NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In the notes all amounts are shown in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1 General information
Tenaris S.A. (the Company), a Luxembourg corporation (societé anonyme holding), was incorporated on December 17, 2001 as a holding company in steel pipe manufacturing and distributing operations. The Company holds, either directly or indirectly, controlling interests in various subsidiaries. References in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements to Tenaris refer to Tenaris S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries. A list of the principal Companys subsidiaries is included in Note 31 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements were approved for issue by the Companys Board of Directors on November 4, 2010.
2 Accounting policies and basis of presentation
These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board and adopted by the European Union (IFRS).
Whenever necessary, comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.
The preparation of Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain accounting estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reported periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Material inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains (losses) on transactions between Tenaris subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. However, since the functional currency of some subsidiaries is its respective local currency, some financial gains (losses) arising from inter-company transactions are generated. These are included in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Income Statement under Other financial results.

10 Contingencies, commitments and restrictions to the distribution of profits
Contingencies
This note should be read in conjunction with Note 26 to the Companys audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Conversion of tax loss carry-forwards
On December 18, 2000, the Argentine tax authorities notified Siderca S.A.I.C., a Tenaris subsidiary organized in Argentina (Siderca), of an income tax assessment related to the conversion of tax loss carry-forwards into Debt Consolidation Bonds under Argentine Law No. 24.073. The adjustments proposed by the tax authorities represent an estimated contingency of ARS96.0 million (approximately $24.4 million) at September 30, 2010, in taxes and penalties. Based on the views of Sidercas tax advisors, Tenaris believes that it is not probable that the ultimate resolution of the matter will result in an obligation. Accordingly, no provision was recorded in these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

Contingencies (Cont.)
Ongoing investigation
The Company has learned from one of its customers in Central Asia that certain sales agency payments made by one of the Companys subsidiaries may have improperly benefited employees of the customer and other persons. The Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors has engaged external counsel in connection with a review of these payments and related matters, and the Company has voluntarily notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice. The Company is sharing the results of this review with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and will cooperate with any investigations that may be conducted by such agencies. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters or estimate the range of potential loss or extent of risk, if any, to the Companys business that may result from resolution of these matters.

14 Process in Venezuela
Nationalization of Venezuelan Subsidiaries
Within the framework of Decree Law 6058, on May 22, 2009, Venezuelas President Hugo Chávez announced the nationalization of, among other companies, the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries TAVSA Tubos de Acero de Venezuela S.A. (Tavsa) and, Matesi, Materiales Siderurgicos S.A (Matesi), and Complejo Siderurgico de Guayana, C.A (Comsigua), in which the Company has a non-controlling interest (collectively, the Venezuelan Companies). On May 25, 2009, the Minister of Basic Industries and Mines of Venezuela (MIBAM) issued official communications N°230/09 and 231/09, appointing the MIBAMs representatives to the transition committees charged with overseeing the nationalization processes of Tavsa and Matesi. On May 29, 2009, the Company sent response letters to the MIBAM acknowledging the Venezuelan governments decision to nationalize Tavsa and Matesi, appointing its representatives to the transition committees, and reserving all of its rights under contracts, investment treaties and Venezuelan and international law and the right to submit any controversy between the Company or its subsidiaries and Venezuela relating to Tavsa and Matesis nationalization to international arbitration, including arbitration administered by ICSID.
On July 14, 2009, President Chávez issued Decree 6796, which orders the acquisition of the Venezuelan Companies assets and provides that Tavsas assets will be held by the Ministry of Energy and Oil, while Matesi and Comsiguas assets will be held by MIBAM. Decree 6796 also requires the Venezuelan government to create certain committees at each of the Venezuelan Companies; each transition committee must ensure the nationalization of each Venezuelan Company and the continuity of its operations, and each technical committee (to be composed of representatives of Venezuela and the private sector) must negotiate over a 60-day period (extendable by mutual agreement) a fair price for each Venezuelan Company to be transferred to Venezuela. In the event the parties fail to reach agreement by the expiration of the 60-day period (or any extension thereof), the applicable Ministry will assume control and exclusive operation of the relevant Venezuelan Company, and the Executive Branch will order their expropriation in accordance with the Venezuelan Expropriation Law. The Decree also specifies that all facts and activities there under are subject to Venezuelan law and any disputes relating thereto must be submitted to Venezuelan courts.
On August 19, 2009, the Company announced that Venezuela, acting through the transition committee appointed by the MIBAM, unilaterally assumed exclusive operational control over Matesi.
On November 17, 2009, the Company announced that Venezuela acting through PDVSA Industrial S.A. (a subsidiary of Petroleos de Venezuela S.A.), formally assumed exclusive operational control over the assets of Tavsa. Following this formal change in operational control, PDVSA Industrial assumed complete responsibility over Tavsas operations and management and since then Tavsas operations are being managed by the transition committee previously appointed by Venezuela. The Companys representatives in Tavsas board of directors have ceased their functions.
On October 7, 2010, Venezuelas National Assembly passed a law (Acuerdo) declaring all of Matesis assets to be of public and social interest and ordering the Executive Branch to take the necessary measures for the expropriation of such assets.
The Companys investments in Tavsa, Matesi and Comsigua are protected under applicable bilateral investment treaties, including the bilateral investment treaty between Venezuela and the Belgian-Luxembourgish Union, and, as noted above, Tenaris continues to reserve all of its rights under contracts, investment treaties and Venezuelan and international law, and to consent to the jurisdiction of the ICSID in connection with the nationalization process.
Based on the facts and circumstances described above and following the guidance set forth by IAS 27R, the Company ceased consolidating the Venezuelan Companies results of operations and cash flows as from June 30, 2009 and classified its investments in the Venezuelan Companies as financial assets based on the definitions contained in paragraphs 11(c)(i) and 13 of IAS 32.
The Company classified its interests in the Venezuelan Companies as available-for-sale investments since management believes they do not fulfill the requirements for classification within any of the remaining categories provided by IAS 39 and such classification is the most appropriate accounting treatment applicable to non-voluntary dispositions of assets.
