REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders, President and Board of Directors of GENNEIA S.A.
1. Identification of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements subject to review
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of GENNEIA S.A. (an Argentine corporation, hereinafter mentioned as “GENNEIA” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries which comprise the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2021, the interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and other explanatory information included in notes 1 to 11.
The amounts and other information corresponding to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and to the ninemonth period ended September 30, 2020 are an integral part of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above and are intended to be read only in relation to the amounts and other information of the current period.
2. Responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors for the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and consequently, is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, “Interim financial reporting”.
3. Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standards on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in conformity with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
4. Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of GENNEIA S.A. for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

5. Emphasis of matter paragraph related to negative working capital
We draw attention to Note 8.1 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which describes that “As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a negative working capital of US$ 63,267 thousand. This situation is strictly temporary and is mainly due to the short-term financial obligations directly related to the progress of the different projects that have been completed recently, as described in the notes to the financial statements as of December 31, 2020. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that, in line with the financial projections, the Company's Board of Directors and Management consider that the aforementioned situation does not present problems and will be reversed, among others, with (i) the refinancing and/or canceling of the Class XX Negotiable Obligations which matures in January 2022 for an amount of US$ 92 million; and (ii) the cash flow of the projects inaugurated during the current period and the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, which add up to an installed capacity of 706 MW”.
In relation to the financial debt for the Class XX Negotiable Obligations for US$ 92 million, which maturity will take place in January 2022, the Company's Board of Directors and Management considers that there is a reasonable probability of refinancing and/or canceling said debt at maturity and, therefore, there is no material uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
6. Other matter
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021 are not prepared, and do not include certain information, according to Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) regulations. The interim condensed consolidated and separate financial statements used by the Company for statutory, legal and regulatory purposes in Argentina are those prepared in Argentine pesos, issued and filed with the CNV, and approved by the Board of Directors of GENNEIA and authorized for issue on November 11, 2021.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.1. Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated financial statements of GENNEIA and its controlled companies as of September 30, 2021 and for the nine-month period then ended are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The adoption of such standard and of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) was determined by the Technical Resolution No. 26 (ordered text) issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”) and the regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2021 do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.
These condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, and do not include certain information, according to Argentine Securities Commission (“CNV”) regulations. The consolidated and separate financial statements used by the Company for statutory, legal and regulatory purposes in Argentina are those issued and filed with the CNV and approved by the Board of Directors of GENNEIA and authorized for issue on November 11, 2021.
Amounts and other information as of December 31, 2020 and for the nine and three-month period ended September 30, 2020, are included as an integral part of the above mentioned interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and are intended to be read only in relation to that interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited, but in the opinion of the Company's Management, include all necessary adjustments to be presented on a consistent basis with the audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“US$”) which is the functional currency of the Company (Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020), and are prepared mainly with the purpose of being used by the non-Argentine holders of the Company’s Negotiable Obligations and foreign financial institutions.

2.2. Applicable accounting policies
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021, taking into consideration the matters mentioned in Note 2.3, are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and, consequently, these condensed consolidated financial statements must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, which include the main accounting policies described in Note 3 of those financial statements.
These condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Company as defined by its Board of Directors (Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020). In accordance with the provisions of IAS 21, the Company's Management has defined for the companies Enersud Energy S.A.U., Ingentis II Esquel S.A., Patagonia Wind Energy S.A. Nor Aldyl Bragado S.A. Nor Aldyl San Lorenzo S.A., MyC Energía S.A. and Genneia Desarrollos S.A. the peso as the functional currency.
Under IAS 21, the financial statements of a subsidiary with the functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy have to be restated according to IAS 29 before they are included in the consolidated financial statements of its parent company with a functional currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy, except for their comparative figures. Following the aforementioned guidelines, the results and financial position of subsidiaries with the Peso as functional currency were translated into U.S. dollars by the following procedures: all amounts (i.e., assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity items, expenditures and revenues) were translated at the exchange rate effective at the closing date of the financial statements, except for comparative amounts, which were presented as current amounts in the financial statements of the previous fiscal year (i.e., these amounts were not be adjusted to reflect subsequent variations in price levels or exchange rates). Thus, the effect of the restatement of comparative amounts was recognized in other comprehensive income. When an economy ceases to be hyperinflationary and an entity ceases to restate its financial statements in accordance with IAS 29, it will use the amounts restated according to the price level of the date on which the entity ceased to make such restatement as historical costs, in order to translate them into the presentation currency.

The Company has adopted all the new standards and interpretations, or amendments issued by the IASB that are relevant to its operations and that are applicable as of September 30, 2021, as described in note 2.3.2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020. The new standards and their interpretations or modifications adopted have not had a significant impact on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements (Note 2.3.1).
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Company's Management and requires accounting estimates and judgments of the management when applying financial standards. Areas of high complexity which require more judgments or those in which assumptions and estimations are more significant are detailed in Note 4.
2.3. Standards and Interpretations issued
2.3.1. New standards issued adopted by the Company and impact of adoption.
The standards and interpretations or amendments thereto, published by the IASB, which were adopted as of the year beginning January 1, 2021, are as follows:
- Rental concessions related to COVID-19 (Amendment to IFRS 16)
The IASB published on May 28, 2020, an amendment that gives to tenants an exemption from assessing whether a COVID19-related rental concession is a lease modification. This amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020, with early application permitted.
The impact of its adoption was not significant on the disclosures or amounts reported in these financial statements.
- IASB amendments related to benchmark interest rate reform (IBOR) - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16)
On August 27, 2020, the IASB approved the amendments that introduce, in the case of financial assets, financial liabilities and leases, a practical expedient for the modifications necessary as a direct consequence of the IBOR reform and carried out on an economically viable basis. They clarify that hedge accounting is not being discontinued solely due to the IBOR reform and introduce disclosures that allow users to understand the nature and scope of risks arising from the IBOR reform to which the entity is exposed and how the entity manages those risks, as well as the entity's progress in transitioning from IBORs to alternative benchmarks and how the entity is managing this transition.
This amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with early application permitted.
The impact of its adoption was not significant on the disclosures or amounts reported in these financial statements.
There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after January 1, 2021 that have a significant effect on these financial statements, nor other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective and expected to have a significant effect on the Company.
2.3.2. New standards, interpretations and amendments issued not yet adopted
In addition to the new and revised IFRS that have been issued but are not yet in mandatory force as described in Note 2.3.2 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the standards and interpretations or modifications described below have also been issued. The Company did not adopt the standards and interpretations or amendments mentioned below, because its application is not required at the period ended September 30, 2021.
Amendments to IFRS 4 Extension of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9[(1)] Amendments to IAS 1 and the IFRS Disclosure of accounting policies[(1)] 2 Practice Document Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of accounting estimates[(1)] Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax Arising from Assets and Liabilities in a Single Transaction[(1)]
- (1) Effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.
8
- Extension of the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 (Amendments to IFRS 4)
The amendment extends the temporary exemption from IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts with regard to the application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The application of IFRS 9 is then required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Its early application is permitted.
- Disclosure of accounting policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and to the IFRS 2 Practical expedient)
The amendment requires an entity to disclose its material accounting policies, rather than its significant accounting policies. Adds information that explains how an entity can identify a material accounting policy, giving examples of when an accounting policy is likely to be material. The amendments clarify that the information on accounting policies may be material due to its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial. To support the amendment, the IASB has also developed guidance and examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the 'four-step materiality process' described in the IFRS 2 Practical expedient. The amendments clarify that information on accounting policies may be material due to its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial.
This amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.
- Definition of accounting estimates (Amendments to IAS 8)
The amendment replaces the definition of “change in accounting estimates” with a definition of “accounting estimates”. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Accounting issuers do if accounting policies require elements of financial statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty. The amendments clarify that a change in the accounting estimate resulting from new information or new estimates is not the correction of an error. In addition, the effects of a change in an entry or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes in accounting estimates if they are not the result of correcting errors from prior periods.
This amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.
- Deferred tax arising from assets and liabilities in a single transaction (Amendment to IAS 12)
The main change in deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction is an exception to the initial recognition exception provided for in the standard. The amendment indicates that the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions in which deductible or taxable temporary differences arise in the initial recognition for equal amounts.
This amendment is effective for annual financial statement reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Its early application is permitted.
The Company's Board of Directors anticipates that the application of the aforementioned modifications will not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.
As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company's Management is evaluating the impact that the adoption of the standards and interpretations or modifications to them, which are effective as of January 1, 2022 or later, will have in the financial statements of the Company. A reasonable estimate of the potential effect cannot be provided until a detailed review has been completed. The Company will not adopt any of these standards and interpretations or modifications in advance from their effective date and the Company will use the transition provisions included in each standard or amendment.
2.4. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of GENNEIA incorporate the separate financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities. They are considered controlled when the Company (i) has power over the investee, (ii) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and, (iii) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
9
The main consolidation adjustments are the following:
-
elimination of assets and liabilities and income and expenses of the parent with its subsidiaries, in order to disclose the balances maintained effectively with third parties; and
-
elimination of interests in the equity and earnings of the controlled entities, for each period.
The latest financial statements available as of the statement of financial position date have been used in the consolidation process and considering significant subsequent events and transactions and/or available management information and the transactions between GENNEIA and the controlled entity.
If necessary, financial statements of controlled entities are adjusted to adapt their accounting policies with those used by the Company.
Detailed below are the controlled companies whose financial statements have been included in these consolidated financial statements:

2.5. Investments in joint ventures:
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The results, assets, and liabilities of joint ventures are incorporated in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting.
Under the equity method, an investment in a joint venture is initially recognized in the statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint ventures.
Joint ventures have been valued based upon the latest available financial statements of these companies as of the end of each period or year, taking into consideration, if applicable, significant subsequent events and transactions, available management information and transactions between the Company and the related company which have produced changes on the latter’s shareholders’ equity.
On each closing date or upon the existence of signs of impairment, it is determined whether there is any objective evidence of impairment in the value of the investment in joint ventures. If this is the case, Company calculates the amount of the impairment as the difference between the recoverable value of joint ventures and their book value, and recognizes the difference under “Loss on long term investments in joint ventures” in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The recorded value of investments in joint ventures does not exceed their recoverable value.
2.6. Seasonality of operations
The operations of the Company do not have a significant seasonal nature.
NOTE 3 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Include cash, time deposits in financial entities and short-term investments with maturity up to three months at the acquisition date, with low risk of value variation and destined to cancel short-term liabilities.

NOTE 4 - CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the Management and Board of Directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future years.
The main accounting areas and items that require that management make significant judgment and estimates in preparing its financial statements are described in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and there have been no significant changes, except from the changes in the income tax described in note 5q.

In May 2019, the Company granted two loans for a total amount of US$ 10,150,000 due within 17 years to finance the execution of the project.
One of the loans was defined in pesos for an amount of AR$ 231,946,000 and accrues an interest rate on the balance of principal equivalent to the BADLAR rate on a quarterly basis. These interests will be capitalized quarterly until the date of the effective payment of the principal.
The other loan was defined in US dollars for an amount of US$ 4,950,000 and accrues an interest rate on the balance of principal equivalent to the annual LIBOR plus Country Risk Premium published by JPMorgan on a quarterly basis. These interests will be capitalized quarterly until the date of the effective payment of the principal.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, that loan defined in United States dollars was canceled in advance by Vientos de Necochea S.A. together with the part of the interest capitalized as of December 31, 2019 for a total amount of US$ 5,101,047. In addition, in the same period, Vientos de Necochea S.A. canceled in advance part of its debt for the loan determined in pesos for a total amount of US$ 2,842,996. Subsequently, in October 2020, the remaining balance of the debt at that time was converted to dollars by the terms and conditions agreed in the contract and began to accrue an interest rate on the principal balance equivalent to the ANNUAL LIBOR rate plus Premium for Country Risk published by JPMorgan on a quarterly basis. Said interests will be capitalized quarterly until the date of the effective payment of the principal.
The balance due as of September 30, 2021 is disclosed under “other non current receivables” and amounts to 3,402.
6.1.2. Loans and financing to Vientos Sudamericanos Chubut Norte IV S.A. and Vientos Patagónicos Chubut Norte III S.A.
In July 2019, the Company formalized with its related companies Vientos Sudamericanos Chubut Norte III SA and Vientos Patagonicos Chubut Norte IV S.A., a credit line agreement in pesos and without interest, by means of which it was determined that all the financing made used to pay the VAT payments up to the date became part of the credit line, the terms and conditions for future financial assistance were defined, and the possibility that an interest rate applicable to said credit line could be determined under common agreement of the parties from the date on which the parties agree.
The principal owed will be returned and paid in pesos exclusively with the amounts paid by the AFIP as credit for VAT refunds as such payments are received.
As of September 30, 2021, the balance related to said agreement is disclosed under “other current receivables” and amounts to 2,936 with Vientos Sudamericanos Chubut Norte IV S.A. and 5,000 with Vientos Patagónicos Chubut Norte III S.A.
In addition, in July 2019, the Companies signed a credit agreement in dollars and 0% interest rate, through which all the financing carried out to date, except those included in the agreement mentioned in the previous paragraph, went to being part of the credit line, the terms and conditions for future financial assistance were defined, and the possibility that the common agreement of the parties can determine an interest rate applicable to said credit line from the date on which the parties agree. The agreement has a term of 17 years from the signing date and early cancellations may be required by partial payments or in single payment before the due date. In accordance with the provisions of IFRS, this financial credit has been initially recognized at fair value at the time of the transaction in “other non-current receivables” of the Company's statement of financial position and the effect of the difference between said value and the nominal value of the financial assistance delivered has been recognized as other capital contributions within the long-term investment caption, net of the corresponding deferred tax effect.
As of September 30, 2021, the balance related to said agreement is disclosed under “other non current receivables” and amounts to 4,981 with Vientos Sudamericanos Chubut Norte IV S.A. and 3,602 with Vientos Patagónicos Chubut Norte III S.A.

The Company´s financial management coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets and monitors and manages associated financial risks. According to the nature, financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, being important the better possible analysis of the potential of those risks. Among the major risks that could affect the business of the Company are: market risk (which includes foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
Regarding the discontinuation of the LIBOR as a reference rate, it is worth clarifying that it will be available and used by the Company and its lenders, as a calculation basis, throughout the current fiscal year for those loans that establish it. However, the Financial Management is currently talking with the lenders to agree on the application of a new reference rate, which minimizes the uncertainties and the risk premium factor that represents the LIBOR rate today and motivates its discontinuation. Considering the total volume of the Company's financial debts that use the LIBOR rate and the potential alternatives under discussion, in the opinion of the Company's Management, the situation described will not have a material effect on the financial situation of the Company.
The interim condensed financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures of the financial risk management and should be read in connection with the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.
There have been no changes in the risk management or risk management policies applied by the Company since December 31, 2020.

NOTE 8 – RELEVANT EVENTS FOR THE PERIOD
8.1. Working Capital
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has a negative working capital of 63,267. This situation is strictly temporary and is mainly due to the short-term financial obligations directly related to the progress of the different projects that have been completed recently, as described in the notes to the financial statements as of December 31, 2020. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that, in line with the financial projections, the Company's Board of Directors and Management consider that the aforementioned situation does not present problems and will be reversed, among others, with (i) the refinancing and/or canceling of the Class XX Negotiable Obligations which matures in January 2022 for an amount of US$ 92 million; and (ii) the cash flow of the projects inaugurated during the current period and the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, which add up to an installed capacity of 706 MW.
In relation to the maturity of the financial debt for the Class XX Negotiable Obligations for US$ 92 million in January 2022, the Company's Board of Directors and Management considers that there is a reasonable probability of the refinancing and/or canceling said debt at maturity and, therefore, there is no material uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In this sense, in the evaluation carried out by the Company's Board of Directors and Management, it has been considered as critical judgment factors i) that the Company is in a solid operating and financial position -which is reflected in the increase in the flow of available funds and a reduction in the net financial debt to EBITDA- ratio; ii) that the Company has successfully proved several times having access to the international and local capital markets; iii) that the Company has access to bank financing lines; and iv) that the Company maintains frequent contact with banks and investors, which is extremely useful to know the situation of the debt market and their opinion about the Company.

During the years 2019 and 2020 and during the period ended September 30, 2021, there has been an increasing rise in the general level of prices, salary costs, interest rates and the exchange rate of foreign currency, as well as volatility in other variables of the economy, which has impacted on the figures in these financial statements.
On December 20, 2019, the National Congress passed Law No. 27,541 called the Law of Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation in the framework of Public Emergency declaring the public emergency in economic, financial, fiscal, administrative, pension, tariff matters, energy, health and social, delegating to the National Executive Power broad powers to ensure the sustainability of public debt, regulate the rate restructuring of the energy system through a renegotiation of the current comprehensive tariff revision and reorder the regulatory entities of the energy system, among others . In addition, electricity and natural gas rates will be maintained for a maximum period of 180 days for residential and commercial users and industries.
Said law, promoted by the new National Government, modified the personal property tax, increasing its rate, and empowered the National Executive Power to set higher rates for financial assets located abroad. Also, a new 30% currency purchase tax was created. This tax covers the purchase of bills and foreign currency in foreign currency for treasury or without a specific destination. As part of the package of measures aimed at reducing the fiscal deficit, said law suspended the pension adjustment system for 180 days, among other issues.
On April 30, 2020, the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 7001 (modified by Communication “A” 7030, Communication “A” 7042 and Communication “A” 7052, and for their eventual supplements and amendments, in hereinafter, “Communication“ A ”7001”) that establishes certain limitations on the transfer of securities to and from Argentina.
According to Communication “A” 7001, access to the Argentine exchange market for the purchase or transfer of foreign currency abroad (for any purpose) will be subject to the prior agreement of the Central Bank, if the person or entity seeking access the Argentine exchange market has sold securities with settlement in foreign currency or has transferred said securities to foreign depository entities during the immediately preceding 90 calendar days.
Furthermore, Communication “A” 7001 established: (i) that the person or entity must undertake not to make any sale or transfer during the 90 calendar days following said access; (ii) temporary restrictions to access the MULC to make certain import payments and for the payment of principal of loans whose creditor is a related entity.

Subsequently, on September 16, 2020, Communication “A” 7106 issued by the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic came into force, later supplemented by Communication “A” 7133. As provided in point 7 of Communication “A ”7106, debtors that register scheduled principal maturities between October 15, 2020 and June 30, 2021 (the“ Relevant Period ”) for, among others, financial debt operations abroad and issuance of debt securities With public registration in the country denominated in foreign currency, they must submit to the BCRA a detail of a refinancing plan based on certain conditions in order for the BCRA to grant access to the exchange market for the payment of said amortizations. The Relevant Period was extended until December 31, 2021 by Communication “A” 7230, currently replaced by Communication “A” 7272”.
On the other hand, with respect to the relevant period extended by communication “A” 7230, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have maturities.
The Board of Directors and the Management of the Company will analyze the evolution of the described issues, as well as the possible additional modifications that the National Government could implement and will evaluate the impacts that they could have on their financial and economic situation, results and future cash flows.
8.3. Effects of the spread of COVID-19 on our business, financial position and results of operations
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared an international health emergency due to the coronavirus outbreak. Since March 11, 2020, the WHO has characterized the spread of the coronavirus as a pandemic. This emergency situation and the measures adopted in the different countries to deal with it have significantly affected international economic activity with different impacts in each affected country and business sectors.
The extent of the impact of the Coronavirus on our operational and financial performance will depend on the evolution of the events (duration and rate of spread, as well as the national and international governmental measures taken for this purpose) and the impact that this situation generates on the payment chain of our main client CAMMESA, employees and suppliers; all of which is uncertain and cannot be predicted at the moment.
As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, as a result of the aforementioned situation, there have been delays in payments by CAMMESA -mainly with regard to thermal generation and unsecured renewable energy contracts. FODER (Rawson I, II and Trelew wind farms). Likewise, the Ministry of Energy of the Nation has ordered the suspension of the indexation of the prices established by Resolution No. 31/2020 during the year 2020, during the year 2021, the Ministry of energy carried out an update of the rates by means of the Resolution 440/2021 (see note 8.7.1) There have also been certain delays in the provision of supplies and materials destined mainly for the Chubut Norte II, III and IV projects, which were commercially enabled during 2021 (Note 8.4 .3 and 8.5.2.3).
Taking into consideration the characteristics of the Company's business and operations, as of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the issues previously stated do not represent a material adverse effect on the financial situation, results and cash flows. of the society. It is not possible to foresee the effects that the extension and deepening of the pandemic spread of the Coronavirus and the local and international government emergency regulations, already adopted or to be adopted in the future as a consequence, could have on the world economy, in Argentina or of its strategic partners, nor in the Company; However, for the purposes of issuing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, there is no evidence that the Company will have significant difficulties in continuing with its activities normally in the next twelve months.

8.5. Principal contingencies, claims and contingent assets
The main contingencies, claims and contingent assets are described in Note 11 to the annual consolidated financial statements. The main news for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 are described below:
8.5.1. Situation with IEASA (EX ENARSA) - IEASA receivables and payables
Since 2011, the Company and the subsidiary Enersud Energy S.A.U. ("Enersud") started to accumulate debts vis-à-vis IEASA for purchases of natural gas, because of the extensive delay by the Argentine Government in implementing the process for replacing the power supply agreements with IEASA (EX ENARSA) under the Energía Distribuida Program with new agreements with CAMMESA under Resolution SE 220/07.
On the other hand, several balances receivable from IEASA (EX ENARSA) started to accrue for generation invoices and unrecorded accrued amounts for exchange rate differences between the invoicing date and the date of effective payment.
In 2015, the Company notified IEASA of the legal compensation of its liabilities for an amount of US$ 38.2 million corresponding to invoices issued by IEASA pursuant to gas sales contracts (the “Gas Debt”) with the credits of the Partnership with IEASA corresponding to exchange differences and other items withheld from invoices paid by CAMMESA (on behalf of IEASA).
In October 2017 and June 2020, IEASA requested the Company to pay the Gas Debt, thereby implicitly ignoring said compensation alleged by the Company. In December 2017 and July 2020, the Company objected to IEASA's respective requests.
As part of the notification sent to IEASA in July 2020, the Company and its subsidiary Parque Eólico Loma Blanca IV S.A. They ordered the payment of amounts owed under the Rawson (I and II) wind farm PPAs and the Trelew wind farm PPA for the sum of US$ 9.4 million and US$ 5.8 million, respectively. These amounts contain the corresponding exchange differences. Additionally, in January 2021 the Company and the Loma Blanca IV Wind Farm filed before the Arbitration Tribunal of the Stock Exchange arbitration claims claiming sums owed as of that date under the PPAs indicated for US$ 9.4 million and US$ 10.5 million in concept of capital, plus applicable interest. In October 2021, Parque Eólico Loma Blanca IV S.A. increased the sum of the demanded capital by US$ 1.6 million based on the generation of new unpaid balances. Thereto, IEASA timely filed its response, denying its debt and claiming that the statute of limitation of two years should apply to certain invoices and debit notes claimed thereunder. On July 5, 2021 the court deferred its decision on the statute of limitation to its final decision on the subject matter.
37
Based on the opinion of its external advisors, the Company considers that the compensation made is legal in nature and has solid legal and factual bases to reject any claim of IEASA that tries to object to the compensation, including any possible claim for interests associated with the debt of gas. On the other hand, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, the Company considers that it has the pertinent information and documentation that supports the rights to collect the amounts claimed before the arbitration tribunal of the Stock Exchange.
8.5.2. Situation with CAMMESA
8.5.2.1. Ullum 1 y 2 Penalty
The Ullum 1 and 2 Photovoltaic Plants reached commercial authorization on December 19, 2018, 32 days after the date set in their respective PPAs. On repeated occasions, Ullum 1 and Ullum 2 made presentations to CAMMESA reporting various facts that in their opinion constituted force majeure events and that, if accepted as such, would exempt the aforementioned subsidiaries from the application of fines for delays in obtaining the commercial clearance. CAMMESA recognized only 2 days of force majeure, and on March 21, 2019, it notified Ullum 1 and Ullum 2 of the application of a fine of US$ 1,041,000 each, corresponding to a 30-day delay in reaching the date of commercial authorization agreed in the PPAs.
In March 2020, CAMMESA began to debit the current account of Ullum 1 and Ullum 2 on a monthly basis, for their respective PPAs, the total amount of the fine, in 48 installments in dollars, with an annual interest of 1.7% on the balance.
By virtue of the provisions of the contracts for the "turnkey" construction, supply, assembly and start-up of the works of the Ullum Photovoltaic Power Plants, signed with Energías Sustentables S.A. (“ESSA”) and other related agreements (the “EPC Agreement”), ESSA assumed the obligation to pay the total amount of the fines that may be applied by CAMMESA for delays in obtaining the commercial authorization of the Ullum Photovoltaic Power Plants 1 and 2, discounted at a nominal annual rate of 12%.
ESSA's payment obligation was guaranteed by (i) US$ 878,464 deposited in an escrow account opened in the U.S. Bank National Association, corresponding to the price balance of the EPC Agreement, which can be withdrawn by individual instruction of the companies, and (ii) promissory notes issued by ESSA and guaranteed by Fides Group S.A. and its shareholder for a total amount of US$ 878,464. As of the date of these Financial Statements, the companies Ullum 1 and Ullum 2 received from the U.S. Bank National Association the transfer of the US$ 878,464 previously mentioned.
On February 5, 2021, a unique arbitration process was initiated to question the origin of said penalties, both for reasons of force majeure and for the exorbitant fines. As of the date of these financial statements, the arbitration process is in the evidentiary stage.
In the event that, after payment of the fine by ESSA, by a final and final judgment, the amount of the fine is totally or partially reduced, the companies must reimburse ESSA for the amounts discounted in excess of the final amount of the fine.
38
8.5.2.2. Necochea Wind Farm Penalty
On February 8, 2020, CAMMESA granted the commercial authorization of the Necochea wind farm with a commercially enabled power of 38 MW. This meant a delay in the deadlines committed under the PPA, since the Commercial Enablement Date agreed in said contract was December 11, 2019.
On March 4, 2021, the National Energy Secretariat, through Note NO-2021-19390103-APN-SE # MEC, ordered the granting of an extension for a period of up to 88 calendar days on the date agreed in the PPAs for the commercial authorization, of those projects that can prove delays as a consequence of the exchange restrictions resolved through DNU N ° 609/2019 and Communication “A” 6770 of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic. The granting of the extension is conditioned to the owners of the projects renouncing to make claims related to the exchange restrictions.
On June 9, 2021, through Note B-156007-1, CAMMESA informed Vientos de Necochea that the application of the fine provided for in Clause 13.3 (b), consisting of an amount of one thousand three hundred and eighty-eight dollars, was applicable.

In July, August, September and October 2021, CAMMESA issued debit notes against Vientos de Necochea, through which it deducted from the payments due to Vientos de Necochea under the PPA the first four installments of the Imposed Fine, out of a total of 48 installments.
As of the date of these financial statements, through notes B-157586-1, CAMMESA gave rise to the request for an extension presented by Vientos de Necochea, informing that the Commercial Enablement Date of the project was extended beyond the effective commercial enablement date and that it would return the discounted installments of the Fine Imposed to date, once the corresponding Addendum to the PPA has been executed.

Through Note NO-2020-37458730-APN-SE # MDP dated June 10, 2020, the Ministry of Energy expressed that, in consideration of the exceptional and anomalous situations generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to review the conditions of enforceability of certain obligations arising from the contracts entered into and the current regulations. Consequently, the Ministry of Energy instructed the temporary suspension, until September 12, 2020 (inclusive), of the calculation of terms within the framework of the execution of the contracts of the RenovAr Programs (Rounds 1, 1.5, 2 and 3) (among others) of those projects that had not been commercially enabled as of March 12, 2020. As a corollary of the foregoing, it also instructed CAMMESA to suspend the injunctions for non-compliance with the scheduled dates of progress of works, both with respect to the increase in the guarantee of contract fulfillment and the imposition of fines.
Through Note NO-2020-60366379-APN-SSEE # MEC, dated September 10, 2020, the Undersecretariat of Electric Energy resolved to extend, until November 15, 2020, the suspension of terms provided by the aforementioned Note NO-202037458730-APN-SE # MDP, setting as a condition for accessing the extension of the aforementioned extension, the submission of a waiver to make claims to the National State, the Ministry of Energy and CAMMESA in relation to the delays caused between on March 12 and November 15, 2020 due to the health emergency generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this regard, on September 25, 2020, the subsidiaries that own the Chubut Norte III and IV Wind Farms submitted their resignation notes to CAMMESA.
Finally, through Note NO-2020-88681913-APN-SE # MEC of December 18, 2020, the Secretary of Energy of the Nation extended once again the suspension of terms granted by the previous notes, for a period of 45 calendar days, counted from November 16, 2020 (that is, until December 30, 2020, inclusive), with respect to those projects specifically listed in Annex I. The Vientos Patagónicos Chubut Norte III S.A. and Vientos Sudamericanos Chubut Norte IV S.A. projects are expressly included in that Annex and are therefore reached by the new extension. In this sense, by virtue of the extension of the aforementioned extension, the new Scheduled Date of Commercial Enablement of both projects would become January 21, 2021.
On February 4 and February 25, 2021, CAMMESA granted the commercial authorization of the Chubut Norte IV and Chubut Norte III wind farms, respectively. This meant a delay in the deadlines committed under the PPA, since the Commercial Enablement Date finally established from the extensions mentioned below is January 21, 2021. In this context, CAMMESA could claim the application, to the Company , of the fine contemplated in the PPA, consisting of an amount of one thousand three hundred and eighty-eight dollars (US$ 1,388) for each megawatt of power contracted (Chubut Norte III 57,6 MW and Chubut Norte IV 82,8 MW) for each day of delay in reaching the Commercial Qualification Date with respect to the Qualification Date Committed commercial.

Subsequently, on March 4, 2021, the National Energy Secretariat, through Note NO-2021-19390103-APN-SE # MEC, ordered the granting of an extension for a period of up to 88 calendar days on the date agreed in the PPAs for the commercial authorization, of those projects that can prove delays because of the exchange restrictions resolved through DNU N ° 609/2019 and Communication “A” 6770 of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic. The granting of the extension is conditioned to the owners of the projects renouncing to make claims related to the exchange restrictions.
Through notes B-156890-1 and B-156891-1, CAMMESA acknowledged the extension requested by Vientos Patagónicos and Vientos Sudamericanos, and informed that the COD of both projects has been extended beyond the actual comercial operation date and the application of the penalty contemplated in Article 13.2 of the PPA does not apply.

Subsequently, and effective for fiscal period 2021, through Ordinance No. 11,546, the Municipality modified the calculation basis of the applicable Rate that it considers applicable to the aforementioned wind farms.
The Municipality initiated inspection processes in the Company and the other subsidiaries and joint ventures that own the wind farms currently located within the Puerto Madryn boundaries, namely: Genneia Vientos del Sur S.A., Vientos Patagónicos Chubut Norte III S.A., and Vientos Sudamericanos Chubut Norte IV S.A. The Municipality of Puerto Madryn determined ex officio the application of the rate for authorization, inspection, safety and hygiene and environmental control for several periods and amounts. On November 12, 2020, the Company and each of the subsidiaries filed their respective discharges with the Municipality.
Since the end of 2019, within the framework of the current PPAs for the Madryn I, Madryn II, Chubut Norte I, III and IV Wind Farms, the Company and its subsidiaries have made a series of presentations to CAMMESA, requesting a revision of the price of PPAs to compensate for the effect that the application of these rates could have. On August 14, 2020, CAMMESA issued a statement on the matter stating that it will submit the request to the Ministry of Energy. As of the date of these Financial Statements, the Ministry of Energy has not been issued.
In March 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries and joint ventures (Genneia Vientos del Sur S.A., Vientos Patagónicos Chubut Norte III S.A. y Vientos Sudamericanos Chubut Norte IV S.A.), filed before the Federal Court of Rawson a lawsuit against the Municipality of Puerto Madryn, seeking to render null and void these rates and requesting precautionary measures.
In May 2021, the Federal Chamber of Comodoro Rivadavia issued a ruling, granting the requested precautionary measures, suspending all the effects derived from the authorization, inspection, safety and hygiene and environmental control fees and also the application of any preventive measure aimed at ensuring the collection of your alleged credit, until the substantive issue is resolved. Consequently, the Municipality annulled the provisions that gave rise to the ex officio determinations and prior injunctions.
The Management and legal advisors of the Company consider that, in the event that these rates are applied, the Company and its subsidiaries have sufficient arguments to achieve a favorable result in court.

It established that in order for Resolution No. 440 to be applicable, each WEM generating agent must submit a note (“the waiver note”) to CAMMESA, within 30 calendar days from the publication of Resolution No. 440, expressing fully and unconditionally to the satisfaction of CAMMESA the waiver to any administrative claim or judicial process in progress against the Argentine government, the SE and/or CAMMESA, related to article 2 of Resolution No. 31, as well as the waiver to file any administrative and/or judicial claim against the Argentine government, the SE and / or CAMMESA in the future, in relation to it.
If the presentation is made within the 30 calendar days mentioned, the new remuneration values will be applied retroactively to February 2021, however if the presentation is made once the indicated term has expired, the new remuneration values will be applied from the transaction of the month that the waiver note is presented. In the event that the generating agent does not submit the waiver note, the sales settlement will be carried out with the remuneration values in force prior to the sanction of Resolution No. 440.
On June 17, 2021 the subsidiary Genneia Desarrollos, submitted the waiver note within 30 calendar days.
