development of technical specifications and assessment
of investment projects.
All these activities were undertaken acknowledging the
importance of and strictly complying with the rules and
regulations governing environmental protection and
seeking the constant improvement of safety, health and
human resources’ training.
PROSPECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011
The international financial crisis which began around
September 2008 has not seriously affected Latin American
economies and, mainly due to commodities prices, we
expect to face increasing activity within a reasonably
favorable context, since clients are going ahead with
several investment projects in the fields where we act:
energy, oil and gas, mining and infrastructure.
In the Oil and Gas sector, the Company is closely following
the development of projects in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico,
Canada, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Trinidad & Tobago,
and of some selected cases in other countries. We foresee
important opportunities for the execution of engineering
and construction works in regasification facilities
in Uruguay; petrochemical and refining developments
as well as gas transportation systems in Brazil and Peru,
and of oil refineries such as Barrancabermeja and Cartagena
(Colombia) and Point a Pierre (Trinidad & Tobago), where
we plan to participate in possible future bidding processes.
In Argentina, we also expect new investments in this sector,
especially in new processing units at existing refineries
and at new green field refineries. We are also considering
opportunities in oil sands upstream facilities in Canada, and
in fertilizer and offshore developments in Brazil.
Particularly in Brazil, the Company has the strategy to
focus on the ambitious program of Petróleo Brasileiro
S.A. (PETROBRAS) and other players for the development
of the offshore oil and gas fields, based on its already
operative offshore yards.
Regarding the Mining sector, basic and precious metals
are entering once again in a cycle of huge investments,
so we expect an increase of activities. Brazil, Argentina,
12
TEI&C S.A.
Chile, Mexico, Peru, Panama and Colombia are good
markets in this regard, with several new prospects at
junior level and bigger copper, iron ore, gold and silver
mines in an investment phase. Coal is also important in
Colombia, and opportunities in the germinal iron ore mines
of Uruguay could be the origin of new contracts. Some of
these projects will also include works in infrastructure and
pipelines with related pumping facilities.
ALBERTA CLIPPER PROJECT
IN CANADA.
In the Infrastructure sector, the Company will continue
analyzing several opportunities regarding energy projects
and civil infrastructure fields, such as transmission lines
in Uruguay, Mexico, Brazil and Peru, roads and bridges
in Uruguay and Argentina, and water and sewage systems
in Colombia, Uruguay and Trinidad &Tobago, just to
mention but a few.
In the case of Argentina, it is likely to try to participate
in relevant infrastructure projects, such as new thermal
power plants (at least five projects are under a call for
bids), Gasoducto del Noreste Argentino (GNEA), railroad
works and new subways in the Autonomous City
of Buenos Aires. Besides, there are plans for several
hydroelectric projects in several Argentine provinces.
The briefings given above show the Company’s willingness
and carry on efforts to maintain its presence and
leadership in the Americas engineering and construction
market. It also shows its skills in the successful
completion of important projects of a multidisciplinary
nature within quality, cost, budget and health, environment
and safety compliance.
The approach in all these opportunities will be to work
closely with our clients to better understand their needs
and bring value added to their operations.

PROCUREMENT
The main works performed regarding supplies
are related to the projects under development stated
in the Engineering section.
The goals set for this six-month period are focused on
the contribution from procurement to improving the
Company’s competitiveness by means of a comprehensive
revision of the respective purchasing strategies and of
processes and procedures, in view of optimizing costs,
reliability and transparency in management.
In this respect, the Company put the emphasis on the
specialization of procurement headcount and the increasing
use of IT tools, with a focus on the following aspects of
procurement management:
The Company continued with the program for the total
renewal of TEPAM equipment in ten years. The goal
is to set the age of such machinery in five years to help
reduce repair costs and obtain a competitive improvement.
In the workshop area, the construction of a prefabricated
Warehouse was started for piping within TEPAM Argentina
site to service several projects in progress.
In Chile, TEPAM consolidated its presence by acquiring a
site in the Second Region, outside the city of Antofagasta,
on National Road 5, La Negra Industrial Park. In addition,
the Company installed at Chincha, Peru (approximately 200
km south of Lima) a yard to serve as an operating base for
future projects in this country.
TEPAM investment value in machinery, vehicles, and tools
for the July-December 2010 period was USD 21.1 million.
i) Increasing the contribution of value by focusing the
purchasing strategy on the critical success factors,
management total cost, productivity and strategic factors.
ii) Encouraging the specialization of the sector and,
consequently, organizing the structure based on demand.
iii) Boosting the use of IT supporting systems for bids,
supplier management and management indicators of the
department and of each of the projects.
In addition, work has been done on the development of
new suppliers from Asian countries.
During the next fiscal year, the Company will keep on
working on the abovementioned actions which will impact
on the management indicators defined.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT (HSE)
TEI&C is a company acting in several countries, with
different cultures and degrees of evolution in relation
to prevention; however, the Company has managed to
incorporate it as an intrinsic value to its activities, giving
prevention top priority in its management.
TEI&C has developed a preventive vision focused on a
commitment to safety, occupational health, environmental
protection and the welfare of communities. In this respect,
our Integrated Management System (IMS) has proved
to be effective to anticipate and prevent accidents and
unsafe conditions concerning industrial safety, health and
environmental protection.
TECHINT EQUIPMENT DIVISION (TEPAM)
During this period, in addition to the administration,
maintenance, repair, assistance and allocation of
equipment to the different projects, TEPAM continued to
provide assistance to the Warehouse and General Services
areas, with the purpose of supporting the start-up of
works and, subsequently, monitoring their needs during
the development of projects.
Since its implementation, the IMS has allowed to reduce
global accident rates (Frequency Rate and Seriousness
Rate) by over 85%, and this shows a substantial
improvement in accidentology related to works, an issue
which is acknowledged and valued by clients.
The system is focused on the identification of risks
associated to the work developed by the Company,
37
Board of Directors’ Report
compliance with local laws, application of coherent
preventive procedures for all the Company’s units
together with an ongoing and widespread training.
The IMS is also innovative regarding methods,
such as behavior-based safety and preventive Safety
Observation at Work (OST).
To minimize the repetition of incidents and accidents,
in addition to performing other actions addressed to
equipment and facilities and to safety in the working
place, individual performance is monitored by means
of a specific indicator, TACOP [“Tablero de Comando
de Actividades Operativas de Prevención”] – Preventive
Actions Command Switchboard, PACS). This results
in the promotion of a strong commitment of employees
to become aware and internalize preventive conducts,
and this commitment also applies to sub-contractors.
The IMS is externally audited by Det Norske Veritas
(DNV) and certified under international standards
(ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007); a high
degree of compliance with such standards has been
verified in all cases.
We must state that preventive actions in the last period
have resulted in:
From our processes standpoint, the Company is clearly
oriented to continuous improvement and pays special
attention to efficiency, simplification of processes and
value added in each of its operations.
In the July-December 2010 period, the following actions
have been completed:
– Substantial completion of the review and update of the
Company’s Document Base and progress in the research
and development of a knowledge management model to
be gradually implemented.
– Redefinition and establishment of the main quality
indicators for products associated to the projects
developed by the Company.
– Quantitative and qualitative improvement of client
satisfaction measurement in the different projects, by
means of a more in-depth cross-sectional analysis of
information and by generating improvement actions.
– Boosting and improvement in measurement and use of
quality management indicators for projects, in particular
the PQI (Project Quality Index).
– Improvement of the single database of findings follow-up,
by establishing the status follow-up of each one of them
– Boosting of the safe operating discipline.
in the projects, as well as an alert system for the different

functional areas with a direct responsibility.
– More severity in the use of field managerial tools.
– Improvement of analysis of risks related to change
management.
– In December 2009, the Company obtained a new
certification pursuant to ISO 9001:2008 on Quality
– Improvement of preventive revision of vehicles, equipment

and qualification of drivers/operators.
and, during 2010, it was submitted to two external audits,
with excellent results.
QUALITY
The Company is always seeking to meet and exceed the
expectations of its clients, shareholders, collaborators,
suppliers and the communities where it operates.
In particular, with respect to our clients, this entails a special
focus on the quality of the products and services provided.
The Company has decided to maintain the direction
adopted in previous years, focused on the unification and
improvement of methodologies and the reliance on truthful
and updated information so as to minimize risks. It also seeks
to prevent problems and ensure the predictability of results
in order to comply with the commitment to meet and exceed
the expectations of all related stakeholders.

TEI&C S.A.
TECHNOLOGY AND IT SYSTEMS
HUMAN RESOURCES
During this period, progress continued to be made in several IT
projects related to improvements in technological infrastructure,
upgrade to new software versions and implementation of
new solutions to cover different business processes. The most
outstanding IT projects were the following:
Human resources management is a pillar of business
management with direct impact on results. Therefore, the
Company has human resources processes, which assure
the availability of talents and adequate profiles to achieve
the business strategy. Among such processes, we find
the Young Professionals Program, consisting in a program
structured to speed up the insertion of new graduates in
the business, through intensive technical and management
training, and a rotation plan exposing them to several
training experiences. Another process of human resources
management is the strict follow-up of key personnel by the
top management.
– Migration from ERP SAP 4.7 to the new version SAP
ECC 6.0, basically conducting a technical migration that
will allow to be on a more updated platform to apply new
functions and to facilitate the system adjustment upon
external requirements.
– First implementation stage of SAP HR Human Resources,
resulting in the operation of the modules of Personnel
Management and organizational structure for personnel
paid on a monthly basis in Argentina, as a first step of
implementation within a global project.
– Update of the central infrastructure of datacenters, migrating
to a server virtualization technology, which facilitates
management and optimizes the existing infrastructure.
During this period, Engineering has continued making
progress on the use and implementation of new plant
design and simulation software for the purpose of leading
engineering of projects. These tools include: Intergraph
Smart Plant Enterprise (plant design system consisting
of processes, mechanics, equipment, electricity and
instruments, etc.), Thermoflow (for simulation and design
of gas, combined cycle and carbon power plants), Metsim
(metallurgical simulator for mining processes), ANSYS
(simulation of 3D fluids and structural calculation), etc.
In addition, works were developed to improve and
support prevention management systems, thus improving
management information as a whole.
Besides, progress was made in the implementation of an
internal management tool related to incident management
and IT settings.
During this period, a new edition of the Postgraduate
Course in Project Management, an in-house program
addressed to professionals in different areas of the
Company and its subsidiaries with potential to hold key
positions in project management. This program and
other programs developed at senior management and
supervision levels seek to develop both technical and
managerial competences.
The boosting of the employee performance evaluation
system is essential, since it constitutes a fundamental
management tool for the Company.
In addition, during this period, a new working
environment survey was conducted among our
employees: there was a general improvement
in the indicators, which, in turn, reflects a solid
commitment of our people to the Company.
We would like to thank all our clients, suppliers, banking
institutions and above all, our employees whose work on
a daily basis have contributed to these results.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
NOTE 1.
general information
TEI&C S.A. (“TEI&C”), a company controlled by Techint
Limited, was registered in Uruguay in February 2005
and is a part of the Techint Group (“TG”). TEI&C’s
purpose is to engage in investments by holding equity
interests in companies or organizations whose corporate
purpose includes engineering, construction and services.
References in these consolidated financial statements
to “TEI&C” or “Company” refer to TEI&C S.A. and its
consolidated subsidiaries.
For the purpose of unification of the end of the fiscal
year of engineering and construction companies, the
governing bodies have determined December 31 as the
most suitable date. On December 2, 2009 a Board of
Directors´ Meeting decided to change the closing date
of the fiscal year to December 31.
During the current six-month period, TEI&C experienced
some changes in its investment portfolio as regards
its participating interests in companies related to the
engineering, construction and service businesses, which
are detailed as follows:
– During this period, the Company contributed to Preglosid
S.L.U. (“PREGLOSID”) 3,591,000 US Treasury Bills,
representing the sum of USD 3,589,897 (equal
to EUR 2,868,934) and the receivable for the balance
of a loan for USD 194,762.49 (equal to EUR 146,658.50).
By means of these transactions, PREGLOSID increased
its capital stock, and the new participating interest of
the Company is 6,500,003 shares plus an issue premium
for EUR 5,490,335.08.
– In August 2010, the Argentine subsidiary Techint
Compañía Técnica Internacional S.A.C.I. (“TEARG”)
registered a branch in the Republic of Brazil, with
a capital stock of R$ 100,000.
– In order to comply with the provisions of the laws of
the Republic of Uruguay, the Board of Directors of the
indirect subsidiary in such country, Techint Compañía
Técnica Internacional S.A.C.I. (“TEURU”), made a partial
capitalization of the capital adjustment in November 2010.
– In December 2010, the Company and TEARG subscribed
and paid in a capital increase in Techint Engenharia e
Construção S.A. (“TEBRA”) for R$ 40,000,000. The
contribution was made taking into account the relevant
shareholding, i.e. TEI&C paid in the sum of R$ 38,400,000
(equal to USD 22,628,167.35). Thus the Company now
holds 6,391,747 shares of the Brazilian company.
– In September 2010, the Canadian indirect subsidiary
Techint E&C Inc. (“TECAN”), created a new company in
Canada called Techint Construction Limited (“TECON”),
upon the subscription of a capital stock of CAD 250,000.
– During this period, the Mexican company Techint S.A. de
C.V. (“TEMEX”), continued with transactions aimed at
adjusting its participating interests to the requirements
of its business areas. Thus, in August 2010, it created
KST Electric Power Company S.A. de C.V., where TEMEX,
through TECNOPOWER S.A., holds 10% of the capital
stock. Besides, the companies Elina Sureste S.A. de C.V.
and Elina de Occidente S.A. de C.V. were wound up.
– The corporate reorganization among Argentine companies
that took place at the end of the previous fiscal year,
consisting in the capitalization of Tecnomatter Instalaciones
y Construcciones S.A.I.F. (“TMR”) and Sidernet S.A.
(“SDT”), the spin off of TMR and the subsequent merger
of the spin off with SDT, was registered before the
Argentine Inspection Board on December 13, 2010.

Consolidated Financial Statements
Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
– During the current period, the subsidiary TENCO started
negotiations aimed at transferring the shares of its
subsidiary company Saudi Techint Ltd. Therefore, assets
and liabilities related to such company have been
reclassified as “assets of disposal group classified as held
for sale” and “liabilities of disposal group classified as held
for sale” as of December 31, 2010 (See notes 11 and 31).
During the previous fiscal year, TEI&C experienced
some changes in its investment portfolio which are
detailed as follows:
– In September 2009, the Company contributed to Techint
Ingeniería y Construcciones S.L.U. (“TIC”) the direct
participating interests it held as of such date in Argentine
engineering and construction companies, i.e. 140,516,186
shares, representing 97.70538% of the capital stock of
Techint Inversiones S.A.I.F. and 125,981,909 shares of
TEARG, representing 38.94340% of the capital stock and
voting rights. Upon this transaction, TIC increased its capital
stock, and therefore, the new Company’s participating
interest is 5,000,002 shares plus an issue premium for
EUR 81,699,999.99, thus becoming also the European
holding of this business by concentrating the operations
in Argentina, Canada, Central America and Mexico.
de C.V. (COMEI) 60% of the shareholding in Norpower,
S.A. de C.V., and 100% of the shares of TGT de México,
S.A. de C.V. to companies of the energy sector of the
Techint Group.
After the recomposition of capital of Terminales Portuarias
del Pacífico S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“TPP”), subsidiary of TEMEX,
Carbonser S.A. de C.V. sold its whole participating interest
in TPP. Finally, in June 2010, TEMEX acquired 25% of the
shares of Mexcarbón S.A. de C.V. and of Carbonser, S.A.
de C.V., since the relevant contract undertaking such
purchase had been executed in November 2008. The
difference between the price paid and the book value was
charged to equity as capital surplus (USD 2.6 million).
In December 2009, Tecnopower S.A. de C.V. was created,
but to this date this company has not engaged in any
business activities.
Besides, TEMEX wound up the companies the purpose
of which had already been performed or which were
inactive, including the following: Tecnomatter, S.A. de C.V.,
Elina 407, S.A. de C.V., Elinatech S.A. de C.V.
– In March 2010, PREGLOSID S.L.U. subscribed and
paid in a capital increase in its subsidiary Sidernet
Mexicana S.A. de C.V. for 21,398,889 shares. By mid– As a result of the capital contribution made in March 2010
by the Company in Socominter Sociedade Comercial
April 2010, TEI&C contributed to PREGLOSID the direct

Prestaciones Globales Siderúrgicas S.A., i.e. 8,445,080
which took place in May, our direct shareholding in
shares, representing 97.50% of the capital stock.
SOCOMINTER is 0.088%.
Upon this transaction, PREGLOSID increased its capital
stock, and therefore, the new Company’s participating
interest is 6,500,001 shares plus an issue premium
– Throughout the previous fiscal year, TEMEX continued with
transactions aimed at reorganizing its business areas.

TEI&C S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
– In June 2010, the shareholders of the Argentine companies
TMR and SDT resolved a corporate reorganization,
consisting in the capitalization of both companies, the
spin off of TMR and the subsequent merger of the spin
off with SDT, the latter becoming the successor for the
supply of steel and iron services.
Taking into account the change of the fiscal year closing
date, stated in note 1, the accounting information
included in these consolidated financial statements for
the six-month period began on July 1, 2010 and ended on
December 31, 2010, cannot be compared to accounting
information for the annual fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
– On July 21, 2009 TEARG founded Techint Ingeniería
y Construcción Bolivia S.A. to take part in construction
projects for buildings, rouds, dams, dwelling houses
and transformation industrial plants for any kind of
industries and activities.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified
to conform to changes in presentation in the current
six-month period.
These consolidated financial statements were approved for
issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 29, 2011.
note 2.
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation
of these consolidated financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all
the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
a. Basis of preparation
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its best judgment in the
process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of
complexity, or the areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the consolidated financial
statements, are disclosed in note 2.d.
Classification of Venezuela as a hyperinflationary economy
During the previous fiscal year, a number of factors arose
in the Venezuelan economy that led the Company to
reconsider the treatment it follows with respect to the
translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries.
Within these factors it is worth highlighting the level
of cumulative inflation over the past three years; the
restrictions to the official foreign exchange market and,
finally, the devaluation of the Bolívar Fuerte.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (“IASB”), under the historical cost
convention, as modified by the revaluation of machinery,
equipment and vehicles (“Revaluation of PP&E”), availableAs a result, in accordance with IFRS, Venezuela must
for-sale assets, financial assets and liabilities (including
be considered a hyperinflationary economy. The main
derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss,
implications of this circumstance are as follows:
employee benefits and translation of subsidiaries whose
functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary

Consolidated Financial Statements
Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
– All components of the financial statements of the
Venezuelan companies have been translated at the closing
exchange rate, which at December 31, 2010 and June 30,
2010 was 4.3 Bolívares Fuertes per USD.
The revised standard clarifies and simplifies the definition
of a related party and removes the requirement for
government-related entities to disclose details of all
transactions with the government and other governmentrelated entities.
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures
Standards and amended standards mandatory for the first
time for the Financial Statements beginning July 1, 2010 and
adopted by the Company
None of the standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations to existing standards which are effective for
the Company for the six-month period ended December
31, 2010 were relevant to the operation of the Company,
and therefore, no impact resulted from the application
of those standards, amendments and interpretations on
these consolidated financial statements.
Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing
standards that are not yet effective and have not been early
adopted by the Company
The following standards, amendments and interpretations
to existing standards have been published and are not yet
effective for the Company in the six-month period ended
December 31, 2010:
IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, issued in November 2009.
This addresses the classification and measurement of
financial assets and is likely to affect the Company’s
accounting for its financial assets. The standard is not
applicable until January 1, 2013, but is available for early
adoption. The Company’s management has not yet
assessed the potential impact that the application of IFRS
9 will have on the Company’s financial statements.
IAS 24 (Revised), “Related party disclosures”, issued in
November 2009. It supersedes IAS 24, ‘Related party
disclosures’, issued in 2003. IAS 24 (revised) is mandatory
for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Earlier
application, in whole or in part, is permitted.
The application of this revised standard is not expected
to have a significant impact on the presentation
of the Company’s results of operations, financial position
or cash flows.
As follows, other standards and interpretations to
existing standards not yet effective and not adopted by
the Company before, though they are not relevant to the
Company’s operations:
– IFRS 1 (Amendments), “First time adoption, on financial
instrument disclosures”.
– IFRIC 19 “Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity
instruments”.
– IFRIC 14 (Amendment), “Prepayments of a minimum
funding requirement”.
– IAS 19 and IFRIC 14 (Amendment), “Asset Limit for
Defined Benefit, Minimum Requirements for Provision of
resources (funding) and their Interaction”.
Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards
In May 2010, the IASB published the annual
improvements with several international accounting
and financial reporting standards amendments.Entities
shall apply these amendments for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2011. If entities
apply these amendments to an earlier period, they
shall disclose this fact.
The Company’s management estimates that the
application of these amendments will not have
a material effect on the Company’s financial condition
or results of operations.

b. Consolidation
Subsidiary companies
Subsidiaries are entities which are controlled by TEI&C
as a result of its ability to govern an entity’s financial and
operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding
of more than 50% of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are
consolidated from the date on which control is exercised
by the Company and are no longer consolidated from the
date control ceases.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account
for the acquisition of subsidiaries by TEI&C. The cost of
an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets
given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred
or assumed at the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related
costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets
acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in
a business combination are measured initially at their fair
values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of
any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition
over the fair value of TEI&C share of the identifiable net
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of
acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets
of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized
directly in the income statement.
If the companies acquired were under common
control, the assets and liabilities of such companies
(and their respective subsidiaries) are accounted for
at the predecessor’s cost, reflecting the carrying
amount of such assets and liabilities contributed to
the Company. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements include the financial position of the
abovementioned companies at historical book values
and no adjustment has been made to reflect fair
values at the time of the contribution. The difference
between the price paid and the historical book value
was charged to equity.
Material intercompany transactions, balances and
unrealized gains on transactions between TEI&C and
its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies
of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to
ensure consistency with the policies adopted by TEI&C.
According to the laws of the countries of certain subsidiaries,
a portion of the profit of the period/year is separated to
constitute statutory reserves until they reach statutory capped
amounts. These legal reserves are not available for dividend
distribution and can only be released to absorb losses.
See note 25 to the consolidated financial statements
for the list of consolidated subsidiaries.
Transactions and non-controlling interests
The Company treats transactions with non-controlling
interests as transactions with equity owners of TEI&C.
For purchases from non-controlling interests, the
difference between any consideration paid and the
relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net
assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains
or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests
are also recorded in equity. When TEI&C ceases
to have control or significant influence, any retained
interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with
the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss.
Associated companies
Associated companies are entities in which TEI&C has
significant influence but not control, generally accompanying
a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting
rights (see note 6). Investments in associated companies
are accounted for by the equity methods of accounting and
are initially recognized at cost. The Company´s investment
in associated companies includes goodwill identified
on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss.

Consolidated Financial Statements
Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
The Company’s share of its associated companies’ postacquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income
statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in
reserves is recognized in reserves. The cumulative postacquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying
amount of the investment. When the Company’s share
of losses in an associated company equals or exceeds its
interest in such company, including any other unsecured
receivables, the group does not recognise further losses,
unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on
behalf of the associated companies.
joint ventures that result from the Company’s purchase
of assets from the joint ventures until it re-sells the
assets to an independent party. However, a loss on the
transaction is recognized immediately if the loss provides
evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of
current assets, or an impairment loss.
c. Foreign currency translation
i. Functional and presentation currency
Unrealized gains on transactions between TEI&C and its
associated companies are eliminated to the extent of
TEI&C’s interest in the associated companies. Unrealized
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment indicator of the
asset transferred. Financial statements of associated
companies have been adjusted where necessary to ensure
consistency with IFRS.
Items included in the consolidated financial statements
of each entity in which TEI&C holds participating interests
are measured using the currency that best reflects
the economic substance of the underlying events and
circumstances relevant to that entity (“the functional
currency”). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, which is the
functional currency of TEI&C. The consolidated companies’
first record transactions using their functional currency and
their financial statements are then translated to U.S. dollars
with the only purpose of being consolidated by TEI&C.
Joint Ventures

Joint Ventures (“JV”) are jointly controlled entities, which
involve the establishment of a corporation, partnership or
other entity in which each venturer has an interest.
functional currency
TEI&C’s interest in jointly controlled entities is accounted
for by the proportionate consolidation method. TEI&C
consolidates its share of the joint ventures’ individual
income and expenses, assets and liabilities on a lineby-line basis with similar items in TEI&C’s financial
statements. See note 20 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional
currency are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing
on the date of the transactions, and the corresponding
exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income
statement.
Monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the
functional currency are translated at the period/year-end
exchange rate.
iii. Translation of balances and results of consolidated companies
The Company recognises the portion of gains or losses on
the sale of assets by the Company to the joint ventures
that is attributable to the other ventures. The Company
does not recognise its share of profits or losses from the
The results and financial position of all the consolidated
companies that have a functional currency different from
the Company’s presentation currency are translated into
the presentation currency as follows:
66
TEI&C S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
– assets and liabilities of each balance sheet are translated
at the closing rate on the date of that balance sheet;
– income and expenses for each income statement
are translated at an average exchange rate; (unless
this average is not a reasonable approximation of the
cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction
dates, in which case income and expenses are translated
at the rate on the dates of the transactions);
– all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a
separate component of equity.
In the case of sale or other disposition of any such subsidiary,
any accumulated translation adjustment would be recognized
in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sales.
The financial statements of subsidiaries companies whose
functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy are adjusted for inflation in accordance with the
procedure described in the following paragraph prior to
their translation to USD. Once restated, all the items of
the financial statements are converted to USD using the
closing exchange rate. Amounts shown for prior years for
comparative purposes are not modified.
To determine the existence of hyperinflation, TEI&C assesses
the qualitative characteristics of the economic environment
of the country, such as the trends in inflation rates over
the previous three years. The financial statements of
companies whose functional currency is the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy are adjusted to reflect the changes
in purchasing power of the local currency, such that all items
in the statement of financial position not expressed in current
terms (non-monetary items) are restated by applying a general
price index at the financial statement closing date, and all
income and expense, profit and loss are restated monthly
by applying appropriate adjustment factors. The difference
between initial and adjusted amounts is taken to profit or loss.
d. Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
requires Management to estimate and evaluate both
recorded and contingent assets and liabilities as of
a certain date, as well as income and expenses recorded
during the reporting period. The future actual results
may differ from estimates made as of the date of
preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are
based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
There follows a description of the most relevant estimates
used to prepare these consolidated financial statements:
Percentage of completion method
The Company uses the percentage-of-completion method in
accounting for its contract revenues and expenses. Use of the
percentage-of-completion method requires the Company to
estimate the services performed to date as a proportion of the
total services to be performed. Furthermore, in determining
the contract revenue, TEI&C considers the estimated outcome
for each of the construction contracts which are in progress.
Income taxes
The Company is subject to income taxes in numerous
jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the
worldwide provision for income taxes. There are transactions
and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is
uncertain. TEI&C recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit
issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be
due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different
from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences
will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and
liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

Allowances for doubtful accounts
Management maintains an allowance for trade and other
receivables to account for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of clients to make required payments.
When evaluating the adequacy of an allowance for trade
receivables, Management bases its estimates on the aging
of accounts receivable balances and historical write-off
experience, client credit worthiness and changes in client
payment terms.
assets are valued at their acquisition or construction cost
less accumulated depreciation.
The straight-line method has been used to calculate
depreciation, by applying annual ratios sufficient to
terminate the value of each item as of the end of their
estimated useful life or upon termination of concession,
whichever occurs first.
Useful lives used to calculate depreciation charges
Other estimations
In addition, the Company´s Management makes
estimations to calculate, at certain moment the
recoverable amounts of assets, the depreciation and
amortization and the provision for cost and contingencies.
are as follows:
Buildings and improvements
20-50 years
Production equipment10-20 years
Vehicles, furniture and fixtures, and other equipment 3-10 years
Land Not depreciated
e. Property, plant and equipment (PP&E)
Machinery, equipment, vehicles and others
As a general rule, TEI&C has adopted historical acquisition
or construction cost less accumulated depreciation as the
measurement criterion for PP&E.
However, in the case of machinery, equipment and vehicles
used in the construction business, TEI&C has adopted
fair value as the measurement criterion (see note 4).
Land and buildings
Land and buildings are stated at historical cost. Buildings
are depreciated using the straight-line method, by applying
annual ratios sufficient to terminate the value of each item
as of the end of their estimated useful life.
The residual values and useful lives of significant
machinery, construction equipment and vehicles
are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
period/year-end date.
Where the carrying amount of an asset is higher than
its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down
immediately to its recoverable amount.
Fixed assets of Ferroexpreso Pampeano S.A.C. (“FEPSA”)
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. When
revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the
reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus are transferred
to retained earnings.
These assets represent improvements on the assets
received under concession by FEPSA, as well as those
devoted to service rendering, which will be transferred
to the assignor upon termination of the concession. Such
Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the
consolidated income statement during the financial period
in which they are incurred.

TEI&C S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
f. Intangible assets
Systems development
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized
on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring
to use the specific software. These costs are amortized
over their estimated useful lives (three to five years).
Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer
software programs are charged to expenses as incurred.
Costs that are directly associated with the production
of identifiable and unique software products controlled
by TEI&C and that will probably generate economic
benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognized
as intangible assets. Direct costs include the software
development employee costs and an appropriate portion
of relevant overhead.
Computer software development costs recognized as
assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives
(not exceeding three years).
Property and equipment and other non-current
assets subject to depreciation, including intangible
assets, are reviewed for impairment losses whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount
by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an
asset net selling price and its value in use. For the
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped
at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows.
h. Financial assets
The Company classifies its financial assets in the
following categories: at fair value through profit
or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale.
The classification depends on the purpose for which
the financial assets were acquired. Management
determines the classification of its financial assets
at initial recognition.
Goodwill
Compañía Inversora Ferroviaria S.A.I.F. (“COINFER”)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Goodwill represents the greater cost derived from the
investment in the subsidiary FEPSA as a result of the
compulsory subscription and payment of the portion of
capital corresponding to Ferrocarriles Argentinos (16%)
and the portion corresponding to staff (4%) pursuant to
the concession contract.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is
classified in this category if acquired principally for
the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives
are also categorized as held for trading unless they
are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are
classified as current assets.
Goodwill is valued at original cost, less accumulated
amortization; it is calculated over the term of the
concession of the service provided by FEPSA.
g. Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example
Goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are tested
annually for impairment.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. They are included in current assets,
except for maturities greater than 12 months after the date
of the statement of financial position. These are classified
as non-current assets.

Consolidated Financial Statements
Six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and year ended June 30, 2010
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
Available-for-sale financial asset
j. Derivative financial instruments
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that
are either designated in this category or not classified
in any of the other categories. They are included in noncurrent assets unless management intends to dispose
of the investment within 12 months of the end of the
reporting period.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date
a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing
the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the
derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so,
the nature of the item being hedged.
Recognition and measurement
The Company documents at the inception of the transaction
the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged
items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy
for undertaking various hedging transactions. TEI&C also
documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on
an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in
hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes
in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are
recognized on the trade - date - the date on which
the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus
transaction costs for all financial assets not carried
at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets
carried at fair value through profit or losses are initially
recognized at fair value and transaction costs are
expensed in the income statement. Financial assets
are derecognized when the rights to receive cash
flows from the investments have expired or have
been transferred and the Company has transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Availablefor-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair
value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized
cost using the effective interest method.
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date
whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset
or a group of financial assets is impaired.
i. Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net
amount reported in the statement of financial position
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset
the recognized amounts and there is an intention
to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of
derivatives denominated and qualified as cash flow hedging
is disclosed in other Comprehensive income. The gain
or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately
disclosed in the consolidated income statement.
The amounts accumulated in equity are disclosed in the
consolidated income statement in the periods in which the
hedged item affects gains and losses.
k. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable
value less the corresponding allowance for obsolescence.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion
and direct selling expenses. In general, cost is determined
by using weighted average price.
The allowance for obsolescence has been calculated
based on Management’s analysis of aging.

TEI&C S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
l. Construction contracts work in progress
A construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated
for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets
that are closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of
their design, technology and functions or their ultimate
purpose or use.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be
reliably estimated, contract revenue is recognized to the
extent of contract costs incurred where it is probable
those costs will be recoverable. Contract costs are
recognized when incurred.
When the outcome of a construction contract can be
reliably estimated, contract revenue and contract costs are
acknowledged by the percentage of completion method.
The stage of completion is measured by reference to the
relationship contract costs incurred for work performed
to date bear to the estimated total costs for the contract.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed
total contract revenue, the expected loss is immediately
recognized as an expense.
Costs incurred in the year in connection with future
activity on a contract are excluded from contract costs in
determining the stage of completion. They are presented
as inventories, prepayments or other assets, depending on
their nature.
When a construction contract includes reimbursable works
and the Company is responsible for providing design,
engineering and construction services and labor and all
equipment and materials, construction equipment and
supplies, the amount of these works is recognized in
revenues and costs.
for construction contracts for all contracts in progress
for which costs incurred plus recognized profits (less
recognized losses) exceed progress billings.
TEI&C presents as a liability (within Construction contracts
work in progress) the gross amount due to clients for
construction contract for all contracts in progress for which
progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognized
profits (less recognized losses).
m. Other investments
Other investments include deposits in investments funds and
equity instruments, which are classified as financial assets
“at fair value through profit and loss” or “available for sale”.
Other investment funds comprise mainly financial
resources within offshore trusts, the purpose of which
is exclusively to ensure that the financial needs for the
normal development of their operations are met.
Investments in companies in which TEI&C has less than
20% of the voting rights are valued at cost, because its fair
value cannot be reliably measured.
n. Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially measured at
their fair value, which is generally their nominal value,
unless the effect of discounting is material, subsequently
measured at amortized cost less provision for impairment.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is established when
there is objective evidence that the Company will not be
able to collect all amounts due according to the original
terms of receivables.
o. Trade and other payables
TEI&C shows as an asset (within Construction contracts
work in progress) the gross amount due from clients
Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods
or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course

of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified
as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or
less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair
value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the effective interest method.
p. Cash and cash equivalents
Assets recorded in cash and cash equivalents are carried at
fair market value or at historical cost which approximates
fair market value. For the purposes of the consolidated
statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
comprise cash on hand, demand deposits with banks and
other short-term highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are included within borrowings in current
liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
q. Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The balances
of the consolidated statement of changes in equity at
December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 include:
– The value of share capital, capital surplus, reserve for
PP&E revaluation surplus, legal reserve, and retained
earnings in accordance with IFRS.
– The currency translation differences of TEI&C’s subsidiaries.
– Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries.
Dividends distributions are recorded in the Company’s
financial statements when Company’s shareholders
have the right to receive the payment, or when interim
dividends are approved by the Board of Directors in
accordance with the by-laws of the Company.
r. Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recorded based on the fair value
of the net proceeds. Borrowings are subsequently stated
at amortized cost using the effective yield method; any
difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs)
and the redemption value is recognized in the income
statement over the life of the borrowings.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless TEI&C
has an unconditional right and firm intention to defer
settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after
the balance sheet date.
s. Current and deferred income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of
the tax laws in force in the countries in which TEI&C and
each one of its subsidiaries operate.
Deferred income tax is recorded in full, using the liability
method, on temporary differences arising between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the consolidated financial statements. Currently enacted tax
rates are used in the determination of deferred income tax.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available to offset
temporary differences.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences
arising on investments in subsidiaries, associated
companies and joint ventures, except where the timing of
the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled
and it is probable that the temporary difference will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.
t. Employee benefits
Certain TEI&C’s subsidiaries have in force benefit plans
under the modality of “non-funded defined benefits”
72
TEI&C S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
and “other long-term benefits” which, subject to certain
conditions established by such companies, are granted
during the term of employment and after retirement,
which plans are recorded following the guidelines of
accounting rules and regulations in force and effect.
lives of employees based on actuarial calculations.
This provision is measured at the present value of the
estimated future cash outflows, using applicable interest
rates. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized over the
average remaining service lives of employees.
The provisioned liabilities for such employee benefits are
recorded at the current value of the future flows of funds,
the amount being charged during the relevant employees’
remaining years of services up to the moment when the
conditions necessary for the granting of each benefit are
satisfied. Such liabilities are calculated by independent
actuaries, at least once a year, using the “Projected credit
unit” method.
Benefits provided by the plan are calculated on a sevenyear salary average.
Other subsidiaries have implemented a supplementary
pension benefit plan with two programs: “PGBL - Plano
Gerador de Benefício Livre” and “VGBL - Programa de
Seguro de Vida com Cobertura por Sobrevivência”. These
programs are generally funded through payments by the
subsidiaries to independent insurance companies. Both
programs are defined contribution plans.
Pension plans and other post-retirement benefits
Certain TEI&C’s subsidiaries officers are covered by a
specific employee retirement plan designed to provide
retirement, termination and other benefits to those officers.
TEI&C’s subsidiaries are accumulating assets for the
ultimate payment of those benefits in the form of
investments. The investments are not part of a particular
plan, nor are they segregated from TEI&C’s other
assets. Due to these conditions, the plan is classified as
“unfunded” under IFRS.
Retirement costs are assessed using the projected unit
credit method: the cost of providing retirement benefits
is charged to the statement of income over the service
The laws in the different countries in which TEI&C’s
subsidiaries carry out their operations provide for pension
benefits to be paid to retired employees from government
pension plans and/or private funds managed plans.
Amounts payable to such plans are generally calculated
based on a percentage of employee salaries and are
accounted for on an accrual basis.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s
employment is terminated before the normal retirement
date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary
redundancy in exchange for these benefits.
TEI&C’s subsidiaries recognize termination benefits
when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating
the employment of current employees according to a
detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal, or
providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made
to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due
more than twelve months after balance sheet date are
discounted to present value.
Profit-sharing and bonus plans
A liability for employee benefits in the form of profitsharing and bonus plans is recognized in other provisions
when there is no realistic alternative but to settle
the liability and provided at least one of the following
conditions is met:

– past practice has created a valid expectation in employees that
they will receive a bonus/profit-sharing and the amount can be

Liabilities for profit-sharing and bonus plans are expected
to be settled within twelve months and are measured at
the amounts expected to be paid when they are settled.

The Company sells maintenance services. The revenue is
generally recognized in the period the services are provided,

note 3.
Financial risk management
The nature of TEI&C’s operations as well as its
multinational character expose the Company to a variety of
risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency,
exchange rates, capital risk, concentration of credit risk,
liquidity risk and interest rates risk. The nature of its
contracts implies that TEI&C has to manage risks regarding
uncertain conditions in the hiring of procurement, which is
usually a large part of the scope of work.
To manage the high volatility related to these financial
matters, Management evaluates exposures on a consolidated
basis to take advantage of its global and multinational activity.
For some of these exposures, the Company or its subsidiaries
enter into derivative transactions in order to manage potential
adverse impacts on the Company’s financial performance.
x. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and
discontinued operations
a. Capital Risk
Assets of disposal group and liabilities associated with
these assets are classified as “assets and liabilities
classified as held for sale” when their carrying amount
is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction
and a sale is considered highly probable.
The Company seeks to maintain an adequate debt to total
equity ratio considering the risks involved in the industry
and the markets where it operates. The period/year end ratio
of debt to total equity (where “debt” comprises all financial
borrowings and “equity” is the sum of financial borrowings
and shareholders’ equity) is 0.06 as of December 31, 2010,
and June 30, 2010. The Company does not have to comply
with regulatory capital adequancy requirements.
When the Company intends to dispose of a business
component that represents a separate major line
of business or geographical area of operations it
classifies such operations as discontinued. The post tax
profit or loss of the discontinued operations is shown
as a single amount on the face of the consolidated
income statement, separate from the other results of
the Company.
They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be
recovered principally through a sale.
b. Foreign exchange risk
TEI&C’s business activities are conducted in the respective
functional currencies of the subsidiaries. However, the
Company transacts in currencies other than the respective
functional currencies of the subsidiaries. There are
significant monetary balances held by the Company at
each period/year-end that are denominated in US dollars.
It is worth stating that the US dollar is not the functional
currency in some subsidiaries.

The Company estimates that the impact under IFRS on the
net exposure at December 31, 2010 of a simultaneous 1%
favorable or unfavorable movement in the main exchange
rates would result in a maximum pre-tax gain or loss of
approximately USD 1,427 thousands as compared with a
maximum pre-tax gain or loss of approximately USD 1,494
thousands at June 30, 2010.
The Company’s net exposure to the currency other than
the functional currency is managed on a case-by-case
basis, partly by hedging certain expected cash flows with
foreign exchange derivative contracts.

c. Credit risk
Most accounts receivable relate to clients operating
in a range of industries and countries with contract
which require ongoing payments as the development
project progresses, upon the rendering of services
or upon completion and delivering of the project. It is
normal practice that the Company reserves the right
to suspend the project if there is a remarkable breach
of the contract term, in particular the non-payment of
amounts owed.
In general the greatest risk for such assets is the risk of
not collecting a trade account receivable. This is because,
a) it may be a significant value in the development of
works or in the provision of services; b) it is beyond the
Company’s control. However, the risk of customers being
unable to make a payment in such contracts is considered
to be low, and typically relate to problems characterized
as technical matters, i.e relating to the risk inherent in the
service rendered, under the Company’s control.
The following table sets forth details of the age of trade
receivables:

d. Liquidity risk
Management maintains sufficient cash and cash
equivalents to finance normal operations and believes that
TEI&C also has access to market for short-term working
capital requirements.
TEI&C financing strategy is to maintain adequate financial
resources and access to additional liquidity. During
the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 TEI&C
has counted on cash flows from operations as well as
additional bank financing to fund its transactions.
TEI&C has a conservative approach to the management of
its liquidity, which consists of cash and cash equivalents,
comprising cash in banks, short-term money market funds
and highly liquid short-term securities.
TEI&C holds its cash and cash equivalents primarily
in USD. Liquid financial assets as a whole are
25% of total assets at December 31, 2010 (23%
at June 30, 2010).
See note 14 for the maturity of borrowings and note 16
for the maturity of trade and other payables.
e. Interest rate risk management
The Company’s financing strategy is to manage
interest expense using a mixture of fixed-rate and
variable-rate debt.
The following table summarizes the proportions
of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt as of each
period/year end.
12.31.10

39%
13,266
35%
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the
Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially
independent from changes in market interest rates.
The Company estimated that, if interest rates would have
been 100 basic points higher, with all other variables
held constant, total profit for the six-month period ended
December 31, 2010 would have been USD 166 thousands
lower (USD 132 thousands lower at June 30, 2010).
f. Fair value estimation
The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities
with maturities of less than one year approximates to
their fair value.
See note 10 – “Determining fair values”.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
Technical appraisal of PP&E
The technical appraisal was performed by external
professionally qualified valuation specialists in relation
to machinery, construction equipment and vehicles,
based on periodic valuations of the assets in order not
to differ materially from their fair value at the financial
statements date.
Management believes that the resulting value
approximates fair value. As per International Accounting
Standard N° 16 “Property, plant and equipment”
(“IAS 16”), when an item of property and equipment
is revalued, the entire class of property and equipment
to which that asset belongs should be revalued.
Machinery, construction equipment and vehicles
corresponding to the subsidiaries that did not make
the abovementioned revaluation are not significant.
The “sales comparison” method was used to obtain the
fair value of these assets for which there is a wide and
transparent secondary market. This approach consists
in obtaining information from recent sales or offers of
assets bearing similar characteristics, age and condition.
Correction factors that take into account the status of
the market offer and demand prevailing as of the date of
the appraisal, the relative age, probable residual useful
life, state of conservation and asset obsolescence are
applied to the sales price. The “cost less depreciation”
method was used to obtain the fair value of assets with a
restricted sales market.
Depreciation was computed based on generally used and
accepted engineering criteria which led to establishing
the reasonable value of PP&E. Such criteria take into
account factors such as the age of each asset, probable
residual or expected life, state of conservation and degree
of obsolescence. The market value was obtained by
applying the depreciation ratio to the value of a new asset.
These subsidiaries intend to perform this appraisal
with the frequency required by IAS 16 in order to keep
fair values of appraised assets updated.
The net decrease in value of machinery, construction
equipment and vehicles resulting from the technical
appraisal performed on December 31, 2010 amounted
to USD 4,819 thousand and was attributed USD 2,389
thousand to comprehensive income and accumulated
in equity under “Reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus”
(corresponding to decrease in previously revaluated
assets) and USD 2,430 thousand to the Consolidated
Income Statement as an impairment loss in “Other
operating results”.
The increase in value of machinery, construction
equipment and vehicles resulting from the technical
appraisal performed on June 30, 2010 amounted to
USD 76,976 thousand and has been recorded net of tax
effects USD 20,981 thousand in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in equity under the heading of
“Reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus”. The decrease in
the carrying amount of asset as a result of revaluation
(amounting to USD 5,701 thousand) has been recorded
in the Consolidated Income Statement in “Other income
and expenses, net”, during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2010. The decrease of prior revaluation increases of the
same asset were charged to other comprehensive income
and accumulated in equity under “Reserve for PP&E
revaluation surplus” amounted to USD 5,808 thousand and
has been recorded net of tax effects USD 841 thousand.

Historical cost
Accumulated depreciation
Residual value
The “Reserve for PP&E revaluation surplus” is reversed,
net of tax effects, through (i) the retirement of the
equipment appraised or (ii) depreciation charges. The
difference between depreciation of appraised assets and
depreciation of the historical values of such assets is
charged against accumulated results.

Determining fair values
The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at
fair value, by valuation method.
The different methods have been defined as follows:
Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based
on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The following table presents the assets that are measured
at fair value:

The recoverable value of deferred tax assets depends on
the existence of future income subject to income tax,
sufficient to be used before their legal prescription. In this
regard, Management estimates that TEI&C’s subsidiaries
will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods so
as to offset the net balance of deferred income tax assets
recorded at December 31, 2010.

b. Works executed under a trust, construction,
and leasing agreement
TEARG, as a member of the JV Techint Compañía
Técnica Internacional S.A.C.I. - Impregilo S.p.A. (Sucursal
Argentina) - Iglys S.A., has signed a contract with
the Argentine Government for the construction of
a penitentiary institution, under the turnkey system,
located in Ezeiza, province of Buenos Aires, payable
in 60 quarterly installments as canon, nominated in USD.
The JV accepted the pesification of canons at a ARS 1-USD
1 rate and the application of the Reference Stabilization
Index (RSI) until the effective date of payment, according
to the Agreements executed by the JV with the Ministry of
Justice and Human Rights, dated November 19, 2003 and
September 9, 2004. The canons collected plus RSI after
the Agreement dated September 9, 2004, were Nº 17, 18,
19, 20, 21 and 22. On the other hand, before execution of
such Agreement, canon N° 8 was also collected plus RSI in
January 2003.
That notwithstanding, the JV received from such Ministry
payments for several canons not applying the RSI, which
have been taken by the JV as partial payments of the total
amount due and payable arising from the Agreement dated
September 9, 2004.
Thus, from January 2006 to the date of issue of these
financial statements, the JV received as partial payment
a total amount of USD 42,453(1) thousand corresponding
to canons 10 to 16 and 23 to 45 at a ARS 1-USD 1 rate,
not applying the RSI. Taking into account this situation,
the JV Management made a new estimate of the
date of probable collection of the RSI past due and to
become due.
The proportional participation of TEARG in the total balance
receivable of the JV with the Argentine Government as of
November 30, 2010 amounts to USD 54,469(1) thousand (at
May 31, 2010: USD 56,630(1) thousand).
The amount of such credit recorded in these consolidated
financial statements, which arises from discounting the
amounts mentioned above from their current value on
November 30, 2010, is equal to USD 27,142(1) thousand,
capital USD 9,150(1) thousand and RSI USD 17,992(1)
thousand, (at May 31, 2010: USD 28,285(1) thousand,
capital USD 10,087(1) thousand and RSI USD 18,198(1)
thousand) of which the amount of USD 11,540(1) thousand
is past due at December 31, 2010 (at June 30, 2010: USD
10,857(1) thousand).
All these financial credits correspond to the canons
receivable from the Argentine Government, due and to
become due, which were recorded as per the Agreement
executed on September 9, 2004 with the Undersecretariat
of Coordination and Innovation under the National Ministry
of Justice and Human Rights, in Pesos at a rate of ARS
1-USD 1 and adjusted with RSI up to December 31, 2008.
As from such date, credits were no longer adjusted with
RSI as a result of the filing of the Arbitration Claim before
the International Court of Arbitration of the International
Chamber of Commerce stated in the following paragraph.
Taking into account the Ministry of Justice’s delay as to a
resolution and payment of the overdue debt, Santander
Río Trust S.A., in its capacity as Trustee and Grantor of
the Leasing, on July 4, 2008, following the JV’s express
instructions, submitted a note demanding payment of
amounts due. Upon failure to answer by the Ministry of
Justice, on November 28, 2008, an Arbitration Claim was
filed before the International Court of Arbitration of the
International Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose
of appointing an arbitration tribunal consisting of three
arbitrators and to hold the respondent, the Argentine
Government, liable for payment of the amounts claimed
(1) Outstanding collecting amounts are nominated in argentine peso. The figures shown in USD belong to the amounts
in argentine pesos which were translated at the year end exchange rate. (December 31, 2010: USD 1 – ARS 3,976
and June 30, 2010: USD 1 – ARS 3,931)

plus any interest that may be accrued and the new terms
of the debt to expire during the arbitration process. The
arbitration claim was notified to the Argentine Government
in May 2009, the Arbitral Tribunal was constituted and
the Mission Statement was issued on December 7, 2010.
In the opinion of the JV’s Management and of its legal
advisors, it is estimated that, by application of the legal
rules and regulations regarding pesification (application
of RSI to due canons) which should be applicable to this
contractual structure, the JV has a solid legal position to
collect its credits within the scope of the abovementioned
legal rules and regulations.
In May 2009, the JV was informed of the passing of
Executive Order N° 541/09, which empowers UNIREN to
renegotiate the Construction, Trust and Leasing Agreement
executed in 1998 in relation to Penitentiary Complex I
(Ezeiza). The JV has not consented to the provisions of
such executive order by virtue of the defects thereof. On
June 18, 2009, a letter was submitted through Santander
Río Trust S.A., in its capacity as Trustee and Grantor of the
Leasing, following the JV’s express instructions, to the
above-stated respect claiming the unlawful nature of such
executive order. That notwithstanding, and making it clear
that this entails no waiver whatsoever of its rights, including
the right to enforce its rights and defenses in the ongoing
arbitration proceeding, on September 8, 2010, the JV
executed a Memorandum of Understanding with UNIREN
since it believes that under the terms of such MOU (i) the
acknowledgement made in the Agreement executed with
the Ministry of Justice on September 9, 2004 is ratified, (ii)
UNIREN acknowledges the debt upon failure to apply the
RSI and (iii) the JV states its position that as to all the claims
and its intention of suspending the arbitration upon actual
payment by the State of all amounts due.
As of the date of issue of these financial statements,
while the arbitration proceeding continues, the claimants
and respondent continue holding conversations in order to
assess the possibility of an eventual solution of the conflict.
c. Other Contingencies and uncertainties
The Company has tax and civil lawsuits for which the legal
advisors do not expect a probable unfavorable outcome
and, therefore, no provision was set up. The amounts of
these contingencies amount as of December 31, 2010
to USD 14,109 thousand for tax contingencies and USD
2,847 thousand for civil contingencies (At June 30, 2010:
USD 9,611 thousand for tax contingencies and USD 4,198
thousand for civil contingencies).

Discontinued operations
In April 2008, the Government of the Bolivarian Republic
of Venezuela made public its decision to nationalize
SIDOR C.A., Sidernet de Venezuela C.A. (“Sidernet”)
and Servicios Siderúrgicos Sersisa, S.A. (“Sersisa”)’s
only client. On April 29, 2008, the National Assembly
of Venezuela agreed to declare SIDOR C.A.’s shares of
public use and social interest. On April 30, 2008, the
President of Venezuela sent to the Supreme Court of
Justice an Executive Order with the rank, value and
force of an Organic Law (Ley Orgánica de Ordenación)
to regulate the companies involved in iron & steel
activities in the Region of Guayana, for such Court to
render an opinion on the constitutional standing of the
Executive Order’s organic nature. On May 9, 2008, the
Supreme Court of Justice declared the constitutionality
of the organic nature and ordered the transformation
of SIDOR C.A, its affiliates and subsidiaries into stateowned companies, and declared the activities performed
by SIDOR C.A., its affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as
the works, tasks and services required to perform such
activities, of public use and social interest.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont’d.)
All amounts are shown in USD thousands, unless otherwise stated.
Based on the foregoing, on June 12, 2008, the Sidernet’s
management sent a notification to SIDOR C.A.’s new
board stating its intention to transfer the services rendered
by the Company to SIDOR C.A. through the sale of all
its pieces of equipment, fixtures and fittings and other
investments made, as well as to transfer its entire and
detailed payroll, except for expatriated personnel, together
with the stock of spare parts, tools and consumables in
the inventory, and the services paid in advance as of the
date the service is transferred.
On September 26, 2008, SIDOR was notified of the
company’s intention to early terminate the contract, which
early termination took place on April 7, 2009. On such date,
SIDOR and Sidernet executed the Agreement for Early
Termination of “The Contract”, Final Receipt of services
and delivery of equipment and spare parts, whereby
both parties stated that the business relationship existing
between them by virtue of such Contract was terminated,
and therefore, all the obligations to do (affirmative
covenants) assumed by the companies deriving from the
execution of “The Contract” became extinguished, except
as otherwise provided for in such document.
The acknowledgment of completion for the Contract of
Heavy Cleaning and Raw Material Handling Services was
executed in November 2010; therefore, the commercial
relationship between Sidernet and SIDOR was terminated.
This acknowledgment of completion set forth the time
schedule for invoicing and collection of the debt deriving
from such document.
Based on the facts and circumstances described above
the Company ceased consolidating Sidernet and Sersisa’s
results of operations as from July 1, 2007 and classified a
group of assets and liabilities as held-for-sale.
The results of operations generated by Sidernet and
Sersisa as held-for-sale were presented as discontinued
operations in these financial statements.

Subsequent events
On February 15, 2011, the subsidiary TENCO executed the
sale and purchase agreement with a related company. All
the quotas of Saudi Techint Limited (60%) were transferred
to such company; the selling price was USD 5.5 million.
On February 16, 2011, TENCO and the minority
shareholder of the company in Saudi Techint Ltd. executed
a settlement agreement whereby TENCO agrees to pay
the sum of USD 7 million, thus settling the disputes for
the complaint for damages and claim filed by such minority
shareholder before the 15th Commercial Tribunal of the
Board of Grievances of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, TENCO
shall recapitalize Saudi Techint Ltd. with a total of USD 9.3
million to cover all the accumulated losses as at December
31, 2010 and to increase the share capital with no dilution
of minority shareholder’s participation in Saudi Techint Ltd.
(resulting a change in non-controlling interest amounted to
USD 3.7 million).
The Company´s Board of Directors, at a meeting held
on February 15, 2011, decided to distribute a dividend in
cash for USD 65 million, which shall be ratified by the
Shareholder´s Meeting to be held to consider the results
of the irregular period ended December 31, 2010.
On March 14, 2011, the Company acquired 27,279,110
quotas of Tecpetrol do Brasil Ltda., representing 100% of
such company’s capital stock.
On April 4, 2011, the Superior Court of Justice rendered a
decision in the proceedings filed by the subsidiary TEBRA
against Unión Federal. Such decision upheld the claim for
damages deriving from the unilateral termination of the
contract executed in the 90´s for the construction of a
Center for Children Integral Care subject to coordination
by the Ministry of Education. The amount of the claim
to be received by the company shall be determined by
professionals qualified for such purposes.
