NOTE 1 – COMPANY ACTIVITIES (Contd.)

 

1.1.Consideration payable to the Argentine National Government (Contd.)


The Company may settle its obligations to contribute funds to the trust through the assignment of receivables whose cause and/or title originate from the provision of aeronautical and/or airport services within the framework of the concession, subject to prior intervention by the Secretary of Transport and prior authorization from ORSNA.

 

1.2. Tariff schedule

 

The Concession Agreement establishes the maximum rates that the Company may charge to aircraft operators and passengers for aeronautical services that principally consist of passenger use fees for the use of the airports, which are charged to each passenger and vary depending on whether the passenger’s flight is an international, regional or domestic flight, and aircraft charges, which are charged for aircraft landing and aircraft parking and vary depending on whether the flight is international or domestic, among other factors.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These Separate Condensed Financial Statements of the Company are presented in millions of Argentine pesos, except for share data or when otherwise indicated. All amounts are rounded to millions of Argentine pesos unless otherwise indicated. As such, non-significant rounding differences may occur. A dash (“-”) indicates that no data was reported for a specific line item in the relevant financial year or period or when the relevant information figure, after rounding, amounts to zero. The Company’s Board of Directors approved them for issuance on March 6, 2025.

 

The NSC through article 1 of Chapter III of Title IV of the NSC Standards (N.T. 2013 and mod.), has established the application of Technical Resolution No. 26 (and its modifications) of the FACPCE, that adopt the IFRS, issued by the IASB, for entities included in the public offering regime, either for their capital or for their negotiable obligations, or that have requested authorization to be included in the aforementioned regime.

 

Application of those standards is mandatory for the Company as from the fiscal year beginning on January 1 2012. Therefore, the transition date, as established in the IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of the IFRS” was January 1, 2011.

 

The accounting standards have been applied consistently in all the years presented unless otherwise indicated.

2) Controlled Companies

 

An investor controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The subsidiaries are consolidated as from the date control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. (See Note 2).

 

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or transactions between the Company companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform to the Group’s accounting policies.

 

3) Segment Information

 

The Company is managed as a single unit, considering all airports as a whole. It does not evaluate the performance of the airports on a standalone basis. Therefore, for the purposes of segment information, there is only one business segment.

 

The Argentine National Government granted the Company the concession of the “A” Group airports of the NAS under the basis of “cross-subsidies”: i.e., the income and funds generated by some of the airports should subsidize the liabilities and investments of the remaining airports, in order for all airports to be compliant with international standards as explained below.

 

All airports must comply with measures of operative efficiency that are independent from the revenues and funds they generate. All works performed must follow international standards established by the respective agencies (IATA, OACI, etc.).

 

Revenues of the Company comprise non-aeronautical revenues and aeronautical revenues; the latter being the tariffs determined by the ORSNA and regulated on the basis of the review of the PFIE in order to verify and preserve the "equilibrium" of the variables on which it was originally based.

 

The investment decisions are assessed and made with the ORSNA based on the master plans of the airports considering the needs of each airport based on expected passenger flow and air traffic, in the framework of the standards previously mentioned.

 

4) Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at their historical cost, restated at closing currency, net of depreciations and impairment, if any. The historical cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of such assets.

 

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost is reliably measured. The carrying value of replaced parts is derecognized. All other maintenance and repair expenses are expensed when incurred. No significant components are observed within this category.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Contd.)

 

4) Property, plant and equipment (Contd.)

 

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using a straight-line method over its estimated useful life as follows:

 

Buildings: 30 years

Vehicles: 60 months

Machinery: 120 months

Installations: 60 months

Furniture and office equipment: 60 months

Data Processing: 36 months

 

The residual value of the assets and their useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each year. Changes in the criteria, if any, are recognized as a change in estimate.

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing revenues with the carrying amount and are included in Other income and expenses, net, in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

 

The carrying value of the assets is written down immediately to its recoverable value if the assets carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable value.

 

5) Intangible Assets

 

The Company has recognized an intangible asset that represents the right (license) to charge users for the service of airport concession. Such intangible asset is registered at cost restated at closing currency minus the accumulated amortization which is amortized in a straight line during the term of the concession.

 

Our Concession Agreement is accounted for in accordance with IFRS based on the principles outlined in IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements.” Under IFRIC 12, our Concession Agreement is a “build-operate- transfer” arrangement, under which we develop infrastructure to provide public services and, for a specific period, operate and maintain such infrastructure. Infrastructure is not recognized as PP&E, because we have the right to charge fees for services provided to users during the period of the Concession Agreement.

 

Acquisitions correspond, according to the terms of the Concession contract, to the improvement of existing infrastructure assets to increase their useful life or capacity, or to the construction of new infrastructure assets.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Contd.)

 

5) Intangible Assets (Contd.)

 

The assets subject to amortization are reviewed for depreciation when the events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the book value cannot be recovered. The loss for depreciation is recognized for the amount by which the accounting value of the asset exceeds its recovery value. For the purpose of depreciation testing, the assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identified cash flows.

 

6) Rights of Use

 

The Company has recognized an asset for the right of use born from the leases of offices and deposits. Said asset is recorded at the present value of the payments defined in the lease contract restated in the closing currency minus accumulated amortization (amortizes in a straight line over the lease term).

 

7) Other assets

 

Other assets are deferred charges that are valued at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation.

 

8) Investments

 

The investments consist mainly of investments in negotiable obligations and public debt instruments, with original maturity greater than three months from the date of acquisition

 

Negotiable obligations and mutual investment are valued at cost plus accrued interest.

 

All purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the settlement date, which does not differ significantly from that of contracting date on which the Company undertakes to buy or sell the investment.

 

The results from financial investments, both by quote difference and by exchange difference, are recognized in the “Financial income” in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

The fair value of listed investments is based on current offer prices. If the market for a financial investment is not active or the securities have no quotation, the Company estimates the fair value according to standard valuation techniques.

 

9) Sales receivables and other receivables

 

Trade accounts receivable and other credits are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently at their amortized cost using the effective interest method less the provision for expected losses, if applicable.

10) Cash and cash equivalents

 

In the consolidated statements of cash flows cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, time deposits in financial entities, other short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the consolidated statements of financial position, bank overdrafts, if any, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. In the case of mutual funds, they are valued at the closing price.

 

11) Capital Stock

 

Ordinary, non-endorsable shares of $ 1 par value represent the capital stock. The share premium includes the difference in the price charged over the nominal value of the shares issued by the Company. The adjustment that arises from the restatement to the closing currency is exposed as "Adjustment of capital".

 

12) Provisions and other charges

 

Provisions are recognized in the financial statements when:

 

a)The Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events,
b)It is probable that an outflow of resources is required to settle such obligation and
c)The amount can be reliably estimated

 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation considering the best available information at the time of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and are reassessed at each closing date.

 

13) Financial debt

 

Borrowings and other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of direct transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, borrowings are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified under current liabilities if payment is expected within a year.

 

In the case of debt renegotiations, if the exchange of debt instruments between the financial creditor and the Company is concluded under substantially different conditions or involves a substantial modification of the conditions, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors, the existing financial liability is derecognized as an extinguishment of the original liability and a new liability is recognized. Otherwise, the original liability should not be extinguished, but should be considered as a modification, adjusting its measurement in relation to the new terms and conditions.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Contd.)

 

14) Current and deferred income tax – Tax revaluation – Adjustment for tax inflation

 

Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred income tax and is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

 

Deferred income tax is recognized using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.

 

Deferred assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability settled, based on the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the year. Under IFRS, the deferred tax assets (liabilities) are classified as non-current assets (liabilities). Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences derived from the investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the Company controls the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxing authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset when the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

To determine the net taxable income at the end of the years ended at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the inflation adjustment determined in accordance with articles No. 95 to No. 98 of the income tax law, for $92,387 million and $201,185 million respectively was incorporated into the tax result, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The variation of the General Level Consumer Price Index (CPI) exceeded 100% in the 36-month period ending fiscal years 2024 and 2023.

 

15) Leases

 

Assets acquired through leasing are recorded as assets either under "Intangible assets" or under "right of use", depending on the nature of the leased object, and are initially valued at the present value of future minimum payments or at their fair value if It is lower, reflecting in the liability the corresponding debt with the lessor. The financial cost is accrued based on the effective rate and is included within “Financial costs”.

 

Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, which is the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Contd.)

 

15) Leases (Contd.)

 

In the case of short-term leases or low-value leases (less than twelve months), the Company has chosen not to recognize an asset, but rather recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis during the term of the lease for the fixed income part. Variable or contingent income is recognized as an expense in the period in which payment is probable, as are increases in fixed income indexed by a price index.

 

The lease liabilities maintained with financial institutions, given the nature of the creditor, are disclosed within the “Financial debt” category; instead, those contracts of leases held with creditors with a purely commercial activity are disclosed as “Lease liability”.

 

16) Accounts payable and others

 

Accounts payable and others are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classified in current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. Accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at their amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Unpaid salaries, vacations and bonuses, with their respective social security contributions, as well as severance bonuses and restructuring compensation are recognized at fair value

 

17) Distribution of dividends

 

The distribution of dividends to the Company shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the year the dividends are approved by the shareholders.

 

18) Revenues

 

Revenue is recognized when control over a good or service is transferred to the customer and, therefore, when the latter has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits of the good or service. Revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time when (or to the extent that) the Company meets its obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.

 

The Company generates revenues from the following activities:

 

a)Aeronautical services provided to users and aeronautical operators in the airports. Main aeronautical services include passenger use fees, aircraft landing fees and aircraft parking fees;

b)Non- Aeronautical revenues mainly obtained from commercial activities within the airports. Main non-aeronautical revenues include warehouse usage, use of space, car parking, etc.

 

Revenues for use of space by retail stores can be either contracted as a fixed or variable amount.

 

Revenue for contracts with clients is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the amounts receivable for the sale of services, stated net of discounts and value added taxes. The Group recognizes revenues in the period the services are rendered, when the amounts can be reliably measured, when it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when the specific criteria for each of the activities has been met, as previously mentioned.

 

The Company performs construction activities as part of the obligations derived from the investment plan established in the Concession Agreement mentioned in Note 1. In accordance with IFRIC 12 paragraph 14, the company recognizes construction revenues and costs during the construction period. Revenue from construction services equals the costs of construction or improvement plus a reasonable margin.

 

The Company recognizes contractual liabilities for consideration received in respect of future performance obligations and reports these amounts as Other liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Similarly, if the Company satisfies a performance obligation before the consideration is received, the Company recognizes a contractual asset or a receivable in its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, depending on whether more than the passage of time is required before the consideration becomes payable.

 

19) Presentation of expenses

 

The Company presents the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by classifying expenses according to their function as part of the lines “Cost of sales”, “Distribution and marketing expenses” and “Administrative expenses”. The accounts that accumulate monetary transactions that occurred throughout each fiscal year were computed at their nominal value restated in the closing currency.

 

Charges for consumption of non-monetary assets (depreciation, amortization, residual value of disposals of fixed assets and intangible assets, etc.) were determined based on the amounts of such assets, restated in accordance with the provisions of Note 3.25.

The figures included in these financial statements were measured using their functional currency, that is, the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The functional currency of the Company is the Argentine peso, which is the same as the presentation currency of the financial statements.

 

IAS 29 "Financial information in hyperinflationary economies" requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the reporting date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. For this, in general terms, inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.

 

These requirements also correspond to the comparative information of these Consolidated financial statements.

 

In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyperinflationary under the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceed 100%. Taking into account that the accumulated inflation rate of the last three years exceeds 100% and the rest of the indicators do not contradict the conclusion that Argentina should be considered as a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes, the Company Management understands that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29, as of July 1, 2018. It is for this reason that, in accordance with the NIC 29, these Individual Financial Statements are restated reflecting the effects of inflation in accordance with the provisions of the standard.

In turn, Law No. 27,468 (BO 04/12/2018) amended Article 10 of Law No. 23,928 and its amendments, establishing that the repeal of all legal norms or regulations that establish or authorize indexation by prices, monetary update, variation of costs or any other form of repowering of debts, taxes, prices or rates of goods, works or services, does not include financial statements, in respect of which the provisions of the article 62 in fine of the General Law of Companies No. 19,550 (TO 1984) and its amendments will be applied. Also, the aforementioned legal body ordered the repeal of Decree No. 1269/2002 of July 16, 2002 and its amendments and delegated to the National Executive Power (PEN), through its controlling entities, to establish the date from the which the provisions cited in relation to the financial statements presented will have effect. Therefore, through its General Resolution 777/2018 (BO 28/12/2018), the National Securities Commission (CNV) established that issuers subject to its control should apply to the annual financial statements, for interim and special periods, that close as of December 31, 2018 inclusive, the method of restating financial statements in a homogeneous currency as established by IAS 29.

 

In accordance with IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity reporting in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy must be reported in terms of the unit of measurement in effect at the date of the financial statements. All amounts in the statement of financial position that are not indicated in terms of the current unit of measurement as of the date of the financial statements should be updated by applying a general price index. All the components of the income statement should be indicated in terms of the unit of measure updated as of the date of the financial statements, applying the change in the general price index that has occurred since the date on which the income and expenses were originally recognized in the financial statements.

 

The adjustment for inflation in the initial balances was calculated considering the indexes established by the FACPCE based on the price indexes published by the INDEC. As of December 31, 2024, the price index amounted to 7,694.0075, with a year-on-year inflation of 118%.

 

Inflation adjustment

 

In an inflationary period, any entity that maintains an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities will lose purchasing power, and any entity that maintains an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets will gain purchasing power, if such items are not subject to a mechanism of adjustment.

 

Briefly, the re-expression mechanism of IAS 29 establishes that monetary assets and liabilities will not be restated since they are already expressed in the current unit of measurement at the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements will be adjusted in accordance with such agreements.

Inflation adjustment (contd.)

 

The non-monetary items measured at their current values at the end of the reporting period, such as the net realization value or others, do not need to be re-expressed. The remaining non-monetary assets and liabilities will be re-expressed by a general price index. The loss or gain on the net monetary position will be included in the net comprehensive income for the year being reported, disclosing this information in a separate item.

 

The following is a summary of the methodology used for the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements:

 

-Non-monetary assets and liabilities: non-monetary assets and liabilities (property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, rights of use, deferred profits and additional allowances) updated by the adjustment coefficients corresponding to the date of acquisition or origin of each of them, as applicable. The income tax derived has been calculated based on the restated value of these assets and liabilities;

 

-Monetary assets and liabilities, and monetary position result: monetary assets and liabilities, including balances in foreign currency, by their nature, are presented in terms of purchasing power as of December 31, 2024. The financial result generated by the net monetary position reflects the loss or gain that is obtained by maintaining an active or passive net monetary position in an inflationary period, respectively and is exposed in the line of "Result from exposure to changes in the purchasing power of the currency" (RECPAM) in the Statement of Comprehensive Income;

 

-Equity: the net equity accounts are expressed in constant currency as of December 31, 2024, applying the corresponding adjustment coefficients at their dates of contribution or origin;

 

-Results: the items of the Statements of Comprehensive Income have been restated based on the date on which they accrued or were incurred, with the exception of those associated with non-monetary items (depreciation and amortization expenses), which are presented as a function of the update of the non-monetary items to which they are associated. Expressed in constant currency as of December 31, 2024, through the application of the relevant conversion factors.

 

The comparative figures have been adjusted for inflation following the same procedure explained in the preceding points.

Inflation adjustment (contd.)

 

In the initial application of the adjustment for inflation, the equity accounts were restated as follows:

 

-The capital was restated from the date of subscription or from the date of the last adjustment for accounting inflation, whichever happened later. The resulting amount was incorporated into the "Capital adjustment" account;

 

-The other result reserves were not restated in the initial application.

 

With respect to the evolution notes of non-monetary items for the year, the balance at the beginning includes the adjustment for inflation derived from expressing the initial balance to the currency of current purchasing power.

 

Transactions and balances

 

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates (or valuation where items are re-measured).

 

Foreign exchange gains and losses and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end of the assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income

 

Foreign exchange gains and losses are shown in “Finance Income” and/or “Finance Expense” of the comprehensive statement of income, depending on whether they are generated by monetary assets or liabilities, respectively.

 

Exchange rates used are the following: buying rate for monetary assets and selling rate for monetary liabilities, applicable at year-end according to Banco Nación, and at the foreign currency exchange rate applicable at the transaction date.

 

26) New standards and amendments

 

The Company has adopted the following standards and interpretations that have become applicable for the year beginning on January 1, 2024:

Class I Negotiable Obligations Series 2020

 

On April 21, 2020, the Company announced an exchange offer and consent request to the holders of the 2027 Guaranteed NO. On May 19, 2020, the exchange offer for 86.73% of the total original principal amount ended. Consequently, on May 20, 2020, U$S306 million in new NO were issued with maturity on February 1, 2027, whose interest rate was 9.375% per year during the PIK Period, period in which the amount of interest is compounded quarterly. The capital and interest amortization installment of these NO, due on May 1, 2021, was paid in cash. Beginning May 1, 2021, the PIK Period having ended, the Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum until maturity, payable quarterly.

 

Class I Negotiable Obligations Series 2021

 

On October 27, 2021, the Company completed the exchange of the "Guaranteed Negotiable Obligations Maturing in 2027" and the "Class I Series 2020 Negotiable Obligations", for new 8.50% fixed rate NO maturing in 2031. Capital amortization was established in 20 installments payable between February 1, 2026 and August 1, 2031 on a quarterly basis, on the 1st days of February, May, August and November, with the exception of the payment dates corresponding to May 1, 2026, November 1, 2026 and August 1, 2028.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAX

 

On December 29, 2017, the National Executive Power issued and published Law No. 27,430, which introduced amendments to the Income Tax. Among the most relevant was the reduction of the tax rate for capital companies and permanent establishments to 25% and it was also provided that dividends distributed to human persons and beneficiaries abroad by the aforementioned would be taxed at a rate of 13 %. Such modifications were applicable for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, while for the years beginning on January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019, the applicable rates would be 30% for the tax and 7% for dividend distribution. On December 23, 2019, through the promulgation and publication of Law No. 27,541, it was suspended until the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2021 inclusive, the reduction of the rate to 25% and the application of the tax on dividends at 13%, providing that for the periods in which the suspension is applied the rates will be 30% and 7%, respectively.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAX (Contd.)

 

On June 16, 2021, the Argentine Government enacted an income tax reform (Law No. 27,630), which increases the corporate income tax rate for fiscal years beginning on or after June 1. January 2021. The law replaced the previous tax rate of 30% with a progressive tax scale based on accumulated net taxable income. As of December 31, 2024, the updated current rates are as follows: up to a profit of $34,703,523, the rate is 25%, up to $347,035,230 the applicable rate is 30% and more than $347,035,230 the rate is 35%

 

For fiscal years 2024 and 2023, Argentine companies are subject to the progressive tax scale, where the maximum tax rate is 35%.

 

The tax inflation adjustment provided for in Title VI of the Income Tax Law was not applicable from the enactment of Law No. 24,073 (B.O. 04/08/1992). In this regard, Article No. 39 of said regulation established that all tax updates would have the month of March 1991 as their maximum limit. However, as a result of the modifications introduced in the latest tax reform - Law No. 27,430- and, subsequently the modification established to this by Law No. 27,468, provided that said mechanism will be applicable in the fiscal year in which a variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is verified, accumulated in the 36 months prior to the closing date of the year being settled, greater than 100%. Additionally, with respect to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd fiscal year from its validity, the mechanism will be applied when the variation of the CPI from the beginning to the closing of each one of those fiscal years exceeds 55%, 30% and 15%, respectively.

 

The LSSRP maintains the application of the inflation adjustment mechanism established in Title VI of the LIG. However, the amount that corresponds to the first and second fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2019 must be allocated one sixth in that fiscal period and the remaining five sixths in equal parts in the five immediately following fiscal periods.

 

For the year 2021, it is applicable given that the requirement of inflation greater than 100% has been met considering the last 36 months, since it is the 4th year from its validity, according to the CPI index. , the adjustment resulting from this procedure must be allocated in its entirety to the fiscal year given that the current standard does not provide for a division in the recognition of the adjustment for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

 

According to article 118 of Law 27,701, National Budget Law 2023, B.O. 12/01/2022, Article 195 is incorporated into the IG Law, which establishes: "Taxpayers who by application of Title VI of this Law, by virtue of verifying the assumption provided for in the penultimate paragraph of Article 106, determine a positive inflation adjustment in the first and second fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2022 inclusive, may allocate one third (1/3) in that fiscal period and the remaining two thirds (2/3), in equal parts, in the two (2) immediately following fiscal periods.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

At December 31, 2024 presented in comparative format (Contd.)

 

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAX (Contd.)

 

The calculation of the positive inflation adjustment, in the terms provided in the previous paragraph, will only be appropriate for subjects whose investment in the purchase, construction, manufacture, processing or definitive importation of fixed assets -except automobiles-, during each of the two (2) fiscal periods immediately following that of the computation of the first third of the period in question, is greater than or equal to thirty thousand million pesos ($30,000,000,000). Failure to comply with this requirement will determine the decay of the benefit […].”

 

The Company has reached the investment levels required by law and has proceeded to allocate the positive inflation adjustment for 2022 in thirds, applicable to the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

 

The effect of the deferral of two sixths of the result for exposure to inflation as of December 31, 2019 and three sixths of the result for exposure to inflation as of December 31, 2020, has been recognized as a deferred tax liability.

 

On May 23, 2022, the Company submitted the Income Tax affidavit corresponding to the 2021 fiscal year, allocating the calculated tax losses from previous years in accordance with the update mechanism provided for in article 25 of said law. In this way, $348 million and $678 million corresponding to its updating have been calculated as consumption of nominal loss. Due to the latter, a letter has been submitted to the treasury for the application of the update of the losses.

 

Likewise, the company made a presentation before ARCA, under the protection of the tax secrecy provided in the procedural law, in order to preserve its rights in a framework of transparency in its actions.

 

The Company's Management, with the assistance of its legal and tax advisors, understands that the grounds put forward in the presentation made before ARCA are closely related to those considered by the highest court in the aforementioned cases, among others, for which reason it has solid arguments to defend the criterion applied.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the balance of historical tax loss carryforwards (without calculating the result of the current fiscal year) updated amounts to $138.781 million.

 

Deduction updates: Acquisitions or investments made in fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018, will be updated based on the percentage variations in the CPI provided by the INDEC, a situation that will increase the deductible amortization and its cost computable in case of sale.

 

The following is a reconciliation between the income tax charged to income and that, which would result from applying the tax rate in force in Argentina on income before taxes for the years ended on December 31, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 20 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.)

 

On December 10, 2023, a new government took office in Argentina, which has set among its objectives the establishment of a new economic regime in the country, for which it proposes to carry out a broad reform of laws and regulations.

 

Throughout fiscal year 2024, Argentina's economic and regulatory context was marked by strong macroeconomic adjustments, market deregulation, and changes in the foreign exchange restrictions scheme, which generated a significant impact on economic activity.

 

As part of its economic stabilization program, the government implemented a policy of sharp reduction in public spending, with the aim of achieving primary fiscal balance.

 

Subsidies to energy, gas, and public transportation rates were eliminated or reduced, which generated significant increases in the costs of these services; there was a freeze on hiring and a reduction in the structure of the State, with cuts in public agencies; the pension system was reformed, modifying the criteria for updating retirement benefits, among other measures. Although these measures contributed to the reduction of the deficit, they had a contractive impact on economic activity, affecting consumption and investment in different sectors.

 

Regarding the foreign exchange restrictions, during 2024 the BCRA made progress in the progressive liberalization of access to the MULC, with the aim of facilitating foreign trade operations and normalizing the flow of foreign currency: the obligation to have the approval of the BCRA to access the MULC in certain commercial operations was eliminated; new financing schemes were established for the import of essential goods; and access to dollars for the payment of pre-existing commercial debts was made more flexible.

 

Despite these advances, certain restrictions persist in strategic sectors, and access to the MULC remains subject to regulations in certain operations.

 

Argentina experienced a notable reduction in its country risk, driven mainly by the implementation of fiscal austerity policies, structural reforms that generated investor confidence, debt renegotiation and agreements with the IMF, thus leading to stability in financial markets, with an appreciation of sovereign bonds and greater exchange rate stability reinforcing market confidence. Based on this, the country risk, which at the beginning of 2024 was around 1,900 basis points, showed a significant downward trend, reaching 746 basis points in November and closing the year at 635 basis points.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

At December 31, 2024 presented in comparative format (Contd.)

 

NOTE 20 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.)

 

This notable reduction in country risk not only reflects an improvement in the international perception of Argentina's solvency and economic stability, but also has significant practical implications. A lower country risk facilitates access to external financing at lower rates, benefiting both the State and the private sector in their investment and growth strategies.

 

The stabilization context continues at the date of issue of these financial statements. It is not possible to predict at this time its evolution or new measures that could be announced. The Company's Management permanently monitors the evolution of the variables that affect its business, to define its course of action and identify the potential impacts on its assets and financial situation.

 

The Company's financial statements must be read in light of these circumstances.

 

Risk of exchange rate

 

A substantial portion of the revenues of the Company are in American dollars or are related to billing in American dollars, such being the case of the fees collected to the non-aeronautical concessionaries (these being calculated on the billing percentage of the respective concessionaries in this currency) and a lower percentage in pesos.

 

Our operational incomes are affected by the fluctuation of the exchange rate of the Argentine peso and the other currencies. A key factor in the determination of our financial and net holding incomes is the registry of the incomes for exchange differences on the assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and the registry of the current value of the long-term liabilities.

 

Our debt for borrowings in foreign currency at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was an equivalent of $643,760 million and $1,165 billion. The Company does not use derived financial instruments to cover such exposures, as an important percentage of our revenues is in American dollars or related to the American dollar as previously mentioned.

 

Based on the composition of our situational balance at December 31, 2024 and 2023 a variation in the exchange rate of $100 against the American dollar would translate in an increase/decrease of $22 billion and $41 billion in the assets and $68 billion and $151 billion in the respective liabilities.

 

Price risk

 

As set forth in the Agreement, the ORSNA should annually revise the financial projections of the Company (PFIE) for the term of the concession agreement, in relationship with, among other items, aeronautical and commercial revenues, costs of operation and investment obligations and could conduct adjustments to the specific allocation of revenues and/or aeronautical service rates and/or investment obligations of the Company to preserve the Economic. Financial balance of the Concession Agreement, as established per Attachment V of the Agreement and parameters established by the ORSNA for the Procedure of Revision of the PFIE. See Note 1.2 of the present financial statements.

NOTE 20 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Contd.)

 

Credit Risk

 

The commercial credits of the Company originate mainly from aeronautical revenues pending to be collected with airlines and the fee to be charged to concessionaries. The Company has a strong dependence on two of its airports (Ezeiza and Aeroparque) and could be affected by any condition that affects the airports. Furthermore, the Company three main clients generate 26% of income.

 

The ORSNA resolved to conduct discounts on the international aeronautical rates, so the tariff is equivalent to those obtained if a 30% discount is applied on the amounts established in the Attachment II of the Agreement for those airlines that have a regular payment condition. Since this norm is in force, most of the airlines are complying regularly with their payments.

 

For trade receivables, the Company applied the simplified approach to estimate the expected credit losses in accordance with the provisions of the standard, which requires the use of the criterion for the provision of loss throughout the life of the loans. The determination of the expected loss to be recognized is calculated based on a percentage of bad debts determined according to the maturity ranges of each credit, as well as the result of the analysis of specific cases that require specific treatment.

 

In order to measure the expected credit loss, the trade receivables have been grouped according to their characteristics in terms of shared credit risk and the time that has elapsed as past-due loans. Expected loss rates are based on sales payment profiles over a period of 36 months before December 31, 2024, and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. Historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and prospective information on macroeconomic factors that affect the ability of customers to settle accounts receivable.

 

On this basis, the provision for losses on trade receivables as of December 31, 2024 was calculated by applying the following expected loss ratios: 0.55% on non-expired loans, 1.45% on loans due between 1 and 30 days, 7.67% for the expired range between 31 and 60 days; 17,02% for the range of overdue loans between 61 and 90 days, 39.19% for overdue loans between 91 and 180 days and 52.18% over those overdue for more than 181 days.

 

On this basis, the provision for losses on trade receivables as of December 31, 2023 was calculated by applying the following expected loss ratios: 0.66% on non-expired loans, 1.64% on loans due between 1 and 30 days, 7.83% for the expired range between 31 and 60 days; 13.69% for the range of overdue loans between 61 and 90 days, 28.68% for overdue loans between 91 and 180 days and 40.53% over those overdue for more than 181 days.

 

The financial instruments that could be subject to credit risk concentration consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short term investments.

 

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, investments and other financial instruments in several first rate credit entities, reducing in this way the credit exposure to only one entity. The Company has not had significate losses in such accounts.

Credit risk (contd.)

 

Liquidity risk

 

The financial condition, the liquidity of the Company and the need for cash are influenced by different factors, included; its capacity to generate cash flow of its operations; the level of indebtedness, the interests and amortizations on capital stock, that have impact on its net financial expenses, the interest rates in force in the local and international markets and its investments commitments in the framework of the investments plan, the master plans, the additional investments in capital goods and the needs of working capital.

 

The following table shows an analysis of the non derived financial liabilities of the Company settled by a net amount, grouped, according to their due dates considering the remaining period in the balance sheet date up to its contractual due date, the contractual flows are not shown discounted.

(*) Includes Fees payable to the Argentine National Government, Accounts Payable, Negotiable obligations (Capital and Interests) and local financial debts.

 

Risk of interest rate

 

The interest rate risk of the Company arises from its financial debt. The new borrowings taken at variable rate expose the Company to the increase of interest expenses in the case of increase of interest rates in the market, while the borrowings taken at a fixed rate expose the Company to a change in its fair value. The Company analyzes the exposure to the interest rates in a dynamic way, being the general policy of the Company to maintain most of its financing at a fixed rate.

 

The total debt of the Company at a variable rate at December 31, 2024 and 2023 is of $10,563 million and $18,007 million, respectively (1.64% and 2.80% of total financial debts, respectively).

 

Capital Management

 

The objectives of the Company for capital management are to safeguard its capacity to continue doing business and be able to provide yield to owners as well as benefits to holders of instruments of shareholder’s equity and maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce capital cost.

Capital Management (contd.)

 

The negotiable obligations issued by the Company establish various commitments for the Company. As of the date of these Financial Statements, the Company has complied with all of its obligations.

 

Aligned with the sector, the Company makes a follow up of the capital based on the indebtedness index. This index is calculated as the net debt divided among the total capital. The net debt is calculated as the total borrowings (including “current and non-current borrowings” as shown in the financial statements) less the cash and cash equivalents. The total capital is calculated as the “shareholder’s equity” of the financial statements plus the net debt.

·Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 2: data other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

 

·Level 3: data on assets or liabilities that are not based on observable data in the market (i.e., unobservable information).

NOTE 21 – ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the corresponding actual results. The estimates and judgments that have a significant risk to causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Company is subject to income tax. A high level of judgment is required to determine the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. When the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the current and deferred income tax in the year in which such determination is made.

 

Application of IFRIC 12:

 

The Company has carried out an integral implementation of the standards applicable to the accounting treatment of its concession and has determined that, among others, IFRIC 12 is applicable to the Company. It deals with its investments related to improvements and updates that will be made in relation to the obligation of the concession contract under the intangible assets model established by IFRIC 12. Consequently, all the amounts invested under the concession agreement have a direct correlation with the amount of the rates that the Company may charge each passenger or cargo service provider, and therefore, a direct correlation with the amount of income that the Company may generate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

At December 31, 2024 presented in comparative format (Contd.)

 

NOTE 21 – ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (contd.)

 

As a result, the Company defines all the disbursements associated with the investments required under the concession contract as income generating activities since they ultimately provide future benefits, so that improvements and subsequent updates made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets with based on the principles of IFRIC 12. In addition, compliance with the investments committed by the Master Plans of Work are mandatory, as well as compliance with the maximum rate and, therefore, in case of breach of any of these obligations, the Company could be subject to sanctions and the concession could be revoked.

 

NOTE 22 – CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

Outlook for 2025

 

In 2024, the international segment consolidated its growth, with an increase of 11.8% compared to 2023, highlighting a sustained improvement in the last part of the year. In contrast, domestic traffic closed 9.6% below the previous year, affected both by the macroeconomic context and by the high comparison base with 2023, when the PreViaje program significantly boosted domestic travel. Despite this, domestic passenger traffic showed a recovery in the second half of the year, intensifying in the last months of 2024. In December, traffic registered a slight year-on-year growth of 2%.

 

In addition, December marked a milestone in the company's history by registering the highest number of passengers in a single month in 26 years of management. With 3.9 million passengers, the previous record from July 2019 was surpassed.

 

Looking ahead to 2025, we expect moderate growth in the international segment, with traffic levels slightly higher than in 2019. For the domestic segment, we expect a gradual recovery, following the evolution of the economic context.

 

As we had anticipated, in 2024 commercial revenues were affected by the evolution of macroeconomic variables, with a negative impact mainly in the Duty Free segment. However, this effect was partially offset by a solid performance in the parking sector, driven by a higher level of occupancy and greater availability of parking spaces. In addition, improvements were recorded in revenues from gastronomy and advertising. Looking ahead to 2025, we project growth in commercial revenues, with improvements in the performance of retail stores, Duty Free and advertising.

 

On the other hand, the Company's operating costs reflected the impact of the macroeconomic context in the first part of the year, mainly affecting the cost structure in local currency. In response, we implemented control actions and continue to monitor these costs with the aim of optimizing operational efficiency.

 

Beyond the current conditions, we have made strong progress with the execution of the Capex commitment established in our contractual framework. In the second quarter of the year, we reached the milestone of completing the entire Phase I and, in November, we finalized the amount planned for 2024. Once this threshold was exceeded, we continued with the implementation of Phase II, corresponding to the amount assigned for 2025. The works in progress cover airports both in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires and in various provinces, consolidating a program of modernization and improvement of airport infrastructure with a federal focus.

Key audit matters

 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

 

Key audit matter   How our audit addressed the key audit matter
     
Revenue Recognition – Accuracy of certain in Revenue Recognition non-aeronautical    
     

As described in note 3.18. and note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company receives revenue from the following activities: a) aeronautical services provided to users and air operators of the airports subject to the concession and b) non-aeronautical revenue, which is obtained mainly through the commercial activities carried out within the concessioned airports. Among the main non-aeronautical services are: revenue from permits to use commercial spaces at airports, for which the Company receives fixed and/or variable revenue from permit holders, and revenue from the exploitation of tax warehouses, among others.

 

In line with IFRS 15, the Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations are met and control of the services is transferred, as well as when the amounts can be reliably measured.

 

To calculate the value of the aforementioned revenue, numerous sources of information are involved that are maintained in different computer environments and automated processes that are susceptible to failures or errors in the operation of each of the systems and/or in the exchange of information between them. as well as manual intervention of some processes and controls. The effectiveness of the general internal control framework at a reasonable level of security related to the systems mentioned above and the process of recognizing revenue from use permits and revenue from the exploitation of tax warehouses are essential to ensure accuracy. of transactions.

 

This issue is key due to the significant effort it represents throughout the audit considering the scope of our audit tests, the time involved in them and the level of experience of the team members.

Other information

 

The other information comprises the Annual report and Informative summary. The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information.

 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

 

Responsibilities of Board of Directors and the Audit Committee for the consolidated financial statements

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

·Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s Group’s internal control.

 

·Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

 

·Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

·Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

·Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company [Group] as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performance for purposes of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

 

We also provide to the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

SURVEILLANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

 

To the shareholders of

AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 S.A.

 

In accordance with the requirements of the article 294 subsection 5º of Law No. 19,550 and the article 62 subsection c) of the BYMA (Argentine Stock Market) Regulations, we have conducted the review described in the third paragraph regarding the consolidated financial statements of Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 S.A. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, including the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the period previously referred, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, comprising a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and issuance of said financial statements, in exercise of its specific functions.

 

Our review was conducted in accordance with the supervisory existing standards. These standards require the verification of the consistency of the revised documents with the information on the corporate decisions established in the minutes and the adequacy of those decisions to the law and the by-laws regarding its formal and documentary aspects. In order to carry out our professional work, we have considered the report of the external auditor, Juan Manuel Gallego Tinto (partner of Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L.), dated March 6, 2025, who states that it has been issued in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), which were adopted as review standards in Argentina by Technical Resolution No. 32 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), as approved by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).

 

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the reasonable preparation and presentation of the abovementioned financial statements, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) -adopted as Argentine professional accounting standards by the FACPCE and incorporated into the regulations of the National Securities Commission (“CNV”), as approved by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).

 

We have not carried out any management control and, therefore, we have not evaluated the criteria and business decisions of administration, financing, marketing, or production, since these issues are the sole responsibility of the Board of Directors.

 

The company has prepared its consolidated financial statements using IFRS, under the premise that the entity has the capacity to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

In accordance with the provisions set forth in the article 4º, section III, chapter I, title XII of CNV Regulations, we consider appropriate the quality of the accounting and auditing policies of the issuer and the degree of objectivity and independence of the external auditor in exercise of his functions, based on the items listed hereunder:

 

(i) the consolidated financial statements of the Company were issued in accordance with the IFRS, adopted by the FACPCE and the CNV. Consequently, the quality of the accounting and auditing policies is satisfactory insofar as it conforms to those principles; and

 

(ii) Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L. is an international and locally recognized firm which provides auditing services to numerous companies, including those that carry out activities for which their auditors must have been previously approved by regulatory agencies, such as the CNV. Taking into consideration such circumstances, we consider that the firm of auditors has the degree of objectivity and independence required for the exercise of its work.

 

Based on our review, with the scope described above, we hereby inform that the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2024, consider all significant events and circumstances that are known to us, and regarding said documents we have no observations to make.

 

Additionally, in accordance with existing legal provisions we inform that:

 

a) the consolidated financial statements of the Company arise from accounting records kept in their formal aspects in accordance with legal regulations, which maintain the conditions of security and integrity on the basis of which they were authorized by the CNV; except for the fact that they are pending to be recorded in the book "Inventories and Balance Sheets"; and

 

b) in exercise of the control of legality that corresponds to us, we have applied during the year the remaining procedures described in article 294 of Law No. 19,550, which we consider necessary according to the circumstances, having no observations to make in this regard.
