ress Release

     YPF S.A. announced that the Board of Directors approved, in its meeting held on May 9, 2003, the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2003.

     Herein below, you will find the relevant information related to the consolidated YPF Financial Statements:

Income Tax (825)
 
Net Profit for the first quarter of 2003 1.299
 

 

 

 

Also, it should be considered that during the first quarter of 2003, the following facts have taken place:
   
Investments (principally in Exploration & Production, and Refining & Marketing areas in Argentina) rose to Ps.442 million.
   
YPF S.A. exports amounted to $641 million before hydrocarbon export withholdings, reflecting an increase of 53% as compared to the same period of the year before.
   
The effective income tax rate accrued during the first quarter of 2003 is higher than the current 35% tax rate. This is due to the fact that adjustment per inflation is not allowed by the current tax law. The biggest impact is on fixed assets.
