(1) | The Mutual funds are included in Cash and cash equivalents, Investments and Guarantee of financial operations included in Other receivables. The Government bonds are included in Cash and cash equivalents and Investments.
(2) | The fair value is based on information obtained from active markets and corresponds to quoted market prices as of year-end. A market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
(3) | The fair value of financial instruments that are not negotiated in active markets is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of market observable information, when available, and rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the Company. The techniques used for the measurement of financial instruments, are detailed below: a) DFI for forward purchases of US dollars and RMB, corresponds to the variation between the market prices at the end of the fiscal year and the time of agreement and; b) DFI interest rate swap corresponds to the present value of estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves obtained in the market.
(4) | The fair value was determined by the variation between the quoted values of certain public securities in foreign currency and Argentine pesos.
