STATUTORY AUDIT COMMITTEE’S REPORT
 
 
To the Shareholders of
CENTRAL PUERTO S.A.
 
  
Introduction
  
1.           Pursuant to the regulations set forth in Subsection 5, Section 294 of the Argentine Business Entities Act No. 19950 and its amendments (the “Business Entities Act”) and the Rules set forth by the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange for the ‘Authorization, Suspension, Withdrawal and Cancelation of the listing of Securities’ (BCBA’s Listing Rules), we have examined the separate and consolidated financial statements of CENTRAL PUERTO S.A. and its subsidiaries, which are attached herein and which include: (a) the separate and consolidated statements of financial position as at June 30, 2020, (b) the separate and consolidated income and comprehensive income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, and the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the separate and consolidated statement of cash flow for the six-month period ended on that date and (c) a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In addition, we have reviewed the corresponding “Additional Information to the Notes to the Financial Statements –Section 12, Chapter III, Title IV of Regulations by the Argentine Securities Commission (N.T. 2013)", which submission is not required by the Argentine Federation of Economic Sciences Professional Councils (Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas – “FACPCE”) as professional accounting regulations and incorporated by the Argentine Securities Commission to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The above mentioned documents are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors in the execution of its exclusive duties.
 
Scope of the work
 
2.           Our work consisted of verifying that the information contained in the mentioned financial statements was consistent with the information about the Company’s decisions which were stated in the Minutes, and that those decisions complied with the law and the Bylaws, both regarding formal and documentary requirements. For the purpose of performing this task, we have considered the independent auditor’s reports by the external auditor Germán E. Cantalupi, , member of the firm Pistrelli, Henry Martin y Asociados S.R.L. Such reports, dated August 26, 2020 were issued in compliance with the International Standard on Review Engagement 2410, “Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity”, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (“IAASB”). We have not performed any management control, and therefore, we have not assessed the criteria and business decisions regarding the administration, financing, commercialization and production, since it is the Board who bears exclusive responsibility for these matters. Therefore, our responsibility is limited to state an assessment regarding those documents and it is not extended to acts, omissions or circumstances that we do not know, or that could not be inferred from the analysis of the information received by this Statutory Audit Committee during the execution of its duties. We consider that our work and the external auditor’s reports are a reasonable ground on which we can base our report.
  
Conclusion
  
3.           Based on our review and the reports dated August 26, 2020, issued by accountant Germán E. Cantalupi, as member of the firm Pistrelli, Henry Martin y Asociados S.R.L., we found no evidence to conclude that the interim financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1 were not prepared, in all their significant aspects, pursuant to the pertinent regulations established in the Argentine Business Entity Act and the Argentine Securities Commission and the IAS 34.
