Throughout this fiscal year, the Mexican subsidiary Techint S.A. de C.V. (TEMEX) continued with transactions aimed at reorganizing its business areas. In August 2009, it transferred together with Constructora Mexicana Electromecnica y de Instrumentacin, S.A. de C.V. (COMEI) 60% of the shareholding in Norpower, S.A. de C.V., and 100% of the shares of TGT de Mxico, S.A. de C.V. to companies of the energy sector of the Techint Group. After the recomposition of capital of Terminal Portuarias del Pacfico S.A.P de C.V. .I. (TPP), subsidiary of TEMEX Carbonser S.A. de C.V., TEMEX sold its whole participating interest. Finally, in June 2010, TEMEX acquired 25% of the shares of Sociedad Mexcarbn S.A. de C.V. and of Sociedad Carbonser, S.A. de C.V., since the relevant contract undertaking such purchase had been executed in November 2008.

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)


Techint has developed a preventive vision focused on a commitment to safety, occupational health, environmental protection and the welfare of communities. In this respect, the Integrated Management System (IMS) has proved to be suitable for a corporate management focused on prevention as to industrial safety, health and environmental protection. The system is focused on the identification of risks associated to the work developed by the Company, compliance with local laws, application of coherent preventive procedures for all the Companys units together with an ongoing and widespread training, and by innovating in methods such as behaviorbased safety and preventive safety observation at work (OST), the goals of which are focused on reducing sub-standard actions and conditions to prevent accidents.

The IMS is audited by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and certified under international standards (ISO 14.001:2004 and OHSAS 18.001:2007). Regarding the latter, 21 million hours were devoted to pipeline works, 10 million hours to oil & gas services, 7 million hours to refineries and 5 million hours to industrial works without disabling accidents, in addition to the recognition for good performance in prevention by our leading clients, such as Barrick, Petrobras and Hunt Oil, and partners such as Fluor Daniel.

Human resources
Human resources management is based on the use of several tools enabling to draft, implement and follow up plans for personnel development and training. The long training cycles in this industry demand a strict planning in order to anticipate the skills that will be required to face business challenges. This planning is translated into recruitment, training and development plans involving all the Companys personnel. Thus, Techint seeks to have within the Company the talent required to take part in the projects submitted by our clients.

The Company subsidiaries strategy is to focus on keeping an active presence in the market of large infrastructure, industrial and energy works, especially where this presence makes the difference due to our knowledge, expertise or track record.

Prospects for fiscal year 2010-2011


Although last years international crisis has not yet concluded and still affects the activity of the markets where the Company operates, we anticipate reasonable general perspectives since clients seem to have decided to continue with various investment projects. Against this backdrop, the Company subsidiaries strategy is to focus on keeping an active presence in the market of large infrastructure, industrial and energy works, especially where this presence makes the difference due to our knowledge, expertise or track record. Thus, we continue working to accompany our clients under the new market conditions, in order to offer creative alternatives that facilitate investment decision-making. These alternatives include the search for technical and financing strategies that may involve the multilateral lending agencies and export-promotion agencies of other countries, so as to work hand in hand with our clients from the initial stages of study of their investment projects. In the Oil & Gas sector, the Company is closely following the development of projects in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Trinidad & Tobago. We foresee important opportunities for the execution of engineering and construction works in Oil and Gas Transportation Projects in Peru, Bolivia and Colombia (where we were recently awarded the engineering contract of OCENSAs pumping stations, the first one since the reopening of Bogotas business office), as well as in processing facilities such as petrochemical plants and refining in Brazil (Premium I and Premium II), Colombia, Peru and Trinidad & Tobago where we are planning to participate in the corresponding bidding processes. In Argentina a contract was signed after the end of the fiscal year for the construction of a new gas oil hydrotreatment (HTG) plant of La Plata refinery for YPF and the Company keeps ,

its business activities for future undertakings. In Bolivia, the Company expects to quote several works for gas separation plants. Meanwhile, in Canada, it is majorly pursuing opportunities in two fields Pipelines (with projects out for bid from major clients such as Transcanada and Enbridge) where Techint will participate in the bidding process for the Canadian portion of Keystone, a liquids pipeline for Transcanada that runs from Hardisty in Alberta to facilities in Houston, TX. And Oil Sands where Techint has participated in bid processes for EPC thermal (in-situ) projects for Husky Energy; next year it is expected to participate in similar or minetype projects in the oil sands for Total, Statoil, CNRL among others. Regarding the Mining area, as the sector becomes stable and the prices of the main minerals recover and/or improve, we expect that the activities in several projects suspended because of the crisis will be resumed. In this case, we foresee important opportunities in copper and other mineral developments in Peru and Chile; carbon developments in Colombia; and in Brazil, Vale has strong expansion programs where we plan to bid. In Argentina, the Companys presence will be reinforced with the beginning of Stage III of the Argentine-Chilean bi-national project of Pascua Lama and the participation in the EPC activities at Ro Colorado Potassium Mine, a project in which the Company is working at an early stage. In the Infrastructure sector, the Company will continue analyzing several opportunities regarding energy projects and civil infrastructure. Such projects include San Carlos / Melo / Frontera High Voltage Line in Uruguay, as well as the water and sewage of Ciudad de la Costa in Canelones, recently awarded to our subsidiary by Intendencia Municipal de Canelones. In Brazil, we foresee high activity in this area, mainly in sanitation, urban transport system, railways, and ports; besides the urban infrastructure for sporting events taking place in 2014 and 2016.

In the Energy area, in Argentina, works will continue at the Punta Negra hydroelectric station and other products are being analyzed. After the end of this fiscal year, a contract was executed for a new stage in the Atucha II project, thus proving the Companys active involvement in the Argentine nuclear plan. In Mexico, the Company seeks to keep its current share in the Power Transmission and Distribution system of the Mexican market, with an active participation in this sector. At the beginning of the new fiscal year, the proposal of the KepcoSamsung-Techint consortium was signed with Comisin Federal de Electricidad for the Combined Cycle Power Plant North II project. The Company has also focused on the segment of engineering services which seems to be an interesting niche for development in the Mexican market, and has participated in bids submitted to private clients. The brief description above shows the Companys willingness and efforts to maintain its presence and leadership in the Latin American engineering and construction market, showing its skills in the completion of important projects of a multidisciplinary nature and its high compliance rate. This Board wishes to express its gratitude to all employees of TEI&C and its subsidiaries for the cooperation and effort shown in the project carried out during the fiscal year. We would also like to acknowledge financial institutions, suppliers, customers and sub-contractors for their trust, assistance and cooperation. The Board of Directors

1. General Information TEI&C S.A. (TEI&C), a company controlled by Techint Limited, was registered in Uruguay in February 2005 and is a part of the Techint Group (TG). TEI&Cs purpose is to engage in investments by holding equity interests in companies or organizations whose corporate purpose includes engineering, construction and services. References in these consolidated financial statements to TEI&C or Company refer to TEI&C S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Throughout this fiscal year, the Mexican subsidiary Techint S.A. de C.V. (TEMEX) continues with transactions aimed at reorganizing its business areas. In August 2009, it transferred together with Constructora Mexicana Electromecnica y de Instrumentacin, S.A. de C.V. (COMEI) 60% of the shareholding in Norpower, S.A. de C.V., and 100% of the shares of TGT de Mxico, S.A. de C.V. to companies of the energy sector of the Techint Group. After the recomposition of capital of Terminales

During the current fiscal year, 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: In September 2009, the Company contributed to Techint Ingeniera 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 Techint Compaa Tcnica Internacional S.A.C.I. (TEARG), representing 38.94340% of the capital stock and voting rights. Upon this transaction, TIC increased its capital stock, and therefore, the new Companys participating interest is 5,000,002 shares plus an issue premium for EUR 81,699,999.99, thus becoming also the European holding of this business by concentrating the operations in Argentina, Canada, Central America and Mexico.

Portuarias del Pacfico S.A.P de C.V. (TPP), .I. 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 Mexcarbn 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., and after the end of the fiscal year, in September 2010, the company Elina Sureste S.A. de C.V. was also wound up.

its capital stock, and therefore, the new Companys participating interest is 6,500,001 shares plus an issue premium for the sum of EUR 1,636,499.99, thus consolidating in its shareholders equity the transactions for the supply of steel and iron services recorded in Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela. In June 2010, the shareholders of the Argentine companies Tecnomatter Instalaciones y Construcciones S.A. (TMR) and Sidernet S.A. resolved a corporate reorganization, consisting in the capitalization of both companies, the spin off of Tecnomatter and the subsequent merger of the spin off with Sidernet, the latter becoming the successor for the supply of steel and iron services. On July 21, 2009 TEARG founded Techint Ingeniera y Construccin Bolivia S.A. to take part in construction projects for buildings, roads, dams, dwelling houses and transformation industrial plants for any kind of industries and activities. 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. Therefore, the Board of Directors Meeting of TEI&C held on December 2, 2009, resolved that next December 31, 2010 will be the enforcement date. During the previous fiscal year, TEI&C experienced some changes in its investment portfolio, which are detailed as follows: In July 2008, the Company acquired the control over the Mexican company TEMEX through the purchase of 51,032 common shares, equal to 100% of the outstanding shares, from its parent company B.V. de Nieuwe Weg, a company organized pursuant to the laws of The Netherlands. The difference between the price paid and the book value was charged to equity as capital surplus (USD 9.0 million). This expansion in the business geographical area in

Mexico and Canada required TEI&C to make capital contributions in the Dutch company for the sum of USD 34.8 million. Consequently, during the fiscal year, TEMEX received capital contributions for USD 38.4 million whereas Techint E&C Inc. (TECAN) (a Canadian company) increased its capital stock in CAD 0.5 million (USD 0.4 million). Throughout the previous fiscal year, several transactions were concluded in TEMEX in order to reorganize its business areas. In September 2008, TEMEX transferred 10% of its shareholding in Servicios Mltiples de Burgos, S.A. de C.V. The profit generated by this transaction (USD 11.9 million) is being disclosed in the Consolidated Income Statement under Gain from the purchase and sale of share and investments In November 2008, TEMEX . sold 40% of the shares in Techint S.A. (a Spanish company), and executed a contract undertaking to purchase 25% of the shares of Mexcarbn S.A. de C.V. and of Carbonser, S.A. de C.V.

In June 2009, the Company increased its direct participating interest in Techint Engenharia e Construo S.A., through the purchase of 18.25% and 15% of the shares from TENCO and TEARG, respectively. These consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Companys Board of Directors on October 29, 2010. 2.

use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its best judgment in the process of applying the Companys 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 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 Bolivar fuerte. As a result, in accordance with IFRS, Venezuela

a. Basis of preparation 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), available-for-sale assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, and translation of subsidiaries whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars (USD), which is the functional currency of TEI&C. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current year. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the

must be considered a hyperinflationary economy. The main implications of this circumstance are as follows: At June 30, 2009 the figures were not restated. Adjustment of the income statement to reflect the financial loss caused by the impact of inflation in the year on net monetary assets (loss of purchasing power). All components of the financial statements of the Venezuelan companies have been translated at the closing exchange rate, which at June 30, 2010 was 4.3 Bolivares fuertes per USD Standards and amendments effective in the year ended June 30, 2010 and adopted by the Company The following standards and amendments have been published and were mandatory for the Company in the year ended June 30, 2010:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated

IAS 1 (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements was issued in September 2007 and was effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The revised standard introduces the concept of a statement of comprehensive income, which enables users of the financial statements to analyze changes in a companys equity resulting from transactions with owners separately from nonowner changes. The revised standard provides the option of presenting items of income and expense and components of other comprehensive income either as a single statement of comprehensive income or in two separate statements. The Company has elected to present two statements: an income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the revised disclosure requirements. IAS 27 (Revised), Consolidated and separate financial statements (effective July 1, 2009). The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

IFRS 7 (Amendment) Financial instruments: Disclosures was issued in March 2009 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of a fair value measurement hierarchy. As the change in accounting policy only results in additional disclosures, there is no impact on the presentation of the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows. 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 year ended June 30, 2010: IFRS 9 Financial Instruments issued in November , 2009. This standard addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and is likely to affect the Companys accounting for its financial assets. The standard is not applicable until January 1, 2013 but is available for early adoption. The Companys management has not yet assessed the potential impact that the application of IFRS 9 will have on the Companys financial statements. IAS 24 (Revised), Related party disclosures issued ,

IFRS 3 (Revised) Business Combinations was issued in January 2008 and will apply to business combinations occurring on or after July 1, 2009. The revised standard introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that a business acquisition occurs and future reported results. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the presentation of the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

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 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 government-related entities.

The application of this revised standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the presentation of the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows. IAS 32 (Amendment), Financial instruments: Presentation on classification of rights issues issued in October 2009. The amendment addresses the accounting for rights issues (rights, options or warrants) that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. Prior to the amendment, such rights issues were accounted for as derivative liabilities. The amendment states that, if such rights are issued pro rata to an entity's existing shareholders for a fixed amount of any currency, they should be classified as equity, regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after February 1, 2010. The Company is assessing the impact in the 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 Companys 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 . 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 Companys management estimates that the application of these amendments will not have a material effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations. b. Consolidation Subsidiary companies Subsidiaries are entities which are controlled by TEI&C as a result of its ability to govern an entitys 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. This cost includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. 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. 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 predecessors 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 inter-company 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 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 26 to the consolidated financial statements for the list of consolidated subsidiaries. Transactions and non-controlling interests The Company treats transactions with noncontrolling interests as transactions with equity owners of TEI&C. For purchases from noncontrolling 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 associates are accounted for by the equity methods of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The Companys investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss. The Companys share of its associates 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 post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Companys share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between TEI&C and its associated companies are eliminated to the extent of TEI&Cs 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. Joint Ventures Joint Ventures (J.V. ) are jointly controlled entities, which involve the establishment of a corporation, partnership or other entity in which each venturer has an interest. TEI&Cs 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 line-by-line basis with similar items in TEI&Cs financial statements. See note 21 to the consolidated financial statements.

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 joint ventures that result from the Companys 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 Items included in the 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. ii Balances and transactions in currencies other than the functional currency 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.

currency different from the Companys presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: 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,

Monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the year-end exchange rate. iii Translation of balances and results of consolidated companies The results and financial position of all the consolidated companies that have a functional

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

All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated

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. 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. Other estimations In addition, the Companys Management makes estimations to calculate, at certain moment the recoverable amounts of assets, the depreciation and amortization and the provision for cost and contingencies. e. Property, plant and equipment 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

in the reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus are transferred to retained earnings. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged

Fixed assets of Ferroexpreso Pampeano S.A.C. (FEPSA) 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 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 are as follows:

to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. 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.

Buildings and improvements Production equipment Vehicles, furniture and fixtures, and other equipment Land

20-50 years 10-20 years 4-10 years Not depreciated Goodwill TENCO and subsidiaries Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives (not exceeding five years).

The residual values and useful lives of significant machinery, construction equipment and vehicles are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each yearend date. Where the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Companys share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets and it is tested for impairment annually as part of the overall balances (see note 5). Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Compaa Inversora Ferroviaria S.A.I.F. (COINFER) 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. 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. 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. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. 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. 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. Available-for-sale financial asset 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 non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Recognition and measurement 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 statement of income. 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. Available-for-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. i. Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial

All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated

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. j. Derivative financial instruments 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. The Company designates certain derivatives as hedges of a particular risk associated with a highly probable forecast transaction as cash flow hedge. 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. The fair values of various derivative instruments are disclosed in note 12. 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 Managements analysis of aging. 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. TEI&C shows as an asset (within Construction contracts work in progress) the gross amount due from clients for construction contracts for all contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognized losses) exceed progress billings.

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 Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course 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

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 measured reliably. 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.

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 June 30, 2010 and 2009 include: The value of share capital, irrevocable contributions, capital surplus, reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus, legal reserve, other reserve, and retained earnings in accordance with IFRS.

The currency translation differences of TEI&Cs subsidiaries. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Dividends distributions are recorded in the Companys financial statements when Companys 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 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, associates 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&Cs subsidiaries have in force benefit plans under the modality of non-funded defined benefits 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. 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. Other subsidiaries have implemented a supplementary pension benefit plan with two programs: PGBL - Plano Gerador de Benefcio Livre and VGBL - Programa de Seguro de Vida com Cobertura por SobrevivnciaThese 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&Cs subsidiaries officers are covered by a specific employee retirement plan designed to provide retirement, termination and other benefits to those officers.

TEI&Cs 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&Cs 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 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. Benefits provided by the plan are calculated on a seven-year salary average. The laws in the different countries in which TEI&Cs 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 employees employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.

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 profit-sharing 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: there is a formal plan and the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of issuing the financial statements; or past practice has created a valid expectation in employees that they will receive a bonus/profitsharing 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 A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the companies pay fixed contributions to a separate entity. Companies have no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Contributions by the companies include: (a)

TEI&Cs subsidiaries recognize termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminatimg 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

Basic contribution Companies are committed to contribute amounts equal to the amounts contributed by the employees up to certain limits, (b) Extraordinary contributions- Are non-mandatory contributions that can be made on a voluntary basis either by the companies or the employees.

u. Provisions Provisions are recognized when TEI&C has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. When TEI&C expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. v. Revenue recognition Revenues and cost recognition for long-term construction contracts See note 2.l.

At the commencement of the lease term, TEI&C recognizes finance leases as assets and liabilities in the statement financial position at amounts equal to the value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The discount rate used in calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments is the interest rate implicit

Thus, the carrying amount of this held-for-sale assets and liabilities does not represent their fair value at the moment of the measurement. 3. Financial risk management The nature of TEI&Cs 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 Companys financial performance. a) Capital Risk 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 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 June 30, 2010, in comparison with 0.18 as of June 30, 2009. The Company

does not have to comply with regulatory capital adequacy requirements. b) Foreign exchange risk TEI&Cs 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 year-end that are denominated in US dollars (non-functional currency). The following tables show a breakdown of the TEI&Cs net monetary position in various currencies for the main functional currency in which the Company operates:

The Company estimates that the impact under IFRS on the net exposure at June 30, 2010 of a simultaneous 1% favorable or unfavorable movement in the main exchange rates would result in a maximum pre-tax gain or loss of approximately USD 1,494 thousands as compared with a maximum pre-tax gain or loss of approximately USD 659 thousands at June 30, 2009. The Companys net exposure to the currency other than the functional currency is managed on a case-bycase basis, partly by hedging certain expected cash flows with foreign exchange derivative contracts. 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 Companys 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 Companys control. The following table sets forth details of the age of trade receivables:

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 24% of total assets at June 30, 2010 (19% at June 30, 2009). See note 15 for the maturity of borrowings and note 17 for the maturity of trade and other payables. e) Interest rate risk management

TEI&C financing strategy is to maintain adequate financial resources and access to additional liquidity. During the year ended June 30, 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

The Companys 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 year end.

As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Companys 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 year ended June 30, 2010 would have been USD 132 thousands lower (USD 359 thousands lower at June 20, 2009).

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 .

Technical appraisal of PP&E On June 30, 2010, a 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 No. 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.

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. If machinery, equipment and vehicles had been valued at historical cost, the values would have been the following: June 30, 2010 June 30, 2009 168,218 (132,696) 35,522

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 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 (2009: USD 9,506 thousand) and has been recorded net of tax effects USD 20,981 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. 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.

b. Works executed under a trust, construction, and leasing agreement TEARG, as a member of the J.V. Techint Compaa Tcnica 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 J.V. 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 J.V. 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 Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22. On the other hand, before execution of such Agreement, canon No. 8 was also collected plus RSI in January 2003. That notwithstanding, the J.V. received from such Ministry payments for several canons not applying the RSI, which have been taken by the J.V. 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 J.V. received as partial payment a total amount of USD 40,0771 thousand corresponding to canons 10 to 16 and 23 to 43 at a ARS 1-USD 1 rate, not applying the RSI. Taking into account this situation, in the past fiscal

year the J.V. 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 J.V. with the Argentine Government as of May 31, 2010 amounts to USD 56,6301 thousand (at May 31, 2009: USD 62,776 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 May 31, 2010, is equal to USD 28,285 thousand, capital USD 10,087 thousand and RSI USD 18,1981 thousand, (at May 31, 2009: USD 31,802 thousand, capital USD 12,962 thousand and RSI USD 18,8401 thousand) of which the amount of USD 10,857 thousand is past due at June 30, 2010 (at June 30, 2009: USD 10,514 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 Justices delay as to a resolution and payment of the overdue debt, Santander Ro Trust S.A., in its capacity as

Trustee and Grantor of the Leasing, on July 4, 2008, following the J.V.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 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 process is now at the stage of issue of the Mission Statement. In the opinion of the J.V.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 J.V. has a solid legal position to collect its credits within the scope of the abovementioned legal rules and regulations. In May 2009, the J.V. was informed of the passing of Executive Order No. 541/09, which empowers UNIREN to renegotiate the Construction, Trust and Leasing Agreement executed in 1998 in relation to Penitentiary Complex I (Ezeiza). The J.V. 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 Ro Trust S.A., in its capacity as Trustee and Grantor of the Leasing, following the J.V.s express instructions, to the above-stated respect claiming the unlawful nature of such executive order.

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 consider the possibility of loss is possible and, therefore, no provision was set up. The amounts of these contingencies amount as of June 30, 2010 to USD 9,611 thousand for tax contingencies and USD 4,198 thousand for civil contingencies. 23.

Sidernet S.A. At June 30, 2010, there are PP&E with a residual book value of USD 1,205 thousand (at June 30, 2009: USD 1,836 thousand) which are pledged as guarantee for liabilities under leasing agreements for USD 622 thousand (at June 30, 2009: USD 955 thousand) and USD 10 thousand (at June 30, 2009: USD 628 thousand), included in the account "Borrowings" (current and non-current, respectively). 24. 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 Siderrgicos 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 Orgnica de Ordenacin) 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 Orders 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 state-owned 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. Based on the foregoing, on June 12, 2008, the Sidernets 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 companys 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. Based on the facts and circumstances described above the Company ceased consolidating Sidernet and Sersisas 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.

TECHINT EQUIPMENT DIVISION (TEPAM)


During this fiscal year, TEPAM, in addition to the administration, maintenance, repair, assistance and allocation of equipment to the different projects for use, continued to provide assistance to Warehouse and General Services areas that centralize the Companys logistics, with the objective of supporting the beginning of works upon commissioning, and subsequently, monitoring their needs throughout the development of projects. The program for the total renewal of TEPAM equipment in 10 years continues, with the purpose of setting the aging of such machinery in 5 years; this will help reduce costs for repairs and obtain a competitive improvement. In the area of building infrastructure, we acquired a location in La Negra- Antofagasta (Chile) and we entered into a rental agreement in Chincha Alta (Peru) in order to comply with the requests of our internal clients. The investment value in machinery, vehicles and tools for the 2009-2010 fiscal year was USD 21.8 million.
