the Central Bank was obligated to sell U.S. dollars at one peso per U.S. dollar. On January&nbsp;6, 2002, the Argentine Congress enacted the Public Emergency Law (Law No.&nbsp;25,561, the Public Emergency and Foreign Exchange System Reform Law),
formally putting an end to the Convertibility Law regime and abandoning over 10 years of U.S. dollar-peso parity. The Public Emergency Law, which has been extended until December&nbsp;31, 2011, grants the executive branch of the Argentine government
the power to set the exchange rate between the peso and foreign currencies and to issue regulations related to the foreign exchange market. Following a brief period during which the Argentine government established a temporary dual exchange rate
system pursuant to the Public Emergency Law, the peso has been allowed to float freely against other currencies since February 2002 although the government has the power to intervene by buying and selling foreign currency for its own account, a
practice in which it engages on a regular basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following table sets forth the annual high, low, average and period-end

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On December&nbsp;3, 2001, the Argentine government imposed a number of monetary and currency
exchange control measures through Decree 1570/01, which included restrictions on the free disposition of funds deposited with banks and tight restrictions on transferring funds abroad (including the transfer of funds to pay dividends) without the
Central Bank&#146;s prior authorization subject to specific exceptions for transfers related to foreign trade. Since January 2003, the Central Bank has gradually eased these restrictions and expanded the list of transfers of funds abroad that do not
require its prior authorization (including the transfer of funds to pay dividends). In June 2003, the Argentine government set restrictions on capital flows into Argentina, which mainly consisted of a prohibition against the transfer abroad of any
funds until 180 days after their entry into the country. In June 2005, the government established further restrictions on capital flows into Argentina, including increasing the period that certain incoming funds must remain in Argentina to 365
calendar days and requiring that 30% of incoming funds be deposited with a bank in Argentina in a non-assignable, non-interest-bearing account for 365 calendar days. Under the exchange regulations currently in force, restrictions exist in respect of
the repatriation of funds or investments by non-Argentine residents. For instance, subject only to limited exceptions, the repatriation by non-Argentine residents of funds received as a result of the sale of the Class D shares in the secondary
market is subject to a limit of U.S.$500,000 per person per calendar month. In order to repatriate such funds abroad, non-Argentine residents also are required to demonstrate that the funds used to make the investment in the Class D shares were
transferred to Argentina at least 365 days before the proposed repatriation. The transfer abroad of dividend payments is currently authorized by applicable regulations to the extent that such dividend payments are made in connection with audited
financial statements and are approved by a shareholders&#146; meeting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><A NAME="toc43063_12"></A>Risk Factors </B></FONT></P>

developing mineral resources within Argentina, while the provincial governments are responsible for enforcing these laws and administering hydrocarbon fields that fall within the territories of their respective provinces. Certain provincial
governments, however, have construed the provisions of Law No.&nbsp;26,197 and Article 124 to empower the provinces to enact their own regulations concerning exploration and production of oil and gas within their territories. There can be no

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the last several years, the Argentine authorities have adopted a number of measures
that have resulted in extensive restrictions on exports of natural gas from Argentina. Due to the foregoing, we have been obliged to sell a part of our natural gas production previously destined for the export market in the local Argentine market
and have not been able to meet our contractual gas export commitments in whole or, in some cases, in part, leading to disputes with our export clients and forcing us to declare <I>force majeure</I> under our export sales agreements. We believe that
the measures mentioned above constitute <I>force majeure</I> events that relieve us from any contingent liability for the failure to comply with our contractual obligations, although no assurance can be given that this position will prevail. See
&#147;Item 4. Information on the Company&#151;Exploration and Production&#151;Delivery commitments&#151;Natural gas supply contracts,&#148; &#147;Item 4. Information on the Company&#151;Exploration and Production&#151;The Argentine natural gas

of our natural gas export authorizations is subject to an analysis by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy of natural gas reserves in the Noroeste basin. The result of such analysis is uncertain and may have an adverse impact upon our performance of
the export gas sales agreements related to such export authorizations should the Argentine Secretariat of Energy determine that reserves are inadequate. See &#147;Item 8. Financial Information&#151;Legal Proceedings&#151;Argentina.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Crude oil exports, as well as the export of most of our hydrocarbon products, currently require prior authorization from the Argentine
Secretariat of Energy (pursuant to the regime established under Resolution S.E. No.&nbsp;1679/04 as amended and supplemented by other regulation). Oil companies seeking to export crude oil or LPG must first demonstrate that the local demand for such
product is satisfied or that an offer to sell the product to local purchasers has been made and rejected. Oil refineries seeking to export diesel fuel must also first demonstrate that the local demand of diesel is duly satisfied. Because domestic
diesel production does not currently satisfy Argentine domestic consumption needs, we have been prevented since 2005 from selling diesel production in the export market, and thereby obliged to sell in the local market at prevailing domestic prices.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are unable to predict how long these export restrictions will be in place, or whether any further measures will be adopted

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Since 2002, new duties have been imposed on exports, and have been progressively increased over the years. Resolution 394/2007 of the
Ministry of Economy and Production, published on November&nbsp;16, 2007, amended the export duties on crude oil and other crude derivative products imposed in previous years. The new regime provides that when the WTI international price exceeds the

part of our and other Argentine oil companies&#146; concessions occurs in 2017. The authority to extend the terms of current and new permits, concessions and contracts has been vested in the governments of the provinces in which the relevant area is
located (and the federal government in respect of offshore areas beyond 12 nautical miles). In order to be eligible for the extension, any concessionaire and permit holder must have complied with its obligations under the Hydrocarbons Law and the
terms of the particular concession or permit, including evidence of payment of taxes and royalties, the supply of the necessary technology, equipment and labor force and compliance with various environmental, investment and development obligations.
Under the Hydrocarbons Law, non-compliance with these obligations and standards may also result in the imposition of fines and in the case of material breaches, following the expiration of applicable cure periods, the revocation of the concession or
permit. Concessions representing approximately 50% of our proved reserves as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 have been extended prior to the date of this annual report (see Note 10(c) to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements). We cannot provide

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Argentina is the second largest producer of natural gas and the fourth largest producer of crude oil in Latin America based on 2008
production, according to the BP Statistical Review. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In response to the economic crisis of 2001 and 2002, the Argentine
government, pursuant to the Public Emergency Law (Law No.&nbsp;25,561), established export taxes on certain hydrocarbon products. In subsequent years, in order to satisfy growing domestic demand and abate inflationary pressures, this policy was
supplemented by constraints on domestic prices, temporary export restrictions and subsidies on imports of natural gas and diesel. As a result, until 2008, local prices for oil and natural gas products had remained significantly below those prevalent
in neighboring countries and international commodity exchanges, heightening domestic demand for such products. In the case of natural gas, the price at which Bolivia exports natural gas to Argentina was approximately U.S.$6.16/mmBtu in December 2009
and in March 2010, while our average sales price in Argentina during 2009 was approximately U.S.$1.86/mmBtu. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Argentina&#146;s
gross domestic product, or GDP, has grown at an average annual real rate of approximately 8.5% from 2003 to 2008, after declines during the economic crisis of 2001 and 2002. Driven by this economic expansion and low domestic prices, energy demand
has increased significantly during the same period, outpacing energy supply (which in the case of oil declined). For example, Argentine natural gas and diesel consumption grew at average annual rates of 6.7% and 4.7%, respectively, during the period
2003-2008, according to the BP Statistical Review and the Argentine Secretariat of Energy. As a result of this increasing demand and actions taken by the Argentine regulatory authorities to support domestic supply, exported volumes of hydrocarbon
products, especially natural gas, diesel and gasoline, declined steadily over this period. At the same time, Argentina has increased hydrocarbon imports, becoming a net importer of certain products, such as diesel, and increased imports of gas
(including NGL). In 2003, Argentina&#146;s net exports of diesel amounted to approximately 1,349 mcm, while in 2009 its net imports of diesel amounted to approximately 545 mcm, according to information provided by the Argentine Secretariat of
Energy. Significant investments in the energy sector are expected to be required in order to support continued economic growth, as the industry is currently operating near capacity. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Demand for diesel in Argentina exceeds domestic production. In addition, the import prices of refined products have been substantially
higher than the average domestic sales prices of such products, rendering the import and resale of such products uneconomic. As a result, service stations experience temporary shortages and are required to suspend or curtail diesel sales. While we
are operating our refineries at or above capacity, during peak demand periods we are forced to prorate supplies among our service stations according to historical sales levels. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As the largest integrated oil and gas company in Argentina, we believe that we are well positioned to benefit from potential reform in
the energy sector, although we cannot assure that reforms will be implemented or, if implemented, that they will be advantageous to our business. </FONT></P>

petroleum products. In August 1989, Argentina enacted laws aimed at the deregulation of the economy and the privatization of Argentina&#146;s state-owned companies, including us. Following the enactment of these laws, a series of presidential
decrees were promulgated, which required, among other things, us to sell majority interests in our production rights to certain major producing areas and to undertake an internal management and operational restructuring program. </FONT></P>

Venezuela and Brazil based on 2008 data, according to the 2008 edition of BP Statistical Review of World Energy, published in June 2009 (the &#147;BP Statistical Report&#148;). Oil has historically accounted for the majority of the country&#146;s
hydrocarbon production and consumption, although the relative share of natural gas has increased rapidly in recent years. According to the BP Statistical Report, a total of 23 sedimentary basins have been identified in the country. Six of these are
combined onshore/offshore and three are entirely offshore. Argentina&#146;s total onshore acreage is composed of approximately 421&nbsp;million acres, and total offshore acreage consists of 176&nbsp;million acres on the South Atlantic shelf within
the 200-meter depth line. A substantial portion of the country&#146;s estimated 571&nbsp;million acres in sedimentary basins has yet to be evaluated by exploratory drilling. Commercial production is concentrated in five basins: Neuquina, Cuyana and
Golfo San Jorge in central Argentina, Austral in southern Argentina (which includes onshore and offshore fields), and the Noroeste basin in northern Argentina. The Neuquina and Golfo San Jorge basins are the most significant basins for our
activities in Argentina. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following table shows our gross and net interests in productive oil and gas wells in Argentina

approximately 120 miles from the Louisiana coast within the deepwater region of the Central Gulf of Mexico. The unitized field area comprises Atwater Valley Blocks 573, 574, 575, 617 and 618. Our indirect subsidiary, Maxus U.S. Exploration Company,
has a 15% working interest in the field. The other joint venture participants are BHP Billiton (35%), Marathon Oil Corp. (30%)&nbsp;and Woodside Petroleum Ltd (20%). BHP Billiton is the operator of the Neptune Field and the associated production
facilities. The Neptune reserves are being produced using a standalone, tension leg platform (TLP) located in Green Canyon Block 613 within 4,230 feet of water. Production began on July&nbsp;8, 2008. The platform supports seven sub-sea development
wells which are tied back to the TLP via a subsea gathering system. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2009, YPF Holdings Inc. (&#147;YPF Holdings&#148;)

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, we held through YPF Guyana Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of YPF International, S.A., an

working interest of 2,520 square kilometers, which represents approximately 622.7&nbsp;thousand undeveloped acres. The renewal of the Petroleum Prospecting License took place on November&nbsp;25, 2009 and it was granted by the Guyana government for
three years. In accordance with the Petroleum Agreement, the start of a new renewal period implied a relinquishment of 930 square kilometers (according to our 30% interest) of the Georgetown exploration block (offshore Guyana), as well as the
drilling of an exploratory well, in respect of which we have committed to make capital expenditures of U.S.$32.4 million (according to our undivided interest of 30% in that exploration block). Drilling of the exploratory well must commence before
May&nbsp;25, 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The main exploration activities performed during 2009 were the acquisition and primary processing of 3D
seismic data for 1,850 square kilometers. Additionally, the seismic data was re-processed using pre-stack depth migration. Regional and detailed geological studies and field and well data were analyzed to assess the potential of the Georgetown
block. These studies led to the definition of the Jaguar 1 prospect, considered the main exploration target of the block. During 2010, the exploration activities will be focused on the final prospect coordinates and depth definition, followed by

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated
with reasonable certainty to be economically producible (from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations) prior to the time at which contracts providing the right
to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator
must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within reasonable time. In some cases, substantial investments in new wells and related facilities may be required to recover proved reserves. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In accordance with the SEC&#146;s new rules, information on net proved reserves as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 (including for the
calculation of unit-of-production depreciation rates and the standardized measure of discounted net cash flow) was calculated using the average price during the 12-month period ending on December&nbsp;31, 2009, determined as an unweighted average of
the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of that period. Information on net proved reserves as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 was calculated using year-end prices and costs, respectively. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interest of YPF after deducting interests owned by
third parties. In determining net reserves, we exclude from our reported reserves royalties due to others, whether payable in cash or in kind, where the royalty owner has a direct interest in the underlying production and is able to make lifting and
sales arrangements independently. By contrast, to the extent that royalty payments required to be made to a third party, whether payable in cash or in kind, are a financial obligation, or are substantially equivalent to a production or severance
tax, the related reserves are not excluded from our reported reserves despite the fact that such payments are referred to as &#147;royalties&#148; under local rules. We follow the same methodology in reporting our production amounts. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Gas reserves exclude the gaseous equivalent of liquids expected to be removed from the gas on concessions and leases, at field facilities
and at gas processing plants. These liquids are included in net proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas liquids. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">YPF&#146;s estimated proved reserves as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 are based on estimates generated through the integration of available
and appropriate data, utilizing well-established technologies that have been demonstrated in the field to yield repeatable and consistent results. Data used in these integrated assessments include information obtained directly from the subsurface
via wellbore, such as well logs, reservoir core samples, fluid samples, static and dynamic pressure information, production test data, and surveillance and performance information. The data utilized also include subsurface information obtained
through indirect measurements, including high quality 2-D and 3-D seismic data, calibrated with available well control. Where applicable, surface geological information was also utilized. The tools used to interpret and integrate all these data
included both proprietary and commercial software for reservoir modeling, simulation and data analysis. In some circumstances, where appropriate analog reservoir models are available, reservoir parameters from these analog models were used to
increase the reliability of our reserves estimates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The use of new reliable technology as well as the change to an average of
the first-day of the month prices from year-end prices to calculate proved reserves did not have any material impact on YPF&#146;s proved reserves volumes in 2009. </FONT></P>

reported proved reserves as of such date. This compares to estimated net proved undeveloped reserves of 286 mmboe at December&nbsp;31, 2008 (25% of the 1,133 mmboe total reported proved reserves as of such date). This 26% decrease in net proved
undeveloped reserves in 2009 was principally due to the implementation of development programs which resulted in the transfer of approximately 81 mmboe from proved undeveloped to proved developed reserves during such year. The largest transfers were
associated with the drilling activity in development projects and the installation of compression facilities in the Loma La Lata, Sierras Blancas and San Roque gas fields. On the other hand, newly approved projects and revisions of previous
estimates resulted in a net addition of 6 mmboe in proved undeveloped reserves for this period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We estimate (based on preliminary reports of amounts delivered by transport companies) that natural gas consumption in Argentina totaled
approximately 1,547 bcf in 2009. We estimate that the number of users connected to distribution systems throughout Argentina amounted to approximately 7.4&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2009. The average annual domestic consumption of natural
gas has grown significantly over recent years, driven by the forces of economic growth and domestic price; although we do not believe that the natural gas market will continue to grow at the same rate as it has recently done. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2009, we sold approximately 32% of our natural gas to local residential distribution companies, approximately 64% to industrial users
(including Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a Mega S.A. (Mega) and Profertil S.A. (Profertil)) and power plants, and approximately 4% in exports to foreign markets (principally Chile). Approximately 75% of our natural gas sales were produced in the Neuquina
basin. During 2009, our domestic natural gas sales volumes were 9.6% less than those in 2008, mainly due to the greater offer of hydraulic-generated energy and the lower consumption of residential markets because of the smooth winter temperatures.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Demand for natural gas has been driven by domestic constraints on natural gas prices that commenced in 2002 following the
currency devaluation, which created very low prices for natural gas as compared to alternative fuels. However, as explained above, domestic sales decreased in 2009. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In January 2004, Decree No.&nbsp;181/04 authorized the Argentine Secretariat of Energy to negotiate with producers a pricing mechanism
for natural gas supplied to industries and electric generation companies. Domestic market prices at the retail market level were excluded from these negotiations. Subsequently, the Argentine government has taken a number of additional steps aimed at
satisfying domestic natural gas demand, including pricing regulations, export controls and higher export taxes and domestic market injection requirements. See &#147;Regulatory Framework and Relationship with Argentine Government.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">During the last several years the Argentine authorities have adopted a number of measures restricting exports of natural gas from
Argentina, including issuing injection orders pursuant to Resolutions No.&nbsp;659 and No.&nbsp;752 (which allow Argentine authorities to require exporters to increase supply of natural gas into the Argentine domestic market), issuing express
instructions to suspend exports, suspending processing of natural gas and adopting restrictions on natural gas exports imposed through transportation companies and/or emergency committees created to address crisis situations. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">These restrictions were imposed on all Argentine exporting producers, affecting natural gas
exports from every producing basin. See &#147;&#151;Delivery commitments&#151;Natural gas supply contracts&#148;. Exporting producers, such as us, have no choice but to comply with the Argentine government&#146;s directions to curtail exports in
order to supply gas to the domestic market, whether such directions are issued pursuant to resolutions or otherwise. The above-mentioned Resolutions provide penalties for non-compliance. Rule SSC No.&nbsp;27/2004 issued by the Undersecretary of
Fuels (&#147;Rule 27&#148;), for example, punishes the violation of any order issued thereunder by suspending or revoking the production concession. Resolutions No.&nbsp;659 and No.&nbsp;752 also provide that producers not complying with injection
orders will have their concessions and export permits suspended or revoked and state that pipeline operators are prohibited from shipping any natural gas injected by a non-complying exporting producer. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Argentine government began restricting natural gas export permits pursuant to Rule 27 in April 2004, and in June 2004 the Argentine
government began issuing injection orders to us under Resolution No.&nbsp;659. Thereafter, the volumes of natural gas required to be provided to the domestic market under the different mechanisms described above have continued to increase
substantially. The regulations pursuant to which the Argentine government has restricted natural gas export volumes in most cases do not have an express expiration date. Likewise, we have not received any documentation indicating that the Argentine
government will suspend or withdraw these actions. Accordingly, we are unable to predict how long these measures will be in place, or whether such measures or any further measures adopted will affect additional volumes of natural gas. </FONT></P>

Additionally, Resolution No.&nbsp;1417 (December 2008) increased the price of natural gas for the residential segment with highest energy consumption rates, as defined under such Resolution. Pursuant to the Resolution, such increase in prices is

charges to be paid by users of regular transport (which shall be invoiced by the transporters/distributors on firm transport) and distribution services gas consumers that receive gas directly from producers and companies that process natural gas;
(ii)&nbsp;special credit programs that may be arranged with domestic or international organizations; and (iii)&nbsp;specific contributions assessed by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy on participants in the natural gas industry. The application

which is strategically located in relation to the principal market of Buenos Aires and is supported by sufficient pipeline capacity during most of the year. Accordingly, we believe that natural gas from this region has a competitive advantage
compared to natural gas from other regions. The capacity of the natural gas pipelines in Argentina has proven in the past to be inadequate at times to meet peak-day winter demand, and there is no meaningful storage capacity in Argentina. Since
privatization, local pipeline companies have added capacity, improving their ability to satisfy peak-day winter demand but no assurances can be given that this additional capacity will be sufficient to meet demand. </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In order to bridge the gap between supply and demand, especially with respect to peak-day
winter demand, the Argentine government has entered into gas import agreements. The Framework Agreement between the Bolivian and the Argentine governments (executed on June&nbsp;29, 2006) provides for natural gas imports from Bolivia to Argentina to
be managed by ENARSA. The Framework Agreement establishes a 20-year delivery plan of between 7.7 and 27.7 mmcm/d of Bolivian gas to Argentina. The delivery of volumes exceeding 7.7 mmcm/d is subject to the construction of the North East Pipeline,
with an expected capacity of 20 mmcm/d. The agreed upon price was approximately U.S.$6.16/mmBtu in December 2009, and is periodically adjusted according to a formula based upon a basket of fuels. In the past, the increased cost of the natural gas
purchased pursuant to the Framework Agreement has been absorbed by ENARSA and financed by the Argentine government with the collection of export duties on natural gas and some other charges added to domestic natural gas prices. In the context of the
Framework Agreement, on April&nbsp;25, 2007, we accepted the offer made by ENARSA for the sale to us of natural gas obtained by ENARSA from the Republic of Bolivia through December&nbsp;31, 2009. The principal terms and conditions of our agreement
with ENARSA, effective through December&nbsp;31, 2009, were as follows: (i)&nbsp;maximum contracted quantity of up to 4.4 mmcm/d; (ii)&nbsp;annual take-or-pay quantity equal to 80% of the maximum contracted quantity; (iii)&nbsp;price of
U.S.$1.9/mmBtu for the natural gas (subject to monthly adjustments), plus U.S.$0.237/mmBtu for the liquid components contained therein; (iv)&nbsp;price adjustments may be made at any time in relation to changes in the Argentine government&#146;s
compensation to ENARSA; and (v)&nbsp;limited allowed curtailments or interruptions of supply due to operative conditions and scheduled maintenance. In May 2010, we accepted the offer made by ENARSA for the sale to us of a minimum amount of 2.5
mmcm/d of natural gas obtained by ENARSA from the Republic of Bolivia through May&nbsp;1, 2011. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2008, YPF, jointly with
ENARSA, contracted a regasification ship to operate in the Bah&iacute;a Blanca Port using a ship-to-ship process for the conversion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) into its gaseous form. Once converted, the natural gas is injected into a newly built
pipeline linking to the national network. As a result, an additional supply of up to 8 mmcm/d of natural gas to the Argentine market was provided during the peak demand period. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Following the 2008 regasification season, between May&nbsp;1 and October&nbsp;31, 2009, YPF has continued providing regasification
services to ENARSA. YPF has executed a Charter Party Agreement to provide and operate a regasification vessel, which is moored at the Bah&iacute;a Blanca Port facilities. Using the vessel for the conversion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) into its
gaseous state (which allows for the supply of up to 8 additional mmcm/d of natural gas), a volume of approximately 780 mmcm of natural gas has been injected into the pipeline linking to the national network, most of which was supplied during the
peak demand period. The contractual regasification period (originally ending at the end of October 2009) has been extended pursuant to an Extension Agreement entered into by YPF and ENARSA (at the request of ENARSA) to secure the supply of natural
gas to the domestic market over the time period starting on November&nbsp;1, 2009 and ending on April&nbsp;30, 2010. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In

considered that the Mont Belvieu quotation had departed from other quotations and become more expensive and, therefore, alleged that such variation in the quotations was a case of hardship. Mega did not agree with that request and, pursuant to the
terms of the LPG Contract, the parties appointed an expert, Purvin&nbsp;&amp; Gertz, whose final report was issued in 2006 concluding that it was not a case of hardship. In 2008, Petrobras brought an arbitration claim before the International Court
of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce against Mega regarding this matter, requesting compensation of U.S.$91 million and the amendment of the LPG Contract with respect to future transactions in a way that would reduce the Mont
Belvieu quotation and transform long-term contract into a spot contract. On April&nbsp;21, 2010, we were notified that the Arbitral Tribunal has decided to dismiss all claims brought by Petrobras. Furthermore, the Arbitral Tribunal has ruled that
Petrobras shall pay costs incurred by Mega in the arbitration proceeding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Electricity market &#150; generation

operational situation of GASA. Thus the decision was made on March&nbsp;25, 2002 to suspend payment of principal and interest on its entire financial debt. From then on, Metrogas&#146; management has focused on an efficient and rational use of its
cash flow in order to be able to comply with all of the legal requirements agreed with the Argentine government with respect to its services. After negotiating a restructuring of the outstanding debt with its creditors, GASA reached and executed on
December&nbsp;7, 2005 an agreement (the Master Restructuring Agreement, or &#147;MRA&#148;) with its creditors, by which they would exchange debt for equity in GASA and/or Metrogas. After this exchange was completed, YPF Inversora Energ&eacute;tica
would hold a 31.7% stake in GASA. The MRA was presented to the Argentine National Antitrust Protection Board (<I>Comisi&oacute;n Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia</I> or &#147;CNDC&#148;) and the National Gas Regulatory Authority (<I>Ente
Nacional Regulador del Gas</I> or &#147;ENARGAS&#148;) and was subject to their approval as a condition precedent to the closing of the MRA. The MRA included a creditors&#146; option to terminate the agreement if the closing of the debt
restructuring had not occurred by December&nbsp;7, 2006. The MRA obtained ENARGAS&#146; approval but the CNDC&#146;s approval was pending. On May&nbsp;15, 2008, certain holders of the bonds communicated to YPF Inversora Energ&eacute;tica that they
were terminating the MRA. After the termination of the MRA, three different entities claiming to be holders of GASA bonds commenced four different judicial proceedings against GASA aiming to collect a total of U.S.$46 million, including interest and
fees, and one of them, Coolbrand LLC, started a separate proceeding (&#147;<I>Coolbrand c/Gasa s/acci&oacute;n subrogatoria</I>&#148;). On May&nbsp;11, 2009, GASA was notified of a bankruptcy petition brought by Continental Energy Investment LLC. On
May&nbsp;19, 2009, GASA filed a voluntary reorganization petition (&#147;<I>concurso preventivo</I>&#148;), which was approved on June&nbsp;8, 2009. On June&nbsp;12, 2009, an official receiver was nominated. The period to verify credits ended on
October&nbsp;7, 2009, and on October&nbsp;22, 2009, GASA filed its comments to such presentations. On November&nbsp;19, 2009, the official receiver issued its report advising that the credits should be admitted. On February&nbsp;10, 2010 the judge
declared all the credits verified but for one presented by one of GASA&#146;s advisors. GASA now has an exclusivity period to negotiate with the verified creditors. On March&nbsp;12, 2010, GASA filed motions for review (&#147;<I>incidentes de
revisi&oacute;n</I>&#148;) of credits verified by Coolbrand LLC, Amanda Venture, Latam Energy and Continental Energy. The filing of these motions does not suspend the voluntary reorganization petition. The judge has established August&nbsp;10, 2010
as the date to formally present GASA&#146;s proposal to the creditors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

financial debt and align its future financial commitments to the expected generation of funds. The main objective of the restructuring process was to modify certain terms and conditions included in its outstanding loans and negotiable agreements by

creditors representing approximately 95% of its unsecured indebtedness, which became effective in May 2006. In October 2008, Metrogas executed an interim agreement (<I>Acuerdo Transitorio</I>) with the Unit for the Renegotiation and Analysis of

markets (which decreased 37% compared with 2008). In 2009, our refinery capacity utilization was 94.9%, compared to over 100% in 2008. This was principally due to maintenance overhaul performed at our largest crude distillation unit, Topping C
(located in our La Plata refinery). In addition, union conflicts in the upstream business and in the port crude oil storage facilities resulted in crude shortages. In 2008, overall volumes of crude oil/feedstock processed decreased by 3.8% compared

isomerization unit, an FCC (Fluid Cracking Catalysts) naphtha splitter and desulfuration unit, and a lubricants complex. The refinery is located at the port in the city of La Plata, in the province of Buenos Aires, approximately 60 kilometers from
the City of Buenos Aires. In 2009, the refinery processed approximately 172,400 barrels of crude oil per calendar day. The capacity utilization rate at the La Plata refinery for 2009 was 91.2%, 9.2% lower than in 2008. In 2008, the refinery
processed approximately 192,600 barrels of crude oil per calendar day. The capacity utilization rate at the La Plata refinery for 2008 was 0.1% higher than in 2007. The crude oil processed at the La Plata refinery comes mainly from our own
production in the Neuquina and Golfo San Jorge basins. Crude oil supplies for the La Plata refinery are transported from the Neuquina basin by pipeline and from the Golfo San Jorge basin by vessel, in each case to Puerto Rosales, and then by
pipeline from Puerto Rosales to the refinery. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In October 2009, we commenced developing a detailed engineering project for a

an isomerization unit, an alkylation unit, a naphtha splitter, and hydrocracking and hydrotreating units. In 2009, the refinery processed approximately 107,500 barrels of crude oil per calendar day. In 2009, the capacity utilization rate was 3.3%
higher than in 2008, reaching a rate of 101.9%. In 2008, the capacity utilization rate was 2.4% lower than in 2007, due to maintenance overhauls. Because of its location in the western province of Mendoza and its proximity to significant
distribution terminals owned by us, the Luj&aacute;n de Cuyo refinery has become the primary facility responsible for providing the central provinces of Argentina with petroleum products for domestic consumption. The Luj&aacute;n de Cuyo refinery
receives crude supplies from the Neuquina and Cuyana basins by pipeline directly into the facility. Approximately 83.0% of the crude oil processed at the Luj&aacute;n de Cuyo refinery in 2009 was produced by us. Most of the crude oil purchased from

the capacity utilization rate was 15.4% lower than in 2008, reaching a rate of 93.6%. In 2008, the refinery processed approximately 27,600 barrels of crude oil per calendar day. In 2008, the capacity utilization rate was 1.6% higher than in 2007.
The only products currently produced commercially at the refinery are gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, which are sold primarily in nearby areas and in the southern regions of Argentina. Heavier products, to the extent production exceeds local
demand, are blended with crude oil and transported by pipeline from the refinery to La Plata refinery for further processing. The Plaza Huincul refinery receives its crude supplies from the Neuquina basin by pipeline. Crude oil processed at the
Plaza Huincul refinery is mostly produced by us. In 2009, 26% of the refinery&#146;s crude supplies were purchased from third parties. </FONT></P>

has been implementing regulations that require our operations to meet stricter environmental standards that are comparable in many respects to those in effect in the United States and in countries within the European Community. These regulations
establish the general framework for environmental protection requirements, including the establishment of fines and criminal penalties for their violation. We have undertaken measures to achieve compliance with these standards and are undertaking
various abatement and remediation projects, the more significant of which are discussed below. We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulation will be enacted in the future or how existing or future laws will be administered or
enforced. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, could require additional expenditures in the future by us, including for the installation and operation of systems

oil and gas industry has been and continues to be subject to certain policies and regulations that have resulted in domestic prices that are, in some cases, substantially lower than prevailing international market prices, export restrictions,
domestic supply requirements that oblige us from time to time to divert supplies from the export or industrial markets in order to meet domestic consumer demand, and increasingly heavy export duties on the volumes of hydrocarbons allowed to be
exported. These governmental pricing limitations, export controls and tax policies have been implemented in an effort to satisfy increasing domestic market demand at prices below international market prices. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Argentine oil and gas industry is regulated by Law No.&nbsp;17,319, referred to as the &#147;Hydrocarbons Law,&#148; which was
adopted in 1967 and amended by Law No.&nbsp;26,197 in 2007, which established the general legal framework for the exploration and production of oil and gas, and Law No.&nbsp;24,076, referred to as the &#147;Natural Gas Law,&#148; enacted in 1992,
which established the basis for deregulation of natural gas transportation and distribution industries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The executive branch
of the Argentine government issues the regulations to complement these laws. The regulatory framework of the Hydrocarbons Law was established on the assumption that the reservoirs of hydrocarbons would be national properties and Yacimientos
Petrol&iacute;feros Fiscales Sociedad del Estado, our predecessor, would lead the oil and gas industry and operate under a different framework than private companies. In 1992, Law No.&nbsp;24,145, referred to as the &#147;Privatization Law,&#148;
privatized YPF and provided for transfer of hydrocarbon reservoirs from the Argentine government to the provinces, subject to the existing rights of the holders of exploration permits and production concessions. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Privatization Law granted us 24 exploration permits covering approximately 132,735 square kilometers and 50 production concessions
covering approximately 32,560 square kilometers. The Hydrocarbons Law limits to five the number of concessions that may be held by any one entity, and also limits the total area of exploration permits that may be granted to a single entity. Based on
our interpretation of the law, we were exempted from such limit with regard to the exploration permits and production concessions awarded to us by the Privatization Law. Nevertheless, the National Department of Economy of Hydrocarbons
(<I>Direcci&oacute;n Nacional de Econom&iacute;a de los Hidrocarburos</I>), applying a restrictive interpretation of Section&nbsp;25 and 34 of the Hydrocarbons Law, has objected to the award of new exploration permits and production concessions in
which we have a 100% interest. As a result, our ability to acquire 100% of new exploration permits and/or production concessions has been hindered, although this interpretation has not impeded our ability to acquire any permits or concessions where
an interest is also granted to other parties. As a consequence of the transfer of ownership of certain hydrocarbons areas to the provinces, we participate in competitive bidding rounds organized since the year 2000 by several provincial governments
for the award of contracts for the exploration of hydrocarbons. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In October 2004, the Argentine Congress enacted Law

where production occurs. A 12% royalty, and an additional 3% royalty in certain concessions for which the expiration has been extended (see &#147;&#151;Extension of Exploitation Concessions in the province of Neuqu&eacute;n&#148; below), is payable
on the value at the wellhead (equal to the price upon delivery of the product, less transportation, treatment costs and other deductions) of crude oil production and the natural gas volumes commercialized. The value is calculated based upon the
volume and the sale price of the crude oil and gas produced, less the costs of transportation and storage. In addition, pursuant to Resolution S.E. 435/2004 issued by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy, if a concession holder allots crude oil
production for further industrialization processes at its plants, the concession holder is required to agree with the provincial authorities or the Argentine Secretariat of Energy, as applicable, on the reference price to be used for purposes of
calculating royalties. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Considering, among other things, that as a result of Resolution 394/2007 of the Ministry of Economy

Undersecretariat of Fuels, which depends on the Argentine Secretariat of Energy, passed Disposition No.&nbsp;1, which sets a minimum reference price for the calculation of royalties and does not permit downward adjustments of this price based upon
the quality of crude oil. As of the date of this annual report, we have negotiated with certain third parties sale prices of crude oil that we have used as the basis for calculating and paying royalties according to the methodology set forth in the
Hydrocarbons Law. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to the above, the Public Emergency Law, which created the export withholdings, established that
export withholdings were not to be deducted from the export price for purposes of calculating the 12% royalties. The royalty expense incurred in Argentina is accounted for as a production cost (as explained in &#147;&#151;Exploration and
Production&#151;Oil and gas production, production prices and production costs&#148;). According to the Hydrocarbons Law, any oil and gas produced by the holder of an exploration permit prior to the grant of a production concession is subject to the

period (Permanent Additional Supply), which volumes of natural gas are also not committed by the exporting producers. Based on the provisions of Rule No.&nbsp;27/04, Resolution S.E. No.&nbsp;659/04 and Resolution S.E. No.&nbsp;752/05, the Argentine
Secretariat of Energy and/or the Undersecretariat of Fuels have instructed us to re direct natural gas export volumes to the internal market, thereby affecting natural gas export commitments. We have challenged the validity of the aforementioned

will be requested from the producers that export gas and that inject the natural gas from the basins that are able to supply those unsatisfied irrevocable offers. Resolution of the Argentine Secretariat of Energy S.E. No.&nbsp;1886/2006, published
on January&nbsp;4, 2007, extended the term of effectiveness of this mechanism of standardized irrevocable offers until 2016, and empowered the Undersecretariat of Fuels to suspend its effectiveness subject to the satisfaction of internal demand of

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2002, the Argentine government began to impose customs duties on the export of hydrocarbons. Export tax rates were increased on crude
oil to 20%, on butane, methane and LPG to 20% and gasoline and diesel fuel to 5%. In May 2004, Resolution No.&nbsp;337/04 of the Ministry of Economy and Production increased export duties on crude oil to 25%. These export tax rates were increased
again in 2004, when the Ministry of Economy and Production issued Resolution No.&nbsp;532/04, establishing a progressive scheme of export duties for crude oil, with rates ranging from 25% to 45%, depending on the quotation of the WTI reference price
at the time of the exportation. In addition, in May 2004, pursuant to Resolution No.&nbsp;645/04 of the Ministry of Economy and Production, an export duty on natural gas and natural gas liquids was established at a rate of 20%. The export duty on
natural gas was increased again in July 2006, when the Ministry of Economy and Production increased the rate to 45% and instructed the Customs General Administration to apply the price fixed by the Framework Agreement between Argentina and Bolivia
as the base price to which to apply the new tax rate, irrespective of the actual sales price. In addition, on October&nbsp;10, 2006, the Ministry of Economy and Production imposed prevalent export duties on exports from the Tierra del Fuego
province, which were previously exempted from taxes. Moreover, in May 2007 the Ministry of Economy and Production increased to 25% the export duty on butane, propane and LPG. There can be no assurances as to future levels of export taxes.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Resolution No.&nbsp;394/2007 of the Ministry of Economy and Production, effective as of November&nbsp;16, 2007, increased
export duties on Argentine oil exports (as defined by the regulator) on crude oil and other crude derivatives products. The new regime provides that when the WTI international price exceeds the reference price, which is fixed at U.S.$60.9/barrel,
the producer shall be allowed to collect at U.S.$42/barrel, with the remainder being withheld by the Argentine government as an export tax. If the WTI international price is under the reference price but over U.S.$45/barrel, a 45% withholding rate
will apply. If such price is under U.S.$45/barrel, the applicable export tax is to be determined by the Argentine government within a term of 90 business days. Resolution No.&nbsp;127/2008 of the Ministry of Economy and Production increased export
duties applicable to natural gas exports from 45% to 100%, mandating a valuation basis for the calculation of the duty as the highest price established in any contract of any Argentine importer for the import of gas (abandoning the previously
applicable reference price set by the Framework Agreement between Argentina and Bolivia mentioned above). Resolution No.&nbsp;127/2008 provides with respect to LPG products (including butane, propane and blends thereof) that if the international
price of the relevant LPG product, as notified daily by the Argentine Secretariat of Energy, is under the reference price established for such product in the Resolution (U.S.$338/m3 for propane, U.S.$393/m3 for butane and U.S.$363/m3 for blends of
the two), the applicable export duty for such product will be 45%. If the international price exceeds the reference price, the producer shall be allowed to collect the maximum amount established by the Resolution for the relevant product
(U.S.$233/m3 for propane, U.S.$271/m3 for butane and U.S.$250/m3 for blends of the two), with the remainder being withheld by the Argentine government as an export tax. </FONT></P>

positions across the domestic upstream and downstream segments. Our upstream operations consist of the exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Our downstream operations include the refining,
marketing, transportation and distribution of oil and a wide range of petroleum products, petroleum derivatives, petrochemicals, LPG and bio-fuels. Additionally, we are active in the gas separation and natural gas distribution sectors both directly
and through our investments in several affiliated companies. In 2009, we had consolidated net sales of Ps.34,320 million (U.S.$9,032 million) and consolidated net income of Ps.3,486 million (U.S.$917 million). </FONT></P>

previously been owned by the Argentine government. As a result of that offering and other transactions, the Argentine government&#146;s ownership interest in our capital stock was reduced from 100% to approximately 20% by the end of 1993.

from U.S. GAAP. Notes 13, 14 and 15 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements provide a summary of the effect of these significant differences on net income and shareholders&#146; equity under Argentine GAAP and U.S. GAAP. </FONT></P>

required to record the effects of inflation in our financial statements. However, because Argentina experienced a high rate of inflation in 2002, with the wholesale price index increasing by approximately 118%, we were required by Decree
No.&nbsp;1269/2002 and CNV Resolution No.&nbsp;415/2002 to remeasure our financial statements in constant pesos in accordance with Argentine GAAP. On March&nbsp;25, 2003, Decree No.&nbsp;664/2003 rescinded the requirement that financial statements
be prepared in constant currency, effective for financial periods on or after March&nbsp;1, 2003. According to the Argentine statistics and census agency (<I>Instituto Nacional de Estad&iacute;sticas y Censos</I>, or &#147;INDEC&#148;), the
wholesale price index increased 10.6% in 2005, 7.1% in 2006, 14.4% in 2007, 8.8% in 2008 and 10.0% in 2009. We cannot assure you that in the future we will not be again required to record the effects of inflation in our financial statements
(including those covered by the financial statements included in this annual report) in constant pesos. See &#147;&#151;Critical Accounting Policies&#151;U.S. GAAP reconciliation&#148; for an explanation of how the effect of inflation is treated
under U.S. GAAP. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, certain oil and gas disclosures are included in this annual report under the heading

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Until 2008, our margins and our consolidated operating profits have trended downwards. This
was principally the result of: production declines and increased asset depreciation, principally due to the increasing maturity of our oil and gas fields; increases in other operating costs, due in part to higher domestic demand and local market
supply obligations (which required us to purchase certain hydrocarbon inputs from third parties); inflation and higher labor costs; and limitations on our ability to offset those increased costs due to, among other things, domestic limitations on
the prices at which we could sell gas and refined products. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our operating income in 2009 increased by 5.0% compared with
2008, mainly as a result of higher average sales prices and benefits related to the Petroleum Plus Program (see &#147;&#151;Policy and regulatory developments in Argentina&#148; below) due to our fulfillment of the requirements set forth by that
program. The impact of higher sales prices and benefits of the Petroleum Plus Program were mostly offset by: increased depreciation of fixed assets as a result of increased assets subject to depreciation (principally exploration and production
assets that entered into production and the acceleration of depreciation resulting from the decline in our proved reserves), a decline in production and higher costs mainly as a result of inflation. Notwithstanding the improvement in trend in 2009,
we cannot guarantee that such improved trend in our margins and operating income will continue in future periods. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our
operating income in 2008 increased slightly by 0.1% compared with 2007, mainly as a result of higher average sales prices (despite decreases in average sales prices of certain products towards the end of the year). The impact of higher sales prices
was mostly offset by: our continuing decline in production, increased export taxes, increased depreciation of fixed assets as a result of increased assets subject to depreciation (principally exploration and production assets that entered into
production and the acceleration of depreciation resulting from the decline in our proved reserves), and higher costs as a result of the renegotiation of certain service contracts and inflation adjustments. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Argentine economy has experienced significant volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or negative growth and
high variable levels of inflation. Inflation reached its peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Due to inflationary pressures prior to the 1990s, the Argentine currency was devalued repeatedly and macroeconomic instability led to broad fluctuations
in the real exchange rate of the Argentine currency relative to the U.S. dollar. To address these pressures, past Argentine governments implemented various plans and utilized a number of exchange rate systems. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With the enactment of the Convertibility Law in 1991, inflation declined progressively and the Argentine economy enjoyed seven years of
growth. In the fourth quarter of 1998, adverse international financial conditions caused the Argentine economy to enter into a recession and GDP to decrease between 1999 and 2001. By the end of 2001, Argentina suffered a profound deterioration in
social and economic conditions, accompanied by high political and economic instability. The restrictions on the withdrawal of bank deposits, the imposition of exchange controls, the suspension of the payment of Argentina&#146;s public debt and the
abrogation of the peso&#146;s one-to-one peg to the dollar (with the consequent depreciation of the peso against the dollar) caused a decline in economic activity. Real GDP declined by 10.9% in 2002, annual inflation rose to 41%, the exchange rate
continued to be highly volatile, and the unemployment rate rose to more than 20%. The political and economic instability not only curtailed commercial and financial activities in Argentina but also severely restricted the country&#146;s access to
international financing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Strong economic growth in the world&#146;s developed economies and favorable raw material pricing
from 2003 through the first half of 2008 paved the way for Argentina&#146;s economic recovery. Real GDP grew at an average cumulative rate of 8.5% between 2003 and 2008. As a result of the crisis in the global economy, Argentina&#146;s GDP growth
rate decelerated sharply in 2009 (preliminary figures estimate that real GDP grew by 0.9% during 2009). However, according to the Argentine Central Bank, certain economic indicators are starting to show signs of recovery in the Argentine economy,
mainly due to a recovery in exports, as well as in stock levels in certain sectors. According to the IMF&#146;s April 2010 projections, the Argentine economy is expected to grow by 3.5% in 2010. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">According to the IMF, the global economy is beginning to pull out of the recession, owing mainly to cuts in interest rates by central
banks, continued provision of ample liquidity, credit easing, public guarantees, and bank recapitalization. Nonetheless, the pace of recovery is expected to be slow. Several forces are holding back the recovery in Europe. Sizable fiscal and current
account imbalances are constraining recovery in several euro area countries, with potentially negative spillover effects to the rest of Europe. </FONT></P>

In 2010, global economic growth is projected to recover to 3.1%, although the rate of growth or, in some cases, contraction, is expected to vary significantly from region to region. The main
policy priority remains restoring financial sector health, since bank lending conditions are expected to remain tight and external financing conditions constrained for a considerable time. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Weakened global demand since the second half of 2008 has depressed commodity prices, but in line with the signs of recovery, oil prices
have responded strongly to signs of a demand rebound in China. This is partly attributable to Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members&#146; strict observance of lower production quotas. WTI has recently traded over U.S.$79 per
barrel, compared to approximately U.S.$50 at the end of the first quarter of 2009, though it remains well below the average price of 2008 (U.S.$99.67). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In Argentina, domestic fuel prices have increased over the past two years, but have not kept pace with either increases or decreases in
international market prices for petroleum products due to the characteristics of and regulations affecting the Argentine market. Nonetheless, the gap between domestic and international prices for certain products has narrowed as a result of the
increase in domestic fuel prices as previously mentioned, and also as a result of the decline in the international prices in late 2008 and early 2009. See &#147;&#151;Differences between Argentine and international prices for hydrocarbon
products.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In 2005, Argentina successfully completed the restructuring of a substantial portion of its bond indebtedness
and canceled all of its debt with the IMF. Additionally, in June 2010, Argentina completed the renegotiation of approximately 66% of defaulted bonds that were not swapped in 2005. As a result of the 2005 and 2010 debt swaps, approximately 92.4% of
the country&#146;s bond indebtedness has now been restructured. Additionally, the Argentine government announced that it would repay the outstanding portion of the defaulted debt that was not included in the 2005 debt swap (the &#147;Paris
Club&#148; debt). The government has passed a regulation allowing the withdrawal of U.S.$6.5 billion from the Argentine Central Bank reserves to support payments to multilateral lenders and bondholders. Currently, Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s
(S&amp;P) credit rating for Argentina&#146;s sovereign debt is &#147;B-&#148;, with a &#147;stable&#148; outlook since October 2008, while Moody&#146;s, which rates Argentina&#146;s sovereign debt at &#147;B3&#148;, has maintained its credit watch
of Argentina as &#147;stable&#148; since August 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Public finances both at national and provincial levels recorded a
consolidated primary surplus of above 3% between 2004 and 2008, according to the INDEC. In 2009, government fiscal revenues performance was worse than in previous years, mainly as a consequence of a slowdown in activity levels, while public
expenditures increased, due to the implementation of anticyclical policies aimed at offsetting or reducing the contractive effects of the international crisis described above. This led to a decrease in primary surplus, which reached 1.36% in 2009,
according to the Argentine Central Bank. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The annual wholesale price index, according to the Argentine statistics and census
agency (<I>Instituto Nacional de Estad&iacute;sticas y Censos</I>, or &#147;INDEC&#148;), increased by 14.6% in 2007, 8.8% in 2008 and, based on preliminary data, 10.0% in 2009. According to reports published by the IMF, however, most private sector
analysts believe that actual inflation is considerably higher than reflected in official data. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Starting in the first half of
2008, conflicts in certain sectors of the Argentine economy, including blockades by agricultural producers in response to an export tax increase and strikes by oil workers, have affected the development and productivity of these and related sectors.
According to the Argentine Central Bank, exports decreased 21% in 2009 as a result of lower commodity prices and a decrease in the exported volumes of certain agricultural products, mainly due to declines in harvest volumes as a result of a severe
drought in parts of Argentina and reduced seeded areas. Notwithstanding the above, during the last months of 2009, exports began to recover, due both to an increase in prices and in exported volumes. During 2009, imports contracted even further than
exports (by 32%), due mainly to decreased imports of intermediate goods and capital assets commensurate with the slower pace of domestic activity. As a result, the Argentine trade balance reached an even higher surplus than in previous years. The
Argentine Central Bank expects that in 2010 the country will complete its ninth year in a row with a trade surplus, along with a strong recovery in both exports and imports. </FONT></P>

According to the Argentine Central Bank, however, the foreseen increase in activity is expected to help stem the recent growth in unemployment. In line with the slowdown in general activity,
wages increased at a slower pace than in previous years, but still outpaced price increases, resulting in higher purchasing capacity. </FONT></P>

(U.S.$48.0 billion at the end of 2009), contributing to a sustained strong external position. The exchange rate of the Argentine peso against the U.S dollar as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 was Ps.3.80/ U.S.$1.00, reflecting peso depreciation of 10.1%

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Energy consumption in Argentina has increased significantly since 2003, driven in part by price limitations that have kept Argentine
energy prices below international prices. Continued growth in demand and a particularly harsh winter in 2007 have led to fuel shortages and power outages, prompting the Argentine government to take additional measures to assure domestic supply. At
the same time, growth in the production of certain hydrocarbon products has slowed, and in the case of crude oil production has recently declined, due to Argentina&#146;s maturing oil and gas fields. As a result of this increasing demand and actions
taken by the Argentine regulatory authorities to prioritize domestic supply, exported volumes of hydrocarbon products, especially natural gas, declined steadily over this period. At the same time, Argentina has increased hydrocarbon imports.

Because we mainly have concessions for mature oil and gas fields that are undergoing natural production declines, it is difficult to replace our proved reserves from other categories of reserves. In 2009, our estimated proved oil reserves and oil
production, without considering NGL, declined by 4.9% and 5.6%, respectively, over the preceding year, while our estimated proved gas reserves and gas production declined by 13.8% and 12.2%, respectively, over the same period. In an effort to
maintain our high refinery utilization rates and because of regulatory requirements to supply certain hydrocarbon products to the domestic market, we purchased crude oil and natural gas from third parties. We expect our oil and gas proved reserves
and production rates to continue their decline. See &#147;Item 4. Information on the Company&#151;Exploration and Production&#151;Oil and Gas Reserves&#148; for more information on our proved reserves. </FONT></P>

of new technologies and to design novel strategies to rejuvenate old fields and optimize the development of new fields in Argentine basins. Many of our fields have similar characteristics to mature fields in other regions of the world that have
achieved substantially higher recovery factors through the application of new technologies, similar to the ones we are currently evaluating. Nevertheless, the financial viability of these investments and reserve recovery efforts will generally
depend on the prevailing economic and regulatory conditions in Argentina, as well as the market prices of hydrocarbon products. </FONT></P>

natural gas and diesel from third parties; higher labor costs; higher costs related to the renegotiation of certain service contracts; and inflation. Due to prevailing Argentine price limitations, we were unable to pass some of these cost increases

However, sales of natural gas are still typically much higher in the winter to the residential sector of the Argentine domestic market, the prices for which are significantly lower than other sectors of the Argentine market. </FONT></P>

associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement cost. The standard applies to the legal obligation associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that results from the acquisition, construction,
development and normal use of the asset. ASC 410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset
retirement obligations liability is built up in cash flow layers, with each layer being discounted using the discount rate as of the date that the layer was created. Remeasurement of the entire obligation using current discount rates is not
permitted. Each cash flow layer is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is then depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is increased due to the passage of time based on the time value of

market due to lower demand during 2009 as a result of the economic slowdown. Commodity prices in general were strongly affected in 2009, and the average price per barrel of WTI decreased by
approximately 38% compared to 2008. As a result, the price of certain products sold in the domestic market, which track international prices (such as LPG, aviation fuel, and certain petrochemicals), also decreased. See &#147;&#151;Results of
operations by business segment for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2009, 2008 and 2007&#151;Refining and Marketing&#148;. In addition, demand for fertilizers in the domestic market decreased, particularly in the first half of 2009. These decreases
were mostly offset by increases in the average domestic prices of diesel and gasoline, the higher volume of gasoline sold in the domestic market and income recorded under the Petroleum Plus Program, resulting from the efforts we have made within the
scope of the program and which allowed us to maintain our commitment towards the fulfillment of domestic demand. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net sales in
2008 were Ps.34,875 million, representing a 19.8% increase compared to Ps.29,104 million in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in the average domestic prices of diesel (24.7%)&nbsp;and gasoline (27.8%), as well as a 33%
increase in the average price of natural gas sold in the domestic market. The increase in volume of gasoline sold in the domestic market (13.5%)&nbsp;also contributed to this increase. In addition, there were significant price increases in other
products, such as jet fuel and aviation gasoline, both in the domestic and export markets. As a result, our domestic sales increased 33.5% to Ps.27,647 million in 2008 from Ps.20,704 million in 2007. These increases were partially offset by higher
export taxes attributable to the application of Resolution 394/2007, which resulted in an increase, year over year, of approximately Ps.2,470 million in export taxes applicable to petrochemical and refined products. Export net sales declined by
13.9% to Ps.7,228 million in 2008 from Ps.8,400 million in 2007, as a result of higher export taxes and declines in the exported volumes of natural gas, gasoline and crude oil (which decreased 57%, 31% and 24%, respectively), partially offset by an
increase in international gasoline and diesel prices. Our export sales in both periods were made mainly to the United States and Brazil. </FONT></P>

attributable to a decrease in the volume of products purchased from third parties, particularly diesel and fertilizers, in line with the decreased demand for these products, and crude oil. Strikes in the Southern region of Argentina in the second
quarter of 2008 adversely affected our oil production and our margins in that year as a result of the higher volume of products purchased from third parties, whereas strikes in the third quarter of 2009 had a smaller impact on our margins.

mainly attributable to a 21% increase in the volume of crude oil purchased from third parties, driven by our efforts to maintain our high refinery utilization rates notwithstanding our declining production. Increased volumes of crude oil purchases
from third parties adversely affect our margins because we lose the margin earned on our internal exploration and production activities. In addition, depreciation of fixed assets increased 15.4%, mainly as a result of increased asset values
attributable to (i)&nbsp;increased assets (principally related to our Exploration and Production business segment) subject to depreciation in 2008, and (ii)&nbsp;higher capitalized well abandonment obligations during the first semester of 2008,
according to the new estimates performed as of that time based on new information concerning future costs associated with those activities, which began to be depreciated in the second half of 2008 based on the unit of production method. Salaries and
social security taxes, maintenance costs, contract services and certain other production costs also increased significantly, driven mainly by inflation and the renegotiation of certain labor and service contracts. </FONT></P>

of our new low-sulfur diesel (Euro Diesel), preservation, repair and maintenance and, to a lesser extent, rental of real estate and equipment. </FONT></P>

due to higher interest expense from loans attributable to our increased indebtedness and a slight decline in the value of our inventories in 2009 (whereas the value of our inventories increased in 2008). In addition, we suffered from higher net
negative exchange rate differences resulting from the depreciation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar, as our outstanding liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars exceed our assets denominated in U.S. dollars. </FONT></P>

results from YPF Holdings, which did not give rise to a tax credit or deduction under Argentine law because YPF Holdings is a foreign company. In addition, the deferred tax assets generated by YPF Holdings&#146; losses have been fully provisioned
because there is no expectation that YPF Holdings will be able to make use of any such tax benefits in future periods. The non-deductibility of the amortization of the effect of inflation indexation on fixed assets, which is not deductible from
income tax under prevailing Argentine tax legislation, also contributed to our higher effective tax rates. See Note 3(j) to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. </FONT></P>

Intersegment net sales (substantially all of which relate to intersegment sales of crude oil) increased by Ps.1,810 million in 2009, mainly as a result of a 19% increase in the average intersegment price in pesos of a barrel of oil (1% increase in
U.S. dollars), which was partially offset by a 1.7% decrease in the volumes transferred. Net sales in 2009 were also strengthened by the income recorded pursuant to the Petroleum Plus Program and a 7.0% increase in the domestic price of natural gas
mainly attributable to price increases for gas sold to industrial customers and thermal power plants in the domestic market during 2009, which were partially offset by a decrease in the price of natural gas sold to our jointly controlled company,
Mega, which is set according to international parameters and therefore decreased in line with the WTI price. Natural gas exported volumes remained low in 2009 due to the restrictions we are subject to. Export taxes remained relatively stable in 2009
compared with 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Exploration and Production operating income increased 62% to Ps.5,379 million in 2009 from Ps.3,315
million in 2008, as a result of the increase in inter-segment crude oil prices, and the income recorded pursuant to the Petroleum Plus Program, as explained above. This was partially offset by a 2.1% increase in segment operating expenses, which was
mainly due to increases in the prices of service contracts resulting from general costs increase, and an increase in royalties paid by Ps.121 million, due to the higher value, expressed in pesos at the wellhead (used as the basis for calculation of
such royalties), of hydrocarbons produced (mainly as a result of the 10.1% peso depreciation against the U.S. dollar compared to December&nbsp;31, 2008). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Average oil production during 2009 decreased 3.5% to 302&nbsp;thousand barrels per day from 313&nbsp;thousand barrels per day in 2008.
Natural gas production in 2009 decreased 11.9% to 1,470 mmcf/d from 1,658 mmcf/d in 2008. These declines were mainly attributable to the natural decline in the production curve resulting from the continuing overall maturity of our fields, and the
decline in natural gas demand from industrial customers and thermal power plants. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Exploration and Production net sales in
2008 were Ps.17,618 million, representing a 2.5% decrease from Ps.18,068 million in 2007. Intersegment sales to Refining and Marketing, substantially all of which were crude oil sales, decreased Ps.1,393 million in 2008. This variation was due to a
6.3% decrease in the volume of crude oil sales that resulted mainly from a decline in our production attributable to the strikes that affected our operations in the Southern region of Argentina, and the increasing maturity of our fields, as well as
a 6% decrease in intersegment oil prices in 2008 compared to 2007. This decrease in intersegment oil prices was due to our consideration of the effect of Resolution 394/2007, which among other things, established certain reference prices for crude
oil. These effects were partially offset by a 33.3% increase in the average price of natural gas sold in the domestic market, due mainly to increases in the price of natural gas sold to industrial customers and thermal power plants, during 2008.

the above-mentioned decline in crude oil sales volumes and to higher operating expenses. Segment operating expenses increased 15.4% </FONT></P>

due to significant increases in contract works and services, driven mainly by cost increases in service contracts due to inflation and the high oil prices that prevailed during a significant part
of the year. Additionally, we recorded a Ps.495 million, or 13.7%, increase in depreciation of fixed assets mainly due to the increase in assets subject to depreciation resulting mainly from higher capital expenditures, as well as increased well

decrease was mainly attributable to the sharp decreases in international prices for substantially all of our exported refined products, a decrease in the volumes of gasoline sold by us in the export market (11.7%), and a decline in the volumes of
diesel sold in the domestic market (6.7%). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average domestic prices of diesel and gasoline (of 17.7% and 23.6%, respectively), as well as a 10.7% increase in the volume of gasoline sold
domestically. Notwithstanding the increase in the average domestic prices of diesel and gasoline, domestic prices for our products remained below average international prices. In addition, the domestic prices of certain refined products that tend to
track international prices, such as aviation fuel and LPG, decreased in 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Refining and Marketing operating profit
decreased 38.6% to Ps.1,896 million in 2009 from Ps.3,089 million in 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the aforementioned decline in international prices. In addition, purchases of crude oil, which account for approximately 90% of the
segment&#146;s operating costs, were made at a price which was on average 19% higher in Argentine pesos than the previous year (although it was less than 1% higher when measured in U.S. dollars). Further, refining costs (excluding crude oil purchase
and transport costs) increased by approximately 17%, mainly due to the higher costs of energy and increases in operation services and service contract costs, as well as higher depreciation costs arising from an increase in assets that commenced
operations. Refining cost per barrel, which we calculate as the segment&#146;s production costs for the period less crude oil purchase costs, divided by the number of barrels produced during the period, was Ps.14.8 in 2009, compared to Ps.12.7 in

Ps.28,017 million, 15.4% higher than the Ps.24,278 million in net sales recorded in 2007. This increase was mainly attributable to increases in average prices of diesel and gasoline sold in the domestic market (24.7% and 27.8%, respectively), the
segment&#146;s two principal products, as well as a 13.5% increase in the volume of gasoline sold in the domestic market. Notwithstanding the aforementioned increases, average prices of domestic sales remained lower than international prices. Diesel
volumes sold in the domestic market decreased slightly (0.8%). Our increased domestic sales were partially offset by lower volumes of exported gasoline (which decreased by 30.9%). </FONT></P>

the above-mentioned increase in the domestic price of diesel and increases in domestic prices and volumes of gasoline sales. A 6% decrease in the average price paid for crude oil to our Exploration and Production business segment was the result of
considering the effect of Resolution 394/2007, which established certain reference prices for crude oil, in calculating our intersegment oil prices. Purchases of crude oil accounted for approximately 90% of the segment&#146;s operating costs. In
addition there was a 17% increase in refining costs (excluding crude oil purchase and transport costs), mainly due to higher contract service costs as a result of the renegotiation of certain service contracts and inflation adjustments, as well as
the increase of crude oil purchases from third parties driven by our efforts to maintain our high refinery utilization rates. The price of crude oil purchased from third parties was higher than our intersegment

price principally due to the generally higher quality of the crude oil purchased, compared to the crude oil basket considered in setting our internal transfer price. Additionally, the
segment&#146;s operating profit was affected by the implementation in November 2007 of a new regime for withholding rates on exports, which significantly decreased our margins on the export sales of many hydrocarbon products. Refining cost per
barrel, which we calculate as the segment&#146;s cost of sales for the period less crude oil purchase costs, divided by the number of barrels produced during the period, was Ps.12.7 in 2008, compared to Ps.10.7 in 2007. </FONT></P>

mainly to lower sales prices in the domestic market, particularly with respect to methanol and fertilizers, and declines in the average prices of exported products (in line with lower international market prices for hydrocarbon products during 2009
compared to 2008) and, to a lesser extent, lower exported volumes of methanol. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net sales in 2008 increased by 13.5% to
Ps.3,923 million from Ps.3,455 million in 2007. The increase in net sales was attributable mainly to an increase in the domestic prices of petrochemicals, particularly fertilizers. Export sales decreased in 2008, as higher average export prices for
petrochemicals, which increased by 12%, were offset by a 23% decrease in exported volumes. Additionally, increased export taxes resulting from the application of the new withholding tax regime for exports that came into effect in November 2007
resulted in a Ps.270 million increase in export taxes, which are deducted from our gross sales, in 2008 compared to 2007. Operating income in 2008 increased 135.6% to Ps.1,178 million from Ps.500 million in 2007. The increase in operating income was
attributable to better margins obtained from our aromatics, as well as to the higher results of Profertil, due mainly to higher production of urea and other fertilizers and to the higher prices of such products in the domestic and export markets.

YPF restructured its internal organization and significantly reduced the number of its employees. YPF reduced its work force from over 51,000 employees (including approximately 15,000 personnel under contract) at December&nbsp;31, 1990 to
approximately 7,500 at December&nbsp;31, 1993. YPF paid to the employees affected by these reductions the termination payments required under Argentine labor laws which amounted to Ps.686 million. A substantial majority of lawsuits which were
originated as a consequence of said restructuring process have been brought by former employees who allege that they received insufficient severance payments in connection with their dismissal and various job-related illnesses, injuries, typically
seeking unspecified relief. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of December&nbsp;31, 2009, YPF was a party in approximately 1,681 labor lawsuits which relate
to events or acts that took place after December&nbsp;31, 1990. The outcome of said lawsuits depends on factual issues that vary from case to case, and it is not always feasible to predict the outcome of particular cases. However, based on the
number and character of the lawsuits already commenced, the estimated likelihood of additional claims in view of the number of dismissed employees, applicable statutes of limitations, the legal principles involved in the suits and the financial
statement reserves previously established, our management does not expect the outcome of these lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or future results of operations. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Maxus (a YPF subsidiary) has a number of trustee noncontributory pension plans covering substantially all its full-time employees. The
benefits provided by these plans are based on the number of years of employment and the compensation earned during those years. This company has other noncontributory pension plans for executive officers, selected key employees and former employees
of the Maxus group. The Maxus Energy Corporation career average pension plan was frozen effective March&nbsp;1, 2007. The Maxus Energy Corporation savings plan was amended effective March&nbsp;1, 2007 to include a non-elective component, through
which the plan&#146;s sponsor contributes 7.5% of the employees&#146; annual base salary. Maxus also grants benefits for health care, life insurance and other social benefits to some of its employees who retire early. The amounts payable accrue over
the employees&#146; years of service. During March 2008, YPF Holdings purchased a group annuity contract from an insurance company to settle the liability associated with the benefits under certain of Maxus&#146; defined benefits plans, with a
one-time premium payment of U.S.$115 million. The assumption by the insurance company of liability under the plans was effective on March&nbsp;20, 2008, the date the premium was paid by YPF Holdings. </FONT></P>

due to the existence of different prices between the exports of LPG and the sales to the domestic market from 1993 through 1997. In July 2002, the Argentine Supreme Court confirmed the fine, and we made the claimed payment. Additionally, Resolution

applicable to the proceeding is Law No.&nbsp;22,262 instead of the new Antitrust Protection Law (No. 25,156). We filed appeals with the National Economic Criminal Court: (i)&nbsp;on July&nbsp;29, 2003, in view of the rejection by the CNDC of the

appeal filed by us on the grounds of lack of majority of the CNDC in passing the objected resolution. On August&nbsp;31, 2004, we appealed the resolution passed by the CNDC that rejected our
statute of limitations defense. The CNDC accepted the appeal and referred the proceedings to Chamber II of the National Court of Appeals in Federal Civil and Commercial Matters, which subsequently referred the proceeding to Chamber B of the National
Court of Appeals in Criminal Economic Matters. On March&nbsp;3, 2006, the CNDC decided on the evidence that we shall produce during this proceeding. During August and September 2007, hearings involving the testimony of witnesses proposed by us took
place. On August&nbsp;12, 2008, Chamber B of the National Court of Appeals in Criminal Economic Matters rejected our statute of limitations argument. We have appealed this decision. Upon Chamber B&#146;s confirmation of the CNDC&#146;s resolution,
YPF filed a cassation and an extraordinary appeal on the basis that the CNDC bases its arguments on Law No.&nbsp;22,262, while Chamber B relies on the application of Law No.&nbsp;25,156. Chamber B of the National Court of Appeals in Criminal
Economic Matters rejected both appeals. YPF has consequently presented two complaint appeals: one against the rejection of the cassation appeal (rejected on December&nbsp;18, 2008) and another against the rejection of the extraordinary appeal
(rejected on February&nbsp;17, 2009). Both appeals are under evaluation. Regarding the administrative proceedings before the CNDC, the evidence production period has ended. Additionally, on November&nbsp;25, 2009, we presented our closing statement.
On December&nbsp;22, 2009, Chamber IV of the Court of Cassation rejected our cassation appeal against Chamber B of the National Court of Appeals in Criminal Economic Matters&#146; decision. The extraordinary appeal is still pending before the
Supreme Court. Furthermore, on December&nbsp;21, 2009, YPF filed another claim concerning the statute of limitations before the CNDC. On April&nbsp;19, 2010 the CNDC rejected this claim and YPF appealed such decision. </FONT></P>

certain quantities of natural gas to the Argentine domestic market, in each case notwithstanding the lack of a contractual commitment on our part to do so. In addition, the Argentine government has, at various times since 2004, imposed direct volume
limitations on natural gas exports in different ways. As a result of these measures, from 2004 to the present, we have been forced in many instances to partially or fully suspend natural gas export deliveries that are contemplated by our contracts

(&#147;ICC&#148;) against Endesa Internacional S.A. and YPF. EDF sought a payment of U.S.$69 million from YPF, which was subsequently increased to U.S.$103 million plus interests, based on dubious reasons, in connection with the sale of Electricidad

a declaratory judgment action (<I>Acci&oacute;n Declarativa de Certeza</I>) before an Argentine federal court requesting clarification as to the uncertainty generated by opinions and statements of several organizations providing official advice that
the right of the hydrocarbon industry to freely dispose of up to 70% of foreign currency proceeds from exports of hydrocarbons products and byproducts, as provided by Executive Decree No.&nbsp;1,589/89, had been implicitly abolished by the new
exchange regime established by Executive Decree No.&nbsp;1,606/01. On December&nbsp;9, 2002, a federal judge issued an injunction ordering the Argentine government, the Central Bank and the Ministry of the Economy to refrain from interfering with
our access to and use of 70% of the foreign exchange proceeds from our hydrocarbon exports. Following the enactment of Decree No.&nbsp;2,703/02 in December 2002, we expanded the scope of the declaratory judgment action before the federal court to
clear any doubts and uncertainty arising after the enactment of this decree. See &#147;Item 4. Information on the Company&#151;Regulatory Framework and Relationship with the Argentine Government&#151;Repatriation of Foreign Currency&#148;. On
December&nbsp;1, 2003, the National Administrative Court of Appeals decided that the issuance of Decree No.&nbsp;2,703/02, which allows companies in the oil and gas sector to keep abroad up to 70% of the export proceeds, rendered the injunction
unnecessary. Nevertheless, the Court of Appeals&#146; decision was silent with respect to the availability of the exemption to convert proceeds from export operations carried out by oil and gas companies into domestic currency prior to the issuance
of Decree No.&nbsp;2,703/02. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On October&nbsp;12, 2007, we were notified of the initiation of an administrative summary
proceeding for alleged late repatriation of foreign currency proceeds, and the failure to repatriate the remaining 70%, in connection with some hydrocarbon export transactions made in 2002 (during the period between the issuance of Decree
No.&nbsp;1,606/01 and the issuance of Decree No.&nbsp;2,703/02). Nevertheless, a final and unchallenged judicial judgment issued by a First Instance Court in Criminal Economic Matters in a similar administrative summary proceeding against a
different company for alleged violation of the criminal exchange law (lack of repatriation of 70% of foreign currency proceeds) regarding export transactions made in 2002 resolved the matter in favor of that company based on well-founded arguments
that were not challenged by the prosecutor. In addition, the Office of the General Prosecutor of Argentina has issued an opinion in a similar administrative summary proceeding involving another oil company stating that no criminal law violations
existed in that case due to the lack of willful misconduct and the existence of differing regulations that created uncertainty as to the scope of certain obligations, and stating that the proceeding should be dismissed. On April&nbsp;30, 2009, in
similar administrative proceedings involving another oil company, the National Administrative Court of Appeals resolved the matter in favor of that company, on the basis that the free disposal regime of up to 70% of export proceeds was in force
during 2002, upon the publication of Decree No.&nbsp;1638/01 on December&nbsp;12, 2001. Extraordinary appeals filed by the Argentine government and the Central Bank have been rejected. Consequently, YPF considers that the administrative summary

contingencies totaled approximately Ps.531 million. YPF Holdings management believes it has adequately reserved for all environmental and other contingencies that are probable and can be reasonably estimated based on information available as of such
time; however, many such contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties, including the completion of ongoing studies, the discovery of new facts, and the issuance of orders by regulatory authorities, which could result in material additions
to such reserves in the future. It is possible that additional claims will be made, and additional information about new or existing claims (such as results of ongoing investigations, the issuance of court decisions or the signing of settlement
agreements) is likely to develop over time. YPF Holdings&#146; reserves for the environmental and other contingencies described below are based solely on currently available information and as a result, YPF Holdings, Maxus and Tierra may have to
incur costs that may be material, in addition to the reserves already taken. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the following discussion concerning plant
sites and third party sites, references to YPF Holdings include, as appropriate and solely for ease of reference, references to Maxus and Tierra. As indicated above, Tierra is also a subsidiary of YPF Holdings and has assumed certain of Maxus&#146;
obligations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Newark, New Jersey</I>. A consent decree, previously agreed upon by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(the &#147;EPA&#148;), the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (the &#147;DEP&#148;) and Occidental, as successor to Chemicals, was entered in 1990 by the United States District Court of New Jersey for Chemicals&#146; former Newark,
New Jersey agricultural chemicals plant. The approved interim remedy has been completed and paid for by Tierra pursuant to the above described indemnification agreement with Occidental. Operations and maintenance of the constructed remedy are
ongoing, and as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, YPF Holdings has reserved approximately Ps.53 million in connection with such activities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Passaic River/Newark Bay, New Jersey</I>. Maxus, acting on behalf of Occidental, negotiated an agreement with the EPA under which
Tierra has conducted further testing and studies to characterize contaminated sediment and biota in a six-mile portion of the Passaic River near the Newark, New Jersey plant site described above. While some work remains, these studies were
substantially completed in 2005. In addition, the EPA and other agencies are addressing the lower 17-mile portion of the Passaic River (including the six-mile portion already studied) in a joint federal, state, local and private sector cooperative
effort designated as the Lower Passaic River Restoration Project (&#147;PRRP&#148;). Tierra, along with certain other entities, has agreed to participate in and fund a remedial investigation and feasibility study (&#147;RIFS&#148;) in connection
with the PRRP. The parties are discussing the possibility of further work with the EPA. The entities that have agreed to fund the RIFS have negotiated allocations of RIFS costs among themselves based on a number of considerations. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Tierra, acting on behalf of Occidental, is also performing and funding a separate RIFS to characterize sediment contamination and
evaluate remedial alternatives in Newark Bay and portions of the Hackensack River, the Arthur Kill, and the Kill van Kull pursuant to a 2004 administrative order on consent with EPA. The EPA has issued General Notice Letters to a series of
additional parties concerning the contamination of Newark Bay. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2005, the DEP issued a directive to Tierra, Maxus
and Occidental directing said parties to pay the State of New Jersey&#146;s costs of developing a Source Control Dredge Plan focused on allegedly dioxin-contaminated sediment in the lower six-mile portion of the Passaic River described above. The
development of this Plan was estimated by the DEP to cost approximately U.S.$2.3 million. The DEP has advised the recipients that they are not required to respond to the directive until otherwise notified. Also in December 2005, the DEP and the New
Jersey Spill Compensation Fund sued YPF Holdings, Tierra, Maxus and other affiliates, as well as Occidental, in connection with dioxin contamination allegedly emanating from Chemicals&#146; former Newark plant and contaminating the lower 17-mile
portion of the Passaic River, Newark Bay, other nearby waterways and surrounding areas. The defendants have made responsive pleadings and/or filings. In March 2008, the court denied motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim by Occidental
Chemical Corporation, and by Tierra and Maxus. DEP filed its Second Amended Complaint in April 2008; YPF&#146;s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction was denied in September 2008. The decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeals
following an appeal by YPF. The Court denied the plaintiffs&#146; motion to bar third party practice and allowed defendants to file third-party claims. Third-party claims against approximately 300 companies and governmental entities (including
certain municipalities) which could have responsibility in connection with the claim were filed by Tierra and Maxus in February 2009. See &#147;&#151;Argentina&#151;New Jersey Claims.&#148; </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In June 2007, EPA released a draft Focused Feasibility Study (&#147;FFS&#148;) that outlines
several alternatives for remedial action in the lower eight miles of the Passaic River. These range from no action (which would result in comparatively little cost) to extensive dredging and capping (which according to the draft FFS, EPA estimated
could cost from U.S.$0.9 billion to U.S.$2.3 billion), and are all described by EPA as involving proven technologies that could be carried out in the near term, without extensive research. Tierra, in conjunction with the other parties of the PRRP
group, submitted comments on the draft FFS to EPA, as did a number of other interested parties. A revised remedy proposal is expected to be issued during the first quarter of 2011. Tierra plans to respond to any further EPA proposal as may be
appropriate at that time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In August 2007, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (&#147;NOAA&#148;), as one of the
Federal Natural Resources Trustees (&#147;Trustees&#148;), sent a letter to the parties of the PRRP group, including Tierra and Occidental, requesting that the group enter into an agreement to conduct a cooperative assessment of natural resources
damages in the Passaic River and Newark Bay. The PRRP group has declined the NOAA&#146;s request, citing concerns with matters such as the FFS. In January 2008, the NOAA sent a letter to us, YPF Holdings, CLH Holdings Inc. and other entities
designating each as a potentially responsible party (&#147;PRP&#148;), all of which have denied being a PRP. In November 2008, Occidental and Tierra entered into an agreement with the Trustees to fund a portion of the Trustees&#146; past costs and
conduct certain assessment activities during 2009. A group of approximately 20 other parties has also entered into a similar agreement with the Trustees. In November 2009, Tierra declined to extend this agreement for one additional year, citing
concerns arising from the Passaic River litigation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In June 2008, the EPA, Occidental, and Tierra entered into an
Administrative Order on Consent (&#147;AOC&#148;), pursuant to which Tierra (on behalf of Occidental) will undertake the removal of sediment from a portion of the Passaic River in the vicinity of Chemicals&#146; former Newark, New Jersey facility
described above. This action will result in the removal of approximately 200,000 cubic yards of sediment, which will be carried out in two phases. The field work on the first phase, which will encompass the removal of 40,000 cubic yards, is
scheduled to begin in 2010 and is expected to be completed approximately nine months later. The first phase of clean up is estimated to cost approximately U.S.$44.7 million. The second phase, which will encompass the removal of approximately 160,000
cubic yards of sediment, will be completed on a different schedule. Pursuant to the AOC, the EPA has required the provision of financial assurance in the amount of U.S.$80 million for the performance of the removal work through a trust fund. As of
the date of this report, U.S.$22 million has been contributed to the fund; an additional U.S.$10 million must be contributed every six months until a total of U.S.$80 million has been deposited into the fund. The total amount of required financial
assurance may be decreased or increased over time if the anticipated cost of completing the removal work contemplated by the AOC changes. During the removal work, certain contaminants not produced by the former Chemicals plant, such as PCBs and
mercury, will be removed along with dioxin. YPF Holdings may seek cost recovery from the parties responsible for such contamination; however, at this time it is not possible to make any predictions regarding the likelihood of success or the funds
potentially recoverable in a cost-recovery action. The removal work required pursuant to the AOC will be conducted concurrently with and in addition to the other investigations and remedial actions described above, including those undertaken in
connection with the FFS concerning the lower eight miles of the Passaic River, the RIFS addressing the lower 17-mile portion of the Passaic River, and the RIFS relating to contamination in Newark Bay, portions of the Hackensack River, the Arthur
Kill and the Kill van Kull. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of December&nbsp;31, 2009, YPF Holdings has reserved approximately Ps.248 million in
connection with the foregoing matters related to the Passaic River, the Newark Bay and the surrounding area comprising the estimated costs for studies, estimated costs in connection with the AOC, and certain other matters related to the Passaic
River and Newark Bay. However, it is possible that other works, including interim remedial measures, may be ordered. How these matters are resolved, including the development of new information, the imposition of natural resource damages or the
selection of remedial actions differing from the scenarios we have proposed could result in Maxus and Tierra incurring material costs in addition to the amount currently reserved. </FONT></P>

two other entities in state court in Hudson County seeking, among other things, cleanup of various sites where chromite ore residue is allegedly located, recovery of past costs incurred by the state at such sites (including in excess of U.S.$2.3
million dollars allegedly spent for investigations and studies) and, with respect to certain costs at 18 sites, treble damages. The DEP claims that the defendants are jointly and severally liable, without regard to fault, for much of the damages
alleged. The parties have come to an agreement regarding this matter, pursuant to which Tierra will pay U.S.$5 million, and will remediate 3 sites, at an estimated cost of U.S.$2.1 million. In addition, in 2008 the DEP approved the construction of
certain interim remedial measures relating to the Kearny Plant; work on those remedial measures has begun. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to a
request of the DEP, in the second half of 2006, Tierra and certain other parties tested the sediments in a portion of the Hackensack River near the former Kearny Plant. A report of those test results has been submitted to the DEP. The DEP has
requested additional sampling, and a work plan to conduct such sampling has been prepared and submitted to the DEP for its approval. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In November 2005, several environmental groups sent a notice of intent to sue the owner of the property adjacent to the former Kearny

&#147;Painesville Works&#148;). The operations there over the years involved several discrete but contiguous plant sites over an area of about 1,300 acres. The primary area of concern historically has been Chemicals&#146; former chromite ore
processing plant (the &#147;Chrome Plant&#148;). The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (&#147;OEPA&#148;) has approved certain work, including the remediation of specific sites within the former Painesville Works area and work associated with
development plans (the &#147;Remediation Work&#148;). The Remediation Work has begun. As the OEPA approves additional projects for the site of the former Painesville Works, additional amounts may need to be reserved. YPF Holdings has reserved a
total of approximately Ps.8 million as of December&nbsp;31, 2009 for its estimated share of the cost to perform the remedial investigation and feasibility study, the Remediation Work and other operation and maintenance activities at this site.

Occidental to defend and indemnify Occidental from and against certain historical obligations of Chemicals, including claims related to &#147;Agent Orange&#148; and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), notwithstanding the fact that said agreement contains
a 12-year cut-off for defense and indemnity obligations with respect to most litigation. Tierra was dismissed as a party, and the matter was tried in May 2006. The trial court decided that the 12-year cut-off period did not apply and entered
judgment against Maxus. This decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeals in February 2008. Maxus&#146; petition to the Texas Supreme Court for review was denied. This decision will require Maxus to accept responsibility for various matters for
which it has refused to indemnify Occidental since 1998, which could result in the incurrence of costs in addition to YPF Holdings&#146; current reserves for this matter. This decision will also require Maxus to reimburse Occidental for past costs

Argentina and is affiliated with the BASE. MERVAL is a corporation consisting of 133 shareholders who are the sole individuals or entities authorized to trade, either as principals or agents, in the securities listed on the BASE. Trading on the BASE
is conducted either through the traditional auction system from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on trading days, or through the Computer-Assisted Integrated Negotiation System (<I>Sistema Integrado de Negociaci&oacute;n Asistida por Computaci&oacute;n</I>, or
&#147;<I>SINAC</I>&#148;). SINAC is a computer trading system that permits trading in both debt and equity securities and is accessed by brokers directly from workstations located in their offices. Currently, all transactions relating to listed
negotiable obligations and listed government securities can be effectuated through SINAC. In order to control price volatility, MERVAL imposes a 15-minute suspension on trading when the price of a security registers a variation in price between 10%
and 15% and between 15% and 20%. Any additional 5% variation in the price of a security will result in an additional 10-minute successive suspension period. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The securities market in Argentina is composed of 10 stock exchanges, which are located in the City of Buenos Aires (the
&#147;BASE&#148;), Bah&iacute;a Blanca, Corrientes, C&oacute;rdoba, La Plata, La Rioja, Mendoza, Rosario, Santa Fe, and Tucum&aacute;n. Five of these exchanges (the BASE, Rosario, C&oacute;rdoba, Mendoza, and Santa Fe) have affiliated stock markets
and, accordingly, are authorized to quote publicly offered securities. Securities listed on these exchanges include corporate equity and bonds and government securities. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The BASE, which began operating in 1854, is the principal and longest-established exchange in Argentina. Bonds listed on the BASE may
simultaneously be listed on the Argentine over-the-counter market (<I>Mercado Abierto Electr&oacute;nico</I>, or &#147;<I>MAE</I>&#148;), pursuant to an agreement between BASE and MAE that stipulates that equity securities are to be traded
exclusively on the BASE, while debt securities (both public and private) may be traded on both the MAE and the BASE. In addition, through separate agreements with the BASE, all of the securities listed on the BASE may be listed and subsequently
traded on the C&oacute;rdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, La Plata and Santa Fe exchanges, by virtue of which many transactions originating on these exchanges relate to BASE-listed companies and are subsequently settled in Buenos Aires. Although companies may
list all of their capital stock on the BASE, controlling shareholders in Argentina typically retain the majority of a company&#146;s capital stock, resulting in a relatively small percentage of active trading of the companies&#146; stock by the
public on the BASE. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Argentina&#146;s equity markets have historically been composed of individual investors,
though in recent years there has been an increase in the level of investment by banks and insurance companies in these markets. The participation of Argentine pension funds represents an increasing percentage of the BASE market; however, Argentine
mutual funds (<I>fondos comunes de inversi&oacute;n</I>) continue to have very low participation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Regulation of the
Argentine securities market </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Argentine securities market is regulated and overseen by the CNV, pursuant to Law
No.&nbsp;17,811, as amended, which, in addition to having created the CNV, governs the regulation of security exchanges, as well as stockbroker transactions, market operations, the public offering of securities, corporate governance matters relating
to public companies and the trading of futures and options. Argentine pension funds and insurance companies are regulated by separate government agencies, whereas financial institutions are regulated primarily by the Central Bank. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In Argentina, debt and equity securities traded on an exchange or the over-the-counter market must, unless otherwise instructed by their
shareholders, be deposited with Stock Exchange Incorporated (<I>Caja de Valores S.A.</I>), a corporation owned by the BASE, MERVAL and certain provincial exchanges. Stock Exchange Incorporated is the central securities depositary of Argentina and
provides central depositary facilities, as well as acting as a clearinghouse for securities trading and as a transfer and paying agent for securities transactions. Additionally, it handles the settlement of securities transactions carried out by the
BASE and operates SINAC. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Despite a change in the legal framework of Argentine securities trading in the early 1990s, which
permitted the issuance and trading of new financial products in the Argentine capital markets, including commercial paper, new types of corporate bonds and futures and options, there is still a relatively low level of regulation of the market for
Argentine securities and investors&#146; activities in such markets and enforcement of them has been extremely limited. Because of the limited exposure and regulation in these markets, there may be less publicly available information about Argentine
companies than is regularly published by or about companies in the United States and certain other countries. However, the CNV has taken significant steps to strengthen disclosure and regulatory standards for the Argentine securities market,
including the issuance of regulations prohibiting insider trading and requiring insiders to report on their ownership of securities, with associated penalties for noncompliance. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In order to improve Argentine securities market regulation, the Argentine government issued Decree No.&nbsp;677/01 on June&nbsp;1, 2001
(the &#147;Transparency Decree&#148;), which provided certain guidelines and provisions relating to capital markets transparency and best practices. The Transparency Decree applies to individuals and entities that participate in the public offering
of securities, as well as to stock exchanges. Among its key provisions, the decree broadens the definition of a &#147;security,&#148; governs the treatment of negotiable securities, obligates publicly listed companies to form audit committees
composed of three or more members of the Board of Directors (the majority of whom must be independent under CNV regulations), authorizes market stabilization transactions under certain circumstances, governs insider trading, market manipulation and
securities fraud and regulates going-private transactions and acquisitions of voting shares, including controlling stakes in public companies. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Before offering securities to the public in Argentina, an issuer must meet certain requirements established by the CNV with regard to the
issuer&#146;s assets, operating history and management. Only securities approved for a public offering by the CNV may be listed on a stock exchange. However, CNV approval does not imply any kind of certification as to the quality of the securities
or the solvency of the issuer, even though issuers of listed securities are required to file unaudited quarterly financial statements and audited annual financial statements and various other periodic reports with the CNV and the stock exchange on
which their securities are listed, as well as to report to the CNV and the relevant stock exchange any event related to the issuer and its shareholders that may affect materially the value of the securities traded. </FONT></P>

laundering as a crime under the Argentine Criminal Code and created the <I>Unidad de Informaci&oacute;n Financiera</I> (&#147;UIF&#148;), an agency of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of Argentina responsible for investigating questionable
transactions. The Argentine Criminal Code defines money laundering as the exchange, transfer, management, sale or any other use of money or other assets obtained through a crime, by a person who did not take part in such crime, with the possible
result that such original assets (or new asset resulting from such original asset) have the appearance of having been obtained through legitimate sources, provided that the aggregate value of the assets exceeded Ps.50,000, whether such amount
results from one or more connected transactions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The money laundering legal framework assigns control and information
reporting duties to certain private sector entities, including banks, broker-dealers, trading companies and insurance companies, in many cases according to highly general criteria. According to the rules of the Guide to Unusual or Questionable
Financial and Foreign Exchange Transactions (<I>Gu&iacute;a de Transacciones Inusuales o Sospechosas en la &Oacute;rbita del Sistema Financiero y Cambiario</I>) approved by Resolution No.&nbsp;2/2002 of the UIF (as amended), such entities have an
obligation to notify the UIF of transactions falling into the following general categories: (a)&nbsp;investments in securities in amounts significantly exceeding the amounts normally invested by a particular investor, taking the business of the
investor into account; (b)&nbsp;deposits or back-to-back loans in jurisdictions known as tax havens; (c)&nbsp;requests for asset management services where the origin of funds is not certain, is unclear or does not relate to the business of the
investor; (d)&nbsp;unusual transfers of large amounts of securities or interests; (e)&nbsp;unusual and frequent use of special investment accounts; and (f)&nbsp;frequent purchases and sales of securities during the same day for the same amount and
volume, when such transactions seem unusual and inadequate considering the business of the investor. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

became effective. Pursuant to the Privatization Law, in July 1993, we completed a worldwide offering of 160&nbsp;million Class D shares, representing approximately 45% of our outstanding capital stock, which had been owned by the Argentine
government. Concurrently with the completion of such offering, the Argentine government transferred approximately 40&nbsp;million Class B shares to the Argentine provinces, which represented approximately 11% of our outstanding capital stock, and
made an offer to holders of pension bonds and certain other claims to exchange such bonds and other claims for approximately 46.1&nbsp;million Class B shares, representing approximately 13% of our outstanding capital stock. As a result of these
transactions, the Argentine government&#146;s ownership percentage of our capital stock was reduced from 100% to approximately 30%, including shares that had been set aside to be offered to our employees upon establishment of the terms and
conditions by the Argentine government in accordance with Argentine law. The shares set aside to be offered to employees represented 10% of our outstanding capital stock. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 1997, the Class C shares set aside for the benefit of our employees in conjunction with the privatization, excluding
approximately 1.5&nbsp;million Class C shares set aside as a reserve against potential claims, were sold through a global public offering, increasing the percentage of our outstanding shares of capital stock held by the public to 75%. Proceeds from
the transactions were used to cancel debt related to the employee plan, with the remainder distributed to participants in the plan. Additionally, Resolution 1,023/06 of the Ministry of Economy and Production, dated December&nbsp;21, 2006, effected
the transfer to the employees covered by the employee share ownership plan, or PPP, of 1,117,717 Class C shares, corresponding to the Class C shares set aside as a reserve against potential claims, and reserving 357,987 Class C shares until a
decision was reached in a pending lawsuit. Subsequently, with a final decision having been reached in the lawsuit, and consistent with the mechanism of conversion of Class C shares into Class D shares established by Decree 628/1997 and its
accompanying rules, as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, 1,447,983 Class C shares had been converted into Class D shares. See &#147;Item 4. Information on the Company&#151;History of YPF.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Class&nbsp;A shares held by the Argentine government became eligible for sale in April 1995 upon the effectiveness of legislation
which permitted the Argentine government to sell such shares. In January 1999, Repsol YPF acquired 52,914,700 Class&nbsp;A shares in block (14.99% of our shares) which were converted to Class D shares. Additionally, on April&nbsp;30, 1999, Repsol
YPF announced a tender offer to purchase all outstanding Class&nbsp;A, B, C and D shares at a price of U.S.$44.78 per share (the &#147;Offer&#148;). Pursuant to the Offer, in June, 1999, Repsol YPF acquired an additional 82.47% of our outstanding
capital stock. On November&nbsp;4, 1999, Repsol YPF acquired an additional 0.35%. On June&nbsp;7, 2000, Repsol YPF announced a tender offer to exchange newly issued Repsol YPF&#146;s shares for 2.16% of our Class B, C and D shares held by minority
shareholders. Pursuant to the tender offer, and after the merger with Astra Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a Argentina de Petr&oacute;leo, S.A. (&#147;Astra&#148;) and Repsol Argentina, S.A., Repsol YPF owned 330,551,981 Class D shares and therefore
controlled us through a 99.04% ownership interest until 2008. On February&nbsp;21, 2008, Petersen Energ&iacute;a S.A. (&#147;Petersen Energ&iacute;a&#148;) purchased 58,603,606 of our ADSs, representing 14.9% of our capital stock, from Repsol YPF
for U.S.$2,235 million (the &#147;Petersen Transaction&#148;). In addition, Repsol YPF granted options to Enrique Eskenazi, Sebasti&aacute;n Eskenazi, Ezequiel Eskenazi Storey and Mat&iacute;as Eskenazi Storey, shareholders of Petersen
Energ&iacute;a, or to companies that are, directly or indirectly, wholly-controlled by any of them to purchase up to an additional 10.1% of our outstanding capital stock within four years (the &#147;Petersen Options&#148;). On May&nbsp;20, 2008,
Petersen Energ&iacute;a Inversora S.A. (&#147;PEISA&#148;) exercised an option to purchase shares representing 0.1% of our capital stock. Additionally, PEISA launched a tender offer to purchase all of the shares of YPF that were not already owned by
them at a price of U.S.$49.45 per share or ADS. Repsol YPF, pursuant to its first option agreement with Petersen Energ&iacute;a, had stated that it would not tender YPF shares to PEISA. A total of 1,816,879 shares (including Class D shares and

taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge would be imposed on the amount allocated to such

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA (an Argentine Corporation) and its controlled and jointly controlled
companies (the &#147;Company&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholders&#146; equity for each of the three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31,
2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA and its controlled and jointly controlled companies as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December&nbsp;31, 2009, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to consolidated financial statements in Argentina. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA: </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA (an Argentine Corporation) and its controlled and jointly
controlled companies (the &#147;Company&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, based on the criteria established in <I>Internal Control - Integrated Framework</I> issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.&nbsp;The
Company&#146;s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying <I>Management&#146;s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Item 15)</I>. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).&nbsp;Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.&nbsp;Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.&nbsp;We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A company&#146;s internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company&#146;s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company&#146;s board of directors,
management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.&nbsp;A
company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)&nbsp;pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because of the inherent limitations of internal control
over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.&nbsp;Also, projections of any evaluation
of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, based on the criteria established in <I>Internal Control - Integrated Framework</I> issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America), the consolidated
financial statements of YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA and its controlled and jointly controlled companies as of and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 and our report dated June&nbsp;28, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph stating that the accounting principles generally accepted in Argentina vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(&#147;U.S. GAAP&#148;) and that the information related to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Notes 13, 14, and 15 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company. </FONT></P>

20% to 45% and had established the natural gas import price from Bolivia as the basis for its determination. Resolution No.&nbsp;532/2004 (in force until November, 2007) had settled the withholding rate for crude oil between 25% and 45% in function

barrel, a 45% withholding rate should be applied. If such price is under US$ 45&nbsp;per barrel, the Government will have to determine the export rate within a term of 90 business days. Furthermore, in March 2008, Resolution No.&nbsp;127/2008 of the
MEP increased the natural gas export withholding rate to 100% of the highest price from any natural gas import contract. This resolution has also established a variable withholding system applicable to liquefied petroleum gas, similar to the one
established by the Resolution No.&nbsp;394/2007. As of December&nbsp;31, 2009, the crude oil withholding rate determined according to Resolutions No.&nbsp;394/2007 and No.&nbsp;127/2008 of MEP, also currently applies to diesel, gasoline products and
other refined products. In addition, the procedure above mentioned also applies to fuel oil, petrochemical gasoline, lubricants and liquefied petroleum gas (including propane, butane and blends) and other refined products, considering different
reference and floor prices disclosed in the mentioned resolutions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Natural gas export clients are currently absorbing the

Industry, Commerce and Mining of Argentina, which imposed a fine on the Company of 109 based on the interpretation that YPF had purportedly abused of its dominant position in the bulk liquefied petroleum gas (&#147;LPG&#148;) market due to the
existence of different prices between the exports of LPG and the sales to the domestic market from 1993 through 1997. In July 2002, the Argentine Supreme Court confirmed the fine and YPF carried out the claimed payment. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:13%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, Resolution No.&nbsp;189/1999 provided the beginning of an investigation in order to prove whether the penalized behavior
continued from October 1997 to March 1999. On December&nbsp;19, 2003, the National Antitrust Protection Board (the &#147;Antitrust Board&#148;) imputed the behavior of abuse of dominant position during the previously mentioned period to the Company.
On January&nbsp;20, 2004, the Company answered the notification: (i)&nbsp;opposing the preliminary defense claiming the application of the statutes of limitation and alleging the existence of defects in the imputation procedure (absence of majority
in the resolution that decided the imputation and pre-judgment by its signers); (ii)&nbsp;arguing the absence of abuse of dominant position; and (iii)&nbsp;offering the corresponding evidence. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:13%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The request of invalidity by defects in the imputation procedure mentioned above was rejected by the Antitrust Board. This resolution of
the Antitrust Board was confirmed by the Economic Penal Appellate Court, and it was confirmed, on September&nbsp;27, 2005, pursuant to the Argentine Supreme Court&#146;s (&#147;CSJN&#148;) rejection of the complaint made by YPF due to the
extraordinary appeal denial. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:13%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, on August&nbsp;31, 2004, YPF filed an appeal with the Antitrust Board in relation
to the resolution that denied the claim of statutes of limitation. The Antitrust Board conceded the appeal and remitted proceedings for its resolution by the Appeal Court. However, in March 2006, YPF was notified that the proceedings were opened for
the production of evidence. During August and September 2007, testimonial hearings were held for YPF&#146;s witnesses. On August&nbsp;12, 2008, the Appeal Court in Criminal Economic Matters rejected the statute of limitation argument opposed by YPF.
Such decision was appealed by the Company. Upon the confirmation of the Antitrust Board&#146;s decision given by the Chamber B, YPF has appealed that judgment by cassation and extraordinary appeals, because the Antitrust Board applied Law
No.&nbsp;22,262 and Chamber B applied Law No.&nbsp;25,156. The latter mentioned rejected both appeals (cassation and extraordinary), consequently YPF presented complaint appeals against the cassation appeal, denied on December&nbsp;18, 2008, and
against the Extraordinary Appeal, denied on February&nbsp;17, 2009. Regarding the administrative proceedings before the Antitrust Board, the evidence production period has ended, and on November&nbsp;25, 2009, YPF presented its closing statement. On
December&nbsp;22, 2009, Chamber IV of the Court of Cassation rejected the appeal against the rejection of YPF&#146;s statute of limitations argument by Chamber B of the National Court of Appeals in Criminal Economic Matters. The extraordinary
appeal, filed with the cassation appeal, is still pending before the CSJN. Furthermore, on December&nbsp;21, 2009, YPF filed another claim concerning the statutes of limitations before the Antitrust Board. On April&nbsp;19, 2010, the Antitrust Board

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:13%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Pursuant to Resolution No.&nbsp;265/2004 of the Secretariat of Energy, the Argentine Government created a program of &#147;useful&#148;
curtailment of natural gas exports and their associated transportation service. Such program was initially implemented by means of Regulation No.&nbsp;27/2004 of the Under-Secretariat of Fuels, which was subsequently substituted by the Program of
Rationalization of Gas Exports and Use of Transportation Capacity (the &#147;Program&#148;) approved by Resolution No.&nbsp;659/2004 of the Secretariat of Energy. Additionally, Resolution No.&nbsp;752/2005 of the Secretariat of Energy provided that
industrial users and thermal generators (which according to this resolution will have to request volumes of gas directly from the producers) could also acquire the natural gas from the cutbacks on natural gas exports through the Permanent Additional
Injections mechanism created by this Resolution. By means of the Program and/or the Permanent Additional Injection, the Argentine Government requires natural gas exporting producers to deliver additional volumes to the domestic market in order to
satisfy natural gas demand of certain consumers of the Argentine market (&#147;Additional Injection Requirements&#148;). Such additional volumes are not contractually committed by YPF, who is thus forced to affect natural gas exports, which
execution has been conditioned. The mechanisms established by the Resolutions No.&nbsp;659/2004 and 752/2005 have been adapted by the Secretariat of Energy Resolution No.&nbsp;599/2007, modifying the conditions for the imposition of the
requirements, depending on whether the producers have signed or not the proposed agreement, ratified by such resolution, between the Secretariat of Energy and the Producers. Additionally, the Argentine Government, through instructions made using
different procedures, has ordered limitations over natural gas exports (in conjunction with the Program and the Permanent Additional Injection, named the &#147;Restrictions&#148;). </FONT></P>

the failure to deliver the contractual volumes. These clients have rejected the force majeure argument invoked by the Company, demanding the payment of indemnifications and/or penalties for the failure to comply with firm supply commitments, and/or

safety and occupational health are adequate to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental and other damage, and of resulting financial liability, in connection with its business. Some risk of environmental and other damage is, however, inherent in
particular operations of YPF Holdings Inc. and, as discussed below, Maxus Energy Corporation (&#147;Maxus&#148;) and Tierra Solutions Inc. (&#147;Tierra&#148;), both controlled by YPF Holdings Inc., could have certain potential liabilities

agencies, could in the future require material expenditures by YPF Holdings Inc. for the installation and operation of systems and equipment for remedial measures, possible dredging requirements, among other things. Also, certain laws allow for
recovery of natural resource damages from responsible parties and ordering the implementation of interim remedies to abate an imminent and substantial endangerment to the environment. Potential expenditures for any such actions cannot be reasonably

Occidental, requesting that the group enters into an agreement to conduct a cooperative assessment of natural resources damages in the Passaic River and Newark Bay. The PRRP group has declined to do so at this time, citing concerns with matters such
as the FFS being revised by EPA as described above. In January 2008, the NOAA sent a letter to YPF S.A., YPF Holdings Inc., CLH Holdings Inc. and other entities, designating them as potentially responsible parties (&#147;PRP&#148;). Such letters
have been responded, rejecting the designation as PRP. In November 2008, Tierra and Occidental entered into an agreement with the NOAA to fund a portion of the costs it has incurred and to conduct certain assessment activities during 2009.
Approximately 20 other PRRP members have also entered into similar agreements. In November 2009, Tierra declined to extend this agreement for one additional year, citing concerns arising from the Passaic River litigation.

of sediment from the Passaic River in the vicinity of the former Diamond Alkali facility. This action will result in the removal of approximately 200,000 cubic yards of sediment, which will be carried out in two different phases. The first phase,
which is scheduled to begin in 2010, encompasses the removal of 40,000 cubic yards of sediments and is expected to be completed in nine months. The first phase estimated cost is approximately US$ 45 million. The second phase involves the removal of
approximately 160,000 cubic yards of sediment. This second phase will start once the first phase is completed. Pursuant to the AOC, the EPA has required the constitution of a trust fund of US$ 80&nbsp;million for the performance of the removal work.
As of December&nbsp;31, 2009, US$ 22&nbsp;million have been deposited and an additional US$ 10&nbsp;million must be contributed every six months, until the completion of the US$ 80 million. Notwithstanding, during the first quarter of 2010, a letter
of credit to provide financial assurance has been issued, in order to avoid the restriction of additional funds pursuant to the AOC. During the removal action, contaminants not produced by the former Diamond Alkali plant, such as PCBs and mercury,
will necessarily be removed along with dioxin. Although having recognized the estimated costs related to all works mentioned above, YPF Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries may seek cost recovery from the parties responsible for such contamination,

the Privatization Law of YPF. The Court has accepted the summon of the Argentine Government in this matter. Notwithstanding the foresaid, the possibility of YPF being asked to afford these liabilities is not discarded, in which case the Argentine
Government must be asked to reimburse the remediation expenses for liabilities existing prior to January&nbsp;1, 1991. In addition, the claim partially overlaps with the request made by a group of neighbors of La Plata Refinery on June&nbsp;29,
1999, described in the first paragraph of &#147;La Plata and Quilmes environmental claims&#148;. Accordingly, YPF considers that the cases should be partially consolidated to the extent that the claims overlap. Regarding claims not consolidated,
information and documents in order to answer the claim are being collected, and for the time being, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the outcome, as long as, if applicable, estimate the corresponding legal fees and expenses that might
result. The contamination that may exist could derive from countless sources, including from disposal of waste over many years by other industrial facilities and ships. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>

2007, mentioned in the previous paragraph. Accordingly, YPF considers that if it is served in this proceeding or any other proceeding related to the same subject matters, the cases should be consolidated to the extent that the claims overlap. With
respect to claims not consolidated, for the time being, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the monetary outcome, as long as, if applicable, estimate the corresponding legal fees and expenses that might result. Additionally, YPF believes that
most damages alleged by the plaintiff, if proved, might be attributable to events that occurred prior to YPF&#146;s privatization and would therefore be the responsibility of the Argentine Government in accordance with the Privatization Law

the International Chamber of Commerce (&#147;ICC&#148;) against Endesa Internacional S.A. and YPF. EDF claimed from YPF the payment of US$ 69&nbsp;million, which were subsequently increased to US$ 103&nbsp;million plus interests, without existing
real arguments, in connection with the sale of Electricidad Argentina S.A., parent company of Edenor S.A. EDF claimed an adjustment in the purchase price it paid arguing that under the stock purchase agreement, the price it paid would be reviewed if
changes in the exchange rate of Argentine peso occurred prior to December&nbsp;31, 2001. EDF considered that this had happened. On October&nbsp;22, 2007, the Arbitral Court issued an arbitral final award in which EDF&#146;s claim and the
defendants&#146; counterclaim were partially accepted. Consequently, the arbitral final award imposed on YPF the payment of US$ 28.9&nbsp;million plus interests and judicial expenses. The Company and EDF both challenged the arbitral decision before
the Argentine justice. On April&nbsp;22, 2008, the Federal Court of Appeals on Commercial Matters declared that the appeal filed with by YPF has suspension effects on the arbitral decision. Nevertheless, EDF sought the enforcement of the arbitral
decision before the Court of the District of Delaware, United States, which was rejected by the Company. The mentioned enforcement has been rejected by the First Instance Court. The Court of Appeals of United States partially overturned such
decision and ordered the suspension of proceedings until the conclusion of the Argentine annulment proceedings, as required by YPF. Additionally YPF has been notified of the enforcement proceedings EDF has commenced in Paris, France.

into in September 1998 between YPF and TGM, associated with the natural gas export contract entered into by YPF and AESU previously mentioned. On April&nbsp;8, 2009, YPF requested the rejection of this claim and counterclaimed asking for the
termination of the natural gas transportation contract, based on the termination promoted by AESU and Companh&iacute;a de G&aacute;s do Estado do R&iacute;o Grande do Sul (&#147;Sulg&aacute;s&#148;) of the natural gas export contract. Additionally,
YPF registered a request for arbitration at the ICC against TGM, amongst others. TGM answered the arbitral complaint by requesting the rejection of all YPF claims and filed a counterclaim against YPF asking the arbitral tribunal: i) that YPF
indemnifies TGM for all of the present and future damages derived from the termination of the natural gas transportation contract and the agreement entered into between the parties on October&nbsp;2, 1998, by which YPF had agreed to pay TGM
non-capitalizable irrevocable contributions as a compensation for the extension of the natural gas pipeline Proyecto Uruguayana; and ii) that AESU / Sulg&aacute;s be severally obliged to indemnify TGM for all the damages caused to TGM derived from
the termination of the natural gas supply contract, in case AESU or Sulgas are declared responsible for that termination. Additionally, on July&nbsp;10, 2009, TGM increased the amounts of its claim to US$ 17&nbsp;million and claimed an additional
amount of US$ 366&nbsp;million as lost profit, a claim for which YPF believes it would not be responsible. YPF rejected TGM&#146;s arguments. As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Arbitration Tribunal has been

to determine that it was not competent to hear this claim. In case such motion is rejected, YPF has requested the Arbitration Tribunal to suspend this arbitration until the ongoing arbitration with TGM, AESU and Sulg&aacute;s is solved.

gas purchase/sale contracts; and (ii)&nbsp;observations on gas imports from Bolivia, in particular (a)&nbsp;old expired contract signed by YPF, when it was state-owned, and YPFB (the Bolivian state-owned oil company), under which YPF allegedly sold
Bolivian gas in Argentina at prices below the purchase price; and (b)&nbsp;the unsuccessful attempts in 2001 by Duke and Distribuidora de Gas del Centro to import gas into Argentina from Bolivia. On January&nbsp;12, 2004, YPF submitted explanations
in accordance with Art. 29 of the Antitrust Law, contending that no antitrust violations had been committed and that there had been no price discrimination between natural gas sales in the Argentine market and the export market. On January&nbsp;20,
2006, YPF received a notification of resolution dated December&nbsp;2, 2005, whereby the Antitrust Board (i)&nbsp;rejected the &#147;non bis in idem&#148; petition filed by YPF, on the grounds that ENARGAS was not empowered to resolve the issue when

support of its position. On June&nbsp;22, 2007, YPF presented to the Antitrust Board, without acknowledging any conduct in violation of the Antitrust Law, a commitment consistent with Art. 36 of the Antitrust Law, requiring to the Antitrust Board to
approve the commitment, to suspend the investigation and to file the proceedings. On December&nbsp;14, 2007, the Antitrust Board decided to transfer the motion to the Court of Appeals as a consequence of the appeal presented by YPF against the

the natural gas supply to the domestic market during the period 2007 through 2011 (the &#147;Agreement 2007-2011&#148;). The purpose of this Agreement 2007-2011 is to guarantee the normal supply of the natural gas domestic market during the period
2007 through 2011, considering the domestic market demand registered during 2006 plus the growth of residential and small commercial customer&#146;s consumption (the &#147;Priority Demand&#148;). </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>

be the first to be called upon in order to satisfy such mentioned shortage. The Agreement 2007-2011 also establishes terms of effectiveness and pricing provisions for the Priority Demand consumption. Considering that the Resolution anticipates the
continuity of the regulatory mechanisms that affect the exports, YPF has appealed the Resolution and has expressly stated that the execution of the Agreement 2007-2011 does not mean any recognition by YPF of the validity of that Resolution. On
June&nbsp;22, 2007, the National Direction of Hydrocarbons notified that the Agreement 2007-2011 reached the sufficient level of subscription. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

Argentine GAAP, financial statements are presented in constant Argentine pesos (&#147;reporting currency&#148;), as mentioned in Note 1. Foreign currency transactions are recorded in Argentine pesos by applying to the foreign currency amount the
exchange rate between the reporting and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange rate differences arising on monetary items in foreign currency are recognized in the income statement of each year. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under U.S. GAAP, a definition of the functional currency is required, which may differ from the reporting currency. Management has determined for YPF and
certain of its subsidiaries and investees the U.S. dollar as its functional currency in accordance with the Accounting Standard Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) No.&nbsp;830, <I>&#147;Foreign Currency translation&#148; </I>(&#147;ASC
No.&nbsp;830&#148;). Therefore, the Company has remeasured into U.S. dollars its financial statements and the financial statements of the mentioned subsidiaries and investees as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, prepared in accordance with
Argentine GAAP by applying the procedures specified in ASC No.&nbsp;830. The objective of the remeasurement process is to produce the same results that would have been reported if the accounting records had been kept in the functional currency.
Accordingly, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the balance sheet date (current) exchange rate. Amounts carried at prices in past transactions are remeasured at the exchange rates in effect when the transactions occurred. Revenues and
expenses are remeasured on a monthly basis at the average rates of exchange in effect during the period, except for consumption of nonmonetary assets, which are remeasured at the rates of exchange in effect when the respective assets were acquired.
Translation gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities arising from the remeasurement are included in the determination of net income (loss) in the period such gains and losses arise. For certain YPF&#146;s subsidiary and investees,
Management has determined the Argentine peso as its functional currency. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the financial statements of the mentioned subsidiary and investees into U.S. dollars are not included in
determining net income and are reported in other comprehensive income (&#147;OCI&#148;) as a component of shareholders&#146; equity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
amounts obtained from the process referred to above are translated into Argentine pesos following the provisions of ASC No.&nbsp;830. Assets and liabilities were translated at the current selling exchange rate of Argentine pesos 3.80, 3.45 and 3.15
to US$ 1, as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses reported in the income statement are translated at the exchange rate existing at the time of each transaction or, if appropriate, at the
weighted average of the exchange rates during the period. Translation effects of exchange rate changes are included in OCI as a component of shareholders&#146; equity. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

proved oil and gas properties the Company performed the impairment test on an individual field basis. From January 2009, the Company has reassessed its proved oil and gas properties&#146; grouping for impairment purposes, as a consequence of certain
regulatory developments that have been implemented in Argentina during recent periods that have also affected its operation (Note 10.c). As a consequence of this reassessment from January&nbsp;1, 2009, oil properties are grouped into a unique cash
generating unit and gas properties are grouped by basin, considering logistics restrictions. Impairment charges recorded until December&nbsp;31, 2008, has not been reversed, therefore, the modification in the long-lived asset grouping has not had
any effect in the operation results for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009. Other long-lived assets are aggregated, so that the discrete cash flows produced by each group of assets may be separately analyzed. Each asset is tested following the
guidelines of ASC No.&nbsp;360, &#147;Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets&#148;, by comparing the net book value of such an asset with the expected undiscounted cash flow. If the book value exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flow,
then the impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. When market values are not available, the Company estimates them using the expected future cash flows discounted
at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the assets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There were no impairment charges under U.S. GAAP for the

impairment recorded in years ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 was mainly the result of a decrease in oil and gas reserves affecting certain long-lived assets of the YPF&#146;s Exploration and Production Business Segment. </FONT></P>

reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement cost. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the
acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. ASC No.&nbsp;410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair
value can be made. The asset retirement obligations liability is built up in cash flow layers, with each layer being discounted using the discount rate as of the date that the layer was created. Measurement of the entire obligation using current
discount rates is not permitted. Each cash flow layer is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset. This additional carrying amount is then depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is increased due to the passage of time
based on the time value of money (&#147;accretion expense&#148;) until the obligation is settled. The activity with respect to retirement obligations under US&nbsp;GAAP is detailed in Note&nbsp;15.c. </FONT></P>

be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No.&nbsp;168 was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years ending on or after September&nbsp;15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;168 did not impact the Company&#146;s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change
GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented. As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the codification
in this Report by providing references to the codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On December&nbsp;31, 2008, the SEC published the final rules and interpretations updating its oil and gas reporting requirements (&#147;SEC Final
Rule&#148;). Many of the revisions are updates to definitions in the existing oil and gas rules to make them consistent with the petroleum resource management system, which is a widely accepted standard for the management of petroleum resources that
was developed by several industry organizations. Key revisions include changes to the pricing used to estimate reserves, the ability to include non-traditional resources in reserves, the use of new technology for determining reserves, and permitting
disclosure of probable and possible reserves. The SEC required companies to comply with the amended disclosure requirements for registration statements filed after January&nbsp;1, 2010, and for annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after
December&nbsp;31, 2009. Early adoption was not permitted. Additionally, in January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No.&nbsp;2010-03, &#147;Oil&nbsp;&amp; Gas Reserves. Estimation and Disclosures&#148; in order to align the current estimation and
disclosure requirements with the requirements in the SEC Final Rule. The Company adopted the new requirements effective December&nbsp;31, 2009. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s reported reserves evaluation, results
of operations, financial position or cash flows. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable
certainty to be economically producible (from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations) prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate
expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be
reasonably certain that it will commence the project within reasonable time. In some cases, substantial investments in new wells and related facilities may be required to recover proved reserves. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In accordance with the SEC&#146;s new rules and FASB&#146;s ASC 932 as amended (see Note 13.n), information on net proved reserves as of
December&nbsp;31, 2009 was calculated using the average price during the 12-month period ending on December&nbsp;31, 2009, determined as an unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month of that period. Information on net
proved reserves as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 was calculated using year-end prices and costs, respectively. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Net reserves are defined
as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interest of YPF after deducting interests owned by third parties. In determining net reserves, the Company excludes from its reported reserves royalties due to others, whether payable in cash
or in kind, where the royalty owner has a direct interest in the underlying production and is able to make lifting and sales arrangements independently. By contrast, to the extent that royalty payments required to be made to a third party, whether
payable in cash or in kind, are a financial obligation, or are substantially equivalent to a production or severance tax, the related reserves are not excluded from the reported reserves despite the fact that such payments are referred to as
&#147;royalties&#148; under local rules. The same methodology is followed in reporting our production amounts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Gas reserves exclude the
gaseous equivalent of liquids expected to be removed from the gas on concessions and leases, at field facilities and at gas processing plants. These liquids are included in net proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas liquids. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">YPF&#146;s estimated proved reserves as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, are based on estimates generated through the integration of available and appropriate
data, utilizing well-established technologies that have been demonstrated in the field to yield repeatable and consistent results. Data used in these integrated assessments include information obtained directly from the subsurface via wellbore, such
as well logs, reservoir core samples, fluid samples, static and dynamic pressure information, production test data, and surveillance and performance information. The data utilized also include subsurface information obtained through indirect
measurements, including high quality 2-D and 3-D-seismic data, calibrated with available well control. Where applicable, surface geological information was also utilized. The tools used to interpret and integrate all these data included both
proprietary and commercial software for reservoir modeling, simulation and data analysis. In some circumstances, where appropriate analog reservoir models are available, reservoir parameters from these analog models were used to increase the
reliability of our reserves estimates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The use of new reliable technology as well as the change to an average of the first-day of the month
prices from year-end prices to calculate proved reserves did not have any material impact on YPF&#146;s proved reserves volumes in 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The standardized measure is calculated as the excess of future cash inflows from proved reserves less future costs of producing and developing the
reserves, future income taxes and a discount factor. Future cash inflows represent the revenues that would be received from production of year-end proved reserve quantities assuming the future production would be sold at year-end prices.
Additionally, year-end prices were adjusted in those instances where future sales are covered by contracts at specified prices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Future
production costs include the estimated expenditures related to production of the proved reserves plus any production taxes without consideration of future inflation. Future development costs include the estimated costs of drilling development wells
and installation of production facilities, plus the net costs associated with dismantling and abandonment of wells, assuming year-end costs continue without consideration of future inflation. Future income taxes were determined by applying statutory
rates to future cash inflows less future production costs and less tax depreciation of the properties involved. The present value was determined by applying a discount rate of 10%&nbsp;per year to the annual future net cash flows. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The future cash inflows and outflows in foreign currency have been remeasured at the selling exchange rate of Argentine pesos 3.80, 3.45 and 3.15 to US$

value of the Company&#146;s proved reserves. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the expected recovery of reserves in excess of proved reserves, anticipated changes in future prices and costs and a discount
factor representative of the time value of money and the risks inherent in producing oil and gas. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

liquid and gas volumes as of September&nbsp;30, 2009, are, in the aggregate, reasonable and have been prepared in accordance with the definitions for Proved reserves set out in Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission, attached in Appendix III. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">This assessment has been conducted within the context of GCA&#146;s understanding of
YPF&#146;s petroleum property rights as represented by YPF&#146;s management as well as the effects of petroleum legislation, taxation and other regulations that currently pertain to the property. GCA is not aware of any potential regulation
amendments which could affect the ability to recover the estimated reserves. GCA is not in a position to attest to property title, financial interest relationships or encumbrances thereon for any part of the appraised properties or interests.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating reserves and resources, and in projecting future production,
development expenditures, operating expenses and cash flows. Oil and gas reserve engineering and resource assessment must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating subsurface accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact
way. Estimates of oil and gas reserves or resources prepared by other parties may differ, perhaps materially, from those contained within this report. The accuracy of any Reserve or Resource estimate is a function of the quality of the available
data and of engineering and geological interpretation. Results of drilling, testing and production that post-date the preparation of the estimates may justify revisions, some or all of which may be material. Accordingly, Reserve and Resource
estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered, and the timing and cost of those volumes that are recovered may vary from that assumed. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For this assignment, GCA served as independent Reserve auditors. The firm&#146;s officers and employees have no direct or indirect
interest holdings in the property units evaluated. GCA&#146;s remuneration was not in any way contingent on reported reserve estimates. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Finally, please note that GCA reserves the right to approve, in advance, the use and context of the use of any results, statements or
opinions expressed in this report. Such approval shall include, but not be confined to, statements or references in documents of a public or semi-public nature such as loan agreements, prospectuses, reserve statements, press releases etc. This
report has been prepared for RY and should not be used for purposes other than those for which it is intended. </FONT></P>

reserves for other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive formation. Under no circumstances should estimates for proved undeveloped reserves
