The Company has chosen to present its financial statements corresponding to interim periods in the condensed form provided for in IAS 34. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain the events and transactions that are significant for the understanding of the changes in the financial position as of March 31, 2020 and the results of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. Therefore, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as from January 1, 2020; and the income tax expense that is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business
The amendment to IFRS 3 clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarified that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs.
These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, since the Company did not carry out a business combination during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") is the most commonly used reference rate in the global financial market. However, concerns about the sustainability of LIBOR and other interbank offered rates ("IBORs") globally has led to an effort to identify alternative reference rates. On 2017 the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority announcing that it would no longer persuade, or compel, banks to submit to LIBOR as of the end of 2021. This applies to LIBOR in all jurisdictions and in all currencies.
In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which concludes phase one of its work to respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates ("IBOR") reform on financial reporting. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (an "RFR").
The amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not initiated negotiations with the banks for those loans at LIBOR rates, the Company also do not expect any impact since they do not have hedging instruments.
The amendments to IFRS 9
The amendments include a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and must be applied retrospectively. However, any hedge relationships that have previously been de-designated cannot be reinstated upon application, nor can any hedge relationships be designated with the benefit of hindsight. Early application is permitted and must be disclosed.
These amendments had no impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, since the Company did not carry out of the hedging relationships during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material
The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, "information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity."
The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements.
A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users.
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Company.
2.3 Basis of consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, there have been no changes in the Company's ownership interests in subsidiaries during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies 2.4.1 Going concern
The 2019 coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak is currently having an indeterminable adverse impact on the world economy. While the COVID-19 has begun to have numerous worldwide effects on general commercial activity, one such effect is that the price of crude oil dropped. On March 8, 2020, Brent crude oil had its worst decline since 1991, falling 24.1% or 10.91 US dollars per barrel ("bbl") to 34.36 US / bbl. From March 16 to April 2, 2020, Brent price was below 30 US/bbl, with a minimum price of 22.72 US/bbl on March 30, 2020.
Consequently, the Group is facing a new oil market scenario with increased oil supply mainly led by Saudi Arabia and significant demand reduction due to extreme COVID-19 containment measures. These two main factors have led to an oil surplus build up resulting in a sharp drop in oil prices. At this time, given the uncertainty of the lasting effect of the COVID-19 outbreak, its impact on the Group's business cannot be determined. The Group immediately took decisive measures, such as reducing the 2020 work program. Due to the severity of the current oil price outlook, additional adjustments have been made both to capital investment plans, including renegotiation of investment commitments and leases agreements, and operating and administrative costs, with continuous monitoring to adjust further if necessary.
If the lower oil price scenario continues for a longer period of time and the Group is not able to further adjust the investments and operating costs structures to optimize its cash flows, the Group might have to recognize impairment charges of some assets which could include accounts receivables, deferred income tax assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment in the future.
Likewise, under this current challenging scenario compliance with covenants and commitments will continue to be monitored. In the event of any breach on covenants, the administrative agent or the required lenders could elect to declare the indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees reacquire.
The Board of Directors regularly monitor the Group's cash position and liquidity risks throughout the year to ensure that it has sufficient funds to meet forecast operational and investment funding requirements. Sensitivities are run to reflect latest expectations of expenditures, oil and gas prices and other factors to enable the Group to manage the risk of any funding short falls and/or potential debt covenant breaches.
Considering macroeconomic environment conditions, the performance of the operations and the Group's cash position, as of March 31, 2020, the Directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to meet all its obligations for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements.
2.4.2 Impairment testing of Goodwill and non-financial assets other than Goodwill
Non-financial assets, including identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment at the lowest level at which there are separately identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other Groups of assets or Cash Generated Units ("CGUs"). For this purpose, each owned or jointly operated oil and gas in four (4) CGUs: (i) conventional oil and gas operating concessions, (ii) unconventional oil and gas operating concessions, (iii) conventional oil and gas non-operating concessions, (iv) unconventional oil and gas non-operating concessions
The Company performed its annual impairment test in December or when circumstances indicated that the carrying value may be impaired. The Company´s impairment test for goodwill and non-financial assets is based on value in use calculations.
At the end of the period/year, the Company considers the relationship between its market capitalization and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing indicators for impairment. As of March 31, 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators mainly as result of macroeconomic instability in Argentina which led to an increase in Argentina's sovereign risk premium and the decline in the international price of crude oil.
As of March 31, 2020, management performed an impairment test as at. The Company used the cash generating value in use to determine the recoverable amount which exceeded the carrying amount.

Note 11. (Loss)/ Profit per share
- Basic
Basic profit (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the results attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average of outstanding common shares during the period of the Company.
- Diluted
Diluted profit (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the results attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period/year, plus the weighted average number of common shares with dilution potential.
Potential common shares will be deemed dilutive only when their conversion into common shares may reduce the profit per share or increase losses per share of the continuing business. Potential common shares will be deemed anti-dilutive when their conversion into common shares may result in an increase in the profit per share or a decrease in the losses per share of the continuing operations.
The calculation of diluted profit (loss) per share does not entail a conversion, the exercise or another issuance of shares which may have an anti-dilutive effect on the losses per share, or where the option exercise price is higher than the average price of common shares during the period, no dilutive effect is recorded, being the diluted profit (loss) per share equal to the basic.

Note 14. Right of use assets and lease liabilities
The Company has lease contracts for various items of buildings, office equipment and items of plant and machinery, which recognized under IFRS 16.
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities
Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right- of-use assets are subject to impairment.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset. The carrying amounts of the Company´s right of use assets and lease and the movements during the period, are detailed below:

Total current trade and other receivables | 79,841 | 93,437 |
Due to the short-term nature of the current trade and other receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be similar to its fair value. For the non-current trade and other receivables, the fair values are also not significantly different to their carrying amounts.
Trade receivables are generally on terms of 30 days for crude oil revenues and 65 days for natural gas and NGL revenues.
The Company writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings. None of the trade receivables that have been written off is subject to enforcement activities. The Company has recognized a loss allowance of 100% against all receivables over 90 days past due because historical experience has indicated that these receivables are generally not recoverable.
As of March 31,2020, and December 31,2019, trade receivables and other receivables under 90 days past due amounted to 5,051 and 6,189, respectively, and no allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables was recorded. Furthermore, it was recognized as a provision for expected credit losses in trade receivable and another receivable of 119 and 100, respectively.
As of the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the maximum exposure to credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of each class of receivables.

17.4 Fair values
This note provides information about how the Company determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities.
17.4.1 Fair value of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis
The Company classifies the fair value measurements of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy, which reflects the relevance of the variables used to perform those measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1: quoted prices (not adjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
- Level 2: data different from the quoted prices included in Level 1 observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: Asset or liability data based on information that cannot be observed in the market (i.e., unobservable data).
The following table shows the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
regularly available through a stock exchange, broker, sector-specific institution or regulatory body, and those prices reflect regular and current market transactions between parties that act in conditions of mutual independence. The market quotation price used for the financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
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. If all significant variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument can be observed, the instrument is included in Level 2.
If one or more variables used to determine the fair value could not be observed in the market, the financial instrument is included in Level 3.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period from December 31, 2019 through March 31, 2020 or from December 31,2018 through December 31, 2019.
The fair value of Sponsor Warrants is determined using the Black & Scholes warrant pricing model by taking into consideration the expected volatility of the Company's common shares in estimating the Company's future stock price volatility. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the Sponsor Warrants is based on the yield available on government benchmark bonds with an approximate equivalent remaining term at the time of the grant. The expected life is based upon the contractual term.
The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability as of March 31, 2020:
As of March 31, | |
2020 | |
Annualized volatility | 35,047% |
Domestic risk-free interest rate | 6,296% |
Foreign risk-free interest rate | 0,289% |
Expected life of warrants in years | 3 years |
This is a Level 3 recurring fair value measurement. The key Level 3 inputs used by management to determine the fair value are the market price and the expected volatility. If the market price were to increase by US 0.10 this would increase the obligation by approximately 469 as of March 31, 2020. If the market price were to decrease US 0.10 this would decrease the obligation by approximately 450. If the volatility were to increase by 50 basis points this would increase the obligation by approximately 221 as of March 31, 2020. If the volatility were to decrease by 50 basis point, this would decrease the obligation by approximately 222 as of March 31, 2020.
As of March 31, | As of December 31, | |

17.5 Financial instruments risk management objectives and policies
17.5.1 Financial Risk Factors
The Company's activities are subject to several financial risks: market risk (including the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk and the price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
Financial risk management is encompassed within the Company's global policies, there is an integrated risk management methodology focused on monitoring risks affecting the whole Company. This strategy seeks to achieve a balance between profitability targets and risk exposure levels. Financial risks are those derived from financial instruments the Company is exposed to during or at the closing of each period. As of March 31, 2020, the Company not celebrated derivative financial instruments.
Financial risk management is controlled by the Company's Financial Department, which identifies, evaluates and covers financial risks. Risk management systems and policies are reviewed on a regular basis to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company has reviewed its exposure to financial risk factors and has not identified any significant change to the risk analysis included within its 2019 annual financial statements except for the following:
17.5.1.1 Market risks
Foreign exchange risk
The Company's financial situation and the results of its operations are sensitive to variations in the exchange rate between the US and Argentine peso and other currencies. As of December 31,2019, the Company celebrated some derivative financial instruments to mitigate associated exchange rate risks and the impact in the results of the year is recognized in "Other financial results". As of March 31, 2020, the Company did not carry out exchange rate hedging operations.
The majority of the Company´s sales are directly denominated in dollar or the evolution of its price follows the evolution of the quotation of this currency.
During the period from January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020 the Argentine Peso depreciated by approximately 8%.
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in ARS exchange rate against the US Dollar, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company's profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in currencies other that the US Dollar, the functional currency of the Company. The Company's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.
As of March 31, | |
2020 | |
Change in Argentine Peso Rate | +/- 36% |
Effect in profit or loss | (26,956)/26,956 |
Effect in equity | (26,956)/26,956 |
Argentine inflationary environment
Inflation in Argentina has been high for several years, but consumer price inflation ("IPC") was not reported consistently. Given the differences in geographical coverage, weights, sampling, and methodology of various inflation series, the average IPC inflation for 2014, 2015, and 2016, and end-of-period inflation for 2015 and 2016 were not reported in the International Monetary Fund's April 2018 World Economic Outlook. The 3-year cumulative inflation using different combinations of retail price indices has been in excess of 100% since late 2017. However, the wholesale price index, which had been available consistently for the past three years, was about 75% cumulative basis in December 2017.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Argentine Peso devalued approximately 8% and for the year ended December 31, 2019 it was devalued 59%. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, annual interest rates increased approximately 20% with respect to an average annual interest rate of 65% during 2019 and the inflation rate of retail prices older accelerated considerably. As of December 31, 2019, the 3-year accumulative rate of inflation reach a level of around 180%.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The management of the interest rate risk seeks to minimize financial costs and limit the Company's exposure to interest rate increases.
Indebtedness at variable rates exposes the Company to the interest rate risk on its cash flows due to the possible volatility they may experience. Indebtedness at fixed rates exposes the Company to the interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities, since they may be considerably higher than variable rates. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, approximately 30% and 36% of the indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates, at Libor and Badlar rate plus an applicable margin. For the three- month period ended March 31, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the variable interest rate was 6.34% and 6.67%, for the loans denominated in US and 46.42% and 51.90% for the loans denominated in ARS, respectively.
The Company seeks to mitigate its interest-rate risk exposure through the analysis and evaluation of (i) the different liquidity sources available in the financial and capital market, both domestic and (if available) international; (ii) interest rates alternatives (fixed or variable), currencies and terms available for companies in a similar sector, industry and risk than the Company; (iii) the availability, access and cost of interest-rate hedge agreements. On doing this, the Company evaluates the impact on profits or losses resulting from each strategy over the obligations representing the main interest-bearing positions.
In the case of fixed rates and in view of the market's current conditions, the Company considers that the risk of a significant decrease in interest rates is low and, therefore, does not foresee a substantial risk in its indebtedness at fixed rates.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 for the year and December 31, 2019 the Company did not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates.

Note 27. Aleph Midstream S.A.
On June 27, 2019, Vista signed an investment agreement with an affiliate of Riverstone (a related party), an affiliate of Southern Cross Group and FeederCo ("Financial Sponsors") to invest in Aleph, a midstream company in Argentina.
As part of the investment agreement the Company agreed to spin-off a group of assets that will be transferred to Aleph in exchange of equity through a split-merger agreement, defined below:
On July 17 and 18, 2019, the Boards of Directors of Vista and Aleph, respectively, resolved to initiate the procedures leading to the execution of a split-merger in accordance with the following guidelines: (i) the spin-off of a portion of some assets currently ("Split Assets") owned by Vista to Aleph for the development of an infrastructure project for the processing and transportation of hydrocarbons, including crude oil and gas, in the Neuquén Basin in the Argentine Republic that includes, (1) the oil treatment plant located in the "Entre Lomas" area, the gas treatment plant located in the "Entre Lomas" area, the oil treatment plant located in the "25 de Mayo-Medanito SE" area, the facilities for the treatment of the production water associated with the crude treatment plants in the "Entre Lomas" and "25 de Mayo-Medanito SE" areas; (2) the pipelines that connect the aforementioned plants with the trunk transportation system for crude oil operated by Oldelval S.A. and for gas operated by Transportadora del Gas del Sur S.A.; and certain liabilities associated to social liabilities; (ii) Aleph's absorption of the Split Assets in exchange for equity; and (iii) the assumption and continuation by Aleph of Vista's activities and obligations in relation to the Split Assets.
From the date of the spin-off Aleph will be in a position to assume the exploitation of the Assets spined-off by Vista. The spin off-merger process is pending approval by the National Securities Commission of the Argentine Republic and the corresponding Public Registry of Commerce.
On February 26, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved an agreement entered by the Company with the Financial Sponsors by which the Company agreed to reacquired and purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of the Financial Sponsors in Aleph, at an aggregate purchase price of 37,500 (equivalent to the entire equity effectively contributed to Aleph by the Financial Sponsors). The Company made the payment on March 31, 2020, and as of such date, Aleph became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Please refer to Note 27 of annual financial statements for further detail.
