts of assets, the depreciation and amortization and the provision for cost and contingencies. are as follows: Buildings and improvements 20-50 years Production equipment10-20 years Vehicles, furniture and fixtures, and other equipment 3-10 years Land Not depreciated e. Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) Machinery, equipment, vehicles and others As a general rule, TEI&C has adopted historical acquisition or construction cost less accumulated depreciation as the measurement criterion for PP&E. However, in the case of machinery, equipment and vehicles used in the construction business, TEI&C has adopted fair value as the measurement criterion (see note 4). Land and buildings Land and buildings are stated at historical cost. Buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method, by applying annual ratios sufficient to terminate the value of each item as of the end of their estimated useful life. The residual values and useful lives of significant machinery, construction equipment and vehicles are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each period/year-end date. Where the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Fixed assets of Ferroexpreso Pampeano S.A.C. (“FEPSA”) Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus are transferred to retained earnings. These assets represent improvements on the assets received under concession by FEPSA, as well as those devoted to service rendering, which will be transferred to the assignor upon termination of the concession. Such Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. 68 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. f. Intangible assets Systems development Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (three to five years). Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are charged to expenses as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by TEI&C and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overhead. Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives (not exceeding three years). Property and equipment and other non-current assets subject to depreciation, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset net selling price and its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. h. Financial assets The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. Goodwill Compañía Inversora Ferroviaria S.A.I.F. (“COINFER”) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Goodwill represents the greater cost derived from the investment in the subsidiary FEPSA as a result of the compulsory subscription and payment of the portion of capital corresponding to Ferrocarriles Argentinos (16%) and the portion corresponding to staff (4%) pursuant to the concession contract. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets. Goodwill is valued at original cost, less accumulated amortization; it is calculated over the term of the concession of the service provided by FEPSA. g. Impairment of non-financial assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example Goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the date of the statement of financial position. These are classified as non-current assets. 69 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. Available-for-sale financial asset j. Derivative financial instruments Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in noncurrent assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Recognition and measurement The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. TEI&C also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade - date - the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or losses are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Availablefor-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. i. Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Cash flow hedge The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives denominated and qualified as cash flow hedging is disclosed in other Comprehensive income. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately disclosed in the consolidated income statement. The amounts accumulated in equity are disclosed in the consolidated income statement in the periods in which the hedged item affects gains and losses. k. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value less the corresponding allowance for obsolescence. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and direct selling expenses. In general, cost is determined by using weighted average price. The allowance for obsolescence has been calculated based on Management’s analysis of aging. 70 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. l. Construction contracts work in progress A construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and functions or their ultimate purpose or use. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be reliably estimated, contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable those costs will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognized when incurred. When the outcome of a construction contract can be reliably estimated, contract revenue and contract costs are acknowledged by the percentage of completion method. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the relationship contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total costs for the contract. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is immediately recognized as an expense. Costs incurred in the year in connection with future activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in determining the stage of completion. They are presented as inventories, prepayments or other assets, depending on their nature. When a construction contract includes reimbursable works and the Company is responsible for providing design, engineering and construction services and labor and all equipment and materials, construction equipment and supplies, the amount of these works is recognized in revenues and costs. for construction contracts for all contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognized losses) exceed progress billings. TEI&C presents as a liability (within Construction contracts work in progress) the gross amount due to clients for construction contract for all contracts in progress for which progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognized losses). m. Other investments Other investments include deposits in investments funds and equity instruments, which are classified as financial assets “at fair value through profit and loss” or “available for sale”. Other investment funds comprise mainly financial resources within offshore trusts, the purpose of which is exclusively to ensure that the financial needs for the normal development of their operations are met. Investments in companies in which TEI&C has less than 20% of the voting rights are valued at cost, because its fair value cannot be reliably measured. n. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are initially measured at their fair value, which is generally their nominal value, unless the effect of discounting is material, subsequently measured at amortized cost less provision for impairment. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. o. Trade and other payables TEI&C shows as an asset (within Construction contracts work in progress) the gross amount due from clients Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course 71 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. p. Cash and cash equivalents Assets recorded in cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair market value or at historical cost which approximates fair market value. For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. q. Equity Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The balances of the consolidated statement of changes in equity at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 include: – The value of share capital, capital surplus, reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus, legal reserve, and retained earnings in accordance with IFRS. – The currency translation differences of TEI&C’s subsidiaries. – Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Dividends distributions are recorded in the Company’s financial statements when Company’s shareholders have the right to receive the payment, or when interim dividends are approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with the by-laws of the Company. r. Borrowings Borrowings are initially recorded based on the fair value of the net proceeds. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the life of the borrowings. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless TEI&C has an unconditional right and firm intention to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. s. Current and deferred income tax The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws in force in the countries in which TEI&C and each one of its subsidiaries operate. Deferred income tax is recorded in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Currently enacted tax rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available to offset temporary differences. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. t. Employee benefits Certain TEI&C’s subsidiaries have in force benefit plans under the modality of “non-funded defined benefits” 72 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. and “other long-term benefits” which, subject to certain conditions established by such companies, are granted during the term of employment and after retirement, which plans are recorded following the guidelines of accounting rules and regulations in force and effect. lives of employees based on actuarial calculations. This provision is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows, using applicable interest rates. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized over the average remaining service lives of employees. The provisioned liabilities for such employee benefits are recorded at the current value of the future flows of funds, the amount being charged during the relevant employees’ remaining years of services up to the moment when the conditions necessary for the granting of each benefit are satisfied. Such liabilities are calculated by independent actuaries, at least once a year, using the “Projected credit unit” method. Benefits provided by the plan are calculated on a sevenyear salary average. Other subsidiaries have implemented a supplementary pension benefit plan with two programs: “PGBL - Plano Gerador de Benefício Livre” and “VGBL - Programa de Seguro de Vida com Cobertura por Sobrevivência”. These programs are generally funded through payments by the subsidiaries to independent insurance companies. Both programs are defined contribution plans. Pension plans and other post-retirement benefits Certain TEI&C’s subsidiaries officers are covered by a specific employee retirement plan designed to provide retirement, termination and other benefits to those officers. TEI&C’s subsidiaries are accumulating assets for the ultimate payment of those benefits in the form of investments. The investments are not part of a particular plan, nor are they segregated from TEI&C’s other assets. Due to these conditions, the plan is classified as “unfunded” under IFRS. Retirement costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method: the cost of providing retirement benefits is charged to the statement of income over the service The laws in the different countries in which TEI&C’s subsidiaries carry out their operations provide for pension benefits to be paid to retired employees from government pension plans and/or private funds managed plans. Amounts payable to such plans are generally calculated based on a percentage of employee salaries and are accounted for on an accrual basis. Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. TEI&C’s subsidiaries recognize termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal, or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than twelve months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value. Profit-sharing and bonus plans A liability for employee benefits in the form of profitsharing and bonus plans is recognized in other provisions when there is no realistic alternative but to settle the liability and provided at least one of the following conditions is met: 73 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. – there is a formal plan and the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of issuing the financial statements; or v. Revenue recognition Revenues and cost recognition for long-term construction contracts See note 2.l. – past practice has created a valid expectation in employees that they will receive a bonus/profit-sharing and the amount can be determined before the financial statements are issued. Liabilities for profit-sharing and bonus plans are expected to be settled within twelve months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled. Contribution plans Sales of services The Company sells maintenance services. The revenue is generally recognized in the period the services are provided, using a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Other revenues Other revenues earned by TEI&C are recognized on the following bases: A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the companies pay fixed contributions to a separate entity. – Interest income: on the effective yield basis. Companies have no further payment obligations once – Dividend income from investments in other companies: when TEI&C’s right to collect is established. the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are w. Leases due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future rewards of ownership are transferred from the lessor payments is available. to TEI&C are classified as finance leases. At the commencement of the lease term, TEI&C recognizes Contributions by the companies include: (a) Basic contribution finance leases as assets and liabilities in the statement – Companies are committed to contribute amounts equal financial position at amounts equal to the value of to the amounts contributed by the employees up to certain the leased property or, if lower, the present value limits, (b) Extraordinary contributions- Are non-mandatory of the minimum lease payments, each determined contributions that can be made on a voluntary basis either by at the inception of the lease.

When TEI&C expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the Each lease payment is allocated between the liability reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only and finance charges. The corresponding rental when the reimbursement is virtually certain. obligations, net of finance charges, are included 74 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. in borrowing. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over their estimated useful lives. See amounts of assets and liabilities held under finance leases in note 22. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. note 3. Financial risk management The nature of TEI&C’s operations as well as its multinational character expose the Company to a variety of risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency, exchange rates, capital risk, concentration of credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rates risk. The nature of its contracts implies that TEI&C has to manage risks regarding uncertain conditions in the hiring of procurement, which is usually a large part of the scope of work. To manage the high volatility related to these financial matters, Management evaluates exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of its global and multinational activity. For some of these exposures, the Company or its subsidiaries enter into derivative transactions in order to manage potential adverse impacts on the Company’s financial performance. x. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and discontinued operations a. Capital Risk Assets of disposal group and liabilities associated with these assets are classified as “assets and liabilities classified as held for sale” when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. The Company seeks to maintain an adequate debt to total equity ratio considering the risks involved in the industry and the markets where it operates. The period/year end ratio of debt to total equity (where “debt” comprises all financial borrowings and “equity” is the sum of financial borrowings and shareholders’ equity) is 0.06 as of December 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010. The Company does not have to comply with regulatory capital adequancy requirements. When the Company intends to dispose of a business component that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations it classifies such operations as discontinued. The post tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations is shown as a single amount on the face of the consolidated income statement, separate from the other results of the Company. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale. b. Foreign exchange risk TEI&C’s business activities are conducted in the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. However, the Company transacts in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. There are significant monetary balances held by the Company at each period/year-end that are denominated in US dollars. It is worth stating that the US dollar is not the functional currency in some subsidiaries. 75 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)

The Company’s net exposure to the currency other than the functional currency is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by hedging certain expected cash flows with foreign exchange derivative contracts. 77 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. c. Credit risk Most accounts receivable relate to clients operating in a range of industries and countries with contract which require ongoing payments as the development project progresses, upon the rendering of services or upon completion and delivering of the project. It is normal practice that the Company reserves the right to suspend the project if there is a remarkable breach of the contract term, in particular the non-payment of amounts owed. In general the greatest risk for such assets is the risk of not collecting a trade account receivable. This is because, a) it may be a significant value in the development of works or in the provision of services; b) it is beyond the Company’s control. However, the risk of customers being unable to make a payment in such contracts is considered to be low, and typically relate to problems characterized as technical matters, i.e relating to the risk inherent in the service rendered, under the Company’s control. The following table sets forth details of the age of trade receivables: Trade Receivables Not Due Past due 1 - 180 days > 180 days December 31, 2010 Trade Receivables 230,459 174,706 33,268 22,485 Allowance for doubtful accounts (see note 8) (11,734) – (28) (11,706) Net Value 218,725 174,706 33,240 10,779 Trade Receivables 224,739 167,104 35,760 21,875 Allowance for doubtful accounts (see note 8) (10,923) – (37) (10,886) Net Value 213,816 167,104 35,723 10,989 June 30, 2010 At the date of these consolidated financial statements most credits past due 1-180 days have been collected. Receivables overdue for more than 180 days are in the process of approval for payment by the ENARGAS (Argentine Gas Regulatory Board). 78 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. d. Liquidity risk Management maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to finance normal operations and believes that TEI&C also has access to market for short-term working capital requirements. TEI&C financing strategy is to maintain adequate financial resources and access to additional liquidity. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 TEI&C has counted on cash flows from operations as well as additional bank financing to fund its transactions. TEI&C has a conservative approach to the management of its liquidity, which consists of cash and cash equivalents, comprising cash in banks, short-term money market funds and highly liquid short-term securities. TEI&C holds its cash and cash equivalents primarily in USD. Liquid financial assets as a whole are 25% of total assets at December 31, 2010 (23% at June 30, 2010). See note 14 for the maturity of borrowings and note 16 for the maturity of trade and other payables. e. Interest rate risk management The Company’s financing strategy is to manage interest expense using a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. The following table summarizes the proportions of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt as of each period/year end. 12.31.10 06.30.10 Borrowings Percentage Borrowings Percentage Fixed rate 25,573 61% 24,690 65% Variable rate 16,624 39% 13,266 35% As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent from changes in market interest rates. The Company estimated that, if interest rates would have been 100 basic points higher, with all other variables held constant, total profit for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 would have been USD 166 thousands lower (USD 132 thousands lower at June 30, 2010). f. Fair value estimation The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities with maturities of less than one year approximates to their fair value. See note 10 – “Determining fair values”. 79 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)

The item consists in the following: Land and buildings Lease rentals amounting to USD 38,381 thousand (at June 30, 2010: USD 44,946 thousand) relating to the lease of machinery, construction equipment and vehicles, are included in the income statement. 06.30.10 81 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. Technical appraisal of PP&E The technical appraisal was performed by external professionally qualified valuation specialists in relation to machinery, construction equipment and vehicles, based on periodic valuations of the assets in order not to differ materially from their fair value at the financial statements date. Management believes that the resulting value approximates fair value. As per International Accounting Standard N° 16 “Property, plant and equipment” (“IAS 16”), when an item of property and equipment is revalued, the entire class of property and equipment to which that asset belongs should be revalued. Machinery, construction equipment and vehicles corresponding to the subsidiaries that did not make the abovementioned revaluation are not significant. The “sales comparison” method was used to obtain the fair value of these assets for which there is a wide and transparent secondary market. This approach consists in obtaining information from recent sales or offers of assets bearing similar characteristics, age and condition. Correction factors that take into account the status of the market offer and demand prevailing as of the date of the appraisal, the relative age, probable residual useful life, state of conservation and asset obsolescence are applied to the sales price. The “cost less depreciation” method was used to obtain the fair value of assets with a restricted sales market. Depreciation was computed based on generally used and accepted engineering criteria which led to establishing the reasonable value of PP&E. Such criteria take into account factors such as the age of each asset, probable residual or expected life, state of conservation and degree of obsolescence. The market value was obtained by applying the depreciation ratio to the value of a new asset. These subsidiaries intend to perform this appraisal with the frequency required by IAS 16 in order to keep fair values of appraised assets updated. The net decrease in value of machinery, construction equipment and vehicles resulting from the technical appraisal performed on December 31, 2010 amounted to USD 4,819 thousand and was attributed USD 2,389 thousand to comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under “Reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus” (corresponding to decrease in previously revaluated assets) and USD 2,430 thousand to the Consolidated Income Statement as an impairment loss in “Other operating results”. The increase in value of machinery, construction equipment and vehicles resulting from the technical appraisal performed on June 30, 2010 amounted to USD 76,976 thousand and has been recorded net of tax effects USD 20,981 thousand in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of “Reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus”. The decrease in the carrying amount of asset as a result of revaluation (amounting to USD 5,701 thousand) has been recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement in “Other income and expenses, net”, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of prior revaluation increases of the same asset were charged to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under “Reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus” amounted to USD 5,808 thousand and has been recorded net of tax effects USD 841 thousand. 82 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. If machinery, equipment and vehicles had been valued at historical cost, the values would have been the following: Historical cost Accumulated depreciation Residual value The “Reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus” is reversed, net of tax effects, through (i) the retirement of the equipment appraised or (ii) depreciation charges. The difference between depreciation of appraised assets and depreciation of the historical values of such assets is charged against accumulated results. 12.31.10 06.30.10 236,371 240,858 (153,995) (156,628) 82,376 84,230 The straight-line method has been used to calculate depreciation, by applying annual ratios sufficient to terminate the value of each item as to the end of their estimated useful life. 83 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)

Works executed under a trust, construction, and leasing agreement TEARG, as a member of the JV Techint Compañía Técnica Internacional S.A.C.I. - Impregilo S.p.A. (Sucursal Argentina) - Iglys S.A., has signed a contract with the Argentine Government for the construction of a penitentiary institution, under the turnkey system, located in Ezeiza, province of Buenos Aires, payable in 60 quarterly installments as canon, nominated in USD. The JV accepted the pesification of canons at a ARS 1-USD 1 rate and the application of the Reference Stabilization Index (RSI) until the effective date of payment, according to the Agreements executed by the JV with the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, dated November 19, 2003 and September 9, 2004. The canons collected plus RSI after the Agreement dated September 9, 2004, were Nº 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22. On the other hand, before execution of such Agreement, canon N° 8 was also collected plus RSI in January 2003. That notwithstanding, the JV received from such Ministry payments for several canons not applying the RSI, which have been taken by the JV as partial payments of the total amount due and payable arising from the Agreement dated September 9, 2004. Thus, from January 2006 to the date of issue of these financial statements, the JV received as partial payment a total amount of USD 42,453(1) thousand corresponding to canons 10 to 16 and 23 to 45 at a ARS 1-USD 1 rate, not applying the RSI. Taking into account this situation, the JV Management made a new estimate of the date of probable collection of the RSI past due and to become due. The proportional participation of TEARG in the total balance receivable of the JV with the Argentine Government as of November 30, 2010 amounts to USD 54,469(1) thousand (at May 31, 2010: USD 56,630(1) thousand). The amount of such credit recorded in these consolidated financial statements, which arises from discounting the amounts mentioned above from their current value on November 30, 2010, is equal to USD 27,142(1) thousand, capital USD 9,150(1) thousand and RSI USD 17,992(1) thousand, (at May 31, 2010: USD 28,285(1) thousand, capital USD 10,087(1) thousand and RSI USD 18,198(1) thousand) of which the amount of USD 11,540(1) thousand is past due at December 31, 2010 (at June 30, 2010: USD 10,857(1) thousand). All these financial credits correspond to the canons receivable from the Argentine Government, due and to become due, which were recorded as per the Agreement executed on September 9, 2004 with the Undersecretariat of Coordination and Innovation under the National Ministry of Justice and Human Rights, in Pesos at a rate of ARS 1-USD 1 and adjusted with RSI up to December 31, 2008. As from such date, credits were no longer adjusted with RSI as a result of the filing of the Arbitration Claim before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce stated in the following paragraph. Taking into account the Ministry of Justice’s delay as to a resolution and payment of the overdue debt, Santander Río Trust S.A., in its capacity as Trustee and Grantor of the Leasing, on July 4, 2008, following the JV’s express instructions, submitted a note demanding payment of amounts due. Upon failure to answer by the Ministry of Justice, on November 28, 2008, an Arbitration Claim was filed before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose of appointing an arbitration tribunal consisting of three arbitrators and to hold the respondent, the Argentine Government, liable for payment of the amounts claimed (1) Outstanding collecting amounts are nominated in argentine peso. The figures shown in USD belong to the amounts in argentine pesos which were translated at the year end exchange rate. (December 31, 2010: USD 1 – ARS 3,976 and June 30, 2010: USD 1 – ARS 3,931) 118 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. plus any interest that may be accrued and the new terms of the debt to expire during the arbitration process. The arbitration claim was notified to the Argentine Government in May 2009, the Arbitral Tribunal was constituted and the Mission Statement was issued on December 7, 2010. In the opinion of the JV’s Management and of its legal advisors, it is estimated that, by application of the legal rules and regulations regarding pesification (application of RSI to due canons) which should be applicable to this contractual structure, the JV has a solid legal position to collect its credits within the scope of the abovementioned legal rules and regulations. In May 2009, the JV was informed of the passing of Executive Order N° 541/09, which empowers UNIREN to renegotiate the Construction, Trust and Leasing Agreement executed in 1998 in relation to Penitentiary Complex I (Ezeiza). The JV has not consented to the provisions of such executive order by virtue of the defects thereof. On June 18, 2009, a letter was submitted through Santander Río Trust S.A., in its capacity as Trustee and Grantor of the Leasing, following the JV’s express instructions, to the above-stated respect claiming the unlawful nature of such executive order. That notwithstanding, and making it clear that this entails no waiver whatsoever of its rights, including the right to enforce its rights and defenses in the ongoing arbitration proceeding, on September 8, 2010, the JV executed a Memorandum of Understanding with UNIREN since it believes that under the terms of such MOU (i) the acknowledgement made in the Agreement executed with the Ministry of Justice on September 9, 2004 is ratified, (ii) UNIREN acknowledges the debt upon failure to apply the RSI and (iii) the JV states its position that as to all the claims and its intention of suspending the arbitration upon actual payment by the State of all amounts due. As of the date of issue of these financial statements, while the arbitration proceeding continues, the claimants and respondent continue holding conversations in order to assess the possibility of an eventual solution of the conflict. c. Other Contingencies and uncertainties The Company has tax and civil lawsuits for which the legal advisors do not expect a probable unfavorable outcome and, therefore, no provision was set up. The amounts of these contingencies amount as of December 31, 2010 to USD 14,109 thousand for tax contingencies and USD 2,847 thousand for civil contingencies (At June 30, 2010: USD 9,611 thousand for tax contingencies and USD 4,198 thousand for civil contingencies).

Discontinued operations In April 2008, the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela made public its decision to nationalize SIDOR C.A., Sidernet de Venezuela C.A. (“Sidernet”) and Servicios Siderúrgicos Sersisa, S.A. (“Sersisa”)’s only client. On April 29, 2008, the National Assembly of Venezuela agreed to declare SIDOR C.A.’s shares of public use and social interest. On April 30, 2008, the President of Venezuela sent to the Supreme Court of Justice an Executive Order with the rank, value and force of an Organic Law (Ley Orgánica de Ordenación) to regulate the companies involved in iron & steel activities in the Region of Guayana, for such Court to render an opinion on the constitutional standing of the Executive Order’s organic nature. On May 9, 2008, the Supreme Court of Justice declared the constitutionality of the organic nature and ordered the transformation of SIDOR C.A, its affiliates and subsidiaries into stateowned companies, and declared the activities performed by SIDOR C.A., its affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as the works, tasks and services required to perform such activities, of public use and social interest. 120 TEI&C S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.) All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated. Based on the foregoing, on June 12, 2008, the Sidernet’s management sent a notification to SIDOR C.A.’s new board stating its intention to transfer the services rendered by the Company to SIDOR C.A. through the sale of all its pieces of equipment, fixtures and fittings and other investments made, as well as to transfer its entire and detailed payroll, except for expatriated personnel, together with the stock of spare parts, tools and consumables in the inventory, and the services paid in advance as of the date the service is transferred. On September 26, 2008, SIDOR was notified of the company’s intention to early terminate the contract, which early termination took place on April 7, 2009. On such date, SIDOR and Sidernet executed the Agreement for Early Termination of “The Contract”, Final Receipt of services and delivery of equipment and spare parts, whereby both parties stated that the business relationship existing between them by virtue of such Contract was terminated, and therefore, all the obligations to do (affirmative covenants) assumed by the companies deriving from the execution of “The Contract” became extinguished, except as otherwise provided for in such document. The acknowledgment of completion for the Contract of Heavy Cleaning and Raw Material Handling Services was executed in November 2010; therefore, the commercial relationship between Sidernet and SIDOR was terminated. This acknowledgment of completion set forth the time schedule for invoicing and collection of the debt deriving from such document. Based on the facts and circumstances described above the Company ceased consolidating Sidernet and Sersisa’s results of operations as from July 1, 2007 and classified a group of assets and liabilities as held-for-sale. The results of operations generated by Sidernet and Sersisa as held-for-sale were presented as discontinued operations in these financial statements. notes 12.31.10 06.30.10 6 months (*) 12 MONTHS (*) Analysis of the result of discontinued operations: Cost of sales 26 Gross loss General and administrative expenses 26 Other operating results 28 Operating (loss) / profit Financial results, net 27 Results before income tax Income tax Results from discontinued operations (*) See note 2.a. 29 (43) (494) (43) (494) (172) (1,173) 6 13,969 (209) 12,302 605 (2,135) 396 10,167 – (4,931) 396 5,236 121 Consolidated Financial Statements Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
